Mind Master of the Elf World

Chapter 635 Diancie's Request (Part 2, please vote!)
"Genga?"

Gengar glanced at the two people opposite him, as well as Felfin and Greninja, and then at Diancie, who was slowly backing away with a look of fear on her face.

It gently scratched its head.

are friends?
friend?

Young Gilas "realized" and raised his little hand to wave at them.

"Yo-yo!"

Hello everyone!

Lail and Flame didn't understand what was going on with Gengar and Larvitar, but
"They're here to arrest me!" Tianxi shouted immediately.

Ok?
Gengar and Larvitar's expressions changed instantly.

Capture Diancie?

This is their "friend," the one that produces rare and precious pink diamonds for them!
But Lyle and Flame were clearly faster.

Do it!

"Fiery Red Fox, Magical Flames!"

"Woo——!!"

The fiery red fox, covered in red and yellow fur, let out a low groan, as if chanting a spell. It gently waved the flaming branch in its hand, or rather, its magic wand, creating a circle of flames. Immediately, a ball of flames imbued with strange power burst forth.

"Greninja Frog, Water Shuriken!"

Perched atop a treetop, Greninja wore a cool expression. With a wave of its hands, several blue-glowing water shuriken appeared in its grasp, which it hurled at Larvitar without hesitation.

"Watch out!" Tianxi exclaimed immediately.

As the attack approached, Gengar and Larvitar reacted quite quickly, even without Jinghe's command.

"Yo-yo!"

Young Gilas stomped on the ground, and with a loud "boom," numerous cracks appeared on the ground, and pieces of rock of varying sizes shot up, densely forming a rock wall.

bang bang bang-

Greninja's Water Shuriken landed on the crumbling rocks, shattering the fragments even further, but failed to hit Larva.

at the same time.

Gengar let out a sinister laugh, making a strange noise, and black mist surged from its body, making the already dim forest even darker.

At the same time, a black sphere appeared in the black mist, like a black hole. The magical flames shot out by the Demon Fire Red Fox disappeared into it in an instant!

this.
Both Lyle and Flim were surprised to see this.

These two Pokémon, which appeared out of nowhere, seem to be quite powerful.
"Yo-yo! (Д)σ"

You saw it, they started it!
Young Gilas looked at Diancie, then pointed to Lyle and Greninja in the tree.

Upon hearing this, Diancie was taken aback and nodded subconsciously.

"Uh-huh."

Having found a "witness," young Kira was immediately motivated.

It didn't get a chance to participate in the last battle against the castle, and it was just feeling frustrated because it hadn't had enough fun, when someone delivered itself to its doorstep!

Young Gilas's gaze was fixed intently on Greninja.

For some reason, Lyle's Greninja suddenly felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Larva.

Moreover, the black mist that spread around it and the disappearance of Gengar made it quite uneasy.

Greninja wasn't the only one who felt this way; Lyle and Flame felt the same way. The magical flames of the Fiery Fox were "devoured" just like that.

“Join forces!” Flame said in a deep voice.

Lyle wisely did not refuse, "Take care of them first, then capture Diancie!"

at this time.

"Gengar~(▼皿▼)" Gengar suddenly appeared between Frieza and Wraithra, peeking out from behind them.

You're now surrounded by the two of us!
The chilling feeling, coupled with their sudden appearance, caused Flim and the fiery red fox to change their expressions drastically.

"Fire Fox!" Flame exclaimed hastily.

"Woo!"

Without Frieza's command, Fiery Fox reacted immediately, its entire body swirling with psychic energy, unleashing a mental shockwave that combined spiritual power towards Gengar beside it.

puff--

however.

Gengar, however, vanished like a bubble.

fake?

at the same time.

The Greninja on the treetop curled its scarf-like tongue and spat a water gun at Larva. Then, a few white lights appeared on its body, and it rushed towards Larva at an extremely fast speed.

boom! !

The water gun was once again blocked by the rocks that Eurydice had kicked up.

But Greninja, with its lightning speed, arrived beside Larva, where there were no rocks to block its way.

Greninja, with a cold expression, glanced at Larvitar while simultaneously holding two large water shuriken in its hands, which it hurled at Larvitar's side with incredible speed.

