“Gengar~”
Gengar scratched the back of its head shyly upon hearing this.
Anjay used his Eye of Appraisal to look at Gengar, its data was as follows:
Gengar

Special Defense: 29
Speed: 31
After evolving, Gengar also learned a new move, Perish Song.
Actually, speaking of which, Drizzile's level had also long reached the point where it could evolve.
Anjay then turned his Eye of Appraisal to Drizzile.
Drizzile
[Type] Water
[Ability] Sniper
[Gender] Male
[Level] 39
[Moves] Pound, Growl, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Sucker Punch, Bind, U-Turn, Liquidation, Water Pledge, Whirlpool, Water Sport, Swift, Muddy Water.
[Individual Values]

Special Attack: 31
Special Defense: 24
Speed: 31
It's level 39 already, and Drizzile's level is usually around 35, which is about right to evolve into Inteleon, but for some reason, Anjay hasn't seen any signs of his second disciple evolving yet.
Seeing the envy in Drizzile's eyes as it looked at Gengar, Anjay patted it and said, "You'll be able to evolve soon too, don't worry."
Pokémon evolution is full of uncertainties. Actually, Drizzile's situation is quite normal. The fact that it hasn't evolved yet only means that the time hasn't come. Maybe one day it will wake up after a nap and suddenly evolve.
Anjay had even secretly consulted Nurse Joy, and Nurse Joy also said that Drizzile's situation was normal.
“Ji mee~ Ji mee~”
Feeling his master's concern for him, Drizzile put away his disappointment and smiled at his master.
Anjay said, "Then let's go home."
After returning home, everyone was very happy to see Haunter evolve into Gengar. Snorlax even pulled Drizzile into the kitchen, vowing to make a big meal for his little junior to celebrate.
Seeing this, Gengar also followed his two senior brothers into the kitchen.
Anjay was happy to see that they had good feelings for each other, so he didn't interfere with the preparation of lunch, but instead came outside with Diancie and Magearna.
As soon as he went out, Anjay vaguely heard bursts of frolicking. He walked to the fence and saw Volcanion and Pancham, Litleo, Linoone, Helioptile, Scraggy, Krokorok, Chespin, Farfetch'd, Sizzlipede, and Sizzli all chasing a ball in the distance.
The Pokémon seemed to be divided into two teams, and there were also two goals made of wood on the grass, with nets woven from Ariados silk behind the goals.
Anjay said in surprise: "They are playing… Pokémon soccer?"
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna nodded repeatedly.
“Where did they get the ball?” Anjay asked in confusion.
“I bought it for them!” Diancie replied. It used the happiness points it had saved to buy a ball from the system store and gave it to Volcanion.
Originally, Volcanion started by kicking a ball made of weeds. It was secretly kicking it by itself, but after the other Pokémon discovered it, they immediately clamored to join in.
When he was first discovered secretly kicking the ball, Volcanion was still embarrassed, but under the encouragement of Pancham and a few other little guys, he quickly forgot his shame and had a great time playing with everyone.
However, the ball made of grass couldn't withstand being kicked and soon fell apart.
Diancie felt that they were too shabby, so it took the initiative to buy a ball for them. This ball was not ordinary and expensive. Diancie also went all out. Ordinary balls couldn't withstand these Pokémon's destruction.
After getting the ball, Volcanion immediately went crazy playing with everyone.
Anjay watched the Pokémon laugh and laugh, and Volcanion also had a great time, so he said with a smile: "Not bad, very good."
Then he whispered to Diancie: "I'll make up the happiness points for buying the ball later."
Diancie patted Anjay, "Can't I give everyone a gift?"
“Yes, yes.” Anjay said with a smile, “I'm in a good mood, can't I give my housekeeper a reward?”
Diancie patted Anjay again, “Who are you calling a housekeeper!” However, there was a smile in its eyes.
Anjay winked at it and said, “Whoever responds is it!”
Magearna watched Anjay and Diancie interact and covered her mouth to laugh secretly.
At this time, Anjay noticed that Swirlix was also watching everyone play soccer on the fence, and was cheering for both sides at the same time, so he waved to it.
