Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

#42 - The light of evolution

After counting the spoils, Anjie parted ways with Raquel. He hadn't been to the palace much lately because he always ran into those ministers.

They were always nagging him about his stall outside, trying to persuade him to give it up for the sake of the royal family's reputation. Some even wanted to marry their daughters to him, which was ridiculous!

Why would they be so eager to marry their daughters to a carefree royal like him?

Anjie hugged the Komala and stood on the cable car, heading towards the city gate. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Prince Anjie! Prince Anjie!"

Then, a person on a motorcycle appeared on the adjacent motorcycle lane.

"Prince Anjie, please wait a moment," the person said, chasing after the cable car.

Seeing this, Anjie stopped at the nearby stop, and the motorcyclist stopped immediately as well.

"You are?" Anjie asked in confusion.

The man took off his helmet, revealing a somewhat fierce-looking middle-aged man. He introduced himself, "Good afternoon, Prince Anjie. My name is Daoka, and I am a subordinate of Lord Jarvis."

"Jarvis?" Anjie frowned. "What does Jarvis want with me?"

Daoka said, "Your Highness, our lord invites you to have a cup of coffee. It's right over there." He pointed to a coffee shop.

Anjie hesitated for a moment and agreed, "Let's go."

"Yes!" Daoka said, leading the way.

"Welcome!"

After entering the coffee shop, Anjie immediately saw Jarvis sitting by the window. Seeing Anjie enter, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Prince Anjie!" he said enthusiastically. "I've been wanting to talk to you alone for a long time, but I haven't had the chance."

Anjie sat down opposite him at his invitation and asked suspiciously, "What's there to talk about between Minister Jarvis and me? I'm just a carefree member of the royal family who doesn't care about state affairs. Do you want to talk about how to run a stall and do business?"

"You jest, Your Highness," Jarvis said with an awkward smile. Then, he suddenly sighed deeply and said earnestly, "In principle, the throne of the Azoth Kingdom should belong to you!"

Huh? Is Jarvis implying something?

"You're joking. The throne belongs to Edward, and the heirs are姬美雅 and Raquel. What does it have to do with me? I just want to live leisurely every day and don't want to work so hard."

Anjie's eyes were wary of Jarvis. This guy was up to something.

However, Jarvis only hinted at it and didn't dwell on it. Instead, he turned to another topic.

"Does Your Highness know about Magearna?" Jarvis asked.

"Of course. That's my sister's Pokémon. Hasn't it been missing? It's uncertain whether it's still alive, after all, five hundred years have passed," Anjie said.

"Does Your Highness really not know the whereabouts of Magearna? You are Queen Anna's own brother, and you woke up from five hundred years ago because of Eliphas. Didn't they leave you any clues?" Jarvis pressed.

"No," Anjie shook his head decisively.

He really didn't.

"Your Highness, please think carefully," Jarvis said unwillingly. "Magearna is related to the future prosperity of the Azoth Kingdom!"

Anjie still shook his head. "Really, no!"

"Your Highness, don't you want to see Azoth dominate the world?" Jarvis said excitedly. "The secret weapon left by Eliphas will definitely help Azoth achieve it, as long as you and I find Magearna!"

Anjie didn't expect Jarvis to be such an ambitious person.

He said, "I think Azoth is doing very well now. The people are prosperous, the country is thriving, peaceful and harmonious. Dominating the world is too much of a fantasy!"

"It's possible! It's definitely possible! That's definitely not a fantasy, as long as we can find Magearna and activate the secret weapon left by Eliphas!" Jarvis's expression was a little manic.

"Jarvis!" Anjie called out to him.

Jarvis then realized his gaffe, so he restrained his emotions and sat up straight again.

"I think Azoth is fine as it is and doesn't need to be changed," Anjie said.

Hearing this, Jarvis was immediately disappointed. "Your Highness, I am really too disappointed in you. You are simply unworthy of your identity!"

Anjie cursed in his heart: Damn it, is this guy trying to gaslight me! Do I have to satisfy you with everything I do!

He stood up abruptly. "Jarvis, I'm sorry, I have to go home. Goodbye!"

"Okay, okay! You little clingy thing!" Anjie pinched its ears.

Anjie walked into the house and saw Kirlia and Gardevoir, so he greeted them with a smile.

During this time, Kirlia came to the store every day to help, and Gardevoir often followed Kirlia after her body recovered.

Since Anjie was completely accepted by the Pokémon on the plateau, the number of Pokémon eating at the store every day has been increasing. Thanks to Kirlia and Gardevoir for helping, otherwise Diancie would be too busy.

Diancie was so busy with just the cleaning alone.

Gardevoir and Kirlia are Psychic-type Pokémon, with their help, Diancie only needs to grasp the direction, which is very easy.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time," Anjie said gratefully to the couple.

"沙奈~沙奈~~"

"奇噜~奇噜~"

The couple waved their hands repeatedly. Compared to Anjie's help to them, what they did was nothing.

Moreover, after they helped here, they could eat a meal in the store every morning and noon. They should be the ones taking advantage.

Seeing that Anjie was back, the work in the store was almost over, and the couple planned to say goodbye with their baby.

At this time, Anjie stopped Kirlia, "Wait, Kirlia, do you want to evolve?"

Kirlia looked at Anjie in confusion. Its level hadn't reached the point where it could evolve.

However, recently it had indeed sensed the urge to evolve, so it must be close to leveling up.

Seeing Kirlia's confusion, Anjie took out his phone, found a picture of Gallade, and showed it to it. "I'm not talking about evolving into Gardevoir, but evolving into Gallade."

