Chương 121: They're already in the pot, how could they possibly escape?

"The problem isn't particularly big."

Caldelia, who had been silently standing aside, carefully scanning the pink diamond with her superpowers, spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Click! (The young lady has a solution?)" Lu Sha's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved closer.

Tianxi is already interested; all that's left is to take action.

"have."

Gadriya nodded slightly.

"Tianci's rock-type energy is actually very abundant, even excessive. But as she said, she is extremely lacking in another type of energy, causing her body to fall into a stagnant, defective state."

"The pink crystal that encased her is actually a natural and highly efficient converter. It instinctively tries to draw that scarce energy from the surrounding environment and then give it back to Diancie."

"But because the world's energy is almost depleted, the crystal can't draw it in and instead becomes a cage that traps her."

"Click! (So, to sum it up, as long as we inject enough fairy-type energy into this crystal, we can accelerate its growth? Is that what you mean?)" Lu Sha grasped the key point.

"That's right."

Cattleya nodded gently.

"We don't even need the fairy-type energy you mentioned. As long as the quality and quantity of the energy are high enough to forcefully drive the converter, we can break this vicious cycle."

"Click! (That makes things easier!)" Lu Sha slapped his thigh, looking at the young lady as if she were a super power bank with unlimited power.

He doesn't have any fairy energy in the short term, but he does have a large energy source—he has the young lady!

Um... I don't quite understand what you guys are saying...

Compared to the seamless communication between the human and the shark, the simple-minded Diancie couldn't keep up with their train of thought at all and could only weakly make a sound to make her presence known.

"Click! (It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just know that you're about to be free!)" Lu Sha chuckled and tapped the pink crystal twice more with her paw: "Click! (Seriously, do you want to come out and see the world with us, and maybe save your kind while you're at it?)"

"want!"

This time, Diancie did not hesitate at all.

If given the chance to break free from the cocoon and transform into a butterfly, who would want to remain a static diamond for their entire life?

"Click! (Well then, young lady, the demolition work ahead will be a lot of work for you!)"

"What's so troublesome about this?"

Cattleya stepped forward unhurriedly.

She stretched out her slender, fair hand and gently placed it on the pink crystal.

next moment.

hum!!!

A king-level pure psychic power poured in, and the dull pink crystal instantly shone brightly.

With the continuous input of energy, the miniature diamond princess expands at a visible rate.

About twenty minutes later.

Tianxi has grown to over half a meter tall.

With a crisp "bang," fine cracks spread across the surface of the crystal, which instantly shattered into countless sparkling powders.

Amidst the swirling dust of light, Diancie floated gracefully in mid-air, surrounded by a soft pink aura, and quietly appeared before Lu Sha and Gadria.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and her chest rose and fell gently, as if she was still digesting the enormous energy that had just surged into her body.

Seeing this, Gadriya slowly withdrew her hand, which had been resting in mid-air: "The symbiotic crystal is broken. Without a source of replenishment, the fairy energy within her body will continue to deplete as it is consumed. We either need to find a new energy source to recharge, or we need to quickly master the essence of the rock and rely on absorbing external rock energy to maintain a stable state."

"Click! (What if we let her control the fairy-type origin?)" Lu Sha suggested.

The strength of mythical beasts at birth varies, unlike the stable legendary beast Regirock.

But the energy that Diancie is emitting is definitely at the level of a near-elite king.

Even someone with no experience can quickly reach 70% attribute control with the system's support.

"No! Without external fairy-type energy to replenish her energy, it will be gone once it's used up, and she won't be able to practice her moves repeatedly."

.

Cattleya shook her head, fundamentally denying Lu Sha's idea.

"Furthermore, comprehending the essence of an attribute's origin means developing a high affinity for that attribute, allowing one to mobilize free-floating attribute energy from the outside world on a large scale. However, there is currently no fairy energy in the outside world."

"Click! (Oh, I see... That's a bit tricky.)" Lu Sha scratched the shark's head, secretly marveling at its appearance.

Xerneas hasn't recovered yet, so trying to steal energy from the opponent is simply wishful thinking.

Even if Diancie had champion-level skills, she couldn't have done it.

Thanks!"

A clear, telepathic connection resounded.

Diancie opened her ruby-like eyes and timidly looked at the man and shark in front of her.

Compared to Lu Sha's nearly two-meter-tall, imposing physique, Tianxi was only up to his knees.

However, Diancie is indeed quite cute, with a pink and tender appearance.

"Click! (How are you feeling now?)" Lu Sha bent down and looked at the little guy at eye level.

He was in no hurry to subdue them.

Haste makes waste.

Pokémon aren't stupid; the more utilitarian the approach, the worse the results.

You can't just trick someone into catching a Pokémon.

Besides, Lu Sha really didn't intend to deceive Tianxi.

He was genuinely willing to build an ecological park for the little diamonds and to take Tianxi to find other little diamonds.

Once he emerges from underground, he will message Yan Kai and ask them to help him find the small diamond.

I feel great now... Thanks to you all, I was able to see this world with my own eyes.

Tianxi smiled innocently and reached out her slender, white-dress-like hand to gently stroke the small diamonds that had gathered around her.

With her birth, hundreds of tiny diamonds gathered around her as if on a pilgrimage.

"Click! (That's good. We'll rest here tonight, sorry to bother you. Tomorrow we'll set off to cross Tianguan Mountain.)" Lu Sha patted his thigh cheerfully, making no mention of taking her away.

"So what should we do? Follow you?"

Diancie tilted her head, her tone innocent.

But Lu Sha could immediately tell that there was a hint of confusion and reluctance in her tone.

That was just now, and now is now.

Since Diancie couldn't get out just now, her agreement was naturally decisive.

But now that they're out there, no matter how innocent Pokémon are, they're bound to have some other thoughts.

It won't affect Tianxi's commitment to keep her promise, but it's hard not to overthink it.

"Click! (You've just escaped your predicament, don't you want to spend more time with your people?)" Lu Sha took the opportunity to extend his thick shark claw and rub the pink diamond head of Tianxi.

It was hard and stiff, but it gave me a strange sense of satisfaction.

"Click! (If you want to keep it, we'll try to return any other scattered diamonds we find on our journey.)"

"?"

Diancie was stunned, her ruby-like eyes filled with emotion and conflict.

She had assumed that once she was out of trouble, she would have to fulfill her promise and follow the other party.

It wasn't that she thought it was bad, but rather that she felt it wasn't good to keep troubling Lu Sha.

Just as she was considering whether to lead the tribe independently, Lu Sha was unexpectedly so considerate. Not only was he willing to think of her, but he was also willing to continue helping her find small diamonds.

He's such a good person!

"Click! (Alright, no need to rush to give me an answer.)" Seeing Tianxi's conflicted little face, Lu Sha withdrew his hand at the right moment: "Click! (It's not too late to make a decision tomorrow morning. We've finally escaped this predicament, so let's have a good time with the little diamonds tonight.)" After saying that, he turned around, a confident smile playing on his face.

The Pokémon have all gone into his pot, how could he let her escape?

They're not like Cynthia, who's purely driven by emotion; they still need to use tactics like playing hard to get.

He was absolutely certain.

By tomorrow, this innocent little princess will surely be willing to go with them.
