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

Chapter 82 What? You want to ask me for cooking lessons?

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Angel took out two items. He tossed one to Beedrill, a crystal with black and yellow spiral patterns; the other was a brooch inlaid with a stone that emitted a seven-colored light.

It's a Mega Stone and a Key Stone! Ange recognized the two items at a glance.

Edward chuckled and said, "Our Carlos region also has a special phenomenon. Today, I'd like to invite the two doctors to witness it."

"Beedrill, with the power of bonds, Mega Evolve!"

As Angel finished speaking, the Key Stone in his hand and the Mega Stone in Beedrill's hand simultaneously emitted a strong light.

Enveloped in light, Beedrill's appearance underwent a dramatic change. It became larger, its stingers on its arms and tail became sharper, and even its legs transformed into stingers.

Upon seeing this, not only did the students of Orange Academy gasp in surprise, but even Azot's side couldn't help but show astonishment.

Nate: "Electric Frog, rain!"

Angel: "Beedrill, Slash!"

After revealing their trump cards, the two trainers simultaneously issued commands to their Pokémon.

The electric frog shot a blue ball of light into the sky, and a dark cloud appeared instantly, followed by a light drizzle.

At the same time, Beedrill darted to a spot not far from the Electric Belly Frog, raised its twin stingers and slashed at the Frog, its speed increasing even further.

After Mega Evolution, Beedrill's ability becomes Adaptability, doubling the power of its STAB moves. Since it had previously used Slash repeatedly and successfully hit its opponent each time, the power of Slash would also double.

Therefore, the electric frog absolutely cannot withstand this attack!

Fortunately, Nate wasn't stupid and had prepared in advance. The Electric Belly Frog was blasted away, and although it was badly injured, it did not lose its ability to fight.

It turns out that it used the "hold on" technique at a crucial moment.

Nate: "Electric Frog, Thunder!"

Angel: "Beedrill, Pin Missile!"

The voices of the two trainers rang out simultaneously.

Boom!

A light drizzle fell on the field, accompanied by a clap of thunder, and a golden bolt of lightning descended from the sky, piercing through Beedrill.

Thunder is a sure thing in rainy weather, and Beedrill can't escape it no matter how fast it is.

The moment the Beedrill was hit, a barrage of green needles shot out, engulfing the Electric Belly Frog.

Once the moisture dissipated, both the giant bee and the electric frog collapsed unconscious in the field.

The referee announced, "Beedrill and Electric-bellied Frog are both unable to battle; the battle is a draw!"

Nate and Angel both snorted coldly and recalled their respective Pokémon.

After Nate and Angel's match, Orange Academy and Azot each had a few more matches, and Angel even saw a familiar face among the participants.

It was a girl. Anjie remembered that when he was still setting up a stall in Elifas Park, the girl would come to him every morning to buy steamed buns and mantou.

He later moved to the Snorlax House and never saw the girl again.

It's not that the girl wasn't coming, but Anjie was in the kitchen the whole time and didn't have time to check on the customers outside, so she didn't notice whether the girl came back or not.

After being introduced by Ji Meiya, Anjie learned that the girl's name was Mephisto, the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture, and also an elite of the Royal Trainer School.

Mephisto is indeed very strong. He defeated his opponent in no time with a Vaporeon, very cleanly and efficiently. Even though his opponent used Crystallize, it did not change the outcome.

Unbeknownst to Angel, his extra glances at Mephistopheles had incurred Angel's displeasure.

Just as An Jie was engrossed in watching the game, a bald, middle-aged man walked over with a smile.

"Your Highness Anjie, we meet again."

"You are..." Anjie pondered for a moment, "You are that..." the minister who said he would marry his daughter to him.

Jimmy whispered in Ange's ear, "He is the Minister of Agriculture, Mephistopheles' father."

An Jie was slightly taken aback. What a coincidence?

"Your Highness remembered me?" The Minister of Agriculture laughed even harder, looking at Mephisto in the arena. "Your Highness, isn't my daughter quite capable?"

