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

Chapter 74 comes with its own seasoning...

Wow!

Having just completed its evolution, the blue crocodile was still a little dazed until it raised its hand and saw its different self, at which point it jumped and leaped excitedly.

"Wow! Wow!" I've evolved! I've evolved too!

The other Pokémon came forward to congratulate him upon seeing this.

Sobble, being a Water-type Pokémon as well, couldn't wait to squeeze in. It circled around the Blue Crocodile, occasionally reaching out to touch it, its eyes full of envy.

It also wants to become more handsome.

Compared to the small saw alligator, the majestic blue alligator is indeed more handsome.

Anjie also squeezed in to join the fun, looking at the blue crocodile with curiosity.

Compared to the petite saw alligator, the blue alligator is much larger and more robust; Angie estimated it to be at least 1.5 meters tall.

He couldn't resist reaching out to touch the blue crocodile and found that its skin was much harder and rougher than when it was a baby saw-crocodile. The muscles on its arms, thighs, and tail were very strong, giving it a powerful and reassuring appearance.

After evolving, the blue crocodile became much more composed. Anjie touched this and that on its body, and it didn't get angry at all. If it were the old crocodile, it would probably have jumped up and bit Anjie's hand by now.

Just as Ange was marveling at the transformation of the blue crocodile, a sudden blue and white light shone out, causing the Pokémon to gasp in surprise. Ange turned his head and saw that what was enveloped in the light of evolution was... Sobble?

That's right! When Sobble first came to Ange's side, its level was already close to the point where it could evolve. Now that it has been with Ange for so long, it has actually been at the point where it can evolve for a long time.

In the light, the originally small Sobble grew taller rapidly, its legs and arms became longer, and its tail became stronger and more powerful. In the blink of an eye, it was taller than a small Snorlax.

When the light faded, a brand new Pokémon appeared before Angel and his friends. This was Sobble's evolved form – Lizard.

Compared to the teardrop lizard, the bleached lizard's bright light blue skin has disappeared, replaced by a slightly dull dark blue; its big, watery, and endearing eyes are gone, replaced by a pair of droopy eyes that look listless, one of which is even covered by its drooping crest.

This look... has the vibe of a decadent young man.

However, in Anjie's eyes, even the lizard-like creatures are just as cute.

Under current observation, the data for the mutated lizard is as follows:

"Chirp?"

The Lizard never expected to evolve so suddenly. It raised its hand to look at itself, then raised its foot to look at itself, and then excitedly ran out of the Pokémon's encirclement.

"You lizard, where are you going!" Angie shouted.

"Chirp~ Chirp~" I'm going to check if I've become more handsome!

The voice of the lizard that had disappeared around the corner of the stairs could be heard.

"What did it say?" Angie asked Tianxi.

Tianxi covered her mouth and laughed, "It said it's going to see if it's become handsome."

Anjie was both amused and exasperated. "Even if it evolves, it will still be the same as before."

However, just as Anjie finished speaking, a terrifying scream came from upstairs, startling everyone. A short while later, Tearful Lizard came downstairs dejectedly, holding a mirror the size of a palm in his hand.

It walked over to Anjie, hugged her tightly, and buried its head in Anjie's belly.

Anjie patted the back of its head. "What's wrong? Turned into a lizard? Aren't you happy about evolving?"

"Chirp~ Chirp~" This isn't me, it's so ugly!

The lizard raised its head, pointed at its reflection in the mirror, and cried out.

Anjie patted its head and said sternly, "Nonsense, how can you say it's not handsome anymore? I think it's just as handsome now!"

"What?" Really?

Tears welled in the eyes of the lizard.

"Of course! You can ask Munchlax if you don't believe me," Ange said with absolute certainty.

The little Snorlax immediately understood, and it gave the Lizard a thumbs up, "G-G-G-!" That's right, so cool!

The lizard looked at the little Munchlax and realized that it was actually a little taller than the little Munchlax. Before, it had to look up at the little Munchlax.

This gave it a boost of confidence.

The Lizard then looked at the other Pokémon.

Tianxi said gently, "You haven't gotten uglier, really, you're very handsome!"

Super Cat: "Meow~" So cool!

Gallade also said in a serious tone, "Gall~ Gall~" Cool, very cool!

Gallade's praise finally brought a smile to Lizard's face. It had always thought Gallade was handsome, and since Gallade said it was handsome, it must really be handsome!

