Chapter 246: The Dessert Shop is Open!!!
The arrival of Alcremie and Swirlix made An Jies home very lively.
The two Pokémon were quickly amazed by the taste of An Jie's home cooking.
It was just a pity that Snorlax and the others didn't know that Alcremie and Swirlix were coming, so the amount of food prepared wasn't enough.
So An Jie had to prepare to take his apprentices to the kitchen to make more.
At this time, Magearna took out a large number of desserts that she usually stored from her system backpack and distributed them to Swirlix and Alcremie.
After eating Magearna's desserts, Swirlix and Alcremie said that An Jie didn't need to make any other food, because they preferred to eat desserts compared to other foods.
Because she spends most of her time practicing making desserts, Magearna's system backpack stores a large number of desserts, enough for Swirlix and Alcremie to eat until they are full.
An Jie gave up his plan to get busy when he saw this.
Although it was strange to eat desserts as a staple food, An Jie took it for granted if it was Alcremie and Swirlix.
However, although he didn't cook, he made a cup of honey grapefruit tea for each of Swirlix and Alcremie.
Swirlix and Alcremie are both fairy-type Pokémon, so they immediately fell in love with the honey grapefruit tea, which has special effects on fairy-type Pokémon.
After lunch, Magearna took the initiative to take Swirlix and Alcremie to visit Nibel Plateau. After An Jie sent them out, he sat on the recliner at the door in a daze.
At this moment, Absol appeared beside him.
Absol~ An Jie...
This made it look less elegant and more cute and silly.
Absol~ Absol~ I'm leaving, so I came to say goodbye to you.
Absol said to An Jie.
An Jie was stunned when he heard this. During this time with Absol, he had become accustomed to Absol's existence. He didn't expect that Kyogre had just left, and Absol was also leaving.
An Jie: "Why don't you stay and live with us?"
He didn't feel much when Kyogre left, but he felt reluctant when Absol was about to leave.
Absol was silent for a while when he heard this. It was a little tempted, but after thinking about it for a long time, it finally shook its head.
The comfortable life of Nibel Plateau is not what it pursues, it will wear down its will.
When An Jie saw this, he didn't say any more. Everyone or every Pokémon has their own pursuits. Whether it is meeting or parting, it is a part of life.
He didn't try to keep Loke when she left, and now that Absol is leaving, he won't force it either.
"Are you leaving now?" An Jie asked.
"Absol~" Absol nodded.
"Then wait a moment!" Saying that, An Jie got up and went into the house.
When he came out again, he had an挎包 bag in his hand.
This is a space backpack. An Jie packed some food and medicine in it.
He took out the things inside one by one and introduced their functions to Absol.
Most of the food An Jie prepared was energy cubes.
Energy cubes will become indispensable items in the trainer's journey. The main reason is that they are small in size, easy to carry, and have a long shelf life.
This is an advantage that other types of Pokémon food do not have. After all, not all trainers have the ability to make Pokémon food themselves.
Looking at An Jie nagging himself, looking like he was meticulous in everything, a warm current surged in Absol's heart.
After putting the things back into the backpack, An Jie hung the backpack on Absol's neck.
"Take care of yourself outside, Nibel Plateau welcomes you back at any time."
Absol nodded, then rubbed its head against An Jie's neck窝 with tears in its eyes.
An Jie took the opportunity to hug Absol's neck and said, "I wish you a smooth journey."
Absol nodded.
After the one person and one Pokémon let go of each other, Absol jumped off the steps at the door and ran wildly into the distance.
Almost in a moment, it disappeared from An Jie's sight.
"Sigh~~~" Taking his gaze back from the distance, An Jie sighed a long time, and his emotions became a little low.
After sighing for a while, An Jie suddenly thought that he seemed to have heard a prompt from the system before going to the palace to pick up Alcremie and Swirlix.
Thinking like this, he opened the system.
Sure enough, as soon as the system was opened, he saw a prompt popping up in the taskbar.
"Congratulations to the host for completing [Temporary Task 1] Helping Magearna improve her dessert making and reach the level of a dessert chef—Completed, rewards to be claimed."
Seeing this prompt, An Jie sat up straight.
The completion of this task means that Magearna's dessert shop can open!
