The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 137: Date with Diancie

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Xerneas, giving it a layer of golden glow and adding a sense of divinity to it.

"Everyone, go back." Xerneas said to Angel and the Pokémon.

"Xerneas, take care. I hope we can meet again someday in the future," said Angel.

"That day will come." Xerneas said with a smile, "Although it was only a short half day, I am very happy to have met you."

Its kind eyes swept over the Pokémon in front of it one by one, and finally landed on Diancie.

"Dianci, you haven't understood the fairy aura yet, have you?"

"Fairy aura?" Diancie asked in confusion.

"Yes!" Xerneas nodded, "Only when you comprehend the fairy aura can you truly develop your own abilities."

Diancie asked in confusion, "So how can I comprehend the fairy aura?"

"Come here." Xerneas said.

Diancie nodded and walked over to Xerneas' side.

Xerneas approached Diancie and placed his forehead against hers. Then the antlers on his head emitted a strong rainbow light, and then all Pokémon including Diancie were enveloped by rays of light.

So warm and comfortable!

The Pokémon couldn't help but marvel at this, and Angie felt the same way.

As Diancie was enveloped by light, Angie clearly felt that the waves emanating from it became more powerful and active.

After a long time, Xerneas stopped releasing the fairy aura. It looked at Diancie and asked, "This is the fairy aura. Do you understand?"

Diancie seemed to understand, nodded, and then shook her head.

Xerneas didn't explain much, just said: "Fairy aura is the power of life, and it is you who give birth to life!"

Then it said, "I should go now."

Upon hearing this, the two charcoal servants and the two fragrant pigs ran forward and hugged Xerneas reluctantly.

Xerneas smiled and said, "Don't be sad, we will meet again."

The crybaby Tan Xiaoshi wiped his tears and nodded vigorously.

Xerneas nodded to Ange and the Pokémon, then turned around and jumped, disappearing into the sunset in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, let's go back."

After Xerneas' figure completely disappeared, Ange said to everyone.

After returning home, Angie remembered the system reminder sound when Xerneas was eating, so he opened the system.

Sure enough, the system popped up a prompt immediately.

Congratulations to the owner for completing the achievement: Entertaining a God. Reward: Secret Fortress Energy System Opened. (Note: After the system transformation, the Secret Fortress energy has been converted from Magearna's Soul Heart to Diancie's Sacred Diamond.)
Seeing this reward, Anjie was slightly stunned. Energy system? What's the use of turning it on? He was full of curiosity.

"Anjie!" This is Diancie coming over, "I just received a system message that the energy system of the secret fortress has been activated."

Anjie nodded. "It's a reward for entertaining Xerneas! What is the use of this energy system?"

Diancie explained: “It has many uses!
First, after the energy system is turned on, the secret fortress can turn on the flight mode, similar to the function of an aircraft."

Anjie exclaimed: "A secret fortress that big can fly?"

Diancie nodded, "You forgot that the secret fortress was originally called the Sky Fortress."

"Oh, yeah~" Anjie finally realized what was going on, and then asked, "Are there any other functions?"

"Of course," Diancie nodded. "The second point is that once the secret fortress has energy, it can enter attack mode."

Anjie: "Attack mode?"

"Yes, a blow from the secret fortress can even knock down a god!" Diancie's tone unconsciously became serious.

"Shoot down the gods?" Angel opened his mouth wide, and after a long while he said, "No wonder... No wonder so many people wanted to fight for Magearna to control the secret fortress."

"Is there anything else?" After calming down, Angel continued to ask.

"And then there are the aspects of our daily life." Diancie answered, and then asked Anjie, "Do you know where the water and electricity we use in daily life come from? Why don't I, Snorlax, and Turtle feel happy when we eat the food you make?"

"Ah?" Anjie was stunned by Diancie's question. He stammered, "Aren't water and electricity provided by the system? You are my family, it's not strange that there is no happiness point provided, right?"

In fact, he never thought about these questions.

Diancie was speechless: "The system can't possibly provide you with these for no reason! You have to pay happiness points when you buy things in the system store, why should the system work for you for free!"

"Why is that?" Anjie's not-so-bright mind was confused.

Diancie explained, "Because of me, Snorlax, Otoko, Lizard, Gengar, Metagross, Bubble, and Mageara and Volkanion who just joined the family, the happiness points generated by eating are all consumed in our daily life materials.

Because it is implicit, the system has never made it clear! "

"So that's how it is!" Angel suddenly realized, "That is to say, after the secret fortress's energy system is turned on, the energy we need for life will be provided by the secret fortress, and you will also generate happiness points normally when you eat, right?"

"That's right!" Diancie nodded.

In the future, the operation of the home's power system, water purification system, garbage disposal system, etc. will all be powered by the energy system of the secret fortress. To be more precise, it will be powered by the sacred diamond.

The energy system of the secret fortress is equivalent to a conversion device.

The other sacred diamonds manufactured by Diancie are enough to support the operation of mineral kingdoms all over the world. Now they are just supplying the Anjie family, which is naturally a piece of cake.

