Chapter 63 Kind Miss Joey

On its way back to move things, the Skitty encountered Curly Ears. It ran over meowing and rubbed against Curly Ears, then started showing off that it had become an employee of Anjie's family.

The electric lizard and the foam squirrel walked hand in hand, singing as they went, when suddenly the digging rabbit popped out from under their feet and bumped them, making them both fall on their bottoms.

The electric lizard and the foam squirrel weren't angry; they dusted themselves off and stood up.

"Hoopoo~ Hoopoo~" What happened? Why do you two seem to be in such a good mood?

Digging Rabbit was holding a blade of grass in its arms, chewing on it while asking questions curiously.

"Rami~ Rami~" Hmph~ You didn't know that, did you!

Foam Squirrel, hands on its hips, strutted around in front of Digger Rabbit with a smug look on its face, its not-so-round belly sticking out.

"Hoo-pu~" What do you know?

The rabbit continued munching on the grass roots, oblivious to its surroundings.

"Ai-li~ Ai-li~" Because we've become employees of Anjie's company!

At this moment, the electric lizard shouted loudly.

The rabbit paused in its munching on the grass roots, its expression froze, and it didn't even notice the grass roots falling to the ground.

Just as it was about to ask if it was true, it saw the foam squirrel and the umbrella electric lizard already walking away hand in hand, humming a little tune.

Digging Rabbit paused for a moment, then grabbed a fallen blade of grass and ran across the grass like lightning, shouting as it ran, "Hoo-hoo~ Hoo-hoo~ Hoo-hoo~" Oh no! Oh no! Something terrible has happened! Foam Chipmunk and Umbrella Electric Lizard have become employees of Anjie's family!

Before long, the news that Candlelight Spirits' family had been recruited by An Jie spread like wildfire across the plateau, and everyone was filled with envy.

As soon as the Candle Spirits finished packing their things, they went outside and saw everyone gathered around their door. As soon as they saw them come out, everyone swarmed around them, asking questions all at once.

CocoDora: "Knock-a-doodle-doo~" Naughty panda, how did you become an employee of Anjie's family?

Mischievous Panda: "Ya cha~ Ya cha~" Of course, it's because I'm awesome!

Screw Mole: "Giggle~ Giggle~" Hey, now that you're an employee of Anjie's, will you stop playing with us?

The cheeky cat stood up and patted the screw-like mole on the shoulder, "Meow~ Meow~" Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on.

Four Seasons Deer: "ki~ki~" Melting Beast, I really want to work at Anjie's house too. Can you tell me how to do it?

The Melting Beast looked bewildered. "Ku-ling~ Ku-ling~" I don't know!

……

Finally, amidst everyone's envious gazes, the Candle Spirits carried their luggage and moved into the staff dormitory.

The same Gardevoirs are here.

"Ruth~Ruth~" Mom, Mom, are we really going to move into Angie's house?

Ralts sat on the rock, watching her parents packing their things, her two little white and tender feet dangling back and forth.

"Sanagi~Sanagi~" That's right, our new home is so beautiful, I'm sure you'll love it.

Gardevoir patted Ralts' mushroom head in response.

"Ruth~ Ruth~" Really? That's great!

Ralts jumped off the rock, spread its wings, and ran around its parents, mimicking the flight of a rocket bird.

"Ruth~ Ruth~" I'm so happy~

Splat~~

Ralts tripped and fell flat on her face.

"Sana~"

Gardevoir exclaimed in surprise, but Ralts had already quickly gotten up.

"Ruth~" Hehe~~

Ralts grinned at her parents, then calmly patted the dust and dirt off her body.

At that moment, the Fiery Fox, Greninja, and Bricaron appeared outside the door.

Upon seeing their good friends arrive, Gardevoir and Gallade quickly invited them in.

"Maho~ Maho~" I heard you're moving into Anjie's house?

"The fiery red fox asked."

"Ailu~ Ailu~" Yes, Anjie's family built a new employee dormitory, and they asked us to move there to make it easier for us to work.

Gallade replied, and to prevent the Flame Fox and the others from not knowing what a staff dormitory was, it gave a special explanation.

After hearing Gallade's words, the three of them, including Fairy Fox, looked envious. When would they be able to get a stable job and be allocated housing?

"Lika~Lika~" Come on, let me help you move it.

Bricaron strode forward and took the item from Gallade's hand.

Actually, Gallade's family didn't have anything particularly special to move; the couple could easily handle it. Bricaron was so enthusiastic simply because he wanted to see Gallade's new home.

Gallade and Gardevoir did indeed have the intention to show off, so they tacitly accepted the help of the three guardians.

Soon the family of three arrived at their new home with three neighbors.

