Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

Milotic breathed a sigh of relief when it saw Su Hao return with a group of Pokémon.

It had long since abandoned medicine for martial arts, and its half-baked life-saving drops were utterly useless.

Su Hao stopped Gardevoir, who was anxiously watching the girl's bloodied right hand, from among the group of Pokémon behind him.

This Gardevoir is the only Pokémon in this group that knows the healing move Heal Pulse.

However, Gardevoir is completely unqualified to treat injuries that could potentially lead to disability and require a level of healing ability that is almost as advanced as reviving the dead.

Su Hao smiled and said, "I can heal you even if your mental strength is injured. It's just an arm. Trust me."

"Shanai..."

Gardevoir hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to believe Su Hao.

Looking at the three men and one woman lying on the floor, Su Hao quickly assessed their injuries and decided to prioritize the treatment of the girl who might lose her arm and be disabled in the future.

During a break from synthesizing life energy, Su Hao took a moment to look up at the sky.

In the howling cold wind, the loud explosions and sounds of clashes overhead were impossible for him to ignore.

"Whoa?" (Can Diancie win?)

Lucario looked worried. Its opponent was from another world; could it be hiding something...?

While channeling his life energy into the girl's arm, Su Hao reassured Lucario, "Don't worry, your Diancie is very strong."

"I trust it to do it, just as it trusts me."

Lucario's red pupils contracted slightly; it could clearly sense the weight of Su Hao's words.

Even though it was a perfect, naturally synchronized partner with Su Hao, Diancie was still different from him.

Moreover, Su Hao treats them very fairly and doesn't do anything deliberately because he favors anyone.

Therefore, Lucario wasn't jealous at all...

Okay... As a Pokémon that upholds justice, Lucario is unwilling to lie.

Actually... it was a tiny bit jealous.

It really is only a tiny bit; this should be considered a little secret that Xiu Gou keeps hidden in his heart, right?

................

"Phew... another day of Blood Horse C."

Su Hao wiped the thin layer of sweat that had stubbornly appeared on his forehead despite the icy and snowy environment. Creating so much life energy at once was a bit tiring.

After all, he's not one of those legendary Pokémon; he doesn't have that much energy to squander.

Looking at the four people sleeping peacefully and calmly in front of him, Su Hao put the Poké Balls containing the Pokémon back on them one by one.

Out of trust in Su Hao, their savior, these Pokémon were extremely obedient.

He picked out his own Poké Ball from the pair of Poké Balls brought by the Metal Monster, went to the Trainer's side, and went inside on his own.

Very worry-free.

These people, including the instructors, are human beings after all. They were seriously injured, and even if Su Hao healed them, it would take them some time to wake up.

Looking up at the sky, Su Hao muttered that it should be soon.

At the other end of the waveguide connection, Diancie remained stable, only slightly fatigued.

I doubt they were injured.

On the contrary, the Bomb Head Clown, as an Ultra Beast, was not as strong as the Hawaiian Buzzwole in terms of basic strength, and naturally could not last long under Diancie's pressure.

really.

The moment Su Hao looked up at the sky, an endless stream of pink crystals rained down from above.

With a violent tremor, Bang-Headed Clown was knocked off his feet by the diamond storm and onto the snow like a kite with a broken string.

Diancie, just like before she made her move, was completely spotless, descending from the sky with an air of superiority.

One word—elegant!

------------

Dream, Lucario.

Chapter 406 Sorry, I soloed it.

After the blizzard turned into heavy snow, the heavy snow gradually turned into light snow.

At this moment, in the middle of a pure white valley.

A burly, dark red figure, about two meters tall, was squatting on the ground looking aggrieved, counting the mountain of discarded high-grade balls in front of him with a face full of resentment.

Accompanying it was another large black bird that used its mental power to move the advanced balls and count them together.

Blazing Roaring Tiger and Emerald Warrior Eagle.

“Crack…”

"Crack... Crack... (Eleven... Twenty... Twenty-three... Twenty-one)"

The piles of discarded high-grade balls here were all used by Su Hao when he was trying to capture Bang Head Clown, and they were the ones that exploded at the end.

