In the Kalos region, within the Nameless Forest.
Su Hao followed Greninja all the way from Anistar City and arrived here.
Along the way, they encountered several gigantic plants blocking their path, but Greninja chopped every one of them into several pieces with its exquisite tree-cutting skills. Su Hao and the others did not need to lift a finger.
At the center of the forest stood a boulder as tall as a person. Combined with the surrounding tree canopies, all trimmed neatly to allow sunlight to fall inside, Su Hao came to a conclusion.
This was where Little Soft usually basked in the sun.
"Cool ga." (Stay here and don't move.)
After leaving those words behind, Greninja leaped into a nearby stream, crossed its arms, and closed its eyes to meditate.
It was putting on an incredibly cool act.
Su Hao shrugged, unconcerned by Greninja's coldness. After all, aside from Ash, acquaintances, and some weaker Pokémon, it treated pretty much everyone this way.
"How do you feel?"
With Hisuian Braviary's help, Su Hao used Psychic-type power to bring Diancie beside the boulder, allowing the somewhat weakened Diancie to lean against it and rest.
Diancie shook its head and replied weakly, "My Mental Power has been severely depleted."
Although the power accumulated by the Giant Sundial had temporarily merged into its body, wielding that power was extremely taxing.
If its mother had not once helped it use power beyond its own capabilities, it might not have been able to control it properly.
Even so, using that power to battle Zygarde 50% had been extraordinarily difficult.
"Then get some proper rest."
Holding Diancie's hand, Su Hao slowly poured Tokiwa Power into its body, hoping it could ease some of the discomfort caused by overusing its Mental Power.
"Mmm..."
Diancie murmured, closing its
