Chương 122: The outside world is too scary!

While Diancie was feeling a bit guilty and conflicted, she went to reconnect with the little diamonds.

Lu Sha and the young lady were able to calm down and enjoy this wonderful underground world.

Previously, in order to replenish Diancie's energy, the little diamonds had collected countless dazzling attribute gems from who-knows-where and adorned this underground land.

The stalactites growing intertwined refract the faint light of the accompanying pink diamonds, illuminating the entire underground cave as if it were daytime.

Lu Sha released the other three Pokémon, spread out a moisture-proof mat, and sat down with the young lady on the ground to quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery.

During this time, he did not speak to Diancie, but instead sent the Scizor and the others to share the abundant food with the Little Diamonds.

He didn't interfere in any way, but simply went with the flow, letting the scyther educate these long-time underground inhabitants about the outside world.

After all, the Scizor had followed Hunter A and had seen far more than these sheltered flowers.

It is the perfect tool to tell the story of the group's development.

The young lady seems wide awake tonight.

She nestled gently against Lu Sha's broad chest, her brilliant golden hair cascading down his body onto the sleeping mat like a waterfall.

She stood there quietly gazing up at the dome, watching the gems and stalactites that resembled a rainbow of stars.

Before going to sleep, Lu Sha fought off his drowsiness and glanced at the young lady's panel, discovering that her skill proficiency was quietly increasing again.

Fine, if I don't want to sleep, I don't want to sleep.

Lu Sha did not insist.

The young lady has an extraordinary talent that allows her to go without sleep, but his body can't withstand it.

Lu Sha slowly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and fullness coming from her chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Lu Sha woke up refreshed after sleeping for less than five hours.

On the other side, Scizor was surrounded by Scratcher and Diancie, who were vividly recounting its past adventures.

The rhinoceros listened with great interest, while the miniature dragon had already buried itself in a pile of food and was fast asleep.

The moment Lu Sha moved, Diancie rushed over as if she had seen a savior: "Lu Sha! Lu Sha! The outside world is too terrible, please help us! We can't survive without you!"

The little princess was trembling all over, her tender voice clearly trembling with sobs.

Clearly, the story of the praying mantis terrified the fledgling princess.

According to the scythe, the powerful colony of dozens of golems, whose leader was far more powerful than her, was wiped out by the scythe's former owner.

Pokémon were ruthlessly sold all over the world, and some were even sent to cold experimental tables, where they met a terrible end.

Waaaaah! Diancie doesn't want to go on any lab bench!

Although she didn't even know what the lab bench looked like, judging from the lingering fear in Scizor's tone when it mentioned it, it was definitely not a place for a newborn baby like her.

What devastated her even more was that she heard that legendary Pokémon were the primary targets of hunters because human collectors were willing to spend a fortune on them.

At first, she naively asked what a legendary Pokémon was, but the awake Cattleya calmly told her, "You are a legendary Pokémon, and so far I've only seen one like you."

Tianxi was terrified on the spot.

No!

Diancie is not a legendary Pokémon, and I don't want it to be a collectible!

The outside world is too scary!

"Click! (Don't listen to their nonsense. Not all humans are that bad. Besides, you can hide underground. Although there isn't much food here, it's safe.)" Lu Sha knew what had happened without even thinking. He reached out his shark claw and gently patted Diancie's little head, soothing her in a soft tone.

No! I can't do it! I can't be the queen of the little diamonds!

Diancie shook her head violently, her pink diamond crown bobbing up and down, clearly terrified: "The Scizor and the others said that Garchomp will protect Little Diamond. Can you just think of me as a Little Diamond named Diancie?"

Tianxi looked at Lu Sha with her big, watery eyes full of pleading.

"Click! (Don't be so afraid. No matter what you choose, I will protect you. So, I'll ask one last question: would you like to become my Pokémon and travel with me?)" The time is right.

Lu Sha slowly took out a red and white Poké Ball from his bag.

I'm willing! From now on, I'll be relying on you all for guidance, my little diamonds and I!

Diancie nodded vigorously. Having already learned how to use the Poké Ball from Scizor, she proactively touched the switch on the Poké Ball.

She transformed into a beam of red light and was absorbed into the sphere.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lu Sha's mind.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully capturing Diancie!] 【Tianxi】 Level: 60 (Near-King Level) Ability: Clean Body Moves: Diamond Storm (Mastery), Knock Off (Mastery), Primal Power (Mastery), Rock Polish (Mastery) Rockfall (Master), Impact (Skilled), Harden (Skilled), Defensive Split (Skilled), Frenzy (Skilled) Type control: Rock (30%), Fairy (30%), Normal (15%), Psychic (15%).

Click?

Is that right?

Are all these legends the world's favorite children?

Looking at Diancie's luxurious control panel, Lu Sha couldn't help but shed tears of envy.

Even though they are all Pokémon, some of them are dragons, yet they can't even learn Dragon Dance.

Some Pokémon are born with an incredible ability to master their own type of moves and be proficient in non-type moves.

The control over attributes is even more outrageous.

Other Pokémon might struggle to acquire a dozen or so top-tier resources, and if they manage to increase their attribute control by even 15%, they'd be lucky.

Diancie, on the other hand, had a 30% control over her own type right at birth, and a uniform 15% control over all other types.

This factory setting is the limit for other Pokémon's entire lifespan.

What happened to Caterpie and Rayquaza being promised that they could create miracles as long as they worked hard?

things in fairy tale are lies!

Lu Sha was mentally ranting about the world's injustices, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a wide smile.

The more outrageous Diancie's stats are, the more it proves that he made a killing through this scam.

Such a top-tier Pokémon would be a waste if it didn't go with him to make a name for itself in this world.

After releasing Diancie again, Lu Sha gave her a detailed plan regarding the future placement of the little diamonds and the responsibilities she would need to fulfill.

As for the Little Diamond Clan, Lu Sha plans to have Dorasena find a safe territory in the Carlos region to settle them properly and ensure they have enough to eat and wear.

The Sinnoh region has long been divided up by various forces. Given the young lady's current situation, it would be quite difficult for her to carve out an independent territory here. On the contrary, it would be more convenient for Carlos to operate there.

As for Diancie's task, it was much simpler.

Eat on time every day and practice your moves diligently.

Upon hearing this, Diancie, who had been completely brainwashed by the Scizor, patted her flat chest repeatedly and promised that she would train hard and never give the hunters a chance to drag her onto the experimental table.

In the companion nest of Diancie, the group rested for another day.

Because of the large number of Diamond Shards, Lu Sha had to spend more time digging a tunnel to the surface, and the young lady had to make a trip to Black Gold City to purchase enough Poké Balls before she could pack up and take all of the Diamond Shards away.

With the cleanup work completed, Lu Sha and Cattleya once again embarked on their unfinished underground adventure.

Neither Lu Sha nor the young lady likes to give up halfway.

Their journey through the underground of Tianguan Mountain was destined to come to an end.

This time, however, the team had Diancie, which dramatically improved their efficiency.

It must be said that Rock-type Mythical Pokémon are simply incomparable to Onix and the like.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the little princess caused the rock formations in front of her to automatically recede to the sides.

Having completely bid farewell to the tedious labor of digging, the group set off at an astonishing speed towards the depths of Tianguan Mountain.
