Chapter 479

As for the other side, Diantha clearly didn't expect that she would just guest star in the Pokémon Showcase, but it would cause such a big storm.

But even if she knew, Diantha probably wouldn't care too much, because she is also very busy now.

What she said to Ash before was not simple flattery, but really very grateful to the other party.

Because in that Pokémon duel with Ash, Diantha understood that she had never been able to exert Shengzai's strength to the maximum extent.

Mega Evolution is only secondary; Shengzai's biggest advantage compared to other Pokémon is the conversion and matching between attributes.

In that battle dueling with Ash and Greninja, this point has been fully demonstrated.

Diantha has seen the strength of Ash and his Greninja.

It can be said like this, Gardevoir, which hasn't evolved Mega Evolution, couldn't even do it if it wanted to defeat them.

And Shengzai, in that Pokémon duel, didn't even use Mega Evolution, and just relied on the attribute coordination of Vaporeon and Jolteon to easily defeat the other party.

Originally, in terms of "Attribute Coordination Tactics," Diantha had more ideas. After all, Shengzai has eight evolutionary forms. If attributes are matched with each other, there are at least a hundred combinations.

It's a pity that Greninja's strength was too weak at the time, and she had just wanted to verify other tactics when the other party had already lost its fighting ability.

But after such an idea popped up in Diantha's heart, it was like weeds, making her unable to calm down at all.

To verify her ideas and tactics, she needs some trainers with good strength to act as opponents.

But events like the "Masters Eight" have fixed holding times, and it is also very difficult to encounter wild trainer masters usually.

Challenging League Champions in other regions is actually not impossible, but in fact, ordinary League Champions rarely leave the area they are responsible for.

And provoking others at will is also very easy to cause disputes between two regions.

So Diantha, who was troubled by this, only learned after some understanding that there is actually a place called "Battle Chateau" in the Kalos region.

The so-called "Battle Chateau" is a Pokémon duel method designed with Western medieval knight duels as a template.

Pokémon trainers dueling here, as long as they obtain a certain number of consecutive wins, can obtain corresponding titles like medieval knights.

The titles from low to high are Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquis, Duke, and Grand Duke, six levels.

Once a title is obtained, the Battle Chateau will also issue corresponding colored capes to the trainers.

And there are maids and butlers in the Battle Chateau. Trainers who obtain titles there can receive different levels of hospitality, which greatly satisfies the vanity of many trainers.

It is also because of this that a large number of trainers will often gather at the Battle Chateau, including Gym Leaders Viola, Grant, and even one of the Kalos Elite Four, Drasna.

When Diantha sat in a helicopter and gracefully descended from the helicopter along a rope to the Battle Chateau, the trainers gathered here were all stunned.

However, according to the rules of the "Battle Chateau," there is no distinction between League Champions, Elite Four, and Gym Leaders here.

Coming to the Battle Chateau for the first time and having no record, Diantha is not even a "Baron."

Although the maid of the Battle Chateau knows that Diantha is a League Champion, because of the rules of the Battle Chateau, she also couldn't agree to Diantha's request to duel with those "Battle Dukes."

"So you mean if I want to challenge a Battle Duke, I have to be at the same level as them?"

"I'm very sorry, it is indeed like this."

Facing the maid's apology, Diantha waved her hand to indicate that the other party didn't need to care, and then she also continued: "Since that's the case, trouble you to help me register. I want to have a Pokémon duel now."

According to the rules of the Battle Chateau, when someone applies for a Pokémon duel, they will be arranged to the duel field in the center of the Battle Chateau.

And other trainers in the Battle Chateau can watch the battle through the observation deck upstairs.

Diantha has no title in the Battle Chateau now, so the trainer she matched with is also a newcomer who just came to the Battle Chateau.

"I didn't see it wrong, right? That is Ms. Diantha!"

"Ms. Diantha actually came to the Battle Chateau too. Looking at it this way, the Battle Chateau will soon have an extra female Grand Duke."

When Diantha and another trainer stepped onto the duel platform of the Battle Chateau, all the trainers at the scene were stunned when they saw Diantha's figure.

And this also includes Diantha's duel opponent, a plain-looking Kalos Pokémon trainer.

Regarding the Battle Chateau, he actually came here for its reputation, and he was also quite confident in his own strength, believing that he could very easily reach at least the title of "Battle Viscount."

But what he never expected was that he had only come to the Battle Chateau for the first time, and he encountered a super BOSS.

"Then now, the Pokémon duel between Ms. Diantha and Mr. Luke is underway. The winner of this duel will be able to obtain the title of 'Battle Baron'."

"Are both sides ready?"

Although the other party is a League Champion, the trainer named Luke didn't flinch because of this.

He is also a Pokémon trainer who has collected eight badges. Such an opportunity to compete with a League Champion is not common.

"Go, Aggron! The opponent is a League Champion, don't take it lightly."

"No way, it's actually Ms. Diantha. As a League Champion and popular actress, doesn't she always complain about being too busy to have any private time?"

"Why does she have time to come to the Battle Chateau this time, and the Pokémon she sent... is it Eevee?"

The number of "Battle Dukes" in the Battle Chateau is actually not large, and because of busy official business, Gym Leaders and Elite Four are actually quite busy.

But coincidentally, Gym Leaders Viola, Grant, and Dragon-type Elite Four Drasna all appeared here today.

Whether it is Gym Leaders, Elite Four, or Champions, they are all affiliated with the Pokémon League.

Viola and Drasna not only are colleagues with Diantha but also know each other privately.

Diantha appearing in Anistar City Pokémon Showcase with Shengzai happened not long ago, so many people in other towns didn't know the news yet.

So Viola and Drasna and the others now also thought that the Pokémon Diantha sent to the stage was the Pokémon she had just captured, and coming to the Battle Chateau was just to train this Eevee.

Diantha's ace Pokémon is Gardevoir, which is not a secret to people in the Kalos League, and now Diantha didn't let Gardevoir appear, so Viola and others naturally also thought that the current duel was not yet the time for the ace to appear.