The reason is simply that the probability of catching an Ultra Beast with a regular Poké Ball is extremely low.

Su Hao wasted over a hundred of his stockpiled high-grade balls, resulting in a complete failure.

Furious and exasperated, he could only vent his impotent rage on himself, the handsome young man, and his little brother, the emerald-green warrior eagle, making them count and exercise their brains.

At least that's what the Blazing Roaring Tiger thinks.

Not far away, the clown with the bang head woke up three times, but each time Su Hao commanded Diancie to knock it unconscious again.

Su Hao stared at the last high-grade ball in his hand. This was his only remaining stock. If he failed again, he would have to wait for reinforcements to arrive before he could capture Bang Head Clown.

It would be bad if something unexpected happened during this time. Who knows if Bang-Headed Clown would attract other Ultra Beasts, or even cause the Ultra Cave to open.

"Hey, don't make me buy another Ultra Ball on credit again, okay?"

"No to that kind of thing!!"

Su Hao thought so.

If you are guilty, let God punish you, instead of making him face this miserable situation, like an African getting lucky in a gacha game.

Over a hundred high-grade balls!!

Although it was a free gift that my mom put in my space backpack when she gave me it, unlike in the game, a high-level ball costs 5000 Shenzhou coins!

In other words, Su Hao has already wasted more than 500,000 Shenzhou coins.

If this isn't hell, then what can be called hell?

Gritting his teeth, with veins bulging on Su Hao's forehead, he pulled out the Flute of Infinity under Diancie's helpless expression.

Damn it, I can't take it anymore!

Even when he shakes a red and blue bottle, they all come over!

Su Hao still didn't believe it, so he had Latios or Latias come over and use their psychic powers to hold down the Poké Ball, but Puffhead could still break free.

"Oro!" (They're waking up!)

Just as Su Hao was about to play the Flute of Infinity, Lucario's voice rang out in the Waveguide Channel.

Su Hao was startled by the sudden sound. The Flute of Infinity in his right hand was fine, but the Advanced Ball in his left hand rolled to the ground.

Then, Gulu Gulu rolled over on the slippery road where Su Hao had cleared the snow to Bangtou Clown's side.

The button was triggered at that exact moment, and the clown with the head once again turned into red light and merged into the advanced ball.

This time, to Su Hao's astonishment, the advanced ball calmly shook three times, and then three illusory golden stars appeared.

"Ding-dong--!"

Bang-Headed Clown, successfully contained.

Su Hao's pupils dilated wildly, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Are you doing this on purpose?!

Fortunately, he hasn't played the Flute of Infinity yet, otherwise the Water City would have made a wasted trip.

I calmed my heart, which was pounding wildly from the sudden fright.

Su Hao exhaled a breath of stale air, picked up the high-level ball containing the clown, recalled Diancie, and also summoned back the Blazing Roar Tiger and the Emerald Warrior Eagle.

Immediately afterwards, they headed towards the four board-laying players that Lucario was guarding.

As for the corpse of the advanced ball, it was naturally taken away as well.

He'll have to get reimbursed from the snowfield base then!

Soon, Su Hao spotted a 30-year-old man sitting up, still looking somewhat bewildered, among the four planks placed side by side.

This person was among the least injured, and even fought the clown to the very end.

Judging from his age, there's no need to guess; he's definitely an instructor.

Zhang Feng scratched his head, looking at the light snow that had transformed from a blizzard into a gentle drizzle, with the sound of burning firewood all around him.

He remembered... he was seriously injured while battling a mysterious, ferocious Pokémon. In that instant, the walkie-talkie suddenly connected, and he managed to say a few words despite the excruciating pain before passing out.

When he opened his eyes, the ferocious Pokémon was gone, and he and three students were lying on a wooden plank, with a campfire burning around them.

And... there's also an incredibly handsome Lucario guarding them.

Zhang Feng asked Lucario, "Did you save us...?"

"Leo—"

Lucario shook his head, replied, and then ignored him.

Just as Zhang Feng had gathered his thoughts, a magnified handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Are you awake?"

"Holy crap—!?"
