Reborn Pokémon: My childhood sweetheart is Xiaoguang.

Chapter 656 Xiaoguang challenges Mikoli, information about the new tournament!

"Master Mikkelsen, hello!"

Xiao Guang quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.

Xiaoyun then stood up as a way of greeting him.

After all, he's not a mediator, and he doesn't have that much of a fan bias towards Mikoli.

"It's been a long time, everyone."

Michael smiled in response, his gaze sweeping gently over everyone, lingering a moment longer on Haruka and Shun:

"Xiaoyao, Xiaoshun, I've been following your matches, and you've made great progress recently."

He frequently travels to various city grand tournaments, and May and Shun are undoubtedly the two most outstanding in Hoenn.

There were also two people on Sinnoh's side: one was Dawn, who was standing in front of us, and the other was a girl named Nozomi.

"Thank you, Master Michaeli."

Haruka and Shun repeatedly expressed their gratitude for being recognized by Master Michael.

"You're still the most popular,"

Daigo, feigning a mournful expression, shrugged and said in a teasing tone:

"When I stand next to you, I'm completely ignored. It seems that I, the former champion, am already past my prime."

Fortunately, Shinji wasn't here, otherwise Daigo's champion filter would have been reduced even more, shattering into pieces.

"Hey! It's Mr. Daigo!"

Haruka and Shun then realized what was happening and quickly greeted Daigo again, their faces filled with apology and even more respect.

This is the hero who just protected Hoenn during the disaster, and also their former champion. He is extremely powerful and has a very high status.

"Haha, it seems I haven't been completely forgotten."

Daigo smiled with satisfaction and casually pulled out a chair:

"You don't mind if we come together, do you? We just finished some follow-up work and we're quite hungry."

"Of course I don't mind."

The group quickly replied.

The addition of the two champions instantly elevated the scale of the dinner.

As everyone ate and chatted, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

Daigo and Michael, these two old friends, would often tease and banter with each other.

for example.......

Daigo, cutting his steak, said, "Michael, did you design a new look for your appearance this time? Is it a new haute couture style?"

Michael took an elegant sip of tea: "Art originates from life, but also transcends it. Unlike some people who wear suits all year round; people who don't know them might think they're insurance salesmen."

Daigo straightened his tie slightly: "I'm being professional and reliable! It's better than some people treating the battle arena like their personal fashion show."

Mikoli raised an eyebrow: "So what? At least my fashion shows are pleasing to the eye, while your professionalism only makes people want to doze off."

Watching these two top figures from the Hoenn region bicker like children, Xiaoyun was going crazy with excitement.

This banter, this perfect chemistry in responding to jokes... Don't you two ever consider teaming up to make a short drama?

He's already thought of a title: "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with a Top Artist" or "About My Champion Friend Being My Nemesis"—it's guaranteed to be a hit!

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

In a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, Xiao Guang watched Mikoli chatting and laughing with everyone, and his eyes gradually became firm, as if he had made up his mind.

She suddenly stood up, faced Mikoli, and solemnly said:

"Master Mikuri, I challenge you! A battle of Grand Contest standard!"

The moment these words were spoken, the table fell silent.

Haruka and Shun looked at Hikari in surprise, never expecting her to have the courage to challenge the champion directly!

Girl, you're very brave!

Xiaoyun gave her an encouraging look.

Absolutely! His son is bold and decisive!

Mikkel didn't seem surprised. He put down his teacup, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

He had long seen the resentment and yearning for a higher realm in the girl's eyes.

"I accept the challenge."

Mikoli stood up with a smile, her movements still elegant.

"And I'm also very curious to know what kind of dazzling brilliance you've displayed after being tempered by the regional conference."

Daigo, standing nearby, immediately began to fan the flames, nudging Michael with his elbow and grinning maliciously:

"Someone should be careful; these young people these days are something else. Don't let them accidentally cause a disaster."

"Shocking! Champion Mikkuri is defeated by a young girl; the ceiling of the Hoenn Contests has collapsed!"

"Ahem, as long as a certain former champion doesn't cause trouble on the sidelines, I believe this match will be very exciting."

Mikoli rolled her eyes at her friend, who was quite eloquent; he could practically apply for a job at Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform).

He looked at Xiaoguang, his tone softening again:

"Let's go to the battlefield."

The public arena in Kanaz City has now become a temporary, magnificent stage.

The news that Master Mikkuri was going to accept a challenge from a young girl spread like wildfire, and soon many trainers who had heard the news gathered around the arena.

Mikuri stood gracefully on the command platform and gently tossed a Poké Ball:

"Show your elegance, Milotic!"

A flash of light appeared, and a Milotic with dazzling scales and a graceful posture appeared in the arena.

Its slender body swayed slightly, its scales reflecting a dreamlike luster.

It truly deserves to be called the most beautiful Pokémon; its very existence is a testament to beauty.

Looking at the opponent's almost flawless Milotic, Xiao Guang pondered for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Tianci, I'm begging you again!"

