On the ship.
Steven stood on the deck, holding a cup of hot tea brewed from the tea leaves snatched from Fang Yan, looking quietly into the distance.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the sea breeze blowing from the sea is naturally cold.
But for a body like Steven, this cold wind is not a problem at all.
On the sea, Magikarp often jumps out to look at this gorgeously dressed and handsome man on the deck.
There are also many Wingull hovering above the ship.
"What are you thinking about?" Diancie came to Steven and asked Steven who was looking at the sea.
Steven came back to his senses, looked at Diancie beside him, smiled, and then said, "It's okay, I just want to think about other things."
Wallace called him just now.
The content is probably that if he had known that the championship would be returned to him, he would have gone out and let himself handle the affairs. It would be better for him to continue to be the champion of Hoenn Region, so that he could entrust his master Juan to handle the affairs.
Since the champion is not Wallace, Wallace's master Juan clearly refused to help Wallace handle the affairs.
As the champion, Steven ran to Kalos Region, so the affairs of Hoenn Region could only be handled by the former champion Wallace.
He tried to transfer to help deal with it, but Du refused directly.
Watanabe said that Kanto Region and Johto Region have also had a lot of affairs recently, and there is no time to deal with Hoenn Region's affairs.
So Wallace, who was almost driven crazy by the affairs, called Steven and scolded Steven.
"Forest of Orsay is ahead." Steven pointed to the front and said to Diancie.
AZ put his hands on the railing and looked at Forest of Orsay in the distance, with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.
"I will remember the trip with everyone, especially last night when we were camping. It was very happy and I was very happy." Diancie said, "Especially Bonnie, I like it very much, and Little Shauna and Little Zhishi."
Yesterday, Fang Yan directly opened Distortion Passage and brought Little Shauna and Little Zhishi over. When Rest came, he sent them back with the resentful eyes of the two little girls.
The three little girls plus one Diancie and the other Mythical Pokémon made the whole night of camping full of joy.
"Are you going to leave after seeing Xerneas? Diancie." Ash looked at Diancie and said regretfully.
"Yes, that is my country, and I must go back there." Diancie said seriously, "But I believe that there will be a day when we meet again."
"Where is Diamond Domain?" Steven asked Diancie curiously. He had often heard Diancie mention Diamond Domain, but he never knew where Diamond Domain was.
"Hey, in fact, the entire Kalos mineral vein belongs to the country's territory." Diancie said with a smile.
"It's just that due to the depletion of Heart Diamond, many mineral veins have lost contact with Heart Diamond." Diancie sighed sadly and said.
"It doesn't matter. After you see Xerneas, you can restore Heart Diamond, and you can also reconnect with the lost mineral veins." Steven comforted Diancie.
"Thank you." Diancie said thank you.
"By the way, after meeting Xerneas, can Diancie cultivate a mineral vein from Lumiose City? Then he can play with Diancie every day." Bonnie discovered something that ordinary people cannot pay attention to, and asked with bright eyes.
"Of course there is no problem." Diancie said with a smile, "After all, we are friends.,Bonnie."
Steven on the side raised his eyebrows when he heard that a mineral vein could be built to Lumiose City.
It seems that I can buy a house in Lumiose City.
After all, this way I can see the lovely Princess Diancie every day.
People around were chatting around Diancie, but Fang Yan was missing.
At this time, Fang Yan was lying in the ship's room, sleeping soundly with Ninetales in his arms.
Until three o'clock in the morning, the ship stopped, and Steven came and knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
Gothitelle opened the door, Steven glanced at Fang Yan sleeping on the bed, and said to Gothitelle, "We are already here, do you want to wake up the Fang Yan store manager?"
Gothitelle nodded, and then used Inner Focus to lift Fang Yan.
After a while, Fang Yan came to the deck with Yawn in his name.
"Are you there?" Fang Yan asked.
"Hmm." Steven hummed.
"Okay, let's go down then."
Fang Yan led the team and walked down with everyone.
After getting off the boat, Fang Yan found a relatively open place. Gothitelle They skillfully set up the dining table and chairs and washed the ingredients.
"It's lunch time, let's finish lunch before setting off." Fang Yan's proposal was approved by everyone.
No one can resist a lunch cooked by Gothitelle.
But this time Fang Yan cooked the food himself, and Gothitelle helped him.
