Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 185 Meloetta's Friends

This is... Meloetta?!

Seeing the figure gracefully approaching accompanied by ethereal singing, and feeling the unique, lively yet mysterious aura of the mythical beast, Fangzhou's eyes widened involuntarily.

Meloeta actually came to my estate!

Fangzhou couldn't help but recall what the system had mentioned during the Textile Festival settlement: Meloetta really liked the manor and might come to visit sometime in the future.

So, they've really come to visit?

To be honest, Fangzhou did have a little expectation when he first saw that system notification, but after that no legendary Pokémon ever showed up, he gradually came to regard that sentence as a fixed line that the system often used and didn't take it too seriously.

Now that Meloetta is indeed coming to visit, doesn't that mean Lugia and Rayquaza, who came before, will also have a chance to come in the future?

Ark hasn't met Lugia yet. I heard that the Celestial Phenomenon Disease was caused by a problem on Lugia's side. I wonder how Lugia is doing.

"It's been a long time, Meloetta." Fangzhou collected his thoughts and gave the phantom beast in front of him a sincere smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time?"

A clear little girl's voice rang out. Meloeta rested her chin on her right hand, looking puzzled, then suddenly realized what she meant and happily spun around in a small circle.

"Indeed~ According to human time, it has been quite a few days since we last met, from the last celebration until now~"

"Chirp?!"

"Jenny?!"

The Pokémon that arrived later, such as Squirtle and Swablu, all showed expressions of shock.

This is Meloetta!

It's a living mythical beast!

Although they knew the manor had several legendary resources, this was the first time that Squirtle and the others had ever seen a legendary being appear in person before their eyes!

This kind of impact is far greater than the feeling of the scent on an object.

Squirtle's affection for Pokémon Manor skyrockets.

This is a manor that even mythical beasts acknowledge!

It... also wants to join.

Just then, Meloetta seemed to sense a lingering sense of gloom from Kirlian's previous defeat.

Meloeta's elegant expression remained unchanged, but the musical spell-like hairstyle on both sides of her head changed shape very smoothly, like a piece of silk being blown by the wind.

Her original slightly classic long hair has been transformed into a more lively short hairstyle that seems to dance to a melody. The color has changed from green to orange, and the hem of her skirt is also slightly fluttering.

Ark recognized it; it was Meloetta's dance form!

Sure enough, after transforming, Meloetta seemed to be surrounded by a ring of rhythmic ripples that made people feel excited.

It winked playfully at Ark and Kirlia, then began to dance lightly.

The dance moves seemed to possess a magical power of infecting, as its nimble figure gracefully darted and twirled among the Pokémon, creating invisible ripples of joy that spread outwards.

As each Pokémon passes by, the cheerful dance moves quickly infect the Pokémon nearby, bringing smiles to their faces as well.

As soon as the dance ended, the gloomy atmosphere that had filled the entire manor was instantly dispelled and replaced by a joyful one!

Meloetta bowed slightly, her hair returning to its green color, and cheers and applause immediately erupted from the surrounding Pokémon.

Da da da.

At that moment, a blue figure ran towards Meloeta with short legs, knelt on the ground, and handed Meloeta a bouquet of flowers that she had just picked from the flower field, which she had hidden behind her back.

"Squirtle, Squirtle!" Squirtle's eyes were full of hearts as it offered its adoration to Meloetta.

Several black lines appeared on Fangzhou's forehead.

That Squirtle guy...

Meloetta happily accepted the bouquet, and sensing the joyful mood of the Pokémon around her, a smile crept onto her lips.

That's more like it!

It really disliked that gloomy atmosphere.

The Great Sage and the Tropical Dragon brought Meloeta chilled watermelon juice and various fruits from the estate, warmly welcoming her.

Meloeta curiously took a sip of the chilled watermelon juice. The sweet and refreshing taste melted in her mouth, and she immediately squinted her eyes in enjoyment, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"The Ark's manor continues to surprise us as always~"

It looked around at the vibrant scenery and said in a light voice, "I've come to visit a friend who also lives nearby, and I thought I'd stop by your estate to take a look."

Visiting a friend?

A thought flashed through Fang Zhou's mind: Friends of Meloetta...

It's highly likely that it's also at the same level, or at least an extremely powerful Pokémon!

Could it be that a powerful neighbor is living in seclusion in the area where my manor is located?

And I've lived here for so long without even noticing?

Meloetta came to Kirlia's side and took Kirlia's hands in hers.

"You've become so much stronger since the last time we met~"

"Suri Suri~"

Meloetta continued, puzzled, "Why do I still see sadness in your eyes? Has something happened?"

A light bulb lit up on Fangzhou's forehead.

Right!

Meloetta is a mythical beast. Although it's not the kind that excels in combat, its knowledge, experience, and life level are undeniable. Guiding a minor Heavenly King to break through a bottleneck is definitely not a problem for it.

"That's right, Meloetta," Ark quickly explained, "Kirullian is at a crucial juncture in her ascension to the Elite Four level. The path she has chosen for herself is to become an 'Empress' who governs emotions and leads her companions."

"But after several attempts, I always felt like something was missing, something core, and I couldn't break through. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on this path?"

Ark looked at Meloetta expectantly, and the other Pokémon around it all looked over, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"The path to becoming an empress?" A look of surprise flashed across Meloeta's face, but it was quickly replaced by a sense of realization and joy.

It released Kirlia's hand, gently clasped its hands together in front of its chest, and a melodious voice rang out.

"Hmm... I think it would be a better choice than for me to give advice that might not be entirely applicable, but rather to take you to meet the friend I'm planning to visit."

Meloeta's eyes revealed a hint of admiration. "She is the princess of the diamond mining country, hailed as queen by the tiny diamonds. She has the ability to create diamonds out of thin air, and is both noble and magnificent."

Fang Zhou raised an eyebrow. "Meloeta, your friend is...?"

"Tianci." Meloetta murmured the name, her voice filled with the warmth of friendship.

Looking towards the distant mine, "It resides deep within that moving mine. Today happens to be the day that mine is about to embark on another relocation."

"I want to see it one last time before it leaves, to say goodbye."
