Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
July 18, on a patch of grass beside a lake in the heart of Viridian Forest.
Su Hao's gaze fell on the grass beneath his feet, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
He had probably stepped on the Zygarde Cells right around this spot.
Then, Su Hao looked up at the cloudless, pristine sky.
The place where Diancie and Yveltal had fought, as well as the passage Celebi had opened, were both roughly within view from where he stood.