Since receiving the task of helping Magearna open a dessert shop, An Jie has been preparing. The second floor of Snorlax's house has already been renovated, and he is just waiting for Magearna's skills to improve. It can be said that everything is ready except for the opportunity.
Has the opportunity finally arrived now?
The completion of this task made An Jie's original bad mood slightly better.
With anticipation, he claimed the task reward.
"Congratulations to the host for completing [Temporary Task 1] Helping Magearna improve her dessert making and reach the level of a dessert chef.
Reward: Individual value +2, Tera Jewel * 1"
Another Tera Jewel? An Jie looked at the reward he just got in surprise.
He had already obtained a Tera Jewel before. That Tera Jewel made a great contribution in helping Yveltal fight Kyurem.
However, Tera Jewel has a shortcoming, that is, it needs to be recharged after using it once before it can be used again, and the only charging point is in the Paldea region.
If you want to be able to recharge infinitely, unless An Jie has the source of Terastallization, the legendary Pokémon—Terapagos.
After using the Tera Jewel last time, An Jie sent it to Penny, asking Penny to help recharge it and then send it back.
An Jie took out the newly obtained Tera Jewel, then took out the original one, and played with them in his hands.
The Tera Jewel just obtained is in full energy state, and An Jie does not need to recharge it, so now both Tera Jewel in An Jie's hands can be used.
Terastallization is quite useful, and it can play a role in reversing the situation at critical moments.
Given its need to be recharged, the number of Tera Jewel is naturally the more the better, so An Jie is quite satisfied with this reward.
It would be great if the system could open the charging function of Tera Jewel in the future, such as charging with happiness points...
Forget it, don't fantasize!
After putting away the Tera Jewel, An Jie began to deal with the 2 individual values he had just obtained.
Inteleon's individual value is full, so now these 2 individual values must be given to other partners.
Who to give it to?
An Jie opened the data of his partners, and his eyes swept over them one by one.
The candidates are: Gengar, Greedent, Passimian, Metagross and Aegislash.
Diancie, Snorlax, Inteleon, Komala's individual values are all full.
As for Magearna, Volcanion, Latios, Latias, and Baltoy, their individual values are naturally all full.
After thinking it over, An Jue decided to add these 2 individual values to Metagross.
One reason is because Metagross's individual values are the closest to being completely full.
Another reason is because Metagross's strength is the greatest among the partners, except for Latias, Latios, Volcanion, and Bewear.
After adding the individual values to Metagross, Metagross's data is as follows:
Metagross
【Type】 Steel, Psychic
【Ability】 Clear Body
【Gender】 None
【Level】 86
【Moves】 (Omitted)
【Individual Values】
HP: 31
Attack: 31
Defense: 31
Special Attack: 30
Special Defense: 31
Speed: 31
Just a little bit more, and Metagross's individual values will be completely full.
Originally, Metagross's Defense individual value was 30, and its Special Attack individual value was 29.
After turning off the system, An Jue happened to see Latias and Latios flying over his head, so he waved at them.
“Woo~”
“Awoo~”
The siblings happily descended from the sky, hovering in front of An Jue.
“Woo~” An Jue, what's the matter?
Latias asked with a smile.
An Jue replied, "I have a gift to give you!"
“Awoo~” A gift?
The siblings looked at An Jue in confusion.
"Take a look at what this is?" As he spoke, An Jue took out two items and handed them to Latias and Latios respectively.
Seeing the items, Latias's eyes lit up.
“It's a phone!”
The partners at home all have phones, even Baltoy is no exception. Latias and Latios had long been envious of this magical tool.
Such a small thing not only has powerful entertainment functions, but also allows people to know everything without leaving home. It's simply too magical.
“Woo~~” Really for us?
Latias asked with anticipation and disbelief.
“Awoo~” It's too precious, is it okay for us to accept it?
Latios looked hesitant.
In the siblings' opinion, such a magical thing must be very precious, and they had only just joined this family.
An Jue smiled and said, "It's not precious at all. All the partners at home have one, of course you should have one too. Don't be polite, take it quickly!"
“Woo~ Woo~” Hearing this, the siblings each accepted a phone. Latias even held the phone and happily spun around in the air.