"Okay, okay!"

With a crisp response, little Diamond Princess Diancie lightly leaped into the arena.

The pink diamond on its head sparkled brilliantly, pure and dazzling.

"Diamond Princess Diancie... her beauty is truly undeniable."

A genuine admiration flashed in Mikoli's eyes.

The Hoenn battle was being broadcast live, so he naturally recognized this legendary Pokémon.

Seeing it with your own eyes allows you to better appreciate the brilliance and nobility that comes from the essence of life.

Haruka and Shun in the audience also held their breath.

Xiaoyao murmured:

"Is this Diancie? She's so beautiful..."

As a coordinator, she could better appreciate the innate charm of Diancie, a quality that was different from anything acquired through training.

Although Xiao Shun didn't say anything, his eyes, which were fixed on the field, betrayed the shock he felt.

A mythical Pokémon, and one that perfectly complements Diancie's elegance... This battle...

For a moment, he didn't know how it would end.

"The battle begins!"

Daigo, who was temporarily acting as referee, announced loudly.

"Diancie, Diamond Storm!"

Xiao Guang launched the first attack.

She chose to start with Diancie's most dazzling move, which was both an attack and a declaration!

"Hey!"

With a push of her hands forward, countless diamond crystals gleaming with sharp light appeared out of thin air.

Like being swept up by a whirlwind, it transformed into a dazzling yet dangerous torrent of diamonds, sweeping towards Milotic!

It was radiant and extremely dazzling!

Mikoli remained calm and composed, her voice still steady:

"Milotic, with a mesmerizing voice, then with a water jet!"

"Mmm~"

Milotic let out an ethereal and enchanting cry, and invisible sound waves spread out.

The sound not only had a disruptive effect, but also possessed the magic to soothe the restlessness, making the raging diamond storm seem to freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Milotic's tail, covered in dazzling scales, gracefully rose and became entangled in the clear water.

Like a top dancer waving her flowing sleeves, she precisely and gently swept across the flying diamonds!

Wow——!

The water flow did not forcibly shatter the diamond, but instead used a skillful and precise force and control to lift up most of it.

And with the help of the water's rotation, these diamonds swirled around Minas!

Under the sunlight, the diamonds enveloped by the water refract an even more dreamlike and enchanting brilliance, as if draping Minas Gerais in a flowing diamond galaxy!

It integrates offense and defense, turning the enemy's moves into its own.

Turning a crisis into a perfect opportunity to showcase your charm! That's the power of a top-tier mediator!

"That's...that's amazing!"

Xiaoyao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Xiao Shun clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with shock.

This ability to elevate battle into an art form is precisely the level they strive for.

Hikari was also amazed by Mikoli's brilliant response, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Dianci, don't be fooled! Use the spell Radiance!"

"Come again!"

The diamond atop Diancie's head burst forth with dazzling light, and a solid pink beam of light shot out, piercing through the magnificent diamond galaxy and heading straight for Milotic!

"Mirror reflection."

Mikkel gave the order calmly, at the perfect moment.

"Woo!"

A smooth, mirror-like barrier of water energy instantly materialized in front of Milotic!

The beam of light struck the mirror, and most of the energy was reflected back along the same path, with even greater power!

"Hold on!"

Xiao Guang hurriedly called out.

A green protective shield appeared in front of Diancie, barely blocking the reflected magical flash.

But the force of the explosion still forced it back a few steps, and a strained expression appeared on its face.

The situation seemed to be completely under Mikoli's control.

In its normal state, Diancie, despite being a mythical Pokémon, is indeed difficult to inflict effective damage against Mikuri's superb and gorgeous skills and Milotic's powerful strength.

Milotic even used the Water Ring to continuously recover its strength, appearing to be in complete control.

Xiao Guang pursed her lips tightly; she knew she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Diancie!"

She shouted and met Diancie's gaze in the arena; both of their eyes shone with unwavering determination.

"Let everyone see our true strength!"

"Ok!"

Diancie nodded heavily, placing her hands clasped on the diamond on her chest.

Mega Evolution!

An even more dazzling and holy light of evolution erupted, completely enveloping Diancie!

The skirt became more ornate and elaborate, and the pink diamond on her head became pure and flawless, radiating a mesmerizing brilliance!

Mega Diancie!

The moment the evolution was complete, a powerful energy wave spread out from Diancie, and even Milotic subconsciously squinted its eyes.

"This is Diancie after her super evolution."

Michael's relaxed expression finally faded, replaced by boundless admiration:

"It's so beautiful! This exquisite brilliance is enough to move anyone's heart!"

"Tianci! Let Master Mikuri witness our full power!"

Xiao Guang's voice suddenly rose in pitch:

"Diamond Storm - Full Power!"

"what!"

Mega Diancie hovered in mid-air, her arms outstretched, and a terrifying storm, several times larger and more dazzling than before, instantly formed!
