Chapter 285: Holy Crap
After repeatedly failing to discover the source of the ringing, An Jie had learned to give up, so he ignored the ringing and continued cooking.
Soon, the heat was sufficient, and An Jie uncovered the large pot of stew. A rich aroma immediately burst out, causing the Pokémon to uncontrollably drool.
At this time, the rice was also ready, so An Jie bought a large pile of disposable bowls from the system store, and then beckoned to the Pokémon, saying:
"Everyone, come over here quickly!"
Although the Pokémon really wanted to eat, they didn't immediately come forward. Each of them had a hesitant expression on their faces. Some of them took a step forward, but then quickly retracted their legs, looking extremely conflicted.
At this time, the highly respected Torterra said, "Come on, everyone, let's eat together!"
Only then did the Pokémon cheer and rush to An Jie's side one after another.
Seeing so many Pokémon, An Jie quickly said, "Everyone, don't rush, line up, one by one."
The Pokémon were so tempted by the aroma of the food that their appetites surged. They were making a lot of noise and couldn't hear what An Jie was saying at all.
Seeing this, Sceptile jumped onto a tree branch and shouted loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"
As soon as this sound came out, the originally noisy scene instantly quieted down. Everyone shrank their heads and dared not look at Sceptile.
Seeing this scene, Torterra couldn't help but laugh.
It and Sceptile were the heads of the family here. Usually, they liked to play the roles of 'good cop, bad cop.' Sceptile's image in everyone's mind was one of majesty, and no one dared to make it angry.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Sceptile said again in a serious voice, "Line up!"
The Pokémon quickly and quickly formed a line, behaving extremely well.
Seeing this scene, An Jie couldn't help but laugh. The way everyone shrunk their heads was too funny.
"Everyone, come over to get a bowl, then go to Aegislash to get rice, and then come to me to get vegetables."
As An Jie's voice fell, the Pokémon orderly followed his instructions.
Based on the different sizes of the Pokémon, An Jie and Aegislash would appropriately increase or decrease the amount of food they gave them.
The disposable bowls that An Jie bought from the system store were made of special materials from the Pokémon world. They were as easy to degrade as ordinary leaves and were very environmentally friendly.
After getting the rice and vegetables, the Pokémon immediately held their food to the side and began to feast, and then there were exclamations one after another.
It had glared at An Jie just a moment ago, but now it came to ask for food, which made Scyther feel very ashamed, so it was embarrassed to come forward.
An Jie didn't care about Scyther's previous rudeness at all. After all, he was the uninvited guest here, and Scyther was just maintaining the necessary vigilance against strangers.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here!" An Jie smiled and waved at Scyther.
"Scy..." Scyther walked to An Jie reluctantly, and carefully handed over the rice bowl.
After An Jie took the rice bowl, he filled it to the brim for it. Scyther immediately thanked An Jie with a grateful expression, and then happily held the rice bowl to enjoy it.
Looking at Scyther's back, An Jie smiled and shook his head.
Sceptile and Torterra were the last to get food. After everyone had eaten, they started eating with An Jie's Pokémon.
After only taking one bite, the two Pokémon were amazed.
"Is this the skill of a human chef? It's amazing!" Torterra couldn't help but praise.
"Mmm, mmm..." Sceptile nodded vigorously in agreement with Torterra while eating large mouthfuls. Its naive appearance was completely different from the martial arts image of attacking An Jie at the slightest disagreement.
"It's good that you like it." An Jie also served himself a bowl, then sat on the stool and enjoyed it with the Pokémon.
Sending a mouthful of vegetables mixed with a mouthful of rice into his mouth, An Jie nodded in satisfaction while chewing.
Mmm... very good, it seems that my cooking skills have improved again!
While eating, he didn't forget to feed the Comfey in his arms.
Latios, Latias, and Salamence were quite hungry and were also gobbling it down, especially Salamence, who was eating with great relish, which made An Jie's appetite better.
Just as An Jie was enjoying his lunch, a small Pokémon with a grassy green body and a large head suddenly appeared out of thin air on the table.