After entering the room, the three Pokémon looked left and right, their eyes filled with curiosity and envy. The dreadlock touched the soft blanket on the bed and couldn't help but exclaim, "Mwah~ Mwah~" It must be so comfortable to sleep here.

Upon hearing this, Ralts nimbly climbed onto the bed and started jumping around on it.

"Ruth~Ruth~" Mom, Dad, hee hee hee~~~ So fun, so fun!

The three demonic foxes were even more envious, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy. "They both feared their brothers would suffer and feared their brothers would drive Land Rovers" perfectly described their true feelings at that moment.

With the arrival of the Gardevoir and Litwick families, the secret fortress gained a more vibrant atmosphere.

Soon it was time for everyone to plant trees together. While working, the Pokémon gathered in twos and threes to chat, mostly discussing Lidcat and the others being employed, as well as the staff dormitory.

It's a pity that these tree planters are only temporary workers for Anjie's family and can't move into the staff dormitory.

Hoping to be valued by Angel and live a life free from worries about food and shelter, the Pokémon worked even harder.

Time flies, and deep winter has arrived in the blink of an eye. The Kingdom of Azot has also welcomed its second snowfall of the winter. This snowfall is even heavier than the last one, and the entire royal city of Azot is now covered in snow.

Because of the extremely cold weather, some stray Pokémon have recently gathered near the Munchlax House. As a result, many customers pack up their leftovers after breakfast and give them to these stray Pokémon.

At 10 a.m., Anjie closed the door on time as usual. After all the guests had left, he came out of the kitchen carrying a pot.

Since the customers have all done their part for the stray Pokémon, he, as the owner, can't just do nothing.

Seeing this, Meowth and Ralts followed behind him, and together they arrived at a small alley not far away.

As for the Tearful Lizard, it wasn't there. It didn't like the cold capital of Azot, so it returned to the Nibel Plateau first.

Deep in the alley were some tattered cardboard boxes, covered with snow. Several Pokémon were huddled inside, shivering: two Oddish, two Paras, and two Shroomish.

Anjie walked over and tapped the cardboard box. Six Pokémon popped their heads out of the box one after another, then looked at Anjie with a puzzled expression.

Unlike the Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau, most of the Pokémon that roam the city are not afraid of humans, and they sometimes even actively beg for food from humans.

Anjie took out a few plates and placed them on the ground, then took out the steaming hot buns and mantou. "Come on, eat up."

The Oddish thanked Angel gratefully and then began to wolf down their food. They were very hungry. Normally, Pokémon like Oddish could obtain nutrients through photosynthesis in the sunlight, but the weather at this time made it impossible for them to do so.

The moment the hot buns and steamed bread entered their stomachs, the Pokémon felt warm all over.

While the Pokémon were eating, Angel bought a small wooden house from the system shop. The house was only about half a person's height, but it was enough for Oddish to live in.

After setting up the wooden house in the corner of the alley, Anjie put a blanket inside. Once the six Pokémon had finished eating, Anjie pointed to the wooden house and said to them:

"You can stay there."

Several Pokémon's eyes lit up when they saw the wooden house.

"Beat it up~ Beat it up~" Are you really letting us stay here?

Anjie nodded. "Really, I hope you can get through this winter safely." Anjie offered her blessings to them.

"Beat it up~ Beat it up~"

"kino~kino~"

"Para~ Para~"

……

The six Pokémon thanked Angel and then lined up to go into the wooden house.

"Hey~" It's so warm~

"Kino~" So comfortable~ So comfortable~

"Para~" You guys move closer to me.

……

The six Pokémon squinted and huddled together, letting out comfortable sighs.

"See you later." Ange waved goodbye to the six Pokémon.

The six Pokémon huddled together, poking their heads out of the cabin, saying goodbye to Ange and thanking him.

Anjay turned to leave, only to find a Ralts left at his feet. He asked, "Where's the Psychic Meowth?"

"Russ~"

Ralts shook its head. Its attention had been entirely focused on the six Pokémon, and it hadn't noticed when Psychic Bulbasaur had disappeared.

Anjie scanned the alleyway with his eyes, but after failing to find Super Meow Meow, he quickly walked outside, the snow under his feet crunching under his feet.

"Super Meow Meow?" Anjie called out from the alley entrance.

"Meow~"

Just then, Super Meowth hurriedly emerged from the corner of the wall not far away, vaguely carrying something in its arms.

Anjie breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it. "Where did you go?" she asked, then looked at the thing in its arms and asked, "What are you holding in your arms...?"

"Meow~ Meow~"

Superman quickly lifted the little guy in his arms, and Anjie then saw that it was a tiny Meow Meow. He was surprised and asked, "Where did you come from?" He took the Meow Meow from Superman's Meow Meow.

Miao Miao was ice-cold and had lost consciousness. Anjie quickly put him inside his clothes, not caring that he was still wet.

