Gardevoir, bolstered by the Fairy blessing, used Moonblast to briefly suppress Yveltal. Even the Pokémon that lorded over death showed a hint of astonishment for a fraction of a second.
—Because why did this Gardevoir... have a hint of Xerneas's shadow and aura!?
Xerneas, Xerneas... Xerneas!
"Vwoom—"
Just as the enraged Yveltal was about to lash out, it was struck square in the back by a sneak attack from Mewtwo using Thunderbolt. A numbing sensation surged through its body!
On the other side, Lorze, slumped on the ground, was still a bit dazed: It really is Gardevoir...
What she left him was a tall, beautiful back view, stunning and powerful, instilling a sense of security.
That adorable Kirlia has grown into a graceful, elegant young woman. It's truly... unbelievable.
Lorze quickly scrambled up from the ground. I'm not dying, I'm not dying! I absolutely must survive together with Sis Gardevoir and everyone!
"Sis Gardevoir!"
Hugging Gardevoir from behind, her soft, smooth, light-blue hair lightly teased Lorze's cheeks and neck. Her fresh body scent rushed into his nasal cavity, stimulating his brain, making him irresistibly bury his face into her neck and take two deep sniffs—
Although Lorze's action was a bit sudden, Gardevoir didn't mind. Instead, with a blush on her cheeks, she enjoyed the young man's embrace and demands.
And what kind of nickname is "Sis Gardevoir"? But it sounds quite intimate... I like it!
"Hehe~ Big Brother Lorze is making it tickle so much~"
Unfortunately, now wasn't the time for romance. Big Sister Mewtwo was still facing off against Yveltal alone. Lorze knew he had to join the battle alongside Gardevoir.
He suddenly fished out the Gardevoirite made into a pendant from his pocket. This was... obtained from Mr. Steven. Glancing at Steven, who had turned into stone not far away, Lorze felt a pang of deep sorrow.
Don't worry, Mr. Steven, I will avenge you together with Sis Gardevoir, using the Mega Stone you gave me!
"Gardevoir, do you remember I said before that you could also Mega Evolve like Big Sister Mewtwo?"
"Mhm! Could it be..."
Lorze smiled and helped Gardevoir put on the pendant, then used his right hand to hold her left hand, intertwining their fingers—So soft and tender, feels so good to the touch!
"Sis Gardevoir? Let's go together~"
"Big Brother Lorze is saying such weird things! But... okay!"
Raising his right hand wearing the Key Stone wristband and Gardevoir's left hand high, Gardevoir—Mega Evolve!
The energy bursting from the Key Stone and Mega Stone tightly linked Lorze's and Gardevoir's auras together. Driven by Lorze's spiritual power, Gardevoir also metamorphosed into a black queen with a wide hoop skirt amidst a dazzling, brilliant rainbow light.
And the touch of Gardevoir's small hand also became a bit different—hazy, as if wearing a thin layer of black silk gloves.
Gardevoir also felt it was increasingly incredible. The endless power surging into her body during Mega Evolution, layered with the blessing obtained from Xerneas, she was simply going to be high off her mind!
She had always envied Big Sister Mewtwo and Big Sister Latias, and wanted to change forms like them to become stronger!
But Lorze slumped into Gardevoir's arms, out of stamina—driving Mega Evolution three consecutive times in one battle, his body felt hollowed out, completely exhausted.
With this intensity, even Lord Ash couldn't handle it... right? No, maybe Lord Ash actually could, but unfortunately, I can't.
But this wasn't bad either, because Lorze took the opportunity to bury his face into Gardevoir's pair of towering peaks. This was a soft hotbed with a rich milky scent, the gentle sanctuary he had been dreaming of.
Allowing Lorze to greedily lean on her, Gardevoir used her left arm to wrap around the young man and hold him steadily: She was using the power she gained to calculate Lorze's level of fatigue. Looking at it this way, Big Brother Lorze, who used Mega Evolution three times in a row, was simply a superhuman!
So he must be exhausted right now. Then let him do whatever he likes~ As for me...
Big Sister Mewtwo, I'm coming to help you!
Elegantly raising her right hand clad in a black silk glove, the queen's oppressive aura instantly manifested—Moonblast!
Sensing something amiss, Yveltal attempted to defend with Dark Pulse again, but that dazzling orb of light peeled away its Dark Pulse barrier layer by layer, finally landing solidly on Its stomach!
"Vwoom!!!"
On that day, Yveltal recalled the terror of being dominated by Xerneas. Since that's the case, you can all go to hell!
Oblivion Wing, maximum output!
Using Moonblast again, but this time it was completely unable to contend with Oblivion Wing...
"Sou..."
Gardevoir's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, but for her Master, for everyone, she couldn't fall yet. she had to give it her all and hold on...
And all of this was seen by Diancie.
First, she was saved by Mr. Lorze and Kirlia. After that, Mr. Steven was petrified by Oblivion Wing because he protected her...
Finally, her good friend Kirlia metamorphosed into the elegant and beautiful Gardevoir. Her queen-like aura made Diancie, who was a princess, feel ashamed of her own unworthiness.
But what left an even deeper impression on her was the courage to step forward to protect someone important.
All these things stimulated the Diamond Princess's heart. She felt some thought sprouting, and couldn't help but recall what Xerneas had said earlier.
"The one who can nurture life is yourself."
What does this mean? Could it be... as long as I do like my good friend Kirlia, can I also possess the power to protect everyone?
Examining the voice in her heart, her true thoughts...
Diancie scanned the surroundings. The originally vibrant Allearth Forest had been devastated beyond recognition by Yveltal. If this was caused because she sought out Xerneas, it was absolutely not the outcome she wished to see.
And now her good friend could hardly hold on anymore. Carefully recalling the aura released when Gardevoir Mega Evolved just now, Diancie closed her eyes.
That's right! I... can also do it!
Diancie rushed out without hesitation. She wanted to fight side-by-side with her good friend—
"Her Highness Diancie, you mustn't!"
But the next second, under the shocked gazes of the three Carbinks, Diancie's body also erupted with rainbow-colored light.
Wait, could it be that Her Highness Diancie...
The raw ore impurities on the surface of her body peeled off layer by layer. Diancie's lower body metamorphosed into a smoothly cut pink diamond, and two pure white ribbons extended from the top of her head, becoming the true Diamond Princess!
Xerneas's Fairy blessing was certainly more important, but what was even more important was the power originating from the heart—although idealistic, this kind of power just possessed miraculous effects.
A flower in a greenhouse cannot lead a country forward. Only by shouldering the willingness to protect others can one metamorphose into a true princess, and at the same time, this was the key for Diancie to master Mega Evolution.
"Diancie!? Why did you... come over..."
"Sis Gardevoir, I'm here to help!"
Raising both hands to exert power, pink diamond shards flowed spirally without end, finally generating a massive Diamond Storm—together with Moonblast, constructing the Fairy's Wall of Sighs, once again neutralizing the attack of Oblivion Wing!
And right at this moment, the belated Xerneas finally appeared...
