Darkrai was bitterly wandering around Azoth Kingdom, eliminating nightmares, while Munna brought the Dream Tree seed that Anje gave it to the dream world of Mareep.
The reason it wanted to plant the Dream Tree seed in Mareep's dream world was because Mareep's dream was the most complete, stable, and powerful in terms of dream power among all the Pokémon in the Nibel Plateau.
Today, as usual, Diancie and two Ariados came to Mareep's dream world to play with it, draw with it, and practice skills with it.
As they spent each day practicing with Mareep in the dream world, Diancie and Ariados felt that their use of skills became much more proficient.
During the process of practicing skills, the Pokémon suddenly saw a tree growing rapidly on a hillside not far away, and it grew into a towering tree in the blink of an eye.
"That is..." Then Diancie seemed to think of something, "Could it be... the Dream Tree?"
But wasn't it a seed that it gave to Munna? How could it grow so big all of a sudden?
"Let's go, let's go take a look." Diancie said to the two Ariados and Mareep.
Ariados and Mareep nodded and followed Diancie towards the big tree.
When they arrived under the tree, Diancie was surprised to find that there was a tree hole in the trunk of the tree, and Munna was curled up inside, sleeping soundly.
So this is indeed the Dream Tree?
Diancie carefully looked at the tree in front of it, only to see that there were transparent bubbles the size of human heads hanging on the branches.
It went closer to a bubble and found that there was a Bidoof inside.
Bidoof was lying on a mountain of snacks, eating heartily while giggling foolishly.
Are the dreams of everyone in these bubbles?
Then Diancie looked at another bubble, which contained Snorlax, who was sleeping soundly while happily hugging Anje.
There was also Sneasel's dream, in which it also dreamed that it had become a master, and had evolved into Weavile, beating Bidoof to the ground and making it cry for its parents.
After beating Bidoof, it threw itself into Anje's arms with a smug look on its face, and then gave Bidoof a provocative look.
Diancie: Sneasel, so you are such a Pokémon?
There were also Magikarp and Feebas's dreams.
Magikarp dreamed that it had evolved into Gyarados, dominating the world.
Feebas dreamed that it had evolved into Milotic, surpassing all the beauties and becoming the number one beauty in the Nibel Plateau.
Not all Pokémon have dream bubbles here. Diancie guessed that only Pokémon that are dreaming have their dreams manifested here.
For example, Anje's dream is not here.
At this time, the entire Nibel Plateau was covered by the power of the Dream Tree, and the dream power generated by the Pokémon's dreams would be absorbed by the Dream Tree to help it grow.
Munna was sleeping in the Dream Tree. The Dream Tree was planted by it, so it formed a symbiotic relationship with the Dream Tree, just like Mew and the Tree of Beginning.
Munna, who lives in symbiosis with the Dream Tree, will have a stronger power to travel through dreams under the subtle influence of the Dream Tree.
The next day, after Anje got up, Diancie told him about the Dream Tree. After listening, Anje was very surprised.
"So magical? Then tonight, let Munna take me into the dream world to see it."
Anje was very curious about the Dream Tree and the dream world.
"No problem." Diancie said.
When Anje was about to go to the royal city to work, he saw Darkrai returning from the royal city with a melancholy look on his face.
After devouring too many human nightmares and experiencing too many human emotions, Darkrai felt his head swelling, his heart sour, and a sense of astringency spreading in his eyes, which was very uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Darkrai dejected, Anje asked with a smile.
"Dark... Dark..." Don't talk to me.
Darkrai ignored Anje and floated away without looking back.
"What's wrong with it?" Diancie asked.
Anje smiled and said, "It must be uncomfortable from eating nightmares, bah ~ serves it right."
After learning about Anje's punishment for Darkrai, Diancie also felt that it deserved it.
At noon, after Anje returned from the royal city, he found Metang.
"Metang, can you help me develop an app for ordering takeaway?"
Today, customers are urging him when to start the takeaway service, and Anje feels that this matter is urgent.
In fact, there are other takeaway platforms online, but Anje just wants to create his own.
"Meta... Meta..." I can try.
Metang replied.
As he learns more and more knowledge, Metang's intelligent brain has mastered a large amount of information technology and network technology.
As far as Anje knows, since the kingdom's scientific researchers developed the payment system for the Nibel Plateau, Metang has been contacting them privately and learning a lot of knowledge from them.
"Meta... Meta..." Anje, can I add some research equipment at home?
As he masters more and more technology, Metang feels that the computer that Professor Foutu and Orre installed for Robert 2 is not enough.
That computer can only be used to handle some daily affairs at home, and it is too difficult to use for scientific research.
"Of course, no problem!" Anje said, "What equipment do you need? I'll get it for you?"
"Meta... Meta..." Anje, are you going to buy it for me?
Metang asked in surprise.
This stumped Anje, "If I don't buy it for you, who will buy it for you?"
It turned out that Metang originally planned to use the salary Anje gave it to buy it in the system store.
Anje couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "I pay you a salary to let you enjoy life, not to let you do these things.
Besides, what can you buy with your salary?
I ask you, are you buying equipment for this family?"