Anjie nodded. "It's really good."

"Is she pretty?" the Agriculture Minister asked again.

"It's very beautiful too," Anjie answered honestly.

"Then my previous suggestion..." The Minister of Agriculture said with a smile, while rubbing his hands together.

"I refuse," Anjie said without hesitation.

"Huh? What happened?" The Minister of Agriculture looked dejected.

Seeing this, Ji Meiya covered her mouth and chuckled.

Dr. Orin, Dr. Fortu, and Nasir were puzzled, so Ji Meiya whispered a few words to them, and everyone started to suppress their laughter.

Seeing this, An Jie glared at Ji Meiya, who laughed even harder.

Not far away, Angel watched as Angel and the Minister of Agriculture chatted and laughed, and his face grew even uglier. He couldn't help but recall a rumor his father had told him.

The Minister of Agriculture intends to marry his daughter to His Highness Angie!

The battle program ended quickly, and Edward stepped forward and said loudly, "Although the battle performance is over, young trainers, please feel free to continue exchanging ideas and sparring if you wish."

After saying this, Edward planned to leave with the professor and the others. The professor also invited Angel and Diancie, who were eager to learn more about Diancie, a legendary Pokémon.

The young trainers gathered in twos and threes, exchanging experiences or continuing to battle, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, at that moment, Angel blocked Angel's way.

"Your Highness, may I ask you for guidance?"

Anjie didn't understand at first. What did he want to ask? Did he want to know how to cook?

Seeing that Anjie remained silent, Angel spoke again, "Your Highness, may I challenge you to a duel?"

Anjie finally understood.

Seeing his son so disrespectful to His Highness, the Finance Minister, who was not far away, quickly ran over to apologize, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, Angel was being disrespectful. I apologize on his behalf!"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull his son, but Angel was too stubborn, and the finance minister couldn't budge him at all.

"Your Highness, do you not dare?" Angel stared intently at Ange and asked.

"But I'm not a trainer!" Angie said helplessly.

He noticed that Angel's gaze kept glancing at Mephisto, and he immediately knew that this was a young man's beautiful crush. Then, recalling the Minister of Agriculture's words, he understood why Angel was doing this.

It's a misunderstanding!

As an ancient relic who has lived for five hundred years, Anjie felt that she shouldn't argue with a young person just beginning to experience love, so she wasn't angry.

"Is Your Highness a coward?" Angel used reverse psychology. His father, standing beside him, turned pale. "With foreign guests in front of you, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Snorlax pulled Piper through the crowd and overheard Angel's words.

Just as Ange was about to refuse Angel, Tianxi suddenly tugged at his sleeve, and a pop-up window appeared in front of Ange.

[Temporary Quest] Munchlax is furious after hearing its master being belittled and vows to teach the other party a lesson. Please help Munchlax fulfill its wish. Accept the quest?

Be

no

Anjie turned his head and looked around. Sure enough, he saw the little Snorlax with a furious expression not far away. Its cheeks were puffed up with anger.

"This guy!" Anjie couldn't help but smile.

Anja accepted the task casually and waved to Munchlax. Munchlax immediately ran to Anja's side with small steps, not forgetting to glare at Angel.

"Alright, let's have a spar. But I've never battled before, so please don't laugh at me if I lose." Angel pinched Munchlax's chubby ears. "Mumplax, could you please help me?"

"Gang~~"

The little Snorlax patted its chest with fighting spirit, staring intently at Angel with a defiant look in its eyes.

So you're the one who called my master a coward? Just you wait!

Surrounded by the crowd, Angel and Angel stood on either side of the battlefield, while Snorlax rubbed its hands together and walked into the arena.

Angel pulled out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of light, a Heracross appeared on the field.

Angel was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Angel was a trainer who specialized in Bug-type Pokémon?

As he pondered this, he used his Observational Eye to look at Heracross opposite him.

