Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 478 Friendship is a Diamond

"impossible."

"Of course it's possible."

Wu Ge grinned, recalling the plot of the movie.

When Diancie finds her first truly pure friendship, she will be able to create her first diamond.

And this diamond.

It is her own keystone.

As long as this friendship is pure enough and destined to last, then this diamond will never disappear.

but.

Having this keystone does not mean that Diancie can evolve.

Because the Mega Stone corresponding to the Key Stone is missing.

Xerneas's fairy aura allows Diancie to become that Mega Stone herself.

Furthermore, Diancie at that time will not require the trainer to activate the Key Stone's power at the same time.

She can achieve super evolution on her own.

"Why do you say that?"

Tianxi looked at Wu Ge curiously.

“There’s a saying in Sinnoh: ‘Memories are pearls, friendship is diamonds.’ I believe that as long as our friendship lasts, it will never disappear.”

Wu Ge smiled and returned the pink diamond to Cynthia.

It doesn't matter who holds the stone, as long as it doesn't disappear or break.

After all, this is just a key stone, not a crucial mega stone.

Based on the portrayal in the movie.

Even if the diamond isn't on Diancie, it won't stop her from undergoing Mega Evolution.

Simultaneously.

This is why.

Wu Ge's reasoning is that this diamond is a keystone, not a megastone.

Because a Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it doesn't have a Mega Stone with it.

But there are many things that Wu Ge doesn't understand.

such as.

How did Xerneas enable Diancie to achieve autonomous evolution by leveraging the 'fairy aura' trait?

in the game.

Fairy Aura increases the damage of Fairy-type moves used by all Pokémon on the field by 33%.

But in reality, it's clearly not like that.

The movie only showed Xerneas and Diancie shining together, without explaining any other effects.

Even the idea that Diancie herself would become a Mega Stone was just Wu Ge's personal speculation.

Xerneas's power allows Diancie to undergo autonomous hyper-evolution.

Could other Pokémon do the same thing?
Or is it only Fairy-type Pokémon that can do it?

Or is it only Diancie who can do it?
All these doubts actually stem from a hope in Wu Ge's heart—whether Xerneas's power can allow him to take a step on the path of super evolution.

You could explore this direction and give it a try.

You might not need it in this life, but you might need it in the future.

"really?"

A look of anticipation appeared on Diancie's face.

If the diamonds you create don't disappear, does that mean you can create sacred diamonds?

She didn't want to die.

They also don't want the entire diamond-mining nation to be destroyed by losing its energy resources.

"Maybe!"

Cynthia responded with a smile, then asked:

"By the way, what is a Sacred Diamond?"

She had never heard of the saying "memories are pearls, friendship is diamonds," and assumed it was something Lucario made up to comfort Diancie.

However, she felt that there was some truth to what she said.

Friendship is such a precious thing.

How could it just vanish into thin air so easily?

That's not true friendship.

"The Sacred Diamond is the energy source that sustains all activities in the mining nation. It seems that only I can create it, but unfortunately, I do not yet have that ability. Fortunately, the energy source of the Sacred Diamond seems to be able to last for another ten years or so. The top priority for the diamond mining nation now is to find the location of Xernias."

Tianxi shook her head regretfully.

"Well"

Upon hearing this, Cynthia turned to look at Wu Ge, her eyes questioning.

Wu Ge nodded slightly.

Then the little golden retriever took out a map from the backpack:
"Tianshi, do you know about the Forest of Orianth?"

“Yes! I heard Machima say that when He was born, the Forest of Oruans was destroyed once. For decades after that, the area was barren and was known as the ‘Forbidden Zone of Life’.”

"Xernias lies there in slumber."

"Eh?!"

Diancie's eyes widened, then she clasped her small hands together.

"Cynthia, Wu Ge, can you take me there?"

“In the past, no one could find Him. The sleeping Xerneas looked just like an ordinary tree. Unless He deliberately revealed His presence or simply burned down the forest, no one could find Him.”

Wu Ge shrugged.

He could sense Xerneas's presence before.

It was because Xerneas sensed that Yveltal was about to wake up.

Their relationship is like that of Naruto and Sasuke.

Whenever Sasuke is about to go berserk, Naruto will immediately chase after him to stop him.

As long as Yveltal doesn't cause any trouble.

Xerneas will not wake up.

Does that mean we have to wake Yveltal up specifically to wake Him?

The consequences are not something an ordinary person can bear.

"so what should I do now?"

A hint of worry lingered in Tianxi's eyes.

It seems that this little princess also has her own worries.

