Chapter 80 The Banquet

"Do you two know me?" An Jie asked, looking surprised.

Dr. Orin said, "We are currently guests at the Azot Palace and have heard some rumors about His Highness."

"So that's how it is." Anjie chuckled.

The rumors about him are nothing more than that he has been asleep for five hundred years and is Queen Anna's brother.

He suddenly realized that when Ji Meiya mentioned that Azot and Padia's research teams were collaborating, she was referring to Dr. Orin and Dr. Futu!

Dr. Orin asked, "Is Your Highness also attending tomorrow's banquet?"

Anjie nodded. "That's right, we came to buy a dress on short notice."

Dr. Futu laughed and said, "What a coincidence, our family is too."

Dr. Orin had a lot to say to Ange, but considering they would be attending the banquet together and there would be plenty of opportunities later, she glanced at Diancie and said:

"Your Highness, then let's meet at the banquet tomorrow night."

Anjie nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow night. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Dr. Futu: "It's also a pleasure to meet Your Highness."

Anjie then separated from the doctor's family.

After returning home, Anjie and the others put the clothes they bought back in their rooms and then began their work for the afternoon.

He and Tianxi went to the riverbank first. The peach and orange trees were planted yesterday, and today they were going to plant berry and cherry trees.

After distributing the fruit tree seedlings he had bought in advance to the Pokémon, Ange planned to take Munchlax and Lizard home.

Seeing Meowth helping everyone from afar, Anjie waved to it and shouted, "Meowth!!!"

The Super Meowth turned around in confusion.

"Can you help me out?" Anjie continued to shout.

Super Meowth nodded and ran quickly toward Anjie. Meowth followed closely behind, as they were always inseparable.

When the two Pokémon ran up to Ange, he said to them, "I need to build houses for my Mount Goat and Mount Lamb. Could you please help me?"

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

The two Pokémon nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go then."

Anjie took them back to the secret fortress, used the system backpack to put all the planks in the warehouse, and then took the planks to the two largest trees on the north side of the grassland.

Anjie and his goats have already agreed to build the cabin here.

After taking the planks out and piling them all aside, Anjie then asked the lizard to go to the vegetable garden and call the three gopher brothers over.

Building a house requires digging a foundation, something Angel can't do; it's better to have professionals (Pokémon) like the Dugtrio brothers do it.

After the three gopher brothers arrived, Anjie explained his request to them in detail, and then said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Diggle~"

"Diggle~"

The three gopher brothers nodded, and then followed Angie's instructions to burrow into the ground. The ground quickly rose up, and soon the foundation was dug out.

Anjay used her powers to retrieve a giant rock and smashed it against the foundation dug by the Diglett brothers.

This step is to lay a solid foundation.

Finally, Angel and Snorlax carried the planks into the foundation, hammering and nailing them in place.

Of course, the main force for doing the work was still Robert 1.

It wasn't until evening that Anjie and his team managed to build half of the wooden house, with the roof still not installed.

Fortunately, they had the help of Super Meow Meow and Meow Meow with their superpowers, otherwise Anja and his friends probably wouldn't have been able to finish even this little bit.

It's dinnertime.

The other Pokémon sat outside, eating around the table that Angel and his friends had made, their laughter and chatter filling the air.

Anjie's family of five sat in the house eating, chatting and laughing as usual.

As they were eating, Anjie suddenly noticed that Munchlax had put down its bowl. He asked in confusion, "Hmm? Munchlax, why are you only eating so little?" This is less than half of its usual amount of food!

"Gang~ Gang~" I need to lose weight.

The little Snorlax pinched the fat on its belly and said with a bitter face.

"Huh?" Anjie was stunned. Was losing weight really necessary for Munchlax? It was quite unbelievable that Munchlax would say that.

"Gang~ Gang~" I want to wear the same clothes as my master, but I don't want him to accommodate me.

The little Snorlax lowered its head, twisting two fingers together.

Although Munchlax is clumsy, it's not stupid. Anja bought it the same clothes as the Munchlax, and at first it was really happy. But after returning home, it gradually realized that its master was indulging it.

After Tianxi helped with the translation, Anjie felt a warm glow in her heart. One-sided giving can certainly be self-satisfying, but if there is mutual understanding, then that is a truly reasonable and normal relationship.

