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

After preparing all the ingredients, Su Hao faced another challenge while standing in front of the oven.

Should we use staggered flames or blue flames to ignite the charcoal?

After hesitating for a while, Su Hao decided to keep a low profile and had the Blazing Roaring Tiger use its Spark Technique, which it hadn't used in hundreds of years, to ignite the charcoal and start grilling.

Strictly speaking, the process of grilling is not complicated. Anyone with basic cooking knowledge and the ability to control the heat can grill.

In addition, Su Hao's waveguide power allows him to control the rotation speed even when making energy cubes, so there is no need to worry about the barbecue burning. Every skewer of meat and vegetables is completed at the optimal time.

Finally, sprinkle on some flavorful spices, and the fragrant barbecue is ready.

The pork belly, with its perfect balance of lean and fat, almost entirely rendered out of fat, is sprinkled with a special barbecue seasoning and has an irresistible aroma.

The saury, pierced through the entire fish with a wooden stick, had its inner walls coated with a special sauce. Grilled until golden brown on both sides, it was crispy to the bite while still retaining a slightly sweet juice. Sprinkled with a little chili powder, even Incineroar and Zeraora's eyes lit up.

Ye Yibu, who prefers vegetarian food, was naturally not left out either, and various items that Su Hao had stored using the system's space-time stasis effect were also included.

Fresh mushrooms have a unique flavor after being grilled, and Ye Yibu especially likes the shiitake mushrooms that emit a rich aroma after grilling.

After the barbecue, Su Hao made a special all-meat sandwich for the Motolizard that it had been longing for, a whole roasted chicken that the Emerald Warrior Eagle loved, a delicious fish soup that Milotic liked, and a whole roasted lamb that Lucario was interested in.

As for Metagross, Su Hao casually stir-fried its metal apple in a wok with some engine oil and sprinkled it with seasonings that Metagross probably couldn't tell the difference from.

Anyway, it ate with great relish.

Su Hao was considering having Metagross continue its gene-destroying training after it had eaten and drunk its fill.

A-Yi and Xiao-Qi also received some of the stir-fried ore that Su Hao had made with small pieces of high-quality ore. They were very excited because it was their first time eating such food.

The night passed in such an ordinary way.

As Su Hao cleaned up the mess, he looked up at the sky and gazed at the sacred diamond that hung in the sky along with the bright moon. He felt a pang of longing for Tianxi.

This is the first time we've been apart for so long since we met, and it's really... a bit hard to get used to.

................................

On the eighth day, Diancie entered the Sacred Diamond to receive the inheritance.

Early in the morning, Su Hao called on Blazing Roar Tiger and Zeraora to continue training, planning to ask them for help after A-Ya got off work.

I didn't expect to run into Ah Yi as soon as I stepped out.

"Her Majesty the Queen instructed me to take good care of you during this time, so I'm taking a temporary leave. Didn't Su Hao need to see me yesterday?"

In response to Su Hao's question, A-Yi explained.

Su Hao didn't stand on ceremony and nodded slightly, saying, "That's right, I do have something to ask you."

A-Yi's level is at the mid-stage of the Heavenly King level, making him undoubtedly one of the top combat forces in this mineral kingdom.

The Little Diamond race is inherently very good at defense, and with Diancie absent, it is a better match than Milotic for Zeraora and Incineroar as a sparring partner.

"Then I'll trouble you to use defensive moves to withstand the attacks from Blazing Roar Tiger and Zeraora."

"no problem!"

.......

Arriving at an open area, not far from the forest where the trees had been felled the day before, Su Hao deliberately moved to a slightly different spot to prevent the Blazing Roaring Tiger and Zeraora from starting a forest fire.

Although the concept of setting fire to a mountain doesn't exist in the Mineral Kingdom, Su Hao, as the holder of the Power of Everlasting Rock and having received the blessings of the forest, still wanted to try his best to avoid causing widespread damage to the forest.

Looking at the Blazing Roar Tiger and Zeraora, who were full of energy after a night's rest, Su Hao asked with a smile, "Have you ever heard of 'Left Zero, Right Fire, Thunder God's Assistance'?"

Chapter 726 Training!

Thunder God?

What Thunder God?

Is it that Thunder God?

The image of Shen Lingyun's electric monster flashed through the Blazing Roaring Tiger's mind. It was said that the monster had received the blessing of the Thunder God and obtained a small part of the Thunder God's lightning essence, enabling it to unleash the Thunder God's thunder.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger sensed that the intensity and power of the lightning were average, but its quality was excellent; it was probably the Electric Beast that had dragged it down.

In its memory, besides the old dragon's lightning imbued with extreme cold that could crush its opponent, there was also the special plasma lightning of Zeraora beside it, which had a promising future.

With Zeraora, the Thunder Beast, around, its training, while not reaching a thousand miles a day, is undeniably twice as efficient.

This greatly reduced the Fire Roar Tiger's resistance to Zeraora, the new cat.

Zeraora was unfamiliar with Raikou and most other Pokémon, after all, it was only two months old and looked completely bewildered.

Su Hao didn't expect a muscle-brained child to understand any scientific principles. He simply pointed out, "Thunder and fire are not absolutely repulsive. The high temperature of thunder can ignite trees, and the high temperature brought by fire can also form thunder through a series of complex reactions."

