Chapter 70 The Heavy Rain Arrives

In the afternoon, the Pokémon gathered in front of Angel's house and then went to cut down trees together. Raquel asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what are they going to do?"

Anjie replied, "Go cut down the tree."

"Cut down trees?" Raquel looked puzzled.

"Yes, after cutting down the ordinary trees, the land that's been cleared will be used to plant fruit trees. Would you like to go take a look?" Anjie asked with a smile.

Raquel nodded.

Anjie: "Then let's go."

As he spoke, he picked up Sobble and led Rachel and Slimy to the riverbank. As for Snorlax and Diancie, they had already set off with the other Pokémon.

Halfway there, the two saw the goats grazing. When they learned that Anjie and the others were going to the riverbank, two of them came over and offered to take them there.

Anjie said happily, "Then I'll leave it to you." With that, he nimbly climbed onto the back of his goat mount and patted its neck.

Raquel struggled for a long time but couldn't get onto the goat's back, and in the end, Fat Sweetie helped him up.

He scratched his head sheepishly, "How embarrassing."

Anjie laughed and said, "You really need to work out. A strong body is very important."

The two chatted as they made their way toward the riverbank.

Upon arriving at the shore of Lake Nibel, and seeing the neatly planted fruit trees along the way, Rakel asked with curiosity, "Your Highness, did you plant all of these?"

Anjie nodded. "The Pokémon from the plateau helped me plant them."

"Your Highness, you really have a great relationship with the Pokémon! That's amazing!" said Raquel.

Anjie: "Pokémon are very simple creatures. If you treat them well, they will definitely repay you many times over."

Raquel nodded silently.

The two soon arrived at the riverbank. Seeing the Pokémon working enthusiastically, even Raquel couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"We have work to do today too!" Angie said to Rachel.

Raquel asked, "What kind of work?"

Anjie: "Make a table!"

So, under Rakel's puzzled gaze, Ange directed the Mk Eagles and the others to carry the large tree stumps home one by one, and then he himself took Rakel home.

After arriving home, Angel told Raquel about her idea of ​​making tables and chairs for the Pokémon out of tree stumps, and Raquel immediately offered to help.

So the two of them, along with Tearful Lizard and Fat Sweetie, used tools to peel the bark off the tree stump and cut off the excess roots.

This is no easy task.

After shedding its skin, the teardrop lizard washes the dirty tree stump with water and then puts it in the square to dry.

Freshly dug tree stumps cannot be used directly to make tables and chairs; they must be dried first.

The two people and their two Pokémon were busy for half a day but still couldn't finish. In the evening, the palace guards came in a flying vehicle to pick up Rakel and take her home.

Rakel said goodbye to Ange with reluctance.

After Raquel left, Angel went to the fishing grounds and found Poliwag, telling it about her idea of ​​arranging accommodations for the Water-type Pokémon.

After hearing this, Poliwag fell into deep thought. Water-type Pokémon naturally also wanted a place to shelter from the wind and rain. In particular, Poliwag, Poliwag-kun, and Poliswimmer are all amphibious Pokémon. Although they swim in the water on weekdays, they do not live in the water like Magikarp or Goldeen. Therefore, windy and rainy weather is sometimes a problem for them.

But they don't like living in Anjie's staff dormitory either; they prefer to live in places with water.

At this moment, Anjie had a sudden idea and said, "How about... you stay on the fifth floor of the secret fortress? The water pipes for the fifth floor are in Lake Nibel, so you can travel between Lake Nibel and the fifth floor of the secret fortress through the water pipes. It's very convenient."

Upon hearing this, the Mosquito Coil Frog King's eyes lit up.

Yes! Isn't that the perfect place for Water-type Pokémon to live?

"Bo Nuo Luo~ Bo Nuo Luo~"

The Mosquito Coil Frog King immediately agreed.

Angel then told it the location of the fifth-level water inlet pipe in Lake Nibel. So Poliwag led the Water-type Pokémon one by one into the pipe entrance and surfed through the pipe like a slide with the water flow.

The Water-type Pokémon found it very fun, shouting and cheering inside the pipes.

Soon they reached the end of the pipe, and the Pokémon fell into the fifth-floor pool along with the water.

