Chapter 696: Watch the back of your neck when you laugh at a dwarf
Because Rabbit was wielding the Shedding Ninja as a shield, Diancie treated them as one Pokémon to fight, or perhaps it had forgotten that this was a doubles battle. After all, its teammate, the Godfather Mastiff, had been slacking off.
Then, because the Shedding Ninja changed places, a momentary misjudgment caused it to suffer a fatal blow.
"We give up." Princess Mira sighed. After Diancie was knocked down, even if they released the Mastiff Godfather Butterfree and Magic Masked Meowth, they would still be killed by the rabbit one by one.
"Ji." Tuji carried the giant axe on his shoulders and looked down on the world.
"Dear audience! The champion of this league competition has been born! He is the friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the distinguished guest of Vespania, Mr. Martin! Are we really going to lose a prince?"
The audience cheered and applauded. They did not hold back on their enthusiasm because Martin had won over their princess - rather, since even the patron saint had been defeated, how could they dare to have any complaints?
After that, the award ceremony for the champion was held, and the next important thing was the coronation ceremony of Princess Mira. Like most feudal countries, the coronation/ascension is the final confirmation of the monarch's rights, announcing that Mira has inherited the throne, and she should be called Queen Mira instead of Princess from now on.
Vespania's coronation ceremony was joyous, with people spontaneously gathering on both sides of the road, some of them already drinking wine or beer. Martin, as the champion, rode a flaming horse imported from Galar in front, followed by Princess Mira in a carriage, and they came all the way from the League Arena to the palace to the cheers of the people.
At the coronation ceremony held in the garden in front of the palace, Princess Mira first faced the subjects to accept cheers, and then swore an oath to uphold the laws and state religion.
Then came the formal coronation. Martin, holding the jewel-studded European crown in his hand, walked towards Princess Mira step by step.
But as he walked, he realized something was wrong.
The coronation ceremony, to put it simply, is to find someone to put a hat on the king's head. Martin once participated in it as a king.
The postures when wearing the crown vary from era to era. For example, in the era of divine right, the king knelt to accept the coronation of the bishop; when Martin became the king, he sat on the throne, and an old palace minister stood beside him to crown him; or there were also times when the king stood, with a three-tiered staircase next to him, and someone stood on the staircase holding the crown and crowning the king.
In short, the spatial position of the crown wearer should be higher than that of the king, so that the crown can be put on steadily and properly at one time. If you tiptoe to put the king's hat on and adjust it a few times, and then pull it up and put it on again if you feel it is not put on properly, it is not called a coronation, it is called your mother thinking you are cold.
But as Martin walked along, there was neither a throne nor a small step beside the princess.
If she was just the league champion, she wouldn't have to kneel down to be crowned. If it was Diancie who was crowned, she might kneel down. But would she bend down? Martin had already walked in front of Mira, and the master of ceremonies, Gis, had already shouted, "Please crown Her Majesty the Queen!" Mira still stood straight, looking down at Martin, with a little pride in her eyes after winning a game.
——I told you to become a child and make me misunderstand you. Are you short? Are your legs short? Are you helpless? Beg me, admit that you can't reach it and beg me, and I will bend down to you.
What, as a king, you shouldn't be petty? Mira's immaturity as a princess has nothing to do with me, Queen Mira. If Martin is angry, wait until the coronation ceremony is over, and then as a queen, I will apologize to him for what happened.
Understanding Princess Mira's thoughts from her cunning eyes, Martin raised the corner of his mouth and gave a sly smile that made Princess Mira suddenly feel a chill on the back of her neck.
Then, Martin—jumped up.
Xiaozhi Martin, who transformed into a super rookie, jumped lightly on the spot and jumped more than one meter high. Then, holding the crown in both hands, he made a slam dunk on Mira's head and slammed the crown directly on Mira's head.
The people cheered, and from then on Mira was Her Majesty the Queen.
Queen Mira felt like her neck was almost broken, and now the back of her neck was sore and numb. Unfortunately, she couldn't rub it with her hands during the coronation ceremony. She could only straighten her face, glare at Martin, and then continue with the process, greeting her subjects again and accepting the cheers.
After that, Diancie appeared, and then the master of ceremonies, Gis, came out to give a series of speeches. During this time, each guest received a glass of red wine. After Gis finished his speech, the Queen and everyone raised their glasses together to toast tomorrow.
When drinking, Xiaolan and Aoko were just pretending, but Kuroba Kaito and Conan drank it all in one gulp, and then were scolded by their girlfriends.
At this happy moment, someone suddenly appeared and attacked.
A cloud of white smoke exploded at the main gate of the palace, and then missiles with ropes shot out from the smoke, two of which entangled Queen Mira's crown, and two tied up Diancie beside her.
"Not good!" Seeing this, Martin shouted loudly: "Kaito Kidd is coming!"
Kuroba Kaito in the crowd: ???
The ropes tightened, snatching Queen Mira's crown and Diancie into the smoke.
"Who is it?" asked Queen Mira.
"I heard you say 'who is it'." Someone said in the smoke. "Since you asked sincerely."
"Then we will mercifully tell you."
"To prevent the world from being destroyed."
"To maintain world peace."
"Carrying out love and truthful evil."
"A lovable and charming villain."
"Musashi!" "Kojiro!"
"We are Team Rocket traveling the galaxy."
"White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow."
"That's it, meow meow meow~"
Kojiro reminded quietly, "Hey, that's too much meowing. One meow is enough."
Meow Meow smiled happily: "This is cuter, meow~"
The smoke cleared, and two men and women wearing grey uniforms with a red 'R' on them appeared. In the middle was a standing Meowth, and on the left and right stood a blue Guaran and a purple anemone-like Good and Bad Star.
"Hey." Martin also laughed: "I was thinking that something seemed to be missing today. Why did you guys come just now?"
"Stop talking nonsense, little brat, we've taken the crown and Diancie!" Musashi announced loudly.
Martin raised his eyebrows, not recognizing him or pretending not to recognize him. This Musashi sister was not brought from another world, but a local making a guest appearance.
"Don't be so presumptuous!" Keith commanded the guards to release Pokémon, such as Inspector Mongoose, to attack the three members of Team Rocket.
Musashi: "Sure enough!"
The blue one jumped out, blocking all attacks with mirror reflection or punching. "Sonans... (rebounded some boring stuff again)."
Kojiro: "You can't let yourself be outdone by Ranran, you bad star!"
The Good and Bad Star, with a cigarette in his mouth, spat with a crooked mouth, then used the Spike Cannon to continuously fire spikes, knocking down the Pokémon of the guard team with incredible precision.
Emmm... Who did they transform into? It's so hard to guess.
Seeing all the guards being knocked down, Diancie, who was tied up by Team Rocket, finally ended her dazed state and realized that she was kidnapped.
And it was tied up with ropes like some powerless vase Pokémon?
If I can’t beat the long-eared rabbit, I can’t beat you either?
Without even needing to resonate with Queen Mira, Diancie entered Mega Evolution directly, and then used Meditation, Moon Power, Power Stone, and Destroyer Ray one by one, and knocked out Team Rocket, who had not watched the game and were confused.
"What a disgusting feeling..." ×3 "Sonnens..." "Tsk" Five more stars appeared in the sky, and the Rockets' standard procedure was completed.
"Really?" Queen Mira thought this was a boring farce. "What on earth are these people doing here?"
"Come to give me a riddle," whispered Martin.
