So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 234 The Last Human, Diancie, Will You Come With Me?

"Lord Talebagos—" Tianxi covered her mouth, looking at Wei Xin in surprise as he reached out and picked up Talebagos without saying a word.

That's a mythical beast.

Wei Xin said he didn't care. He had even ridden Rayquaza, so how could he be afraid of a harmless little turtle?

"Bago!!!" Talebagos howled at Amegius like a Chihuahua.

Furious.

"What's going on here? Emegio, you and Talebagos don't have a grudge, do you?" Wei Xin asked.

He even called you a baka (idiot).

"I don't know," Amegio replied, equally puzzled.

"Perhaps—it's because Amegio carries the aura of the Lac element," Spinner speculated.

"Impossible, I've never used a power-up ball!" Amegio said.

Spiner explained, "It's not about the enhancement ball—it's that you carry the aura of the Lak element. Your great-grandfather was able to extend his lifespan and live to this day because of the Lak element. Perhaps the influence of the Lak element is hereditary—or perhaps you and your great-grandfather have been pickled in it."

Gengar pinched its nose; the smell was quite strong.

Wei Xin suddenly realized: "I understand now. If the Lac element is the junk code left behind by Talebagos, then Amegio is a small piece of code that was accidentally generated by mixing this code with other programs."

How could any programmer not get furious when they see their own code starting to generate new code?

"After all, the Lak element is the cancer of the planet."

Wei Xin's words caught Amegio's attention.

"Lark element is the cancer of the earth? Impossible!" Amegio retorted. "Lark element can sustain life, which means eternal happiness. That's what my great-grandfather told me."

Spinner glanced at Amegio, the silly young master. He had been tricked into joining the group in the same way, only to realize later that all the grand ideals were just bigger selfish desires. They had all been deceived by Gibing.

"Did your great-grandfather tell you that the Lac element can erode Pokémon's bodies and damage the natural environment, and that if left unchecked, it could cause the destruction of the world?" Wei Xin took out a notebook from his backpack and placed it in front of Amegio.

Amegio's eyes widened suddenly, his brows furrowing, not only because of the words on the page, but also because of the last handwriting in the notebook: "How is this possible—this is my handwriting?"

"Your notebook?"

"No, it's the handwriting, or rather, the writing style. The last paragraph is exactly the same as my handwriting."

Amegio said he wouldn't admit he was wrong.

"Your handwriting is quite nice," Wei Xin said, placing the notebook on Amegio's head. When he opened it again, Amegio's name appeared on it.

The truth came out: Emezio was the last human to survive.

"But why?" Amegio's pupils trembled as he felt his long-established worldview gradually crumbling in his mind. If the contents of the notebook were true, if the Lak element really would lead to the destruction of the world, then what was the expedition team's lofty ideal? Why should he survive to the end?

"Perhaps your body has a natural resistance to the Lak element," Wei Xin said, turning to look at Talebagos. "Can you remove the effects of the Lak element from Amegio's body?"

"Bago~" Talebagos shook his head; he was powerless to help.

He majored in materials science and knew nothing about genetics.

Seeing Amegio fall silent, breaking down in defensiveness, Wei Xin changed the subject, turning Talebagos to Diancie: "Never mind then. By the way, Talebagos, can you grant Diancie the ability to create pink diamonds?"

"Bago!" Talebagos nodded, closed his eyes, and the last remaining memories in his mind turned into streams of light, landing on Diancie.

"This is—the combination of fairy and rock power, I see—" In her astonishment, Diancie felt that she had gained more knowledge in her mind, or rather, that the parts of her knowledge that were lacking had been filled.

Her body floated up slowly, long white ribbons swaying gracefully in the air, along with a skirt made of beautiful light pink diamonds.

Kirlia and Sylveon also jumped out to witness this amazing scene.

"This is Super Diancie, she's so beautiful!" Kornie exclaimed. "She's like a princess from a fairy tale."

