The gourmet master of the fairy world

Chapter 31 A Night at the Fairy Center

Hearing Angie's cry for help, Miss Joy immediately came over.

Looking at Gardevoir's bulging belly, Miss Joy asked, "Is she about to give birth?"

Anjie quickly explained: "It has been in pain for a long time, but the baby can't be born."

Miss Joy nodded, "I understand." She waved to Jigglypuff, "Jigglepuff, push Gardevoir into the delivery room." Then she turned to comfort Angel and the anxious Kirlia, "Don't worry, everything will be fine with me here. You wait outside, the baby will be born soon."

"Ms. Joy, please." Angel said, holding Miss Joy's hand, as if he was the child's father.

Miss Joy gave Angel and Kirlia a reassuring look, then quickly followed Jigglypuff into the delivery room.

Angel held the tree-pillow bear and waited in the hall with Kirlia for a long time. Suddenly, he remembered that Crow Chief was still outside, so he said to Kirlia, "Kirlia, I want to go see Crow Chief. Are you waiting here or coming with me?"

Kirlia shook her head and pointed to the delivery room, indicating that she would stay there and would not leave until Gardevoir was out of danger.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be back soon." said Angel.

Kirlia nodded. In fact, it was the first time for it to see so many people. It was very nervous and scared, but when it thought of Gardevoir who was still receiving rescue inside, it had to muster up the courage to stay here.

As uneasy as Kirlia was the Crow Chief, although he looked calm, with his head held high and looking very proud and high-spirited at the moment, he was actually very panicked inside.

Such a majestic crow head standing at the entrance of the Elf Center is hard not to attract attention, so people passing by will look at it intentionally or unintentionally.

This made the Crow Leader even more panicked.

It’s also because the crow leader has rarely seen humans and is afraid of them. You have to know that its counterparts living in the human world are completely different from it. It can be regarded as a bully in the Pokémon world.

Cunning, domineering, cruel, and cold... these are people's first impressions of Pokémon like Crowhead, or they can be said to be stereotypes.

"Chief Crow!" Angel ran out of the Elf Center and shouted. At this moment, Chief Crow felt that Angel was like a god descending from the sky.

"Ah woo~~~"

The crow leader quickly hopped up to Angel, then revealed a hint of embarrassment.

Anjie noticed the crow leader's nervousness, patted its wings and comforted it, "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here."

At this moment, the Crow Leader did feel a little relieved.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Chief Crow, are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat."

The crow leader shook his head, wondering how he could eat human food.

However, Anjie ignored its refusal and said, "Let's go, let's go. Even if you don't want to eat, Kirlia must be hungry after being frightened all the way. Besides, won't Gardevoir need to eat when she comes out of the delivery room? Giving birth is very exhausting."

Now that Anjie had said this, it was impossible for the Crow Leader to refuse.

Angel asked around at the Pokémon Center and found a Pokémon store nearby that specialized in selling Pokémon items, which also sold Pokémon food.

"Welcome." As soon as Anjie pushed the door open, a beautiful lady came up to greet him. "What would you like to order?"

Anjie waved his hand and said, "Let me take a look myself first."

The young lady still had a smile on her face, "Okay, you can call me anytime if you need me."

Anjie nodded, then looked at the crow leader at the door and said, "Wait for me a moment."

The chief crow nodded obediently.

Angie walked around the store and soon found the area that sold Pokémon food.

After some observation, Angie found that the Pokémon food here is generally divided into two categories.

One type is suitable for trainers to carry when traveling. The most typical of this type is the energy block. Its energy is highly compressed, and eating a little bit is enough to fill your stomach. The advantage is that it is easy to carry.

One type is suitable for feeding Pokémon at home. The typical one is Pokémon cookies. The characteristics of this type are good taste and various shapes. The ordinary ones are cylindrical, about the size of a child's thumb; the more delicate ones are made into square, diamond, round, heart-shaped... and even various mini Pokémon shapes. In short, they are very attractive.
As for price, the first category is generally more expensive.

Anjie thought about it and picked some of both.

Energy cubes, a box the size of a palm, 500 Alliance Coins. According to the checkout lady, this box can feed a Pokémon for two or three days.