Bang! Bang!
A large water shuriken grazed across Young Gilas's petite body.

A hint of smugness flickered in Greninja's eyes.

It's not like it hasn't seen Larvitar before; it's four times weak to Water, so as long as the attack isn't blocked and hits accurately.
But next second.

The smugness in the eyes of the Greninja was replaced by astonishment.

I saw.

Where its water shuriken slashed, a metallic sheen appeared on Young Gilas's body.

Iron Wall?

So hard?
"Yo-yo!"

Ouch!!

Young Gilas cried out in pain, baring his teeth in pain.

Although it looks like it's blocked by an iron wall, the pain is real!

but
"Yo-yo!"

I've got you!
A hint of cunning appeared in Young Kiras's seemingly innocent eyes.

At this moment, Greninja seemed to realize something. It looked down and found that its tongue had been grabbed by Larvitar!
when? !

"Yo-yo!!"

Power!!
Dance of Dragons!
With the previous rocks obscuring the view, Young Gilas's Dragon Dance has been amplified!
It grabbed the Greninja's tongue and then slammed it against the ground on the other side.

boom! !

The seemingly small baby Giras suddenly unleashed a power that Greninja could hardly imagine, slamming it heavily to the ground.

And without hesitation, the little guy lifted his foot again and slammed it down heavily.

Boom——

The ground suddenly trembled, and a huge crack spread rapidly from beneath Young Gilas's feet, heading straight for the Greninja lying on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Lyle's pupils contracted sharply.

Earth cracks? !
He hurriedly shouted:

"Koga Ninja!"

Greninja, which had fallen to the ground, hurriedly tried to get up, but its tongue was still being held by Larva and it couldn't break free.

next moment.

Boom! ! !

The crack, brimming with dense Ground-type energy, completely "swallowed" Greninja.

Lyle, who witnessed the whole thing, stood on the tree, her eyes twitching.

What the hell is that Young Kira?

Tyranitar wearing Youngkiras's skin?

Despite being in the form of a cub, it can display such strength.
While he, Lyle, may not be considered a particularly powerful Pokémon hunter, he is quite famous in the Kalos region. He dares not say anything about others, but he is not afraid of even some of the Gym Leaders in the Kalos region.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had any impure thoughts about Diancie.

But his star ace, Greninja, despite having a type advantage, was actually taught a lesson by a Larvitar?
This outcome far exceeded his expectations.

and many more!

Lailte suddenly realized, where is Flame?

Didn't we agree to fight together?

Lailt abruptly turned his head to look in the direction of Frim and the Red Fox, only to find that the place where they had been was now completely dark, with nothing left.
Ok?
What about people?

Just then, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind Lyle.

"Genga?"

Are you looking for them?

Bang - Bang -

Then, Flame and the Red Fox were thrown out of the black mist and fell to the ground, already incapacitated.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lyle's pupils constricted.

As well-known Pokémon hunters, Lyle and Flame are sworn enemies. They have clashed many times and are quite familiar with each other's strength.

But to his surprise, the troublesome Frim was subdued without making a fuss.
This Gengar, this baby Jiraiya... what exactly are these two Pokémon?
Before the flash of many thoughts could finish, Lylet felt his mind become extremely chaotic, and his eyelids began to droop.

Hypnosis?
The next second, Lyle fell straight down from the tree and landed on the ground, along with Flame and the Red Fox.

clap clap-

Gengar bared its teeth and clapped its hands as it emerged from the black mist. The thick fog that had surrounded it gradually dissipated, turning into wisps of mist that returned to its body.

nailed it.

I thought he was some big shot, but it turns out... that's all?
Young Giras clapped its hands, mimicking Gengar, but finding that unsatisfying, it clapped its hands towards the ground.
Ho!

Diancie stared blankly at Gengar and Baby Giras, who seemed completely unaffected. She opened her mouth, but couldn't think of anything to say.

I just think these two Pokémon are incredibly strong.

If they act as guards, it should be easier and safer to find Xerneas, right?

"Genga~"

Gengar waved its hand, and several wisps of black mist were drawn from its body, wrapping around Lyleth, Flame, Felfin, and Greninja on the ground.