Thump~ thump~ thump~~

The sound of splashing water echoed one after another, accompanied by the cheerful laughter of the Pokémon. This startled the fish in the pond, who frantically swam towards the center of the pond.

Anjie took the elevator to the fifth floor and saw Pokémon splashing into the pool.

Mosquito Coil Tadpole, Mosquito Coil Guy, Mosquito Coil Swimmer, Luli Lily, Marill, Horned Goldfish, Goldfish King, Carp King, Ugly Fish, and Little Sawfish, they've all come.

After falling into the water, Mosquito Coil Tadpole, Mosquito Coil Swimmer, Mosquito Coil Guy, Marie and Luli Lily quickly climbed ashore and sat together on the bank, while the Horned Goldfish, Goldfish King, and Little Sawfish happily chased the fish in the pool.

As for Magikarp and Feebas...

Forget it, I'll stop relying on them. As long as it proves they're still alive, that's enough. I can't ask for too much.

Finally, the Mosquito Coil Frog King slid down the pipe into the fifth floor.

Once it was ashore, Anjie walked over to it and asked, "How are you? Is it alright staying here?"

"Bo Nuo Luo~ Bo Nuo Luo~"

The mosquito coil frog king kept clapping, indicating that it and everyone else were very satisfied with the place.

Tomorrow they can swim back to Lake Nebel to work through the pipe.

The water pipes on the five-layered walls are at different heights. Although the lower ones are not close to the ground, Pokémon can easily jump onto them, even the weak Feebas.

Then everyone can swim back with the current.

Although going against the current takes some effort, it can be considered a form of training.

After thinking for a moment, Anjie bought some driftwood of various sizes from the system store and put it into the pool.

Sure enough, the mosquito coil tadpoles really liked the whole driftwood. They jumped into the water one by one, then climbed onto the driftwood and floated around on it.

Anjie's idea of ​​putting driftwood in the pond was inspired by the lotus leaves in Lake Nibel, where mosquito tadpoles also liked to lie on the lotus leaves and sunbathe.

Mosquito Coil Frog King gave An Jie an appreciative look at his ingenious idea.

With Diancie absent, Angel couldn't communicate smoothly with the Pokémon, so he only stayed on the fifth floor for a short while before leaving.

After returning to the ground, Anjie went to the pond behind the house and told the mud loach and the catfish king that they could also move to the fifth floor of the secret fortress.

However, the two Pokémon refused.

Unlike the Poliwag, the Mudskipper and the King Catfish are Pokémon that live at the bottom of the water and like to burrow into the mud. Therefore, they feel that the environment of the fifth level of the Secret Fortress is not as good as the pond, where there is mud that allows them to burrow in and out at will.

However, the two Ubos agreed to move there.

Woop is also an amphibian Pokémon.

They can access Lake Nibel through the pond, and then go to the fifth level of the secret fortress through the water pipe.

The next afternoon, Anja was still dealing with the tree stumps, but he didn't expect that Rakel would also come today.

"Your Highness Anjie, look what I've brought you!"

Rakel excitedly disembarked from the aircraft. He was brought here by palace guards, and a strange-looking... robot came down with him.

Ange looked at the robot and asked, "Rakel, what is this...?"

Raquel explained, "I made this to help you with your work. Yesterday I felt our work efficiency was too low, so I went back and made this Robert No. 1!"

Ange then remembered that Raquel was also a mysterious scientist. He couldn't create artificial Pokémon like Magearna, but he could handle a robot.

"Is this robot called Robert 1?" Anjie asked, looking at the blank, metal lump in front of him.

Robert 1 has a round head and a round belly. It doesn't have legs; instead, it has two wheels with two tracks.

However, its two arms are very long and can extend and retract freely.

"Yes, Robert 1," Raquel said excitedly.

"Are there still Robert No. 2 and No. 3?" Angie asked.

"No." Raquel shook his head, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "I'm used to putting numbers after my inventions so it's easier to distinguish versions after later improvements."

"Okay." Anjie nodded; he didn't understand the inventor's business.

Raquel: "Your Highness, let me show you the power of Robert 1!"

