Chapter 232: Daigo the Brain-Dead Fan, Sonia Joins the Group [Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Treats]
The reason Su Sheng said this to Cynthia, aside from not being interested in having a camera following him around—even if that camera posed no threat—was that, as a Pokémon player in his previous life, Su Sheng had a good impression of Cynthia.
After this meeting, Su Sheng realized that if he didn't give Cynthia some guidance, she might actually have a mental breakdown.

"I'll arrange a private jet to send you back to Sinnoh tomorrow. Don't overthink it."
Su Sheng patted Cynthia on the shoulder and strode away.
Cynthia, already stunned, stood there in a daze until she heard the "thud" of the door closing behind her, then she came back to her senses.
"What am I even…"
……
……
"Not leaving?"
The next day, Su Sheng received a message from Cynthia and immediately wore the expression of the metro old man.
So, his persuasion last night was for nothing?
Or did that girl really think she could do anything if he wanted to cause trouble?
Su Sheng thought for a moment and finally replied, "Let's get along well." Then, noticing Lusamine's gaze, he pulled her into the bathroom.
Team Flare exposed, Kalos League Chairman Lysandre turns out to be the head of a criminal organization, the evil Hoopa summons six top Legendaries, Su Sheng and Joker join forces to wage Ragnarok against the seven gods…
In less than three days, there were too many things to report.
Even news like Physco jumping from Kalos to Alola couldn't make the second page, let alone Korrina almost getting overturned by Red.
Hoenn 《Mauville TV》: [In a moment of crisis, Dr. Su Sheng had his Hoopa transfer millions of citizens from Lumiose City in one go, minimizing the losses. He proved to the world that he not only possesses unparalleled strength but also a heart that cares for the people. However, what is worrying is the situation of the Kalos League. League Chairman Lysandre turned out to be the head of a criminal organization, and in the moment of crisis, the Kalos League trainers led by Champion Korrina did not play a role. This makes us worried about the future of the Kalos region]
Galar 《Spikemuth Daily》: [In a moment of crisis, Dr. Su Sheng had his Hoopa summon Champion Leon of our Galar League instead of Champion Lance of the Indigo League. This shows that Dr. Su Sheng recognizes Leon's strength more and also represents his friendship with the Galar League]
Sinnoh 《Jubilife TV》: [Rumors confirmed, Sinnoh League Champion Cynthia has publicly stated that she hopes to transfer from Sinnoh to Alola. Chairman Rowan accepted an interview and said that although he is heartbroken by Cynthia's departure, he still supports her in pursuing her dreams]
Kalos 《Lumiose Daily》: [The Kalos League and the Alola League have officially announced that Ms. Physco will transfer to Alola and serve as the Pony Island Gym Leader. Physco said in an interview that the reason she did this was that she was not used to the comfortable atmosphere of the Kalos region]
Unova 《Nimbasa Evening News》: [The Lumiose City battle has proven that Zekrom has chosen this year's Ideal Hero. The true identity of this lucky one is still under investigation, and Reshiram does not seem to have been born yet. Chairwoman Grand Elder hopes that the two heroes can unite this time. Now is not the time for ideals and truth to compete, but they should unite to defend against Team Rocket]
……
……
Among the major news, the news of Hoopa Unbound being captured by Joker was suppressed by the League.
After all, that guy's terror was seen by the whole world.
Once this news leaked, without even thinking about it, the whole world would be plunged into panic.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the League's high-level personnel were uneasy.
They were afraid that when they fell asleep, a portal would pop up by their bedside, and then Team Rocket would drill out of it and send them to the west.
Under such circumstances, many high-level League officials and business tycoons who had a bad relationship with Team Rocket began to hire powerful trainers just in case.
But this was only on the surface. In secret, these people showed their goodwill to Team Rocket through various channels.
Hoopa's deterrent power was that strong.
Alola, Su Sheng found Cynthia a formal residence—a villa on Manalo Island, the location of the Alola League headquarters.
After all, the position Su Sheng reserved for Cynthia was one of the future Alola Elite Four, so living here was more appropriate.
The other three positions, if nothing unexpected happened, two of them would be for Anabel and Koga, and the other one… pending.