Let's go find Jinghe.

Young Gilas moved a stone over and carefully covered the crack in the rock, patting it tightly shut.

Don't let someone else snatch it up when you come to dig it up later.

"Regie Elech, stop the shock, it's numb."

Inside the tent, Jinghe murmured to herself.

"Reggie?"

Regigi looked bewildered, glancing left and right before shrugging his shoulders.

I didn't use any electricity.
Jing He slowly woke up from her sleep, took a cherry from her pocket, took a bite, wiped her face, sat up, and said rather irritably:
"Gengar!"

Gengar, who was lying next to Jinghe and was about to continue licking her, suddenly stood up, put his hands on his hips, pouted and whistled, while one of his feet kept swinging, giving off an expression that said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Jing He shook his head, not wanting to say anything more about it; he was already used to it.

There's just one thing I don't quite understand.

I've been licked by Gengar for so long, almost a year now, how come I haven't developed any resistance yet?
With his current physical condition and the addition of waveguide technology, he can hardly be considered an ordinary person, right?

Jinghe lifted the tent flap and glanced outside. The moon hung in the west, and the sun in the east had not yet risen, only a faint purple haze.

I picked up the Rotom Pokédex again and checked the time.

Well, it's four in the morning.

"You'd better have something on your mind." Jing He said irritably as she put on her clothes, bit into a cherry, and walked out of the tent.

Even so, Jinghe understood Gengar's nature; he would never wake him up at this time unless something really happened.

When it stepped out of the tent, it was astonished by what it saw.

diamond!

A pile of diamonds!
They were of varying sizes and irregular shapes, but without a doubt they were all diamonds. If piled up, they would be almost as tall as the Martial Arts Master, more than what he had bought from Daigo last time.

Beside the pile of diamonds, Young Kiras stood with his arms crossed and legs crossed, looking smug.

"You guys... went to rob a diamond mining country?" Jing He asked, taking down a half-eaten cherry.

"No, no, no, um. It's not diamonds from the diamond mining country."

Just then, a soft, weak voice came from the side.

Follow the sound.

"Tianxi?" Jing He's eyes widened slightly.

He immediately turned to Larvitar and Gengar, asking, "You two really went to rob the Diamond Kingdom?"

Even the Diamond Princess Diancie has been kidnapped?
"Gengga~ Gengga~"

Gengar quickly pointed behind the pile of diamonds.

With a sense of doubt, Jing He walked around the pile of diamonds and saw Lyle and Freym bound hand and foot.

"They are"

Looking at their expressions, Jing He slowly frowned, feeling a bit serious.

Then, Gengar and Larva each spoke incoherently about what they had experienced.

Although their explanations were a bit disorganized, Jinghe managed to piece together the general idea and understand the basic process.

Last night, Gengar and Larvitar went out to mine for ore and accidentally stumbled upon a diamond vein. They then encountered Diancie, who was being hunted, along with two pursuers. Gengar and Larvitar helped Diancie defeat the two pursuers.

Seeing Gengar sticking out its tongue and throwing out dark shurikens around its neck, Jing He's lips twitched slightly.

This pose is so convincing that any Pokémon fan would know who it's impersonating.

Greninja!

Add to that Young Gilas pretending to breathe fire while holding a branch, and the two people on the ground.
"Oh, it's them." Jing He squatted down in front of the two and recognized them.

Isn't this the same pair of thieves who captured Diancie in the theatrical film "Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction," trying to capture her and make her create diamonds?

Even later, while pursuing Diancie, he accidentally stumbled into the sleeping place of Yveltal's "Cocoon of Destruction," awakening Yveltal.

However, when the story ended, the two seemed to have reformed and even became a couple, opening a cosplay costume store together.

Lyle and Flemm had regained their senses, and when they saw that the person who came out of the tent was none other than Teacher Jinghe, they knew they were in trouble.

The two exchanged a glance. They both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

It was Teacher Jinghe!

They should have thought of it sooner, really, they should have thought of it when they encountered such a powerful Gengar.

Teacher Jinghe!
It's said that he has at least the strength of a Heavenly King, and could even be compared to a champion!