"Meta... Meta..." Metang nodded.
"That's it!" Anje said as a matter of course, "Since it's for this family, how can I let you pay for it privately? Of course, I, the head of the family, will pay for it!"
Anje's words couldn't help but make Metang smile. It should have thought that Anje would say this.
"Meta... Meta..." It agreed with Anje's words.
Anje patted Metang on the head and said, "Come, tell me what equipment you need, and I'll buy it for you."
He has saved a lot of happiness points, isn't it just for this time to use them?
Then, after a discussion with Metang, Anje spent a full five million happiness points to buy Metang a set of high-precision equipment in the system store.
This set of equipment is not only used by Metang to develop apps, but also can be used for various other research.
As sets of equipment were bought out, Metang's room was quickly filled, and Metang's eyes were curved with laughter.
It likes these devices.
Looking at the room where there was no place to put his feet, Anje said, "Why not free up the room next door specifically for you to put equipment, otherwise you won't be able to turn around in the room like this."
There are many empty rooms in Anje's house, and it is no problem to free up one for Metang.
"Meta... Meta..." Metang nodded happily.
"Then let's start." Anje said.
Then he and Metang cleaned out the room next door, and then moved all the equipment over.
Many of these devices need to be assembled by themselves after they are bought back. Anje can't help with this, so he can only rely on Metang himself.
Looking at the dazzling equipment parts, Anje asked, "Metang, are you really okay."
"Meta... Meta..." No problem at all, don't worry.
Metang said confidently.
Anje said, "That's good, then you can be busy slowly, I'll go out first, and I'll leave the app development to you."
Metang nodded, and after sending Anje out the door, it closed the door and began to get busy.
Since then, Metang has completely become a homebody. Except for eating and teaching students, most of the time he spends in his laboratory.
After Anje separated from Metang, he received a call from Gym Leader Dahlia.
In the phone call, Gym Leader Dahlia told Anje that the royal family's breeding ground had recently introduced a batch of Milcery from the Galar region, and when the royal family's trainers had cultivated them into Alcremie, they would send them to Anje.
Anje was very happy after hearing this. He didn't expect Gym Leader Dahlia to be so efficient. He had only proposed wanting Alcremie not long ago, and the royal family's breeding ground had introduced Milcery.
“姬美雅, thank you for your hard work.” An Jie thanked her.
“Your Highness, why are you being so polite with me?” Ji Meiya feigned anger, “Our breeding center has long wanted to introduce Little Fairy Milk. This is just an opportunity.”
An Jie said, “No matter what, I’ve troubled you. I’ll treat you to a meal later.”
Ji Meiya was very happy to hear this, “It’s a deal then. I’ll come to Your Highness’s house to play later.”
An Jie said, “You’re welcome anytime!”
Time flew by in a blink of an eye.
During this month, An Jie lived a very fulfilling life every day.
In the morning, he trained with Shiba and the Pokémon. In the morning, he went to work in the royal city. In the afternoon, he leisurely did nothing for half a day, and then continued to train with Shiba.
In the evening, after playing with the Pokémon for a while, he went to the training room to train.
Mew would occasionally visit Nibel Plateau as a guest, and after enjoying a feast at An Jie's house, it would return to its own home.
Recently, it became obsessed with the juice made by Passimian, so it often frequented the winery, and gradually became close to Komala.
An Jie often saw the two of them toasting and drinking happily at the counter of the winery, but Mew was drinking juice, and Komala was drinking wine.
The two little guys were small and round, and after drinking enough, they would lie on the counter and snore, while Passimian and Duskull completely became their nannies.
Then there's Darkrai. In this month or so, it really suffered a lot. It devoured 100 nightmares every day. The sleep quality of the residents of Azoth Royal City improved, but its spirit became more and more sluggish.
Moreover, during this month, apart from nightmares, An Jie didn't let it eat a single bite of food made by himself or his disciples.
At first, Darkrai very stubbornly stated that it disdained it.
But every day, smelling the fragrance in the air and watching the other Pokémon eat with satisfied faces, it always swallowed subconsciously.
It could endure it for a day or two, it could persevere for three or four days, but as time went on, it was too tormenting.
Now, it doesn't have any temper when facing An Jie, and just hopes that An Jie will be kind one day and let it have a bite.
In fact, devouring nightmares is beneficial to Darkrai. Don't think that Darkrai is listless because it is tormented by the various emotions contained in the nightmares, but in fact, its body is very healthy, much healthier than before it was subdued by An Jie.
Nightmares were originally Darkrai's food, and now it's just back on track.
So, facing the miserable Darkrai, An Jie never had a trace of pity.
This day, after lunch, Shiba bid farewell to An Jie.
“An Jie, I plan to leave Nibel Plateau today.”
An Jie was stunned, “So soon?”
Shiba smiled and said, “So soon? I’ve been at your house for more than a month!”
An Jie couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this, “Time really flies, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.”
Shiba nodded, “Who says it isn’t.”
During this month or so, Shiba and An Jie got along very well, and the two had become good friends who could talk about anything.
And Shiba also liked living on Nibel Plateau very much.
