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

"Oh~"

Su Hao nodded slightly, without asking Liao Xingchen why she was investigating alone in the Evergreen Forest when she clearly had subordinates.

The reason is simply this: this prophecy is too dangerous. If someone suddenly encounters Senyi and Gujianwo during the search, even if Liao's subordinates have the combat power of a Heavenly King, they would probably be instantly killed without even being able to put up a fight against Gujianwo.

Rather than sending his subordinates to their deaths in vain, it's better to send his strongest fighter out from the start.

Su Hao could understand Liao Xingchen's thoughts. If possible, he himself would also like to minimize casualties.

Liao Xingchen had that ability, and now that I have Reshiram, I can also say that I have that ability.

After finishing his speech, Su Hao began to move in small increments toward Emperor Yan, his hands trembling.

It keeps moving.

At this moment, Su Hao's mind was filled with the orange-red fur of the Yan Emperor. He would just touch it once, and that would be enough. After that, he would stop touching it.

But how could his little tricks possibly escape the notice of Emperor Yan? Emperor Yan glanced at Su Hao with a look of stern authority, somewhat helpless.

The other party practically had his lust for his body written all over his face; if he still couldn't see it, he'd have lived in vain all these years.

Just as Su Hao's furtive hand was about to touch Yan Di, before he could even think, Yan Di blurted out, "Young man, are you interested in applying to be the Rainbow Warrior?"

Su Hao, whose movements froze: "?"

Liao Xingchen, looking utterly shocked: "??"

Marcia in the shadows: "6."

Red-Warm Reshiram: "!!!"

Why is it that everywhere it goes, people are trying to steal its hero?!

......

Having finally calmed down the chaotic Reshiram in his mind, Su Hao was now completely blank, entering a state of sage-like tranquility. He looked at the Flame Emperor with a puzzled expression: "Why me?"

Masado remained silent in the shadows, silently mourning for Emperor Yan. Of all people to steal from, why did you have to steal from someone who already had an owner?

Unaware that he had almost been burned, Emperor Yan coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed: "Actually, the official Rainbow Hero has not yet been determined. Liao Xingchen is currently a candidate, and he is already the most talented trainer we have seen in the past few decades."

“But you are even worse.”

Emperor Yan looked at Su Hao with a meaningful gaze. In fact, the three of them had long been planning how to bring Su Hao, the "chosen one," into their camp.

Of course, this is at most an olive branch; if Su Hao agrees, he will still compete with Liao Xingchen as a candidate.

Just as the observer Marshall said, Liao Xingchen was used to being lazy, and Su Hao's presence made him feel a sense of crisis.

Liao Xingchen's formidable strength is also a target for Su Hao, a rough gem whose brilliance has yet to be fully revealed.

No matter who ultimately becomes the true Rainbow Warrior, the Flame Emperor feels it's fine; it can accept it.

Liao Xingchen couldn't keep his composure either. Although he knew there could be multiple candidates for Rainbow Warrior, it was just that none of them could catch the eye of the Flame Emperor and the others.

It was rather awkward that Emperor Yan invited someone else directly in front of him.

But after a moment of silence, Liao Xingchen still spoke up: "Su Hao, I think you can consider the Flame Emperor's suggestion. Even as a candidate, the Rainbow Warrior can bring you many benefits."

Liao Xingchen did not speak to stop him, but at this moment he thought that with Su Hao's talent and character, he was indeed qualified to become a candidate for Rainbow Warrior.

This matter can only benefit him, and will not harm him. Even if he does not become a formal Rainbow Hero, this identity will definitely make Su Hao's growth smoother.

Chapter 762 Congratulations on obtaining: Everlasting Friendship of Viridian Forest

Without much deliberation, and simply because of Su Hao inside the Bright Stone, he did not accept the Yan Emperor's invitation.

After he clearly rejected Emperor Yan, Reshiram in his mental sea hummed in satisfaction, muttering that the Rainbow Hero was nothing more than a tool under Ho-Oh's command, and that his treatment was nothing compared to that of a real hero.

Emperor Yan expressed regret over Su Hao's refusal. Originally, after Su Hao became a candidate for Rainbow Warrior, he could not only touch him at will, but it wouldn't have been impossible for him to ride him.

Emperor Yan's rather manipulative remarks not only stunned Marshall, but also made Liao Xingchen chuckle, "Senior Emperor Yan, why don't you suggest something more attractive? Who would agree to something so important for such a trivial matter?"

"You're right, Su Hao."

Su Hao, feeling a pang of heartache at missing the chance to pet the big cat, stiffened for a moment and awkwardly laughed, "Hahaha... Liao Guanjun is right."

Marcia, peeking from the shadows: "........."

If I hadn't already known Su Hao's true colors, I might have actually been fooled by him.

Tsk, it seems my plan to secretly guide Emperor Yan in undermining his allies has failed.

However, Marcia was not discouraged. Since one Flame Emperor was not very tempting, she would find an opportunity to send Thunder God again. If that didn't work, she would send all three Holy Beasts. She didn't believe she couldn't defeat Su Hao.

As long as Liao Xingchen hasn't passed Lord Phoenix's Rainbow Warrior Trial, Tamarshado still has a chance!

