Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

The sudden appearance of a human on a street filled with tiny diamonds is a major event for the inhabitants of this mineral-rich land.

At this moment, Su Hao and Little Diamond were standing blankly on the empty streets of the Mineral Kingdom. All the Little Diamonds who had been leisurely strolling and living here before had all gone into their homes.

Facing the empty streets, the little diamond that had brought Su Hao to the mineral kingdom remained calm, unfazed by being branded a traitor by its own kind. After all, it knew Su Hao possessed several trump cards...

Not long after Su Hao and Little Diamond descended into the Mineral Kingdom through the passage, the Little Diamond Guard, which was directly under Queen Diancie and exuded a powerful aura, arrived at the scene.

The leader of the little diamonds was surprisingly powerful, reaching the Heavenly King level. Its sharp eyes exuded a domineering aura that was completely inconsistent with its cute appearance.

It first scrutinized Su Hao for a few moments, a look of surprise flashing in its eyes. It hadn't expected that a human had actually arrived in the Mineral Kingdom during this period. However, whether this person was the one in question still needed Her Majesty the Queen to verify...

Then, the guard captain, Little Diamond, looked at Little Diamond leading the way beside Su Hao and frowned, saying, "Little Seven, when did you run away? And you brought back a human."

"Little Seven?"

Su Hao stared blankly at the tiny diamond at his feet. It even had a name? How come he'd never heard it mention one?

Xiao Qi glanced at Su Hao slyly, then said to the guard captain in a coquettish tone, "Big brother~ didn't I bring back a distinguished guest for the Mineral Kingdom?"

Next, Xiaoqi briefly recounted to the guard captain how it accidentally left the Mineral Kingdom, ran to the ground, was forced to Dynamax, and then met Su Hao, omitting a few minor details.

After a while.

The guard captain, Little Diamond, whom Xiao Qi called Big Brother, bowed slightly to Su Hao and said, "Hello, human from the outside world. I am the guard captain directly under the Queen. You can call me A-Yi. My sister thanks you for taking care of her during this time."

"Hello......"

Su Hao was a little confused. Normally, shouldn't the development at this point be that the little diamonds thought that Xiao Qi had betrayed them, and then they would surround and intercept it and the outsider Su Hao? Then he would reveal his own Diancie, and be invited into its castle by Queen Diancie in the shocked gaze of the little diamonds?

Why were these tiny diamonds so friendly to him, as if they had expected him to come?

Marshadow, appearing in the shadows, reminded him, "Don't worry about it now. Let's go and greet Queen Diancie first."

"Ah... okay." Su Hao nodded and directly asked A-Yi, "Captain A-Yi, I'm going to the Mineral Kingdom to pay my respects to Queen Diancie, may I...?"

Before Su Hao could finish speaking, A-Yi interrupted, "You want to see Her Majesty the Queen? Sure, come with me!"

As he spoke, A-Yi led the neatly arranged Little Diamond Guard Team ahead, as if to guide Su Hao.

Su Hao: "???"

Seriously, aren't you all going to try to pull things together? For example, you could use the excuse that "mere humans dare to dream of meeting Her Majesty the Queen" to launch an attack, and then drag out a few chapters of filler to show them how they're wrong...

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

Throughout his journey, even the sight of such a luxurious and brightly lit castle failed to stir any emotion in Su Hao's heart.

It's the land of Diancie and tiny diamonds, so that's normal.

My gaze swept over A-Yi and Xiao-Qi, who were bowing respectfully to the one on the throne, as well as the group of Little Diamond Guards.

.

In Su Hao's eyes, apart from her size, Diancie's appearance was almost identical to his own Diancie. Possessing an indescribable noble aura, Diancie sat upright on the jade throne, her pink eyes calmly scrutinizing Su Hao.

Before Su Hao, the data belonging to Queen Diancie slowly appeared.

Pokémon: Diancie

Attribute: [Rock + Fairy]

Gender: [None]

Characteristic: [Eternally Pure Body]

Rank: [Second-Tier Legendary]

Without a doubt, the person before them was Queen Diancie, the ruler of the vast mineral kingdom.

Before Su Hao could speak, Marshall appeared out of Su Hao's shadow, much to the surprise of A-Yi and the other members of the Little Diamond Guard.

Just as A-Yi was shocked that a Pokémon had managed to sneak past them all the way to the throne room, Marshadow spoke up: "Long time no see, Queen Diancie. The last time we met was during your coronation, wasn't it?"

Queen Diancie's eyes flashed with surprise. Under the puzzled gazes of the little diamonds, she rose and gave a slight bow to Marshadow: "Lord Marshadow, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?"

Marcia nodded slightly: "Not bad."

The two Mythical Pokémon confirmed their relationship through their conversation. In Queen Diancie's eyes, Marshadow was undoubtedly an even older predecessor than herself, which is why she was so respectful.

Xiao Qi, who was silently following behind Ah Yi and bowing, was dumbfounded.

Good heavens, little black dwarf... Marshall actually knows Her Majesty the Queen, and is even addressed as "Your Excellency" by Her Majesty!

