Aspiring to become a Pokémon trainer

Raise your little hands and gather them in front of your chest. As your eyebrows furrow, several rocky peaks tear through the soil and rise from the ground.

Looking at the towering rock beside her, comparable to an ancient tree, Nan Yin wiped away non-existent sweat.

This isn't a matter of precision or lack thereof; it's clearly due to the extraordinary power that Diancie possesses, to the point that the surrounding environment spontaneously adapts to her thoughts and changes accordingly.

"It's okay, these things can't be rushed. As long as we are determined, we can gradually achieve precise control through long-term training."

"I will work hard, and I hope Teacher Nanyin will give me some serious encouragement."

Using the affixes she had learned, she opened her eyes wide and looked intently at the girl, her face filled with focus.

Her breath hitched, and she was even more shaken by the scene before her. Whether it was unintentional or not, Princess Pink Diamond used the words "teacher" and "encouragement" at the same time, which are slightly ambiguous when combined.

"The word 'teacher' is used in formal settings, and it carries a subtle connotation of encouragement. Please don't use it in the wrong context."

Admitting that she had indeed had a different idea just now, Nan Yin touched Tianxi's small hand and continued speaking with a light laugh.

"Of course, even if you didn't tell me, I would still share what I know with you. After all, we're friends now, aren't we?"

Just when everyone thought they could use this to get away with it, the Pink Diamond Princess unexpectedly stood still and firmly said no.

"Even between friends, there should be gratitude and mutual assistance. Nan Yin, you taught me that."

"Although it was only for a day or two, Nan Yin was the one teaching me during that time, and I couldn't help her at all."

"No, the tents we set up and the soup we made before were the result of our hard work together, weren't they?"

Without seeking material repayment, to be honest, the companionship in life and the freedom in spirit have already given Nan Yin immense satisfaction.

Spending her days and nights with Eevee and the others, leaning on each other in her dreams—this is the future she longs for.

"That's different. I added the wrong sauce and ruined everyone's dinner..."

"It's normal to make mistakes on your first attempt. The important thing is to have the courage to keep trying and making mistakes."

A single word awakened her from her reverie. Remembering the Eternal Diamond, which she had tried countless times to obtain without success, Diancie seemed to regain her courage.

The Minister of Diamonds once said that the minerals they produce are luxuries that humans crave. If they are real diamonds, could they be used as a way to repay a debt of gratitude?

As I thought this, a gentle glow shone from all directions, solidifying into a solid pink diamond.

She wants to try again.

Not only to resolve the kingdom's crisis, but also to express gratitude to the girl before him.

The transition from energy to physical form is by no means easy; even with divinely granted powers, creating something from nothing remains extremely difficult.

While observing Tianxi's movements, Nanyin also spread her mental power to examine the structural changes from the movement of molecules.

It doesn't arise out of thin air. As energy gathers, carbon dioxide in the air involuntarily gathers inward, forming the basic carbon element.

Then, a brief period of high temperature and pressure is applied, altering the internal structure, and it seems that a diamond in the conventional sense is about to be born.

Upon closer observation, Nan Yin noticed that the Pink Diamond Princess's brows were furrowed. Such exquisite control was still too difficult for her to maintain.

This seemed to be merely a physical completion; however, with the ripples of thought that arose, the diamond, which was just beginning to take shape, began to breathe.

Only through the feedback of the waveguide can Nanyin capture the fluctuations of this breath.

However, due to Diancie's limited abilities, she was unable to focus on two things at once. As soon as it was created, this diamond, which only had an external appearance, showed cracks and was close to being destroyed.

The ending should have been like this, but just as the Pink Diamond Princess was about to give up, a gentle spiritual force covered her and restored the structural imbalance.

"Nanyin?"

Looking at the girl in disbelief, Diancie received a faint smile.

She was unaware that the other person possessed superpowers, and could even help her with diamond shaping.

"Yeah, together."

Without saying a word, Nan Yin simply raised her eyebrows and encouraged him with her eyes.

