Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 188 Diancie and the Fairy Tablet

Unlimited energy?!

Seeing the puzzled look on Fangzhou's face, Diancie raised her head slightly, her face showing a look of reminiscence.

"You may not know much about my background," Tianxi said slowly, her long pink ribbons fluttering gently behind her without any wind.

"I come from a very special country—the Diamond Kingdom. There live many lovely and hardworking little diamonds, which form the foundation of the kingdom. And the core energy that sustains the existence and operation of the entire kingdom is an enormous 'Energy Diamond' containing infinite life and fairy power."

Fang Zhou nodded inwardly; this had been mentioned in the theatrical version of "The Cocoon of Destruction and Diancie".

"In our diamond-producing country, there is an ancient rule."

Diancie continued her narration, her voice echoing softly in the space filled with pink diamonds, carrying an epic solemnity.

"Every thousand years or so, a special little diamond in the kingdom will undergo an incredible mutation in its bloodline and energy, eventually transforming into a unique form."

"That is, me, Diancie."

"And the most important and sacred mission that each generation of Diancie bears upon birth is to use its powerful fairy power to personally condense a brand new and perfect 'energy diamond' at the core of the kingdom."

Tianxi's tone became solemn, "The energy provided by this diamond is enough to sustain the entire diamond-mining nation for a thousand years, until the next generation of Tianxi is born, takes over the mission, and condenses the next energy diamond. Thus, the cycle continues endlessly."

"In the traditions of diamond-mining countries," it paused, its gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of space to see its distant homeland.

"The newly born Diancie will be revered as a 'princess.' When she successfully condenses the energy diamond and truly shoulders the responsibility of protecting the kingdom's energy lifeline, she will be crowned as the unique 'Queen' of the entire Diamond Kingdom, leading all the little diamond citizens to use the great power of the energy diamond to build the kingdom into an even more prosperous and brilliant one."

Fang Zhou asked疑惑地问道, "If that's the case, wouldn't the diamond mining nation's energy supply be endless? Why bother searching for an unlimited energy source?"

A look of sadness and worry appeared on Diancie's face, a stark contrast to her appearance when she had just used her Stand ability to play Dou Dizhu.

"That's what I was just about to say. I'm getting old, and a new Diamond Princess has been born. However... due to some reasons, this generation's Diamond Princess has extremely low life force and cannot support the use of massive fairy power to condense energy diamonds."

Fangzhou was taken aback, then remembered Diancie from the movie, which must be the new Diamond Princess.

"There was another way, which was to seek out Xerneas, the god of life. He is the supreme being who governs the origin and flow of life, and together with Yveltal, who governs the end and extinction, they maintain the balance of life and death in the world. Xerneas's power might be able to replenish the new princess's missing life essence. Unfortunately, Xerneas is currently in a state of slumber."

Xerneas and Yveltal are locked in a struggle for supremacy; when one awakens, the other falls into slumber.

A determined look appeared on Diancie's face as she clenched her small fist. "Therefore, I must find an infinite energy source to support the operation of the Diamond Kingdom, at least until Xerneas awakens, or the next Diamond Princess is born."

"I already have an idea for unlimited energy. It's one of the eighteen attribute tablets left behind after the fall of Arceus, the creator god—the Fairy Tablet, symbolizing the fundamental laws of fairies! It contains the purest and most primal power of fairy laws, and it will surely become the most perfect and enduring energy core for the Diamond Kingdom!"

Diancie looked at the Ark and said, "Many years ago, I was on my way to find the Fairy Tablets when I met your grandfather. He helped me build this machine, which can be used to perform spatial jumps and move randomly to places with abundant energy. It is called the Seer."

It's Grandpa again?!

What the heck is this, Seer?

Fang Zhou's heart was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves!

Tianxi continued, "Unfortunately, after a certain number of jumps, it will return to rest and needs to recuperate for a month before it can set off again."

"In exchange, I will set Weibai Town as the origin of the warp. Each time I return to rest, I will return to Weibai Town. At the same time, I will use my power to convert the energy collected by the spaceship during the warp into a temporary mine with rich gem deposits, which will appear on the outskirts of Weibai Town. The townspeople can freely mine these gems. This is my small gift to the town that gave me a place to stay."

Fang Zhou, barely regaining his composure from the shock, caught a crucial point: "Wait, you said the energy collected by the spaceship during the jump was converted into gems in the mine? Couldn't that energy be used directly to supply the diamond-producing countries, even if only as a temporary measure?"

This time, before Diancie could answer, Meloetta, who had been listening quietly, spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of understanding: "It's not enough, Ark. While that energy might be enough to form an enticing mine for ordinary humans and Pokémon, it's merely a drop in the ocean for a diamond mining nation that needs to support the operation of its unique laws and maintain the existence of its entire race and kingdom. It cannot replace the most crucial energy source: diamonds."

Diancie nodded, agreeing with Meloetta's statement, "The reason why Arceus's Fairy Tablet is needed is also related to the responsibilities of the Diamond Mining Kingdom itself. It plays a role in the operation of this world that cannot be replaced by ordinary energy. This involves some laws of the world, and it's a long story."

"Speaking of which, your grandfather was a really interesting person. He probably taught me this way of playing the justice card because he was afraid that I would be too bored during the long and lonely cosmic jumps and rest periods."

At this, Diancie's eyes lit up noticeably, and her tone became much lighter. "It really added a lot of fun to my journey. I'm very grateful for everything your grandfather did back then."

It drifted closer, looked at Fang Zhou, and said sincerely, "Therefore, I will always remember this friendship. Fang Zhou, as his descendant, if you encounter any difficulties, I will do my best to help you. Please don't hesitate to ask."

Meloetta, standing nearby, pushed Kirlia, who was next to Ark, forward. "What a coincidence, Diancie! There's a child here who needs your help. It's currently on the verge of becoming Elite Four member, wanting to take the Queen's path—that's your area of ​​expertise, you know~"

Fangzhou nodded. "Please, Diancie."
