What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

"Lanna, what happened? If you can, could you tell me?"

Ash's concerned gaze lingered on Yennefer.

"Hmph... an interesting boy..."

Feeling Ash's care, Lena's cheeks flushed slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.

She took a deep breath, rested her head against Xiaozhi's chest, felt his heartbeat and breathing, and gradually relaxed.

It's obviously very wooden, but it's incredibly attractive.

It wasn't just gentleness, it was the lifelong competitive spirit that attracted Rakuna!

She likes this kind of boy for life!

"Ash...kiss."

After enjoying herself, Lena stared intently at Ash with her heterochromatic eyes, and couldn't help but grab Ash's clothes, her voice soft yet firm.

Lena tiptoed and gently approached Ash.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she slowly closed them, her soft red lips parting slightly to touch Xiaozhi's chin.

"Um?!"

Ash was stunned by the sudden kiss and didn't react.

As for why it's the chin... because Lena is 150cm tall!

"We didn't get to kiss, let's try again."

Then, Lena tiptoed again, gently pulled Ash down, and kissed him.

Losing the battle doesn't mean I won't confess my feelings!

At this moment, Ash finally understood what Lena was worried about.

that is...

Ta-da~~

At this moment, Aine walked out of the tent and stared blankly at the scene of Ash being suppressed by Yone.

"Um?!!!!"

Aine: What happened?! Where's my house?!

Lena licked her lips, savoring the taste of the kiss, and couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated.

Ash's scent is indeed quite unique, it gives me the courage to try.

Lena is no longer afraid of Yveltal, the mere god of death!

418 Become a friend of Diancie

In this chaotic situation, things quickly calmed down. The reason was simple: as a cat, Ryuna simply didn't inspire any interest in arguing with Aine. Ryuna was too capricious, so Aine could only rely on her cleverness to subtly maintain her distance.

If this were Su Shi or Li Xi, she would have already used close combat to fight the opponent in real life.

Perhaps Renai-chan became curious because she saw me secretly kissing Ash every night!

Thinking this, Aine used instant amnesia in her mind, forgetting the whole process!

Aiyin: I wasn't bullied, it's all fake!

By escaping reality to make himself seem a little more normal, he avoided being elbowed by Xiaozhi and questioned him.

Zhizhi, why didn't you dodge the kiss?!

Even if Xiaolena is 99% wrong, don't you have at least 1% wrong too?!

There's something ahead of you? Ash must have noticed it too.

Why didn't his expression change at all? He was clearly so terrifying.

Princess Diancie pouted, already vaguely sensing the presence of 'Yveltal'.

Pokémon with keen senses can detect the strength of the Pokémon in front of them.

Especially for someone like Diancie, she still remembers being captured by Team Flare shortly after she and a few followers from the Diamond Kingdom left.

During yesterday's Flame Team attack, Diancie did not find the Small Diamonds, which likely means they have been captured by Flame Team and taken to their base for experiments.

Human behavior is truly baffling.

There are gentle people like Ash and Aine, and there are also brutal people like Team Flare.

We're all human beings, so why do we fight each other?

From the diamond-mining country, Tianxi couldn't help but wonder about her trip.

In Winged City and Sala City, she witnessed the peaceful and happy lives of the residents and Pokémon.

However, she also noticed Team Flare's inappropriate behavior in some shady corners.

It can only be said that both sides were driven by self-interest. However, according to Ash, the leader of Team Flare seems to have led people to act in the wrong direction in order to allow them to live beautifully in a world without conflict and strife.

Diancie found this behavior utterly incomprehensible. Attacking people and Pokémon, capturing them, and then expecting people to live beautifully in a world without conflict or robbery—it was utterly ridiculous.

Compared to Team Flare, Diancie prefers spending time with Ash, whose attention is focused on people and Pokémon.

I simply wanted them to be happy; it was a very pure thought.

It is exceptionally dazzling, like a sacred diamond from a diamond-mining country!

"Ash, I can feel a powerful energy coming from ahead, an incredibly powerful one. Ash, aren't you scared?"

