Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 445 Exclusive Skill "Diamond Storm"? A God-tier Skill for Team Battles! Skill Point Allocation, Diancie, where are your limits?!

After hatching Diancie, Ye Yinchuan put it into a Poké Ball he had prepared in advance and left the Pokémon Center with it.

To be more precise, Ye Yinchuan's backpack was also stuffed with Poké Balls, all of them small diamond Poké Balls. Although these small diamonds were collected by the authorities from various places, after meeting Dianxi, they decided to follow him wholeheartedly...

Following the diamond princess, Diancie, is an instinct etched into the genes of Little Diamond.

As for A-Jie, Ye Yinchuan offered to help his Charizard Mega Evolve. As for the timing, Ye Yinchuan would have to contact him. Also, because of A-Jie's special status, he needed to confirm with his superiors to ensure that the process was in accordance with regulations before he could enjoy the benefits.

Otherwise, from the official perspective, if someone sent as the protector of the Ho-Oh's envoy were to take personal benefits, it could easily lead to chaos.

Upon returning to his residence, Ye Yinchuan immediately released Diancie.

Diancie looked somewhat tired after emerging from the Poké Ball.
"I've been sleeping in the darkness for far too long, and now I have to enter such a dark place again. It's really exhausting!"

From this, Ye Yinchuan was certain that Diancie wasn't a Pokémon that could stay in a Poké Ball, but there was nothing he could do. After all, as the Diamond Princess, Diancie was too dazzling, and if he didn't put her in a Poké Ball, it would probably make headlines tomorrow.

"It'll only be a little while. Take a moment to adjust your mindset, and then get ready to train hard and get stronger, Diancie."

Ye Yinchuan vaguely remembered that in the anime, those little diamonds seemed to call Diancie "Your Highness," but given his status, there was no need to be so polite, right?
Speaking of which, Diancie is now a princess, and when she takes over the entire Jewel Kingdom, she will become the new queen, or empress...

If my identity were placed in some novels, wouldn't I be the Imperial Tutor?

"As expected, Ho-Oh's messenger, you are very confident. According to your human terms, you intend to train me, right? Although I cannot make you my trainer, I will still cooperate with you."

The brief time they spent together allowed Ye Yinchuan and Tianxi to thaw the ice a little. Ye Yinchuan also took the initiative to let Tianxi stop addressing him with such formality, as it sounded somewhat awkward.

"Hmm... Of course I'll train you properly."

Ye Yinchuan suddenly felt that when a Pokémon is too anthropomorphic, has self-awareness, and is also pink and cute and of the opposite sex, training it just feels a little strange...

Is it because my thoughts are impure?

Such a lapse in concentration was only momentary. Ye Yinchuan didn't have any particular interests or hobbies. The key was that Diancie was more like a young girl than Gardevoir, making it impossible for anyone to harbor any evil thoughts.

Before officially beginning the training and development of Diancie, Ye Yinchuan's "discerning eye for treasures" once again retrieved Diancie's data panel—

[Trait: Eternal Diamond (Half-Faded)]

Ye Yinchuan had already sensed something the moment Diancie hatched. He hadn't looked closely before, but he roughly knew that this Diancie's situation was quite special.

Now, by carefully confirming this trait, everything can be connected and verified.

"Eternal Diamond..."

Looking at the name with this special quality, Ye Yinchuan felt a sense of familiarity. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was an introduction to the Eternal Diamond in the Diancie movie.

That is the energy core of the entire gem mining nation. Once it declines, the entire gem mining nation will lose its foundation for survival. And Tianxi's mission is to recreate the eternal diamond...

The plot of this theatrical version also involves two other powerful legendary beasts: Xerneas, known as "God X," and Yveltal, known as "God Y"...

While these two names sound quite sophisticated, they might be a bit awkward and unfamiliar to those who aren't seasoned Pokémon players. However, if you say "X-Deer" and "Y-Bird," some people might be able to picture them.

Xerneas is said to share eternal life, hence it is also known as the legendary Pokémon that governs "life".

As mentioned earlier, although Ho-Oh is also understood by some as a legendary Pokémon that holds the power of "life", it actually represents the weather in the sky and has the ability of "rebirth" and "purification", which is quite different from Xerneas's power of "life".