Anjie thought to herself: Although I don't have much combat experience, I shouldn't lose, right?

The referee announced, "The match begins!"

Angel led Heracross in a frenzied attack on the Snorlax.

"Heracross, Brick Break!"

Heracross spread its wings and pounced on the little Snorlax, while one of its arms glowed white.

Anja, not to be outdone, also commanded Munchlax, "Mumplax, use Seed Bomb!"

Hearing Angel's command, Angel couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Using Grass-type moves to attack Bug-type Pokémon? What an ignorant prince! I'm definitely the better one!

Thinking this, he secretly glanced at Mephisto.

The little Snorlax opened its mouth and spat out a series of emerald green seeds, which shot at Heracross like a machine gun. Although the damage was not obvious, it successfully distracted Heracross, who was pouncing on it.

Heracross covered its face to block the seed bomb, its body swaying in the air. Angelina took the opportunity to say to Snorlax:

"Snorlax, Body Slam!"

With a powerful stomp, the little Snorlax leaped into the air, spreading its arms and legs in a "T" shape as it pressed down on Heracross.

"Clarkros, get out of the way!" Angel shouted a warning.

However, it was too late. With a loud crash, Heracross was pinned down by Snorlax, its screams echoing everywhere. It was a heartbreaking sight that brought tears to the eyes of all who saw and heard it.

"Gang~~"

Snorlax nimbly got up, not forgetting to make a face at Heracross lying on the ground, while golden electricity crackled around Heracross's body.

Angel's face turned ashen.

Snorlax's Body Slam luckily triggered an additional effect, paralyzing Heracross.

Anjac wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by. He called out to the little Munchlax, "Mushroom, thirst!"

Upon hearing this, the little Snorlax immediately put on an adorable expression and raised its shiny fist to smash Heracross.

One, two, three.

Heracross was knocked so hard he was dizzy and disoriented.

Once it stood up again, Heracross finally recovered from its paralysis and saw Snorlax grinning at it.

For some reason, Heracross shuddered violently.

Just as Angel was about to command Heracross to retaliate against Snorlax, Snorlax stuck out its pink little tongue and hugged Heracross, licking it vigorously.

Herakros was licked so hard he was shaking.

Munchlax uses the Ghost-type move Lick, which deals damage to the opponent and has a chance to paralyze them.

Unfortunately, Heracross was paralyzed again.

While Heracross was unable to move, the little Snorlax hugged it and licked it frantically. After licking it five or six times, Heracross convulsed and collapsed to the ground.

Angel's face was extremely ugly; the battle was over before he even had a chance to unleash his full power.

The referee announced, "Heracross is unable to battle, Snorlax wins, therefore the winner is Prince Angel!"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

I never expected Prince Angel to be so powerful, he even managed to defeat Angel!

Angel silently withdrew Heracross. He looked at Angel, then at Mephisto watching the battle, his face flushed red with embarrassment and awkwardness.

The feeling of making a fool of yourself in front of your crush is just too embarrassing!

After defeating its opponent, Munchlax trotted over to Angel and happily jumped into Angel's arms to cuddle.

"G-G-G-Master, I won! I taught that guy a lesson for you."

The little Snorlax buried its head in Ange's arms and kept acting cute.

"Snorlax is amazing! You won in your first battle. I'm so proud of you!" Angie kept praising Snorlax.

The little Snorlax got shy after being praised by Anjay, and covered its face with both hands, peeking shyly at Anjay through its fingers.

Then Angel brought Snorlax to the center of the arena and shook hands with Angel in a friendly manner.

When they clasped hands, Mr. Angel said to Angel, "If you like someone, go for it boldly. There's no point in having a crush on someone forever."

Also, don't get me wrong, I have no romantic feelings for Mephistopheles.

When his secret was exposed, Angel's face turned bright red, like a boiled lobster.

After a long pause, he whispered to Anjie, "Thank you... Your Highness."

The two exchanged a smile and let bygones be bygones.
