Looking at the status screen, John crossed his arms and thought.
This was different from what he’d expected.
After Gardevoir achieved the throne, the Queen Domain she gained was almost identical to the previous Gardevoir Queen’s.
Similar to
Fairy Aura
, full of
Moonblast
energy.
And after Xerneas’s blessing, it had life-giving power.
This had made John think that after defeating a King, he’d gain the same domain.
However, the
Earth King Domain
effect described in Tyranitar’s panel had no
Earthquake
effect at all.
Moreover, the previous Tyranitar King hadn’t shown particularly powerful Sandstorm effects around it.
John had originally thought he’d be overwhelmed by Diancie, the legendary Rock-type Pokemon, but looking at the terrifying boosts from Tyranitar’s Earth King Domain...
"Probably not," John mused. He took out a Pokeball and threw it at the former Tyranitar King.
The powerless King was easily captured.
Opening its status panel for a closer look revealed a very ordinary profile, not Totem, not Shiny, and the "King" suffix had been transferred to John’s Tyranitar.
If he had to say something was special, it would be its individual values and ability. It was a 4IV Pokemon with 17 speed, and its ability wasn’t Sand Stream, but the hidden ability "Unnerve."
"Is the
King’s domain
effect related to their ability?" John couldn’t help but wonder.
But soon, John stopped thinking about it.
Either way, even knowing this wouldn’t change anything.
On the contrary, getting unknown domain effects each time he claimed a throne brought pleasant surprises and expectations.
Recalling Mega Tyranitar, John turned to look at Diancie.
She hadn’t left, but had watched the entire confrontation.
Her eyes were wide open and sparkling like diamonds, beautiful and adorable.
"My name is Diancie. Thank you for helping me fight off that Tyranitar,"
Diancie said, taking the initiative to introduce herself when she noticed John looking her way.
"Hello, I’m John. You’re welcome, I was lucky, and it happened to be my target anyway," John responded, then asked curiously, "Why were you fighting with that big guy?"
Although John couldn’t see Diancie’s level, judging from her battle with the Tyranitar King, she hadn’t grown to Xerneas’s level of power, but her combat ability was at least level 90 or above.
If Diancie had tried to flee, there was no way the Tyranitar King could have caught her.
"That Tyranitar was preying on my people, so I rose up to fight it,"
Diancie replied.
’People?’
John remembered that Diancie was a Carbink mutation, and the "people" she referred to were probably Carbink.
Pokemon like Carbink had unusual stat distributions, extremely high Defense and Special Defense, but mediocre in other areas. This often made them targets in the wild.
Especially when facing powerful Pokemon like Tyranitar and Steelix who liked to eat hard materials to make themselves tougher.
Being hunted was common for them.
"By the way, since your partner is also a Tyranitar, you should need this," Diancie suddenly remembered something and reached out to touch the earth. Soon a huge, crystal-clear diamond "grew" from the soil and fell into her hands.
Diancie handed the massive diamond directly to John.
"Just think of it as a return gift for helping me."
A diamond?
John took the huge diamond in amazement. The largest natural diamond discovered by humans shouldn’t be this big, right?
What was this thing for?
As a future wedding ring? Unless his wife was a giant, or could Gigantamax, she wouldn’t be able to wear it even if it were made into a ring.
John activated his Gameboy and checked the item’s properties out of curiosity.
[Crystal Diamond Core: A rare mineral essence that can only be found in diamond mines where "Diancie" was born. When consumed by Rock-type Pokemon, greatly increases Defense and Special Defense.]
Important item for Rock-types.
As for Tyranitar, who had always fed on rare ores, it had already jumped out of its Pokeball on its own, drooling and looking eagerly at the
Crystal Diamond Core
in John’s hand. But seeing that John hadn’t given permission to eat it yet, it looked at him with pitiful, affectionate eyes.
’John, I’m hungry, I’m hungry~’
John naturally welcomed such gifts. "Of course, thank you very much."
As the number one Rock-type Pokemon in his lineup, he could only give it to Tyranitar. It was fortunate he hadn’t brought Aggron today, or he would have faced a difficult choice.
After all, his Aggron could be called the "The Wall."
John found it amusing and casually tossed the
Crystal Diamond Core
to Tyranitar.
"Eat slowly and enjoy."
"By the way, do you have more of these?" John couldn’t help asking. If possible, he’d like to give Aggron one too.
"There’s only one large one, but there are some smaller pieces. Is that okay?"
If there were enough, it would be good to let both Tyranitar and Aggron have one.
Anyway, they were meant to be eated, just treats for Tyranitar and Aggron.