"Why did you still decide to stay?"
Before leaving, seeing that Cynthia didn't seem as bright as she had been in previous meetings, Su Sheng casually asked.
"I want to understand what kind of person you are."
Cynthia said with a serious face.
"Huh?"
Su Sheng was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Cynthia meant.
Cynthia said that if Su Sheng really wanted to do something detrimental to the League or the world, she really couldn't stop it.
But she still wanted to stay in Alola and see clearly what kind of person Su Sheng was.
Su Sheng was speechless for a moment at Cynthia's answer.
Even if you understand, you can't do anything… Forget it, as long as it's not like imitating Jing Ni.
Two weeks later, Sinnoh 《Jubilife TV》 reported: "After discussions by the Sinnoh Pokémon League represented by Chairman Rowan, it was decided to hold a special Champion Tournament. The Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brains, led by Battle Castle Owner Dahlia, will launch a grand showdown with the Sinnoh Elite Four to compete for the new Sinnoh Champion."
Seeing this report, Su Sheng couldn't remember who "Dahlia" was for a moment.
After checking, he realized that this guy was one of the Sinnoh Battle Frontier Brains and also the father of that blonde guy in the anime who kept shouting "Fine!".
Su Sheng recalled that this person didn't have many roles in the original anime or manga.
But every time he appeared, he showed a high level of competence and had experience fighting Cynthia, so he should have the strength of a Champion.
A week later, Su Sheng and a group of companions watched the Sinnoh Champion Tournament on TV.
As expected, Dahlia defeated Sinnoh Fire-type Elite Four Flint's six Pokémon with his four Pokémon—Milotic, Dragonite, Aggron, and Rhyperior—in a 6V6 full battle.
He ascended to the new Sinnoh Champion throne with a considerable advantage.
A week later, Su Sheng felt an unnatural tremor in a Poké Ball on his waist.
He picked it up and found that it was the Poké Ball containing the Tree of Life.
Is it finally waking up?
Su Sheng obtained this Poké Ball from Physco after she was captured and joined Alola.
After all, the whole thing started because Su Sheng wanted Xerneas to help heal Giovanni, and then a series of major events occurred.
Giovanni's condition had not yet deteriorated, and the first thing Su Sheng thought of was Diancie, who had been traveling with Sonia for a long time.
After the battle of the gods in Lumiose City, Sonia, who returned to Alola with Diancie, did not return to Kalos to participate in the Satellite Tournament.
Instead, she went to Hoenn to travel with the goal of becoming a top Coordinator.
Su Sheng and Lana both agreed with her decision.
After all, the value of the Grand Festival was much higher than that of the Satellite Tournament.
She had already obtained two Ribbon Badges, and Diancie had gradually become her signature Pokémon.
"Hoopa, open a gate."
Su Sheng shouted.
Hoopa Unbound, with a dark face, jumped out of the Ultra Ball and threw out the golden ring.
……
Hoenn Region, Lilycove City Grand Festival Venue, First Stage Performance Site.
"Diancie, Moonblast!"
Under the eyes of nearly a thousand spectators and the cameras, Sonia pointed her slender finger high into the sky.
The Diamond Princess, who appeared from the Poké Ball, raised her exquisite little hands high.
A dazzling light pink orb continued to expand at the top of her hands, expanding.
It was like a small round moon perched directly above the arena.
"It's so beautiful! As expected of the legendary Pokémon known as the [Diamond Princess]!"
Host Vivian exclaimed.
The attention of all the audience was focused on Diancie in the center of the stage.
No one even noticed a golden ring appearing at the entrance.
"Power Gem!"
Sonia showed a bright smile.
Colorful gems splashed out and collided with the huge round moon on the ceiling.
Instantly, the huge light pink moon, like broken pearls, dripped onto the smooth arena and onto the shoulders of every audience member.
The jewels splashed, reflecting a charming light.
At the end, Sonia and Diancie together pinched the corners of their skirts and made an elegant farewell like a princess's curtain call.
Instantly, the three judges lit up 10, 10, 10, for a total of 30 points, a perfect score.
The Diamond Princess's perfect performance, coupled with the beautiful trainer in her youth.