After this brief exchange, they understood each other perfectly and divided the work: Nan Yin focused on the material aspects of the form, while Tian Xi devoted herself to shaping the spiritual aspects.

As if a pause had been struck, the widespread cracks stopped spreading and were reshaped and filled by subsequent energy.

Through mutual complementarity and support, the diamond gradually returned to a constant structure, and then began to shine with dazzling brilliance.

Successful.

Unable to shake off her surprise, Tianxi looked at Nanyin, who was panting heavily and looked unwell, and felt an even deeper sense of guilt.

How could she possibly thank them, especially since even this diamond was made with their help?

"......Thanks."

Placing the shimmering pink diamond into the girl's palm evoked feelings far more complex than mere gratitude; Diancie could find no words to describe her current emotions.

The former was filled with countless thoughts, and so was Nanyin music.

Before actually trying it, she never imagined that she could use her telekinesis to help Diancie and assist her in completing the creation of the Eternal Diamond ahead of schedule.

If so, will Xerneas and Yveltal clash again like in the movie?

Unable to find an answer immediately, the Tianxi Stone, hailed as the most beautiful gemstone in the world, symbolizing eternity and uniqueness, now lies between his five fingers.

[Item: Diancie Evolution Stone; Traits: Eternal, Unique]

[Description: When Diancie is in your party, you can use this item to Mega Evolve her.]

The words described it this way, and she also had a vague feeling that even without the Keystone bridging the gap, she could still achieve Mega Evolution with Diancie.

P.S.: Please give me some free votes and encouragement, thank you! ~~

Chapter Fifty An Unexpected Encounter

I paused, inhaling the fragrant scent of the grass around me. Having left the dense forest, everything before me seemed incredibly open and expansive.

He raised his hand to shield his eyes from the excessive sunlight, also to create a shady spot for the little beast in his arms.

With long, drawn-out breaths, they had approached a small town.

"Buy~"

Eevee stretched gently, letting the girl extend her fingertips and gently caress its back. It simply closed its eyes and wrapped its tail tightly around the girl's wrist.

It must reclaim the attention that has been taken away by others through its own efforts.

Without looking away, just watching the little guy's deliberate actions, Nan Yin felt her own energy waning.

It doesn't refer to physical exhaustion, but rather that she alone is destined not to be attentive to everyone. If more partners join the team in the future, favoritism will inevitably occur among these children.

I'm afraid that in the end, I'll only be able to choose a dozen or so elves at most.

I don't have any ambition to collect all the illustrations. Rather than caring about such vanity, I just want the music to live happily by my side.

"Nanyin, where are we going now?"

He skipped along with the girl, occasionally noticing the novel sights around him. Although he possessed superpowers and could levitate, Diancie preferred the feeling of being grounded and experiencing things firsthand.

Perhaps the creation of the Eternal Diamond allowed her to return directly to the Mineral Kingdom without having to travel to the Forest of Oruans to find Xernias, but that was done with Nan Yin's help; it would still be a pipe dream if she did it on her own.

The exquisite control of energy, the ability to simultaneously advance both the material and spiritual realms—this was the secret the other person had told me, and also the boundary I could never reach.

In order to hone her skills and learn new knowledge, she decided to stay by the girl's side.

The above is the result of rational thinking; however, the emotional aspect—

She also wanted to travel with Nan Yin for the rest of her life, to see the endless wonders of the world and feel the burning emotions that lingered in her heart.

Yes, ever since she received that eternal diamond, Tianxi felt that she had formed an unbreakable bond with Nanyin.

Whether it's sorrow or joy, you can tell at a glance.

"Baitan City, a quaint and ancient city."

Princess Pink Diamond's thoughts remained unknown, but Nan Yin felt that this trip was as refreshing as the fragrance of herbs.

Does "antique charm" refer to a classic and elegant style?

"correct."

White Sandalwood City, as its name suggests, is surrounded by many white sandalwood trees. As the location of Carlos's first gym, it perfectly embodies the spirit of this continent.

