Just as a few people were greeting each other, an anxious and helpless old voice came from the ancient fairy tree.
"Princess, when will you learn etiquette? The kingdom celebration will begin in three days, and your reckless behavior will be disrespectful in front of the neighboring tribes who will be watching the ceremony."
Along with the Diamond Minister's voice, a little elf with pink diamonds all over its body jumped down from the ancient fairy tree, and its jumping appearance was extremely cute.
Minister Diamond appeared beside Diancie with a helpless look on his face. He originally wanted to teach Diancie a lesson, but when he saw Hua Jianming, he felt like he saw a savior.
"Sir, please save the Diamond Kingdom!"
Minister Zuan threw himself at Hua Jianming's feet and squeezed out two tears.
Hua Jianming and Xia Chan looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
"Minister Zuan, you get up first." Hua Jianming bent down and helped Minister Zuan up, then asked, "What happened?"
"Princess Diancie is so lively and playful that she can't calm down and learn etiquette. How can a princess of the Diamond Kingdom not have manners at all?"
Minister Diamond said as he looked at Diancie, looking disappointed.
"Sir, could you please ask a real human princess to teach Princess Diancie the proper etiquette of a princess?"
"Because even I don't have much knowledge of these etiquettes and can't teach Princess Diancie well."
Minister Drill looked remorseful.
Hua Jianming looked very confused.
A real human princess?
Where to find it?
Hua Jianming, who was about to refuse, suddenly thought of something and agreed immediately.
Mineral rock area,
Hua Jianming took Sakaki and Apollo towards the desert in the middle of the mineral-rich rock area. His target was there.
"Apollo, what kind of elf do you like?"
Hua Jianming looked back at Apollo, who was looking into the distance with a distracted look.
Apollo did not answer, or rather, he did not think that Hua Jianming would ask him, and he was still daydreaming.
Sakaki frowned and patted the absent-minded Apollo angrily.
"Ah, what happened, Boss?"
Apollo came back to his senses, scratched his head, and looked at Sakaki with a puzzled look.
"The boss asks you what kind of elf you like."
Sakaki understood what Hua Jianming meant and was worried that Apollo would miss this opportunity, so he quickly repeated Hua Jianming's question.
"As for me, I like those handsome, cool, and fierce elves..."
Apollo still didn't realize the purpose of Hua Jianming's asking this question. He became more and more excited as he spoke, and said all kinds of strange things.
Sakaki couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he punched Apollo on the head with his big fist.
Apollo immediately became serious.
"Evil type, I want to specialize in evil type."
"I don't have the boss's talent, so choosing to specialize in one department is the best way out. Only in this way can I better follow the boss."
Apollo stole a glance at Sakaki, and when he saw no reaction he continued.
"Besides, the breeding house currently doesn't have a representative for the evil type. If I choose to specialize in the evil type, the boss should do his best to train me."
"Well, that's what the boss told me."
After hearing this, Sakaki was furious. He wanted to strangle his stupid little brother to death right there and then. If looks could kill, Sakaki swore Apollo would have died countless times.
"Hahaha, that's true."
Hua Jianming didn't care, instead he touched Apollo's crew cut.
"However, to become a spokesperson for the breeding house, you must be at least 18 years old."
This is a rigid rule of the system, otherwise Hua Jianming would have made his two younger brothers Xiangnan and Xiangbei the spokesmen of the breeding house long ago.
After all, no matter how good others are, they can't compare to the younger brother who has been dependent on you since childhood.
Speaking of which, the south and north should be having holidays soon, right?
The two of them haven't contacted Hua Jianming since they started preparing for the final exam. To be honest, they miss them a little.
Hua Jianming stopped talking and continued walking towards the desert with Sakaki and the other man.
Speaking of which, the deeper you go into the mineral-bearing rock area, the more lively it becomes. More and more elves appear in front of the three of them.
Apollo looked at the elves on the road as if he was visiting a tourist attraction, with envy written all over his face.
"Did you see those elves?"
Hua Jianming pointed to a group of Pokémon in the desert and said, "This is an opportunity I'm giving to Apollo. If he can gain the recognition of a young Kiras, he can become its trainer."
