Kalos Region Deep underground, there exists a miracle unknown to most humans.
Diamond Domain.
This place is not made of ordinary rocks and soil, but a vast space made of countless crystal clear pink crystals that reflect the light of Mew.
The palace columns wind upwards, and the dome is inlaid with diamonds from Illuminate, shrouding the entire country in an eternal and gentle glow.
However, this glory that has lasted for countless years is now facing the crisis of being extinguished.
The core of the Mine Country, inside the throne room.
Suspended directly above the throne is the source of life of the mining country.
Holy diamond.
It was once like a miniature star, pouring out majestic and pure energy all the time.
The light flows, nourishing every inch of crystal and every life on this land.
But now, the surface of this holy diamond is covered with mottled dark marks like rust.
The halo circulating inside becomes extremely weak, flickering on and off, like a candle in the wind, and every flickering touches the hearts of all Carbink.
Minister Carbink is an old man whose body is slightly stooped due to the long years.
His voice was filled with age and fatigue that could not be concealed. "Your Highness Princess... please forgive me for speaking frankly. According to the current rate of decay, the energy of the Holy Diamond can only be maintained for three days at most..."
His eyes were cast on the slender figure in front of the throne - Diancie.
Diamond Domain's princess, Carbink's rare mutant in a thousand years.
It has a more slender and elegant shape and a unique round pink diamond on the top of its head.
She is the hope of the entire country and the only being who can theoretically create new holy diamonds.
However, at this moment, the diamond princess lowered her head. The round diamond on her head was set off by the crescent moon necklace, and her eyes seemed to have lost their former agility.
She has tried countless times to mobilize all the power in her body, but she has always been unable to reach the legendary holy level.
Either the structure is unstable or the energy is mixed.
What the ancestors could do, why couldn't she?
Minister Diamond's voice became deeper and deeper. "Without the protection of the holy diamond, the land of the mining country will lose its cohesion, and the crystal will lose its luster and turn into ordinary stone.
"And for us, the Carbink clan, who rely on its energy to survive, our lives will gradually dry up and disappear like a stream with no source."
"Well, elder, if I can find the life Pokémon you mentioned before, can it really guide me and help me master the method of creating holy diamonds?"
Dianxi raised her head, her jewel-like eyes mixed with hope and uncertainty.
If you don't have enough on your own, plug-ins will make up for it.
Now Dianxi can only place her hope on the legendary Pokémon, the God of Life, Xerneas.
Minister Zuan slowly stepped forward and said softly, "Of course it's okay, Princess."
"According to records in ancient documents, Xerneas, the legendary being who holds the power of life, is most likely sleeping in the forbidden place known as the Eternal Forest.
"However, there is an uncivilized area that humans and Pokémon seldom set foot on. It is full of unknown dangers. You..."
The Diamond Minister did not continue, but his meaning was clearly expressed.
You, who has thin arms and legs, aren't you going to deliver food?
Is that okay~
"I can do it! I'm not afraid for the country!"
Dianxi's face twisted, trying to make herself look more imposing.
Although it looks more like a pink lolita with fried hair.
But for the sake of its people, it has nothing to fear.
Okay! This is our Princess of the Diamond Kingdom!"
Minister Diamond seemed to be infected by this (seemingly) firm determination, and his voice rose a few points.
Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
He turned to the side and shouted loudly, "Majima! Knight! Jiuk!"
"Yes!"
Three Carbink came out in response, with firm eyes and straight bodies, trying hard to show off the elegance of the kingdom's elite.
"You are the most elite soldiers in the kingdom! Now that the princess is traveling, the task of protecting her safety is left to you. Can you do it?"
Minister Zuan looked solemn and solemn with a sense of ceremony.
Hmm... perhaps there is still a trace of Frisk's guilty conscience.
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
The three Carbink responded in unison, their momentum... not bad.
"Great!"
The Diamond Minister nodded with satisfaction.
Dian Xi looked at these three "elites" and felt a little more at ease.
With the three of them here, this trip... will definitely be much safer.