Too expensive!

Pokémon Cookie Angel bought a large jar, a cylindrical jar one meter high and one meter in diameter, for 800 Alliance Coins.

It’s not cheap either.

Anjie walked out of the store holding the Pokémon food he had just bought, and said to the crow leader, "Let's go back to the Pokémon Center to eat."

The crow leader nodded, slowly flapped its wings and flew up, following closely behind Angel.

Angie held the big jar of Pokémon cookies, put the small box of energy cubes on top, and put Turtle Tail on the lid of the jar.

So heavy!

As he walked, he said to the Tree Pillow Bear, "Tree Pillow Bear, have you eaten enough tonight? If not, you can try the energy cube above. It's very expensive, and I don't know if it tastes good."

The Tree Pillow Bear rolled over, opened the lid of the energy cube, and put one in his mouth.

Not to mention that these energy cubes look really good. Each one is the size of a fingernail and crystal clear. There are white, red, green, blue ones in a box... Just like crystal, they are very beautiful.

Anjie thought it should taste good.

However, the tree-pillow-tailed bear only ate one and closed the lid of the box, refusing to eat the second one.

"Are you full already?" Anjie was surprised. "It seems that the lady in the store was not lying."

Just as the man and two Pokémon walked into a dimly lit alley, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out, snatched the energy block that Angel had placed on the top with lightning speed, and quickly retreated back into the alley.

"Ah woo~~"

Seeing this scene, the crow leader crowed and immediately counterattacked the darkness in the alley. The Tree Pillow Tailed Bear also raised his glowing tree pillow, ready to smash it out at any time.

But Angel quickly stopped the two Pokémon, "Forget it, forget it, it's just a box of energy cubes." Angel is naturally lenient towards Pokémon, who makes him like Pokémon?

The Crow Chief and the Tree-Pillow Bear then gave up, especially the Crow Chief, who looked at Angel with a hint of imperceptible closeness and affirmation in his eyes.

The one who just snatched the energy cube was obviously a Pokémon.

Angel looked at the darkness of the alley for a long time before he left with Crow Head and Tree Pillow Tail Bear.

As soon as he left, a Haunter holding an energy cube box quietly poked its head out from the darkness. The color of this Haunter was slightly different from the ordinary Haunter.

The body of an ordinary Haunter is dark purple and its tongue is red, but this one is gray-purple and its tongue is light purple.

Haunter looked at Angel's receding back, and it took a while for him to return to the darkness.

After Anjie returned to the Pokémon Center, he walked in with Crow Head. After finding Kirlia, they came to the Pokémon Center's special area for Pokémon to eat. Anjie spent a few happiness points to buy three bowls from the system store, and poured a full bowl of Pokémon cookies into each bowl and placed them in front of the three Pokémon. "Eat quickly," Anjie said.

The chief crow obediently began to eat with relish, but the tree-pillow bear was not in the mood and rolled over to Angel's side and continued to sleep soundly.

But Kirlia couldn't eat.

Seeing this, Anjie advised Kirlia: "After Gardevoir gives birth to the baby, it and the baby will need care. If you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to take care of them?"

After hearing this, Kirlia began to eat bite by bite.

As for the portion that the Tree-Pillow Bear didn't eat, Angie didn't force it. He put it all with the Crow Leader and let the Crow Leader eat it.

After the two Pokémon had eaten, everyone continued to wait anxiously. As time passed, Kirlia's mood became visibly agitated.

At this moment, the lights in the delivery room suddenly went out, and Miss Joy came out holding a white and green Pokémon egg.

Anjie and the others hurried over to meet them.

"Ms. Joy, how is Gardevoir doing?"

Kirlia's head kept looking towards the delivery room.

"Congratulations, mother and child are safe." Miss Joy said as she handed the Pokémon egg to Angie.

"That's great." Angel, the Crow Leader, and Kirlia all breathed a sigh of relief. Angel took the elf egg and gave it directly to Kirlia who was eagerly waiting for it, and explained to Miss Joy, "Kirlia is the father of the child."

Miss Joy smiled and nodded to show her understanding.

"Ms. Joy, can we go see Gardevoir?" Angel asked again.

