The Kalos Region.
That night,
Since they had driven there, and Arus Forest was rarely visited, they had to pitch tents to sleep in.
Under a bright moon and a scattering of stars,
Li Wei was already fast asleep, holding Victini and using Arcanine as his pillow.
A sound outside the tent made Ash, who had yet to fall asleep, open his eyes.
By the lake, Diancie was working hard to form a Holy Diamond in the darkness.
Just as back in the Diamond Domain, before the Holy Diamond could take shape, the pink diamond slowly dissolved in midair.
Diancie could not help feeling dejected.
The Holy Diamond in the Diamond Domain was already close to depletion, yet Diancie simply could not create an everlasting Holy Diamond.
"It still won't work..."
"Don't give up!"
An encouraging voice came from behind-from Li Wei's Diancie.
When Princess Diancie had slipped out, Li Wei's Diancie had quietly followed, worried about the princess's safety.
In the darkness, the two Diancie gazed up at the night sky together.
Just then, a meteor streaked across the sky.
"They say that if you make a wish before a meteor disappears, your wish will come true!"
Ash hurried over to Princess Diancie's side as well.
Hearing Ash's voice, Diancie turned to look at him.
"My wish will come true?"
Ash nodded. "Yeah."
His voice was not particularly loud, but it was sincere enough that Diancie could not help believing him.
Beneath the starry sky, another meteor streaked across the heavens.
"Now!"
Even Li Wei's Diancie followed Ash's example and clasped both hands together.
"I hope Diancie can create an everlasting Holy Diamond..."
Ash earnestly made his wish.
Li Wei: "..."
Ash really had put every last bit of his emotional intelligence into Pokémon.
No wonder Pokémon like Bayleef
