Chapter 478 King of the Brilliant Crown, the Eastern Empire is the most suitable place for you!
There are no innocent victims within the Rockets organization.
Especially since it was an elite team sent by Mu to carry out such an important and confidential mission.
The blood on these people's hands is no less than that of any vicious criminal.
If they are allowed to leave alive, not only will more innocent people suffer in the future.
Moreover, they would have to transport the goods to the Frozen Village and hand them over to the Alliance, which would be too much trouble.
As for having Miss Officer Jenny travel thousands of miles to escort them back, Xia Chi felt even more reluctant.
It's freezing cold here, it's not easy for them to make such a long trip.
No matter how you look at it, leaving them in the Crown Snowfield forever is the best choice.
It's both environmentally friendly and convenient.
Xia Chi withdrew her gaze and looked at the Queen of the Bridal Chamber.
The former king watched this scene unfold with an expressionless face throughout.
From the moment Victini fell from the sky to the moment Meowha swiftly cut through the mess with a single swipe of its paw, it watched it all.
But its face showed no expression, as if none of this concerned it.
But the little creatures it was protecting behind it reacted completely differently.
Snow Child hid behind Raikou, peeking out half of his head and staring wide-eyed as the "bad guys" fell one after another.
The sneezing bear huddled up in fright, but its eyes couldn't help but peek out.
Iceball was a bit bolder, peeking out from beside Calyrex's legs and curiously looking at the Team Rocket members lying on the ground.
The tiny Ice Vulpix stood at the very front.
It was trembling with fear, its six tails tightly intertwined, yet it still stood in place, shielding its smaller companions.
It only breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the last Team Rocket member fall.
Then, it glanced back at the Crowned King.
There was gratitude in his eyes, and also a sense of relief that "we're alright now."
The Crowned King looked down at it, a hint of tenderness flashing in its eyes.
It stretched out its paw and gently stroked the little head of the Ice Sixtail.
Finally, after eliminating the remaining forces of Team Rocket, Xia Chi arrived in front of the Queen of the Crown.
He did not bring any elves near.
Meowha and the others stayed where they were, and Victini obediently floated to the side without following.
Xia Chi stopped three meters away from the Crowned Queen and did not go any further.
This distance is such that it won't make the other person feel pressured, and it's also close enough for them to see each other clearly.
Xia Chi looked at the "Big-Headed Nyura" in front of him and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Upon closer inspection, the camouflage becomes even more obvious.
Although the head tried its best to imitate Nyula's shape, the proportions were completely wrong, and it was as big as a watermelon.
It's estimated that her strength has declined, which is why even when she uses superpowers to cosplay Nymph, her moves are full of flaws.
Xia Chi didn't speak, but just watched it quietly.
The Crowned King didn't speak either; it also looked at Xia Chi.
There was no relaxation in those deep eyes, only vigilance.
In its view, the group of humans ahead had ill intentions.
And what about Xia Chi, who appeared later? How much better was he?
They are just two birds of a feather, sharing the same thoughts but belonging to different camps.
Humans have always been the same.
They want legendary Pokémon simply for power, for authority, and to satisfy their own ambitions.
Although the person in front of it saved it, who can guarantee that it's not another form of "hunting"?
Perhaps this is the real big fish.
First, use an elf to rescue it and gain its trust, then reveal your true colors.
It's seen this kind of trick many times.
The Crowned Queen's gaze grew increasingly cold.
It shielded the Ice Six-Tailed Foxes behind it, lowering its body slightly as if ready to fight at any moment.
Although its strength was greatly reduced and it had just experienced a siege, its dignity as a king would not allow it to surrender easily.
Xia Chi couldn't help but laugh when he saw its appearance.
"take it easy."
Xia Chi spoke, her voice sincere: "I'm not here to arrest you."
The Crowned King did not respond, continuing to stare at him coldly.
That look clearly said—
Do you think I'd believe that?
Xia Chi was not annoyed.
He knew that for legendary Pokémon that had lived for countless years, trust was the most precious thing.
Especially a legendary Pokémon that has just witnessed "how humans treat legendary Pokémon".
He thought about it and changed his approach.
If brute force doesn't work, then we'll have to resort to unconventional methods.
He turned to look at Bictini and waved.
"Bictigini, come here."
