South of Laverre City, in the Alforn Mountains.
After Diancie unleashed a Diamond Storm powerful enough to cause diamond inflation...
Gigalith hurriedly fled with Boldore and Roggenrola.
Sableye, which had been cackling eerily moments earlier, also realized things had gone wrong and hastily escaped amid Carbink's attacks.
The pink diamonds dissolved into specks of light in the air.
Diancie did not lead the Carbink in pursuing the fleeing Gigalith and its companions.
Diancie turned, lifted her skirts, and gave a slight curtsy.
(Thank you for your help. This is a token of my gratitude.)
There was a smile in Diancie's voice.
As a Mythical Pokémon, Diancie could use Telepathy, just like Shaymin.
Diancie could also sense that the man before her meant no harm.
And Diancie liked him.
Because he had shiny things about him.
It was not just the Key Stone on his glove.
Trust, conviction, courage, friendship, kindness, emotion, sincerity...
The friendship and affection between Li Wei and his Pokémon sparkled in Diancie's eyes.
Diancie saw many shiny things in this young man.
All the beautiful qualities in the world were shiny things that Diancie loved.
This was actually Diancie's first encounter with a human.
Born in this mine, Diancie had been different from the other Carbink from birth.
Fortunately, the Carbink had not rejected her.
A wise, levelheaded old Carbink had told her the stories passed down through generations of Carbink.
Incidentally, Carbink had absurdly long lifespans, easily exceeding a thousand years.
Perhaps that had something to do with their diamond bodies.
The Carbink that served Princess Diancie in the Diamond Kingdom had lived for a very long time.
"Carbink living in underground mineral deposits... have a chance of mutating into the most beautiful Pokémon in the world, shining with a pink radiance..."
This was the story