“Swirlix, can you come over here?”
“Shu pu~” Anjay, you're back!
Swirlix was so focused on watching the game before that it just discovered Anjay. It immediately flapped its wings and landed on Anjay's shoulder.
“Shu pu~” What do you want me to do?
Anjay stroked it lightly, "Can you help me call Minccino over?"
“Shu pu~” No problem!
Swirlix nodded and immediately flapped its wings and flew away.
Not long after. Minccino, led by Swirlix, ran along the fence all the way.
“Lami~ Lami~” Anjay, are you looking for me!
Minccino asked Anjay, looking up.
Anjay took out the Shiny Stone he had just bought today and said to Minccino, "Minccino, do you want to evolve?"
“Lami~ Lami~” What will I look like after I evolve? Will I be pretty?
Minccino asked, tilting its head. If it wasn't pretty, it didn't want to evolve.
Anjay used his phone to find a picture of Cinccino and showed it to Minccino, "Here, this is what you will look like after you evolve, do you like it?"
Looking at Cinccino in the photo, Minccino's eyes lit up: Wow, so pretty! So pretty!
It immediately looked up at Anjay and jumped up and down, “Lami~ Lami~” I want to evolve! I want to evolve!
Anjay smiled and handed over the Shiny Stone, “Come, just touch this Evolutionary Stone.”
“Lami~”
Cinccino put its hand on the Shiny Stone, and in an instant, it and the Evolutionary Stone burst out with a bright blue-white light.
The light from the Evolutionary Stone slowly merged into the light emanating from Minccino, and gradually, the light on Cinccino's body became brighter and brighter.
Bathed in the light of evolution, Cinccino's body began to change, and when the light dissipated, a new Pokémon with a dignified temperament, like a noblewoman, appeared in front of everyone.
“Cinccino~” Have I evolved?
Cinccino raised its hand to look at itself.
“You have successfully evolved.” Anjay said to it.
Hearing this, Cinccino immediately looked up and asked Anjay, “Cinccino~ Cinccino~” Am I pretty? Am I pretty?
Anjay quickly nodded: "Pretty, both pretty and cute."
“Cinccino~”
Cinccino's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile. It trotted over to Diancie, pointing at Diancie and then at itself. Diancie understood and smiled, creating a mirror out of diamonds and placing it in front of Cinccino.
“Cinccino~”
Cinccino immediately began to wiggle and twist in front of the mirror, showing off its cuteness from every angle.
The diamond Diancie created was clear and bright, able to clearly reflect Cinccino's appearance.
After admiring its beauty enough, Cinccino pointed at the diamond mirror again. Diancie smiled and nodded:
“Of course, you can have it!”
Anyway, the mirror would disappear before long.
“Cinccino~”
Cinccino immediately ran off happily, hugging the diamond mirror that was almost as big as itself.
Watching Cinccino leave, Anjie said to Diancie and Magearna, “I wonder how the Munchlax and the others are doing with lunch. Let's go home and take a look.”
What he didn't notice was that Magearna was watching Cinccino's departing back, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
However, Diancie keenly noticed this, so when they returned home, Diancie and Magearna went upstairs mysteriously, much to Anjie's surprise.
Just as Anjie placed the lunch on the table and was about to go upstairs to call Diancie and Magearna down to eat, he saw the two Pokémon coming downstairs hand in hand.
However, Magearna now had some different decorations. Pink ribbons were tied on her head and chest, pink lace bracelets adorned her wrists, and pink lace flowers embellished her silver-white skirt.
It turned out that watching the narcissistic Cinccino made Magearna think of the days when she and Anna were together. Anna would always carefully dress her up, but now, besides the silver-white metal, only a few remnants of red paint from five hundred years ago remained on her body.
After noticing this, Diancie took Magearna back to her room to dress her up. These ornaments were all Diancie's usual collections.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna quickly walked towards Anjie, and unsurprisingly, she fell to the ground with a thud. Anjie quickly ran over to help her up.
Magearna was quite heavy, weighing nearly two hundred pounds. If Anjie wasn't so strong now, he probably wouldn't have been able to lift her.
