Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 444 The Soul-Stealing Eye's Exclusive Move "Diamond Gaze"! "Fairy Diamond Armor"?! I've become an Armored Warrior?!

"Dianci..."

Ye Yinchuan's eyes lit up slightly, and his gaze toward Diancie revealed excitement and joy.

"Thank you for helping me complete the ceremony and bringing me into this world, Ho-Oh's messenger. My growth and the safety of the Diamond Kingdom will also depend on your assistance... I will do everything in my power to repay your kindness!"

When Ye Yinchuan heard this voice in his mind, he immediately realized that it was not a voice he heard, but rather a message directly conveyed to him by Diancie...

Ye Yinchuan suddenly remembered that Diancie was also one of the talking Pokémon. To be more precise, Diancie had the ability to communicate directly with others, because whether in the anime or in reality, Diancie's mouth did not move when she "spoke".

However, according to Diancie, it already possessed a certain level of consciousness before it hatched. Otherwise, how would it know that it was Diancie who helped it complete the ritual? Diancie even knew everything about the Gem Kingdom.

Clearly, Diancie's demeanor is nothing like that of a newly hatched Pokémon; her innocence and naivety are quite low...

"pity."

Ye Yinchuan muttered something to himself, almost imperceptibly.

A-Jie, standing behind him, gave him a slightly strange look, as if to say, "What are you regretting? Everyone can hear what you're up to!"

“Mr. Kirby, please allow me to call you that. From now on, you are my friend and my benefactor. If there is anything you need, please don’t hesitate to ask.”

Hearing Diancie's words, Ye Yinchuan was even more certain of his suspicions: Diancie was the princess of the Gem Kingdom, and it seemed she possessed authority at the level of a divine beast...

Such a status is quite prestigious in the Pokémon world. They mentioned friends and benefactors, but didn't mention the relationship between the trainer and the Pokémon at all...

The meaning is obvious.

It's obviously unrealistic for him to want to keep Diancie as his Pokémon forever.

However, there's nothing to complain about, since in the anime, Ash's relationship with various mythical and legendary Pokémon is just that of friends.

The key point is that even if you don't become Diancie's trainer, apart from some nominal differences, there is actually no difference.

First of all, before Diancie fully matures and reclaims the corrupted Gem Kingdom, I need to nurture Diancie. Not only will Diancie stay by my side, but during this time, we will spend time together, accompany each other, train, and fight side by side...

It can only be said that he has the ability of a trainer, but not the title...

But since I'm not losing out, why do I need a title?
Secondly, the reason why it's said that one wouldn't suffer a loss is that even if Diancie grows up and returns to her Ruby Country, as her benefactor and friend, one should theoretically be able to freely take the resources of the Ruby Country, and even the Pokémon...

It can even use its "Elf Paradise" connection function to make the Gem Kingdom a point of connection between "Elf Paradise" and reality.

In theory, whenever you really need Diancie, you can summon her through "Elf Paradise" at any time.

If I can't be a trainer, then I can be a summoner, right?

"Mr. Kirby, please put me down first. This position feels a bit inappropriate."

Diancie is a princess of the Gem Kingdom, yet she is being held up in mid-air by Ye Yinchuan like a little girl, which is indeed unbecoming of her status.

Ye Yinchuan put it down.

Immediately afterwards, Diancie's gaze fell on the Soul-Eyed figure beside her:
"Soulsnatcher, your clan has paid and sacrificed too much for the Jewel Kingdom, and your mother made a great contribution by bringing Mr. Kirby to our Jewel Kingdom. You deserve to be blessed!"

Hearing these words, Ye Yinchuan's heart stirred. If Diancie couldn't become his Pokémon, then Sableye was truly his. If it could receive Diancie's blessing, its strength would definitely reach a new level...

Just by receiving this blessing, its level is already different from that of ordinary soul-stealing eyes!

"Gah!"

Although somewhat bewildered, the Soul-Hooking Eyes still approached Di'anxi, bowing slightly with its head lowered, like a hero receiving a princess's investiture...

Diancie pointed, and a very special fairy-type energy condensed in the surrounding air, converging towards the red gem on Sableye's chest. The gem became even more dazzling, and the energy within it contained a surging power beneath its calm surface.

