Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 71 The Call of Kodora

When Anjie came out and learned that the Explorer Mouse had evolved, he also congratulated it.

Anjie stood at the door, looking at the heavy rain outside, and thought: This rain probably won't stop anytime soon.

So he said to the Pokémon, "None of you should go back today. Stay in the staff quarters at the secret fortress."

Anyway, the staff dormitory was originally intended for these Pokémon to live in.

So he thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you just move into the staff dormitory? You won't have to move out later."

The Pokémon hesitated after hearing this. They were only temporary workers at Ange's house, so was it too much of an advantage for Ange to move into the staff dormitory?

Seeing their hesitant expressions, Anjie said, "I'll definitely arrange jobs for everyone in the future. You're just moving in early now. Anyway, the staff dormitory is empty, so moving in early isn't a big deal. You can always repay me by working harder in the future!"

Upon hearing Ange's words, the Pokémon cheered. In fact, they had long been extremely envious of the Gardevoir family and the Psychic Bulbasaur!

Angel then put raincoats on the Pokémon and took them to the second floor via the elevator.

Upon arriving at the staff dormitory, the Pokémon enthusiastically began choosing their rooms.

The Big Eater family has five members, so they chose a relatively large room.

The Swabbit family and the Flycatcher family, being Flying-type Pokémon, have more difficulty entering and exiting than other Pokémon. Therefore, they each chose a room with an entrance on the roof, through which they can usually enter and exit the room.

Moreover, the room has a simple interior structure. In addition to nests for birds to sleep in, there are also horizontal beams on which the blue-winged birds and rocket birds can play.

Needless to say, this house was specially designed for bird-shaped Pokémon to live in.

The butterflies and their companions also chose rooms with entrances and exits on the roof, but their rooms were smaller and the interior furnishings were simpler.

The room is filled with many shelves topped with trays shaped like leaves and flowers, where the butterflies can perch and sleep or rest.

This room was probably designed specifically for butterfly-type or bee-type Pokémon.

Although the raven leader was single and had no dark raven minions, it still chose a large room; it simply liked living in big places.

The two sentinel mice naturally had to live together, and they chose a cozy little house.

The sand hippopotamus and hippopotamus chose a room with a pool, which they plan to fill with soft sand later so they can comfortably lie down and sleep.

Cocodora and Screw Mole chose to live together because, considering that they would grow larger in size as they evolved, Ange suggested that they choose a large house.

Curly Ears, Pachirisu, and Digger Rabbit chose to stay together, so they could keep each other company, since living alone would be too lonely.

They had also invited Flower Leafy to join them, but Flower Leafy declined, preferring to live alone to maintain its privacy.

The Four Seasons Deer made the same choice; it's very comfortable to live alone in a room, and it doesn't want to live with anyone else.

The Red Fox, Greninja, and Bricaron chose to remain neighbors, living in the same place they had lived before.

Both the Fiery Fox and Greninja live alone, while only Bricaron lives with his child, Fat Hari.

Fat Hari is the child of Bricaron and a riding goat. However, the riding goat lives with the herd, so the couple lives separately and rarely sees each other.

……

After the Pokémon had chosen their homes, Angel used his Happiness Points to buy them some household items and furniture, which completely depleted his already meager Happiness Points.

However, what is taken from the people should be used for the people.

Looking at the Pokémon's happy and contented smiles, and the affection in their eyes as they looked at him, he felt that everything was worthwhile.

He couldn't make all the Pokémon in the world live well, but he felt it was meaningful to do what he could to help the Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau live happy lives.

After telling the Pokémon to get some rest, Angela left the secret fortress.

Tonight, we won't eat out for dinner. Anjie gave them all Pokémon food so they can eat in their rooms, saving them the trouble of running around in the heavy rain.

After leaving the secret fortress, Anjie jogged home wearing a raincoat.

As he was running, he suddenly seemed to hear the cry of a Pokémon.

"Kora~ Kora~"

Anjie subconsciously stopped and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The heavy rain filled the air with a misty vapor, making it difficult for him to see very far. He could barely hear the Pokémon's call.

illusion?

Despite thinking this, Anjie still walked in that direction until she reached the wall.

As he got closer, he finally saw the Pokémon standing outside the wall clearly – it was a Cthulhu!

Kodora is the evolved form of Kodora. There is only one Kodora on the Conibel Plateau, and there is no other Kodora.

