Chapter 210:Diancie Seeking Help! Join the Farm!

Behind the farm cabin, under the lush Cornn Berry vines laden with fruits, 

Diancie reached up to pluck a purple fruit from the Cornn Berry vine and popped it into her mouth.

"Mmm~ So sweet."

Diancie exclaimed, "It's a flavor I’ve never experienced before."

"Indeedee~"

Indeedee smiled narrowly, delighted to see its favorite fruit appreciated.

Bam~

From below the mountain came the booming sounds of moves.

"What’s going on down there?"

Diancie asked curiously as she peered toward below the mountain. "So many people and Pokémon."

"Don't worry."

Indeedee replied softly, "They're just having a gym battle."

"Gym battle?"

Diancie tilted her head, asking, "What’s that?"

Indeedee explained, "A gym battle is a challenge that Pokémon trainers undertake to prove their strength against our gym."

"The farm's Fighting-type Pokémon all enjoy participating in gym battles."

"Would you like to go watch, Princess Diancie?"

"Is that allowed?"

"Of course! Please follow me."

Indeedee led Diancie past the front of the room.

At the front of the room, the beautiful sea of flowers immediately caught Diancie's attention.

Their swaying forms amazed her.

In the garden, Combee were busy collecting honey, while a Teddiursa trailed behind them, asking for nectar.

The Combee had friendly dispositions and usually didn’t refuse.

Florges noticed Diancie and smiled at her.

Diancie quickly returned the smile.

Her expression was akin to Meltan seeing the enormous diamond, perhaps even more exaggerated.

Having lived in the underground world, Diancie had never seen such a scene before.

Diancie followed Indeedee along the path toward below the mountain.

Along the way, a Timburr carrying wood hurried past Diancie with a grunt. 

Diancie watched the Timburr’s retreating figure with curiosity.

"Where are they going?"

Indeedee explained to Diancie, "The Natural Timber Association is coming to collect wood today."

"So the Timburr are moving the trees that Scyther chopped down to below the mountain."

Diancie nodded, somewhat understanding.

As Diancie and Indeedee chatted, they arrived at below the mountain.

At below the mountain, there was a sign that read "No Entry to the Mountain."

Next to the sign sat a Cutiefly.

There were quite a few people taking photos in the area.

A photographer, holding a camera, smiled at his model, saying, "Come on, look at the lens."

"Yes, turn your face a little to the side and look at me, look at me!"

In the sunlight, Diancie and Indeedee suddenly walked out from under the tree shadows into the view of the lens.

The photographer was momentarily stunned.

He looked up in shock at the emerging Diancie.

"Diancie?"

The photographer quickly pointed the lens at Diancie.

The model, posing, suddenly noticed that the surroundings had quieted down, and all eyes were fixed on her.

The model couldn’t help but break into a more confident smile.

"Um, why is everyone looking at me?"

A slightly confused voice came from beside the model.

"Indeedee~"

Indeedee responded with a smile.

The model was taken aback and turned to look behind her.

The pink diamond crown sparkled under the sunlight.

The white dress neatly covered her body.

The legendary Pokémon had suddenly stepped out from the shadows and stood before them.

The model’s legs weakened, and she nearly fell to the ground.

"So, so beautiful."

Diancie smiled and said to her, "Thank you."

Indeedee led Diancie toward the battle arena.

"Wait, am I famous?"

Diancie followed Indeedee toward the battle arena, saying, "It seems like everyone knows who I am."

"Of course you are famous, Rotom."

Rotom flew up beside Diancie and explained, "In the human world, Diancie is regarded as a Pokémon of legend, a Mythical Pokémon."

Diancie didn’t seem to have such awareness of her identity.

In fact, most Pokémon didn’t pay too much attention to the Pokémon of legends either.

After hearing Rotom’s words, Diancie remarked in surprise, "So I really am that impressive?"

Rotom nodded emphatically, "You really are incredible!"

At the battle arena's edge.

"Go, Kommo-o!"

"Kommo-o!"

Kommo-o let out a fierce roar.

It sprinted rapidly, closing in on a Scrafty.

Scrafty looked nervously at Kommo-o, raising its hands to shield itself.

"Kommo-o!"

Kommo-o crouched down and released a noble roar once again.

The punch broke through Scrafty's attempts to block and struck it squarely on the chin.

Fighting-type move: Sky Uppercut!

Bang!

