• Yveltal petrified Di Qiu'er, Zi JI, Bi JI, and others, spreading its Dark Aura across the continent until Chi Hong summoned Xerneas to oppose it.
• Chi Hong, Mew, and Gu Yuena created Zygarde, who subdued Yveltal and restored the land while Xerneas revived petrified creatures and plants.

• Chi Hong challenged the Illustrious Virtue Hall in Mingdu, defeated its defenders with Mega Charizard X, Di Qiu'er, Snow Empress, and Squishy, and reached Soul Power level sixty-eight.
