Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 417 Combating Piracy and Gigantamaxing (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Diamond Kingdom is a dreamlike country in the fairy tales that have been passed down in the Carlos region for a long time. Few adventurers have ever seen it with their own eyes, and it was once suspected to be a fictional country that does not exist.

And now I'm seeing it with my own eyes...

Mingyou and Pengpeng, without prior arrangement, excitedly took out their phones to take photos and check in.

We are now more than 6,000 meters underground. Although it is not as outrageous as the Paddy Caves, it would be very difficult to get in here without some special means if it weren't for the small diamonds leading the way.

"Arrived at the lowest level of Carlos, the Diamond Mining Country. It's so beautiful..."

Mingyou couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The entire underground space was almost entirely covered with glowing diamonds, which served as bridges over the rivers formed by the flowing underground water, or formed architectural shapes, dazzling the eye. These diamonds also extended upwards, supporting the ceiling, and from a distance, it looked like a painting of a starry night sky in the underground world.

But just then, a loud explosion rang out in the distance, and a diamond pillar supporting the ceiling collapsed in the blast, turning into fragments and falling to the ground...

"Are those the guys?"

Mingyou asked calmly. Although he had not yet seen the enemy, such behavior that ruined the beautiful scenery had already aroused his dissatisfaction.

The little diamond in her arms nodded.

Those humans came for the "Holy Diamond," which Queen Diancie spent thousands of years creating and which could sustain the diamond mining nation's activities for millions of years.

Since the Holy Diamond had long been part of the Diamond Mining Kingdom, they launched attacks on the kingdom in order to find it. The Queen tried to stop them but was defeated and imprisoned.

Because Diancie and the Holy Diamond share the same origin, if they are too far apart, the Holy Diamond's energy will dissipate more rapidly. These humans' goal is to take the Queen and the diamond together...

As the little diamonds recounted these events, they were filled with anger, yet they also lamented their own incompetence, unable to offer any help to the Queen in her battle against the enemy, for they were not born to be a fighting race.

After roughly understanding what had happened, Mingyou's expression turned slightly grave: "Those are several divisions, yet they are so arrogant, daring to destroy a country."

"Ding ding..."

There are many of them, and they are very capable.

"Alright."

Mingyou didn't ask any more questions. She just wanted him to lead the way here, and she would take care of the rest.

So he rode Garchomp directly. The underground space where the Diamond Kingdom was located was quite large. Although there were many diamonds used to support the ceiling, thanks to the destruction by this group, it cleared the obstacles for him. Next, he just had to deal with the enemy!

"superior!"

"shark!"

Garchomp unleashed a Dragon Pulse downwards, destroying many strange devices placed on the ground under the beam's attack.

Mingyou didn't know what these things were, but he guessed they were devices for collecting energy or detecting objects. However, what he wanted to do was to attract attention.

Soon, countless ants covered in steel armor emerged from the ground, so densely packed that it was almost unsettling to look at them from above.

"Ding ding!"

These are the things that invaded the land with these ants. Their supposedly sturdy bodies were as fragile as paper under the ants' onslaught, and they were devoured one by one.

Mingyou soothed the agitated Little Diamond, her gaze fixed on the area below. There were so many iron ants! This underground space was the iron ants' home turf, and they were all Little Diamond's natural enemies. The enemy was quite powerful, managing to cultivate so many iron ants.

but……

"I'm a pest control expert!"

"Lai Ao..."

Reshiram's helpless cry rang out. Everyone else was thinking about using themselves to rule the world, but you just spend all day grilling, boiling water, and acting as insecticide... Don't use my power for things like this!

Despite the helplessness, the body still obeyed. In coordination with Mingyou's waved right hand, the blue flames swept fiercely, igniting all the iron ants in an instant, emitting a burning smell. In the blink of an eye, all the iron ants had lost their ability to fight.

"..."

Even the tiny diamonds were stunned.

How could these ants, which couldn't even defeat a single one, be so easily wiped out by this human?

"These are just appetizers, shouldn't the big ones be coming soon? Why all this commotion!"

Mingyou waited for the mastermind to appear, while also pondering who this person was who had cultivated so many iron ants to sabotage the diamond mining nation.

Before he could think it through, a woman's voice, tinged with disdain, suddenly came from afar: "What happens here shouldn't concern you, right?"

"It's hard to say!"

Mingyou looked over with a smile and saw that the figure standing on top of a mining truck was a tall woman wearing a safety helmet, and her face was full of disgust and anger towards her.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Mingyou already knew what kind of force she was from. He had seen this person online before. She was the developer of the Giant Bracelet, the vice president and part-time president's secretary of the Marocmon Group, and was known as a woman who was not to be trifled with—Olive!

