Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 410 The True Value of the Legendary King! You believe I'll have Big Pillar smash you to death, yay!

"Yes, this is the best of times; it will be very lively outside."

Mammon nodded in reply.

"Moreover, if I could become your partner, the legendary king, the Lace-Crowned King, it would be a very meaningful thing for me."

Mammon sincerely added that the emotional value was given appropriately.

Sure enough, even the Queen of the Lacecrown narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile of pleasure appearing on her face.

As an ancient king, the Crowned King is famous for its wisdom and strength. Logically speaking, it should not be easily swayed by a few words from an ordinary person.

But is Mammon an ordinary person?
Obviously not.

King Rai-Crowned hesitated for a moment, not intending to refuse, but as an excellent king, he naturally had to inform Snowstorm Horse and Spirit Horse about this matter.

The Crowned King looked at the Snowstorm Horse, wanting to ask for its opinion.

"Whirl whirr~"

The Snowstorm Horse neighed at Mammon again, begging to be fed.

"You want to eat more? You've already eaten a lot. Are you really okay?" Mammon frowned slightly.

"Whoosh!!"

"Alright, alright, this is the last serving. You can't eat anymore after this. Even if you have a strong constitution, you'll overeat and upset your stomach. Overeating is not advisable."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The snowstorm horse was delighted and buried its mouth in the newly filled basin again.

Mammon took the opportunity to pat the Snowstorm Horse's head, and the Snowstorm Horse, known for its ferocity and warlike nature, readily allowed Mammon to pat it as he pleased.

Crowned Queen: "..."

Holding the soda, King Raiguan fell into thought: Was this really his snowstorm?

Even though he had mentioned to Snowstorm Horse that Mammon was special, and that the energy cube was indeed delicious, and Snowstorm Horse was indeed a gluttonous horse, how could he just let Mammon touch him so easily?
You are my mount!

Well, this is fine too.

“Since Mammon puts it that way, then I will accompany you to see the outside world.”

The Crowned King stopped thinking and answered with a clear and gentle telepathy, so there was no need to consult the Spirit Horse's opinion.

Because the Crowned King knew that the Spirit Horse would definitely support his choice.

"That's a great choice. I look forward to working with you in the future, Lady Crown!"

Mammon couldn't stop smiling. The legendary king and his beloved horse were now his.

Moreover, taming the Calycerin King is equivalent to taming the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse, which is like buying one and getting two free, not bad at all.

"Please also give me your guidance, Mammon." King Raecrown smiled with a reserved and elegant air.

This is its first time working with a human, and to be honest, it has absolutely no experience, but it's not a big problem.

Now that it was decided, the proper procedure had to be followed. Mammon took out two Poké Balls and captured Calyrex and Snowstriker without any resistance. Then Mammon released them.

"Lingyou is on its way."

The Crowned King has also used his superpowers to contact the Spirit Horse and have it come here.

"Okay, by the way, Queen Rachel, it's said that your power comes from faith, is that right?"

Mammon thought for a moment and then asked Rachel, who was sipping soda through a straw.

It seems that the Crème de la Mer prefers soft drinks; at least it only drank a few sips of juice before refusing to drink any more.

“That’s right, I can gain power by drawing on faith. How did you know that, Mammon?”

King Rathalos nodded, then looked at Mammon with some curiosity, wondering how Mammon knew about this.

This isn't really a secret, but it was back in ancient times, and so much time has passed that very few people know about it anymore, let alone its ability.

“I had learned some things through ancient books before, and I also heard that after your kingdom slowly collapsed, your power gradually disappeared because you lost your faith, and even the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse left you.”

Mammon said jokingly.

This is not recorded in any ancient book, but rather part of the storyline within the game "Sword and Shield".

However, Mammon has always believed that this part of the plot is somewhat illogical.

'Legendary King and Beloved Horse' is the official name for the Calycerin King, Snowstorm Horse, and Spirit Horse.

In ancient times, the Brilliant King reigned supreme over the entire Galarian region. Legend has it that when it raised its right hand, it could make flowers bloom and grass grow lush, and when it raised its left hand, it could make the fields fertile and the crops bountiful.

