After a while, Avignon Town.
Diamond Princess Diancie's appearance and style can be called the center of attention when walking, and the number of people turning heads is immediately high.
Passers-by looked sideways, but due to the aura of Xiaoyun, no one dared to disturb him for the time being.
With the blessing of Steven's banknote ability, everyone enjoyed a deluxe version of delicious lunch.
Looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, Dawn couldn't help but complain in a low voice:
"Is this the legendary inhumanity?"
How could such a small town come up with so many things?
Steven wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully and said with a smile:
"It's not worth the expense to allow Her Royal Highness the Princess to taste the delicacies of the human world."
People who work hard are the souls of food, and delicious food can always bring us closer inadvertently.
After the meal, Diancie also explained the desperate situation faced by himself and the mining country, and the purpose of going to the Forbidden Forest to find Xerneas.
Because of the power Xiaoyun, Steven and Paul showed just now, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
The strength of our three bodyguards is really... inferior.
If we can get their help, the possibility of finding Xerneas should be much greater.
"For the safety of the kingdom, we must find Xerneas within three days, otherwise... otherwise everyone at Diamond Domain will..."
Diancie's voice was choked with sobs, and her jewel-like eyes were filled with tears.
Xiaoyun and Dawn looked at each other.
In this situation, I feel like my conscience will hurt if I don't help.
Paul showed a thoughtful expression,
Xerneas, God of Life, this is indeed a very challenging goal.
Steven did not hesitate and expressed his position immediately:
"In this case, please allow us to help the princess on her journey to find Xerneas. Whether it is for morality or... anything else, we cannot just sit idly by!"
"But Mr. Steven, over there Hoenn..."
Paul is trying to remind Steven whether you forgot something.
Before he could finish speaking, Steven raised his hand directly
"Hey! Paul, don't mention these mundane things in front of the princess, and you have been researching for so long with no results, so it's not bad for a day or two."
Steven is already on top, if you let go of the ancient emperor, he would definitely be a fool.
"Uh... okay..."
Paul opened his mouth, and he chose to give up the struggle for love.
You are noble, you are amazing, everyone loves you!
"That is to say, you are being Pursuit ed by the same group of people just now, and the target is the princess?"
Xiaoyun summarized the current situation.
The Z2 in his backpack rolled its eyes silently.
Human beings are still those greedy guys.
"Yes, that woman named Marilyn has always wanted to capture Her Highness the Princess and coveted Her Highness's ability to make diamonds."
Guard Dace replied.
As soon as it finished speaking, Steven started clapping the case angrily:
"It's so abominable! It's simply unforgivable! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let that woman go!"
The three guards were dumbfounded.
No, you are the guard and we are the guard. Why do you play so much?
Dawn nodded and held Diancie's little hand. "It's okay! We will help you find Xerneas and save the mining country!"
The girl's sense of justice was overwhelming at this time. Dawn was OK, and Xiaoyun was naturally fine.
Steven doesn't even need to ask, he probably won't even leave now if he wants to drive him away.
Finally, Xiaoyun looked at Paul.
Man, what do you think?
Me? I sat there and watched. You all have discussed it. Is there any point in my objection?
Paul glanced at him, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "The legendary Life Pokémon... is worth seeing. Besides, the battle just now was not enough."
Well, this is a very Paul-like speech, so arrogant and strange.
Xiaoyun smiled, knowing that this was Paul's way of expressing agreement.
He turned to Diancie and said seriously, "Don't worry Diancie, we will walk the next road together. We will definitely help you find Xerneas within three days!"
Looking at these strange but powerful and kind-hearted humans, Diancie felt a long-lost warmth in his heart. "Thank you very much!"
Steven: I will transfer money to you, let me say this!
As a result, the four people with different purposes formed a temporary team with the princess from the underground and her entourage, and headed towards the forbidden Forest of Eternity.
In the darkness, except for Marilyn and Riot who were running away in embarrassment.
High in the sky, inside an invisible aircraft, the figures of Xiaoyun were clearly reflected in front of the monitor.
"Oh? Are there a few more bodyguards? But... it's more interesting this way, isn't it?"
After making the decision to help Diancie find Xerneas, everyone with their goals clear was refreshed and ready to go.
