Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 343 Diancie Subdued! I Want to Return Hoopa's Power to It

"Well, because I really like you, I'd like to invite you to join me in witnessing the wonders of this world. What do you think?"

Mammon, still maintaining his gentle and refined demeanor, spoke slowly to Diancie.

"Witness this world?" Tianxi tilted her head, somewhat bewildered.

"That's right. I think you've never been to the outside world before. Don't you want to see it for yourself?"

Mammon patiently guided him.

He could tell that this Tianxi was clearly innocent and pure-hearted, like a little princess who knew nothing of the world.

These innocent 'young girls' are quite easy to coax.

"Hmm~ It's really tempting." Diancie tapped her chin with her finger.

"Then why don't you become my partner and come with me?"

"No, I can't agree to that."

Diancie shook her head, and before Mammon could ask, she explained the reason.

“My country is facing a crisis. The Holy Diamond is about to disappear. I must create a new Holy Diamond.”

Despite the fact that it was a major crisis, Diancie remained calm, as if she didn't think there was any problem.

"I was just about to set off when I was summoned here."

Tianxi tilted her head again, seemingly quite troubled.

country?

Gadriya and the others were quite curious about what country Tianxi was referring to.

"I'm really sorry, but may I ask how you intend to create a Holy Diamond?"

Mammon's eyes flickered slightly. He roughly knew that this Diancie was the innocent and pure princess Diancie from the movie.

"Because my current abilities are insufficient to create truly holy diamonds, the Diamond Minister said that the legendary Xerneas can help me."

Diancie answered without reservation.

"Xerneas is a legendary Pokémon from Kalos, right?" Plantina recalled.

"That's right, Xerneas is a legendary Pokémon of life. It is said that Xerneas is very selfless and friendly, and it often shares its life energy with Pokémon in need."

Balza recalled that although he did live a secluded life, he still had some basic information about it.

“Is that so, Hoopa?” Plantina blinked and asked Hoopa, who was being punished.

"Hmm~ Balza is right. What about that seven-colored deer?" Punishment Hoopa frowned and scratched his head, looking quite conflicted.

"It has a very good temper, the kind that's really good, but it's also quite boring. No matter how much you mess with it, it won't get angry."

Hupa, the one being punished, spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

"And oh, the Seven-Colored Deer is like it's sick. It always cleans up after that big, fierce bird, Yveltal. It's always the same."

"So most of the time, the seven-colored deer is asleep and recovering its vitality."

Punish Hoopa didn't really like Xerneas because it felt Xerneas was too good-natured, the kind of good that made it impossible for anyone to do anything about it.

Yveltal?
Prantina recalled that it was also a Pokémon from the mythology of the Kalos region, but different from Xerneas, the Pokémon that was willing to share its life force.

Yveltal represents death and destruction; the appearance of Yveltal signifies the coming of death.

There is no doubt that Xerneas and Yveltal are adversaries.

Diancie wanted to find Xerneas in order to obtain the life force that Xerneas shared, so that Diancie's abilities could become stronger.

It can then produce the sacred diamonds that sustain the existence of diamond-producing countries.

"So you need to find Xerneas, but do you know where Xerneas is?"

Mammon continued to question Diancie.

"I do not know."

Diancie remained responsive and her honesty exceeded expectations.

“I have an idea, what do you think?” Mammon smiled.

“I’ll take you to Xerneas, and then it will help you. After you save your country, you can become my partner. How about that?”

"Hmm... Is this a transaction?"

Tianxi cutely tapped her chin.

"Because I really like you, Diancie. Nobody knows where Xerneas is. You might search for ten years and still not find him."

"But with my help, I think it will be much faster than you searching on your own."

Mammon smiled.

“What you said makes a lot of sense.” Although Diancie was innocent, she wasn’t stupid; she could analyze such simple pros and cons.

Diancie's big eyes sparkled as she gazed at Mammon for a long while, deciding to become this human's partner and explore and witness this world together.

Diancie didn't dislike him. This human was friendly, and for some reason, he had a natural affinity for her, making it impossible for Diancie to dislike him.

