I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon-Chapter 1390: Diancie vs. Sableye

In the darkness, the three Carbink servants were both shocked and puzzled. How had the Sacred Diamond suddenly been depleted of its energy? This shouldn't have been possible!

No matter what, they needed to check the current condition of the Sacred Diamond first.

With that thought, the three Carbink servants simultaneously used the move Flash. Brilliant light emanated from the diamond-encrusted parts of their bodies, illuminating the entire space brightly.

Meanwhile, in other areas of the Diamond Domain, many Carbink also used Flash, bringing light back to the once pitch-black underground world.

The citizens of the Diamond Domain quickly regained their composure from the initial panic caused by the depletion of the Sacred Diamond's energy. After all, they had already mentally prepared for this possibility.

Of course, there were still quite a few Pokémon who felt deeply saddened, secretly wiping away tears. Now, their only hope rested on Her Highness, the Princess. If she failed, the Diamond Domain would soon collapse, and they would be left homeless.

Such a vast underground world would not last long without an energy source. A total collapse would be inevitable, and the resulting casualties would be unimaginable.

The three Carbink servants approached the now completely darkened Sacred Diamond, hoping to find out what had happened.

Just then, something suddenly fell from the top of the Sacred Diamond.

With a thud, an "object" landed at their feet.

Upon closer inspection, the three Carbink servants realized that it was a Sableye—and their fury erupted instantly! Without hesitation, they launched an attack on the Sableye.

The reason behind the Sacred Diamond's sudden energy depletion was now crystal clear.

For a Pokémon to become a Carbink servants in the vast Diamond Domain, they naturally could not be weak—each of them was at an Elite Four-level of strength, and their attacks were swift and fierce.

At this moment, the Sableye was still dazed. It had been too greedy, attempting to consume the entire Sacred Diamond. However, its gluttony had backfired—it had overstuffed itself with excessive energy.

Even though the Sacred Diamond had been nearing depletion, that was only because it had been sustaining the entire Diamond Domain. For a single Pokémon, its energy was still immense—far beyond what a lone Sableye could handle!

As the three Carbink servants launched their attacks, the Sableye instinctively dodged and immediately retaliated.

Although the Carbink servants were powerful, as the leader of the Sableye clan, this Sableye was no weakling. On top of that, it had an innate type advantage!

After all, Carbink had always been part of the Sableye species' natural prey.

Even in its current overstuffed and groggy state, the Sableye still easily repelled the three Carbink servants.

However, it had no interest in fighting them right now—its only focus was escaping to properly digest the Sacred Diamond it had just swallowed.

If it had been any other time, it wouldn't have hesitated to devour the three Carbink servants as well!

Being stronger than the three Carbink servants and solely focused on escape, the Sableye quickly vanished into the darkness.

Due to the Sableye's intrusion, the Diamond Domain soon sounded its emergency alarms. However, with the energy crystals depleted, the transmission of information across the nation became incredibly slow.

Trying to capture a Ghost-type Pokémon under such circumstances was nearly impossible.

Meanwhile, on Yuga's side, the siege against the Sableye colony was going smoothly, and the captured Carbink were all successfully rescued.

This particular group of Sableye was by no means weak, but unfortunately for them, Yuga and his companions were simply too powerful—the Sableye stood no chance at all.

The Sableye in this colony had excellent potential, and their numbers were quite substantial. Seeing this, Yuga captured them all, planning to add them to his ever-growing Ghost-type army.

He even specifically asked Ash and the others if they wanted to capture one, but they all refused.

Yuga found it rather disappointing. He had originally intended to secretly help them pick out some particularly talented ones!

After securing the captured Sableye and ensuring the safety of the attacked Carbink settlement, Yuga and Diancie happily returned to the Diamond Domain.

However, as soon as they returned to the underground world, they realized something was wrong. The entire place was pitch black, and all the energy crystals that had once illuminated the path had lost their light.

Diancie's heart sank, and a bad premonition surged up within her. Beside her, Dace also seemed to realize something, and his expression became extremely grim.

Soon after, a group of Carbink, their bodies emitting light, hurried over, confirming the suspicions in both Diancie and Dace's hearts.

