The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 22 Fish leaps over the dragon gate
The family of four walked and walked until they came to the two big trees on the plateau. This is one of the highest places on the Nibel Plateau. Standing here, you can see the scenery of most areas on the plateau.

The Royal City of Azoth can also be clearly seen in the distance.

"Let's rest here," Angel suggested, and he sat down on the grass.

Diancie and Snorlax sat on the left and right of Ange.

"Angel, are you looking at the Royal City of Azoth?" Seeing Angel in a daze, Diancie suddenly asked.

Anjie came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Yes, I don't know what the Azoth King City has become now."

Diancie nodded, "I'm curious too."

When Snorlax saw Ange and Diancie talking about Azoth Royal Castle one after another, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Anjie rubbed its head and explained to it with a smile: "Azot Royal City is the hometown of Diancie and me." He pointed to the location of Azot Royal City, "See it? It's right there!"

Snorlax nodded, not quite understanding.

"Gang~Gang~~" Master, are you missing home?

"A little bit," Anjie replied. (Dianxi's translation process is ignored here.)
Upon hearing this, Snorlax became anxious.

"Gang~Gang~~" Then Master, will you leave the Nibel Plateau? Will you abandon me?!

"Why do you think so?" Angel looked at Snorlax in surprise, "Of course not, Nibel Plateau is already my home, of course I will stay here forever, I won't go anywhere, and I will never abandon you!"

"Just~Just~"

Hearing this, little Snorlax was very happy. He jumped into Angie's arms, hugged Angie's waist and acted coquettishly.

Snorlax's level has recently increased, so its strength has also increased. Angie was almost unable to breathe after being pounced on by it.

He stroked Snorlax's back and said, "Snorlax, have you gained weight recently?"

When Snorlax heard this, he became unhappy and immediately sat up from Angel's arms, punched his chest with his fist and retorted: "Gang~Gang~~" This is not fat, this is strong!

"Puchi~~~" Angel was amused by it and pinched its soft belly, "Yes, yes, yes~~~ It's strong, not fat!"

Snorlax's characteristic is thick fat, so it is particularly easy to gain weight, and being fat is indeed equivalent to being strong for it.

After Anjie and Snorlax played around for a while, Diancie asked again, "When are you planning to go to Azoth Royal City?"

Anjie thought for a moment and said, "Let's go tomorrow. It doesn't matter which day we go. The earlier we go, the earlier we can return."

Diancie nodded, "Okay."

------

The next morning, after Angie and Snorlax made breakfast for the Pokémon, they packed up and prepared to set off for Azoth Royal City.

"Qilu~ Qilu~~"

At this time, the bluebird that had not left yet flew over.

"What's wrong, bluebird?" Angel asked puzzledly.

"Chilu~Chilu~"

The bluebird gestured for a while, but Anjie didn't understand a word, so he had to call Diancie to translate.

"Qilu~Qilu~" Anjie, I heard that you have something to do in the Azoth Royal City, is that right?

The bluebird asked.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Anjie asked curiously.

"Chiru~~" Snorlax told me.

"Is that so? Then why did you come here?" Anjie was even more confused.

"Qilu~Qilu~~" My mother said she could take you there.

Said the bluebird.

Anjie's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really?" He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the bluebird mother with a bad temper would be willing to help him. It was really surprising.

"Qilu~Qilu~" Really, come with me!

The bluebird flapped its wings and said to Angel.

"Okay!" Anjie said and ran to say hello to Diancie.

"Do you need me to go with you?" Diancie asked.

An Jie waved his hand and said, "No need. When we get there, I will summon you directly. Have you forgotten that I can summon you anytime and anywhere?"

Diancie had actually forgotten about this, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Snorlax, Oolong, please take good care of the house!" Then Angie greeted Snorlax and Oolong.

"Gang~~" Snorlax waved and wished Anjie a safe journey.

The Tree Pillow Bear was sleeping soundly while hugging the tree pillow, and did not respond at all to Angel's instructions.

Angel was brought by the bluebird all the way to the edge of Lake Nibel. He asked in confusion: "Didn't your mother say you would take me there? Why did you bring me to the lake?" The bluebird's mother couldn't be in the lake, right?