Victini was floating in mid-air, her little face full of expectant expression, "Wasn't I handsome? Praise me!"
Upon hearing Xia Chi's call, it immediately flapped its little wings and flew over, landing steadily on Xia Chi's shoulder.
The little boy even tilted his head up, waiting to be praised.
Xia Chi ignored it and just kept throwing Poké Balls at it.
Flashes of white light appeared one after another.
Evil, Milton, Hoopa...
In addition, there's Dragonite, Meowth, and Latias.
The six spirits were all incredibly powerful, each one more formidable than the last.
Xia Chi calmly looked at the Queen of the Brilliant Crown and said, "Do you think your current strength is enough for me to go to such lengths to capture you?"
His tone was flat, as if he were stating a fact.
There was no sarcasm intended.
But it's precisely because there's no mockery that it hurts so much.
Crown of the Crowns:
'
'
It fell silent.
Although it seems like I'm being looked down upon, I... don't seem to be able to refute it.
Ergui was wearing a mask, so his expression couldn't be seen, but the energy fluctuations he exuded were as deep as an abyss.
Milton didn't recognize this Pokémon, but its enormous body, silver metallic sheen, and the lightning power within it sent its instincts into overdrive.
Hoopa... this little guy was still rolling around in the snow, having a great time, but Calycerin could sense that there was some extremely terrifying power hidden within it, a power that was enough to distort space.
And the Victini on its shoulder—it witnessed firsthand the power of that V-Blaze attack.
Although the Queen of the Lace-Crowned Queen is no longer as powerful as she once was, she still retains basic sensory abilities.
Frankly speaking, with such strength, it seems there's really no need for Kai to covet his own power.
Any one of those other animals could easily beat me now.
Is it really necessary to go to such great lengths to "catch" yourself?
If that masked little guy punches me, I'll be lying on the ground.
Thinking of this, the tension in King Raiguan's heart eased slightly.
But it's still being stubborn.
After all, he was once a king, so he has to retain some dignity.
"snort."
It snorted coldly, raised its massive head, and said in a voice as majestic as possible, "My peak strength may not be inferior to theirs!"
The voice was quite imposing.
But with its large head and small body, it's almost completely intimidating.
Xia Chi stared at it blankly, without saying a word.
But his eyes had already conveyed the meaning very clearly.
peak?
not necessarily?
Those two modifiers are brilliantly added.
Aren't you ashamed to say it yourself?
Of course, the Queen of the Lace Crown felt guilty.
It knows its current level of strength better than anyone else.
Forget about the peak, it's not even a fraction of the peak.
Over the past few hundred years, the power of faith has been almost completely depleted. Its strength is like a leaky balloon, getting weaker day by day. It can only maintain this form now and take care of a few little guys, which is already the limit.
If a fight really breaks out...
It glanced at the six elves opposite it and silently swallowed the rest of its sentence.
Although his words were still defiant, his actions had softened.
Its body began to change.
Nyula's appearance faded away like melting snow, revealing her true form.
Its entire body is white, and on its head grows a huge, cabbage-shaped green object—its "crown," a symbol of its power.
A pair of small eyes, hidden beneath the crown, were watching Xia Chi warily.
It stood there, trying to straighten its back and maintain its kingly dignity.
But that appearance... just couldn't be dignified.
When Bictini saw the true form of the Bejeweled King, her eyes lit up.
It flapped its little wings, almost flying over to touch the big cabbage, but Xia Chi stopped it with a look.
Hoopa also got up from the snow, saw the true form of the Calycerin King, and curiously floated over, circling it several times.
Wow! What a huge dish!
The Crowned King's lips twitched.
It took a deep breath and decided to ignore the little guys and look directly at Xia Chi.
The wariness was still present in those small eyes hidden beneath the crown, but they were much more relaxed than before.
"What business do you have with me?"
It asked a question, its voice carrying the majesty of a king—though this contrasted somewhat with its appearance, making it rather endearing.
Xia Chi succinctly stated his purpose directly.
I want to take you to Donghuang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Crowned King's expression changed.
The relaxation in those small eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a deeper wariness.
It let out a cold laugh.
Oh.
I thought this human had some profound insights, but in the end he was just lusting after my body!
All those nice words and elaborate setups, all they're doing is trying to seduce you in the end!
