Chapter 24

As we continue our journey, we find a girl named Astrid, I battle her Mega Absol with my Mega Charizard Y. In the end, it is my win, and I say, "Nice work, Charla."

Charla nods at me, and Astrid says, "Lose to a Mega Charizard again. I recently just lost to a Mega Charizard X, and for some reason its style is just like yours."

"Really?" That means this girl must have battled Alain before, and I'm glad to know that Charla's mate has the Charizardite X.

Just as we are walking, Pikachu hears something in the distance and goes to investigate. We also try to follow, and we find two trainers using a Delphox and a Greninja to attack a Mythical Pokemon Diancie, which is actually surprising to find.

"Stop! Ganging up like that, what do you think you're doing?" I demand.

"Stay out of this. I want the diamonds only this one can make." The female says.

"You talked too much, Merilyn." The ninja says. "You're not a master thief, you're a master blabbermouth."

We are shocked to learn that this Merilyn is a thief, and we try to have Diancie leave, we also use Thunderbolt and Dark Pulse to hit Delphox and Greninja at the same time.

Once we are now in a safe spot, Diancie says, "Everyone, I'm very grateful to you all for rescuing me."

After we introduce ourselves, Elline says, "So this is a Pokemon, right?"

"This is Diancie, it has the power to make diamonds." Serena says, "Luke has been trying to find this Pokemon but to no avail."

"So that's why the thieves want her." Clemont says.

"What do you mean by thieves?' Diancie is confused, and I say, "They take things that don't belong to them. That's stealing."

"Yeah, they're bad!" Bonnie says.

"I guess that means thieves are bad people who I need to look out for. I can't believe how much I've learned already." Diancie chuckles.

After we decide to have dinner, Diancie also eats the food politely like a princess. After a while, she reveals, "I can't use my full power to make real diamonds..."

"After they make them it disappears?" Serena asks.

"Yes, that's why I'm searching for Xerneas." Diancie says.

"Xerneas... isn't that a Legendary Pokemon?" Clemont asks. "There's a legend that says Xerneas can bring life."

"I was taught that Xernea's Fairy aura will help me draw out my true power. I must find Xerneas." Diancie says.

Since we want to meet Xerneas, we decide to come with her, and Diancie approves in a proper manner, which surprises us.

Then we have been traveling, and Diancie knows where to go because she's able to sense Xernea's Fairy Aura's trail. And that night, we find Diancie trying to practice making diamonds but failing, it is then she sees a shooting star.

"They say that if you make a wish before the Shooting star ends, your wish will be granted." I say.

"My wish will come true?" Diancie asks.

"Yeah." Then we decide to wish together, and I decide to wish Diancie to be able to make diamonds.

After traveling by bus, we go through ships, and that's when Diancie creates a diamond for us, and Bonnie decides to keep it in her bag, even though it might be disappearing, and then we arrive at Orsay City, where we are in a mall.

"Tell me, who does this castle belong to?" Diancie asks.

Serena laughs and says, "It's not a castle, it's a shopping mall."

Then Diancie is confused about shopping, so we decide to show her the fun of shopping. It is then she starts to panic, and that's when three Carbinks have arrived and they're chasing after her.

"They found me!" Diancie is trying to get away, and we try to chase after them but already lose sight of them.

"Where did they go?" I ask.

"Up there!" Serena says as we see the Carbink continuing to chase after Diancie. "Who are they?"

"Friends of the thieves, I bet." Bonnie says.

"We've gotta help." I say.

Clemont tries to bring another invention, but this time it is a ladder that helps us reach where Diancie is. After we are now on the same level as Diancie and the Carbinks, we decide to fly over to where they are using Charla. Diancie grabs on and we manage to land back on the ground.

After we are out of their sight, Elline asks, "Who were those Pokemon?"

"They're Carbinks. But it's quite rare to find them in the town like this." David says.

"They finally found me..." Diancie mutters.

Just then, the thief named Merilyn approaches and she tries to attack Delphox, I say, "Leave everything to me. You guys go on."

I send out Frogadier and Pikachu to attack the Delphox, and after defeating her Delphox, we try to chase after Serena and the others, only to find that they're ambushed by the ninja named Riot. Just as Diancie is about to get hit by Greninja's Water Shuriken, the three Carbinks from before manage to block the attacks.

"The Carbinks from before." Elline gasps.

It is then Diancie tries to attack with the Diamond Storm, but the diamond breaks easily and Diancie is taken by the tongue. Just then, another trainer with a Chesnaught appears and uses Pin Missile to break it free.

"Who is that?" Serena asks.

"No idea. But she did help us stop that ninja." David says.

"Diancie, run away as far as you can!" The girl says so that confirms she's not an enemy. So we decide to use the chance to escape.

After we lose track of them, we find that the Carbink are actually bodyguards, and their names are Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope. They quickly bow to me and Merrick says, "Prince Ash, thanks for finding our Princess."

