A tall homeless man, his hands on the shoulder straps of a tattered backpack, with Princess Diancie smiling beside him.
"What..." the man looked straight ahead and said hoarsely.
"It means helping each other. We will be very happy together. It's a very important person!"
Diancie said proudly: "I have learned a lot from traveling~"
"Friend..." A trace of reminiscence flashed across the man's cloudy eyes.
"Yeah." Diancie nodded and smiled. "AZ is my human friend, so if he stays with me, AZ won't be sad, right?"
The man smiled slightly and asked slowly, "Why are you traveling, Diancie?"
"Because my country has encountered a disaster."
Diancie was not on guard and said seriously, "I am going to find the legendary Xerneas. With the help of his fairy aura, I will master the power to create 'holy diamonds'!"
“… Don’t tell strangers about such important things.”
"But aren't AZ and I friends?"
The man was silent for a long time, then he looked up at the sky and said, "A long time ago, my country was invaded, and I tried to find the help of legendary Pokémon."
Diancie blinked. "And then?"
"And then... I succeeded in finding it, with the help of Xerneas and Yveltal."
The man twitched his lips, "So, I believe you can do it too."
Diancie said politely: "Thank you, AZ~"
"… I can take you to the Forest of Oruans." The man paused, "assuming your followers allow it."
Yveltal is about to awaken. With his power, perhaps I can end my eternal suffering...
Diancie turned around and found that the three little diamonds that followed her had found her.
At this moment, the three followers were staring at AZ's overly tall figure and trembling.
"Don't worry, this is my friend~"
"Your Highness... He looks more like a robber!" said Little Diamond.
"Bandit? What does that mean?" Diancie blinked.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The spotlight went down, a voice-over came from nowhere, and Diancie looked around.
"The so-called bandit is Princess Diancie, who we have taken in, nyan~"
The trio wore white uniforms and posed. Meowth in the middle licked the corner of his mouth to operate the machine. The mechanical arm grabbed the confused Diancie and stuffed her into a sack.
"According to the cadres' tasks."
Meow Meow glanced at the homeless man who 'didn't look like a good guy' and thought to himself, "We have to hide Diancie first and ensure her safety until we meet the cadres!"
Little Diamond said anxiously: "Your Highness!"
The man hunched his back, his whole body trembling. The fear of losing the flower stalk came over him again, and the despair of trying in vain surged into his heart. He was left with only a strong feeling of dizziness and nausea.
Musashi put his hands on his hips and looked at the tall man who was coughing violently, and asked curiously: "This guy... is his physical fitness so weak?"
"He looks malnourished. Don't worry about him. The important thing is to meet the cadres!" said Kojiro.
"Well, we'll take our leave now, meow~" The trio picked up the sack containing Diancie and disappeared into the alley in a flash.
The three little diamonds were running around in a panic.
Ash came running over after hearing the noise, glared at the AZ King who "didn't look like a good guy", and sent Pikachu:
"Don't be afraid, little diamond, I will take care of this guy!"
Behind them, Citron and Yurika were running out of breath. Serena shouted, "Don't be reckless, Xiaozhi."
King AZ was exposed to radiation from the ultimate weapon. He is three meters tall, with white hair that reaches his waist and ragged clothes. He makes a living by rummaging through garbage dumps all year round.
Endless life did not bring him corresponding physical strength, but instead it was like a candle flame that was burning faintly and was about to go out.
AZ was slightly startled when he saw the Pikachu sent out by Xiaozhi.
In the war years, people used iron saddles to control Pokémon (the setting of the Arceus movie), and they didn't even know what the Poké Ball was.
In AZ's memory, the Beast Masters were the name for these people... Pokémon were nothing more than war machines to them.
"You..." AZ looked at Pikachu lying on all fours and said slowly, "You are the messenger of Thundermon."
"What Thundermon?" Xiaozhi retorted: "That's my Pikachu. I'm a trainer from Pallet Town. My name is Xiaozhi. Let's have a Pokémon battle!"
"Trainer... Pokémon Battle..."
AZ shook his head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Warcraft, a tool used for war, now lives in harmony with the "Trainers".
The term "trainer" was only coined within the last hundred years, and AZ still hasn't really understood the meaning behind it.
"Whatever you want, Beastmaster, your Pikachu can't kill me."
AZ turned around, stepped on his muddy shoes, and looked forward: "Now, I have to go save my... friend..."
"Pika?" Pikachu turned his head and looked at Xiaozhi.
Xiaozhi also scratched his head in surprise.
Yurika picked up Dongdong Mouse and lowered her eyes: "I don't know why, but he looks so sad."
The three little diamonds were still spinning in circles anxiously.
"What are they talking about?" Serena asked.
"Hehehe—now is the time for technology to open up the future! Citron engine, start!"