Soon, one plate after another of food was brought to the table by Gothitelle.
Bonnie took a deep sniff of the smell and said in surprise, "So Fang Yan store manager can also cook?"
Fang Yan grinned and said, "Of course, who do you think taught Gothitelle's cooking skills?"
Yurika did not believe what the dialect said, but looked at Miss Goethe, who nodded in rare agreement.
Bonnie and Serena covered their mouths in surprise.
Fang Yan clapped his hands, and then said, "Let's eat."
The dining table instantly entered a state of war.
After finishing lunch and asking Ash to help clean the kitchen utensils, Fang Yan burped and took everyone to rest for half an hour.
Half an hour later, Fang Yan stood up, stretched his waist, and then said, "Everyone, let's go."
The group of people followed Fang Yan and walked all the way deep into the forest.
To everyone's surprise, the trees on the outer edge of the forest were Overgrow, with lush greenery, but the core area deep in the forest was dilapidated, without any vitality, showing a strange concentric circle landscape.
"This is----"Steven's pupils shrank and he whispered.
"It doesn't matter, it was probably caused by Yveltal, which absorbed all the life in this entire area." Fang Yan also frowned and said.
"Diancie, can you feel the breath of Xerneas?" Fang Yan looked at Diancie and asked.
Diancie shook his head, "Sorry, I can't feel it."
Fang Yan:----
It's over, I don't know Aura, how can I find it?
At this time, Ash seemed to feel something in his heart. He pointed in a direction and said, "I seem to feel an extremely powerful energy there."
Fang Yan looked at Ash, with a flash of understanding in his heart.
I almost forgot, Ash itself is an extremely powerful messenger of Aura.
"Okay, let's go that way." Fang Yan finished speaking and continued walking forward.
Fang Yan rode Ninetales, let Ninetales use Flamethrower to clear away the thorns in front of him, and then walked in.
Looking at Fang Yan who was riding Ninetales at some unknown time, a trace of doubt flashed in AZ's eyes.
When did the Fang Yan store manager ride Ninetales?
Xerneas's habitat is rumored to be deep in the forest, and rumors also say that it seems to appear in the form of a "colorful tree".
Under the guidance of Ash, the group passed through the roaring and splashing waterfalls falling from the sky, the deep and dense jungle, and arrived at a mysterious altar.
AZ stopped, looked at Diancie, and said, "Let's say goodbye here, Diancie."
"Aren't you going in with us?" Diancie looked back at AZ and asked.
AZ shook his head, "No, I'll just wait for you outside."
AZ knows full well that they have deceived them in the name of the Wise King and used their abilities to create Ultimate Weapon, so they will not forgive themselves.
During this time, he figured out that this was the result of his own actions, so he had to make up for it.
Therefore, he wanted to go to the other direction, to the river where Cocoon of Destruction lives, to the other end of the forest, and to use his eternal sleep to make up for his mistakes.
Fang Yan sat on Ninetales's back, looked back at AZ's firm eyes under his white hair, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, it won't do anything to you."
AZ still shook his head and said, "No, this is my choice."
After saying that, AZ turned around and walked in the other direction.
Chen Yan looked at his back and remained silent.
Finally, he turned back while riding Ninetales and continued to speak, "Let's go."
Ash and Gary looked at each other and followed Steven's voice.
AZ walked for a while, stopped, and looked up at the sky. The sky was blocked by the dense leaves overhead, casting only mottled shadows. The surroundings were full of birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, and everything was full of life.
It's so beautiful----
AZ sighed sincerely.
Then a strong sadness surged into his chest again.
He asked himself, if he had been allowed to Encore, would he have risked the destruction of his country three thousand years ago to revive Floette again?
But obviously, he will still make the same choice.
Because Floette is more than just a friend to him.
Just like Fang Yan said, he and Floette have been family members for a long time.
Even though this choice will make it leave him forever as Eternal Flower, he still will not regret it.
AZ thought of this and took steps to continue walking forward.
Different from the situation in the direction where Fang Yan and the others were heading, the end of AZ's route was full of lifelessness. At first, the vegetation was withered and the rivers dried up.
In the middle of the dead place, in the dark water, a night-like cocoon was beating violently like a heart, and its eyes were slowly showing signs of recovery.
the other side.
Fang Yan led the team walking on the deep path behind the mysterious altar. He did not hold back too much for AZ's departure because he knew that if he let AZ Sheer Force follow him, even the mild-tempered Xerneas would be angry, and there might even be a fight.