"No need to be so nervous. Just have the little diamonds keep an eye on things in the Orian Forest. We can go find Xerneas when he wakes up. There are still more than ten years left. Maybe he will wake up by then."

Wu Ge comforted her.

Actually, there's no need to worry about this.

According to the timeline in the anime, Xerneas will awaken in about twelve years.

Even if He doesn't wake up on his own.

Team Flare will also try their best to wake Him up.

Diancie only needs to send Little Diamond to keep an eye on things in the Orianth Forest; all else she has to do is wait. "Yes, we'll definitely come back to the Carlos region again in the future. If Diancie still can't make a Sacred Diamond then, Lucario and I will help you figure it out."

"Really? Then it's settled."

"Ok!"

Cynthia smiled and nodded.

"So what are we doing here? Are we going to sleep here tonight? I heard from Machima that humans sleep every day. What a sleepy race!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Wu Ge couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing Diancie's words.

He was certainly not laughing at himself.

Wu Ge maintains a daily sleep schedule simply because sleeping itself is very comfortable.

But in fact.

He only feels slightly sleepy after two or three days without sleeping.

Even he himself didn't understand what was going on.

It's like he's about to become an immortal.

"No, we're sleeping at the hotel next door. We came here so that Diancie could experience the life of a trainer community."

Cynthia pointed.

In the lobby of the Pokémon Center, twenty or thirty young trainers sat around.

Half past nine in the evening.

It was the time when young trainers, having finished a day of battles, gathered at the Pokémon Center to chat and exchange ideas.

The Pokémon Center was quite lively at the moment.

This is in the ancient town of Xiang.

If in Miare City.

The scene at the Pokémon Center right now can only be described as a sea of ​​people.

"What are they doing?"

Tianxi glanced at it curiously.

"They're exchanging tips and techniques in a battle."

"Fight? Fighting is not a good thing. Nobody in the diamond mining country likes to fight."

"Pokémon battles are not just simple fights; they are a competitive activity, and one of the most popular and watched competitive events in human society."

Cynthia patiently explained the concept of battle to Diancie.

Wu Ge, who was standing next to her, went to find Miss Joey and ordered three glasses of juice.

The Pokémon Center not only provides Pokémon recovery and trainer accommodation services, but also offers services such as meals and communication.

It is precisely because of its many functions that it can be called the Elf Center.

I sat in the Pokémon Center for a while.

They returned to the hotel at 10 p.m.

Cynthia did her best to be a good host, and that night she slept with Diancie.

Wu Ge was curious.

If Cynthia sleeps with that stone princess in her arms, will she wake up in the morning with aches and pains all over her body?

The next morning.

It turns out that it will.

"Ouch~"

Cynthia walked out of the room, her forehead covered.

"I'm sorry, Cynthia."

Tianxi jumped out from behind her, feeling guilty.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, I'm just a bad sleeper."

Cynthia shook her head.

I like to play with Lucario when I'm sleeping.

Last night I forgot that I wasn't holding a dog.

He bumped his head.

He bumped into the hard pink diamond of Diancie, which hurt him badly and turned his forehead red.

"Fool."

Wu Ge leaned against the door frame and chuckled to himself.

"Hate.."

Cynthia walked over and gently punched his chest with her little fist.

Then Cynthia took Wu Ge's hands in her own and placed them on her forehead, staring at him with her big eyes, waiting quietly.

Waveguide energy emerges, much like ocean gel.

Cynthia felt the pain in her forehead disappear instantly.

My heart still feels warm.

A happy smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

"An old married couple."

Tianxi said something cryptic from the side.

"That's not how you use that word."

Wu Ge reached out and flicked Diancie on the forehead.

"You should really study how to use idioms. Oh, and Machima, go back and have Cynthia buy you a dictionary to take back with you."

"Ouch."

Diancie hugged her forehead and bounced back.
"I can't read human handwriting."

Wu Ge was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

correct.

Pokémon cannot understand human writing unless they specifically learn it.

Just like when he first came into this world.

He saw that he didn't recognize the characters in this world, and he was too lazy to learn them, so he remained illiterate for four lifetimes in a row.

of course.

There are also instances where he doesn't need to read text much.

No one would write anything specifically for him to see with a Pokémon.

Until he met Cynthia.

When she was young, this girl recommended various fonts from different eras to him, wanting to share what she liked with her favorite Pokémon.

Wu Ge considered the matter of learning to read, believing it would benefit future generations.

In the end, he still set aside some time each day to learn to read with Cynthia, learning the characters from different regions and eras.

And the facts prove it.

Learning to read is still very useful.

If he couldn't read, Wu Ge wouldn't have been able to become the Grand Master of the Land.