Furthermore, let's not overlook the fact that Geronias, as a Fairy-type legendary Pokémon, also seems to possess authority related to "fairies." Its "fairy aura" can grant powerful abilities to Fairy-type Pokémon...

Ye Yinchuan vaguely remembered that the plot of the movie was that Diancie went to find Xerneas in order to become stronger and to create the Eternal Diamond.

Xerneas is the god of "life and fairies," while Yveltal is the god of "death and destruction."

If we're talking about Xerneas and Yveltal, then we have to mention Zygarde, the third legendary Pokémon alongside them, also known as the "Z-God." Ye Yinchuan's understanding of Zygarde is that it is the god of "order and balance." It can split into countless clones, and under different degrees of cellular aggregation, it will have different forms. It would be too complicated to explain here...

Ye Yinchuan believed that the XYZ trio must also exist in the real world of Pokémon. He was certain that he would be able to meet them in the future, have the opportunity to experience their mystery and power, and show their information and charm to his fans and audience.

To talk about these things now would be taking a very long way off.

Ye Yinchuan pulled his wandering thoughts back and focused his attention on Diancie before him. [Trait: Eternal Diamond (Semi-decaying)]

The Eternal Diamond is the core and foundation of the Gem Kingdom. Since ancient times, it has been the embodiment of the power and spirit of each generation of Diancie. This Diancie was born through the Eternal Diamond and has a close connection with the true Eternal Diamond itself... Therefore, it possesses the knowledge and experience of countless previous Diancies, and its growth and learning speed far exceeds that of ordinary Diancies. The potential within it is unprecedented in ten thousand years!
However, the Eternal Diamond is in a phase of gradual decline. Although it hasn't completely deteriorated, its influence on Diancie is weakening... If the Eternal Diamond's condition can be improved, Diancie will gain even greater power!

Although this trait is somewhat complex, Ye Yinchuan roughly understood it. In other words, although Diancie originated from a diamond, the true Eternal Diamond is still in the Gem Kingdom. The two are similar to the relationship between the original body and its clone. Or, it can be said that Diancie is a part that split off from the Eternal Diamond.

Therefore, if the Eternal Diamond is strong, then Diancie is also strong.

As for the "Eternal Diamond" trait, its other effects are also quite powerful, ranking among the top of all the traits Ye Yinchuan has ever seen.

In fact, apart from the "Eternal Diamond" trait, Diancie's stats are quite remarkable in other aspects as well.

First, there's Diancie's level. It's already level 29 right after hatching, which is obviously a very special case. However, Diancie is a Mythical Pokémon, making it even more special. It has the appearance of a legendary Pokémon, so being level 29 right after birth is understandable.

Secondly, there's Diancie. Although she's known as the princess of the Diamond Kingdom, she's still genderless. Perhaps the gender of Pokémon is different from the gender defined by humans!
With both its base stats and individual values ​​at S-rank, this Diancie boasts an impressive stat line that most Mythical Pokémon can't achieve. This is one of the reasons why this Diancie is so special.

Then there's Diancie's trait, "Pure Body".

The "Clean Body" ability isn't exclusive to legendary or mythical Pokémon, but its effects are quite good. It grants immunity to status ailments, and in the Pokémon world, there's even a rumor that if a Pokémon with the "Clean Body" ability is powerful enough, it can even become immune to all status conditions, including keeping its body spotless...

That is probably the true meaning of "eternal purity of body," a name that fits this characteristic!

It's unclear what level Diancie's "Pure Body" is at, but Ye Yinchuan believes that its starting point may be the end of a Pokémon's life!

Finally, Diancie's moves are worth paying attention to.

Diancie's moves are currently limited due to her low level, but they are all of high quality. For example, the Rock-type "Original Force" is a very powerful move.

For example, its signature move, "Diamond Storm," is also a unique Rock-type move that can create a storm of diamonds to strike surrounding enemies...

In the game, it boasts a power of 100 points, dealing massive damage while also having a chance to significantly boost one's defense. It's a remarkably powerful move, considering that such high-powered moves typically come with numerous side effects...

