Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

A pop-up window appeared, listing various topics, and surprisingly, the search engine actually provided results.

[Padia Unsolved Files NO.07 The Ancient Dreamweaver Awakens?! Mysterious Creature—Winged Wing. An unobserved creature, with few sightings, an unknown Pokémon shrouded in mystery. We only know that its name comes from a well-known mysterious book, the Book of Crimson, which records the mysterious creature there.]

The page is from a magazine from the Padiya region.

Scrolling down further, numerous comments from netizens came into view, and without exception, they were all filled with skepticism.

After all, there are no eyewitness accounts, so who can be sure that such Pokémon exist? Even Zhu Zhishu is just a record written by an explorer 200 years ago after exploring the famous dangerous area of ​​Sector Zero, and no one has verified its authenticity.

After filtering through all available information, Nan Yin still couldn't come to a conclusion. Even the people of Padia themselves doubted its authenticity, let alone Carlos himself, who was far away.

The only certainty is that Zone Zero is probably not a dangerous place that can be entered easily.

She interrupted her thoughts and focused her energy back on the soil beneath her feet. Before she could even leave the cave, she caught a glimpse of a short figure out of the corner of her eye.

The overall shape is conical, with a crystal embedded at the bottom, and a diamond-shaped pointed ear above the white velvet circle.

Small diamonds?

Before the senses could even register the other person's panicked expression, the waveguide had already detected it in Nan Yin's mind.

(Princess, quickly get out of here! There are humans ahead.)

P.S.: Please give me some free tickets and encouragement. Sending love!

Chapter 46 Diancie and Her Friends

Princess, a special title.

If the speaker is merely a small diamond, then the target of the criticism is quite clear, with only one possibility.

Diancie, the Mythical Pokémon and Queen of the Mineral Kingdom.

Unlike the legendary spirits who possess both status and imposing presence, most of the mythical beasts are small, innocent children.

They possess, to varying degrees, special abilities bestowed upon them by nature, yet due to their environment and individual condition, they linger in the initial, tender stages of life.

If we were to rank this group, Nan Yin's favorite Pokémon would undoubtedly be Jirachi and Diancie.

She was overjoyed. With the delightful surprise of seeing the mythical beast she loved today, it was undoubtedly the best gift after a night of running around.

Nanyin paused, glancing sideways at the forked road, the source of her inner voice.

"Click!"

However, even without showing any hostility, the moment the girl turned around, several small diamonds were already lined up in front of her, fiercely protecting the figure behind her adorned with pink diamonds.

(Your Highness, hurry, let's go! We'll cover their retreat!)

(But......)

Their speech was halting and they seemed ready to die. However, just as they straightened their chests, closed their eyes, and swore an oath, preparing to offer their necks for slaughter, the girl took the opportunity to walk close to the smaller ones.

She bent down and listened to the feedback from the waveguide. When she realized that the little guy in front of her was clearly terrified, but still pretended to be righteous, she couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Without making any other move, Nan Yin simply bent over and waited quietly until the little diamonds, hearing that there had been no movement for a long time, cautiously opened their eyes, feeling safe enough to do so.

(Wow! She, she, she hasn't left yet! Me, us!)

Upon realizing that the enemy had gotten so close, the little ones were immediately terrified and lost their composure.

However, even under these circumstances, they still did not have a strong desire to attack Nanyin.

Every time the girl took a step closer, the tiny diamonds would automatically step back.

then--

"puff."

This time, the chuckle didn't just come from Nan Yin's lips; the little beast hiding behind her also covered its mouth to muffle the sound, lest its subjects hear it.

Seeing this, the children relaxed a little, even though they remained wary.

"Hello."

With a broad and open mind, Nan Yin gave a general explanation, and with words and a waveguide, she made an introduction.

"Nanyin, that's my name."

After speaking, he spread out his five fingers and offered them to the little animals.

(Her, her, her?)

Looking around, they were also flustered and at a loss. Just in this predicament, a clear and gentle voice came through the rock wall, bringing a warm and refreshing sound.

"Everyone, step back and let me do it."

With a light and graceful movement, a crown atop its head, the elegant pink and gray beast passed through the smaller creatures and appeared before the girl.

(Your Highness, no, this cannot be! Humans are strong, they are bandits! They will steal our mines and capture our companions!)

"The Minister of Diamond said the same thing, but I think we shouldn't label someone as a bad guy just by meeting them."

She shook her head firmly, raised her hands to protect the small diamonds behind her, and met Nan Yin's gaze directly without flinching.

Without avoiding the question, Nan Yin simply lowered her gaze and carefully admired the other person's appearance.

A white-trimmed skirt, gleaming gold rings, and tiny ears hidden beneath the crown.

These features are more than enough to be considered cute, and those sparkling eyes add an extra touch of liveliness.

Perhaps the girl's admiration was too direct, for Diancie became somewhat embarrassed and twisted her skirt to hide the blush on her face.

Thank you for your compliment.

Having said all she needed to say, and realizing she hadn't introduced herself yet, Princess Pink Diamond quickly bowed and apologized.

"Sorry, I forgot to respond to the introduction I just gave. I am Diancie from the Mining Kingdom."

"May I call you Nanyin?"

With a hint of anticipation, Diancie asked softly.