"Meow~ Meow~"

The Super Meow Meow tried its best to explain, and although Anjie couldn't understand it, he still guessed what it meant.

"Did you pick up Meow Meow?"

The Super Cat nodded vigorously.

Seeing the worried look on Meowth's face, Anja said, "Don't worry. I'll take it to the Pokémon Center right away. With Nurse Joy there, it'll be fine."

The Super Meowth nodded and indicated that it wanted to go along.

"Then let's go quickly." With that, Ange bent down and picked up Ralts again.

They rushed to the Pokémon Center as quickly as possible.

Unbeknownst to Ange, as soon as they left, a shadow appeared on the ceiling of Munchlax's house. A Haunter floated out from inside.

As usual, it used its superpowers to clean the hall, arrange the tables and chairs neatly, and then went to the kitchen to wash and scrub.

After doing all this, it went to the trash can full of anticipation, stuck its head in and rummaged around, but no matter how much it rummaged around, it couldn't find a single discarded bun or steamed bread inside.

It suddenly pulled its head out of the trash can, its face full of dejection.

(ó﹏ò)

Disappointed, Gastly disappeared back into the wall.

On Anjie's side.

Because of the heavy snow, there weren't many people at the Pokémon Center when Ange arrived.

Upon seeing Anjie, Miss Joey exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness Anjie? What brings you here?" and then came forward to greet him.

Thanks to the royal family's extensive publicity, there are now very few people in Azot who don't know Ange.

Anjie quickly took the kitten out of her clothes. "Miss Joey, come and see this kitten."

Miss Joy's expression immediately turned serious. She took Meowth from Ange and called Chansey over, "Your Highness, please rest assured and leave it to me. Please wait a moment." With that, she hurriedly left with Meowth.

Anjax, Ralts, and Meowth found a place to sit in the Pokémon Center lobby.

Ralts, perched on Ange's shoulder, tugged at Ange's hair, its little face scrunched up. "Ralts~ Ralts~" Ange, it'll be alright, right?

Seeing its worried expression, Anjie knew it was concerned about Meowth, so he patted its mushroom head and said, "Don't worry, Miss Joy is a very skilled healer." He then patted the worried Meowth again, "Don't worry."

The Super Meowth nodded.

About half an hour later, Miss Joy came out with Chansey. Angie quickly went up to her and asked, "Miss Joy, how was it?"

Miss Joy replied with a smile, "Don't worry, it's alright. Miao Miao just fainted from hunger and got cold, but she's out of danger now. With some extra nutrition, she'll recover quickly."

"That's good." Anjie breathed a sigh of relief. "Can we go take a look at it?"

Miss Joey nodded. "Of course, go ahead. It should wake up soon."

"Thank you, Miss Joey."

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

Anjie gently pushed open the door to the ward with Meowth and Ralts. Meowth had just opened its eyes and was about to get up when Meowth quickly ran over and tucked it back into the blankets, gently covering it up again.

"Meow~ Meow~"

After being scolded by Meowth, Meowth obediently lay down.

"Meow, are you hungry? Come on, have something to eat." Before coming in, Anjie went to the nearby Pokémon shop and bought some Pokémon cookies. He didn't have any food with him, so he had to buy some separately.

Super Meow Meow took the cookies Anjie bought and fed them to Meow Meow one by one. Meow Meow ate them in small bites, and although it ate quickly, its movements were elegant and very polite.

Because she was still very weak, Miaomiao fell into a deep sleep again after eating.

Mega Meowth patted Meowth's forehead, then turned around and gestured to Anjay, saying:

"Meow~ Meow~" Boss, can I take it home?

Anjie understood its meaning instantly.

"Of course, as long as you can take good care of it, you don't need to ask for my opinion," Anjie said.

Meowth bowed gratefully to Anjie, then took off his own padded jacket and wrapped it around Meowth.

"Then let's go home," Anjie said.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Anjie went to Miss Joey's to settle the bill first.

After paying the bill, Anjie turned to leave when Miss Joey suddenly called out to him.

"Your Highness, wait."

"What's wrong, Miss Joey?" Angie turned around in confusion.

Nurse Joy pulled a bag from under the table. "This is for you," she said, pushing the bag toward Angel. Inside, the bag was full of Pokémon food.

"This is..." Anjie looked at Miss Joey in surprise.

"It's for Meow Meow," Miss Joy winked playfully. "His Highness found it, didn't he?"

Anjie nodded.

"If Your Highness can do your part for it, why can't I?" Miss Joey asked with a smile.

"certainly."

Anjay picked up the bag of Pokémon food and gladly accepted Nurse Joy's kindness.

"Goodbye, Miss Joey," Angie waved.

Goodbye, Your Highness.

He then returned to the Nibel Plateau with the three Pokémon.