"Of course." Miss Joy nodded. "Gardevoir had a difficult delivery this time, and her body suffered a lot of damage. She must replenish her nutrition in the next period of time, otherwise it will be difficult for her body to recover."

Hearing this, Kirlia was in a dilemma. Right now was a period of food shortage on the Nibel Plateau, and it was powerless even if it wanted to.

Anjie squatted down and touched the top of Kirlia's head, then looked up and said to Miss Joy: "Of course, we will take good care of Gardevoir."

Miss Joy nodded with satisfaction. "Then you can go and see Gardevoir. If there are any problems, feel free to call me and Chandler. If everything is normal before dawn, then Gardevoir can be discharged from the hospital."

"Thank you Miss Joy, you've worked hard."

After watching Miss Joy leave, Angie was about to take Kirlia and Crow Leader to visit Gardevoir when he saw Kirlia tug at the corner of Angie's clothes.

"Chilu~Chilu~"

It was saying thank you to Angie.

Kirlia is a Pokémon that can sense other people's emotions. When Angel touched the red sensory organ on its head just now, it instantly understood that Angel was helping them sincerely and without asking for anything in return.

Even the promise he just made to Miss Joy was serious.

Feeling that Kirlia's attitude towards him had become much closer, Anjie smiled.

"Let's go and see Gardevoir. Gardevoir must be eager to see you now."

"Qilu~"

Kirlia nodded, and pushed the door into the delivery room with Angel.

At this time, Gardevoir was lying weakly on the bed. When it saw Kirlia coming in, it immediately gave Kirlia a bright smile.

When it saw the baby in Kirlia's arms, it immediately reached out and wanted to hug the baby.

Kirlia teleported to Gardevoir and handed the baby to it.

Gardevoir carefully held the baby in her arms, gently stroking the hard-earned child with her hands, her face full of love.

"Sana~Sana~~"

Then Gardevoir sincerely expressed its gratitude to Anjie. If it weren't for Anjie's help, its baby might not have been born.

"Gardevoir, you should have a good rest and don't worry about anything else." Angel said to Gardevoir.

"Garna~" Gardevoir nodded gratefully.

Then Anjie said to Kirlia: "Kirlia, you stay with Gardevoir. The Crow Chief and I will go out first. Call me if you have anything."

He knew that Gardevoir and Kirlia must want to be alone for some time.

"Chilu~Chilu~"

Kirlia nodded and held Gardevoir's hand tightly.

Before leaving, Angie left the Pokémon cookies to Kirlia, asking Kirlia to take care of Gardevoir and make sure it was well fed.

After coming out of the delivery room, Angie went to Miss Joy to settle the medical expenses.

"It's a good deal, 5000 Alliance Coins." Miss Joy said with a smile, "May I ask if you have a formal trainer status registered with the Alliance? I can give you a % discount."

Angel shook his head and said, "I'm not a trainer." Not only that, he's an illegal resident.

As he said this, he quickly took out the money and paid the bill.

"Oh, right!" Miss Joy suddenly remembered something. "We have an incubator here that is specially designed to protect Pokémon eggs and promote their hatching. Do you want one?"

"How much is one?" asked Anjie.

"500 Alliance Coins." Miss Joy replied.

"Okay, let's get one." As expected, nothing related to Pokémon is cheap.

Of course, this also indirectly proves the prosperity of Pokémon culture in this world.

After paying, Angel carried the incubator back to the delivery room and handed it to Kirlia. He did not tell Kirlia and Gardevoir how much money he spent at the Pokémon Center this time, nor did he tell them that the incubator was bought with money.

However, everything he did was seen by the Crow Leader who had been keeping an eye on him. Later, the Crow Leader secretly told Kirliam and Gardevoir about it.

That night, Angel hugged the Tree Pillow Bear and leaned against Crow Head, and spent the night in the hall of the Elf Center.

Although the night in late autumn in the Kingdom of Azoth was cold, Angel spent the night warmly leaning on the furry wings of the crow. When he woke up the next day, he felt refreshed.

Early in the morning, Miss Joy was already busy with her Jigglypuff, and Angel greeted them in a friendly manner.

"Good morning, Miss Joy."

"Good morning, Sir."