It stared at the food in An Jie's bowl with its round eyes, not even noticing that it was drooling.
Slurp... The mysterious Pokémon slurped its saliva and subconsciously wiped its mouth with its small hand.
It was this movement that made An Jie discover its existence.
He An Jie was stunned, stared at the mysterious Pokémon with wide eyes for several seconds, then stood up with a whoosh and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Holy crap, Celebi!"
An Jie never dreamed that he would encounter the Mythical Pokémon—Celebi—here.
Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon, Psychic and Grass type. It has the power to travel through time and miraculously travels through various time and space.
And it has the ability to share its power with plants and trees. The forests where it has appeared will grow extremely lushly, so it is also known as the God of the Forest.
An Jie's sudden standing up startled Celebi. It fell several times on the table and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately An Jie was quick to catch it in time.
Sitting in An Jie's palm, Celebi stared at An Jie with wide eyes, looking dazed and cute.
At this moment, An Jie finally understood who the shrine outside was used to worship. Who else could it be but Celebi?
"Um... hello?" After a moment of silence, An Jie took the initiative to greet Celebi.
"Bi~" Celebi quickly flapped its wings and flew out of An Jie's hand.
Torterra and Sceptile gathered around Celebi, calling out to Celebi loudly, while Celebi happily flew around over everyone's heads.
After playing with everyone for a while, Celebi flew back to An Jie and pointed to An Jie's rice bowl.
"You want to eat too?" An Jie asked.
"Bi~ Bi~" Celebi nodded vigorously.
An Jie smiled and said, "Then you wait a moment."
"Bi~" Celebi nodded and flew to the table, sitting down obediently.
An Jie quickly served a portion of rice and vegetables and placed it in front of Celebi, handing it a spoon and saying, "Eat it quickly!"
"Bi ~" Celebi waved the small spoon twice, then started gobbling up the food.
It wasn't a Pokémon completely ignorant of the human world, so it knew how to use a spoon to eat.
"Bi ~ Bi ~" Delicious! Delicious!
Celebi quickly stuffed its mouth full.
Seeing this, An Jue smiled, sat back down on the stool, and continued enjoying his lunch.
Celebi looked petite, but its appetite was actually quite large. It quickly finished a bowl of rice and dishes.
It pushed the licked-clean bowl in front of An Jue, looking at him with its watery eyes in a soft and cute manner.
An Jue's heart was about to melt from its gaze, "More?"
"Bi ~" Celebi nodded happily.
"Alright, I'll get you some!" An Jue said with a smile as he got up.
While An Jue was serving the food, Celebi flew in front of the large pot, pointing here and there.
An Jue pointed at the fragrant mushrooms with a spoon and asked, "Do you like eating this?"
"Bi ~ Bi ~" Celebi nodded vigorously.
An Jue smiled and said, "Then I'll give you more!"
"Bi ~~" Celebi immediately circled happily in the air, then continued to point at the pot, asking An Jue to serve it what it liked.
Celebi wasn't a vegetarian; it liked to eat both tender mushrooms and soft, glutinous pumpkins, as well as fragrant ribs. Its tastes were very diverse.
And so, Celebi ate three large bowls in a row before lying on the table with a round belly, its little hands constantly rubbing its stomach.
Seeing it uncomfortable from being so full, An Jue prepared a glass of juice that could aid digestion for it.
"Drinking this will make you feel better."
Celebi quickly took the juice and drank it in small sips using the straw that An Jue handed over.
An Jue admired its cute appearance while chatting with it, as well as with Torterra and Sceptile.
Through their conversation, An Jue learned that Torterra's ancestors had grown up under Celebi's protection.
A long, long time ago, Yveltal caused a great disaster in a forest, leaving many Pokémon homeless and displaced.
(An Jue: Oh my god, Yveltal, why is it your fault again!
Yveltal: I don't know either.)
One group, mainly consisting of Grass-type Pokémon, accidentally encountered Celebi, which included Torterra's ancestors.