"Mammon, could you send me back first so I can talk to the Minister of Diamond? Otherwise, they'll be very worried about me."

Tianshi decided to inform her people first.

"Of course, Hoopa, thank you for your help."

Mammon looked toward punishing Hoopa.

"Okay, Huba~ Laolao."

Punishment Hoopa threw out a spatial golden ring, which rapidly expanded to open a spatial passage.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I will be back soon."

Diancie bowed slightly to Mammon and the others like a princess, and then hopped into the spatial passage.

“It seems there are no problems.” Mammon’s lips curled into a smile.

"Mammo~ Why don't you let me help you retrieve Xerneas? That would solve Diancie's problem."

Punish Hoopa floated to Mammon's side and asked curiously.

Diancie's need is to find Xerneas and have him grant her life force so that she can create holy diamonds.

Is Xerneas hard to find?
Punish Hoopa thought this was no problem at all; it could easily retrieve Xerneas with a single scoop.

“There’s no need for that. Some things you have to experience firsthand. Hoopa, your abilities are very powerful, extremely powerful.”

"But often what is needed is not just a result, the process is equally important."

“The easier something is to obtain, the less we will cherish it. Xerneas, let us go and find it ourselves.”

Mammon smiled and ruffled the hair of Punish Hoopa.

Of course, this is a lie.

What about the result and the process? Mammon was never someone who cared much about that, but he valued having fun more.

What if Team Flare had actually found Xerneas by now? Then Hoopa would have brought Xerneas back, which would have ruined the whole thing.

Therefore, Mammon is not in a hurry, because Xerneas will inevitably appear before the events on Carlos's side are over.

Team Flare will definitely be able to find either Xerneas or Yveltal, and if it's Yveltal, it'll be even simpler.

Yveltal, representing death and destruction, has an extremely violent temper and will indiscriminately go on a killing spree once awakened!
Xerneas will surely sense this and rush over to stop Yveltal and clean up its mess.

“Hmm…” Punishing Hoopa seemed to understand but not quite. “But…”

Punishing Hoopa still felt it was unnecessary to go through all that trouble. With its golden ring in hand, wouldn't it be better to go straight for the 'result'?

I can bring the seven-colored deer right to you, instead of you having to go through all the trouble to find it yourselves?

Hupa did not understand the punishment.

“Mr. Mammon is right, Hoopa. For Mr. Mammon and Diancie, the search for Xerneas is meaningful in itself.”

Balzah pressed down on Punish Hoopa and smiled, saying he thought Mr. Mammon made a lot of sense.

Often, the result is important, but the process is just as important.

"Yes, and with you, Hoopa, as our guarantee, we can enjoy the 'process' even more. After all, if we can't find Xerneas, we'll still need your help."

Mammon smiled and comforted Hoopa, knowing full well that Hoopa meant well.

"Alright~" Hearing Mammon's words, Punish Hoopa's mood immediately improved. Hoopa is a guarantee, Hoopa is really great~
Ripples spread across the center of the spatial golden ring, and Diancie's figure bounced back once more.

“I have already communicated with the Minister of Diamond and the others. Mammon, please take care of me from today onwards.”

Diancie's words and actions remained elegant and proper.

"Of course, Diancie, nice to meet you."

Mammon took out a Sweet Ball and smiled at Diancie.

"Is this a Poké Ball?"

Diancie looked at the pink sweet ball with great curiosity, having heard the experienced Diamond Minister mention it.

Because it had never left the diamond-mining country, Tianshi actually lacked common sense about the outside world and was eager for new things from it.

"That's right, this also represents the trust between the trainer and their Pokémon partner in their communication network."

Mammon nodded and handed the Sweet Ball to Diancie.

"Would you like to become my partner, Diancie?"

"My pleasure."

Although, according to the agreement, formal cooperation should only begin after Xernias is found and the crisis in the diamond mining country is resolved.

However, Diancie was also willing to trust this inexplicably kind human.