Unexpectedly, it was the Maroccomont Group again.

First the Ether Foundation, and now the Diamond Mining Nation—what are these guys up to? Or rather, Loz… there's something seriously wrong with him!

Olive completely revealed her true nature, her face contorted in a grotesque expression. She would never let Mingyou, an enemy of the Marocmon Group, go, especially since he had come all the way here.

Although President Lotz had said he wanted to keep Mingyou around to investigate her secrets, she couldn't tolerate it because Mingyou had done something that infuriated her...

"You bastard, bring me the Max Arm!"

"ha?"

Hearing this woman throwing a tantrum at him, Mingyou was slightly taken aback. What the hell?

If you want them, don't you have plenty?

Seeing him feign ignorance, Olive gritted her teeth and shouted, "Don't think I don't know! I already know you modified the Dynamax Band I developed, and I already know about you letting Eevee use Dynamax in the Unova region. If it weren't for President Rose, I definitely would have..."

Before she could finish speaking, Olive realized she had lost control of her emotions and said too much, so she quickly calmed herself down and remained composed.

When Mingyou overheard the key points in the other party's words, she finally understood why the Marocmont Group had set its sights on her.

After all, when Ponpo was Dynamaxed in Giant's Cave, there were quite a few Team Plasma members present. Most of them ran away afterwards, so maybe someone took pictures out of curiosity...

To avoid involving Xiaoyou, he chuckled and dropped the pretense, revealing his enormous wristband as he replied, "If this is what you're trying to say, well, it was indeed me who modified it. It wasn't difficult at all."

"hateful!"

"Stop your incompetent rage! I'd like to know what you're trying to achieve by targeting Holy Diamond. After all you've done in Diamond Country, hurting so many innocent Pokémon, don't think you can get away with it!"

Mingyou's tone gradually turned cold. He had decided today that he would not let these guys go. Even if Olive was included, and the other side had dozens of people, it would only delay him a little.

Olive continued to control her emotions. As the vice president of the Marocomon Group, she was first-rate in business negotiations and judgment, so she naturally wouldn't let the other party deliberately provoke her and try to extract information from her.

With one hand on her hip, she noticed the little diamond ring being held by Mingyou and replied with a smile, "I see. Is this to get revenge for those guys who abandoned the Queen and ran away? What a kind person."

"Don't give me the 'nice guy' card."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mingyou immediately launched an attack, waving her hand and shouting, "Meteor Shower!"

"shark!"

Garchomp opened its mouth, and a ball of energy began to condense. Then, with a bang, it shot forward. The energy exploded and disintegrated in mid-air, falling towards Olive and the others like a meteor.

Battle is imminent.

Olive crossed her arms, fully prepared, and exclaimed, "Is that all?!"

As she spoke, her subordinates immediately began to operate something, and in that instant, a small diamond fragment was thrown into the air, its body growing larger and larger, blocking the meteor shower like a boulder.

"Um?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback. Looking at the little diamond that had suddenly Dynamaxed in front of him, he felt incredulous. Could it be that the Marocmon Group could also use Dynamax in areas outside of Galar? Didn't Xiaoyou say that they hadn't succeeded yet?

Just as he was wondering, the little diamond suddenly exploded and then shrank in everyone's sight until it returned to its original size. It had clearly used its type advantage to negate the meteor shower, but it only lasted for ten seconds before deactivating its Dynamax form.

Looking at the small diamond fragment lying on the ground, Mingyou vaguely guessed what was going on. Her eyes gradually turned dangerous as she spoke in a deep voice, "You used iron ants to collect large quantities of small diamond fragments just to conduct some shady experiments deep underground, right?"

These guys have been in the diamond mining country for half a year. If they are secretly conducting experiments here, it's normal that Xiaoyou and the others don't know.

As for the content of the experiment, it was of course to use these small diamonds to conduct a Dynamax experiment. Moreover, since the Dynamax Bracer was not used, it must have been some kind of device that loaded Dynamax energy and forcibly injected it to achieve Dynamax.

But as the developer of the Max Band, Olive must have known how much damage forcibly injecting Max Energy would cause to Pokémon. Knowing this, she still did it... As a researcher, she was born worse off!

The little diamond, held in someone's arms, turned pale and froze completely after learning what had happened to its captured companions. It couldn't bear to imagine it...

Olive, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. She was the one who created the Dynamax Band, and it was none of this guy's business how to use it. As the original author, she wanted to crack down on those who used pirated Dynamax bands!

But just then, Little Diamond suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded Mingyou.

"Ding ding!"

"Huh? You mean, the ones who defeated your queen were several super-sized Pokémon? Mega Evolution lost to Dynamax...?"