It's over.

However, their mouths were also sealed, and they could only make "woo-woo" sounds.

Jing He smiled slightly, took out the identification of an Interpol Superintendent from his clothes, and said:

"Excuse me, you two are under arrest."

Lyle and Flemm hung their heads dejectedly, resigned to their fate.

There's no way to fight back; we can't possibly win. We're already tied up, so we don't even have a chance to fight.

We'll have Officer Jenny take them back later.

However, Jinghe remembered that in the movie "Dianci and the Cocoon of Destruction", there was a group of powerful Pokémon hunters who were even more powerful than the two people in front of him, and they also possessed knowledge.

They seem to be a father and daughter.

Knowing that Diancie was not yet able to condense a true diamond, they even protected her from being captured by Leter and Flame until Diancie met Xerneas and believed that she was "mature" before they made their move.

I just don't know where that father and daughter are now.

Because they have a stealth spaceship, it's not so easy to find.

“Gengar, let them get some more sleep,” Jinghe said.

"Genga~"

With a casual wave of his hand, Gengar quickly put the two people shrouded in black mist back into a deep sleep.

Anyway.
"Let's go dig for diamonds!" Jinghe said excitedly, pulling a pickaxe out of Gengar's mouth.

God knows how much he worried about feeding Young Gilas.

People say that raising a Pokémon at the Elite Four level requires not only a lot of effort and patience, but also at least 50 million League Coins.

We need more pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

After all, pseudo-legendary Pokémon are known for their "late blooming," and it is only after they are trained to their full form that they experience a surge in power and truly deserve the title of "pseudo-legendary."

Ke Jinghe has poured countless resources into raising just one unevolved cub, Young Gilas.

This doesn't even include what they usually dig themselves; they dig for ore wherever they go.

Not to mention top-tier resources like fragments of earthstone slabs and soil stones, which cannot be bought with money.

One of Jinghe's purposes in coming to the Carlos region was to find a small diamond vein to provide some food for the young kiras and comfort our meager wallets.

I can't believe I actually found it!

Leaving Reginald to guard the two unconscious men, Jinghe carried a pickaxe and led the group of kids to mine!
Today, I'm going to be a gold miner—no, a diamond miner!
Led by Gengar and Larvitar, Jinghe and his group quickly found the passage leading to the underground diamond mine and entered it.

"Rotom, turn on the lights, full power!"

"Understood, Rotom!"

sizzle-

With a slight surge of electricity, the lights illuminated a small portion of the underground cavern.

As the light appeared, the originally dim underground mine suddenly became bright. Countless diamonds on the stone pillars and walls sparkled under the light, making it seem as if one had entered a palace.

Looking at the cave full of diamonds, all the Pokémon, including Jinghe, had expressions that changed.
🇧🇷
"We've struck it rich!"

Jinghe murmured softly.

"哓GA!"

Gengar waved its hand.

Do it!

The little ones immediately sprang into action.

Gengar stirred up the black mist, Ninetales unleashed its psychic powers, and Greatsmith swung his giant hammer.

Dragonite and Urshifu have no special skills, but they have great strength. They can pry things up with their bare hands, and their efficiency is not low.

The Azure Flame Blade Demon's figure flickered inside the cave, and diamonds of varying sizes fell one after another.

Young Kiras are the most straightforward, the most savage, but also the most exhilarating.

It pawed directly at a rock face and began to gnaw at it with its teeth, digging and eating as it went, much like someone picking strawberries in a strawberry garden.

"Nimi~"

Bictini revealed herself, sitting on Jinghe's shoulder, cheering everyone on, and even adding a boost or two of energy to motivate the "mining gang".

Tianxi also came along, and was somewhat dumbfounded when she saw the group of people who looked like "bandits".

You mean you're digging for diamonds, fine, but why are you also digging for soil and rocks? Are you... desperate for money?
"Ahem." Only then did Jing He remember that there was a Diamond Princess beside her.

"Tianxi, what do you think of this diamond mine?" Jinghe asked.

Diancie snapped out of her daze, glanced at the diamonds that had been pulled off, and gently shook her head.

"A small village."

"A small village?"

I'll test it.