Anjie thought for a moment and asked Diancie: "The energy source of the secret fortress is your sacred diamond. Is that okay with you?"

Hearing this, Diancie's face showed uncertainty, "I don't know either. How about... let's give it a try?"

Angie nodded.

It was already evening, and after asking his three apprentices to prepare dinner for the Pokémon, Angie went to the fifth floor of the secret fortress with Diancie.

The energy center of the secret fortress is here.

At this time, there were no other Pokémon on the fifth floor of the Secret Fortress, only a few fish in the pond that Angel and his friends had not had time to eat.

Under Diancie's control, the black iron lump suspended above the pool slowly opened and split into two like a Poké Ball. The middle of the two hemispheres was where the sacred diamond was placed.

"Let's start." Anjie said to Diancie.

"Yeah~" Diancie nodded, feeling a little nervous.

It stretched out its hands forward, aiming at the energy center, and saw countless pink lights quickly gathering in front of its palms. That was the phenomenon caused by the large amount of fairy energy gathering.

Gradually, a huge pink diamond took shape, and Angie was delighted to see it.

Become!

However, his joy lasted only three seconds, as he saw the pink diamond that had just been half formed turn back into star-like light and disappear.

Diancie dropped her arms in frustration, "I... I can't do it."

Seeing this, Anjie stepped forward and touched its head and said, "It's okay, take your time, there's no rush. We were doing fine before we didn't use the energy system."

Diancie said, "If I can use the fairy aura well, maybe I can create a sacred diamond."

An Jie said: "Practice slowly, you will definitely be able to master it. I believe in you! Let's put the energy aside for now and talk about it later."

"Hmm~" Diancie nodded slightly.

Anjie accompanied the lost Diancie out of the secret fortress.

Because she failed to successfully create the sacred diamond, Diancie was depressed for a long time and even had no energy to eat dinner.

When everyone was training cooking in the evening, Diancie changed from her usual strictness and was distracted frequently. Snorlax, Lizard, and Gengar looked at each other in confusion, seeming a little uncomfortable.

While Anjie was practicing waveguiding with his three disciples and Bubo, Diancie just sat there quietly, seemingly pondering about the fairy's aura.

Angel could vaguely see a pink light gathering in the palm of its hand, flickering.

In the following period of time, Angie often saw Diancie standing by the wall in a daze, sometimes looking at the rising sun, sometimes looking at the playful Pokémon, or looking down at a wild flower that had just budded, or staring at a weed that had just sprouted...

It even stopped watching its favorite TV series and gave up the hand-dying it was planning.

Angel had no idea how to control the fairy's aura, so he could only stay by Diancie's side silently, sometimes sitting quietly with it, and sometimes making delicious food to make it happy.

As time went by, Diancie kept thinking about what Xerneas said to her before he left: It is you who gave birth to life!

It has never been able to understand the meaning of this sentence.

That morning, before Anjie left for Snorlax's house, he said to Diancie, "Diancie, do you want to go with me to visit the royal city this afternoon?"

Diancie was stunned. "Visiting the royal city?"

Anjie nodded: "Yes, just the two of us!"

"But there are a lot of things to do at home..." Diancie hesitated.

"Hey, the house won't be in chaos without you for a while! It's settled, we'll meet at Snorlax's house at noon!"

After saying that, Anjie ran away, leaving Diancie standing there in a daze.

After a long time, a smile appeared on Diancie's face. In fact, it knew what Angel meant.

It has been trying to figure out the fairy's aura for so long, but still can't fully grasp it, so Angel wants to take it out for a walk to change its mood.

I don’t know why, but Diancie’s heart suddenly felt much clearer.

As soon as 10:00 in the morning arrived, Angel immediately closed the shop. After sending away Lizard, Meowth, Meowth, and Ralts, he stood quietly at the entrance of the space passage waiting for Diancie.

Not long after, Diancie arrived as promised.

"What are we going to do?" Diancie asked.

"Let's fill our stomachs first!" said Angel.

Diancie asked in confusion, "Then why don't you have lunch at home before going out?"

An Jie held his forehead helplessly, "Why are you not romantic at all?"

“Romantic?” Diancie looked puzzled again.

"Okay, come with me!" Angel took Diancie's hand and walked out.

While Diancie was full of doubts, Angie took it to a restaurant that looked very high-end.

As they walked in, a waiter came up and asked, "Do you have a reservation?"

This restaurant is extremely popular in Wangcheng. You can’t eat there without a reservation. Anjie made a reservation five or six days in advance before he got a seat.

Anjie nodded, "Yes." He took out his cell phone and showed the waiter his reservation number.

Upon seeing this, the waiter quickly took out the tablet computer in his arms to check, and after confirming Anjie's identity, he said:
"Mr. Anjie, please follow me!"

Led by the waiter, Angie and Diancie sat down at a window seat. Through the window, they could clearly see the view of the restaurant courtyard.