"Chilu~Chilu~"

The bluebird gestured for a while, and it took Anjie a long time to figure out that it was not the bluebird mother who was going to send Anjie off personally, but she asked a friend to send Anjie off.

Come to think of it, how could the mother bluebird originally hate humans so much, and how could she change overnight, and how could she allow humans to ride on her back!

"Qilu~ Qilu~~"

The bluebird called out to the lake, but it was just a wave. Angel saw a Laplace slowly emerging from the water and quickly swimming to the shore.

"Woo~~"

After reaching the shore, Chenglong greeted Anjie in a friendly manner.

Unlike other Pokémon on the Nibel Plateau, this Dragonite is not afraid of humans at all.

In fact, strictly speaking, Dragonite cannot be considered a simple Pokémon of the Nibel Plateau, because it lives in the Nibel River, and the Nibel River flows out from the mountains in the northwest of the Nibel Plateau. After flowing through the Nibel Plateau, it flows all the way south. It is extremely wide. Dragonite spends most of its time migrating and does not always live on the Nibel Plateau.

Moreover, Pokémon like Dragonite are close to humans and like to carry humans around when traveling, so naturally they will not resist Angel.

"Chenglong, I'll leave it to you this time."

As Anjie spoke, he took out a soft steamed bun from the system backpack and handed it to Chenglong. The system backpack also has a fresh-keeping function, so Anjie prepared some steamed buns and dumplings in it, intending to use them as lunch at noon.

"Woo~~"

Chenglong swallowed the steamed bun into his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing with enjoyment.

Happiness Points +100
"Woo~~"

After eating, Chenglong called out to Anjie, indicating that Anjie could set off.

Anjie jumped onto the dragon's back and sat down, then turned to the blue bird and said, "Blue bird, go home soon, don't worry about me."

"Qilu~ Qilu~~"

The bluebird flapped its wings and said goodbye to Anjie.

"Woo~~"

After the dragon whistled softly, it set off, and Anjie immediately felt the surrounding scenery begin to rapidly recede. Although the dragon swam very fast, and Anjie could not see the blue bird on the shore in the blink of an eye, it swam very steadily, and he could hardly feel any shaking or bumps.

It is indeed a riding Pokémon.

Lake Nibel is very vast. Riding a dragon at high speed on the calm lake, Angie can take the opportunity to see the various Pokémon that inhabit it, the dancing swans that float gracefully on the water, the ducklings that follow behind them, the horned goldfish and the king goldfish that race against each other, and the loving fish that gather together to show affection...

Seeing so many cute creatures, Angel was delighted.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear the roaring sound of water.

“Is there a waterfall ahead?”

Angie knew that where Lake Nibel and the Nibel River met was a turbulent waterfall.

I saw Chenglong nodded gently.

Anjie was horrified when he heard this, "Are we going to jump off the waterfall?"

"Woo~~"

Chenglong was amused by Anjie, and his eyes became crescent-shaped. He shook his head gently, indicating that he would not pass through the waterfall.

No matter how good its swimming skills are, it can't do anything against that high and fast waterfall!

"That's good, that's good." Anjie breathed a sigh of relief, "My little heart can't stand the shock."

As they got closer and closer to the waterfall, Anjie saw Chenglong swimming towards the side of the waterfall, and soon a channel with smooth water flow appeared in his sight.

Following this passage, Angie and his friends successfully arrived at the bottom of the waterfall.

Looking up from below, Anjie felt that the waterfall was even more majestic.

Just as Angel turned around to admire the magnificent waterfall, he suddenly saw a flash of red in the white water.

"what is that?"

"Woo~~"

Upon hearing this, Chenglong turned his head and looked over. He looked suddenly enlightened and then tried to explain something to Anjie, but unfortunately Anjie couldn't understand.

After staring for a long time, Andrzej saw more and more red in his sight, and then he realized that they were Magikarp climbing the waterfall.

“Is this a fish leaping over the dragon gate?”

Chenglong nodded slightly, confirming Anjie's guess.

At this time of year every year, in the lower reaches of the Nibel River, the Magikarp, which have been training their jumping ability for a year, will gather under this waterfall and use their jumping skills to climb upstream.