"Prince? You're a prince?" Diancie asks me.

Bart says, "Ash is the Prince of the Lord Arceus, all of the Mythical and Legendary Pokemon have heard of their family's deeds."

I sigh a little, and then we are taken to their home, the Diamond Domain. However, Diancie and the Carbink come home to see the Diamond Domain in darkness and beginning to fall apart.

"What has happened?" Diancie asks.

The Carbink named Dace comes and he sadly reveals to Diancie that the Heart Diamond has died, much to Diancie's surprise.

"But what's a Heart Diamond?" Elline asks.

"If there's anything we can do to help, just tell us." I say.

"My friends. The Heart Diamond is the sole source of all the energies and lives that power the kingdom, but now it won't be able to do so." Diancie says.

"The only one who can create a new Heart Diamond is Princess Diancie." Dace says.

"But I still don't have the power I need to make that happen."

"I have every confidence that Xerneas' Fairy Aura will awaken the true power within you." Dace says.

That's when we realize why Diancie is seeking Xerneas. Diancie then begins to break down and cry, saying that she has failed her own people and that she doesn't deserve to be called a princess.

I say, "Now, Diancie. Don't cry. Crying won't help to make everything right."

Diancie then agrees to that and begins to feel more determined, and Dace is moved by this. Now we leave through another exit and see a large, lush forest, much to their amazement.

"I sense a strong Fairy aura in that forest." Diancie says.

"Princess, that is the Allearth Forest, you see, long ago, there was a major catastrophe there that obliterated everything. Since then, it has become a forbidden place that no one is allowed to enter. And there is one more thing you must know... about the being that caused all of the destruction... Yveltal. After sowing the seeds of so much destruction, it became a giant cocoon. And that cocoon is the reason why no one is allowed to enter."

"Yveltal…" I mutter. "The Legendary Pokemon who can steal the life force of everything around it."

"It is also said that whoever disturbs its sleep in the cocoon of destruction will be punished." Dace says and it causes us to gasp in horror.

We walk through the forest and see all the Pokémon peacefully living. However, Diancie then senses an aura, and she then runs quickly but trips over a log. When she gets up, however, standing right in front of her is Xerneas.

"You've been following me for sometime." Xerneas says. "I know why you are here. I am aware of what it is you seek from me. I will grant your wish." She gives Diancie Fairy Aura, the Carbink, and even Dedenne also gets the power because of the Fairy type. Before it leaves, it tells Diancie that the power to nourish life lies within Diancie herself. Diancie then states that she is very grateful.

However, before Diancie can begin testing her powers, the girl with the Chesnaught comes with another man, and they reveal that they only helped Diancie as they know she is seeking Xerneas and that they now want her powers at that moment. Marilyn and Riot also appear, and they all begin to fight over the possession of Diancie. This fighting eventually takes us into a lake with a deep crater, and all of the thieves fall in, along with me, and we all feel a mysterious power inside the lake.

Just then, much to our surprise, this power begins to awaken, just as Diancie and the Carbink, along with Ash's friends, arrive on the scene.

"No! Princess Diancie! Prince Ash! You've got to get out of there!" Dace says in dismay.

We gasp to see the cocoon appearing and now it is trying to awaken. Yveltal is the product that comes out of it, and it activates the Dark Aura. Even though Zoroark and Absol get the power from Yveltal this time, but Yveltal roars, "Those who dares to ruin my sleep should perish!"

It goes after Riot first, flying and firing Oblivion Wing on all of the forest around Riot, turning all of the trees around him into stone. This also hits Greninja and his two Ninjask, turning them into Stone, as Diancie escapes from Riot's possession, only to be taken by Marilyn. Yveltal then goes after Marilyn and her Delphox and Yanmega, and turns the forest around her into stone with Oblivion Wing, along with Delphox and Yanmega. She then looks on in sadness as Diancie escapes. She almost reunites with Ash, his friends, and the Carbink, but the Steels, on their Aegislash and Doublade, then proceed to take Diancie. Yveltal then uses Oblivion Wing on the Steels again, which Chesnaught desperately tries to block with Spiky Shield. However, even though Diancie, the Steels, and Aegislash survive, Honedge, Doublade, and Chesnaught are turned to stone.

"It is firing Oblivion Wing…" Elline says.

"Well, we know it can turn people into stone and send the spirit to the Voidlands, but what I don't understand is why it is a Flying-type move." David says.

"This isn't time for making a discussion now!" Clemont yells as he dodges another attack.

"We have to calm Yveltal down!" I say as I decide to have Frogadier help out. "Frogadier! Water Pulse! Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"

We try to stop Yveltal from the Oblivion Wing, but we see how the trees are turning into stones, and the Pokemon are fleeing. "The forest is dying once again..." Dace mutters.