The two gem-like eyes of the Soul-Stealing Eye also emitted light, as if the entire thing had been enhanced.

"Soul Reaver and I both received Diancie's blessing, what does that mean? Birds of a feather flock together, don't they?"

Ye Yinchuan muttered to himself, still unsure whether the effect of Diancie's Blessing was any different on the Soul-Hooking Eye and on himself.

Meanwhile, Ah-Jie, who was wearing sunglasses behind him, was already sweating slightly. Was this young man some kind of Pokémon Succubus? How could he receive a blessing just by encountering a legendary Pokémon?

If the blessings on Ye Yinchuan could be displayed in the status bar like buffs in a game, he would have almost accumulated a whole row of them by now!

It would be a lie for Ah Jie to say he wasn't envious. For ordinary people, encountering a mythical beast is an incredibly lucky thing, one in ten thousand. Usually, encountering a mythical beast will bring some benefit; the term "taking advantage" can be used to describe it very vividly...

The blessing is a special blessing that the mythical beast bestows on its own initiative, which is much more than ordinary benefits.

After bestowing the blessing upon the Soul Reaper, Diancie swayed slightly, clearly indicating that the two consecutive blessings had taken a toll on her health.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work."

Having received the benefit, Ye Yinchuan naturally wanted to curry favor. He took out some berries from his backpack that could replenish the energy of Fairy-type Pokémon, and while glancing at A-Jie, he also handed him one.

As we all know, some kinds of tree fruits have specific effects on humans, and although the effects may not be very good, eating them is definitely beneficial.

"Thank you, thank you..."

A-Jie was already flattered. He had previously said he would help his Charizard Mega Evolve, and now he was casually giving him a rare Berry. What did A-Jie do to deserve this?
At this moment, A-Jie was a little afraid to let Ye Yinchuan call him Brother Jie anymore; he was the one who should be calling him Brother!
Even though I'm a stronger trainer, I feel like I'm clinging to a powerful figure. Is this what it means to be Ho-Oh's messenger? ... That's amazing!

Ye Yinchuan was unaware that his casual sharing could have such a psychological impact on A-Jie.

After all, as long as he had enough influence, he could plant whatever kind of fruit he wanted in "Elf Paradise," and as many as he wanted...

"Pokémon Paradise" truly lives up to its name; it is a utopia that truly belongs to Pokémon!

"Dianci, may I ask about the effects of your blessing?"

Ye Yinchuan could feel that he already possessed that special power within his body... but he still couldn't clearly confirm how to use this power or what its function was.

"Well... Mr. Kirby, I can't be sure either, since everyone's constitution is different."

"Tianxi said somewhat awkwardly."

Upon hearing what Tianxi said, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but scratch the scalp next to his temple.

Diancie seems a bit experienced, yet also a bit of a novice; I have no idea what her situation is.

"However, you can try to concentrate your attention and mobilize the power within your body. As long as you are focused and sincere enough, you will definitely be able to unleash that power!"

Upon hearing Diancie's words, which were half encouraging and half guiding, Ye Yinchuan nodded and immediately began to try to concentrate.

After all, he was also someone blessed by many divine beasts, and the principles of blessing should be roughly the same. Being able to mobilize the power of other blessings meant he could also mobilize the blessing of Tianxi.

"Soul-stealing eyes, you should try it too."

Ye Yinchuan didn't forget to remind his Pokémon.

His gaze swept over the Soul-Hooking Eyes panel, where a corresponding trait had indeed appeared, and its effect was immediately apparent.

But Ye Yinchuan didn't intend to say more.

If you really can't activate the Soul-Snatching Eye on your own, then try to guide it further on your own!
[Trait: Diancie's Blessing]

[This Sableye received Diancie's blessing, resulting in an overall increase in its strength and a significant boost in its Fairy-type potential. It can learn more Fairy-type moves and activate its exclusive blessed move, "Diamond Gaze," which emits special energy with its gaze and compresses carbon elements in the air into diamonds to restrict and seal enemies...]

Looking at this blessing, Ye Yinchuan was secretly shocked; the effect was undeniably powerful.

