I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

as expected...

"I just said I wanted to take a sneak peek at the human world, and Senior actually criticized me like that."

"It was just a glance... Senior is really too much!"

Diancie waved her fist and made accusatory sounds.

Her strength had not improved, and she was unable to produce diamonds as smoothly as previous generations of Diancie had done.

Not to mention making real diamonds, it is even difficult for her to make fake diamonds that can only exist for a short while.

In this situation, it would be futile for her to learn anything.

so that...

She thought of trying her luck in the human world.

With human magic, maybe we can help her solve her problems.

Of course, she just had a similar thought.

But even so, she still received severe criticism.

This made Diancie feel extremely aggrieved.

The dissatisfaction that had accumulated for many days burst out at this moment.

[In mid-air, you feel helpless as you look at Diancie with tears in her eyes.]

[Your intuition tells you that you should be able to have a conversation with the other party soon.]

[Maybe there will be a way to solve the other party's predicament, but before that, you can only watch Diancie suffer alone. ]

While feeling aggrieved, Diancie seemed to have made a decision.

She suddenly raised "Xia Mu" and said seriously:

"I want to leave the mine and take a look at the outside world!"

Ordinary small diamonds in the tribe can do this kind of thing, but as a princess, she is restricted in every way.

This made Diancie feel extremely aggrieved.

....................................

.................................

Having decided to run away from home, Diancie naturally took action quickly.

She did not carry any extra things with her and only held her friend "Xia Mu" in her arms.

After bypassing the patrol drill, she entered the explored tunnel as usual.

"Xiao Mu, do you know that the senior has been in a bad temper recently..."

As they walked, Diancie was still chatting to herself.

Staying in the "ore", Xia Mu listened quietly.

Like Diancie, he was born not long ago and his knowledge is also blank.

The only channel for him to obtain information was the few words of complaint from the other party on a daily basis.

After walking in the tunnel for a long time, Diancie finally reached the exit.

Looking at the familiar mine, Diancie breathed a sigh of relief.

This is where I found "Xiao Mu".

Two years have passed, and there seems to be no change here, and humans have not returned here.

Although she said she wanted to explore the human world, after calming down, she was still afraid...

So I decided to just stay in the forest and go back when the time comes.

As she walked out of the mine, Diancie couldn't help but pause.

"Is it so quiet in the forest?"

She nervously tightened her arms that were holding the ore, thinking doubtfully in her head.

It's normal that the underground is quiet on weekdays, after all, there are very few Pokémon living there.

but...

Why is the forest so quiet, where there should be many Pokémon living?

It even got to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

Diancie looked around and guessed it might be because of the night.

Thinking of this, she exhaled slowly, and jumped into the forest holding the ore.

In her memory, there seemed to be a large lake in the middle of the woods.

The scenery there was beautiful and she planned to sit there.

Following the route she remembered, Diancie soon reached the lake.

What puzzled her was that the surrounding terrain seemed to have changed a lot compared to the last time she came.

Some trees have also become bare, which is not at all what trees should look like in summer.

Fortunately...

The beautiful lake was still there. After walking to the edge of the lake and sitting down on the lawn, Diancie felt the long-lost relaxation.

"Xiao Mu... I heard that I am Diancie who was born from the power of my senior."

"When I become stronger in the future, I will turn you into Diancie, too. How about that?"

Diancie thought about her motivation to become stronger and spoke to Xia Mu.

But halfway through her speech, she suddenly paused.

——In her field of vision, there seemed to be a stone sculpture placed in the grass not far away.

The stone sculpture is in the shape of a croaking frog. It is so lifelike that even the facial expression is imitated quite well.

But...as a Pokémon that is sensitive to stone, Diancie felt an indescribable strange feeling.

Chapter 321: Cracked Ore

"Is this... a stone sculpture?"

Diancie looked at the stone sculpture of a croaking frog not far away and muttered to herself with a somewhat uncertain tone.

It is obviously well carved and the material is indeed stone.

But the stone sculpture in front of her gave her a very bad feeling. She felt an inexplicable chill on her back just by looking at it.

Unconsciously, Diancie tightened her little hands around the ore.

With an inquiring mind, she carefully approached the stone sculpture.

"Susu-"

As the dense grass was pushed aside, the full picture of the stone sculpture appeared in her sight.

It was indeed a croaking frog, and its body was slightly stretched, as if it was about to jump.

but...

What made Diancie take a step back unconsciously was that there was more than one stone sculpture in the entire grass.

She glanced around the circle.

A little further away, there is a stone sculpture of a little flaming lion, and next to it is what appears to be a rogue panda.

Further away, there are stone sculptures of other shapes placed randomly.

But without exception, they all look like Pokémon.

Moreover, his movements and expressions all looked frightened and timid.

It was summer, but Diancie felt a chill in her heart.

She was a very timid person to begin with, and found it difficult to accept the strange scene before her.

"Xiao Mu..."

"Let's go back, or the senior will be worried..."

Diancie whispered as she gently restored the brush that had been pulled aside.

She suddenly regretted coming to the upper world. If she had known she would see such a horrifying scene, she would have rather stayed underground.

Thinking of this, Diancie turned around, as if planning to return to her original place.

However...

Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes in the distance.

The trees shook as if something was about to escape.

In an instant, Diancie's nerves became tense.

She half-closed her eyes, stretched out her arms and pointed the ore in her arms towards the bushes, still saying:

"Xiao, Xiao Mu...I will protect you."

Although judging from the actions, these words are not convincing at all.

As a figure emerged from the bushes, Diancie felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Fortunately...

Not some scary creature.

The Pokémon that appeared was shaped like a big sword with a shield that shone with metallic luster in the middle.

Shield Sword Monster.

After Dianxi recognized the other person's identity, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This Pokémon has a fairly good relationship with Diamondback.

Whenever they have extra ore, they will ask the Shield Blade to help cut it off.

Finally seeing a powerful and relatively familiar Pokémon, Diancie smiled.

She took two steps, as if trying to get closer.

But at this moment, the Shield Sword Monster seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly pointed its shield in the direction in front of it.

Diancie couldn't help but feel strange when she saw this.

When Aegisblade is in shield form, its defensive capabilities are quite powerful.

But generally speaking, the opponent rarely sheathes his sword.

unless...

It is to meet an enemy that is countless times stronger than yourself.

"Boom!"

As soon as this thought came to mind, a loud roar sounded in the forest.

In front of Diancie's wide eyes, a thick dark red beam of light shot out from the bushes.

Then it hit the shield that the Shieldsword Monster had raised.

But the seemingly indestructible defense was of no use at this moment.

Two seconds later, the light beam gradually disappeared.

The Shield Sword Monster had already turned into a stone sculpture and fell straight onto the grass.

"Gudu——"

Diancie swallowed, feeling her brain tremble slightly.
