Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

…………

Rogue Panda: "A human wants to visit you. He doesn't seem like a bad person."

Little Diamond was shocked: "You told him?"

Rogue Panda: "...No, I just came to ask for your opinions first."

Little Diamond: "That's alright... but we've been really overwhelmed lately too. Holy Diamond... never mind, I'm going back now."

Rogue Panda: "...Oh."

Xia Chen overheard this brief exchange, then watched as the little diamond turned and disappeared back into the crevice.

Emerging from the bushes, Xia Chen walked up to the rogue panda.

"Kame... (I'm sorry, I messed up...)"

The rogue panda felt somewhat apologetic.

Elves are often much simpler-minded than humans. In their minds, if they receive a favor from Xia Chen, they should give a corresponding return.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault, I have a solution."

"Could you call it out one more time? Just tell it that I know a way to save the sacred diamond that is about to disappear."

"Kame... (Oh...)"

The rogue panda agreed and was about to do as instructed when it suddenly realized something. "Ka? (How did you know their sacred diamonds were about to disappear?)"

Little Diamond just mentioned the holy diamond, but it didn't say it would disappear.

Xia Chen smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry about that, I just know."

How else could they possibly know? They guessed.

In the theatrical version, it was precisely because the sacred diamonds of the Diamond Kingdom were on the verge of disappearing that Princess Diancie embarked on her journey to find Xerneas.

Considering what Little Diamond had said about being "in a terrible predicament" and "pure diamonds," Xia Chen felt that the diamond kingdom in this world was facing the same problem.

The rogue panda nodded and was about to go find Little Diamond again when Xia Chen stopped him.

"Wait a while before looking for it. If you look for it so quickly, won't that give away the fact that you brought me here?"

Since the rogue panda was being so kind as an elf, Xia Chen didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

Chapter 422 Princess Diancie of the Diamond Kingdom

(Sorry for the slow update over the weekend. The items have arrived. I'll apologize in women's clothing tomorrow. See you in the group.)

Xia Chen's words moved the little diamond that connected the Diamond Kingdom to the outside world. After hesitating for a moment, it agreed to let the rogue panda bring the mysterious human over.

After putting on another show, Xia Chen finally arrived at the "gate" of the Diamond Kingdom in a legitimate manner.

"Kanu? (Are you that human? Do you have any way to stop the disappearance of the Holy Diamond... wait, how do you know about this?)"

The little diamond, with its petite body, looked up at the sky, its sparkling eyes conveying an unfriendly emotion.

Although it agreed to meet with Xia Chen, it still seemed somewhat wary of this human.

"How I know it is not important, but I do know the way."

Xia Chen took the initiative and preferred to keep control of the conversation, especially since his negotiating partner was an elf.

"Just tell me if you want it or not."

Little Diamond wasn't one to be trifled with, and she wouldn't let Xia Chen get away with it so easily.

"Kanu! (You wait here, I'll go get the elder!)"

Beneath its adorable appearance, even its fierce tone is kind of cute.

Xia Chen smiled and nodded, watching the small diamond, whose body was floating, turn and leave into the dark cave.

About half an hour later, just when Xia Chen thought he had been stood up, two more small diamonds appeared at the crevice.

The newly appeared little diamond is larger, and the snow-white fur where the head connects to the body is also more abundant.

Besides that, the most eye-catching feature is the even more sparkling and dense diamonds on its cone-shaped body.

This is the most obvious distinguishing feature of small diamonds. Generally speaking, the more diamonds a small diamond has, the older and stronger it is.

Based on the previous mention of a small diamond, this "elder" must hold a high position in the diamond kingdom.

"Kanu? (Human, you say you know a way to save the Holy Diamond?)"

Different tiny diamonds are asking the same question.

Xia Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, we just need to create another Holy Diamond."

The idea that something disappears can be created makes perfect sense.

Just as a person dies when they are killed.

However, Elder Little Diamond took Xia Chen's words as a joke and immediately turned to leave in anger.

Creation? Do you know how much power it takes to create something?

Xia Chen calmly added, "Don't rush, I know your strength is insufficient, but what if it's Xerneas?"

Upon hearing this name, Elder Little Diamond suddenly turned around.