Fang Yan is not afraid of fighting, but Fang Yan feels that this fight is unnecessary.
It was AZ who did something wrong in the first place, and this time he came to deal with Diancie's matter. If we have to fight, it's not worth it.
After finishing the matter of Diancie, rush over to deal with the matter of AZ.
Hope to catch up.
Fang Yan squinted his eyes and sighed in his heart.
He held the wooden sign pendant on his chest. The wooden sign pendant lit up and then became calm again.
Alamos Town on the other side.
Darkrai, who was hiding in the shadow and observing Alice, broke away from Alice's shadow. In Alice's surprised eyes, he transformed into a shadow and headed into the distance.
At the same time.
Deep sea area.
The undercurrent surged, and countless fish Pokémon were photographed out of the water, followed by a huge shadow heading straight for Kalos along the ocean current.
In space.
A bright blue light shone from the huge body flying around the hole in the ozone layer, and finally settled on a meteorite. Its golden eyes stared at a certain place on the blue planet, motionless.
Only Dragon Tail behind him kept twisting in space, and the ribbons on his body that looked like light particles.
The golden light in the distance shrank the light back, preparing to avoid Mega Rayquaza who entered the battle state.
"By the way, Steven, is AZ going to deal with something important?" Diancie asked in a low voice beside Steven.
Steven hesitated for a moment, then nodded and whispered, "Don't worry, I believe Fang Yan, he will take care of it, and I will."
Diancie blinked his ruby-like eyes, looked at Steven, and then smiled softly, "Okay, I believe you."
Steven smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hook Diancie, and walked in the direction directed by Ash. The group came to an open space.
In the open space, a colorful tree is extremely eye-catching.
The colorful tree trunks extend in all directions, with abundant life energy surging within them. The dark blue trunks flash with flickering green crystals, and the energy of the earth flows continuously along the roots to the tree body.
"So beautiful----" Bonnie was stunned.
"I feel it----" Diancie looked at the big tree in front of him and said, "This is the energy of Fairy type Aura".
Fang Yan nodded, got off Ninetales's back, and said, "We are at the place, this is Xerneas."
Fang Yan came to the tree and held the wooden sign pendant on his chest with his palm. Then, the wooden sign pendant started to ripple clearly.
Countless breaths of Legendary Pokémon began to spread out.
The "tree body" in front of me trembled violently, and then started to move.
The black tree roots are exposed on the ground, turning into strong limbs like an elk, and the blue trunk turns into a neck.
Xerneas held the colorful tree of life on his head, and his originally gentle eyes looked at Fang Yan, Diancie and others with shock, confusion, and fear.
"Why did the big tree turn into a colorful deer?" Ash scratched his head and asked in confusion.
"Are you stupid? That tree is Xerneas." Serena whispered in Ash's ear.
Ash: "Ah? Xerneas is a tree?"
Xerneas:----
Fang Yan:----
Steven:----
Everyone:----
Fang Yan looked back at Ash, and Ash immediately covered his mouth.
Clemont looked at the extremely beautiful colorful deer in front of him and said in surprise, "Xerneas really exists----"
Steven was also temporarily confused by Xerneas's beautiful body, but he soon came back to his senses.
"The legendary God of Life, Xerneas?" Steven chuckled softly, and then said from the bottom of his heart, "It's very beautiful, but compared to Princess Diancie, it's still a little inferior."
"Why do you----have the breath of Duo of Time and Space, Lord of the Distortion World, Tao Trio, God of the Sky---- on you?"
Xerneas's voice sounded, her voice was extremely gentle, but there was a hint of doubt in her tone.
Fang Yan stood in front of Xerneas, grinning, "Because----"
"I beat them all up."
Looking at Fang Yan with a sincere smile on his face, Xerneas's heart tightened.
Xerneas can feel that the human in front of him is not lying.
Then the fact is----
Did he really beat them up?
"Even Arceus---- I won, so you can also call me Messenger of Arceus, Xerneas, and my name is Fang Yan."
Xerneas Suddenly I felt like I was anemic and my limbs were a little weak.
He felt the aura belonging to Arceus in front of Fang Yan.
Messenger of Arceus What are you doing here?
It won't be----
After beating them, come and beat me, right?
What mistake did I make?!