Then, the siblings gathered around An Jue, one on the left and one on the right, and An Jue taught them how to use the phone.
As Psychic-type Pokémon, the siblings were naturally extremely intelligent. They learned almost immediately, and soon they became engrossed in playing with the phone, having a great time.
Once the siblings started playing, the afternoon passed quickly.
Around sunset, Magearna returned with Swirlix and Alcremie, accompanied by Xerneas.
A group of Fairy-type Pokémon surrounded Xerneas, looking very harmonious.
The Fairy aura emanating from Xerneas would unconsciously attract Fairy-type Pokémon to approach.
Seeing Magearna return, An Jue told it the news that the dessert shop could open.
“Duki~” Really?
Magearna was extremely excited.
“Of course it's true!” An Jue nodded in response.
“Du~ ki~ du~” That's great! That's great!
Magearna happily hugged An Jue.
An Jue patted the back of its head and said, "Get ready, we'll open for business tomorrow morning!"
“Duki~” Okay!
Magearna released An Jue and nodded vigorously.
Just as An Jue and Magearna were discussing matters related to opening the shop, two Cramorant flew over from afar, each carrying a large fish in its mouth.
These two Cramorant had now completely settled in the Nibel Plateau, and were responsible for helping An Jue catch fish from the lake every day.
Dropping the two fish on the stone slab at the entrance, the two Cramorant landed on the edge of the flower bed, waiting for today's dinner time.
An Jue looked at the two lively fish, got up and walked over to pick them up, then turned around and said to Magearna:
“It's getting late, it's time to make dinner. We'll talk about the rest tonight.”
“Duki~” Okay~
Magearna nodded and followed An Jue into the house.
An Jue was going to make dinner for the other Pokémon, and Magearna was also going to make dinner for the Alcremie and Swirlix.
Before long, the other Pokémon gradually gathered in the square. Under Xerneas's introduction, they got to know Swirlix and Alcremie, and everyone chatted enthusiastically.
Soon, a rich aroma wafted out of the house. Everyone chatted while eagerly watching the house.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on everyone, adding a layer of soft light to them.
The Nibel Plateau was peaceful.
The next morning, as An Jue got up and went downstairs, he passed by the second floor and heard movement coming from inside.
He walked in and saw that Magearna was already busy in the kitchen.
Today was the day the dessert shop was opening, so it had gotten up early to get busy.
Not only was it there, but Swirlix, Alcremie, Gothita, Girafarig, and Wobbuffet were also there, all full of energy.
With Swirlix and Alcremie helping, Magearna's work efficiency was extremely high. The table in the center of the kitchen was already filled with various desserts, which looked very delicious.
Gothita, Girafarig, and Wobbuffet, as the dessert shop's staff, had already changed into their respective work uniforms.
Gothita was wearing a custom-made maid outfit.
Wobbuffet was wearing a small apron.
Girafarig was wearing a hair tie and a small bib.
These clothes were all given to the three Pokémon by An Jue last night.
The three of them, along with some Alcremie, were helping to package the desserts.
Seeing An Jue, the Pokémon waved to greet him.
An Jue didn't enter the door, but only said to Wobbuffet and the others from afar, "Get ready, we'll set off in a while."
“Wobbuffet~”
“Gothi~”
“Gira~”
Wobbuffet, Gothita, and Girafarig nodded in response to An Jue.
Magearna didn't need to go to the dessert shop. It was just a pastry chef, and only needed to send the finished desserts to the restaurant for Wobbuffet and the others to sell.
Once An Jue was ready, he set off with Inteleon, Doublade, Baltoy, Kirlia, two Espurr, Wobbuffet, Gothita, and Girafarig.
Also traveling with them were two Golett, who were responsible for helping everyone carry things.
The dessert shop not only sold Magearna's desserts, but also sold Passimian's homemade wine and juice.
When the store's stock of desserts, wine, and juice was insufficient, the two Golett would be responsible for traveling between Snorlax House and the Nibel Plateau to restock.
Unlike the breakfast shop and noodle restaurant with limited business hours, the dessert shop was open for the entire day, so Wobbuffet and the others would have to work harder.
When they arrived at the second floor of Snorlax House, Wobbuffet and the others immediately started working according to the previous training.
