Chapter 692 Daigo almost fainted
Li Shuwen took out a high-energy supplement, drank six bottles in one go, and nodded slightly: "Thank you for the compliment."
Zygard remained silent for a moment.
Then he spoke up: "The order of the ley lines in the Carlos region needs someone to help maintain it. Are you interested...?"
"Wait," Cynthia interrupted, her brow furrowing slightly. "We helped you handle such a huge crisis, saved Diancie, repaired the Holy Diamond, and shattered that monster formed from evil—"
She looked at Kirgerd:
"You're not only not paying us, but you also want us to work for free?"
"Even legendary Pokémon can't be this shameless, can they?"
Zygard: "..."
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
After all, what she said... did seem to make sense.
After a moment of silence, Zigeld lifted his forefoot and gently stomped it down.
The earth cracked open, and a yellow gem rose from the crack.
The gemstone was crystal clear, with golden light flowing inside, radiating a warm and profound energy.
"This is the essence of the earth's ley lines." Zygarde pushed the gem towards Cynthia. "Garuda will gain considerable benefits from eating it."
Cynthia took the gem, feeling the immense energy it contained, and nodded in satisfaction.
Then Zigeld looked at Li Shuwen.
He remained silent for a moment, then a beam of emerald light flew out from his body, landing on the back of Li Shuwen's hand and turning into a faint leaf-like mark.
"This is..." Li Shuwen looked at the back of his hand.
"Go find Xerneas," Zygarde said. "With this mark, he will give you the life energy that is most suitable for you."
Li Shuwen nodded.
After the mark carrying the power of Zygarde entered Li Shuwen's body, Li Shuwen immediately felt his tired body become more coordinated.
It can absorb a small amount of energy from its surroundings.
Zygard then looked at Daigo and Sabrina.
Steven was crouching not far from Diancie, gazing at the tiny Pokémon with an almost reverent look, muttering to himself, "So beautiful...so perfect...this is what I've been searching for..."
Naz stood to the side, sighing and rubbing her forehead.
Zygard manipulated the ley lines to create two narrow fissures, from which two gems rose.
"Metamorphosis and Alakazam's Mega Stones." Zygarde pushed the two gems toward Steven and Sabrina respectively.
Daigo struggled to look away from Diancie and stared at the silver-gray stone.
"Mega Stone... Metagross's... Mega Stone...!!!"
His hands trembled as he accepted the gem.
Naza accepted the dark purple gem and nodded slightly: "That's more like it."
Zigeld took one last look at the devastated cavern.
It turned into a streak of green light and disappeared into the air.
Only one sentence lingered in the air.
"Human, I will remember you."
The cave became quiet.
Diancie slowly opened her eyes.
My body swayed slightly, and I almost fell.
Daigo practically leaped over and caught her, "Dianci! How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? Do you need anything?"
Tianxi was somewhat bewildered by his barrage of questions.
"...Still alive," she said softly.
But she knew it was only temporary.
Diancie lowered her head, looking at her dull, lifeless diamond body.
"My life force... is running out," it whispered. "I might... not live for more than a few years."
Daigo's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"No..." he murmured, "There must be some way..."
Tianxi shook her head.
"It's alright." Diancie's voice was as calm as if she were talking about someone else. "The Sacred Diamond was damaged because of the severed ley lines, and it needs a healthy Diancie to rebuild it."
"This is a more important task!"
Tianxi raised her head and looked at Li Shuwen.
"Human," it said, "can you help me?"
Li Shuwen looked at Tianxi.
"Help me guide the birth of the second Diancie." Diancie's eyes held no sadness, only a sense of entrustment. "This is the responsibility of the guardian of the Sacred Diamond. It must be completed before I... depart."
Li Shuwen remained silent for a moment.
Then he nodded.
"it is good."
……
A night's rest.
The next day, as sunlight streamed into the cave through the cracks in the dome, Diancie summoned all the tiny diamonds.
They were arranged in a circle, with a fairy egg in the center.
The blue fairy egg gleamed with a faint luster; it was the child that a tiny diamond had just conceived.
Diancie walked up to the egg.
She reached out and gently pressed her hand on the eggshell.
Close your eyes.
Sensing Diancie's call, the enormous pink diamond began to glow.
A pink beam of light shone directly onto the egg.
At the same time, Diancie's own body began to glow.
That was the vitality that Diancie retained.
She channeled everything she had left into light and poured it into the egg.
The pink light grew brighter and stronger.
The egg, which was originally blue, began to change color. It turned from blue to light pink, from light pink to deep pink, and from deep pink to a crystal-clear, diamond-like pink.
Then--
Click!
A thin crack appeared in the eggshell.
An even stronger light burst forth from the crack.
The eggshell burst open, transforming into a sky full of starlight.
Amidst the starlight, a tiny figure slowly took shape.
She wasn't much bigger than a regular small diamond, but her tiny body was made of sparkling pink diamonds.
Little Tianxi opened her eyes.
Those were pure eyes, without any impurities.
She saw Tianxi.
"babble……"
Tianxi smiled.
That smile held relief, contentment, reluctance, and a sense of entrustment.
She reached out and gently stroked the little Tianxi's head.
"You must...grow up well." Her voice grew softer and weaker, "Protect the Sacred Diamond...protect this land...protect everyone..."
Tianxi raised her head and looked at Li Shuwen.
"Human," it said, "I beg you... guide her, let her know what it means to protect, what responsibility is, what..."
Before Diancie could finish speaking, her body began to turn into specks of light.
Those pink, crystalline specks, like the purest diamond powder, drifted from her body and merged into the sacred diamond.
"During this time..." Diancie's last conscious thought murmured, "The remaining energy of the Sacred Diamond... you may use it as you see fit..."
Then, Diancie transformed into a sky full of stars.
The little Diancie reached out her tender hand, trying to grasp the starlight.
"Ee... Ee..."
She didn't know what had happened.
All she knew was that the being that had just been stroking her, radiating a warm light...
gone!
Daigo stood still, motionless.
My legs went weak, and I almost fainted.
His Diancie was so big, and just like that... it was gone!
He looked at the fading starlight, at the bewildered little Diancie, and his eyes reddened slightly.
"...I will protect her," he said softly, as if making a vow. "I definitely will!"
Li Shuwen stepped forward and squatted down in front of the little Diancie.
He stretched out his hand.
Little Tianxi looked at him, somewhat scared and hesitant.
Li Shuwen radiated a gentle light, making Xiaodianxi feel at ease.
Little Tianxi stretched out her tiny hand and placed it in Li Shuwen's palm.
Li Shuwen gently grasped it.
"Hello, Diancie," he said. "I will take responsibility for teaching you how to protect everyone."
Little Tianxi blinked.
She didn't know what to learn.
But she knew that this hand was very warm.
This is enough.