Anjie rubbed its head helplessly. "You... don't overthink it. I just like how soft and fluffy you are, so... eat as much as you want, don't worry about it."

There's no such thing as a bad thing for Snorlax to eat too much and get fat.

"Really?"

The little Snorlax looked at Angel in surprise.

"Of course," Anjie nodded. "If you really want to lose weight, how about we try other methods? Like exercise?"

The little Snorlax was even happier to hear that.

"G-G-G-G!" Exercise! Exercise!

Between dieting and exercise, Snorlax would definitely choose exercise without hesitation!

Anjie affectionately pinched its cheek, "Then let's set aside some time for exercise from now on."

It's always good to exercise more.

With Anja's encouragement, the little Snorlax picked up its bowl again and started eating heartily.

Seeing the satisfied look on the little Snorlax's face as it ate, Anjac unconsciously smiled.

Noticing that its master was watching it, the little Snorlax held its bowl, looked up at Anjie with a silly smile, and a grain of rice still clung to the corner of its mouth.

"You bastard..."

Anjie reluctantly removed the rice grains from Munchlax, which then continued to devour its food.

The next morning, Angel woke up earlier than usual and knocked on Munchlax's door.

"Mini Munchlax! Mini Munchlax!"

After calling out several times without getting a response from Munchlax, Anjay had no choice but to push the door open and go in. As soon as he entered, he heard its loud snoring.

The little Munchlax was lying sprawled on the ground, hugging a pillow just like the one Ange had, with half of the blanket on the bed and half on the floor.

Anjay went over and threw the blanket back onto the bed, then nudged Munchlax, "Mumplax, time to get up!"

"Gah~~~" Snorlax smacked its lips, rolled over forcefully, and hugged the pillow even tighter.

Anjay shouted, "Dinner's ready! There's braised fish!" Snorlax loves to eat fish.

"Gang~~" Fish? Braised fish? Where is braised fish?

The little Snorlax sat up nimbly, without even opening its eyes, its hands groping haphazardly in the air.

"Little Snorlax, didn't you say you wanted to exercise and lose weight with me?" Anja said.

"Yes! Lose weight!"

Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax's eyes snapped open, and it sprang up from the ground like a spring, clearly taking the matter to heart.

After washing up, Anjai and Munchlax left the room together.

Just then, the lizard also got up, so the group that went out for a run consisted of the master and his three disciples.

To make the training more effective, Ange specially bought weighted items to tie on herself and her two apprentices. Munchlax carried the heaviest weight, followed by Ange, and Lizard carried the lightest.

Anjie and his two apprentices weren't the only ones who got up early in the morning. Coco Dora, Screw Mole, Blue Crocodile, Fatty Hali, and two Farfetch'ds got up even earlier than Anjie and his group. Before dawn, they were already practicing their battles, and their shouts echoed across the open grassland!

"Good morning, everyone!" Angie waved to the Pokémon from afar.

"Coco~"

Wow!

……

Several Pokémon stopped what they were doing and greeted Ange and the others.

Seeing Ange and the others running, several Pokémon stopped battling and expressed their desire to join in. So Ange specially bought weighted items for them to wear.

Anyway, this thing is very cheap.

For a period of time afterward, Angel would take Snorlax and Ember Spirit for a run every morning, accompanied by Cocoyar and Diglett.

After a refreshing run, Anjie and his friends took a shower before starting another busy day.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. In the evening, Ange descended upon the palace gates on the raven leader. Then, she found a secluded corner and summoned Diancie, Snorlax, Lizard, and Komaru to her side.

At this moment, both Angel and the Pokémon were dressed up in their finest attire.

"Alright, let's go." Angie led the Pokémon toward the palace gate.

Upon seeing Anjie, the guards at the palace gate immediately bowed and greeted her, "Your Highness, are you well?"

Anjie smiled and nodded at them.

"Your Highness, over here!"

Just then, Anja saw Flamel jogging towards them.

"Flommel!" Angel waved to her.

Flamel was also dressed beautifully today. She ran to Ange's side, slightly out of breath, and said, "Your Highness, come with me."

Angie nodded and followed Flamel toward the direction where the banquet was being held.

