Chapter 686 Daigo Will Cry
The canopy of the primeval forest blocks out the sun, and sunlight can only filter through the gaps in the leaves to cast dappled spots of light.
Li Shuwen stared at the compass spinning wildly in his hand, the needle like a drunken butterfly, completely losing its direction.
"Interference from a natural magnetic field." Daigo crouched down, pressing his long, slender fingers against the moss-covered ground. "And it's very strong."
He stood up and threw the Poké Ball.
A flash of white light appeared, and the Metagross hovered in mid-air, its eyes glowing with a ghostly blue light.
After a moment of quiet contemplation, one of its eyes turned to Daigo, emitting a metallic spiritual wave.
"Underground," Daigo translated. "The magnetic field source is underground."
Li Shuwen closed his eyes, and the power of the waveguide seeped into the soil like mercury spilling onto the ground.
Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters—his consciousness touched a hollow space where something was breathing, pulsating, and radiating ancient and pure energy.
He opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips.
"Daigo, there are things you'll like underground."
Daigo's eyes lit up instantly: "What?"
"Diamond." Li Shuwen paused deliberately. "A very beautiful Diamond Pokémon."
"Small Diamonds!!!" Daigo's voice was almost a cheer, then he immediately realized his mistake, cleared his throat, and regained the composure of the Hoenn Champion, "Ahem... I mean, it's definitely worth seeing."
Without hesitation, he threw another Poké Ball: "Aggron, please."
The steel behemoth landed with a crash, and the ground trembled three times.
"Wandering around in a natural magnetic field will only make us dizzy." Daigo pointed to the ground. "Going directly into the magnetic field, through the non-magnetic passage, will restore the compass to normal. Bosscodora—"
He raised his hand and pointed:
"Dig a hole."
Bosscodora raised its massive arms, capable of shattering rocks, and slammed them down onto the ground!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each strike was like an earthquake; soil and rocks crumbled like tofu before it.
The passageway quickly descended, with the four people following closely behind.
The light overhead grew farther and farther away, the surrounding temperature began to drop, and the air was filled with dampness and the smell of minerals.
Aggron's final blow smashed through the rock layer, revealing a clear view.
"This is……"
Li Shuwen stood at the edge of the passage, looking at the world before him.
The vast underground cavern space stretches out in the darkness, but it is not pitch black.
Countless tiny crystals are embedded in the rock walls and dome, emitting a faint blue, pale purple, and emerald green light, enveloping the entire space in a dreamlike color.
Stalagmites grow from the ground, stalactites hang from the dome, some of which have connected to form huge stone pillars, their surfaces covered with crystal patterns accumulated over the years.
"So beautiful," Cynthia whispered.
Metagross floated forward, its four eyes flashing with calculating light.
A moment later, it moved a few steps in a certain direction and looked back at Daigo.
"Over there." Daigo took the lead.
They walked through a passage lined with stalagmites, with a naturally formed rock bridge beneath their feet and bottomless fissures on either side.
Occasionally, groundwater drips from the dome, creating a crisp echo in the silence.
Then--
roar--!!!
Two enormous figures burst forth from the darkness!
Pang Yan is strange!
The two giant rock monsters were like mobile fortresses, and the red crystals on their bodies shimmered with dangerous signals in the dim light!
They blocked the way and roared warnings.
Daigo didn't even stop walking.
"Metroid, with a powerful mind."
"Aggron, Cannon!"
The Metagross's invisible spiritual power, like a giant hand, gently lifted the Rock Monster on its left.
At the same instant, a silvery-white metallic beam condensed from Aggron's chest and accurately hit the giant rock monster on the right.
They were defeated cleanly and efficiently without damaging the environment.
The four continued onward, but hadn't gone far.
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
Four figures burst forth from the shadows in the corner! The giant turtle-footed armor brandished its thick tentacles, completely blocking their path!
There was no warning in their eyes, only hostility and a determination to tear the intruders apart.
Li Shuwen did not hesitate.
"Onion Soldier, Poison Skull Frog".
Two beams of white light exploded.
Four giant turtle-footed armored creatures pounced at the same time.
The giant armored turtles charged forward, and the giant armored turtles fell.
"They don't want us to go any further," Sabrina suddenly spoke, a faint blue light flashing in her eyes. "There's something very important ahead. We're being treated as intruders."
Daigo frowned: "Can't we communicate? We can explain—"
"No." Sabrina interrupted directly, the scene she perceived through her mental senses making her expression solemn. "Not long ago, another group of humans came. They stole an important companion and killed the Pokémon that tried to stop them."
"These giant armored warriors with precious feet watched helplessly as their companions were taken away, yet they were powerless to stop it."
Naz paused:
"They don't trust any humans now. And..." her voice trailed off, "the poachers will be back today."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Daigo clenched his fist: "Then we have even more reason to stop them—"
"If we go now, the Pokémon along the way will desperately try to stop us," Sabrina shook her head. "By the time we break through the defenses, the poachers will have already succeeded. But if we don't go..." She didn't finish her sentence.
Cynthia and Sabrina exchanged a glance, simultaneously understanding each other's thoughts.
But Daigo wasn't listening.
Those damn poachers, they're actually auctioning off tiny diamonds!
"Let's split into two groups," Cynthia suggested. "One group will distract the Pokémon along the way and lure them away. The other group will go directly to stop the poachers."
"Sure," Sabrina replied immediately, her tone as light as if she were arranging afternoon tea. "Daigo and I will be the bait."
Daigo: "???"
"Remember this," Sabrina turned to Li Shuwen and Cynthia, her expression turning serious again, "the poachers' target is a huge diamond deep underground. If they succeed—"
She paused.
"A disaster will occur in Kalos. Only by sacrificing the Pokémon that Steven cherishes most can purification be achieved."
Daigo's expression changed.
"So," Sabrina patted his shoulder, her smile returning, "we'll be the bait, drawing their fire. You guys go save the world—after all, if anything really happens to the little diamonds, Daigo's probably going to cry his eyes out."
"I won't cry myself unconscious!" Daigo protested.
But nobody paid him any attention.
Sabrina and Steven, along with Metagross and Aggron, deliberately made noise and ran towards another passage.
Soon, a rumbling sound of footsteps came from behind, attracting more than a dozen Rock-type Pokémon, who gave chase.
Taking advantage of the lull, Li Shuwen and Cynthia quietly slipped into the depths of the passage.
The further you go in, the brighter the light becomes.
It's not artificial light; it's the crystal's own glow.
The crystal clusters on the rock face became increasingly dense, and the rocks underfoot were gradually replaced by translucent minerals.
The air became crisp and clear, carrying a calming aura—pure fairy energy.
Until they saw a huge, standing pink diamond prism.
The Poké Ball at Li Shuwen's waist swayed gently.
The next second, the white light jumped out on its own.
The fairy spirit let out a pleasant chirp the moment it landed.
He took a deep breath, the ribbons around him fluttered merrily, and his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
The fairies discovered that cultivating here was 2.5 times more efficient than outside.
