Chapter 486: Lucarioite
"Lucario, can we let go now? My arms are getting sour..."
Cynthia showed a pitiful expression.
"Mm."
Will nodded.
He withdrew his Aura that had permeated into the Sacred Diamond.
However, something that made his heart tremble happened.
A portion of natural energy actually coiled up, following Will's Aura and detaching from the Sacred Diamond together!
Clatter.
Will took his hand away, looking somewhat blankly at the two small stones that fell onto his hand.
Subsequently, his eyes gradually widened, but his pupils shrank slightly.
The natural energy from the Sacred Diamond that closely followed his Aura out, actually condensed into two stones in an instant after leaving the Sacred Diamond!
One Mega Stone and one Key Stone!
"Aren't these the rainbow small stones we saw at Professor Sycamore's place? I remember there should be an ore vein of this kind of stone near the underground world."
Cynthia brought her head closer, staring curiously.
Diancie and Majima beside also bounced over, looking at Will with unbelievable gazes.
"Yes, a small portion of the natural energy in the Sacred Diamond ran out following my Aura. I originally thought they would dissipate or flow into my body, but I didn't expect them to condense into stones."
Will sized up the two stones in his hand.
The crescent moon mark in one of the stones was pure black; it could be judged that this one was the Key Stone used to resonate with the Mega Stone.
And the other Mega Stone...
The crescent moon mark inside it was alternating red and blue.
And Lucario's Mega Stone, exactly has an alternating red and blue crescent moon.
Of course, there is more than just the Lucarioite among Mega Stones with alternating red and blue colors.
But...
This burst of natural energy was born following him.
And he is a Lucario.
Then if this Mega Stone is not a Lucarioite, that would instead seem bizarre.
So...
Will looked at this Mega Stone and swallowed his saliva.
"Why can Will mobilize the energy inside the Sacred Diamond?"
Diancie turned her head to look at Majima.
This was completely different from the knowledge Majima had imparted to her in the past.
"I don't know either! According to what the previous Her Highness the Princess stated, the energy of the Sacred Diamond can only be mobilized by its creator, otherwise even the contemporary Her Highness the Princess cannot mobilize it!"
Majima shook his head in panic.
His current mood was about the same as Diancie's.
Because this matter was also learned from the previous Her Highness the Princess.
Majima had always firmly believed in this.
"Diancie, have you not tried to mobilize the energy inside this diamond?"
"I have tried, I just can't mobilize it."
"Strange."
Will frowned.
Diancie, as the Princess of the Diamond Domain, couldn't even use the Sacred Diamond created by a Diancie of the same species.
Why could he?
Is it a problem with Aura Power?
No.
Rather than saying he could control the natural energy in the Sacred Diamond.
It would be better to say these energies sought him out themselves, flowing around following his Aura themselves.
Just like those Water-type and Dragon-type Pokémon who wanted to throw themselves at him upon seeing him.
"Could it be because of Aura Power?"
Diancie looked at Majima doubtfully.
"Impossible! It's not like our Diamond Domain hasn't had Aura Guardians serving as Elders in the past; Aura Power cannot mobilize the energy in the Sacred Diamond, this is something that has already been tried."
Majima firmly shook his head.
"Then that means, only my Lucario can do it? Hehe, Lucario is really awesome~"
Cynthia smilingly reached out to hug Will.
"So hot."
Will pretended to be disgusted and pushed Blonde-kun away.
But he wasn't lying either.
The temperature of the Diamond Domain itself was high, and he also had thick long fur on his body; it was indeed very hot.
He even wanted to stick his tongue out.
"These two stones are also different."
Cynthia was pushed away, and brought her head over again, closely examining the stones in Will's hand.
She noticed the difference in the crescent moon marks within them.
Earlier at Professor Sycamore's laboratory, she had already noticed that many crescent moon marks inside the rainbow stones had some differences in color.
While some had uniformly black crescent moon marks.
What does this represent?
"Mm."
Will nodded gently, then put them together with the diamond he just received into his backpack.
Better deal with these things after leaving.
"Why I can mobilize the energy inside the Sacred Diamond, this is not the main point. After all, with the current lifespan of the Sacred Diamond,
I wouldn't dare to use it casually in the future."
Will raised his hand and pointed at the huge pink diamond in front of him,
"The top priority now is to see if the lifespan of the Sacred Diamond has decreased? Diancie, can you check?"
A bit of natural energy ran out just now.
Don't know how big of an impact it has on the Sacred Diamond.
Will estimated this impact shouldn't be big; after all, that tiny bit of natural energy might be less than one millionth of the internal energy of the Sacred Diamond.
"Mm."
Diancie nodded, reached her hand towards the Sacred Diamond, closed her eyes and perceived for a moment, and after a while,
"No change; maybe there is, but I can't detect it."