Later, Celebi brought them to this lush forest and sheltered them, allowing them to settle down here.
The entrance here was formed because of Celebi's power.
In the years that followed, Celebi would appear in this forest every once in a while to visit the Pokémon living here.
Torterra's knowledge all came from Celebi's teachings.
The bell sound that An Jue had heard earlier was actually a special phenomenon caused by Celebi traveling through time and space, also known as the Echo of the Forest.
Celebi had been silently observing An Jue. Later, Torterra trusted An Jue only after receiving Celebi's instructions.
Sceptile's attitude towards An Jue also changed because of Celebi's existence.
Why did Celebi trust An Jue?
Because An Jue reminded Salamence not to use Fire-type moves during his battle with Salamence and Sceptile.
In Celebi's eyes, how could someone who loved the forest be a bad person!
In the ensuing conversation, Celebi learned the reason for An Jue's arrival in this forest. It suddenly flew up from the table and waved to An Jue.
"Bi ~ Bi ~" An Jue, come over, come over quickly.
An Jue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Celebi urged An Jue, "Bi ~ Bi ~" Come over, you'll know when you come over!
An Jue had no choice but to get up and follow behind Celebi.
Celebi flew all the way towards the top of the Divine Tree. At first, An Jue could barely keep up, but as the altitude increased and climbing became more difficult, he gradually began to struggle.
At this moment, Aegislash flew over and stopped beside An Jue. An Jue understood and stepped onto its back.
Aegislash carried An Jue all the way to the top. When they approached the very top of the Divine Tree, Celebi suddenly stopped, and Aegislash quickly braked.
"Celebi!" An Jue called out to it.
"Bi ~" Celebi smiled at An Jue, and then its whole body bloomed with emerald green light.
In An Jue's surprised gaze, a green bud emerged from the trunk of the Divine Tree.
Under Celebi's power, the green bud grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a thick branch.
The branch continued to sprout and grow, and soon it grew into a small tree.
At this time, Celebi placed its hand on the small tree, and the shimmering green light was poured into the small tree's body. The small tree began to gently sway its body, and the leaves rustled as they rubbed against each other.
Five or six minutes later, Celebi withdrew its hand, and the small tree became quiet.
The small tree was now lush and verdant, and every leaf seemed to be glowing. It was clear that it was extraordinary.
Well, if the small tree was just an ordinary small tree, then Celebi wouldn't have bothered to accelerate its growth. The Divine Tree had no shortage of anything else, and there were plenty of branches, some thick and strong.
Crack ~ With a crisp sound, the small tree was cut off by Celebi with Magical Leaf.
Celebi used its psychic powers to drag the small tree to An Jue and handed it to An Jue.
"For me?" An Jue asked.
"Bi ~" Celebi pointed to the Komala lying on top of An Jue's head.
"To make a tree pillow for Komala?" An Jue asked again.
"Bi ~ Bi ~" Yes, yes, for Komala!
Celebi danced happily in the air.
An Jue said gratefully, "Thank you, Celebi!"
Then he said to Komala, "Komala, come and see if you like this piece of wood."
Komala slowly came down from An Jue's head, crawling along An Jue's shoulders and arms, all the way to the small tree, and then hugged it tightly, looking very lively.
"It seems you really like it!" A happy smile appeared on An Jue's face.
It really wasn't easy to please Komala!
An Jue: "Let's go down, I'll help you make the wood into a tree pillow."
So An Jue, Aegislash, and Celebi returned to the platform.
Latios, Latias, and Salamence were all very happy for Komala when they learned that Komala had found a favorite piece of wood.
An Jue first had Aegislash cut the wood into a suitable size, and then took out knives, sandpaper, and other tools for further processing and polishing.
As time passed, a new tree pillow was born, almost the same size and shape as Komala's original one, except for the texture and grain.
An Jue inadvertently used the Observation Eye to look at the new tree pillow and discovered that it was no ordinary tree pillow, but had a special effect.
An Jue saw the information of the new tree pillow appear in his eyes.
"Earth Tree Pillow: …"