However, Anjie wouldn't be so tactless as to mention Magearna's weight, because he knew that Magearna was very sensitive about people saying she was heavy.
He had learned this secret from his sister during a chat, when his sister told him as a joke.
Anjie: “Magearna, are you okay?”
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna shook her head. After steadying herself, she spun around a few times in front of Anjie, then looked at Anjie with bright, sparkling eyes.
Anjie quickly praised, “So beautiful, so beautiful!” As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Receiving Anjie's praise, Magearna happily narrowed her eyes, then ran outside. As soon as she ran to the door, unsurprisingly, she tripped again.
However, this time she didn't need anyone to help her up; she nimbly got up on her own and then disappeared outside. Anjie knew she had gone to find Volcanion.
After Magearna left, Diancie told Anjie about Magearna's earlier disappointment. Anjie felt very guilty after hearing this. Diancie had noticed the problem, but he hadn't.
Before long, Volcanion and Magearna returned happily. Anjie smiled and teased Volcanion:
“Volcanion, was playing Pokémon soccer fun?”
Volcanion looked awkward and raised his head proudly, saying, “Hmph, it was so-so. Everyone wanted to play, so I reluctantly joined them!”
Anjie didn't expose him and smiled, inviting everyone to have lunch together.
Today, to celebrate Gengar's evolution, Munchlax and Sceptile had really put in a lot of effort. There was a large table full of dishes, all mainly to Gengar's liking.
“Magearna!”
After lunch, everyone went to do their own things. Anjie called out to Magearna.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna looked at Anjie questioningly.
Anjie said, “I have a gift I want to give you.”
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna looked at Anjie with a smile, her face full of anticipation.
Anjie took out a set of stickers from his system backpack. The patterns on these stickers were exactly the same as the colors on Magearna's body five hundred years ago.
It turned out that this was a set of high-tech stickers that Anjie had purchased from the system shop. He had only accidentally seen them in the system shop after Diancie told him about Magearna's emotional changes.
According to the system shop's introduction, this was Magearna's exclusive skin. Sticking it on Magearna would not only not make her feel uncomfortable, but would also provide a certain degree of protection and maintenance, and to some extent increase Magearna's Defense and Special Defense.
Moreover, the material of the stickers was very strong. Even a full-force attack from a Legendary Pokémon could not easily damage it.
Of course, although this exclusive skin had powerful functions, the price was also very touching. The happiness points that Anjie had earned during this period were spent completely, and he had less than ten thousand left.
Fortunately, he hadn't needed to spend a lot of happiness points recently.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Seeing the familiar colors, Magearna's face showed surprise.
Anjie told Magearna about the function of the exclusive skin and asked, “Can I help you put it on?”
“Duki~”
Magearna nodded happily and opened her arms to Anjie.
Seeing this, Anjie took a stool and sat down in front of Magearna, sticking the stickers on Magearna's body little by little.
After seeing this, Diancie immediately ran over to help.
Soon all the stickers were stuck on Magearna's body. Magearna was completely different from before. Her skin had turned golden, and her skirt had turned red, which made her more dignified and elegant, making her look even more like a princess.
“All done!” Anjie said, clapping his hands.
“So beautiful.” Diancie said with a smile of praise.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna raised her hands and feet, looking curiously at the changes on her body.
Anjie asked, “Magearna, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“Duki~” Magearna shook her head. Not only did she not feel uncomfortable, but she felt even more comfortable.
This dress is so special!
“Magearna, do you want to see what you look like now?” Diancie asked.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Magearna nodded repeatedly.
Hearing this, Diancie used diamonds to create a mirror as tall as Magearna and placed it in front of Magearna.
Magearna turned left and right in front of the mirror, then raised her hands and feet. Looking at her familiar appearance in the mirror, she was a little dazed for a moment, as if she had suddenly returned to five hundred years ago.
“Du~ ki~ du~”
Withdrawing her gaze from the mirror, Magearna gave Anjie a hug, and then gave Diancie a hug.
To be able to meet you again… … It's so good.
