In ancient times, at the dawn of civilization in the Kalos Kingdom, Magill, a prophet of the Fertile Land, delivered a prophecy.
Yveltal, the god of destruction, would descend upon their land and reduce all things to nothingness, gathering life energy to enter its once-in-a-thousand-years slumber.
But at that time, there was a hero named Jan!
To protect his village from utter annihilation at the hands of Yveltal, the god of destruction, he prepared to slay it.
In the end, when he truly encountered Yveltal, the hero Jan found his life hanging by a thread before the god of destruction's overwhelming power!
Ultimately, his childhood sweetheart Ella shielded him from Yveltal's Dark Aura, turning into a stone statue of a young girl...
She was none other than Ella, the maiden with eyes of stone celebrated in Kalos mythology!
And that was where the legend of the XYZ Trio began.
As Dian climbed the rock face covered in blue-green moss, he reviewed the information he had found. Sure enough, having plot armor makes all the difference.
Ash was a true protagonist. Even the villains who opposed him were all rescued by Xerneas after Yveltal petrified them.
Yet Jan had devoted his entire life to his quest, only for it to end in tragedy. Xerneas had never revived Ella.
Still, when it came down to it, that charlatan was to blame. Yveltal had no interest whatsoever in the life force of two-legged creatures. It had merely destroyed a Forest created by its own relative.
But the charlatan just had to insist it ate people. Well, look how that turned out. Someone died...
So the moral was to take a charlatan's words with a grain of salt, never as gospel.
With a powerful leap, he finally made it back onto the forest trail.