The crucial point is that Kodora has a soaking wet person in her mouth, who appears to be unconscious.

Upon seeing Angel, Kodora quickly put the person in her mouth on the ground and then anxiously asked Angel for help.

"Kora~ Kora~"

Anjie quickly climbed over the wall, nimbly picked up the man, and said to Kodora, "Kodora, come with me."

"Kora~ Kora~"

Kodora nodded repeatedly, following Ange with heavy steps.

As soon as they got home, Anjay called out into the house, "Snorlax! Snorlax!"

"Gang~ Gang~"

The little Snorlax darted out of the kitchen on its short legs. It had already started preparing dinner. Diancie was picking vegetables for it, and Sobble was washing them.

Anjie: "Could you please take care of Kodora? Get a towel to dry it off, and prepare some bath sand for it to take a bath."

Like Diancie, Kodora needs bath sand to take a bath. It's all wet right now, which must be very uncomfortable for a Rock-type Pokémon.

The little Snorlax looked at the unfamiliar Cthulhu, and although it was puzzled, it still obediently followed Ange's instructions and got busy.

Then Ange looked at the worried-looking Cordora and said to it, "Don't worry, your trainer will be fine."

After saying that, he carried the unconscious person to the second floor, took him into a guest room, filled a tub with hot water in the bathroom, and put him in.

Soaking in hot water, the chill gradually dissipated, and the man slowly woke up. He had short blue hair, which was soaked and stuck tightly to his face, making it impossible to see his features.

"Where is this...?" he asked, puzzled.

Anjie smiled and said to him, "It's my house. Your Kodora brought you to my doorstep for help, so I carried you back."

The man suddenly realized and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Anjie pointed to the clothes by the door and said, "Those are my clothes, they're new. Change into them after you shower. We can talk after you're done showering. I'm going out now."

The man nodded, then watched Anjie leave and closed the bathroom door.

When Anjie returned downstairs, she saw Snorlax giving Adolphin a bath. It had prepared a large basin, filled it with bath sand, and buried half of Adolphin's body in it.

"Kora~ Kora~"

Upon seeing Anjie emerge, Kodora quickly called out twice.

"Don't worry, your trainer is awake and will come down after taking a shower," Anjie said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Kodora visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Kodora's trainer came downstairs after taking a shower. When Anjay saw him looking refreshed after his shower, he was stunned. He hadn't expected him to be such a handsome guy, second only to himself in terms of looks.

His height and build were similar to An Jie's, so An Jie's clothes fit him fairly well, but... why did this person look so familiar...?

The man walked up to Anjie and sincerely thanked her, "Thank you so much for taking me in, otherwise I would have frozen to death outside!"

This person came from the mountains in the northwest of the Nibel Plateau. He got lost and ran out of supplies, which is why he was in such a sorry state.

It's freezing cold outside right now, and running out of supplies in the wilderness could be a fatal thing.

I thought I could escape the cold by coming to the Nibel Plateau, but it turns out it's raining here.

Moreover, it was already dark outside the sky. If it weren't for Ange living on the Nibel Plateau, they would have been in serious trouble.

"You're welcome. Everyone encounters troubles when traveling. I'm glad I could help you," Anjie said with a smile.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Daigo. May I ask your name, sir?" the trainer of Cthulhu introduced himself.

Upon hearing the name "Daigo," Ange was slightly taken aback. Goodness, no wonder he looked familiar; wasn't this the League Champion of the Hoenn region?

Blue hair, handsome looks, and Kodora... That matches up!

Ange: "My name is Ange Azot, you can just call me Ange."

"Azot?" Daigo paused slightly upon hearing Ange's surname. "I remember that's the surname of the royal family of the Kingdom of Azot."

Anjie laughed and said, "I'll consider myself a member of the Azot royal family for now."

Daigo looked suspicious. As far as he knew, the Azoth royal family only had a king, a princess, and a prince. This person in front of him didn't match up!

Suddenly, Daigo remembered a news article he had seen online not long ago, which said that the Azot royal family had welcomed back a member of the royal family from 500 years ago, who was also Queen Anna's brother. Could this be the person in front of him?

Although curious, Daigo didn't ask too many questions. After all, he and Ange had only just met, and it would be too presumptuous to ask too much.

Just then, Daigo's stomach suddenly growled. Instead of feeling embarrassed or awkward, he clutched his stomach and laughed, saying, "I haven't eaten anything all day."