All that talk about "not coming to arrest me" or "just wanting to chat" is a lie!
The Crowned King lowered his body slightly, ready to flee at any moment.
Despite its inferior strength, it still had the confidence to escape.
Xia Chi remained calm and unperturbed when he saw its appearance.
He knew what the Crown Prince was thinking.
Legendary Pokémon that have lived for so many years have a deep-seated wariness of humans.
He spoke slowly and calmly.
"I know what you're thinking."
"So I said I'd take you to Donghuang," not "come home with me."
King Rachel frowned. "What's the difference?"
Its voice still carried a sense of vigilance, but also a hint of doubt.
the difference?
It's just a matter of saying it in a nicer way, isn't it?
Xia Chi explained, "What I mean is, I don't want to subdue you, I just want to take you to a place that is more suitable for you, a place that can help you restore your faith power."
He paused, then continued, "You can think of it as a...suggestion, an invitation. You have complete freedom of choice; if you don't want to go, you can leave at any time."
The Crowned Queen's eyes flickered.
It pondered the truth or falsehood in Xia Chi's words.
Restoring the power of faith...
This is the greatest temptation for it.
Having lost its power for centuries, it understands better than anyone what power means.
It means being able to protect what you want to protect.
This means that there is no longer a need to pretend to be Nyula to collect relief food.
It means being able to stand upright in the sunlight, instead of hiding in the shadows and eking out a living.
But if the price is the loss of freedom, becoming someone else's puppet.
It would rather remain Newra.
It raised its head and looked into Xia Chi's eyes.
In those eyes, there was no greed, no scheming, only sincerity.
With its many years of experience, it can tell the difference.
After pondering for a while, it couldn't resist the temptation and asked, "Why should I trust you?"
In fact, this was already the result of Xia Chi gaining the initial trust of the King of Lacecrown.
If it were anyone else, this turnip would have packed up and left long ago. Strength is valuable, but freedom is even more precious.
It does not want to sacrifice its will for power.
But the humans before me do seem somewhat credible.
After all, judging from the strength he had shown, there was nothing he could gain from him.
Unless he's a perverted collector who specializes in collecting all sorts of legendary Pokémon.
But judging from his appearance... it doesn't seem like it.
Xia Chi slowly began to make empty promises.
"Because...there is no region in the world that loves farming more than the people of Donghuang."
His tone carried an inexplicable confidence.
"There, the power of faith you, the King of Abundance, will receive will be ten or even a hundred times greater than it was in your prime."
This is the truth.
Farming is something ingrained in the bones of the people of Donghuang.
From south to north, from east to west, wherever there is a piece of land, the people of Donghuang will think about what to plant.
Growing vegetables on the balcony, growing vegetables on the roof, even planting a couple of scallions in flower pots.
If the Queen of the Lace Crown were to go to the Eastern Empire...
Xia Chi didn't even dare to think about it.
Those old farmers who have farmed all their lives would probably worship the Crème de la Mer.
The Crowned King remained silent.
It could sense the sincerity in Xia Chi's words.
But it still hesitated.
The Crown Snowfield is where it has lived for hundreds of years.
Every snowflake and every tree here carries its memories.
Those glorious days.
Those times spent with his people.
Those were the years when I rode two divine horses across the snowy plains.
besides...
It raised its head and looked into the distance.
There, deep within the Crown Snowfield, lie its two beloved horses, fast asleep.
Making the decision to leave one's hometown is not so simple.
Xia Chi looked at the hesitant expression on the Queen of the Brilliant Crown's face and understood.
He knew what leaving one's homeland meant for a legendary Pokémon that had lived for so long.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about this, you come back to Frozen Village with me first, and I'll help you recover some of your strength, okay?"
The Crowned Queen raised her head, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.
Free?
Xia Chi looked at its eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"It's free."
He added, emphasizing his words.
"No fees, no costs required, just consider it... making friends."
The Queen of the Lace Crown looked at him with suspicion.
But the human in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
It hesitated for a long time before finally nodding slowly.
"I... will trust you this once."
Bictini, standing to the side, tried to smile.
Having followed Xia Chi for so long, it knows best how good its trainer is at deceiving people.
Free?
What's free is often the most expensive!
Once the turnips are on the boat, getting off won't be so easy!