Elegant and graceful, relaxed and carefree, just like the romantic capital of Western Europe, France, in a past life.

Stepping across the khaki-colored striped tiles and past clusters of blooming pink roses, she landed on her toes at the poisonous rose fountain in the city center.

Looking around, apart from the retro buildings, all I could see were trainers with various starter Pokémon, and even some greenhorns battling in public.

After glancing at the scene, Nan Yin saw that it was a battle between a serpentine bear and a green caterpillar, and with a loss of interest, she turned her attention to the important matters that needed to be addressed.

After quickly replenishing their supplies and purchasing the raw materials needed for cultivation, the scene shifts to show them entering the interior of the Rising Sun Café.

That's right, the important thing is to taste the limited-edition desserts sold in White Sandalwood City.

Whether it was a long-held wish from a past life or simply a craving, after discovering that her constitution made it difficult to gain weight in this life, Nan Yin rarely restrained her cravings for snacks.

Sometimes, she would hesitate and struggle to decide which dessert to buy.

Scooping up a spoonful of shaved ice and stirring in half a ladle of cream, the girl couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as the rich flavor filled her mouth.

"So sweet."

"Is this called dessert? It tastes so good!"

Wiping away the crumbs from her lips and gently lifting her eyelashes, Tianxi was equally intoxicated by this taste she had never experienced before.

They cut the delivered cream puffs into five pieces, carefully dividing them one by one. As they chewed continuously, they waited until the warmth of the morning dissipated, and until the shop's staff filled the gaps.

"Mah~"

It was a soft, gentle hum.

Pushing a circular food cart, a short, pink and white figure tiptoed to deliver freshly baked cakes to the table.

"Thank you for your hard work, Alcremie."

Looking to the side, her lovely appearance came into view.

Its cake-like shape and cream-covered pointed top are features that make one's mouth water.

"!"

Seemingly sensing the ill intent in Nan Yin's eyes, Shuang Nai Xian cried out in alarm and hurriedly fled.

puff.

With a slight smile, Nan Yin leaned down, half-resting her elbows, and quietly watched the little ones eat, as the sun tilted and gradually set in the west.

Although she jokingly attributed her trip to desserts, she did have a clear objective in coming to Baitan City.

It's not about challenging the gym, but about going to battle the fortress.

Taking out the invitation letter given to him by Master Fu, the old man set himself a high starting point as a dojo master and a member of the Hall of Fame.

—Viscount.

It is not a formal title. As a special building in Carlos, the Battle Fortress has a similar function to the Battle Tower in Galer. It is divided into ranks through the region’s unique system of 'Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron', aiming to recruit talents, encourage confrontation, and promote the traditional battles that emphasize etiquette and are close to duels.

In Carlos, this castle is renowned far and wide. The lord, the Four Heavenly Kings, and even the champion at the top are all guests of honor. If the timing is right and the rank is commensurate, one can even launch a full-scale challenge against them.

Although Nan-in's status as a dojo master allows her to participate in the Luna Tournament without collecting eight badges, she still has certain expectations for herself.

—Reaching the level of his master, he was promoted to marquis.

For no other reason than to explore the unknown, try things that don't exist, and stay true to one's original aspirations—that is the very meaning of travel.

Moreover, as your rank increases, you can also learn commonly used moves such as Dragon Dance and Trick, and even extremely rare Keystones.

She took a sip of warm milk coffee, and only after the rich aroma filled her tongue did she open the map, select her location, and begin the pre-matching process.

Due to geographical limitations, participating in the promotion or challenge of the battle fortress requires advance planning of time, matching opponents within a predetermined scope, and confirming the rules and conditions to avoid being unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances.

The girl didn't have to wait long. Perhaps it was still afternoon and most people had some free time, but soon she was matched with an opponent.

A red and white striped baseball cap, a dark blue tacky jacket, and an electric mouse perched on his shoulder with its ears erect.

Markings under name —

Ash in Pallet Town.