In particular, it comes with a unique move that doesn't exist in the original work. However, according to the official setting, Diancie herself has the ability to compress carbon elements in the air into diamonds, so this unique move isn't too outrageous. It even combines with the Sableye's own vision-type abilities, creating a surprisingly harmonious beauty...

"So, in addition to mind control techniques, the Soul-Hooking Eye now has physical control techniques, and it can even create diamonds directly?"

Ye Yinchuan didn't know if the diamonds he produced were in a stable state. If they were, wouldn't he be able to become a diamond tycoon?

In the anime, Team Rocket wanted to capture Diancie because they were interested in this ability of hers.

If one could produce diamonds indefinitely, it would be equivalent to possessing unlimited wealth...

Ye Yinchuan temporarily disregarded the situation with the Soul-Hooking Eye, as his main task at present was to develop the blessing power within himself. As a human, he couldn't see the panel, making it relatively more difficult to explore.

As Ye Yinchuan focused his mind, he felt the blessing from Diancie within him grow increasingly intense, then reach its peak. The power within him erupted like a volcano, releasing itself impatiently…

Keng!
Ye Yinchuan seemed to hear the sound of metal being formed, but in reality, it was the sound of gemstone molecules rubbing together.

"Is...is this really human? Is this Diancie's blessing?"

Seeing the changes in Ye Yinchuan, A-Jie was utterly shocked.

Suddenly, a layer of uneven diamonds appeared on Ye Yinchuan's body, covering his original skin like armor, protecting him from all sides except for his hair...

This diamond armor fit Ye Yinchuan's body perfectly, and there was no restriction on his joints when he moved. Ye Yinchuan could even jump up and down and perform some difficult moves, such as punching and rolling...

"This……"

Ye Yinchuan clenched his fist, looking at the diamond-encrusted gloves covering his hands, somewhat bewildered.
"Is Diancie's blessing really that powerful? Have I turned into an armored hero? Or rather, a Kamen Rider?"

Looking at his reflection on the surrounding walls, although he couldn't see it clearly, he could still feel that it was very stylish. This armor was not only completely fitted to his body, but also had elements and design features of Diancie. For example, in addition to most of the diamond area, there were also gold decorations. There were also some crown-like pointed structures on his body, and behind him were diamond pillars like Diancie's two "twin tails", which spread out like wings or horns, making him very cool.

The only downside might be that this pink diamond armor set is a bit too girly, giving off a slightly Sailor Moon vibe...

But from another perspective, it can also be interpreted as incredibly cool and flamboyant.

There's a saying that goes, "A man doesn't have to be handsome or rich, but he must be charming!"
What's more, Ye Yinchuan is handsome, rich, and flamboyant.

That's really flamboyant!
"Pfft! Mr. Kirby's blessing ability is truly extraordinary! So cool!"

Tianxi seemed to find Ye Yinchuan's blessing ability very interesting, and couldn't help but chuckle.

But Ye Yinchuan always felt that the other person's "pfft" was a mockery of him, a grown man, for wearing such pink!

So what? Pink is only for macho men!

Ye Yinchuan quickly withdrew this power.

Diancie's blessing is somewhat exaggerated, but it's quite practical for trainers. After all, trainers are different from Pokémon; they don't have bodies of steel or tenacious vitality. Sometimes, the aftershocks of battles between high-level Pokémon can pose a fatal threat to human trainers...

But with Diancie's blessing, he now possessed a very powerful means of survival. Ye Yinchuan could sense that this set of diamond armor had extremely strong resistance to both physical and special attacks...

Its defensive capabilities are equivalent to Diancie herself, but of course, they are also affected by the trainer's own energy or mental strength.

"Ho-Oh's blessing gave me extra life and purifying fire, Celebi's blessing gave me eyes that can see the past, and Diancie's blessing gave me an impregnable defense..."

Ye Yinchuan murmured to himself.

He felt like he was becoming more and more like a true newbie...

Especially, don't forget that Diancie's diamond armor isn't just for defense. After all, force is reciprocal; if you were wearing this armor, you could unleash a powerful punch or even a flying kick...

So, is it possible to fight against powerful Pokémon with a mortal body?

As for ordinary humans, they are even less of a match for him...

Perhaps one day, Ye Yinchuan will be able to take action himself. If this Pokémon is difficult to tame using conventional methods, he will have some martial arts skills to rely on!
