My Country and Princess Diancie
That night,
The elder and Agatha were back.
From the slightly raised eyebrows on the elder's face and the faint smile on Agatha's lips, Bruce understood that the matter was resolved.
Although the elder did not take the initiative to recount the details of this battle, a championship-level battle must have been extraordinary and instantaneous.
"After January 29th, let them come," the elder said slowly, sitting in the office.
"Them?" Bruce was a little surprised.
The elder raised his eyebrows, stroked his beard, and then said with a smile, "They are members of our Bayne family."
"Now that the Diamond Forest belongs to the Bayne family, it's time to gradually develop it."
"But this is no delicate matter; the invasion must be completely resolved first."
Bruce asked curiously, "How will it develop?"
The elder smiled faintly and said slowly, "It is to let the members of our family take over the current patrol work of the police guards and not interfere with other things."
Bruce nodded thoughtfully. It's impossible for the security guards to be stationed here every day; there will always come a time when they leave.
The elder had a pleasant tone and then added, "The Diamond Forest is different from the usual large-scale Breeder bases. The Pokemon inside have formed the most complete ecosystem over thousands of years, and we don't need to intervene too much."
"Just set up a Pokemon Center in the Diamond Forest to handle the rescue of wild Pokemon and also serve as a resting place.
This is essentially the same as a wildlife rescue station.
"As for the other details, we'll need your mother to come in person. She's a professional, so she must have a wealth of unique knowledge," the elder continued.
It was the first time the Bayne family had dealt with something like this, so naturally, they wanted to do their best in every aspect.
The more careful you are at the beginning, the fewer problems you'll face later.
"If things go well, next year the novice trainers from our Bayne family will be able to conquer their starter Pokemon in the Diamond Forest."
"At that time, each novice trainer will have the opportunity to enter the Diamond Forest, during which I will ensure the Pokemon inside do not attack the trainer."
"Each novice trainer will use their own means to subdue their initial Pokemon." The elder smiled cheerfully, his eyes full of anticipation.
It seems that taming starter Pokemon this way is much more troublesome than the usual method, but the quality of the Pokemon is significantly higher—much better than in ordinary breeder houses.
If the next generation of highly qualified Psychic-type Pokemon inhabits the Diamond Forest, then it is highly likely that their excellent lineage will flourish throughout the Diamond Forest, giving rise to many high-quality Pokemon.
It might even be possible to carry out professional breeding and hatching, but such professional matters can only be entrusted to the breeder's family.
"Grandfather, what about Diancie?" Bruce asked aloud.
As a Legendary Pokemon (Mythical), there's no need to describe the immense value of Diancie.
Hearing Bruce's question, the elder pondered for a moment and then said in a hoarse voice, "Diancie… To be honest, I haven't figured out how to approach it."
"I checked literature databases from various parts of the world and found that there are very few records about Diancie," Agatha interjected, adjusting her glasses.
"In the unified written records, it is only mentioned that Diancie is a mythical Pokemon capable of continuously producing diamonds through compressed air carbon elements."
"When we first encountered Diancie, we didn't witness its ability to make diamonds, and we know little about its specific information," the elder interrupted.
"It's just that in the cave filled with Carbink, there are indeed countless purple diamonds," Agatha added.
"That's unimaginable wealth," the elder said in a deep voice, his eyes narrowing.
"Diancie, capable of creating diamonds, is destined to attract countless greedy gazes."
When the elder said this, Bruce remembered something key.
It's true that Diancie can create diamonds, but it seems there are prerequisites for the diamonds to exist forever.
In the anime version, Princess Diancie could only create temporary diamonds at first, and only later could she create eternal diamonds.
"What are the prerequisites?"
"Getting stronger?"
"Learning Diamond Storm?"
"Still undergoing Mega Evolution?"
Since his memory was a bit distant, Bruce couldn't recall the prerequisites clearly, but he only remembered that creating an eternal diamond wasn't a simple matter.
"Let's go to the Diamond Cave tomorrow to see Diancie," the elder said in a deep voice.
After saying this, he turned his head to look at Bruce and said with a smile, "Bruce, are you interested in coming along?"
Bruce nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I'm interested."
Naturally, Bruce wouldn't miss the opportunity to see what's considered the most beautiful Pokemon in the world.
The next day,
At dawn.
Compared to previous trips into the Diamond Forest, this time's transportation was much more luxurious.