But this move not only has no side effects, it can even improve your attributes, it's purely a positive effect!
In reality, Ye Yinchuan estimated that this move would be even more powerful, with a very wide range of attacks, and the diamond storm should be able to last for a period of time, making it devastating. As for the effect of increasing defense, the diamonds themselves are like shields, capable of blocking various attacks and even reflecting them!
When Ye Yinchuan used the "True Knowledge Compendium" to confirm the effect of this move, he couldn't help but show a look of joy. Just as he had thought, the function of "Diamond Storm" was quite powerful. It could not only improve defensive attributes, but diamonds themselves also had protective and reflective functions. Moreover, it was not only aimed at himself, but could also improve and protect teammates...

That's practically a god-tier move in team battles!
"Mr. Kirby? Hasn't it started yet?"

Tianxi tilted its head and looked at Ye Yinchuan. It had rested well, but Ye Yinchuan was still lost in thought, with a smile appearing on its face from time to time.

"Ahem... I'll give you a little help before the formal training begins."

Ye Yinchuan reached out and tentatively placed his hand on Diancie's head. Diancie looked on expectantly, and although she maintained the dignity of a princess, she ultimately did not resist.

It believed that Ye Yinchuan would not harm it.

Ye Yinchuan activated his exclusive ability, "Super Influence," in an attempt to help Tianxi gain more points.

"Tianci, let me see where your individual stats are at their limit!"

Ye Yinchuan had already stat-boosted his Pokémon. Currently, his Pokémon's Individual Values ​​(IVs) are mostly S-rank, above 190 points. And once they reach 190 points, the Influence Points required increase exponentially...

It seems that 200 points is the maximum value.

Ye Yinchuan wanted to know if a Mythical Pokémon like Diancie, which even has the status of a Legendary Pokémon, could have an Individual Value (IV) limit of 200.

With the continuous activation of "Super Influence", Diancie's already extremely high Individual Values ​​continued to rise steadily. Although the rate of increase was very slow, it should be noted that its starting point was 195 points, which was almost close to the maximum value of 200 points that Ye Yinchuan gave to his Pokémon!
Ultimately, Diancie's Individual Value (IV) remained at an astonishing 205...

Even if Ye Yinchuan used "Super Influence" again, he would be unable to increase its individual values ​​any further.

"So the limit wasn't 200 points? It's 205 points?"

Ye Yinchuan suspected that even if he used "Super Influence" to allocate points, there was some kind of rule or limitation on the upper limit of a Pokémon's Individual Values ​​(IVs). At least Diancie could be increased to 205 points, while his Snorlax was stuck at 200 points...

Although a difference of 5 points is negligible, it's like game stats. All other things being equal, even 1 point is an advantage... or rather, enough to drive an obsessive-compulsive person crazy.
"What exactly is the problem?"

Ye Yinchuan immediately thought of Diancie's initial IVs, which were 195 points and the last number was 5. Could it be that the higher the initial IVs, the higher the potential IVs would be?

"There are still many aspects of my unique ability that I haven't figured out yet. There's no rush. I'll study it slowly."

In short, Ye Yinchuan has maximized Diancie's individual values ​​as much as possible.

"How amazing! Diancie feels Mr. Kirby's power flowing into my body. I feel like I'm full of energy... no, it's like my purity has increased, and my body seems to be shining!"

Diancie expressed her feelings, noting that the diamond parts on its body truly shone brightly.

"This... it only increased my racial stat by 10 points. Is it really that amazing? Could it be that a quantitative change led to a qualitative change?"

Ye Yinchuan secretly guessed that he also felt a great sense of feedback and accomplishment from Diancie's reaction.

"This is nothing, our special training has only just begun... Next, you should replenish your energy and condition!"

As he spoke, Ye Yinchuan began to take out his things.

Don't misunderstand, it's not some great treasure, but rather the tree fruits in his "Elf Paradise." Ye Yinchuan picks any tree fruit that might help or improve Diancie, and plants any that haven't been planted yet, then uses his influence points to ripen them...

The main feature is luxurious treatment!
"Mr. Kirby... can they really eat all these berries?"

Looking at the mountain of fruit piled up before her, a dazzling array of fruit, Tianxi showed a worried expression.