Anjie: "If you don't mind, you can have dinner here."

Daigo quickly agreed, "Of course not, I won't stand on ceremony!"

"Oh, right!" Anjie seemed to remember something. He got up and walked to the table. Soon he brought a cup of hot water and some pills. "Take these pills first. You've been outside in the cold for so long and then got caught in the rain. You'll get sick if you don't take your medicine."

Daigo gratefully accepted the medicine and water, swallowed it in one gulp, and then said gratefully to Ange, "Thank you so much, you've thought of everything."

An Jie waved her hand and said, "No need to thank me, it's nothing."

The two then started chatting, and Steven took over the task of bathing Adolphin, while Munchlax went back to the kitchen to help.

While giving Adorata a bath, Daigo exclaimed in amazement, "This bath sand is of really good quality! Where did you buy it?"

Anjie: "Exclusively supplied, you can't buy it anywhere else."

Daigo looked regretful. "That's a real shame. I wanted to buy some more."

Anjie: "If you like, I'll send you some later."

Daigo's face lit up with surprise. "Really? Then I won't hold back!"

Just then, Diancie came out of the kitchen carrying the food. "Dinner's ready!"

The moment Daigo saw Diancie, he was stunned. His eyes widened and burst with surprise.

He was immediately drawn to the dazzling diamonds on Diancie's body. The sparkling pink diamonds were like the only stars in the night sky, dazzling and captivating, firmly grabbing his attention and drawing his gaze.

How can there be such beautiful Pokémon in this world?!

"This is...this is...the legendary Pokémon, Diancie?"

Others may not recognize this Pokémon that exists only in legends, but Steven, a rock fanatic, had long ago read about this mysterious Pokémon in ancient documents.

Diancie's heart skipped a beat under Daigo's burning gaze. She thought to herself: What's wrong with this guy? He's so rude!

Angie nodded and replied, "That's right, it's Diancie."

"I heard that Diancie is a mutant of Little Diamond, is that true?" Daigo asked with great interest.

Anjie nodded. "That's right, my Tianxi used to be a little diamond."

Upon hearing this, Daigo's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Ange's hand excitedly, saying:

"Mr. Anjie, please tell me how to cultivate Diancie. I'll do anything if you're willing to tell me."

Anjie: ...

"The first step is to sleep for five hundred years with Little Diamond," Anjie replied seriously.

Daigo was taken aback. "Seriously?"

Anjie nodded, "It couldn't be more real."

Daigo's face immediately showed disappointment, and he let out a long sigh. "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

However, from the conversation just now, he was convinced that the person in front of him was the prince of the Kingdom of Azot from five hundred years ago.

Otherwise, who has the ability to sleep with a Pokémon for five hundred years?

"Alright, let's eat," Ange said to Daigo.

As dish after dish was served, Daigo's eyes dazzled. "These dishes are..." He had never seen any of them before.

And...it smells so good!

Perhaps it was because he was too hungry, but he found the food too delicious, and his mouth was constantly watering.

Anjie explained, "These were all made by my little Snorlax and Sobble."

"Gang~"

The Snorlax sitting opposite Steven waved to greet him.

"Meow~"

The tearful lizard proudly raised its chin.

Daigo looked at the two Pokémon in surprise. He hadn't expected them to have this ability. Even though they hadn't eaten yet, just by smelling the aroma and looking at the color, he knew that this meal wouldn't be bad.

And that was indeed the case. After tasting the braised fish made by Munchlax, he was so amazed that he shed tears.

It's so delicious! It's so delicious! What will he do if he can't eat it anymore?

"Can I take your Snorlax and Sobble home?" Daigo asked, wiping his eyes.

Of course, he was joking; he was simply praising the two Pokémon for their excellent cooking skills.

However, the little Snorlax took it seriously and nervously grabbed Angel's arm.

"Gang~ Gang~" No, don't even think about it, I want to stay with Master for the rest of my life!

As it spoke, a hint of hostility appeared in its gaze toward Daigo: You've really eaten me for nothing, I'm someone you can't have.

Anjie chuckled, patting the back of its paw and saying, "They're just complimenting you, they don't really want to take you away. With me here, no one can take you away!"

The little Snorlax finally breathed a sigh of relief, then frantically shoveled rice into its bowl to calm itself down.

Sobble, on the other hand, puffed out its little chest even more when it heard Daigo's words, and its mouth stretched almost to the back of its ears.

I'm awesome! The best!
