Xia Chen Was Finally Going to Lose?

Although Diancie, the pampered princess of the Diamond Domain, had never battled since her birth, her own strength was still quite good.

In terms of energy intensity, she was roughly on par with Dragapult, with strength close to Elite Four level.

And as a Legendary Pokémon, Diancie's Base Stats in the games were also quite standard: the universal 600 for small Mythical Pokémon, comparable to many Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon.

Though... half of those 600 points were allocated to her dual defenses, making her a very typical specialist.

But that was actually fine. She could be treated as a less extreme, upgraded Shuckle.

What Xia Chen was most worried about was that Diancie had no battle experience.

Not even the slightest bit.

When the Carbink guards who had accompanied Diancie heard that their noble princess intended to enter the battlefield herself, they were horrified and practically wished they could fight in her place.

Unfortunately, Diancie had made up her mind. No matter what they said, she wanted to experience a battle, so the Carbink had no choice but to give up.

Xia Chen, who was responsible for commanding her, was troubled.

Diancie's first battle had to become a good memory for her.

But they had no coordination, no experience, and Steven was no pushover either.

Besides, Diancie had never undergone his training.

Most importantly, Rock and Fairy type was four times weak to the Steel type Steven specialized in!

Forget winning—even losing gracefully would not be easy.

So what tactic could give Diancie a chance against Steven's Steel-type Pokémon?

Xia Chen thought about it. The only thing he could use was the information gap.

After all, Diancie was a completely new opponent and a new Pokémon to Steven.

Meanwhile, Xia Chen had data from the games in his past life and knew
