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

Xia Chen didn't rush to the Super Evolution Research Institute located on the east side of Liuli Island, where the legendary megalith was placed. Instead, he first visited Mikoli at the crater of the main island.

I heard that this guy participated in the Hoenn region championship this year. He defeated three of the Elite Four and the former champion Cloud in succession, but he didn't take over the championship.

Hey, it's just for fun.

In the end, his teacher Adam took over the responsibility of becoming the Hoenn champion.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the next champion should be Steven, the young master of Devon, who is hailed as one of the Diamond Generation trainers.

This wasn't Xia Chen's conjecture based on his past life's memories; it was something almost everyone in Hoenn was certain of.

This star trainer, whose main profession is mining, already possessed gym-level strength at the World Youth Championships a year ago.

Spurred on by Xia Chen, he has now begun preparing for the King of Kings Challenge.

With his resources, background, and talent, becoming the Hoenn Champion is only a matter of time.

Incidentally, the widely circulated "Golden Generation" refers to the talented young people born in the 90s, led by Cynthia Ardern.

The "Diamond Generation" represents the public's fervent anticipation for rising stars like Daigo, Aomori, and Nemo.

As for Xia Chen?

He has transcended the limitations of the so-called era of gold and diamonds, and is destined to become the most unique legend of his generation.

When Xia Chen visited Michael, Daigo happened to be there as well.

Michael is training intensively for his best friend Daigo's Elite Four challenge.

The two were delighted to see Xia Chen's visit.

However, Xia Chen soon realized that this was not a joyous reunion with a long-lost friend.

"I heard you've tamed Diancie? Where is she? Let us see her!"

Photos of Xia Chen and Tianxi shopping in Biyi City have long been circulating online, becoming one of the hottest topics on the internet recently.

Xia Chen thus solidified his title as the [Friend of the Legendary Elf].

Seeing his two best buddies looking at him with almost identical expectant expressions, Xia Chen felt both helpless and amused.

These two guys, one has an extreme pursuit of beauty, and the other has a fanatical love for stones.

Well, now that's great, Diancie has fulfilled both of her two requests with just one Pokémon.

"Let's make this clear first: you can look, but don't touch me."

Before taking out Diancie's Poké Ball, Xia Chen warned, "Dianci is only traveling with me temporarily; I haven't caught her yet."

Michael and Daigo nodded in agreement, and pretended not to hear Xia Chen's last sentence.

Didn't you manage to capture Diancie?

The two sneered inwardly. If Xia Chen hadn't taken Tianxi with him before leaving Carlos, they would never have pursued art or dug for stones again!

…………

Unable to resist the intense gazes of the two, Xia Chen summoned Diancie from his Poké Ball.

A flash of white light, and the delicate, sparkling diamond princess appeared in this art-filled reception room.

She looked around curiously, and then she saw two strange uncles staring at her with fanatical eyes.

Startled, she nearly succumbed to a diamond storm, but Xia Chen pulled her away and comforted her in time, preventing a tragedy.

"It's okay. They may look a little... strange, but they are all my good friends."

Xia Chen's words eased the tension in Tianxi's heart slightly, but she still hid behind Xia Chen and refused to come out.

"Look how scared you guys have of Diancie."

Xia Chen complained to the two unsophisticated people, "Haven't you ever seen an elf before?"

"I've met you."

Mikoli's face was still full of amazement. "But I have never seen such a beautiful elf. Please forgive my intrusion, Miss Diancie."

Daigo, not to be outdone, also expressed his admiration, "Dianci, you're even cuter than Shiny Metagross... no, you're simply the most dazzling being in the world!"

Xia Chen was speechless. "Did you two consider Milotic and Metagross's feelings when you said that?"

This is what a fickle, scumbag boyfriend should be like!

After a barrage of flowery praise, Diancie finally got used to Michael and Daigo's exaggerated speaking style.

She slowly moved outwards from behind Xia Chen, her hazy, alluring beauty driving the two of them crazy again.

Tianxi, who had just come out, was so frightened that she hid behind Xia Chen again.

It took a while for Michael and Goku to return to normal.

"It's not our fault."

