Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

He felt no guilt whatsoever when he fought Lance and took some of the Pokémon League rewards.

However, if you miss the Ordron City Festival because of this reward...

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Daigo nodded slightly, a wise glint in his eyes. “I’ve heard about that festival; it’s still a whole month away from starting.”

Awakening nodded in agreement with Daigo's statement, then added, "Even if you only travel over Mt. Tsukimi from Cerulean City, it will only take less than half a month to get there."

"If you really can't make it in time, I can have Dragonite take you."

After saying that, A-Du patted the good-natured orange Dragonite beside him.

"Pop~"

Dragonite raised its head, indicating that everything was in its hands.

Su Hao thought about it and agreed.

With Dragonite's speed—it only took 15 minutes to get here from Quartz Plateau—it's no problem to go and return on the same day.

At this moment, Su Hao finally had the leisure to look at the data of the two powerful aces.

Pokémon: Dragonite

Attribute: [Dragon + Flying]

Gender: Male

Features: [Multiple scales]

Tier: [Champion-level Mid-game]

Item: [Dragon Fang]

Moves: [Destructive Beam, Tornado, Slam, Ice Punch...]

...Divider line...

Pokémon: Metagross

Gender: [None]

Characteristic: [Eternally Pure Body]

Tier: [Champion-level Mid-game]

Item: [Weakness Insurance]

Techniques: [Comet Fist, Cannon Beam, Psychic Power, High-Speed ​​Movement...]

Su Hao was taken aback.

Both of these powerful Pokémon are genuine Champion-level Pokémon, with a level cap of 84+!

As expected of a top-tier trainer in the league, this is the strongest trainer Su Hao has ever seen.

With such a big brother protecting me when we head to the city of Orudron, do I even need to choose?

"Then I have no problem."

Su Hao brought the topic to a close. With a weight lifted from his mind, A-Du followed the team in a cheerful mood and escorted Team Rocket executive Lance and nineteen other members overnight.

The once bustling Tsukimiyama Plaza is now deserted, with only the Pippi Clan gathered around the giant moonstone, seemingly preparing for something, and Nika waiting in the distance with shining eyes.

Then came Su Hao and Dai Wu.

Su Hao looked at Daigo, who seemed hesitant to speak, with some confusion, and asked, "Mr. Daigo, is there something you want to say to me?"

Daigo rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment. As if he had finally made up his mind, he looked at Su Hao and said solemnly, "Could you let me see all your Pokémon?"

"what?"

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

Mew-two.

Chapter 365 The World of the Rich

Thanks to the healing power of the Everlasting Rock, Diancie and the others, though still somewhat listless, are much better than before when they were severely injured.

Daigo observed their condition one by one, and when it was Diancie's turn, a special light flashed in Daigo's eyes.

The intense gaze made Diancie shrink uncomfortably behind Su Hao. Although it understood that Daigo had saved them at the last minute, Diancie still felt uneasy under that gaze...

As if admiring something incredibly precious, Daigo's face flushed, and his breathing became rapid.

Su Hao understood that this was Daigo's fanatical rock-loving nature taking effect. No rock-loving fan wouldn't be moved by the existence of Diancie, a Rock/Fairy type Mythical Pokémon.

However, Daigo's refined manners prevented him from making any impolite moves, if one ignored his burning gaze.

After a moment, Daigo coughed lightly twice as if nothing had happened, and said in a gentle manner, "I can feel that there is a deep bond between you and your Pokémon."

Steven's gaze swept over Eevee, Riolu, Brave Eagle, Dragapult, Milotic, Incineroar, and Diancie, lingering a little longer on Diancie.

There are seven Pokémon in total, and each one is very well trained.

His combat prowess is impeccably strong. Based on the attack light he saw twice at the foot of the mountain, he was even able to withstand Lance's Elite Four-level Gengar and defeat the Gym Leader-level Crobat.

Perhaps, he is the person I have been searching for, the one I can entrust my life to.

With this in mind, Daigo's idea became completely certain.

He suddenly asked seriously, "Su Hao, what do you think of Pokémon?"

"?" Su Hao didn't understand why Daigo asked that, but he still blurted out the answer, "Partners, friends, family, beings who grow stronger together."

"Is that so?" Daigo chuckled, then suddenly pulled a shrunken white commemorative ball from his waist. "I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"???"

Su Hao was a little out of sync with Daigo and stammered, "You said..."

“I want to entrust this child to you. This is one of the reasons I came to the Kanto region: to find a reliable trainer for it.”

Daigo had investigated many people before, and financial resources were not a problem, nor was his lack of knowledge about training methods; all of this was just a matter of lifting a finger for him.

He has only one requirement: excellent character and potential.

Unfortunately, even though he thought his requirements were low enough, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

This person's attitude towards Pokémon is too indifferent; that person's trainer talent isn't strong enough, which could easily bury the child's potential...

Ultimately, Daigo saw in Su Hao the qualities that met all his requirements.

Steven tapped the commemorative ball, and as a red light appeared and then disappeared, a silver-white Pokémon appeared in Su Hao's field of vision.

It seemed to know that Daigo had found a suitable partner for him, and it floated in the air circling around Su Hao, as if observing him.

Su Hao stared in disbelief at Daigo, then at the gleaming iron dumbbell circling around him.

who am I?

where am I?

What should I do?

Just a moment ago, he thought the shiny Metagross was incredibly cool, but now Steven suddenly wants to entrust this shiny Iron Dumbbell to him?

Is the heir of Devon Corporation really this arrogant? He just gave away a pseudo-legendary character like Flash without any warning.

"Donbo~"

A cold, mechanical voice rang out, reminding Su Hao that the system's voice was similar.

Whether it was the affinity of Su Hao's Tokiwa Power that was passively at work, Iron Dumbbell observed him for a while and then couldn't wait to stick to Su Hao's arm.

The silvery-white metal body of the iron dumbbell pressed against Su Hao's arm, and a cold sensation came from the point of contact, as if touching a piece of steel.

Su Hao tried to touch the iron dumbbell with his hand. Not only did the other party not refuse, but its red eyes curved into crescents, showing that it liked being touched very much.

"It seems my decision was right; this child has never been this close to me before."

Daigo

With his right hand on his waist and a warm smile on his face that seemed to indicate he had found the right person to entrust his affairs to, Su Hao could probably sell any candid photo of him to his fans in the Hoenn region for a high price.

"Just like the Metagross before, this kid was ostracized by the hundreds of Iron Dumbbells at home because of its different color. That's why I had the idea of ​​finding it a reliable trainer."

Daigo closed his eyes slightly, speaking softly, without a trace of awareness that he was flaunting his wealth.

Su Hao: "............"

Listen to this, is Daigo-san even speaking human language?

Do you keep hundreds of iron dumbbells at home?

This isn't just being extravagant; is your quasi-god doing wholesale?

Su Hao's forehead creased with annoyance. He always thought Versailles was someone else's fault, but today he was being completely misunderstood as being Versailles himself.

However, the statement still needs to be made.

Su Hao solemnly promised Daigo, "I understand, I will treat it well."

"Then, this commemorative ball is yours. It's a specially made commemorative ball from Devon Corporation, with effects almost identical to the deluxe ball."