"Phew."
Will, Cynthia, and Majima all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
That's good.
Didn't expect.
Making a trip to the Diamond Domain would actually yield such an unexpected pleasant surprise.
"Majima, I want to go watch Will and Cynthia's competition."
At this time Diancie turned her head to look at Majima, her tone carrying a hint of apprehension.
"Then go."
Majima tilted his head doubtfully.
Didn't he already allow Her Highness the Princess to go out and play following Lord Will?
"Then don't keep having the Carbink urge me to go home; it's very disturbing to others."
"I didn't urge Her Highness the Princess to go home, I was just confirming your safety."
"That is disturbing! Disturbing Monet!"
"Then that's truly impolite; what should be done about this?"
A distressed look appeared in Majima's eyes.
Anyway, he must confirm Her Highness the Princess's safety every day, only then could he feel at ease.
"It's fine, we have this."
Cynthia took out a small black block from Will's backpack.
"What is this?"
Majima brought his head over, his eyes full of doubt.
"I know! This is a thing called a telephone! Using this, even if separated by a long distance, you can communicate!"
Diancie excitedly bounced out to introduce.
It's rare to have something Majima doesn't know and she knows; she must tell Majima loudly!
"That means, I can also contact Lady Diancie in the Diamond Domain?"
Majima's eyes suddenly lit up.
Haven't gone out for decades, have humans already developed to this extent?
A small block.
Can achieve this kind of amazing communication?
"No no no, this still can't be done."
Will beside hurriedly reached out and waved his hand.
Under the existing science and technology and engineering capabilities of humans, it is still impossible to achieve real-time calls between ten thousand meters underground and the surface.
Radio waves like those of mobile phones will be quickly absorbed and scattered when penetrating dense strata.
The Diamond Domain located 10,000 meters underground has already exceeded the penetration capability limit of existing radio technology.
So wanting to contact Diancie on the surface without leaving home is impossible.
"? Then what use is it?"
Majima disappointedly drooped his two rabbit ears.
"Although it cannot let you penetrate thick strata to contact us, as long as you run to the surface, then no matter how far apart, you can directly contact Cynthia. When the time comes, Cynthia just needs to hand the phone to Diancie."
"Oh~" x2
Diancie and Majima exclaimed at the same time.
"Will, so smart! Simply supremely intelligent!"
"No, should say a great mind looks foolish!"
Will's cheek twitched, and subsequently taught Majima how to use it.
"Great, this way I can go watch Will and Cynthia's competition."
Diancie bounced up happily.
But this time not pouncing towards Will, but pouncing towards Cynthia.
Smack.
How could Cynthia be a match for Diancie; she was instantly tackled to the ground. Saying it didn't hurt at all is definitely impossible.
But she wasn't angry either, hugging Diancie and chuckling.
This gentle and tolerant attitude towards Pokémon is probably Cynthia's EX-rank Anti-Pokémon Noble Phantasm.
"Please be careful on the road. When returning, might have to trouble the Elder and Lady Cynthia to send Her Highness the Princess back."
"Mm, no problem."
Will nodded.
The purpose of coming to the Diamond Domain has been achieved.
They can leave.
"Cynthia, let's go."
"Mm mm, let's go quickly."
Cynthia hurriedly nodded.
This kind of underground environment is still not too friendly to them.
Coming for a few hours to look around, they are definitely willing.
After all, it cannot be denied.
The Diamond Domain is very beautiful; these pure diamonds are an enjoyment even just to look at and touch.
But asking them to stay overnight here, that's truly too uncomfortable.
"I'm going too, I'm going too."
Diancie hurriedly bounced and stuck to them.
"Diancie doesn't plan to stay home for a few days? We can rest in Ambrette Town for a few days waiting for you."
Will reached out and patted her little head.
"Have lived here for over two thousand years, what's good to stay for; I don't want to stay even one more day."
Diancie shook her head decisively.
Hearing these words, Majima beside almost kneeled on the ground directly from heartache.
"Okay, then you just come with us. Majima, can I ask you to send someone to lead the way? If we can take a somewhat spacious road, that would be great."
Will nodded.
"Of course, Elder. But this time I'll personally see you out."
Majima turned around to lead the way, then added,
"When you come again next time, for this kind of small matter, you can completely just order other Carbink directly; they can recognize you."
"What do the Carbink rely on to recognize me?"
"Every Elder has touched the Sacred Diamond, and creatures that have touched the Sacred Diamond will have a special fluctuation on them; that kind of fluctuation can only be perceived by us."
Majima said without turning his head.
Entering a tunnel familiarly and directly.
Don't know how they distinguish where these tunnels lead to.
Carbink truly are a magical Pokémon.