"After Reshiram's instruction, you should now have a concrete understanding of the power of intersecting forces. Now, I'm giving you an assignment—just once, break through A-1's defense."

Su Hao's words immediately stirred up ripples on the calm "lake". Incineroar and Zeraora were filled with disbelief. No matter how competitive they were, they knew how terrifying the defensive ability of Diamond Smash, a mid-level Elite Four Pokémon with a talent point in defense, was.

With their combined strength—one being a professional-level early-stage player and the other a dojo-level early-stage player—isn't it a bit absurd to think they could break through the defense of a mid-stage Elite Four member?

A-Yi was also very puzzled, as it was fully aware of its own defensive capabilities.

After benefiting from the energy tide caused by Her Majesty's Mega Evolution, even a late-stage Elite Four Pokémon can rely on its defensive capabilities to fight for a long time.

Just as A-Yi was about to raise the question of whether the task was somewhat unreasonable, Su Hao added, "It's not about breaking through A-Yi's all-out defense, but about shattering the reflective barrier that it releases and continuously supplies energy to."

Breaking through A-yi's defense and breaking through A-yi's all-out defense are two different things.

A-Yi's all-out defense involves using moves like Iron Wall to boost defense or special defense, followed by Light Screen and Reflect, and Protect at a mid-Elite Four level, creating a turtle-shell defense.

Even the most powerful late-game Elite Four Pokémon, known for their offensive prowess, cannot guarantee they can break through A-One's defense, which is focused solely on offense. Incineroar and similar Pokémon are even less likely to succeed.

However, the reflective barrier that can materialize based on energy intensity is different. Breaking through just one reflective barrier, based on the power of the intertwined forces that Reshiram described to him, Su Hao felt that it was not impossible to achieve with the combined efforts of the two Pokémon.

This was Su Hao's idea.

However, the Blazing Roaring Tiger's little brain started working as soon as it heard about the Reflection Barrier.

Reflect is a Psychic-type move, composed of psychic energy and physical energy, and its malevolent aura is the natural enemy of psychic energy!

In other words, there's no need to painstakingly break through the reflective barrier; simply use an evil aura to dissolve the mental energy, and the reflective barrier will naturally crumble!

Incineroar was momentarily frightened by its own intelligence. It was already strong, and now it was so smart, what about the other Pokémon?

Could it really be...?

Before the Blazing Roaring Tiger could even react, Su Hao calmly fixed the bug: "The Blazing Roaring Tiger's evil aura is disabled. You'll have to break through the reflect barrier with the power of your moves."

"That's the task. I'll trouble you to train with them, Ah Yi."

Ah Yi nodded blankly, "Ah... okay!"

Having received a response from A-Yi, Su Hao didn't linger and immediately headed to the next location, as he still had several events to attend.

All that remained was the Blazing Roaring Tiger, filled with grief and indignation at being manipulated by Su Hao, and the Zeraora, full of fighting spirit and disregarding everything else, facing A-I's terrifying tortoise shell.

Not long after leaving the open space, a dull rumble sounded.

Su Hao paused, looking at the towering flames and lightning behind him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It seems they've already started practicing.

In his mind, Reshiram said calmly, "The theory has been given to them by me and Kyurem. Whether they can apply it in practice is up to them. They can only gradually understand it through practical application."

"From now on, it all depends on Zeraora and Incineroar."

Su Hao nodded in agreement. No matter how strong the theory is, you can only gain experience through actual combat.

The important thing is to take that first step and then integrate all the knowledge and experience accumulated so far.

......................................

At night, when Su Hao returned to the cabin after working non-stop at the Pokémon training ground, he saw Incineroar and Zeraora walking with limp arms and legs, supporting each other.

And there's Ah Yi, looking completely embarrassed.

Upon seeing Su Hao return, Blazing Roar Tiger began to complain with a wronged expression that A-Yi's Reflect Barrier was harder than a tortoise shell, and that kicking it almost broke its leg. Zeraora fared even worse, with several of its claws broken.

Su Hao fell silent. He had expected that by the end of the day, even if they didn't achieve any results, they would at least be able to familiarize themselves with their powers. He didn't expect that Little Diamond was fine, but the two attacking Pokémon were injured.

Reshiram in her mind also silently covered her face, finally understanding how Kyurem and Galarian Moltres had felt.

With a helpless sigh, Su Hao gestured for the two Pokémon to sit down.

Under A-Yi's shocked gaze, Su Hao placed one hand on the Blazing Roaring Tiger's leg and the other hand on Zeraora's paw. Green light spots began to appear, and in a short while, the Blazing Roaring Tiger's limping legs returned to normal.

And miraculously, new claws began to grow from Zeraora's claws, which had previously had their blood congealed, under the healing power of the Eternal.

"Okay, that's all right now."

Before getting up, Su Hao, who was already used to being a stay-at-home dad, squeezed Zeraora's paw pads a few more times. The soft and fluffy feel was wonderful. He felt like he could squeeze them for a year. They were simply a stress reliever.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger, used to this, already knew that playing the victim would get it healed by Su Hao. On the contrary, Zeraora looked at its claws with curiosity. Although there was still a subtle itch on them, new claws had already grown.

This is amazing!