If they can successfully cross this natural waterfall, they will evolve into a powerful Gyarados, and then follow the Nibel River westward to continue looking for and challenging even more powerful opponents.

If they cannot cross the river, they can only continue to fight again next year in the form of Magikarp. If they still cannot cross the river, they can only reproduce, grow old, get sick and die in the form of Magikarp downstream.

Of course, some Magikarp evolve into Gyarados without crossing the waterfall. At this time, they will choose to give up the challenge of climbing the waterfall and settle peacefully in the lower reaches of the Nibel River.

Gyarados is proud, and if it cannot cross the waterfall in the form of Magikarp, it will think that it has lost the qualification to challenge the "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate".

Seeing that Anjie was staring in a trance, Chenglong simply stopped.

Angel was extremely shocked to see one Magikarp after another climbing up the waterfall with perseverance, never giving up even when they were washed down by the current, until they were exhausted and washed to the bottom of the river and disappeared.

This is the power of life!
Magikarp's power is too weak and it is known as the weakest Pokémon in the world. So after watching for half a day, Angel didn't see any of them successfully climb up the waterfall.

But the more this happened, the more Magikarp came in droves.

After a long time, realizing that there was no time to delay any longer, Anjie said to Chenglong, "Chenglong, let's go." At the same time, he silently offered his blessings to the Magikarp in his heart.

Come on, Magikarp!

However, the moment he turned around, a loud roar was heard, which even threatened to cover up the sound of the waterfall.

Angel turned around in surprise and saw a strong Gyarados roaring to the sky at the top of the waterfall, venting his excitement and pride.

Encouraged by the roar, the Magikarp below the waterfall seemed to see hope and climbed up again recklessly.

Congratulations!

After silently blessing the Gyarados in his heart, Anjie patted the dragon's neck and said, "Let's go."

"Woo~~"

The dragon hummed softly, and seemed to be encouraged by the Gyarados just now, and its voice became higher.

As the waterfall got farther and farther away from him, Anjie couldn't help but ask, "How long does it usually take for a dragon to ride on the dragon and a fish to leap over the dragon gate?"

"Woo~wu~wu~"

Chenglong called out three times in a row.

"You mean three days?" Angel asked.

Chenglong nodded.

"Then let's hope that enough Magikarp can cross the Dragon Gate in these three days." Angel wished sincerely.

"Woo~~"

Chenglong hummed softly and also offered his blessing.

As we gradually left the Nibel Plateau, the flow of the Nibel River became slower and slower, and the trees on both sides gradually grew taller.

Anjie could see the monkey monster and the inferno monkey jumping in the jungle, the four-season deer drinking water by the river, and the Lulili and Marillu playing by the water...

After leaving the Nibel Plateau completely, Angel discovered that the surrounding plants began to become withered, withered and yellow everywhere, and even the temperature gradually dropped.

Only then did Angel realize that it was already late autumn outside the Nibel Plateau.

The reason why the Nibel Plateau is so vibrant is not only because of its special geographical location, but it is also said to be because a special Pokémon lives there.

Due to the influence of that Pokémon, the climate of the Nibel Plateau is always spring-like all year round.

It can affect the climate of an area. Angel guessed that it might be a legendary Pokémon, but it was a pity that he had no chance to see it.

Not long after, the tall walls of Azoth Royal City appeared clearly in Angel's sight.

Were the walls of the royal city this high before? Anjie tried hard to recall.

When Chenglong carried Anjie to the river section closest to Azoth Royal City, he jumped onto the river bank and said, "Chenglong, thank you for your hard work. Please wait here for me."

As he said this, he took out another steamed bun and handed it to Chenglong.

"Woo~~"

Chenglong nodded while chewing. After finishing the steamed bun, it dived into the water and disappeared, leaving only circles of rippling water.

After finding a hidden bush, Anjie used the summoning function to summon Diancie to his side. I believe Diancie is now very curious about what the Azoth Royal City has become.

Seeing Diancie, who was originally far away in the Nibel Plateau, suddenly appear in front of him, Anjie couldn't help but marvel at the system's ability.

"How amazing!" Diancie herself was also surprised.

"Let's go."

Looking at the nearby Azoth Royal City, Angel took a deep breath and said.
