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

He considered how to foster a healthy competitive relationship within the team, one that would help Pokémon grow through competition, but also how to maintain a balance to prevent conflicts from damaging the relationship.

After much deliberation, Su Hao decided to let Little Diamond and Firefly train each other first.

Controlling the power of moves to condense into stones and then manipulating those stones to track Litten can train Little Diamond's energy control ability.

In contrast, the Litten, which is being chased by rocks, can improve its evasion ability while dodging the rocks, and because it is constantly in motion, it can also improve its physical strength.

In addition to this method, Su Hao also plans to implement a similar approach, such as Litten using close-range attacks on Little Diamond to hone the sharpness of its moves. Little Diamond can train the hardness of its ore body without using various defensive moves.

With nimble steps, Firefly darted to the other side of the training field in a few quick movements, while Little Diamond began to prepare to gather primal power.

"Meow!" (Ready!) A clear meow came from the other side.

Standing opposite, the Firefly told Little Diamond that it was ready, and Little Diamond launched the prepared rock at the Firefly.

The stone, manipulated by the small diamond, tore through the air and shot towards the Firefly like a bullet.

Firefly lowered its body slightly, its red pupils, encased in bright yellow irises, staring intently at the incoming rock.

The irregularly shaped stones came from all directions. Unlike its other kind, the Firefly had excellent eyesight and a keen sense of timing since birth. In the blink of an eye, the Firefly seized a gap in the net of stones.

The fire-spotted cat deftly evaded the first wave of rocks with a light effort, its limbs covered in red and black fur.

The little diamond, whose attack was dodged by the fire-spotted cat, was not in a hurry. It managed to control the flying stone to return to its original position with a little effort.

And so, the training of the two Pokémon officially began.

Seeing that Litten and Little Diamond's training was progressing well, Su Hao also chose a place where he was less likely to be accidentally injured and began to cultivate his Aura Power.

And so, Su Hao, Fire Spotted Cat, and Little Diamond continued their training and battles every day.

The start of the school year is approaching.

------------

[Recently, the Elite Four Challenge between Dragon-type Elite Four Champion Mr. Lancelot and Ice-type Elite Four Champion trainer Ms. Hiroaki, the number one Master Ball-level trainer, took place at the Moltres Arena in the Imperial Capital.]

Despite being at a type disadvantage, Dragon-type Elite Four member, Mr. Haku, defeated Ms. Hiroaki by a score of 4:6 with overwhelming strength.

As expected of the strongest Elite Four and Champion in recent years, where exactly is the trainer with the power to defeat the current Elite Four and Champion and usher in a new era?

Where is it?!

[This concludes our report by reporter Jiang Feng.]

A hot cat with a light blue silk scarf around its neck and a small silver bell hanging from it was lying comfortably on Su Hao's lap, enjoying the pampering of its human.

The little diamond-studded girl next to her was intently watching the news, wearing a pink diamond on her head.

While petting the hot cat, Su Hao turned his gaze to his father, who was sitting on the other side, and asked his question.

"Old Su, I remember you were also ranked in the top 100 of the Masters level, right?"

"Don't call me Old Su, call me Dad." Su's father nodded, responding to Su Hao directly with body language.

Su Hao pursed his lips and asked again, "Is the difference between a Champion-level trainer and a true Elite Four member really that big?"

Upon hearing his son's question, Mr. Su was uncharacteristically momentarily speechless.

After a moment's thought, Su's father replied, "Most trainers ranked between 100th and 30th in the Master Ball are like me, possessing one or two Elite Four level Pokémon."

"Although we possess Champion-level combat power, we are still at the Gym Leader level in the final analysis."

"As I've told you before, the trainer levels certified by the Shenzhou Alliance start from the professional level. Professional trainers are required to have six Pokémon, and all six Pokémon must have professional-level combat power. Gym-level trainers are required to have a whole team of gym-level combat power, while Elite Four trainers are required to have a whole team of Elite Four-level Pokémon."

"Starting from the top 30, each contestant has at least a whole team, which is six Pokémon with Champion-level strength."

"Our Divine Continent Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings are among the best of the Heavenly King level, and this Dragon Heavenly King is even rumored to be the strongest below the champion."

"As for the strength of the league champions..."

At this point, Su Xu's expression stiffened a bit: "He's a few years younger than your father, but his talent and strength are among the best in the world."

"So even with the advantage of specialized attributes, overwhelming strength can ignore this weakness."

"The gap in strength has meant that no one has been able to succeed the king through the challenger tournament in recent years. At that time, we can only choose a suitable player to succeed him."

Su's father sighed. As a gym leader in the Shenzhou League, he naturally knew some inside information.

