Chapter 1227: Rest

The seventh day since Diancie entered the Sacred Diamond to receive the inheritance.

Carbink Guard captain A-Yi brought Su Hao to the front of the house where it lived—

It was a stone hut with very distinctive features, about two point two or three meters high, and only three or four meters wide.

To be honest, it was very small.

Compared to the vast land of the Ore Kingdom, this was really just a slightly larger stone.

As if seeing Su Hao's confusion, A-Yi explained with a smile: "For us, this size is just right. It is neither narrow and difficult to move, nor wide and unsettling."

"We prefer this kind of space that can bring a sense of security."

Su Hao nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, from his perspective, the space was small, but for the Carbink, it was very suitable.

However, the first problem also came.

That was—he couldn't get through the door.

Looking at the pocket-sized door in front of him that was a circle larger than A-Yi, Su Hao was rarely a bit distressed.

A-Yi also discovered this problem and was very embarrassed.

Question: A distinguished guest has come to the house, but the door is not even half the size of the guest. What should be done?

And at this time, Xiao Qi's boisterous voice came from the house.

"Brother A-Yi, you are finally back. Has that old guy, the Diamond Minister, not lifted my confinement order yet?"

"Eh, is there someone else with you? Wow! Is this Su Hao? Come into the house quickly to play with Xiao Qi!"

"Marshadow didn't come, right? No, please don't let it appear before my eyes!"

A-Yi was even more embarrassed.

Su Hao: "..."

Giving a few awkward laughs, Su Hao looked around. As the captain of the Carbink Guard, the place where A-Yi lived was actually quite good, like a villa area.

This was the suburbs of the Ore Kingdom, with vast terrain. He couldn't see where the edge of the secret realm extended for a while. Not far from A-Yi's residence, there was a dense forest.

After discovering the forest, an idea emerged in Su Hao's mind.

How long it would take for Diancie to complete the inheritance was still unknown. Why not... use the wood resources of that forest to build a small wooden house and be neighbors with A-Yi and the others for a while.

However, before that...

Su Hao held eight shrunken Poké Balls between his fingers and threw them out at the same time: "Everyone, it's time to come out and work!"

Under Su Hao's coordination, each Pokémon worked together to build a wooden house belonging to Su Hao and them.

The forest group was responsible for Cyclizar and Metagross, two Pokémon that were already full of brute force. Their duty was to pull up suitable trees by the roots with their power.

The sound of huge trees crashing down could be heard clearly even at A-Yi's hut, and many Carbink even ran over specifically to watch curiously what Su Hao and the others were doing.

Cyclizar originally had quite a few complaints about working, but under the lure of the delicious food Su Hao painted, it broke its defense in a second and worked harder than anyone else.

BOOM!!

Cyclizar punched through a tree trunk as thick as several people's embrace again. As the leaves fell rustlingly, Cyclizar threw it directly to Lucario, who had been waiting for a long time, with a calm face.

Lucario, who had gradually become accustomed to Cyclizar's monstrous strength, nodded slightly, activated Teleport, and flashed toward the destination quickly.

On the other side, Metagross also tore off the tree trunk with monstrous strength, then dragged the tree trunk with telekinesis to hand it over to Hisuian Braviary, who was on standby in the air, for transportation by air.

The transported tree trunks would be processed more finely by Milotic and Leafeon, who were on standby on the other side.

Leafeon used sharp sword Qi to shave off the bark, then cut it to a suitable size, and Milotic controlled the water flow to wash the wood to clean off the dust and dirt on it.

Finally, the clean wood came to the hands of Su Hao, Incineroar, and Zeraora. Relying on the sharp claws of the two cats, they performed detailed processing and began to build at the same time.

With concerted efforts, it only took one day to build a spacious wooden house large enough for Su Hao and several Pokémon to enter.

The wooden house was very large, and it wouldn't

feel crowded even if seven Pokémon and Su Hao entered together. As for Hisuian Braviary, which was a circle larger than everyone else, Su Hao also specifically built a terrace for it, allowing it to tuck its wings and stay on it.

A-Yi, who was invited by Su Hao to be a guest, stood in front of the wooden house with an amazed expression: "It only took one day to build such a large house. You are all so amazing!"

"It's not just my own credit. Cyclizar and Metagross who pulled the trees, Lucario and Hisuian Braviary who transported them, Milotic and Leafeon who performed preliminary processing, and Incineroar and Zeraora who helped me complete the construction—it was only with everyone's power that the construction was completed."

Su Hao's gaze fell on the Pokémon in the house, his voice soft. He was very glad that he had met these partners.

A-Yi nodded half-understandingly. Just as it wanted to say something, Su Hao suddenly said: "By the way, are you not letting Xiao Qi into the house?"

Xiao Qi's Aura was clearly outside the door. Since A-Yi brought it over, why not enter the house?

Xiao Qi, who had snuck out and was eavesdropping outside the door, stiffened, followed by the roar of A-Yi, who had turned from stunned to angry.

"Xiao Qi!!!"

Xiao Qi, who had been caught red-handed, said stubbornly under A-Yi's angry glare: "Anyway, that old guy, the Diamond Minister, is old and has inconvenient legs and feet. How would he know if I snuck out of the house?"

A-Yi, who was furious, said seriously: "Rules are rules. If you keep being so slack..."

Seeing that A-Yi was about to start a long-winded lecture again, Xiao Qi stuck out its tongue and made a face, saying: "Not listening, not listening, I can't hear you talking!"

As it finished speaking, as if to escape A-Yi's lecture, Xiao Qi slipped back into the stone hut, leaving A-Yi, who was flushed with anger by its unreliable sister, to sulk there.

Su Hao, who had watched a good show, smiled and patted A-Yi, saying: "A-Yi, can I ask you for a favor?"

A-Yi originally wanted to apologize to Su Hao that its sister was too jumpy, but didn't expect Su Hao to suddenly ask it for help.

A-Yi immediately stood straight, held its head high and chest out, and said: "Her Majesty the Queen said, to fulfill any request of Lord Su Hao, I am very happy to help!"

Su Hao helplessly touched its head: "Just call me Su Hao. Adding 'Lord' always feels a bit strange. But before that, everyone has been busy all day and is tired. I plan to make something delicious to reward them. What do you usually eat?"

"Minerals, and some gems..." A-Yi replied blankly.

Su Hao nodded knowingly: "Okay, then just wait to eat a big meal. I'll do it myself tonight!"
