At present, apart from Darkrai, there were five employees in the café.
Head chef and pastry chef, Alcremie;
Sous chef and server, Steenee.
There was also the “little butler” Indeedee, the “attendant” Meowstic, and the “delivery guy” Delibird.
With the team growing ever stronger, Natsume-sensei was deeply satisfied.
After all, it was impossible for him to stay in Lumiose City all the time.
During his Victory Road challenge, someone would need to...

“For Ryo of the Elite Four to defeat the previous Champion—the former Champion’s strength was truly formidable.”
Matori spoke seriously: “Therefore, you’ll need to be fully prepared as well!”
Natsume listened, completely lost.
Who exactly defeated whom? Who did Ryo beat?
After hanging up, Natsume roughly searched for Ryo’s Elite Four team composition.
Currently, there was no official news about Ryo’s ascension to Champion, but it was possible to...

When Natsume returned to the party hand-in-hand with Cynthia, Bonnie and all the little ones broke into cheerful teasing.
“It’s Mrs. Sensei!” Bonnie laughed.
“Gengar~” Gengar grinned, baring his teeth, with Dedenne perched on his head, clutching his belly in laughter.
Dedenne’s face turned pale from fright; it didn’t dare move a muscle. “Dedenne…”
“Bonnie, mind your manners,” Clemont quickly said.
“Miss Cynthia… so beautiful!” Serena...

The Pixie Plate wasn’t convenient to stash in the Reverse World.
So Natsume chose the most straightforward method—he just stuffed it into his own backpack.
Some Trainers’ backpacks are like little storage warehouses, packed with Berries, Full Restores, and sometimes even the Arceus’s Plates...
Sunbeams shifted through the forest.
Natsume stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The Pixie Plate absolutely needed to be returned to Arceus, or it could cause a disa...

Steven eventually received a thank-you gift of pink diamonds from Diancie.
Natsume glanced at Steven’s palm.
“No peeking,” Steven said with a smile, cupping his hand closed.
“Tch, your diamond isn’t as big as mine.” Natsume pouted.
The Diancite capable of enabling Diancie’s Mega Evolution was truly one of a kind—a perfect engagement ring.
Steven couldn’t help but laugh; just being able to collect a pink diamond made by Diancie made this entire t...

Brilliant light of evolution flared above the cliff.
Everyone gazed upward to see Natsume’s raised right hand, the Key Stone embedded in his fingerless gloves shining with a rainbow glow!
Gengar grinned wide, the yellow Cyclopean eye on its forehead opening, fists bristling with spikes, its body wrapped in black and crimson mist, and the rainbow mark of Mega Evolution ablaze atop its head!
“Mega Evolved Gengar? This is my first time seeing that!” Serena exclaimed in aw...

Deep within Allearth Forest, no light could be seen.
The riverbed was dried up, tree branches jutted into the sky like jagged white bones, blood-red mist hung thick in the air.
This was the core zone enveloped by the Dark Aura; not a single Pokémon could cross the boundary and survive in the depths of the forest.
All except one—among legendaries, the god of death, Yveltal.
A giant of a white-haired man, one eye hidden beneath his bangs, strode through the thriving o...

The steamboat glided along the river, a pleasant breeze caressing everyone’s faces.
“Allearth Forest is just ahead,” Steven said.
AZ rested a hand on the railing, a fleeting look of reminiscence crossing his eyes.
“Traveling with everyone—it’s been truly wonderful.”
Diancie smiled softly. “Including last night’s camping, Bonnie, I’ll never forget it.”

Brackish Town, buffet.
Diancie sat gracefully on a dining chair, dabbing her mouth with a handkerchief.
Ash was beside her, wolfing down food at top speed.
Steven rested his hand against his cheek and asked, “So, Princess Diancie, you’re heading to Allearth Forest?”
“That’s right. As long as I can meet Xerneas, I’ll be able to master the strength to gather true diamonds—Master Diamond said so.” Diancie replied.

Diancie said proudly, “Since I’ve started traveling, I’ve learned a lot~”

Lumiose City, Pokémon Café.
Dusk settled in, casting a heavy atmosphere across the shop.
Alcremie, moving awkwardly, brought over a tray and set two cups of coffee on opposite sides of the table. Clutching the tray to her chest, she looked up at Natsume with a pitiful expression.
“It’s really good.” Natsume took a careful sip and smiled. “A big improvement over last time.”
Alcremie let out a breath of relief, still holding the tray, and started shuffling ba...

For some reason, today the renovation team arrived unusually fast.
The Timburr crew busied themselves sweeping up the debris, shrinking away nervously every time they passed Tyranitar.

Early morning, the sunlight was pleasant.
To train the Darkinium Z “Black Hole Eclipse,” Natsume headed to the Stone Hall on Spring Avenue in Lumiose City.
The Stone Hall was a specialty shop selling stones, displaying a beautiful array of evolutionary stones in its cabinets. Craftsmen would evaluate and process stones with expert care.
On behalf of an Alolan craftsman, Natsume had the Sparkling Stone shaped into a Z-Bracelet.

Geosenge Town was renowned for its jagged boulders, a stone forest encircling ancient ruins, which drew many tourists to visit.
A blue-haired man in a tailored suit stood amidst the stone pillars, his eyes focused as he examined the wind-carved marks upon the rocks, like a connoisseur appraising a collection of fine art.
A flash of memory passed through Steven’s deep cerulean eyes.

A hush fell over the gardens.
“Amazing…”
Korrina couldn’t help but punch the air, imitating Gengar’s earlier moves, and murmured, “He really knocked out Mr. Lance’s Red Gyarados with his fists!”
Gengar’s Attack Stat left much to be desired, yet the physical move “Foul Play” could harness the ferocious destructive power of Red Gyarados for itself.
Looked at another way—when a spellcaster is pushed to their limit, swinging their fists is perfectly...

Natsume looked at Lance in confusion.
Lance’s red hair stood tall, his face stern, cape draping over his blue Champion uniform.
At this moment, his sword-like brows were raised, his eyes sharp, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as he spoke:
“Since this is a Battle Café, there must naturally be a battle!”
For Lance, this was a valuable chance to clash convictions with Natsume and to further sharpen his Red G...

“There’ll be a chance.”
