Elf: I Am a Farmer

Chapter 100 Small Diamonds

As Chiba Kaede ventured deeper into the cave, he encountered more and more native inhabitants living in the Stone Cave, including Geodude, Makushita Rikishi, Onix, and Cocodora.

When Chiba Kaede first encountered Cocodora, he had already considered taming it. Unfortunately, the little guy, whose entire body was covered in steel, dug a hole and left after seeing them. He chased after it for a long time but couldn't find it, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Let's take a break!"

Chiba Kaede arrived at an underground river and decided to rest for a while. After all, he had been walking for more than half an hour since entering the Stone Cave, and he had been in a state of high concentration the whole time. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and if he didn't rest, his condition would definitely get worse and worse.

After taking a bottle of water out of his backpack and taking a few sips, Chiba Kaede began to look around at his surroundings.

Suddenly, a hole the size of a fist caught his attention. As he turned his head to look, and his headlamp shone on the hole, he had a vague feeling that something was watching them from the other side.

"Pangolin, dig this wall open and take a look!"

After examining it carefully for a while, Chiba Kaede felt that the wall behind it should be hollow, so he asked Pangolin to dig it open and take a look.

Upon receiving its trainer's command, Sandslash perked up. Ever since entering the cave, it had felt its paws itching and instinctively wanted to dig a cozy nest. Now, it finally had a chance to put its skills to good use.

Chiba Kaede watched as the Sandslash relentlessly dug through the earth with its sharp claws. Even though the rock face appeared incredibly hard, it seemed as if it were made of paper under its claws. ♦👍 ➅9ⓈʰǗχ.ĆＯ𝕞 💢♘

Before long, the Sand King dug out a hole large enough for them to pass through, and then gestured to the other side that they could go through.

Seeing that Pangolin was doing this, Chiba Kaede did not hesitate and directly bent down and climbed over. After arriving on the other side, Chiba Kaede found that the area inside was not small, and there was a path to continue forward.

After arriving here, Chiba Kaede didn't rush to explore further. He was certain that no one had been here before, so the probability of finding something good was very high.

Sure enough, not long after, Chiba Maple discovered an Everstone, and Sandslash, relying on its senses, used Metal Claw to split open the surface of the rock wall and found a hard stone, which is an item that can enhance the power of the Rock-type moves held by the Pokémon.

With these two finds, Chiba Kaede's enthusiasm soared even higher, and she began digging with several elves. They even unearthed some star fragments, which are beautiful gem fragments that many merchants would pay a high price for.

"let's go!"

Seeing that there was nothing more to be gained, Chiba Kaede put away his tools and decided to continue exploring.

After navigating the long passageway, Chiba Kaede and his group finally reached the end, which was a small cave. However, there were traces of elves living inside, so Chiba Kaede immediately became alert, fearing an attack from wild elves, since they might have stumbled into the dwelling of one of them.

Because the cave was small, after careful exploration, Chiba Kaede finally discovered a small figure hiding behind a rock. The figure was trembling and was obviously frightened by the intruders.

"Um, come out here, I won't hurt you!"

Chiba Kaede suddenly felt guilty. Although he hadn't done anything, he inexplicably had this feeling, as if he were a bully.

After hearing Chiba Kaede's words, the elf hiding behind the rock seemed to understand his meaning. It peeked out from behind the rock and looked at him, then looked at Chiba Kaede again before immediately retreating back inside.

"Small diamonds!"

Although he only glanced at it, Chiba Kaede recognized the Pokémon in front of him. However, he was a little surprised that there was a Diamond Shard here, since in his knowledge, Diamond Shard should be a Pokémon from the Kalos region.

However, this is actually a misunderstanding on his part. The Carlos region simply has a large number of small diamonds, not that other regions do not have small diamonds.

Small diamonds are born deep underground under high temperature and pressure, and have been sleeping underground for hundreds of millions of years since their birth. So they are not actually exclusive to the Carlos region. It's just that the geographical environment of the Carlos region is more suitable for the birth of small diamonds.

Upon seeing the small diamonds, Chiba Kaede couldn't help but think of the legendary elf Diancie.

There is a rumor that Diancie is actually a mutant of the tiny diamond, and its pinkish body is praised as the most beautiful in the world.

It can compress carbon from the air between its hands, creating many diamonds in an instant. It is said that somewhere in the world, there is a mine where many small diamonds lie dormant, and their queen, Diancie, is also there.

Based on his knowledge from his previous life, Chiba Kaede felt that the rumor was very likely true.

In the Pokémon movie "Dianci and the Cocoon of Destruction", the "Diamond Kingdom" has relied on the energy emitted by the "Holy Diamond" to support the entire country for many years. However, only the princess of this country can create such diamonds, but the current princess, Diancie, is not yet able to control this power.

In the series, Princess Diancie meets Ash and others, and together they set off to find Xerneas, the "God of Life," in order to obtain divine power to save their race.

Ultimately, under Xerneas's guidance, Princess Diancie unlocked her own power and successfully created the "Holy Diamond," saving the "Diamond Kingdom" from crisis.

Chiba Kaede believes that the mysterious power within is a magical energy generated by the fusion of fairy attribute energy and life energy. Therefore, if he can help Little Diamond understand the true meaning of these two energies, is it possible for it to mutate into Diancie?

Chiba Kaede thought this was an interesting experiment, and it wouldn't matter if he failed, but if he succeeded, he would have a legendary spirit.

Looking at the little diamond that had relaxed a bit, Chiba Kaede took out a few energy cubes from his backpack and walked towards it. He was quite skilled at luring, oops, making friends.

As Chiba Kaede approached, Little Diamond couldn't help but get nervous. However, seeing the kind smile on the human's face, it refrained from attacking.

After getting a few steps away from the small diamond, Chiba Kaede stopped and held out the hand holding the energy cube to the small diamond, indicating that it was edible.

Little Diamond understood what Chiba Maple meant. Looking at the fragrant little cube in front of it, it was somewhat tempted, but out of caution, it hesitated.

After a brief standoff, Little Diamond couldn't resist the temptation and ate an Energy Cube. As the Energy Cube entered its mouth, its eyes narrowed, and it looked like it was thoroughly enjoying itself.

As Chiba Kaede fed it, Little Diamond finally emerged from behind the rock and floated in front of Chiba Kaede, scrutinizing him closely. After all, it had lived in this cave since birth and had never gone outside. The passage outside was actually dug out by it when it was bored.

"Little diamond, are you the only one here?"

Chiba Kaede looked around and then asked.

After all, according to his understanding, small diamonds generally live in groups, and it is rare for them to be alone.

After hearing Chiba Maple's question, Little Diamond nodded with a somewhat forlorn expression. After all, it had been in this place for countless years. Although it could resist the passage of time by sleeping for long periods of time, it still felt lonely from time to time.

"Would you like to come with me and see the outside world?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chiba Kaede extended an invitation.

Surprisingly, Little Diamond agreed to Chiba Maple's invitation without much thought, perhaps because it also longed for the outside world!

After capturing the little diamond, Chiba Kaede lost interest in exploring the Stone Cave. After all, he had already gained a lot from this trip, and the chances of gaining more were slim, so he decided not to waste any more time.

With Sandslash leading the way, Chiba Kaede emerged from the Stone Cave in just half an hour. The glaring sunlight outside caused his eyes to irritate, and it took him a while to recover.