But after all, he was one of the Elite Four of the League. Staying on Nibel Plateau for more than a month was already the limit, and it was impossible to stay here all the time.
The two chatted for a while, and Shiba began to pack his luggage, while An Jie prepared some souvenirs, planning to let Shiba take them away.
There was fine wine that Shiba liked, some snacks made by An Jie, and a few cans of honey grapefruit tea.
As far as An Jie knew, Champion Shiba's Pokémon included Heracross, although it wasn't his main force.
Presumably, Heracross would like honey grapefruit tea.
After the things were packed, An Jie called Jerami to pick up Shiba.
Before leaving, Shiba took out a booklet from his body and handed it to An Jie, “For you.”
An Jie asked in confusion, “This is?”
Shiba explained, “This is my training experience. I stayed up late last night to write it. Keep it for reference.”
An Jie was moved when he heard this. After solemnly accepting the booklet, he said, “Thank you, I will definitely make good use of it.”
Then, he also took out something and handed it to Shiba. It was an exquisite brocade box.
“What is this?” Shiba asked while readily accepting the box and opening it.
Inside lay a huge pink diamond.
“You’re giving me this?” Shiba’s eyes widened.
An Jie joked, “My family is poor, so I can only afford to give this. You know, my family can pick this up anywhere.”
Shiba was amused by An Jie, “Alright, since it’s a gift from you, I’ll accept it.”
He knew that Diancie existed, and An Jie didn't lack this, so he didn't act pretentious.
After a reluctant farewell, Shiba boarded the aircraft and waved to An Jie.
“Goodbye, An Jie! Goodbye everyone!”
An Jie also waved, “Goodbye, keep in touch!”
“Gang ~”
“Babu ~”
… …
Munchlax, Sandile, and Farfetch'd, these Pokémon who had received Shiba's guidance, stood below and waved goodbye to Shiba vigorously.
After a long time, the aircraft gradually disappeared into the horizon, and An Jie took the Pokémon back home, feeling lost.
However, An Jie quickly recovered from the parting emotions. In this era, information technology is developed, and they can communicate through various communication technologies at any time, so there is no need to be overly pretentious.
After returning home, An Jie received a video call from Penny. He had some cooking problems and wanted to ask An Jie for advice.
An Jie explained it to him for a long time, but he didn't understand, so An Jie went into the kitchen and planned to demonstrate it to him.
During the demonstration, An Jie cleaned up the ingredients in his system backpack and accidentally found that the two green onions he had obtained from the daily tasks were still inside.
Fortunately, the system backpack can keep things fresh, otherwise, if they were left inside for a month, they would probably have rotted and smelled bad.
He casually placed the two green onions on the stove and continued talking to Penny.
At this time, two Farfetch'd walked into the kitchen.
An Jie was focused on talking to Penny and didn't notice them.
The two Farfetch'd wandered around the kitchen and were suddenly attracted by the green onions on the stove, and unconsciously took the green onions in their hands.
The moment the green onions entered their hands, they immediately realized that their destined green onions had finally appeared.
The two Farfetch'd looked at each other, smiles of excitement on their faces, and then carried the green onions and ran out quickly.
“Kama ~ Kama ~”
“Kama ~ Kama ~”
Arriving on the grass outside the fence, the two Farfetch'd waved the green onions in their hands with great vigor.
The more they danced, the more excited they became, and the more they liked it.
It's it, it's it, it's it, their destined green onions.
After many days, they once again possessed their own green onions, and the two Farfetch'd simply couldn't control their excited emotions.
At this time, Drilbur and Lairon happened to be passing by.
“Kama ~”
“Kama ~”
The two Farfetch'd flashed and stopped in front of them.
“Kora ~ ~” What's up?
Lairon looked at Farfetch'd in confusion.
The two Farfetch'd raised their eyebrows and beckoned to Lairon and Drilbur.
“Kama ~” Come!
“Kama ~” Fight!
Drilbur and Lairon were immediately excited when they heard this. Fight, fight, who's afraid of who?
So, the four Pokémon stood on both sides, planning to have a doubles match.
The two Farfetch'd lovebirds formed a team.
Drilbur and Lairon formed a team.
They invited the Oran berries sisters who were sunbathing on the fence to be the referees.
The sisters stood in the middle hand in hand, and after both sides were ready, they said at the same time:
“Linu ~” The game begins!
“Kama ~ Kama ~”
As the sisters' voices fell, the two Farfetch'd waved their green onions and launched an attack first. They saw a green light flashing above their green onions. The light gathered together and formed a blade.
They were using the Grass-type move Leaf Blade, which is a move that is easy to hit a critical hit.
Drilbur and Lairon were not to be outdone, and quickly used their moves to meet them.
A sharp white light flashed on Drilbur's claws. This was the Normal-type move Scratch, which, while dealing damage, also had a 50% chance of lowering the opponent's defense.
Lairon used the same type of move, Iron Head. The top of its head flashed with a metallic luster, and it crashed into the two Farfetch'd head-on.
The male Farfetch'd's Leaf Blade collided with Drilbur's claws first. After a stalemate, Drilbur was defeated first and was knocked away.
