At the edge of the cliff.
Once they passed through the waterfall across from them, they would reach their destination-Arus Forest.
But before they entered Arus Forest, the elderly Carbink, Dian, told Li Wei, Diancie, and the others the forest's story.
It was the story of Yveltal that Li Wei already knew.
Even among Pokémon, Yveltal was known as the Avatar of Destruction.
Arus Forest was forbidden ground for humans and Pokémon alike.
The reason was simple: Yveltal's cocoon lay there.
"Yveltal?"
Li Wei explained, "If Xerneas bestows life, then Yveltal takes all life away."
Bonnie pressed, "So it's Xerneas's counterpart?"
Steven nodded. "Yes."
But compared with Groudon and Kyogre, who fought tooth and nail,
Xerneas and Yveltal rarely fought each other.
At most, it was like what had happened in Arus Forest a thousand years ago,
when Xerneas held off Yveltal's Death Wing.
Bonnie asked, "Why?"
"Because above Xerneas and Yveltal, there's Zygarde, who maintains order."
Bonnie tilted her head. "Zygarde?"
Just then, the Zygarde Core hiding in Bonnie's crossbody bag poked its head out.
Li Wei did not reveal the Zygarde Core's identity. He figured it probably wouldn't cause any major problems.
After all, Team Flare had already been dealt with, and Blue had even taken part.
As for Diantha's abilities... although she was Cynthia's best friend, Li Wei still had his doubts.
Of course, he had no doubts about her ability to make movies...
Team Flare's boss, Lysandre, was dead. That was Blue's assessment.
And Li Wei would not question Blue's judgment.
Team Flare had effectively disbanded. Even Lysandre's base, the Rising Sun Café, had been taken down.
That being the case, there was no need to worry too much about the Zygarde Core.
Dian's main reason for telling the story was to warn Li Wei and