Mikoli began to protest, "Not everyone is like you, a friend of legendary spirits, able to come into contact with them so easily, especially such adorable legendary spirits."

Daigo nodded in agreement. "Do you have something that can attract legendary Pokémon, like a special version of the Golden Spray?"

This thing is a Pokémon gadget developed by the Silver Company, used to attract wild Pokémon in the wild.

"There's no such thing in this world."

Xia Chen shrugged helplessly, "Maybe they just click with me."

Michael sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing his legs.

"So what brings you all the way from Carlos, you busy person? It can't be just to show off Diancie, right?"

"I'm not here to show off at all, okay?"

Xia Chen said irritably, "My main purpose in coming here is to help Diancie get a super stone."

"Super Stone?"

Mikoli exclaimed in surprise, "Tianci can also Mega Evolve?"

Xia Chen's heart sank, realizing that he seemed to have revealed something—

Without any precedent, how did you know that Diancie could also Mega Evolve?

He quickly added, "I'm not entirely sure either, but there's no harm in trying."

Mikoli didn't think much of it and shrugged, "Whatever you want. Anyway, you're the [Father of Hyper-Evolution], so I'll reserve a spot for you at the research institute."

"You don't know unless you're in charge. There are countless people lining up outside trying to get a spot to convert into a Super Stone. Of course, if you were in that situation, you would definitely have the authority to cut in line."

"Not to mention the Super Stone used in the experiment on Diancie..."

Mikoli muttered to herself, suddenly imagining what Super Diancie would look like.

"If the ordinary Diancie is already so elegant, how stunning will the super Diancie be?"

Daigo suddenly interjected, "Xia Chen, before we go to the research institute, could I ask you for a favor?"

Xia Chen asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Daigo earnestly said, "Please let me have a Pokémon battle with Diancie."

"Ah... I can't make that decision myself, let me ask her."

As he had said before, Diancie was not his elf.

Xia Chen looked at Tianxi, wanting to ask for her opinion.

Diancie tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Elf battles... is that what you and Sister Korni did the other day, Xia Chen?"

Xia Chen was speechless. Did Diancie not even know what Pokémon battles were?

Fighting is something that happens frequently among wild Pokémon.

However, considering her pampered status in the mining country, it's not surprising that she's never been in a fight.

Thinking this through, Xia Chen explained, "That's right, this is a method used by elves to train them. How about it, Diancie, do you want to try it?"

"A trial, perhaps..."

Diancie paused slightly, suddenly remembering what Xerneas had told her—

You yourself are the one who truly gives birth to life.

But how can life be conceived?

Diancie seems to have gained a little understanding now; at the very least, she needs to become stronger and experience different things in this world.

So let's start with Pokémon battles, something we've never tried before!

With that in mind, Diancie nodded firmly, "Yes, Diancie wants to try Pokémon battles!"

Having obtained Diancie's consent, Xia Chen turned to Daigo and smiled slightly, "As you wish, let's battle!"

Chapter 430 Is Xia Chen finally going to crash and burn?

Although Princess Diancie of the Diamond Mine Kingdom, who has lived a life of luxury since birth, has never fought, she is still quite strong.

In terms of energy intensity, it is roughly equivalent to Draco, possessing power close to that of a Champion.

As a legendary Pokémon, Diancie's base stats in the game are also very standard, at 600, which is common to small mythical Pokémon and comparable to many pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Although... half of those 600 points were allocated to defense, making him a very typical player who specializes in only one area.

But actually, all of these are fine; you can use it as a less extreme high-end teapot.

Xia Chen's biggest concern is that Diancie has no combat experience.

There really isn't a single bit.

So much so that the few little diamond guards who came with Diancie were terrified when they heard that their noble princess was going to the battlefield in person, and wished they could go to war in her place.

Unfortunately, Diancie was determined to experience the battle, so the few little diamonds had to give up.

Xia Chen, who was in charge of the command, was now in a dilemma.

Diancie's first battle must be one that leaves her with a good memory.

But firstly, there was no tacit understanding; secondly, there was no experience; and thirdly, Daigo-san was no pushover.

Moreover, Diancie had never been nurtured by him.
