Chapter 645

Under the healing of the Aura of Viridian, although Diancie and the others were still a bit wilted, they were much better than their previous severely injured state.

Steven observed their conditions one by one, especially when it was Diancie's turn; a unique brilliance flashed in Steven's eyes.

The intense gaze made Diancie shrink behind Su Hao in unease. Although it understood that Steven had saved them at the critical moment, Diancie felt uneasy under this gaze......

It was as if he were admiring something incredibly precious. A flush appeared on Steven's face, and his breathing even quickened.

Su Hao understood that this was Steven's fanatical stone-lover attribute taking effect. Seeing a Rock/Fairy-type Mythical Pokémon like Diancie, no stone lover would not be moved.

However, the upbringing of a young master still prevented Steven from making any rude actions, if one ignored his burning gaze.

A moment later, Steven coughed twice as if nothing had happened and said gently and elegantly, "I can feel that you and your Pokémon have a very deep bond."

Steven's gaze swept over Eevee, Riolu, Hisuian Braviary, Drakloak, Milotic, Incineroar, and Diancie, lingering on Diancie for a while longer.

A total of seven Pokémon, each raised very well.

The combat power displayed was impeccably strong. Based on the light of the moves he had seen twice at the foot of the mountain, they were actually able to withstand Lance's Elite-level Gengar and take down a Gym-level Crobat.

Perhaps, he was the person worth entrusting that he had been looking for.

Thinking of this, the idea in Steven's heart was completely confirmed.

He suddenly asked solemnly, "Su Hao, what do you think of Pokémon?"

"?" Su Hao didn't understand why Steven would ask this, but the answer came out immediately, "Partners, friends, family, existences that grow stronger together."

"Is that so." Steven smiled brightly and suddenly took out a shrunken white Premier Ball from his waist, "I want to ask you for a favor."

"？？？"

Su Hao couldn't keep up with Steven's rhythm and said blankly, "You say......"

"I want to entrust this child to you. This is one of the purposes of my coming to the Kanto region—to find a reliable Trainer for it."

Steven had examined many people before. Financial resources were not a problem, and not knowing training methods was fine; all of this was just a small effort for him.

He only had one requirement: both character and potential must be excellent.

Unfortunately, even though he thought his requirements were low enough, he still couldn't find a suitable candidate after searching bitterly.

This one's attitude toward Pokémon was too indifferent, that one's Trainer talent wasn't strong enough and would easily bury this child......

In the end, Steven saw the qualities that met all his requirements in Su Hao.

Steven tapped the Premier Ball, and with a flash of red light that dissipated, a silver-white Pokémon appeared in Su Hao's field of vision.

It seemed to know that Steven had found a suitable object for it, floating in the air and circling Su Hao, as if observing him.

Su Hao looked at Steven in a daze, then at the Shiny Beldum circling him.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Just a moment ago, he thought the Shiny Metagross was incredibly cool, and now Steven suddenly wanted to entrust this equally Shiny Beldum to him?

Is the heir to the Devon Corporation this generous? Giving away a Shiny pseudo-legendary just like that, without any warning.

"Bel-dum~"

A cold sound full of mechanical synthesis rang out, making Su Hao think that the system's voice was also along these lines.

I don't know if Su Hao's Aura of Viridian affinity passive worked, but the Beldum stuck to Su Hao's arm impatiently after observing him for a while.

The Beldum's silver-white metal body pressed against Su Hao's arm, and a chill came from the contact point, as if touching a piece of steel.

Su Hao tried to touch the Beldum with his hand. The other party not only didn't refuse, but its red eyes curved into crescents, showing ten, or even nine, parts of liking being petted.

"It seems my decision was correct. This child hasn't even been this close to me."

Steven

placed his right hand on his waist, his face filled with a gentle smile of having found the right person to entrust it to. If Su Hao were to snap a photo, he could probably sell it to his fans in the Hoenn region for a high price.

"This child, like my previous Metagross, was excluded by the hundreds of Beldum raised at home because of its different color. That's why I had the idea of finding a reliable Trainer for it."

Steven closed his eyes slightly, his tone light and slow, without any self-awareness that he was showing off his wealth.

Su Hao: "............"

Listen to that, is what Mr. Steven said human language?

At home, raising, hundreds of, Beldum?

This is no longer a matter of being generous; is your family wholesaling pseudo-legendaries?

A few black lines flashed across Su Hao's forehead. He was always showing off to others, but he didn't expect to be shown off to by Mr. Steven today.

However, the necessary stance still had to be taken.

Su Hao promised Steven solemnly, "I understand, I will treat it well."

"Then, I will leave this Premier Ball to you. This is a special Premier Ball made by the Devon Corporation, which has an effect almost identical to a Luxury Ball."