Therefore, the Crème della Signoria is also known as the 'King of Abundance'.

At that time, both Snowstalker and Ghost Horse were kings of Pokémon, and they were furious at the humans who invaded their territory, constantly attacking humans and their Pokémon partners.

It was the appearance of the Bridal Crown that defeated and subdued them, and then the two horses became the 'King's Beloved Horses' and rode alongside the Bridal Crown, forging a deep bond between them.

But no kingdom lasts forever. As time passed, the Brilliant King's kingdom gradually collapsed, and the Brilliant King gradually lost its power because it lost the faith of humankind. In the end, even its two beloved horses left it.

That's right. In the game's storyline, because the Calyrex lost its power, the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse, who were supposedly deeply connected to it, abandoned the Calyrex.

What the hell is this 'deep bond'?

Moreover, at the end of the storyline involving the Crowned King in the Snowfield, the Crowned King did not actually regain any faith; Xiaoyou simply helped it find the Snowstorm Horse Spirit Youma.

But once the Crowned King was back on his horse, his strength was restored...

Isn't that contradictory? As long as it rides a horse, the Calycerin gains power, but if that's the case, why did the Snowstorm Horse and the Spirit Horse leave it?

Is it taking advantage of the time when the Queen of the Calypso is off the horse? Then, as I said before, where is this deep bond manifested?

"This is nonsense. How could my ties with Snowstorm and Spirit Realm be such worthless things?"

King Rai chuckled, shook his head, and responded calmly.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Snowstorm Horse echoed this sentiment, proudly raising its head to express its loyalty to the king.

"Although Snowstorm is playful and Spirit is solitary, they are both my dearest friends, and they would never betray me."

The Crowned Horse looked at Snowstorm with a very gentle gaze; after all, this was its beloved horse that had been with it for countless years.

“How wonderful~” Prantina was deeply moved. The deep bond between the Crested King and its horse had stood the test of time and was natural and sincere.

“I see.” Mammon nodded, concealing the strange look in his eyes. In this world, it seems that the Crane Crown and the Snowstorm Horses and the Spirit Horses truly share a deep bond. Even though the Crane Crown lost its power of faith and weakened, the Snowstorm Horses did not abandon it.

But with so many parallel universes in the Pokémon universe, who knows which parallel universe Calyrex's horse might have gone missing.

In the original story, the Calycerin King was truly pitiful. Because he had lost his faith and had no horse, if it weren't for Yu's arrival in Frozen Village, the Calycerin King would probably still be weakly asleep, and would never have found his horse in this lifetime.

"So, King Rai-Crowned, your power is actually far from its peak, isn't it?"

However, Cattleya thought of something else.

"Are you referring to faith? If so, I have indeed not yet reached my peak."

The Queen instantly understood what Cattleya meant, and replied after taking a sip of her soda.

Of course, it hasn't reached its peak. It can gain power by absorbing faith, but now there are probably very few people in all of Galilee who know its name as the Lady Crown.

Not to mention faith.

So the Rachelon is currently in a state of having no faith, but even so, as long as she rides a horse, the Rachelon is still a top-tier legendary warrior.

This is the true value of the title 'King of Legends'.

"Then why don't you regain faith? With your power, your kingdom can be rebuilt if you just start using your power again."

Prandina also asked curiously.

"The demise of my kingdom is not due to my mismanagement, but rather to the inevitable trend of the times." King Rai-Crowned's wise eyes were now very deep.

"My era has come to an end. This is both fate and the world's choice. It is only right that I step down from the stage."

"For me, it was never that I chose to become king, but that this land needed my existence, so I responded to this land."

The Crowned King spoke calmly.

"Becoming king again means nothing to me; on the contrary, it will bring chaos and unrest to this land, which is not the result I want."

“Gaining faith…is by no means a reason.”

Upon hearing the calm words of the King of the Crane, both Cattleya and Plantina felt a tremor in their hearts.

'It was never that I chose to become king, but rather that this land needed me, and I responded to this land!'

What kind of enlightenment is this?!
Prantina felt a lump in her throat, and her gaze toward the Crane King was filled with respect and sympathy.