Diancie then tries to protect us from another Oblivion Wing with Diamond Storm, but the diamond shatters again. We try to run off, but Yveltal fires another Oblivion Wing. However, Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope then step in to take the Oblivion Wing, and they too are turned to stone. As Merrick is being turned to stone, he tells us to protect Diancie.

Then Frogadier is about to get hit by the Oblivion Wing as well, I yell, "Frogadier! No!"

But much to our shock, Frogadier's losing its color, but it is perfectly fine. "Frogadier, are you okay?"

"I don't know... it feels weird..." Frogadier replies to me, and I gasp, "Wait, you've turned into a Shiny Pokemon!"

Before we can continue, Yveltal fires the attack again, and we try to dodge, but Pikachu, Zoroark, and I are sent flying. We try to hang onto the cliff, but it is thanks to the others that we're saved.

"It's my duty to protect everyone, but I can't do anything." Diancie mutters.

We try to tell her not to give up or else it is all over, and that's when Diancie shows its determination and says, "Ash... I need you to help me. Use your thing on the glove."

"This?" I ask as she refers to my Key Stone. I sigh, "Okay, let's do this! Diancie! Mega Evolve!"

I press the Key Stone and now Diancie is glowing into a Mega Diancie. Elline asks, "Diancie can Mega Evolve?"

Diancie then creates a new diamond to protect us from another hit, and this diamond does not shatter. "That's it! A Heart Diamond!"

"And it's super effective." David says.

After Diancie returns back into its form, Yveltal is still flying around. We notice a ship that belongs to the Chesnaught girl and they proceed to fire missiles at Yveltal to hurt it, but Yveltal dodges many of the missiles and survives the damage. It then flies above the ship and shatters the top, then fires an Oblivion Wing at the Steels from point-blank range, and the ship's engines explode. The ship crashes into a lake.

Just when Yveltal is about to attack us once more, Xerneas shows up and uses Aurora Beam to intercept it.

"Yveltal, please stop this mess!" Xerneas begs as Yveltal's rage begins to die down.

"Xerneas, I…" Yveltal sees the damage he made, and he says, "I did it again…"

As Xerneas tries to comfort Yveltal, Pikachu, and Zoroark start to fall to the ground. "Pikachu, Zoroark, what's wrong?"

Just then, we find both Pikachu and Zoroark are turning into stones, tears are forming in our eyes. "No, Pikachu... Zoroark... Please, come back!"

Serena and I are hugging our petrified Pokemon, it is then Xerneas uses Geomancy, and all the ones who turn into stones are changed back to normal. However, in the end, Xerneas has to turn into a giant tree because it uses up its energies.

After Xerneas is now sleeping, Yveltal lands in front of us. He bows and frowns, "I'm very sorry, Chosen one..."

Seeing how Yveltal is feeling bad about what happened, I decide to approach and say, "It is fine Yveltal, we have often done things we regretted."

"I also wish to come with you. Though it doesn't seem that Xerneas will be able to..." Yveltal says.

"It's fine. Welcome to the team." I say while Yveltal gives us the customized Pokeball before it is sucked inside.

Yveltal: The Destruction Pokemon: Dark and Flying Type. When this legendary Pokémon's wings and tail feathers spread wide and glow red, it absorbs the life force of living creatures.

After we go back to the Diamond Domain, we watch as Diancie creates a new Heart Diamond, and everything ends well.

"Now that the kingdom has saved…" Diancie says, "I can finally go with you."

"You are coming with us?" Serena asks.

"Princess?" Every Carbink asks.

"Ever since I met the chosen one, I have learned a lot about the outside world. I want to explore it." Diancie says.

Then Dace says, "Then let me come with you too. I will do my best to protect you."

Ash nods and captures the two Pokemon, then they bid farewell to the other Carbink in the domain.

Carbink: The Jewel Pokemon: Rock and Fairy Type. It has slept underground for hundreds of millions of years since its birth. It's occasionally found during the excavation of caves.

Diancie: The Jewel Pokemon: Rock and Fairy Type. A sudden transformation of Carbink, its pink, glimmering body is said to be the loveliest sight in the whole world.

"So you say that after being hit by Yveltal's Oblivion Wing, Frogadier didn't turn into stone, instead, it turned into a Shiny Pokemon?" In the Pokemon Center, I contacted my Dad.

"That's right. Do you think something has happened to Frogadier? I mean... this is not normal." I say.

"I am not sure what is going on, Frogadier might have been experimented on in the past..." My Dad replies. "Did Nurse Joy say something about it as well?"

"Nothing. Nurse Joy says that it is fine as well... she thinks that it is ridiculous that a Pokemon can just turn into a Shiny Pokemon like that..." Serena says.

"I will try to ask other members of Team Alpha about this case. If we have the news, we'll call you." Then the call ends as we continue to travel.


This chapter is kinda hard to write since this is a movie, not a regular episode. As for why I didn't let Ash and the others capture Xerneas, let's say that there is a big role for it later on. I hope you like this chapter.