So many diamonds, yet for Diancie, it's just a small village?
"According to the records, there should have been more than twenty small diamonds living here," Tianxi said softly.

As she spoke, she picked up a diamond from the ground, “But these diamonds have a rough and grayish surface, obviously they haven’t been polished in a long time, and they are the worst quality diamonds I’ve ever seen.”

Gee.
Jinghe smacked her lips.

Poor quality
For Diancie, or rather for Pokémon like Diamond, diamonds need to be polished, whether they are left behind or on their bodies.

If a diamond is not polished, it will become rough, as if it is covered with a layer of dust, and it will not be bright or beautiful. This is how they perceive the quality of a diamond.

But for Jinghe
Whether the diamonds are shiny or not doesn't matter; they're all thrown into Young Gilas's mouth anyway, chewed and digested, and end up being the same.

However, Jinghe also noticed the content of Tianxi's words.

"A dozen or so small diamonds?"

Now, this diamond mine is completely devoid of even a tiny diamond, and it's clear that it hasn't been inhabited for a very long time. Otherwise, Jinghe wouldn't have allowed the little guys to "destroy" other Pokémon's homes like this.

This is also why he was quite excited.

I originally thought that finding a small diamond vein and exchanging some power blocks for diamonds would be enough, but I unexpectedly stumbled upon an abandoned vein where I could take everything.
It's just a mystery how much time it took to produce so many diamonds from those twenty-odd small diamonds.

It should take at least a hundred years, right?

Diancie's expression did not soften.

"If no new small diamonds are born, this will happen over time."

In theory, even small diamonds have a lifespan limit, after all, they are a kind of living thing, even if they are mineral-based living things.

Although the lifespan of a tiny diamond is certainly longer than that of a human, in the face of the true flow of time, they are all ultimately the same; the only difference is when.

It's not just this "village" of tiny diamonds; the diamond-producing country where it is located is the same.

After a moment of dejection, Tianxi suddenly realized something, looked at Jing He, and hurriedly said:
"Can...can we not dig them all up?"

"Huh?" Jing He was taken aback.

Tianxi lowered her head slightly, "These diamonds, after hundreds or thousands of years, or perhaps, new smaller diamonds will be born."

Besides the "Eternal Crystal" from diamond-mining countries, wild small diamonds are born in this way.

If it's all dug up, there will be no more small diamonds to be found here.

"And it's also prone to collapse."

Jinghe suddenly realized.

One should not be reckless in doing things.

Then, with a serious expression, he turned to his little ones and called out:
"Don't dig it all up, let's dig up half of it!"

"Genga?"

Gengar and the other little guys turned around together, looking puzzled.

So many diamonds.
However, no one questioned Jinghe's words.

Even at 50%, that's already a lot.

Tianxi visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her gaze towards Jinghe became friendly once again.

It had just noticed the expressions on Jinghe and Young Gilas's faces when faced with these diamonds; they clearly wanted them.

But now, giving up halfway is just giving up halfway.
Yes, he's a good person.

That.
Diancie looked hopeful and asked, "They said you can help me master my powers and find Xerneas? Can you help me?"

Ok?
What did they say?
Jinghe looked at Geng Gui, her eyes half-closed.

Is that chubby little purple-skinned kid spouting nonsense again?
Seemingly sensing Jinghe's gaze, Gengar's spikes stood up, but instead of turning around, it ran deeper to dig for diamonds.

Jing He shook her head.

But this is Diancie, a Pokémon, seeking help.
"Is it not okay?" When she saw Jing He shake his head, Tianxi thought he had refused and became a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Jinghe smiled and said, "I didn't say it's impossible, it's just that I'm not sure either."

"Uncertain?" A glimmer of hope returned to Diancie's eyes, mixed with a hint of doubt.

“I don’t know if I can help you control your power,” Jing He said gently. “As for Xerneas, that’s really not up to me.”

We're not Ash Ketchum, you can't just say you'll help Diancie find Xerneas and expect it to actually happen. It all depends on luck.

Moreover.

The movie proves that Diancie's ability to create the "Eternal Crystal" has little to do with whether or not she meets Xerneas. She simply can't find the trick and can't control her own power, which is why she has never been able to condense the "Eternal Crystal".

