Will and the other two stayed in Cyllage City for a few more days,
visiting all the famous scenic spots nearby, and then returned towards Ambrette Town.
There was no helping it.
Majima went to the monitoring station to find Monet eighteen tis a day, asking when Her Highness the Princess would return and whether she was safe during these past few hours.
At first, Monet could casually deal with it with a few words.
Later on, she was truly annoyed beyond bearing.
She could only contact Cynthia and ask them to bring Diancie back.
After knowing she had to go back, Diancie's face seed to have completely lost its smile, sulking all day long.
It looked like she was going back to make Majima guess (what's wrong).
"There will be chances to co out in the future."
Cynthia spoke to comfort her.
"But who knows when that will be, and, the next ti I co out, can I still play together with Will and Cynthia?"
"Um..."
A look of hesitation appeared on Cynthia's face.
Who knows how long it will be before they co to the Kalos region again next ti.
"Wuwu..."
Seeing Cynthia didn't give a promise or anything, Diancie was about to break down instantly.
She hates Majima.
"Didn't you want to take us to be guests in the Diamond Domain? We've morized how to get there; when we co to Kalos again next ti, we'll go find you."
Will reached out and patted the crown on her head.
"Oh, right! After you guys co, Majima will definitely also agree to let go out and play with you, after all Will is an Aura Guardian!"
Diancie, who had just started crying out loud, retracted her tears before they were even squeezed out, and a smile blossod on her face again.
The next mont.
"However, if Diancie goes back now, you won't be able to watch our competition."
With one sentence.
Cynthia knocked Diancie's expression right back.
"I don't want to go back! I want to watch the competition!"
Diancie reached out and hugged Will's big tail,
Instantly Will couldn't move from his spot; if he forced himself to walk, the root of his tail hurt sharply.
If Diancie didn't want to go back.
He really had no way to force her back.
Couldn't beat her in strength.
"Just go back and tell Majima and then co out again; if you don't go back like this, he might send a huge bunch of Carbink out to find you again."
"Really? Will, you won't trick into going ho and then ditch and elope with Cynthia, right?"
"No."
Will helplessly reached out, pressing his hand on the face of Diancie who was about to jump up.
"Hehe, you promised ."
Only then did Diancie let go of his tail, bouncing forward, and even turned her head to urge,
"Hurry up, Will, Cynthia."
Smack!
Just with this one turn of the head.
Diancie directly did a flat ground fall.
But for her with a hard body, perhaps the earth took more damage.
"Hehe, this child."
Cynthia couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling, then hurriedly went up and helped her up.
Will shook his head helplessly.
Advancing while playing around.
Under Diancie's deliberate dawdling.
The journey that would originally take one or two days to arrive, actually took five days to finish walking.
The Carbink had already treated the monitoring station as their ho.
Finally.
The Carbink could see their eagerly anticipated Her Highness the Princess today.
But this ti.
When Will and the others had just stepped into the forest near Ambrette Town.
There were Carbink wandering nearby who bounced out to welco them; that excited look when seeing Diancie was as if they saw an idol.
"Mishi mishi!"
"Mm, take back."
Diancie nodded calmly with quite a princess deanor.
This ti the road they took wasn't the one that required passing through the underground world, so there was no need to inform Monet's side in advance either.
Under the guidance of the Carbink.
They took a road outside Ambrette Town that led directly to the Diamond Domain.
However, this road was quite narrow and dark; not particularly friendly to relatively tall creatures like Will and Cynthia.
Fortunately, they eventually squeezed their way into the Diamond Domain.
"Welco back, Your Highness the Princess. Welco to the Diamond Domain, Lord Will, Lady Cynthia."
Majima welcod them at the exit of the passage.
However, Will and Cynthia didn't have ti to respond, but were attracted by the sight before them.
The Diamond Domain.
Is truly a place covered with beautiful crystals everywhere.
"Those are diamonds?"
Will reached out and pointed at those crystal-clear crystals.
"Yes! Those are pure diamonds created by the energy of the Sacred Diamond."
Majima turned his head and took a glance, nodded, and then responded regretfully,
"It's a pity there is no way for you to take so back, because that kind of diamond needs the energy of the Sacred Diamond to maintain,
Once they reach a position above 5000 ters underground, these pure diamonds will gradually turn into carbon elents."
"This thing is an existence similar to energy or food for you guys, right."
Will guessed a bit.
Diancie said before.
Once the energy of the Sacred Diamond is insufficient, then the Diamond Domain will be destroyed.
And it had appeared in the ani.
After the lifespan of the Sacred Diamond ended, these crystals of the Diamond Domain also gradually headed towards destruction, and the entire Diamond Domain beca dim and lightless.
Under this kind of environnt.