Hua Jianming took out a fairy forest ball and handed it to the more reliable Sakaki.
Sakaki understood what Hua Jianming meant, and after taking the Fairy Forest Ball, he put it in his pocket. Then he pulled Apollo, who was full of joy, over and bowed again to express his gratitude.
Just then, a team of Crimson Lotus Knights brought news from Icecrown that something had happened there.
"You guys do it on your own, I'll go over and take a look first."
Hua Jianming released the ancient sword leopard and rode up.
"Let's go, little leopard."
The ancient sword leopard took a step forward, rolling up the snowflakes and heading towards the Icecrown Snowfield.
Only when Hua Jianming's figure completely disappeared did Sakaki withdraw his gaze.
"Let's go to the Glimmering Forest first."
Apollo scratched his head in confusion: "Didn't you say you would subdue Young Kiras? Why are you leaving now?"
Although he said this, Apollo still obediently followed Sakaki's pace.
"Do you think you can recapture Young Kiras with your current strength?"
"That's right, what should we do?"
"In any case, you should improve your strength first. You should at least reach the elite level before you can make a move."
"But why can't I learn from you and cultivate a good relationship with young Kiras and then subdue him directly?"
"The Bangilas are the worst tribe in the entire eco-park. If you don't want to be beaten, just do as I say."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
"I'm going to find Master Xia Chan now, what about you?"
"I'll go to the Ancient Gladiator Tree. My watermelon-headed master should be training there. The boss is really stupid. He arranged a fighting-type trainer for me, a trainer who is preparing to specialize in Darkness."
"Next time, don't complain about your boss's decision in front of me, or else..."
"I know, I know. You are my boss after all."
Icecrown,
When Hua Jianming arrived, a stream of extremely concentrated flames from the mouth of the Charizard was shooting towards an Articuno...
Chapter 310 Zhuang Xian and His Articuno
Amidst the snow, Articuno dodged Charizard's fire attack with a nimble and graceful posture.
After avoiding the attack, Articuno flapped its icy wings to attract more snow, and Charizard also started a new round of attacks under the trainer's order.
The other Articunos on the ancient ice and snow tree did not seem to be in a hurry. They watched this battle of ice and fire quietly.
Hua Jianming did not stop the fight, but rode the ancient sword leopard to the ancient ice and snow tree and chose a suitable position to watch the fierce battle.
Zhuang Xian, who was also standing under the ancient tree of ice and snow, saw Hua Jianming coming. He first gave him an apologetic look, and then began to command the Charizard seriously.
The two sides fought back and forth until it was dark.
It can only be said that Pokémon under the command of a trainer can better exert their full strength than wild Pokémon.
Despite having the home advantage, Articuno was still defeated by Charizard commanded by Zhuang Xian.
Charizard and Articuno both landed.
Zhuang Xian took out a few energy cubes and threw them into Charizard's mouth, then rubbed its head: "Thank you for your hard work, Charizard."
Then he took out a few ice fruits and threw them to Articuno: "Thank you for your sparring, Articuno."
He had picked the ice and snow fruit from the ice and snow forest at the foot of the mountain before going up the mountain. Now he just happened to use it to offer a gift to someone else, and by the way, he plucked a handful of Articuno's cold feathers.
After calming down Charizard and Articuno, Zhuang Xian came to Hua Jianming and took out two energy bars from his pocket and gave one to Hua Jianming.
"I'm really sorry today, brother-in-law."
Hua Jianming waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, but he wanted to know the reason for the battle.
"I just happened to pass by this snowy mountain. I was so excited to see the prey that I wanted to fight such a powerful Articuno. I didn't expect the fight would take so long."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Hua Jianming was a little unconvinced.
"No other ideas?"
“This is actually possible.”
"No."
Seeing that Zhuang Xian was about to take action, Hua Jianming decisively refused.
After all, there are only a few such precious Articuno, how can I give it to others easily. Besides, since I have achieved financial freedom, my goal has become to collect all the Pokémon in the illustrated book, so there is no need to sell Articuno.
"I can exchange."
Zhuang Xian’s words made Hua Jianming curious, but he did not give up the initiative.