The three judges even felt that their scores were too low.
"Amazing! Diancie!"
"Subarashi! It's worth me making a special trip from Dewford Town to watch the competition!"
"Miss Sonia is also so beautiful!"
The audience all stood up and applauded, making deafening cheers.
"So beautiful, so beautiful, Diancie ah ah ah—"
Su Sheng suddenly felt that this shout was a bit familiar.
Turning his head to look, he found that Daigo was waving a glow stick, shouting Diancie's name like a star-chasing dead fat宅.
Su Sheng:……
……
……
With Sonia and Diancie's combination shining so brightly, the performances of the later contestants seemed a bit dull.
The perfect score of 30 points allowed Sonia to enter the second round of the battle stage without any surprises.
Although Diancie was not considered good at fighting among the secondary gods, Su Sheng didn't think anyone could win against her.
But the opponent Sonia encountered surprised Su Sheng a bit.
A sissy dressed like a cactus with a non-male, non-female temperament.
In Vivian's introduction, Su Sheng learned the person's name—Harley.
"Go, Cacturne!"
Harley sent out his Pokémon and launched a quick attack with the concept of striking first, "Seed Bomb!"
"Diancie, Dazzling Gleam."
Diancie spread her two little hands, and countless dazzling and brilliant light particles instantly suppressed the opponent's Seed Bomb, and the power was not reduced at all, knocking the opponent's Cacturne away.
Cacturne, who was knocked over on all fours, pressed his hands on the ground and wanted to get up, but after a two-second stalemate, he still fell down weakly.
"Beep!"
Harley's avatar appeared on the big screen with a big "X", indicating that the contestant was eliminated.
"Cacturne is unable to battle, Diancie wins! Therefore, the contestant who advances to the next round is Sonia."
Vivian announced the battle results in a timely manner.
Completely unable to see the level of the comprehensive strength of the two trainers, purely numerical crushing, just like Darkrai in the Lily of the Valley Conference in the anime.
"Hey! This is too unfair?!"
Harley collapsed and said: "Who can win against her with Diancie? That's a legendary Pokémon!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
This… well, it does make a bit of sense.
However, at this moment, a rather disdainful voice sounded: "What? Do you want her to use Mew?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and the next second, their faces changed dramatically.
Harley, who originally wanted to protest, turned pale and didn't dare to say anything more.
Daigo, who was stunned for a while, recovered a few seconds later and looked at the lazy cat lying in Sonia's bag, only showing its head wearing headphones and snoring.
Well, it seems to make sense… Sonia is being merciful by using Diancie.
Don't forget that she has another god-tier card!
……
……
After the competition, Sonia won the third Ribbon Badge without any suspense.
"Are you… here to watch my competition?"
Outside the venue, Sonia asked with a slightly confused expression.
"Um… sort of, but this isn't a good place to talk. Come with me."
Su Sheng said, preparing to have Hoopa open a gate back to Alola again.
But he suddenly remembered that Little Hoopa was still with Mayari, and Sonia was not a member of the family group, so she didn't know that Hoopa Unbound was with him.
"Eh? Dr. Su Sheng, Miss Sonia, are you still here? Want to have a meal together? Call Diancie too."
Daigo came over and invited them at this time. For some reason, he emphasized the last sentence.
Su Sheng blinked.
This is really like someone sending a pillow when you're sleepy.
……
The main hall of the Devon Corporation headquarters building in Lilycove City.
As the president's son, Daigo had the irrelevant personnel leave the scene, and Su Sheng threw out the Ultra Ball in his hand.
Seeing the noble figure in front of her, the Diamond Princess's ruby eyes revealed full of admiration and longing, and she placed her right hand on the gem on her chest and performed a noble salute: [Lord Xerneas~ Please grant me eternal power]
"Wow, this is the second time I've seen it…"
Daigo exclaimed.
Xerneas's expression didn't change much. In the three thousand years, every generation of Diancie would beg him to grant them eternal power, or rather, the power of Mega Evolution.
He was already used to it.
But speaking of which… this doesn't seem to be Kalos? Where did you bring me? Where did that red-haired female human go? And why is it you guys again?