Seeing Diancie's anxious expression, Yuga immediately released Absol, mounted it, and said to Diancie, "Come, I'll take you back!"

Diancie nodded gratefully toward Yuga before being pulled onto Absol's back.

Seeing this, Dace quickly called out, "Your Highness, Mr. Shimizu, and your humble servant as well!"

Yuga sighed helplessly and pulled Dace up as well.

"Ash, we're heading out first. You and the Royal Guard follow behind."

Since Ash and the others didn't have suitable rideable Pokémon, Yuga had no choice but to leave them behind for now.

Ash also realized the gravity of the situation and didn't mind. "Yuga, go on ahead! We'll catch up soon."

Yuga nodded, then commanded, "Absol, let's go!"

"Absol~!"

Absol let out a cry before bolting forward like an arrow, carrying the three of them.

At full speed, Absol was incredibly fast, while Yuga used a flashlight to illuminate their path. At this moment, time seemed to stretch endlessly, each passing second feeling like an eternity to Diancie and Dace.

The wind whipped past their ears as Absol's swift movement generated powerful gusts. Both Diancie and Dace repeated in their hearts: Faster, faster, just a little faster.

Suddenly, Absol seemed to sense something was wrong and came to an abrupt halt, nearly throwing Yuga, Diancie, and Dace off its back.

BOOM!

Absol tilted its head back and unleashed a Dark Pulse.

Yuga shone the flashlight in the direction of Absol's attack, and there, above them, was a Sableye that had appeared out of nowhere. Its eyes glowed eerily under the flashlight's beam, and its pale, sharp teeth gleamed with a sinister chill.

"It's a Sableye!" Diancie exclaimed in shock.

"This must be the same Sableye the Carbink mentioned earlier!" Yuga remarked.

The Carbink who had reported to them earlier had already informed Yuga and Diancie about the sudden incident involving the Sacred Diamond.

The Sableye didn't seem to have any desire to fight; instead, it turned and tried to leave.

"Gengar!"

Since Absol was carrying all three of them and was at a disadvantage in battle, Yuga had no choice but to summon Gengar.

From within the darkness, shadows wriggled and twisted. In the next second, Gengar emerged in front of Sableye, grinning widely as it blocked its path.

Sableye hesitated, its eyes filled with wariness as it glanced at Gengar. Then, it abruptly turned in another direction, attempting to escape. As a fellow Ghost-type Pokémon, it could vaguely sense Gengar's overwhelming strength.

Seeing this, Yuga immediately shouted, "Gengar, Mean Look!"

Ghost-type Pokémon were far too adept at escaping, so Yuga had to take precautions.

A red gleam flashed through Gengar's eyes, and for a brief moment, a pair of massive spectral eyes appeared in the air. Just as Sableye was about to flee, it seemed to crash headfirst into an invisible glass wall and was sent flying backward.

After trying a few more times and realizing it truly couldn't escape, Sableye finally gave up on running.

However, it was somewhat fearful of Gengar, so instead of attacking it, it set its sights on Yuga, the human.

But before Sableye could even get close to Yuga, it was blasted away by a Moonblast from Diancie, who was sitting in front of Yuga.

At the same time, Gengar's attack arrived—Shadow Ball struck Sableye, sending it crashing to the ground.

Having taken consecutive attacks from two powerful Pokémon, Sableye was in immense pain, barely able to move. Yet, at that moment, a massive amount of pink light began surging from within its body.

The light continuously fused into its form, not only healing its injuries but also rapidly increasing its power. In the blink of an eye, its presence was already beginning to surpass that of Gengar.

The pink light was the energy of the Sacred Diamond that Sableye had absorbed into itself.

As it absorbed the energy at an alarming rate, Sableye's rationality gradually began to slip away. By the time all the pink light had merged into its body, its gaze had become completely vacant.

"Yaa-mii~"

Sableye let out an emotionless cry, then lunged at Gengar with a rapid Shadow Claw.

Gengar's body flickered quickly, vanishing from its original position in an instant before launching a Shadow Ball at Sableye. However, Sableye shattered the Shadow Ball effortlessly with its Shadow Claw.