Leave the hotel and stroll through the streets of the town.
Although the town they arrived in was not a large city, it was extremely prosperous because it was located at the intersection of several commercial roads.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, selling a variety of products from daily necessities to exotic treasures.
Diancie, who lives in an underground mine every day, has never seen this scene before. Those jewel-like eyes looked left and right, his eyes lingering on the exquisite clothes and sparkling Illuminate accessories.
"It's much brighter and noisier here..."
Diancie has a hint of timidity as a newcomer, but more of an uncontrollable curiosity.
"Are so many humans and Pokémon gathering together just to exchange items?"
Seeing Diancie exploring the world like a newborn baby, Dawn's nature as a girl was completely stimulated, and she unconsciously showed her aunt's smile:
"Yes, Diancie, this is a town. Everyone will buy what they need and like here. Many girls like to go shopping here. Do you want us to go shopping too?"
"Shopping! Can I?"
Diancie's eyes were bright, but then he showed a trace of hesitation and pointed with two fingers:
"I... Isn't it good for me to go out and play now? After all, we have business..."
It remembered the heavy responsibility it shouldered. Now going out to play, isn't it a bit... not doing its job properly?
Seeing this, Dawn immediately stepped forward and took Diancie's hand, smiling, "Of course! Remember, girls don't need a reason to go shopping! Let's go, let me experience the joy of shopping with you today!"
"Your Highness, please wait for us!"
The three elites immediately followed nervously, their chubby bodies looking a little clumsy, looking both loyal and a little pitiful.
"Haha, relax, it's safe here."
Xiaoyun smiled and calmed the nervous elites, and then said to Diancie and Dawn: "Don't worry, go shopping, we will follow behind."
"Hmm."
Dawn smiled and nodded, walking in front with Diancie who was equally excited.
Steven behind him murmured to himself.
"This... this is so perfect! Princess Diancie is in this market full of fireworks, and its flawless brilliance can form a harmonious contrast with the complicated world!"
Dawn looked at Steven and couldn't help but get close to Xiaoyun and whisper in his ear, "I know how terrible Mr. Steven's hobby is, it is even more destructive than Metagross."
Xiaoyun responded with a chuckle, "Look on the bright side, at least Diancie's safety is guaranteed."
Steven is a champion no matter what. If he is not a nymphomaniac, his aura is enough to deter some people with evil intentions.
Oh, what a damn sense of security.
Paul walked at the end, with his hands in his pockets, as if the hustle and bustle around him were in two completely different worlds.
"These guys... really think they are out to play."
He obviously had no interest in things like shopping and shopping. He scanned the environment and subconsciously assessed potential dangers.
Under the guidance of Dawn, the group walked into a clothing store that looked quite elegant.
The store displays various styles of clothing, from convenient travel clothes to slightly more formal dresses.
The shop owner is a discerning lady. Although she was surprised when she saw Diancie, her good professionalism allowed her to quickly stay calm and provide services enthusiastically.
"Diancie, what do you think of this skirt? The color matches you very well!"
Dawn picked up a light pink chiffon dress, the skirt was dotted with tiny crystals.
Diancie lightly touched the fabric of Limber and felt a completely different texture from its own.
"Very light... soft."
"Then let's try it! Come on, I'll take you to the fitting room!"
Dawn enthusiastically acted as a fashion consultant.
Diancie chose a light purple suspender dress with a cross strap design on the back. Limber's fabric fit her inhuman body and the skirt was elegant.
It floated to the dressing mirror and looked at itself in the mirror, which was completely different from usual, with a trace of joy shining in its eyes.
"This feeling... is amazing."
"So beautiful, Diancie! You look like a real princess now, no, you were a princess originally."
Dawn admires it sincerely.
"Indeed... unparalleled!"
Steven answered immediately, folding his hands on his chest, trying hard to maintain the last bit of gentlemanly demeanor.
"The color of lavender perfectly neutralizes your dazzle, forming a wonderful layer with the brilliance of your body, making it look more friendly."
You're a rich man, and you praise people for being so good at talking.
Xiaoyun Listening to Steven's professional comments, he instantly gave up his plan to organize his own words and gave a thumbs up with a smile:
"Man! This is youth!"