"Is it possible that Diancie was originally a princess?" Wei Xin said with a smile.

When Diancie clasped her hands together and opened them again, she held a pale pink diamond in her hands. It was no longer a fake made of energy, but a real pink diamond worthy of being called eternal.

Even if Mega Evolution is canceled, it will not disappear.

"Congratulations, Diancie." Wei Xin clapped his hands in congratulations, and the applause in the mine rose and fell in waves.

"Yes, thank you, Lord Talebagos, and thank you, Lord Weixin." Tianxi lifted her skirt, bowed her head, and gracefully greeted everyone.

In this way, she would have the power to lead her people to build a diamond kingdom.

"The Diancie affair, the Mastiff Godfather affair, and the Spinner affair are all over—" Wei Xin calculated the time. From the shallow mine to the Zero Mine, he had rescued Korni, dealt with General Servant, and arrested Spinner and Emegio. They had been underground for almost a week.

"It's time to go out." Wei Xin looked down at Talebagos in his arms. "One of our goals is to cleanse the Lak element. Talebagos, do you want to come with us?"

"Bago!!!" Talebagos laughed, his four short mineral legs flailing back and forth.

"Why does Talebagos seem so goofy?"

Are all mythical beasts like this?

"Because it's a rebirth," Zygard explained, "the current version of it is not the same as the past version. Its reaction to the Lak element should be muscle memory—its brain is probably empty—to expect it to create minerals—it would have to relearn programming from scratch, but it can still delete the Lak element."

Programming is difficult, but pressing the delete key is something anyone can do, right?

Wei Xin took out the red and white balls, and Talebagos joined the team.

"So, Diancie, would you like to come back to land with me?"

Wei Xin turned to look at Diancie, his eyes filled with anticipation. He really wanted to take Diancie away, but he still held Kirlia and Sylveon in his arms and reminded her, "Our previous agreement can be nullified. I hope your choice comes from your heart, and you are not being forced to come to my side. If all else fails, give me a huge pink diamond as a souvenir."

Tianxi opened her mouth, feeling Wei Xin's burning gaze on her face. She hesitated, then slowly lowered her head in silence: "My people need me—"

"Is that so?" Wei Xin said with some regret, then heard Diancie's voice in his ear, "But this mine is too dangerous for them. If I leave, no one will be able to protect them, so—"

I know this request is unreasonable, but—if Lord Wei Xin could help us find a suitable and safe place to live, that would be wonderful.

She covered her face, shyly watching Wei Xin's expression shift from disappointment to excitement. She blinked her bright eyes, like stars in the night sky, appearing and disappearing. She gently jumped to Wei Xin's side, rested her head on his lap, and whispered in a voice barely above a whisper, "It would be best if I could be closer to you, so I could have time to be by your side and repay your kindness."

If I had to put a time limit on this, I would hope it would be as eternal as a diamond.

"Then it's settled. Welcome to this family." Wei Xin took Diancie's hand and formally embraced her for the first time. Sylveon, seeing the beautiful Diancie about to become family, felt a sense of unease. She was just too beautiful, and even considered whether to join forces with Kirlia.

Kirlia, on the other hand, didn't have that thought. She believed that the trainer wouldn't favor one over the other, and even if they did, it would be her. She was just worried that Diancie's bed might be too small when she got home. She could feel that after the trip, most of the energy in her body had been used up, and she seemed to be just one step away from evolving.

Wei Xin pulled Tianxi into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Actually, I lied just now."

Tianxi turned and stared at Wei Xin, puzzled.

"There are no secrets in this world. The Zero Mine has been discovered, and many people will come here to study and explore it. Your existence will definitely be known. I can't possibly give you to someone else. So, even if you choose to refuse me, I will find a way to take you away."

Tianxi stared blankly at Wei Xin, and in silence, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she were being coquettish or complaining. She raised her fist and gently tapped Wei Xin's abdomen.

"You really are a wicked gentleman."

But I like you just the way you are.
