Chapter 94: Empower Diancie! Flower Arranging Cultivation!

【Mission complete……Strengthening……Strengthening complete！】

【Ability】：Magic Mirror 1（Self continuously maintains magic reflection state, immune to reflected opponent's change moves, reflected opponent's special attack moves 20% damage；Reflected damage calculated using Diancie's Special Attack base stat）

Gaze lowered……

【Can be strengthened】

【Ability】：Magic Mirror 2（Self continuously maintains magic reflection state, immune to reflected opponent's change moves, reflected opponent's special attack moves 50% damage；Reflected damage calculated using Diancie's Special Attack base stat）

Ash never expected that, compared to the most basic version, the strengthened Magic Mirror actually gained a recoil effect.

Although it's only Special Attack recoil,

but it's already strong, after all, most ranged casting skills are Special Attack moves.

The recoil effect of the strengthened Magic Mirror allows Diancie to fully engage in battle while also gaining a bit more countermeasure against ranged foes.

More importantly, the Magic Mirror ability is Mega Diancie's ability, and the reflected damage calculation uses Mega Diancie's Special Attack base stat.

This point is especially obvious on the upgraded Magic Mirror 2.

50%, that is 0.5,

Mega Diancie's Special Attack base stat is 160, half of which is 80!

Using 80 as the Special Attack base stat to stack against the opponent's move, rather than the opponent's Special Attack base stat.

The benefit of this is,

Even if the opponents besieging Diancie are baby troops with Special Attack base stats only 20~40, the damage they deal is just a tiny bit.

But when reflected, the Special Attack base stat used in skill calculation has a minimum of 80, plus Diancie's level!

Especially when bullying kids,

this number will not just double, it will increase by a factor of a hundred million!

If strengthened again, this ratio will be raised to 100%!

At that time, using Diancie's 160 Special Attack for calculation, it will almost be equivalent to destroying heaven and earth, whoever provokes whoever dies,

perfectly illustrating what it means to not seek trouble and not die.

If you don't attack Diancie, it won't explode!

Overall, although there is no direct strengthening of the main body, it is a very suitable powerful countermeasure for Diancie, especially capable of unleashing explosive area damage in team fights as an anti-spellcaster.

Although it's still unclear how the third-stage multiplier will be,

but based on the currently foreseeable effects of the second stage, it has already made Ash look forward to it greatly.

Along with Diancie exiting Mega Evolution,

its ability also changes accordingly.

【Ability】：Eternal Pure Body 1（Cannot have stats lowered, 20% resistance to status conditions）

【Can be strengthened】

【Ability】：Eternal Pure Body 2（Cannot have stats lowered, 50% resistance to status conditions）

Resist status conditions.

If strengthened to level 3, the effect increases to 100% resistance.

Such as sleep, burn, paralysis, attraction, freeze, confusion, poison, …… and so on, all these statuses will be ineffective against Diancie.

Status-condition opponents seeing Diancie will directly pick up a bucket and run away.

Although it brings no numerical boost, in certain environments where status ailments are frequent, such as poison pools, fire scenes, power plants, Diancie will tread as if on flat ground.

Combined with Diancie's normally massive durability,

truly, go wherever you want.

However, although it's strong, this type of ability is still more suited for burst damage output, fragile-bodied speed attackers.

After all, only speed attackers fear being controlled and instantly killed,

Diancie's frailty, plus this level, Ash doubts whether even if the opponent controls Diancie they could break through its defense; it's still a question.

Two abilities: one grants immunity to status conditions, the other reflects magic damage,

None boosts skill multipliers, which results in Diancie being destined unsuitable as a siege breaker, single-targeting the enemy boss.

More suited to undertake the front-line tank's duty,

even without rear support, it alone can literally kill the enemy backline.

Especially when paired with the immensely suppressive Mewtwo, after weakening the opponent, Diancie's durability will rise another notch, and with the recoil calculated using Diancie's Special Attack, it is unaffected by the opponent's weakening.

One word: superb!

However, regarding just that battle, Ash also discovered Diancie's problem.

Diamond Storm isn't only for condensing holy diamonds; this usage is actually more suited for defense than offense.

A true Diamond Storm should condense countless tiny pink diamonds,

like a torrential rain launching a flood-like charge at the enemy, combined with diamond's ultra-high hardness, this is the correct way to unleash it.

Witness the super-large holy diamond disappear.

Ash stepped forward and told his idea to Diancie,

a flash of novelty crossed Diancie's face; she tried following Ash's words and easily accomplished it,

like a flood, the Diamond Storm controlled by Diancie surged toward the distant mountain, easily carving a huge cavity in the mountain.

This scene directly shocked everyone present,

"Such destructive power…"

"Unbelievable! Diancie's strength is actually this great?!"

Keerni gaped in disbelief, her gaze toward Diancie filled with incredulity.

Excited, she hurried forward,

Wearing roller skates, circling around Ash and Diancie, taking a careful look.

At the same time,

Having reached this point, Mei Pulu finally confirmed the guess in her Mind? She opened her mouth in astonishment,

"This Pokemon, could it be the legendary……?"

Facing the grandmother's astonished gaze, Ash nodded. "Indeed, Diancie is truly the legendary Mirage Pokemon!"

The opportunity was rare; even Mei Pulu, an octogenarian, was quite excited, and she earnestly asked Ash to let Diancie take a commemorative photo with them.

Ash did not refuse either,

After the photo, everyone returned to the villa.

Mei Pulu led everyone to a spacious classroom and pointed to the vases on several tables.

"I understand Keerni and Lucario's condition; from now on, what you need to do is flower arranging!"

"Flower arranging!?"

"Yes!" Facing everyone's astonished gaze, Mei Pulu smiled, "Go ahead and arrange to your heart's content, create a masterpiece that best suits your wishes, and Lucario should participate too!"

"I understand."

Keerni nodded excitedly; Ash and the others also showed great interest and participated, each taking the flowers they wanted from the flowerbed to assemble.

Afterward, Mei Pulu gave a professional critique of everyone's works.

Then came eating, followed by continuing the next flower arranging session.

A repetitive cycle.

It was like a scene of a young Shaolin monk carrying water and chopping wood to temper his mind in training.

Ash saw through it, yet he also endured and participated.

Quietly waiting for the right moment to arrive,

During this period,

Keerni and the others all felt extremely bored and weary, especially the daily flower arranging, which was also a torment to their aesthetic sense.

This caused everyone's designs to become increasingly simple, ultimately returning to simplicity.

Colloquially known as…… slacking off!

Serena and Yurie Clemont in this process simply endured endless suffering and torment.

On the contrary, Keerni, because she could see Ash every day in this process, actually felt pretty good.

Several days passed,

Keerni's and Lucario's dispositions grew increasingly calm, their control over Mega Evolution steadily improved, and the time of their rampages grew later and later.

During this period,

Aside from daily flower arranging, Ash was not idle.

Every day, during the flower-picking process, he would sneak out, release Mewtwo, and leave with it.

Going to a deserted, uninhabited island, he commanded Mewtwo to soundly thrash Yveltal.

After several days of incessant beatings,

Even the temperamental Y God eventually turned into a 'Psyduck', learning to contemplate bird life.

From then on,

Ash could not only easily keep an eye on the Y God, but could also direct it in battle.

However, enhancing its traits is out of the question.

After all, it was subdued by force; once it becomes strong, there's no guarantee it won't rebel, so we should wait until we spend more time together before saying more.

As the flower-arranging training gradually drew to a close,

Ash also arranged a huge surprise for Keerni, awaiting her and Lucario to transform from cocoon to butterfly, to leap like a fish over the dragon gate!
