Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Miss Joey said, "But it's best not to go recently, it's very..."

Before she could utter the word "danger," Miss Joey suddenly realized the identity of the person in front of her—

The titles such as "father of Mega Evolution," "discoverer of Dynamax," and so on are not important.

There's only one important thing: he's the trainer of the legendary Pokémon Guruton!

"If it's Master Pigeon, there's definitely no problem!"

Miss Joey said this.

After a conversation, Xia Chen learned the full story of the strange events at Mount Karas from Miss Joey.

The Karas Mountains have long been associated with a legend of a diamond kingdom, where tiny diamonds lived carefree under the leadership of Princess Tianci.

Countless explorers, drawn by this legend, ventured into the mountains to search for it.

However, no one was able to find it.

However, Muxiang Village at the foot of the mountain has benefited greatly from this legend and has gradually grown stronger.

One can't help but wonder if this legend was spread by the villagers of Muxiang Village in order to turn the place into a tourist destination.

But since strange things started happening more than a year ago, fewer and fewer trainers have come here to explore the Diamond Kingdom.

“Every two weeks or so, terrifying sounds echo from deep in the mountains. It’s horrifying.”

This was similar to what Karuni had told Xia Chen.

Furthermore, Ms. Joy added, "And those trainers who went into the Karas Mountains during that time never returned..."

Xia Chen's heart sank slightly, and he looked down to exchange a glance with Xianbu.

Based on this description, it's increasingly likely that Yveltal inhabits this mountain...

“In the past few months, no one has dared to go in anymore, making it increasingly difficult for our hotels and restaurants to do business. Moreover, many villagers have chosen to leave their hometowns.”

Miss Joey was quite distressed. "If this continues, Muxiang Village will become a ghost village."

Xia Chen comforted him, "I came here specifically for this matter. I'll go into the mountains tomorrow to take a look."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Touched, Miss Joey added with concern, "Please make sure you take good care of yourself!"

…………

After spending the night in the village, Xia Chen entered the Karas Mountains.

Because the enemy this time might be a powerful being like Yveltal, he didn't dare to be careless and brought Guleton with him as soon as he entered the mountains.

Riding a majestic, bright red lizard through the dense forest gives you an instant sense of security.

"Speaking of which, have you sensed its presence, Gu Leton?"

Xia Chen asked this question.

"No..."

Therefore, Leighton replied, "Perhaps it has concealed its presence, or perhaps it is not here at all."

Xia Chen pondered for a moment, "If not here, then what is the reason for the strange events here..."

There were too many possibilities, and even the clueless Xia Chen couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, we'll know after staying here for a few days."

Miss Joy said the last incident happened ten days ago, so the next riot isn't far off.

Of course, there are also simpler and more direct methods.

Deoxys split into countless clones to conduct a thorough search.

But not only is it not guaranteed that we'll find them, we might also alert them.

After all, this is a legendary cover artist who has graced the cover of games; waiting patiently seems more reliable.

"So the first thing to do is to find a suitable place to set up camp."

Even in the wild, Xia Chen tries his best to pursue a high quality of life.

High-quality water source, expansive view, pleasing scenery...

Places with these characteristics are usually occupied by powerful wild elves.

But this was no problem for Xia Chen. He had his weakest Burning Bug unleash a small burst of flame, and the rogue panda slunk away with its entire family, giving up the territory.

After flexing his muscles, Xia Chen then offered the rogue panda family a considerable benefit.

They not only hired them as security guards for the next few days, but also inquired about some secrets of the Karas Mountains.

The rogue panda living in the mountains knew more about this than Miss Joey from the village.

According to it, the noise originated from the mountainside, near the summit, and because the aura emanating from it was so terrifying, they didn't dare to go over and take a closer look.

Xia Chen understood; narrowing down the scope further would undoubtedly be helpful for subsequent actions.

"Kamo—(But that's very close to the small diamond mine, they should know something.)"

The rogue panda dad added this.

Xia Chen was taken aback. "So, the rumors about the Diamond Kingdom are true?"

The rogue panda froze, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

But words spoken are words spilled, so he had no choice but to nod and admit, "It's true, but because of human greed for diamonds, they don't like to interact with the outside world, so we generally don't tell anyone about it."

Xia Chen reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm not like those greedy humans. I don't lack money."

The rogue panda looked incredulous.

Sai Fuhao, who was standing nearby, immediately became furious.

You can question my abilities, but you can't question my financial power!

It immediately spent money to redeem a large number of spirit items such as fire stones, water stones, and energy gems from the system and threw them out.

This thing is also a valuable commodity among wild Pokémon, since a large number of Pokémon in the wild need these things to evolve and increase their energy levels.

These things are similar to currency.

The rogue panda was starting to believe it—

If even a single Pokémon can be this rich, how wealthy must the trainer be?

Since they're already so rich, they probably wouldn't covet those tiny diamonds, right?

The rogue panda thought so naively.

He didn't understand that plunder has nothing to do with being rich or poor; the rich have far more ways to plunder than the poor.

However, this does not include Xia Chen, who genuinely had no interest in the so-called diamond kingdom.

After thinking for a moment, the rogue panda said, "Okay... I'll take you to find them, but whether the little diamonds will let you in is another matter..."

…………

The clues led them to the legendary Diamond Kingdom.

Xia Chen was actually quite curious about this place. In the Pokémon universe of his previous life, the movie featuring X and Y was connected by Diancie as the core storyline, and the movie was even called "Dianci: The Cocoon of Destruction".

I wonder if the Diamond Kingdom in this world has Diancie.

Strictly speaking, Diancie is not an evolved form of Scatter Diamond, but a mutant.

Just like the difference between pink diamonds and regular diamonds in a past life.

Therefore, Diancie is a legendary elf, while Little Diamond is not.

Legend has it that she was born from the essence of a diamond mine.

It can compress carbon elements in the air between its two hands, creating many diamonds in an instant.

This has attracted many explorers.

Although... diamonds are something that's purely hyped up.

Xia Chen felt that this thing was not as practical as Sai Fuhao, who could turn stones into gold.

However, no one can deny that Diancie is beautiful.

After all, it's the kind of thing that could make a bunch of otaku from their past lives call a rock "wife".

On the other hand, modern people's XP is really strange. It's one thing for Fury, after all, we are all mammals.

Diancie is a rock, a rock-hard diamond at that. Aren't they afraid...?

While Xia Chen was lost in thought, the rogue panda had already led him all the way up to the mountainside.

"Kamo—(This is it.)"

Xia Chen looked at the spot the rogue panda was pointing to.

Before us was an extremely narrow crevice in the cave, so narrow that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a narrow passage between heaven and earth.

Unless one is a child, it is virtually impossible for a human to enter.

If the so-called Diamond Kingdom is entered from here, it's no wonder that no one has been able to find this place for so many years.

How do I get in?

Xia Chen stroked his chin, deep in thought.

It can't shrink like Chansey, nor can it freely transform into liquid like Vaporeon...

Break through the rock directly?

Isn't that a bit too impolite?

As he was pondering, the rogue panda said again, "Kamo—(Step back a little, I'll ask them if they can let you in.)"

Despite its nickname "Rogue," the Rogue Panda is surprisingly serious and responsible in its work.

Xia Chen nodded, then retreated to the woods to hide, secretly glancing in their direction.

No one knows what the rogue panda did, but a small diamond hopped out from a crack in the rocks.

Then the two elves, one large and one small, began to communicate.