After all, this was the first time she had left the mine and seen real humans.

In the past, the Minister of Diamond would only warn her that humans were all bad, but before seeing it with her own eyes, Diancie still held onto her own thoughts and opinions.

Looking up, both the Eevee perched on the girl's shoulder and the Scorpion behind her exuded an aura of happiness and contentment.

With such an atmosphere, they must all be willing to stay by each other's side.

“Of course, Diancie.”

Not surprised by the words that struck straight to the heart, these little monsters are born with the ability to communicate with humans without any obstacles.

Following the progression of her thoughts, Nan Yin nodded in agreement to the preface.

Sure enough, those corrupt officials only know how to exaggerate and spread alarmist rumors.

Remembering the old man's solemn words, Princess Pink Diamond stuck out her tongue slightly, feeling resentful.

It was a slight dissatisfaction.

Although the Holy Diamond is nearing its end, it still has more than a decade to go, so there's no need to worry too much about the effects it might cause. It's nothing like what the minister said about 'the entire country perishing because of it'.

Yes, on this trip, Diancie has a necessary mission: to find Xerneas, learn the fairy aura, reforge the holy diamond, and restore peace to the mining kingdom.

"Nanyin, Nanyin~"

Setting aside her thoughts, she murmured the name; the first human she encountered held profound significance for her.

"I'm here."

Regardless of whether she had misunderstood or not, Nan Yin simply bent her knees, trying her best to make her eyes level with the other person's.

It is basic respect.

"May I ask you, how do humans live?"

Driven by curiosity, the Pink Diamond Princess has a strong interest in the unknown and in things that have always been denied.

Regardless of what others said, she felt a comforting and gentle warmth from Nan Yin, a peace and ease she had never experienced when interacting with the little diamonds.

"Ordinary work, normal food, lodging and sleep, and social needs."

The girl wasn't sure if the answer she gave was accurate, but she preferred to give easily understandable words.

"Is the work similar to mining? Then what about the social aspects?"

Her small face tilted to the side revealed her clear, bright eyes. Naturally, Diancie was completely unaware of this affix that the Minister of Diamond had not mentioned.

"The encounter between people, the acquaintance between people, the care between relatives, the jokes between acquaintances, and the sharing between friends—this is the essence of social interaction."

"To make friends?"

Having grasped the key words, the Pink Diamond Princess spoke up again.

"Getting acquainted is the process of meeting strangers, and friends are the term used to refer to the former after getting to know them. Generally speaking, friends are people who can lend a helping hand in times of trouble, people who make you feel relaxed when you are together, and people you can entrust with your trust."

"So that's what 'friend' means... I've learned it."

She placed the small hand into Nan Yin's palm, narrowed her eyes, smiled, and tentatively asked a question.

"That Nan Yin, I suppose we've also met and become friends, right?"

"Although, this is just my personal opinion."

Chapter 47 Trainers and Joining the Team

Looking into the bright eyes of the Pink Diamond Princess and feeling the softness of her hand in his palm, Nan Yin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and speak in an incredibly gentle voice.

"I also think so."

Despite it being their first meeting and only a few casual words exchanged, Diancie already considered her a friend.

Mythical beasts are such innocent children; they rarely have complicated thoughts and easily trust people who treat them with kindness.

Perhaps that's why Nan Yin fell in love with these little creatures, whether it was the princess in front of her or ordinary Pokémon.

In stark contrast to the hardships of the past, there is no need to rush to meet deadlines or face the condemnation and pressure from superiors. Surrounded by these challenges, the only feeling is one of intoxicating happiness and comfort.

"Nanyin~Friends~"

With her beautiful eyelashes curled, Diancie conveyed the same sentiment to the remaining little beasts.

"This kid is Eevee, and that little guy is Gliscor."

"Eevee~ Gliscor~"

Each time the girl recited a sentence, the Pink Diamond Princess would repeat it in her melodious voice.

As the conversation subsided, even the naturally lively and restless Scorpio withdrew his gaze from his surroundings and settled down beside Diancie to listen quietly.

Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, focused his gaze on the opponent's magnificent figure.

As if preoccupied with something, or perhaps deep in thought, the little one didn't utter a single word, only nodding slightly in response.

After introducing their companions, which made the atmosphere even more harmonious, Tianxi opened her mouth slightly and asked a question with genuine curiosity.

"Nanyin, can you tell me about the environment you live in?"

She stopped referring to the girl as a human being, feeling that such a term was impolite.

"Of course, in my opinion, there are roughly two types: rural and urban. One is a place with little development, simple folk customs, and people who rely on local conditions to cultivate different crops. The other is a large cluster with high-rise buildings and a large population."

"Skyscrapers, large clusters..."

As she murmured these two words and compared them with the current situation in the mining country, Princess Pink Diamond felt an even greater sense of urgency.

"Then how do you manage so many people?"

"Relying on the capable to establish the system, and then the wise to establish the law, although I dare not say that the league system is absolutely correct, under the positive guidance of champions and kings and other leaders, our living conditions are indeed constantly improving."

"Yeah, I understand."

Listening attentively and nodding occasionally, Diancie secretly resolved to make improvements when recalling the chaotic state of the small diamonds and the many accidents that occurred while living deep in the mine.
