Shine, Mega Diancie!

There were not many Legendary Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.

Other than Rayquaza and the brother-sister pair from Water City, there was only Diancie.

Xia Chen had already ridden Mega Rayquaza. If he successfully helped Diancie achieve Mega Evolution as well, it would mean that half of all Mega-Evolving Legendary Pokémon had close ties to him.

"Come on, Xia Chen. I'm ready!"

"Calm your mind and release your mental power."

Speaking gently,