Thinking of this, the lizard's tears turned into laughter.

Seeing that the lizard had regained its spirits, Anjie breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Anjay got up early as usual and then prepared the materials needed for the day with Munchlax and Lizard.

After evolving, the work became much easier for the Lizard. It no longer needed to use water jets to support its body to reach the stove. Now it could simply stand on a small stool like a Snorlax, which made it very happy.

Just as Anjie and his team had prepared the materials and were ready to leave, Tianxi came over and said, "Anjie, the system has given us a mission!"

It's finally here!

An Jie's eyes lit up upon hearing this. The system hadn't issued any tasks for a while, and he was quite unaccustomed to it, since no tasks meant no rewards!

"Quickly show me what kind of mission it is," Anjie said impatiently.

Tianxi nodded, and a pop-up window immediately appeared in front of Anjie.

[Arrest Mission] Catch the thieves who destroyed the vegetable garden and punish them by replanting the ruined scallions. Accept the mission?

Be

no

Of course he accepted it! He had originally planned to catch the thief anyway, and he would punish him for pulling up so many green onions!

It wouldn't be a waste to pluck it; you could eat it, but not only does it not eat it, it also leaves it everywhere.

Absolutely despicable!

After accepting the mission, Anjie made a point of visiting the vegetable garden before heading to the capital of Azot.

At this moment, the three Diglett brothers were hiding in the shadows of the vegetable patch, vigilantly observing everything around them. In addition, hidden in the shadows were the Blue Crocodile, which had just evolved yesterday, and Bricaron's child, Fatty Harley.

These two were the helpers that Anjie found for the three gopher brothers.

Ange walked over to the four Pokémon and said, "I'm leaving the task of catching the thief to you. You must catch it!"

"Diggle~"

"Diggle~"

Wow!

"Libo~"

The four Pokémon gave their confident assurances.

After giving a few instructions, Anjie went to work, while the four Pokémon remained motionless, hiding in the vegetable seedlings.

As time went by, the sun quickly rose to the center of the sky, but the so-called vegetable thief still hadn't appeared. Blue Crocodile felt its eyes were getting dry from staring so long that it couldn't help but rub them.

rustling sounds~~

Suddenly, Fatty Harley seemed to hear something. It quietly made a gesture, and the four Pokémon gently parted the vegetable leaves. Sure enough, something seemed to appear on the other side of the wall.

"Kama~"

"Kama~"

Two duck Pokémon sneakily scaled the wall, then darted into the vegetable garden as two blurry figures, heading straight for the patch of scallions planted with thick branches.

As soon as they entered the vegetable garden, they each pulled up a scallion and swung it around. After a few swings, they seemed very dissatisfied, so they threw the scallions on the ground and then each pulled up another one and waved it vigorously.

Seeing this, the three gopher brothers were furious. These were the green onions they had worked so hard to grow, and now they were being ruined.

The four Pokémon hidden in the shadows exchanged glances, then quietly moved under the cover of the vegetables, eventually surrounding the vegetable patch planted with large green onions from four directions.

"Diggle~" Stop, thief!

"Diggle~" You vegetable thief, watch how I deal with you!

Seeing that the time was right, four Pokémon suddenly jumped out and surrounded the two duck Pokémon.

Startled, the two duck Pokémon grabbed the green onions they were carrying, flapped their wings, and flew up, clearing the wall in the blink of an eye.

Damn it! It can fly!

How could the three gophers let the vegetable thief get away? They ducked into the ground and chased after him.

Blue Crocodile and Fatty Harley were not to be outdone, nimbly vaulting over the wall and following closely behind.

The two vegetable thieves ran incredibly fast, even managing to glide briefly by flapping their wings. As they ran further and further away, the two ground squirrels cried out in frustration.

At that moment, two vine whips shot out rapidly, binding the feet of a duck Pokémon in the blink of an eye and pulling it down from mid-air.

Another duck Pokémon saw its companion fall and looked anxious. Just then, a water gun shot out and knocked it down from the sky as well.

Upon seeing this, the three gopher brothers, the blue crocodile, and Fatty Harry immediately surrounded them.

The two duck Pokémon, realizing there was no hope of escape, looked at each other, waved their green onions, and assumed a fighting stance.

The first to make a move was the Blue Crocodile, which leaped to the side of one of the duck Pokémon and used its bite move to bite it.