Diancie was puzzled and couldn't help but ask Ash.

They will soon arrive at Shixiang Town, and if things continue like this, they may encounter that powerful being.

But Ash's expression didn't change at all, which puzzled Diancie.

Huh? What am I, a complete newbie, afraid of?

Ash tilted his head in confusion at first, then stopped and turned around to face Diancie directly.

"Because I have you important friends by my side, you gave courage to me and Pikachu, so I have long since abandoned fear."

"Pika Pika Pika".

Ash's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sunny smile, while Pikachu beside him perked up its ears, giving Diancie a confident and energetic boost.

Diancie has so many questions about this world, so we need to teach her properly and help her understand it.

that is...

Aine, Karen: Is your friend from Konoha? What does "friend" mean? Girlfriend!

"Friends...what does that mean?"

Diancie had some doubts, so she couldn't help but express them.

As a princess, Diancie usually only has attendants, so she doesn't have the concept of friends yet.

"They're happy companions who play and chat together."

Hua Lian explained gently to Tianxi from the side.

Friends are different from followers in the past; they are equals, travel companions, and share joy.

In some ways, even lovers can hardly compare.

"Friends helping each other out and living together is an equal relationship."

Aine couldn't help but explain as well.

Everyone wanted to help this naive princess; they were all kind and gentle people.

"We're friends now, aren't we?"

"Pikachu~"

Ash crouched down, trying his best to make eye contact with the petite Princess Diancie.

Treat them as friends, not as followers.

“Friend~” Lena repeated.

Ash and his friends are definitely special!

At this moment, Diancie stared intently at Ash, a broad smile on her face.

"My friends are so happy, so I'll allow everyone to be my friends."

Diancie closed her little hands, releasing a dazzling pink light, and a palm-sized pink diamond fell from mid-air and landed in Ash's palm.

"This is..."

"diamond?"

"It's amazing, and it's especially beautiful."

"It's pink, I want to eat it."

"Pica~"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ash's palm, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"It should disappear soon."

Tianxi's face darkened, and she lowered her head.

She doesn't yet have the ability to create diamonds, and even if she did, they would quickly dissipate. Therefore, she feels sorry for not giving Ash and his friends real diamonds.

It wasn't because of any other emotion; I simply wanted to give my friend a thank-you gift.

"It won't disappear. I can feel that this diamond was made by Diancie with all her might for us. It won't disappear."

Ash knelt down, his long, slender fingers gently touching Diancie's head, his movements tender, as if he were caring for a newly blossoming flower.

[Ugh...Does this guy have higher emotional intelligence when it comes to Pokémon than people... Waaaaah, so annoying~~]

The emotional intelligence of these super newbies is skyrocketing!

It's a pity that this applies to Pokémon!

This sense of security... is hard for Diancie to describe.

This was the deepest care she had ever received in her life.

like...

"Yes, it won't disappear. I believe in Ash! And everyone else too."

The disappointment on Tianxi's face disappeared, and she raised her head, looking at everyone with a smile again.

Ash, Pikachu, Hua Lian, Lena, and that other person—they're all Diancie's friends!

Originally, Diancie wanted to gain the power to create 'Holy Diamonds' from this journey, and also to rescue the Little Diamonds. Now she has another idea: to learn more about this world and Ash.

"Let's work even harder from now on, little Diancie."

Aiyin gently took Diancie's small hand, her gaze burning like fire, as if she could completely melt Diancie's body.

Her gaze made Diancie feel somewhat uncomfortable.

However, Diancie was also well aware that the emotions behind that look were genuine and profound.

"Um, that... Aine, nice to meet you from now on!"

Diancie: It's the feeling of friendship!

that is...

Wow... I can hold my wedding with Ash in a room full of diamonds!

That's great! That's so true to me!

Miss Aine, who is vain and has terrible taste, only then realized just how important Diancie really was!

Zhi Ai ~LOVE?~~

419 Pachira and Esprit broke out in a cold sweat.