Seeing the picture of Gallade, Kirlia's eyes lit up. Compared to evolving into Gardevoir, it obviously preferred the handsome Gallade.

"奇噜~奇噜~"

Kirlia tilted its head to look at Anjie, but how could it evolve into Gallade?

An Jie smiled and said, "All I need is an Awakening Stone." With a flip of his hand, a crystal-clear blue stone appeared in his palm—the Awakening Stone.

He had bought this Awakening Stone when he passed by the Pokémon store today, intending to give it to Kirlia as a thank-you gift. It cost him 30,000, which was quite expensive.

But now, he wasn't short of 30,000.

An Jie didn't tell Kirlia that he had spent money to buy it, lest it feel burdened. He only said that someone had given it to him, and since he had no use for it, he was passing it on to Kirlia.

Kirlia was delighted to hear this and eagerly reached out for the Awakening Stone.

The moment they touched, a blue-white light shone, extending along Kirlia's arm until it enveloped its entire body.

Within the blue-white light, Kirlia's height gradually increased, from less than 1 meter to over 1.5 meters.

When the blue-white light dissipated, a completely new Pokémon appeared before everyone.

This Pokémon was green on top and white on the bottom, wearing a helmet and a crown. It had a slender waist, rounded hips, strong and powerful thighs, and sharp, retractable blades on its arms.

It was the handsome Gallade.

"Congratulations, Gallade," An Jie said with a smile, congratulating Gallade. At the same time, Gallade's data appeared in his eyes.

Gallade's Individual Values were relatively excellent among the wild Pokémon An Jie had seen, except for its seriously lacking Special Defense.

He then looked at Gardevoir.

Gardevoir's level was slightly higher than Gallade's; otherwise, it wouldn't have evolved first.

After the evolution, Gallade lowered its head, raised its hand, and curiously examined its new form. Diancie and Munchlax also stepped forward to offer their congratulations.

Only Komala rolled over, said nothing, and let out two snores.

"Gar-de ~ Gar-de ~"

"Gal-lade ~ Gal-lade ~"

Gallade and Gardevoir sincerely thanked An Jie.

Afterward, An Jie saw the couple out the door.

After lunch, An Jie went to inspect his vegetable garden again.

Under the care of the Diglett brothers, the garden was growing more luxuriantly.

During this time, with the help of the Diglett brothers, An Jie had expanded the vegetable garden by a bit and replanted some new vegetables.

After inspecting the garden, An Jie went to visit Barboach and Whiscash. The brothers were half-submerged in the water and half-lying on the bank, sunbathing.

With them were two Wooper, who were also lazily lying on the broad lotus leaves, basking in the sun.

The lotus leaves swayed gently in the breeze, like cradles. The two Wooper closed their eyes, their mouths opening and closing, and faint snoring sounds came from their mouths, which was extremely adorable.

Although the two Wooper hadn't made their home in An Jie's pond, An Jie saw them every time he came to visit the Barboach and Whiscash brothers.

To avoid disturbing them, An Jie only glanced at them and tiptoed away.

Returning to the vegetable garden, An Jie picked a basket full of green vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables.

Afterward, he said to the Diglett brothers, "I'll continue to leave the vegetable garden to you. You can eat any of the vegetables inside."

In fact, the Diglett brothers didn't have a big appetite and couldn't eat much at one meal.

"Diglett-lett ~ ~"

"Diglett-lett ~ ~"

The Diglett brothers nodded and watched An Jie leave with the basket.

What was An Jie going to do with this basket of vegetables? Eat them himself? Of course not. He was going to build a relationship with the Gogoats.

His mission hadn't progressed yet. Two of the three missions required the cooperation of the Gogoats to be completed.

For the past ten days or so, An Jie had been wandering around the Gogoats' place almost every day.

Carrying the vegetable basket back home, An Jie called out to Munchlax, "Munchlax, let's go out!"

"Mun ~ ~ ~" Coming! Coming!

Munchlax ran out in a puff of smoke upon hearing this.

Diancie followed closely behind, "I'm telling you to come back early, don't play too late again!"

Every time An Jie and Munchlax went to see the Gogoats, they would play with the Pokémon along the way and not come home until it was dark. Diancie had reminded them several times, but it didn't work.

"Mun ~ Mun ~ ~" Housekeeper! Housekeeper!

"Got it! Got it! Housekeeper!"

An Jie and Munchlax laughed and ran away. Munchlax didn't dare to call her that in front of Diancie. It was especially happy to call her that at this time, and then it would get disciplined by Diancie when it got home.

An Jie always enjoyed watching this.

Munchlax often complained, why was it okay for Master to call her that, but it would get punished for calling her that?

Diancie: My master pays me, do you pay me?

Munchlax: . . .

Recently, An Jie had been earning more, and the wages he paid to the Pokémon had also increased.

Munchlax was easily distracted by other things. It would go over to smell a small flower it saw on the road; it would go and chat with a Bunnelby; when it saw a Fletchling flying in the sky, it would insist on shouting until it saw it and responded to it before it would stop.

Therefore, it took An Jie and it a while to reach the Gogoats' habitat.

The largest area on the Nibel Plateau was the empty and lush grassland, so the most numerous Pokémon living here were the grass-eating Gogoats and Skiddo.

On the flat grassland, the Gogoats either lowered their heads to eat grass, lay down to rest, or were affectionate with each other. The Skiddo frolicked and rolled happily on the grassland, creating a peaceful scene.

"Everyone, I'm here again!"

An Jie put the basket on the ground and called out to the Gogoats and Skiddo.