Knowing full well that this land no longer needed him, the Crowned King lived alone with his beloved horse in the icy wilderness, unknown to anyone.

There was no resentment or complaint whatsoever; it was truly...amazing.

"Truly worthy of being called the King of Abundance."

Mammon couldn't help but sigh.

According to legend, Calyrex, a Pokémon with the ability to heal hearts and make plants sprout, is a creature full of compassion.

This is more than just being full of love; this is practically a saint, my goodness!

It has to be said that Mammon truly admires Rachelon for this; if it were him, he certainly couldn't have Rachelon's mindset.

Not everyone is as open and honest as the Queen of the Crown, who is not attached to past glories and honors, and who calmly lets go of the past, bearing loneliness and everything alone.

"You flatter me." The Crown Prince calmly sipped his juice.

"But since faith can enhance power, why don't you try playing games, Lady Crown?"

Mammon pondered for a moment. Since the Raicrown King was unwilling to raise the banner again and claim the throne to gain faith, that was fine too.

We can always try a different approach. This isn't ancient times anymore; there are plenty of ways to gain faith in this era.

"A game?" the Queen of the Rachel asked, puzzled.

"Yes, you should try this."

Mammon took out his spare phone.

"this is?"

"An electronic device, yes, Calyrex, click into this Pokémon Auto Chess game and try it out a couple of times."

Mammon was teaching the Crassula. The Crassula was small, so it was easy for it to use a mobile phone, unlike the Gaioka Reishram and the others, who were too big to use mobile phones.

Pokémon Auto Chess was an idea that Mammon provided to his own game company, a game created by imitating the auto chess games of Warcraft and Teamfight Tactics from his previous life.

The pieces in Pokémon Auto Chess are, of course, various Pokémon.

"Three Charmanders can be combined to create a two-star Charmander, while Charizard is a four-cost card. If you can combine them to create a three-star Charizard, then you've basically won the game."

Calyrex has a very high IQ and an unquestionable ability to understand, and quickly figured out how to play this Pokémon Auto Chess game.

It quickly formed a pure fire-type team for Sunny Day, and Charizard wreaked havoc.

"Not bad, very talented, Queen of the Crowns. Looks like you're going to win this round." Mammon was very satisfied.

As expected, with her intelligence and good luck, playing games is a good fit for her, and becoming a game streamer online shouldn't be a problem.

The game quickly reached the final stage, leaving only it and a player named "爷傲奈我何" (Ye Ao Nai Wo He). Ye Ao Nai Wo He's avatar was familiar to the Queen of the Phoenix, but it turned out to be the avatar of the Phoenix King.

The Queen of the Crown decisively switched over to take a look at the lineup of "What Can I Do?" and found that it was frantically discarding cards, trying to chase a three-star, five-cost Phoenix King?

After some thought, the Queen of the Crowns decisively drew two Phoenix King cards without any instruction. Since there were only ten five-cost cards in total, having drawn two meant that this arrogant and unreliable player would definitely not be able to combine a three-star Phoenix King to turn the tide.

The Queen of Lacey thought she was a truly witty and sophisticated woman! Does she even know what the Queen of Lacey's wisdom is?
but……

Soon, Ye Ao Nai Wo He arrived at the chessboard on the side of the Lacecrown King. After discovering the two Ho-Oh cards on the Lacecrown King's preparation table, he frantically tapped on the two Ho-Oh cards.

Clearly, this arrogant guy's mentality has collapsed.

Just as the Queen of the Rachelons was wondering what this guy meant, the chat channel started scrolling wildly.

"What can I do about your arrogance?: Are you out of your mind?! You card-playing idiot!"

What can I do to you, my arrogant self? I'm not even blocking your Charizard anymore, are you blocking my giant turkey?

What can you do to me, you idiot?! I'll explain your dream, you little brat!

What can I do to you, my arrogance? I played all afternoon and finally got a chance to get a three-star, five-cost Great Turkey. Do you have no one else at home, my dear?
What can you do to me? You dare block my way? You dare give me your address? I'll send my big pillar over there and beat you to a pulp! (Angry emoji)

Am I really the king?