The tremendous impact sent Scrafty soaring into the air.

Kommo-o raised its arm to the sky.

The air around them stirred.

Vacuum Wave!

Boom~

Under the impact of Vacuum Wave, Scrafty's body flew up as if it had been thrown high into the air, then fell to the ground, completely losing its battle capability.

Rotom immediately announced, "Scrafty has lost its battle capability; Kommo-o is the winner."

"Kommo-o~"

Kommo-o raised its fist, and the surrounding crowd erupted in excited cheers.

Battles between Fighting-type Pokémon always stirred people's blood, especially with a near-legendary Pokémon like Kommo-o on the field!

"Hawlucha!"

Just then, Hawlucha suddenly flew in.

It landed on the railing at the edge of the arena, spreading its arms wide and lifting its head high.

The farm's Fighting-type Pokémon often got excited from battles and would rush straight to the arena to challenge the victorious side.

Hawlucha did this quite often.

"Get ready to fight, get ready to fight~"

"Come on, Hawlucha, let’s see your dazzling dance moves."

The audience around them became even more excited at this scene.

"What a lively atmosphere."

A camera moved slowly across the area.

Miyu was filming here.

"Everyone is so enthusiastic."

Observing the scene in the battle arena, Miyu remarked, "The Pokémon on the farm live freely here, battling and working."

"It truly is the countryside life of my dreams."

Beside Miyu, Ayuu adjusted the lens of the camera, saying, "Yeah."

"And there are all sorts of Pokémon here, even Diancie!"

"Diancie!!!"

The previously noisy battle arena fell suddenly silent.

All eyes turned to Diancie.

This made both Kommo-o and Hawlucha, who were ready for battle, feel slightly uncomfortable.

They turned to look outside the arena at Diancie, who stood among the crowd.

Though Diancie merely stood quietly, her radiant form made it impossible to ignore her presence.

"Diancie, is that really Diancie?"

Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "How could Diancie be here?"

Another person remained calm, saying, "Since I saw little Lugia here, I’ve felt that it’s normal for any Pokémon to appear on the farm."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem that way. After all, if it’s just a mythical Pokémon..."

Someone glanced toward the roadside.

Several Meltan were helping Timburr carry wood.

The Meltan were running around the farm every day.

Seeing them made some people feel that perhaps mythical Pokémon weren’t so mysterious after all.

"Flygon~"

The sound of Flygon echoed from the sky.

Flygon flew down toward the farm.

Misaki, on Flygon’s back, looked down and said, "It really is Diancie."

"It’s so beautiful."

Natsume also turned his gaze to Diancie. 

Name: Diancie  
Type: Rock / Fairy  
Level: 1v38  
Ability: Clear Body  
Individual Values: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Special Attack 31, Special Defense 31, Speed 31

Potential: Godly Level  Potential: Godly Level  

This Diancie's level wasn’t very high, suggesting that it might be a Pokémon that had just been born.

Indeedee brought Diancie to the empty plot of land, watching as Natsume and Flygon descended from the sky.

"Indeedee~"

Indeedee introduced Natsume to Diancie.

Diancie quickly bowed and said, "Natsume, I am Diancie from the Diamond Kingdom."

"I was invited by Lord Meltan to seek help from Lord Natsume."

Diancie clearly understood human language.

As she spoke, the people around began to whisper among themselves.

"The Diamond Kingdom? Is there really such a place?"

"Did Diancie just say she came to seek help from Natsume gym leader? But what kind of help?"

"Could something major have happened in the Diamond Kingdom?"

"But has Natsume gym leader’s fame really grown that much?"

"Even legendary Pokémon are coming to seek help from Natsume gym leader."

As the crowd discussed, a Meltan suddenly charged toward Natsume.

"Meltan!"

The Meltan angrily initiated a "Double-Edge."

Bam~

Meltan collided with Natsume's body.

Natsume rubbed his belly, looking at it with a confused expression, "What’s wrong, Meltan?"

"Meltan!"

Meltan angrily placed its hands on its hips and began to gesture animatedly, recounting its miserable experiences to Natsume.

Meltan explained how it had been forgotten, how it was captured, and how it eventually escaped with Diancie, even managing to defeat Sableye along the way.

"Meltan~"

Meltan gestured dramatically, explaining how it brought Diancie back to the farm after everything that happened.

Natsume felt quite embarrassed after hearing Meltan's story.