It is night, when the clear brilliance of the moon replaces the blazing sun and covers the earth.
Diamond Princess Diancie, under the protection of three "elites", Majima, Knight, and Juke, quietly left the underground mining country where they had lived for generations and embarked on the road to the surface.
Pushing aside the last clump of Vine Whip that covered the entrance, the cool Moonlight poured over Dianxi like silver yarn.
She had never felt Moonlight so directly. It was an aura completely different from the eternal glow of the Mine Country.
Brave new world, here she comes!
However, this beautiful scene, like the lighthouse in Darkest Day, attracts attention that should not exist.
In the distance, on a steep cliff.
Mari Ling, a female thief wearing a tight-fitting adventure suit that outlines her hot figure, is holding a telescope and the corners of her mouth are curved with excitement.
"Oh oh oh oh, honey, look what we found."
"A small walking coin... oh no, it's the Diamond Princess that exudes priceless light. It seems we are lucky."
Beside her, there was a Delphox with bright fur and a branch burning with flames, with a cunning light shining in its eyes.
A chase has already begun.
At the same time, in Kalos Region, a beautiful hilly area.
Xiaoyun The two are continuing their trip.
The sunshine is just right, and the breeze blows through the grass, bringing the fragrance of wild flowers.
It has a bit of a "pig-headed boy wouldn't dream of nostalgic picnic" vibe.
"At this speed, we will arrive in the town of Avignon in the afternoon."
Dawn looked at Rotom's navigation with a brisk tone.
"Well, I heard there are different delicacies there, we can try them."
Xiaoyun responded with a smile, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of two familiar figures walking in the distance.
One of them was wearing a decent suit, with short silver-blue hair and a meticulous temperament, elegant and calm.
He is the champion of Hoenn Region and the eldest son of Devon Corporation.
Mining brother, Stone·Steven.
And walking beside him was the purple-haired trainer who always had a stern expression and his hands in his pockets.
Useless brother, Paul.
"Mr. Steven! Paul!"
Xiaoyun waved hello unexpectedly. Dawn also showed an awkward but polite smile.
"Saxi ignore~, Xiaoyun and Dawn."
Steven was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"We originally made an appointment to meet in the town of Avignon, but unexpectedly we met here."
Steven's eyes always have a kind of gentleness.
"Long time no see."
Paul nodded slightly as a greeting.
It may seem very rude, but for Paul, it is considered the perfect match for social etiquette.
Xiaoyun looked at the duo and couldn't help but murmur in his heart:
"This guy Paul... when did he become so inseparable with Steven? Didn't he run around the world challenging gyms and strong men before?"
Alas, I have really found a long-term meal ticket, and I don't want to work hard at all.
You can do it alone when gathering wool.
Paul It seemed that Frisk caught Xiaoyun's teasing gaze, and looked away unnaturally, and spoke in a strong tone:
"Mr. Steven and I just happened to go together because we have the same purpose."
I don't understand what you are implying at all. This is our pure comradeship.
"Ah, yes, yes."
Xiaoyun nodded obediently.
That sounds right, but have you forgotten that you were not good at it before?
I believe you might as well believe he is Qin Shihuang.
Hearing this, Steven smiled gracefully and took over, "Paul is an excellent trainer and observer. I have benefited a lot from his many insights into Pokémon. He is a very good travel partner."
"Is that so?" Xiaoyun looked at Paul, the teasing look in his eyes became even stronger.
Okay, okay, you've learned too much, pretending to be a good boy in front of Steven in private, right?
Xiaoyun dares to bet that if Steven can boast so much, Paul must have never said that classic line in front of Steven.
Like, what a useless guy.
Paul's expression froze, and he pretended to be calm.
Damn it, were you Detect?
Steven then looked at Xiaoyun with a slightly more formal expression. "Speaking of which, Xiaoyun is contacting you this time. There is something I hope to get your help with."
"My help?"
Xiaoyun pointed at himself. As a common man, how can he help the second generation of rich people?
Bringing the rich second generation to experience life?