As Yuga watched the two Pokémon locked in battle, he thought for a moment before turning to Diancie. "Diancie, how about I give you a chance to defeat Sableye?"

Diancie was taken aback by his words. The idea was great—Sableye had plunged the Diamond Domain into darkness, and it wanted nothing more than to tear it apart—but... it wasn't sure if it could actually win.

Seeing that Diancie didn't quite understand his intent, Yuga slowly took out a stone about the size of a thumb—it was a fragment of the Giant Rock.

The Giant Rock was an object capable of greatly empowering Legendary Pokémon, something that even Tier 1 Legends fought over.

Rayquaza had Mega Evolved after obtaining it. Groudon and Kyogre had achieved Primal Reversion with it. So, Yuga speculated that it should also be useful for Diancie.

Back when the Giant Rock shattered, Cosmoem had taken a large piece and given it to Yuga, and it still lay quietly in Yuga's system space.

This thumb-sized fragment was just a piece Yuga had chipped off from that.

Originally, Yuga had no plans to hand it over to Diancie so soon, but the sudden incident with the Sacred Diamond had disrupted his plans.

Diancie took the Giant Rock fragment in confusion. The moment its hand touched the fragment, the energy within its body began to boil.

More precisely, its divinity began to stir.

At that moment, Dace, who was behind Yuga, suddenly noticed that something on his person seemed to be vibrating. When he took it out to check, it was none other than Diancie's Mega Stone.

Ever since learning about the Mega Stone's function, Dace had carried it with him, hoping that one day the princess would be able to use it.

"Your Highness!" Dace called out in alarm, clutching the Mega Stone.

Yuga also noticed the change in the Mega Stone—the spiral pattern at its center was spinning at an incredible speed.

Taking the Mega Stone from Dace's hands, Yuga handed it to Diancie. The moment Diancie took hold of it, the Mega Stone unexpectedly absorbed the Giant Rock fragment.

In a dazzling burst of pink light, Diancie's Mega Stone slowly merged into the diamond embedded in its chest.

This was something Yuga had never seen happen before.

He tried a few more times, but when he realized he truly couldn't escape, Sableye finally gave up on the idea of running away.

However, fearing Gengar, it didn't attack it directly. Instead, it shifted its target to Yuga, the human.

But before Sableye could even get close to Yuga, Diancie, who was sitting in front of him, sent it flying with a blast of Moonblast.

At that exact moment, Gengar's attack also landed—Shadow Ball struck Sableye, knocking it to the ground.

Hit consecutively by two powerful Pokémon, Sableye was in agony, barely able to move. Yet, at that moment, a large amount of pink light began to surge from within its body.

The light continuously merged into its form, not only healing its injuries but also causing its aura to soar rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it seemed on the verge of surpassing Gengar.

That pink light was the energy from the Sacred Diamond that Sableye had absorbed into its body.

As it absorbed the energy rapidly, its rationality also began to slip away. By the time all the pink light had completely merged into its body, its gaze had already turned vacant and hollow.

"Yami"

With a lifeless voice, Sableye let out a call before lunging at Gengar with Shadow Claw at blinding speed.

Gengar's figure flickered swiftly, disappearing in an instant while tossing another Shadow Ball at Sableye. However, Sableye shattered it with a swift strike of Shadow Claw.

Watching the intense battle, Yuga thought for a moment before turning to Diancie. "Diancie, how about I give you a chance to defeat Sableye?"

Diancie was taken aback by his words. On one hand, it was a great idea—Sableye had plunged the Diamond Domain into darkness, and it wished nothing more than to tear it apart. But... could it really win?

Seeing Diancie's hesitation, Yuga slowly took out a small stone about the size of a thumbnail—it was a fragment of the Giant Rock.

The Giant Rock Fragment was an object capable of greatly enhancing Legendary Pokémon, even powerful Tier 1 Legendaries fought over it.

With it, Rayquaza achieved Mega Evolution, while Groudon and Kyogre underwent Primal Reversion. Given that, Yuga speculated that it might also be useful for Diancie.