Xerneas had too many doubts in his heart, but he still chose to give the power to the Diancie in front of him first.
Just like before.
The Eternal God's antlers turned seven-colored, blooming with holy light pouring into Diancie's body.
It was just like a year ago when he granted Sū Shèng, Daigo, and others MEGA power.
"Are we going to separate?"
Sonia, who should have been happy for Diancie, spoke with a crying voice, trying to restrain herself from letting the little pearls fall.
Because Diancie, as the princess of the Diamond Ore Country, has the responsibility to protect the Carbink tribe.
Her trip was to find Xerneas.
And now that the goal has been achieved, it is natural to go back.
[Sonia...]
Diancie, who gained new power, also looked reluctant.
Of course, she didn't want to leave either.
But she had no choice, she still had her people to protect.
"Then it's simple, let them all move to Alola, wouldn't that be fine?"
Sū Shèng suddenly spoke.
As soon as this was said, everyone present turned their attention to Sū Shèng.
Sū Shèng continued without changing his expression: "Diancie, how many Carbink do you have under your command? Hundreds? Or thousands? As long as there are not tens of thousands, tell me the address, and I will let Hoopa transfer them all to Alola to live, which is equivalent to moving the capital. As long as you, the princess, give the order, they should not object. If it doesn't work, let Xerneas come forward to help persuade them."
Xerneas: ???
No, what does this have to do with me?
Sonia opened her small mouth slightly: "Can, can it be like this?"
"What's impossible? Although Alola is not big, it is still no problem to support a group of Carbink."
The situation that Sonia and Diancie are facing is a bit like the state of Haruka and Manaphy in the movie.
At that time, the bond between Haruka and Manaphy was already very deep, but Manaphy, as the [Prince of the Sea], must return to the sea to protect the Pokémon in the sea.
Although Sū Shèng didn't know how such a weakling protected them.
But Haruka and Manaphy could not be together from the beginning.
Although Diancie's situation is similar, it is actually completely different.
What she has to protect is just a group of Carbink, what's so difficult? Just move them all to Alola!
Not to mention there is also Hoopa this bug.
"Can, can it be done? Diancie."
Sonia looked at Diancie nervously.
[I, I'll try]
Diancie's equally fearful and happy voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Great! Great!"
Sonia cried with joy and hugged Diancie.
Looking at this pair of partners hugging each other, Daigo, who was watching, and Xerneas, who didn't know why, both showed gratified smiles.
After a while, Sonia let go of Diancie.
Sū Shèng joked: "Hey, aren't you going to thank me? I came up with the idea."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sū Shèng felt a delicate body in his arms.
The next second, two words couldn't help but pop into his mind.
...
...
That night, Sū Shèng and Sonia stayed in the guest room arranged by Daigo.
Whenever he thought of the amazing softness he felt in the afternoon, Sū Shèng found it hard to fall asleep.
Just as he was thinking about whether to let Hoopa Unbound open a portal, Sū Shèng's phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.
[Thank you]
Below the message, there was also a Pikachu heart-shaped emoticon.
But it was withdrawn in less than five seconds.
Before Sū Shèng could reply, Sonia sent another message: [Just expressing gratitude, don't overthink it]
Sū Shèng was thoughtful.
Two minutes later.
A golden ring rose out of thin air in Sonia's room and quickly magnified.
Sū Shèng tiptoed out of it, just as the evening breeze blew, brushing against the body of the girl who was less than twenty years old, but whose figure was already ripe.
After quietly walking up, Sū Shèng hugged Sonia from behind.
Sonia, who was lying on her side with her back to the window waiting for a reply, was almost scared to death.
Sū Shèng covered her mouth, "It's me!"
"You, what are you doing?!"
Sonia had a ghostly expression, but the fleeting surprise in her eyes was successfully captured by Sū Shèng.
"Inviting new members to the group~"
Sū Shèng's chin rested on Sonia's forehead.
...
...
Early the next morning, Sū Shèng opened his eyes.
Sonia and Rurina were still asleep hugging each other. After all, it was the first time, and their combat power was limited. In the second half, Rurina was called over from Alola.