Xitron adjusted his round-framed glasses and took out an analysis device from his backpack. "This device can translate the Elvish language into text that humans can understand based on the frequency of the Elvish language."
Aiming at the leading small diamond, the device presented its cry for help.
[Princess Diancie was captured by the men in white uniforms! The tall man is going to rescue Princess Diancie! ]
“It can really be translated!”
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up: "The power of science is really great!"
At this moment, the analysis device suddenly flashed with sparks and was on the verge of its limit.
boom!!
The analysis device exploded, and Xiaozhi and Xitron were covered in black, with afro curly hair on their heads, and exhaled a puff of black smoke.
"Really..." Serena said helplessly: "I said it's unreliable."
"Anyway, the white uniforms must refer to Team Rocket."
Xiaozhi shook his head, shook off the black smoke, and said, "We have to hurry and save Diancie!"
"Brother, what kind of Pokémon is Diancie?" Yurika held a Dodomo on her head.
"It's a mutant individual among the small diamonds. I have her ancient picture book here." Hitlon flipped through his phone and showed it to Xiaozhi and others.
"So beautiful!" everyone said in unison.
"Without further delay, the Digger Rabbit's scent detection can sense Diancie—this way!"
…
Binek, bell tower.
The moonlight penetrated through the glass window, casting a silver glow on the floor.
The mechanical gears in the clock tower creaked, and the attic was filled with miscellaneous items.
The three members of Team Rocket are staring into the eyes of the elegant Princess Diancie.
"We are really lucky, meow~" Meow laughed, "We completed the cadre's mission so easily!"
"You are bandits, right?" Diancie asked.
"We're Team Rocket," Musashi said, "and we're here to keep you safe."
Diancie raised her head and said nobly, "A robber is someone who casually steals other people's important things... I have just learned it!"
"This world is a very complicated meow~" Meow Meow shook his finger.
"A simple girl like you should stay here and be protected by us," said Kojiro.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go back now."
Diancie moved lightly, passing through the group of three and said gracefully, "I wish you good health."
"I can't let you go now." Kojiro stood in front of Diancie.
"Let's make some diamonds before the cadres come, meow~" Meow Meow rubbed his hands and smiled.
“Diamond? So you brought me here just to make diamonds.” Diancie looked around.
"That's right." Musashi said with his hands on his hips, "With diamonds, you can buy a big villa, a big mansion, and become a female star!"
"I can exchange it for lots of canned fish and gold coins, meow~"
"Okay then~"
Princess Diancie clasped her hands together, and her palms shone brightly. "I will grant you your wish."
The trio looked surprised; they didn't expect Diancie to be so obedient.
Then, large, crystal clear pink diamonds poured out from Diancie's palm, forming a wave of diamonds that lifted up the bodies of the trio.
The light of the diamonds dazzled the trio for a moment, and the unreliable trio rolled and swam in the ocean of diamonds.
Diancie smiled, hopped down the attic steps, took down the crossbar, and opened the door.
The moonlight from outside poured in, illuminating the small staircase. Diancie's round pink diamond shone with the moonlight, and her whole body seemed to be covered with silver gauze.
She raised her ruby-bright eyes and looked at the two uninvited guests who appeared at the door.
A black-haired young man in a casual shirt, and a blue-haired man in a suit.
The two of them looked at Diancie and fell into a speechless silence.
…
Five minutes ago.
Carlos region, Binek town.
As the sky darkened, the lights came on.
The battle festival on the street is still going on and it is very lively.
Gengar was floating beside Lu Ye, and he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the "baby cup".
"Let's focus on the investigation mission, Mr. Lu." Daigo saw through his little thoughts.
"Sorry, it's professional custom."
Lu Ye coughed dryly, took out his cell phone and took a look, which showed that the trio was located in the direction of the town's clock tower.
I looked up again. The clock tower was right in front of the square. Its Gothic spire soared into the night sky and was easy to spot.
"The Pokémon I'll see later..." Lu Ye pondered for a moment, "Daigo-san, please be prepared and don't be surprised!"
Daigo looked a little surprised.
As the champion of Hoenn, you have traveled all over the world, what Pokémon have you not seen
I've even seen the dream in the courtyard... Daigo thought that the experiences he had with Mr. Lu had helped him develop excellent psychological qualities.
I am no longer surprised by the mythical beasts and fantasy beasts around Teacher Lu.
The two approached the clock tower, and Lu Ye fell into deep thought.
Xerneas's "Fairy Aura" has the effect of strengthening fairy energy and enhancing vitality.
His exclusive move is called "Earth Control", which greatly enhances his speed, special attack, and special defense by absorbing the fairy energy in the aura.
This is somewhat similar to the effect of the Alpaca's Fairy Slate...
After all, alpacas use stone slabs to absorb energy and strengthen themselves.