Diancie reached out and touched the Sweet Ball, transforming into a red light that entered the Sweet Ball. The indicator light only flickered briefly before stopping.

"I caught it." Mammon was in a good mood, and then opened the Poké Ball.

Congratulations, Mammon!

"Congratulations, Mr. Mammon."

Cattleya and the others naturally smiled and offered their congratulations.

"Thank you~" Mammon nodded with a smile.

Then he opened the Poké Ball again, and Diancie reappeared in front of him.

"It feels amazing." Diancie tilted her head slightly. At this moment, Mammon seemed even more approachable, and she couldn't help but want to get closer to Mammon.

"Tianci, let me introduce you to your other companions. This sleeping one is Jirachi, this one is Victini, and this one watching the video is Tapu Fini..."

Then Mammon introduced Diancie to the 'Mascot Team'.

For Mammon, today's gains were quite good. He formed a very good friendship with Hoopa and also recruited Diancie.

Afterwards, I stayed in the Valley of Creation for two more days. Life in the Valley of Creation is actually very simple. On weekdays, I work in the fields for a while. It is refreshing and peaceful.

For Prantina and Cattleya, experiencing this kind of life was quite novel.

At that moment, Mayari, along with the two others and the Pokémon Hoopa, were weeding the fields.

Mammon sat by the roadside to rest for a while and took a few nice photos.

"Mr. Mammon."

"Balza, just call me by my name."

Mammon smiled as he watched Balzac approach.

"Hehe~ Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Balzah was also smiling contentedly at this moment.

He had a very good impression of Mammon. He was gentle and cheerful, mature and steady, and had even met the Great One and received gifts from him!

"Thank you for taking care of you and your sister Balza these past two days. If it weren't for you, I don't think we would be so happy."

It must be said that the Balza siblings were indeed very warm and friendly, almost to the point of being considerate of everyone, and they would always come to invite them to eat together at mealtimes.

"You're too kind, Mammon. Are you leaving?" Balza noticed.

"Yes, we've been here for two days now, and we still have other things to do."

"Okay, you can come again when you have time. The Valley of Creation will always welcome you."

Balza said sincerely, "All good things must come to an end, and besides, Balza could see that Mammon and the other two were clearly not ordinary people."

“Of course, keep in touch when you have time.” Mammon smiled.

"Well, by the way, Mammon, there's something I'm unsure about and would like to ask for your opinion." Balza hesitated for a moment.

"About Hoopa?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Balza was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

"Yes, Hoopa was brought back to the Valley of Creation by our great-grandfather. It has been more than a hundred years since then. To me, Hoopa is like family."

“Back then, because Hoopa acted recklessly, my great-grandfather sealed Hoopa’s power as punishment, but now, I feel…”

Balza hesitated again as he said this.

"You want to return the power sealed by Hoopa to it?" Mammon naturally understood Balza's thoughts.

“That’s right. Although Hoopa is still mischievous, it is actually very kind and has no hostility. I want to restore it to its original state.”

To put it bluntly, Hoopa is now incomplete.

Because it has lost its power, and even its own abilities have been restricted.

Even though it regained its power, it still couldn't pass through the golden ring on its own due to 'punishment,' but it was much more complete after all.

“What do you think, Mammon?” Balza asked Mammon.

“I don’t think there’s a problem. I really like Hoopa. Amrido also told me that it’s completely different from before,” Mammon laughed.

"Well, I'll discuss it with Mayari again, and then I'll go find the Judgment Pot and regain Hoopa's power."

Having received Mammon's approval, Balzac made up his mind.

"Sure, if you need any help, or if there are any unexpected events on the way, you can contact me immediately, or have Huba bring me over."

Mammon reminded Balzac.

He understood deeply that once Balzac found the Jar of Punishment, the evil Hoopa would be fully unleashed.

This power of Hoopa, sealed for a hundred years, had actually developed its own consciousness due to its intense resentment.

What will happen when the power of the 'Demon of Evil' is released from its cage, coupled with its profound resentment?

The 'Legendary Pokémon Carnival' is about to begin!