Soon Anjie was led to a room where rows of maids stood, each carrying a stack of clothes.

"This is..." Angie asked, looking at Flamel.

Flamel: "Of course, it's your dress!"

Anjie: ...

So the royal family was prepared! Then why did he bother going to the clothing store? Besides, they spent ages getting ready at home before going out.

Well, it's all for nothing!

"Quickly, help His Highness change his clothes," Flamel said to the maids.

"Yes!" the maids answered in unison, and swarmed around Anja and the Pokémon.

It turns out that the royal family not only prepared Angel's dress, but also the Pokémon's. Even the Crow Chief was dressed up with some hastily prepared accessories by the maids.

Soon, Ange was changed into the Azot royal insignia suit: a white suit with light blue and light gold stripes, a blue bow tie, and white leather shoes.

The tree-pillow bear, Snorlax, and Ember Spirit were dressed almost identically to Ange, while Diancie wore a blue and white gauze dress and a light blue bow in her hair.

The raven's hat is adorned with a blue rose, it wears a blue bow tie around its neck, and its right ankle is adorned with two vintage anklets studded with gemstones, sparkling brightly, which it clearly adores.

Just as Anjie and the others finished changing their clothes, the door opened, and Rakel poked his head in. "Your Highness?"

"Rakel?" Angie exclaimed in surprise, "Come in quickly, did you come here especially to wait for me?"

Rachel nodded. "Yes, I would like to enter the venue with Your Highness."

Raquel wore a blue suit with white and light gold stripes and a white bow tie, the exact opposite of Anje's outfit.

The Azot royal family's clothing has always been limited to only three colors: blue, white, and gold.

Anjie: "Then let's go."

"Um."

Raquel and the Pokémon followed Angel, led by Flamel, to the banquet hall.

When Angie and Rachel arrived, the banquet hall was already packed with people: foreign guests, ministers, maids, waiters... all clinking glasses under the glittering lights.

Anjie's gaze swept around the banquet hall and quickly found Edward and Jimia, who were chatting with them.

Those two were none other than Dr. Orin and Dr. Fortu, whom Angie had met by chance yesterday.

Anjie glanced at the little Snorlax, who was already drooling over the table full of delicious food, so he patted it on the back of the head and said to the other Pokémon:

"You guys go do your own thing."

Upon hearing this, Snorlax and Ember Spirit cheered.

Anjie quickly instructed them, "Don't cause trouble, and don't run around."

"Gang~"

"Chirp~"

Snorlax and Lizard quickly agreed.

Anjie couldn't help but add, "Also, Munchlax, you need to be more careful when you eat. Don't eat all the food."

"Gang~~"

The little Snorlax scratched its head sheepishly.

Anjie patted the Komaru in the Snorlax's arms and said, "Komaru, could you please keep an eye on those two?"

Whether the tree-pillowed koala understood or not, it just rolled over in the little Snorlax's arms. Helpless, Ange asked the crow leader again.

The leader of the crows nodded confidently, assuring everyone that he would complete the mission.

After watching Munchlax and the others leave, Angel saw Himeya waving at him, so he walked over with Rakella and Diancie.

Dr. Orin and Dr. Fortu were very happy to see Angel.

Dr. Orin: "Your Highness Anger, we meet again, along with Diancie."

Diancie very politely lifted her skirt and bowed to Dr. Orin and Dr. Fortu.

"Ms. Orin, Mr. Fortu, greetings."

Upon seeing that Diancie could communicate telepathically, the two doctors exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing surprise.

"Good evening, Ms. Orin, Mr. Fortu, it's a pleasure to see you again," Ange greeted the two doctors.

Ji Meiya asked in surprise, "Doctors, do you know His Highness?"

Dr. Orin: "We met by chance in the royal city yesterday, and that's how we got to know each other."

Edward, standing to the side, laughed heartily and said, "Those two doctors really have a special connection with our Azot!"

Angie looked around at the two doctors with a puzzled expression and asked, "Isn't Pipa here?"

Dr. Orin smiled and pointed to a child sitting on a chair eating pastries not far away, saying, "Here he comes! Where is he?"

Following Dr. Orin's gaze, Angie saw Piper sitting listlessly in a chair, with the drowsy Mastiff Godfather lying at his feet.