Back when the Giant Rock shattered, Cosmoem had snatched a large chunk and handed it to Yuga. It was still lying dormant in Yuga's system space.

The piece he now held was just a small fragment he had chipped off.

Originally, Yuga hadn't planned on giving it to Diancie this soon, but the sudden disaster with the Sacred Diamond had disrupted his plans.

Diancie accepted the Giant Rock Fragment in confusion. The moment its hand touched the fragment, an overwhelming energy surged within its body.

More precisely, its divine essence was boiling.

At that moment, Dace, standing behind Yuga, suddenly noticed something vibrating on his person. Taking it out, he saw it was Diancie's Mega Stone.

Ever since learning about its function, Dace had been carrying it, hoping that one day the princess would be able to use it.

"Princess!" Dace called out in a flustered voice, clutching the Mega Stone tightly.

Yuga also noticed the changes in the Mega Stone—it was spinning rapidly at the center, its spiral patterns twisting at high speed.

Taking it from Dace, Yuga handed the Mega Stone to Diancie. The moment it touched Diancie's hands, it absorbed the Giant Rock Fragment entirely.

In a dazzling burst of pink light, the Mega Stone slowly merged into the diamond embedded in Diancie's chest.

This was something Yuga had never seen before.

He had multiple Mega Stones—not just one—but nothing like this had ever happened.

Perhaps it was because this Mega Stone belonged to the Mythical Pokémon Diancie, Yuga speculated. After all, this was the first time he had encountered a Mega Stone for a Legendary Pokémon!

At the same time, Diancie's form began to change rapidly.

The stones on its lower body fully transformed into transparent pink diamonds. The diamond on its forehead shifted into a heart shape. Long, flowing ribbons extended from the back of its head, and a dress-like veil spread over its body, making it look even more like a true princess.

Previously, parts of Diancie's body had still been stone. But after Mega Evolution, its entire form was now composed entirely of diamond. A powerful aura radiated outward, even causing the mindless Sableye to pause in its movements.

"This... this is..." Dace stammered in awe, his excitement rendering him speechless. "Is this the true form of the princess?"

"Diancie, go now—defeat Sableye!" Yuga encouraged.

"Mm!" Diancie nodded firmly.

"Gengar, return. Leave the rest to Diancie," Yuga instructed.

The grievances of the Diamond Domain should be settled by the Diamond Domain itself.

"Gengar~"

Gengar responded with a nod before swiftly retreating to Yuga's side, hovering in the air to provide support for Diancie.

Diancie faced Sableye, and the pink energy fluctuations around it spread outward, drastically amplifying its Fairy-type energy.

Seeing this, Dace became even more excited.

"This... this is..."

"This is Fairy Aura," Yuga explained. Since awakening this power, this was the first time Diancie had used it so smoothly.

"Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! The Diamond Domain is saved! The Diamond Domain is saved!" Dace murmured in joy, tears streaming down his face.

As Dace expressed his joy, Diancie and Sableye's battle erupted.

With a wave of its hand, several pink diamond swords floated around Diancie.

This was Stone Edge.

For most Pokémon, Stone Edge was just made of ordinary rock, but Diancie's was formed from diamonds—an incredibly extravagant way to fight.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The long diamond swords shot toward Sableye at high speed. Though it had lost its rationality, its instincts allowed it to evade the attack.

The diamond swords, formed purely from Rock-type energy, couldn't last indefinitely. Upon missing their target, they embedded themselves in the ground before dispersing back into energy and vanishing.

Sableye had just dodged one wave of attacks when, in the next second, a powerful Moonblast was already upon it.

Enhanced by Fairy Aura, the Moonblast was immensely powerful. The silver beam of energy shot out like a massive cannon, illuminating the entire underground world.

This time, Sableye couldn't dodge.

Its small body was engulfed entirely by the silver beam.

BOOM!!!

The sheer force of the attack made the ground tremble, causing loose stones to fall from the ceiling above Yuga and the others.

Since Fairy-type moves were Sableye's weakness, the overwhelming attack instantly rendered it unable to battle. It lay motionless in the muddy pit, completely defeated.
