Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

But before that, she needs to acquire knowledge and improve herself, just as the former said, to first become a true capable person and a sage recognized by others.

Because of her individuality, the little diamonds spontaneously supported her as a princess, but that was not a true recognition. Even though the Diamond Minister was experienced and knowledgeable, he was ultimately limited by his narrow perspective.

If there is someone who can guide me in this field, distinguish right from wrong, and affirm my growth, then it can only be—

Looking at Zhang Chi's eyes and the girl who was still explaining in detail, the answer was already clear in the Pink Diamond Princess's mind.

Nan Yin, the first human she met, is now her friend.

Regardless of the difference in status or the prejudice of the little diamonds against humans, Diancie remains steadfast in her beliefs, despite being taught by ministers since childhood.

Discuss the matter at hand and the person objectively.

"Nanyin, what exactly is the alliance like? Also, is the meaning of 'champion' similar to 'king'?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Nan Yin smiled and denied it.

She then remembered that Diancie was indeed special compared to other mythical beasts; she ruled over an underground mineral kingdom and had her own subjects.

It is probably for this reason that the princess frequently consulted him on management matters.

"The league is a broad category, which is managed by capable people who manage the economy, laws, infrastructure... The champions are not the rulers, but the benchmarks, the role models for trainers, the brave ones who stand up in times of crisis, and also ordinary people."

She shared all her inner thoughts, and since Tianxi was willing and her friend was willing, Nanyin would naturally share everything she knew.

If it were just an ordinary trainer, it might be difficult to give a detailed explanation in the face of Princess Pink Diamond's question. However, for Nan Yin, who has two lifetimes of experience and has undergone compulsory education, she can indeed say a few words in detail.

Perhaps, aside from luck, this is the reason why I was able to meet Diancie.

—She had a need, and Nanyin music was just enough to meet it.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Nan Yin."

Upon hearing the former's description of the champion, a faint longing seemed to appear in Tianxi's eyes.

"I'm sorry to have asked so many questions, but Nan Yin, could you tell me more..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Nan Yin touched the princess's small hand and asked in a slightly reproachful tone.

"Don't feel troubled. I quite enjoy the atmosphere of talking with you, Diancie. Besides, aren't we already friends who can confide in each other?"

"Well."

She whimpered softly, and as the blunt words reached her ears, a slight blush spread across the little one's cheeks.

"Then, then, then may I ask, what does 'trainer' mean? Is the champion also a trainer? The Minister of Diamond said that trainers are monster messengers, villains who enslave everyone, but Eevee and Gliscor don't seem to be like that."

The intimate interactions and unspoken understanding between the chestnut-haired beast and the girl were something Diancie had witnessed and deeply felt.

She was unwilling to believe the minister's generalizations and also held expectations for their current relationship.

Just a little bit.

"How could it be enslavement? In my opinion, the relationship between trainers and Pokémon is equal. Eevee and Gliscor are both my companions."

Having refuted the most absurd claim, Nan Yin could roughly guess why the Minister of Drill had instructed Tianxi in this way.

Not everyone is kind-hearted. Among hundreds of millions of people, there will always be examples like the Elf Hunter who are only interested in profit and disregard life. The former probably just wanted to make the Pink Diamond Princess have the most basic vigilance towards others.

"If I really have to explain what a trainer is, I would prefer to think of it as forming a friendship with a Pokémon, growing and progressing together on a journey, and expressing each other's feelings through battles or other means."

"If that's the case, then—"

"I also want to progress and grow together with Nanyin."

With her clear, bright eyes wide open, and repeating her wish in her heart, Diancie clenched her small hands and spoke with unwavering determination.

P.S.: Requesting free votes and comments. Thank you everyone for reading this far and for your continued support. Love you all!

Also, the true heroine joins the team (lol)

Chapter Forty-Eight: Sincerity and Touching

"To impart correct knowledge to students, to educate them to grow into adults with good character, this is the meaning of a teacher."

"So now, I'm considered a student of Nanyin, right?"

With her pretty eyebrows raised and her face slightly tilted, and her crystal-clear ponytail drooping, Tianxi simply looked at Nanyin quietly.

Little did they know the devastating impact of this action.

Just like the Q&A session, when they were traveling together, they spoke freely about various topics and expressed their opinions. The one just mentioned was about the teacher and student relationship.

"I can't call myself a teacher yet, but I can still be honest and open with my friends."

"I've learned the phrase 'to be frank and open'."

Upon hearing each other's responses, both the Pink Diamond Princess and the young girl exchanged knowing glances and smiled at each other.

Such tacit understanding has been repeatedly demonstrated in their joint efforts.

There were no communication barriers, just simple questions and answers, or careful listening and subsequent reflection. Although she didn't know what the other person was thinking, Nan Yin felt comfortable in the process and was able to relieve the loneliness that had been building up for so long.

She carefully fastened a large hat to Tianxi, concealing the dazzling diamonds as much as possible. Since she had impulsively agreed to the promise of her colleague, she should fulfill her responsibility, eliminate potential risks, protect the other party, and protect herself as well.

After all, Princess Diamond is a Mythical Pokémon, and its abilities tend to be more focused on physical creations.

Diamonds and agates—these luxuries are enough to tempt anyone's greed just by their names. I still remember the scene in the show: if it weren't for the Team Rocket trio's 'trouble,' Diancie would have almost been captured and imprisoned by those two thieves.

"Dianci."

"Ah."

Simply by calling out her name, Princess Pink Diamond understood what Nan Yin meant.

Slowing down and controlling her pace with the girl beside her, Diancie intentionally waited for the little diamonds following behind to catch up, without letting them notice anything amiss.

