At the center where the five-pointed star met beneath their feet, five identical purple crystals also floated in midair.
Walker continued, "There are currently 32 hours until Jirachi awakens. Now I order each of you to take a crystal to the agreed location."
Becan'er Guyuetao pointed at the five crystals. "Champion, even we aren't allowed to know which crystal is real?"
"Correct."
Walker nodded. Jirachi was too great a temptation; even their own people could not be trusted completely.

"Yes."
Walker did not say another word, nor did he show any intention of explaining.
A man as powerfully built as a lion advised in a booming voice, "Becan'er, say no more. The Champion must have his reasons."
Walker took out three palm-sized radar detectors and instructed them, "These are Legendary and Mythical Pokémon energy sensors. Diancie's energy fluctuations have been recorded in detail inside them. If Ye Qing appears, hurry over to provide support. Killing him must take priority!"
"Understood."
Gu Yuetao and the other three top Elite Four members put away the energy detectors, placed their respective crystals into safes made from a special material, and walked out of the Castle together.

Very displeased with Gu Yuetao's tone, the man quickly released a Metagross and flew into the sky.
"Another arrogant fool."
Gu Yuetao shook her head helplessly. *I really hope you can last a little longer
