"Do you think we'd believe such nonsense?"
Xia Huona spread his hands. "What do you mean by nonsense? No one dares to claim they fully understand the mysteries of Pokémon even now. Take Cresselia and Darkrai for example, they can enter dreams. And Groudon, though famous for his power, stubbornly cannot fly. Besides, even Arceus, the creator god, was defeated by those from the neighboring region. What stranger things could happen?"
Xia Huona's demeanor, like that of a street rogue, made the three of them feel rather vexed.
"You've researched quite rapidly. You figured it all out in just a few months."
Xia Huona raised Diancie again. "Ta-da! It's time for our adorable little princess to make her appearance again. Although the Pokémon species Carbink hasn't been discovered for long, it doesn't mean Carbink itself came into existence recently. It's not strange for the knowledge inheritance of the Carbink species to include how to use Key Stones."
Xia Huona's responses were truly watertight. However, the three from the Pokémon League weren't entirely unprepared. "I see. Then, would it be possible for Diancie to cooperate with us? We wish to study Diancie up close, as well as this newly emerged evolutionary type."
Xia Huona lowered his head to look at Diancie. He didn't know what Diancie had said, but he saw Xia Huona decisively refuse, "No, our little princess has not agreed. She said the word 'research' makes her feel scared."
"Observation, then how about observation?"
Xia Huona thought for a moment, then said to Diancie, "Diancie. Observation means going with me to the Pokémon League's research facility to play for two days. There'll be lots of delicious food, fun things, and other Pokémon to keep you company. What do you say, want to go?"
Diancie thought for a moment, then clapped her hands with joy. Mu Chen asked, "Does that mean she agreed?"
Xia Huona replied, "Yes, our little princess has agreed. But she said that to prevent herself from feeling lonely, she wishes for the Pokémon League to invite her good friend Magearna, whom she met yesterday, to play together."
Xia Huona agreed verbally, but he knew clearly that whether these three were scoundrels from the Pokémon League or spies from the Rainbow Star Group, it would be impossible for them to arrange an environment for Magearna and Diancie to play together. This agreement and disagreement were effectively the same.
To his surprise, Mu Chen only thought for a moment before replying, "Alright. We will contact the Six Spirit Hall and arrange the best environment for you."
Hearing this, Xia Huona's heart skipped a beat. However, he quickly recovered. "Good, then we will await your good news. Do you have any other questions?"
Seeing the three of them shake their heads, Xia Huona took a camera from his tie. "Alright, dear viewers, today's 'Xia Huona Tours the League' ends here. If you have any questions about Mega Evolution or anything else, feel free to leave me a message."
Mu Chen slammed the table and stood up. "You, you're live-streaming?"
Xia Huona blinked. "Ah, yes. The Pokémon League didn't say it's forbidden to live-stream in the League building. Although I'm using a camera from Rainbow Star Mall, it's mainly because our League doesn't have such small products; they are all Pokémon-exclusive."
After speaking, Xia Huona waved to the three of them. "Then I'll be heading back. Our Six Spirit Hall is almost on break, and I need to go on vacation. I have a lot to do."
Watching Xia Huona's retreating back, Mu Chen and the other two simultaneously punched the table. "Damn it, we didn't get Diancie or Mega Evolution. What do we do?"
"What do you mean, what do we do? He's going on vacation, isn't he? Then his vacation destination can only be hell."