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

After handing over all the matters, big and small, Liao Xingchen and his men, having restrained Gu Jianwo using special methods, were about to leave when he specifically reminded Su Hao: "Quickly confirm the date for entering the Northern Township Secret Realm. It's been almost a month since the Alliance approved your application!"

"Okay, okay, definitely next time."

Su Hao waved dismissively to send Liao Xingchen away, but what he was thinking about was that it wasn't yet time for him to enter the Northern Township Secret Realm*.

To get in, he'll have to wait until he raises his Master Ball ranking a bit, lest he misses the deadline. It's a small matter if he doesn't become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but it would be a big problem if he fails to snipe Long Tian.

After Liao Xingchen and his men had disappeared from sight with Gu Jianwo, Emperor Yan decided to leave. He left Su Hao with the words, "My invitation remains valid until Liao Xingchen passes the Rainbow Warrior Trial," before stepping onto the clouds that resembled volcanic smoke and quickly disappearing into the distance.

However, at this moment, Su Hao's mind was filled with the thought that the Flame Emperor was a Dou Zong, and that a Dou Zong expert was terrifyingly powerful!

If our Brother Gu could learn such a skill, he wouldn't have been teased for so long.

Lost in thought, Su Hao casually treated Tyranitar, who had been forgotten by everyone, and slipped back to the Garden of Wonders, grateful for Tyranitar's kindness.

The journey was incredibly smooth, like strolling through one's own garden, not at all like navigating the perilous depths of the Viridian Forest.

It seems that because of his actions this time, he has once again won over the collective consciousness of Viridian Forest. Even if those ignorant "new members" want to harm Su Hao, a bunch of Pokémon will jump out of the nearby bushes and gang up on them in the next second.

Su Hao even felt a sentence echoing in his mind—

[Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden quest: Guarding the Love and Peace of Viridian Forest! Reward: Everlasting Friendship of Viridian Forest]

Unfortunately, ever since the system's true nature was exposed by the Three Saints Mushroom, these few sentient stone slabs have never shown themselves again.

Inside the Mysterious Garden, I received countless gifts from wild Grass-type Pokémon along the way, including berries, herbs, and some strange stones, as well as a few decent evolution stones. Unfortunately, I didn't see any Mega Stones or Key Stones.

He checked it out when he had some free time, and found that this thing is currently incredibly popular, with prices so high that there's practically no market for it. Anyone who manages to pick one up and sell it will instantly become financially independent.

Fortunately, Su Hao had previously asked Xia Jie's grandfather to acquire a lot of Super Stones and Evolution Key Stones, so he wasn't worried about their reserves.

Surrounded by enthusiastic wild Pokémon, Su Hao arrived at the location of the giant Venusaur in the center of the flower field.

"Bana".

Upon seeing Su Hao approaching, the giant Venusaur's serious expression instantly turned friendly, and it extended its vine whips from its side towards Su Hao, as if it were learning how humans greet each other.

Su Hao reached out and shook hands with the giant Venusaur's thick vine whip, smiling as he said, "There are some things I'd like to ask you for help with."

"Bana?"

The giant Venusaur was taken aback at first, then looked flattered and patted itself with its Vine Whip. The giant Venusaur looked at Su Hao with a look of willingness to go through fire and water.

Let alone helping, it would be willing to launch a holy war of conquest against the entire Viridian Forest if its savior asked it to!

Well... but it seems like most of the overlords of Viridian Forest would switch sides before the holy war even started, so there's no need for it to make an appearance.

The giant Venusaur was lost in its own wild imagination.

At this moment, Su Hao also spoke up about needing the giant Venusaur's help: "This flower field used to grow very well, right? Were you taking care of it?"

The giant Venusaur shook its head. It didn't manage the flower field; it only made the plant wall at the edge that separated the Mysterious Garden from the outside world. The Pokémon that managed the flower field was someone else.

"Could you let that Pokémon come over here for a moment? I have a Pokémon that I'd like to learn some plant care techniques and skills."

Su Hao raised his hand and released the restrained Ye Yibu, speaking to the giant Venusaur.

"Wu~"

Yeebu greeted the giant Venusaur with an expectant look on its face.

The moment Yeeev saw this sea of ​​flowers while observing the outside world from its Poké Ball, it wanted to learn from the Pokémon that had cultivated it.

Although it spends most of its time practicing swordsmanship in preparation for future revenge, Ye Yibu has always kept in mind Su Hao's earlier advice to balance work and rest.

Just like tending to the plants in the villa at Jiangcheng University and Su Hao's villa, this interest allows Ye Yibu to recover his energy and relieve fatigue when he is tired, so that he can continue to exercise in a better state.

The giant Venusaur first glanced at Yeeev, and in that glance, it noticed something unusual.

Judging from its late-stage Elite Four level strength, this Yeebu, which possesses Gym Leader level strength, seems to be shrouded in something peculiar. That thing is mysterious and profound, making the giant Venusaur feel as if it were being pierced by something sharp just by looking at Yeebu.

That's truly amazing.

Chapter 763 The Elf Eggs of Hydreigon and Haxorus

"Bana!"

The giant Venusaur had no reason to refuse Su Hao and Ye Yibu's request. After taking a deep breath, the giant Venusaur opened its mouth and let out a heavy cry, meaning it was calling a specific Pokémon to come to the center of the flower field.

A short while later, a Lady Flower came to them.