Encouraged by Diancie's success in dressing up, Dawn himself started making selections with great interest.
She settled on an outfit more suitable for traveling:
A pair of wear-resistant khaki cargo trousers, a breathable light green short jacket, and a white T-shirt underneath.
She also tried on a handsome brown adventure hat. The brim of the hat was slightly raised on one side, making her look energetic and cute.
After changing clothes, Dawn walked out of the fitting room and made a handsome gesture of drawing a gun:
"How's it going? Doesn't it look more professional for you to go on an adventure?"
"He's very handsome! He's cool and sassy. He's very suitable for the next adventure in the forest. He'll be ready to debut in the next second."
Xiaoyun's eyes lit up and he immediately praised.
The beauties in uniforms also rank very high!
"Hehe, I also think it would be too inconvenient to wear skirts all the time when traveling and hiking, but I feel more comfortable like this."
Dawn turned around in front of the mirror, very satisfied with his new image.
Steven still uses his language talent:
"Clean cut, functional and beautiful, a very practical choice."
Even Paul, who had been silent, his eyes stayed on Dawn's new outfit for a slightly longer moment.
For Paul, this kind of dressing that focuses on practicality and efficiency is obviously more in line with his "strength first" aesthetic than gorgeous skirts.
Then, Dawn enthusiastically helped Diancie try other styles of clothing.
A royal blue velvet halterneck dress highlights the elegance of Diancie's upper body, which is similar to that of a human girl.
A goose yellow retro shirt with exquisite lace, paired with a simple white lace skirt, makes Diancie look fresh and cute.
Every time I change my clothes, I get Dawn's sincere admiration and Steven's professional (and fanatical) comments.
And Xiaoyun is a simple and... simple compliment.
Diancie was shy at the beginning, but gradually became enjoying it, with her eyes shining with the brilliance of a girl she had never seen before.
This small fitting room seems to have become a Mew space that is dangerously isolated from the outside world.
There is no fighting, no conspiracy here, just a warm atmosphere of sharing happiness.
Dawn and Diancie, one is a human girl and the other is Diamond Princess,
In this short period of time, a subtle but strong friendship was established through buying, buying and trying.
In the backpack carried by Xiaoyun, Z2 stuck his head out and watched everything happening outside.
It saw Diancie, which was also the legendary Mythical Pokémon from Kalos Region, interacting so closely and peacefully with humans.
See Xiaoyun's unpretentious and sincere treatment.
I heard Steven's enthusiastic praise but always maintaining a respectful distance.
I feel Paul's seemingly indifferent but actually ubiquitous vigilance.
I also sense the rapidly growing female friendship between Diancie and Dawn.
Even the three "iron and naive" Carbink guards are trying to adapt to the human environment.
Frisk felt a slight fluctuation in his consciousness.
"I wonder if the human being you have chosen is as full of laughter without grudges as you are in front of me.
Perhaps, this is the reason why you choose to believe them...
After wandering around for a long time, a few people came to a cozy open-air dessert shop to rest.
The sun shines through the colorful awnings, casting colorful light and shadow on the white wrought iron tables and chairs.
Dawn ordered the signature Berry parfait, Xiaoyun ordered ice cream, and Steven chose hand-brewed coffee.
Paul still only wants water.
As for Diancie and the guards, they have developed a keen interest in the diamond crystal jelly, which is like a work of art.
Sit in the comfortable seats and enjoy the leisurely afternoon, the atmosphere is warm and harmonious.
Diancie carefully tasted the elastic texture of the jelly and showed a happy smile:
"I saw a lot of beautiful things today and felt everyone's thoughts. Thank you."
Her eyes looked at Dawn, Xiaoyun and Steven in turn, with sincere gratitude.
Even Paul, she cast a friendly look,
Although the latter just tilted his head slightly and did not respond.
Steven picked up the coffee cup elegantly and smiled, "This is my honor."
Dawn said with a smile, "We are also very happy. Being able to go shopping with you is like hanging out with good friends."
Xiaoyun added, "Yes, and everyone bought practical things, which can be regarded as replenishment and relaxation."
Paul Although he didn't speak, his body couldn't help but relax in this relaxing atmosphere.