The Diamond Domain will soon usher in destruction, and the Carbink will lose their ho.
"Yes."
Majima nodded.
"No wonder Diancie was so anxious."
Cynthia scanned this beautiful world.
If it were destroyed just like this, it would truly be too much of a pity.
"I have a question I want to ask. The environnt and pressure here, aren't they a bit abnormal?"
Will raised his hand and waved it in the surrounding space.
The temperature and pressure were on the high side.
But still within a tolerable range.
Will had already noticed it when coming down earlier.
At a certain mont arriving thousands of ters underground, the gravity they bore, the temperature of the surrounding environnt, and the oxygen suddenly beca much more comfortable.
This is clearly abnormal.
Because.
This is ten thousand ters underground.
Placed on the Blue Planet.
This location is an absolute life forbidden zone.
Furnace-like high temperature, the high pressure of ten thousand Eiffel Towers, near-zero oxygen content...
Pulling any one of them out is enough to make humans leave their lives here.
But.
None of these exist in the Diamond Domain.
Will didn't doubt that he and Cynthia could co to the Diamond Domain.
After all, Diancie also said before:
The Diamond Domain has also had Aura Guardians and foreign Pokémon serving as Elders in the past.
Then this ans, the Diamond Domain is absolutely a place humans and other Pokémon can set foot in.
Ash's group coming here in the movie didn't show any discomfort either.
It's just.
How was this peculiar environnt born?
Is the underground of the Pokémon world inherently like this.
Or is it that only the Diamond Domain is like this.
"That's because of the power of the Sacred Diamond, da!"
Majima turned around while speaking.
Looked like he planned to take Will and Cynthia to personally go see what the Sacred Diamond looked like.
"I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way!"
Diancie pulled Majima back.
Then took Will's and Cynthia's hands herself and walked forward.
Having been led by Will and Cynthia for so long, it was finally her turn.
"Okay, then Your Highness the Princess, you will act as the vanguard pawn."
"..." x2
Will's and Cynthia's expressions were sowhat hard to maintain.
"The power of the Sacred Diamond is the source that allows the Diamond Domain to exist. It can absorb and convert geothermal energy, creating endless pure crystals..."
Majima walked behind the three and continued his science popularization.
When Carbink passed by on the side.
They would actively greet Diancie and Majima; one bouncing rabbit head after another looked very cute.
Through Majima's explanation.
They understood the existence of the entire Diamond Domain.
The pure diamonds created by the Sacred Diamond are not just what they see before their eyes.
The entire Diamond Domain is covered by a diamond do and pillar network composed of pure diamonds, forming a powerful structural force field, evenly distributing, guiding, and even partially offsetting the trillion-ton pressure of the surrounding rock layers, propping up a low-pressure space suitable for life inside.
Not only that.
These pure diamonds can also carry out a process similar to photosynthesis but more efficient by absorbing minerals in the soil,
Continuously releasing oxygen and purifying the air.
And this.
Constitutes a nearly perfect closed life cycle system.
This is also why it's said.
The destruction of the Sacred Diamond will lead to the destruction of the Diamond Domain.
The Diamond Domain can also be considered a great miracle of the Pokémon world.
"Almost there."
Diancie spoke a sentence at this ti.
"Mm, I can tell."
Will nodded.
That shining pink light at the end of the road that could be called blinding.
And the natural energy so majestic that Will didn't even need to use Aura Power to perceive it.
These two things.
Are enough to show they are about to arrive at the location of the Sacred Diamond.
"It's right ahead!"
Diancie's words fell.
A huge pink diamond suspended in mid-air erged in front of Will and Cynthia.
"Wow~"
Cynthia was directly dumbfounded.
"Um, even more stunning than I imagined."
Will also couldn't help widening his eyes.
Originally he thought he wouldn't be too surprised; after all, he already knew the rough appearance from the ani.
But truly seeing that Sacred Diamond, so clear that one's line of sight could penetrate through to see the other side, he still uncontrollably felt stunned.
"Of course, after all, this Sacred Diamond carries incomparably heavy hope and weight."
Majima nodded heavily.
Looking at the Sacred Diamond in front of him, tears had already erged in his two swollen little eyes.
"Indeed."
Will nodded.
It can be said.
This Sacred Diamond is the life of the entire Diamond Domain.
Once it's destroyed.
Then where should the Carbink go?
The Carbink who have lived underground for tens of thousands of years, how long will it take them to find a suitable way to survive on the surface.
Human greed.
Pokémon hunting.
Difficult-to-adapt environnts.
Even if they don't go extinct in the future, the number might drop sharply.
"I... must create a new Sacred Diamond before the Diamond Domain is destroyed."
Diancie let go of their hands, stepped forward and looked up at that huge diamond, her eyes full of complexity,
"At all costs."
