Haiyi City,
Li Wei and Steven left Lumiose City, traveling northwest until they arrived at Haiyi City.
"Ding! Rare Pokemon detected in your current city."
"Type: Legendary Pokemon"
"Rarity: Rare"
"Capture Difficulty: High"
"Danger Level: High"
It's not just one...
But three of them!
Three consecutive notification sounds rang in Li Wei's mind.
The information for the three Pokemon was almost identical.
At the same time, standing on a high vantage point, they gazed out at Haiyi City, and Diancie's eyes sparkled, (So beautiful!)
Steven was introducing Haiyi City to Li Wei and the others.
"Haiyi City is renowned as a leisure resort, where sea breeze, land, trees, and humans intertwine."
"Haiyi City is also divided by a light rail, splitting it into two parts: the hills and the coast."
This was evident from their vantage point; the light rail divided Haiyi City into north and south shores.
To the north, waves crashed against rocks, while the south was lush and green.
It certainly lived up to its reputation as a resort.
"Speaking of Haiyi City, one cannot help but mention the Sea Spirit's Den in Azure Bay along the northern coastline."
A smile appeared on Steven's face, "Guess what you might encounter there?"
Recalling the (Advanced) Scan notification, Li Wei raised an eyebrow and probed, "Legendary Pokemon?"
Li Wei could see the surprise in Steven's eyes.
Steven said in astonishment, "You've heard of this rumor too?"
Diancie exclaimed excitedly, (So amazing!)
Li Wei shook his head, "No, I haven't. I just guessed."
Steven smiled helplessly, "Alright, then you're quite lucky."
"There's a rumor in Azure Bay:
The Sea Spirit's Den, quietly standing in the middle of Azure Bay, surrounded by reefs, has water dripping from the cave ceiling...
It seems because of this sound, many bird Pokemon like to rest here,
And thus, the following rumor emerged....
There's a certain probability of encountering the three Legendary Pokemon—Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres—in the Sea Spirit's Den."
Steven stroked his chin, "However, according to the rumor, you should only encounter one."
Li Wei's lips curved slightly upward.
"I think we have a chance to encounter all of them."
Steven was about to say, 'How is that possible?'
But then he thought of Shaymin, Diancie, and Silver Metagross beside Li Wei...
Li Wei's luck truly was good.
Although both of them had a shiny Metagross,
Steven's shiny Metagross was bred at great expense, while Li Wei's was caught in the wild.
Steven's luck was definitely good,
But he truly seemed to not be as lucky as Li Wei.
Steven's lips curled into a smile,
"Then I'll borrow your good luck."
Steven had been to the Sea Spirit's Den once before but hadn't managed to see a Legendary Pokemon as he wished.
Steven had originally just wanted to try his luck, but looking at Li Wei, he felt that it might actually work out.
If it were just Li Wei himself, he really wouldn't dare go to this bird paradise—the Sea Spirit's Den.
The danger level displayed for the three Legendary Pokemon was 'High'...
If it were just one with a 'High' danger level, with the current strength of Li Wei's Lucario and Metagross...
It would probably be fine.
But if it were three... the pressure would be too great.
But thankfully, Steven was with him. If anything happened, Li Wei just needed to shout, "Steven, save me!"
His safety was assured.
"But before that, let's have lunch, and then we'll go to the Sea Spirit's Den."
They had traveled to Haiyi City partly by riding Metagross and partly by walking, which took about a day.
Mainly because there were some nice sights along the way.
"What would you like to eat?"
Li Wei pushed the menu towards Diancie and Shaymin.
Although Li Wei made Pokemon food, since they were traveling, they still had to try local specialties.
They chose a seaside Pokemon Restaurant on the North Shore, where they could enjoy the sea breeze under a parasol, listen to the waves, and gaze at the distant coast.
Wingull and Pelipper flew close to the sea surface.
Corsola inhabited the reefs by the sea, and from time to time, they could see Pokemon like Luvdisc leaping out of the water.
Li Wei, who had given the menu to Diancie and the others first, suddenly said, "What a pity."
Steven thought Li Wei was dissatisfied with the restaurant.
"What's a pity?"
"The Breeding Center doesn't have an ocean nearby, so it can't have a seaside restaurant like this."
Steven's lips curved upward, "A Breeding Center is more suited for a Pokemon Restaurant.
Coexisting harmoniously with wild Pokemon, I think that's also very good."
(This one!)
Diancie and Cynthia probably had a lot in common; she liked sweets and ice cream.
(I don't want it~)
As for Shaymin, probably because she was a Grass-type Pokemon, she liked eating grass dumplings and refused to eat any meat.
Purely a grass-eater.
Li Wei and Steven also ordered a portion of what Arcanine, Lucario, and Farfetch'd chose.
When Diancie's ice cream tower arrived,
The female waitress smiled slightly,
"Sirs, could you please sign for us?"
The waitress tilted her head, indicating the nervous customers and other staff waiting nearby.
When Li Wei and Steven appeared at the seaside restaurant, it almost caused a huge commotion.
When Li Wei and Steven were still at Professor Sycamore's Lab, helping Dr. Platanus collect data,
There were rumors that Li Wei and Steven were traveling together, and their appearance now confirmed this.
"No problem."
Just signing autographs was nothing to them.
Li Wei felt like he didn't really get to eat much during this lunch; he was mostly signing autographs for customers.
Because they heard Li Wei and Steven had arrived, many tourists and residents came to see them.
Even the owner of the seaside restaurant came and offered them a free meal due to the popularity Li Wei and Steven brought.
But Steven refused.
After all, they had eaten quite a lot.
Two Metagross, Aggron, and Arcanine—they were pure gluttons.
However, considering Li Wei's status as a Battle Chateau Duke, the restaurant owner gave them a discount.
Steven didn't refuse that.
Steven just had a lot of money, but he wasn't foolish.
"I didn't expect a Battle Chateau Duke could actually get a discount."
According to the Battle Chateau Duke standard, the restaurant owner gave them a 30% discount.
Watching Diancie slowly and carefully eat the last bit of her cake tower, Li Wei and Steven finally got up.
"Next, let's go check out the Sea Spirit's Den."
Because Diancie was a Rock-type Pokemon, Steven had asked Diancie beforehand if she was afraid of seawater.
While at Professor Sycamore's Lab, they weren't just researching data.
Through instruments, Dr. Platanus had already determined Diancie's type.
Like Carbink, it was Rock and Fairy type.
This further corroborated the close relationship between the two, although they still hadn't fully understood the specific relationship between Carbink and Diancie.
Even Li Wei didn't understand.
He only knew it was a mutation, but how did it mutate?
He didn't know either.
The seaside restaurant was very close to Azure Bay.
They decided to walk there.
Li Wei glanced at his scan radar.
The three Pokemon were still there.
