Chapter 246: Zacian’s Arrangement

Zacian stared at Natsume in silence.

“Ahem, is that a no?”

Zacian shook its head.

If Eternatus were to awaken, it would undoubtedly bring disaster.

Even if Zacian could stop Eternatus, it would inevitably cause significant damage to the surrounding area.

“Alright.”

Natsume wasn’t insistent on having Eternatus sleep at the farm.

However, if the opportunity arose, he wouldn’t let it slip by.

After all, while most people in this world were easy to get along with, there were still plenty of crazies out there.

Such a dangerous Pokémon was better kept at home.

“For now, you can live freely on the farm,” Natsume said, looking at Zacian. “When you have time, you can teach Diancie some moves.”

“Other than that, just eat some berries, bask in the sun, and that’s about it.”

Diancie, standing nearby, chimed in, “Diancie will study hard~”

After hearing Natsume’s words, Zacian fell silent.

If that was all, then what was the point of this human seeking it out?

After going through so much trouble to defeat it, surely it wasn’t just to have it guard the farm?

Natsume, meanwhile, pulled out his phone and began to draw today’s quest rewards.

Notice: You have obtained the treasure Black Belt.

Notice: You have obtained the treasure Black Glasses.

Notice: You have obtained the treasure Misty Seed.

“A Fairy-type treasure! Finally got one,” Natsume exclaimed, taking out the Misty Seed and handing it to Diancie.

“Diancie, this is for you.”

Diancie took the treasure from Natsume and asked curiously, “Do I just eat it like last time?”

“Yes, go ahead and eat it.”

“Yes, Natsume~”

Diancie placed the Misty Seed in its mouth.

A surge of dense Fairy-type energy instantly radiated from Diancie’s body.

Zacian couldn’t help but glance at Diancie with curiosity.

Notice: Diancie has used the treasure Misty Seed. Diancie’s level has increased to 53.

Notice: Diancie has learned Misty Terrain.

“Natsume, I feel like I’ve become much stronger,” Diancie said, opening its eyes. At the same time, a pink-glowing mist spread across the farm’s backyard.

Diancie had activated Fairy Aura.

At the same time, diamonds began to condense in the air.

Natsume, looking at the diamonds falling around them, turned to Diancie in surprise.

Name: Diancie
Type: Rock/Fairy
Level: 53
Ability: Clear Body
Individual Values: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Special Attack 31, Special Defense 31, Speed 31

According to the data, Diancie hadn’t yet learned Diamond Storm.

However, at that moment, it seemed as if diamonds were raining from the sky.

Zacian also looked up at the sky.

“Such dense life energy,” Zacian remarked. “But you haven’t yet found the key to unlocking your full power.”

As soon as Zacian finished speaking, the scattered diamonds quickly dissipated.

Diancie sighed regretfully. “Too bad, I failed again.”

“I thought I’d succeed this time.”

“But next time, I’ll definitely get it.”

Diancie was used to failure, so it remained cheerful, clearly feeling its own progress.

Natsume smiled. “Yes, you’ll definitely get it.”

“Oh, by the way, what’s the deal with this sword?”

Natsume suddenly remembered the changes to the sword and pulled out the now-ordinary sacred sword to show Zacian.

Zacian explained.

It was because Natsume had gained the sword’s recognition, allowing him to wield its power.

Natsume possessed a mysterious energy, which was why he could borrow Zacian’s weapon to unleash that strike.

Additionally, Zacian didn’t mind Natsume continuing to carry the sacred sword.

Natsume nodded. “Got it.”

“Well, that’s that for now.”

“Diancie, why don’t you show Zacian around the farm?”

“Yes, Natsume.”

Zacian, for its part, had already accepted Natsume’s arrangement.

Zacian thought to itself, Let me see for myself how you’ve managed to earn the protection of so many powerful beings.

“Indeedee~”

Indeedee came out with a plate of fruit and placed it in front of Zacian.

Zacian opened its mouth and sampled a piece.

“Zacian~”

At least the food here was good.

Zacian thought to itself as it took another bite.

Natsume returned inside.

Kiko immediately grabbed Natsume, looking shocked. “Natsume, how did you manage to capture Great Britain’s legendary guardian?”

In Great Britain’s legends, Aegislash had always played the role of a guardian deity.

So it wasn’t strange for Kiko to react this way.

Mikoharu, standing nearby, was excited. “So you took everyone to challenge the legendary Zacian?”

“Did you win? Did you win?”

“Otherwise Zacian wouldn’t be here.”

“This is unbelievable.”

“It’s Zacian, after all.”

“Is it really Zacian?”

Mikoharu looked extremely excited, her eyes practically glowing as she looked at Natsume.

Natsume smiled at the two girls. “Of course it’s real.”

“Also, Zacian will probably be staying here for a while.”

“So there’s no need to be nervous. Just treat it like any other member of the farm.”

Kiko looked out the window.

Zacian was following Diancie toward the farm’s orchard.

Florges and Ribombee had also emerged from the garden, curiously observing the legendary Pokémon.

As Fairy-type Pokémon, they could naturally sense the dense fairy energy emanating from Zacian.

Kiko murmured, “Many people spend their lives chasing legends.”

“But here on the farm, it feels like we’re living among them.”

Mikoharu nodded in agreement. “Yeah, seeing Diancie walking beside Zacian, and thinking about Jirachi sleeping beneath the farm…”

“Not to mention Manaphy and Little Lugia, who drop by for meals from time to time. Suddenly, seeing Zacian doesn’t seem like such a big deal anymore.”