"Kanu! (Do you know where Lord Xernias is?)"

Xia Chen didn't beat around the bush and replied directly, "I don't know, but I saw it two years ago."

He summoned Sylveon from his Poké Ball and had her demonstrate the life force she had received from Xerneas.

Feeling the profound and pure life force, the little diamond fell silent.

a long time.

"Kanu... (I understand, please come in...)"

Xia Chen smiled slightly.

With just three sentences, he successfully entered the diamond kingdom.

…………

Xia Chen originally wanted to break through the rocks to get in, but Elder Little Drill wouldn't allow it, perhaps because he was worried that later humans would find this place.

They came in rather haphazardly—by digging a hole and crawling in.

When Xia Chen emerged from the end of the cave entrance, he found himself surrounded by a sea of ​​diamonds.

Diamonds, which are considered extremely precious by outsiders, are everywhere on the rock walls and the ground.

Illuminated by an unknown light source, the diamonds reflected a dazzling brilliance, making the entire cave appear dreamlike.

And just as numerous as the diamonds are its inhabitants, the tiny diamonds.

They had been playing and stopped what they were doing, looking curiously at the uninvited guest that the elder had brought in.

"Was that...a human?"

"Yes, it's a human. I saw one when I went out!"

"My God, why are humans coming in?"

"Who knows? The elder said yesterday that all humans are bad..."

The little diamonds chattered amongst themselves, but the little diamond elder pretended not to hear and led Xia Chen deeper into the cave.

"Kanu—(Let me show you the Holy Diamond first.)"

Perhaps because Xerneas had bestowed his blessing, it now completely trusted Xia Chen.

Following behind Elder Little Diamond, Xia Chen asked, "By the way, how old is your generation's Diancie?"

He remembered that in the movie version of his previous life, it was because the newly enthroned princess Diancie was not powerful enough that she was unable to create a new holy diamond.

Xia Chen wanted to know if Princess Tianxi was doing so for the same reason.

Elder Little Diamond was used to Xia Chen's knowledge of their Diamond Kingdom. It replied, "Kanu... (You guessed right, the princess is only four years old. She does not have enough power to master the ability to create holy diamonds.)"

Four years old...

Xia Chen pondered for a moment. The timing was quite coincidental. Four years ago, it seemed to be the time when Xerneas awakened.

The "territory" of the Diamond Kingdom wasn't very large. After exchanging a few words, Xia Chen saw the legendary holy diamond.

…………

The pure diamond, radiating a beautiful pink light, was crystal clear and suspended in the center of the cave wall. Xia Chen could sense through the transmission of waveguide power that the diamond was not composed of carbon, but was formed from a mixture of rock and fairy energy.

Strictly speaking, it is not a real diamond, but an energy body that supplies the daily energy needs of all the small diamonds in the diamond mining country.

"Kanu—(And now, the energy of the Holy Diamond is waning, and if a new Holy Diamond cannot be formed, the kingdom may be destroyed.)"

Elder Little Diamond said with a worried expression.

Xia Chen seemed thoughtful. "Destruction...is it that serious? What exactly does it mean?"

Could it be that this so-called sacred diamond is connected to the lives of all the smaller diamonds?

Elder Little Diamond explained, "If the kingdom is destroyed, we will have no choice but to leave our homeland and live elsewhere."

Xia Chen: "......"

So, it means I can no longer drink the blood of holy diamonds and have to fend for myself, huh? So that's the method of destruction...

Although he felt it wasn't a big deal, Xia Chen still comforted him, saying, "I understand, I will definitely help you."

"But before that, I would like to ask you something."

Xia Chen asked, "Are you aware of the strange things that have happened in this mountain over the past year?"

"Kanu? (Strange... Oh, the one you're talking about?)"

Elder Little Diamond thought for a moment and roughly understood which one Xia Chen was referring to, replying, "Kanu—(Are you referring to a place where a group of humans gather and often make noise?)"

"No, I'm not looking for humans, I'm looking for Yveltal..."

Xia Chen was about to deny it when he suddenly realized, "Wait, you're saying it was done by humans?"

Elder Little Diamond was also taken aback. "Kanu? (You mean you're looking for... Yveltal?)"
