Chapter 646 Everyone has their own agenda!
On the other side, in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town, the atmosphere was completely different from the cheerful atmosphere in the town center.
The ninja man, Lyle, leaned against a wall in frustration.
Not far away, Mary Ling sat slumped unceremoniously on a broken chair with one leg missing.
Her carefully chosen, gorgeous outfit was now covered in dust, and her hair was somewhat disheveled.
At the same time, both of them looked extremely grim.
As a well-known figure in the world of thieves, he was not only beaten so badly that he had to run away with his tail between his legs, but he also looked as disheveled as a newbie who had just come out of the beginner village.
Especially for Mari, Daigo's behavior was an absolute disgrace to her!
"Damn it, why is the Hoenn champion here? Didn't he say he loves rocks? Doesn't he need to go back and dig for rocks?"
Mary scratched her hair in frustration, her voice filled with unvented resentment.
What kind of hobby is he? He's just a damn lolicon. He'll be in jail sooner or later for this.
"Ugh, this is tough!"
Mary sighed deeply.
She really couldn't think of any way to snatch food from that slutty lolicon.
That guy's Metagross monster had fists bigger than her head, and when it fired its beam, she felt like she could stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
The thought of Diancie, whose entire body was covered in pink diamonds, made Mary's heart bleed.
Is this incredibly valuable deal just going to fall through like this?
"Besides the champion Daigo, that guy named Koyun is also quite strong. If we go head-to-head, we'll hardly have any advantage."
Lyle spat out the bits of grass in his mouth, adding to himself.
It's not just that they can't gain any advantage; it's like an old man eating poison—they're tired of living.
"Hey, can you stop talking nonsense? You were the one who ran the fastest just now."
"Or is it that your ninja code is to bully the weak and fear the strong?"
Mary rolled her eyes at him, her tone almost tangible with sarcasm.
Yes, it's true that everyone was brought together temporarily.
But you betrayed your teammates way too fast! You could at least have shouted something before running away!
"you....."
Laird was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed, but he knew he was in the wrong.
Nonsense, in that situation, were we supposed to stay and wait to die instead of running?
Is the champion's Megalomon someone he can fool?
But saying that only made him seem cowardly, so in the end he just sighed and fell into a completely synchronized silence with Greninja.
Whoohoo!
Just as the two were getting on each other's nerves, a low hum broke the silence.
A uniquely shaped aircraft landed on the open ground.
The hatch slid open silently, and two people stepped out.
The leader was a tall, burly man with slightly thinning hair, who looked middle-aged.
He was dressed in a dark combat suit, with a Shield-Sword Monster floating beside him, exuding a calm aura and shaped like a shield.
Following behind him was a short-haired woman who looked quite young.
Dressed casually, with a lollipop in her mouth and a rather lively single-edged sword sheath beside her, she looked like an ordinary girl on a picnic.
But Lyle and Marie-Ling would never be fooled by appearances.
The Argais father and daughter, Argais and Milis.
In the world of thieves, this duo is renowned for their swift and meticulous methods and plans.
"Look who these are! Aren't they the famous ninja Lailte and the female thief Maryling?"
"It seems the two of you have run into a little trouble?"
Milis pointed the candy stick at the two slightly disheveled people.
Lailte and Marie instantly entered battle mode, their hands already on the Poké Balls.
Greninja also shifted from stillness to movement, slightly lowering its body as if preparing to attack.
"Argais, Milis...you've also come for Diancie?"
"Lelter said in a deep voice."
The worst-case scenario has occurred: the competitors are not only strong, but they are also pay-to-win players.
Milis shrugged. "What else? Was it for the scenery of this lousy place? Or to scavenge for trash?"
Argais's voice was hoarse: "Judging from your appearance, you've learned your lesson."
He spoke succinctly, his gaze sweeping over Marilyn and Lyle's disheveled state, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"cut……"
Mary scoffed dismissively.
This attitude is tantamount to acknowledging the other party's guess.
Milis stepped forward, crossed her arms, and scanned the two of them:
"Let's not beat around the bush. The guards around Diancie are now beyond our capabilities."
"The former Hoenn champion, the tournament champion, and the other two are no pushovers either."
"With such figures clustered together, none of us have a chance if we fight alone."
Millis paused for a moment: "Therefore, we need to cooperate. We have the same goal and each of us gets what we need."