Thankfully, I only harbored these thoughts in my mind during this time; it really scared Little Diamond to death!

Queen Diancie looked at Su Hao and asked, "Since Lord Marshadow is in this person's shadow, is he the current Rainbow Warrior or a candidate?"

There's one more thing Queen Diancie didn't say: according to the prophecy, the human she awaits is not the Rainbow Warrior.

“Not yet…” Marshado glanced at Su Hao guiltily. It had a feeling that the white dragon Reshiram was staring at it, so it quickly changed the subject and said, “I just came along. Su Hao has something to ask you now.”

It seemed that Marshadow and Queen Diancie had finished catching up, so Su Hao didn't waste any time and went straight to the point: "Queen Diancie, before that, I have a partner I would like to meet with you."

Queen Tianci nodded slightly: "Alright."

Su Hao's eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "Come out, Diancie!"

Chapter 696 The True and False Monkey King

Queen Diancie: "?"

Ah-Yi & Little Diamond Guard: "?"

Xiaoqi: (*≧▽≦)

Diancie: (〃"▽"〃)

The figure that emerged from the luxurious sphere that Su Hao carefully picked up seemed to possess its own silent domain, intimidating most of those present.

That was a Diancie who was almost identical to Queen Diancie in appearance, with only a few differences in details.

Queen Diancie's size is the same as described in the encyclopedia, around 0.7 meters tall, which can be considered petite. However, the Diancie that appeared in Su Hao's Deluxe Ball is so large that it would be an exaggeration to say that it was scaled up proportionally compared to Queen Diancie.

It's like the difference between a little girl and an adult woman.

Looking at this unfamiliar woman, who was undoubtedly of the same race as her and not a little diamond, Queen Diancie's eyes rarely rippled with emotion, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Meanwhile, A-yi and the other members of the Little Diamond Guard were much more shocked. Their small bodies kept turning around, looking at Queen Diancie one moment and then at Diancie the next, their pupils trembling wildly.

How can there be...two Queens Diancie?!

Over countless years, the little diamonds in the Mineral Kingdom have come to a consensus—Her Majesty the Queen is unique, and being chosen to become the new Diancie is their supreme honor.

However, this ironclad rule has been broken today.

That noble aura and magnificent appearance undoubtedly make her a genuine Diancie, not some clumsy imitation of a Pokémon that can transform.

The CPUs of the tiny diamonds burned out...

Unlike the silent or shocked Diancie Queen and the little diamonds, Diancie reacted much more actively. It curiously looked at Diancie Queen. It had learned of her existence from Su Hao and various legendary Pokémon a long time ago, but this was the first time it had actually met her.

However, this Queen Diancie did indeed match the image in its mind. Although she was small in stature, she exuded an aura of quiet authority, looking very noble like a queen. Diancie greatly admired this kind of Queen Diancie.

Queen Diancie gazed silently at Diancie, and in her, she saw herself when she had just succeeded to the throne.

Innocent and naive, unaware of the ways of the world.

Full of curiosity about everything around them, it is the most carefree period.

Like a mirror that connects the past and the future, Diancie reflects Queen Diancie's past, while Queen Diancie reflects the future that Diancie longs for.

Everything seemed to be out of place, as if time and space had been misplaced.

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

"I see. My kin were born from Lord Xerneas's origin... That's right. Only that lord with the fairy aura could once again perform the miracle that caused the first queen to mutate."

Queen Diancie, now back on her throne, looked at Diancie with a complex expression.

It explains how Su Hao's Diancie came into being, given that the Sacred Diamond didn't have enough power to create a second Diancie.

If it's the origin of Diancie, the first queen who shrouded herself in fairy aura when she was still a little diamond, then nothing is surprising to her anymore.

Su Hao, who had explained the origins of Diancie to Queen Diancie in a slightly more detailed way, nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Diancie is the reason we went to visit the Mineral Kingdom."

Queen Diancie nodded slightly, her tone unhurried, "Just call me Queen Diancie, no need to be so formal. Now I roughly understand why you've come. It's about the sacred diamond that now hangs over this mineral kingdom, isn't it?"

Su Hao and Diancie were startled and looked up at the top of Queen Diancie's head.

Driven by a mysterious force, the castle's dome slowly opened, revealing the view above the castle.

Su Hao then realized that the castle was located at the center of the Mineral Kingdom's dome, where a huge pink diamond surrounded by numerous diamonds of various shapes and radiating a mysterious glow was quietly floating above their heads.

Mingmingzhi

When they first entered the land of minerals, there were no sacred diamonds there.

Su Hao and Diancie said in unison, "This is the Sacred Diamond..."

Queen Tianci smiled and said, "I used some means to cover it up, after all, at the time I couldn't be sure of your intentions or whether you were the person I was waiting for."

"What kind of person are you waiting for...?"

Before Su Hao could voice his question, Marshadow, as if a beat late, let out a sharp, explosive sound, looking at Su Hao and Diancie in disbelief: "Aaaaaah! What did you just say? Diancie was born from Xerneas's origin!?"
