The Simpleton Princess

"Princess, why are you here?!"

The Diamond Minister immediately forgot all about causing trouble for Greninja when he saw Diancie and hurried over to her.

"I was just curious," Diancie mumbled.

"My princess! This is not the time for curiosity. The kingdom is facing the greatest threat in its history. You absolutely cannot come out. Go back at once! Don't let anyone see you." The Diamond Minister pleaded earnestly.

Carbink alone were enough to make those evil people—Xia Yan—covet them. If Princess Diancie, their treasure, was seen and word got out, then the entire Diamond Kingdom would not be far from destruction.

After all, Carbink were genderless Pokémon. They had no reproductive ability and almost no capacity to reproduce on their own.

Perhaps that was the price they paid for having such long lifespans.

Thus, the birth of every Carbink in the Diamond Domain depended on the Sacred Diamond created by Princess Diancie.

But the greatest problem facing the Diamond Domain now was this.

The previous Princess Diancie had passed away, while the new Diancie was still too young at heart and unable to create Sacred Diamonds.

No new Carbink had been born in the entire Diamond Domain for a very long time.

Because of this, the Diamond Minister had worried himself several sizes fatter.

But no matter what.

He firmly believed that Diancie could create Sacred Diamonds and restore the Diamond Domain to flourishing life.

So even if every Carbink in the Diamond Domain had to be sacrificed, Diancie could not be allowed to suffer any harm.

Yet at such a dangerous time, with the evil person—Xia Yan—invading, Diancie had run out.

"But they've already seen me."

Diancie pointed at Xia Yan and Greninja in the distance and said in a soft, innocent voice.

"What?!"

The Diamond Minister abruptly