He had genuinely not noticed that one Meltan was missing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. How about I get you something to eat?"

As Natsume spoke, he snapped his fingers.

A pile of premium screws appeared instantly, completely surrounding Meltan's body.

Meltan squeezed itself out of the screws.

Its eyes lit up as it looked at the surrounding screws, and a happy expression spread across its face.

"Meltan~"

I forgive you.

What an easygoing Meltan!

At this moment, Diancie said, "Though there are some discrepancies with what Meltan said, it’s mostly accurate."

Natsume nodded, "I understand."

"In any case, let’s head back up the mountain."

After saying that, Natsume led everyone and used Teleport.

Before Diancie could react, she was instantly taken away by Natsume.

As Natsume left, the crowd erupted in surprise.

"Don't do that, Natsume gym leader!"

"What just happened? At least let us hear what’s going on!"

Under the shade of the trees, Serperior lifted its head slightly.

Pop~

It flicked its Vine Whip.

The surrounding crowd fell silent immediately.

Before long, everyone redirected their attention to the battle arena.

The place became lively again.

Meanwhile, inside the farm cabin.

"Have you explored the farm already?"

Natsume accepted the cup of tea that Indeedee handed him.

"Yes, Natsume."

Diancie stood by the window, her small hands clasped in front of her, looking a bit nervous.

"Ribombee~"

Ribombee flew in through the window.

It brought Diancie a Pollen Ball.

"Is this for me?"

Ribombee nodded.

Diancie took it with both hands, saying, "Thank you."

Misaki, standing beside Natsume, said, "Even though it’s a Pokémon of legend, it seems like a nice child."

After Diancie finished enjoying the Pollen Ball, Natsume asked, "You mentioned that you wanted to seek my help?"

"Yes, Natsume."

"Can you tell me specifically what the issue is?"

"Of course."

Diancie looked at Natsume and shared her situation.

"In my country, there is a sacred diamond."

"It is the source of life for our country, but now, the power of the sacred diamond is fading."

"The Carbink minister said that only I can create the sacred diamond."

"So I came here at the recommendation of Meltan, who said that Natsume can surely help me learn how to create the sacred diamond."

After finishing, Diancie looked at Natsume with hope in her eyes.

Natsume, having heard all of this, understood Diancie's intentions.

"That's how it is."

Diancie eagerly asked, "So, Natsume, can you teach me how to create the sacred diamond?"

Natsume shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, but I don't know how to create the sacred diamond."

"Ah..."

Diancie suddenly seemed at a loss.

Natsume continued, "However, even though I can't teach you that move, I should be able to help you unlock your abilities."

"Unlock?"

"Is it similar to how Lord Xerneas would do it?"

Diancie added, "The Carbink minister said that Lord Xerneas could also help me unlock my abilities."

"So it is currently leading people to find traces of Xerneas."

Natsume said, "Although I've never seen Xerneas, if it is indeed the god of life, it should certainly have strength."

Natsume continued, "And my method is actually quite simple."

"The sacred diamond is likely related to a move called Diamond Storm."

"Once you learn this move, you should be able to create the sacred diamond."

Diancie looked puzzled, "Diamond Storm?"

"I haven't heard of that move."

Natsume looked at Diancie and asked, "You haven’t heard of it?"

"Have you only been with the Carbink all this time?"

Diancie nodded.

"I was raised by the Carbink minister from the moment I was born."

"To be honest, this is my first time out of the underground world."

"I see."

Natsume thought for a moment before speaking, "Diamond Storm, as far as I understand, is a special move unique to your Diancie tribe."

"Of course, learning this move may not be an easy task."

Diancie replied immediately, "That’s fine, I can do anything."

Natsume smiled at Diancie's determination, saying, "No need to go so far."

"When Pokémon want to learn a move, there are generally two ways."

"The first is to learn the move through continuous practice."

Diancie recalled the scene of herself practicing creating the sacred diamond.

She worked hard at practicing, but always felt something was missing.

Feeling frustrated, Diancie said, "I don’t think relying on practice is suitable for me."

Natsume replied, "The second method is more direct."

"What is it?"

"Increase your strength and level."

"As your level increases, you'll naturally understand the talent move within your bloodline."

Diancie asked, "But how can I quickly increase my strength?"

Natsume smiled slightly and said, "Join the farm."

"The farm's battle arena allows you to quickly increase your strength through battles."

"So, how about giving it a try?"