Anjie said expectantly, "Okay!"

Upon hearing this, Raquel immediately gave the order: "Robert 1, peel off the bark from all the tree stumps over there, and cut off the excess roots!"

"OK."

Robert 1's eyes flashed blue twice, and it made a mechanical sound before quickly walking to the location of the pile of tree stumps.

To Ange's astonishment, its hand retracted into its wrist, and then two strange tools reappeared from its wrist.

As the machine began to operate, Robert 1 started working. Its tools peeled off the bark at lightning speed and neatly chopped off the excess roots, leaving Ange speechless with astonishment.

Angie couldn't help but exclaim, "Rachel, Robert 1 is amazing!!"

Rachel blushed and said, "It's just a simple work robot; it's not difficult to sit down."

Not difficult? Anjie didn't think so.

The tree stumps that Ange and Lacker struggled to remove yesterday were all cleared away by Robert No. 1 in just a few hours today.

"Your Highness, Robert 1 can stay here and help you. It can also do some simple housework. When I become more capable in the future, I will help you improve it," Raquel said.

Angie said happily, "Then I won't stand on ceremony! Rakel is already amazing." He sincerely praised her, "You'll definitely become even more amazing in the future!"

Laquere was so embarrassed by the praise that she felt embarrassed.

That evening, Angel invited Raquel to stay for dinner at her house, and it was the first time Raquel had ever seen so many Pokémon eating together at Angel's house.

He was deeply shocked.

Is this the true meaning of harmonious coexistence between humans and Pokémon?

What Angie didn't know was that what Rakel witnessed today had planted a wonderful seed in his young heart.

Before nightfall, the royal guards came again in a flying vehicle to pick up Rakel, and Ange's family gained a new member.

Robert 1.

Both the Snorlax and Sobble were very interested in this hard metal lump. After dinner, they kept circling around it and would touch it every now and then.

Robert 1 isn't particularly intelligent; when Snorlax and Sobble touch it, it just stands there motionless.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the tree stumps were almost dry. Anjie then planned to make them into tables and benches.

In addition, Anjie dried the wood and stored it in the warehouse so that it could be retrieved whenever needed.

When Ange returned from the capital city of Azot that day, he noticed the sky over the Nibel Plateau was overcast and frowned. "Could it be going to rain?"

At this moment, Diancie walked to his side, also looking up at the sky, and said, "It seems so."

"It's probably going to be difficult to work today," Anjie muttered to herself.

He then took some oilcloth and, together with Diancie and Snorlax, covered the tree stump, otherwise all those days of drying would have been for nothing.

Sure enough, around three or four in the afternoon, a sudden downpour began, but thankfully there was no wind.

Raindrops splashed across the calm surface of Lake Nebel, a few Poliwags dutifully guarded the fishing grounds, while most of the other Water-type Pokémon returned to the secret fortress via the pipes.

The Pokémon that were cutting down trees outside also rushed back in a panic, and all took shelter under the eaves of Angel's house to avoid the rain.

Before long, the eaves of Anjai's house were filled with Pokémon, chattering excitedly about the sudden downpour.

Because of the heavy rain, they couldn't work, so the Pokémon lay under the eaves of Angel's house chatting. Seeing this, Angel and Sobble went back to the kitchen and made a pot of fish soup, adding extra ginger to it.

Under Ange's orders, Robert 1 brought out towels and let the wet Pokémon dry off, especially Swablu and the two Altaria.

They looked so pathetic after getting soaked.

Soon, Angel and the Munchlax brought over a bowl of hot fish soup. After eating the soup, the Pokémon instantly felt warm all over.

Halfway through their fish soup, the Pokémon suddenly exclaimed in surprise as a blue and white light appeared among them.

It's the Detective Mouse; it's evolved.

In the light, the Detective Mouse's body continued to grow taller and taller, becoming more and more slender, and soon it was about the same height as the Sentry Mouse.

When the light faded, another sentry rat appeared before them.

The newly evolved sentinel looked at its hands and then at its feet, and then excitedly hugged another sentinel. The two sentinels jumped and danced, celebrating the arrival of their evolution.

Seeing this, everyone congratulated the Sentinel Mouse.
