Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Steelco, let's go!" Xiaogang said as he patted Steelco's head.

"Roar!" Steelix carried Satoshi and his group and moved quickly in a certain direction.

........

"I didn't expect that the legendary thief Miris would be Diancie's nanny." When Leirt was about to command Greninja to attack the girl, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

Leirte looked in the direction of the sound... and saw Frem walking out from the depths of the forest with the demon fire red fox.

"Long time no see, Frem!" Miles waved her hand.

"Do you know each other?" Leirt looked at Frem and the girl warily, fearing that they were in the same group.

"Lelt, you don't even know the famous thief Miris, do you?" Frem teased.

"Milis...Milis..." Leirt searched his memory for information related to Milis.

"I remember now! Isn't Milis the famous father and daughter thieves some time ago?" Leirt finally remembered the identity of the girl in front of him.

"Father and daughter thieves? What kind of weird name is that?" Milis, who was originally complacent, was instantly broken.

.........

"Steel Snake can't go any further on the road ahead, so we have to walk." Xiaogang said as he looked at the river in front of him.

"No problem~" Xiaozhi and the others had no objection to this, and immediately walked down from Steelix's body, and then one by one stepped on the single-plank bridge to cross the river.

When Xiaozhi was about to leave, he suddenly found Xiaoxia still standing on the opposite side, reluctant to cross the bridge.

When Xiaozhi was about to ask, he suddenly remembered that Xiaoxia seemed to be afraid of walking on the single-plank bridge. He had encountered a similar thing when he was traveling with Xiaoxia. At that time, Xiaoxia was also afraid and did not dare to walk on the single-plank bridge.

"There's really nothing I can do about you..." Xiaozhi sighed, then walked across the single-plank bridge to Misty's side, and carried Misty across the bridge in a princess hug.

"Xiaozhi, you...I..." Xiaoxia, who was suddenly in close contact with Xiaozhi, blushed immediately and then buried her little head in Xiaozhi's chest.

"Damn it! If I had known earlier, I would have pretended to be afraid of walking on the single-plank bridge..." Serena muttered softly, secretly regretting it in her heart.

Xiaozhi, holding Misty, quickly crossed the single-plank bridge and put Misty on the ground.

"Hmph!" Serena stomped her feet as if she was sulking.

"Strange? Why is Serena angry?" Xiaozhi scratched his head in confusion.

"Xiaozhi is such a blockhead, I don't know why he will marry so many wives in the future." Xiaogang covered his face with one hand and complained, but in order to break the awkward atmosphere, he changed the subject: "Are these little diamonds of Diancie your partners?"

"We are the guards protecting Her Highness Diancie," Majima replied.

"The bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Princess? It seems that Diancie is really a princess." Although she had long guessed that Diancie was a princess, the moment of confirmation still made Serena quite excited. After all, princesses are still very rare in the Pokémon world.

"Who are you guys?" Longlong looked at Xiaozhi with a wary look. After all, there was something wrong with the way Princess Diancie looked at this guy before.

"They are my friends..." Diancie said with a smile on her face.

"Friends?!" The little diamonds were stunned when they heard the answer.

"So we're just friends...that's good." Longlong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dianxi, since these little diamonds are your guards, why didn't you recognize them when you met them in the mall before, but turned around and ran away?" Xiaogang asked the doubts in his heart.

“That’s because on my way to find Xernia, I saw a city in the distance. I became curious about that city, so I sneaked away while Majima and the others were sleeping. But I didn’t expect to be targeted by thieves before I even reached the city.” Diancie explained in a low voice.

"And then you met us?" Xiaozhi asked.

"Yeah~" Diancie nodded.

"So this is the reason why Princess Diancie left alone. I thought Her Royal Highness the Princess didn't like being with us, so she left alone." Majima said with sudden realization.

"No, it's not that I don't like being with you guys, I'm just very curious about the outside world, so I left without permission."

"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble because of my departure." Diancie said apologetically.

"Your Highness Diancie, I understand your thoughts, but for your own safety, please do not leave our sight without permission." Majima said.

"Yes!" Diancie replied.

"We're here..." Longlong said, pointing at the small cave in front of him, and then took the lead to enter the cave.

Although the height of the cave entrance is just right for Diancie and Diamond, it is too narrow for Satoshi and his friends. In order to enter the cave smoothly, they can only kneel on the ground and crawl into the cave.

As Xiaozhi and his group continued to crawl, the cave became wider and wider, until it was wide enough for Xiaozhi and his group to stand and walk.

"Where is this place?" Serena looked at the cave full of crystals in front of her in surprise.

"Our countries are spread all over the world, and this is one of them. Every country is connected by the Diamond Road in front of us," Diancie introduced.

Xiaozhi and his friends looked at the road full of diamonds in front of them with surprise. At the same time, there were hundreds of small diamonds standing on both sides of the road, as if welcoming Diancie's arrival.

"She's worthy of being a princess, what a grand ceremony..." Xiaogang murmured.

"Why are there so many broken diamonds here in Diancie?" Xiaozhi suddenly said, pointing at the crystals not far away that were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's because the sacred diamond has reached the end of its lifespan, causing the crystals in the cave to disappear."

"When the sacred diamond disappears completely, what will disappear is no longer the diamond, but our country will be reduced to ashes." A kind voice sounded in everyone's ears, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice...only to see an old little diamond jumping over from not far away.

"Diane, are you telling the truth?" Diancie asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true. I came here specifically to tell you this," Diane replied.

"The country has become like this... I was completely ignorant of this. I am a completely unqualified princess..." Diancie burst into tears.

"Don't cry, Diancie. Crying won't solve the problem." Xiaozhi squatted beside Diancie and rubbed its head with his hand to comfort it.

"Pica! Pica!"

"Xiaozhi..." After Xiaozhi's comfort, Diancie stopped dropping the pearls, and at the same time it understood that it had to take action.