Sometimes, silent kindness is also a form of invisible charity; it can protect others' dignity and quietly convey goodwill.

However, even with the promise of both of them, these little guys from the mining country were still worried about letting a mere human take their princess away.

Thus, after walking for nearly ten miles, the little diamonds continued to hop and leap forward relentlessly.

Unable to ignore these gazes and with them following, Nan Yin also clearly recognized a fact.

Even though she had countless fantasies in her heart and longed for the time they had spent together, as the princess of the mining country, Diancie could not stay with her forever.

For the foreseeable future, she must keep this fundamental premise in mind to avoid overreacting and letting the other party become aware of it further.

Knowing that Tianxi is sensitive, if her reluctance is detected, the child is destined to be deeply troubled, and the choice between relatives and friends will undoubtedly be painful.

Rather than letting the other person get hurt, Nan Yin prefers to maintain a clear self-awareness, uphold proper boundaries, and keep the relationship at the level of normal friendship.

Perhaps because the girl was lost in thought for a little too long, Diancie stretched out her small hand and waved it in front of the girl's eyes.

"Nanyin, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what else we could talk about next. After all, you asked so many questions, I'm almost out of ideas."

Using a light laugh to mask her inner disappointment, Nan Yin chuckled softly, pretending nothing was wrong.

But this seemed rather strange to the Pink Diamond Princess.

But then I thought, anyone would feel tired and bored if they were questioned for hours on end.

"Thank you for your hard work, Nanyin."

Floating into the air, she gently rubbed her palm against the girl's eyes, whispering apologetically in her ear.

Perhaps it was by chance, or perhaps she had some prior knowledge, but when this feeling of concern was revealed, Nan Yin realized that her disappointment was unnecessary.

Since we already have this kind of atmosphere, why bother with a formal title?

She only needs to remember every moment of the present and look forward to countless similar moments in the future.

"Would you like to rest for a while?"

"it is good."

They found a shady spot, laid out a carpet, pitched the tent, and prepared to rest for a while before setting off again.

"To prevent the tent from being blown over by strong winds, we need to hammer nails into the four corners..."

Nan Yin patiently guided the other person through the detailed movements, occasionally letting go to allow them to practice themselves. Perhaps this knowledge was unrelated to the management of the kingdom, but Tianxi was equally enthusiastic and did not find it boring.

"This is called laying a good foundation, I'll remember that."

The Pink Diamond Princess felt a great sense of accomplishment from being able to use the affixes mentioned earlier during the conversation, and realized the significance of learning.

She took the hammer and brought it down with force. The roles of girl and princess were briefly reversed. Only then was Nan Yin willing to take a break and let her thoughts roam freely using the scanning function of the encyclopedia.

[Individual: Diancie, Gender: None]

[Type: Rock, Fairy; Category: Ruby/Mythical Pokémon]

[Ability: Cleanse of the Body - Abilities cannot be reduced by moves or abilities of opponents or allies]

[Possesses the following attributes: Legend, Resilient Body, Ironclad Strategist]

[Legendary: Global Attack +20%, Global Defense +20%, Global Speed ​​+15%]

Resilient Physique: Global Defense +20%

Ironclad Strategist: Trainer's global defense +20%

Ignoring all other familiar information, she focused solely on the word "legend."

The new entry represents a near-comprehensive upgrade across all six dimensions. Diancie's possession of this item signifies that Mythical Pokémon are now included within the Legendary Pokémon category.

Her mind was about to move forward, but the slight weight spreading across her chest brought Nan Yin back to her senses.

Looking down, the chestnut-furred ball was indeed Eevee.

Without making a sound or any movement, the little guy simply pricked up his ears and stared quietly at the girl's eyes and brows.

Is it angry with me? Well, that makes sense, since I spend the most time with it and the atmosphere is the most harmonious.

But now, she has been diverted a lot of attention to the child by the sudden appearance of Diancie, and in the course of the Q&A session, she hasn't even had time to take care of the child's feelings.

Feeling guilty and prepared to be used as a punching bag, Nan Yin closed her eyes and accepted it willingly.

The small chestnut-furred animal actually took the initiative to grab her sleeve and drag its palm, trying to make it rest on her forehead for a natural stroking.

"Bu Yi..."

Upon closer inspection, faint red marks appeared at the corners of Ibrahimovic's eyes, and glistening tears seemed about to spill out.

It is often said that sincerity is the sharpest weapon.

Chapter Forty-Nine: Diancie Stone

"Nanyin, what made you decide to travel?"

It is the whisper of the Pink Diamond Princess.

On a sunny afternoon, even in the sparse woods, the gentle warmth still seeps through the branches, bringing them a touch of languor.

"Set a goal so that you don't get lost and idle. For me, it's probably about seeking an adventurous atmosphere and doing more preparations for the Miare Conference."

"The Miare Conference?"

"A grand event where trainers and their partners participate together, where they can showcase their bonds and the fruits of their journey through battles."

Holding Eevee close and hearing the occasional questions from beside her, Nan Yin reaffirmed her direction.

"Battle, bond, achievement, what great words."

Having fully grasped the meaning behind the words, Tianxi's longing grew even stronger.

"Then, as Nan Yin's companion, can I also participate in the Miare Tournament?"

"Of course, but if you want to participate in battles, it is necessary to train your body and hone your skills in your daily life."

"Movement?"

Pointing to a scorpion nearby who was devouring tree fruits, the girl praised it against her conscience.

"Using the limbs or energy to release it in a fixed form is a technique, like the Flame Fang that Scorpion is practicing."

"I see, but I don't think I can do Nanyin with such precision."