Argais chimed in, "Once it's done, the value of Diancie will be enough for the three of us to split equally, how about it?"
Lyle and Marilin exchanged a glance, both seeing the attraction in each other's eyes.
That little brat is right. Faced with such a powerful guard, cooperation seems to be the only option.
They had long heard of the strength and equipment of the Arges father and daughter, especially their unconventional weapons, which might really be able to break through the champion's defenses.
Of course, their motives were not entirely innocent either.
Lyle's inner monologue: "Cooperation? Split the bill? Hmph, dream on! Once we get Diancie, with my and Greninja's speed, finding a chance to slip away will be a piece of cake."
This is what they call the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Mary Ling: "This father and daughter and that scumbag are all bad people. Cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin!"
"But once they're both exhausted, I'll take advantage of the chaos and Diancie will be mine!"
This is what they call "when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"
The two of them were having so much going on in their minds they could make a movie, but their faces quickly switched to genuine expressions.
"Tell me, how can we cooperate?"
Mary Ling, with a hint of compromise, delivered an acting performance comparable to an award-winning actress.
Millis wore a knowing smile, as if she had seen through everything:
"It's very simple. First of all, do you know why the Diamond Princess appeared in this town? Is it really just a coincidence?"
How the hell should I know?
Marilyn rolled her eyes, but still went along with Millie's suggestion: "Perhaps... it sneaked out on its own?"
“Nonono,”
Millis shook her index finger, giving her a look that said, "You're still too young."
"That's the most superficial idea. According to our investigation, with the Diamond Princess's current capabilities, she is not yet able to consistently produce high-quality diamonds."
"What do you mean?"
Lailte frowned.
The Diamond Princess can't make diamonds? That's like a mythical beast not being able to fly—absolutely impossible!
"Don't rush, ninja brother."
Milis smiled and said, "I estimate that the Diamond Princess's trip is to the forbidden Eternal Forest to seek the help of the legendary X God, Xerneas, in order to make up for her own lack of power."
"The Eternal Forest? That godless place has an X-god?"
The two expressed deep skepticism about this.
While the Eternal Forest is mysterious, it is more often associated with dangerous areas, which is clearly not in line with the temperament of the God of Life.
"I can't guarantee 100% whether God X is here or not."
Millis changed the subject: "But I swear on my father's hair, God Y is definitely here!"
"Daughter, you mustn't say things like that."
Argais subconsciously touched his sparse hair.
Thankfully, none were missing. Do you even realize how important hair is to a middle-aged man?!
"The God of Y? The God of Destruction, Yveltal!"
Lailt and Marilin both gasped.
Compared to X God's relatively positive reputation, Y God in the Carlos series is a terrifying being who can stop even a child from crying.
Rumor has it that wherever this old man awakens, good times are basically over, and he's destined to walk through natural disasters.
"You two dare to contact God Y? Don't you want to live?!"
Lyle's voice changed.
Compared to this father and daughter, he felt like a greenhorn.
"Hey, what are you saying! We're just investigating, we never touch anything!"
Milis immediately waved her hand.
Argais added, "The god of destruction? Who would touch it for no reason? Do they have a death wish?"
That thing, let alone no employer would dare to accept it, no one would want it even if it were given away for free.
This is a death warrant; whoever touches it will be doomed.
"Hey, don't you understand the concept of 'driving away wolves to devour tigers'?"
Milis clasped her hands together: "Based on the current combat strength analysis, even if the four of us join forces, the chances of winning in a head-on confrontation are extremely low, so..."
"So you want to use God Y?!"
The two finally realized what was happening, their hearts pounding – this plan was insane!
Argais said in a deep voice, "You don't need to worry about that, we have our own way of doing it."
"All you need to do is launch a surprise attack, bring Diancie to the designated location, and we'll take care of the rest of the plan."
Lailte and Marilin fell silent again. Using the God of Destruction?
This is like dancing on a knife's edge, no, it's like surfing on Kyogre's back!
But the thought of Diancie's alluring, sparkling pink diamond body...
Hiss... Let's take a gamble, Caterpie transforms into Rayquaza!
They won at Diamond Coast, but lost by filming in the sea!
It's done!
The lure of profit ultimately triumphed over the fear of unknown dangers.
In the shadows, this fragile, makeshift alliance of thieves, each with their own hidden agendas, was formed.