Although the Shenzhou League is currently still the world's number one powerhouse, as time goes on, other leagues have more or less produced trainers who can challenge their league's Elite Four.

Although the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion are currently holding the fort, it won't be long before the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion, who are over 35 years old, will be unable to participate in the World Championships. Then, who will the Shenzhou Alliance send to fight them?

According to the pre-determined rules, these large-scale events are dominated by young people, while veteran powerhouses have long since retired behind the scenes.

Chapter 21 Before the Start of School

Su Hao was unaware of his father's worries. Before going to bed, he opened the control panel.

Name: Su Hao

Gender: Male

Age: [17 years old]

Attribute: [Normal, Fighting]

Special Ability: [Aura Force (Intermediate)]

Moves: [Waveguide Resonance, Wave Missile]

Pokémon: DiamondCrush, Litten

System currency: (25,000)

Items: [High-grade rock, Fairy-type energy pink diamond x5, (some miscellaneous items stored by the host)]

After half a month of diligent training, Su Hao's waveguide power finally broke through to the intermediate level three days ago, and his detection range expanded to about fifty meters in diameter around him.

Then, perhaps because of his exceptional talent, after breaking through to the intermediate level of waveguide power, Su Hao immediately began to cultivate the waveguide synchronous resonance technique and wave missile from the waveguide manual.

He mastered these two techniques after only three days of training.

Yesterday, when Su Hao went to the Spiral Secret Realm for practical combat, he tried it out with the Flying Mantis Clan Chief.

The wave missile he condensed with all his might was so powerful that even an elite-level Scyther would need to use its full power to block it.

Then came Little Diamond and Hot Cat.

After two weeks of training, Litten finally evolved yesterday under the pressure of battling Scyther, evolving from Litten into Litten.

Pokémon in this world don't necessarily evolve at a fixed level; they might evolve earlier or later.

The Fiery Cat only evolved at level 20, a full three levels late.

The Hot Cat and the Flame Cat are very similar, with basically the same color scheme. The Hot Cat is larger than the Flame Cat, has a more determined look, and sharper claws.

The pattern on its head occupies more space than that of the Litsea cat and extends from its forehead. The color of the feathers in the middle of its head matches the color of the pattern on its forehead.

The bell-like thing on its neck is the "flame pouch," an organ that can produce flames. The temperature of the flame pouch rises with the cat's mood and it spews out flames, making a loud, bell-like sound.

Su Hao received the custom-made comforting bell the day after he left the Flowing Water Dojo.

When making the request, Su Hao asked that the collar for securing the bell be made of materials that could withstand Pokémon moves.

The sales assistant recommended this blue silk scarf to him, saying that it could withstand Pokémon's type moves without being damaged.

Of course, it only provides protection; the scarf itself does not have any defensive properties.

However, the performance of the scarf perfectly matched Su Hao's expectations. After receiving the comforting bell from Qianda Mall, Su Hao immediately handed it over to Firefly.

Firefly really likes this scarf with the soothing bell hanging on it.

I absolutely refuse to take it off except when showering.

When Litten evolves while wearing the Soothing Bell, Litten's evolutionary light suddenly merges with the Soothing Bell and the scarf.

After evolving, the soothing bell around Litten's neck did not disappear, but transformed into its "flame pouch," while the scarf remained around Litten's neck.

Strangely, the scarf that accompanied the evolution of the Fiery Cat seems to have become a part of the Fiery Cat itself and cannot be removed.

While the agility of the Felyne doesn't increase after evolution, its strength and stamina both increase significantly.

With the addition of several moves that Su Hao taught Limecat using system currency, Limecat's strength is now comparable to that of an elite-level Scyther.

Pokémon: [Limithril (wearing a blue scarf)]

Attribute: [Fire]

Gender: [♂]

Characteristic: [Intimidate]

Props: [Charcoal]

Level: [20]

Moves: [Scratch, Spark, Cry, High Five, Heat Wave, Nasty Plot, Revenge, Lick, Roar, Wild Scratches, Fire Fang, Flamethrower, Bulk Up, Protect, U-turn, Shadow Claw, Throw a Taunt]

Perhaps because the Soothing Bell and Scarf fused with Litten during its evolution, Litten's inventory was now empty again. Su Hao had no choice but to use the system...

I exchanged for a piece of charcoal with a 20% fire-type power boost for Hot Cat to carry.

Su Hao also specially customized a move for the Flame Cat that is suitable for it now and for its future evolution into Incineroar.

Under Su Hao's training, Hot Cat has mastered the technique of combining a high-five surprise attack with intimidation.