To put it in a more "anime-like" or "chuunibyou" way, Diancie is simply unable to find what she truly wants to protect.

It strives only because it is the princess of the diamond-mining nation, bearing a responsibility, and it is this responsibility that drives it to search for Xernias.

Active versus passive, that's the difference.

"Of course, if you'd like, you can try observing how our little ones control their powers."

Can't find Xerneas?
This disappointed Tianxi a little.

But considering the strength that Gengar and Larvitar had previously displayed...
To be able to wield such power with such ease must require considerable skill in "mastering power," right?

Tianxi was smitten.

Finally, it nodded.

"it is good!"

Jinghe smiled.

Diancie's existence is likely to bring up some issues.

However, it cannot be denied that it also brings some benefits.

For example, Jinghe is looking for a Pokémon hunter.

For example, there are small diamond "villages" like the one they are in now, scattered throughout the Carlos region.

Even though not every single one is uninhabited, and not all of them can be completely excavated, the sheer number of them is overwhelming.

If we find three or four such "villages", I estimate that Young Gilas will no longer need to worry about food.

If Jinghe could find seven or eight, he would accept it even if Larvitar immediately evolved into Tyranitar, without having to worry too much about food.

As for the problems caused by Diancie...
Come on, come on.

It's not like Hoopa, where a whole bunch of them come at once. At most, it's just one Yveltal that's a little harder to deal with.

Yveltal will appear, and Xerneas will inevitably appear as well; just hold on for a while.

Anyway
Having one more Reggie is one more, having one more Diancie is also one more.

Jinghe isn't really that afraid of things now.

Two flowers bloom.

Above Jing He and his group's camp, an invisible spaceship appeared near the clouds. Inside the spaceship were a middle-aged man and a young girl.

The father and daughter stared at the two unconscious figures, Lailt and Freym, bound to the ground on the big screen, and fell into deep thought.

“Them.” The girl, Millie Steel, pointed to the big screen.

The middle-aged man, Algais Steele, was also looking at the screen, but his fingers secretly avoided the girl's gaze and reached for a box of chocolates on the table.

However, Arges's little tricks were seen through by his daughter.

boom!
Milis glanced at her father, who was about to sneak a bite of chocolate, then slammed her hand on the table, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes behind her glasses.

Argais immediately withdrew his hand, chuckled awkwardly, and said, "They, cough, it seems they've been arrested?"

Milis adjusted her glasses. "I was originally planning to have them come and give Diancie some training, but now look what's happened."

"But they're both quite strong, so who captured them?" Argais asked, puzzled.

Their timing was somewhat opportune; only Lyle, Freym, and a tent remained in the camp.

They're easy to catch since no one's watching them.

"Should we save them?" Argais asked, looking at his daughter, Milis.

These two are somewhat useful; they can attract attention on the surface.

Milis's gaze swept across the screen, seemingly to confirm that no one was really watching over it.

"save"

She had barely opened her mouth, before she could finish speaking, when Millis's pupils suddenly contracted as she saw a golden figure appear in the tent. Immediately afterward, the entire screen became distorted and blurred.

What Pokémon is that?!
They, as master thieves, had never seen this before.

Could it be... a legendary Pokémon?
They were able to interfere with their spaceship even from such a great distance.

hum - hum - hum -

A red alarm immediately sounded inside the spacecraft, indicating that there were problems with the spacecraft's signals and wiring.

"Let's think of another way, but first we have to retreat!"

Argais made a decision immediately.

Sudden——

The spaceship disappeared into the clouds instantly, but because it was in stealth mode, nothing changed, only a few clouds swayed.

"Reggie?"

Below, Reggie Elech looked up and gently scratched his head.

what's the situation?
It had just gone into the tent to see if there were any energy cubes to eat when it suddenly felt a tiny electric current rising in the air. It thought it was about to thunder and was just about to come out for a feast.

Then that feeling disappeared immediately.
"Ellage"

Somewhat uninterested, Regillechi brought over a small stool, rested his chin on it, and sat down in front of Lyleth and Freym.

Jinghe had it watch over the two of them, then...
Ok.

Watching