There are many different Pokémon in the yard of this restaurant, and guests can go into the yard and play with the Pokémon.

The waiter handed the menu to Anjie and asked Anjie to order. Anjie's eyes quickly scanned the menu, then pointed at the menu and said:

"First, a pomegranate salad, followed by Slowpoke Tail Soup, Honey-Roasted Giant Claw Crab Meat, Garlic Ironarm Pistol Prawn Meat, and for dessert, a Sakura Poké Pudding, and a glass of sweet bamboo water."

After ordering, Anjie returned the menu to the waiter. The waiter was about to give the menu to Diancie when he heard Diancie say, "I have the same order as Anjie."

The waiter was surprised when he heard Diancie's words, but his good manners made him remain calm and he didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon."

While waiting, Diancie looked around and saw many elegant people sitting in the restaurant, chatting and laughing. She whispered to Anjie:

"Why are we eating here?"

Anjie asked, "You eat the food I cook every day, don't you want to change the taste?"

Diancie shook her head. "No, I don't think other people's food is as delicious as yours."

An Jie smiled and shook his head, "Now that you're here, don't think about anything else. Just enjoy your meal. The most important thing is to enjoy the process."

Soon the pomegranate salad was served.

Anjie quickly called Diancie and said, "Try their pear fruit. It is said to be airlifted from the Alola region. It is very delicious."

Diancie nodded, picked up the fork, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then nodded and said, "The taste is indeed different."

"Right, I spent a long time choosing this restaurant." Angel said with a smile, and then he raised a can of yogurt next to him, "Here, it tastes better with this yogurt. This is yogurt made from moo moo milk, and it tastes very special."

Diancie followed Angie's example and enjoyed the food, gradually throwing away all the unnecessary thoughts in her mind.

After the fruit salad, the Slowpoke Tail Soup came up.

Slowpokes have slow perception and their tails don't have many nerves, so they won't feel pain even if their tails are broken, and they will grow back quickly.

Not only that, their tails are extremely delicious and are a very high-end ingredient.

It is difficult to buy Slowpoke tails outside because their production is very, very low. Because the health of the Slowpoke needs to be considered during the breeding process, their tails can only be harvested once in a long time.

This restaurant serves Slowpoke tails because they raise their own Slowpokes. You can’t get them at other restaurants.

Angel called to Diancie and said, "Try it quickly, this is their signature dish. This is my first time eating Slowpoke's tail!"

Diancie nodded, picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup into her mouth. Then she and Angel looked at each other at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.

"So fresh!" exclaimed Diancie.

"Yes!" Anjie said happily, "I knew my choice would not be wrong."

After the Slowpoke Tail Soup, the dishes served were the Honey-cooked Giant Claw Crab and Garlic-mashed Iron Arm Pistol Shrimp.

Don’t be scared when you hear these two dishes. The giant crab meat and iron-arm pistol shrimp meat mentioned here actually refer to the meat on their claws.

The claws of these two Pokémon, the Gnat and the Pistol Shrimp, fall off every once in a while, and then grow back harder and more powerful claws.

Because of the rigorous training, the meat from the claws that fall off these two Pokémon is very delicious. Some people specialize in breeding these two Pokémon, and when their claws fall off, they collect the claws and sell them on the market.

The pliers of both Pokémon are also difficult to buy because they do not shed their pliers continuously, but only once in a long time.

"This one is delicious too."

Diancie chewed in small bites and pointed at the two plates in front of her.

Anjie smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it. If it's not enough, order more."

Diancie shook her head. "That's enough."

After the main meal, we had Sakura pudding as dessert and sweet bamboo water as a drink.

Anjie introduced to Diancie: "This is a pudding made with grass goat milk, dotted with cherry fruits produced by Sakurabao. Diancie, try it."

Diancie nodded and scooped a spoonful into her mouth.

The pudding melted in the mouth. Its smooth texture, rich milky aroma and sweet taste instantly filled Diancie's mouth.

Take another bite of the cherry on top, it’s sour, sweet, crisp and tastes great.

"Delicious." Diancie squinted her eyes happily.

But after putting down the spoon, it said, "But I feel that the goat milk used to make this pudding is not as good as ours."

Angie smiled and signaled it not to say that as it would be impolite if the restaurant waiter heard it.

Diancie smiled and stuck out her tongue.

Anjie quickly finished the pudding and took a big sip of sweet bamboo water.

This sweet bamboo water is made from fruit juice and the sweat of sweet bamboo, and it tastes very special.

The sweat of the sweet bamboo is very sweet, and humans cannot bear it if they drink it directly, so it needs to be diluted with water. Once the sweetness reaches the moderate level, it will become a delicious drink.

Desserts make people feel happy. After drinking the sweet bamboo water, Anjie and Diancie both had happy smiles on their faces.

After lunch, everyone and their Pokémon rested for a while before leaving the restaurant.

Anjie smiled and asked, "How does it feel to eat out once in a while?"

Diancie blinked and said in a good mood, "It feels good."

“Where to go next?” Diancie asked.