However, the Pokémon was much more agile than Crocodile had imagined. It easily dodged Crocodile's attack with a quick dodge, then swiftly swung its leek, the tip of which flashed white light, and slashed at Crocodile several times in succession, sending Crocodile flying.

It uses the Bug-type combo attack.

The other duck Pokémon was not to be outdone. It vanished from its spot in a flash, wielding a green onion and slashing at the chubby Harley. It used the Fighting-type move Rock Smash.

Of course, Fatty Hali wouldn't just sit and wait to die. It let out a loud cry, and two vine whips stretched out, binding the scallion opposite it, preventing it from cutting it down.

The two gophers were furious. They were clearly thieves, so how dare they attack them?

The two Dugtrios shrank back into their burrows, and when they reappeared, they were already at the feet of the two Duck Pokémon.

The two duck Pokémon were completely focused on Crocodile and Fathead, and had no idea what was under their feet.

Three beams of light—red, yellow, and blue—sparked from the three heads of the two Dugtrios and then shot towards the two Duck Pokémon.

"Kama~"

"Kama~"

Caught off guard, the two Pokémon were knocked away.

The three gopher brothers were quite lucky; all three of their attacks triggered additional effects: the older brother's attack caused burning, and the younger brother's attack caused freezing.

The scorched duck Pokémon's face was contorted in pain.

The duck Pokémon with its feet frozen was very decisive. It picked up a green onion and chopped it down on its own feet, instantly shattering the ice and regaining its freedom.

Of course, it also used too much force, causing its own leg to go numb.

The two duck Pokémon exchanged a glance, then charged toward the Dugtrio brothers in perfect unison, raising their green onions and using Leaf Blade to slash at the Dugtrio's heads.

Diglett are not so easy to hit; they are incredibly fast runners, disappearing into their burrows with a quick tuck of their heads.

Bang!

Bang!

With two loud bangs, the leaf blades cleaved through the air, leaving two deep furrows in the grass, carved out by the two duck Pokémon.

At this moment, Blue Crocodile and Fatty Harley seized the opportunity to launch an attack on them.

Blue Crocodile, enveloped in water, transformed into a water column and crashed into one of the duck Pokémon; Fatty Harley opened its mouth and spat out seeds that shimmered with green light, shooting them at another duck Pokémon.

One of the two duck Pokémon was knocked to the ground by a water jet, and the other was knocked to the ground by a seed bomb.

They wanted to continue fighting, but suddenly found that the grass beneath their feet had turned into a sandy area, and the sand was constantly sinking, creating a suction force that made it impossible for them to move their feet.

It turns out that the three gopher brothers took advantage of the situation and used the quicksand abyss.

The two duck Pokémon flapped their wings vigorously, trying to break free from the shackles of the quicksand abyss, but it was no easy feat! They only felt themselves sinking deeper and deeper.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Crocodile and Fatty launched an attack, one using Ice Fang and the other using Seed Bomb. This time, the two duck Pokémon were finally unable to battle.

Seeing the two unconscious duck Pokémon, the four Pokémon breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, they had caught them; these two little thieves were a bit troublesome.

Fatty Harley and Blue Crocodile stepped forward, picked up the two unconscious duck Pokémon, and walked step by step toward Angie's house.

When Anjie returned from Azoth City at noon, he saw a scene of four Pokémon—the Dugtrio brothers, Crocodile, and Fat Hallow—staring at two tied-up Farfetch'd.

"Are those two the vegetable thieves?" Anjie asked.

The three gopher brothers, the blue crocodile, and Fatty Harley all nodded in agreement, especially the three gopher brothers, who angrily described the horrors of the two farfalle ducks to Anjai.

Although Anjie didn't understand a word.

He thought to himself: No wonder the system's task was for the vegetable thief to help grow green onions.

He remembered that when he first got the thick scallion, the system explained that this kind of scallion would taste better if it was grown with the help of the scallion duck!

Anjie circled the two Farfetch'd ducks twice and realized that they were not ordinary Farfetch'd ducks. Ordinary Farfetch'd ducks have yellowish-brown feathers, but these two Farfetch'd ducks had blackish-brown feathers.

Moreover, their eyes are noticeably sharper, giving them a cool vibe.

So this is Farfetch'd in Galar form?

With increasingly convenient transportation and more frequent communication between regions, it's not surprising that a region might have Pokémon unique to another region.

Why are you destroying my vegetable garden?

As Ange asked the questions, he used his Observational Eye to look at the data of the two Pokémon.