A helicopter.
The deafening sound of the churning rotor blades echoed in his ears as Bruce sat in his seat, gazing at the mountains.
From high above, looking down at the land revealed another majestic and magnificent landscape.
At this moment, it reflected the benefits of owning a Flying-type Pokemon.
More than an hour later, the helicopter flew deep into the Diamond Forest and landed steadily in an open space.
The propellers stirred up layers of airwaves, the surrounding winds roared, and flowers and plants fluttered.
The three jumped off the helicopter and walked forward.
"This is deep within the Diamond Forest."
"The Diamond Cave is here," the elder said leisurely.
The three walked for about half an hour when a dark cave suddenly appeared in view.
"Enter through this cave, then descend to the bottom, and you'll reach the Diamond Cave."
"Let's go."
The three entered the cave without hesitation, and a dazzling light radiated on its own to illuminate the path ahead.
The journey was peaceful, but Agatha smiled slightly, recounting interesting stories about her last visit to the Diamond Cave to lighten the atmosphere.
Finally, the three quickly descended deep enough, and the real Diamond Cave... No, more precisely, the underground mining country, gradually appeared in view.
Looking around, countless crystals complemented each other, forming a soul-stirring brilliance.
The Carbinks were working hard in the cave, digging up new minerals to provide sustenance for their companions.
And deep within the mining land, a massive pink diamond was suspended in the air, with pink light shining around it, providing an energy source for the mining land.
Seeing the figures of the three, Carbink jumped one after another, surrounding them and whispering among themselves.
Not long after, a white-bearded Carbink appeared in front of the three and bowed slightly to the elder with solemn eyes: "King John Bayne."
The temperament of this Carbink was completely different from that of the others, radiating stability from within.
Friend, Carbink still knows when—
Bruce was slightly surprised when he heard this.
And this Carbink could actually speak the human language?
At the same time, a trace of surprise crossed Roy's brows as she closely followed.
She is so intelligent that she hasn't even learned the human language. How could this little one know it?
"Minister of instruction! Minister of instruction!"
"Who is coming?"
Suddenly, a lively and charming voice rang out not far away, and the surrounding Carbinks, upon hearing this voice, immediately made way.
Diancie was active and lively, with a round pink diamond on her head, a diamond crown atop her head, a necklace of pink diamonds around her neck, a white dress made of diamonds, and pink raw diamonds at the bottom of her body.
[Pokemon: Diancie (Rock/Fairy)
Ability: Pure Body
Qualification: Legendary
Level: Lv 43 (Ace)]
Seeing Diancie's data panel, Bruce's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes remained fixed on the qualification column.
Legendary qualification...
This was the first Pokemon with a legendary qualification Bruce had seen so far.
But Diancie was no ordinary Pokemon; she was a mythical Pokemon whose level of life was higher than ordinary Pokemon.
The so-called legendary level is a level beyond the ordinary.
The ordinary is common.
According to Bruce's understanding, the legendary level is almost a level exclusively belonging to Legendary Pokemon, and the number of ordinary Pokemon that have achieved the legendary level from ancient times to the present is fewer than two hands.
Of course, these are the positive-side data.
Thus, compared to the legendary level, the champion level is an entirely different concept, vastly distinct.
Mastering Legendary Pokemon is equivalent to possessing strategic nuclear weapons.
"Is it just that this Diancie's level is a bit low?"
"Could it be that she's still in her infancy?" Bruce squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
After seeing the elder's figure, Diancie closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and bowed slightly.
"King John Bayne."
Diancie's voice softly sounded in the minds of the three.
This is telepathy, the same ability Roy has.
But Roy had to learn it, and Diancie was born with it.
After that, Diancie opened her eyes and gazed at Bruce with her large, round, red eyes, doubt in her gaze, and smiled faintly: "Hello, friend I am meeting for the first time."
"Hello, I am Diancie."
Bruce returned the smile and said, "Hello, Princess Diancie, I am Bruce Bayne."
Upon hearing Bruce's words, Diancie's eyes visibly lit up, and she subconsciously adjusted the hem of her skirt, a holy smile on her face.
"I like you a lot," Diancie said, "I permit you to be my friend."
"Bruce." She called Bruce's name again.
Clearly, Diancie was pleased with how Bruce addressed her.
She is Princess Diancie, the only princess in the mining country.