Steven glanced at Paul who was trying to reduce his presence next to him. "It was recommended by Paul. He said that you have your own unique insights in dealing with Legendary Pokémon."
Paul's heart: I just stated the facts objectively, and didn't mean to praise him.
"Legendary Pokémon? Mr. Steven, please say."
Xiaoyun stopped joking and became serious.
He has always had a good impression of Steven. This former champion is not only powerful, but also an upright person.
More importantly, the action was extremely generous.
This can be seen from the Metagross and Mega Stone in the hands of Paul.
"It's about some... abnormal energy fluctuations of Hoenn Region."
Steven considered the words: "We found a strange boulder at the ruins near Rustboro City."
"It seems to contain a huge energy that has never been recorded, which may be related to some potential power of Pokémon."
"Furthermore, Devon Corporation's research has encountered some bottlenecks, and... some other forces have also shown unusual interest in it."
Xiaoyun's heart moved, and he estimated the timeline and events. This description sounds like the key to causing Hoenn Three Idiots Mega Evolution, Mega Evolution Giant Stone.
In view of the friendly relationship previously established with Steven and the trust in his character, coupled with the importance of the incident itself, and the generous "five-star praise" reward, Xiaoyun hardly hesitated.
"I understand, Mr. Steven. It's my honor to be able to help."
Xiaoyun nodded and accepted this hidden task.
The key to this incident is the three idiots Hoenn and the troublemaker Lysandre.
To put it simply, his goal is to help Steven stabilize the situation and see if he can make some money... ahem, to accumulate experience.
Thank you very much."
Steven's smile was a bit sincere, "We will discuss the specific details on the way. Paul and I will also be active in this area for the time being, so we can go together for a while."
"No problem."
Xiaoyun naturally doesn't mind. With a rich second generation traveling with us, we might be able to save on food expenses on the way.
"Is Mr. Steven doing research around here?"
Dawn asked curiously.
"No, not really. I just heard that there are unique diamond veins here and I was curious to take a look."
Steven smiled and shook his head, his eyes a little wandering, as if he was lost in yearning for something beautiful.
Just as the four of them were walking together and chatting, a rush of running sounds and panicked shouts suddenly came from the woods ahead.
"Your Highness, please hurry up!" Majima tried her best to Rollout while looking back anxiously.
"They're catching up!" Knight's voice was filled with tears.
"Endure! We're almost in the open space!"
Jiuk tried to boost morale, but he was also panicked.
Immediately afterwards, several figures staggered out of the forest. It was Dianxi and her three "right-hand men".
However, due to Dianxi's height, the scene once looked like a princess and her three pendants.
Almost the next second they appeared, several blazing tongues of fire spurted out from the forest and hit Dianxi's back!
At the same time, several energy nets shimmering with cold light also came down from different directions, blocking their path.
"Eh!"
Dianxi let out a exclamation and was caught on the spot by the energy net, about to be licked by the fire Lick.
At this time, a dark blue figure descended from the sky and easily cut off the flames behind Pursuit.
It is a Greninja!
Appearing together with Greninja was a man wearing a ninja uniform with a stern face.
Looking at the Diamond Princess in the capture net, Ninja Man Lairt showed a satisfied smile.
"Diamond Princess Diancie, captured successfully!"
But before the ninja man could be happy for long, a beautiful voice followed closely.
"Laert! I'm CNM!"
I saw a woman in hot clothes rushing out of the woods, staring at the ninja man in front of me with unkind eyes, and the waves in her chest rose and fell violently with anger:
"I mean, you're a well-known figure in the industry, don't you know the first-come, first-served principle?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah~"
Laerte spread his hands and said in a casual tone, "Stupid Mary Lingyou, we don't have such rules in our industry. Of course, whoever has the biggest fist will get it."
"Besides, this is Diancie!"
He might not be crazy to reason with something priceless.
This attitude made Mari Ling furious:
"I just know that you are such a scumbag and don't have good intentions. Go to hell for me!"
"Delphox, Flamethrower!"
