Among the participants from the previous World Championship, apart from Fang Yuan, there was almost no one who could confidently defeat Xie Qingyi in terms of strength.
However, even with such progress, Xie Qingyi became speechless once she discovered Princess Tianxi's strength.
The Princess Tianxi who, during the World Championship, was instantly defeated by Eevee's Z-Move at her species limit, now had the strength of an ordinary Guardian God in her normal state.
After Mega Evolution, her strength reached the level of a Top Guardian God.
The potential unleashed by the Mega Evolution of a Phantom Elf completely surpassed that of an ordinary Pokemon's Mega Evolution.
In less than three years... from below a Guardian God to nearing legend, the growth rate of a Phantom Elf was something she didn't know how to evaluate.
Many Trainers pursue the theory of racial potential, and it's not without reason.
"But the real monster should be Fang Yuan..."
Thinking of Fang Yuan's progression in strength, Xie Qingyi felt frustrated by the comparison.
Seriously, that Eevee of his... if it faced this Princess Tianxi now, could it still win as easily as it did in the World Championship?
It probably could...
"This is the Holy Diamond."
Underneath the colossal Holy Diamond, Princess Tianxi led Xie Qingyi, Carlos, and their Pokemon on a tour of the Mining Nation's operational model.
As the future queen of the Pokeby Kingdom, Xie Qingyi's Pixie watched with utmost seriousness.
"No matter how many times I see it, it still feels incredible..." Carlos, with her golden-brown hair, said, "The entire Spirit Kingdom... it all operates on this, doesn't it?"
"The Pokeby Paradise also has a force underneath it that serves as an energy source, and this supports the whole nation's functions, quite similar to this one," Xie Qingyi said.
"It's just a pity... Lord Fang Yuan couldn't come to the Diamond Mine Nation." The Princess Tianxi up ahead expressed her disappointment, "I really wanted to show him my newly acquired power."
And coincidentally, give Fang Yuan a piece of the Holy Diamond she had created.
"As for him... he's quite busy," Xie Qingyi said with a slight smile, probably so.
If you also represent the French Association in the battle of Guardian Gods, you will surely see him afterward.
By then, there's a big chance you'll be the one being beaten up.
Xie Qingyi had already learned to predict the course of events using Fang Yuan's mindset.
This Princess Tianxi, eager to prove her progress to Fang Yuan, was likely to end up defeated again.
Xie Qingyi secretly clenched her fist and made a bet with herself, not believing it—just wait and see...
"Doctor Fang Yuan, huh..."
Upon mentioning Fang Yuan, Carlos's eyes revealed complex emotions for this Trainer who concluded their battle in the World Championship and taught them a lesson, her feelings were intricate.
Almost three years have passed, and she could only feel that Fang Yuan was becoming more distant from her and the other contemporaries, serving as one of China's Twelve Branches, inventing transmission technology, becoming a legendary researcher, making a brief appearance on Alliance Island to effortlessly defeat a Guardian Grade Illusion Elf—she was very curious about the manner in which Fang Yuan would reappear next time.
"If it's him, he will definitely appear in the battle of Guardian Gods," Carlos thought.
While Carlos imagined what the next meeting with Fang Yuan would be like, suddenly, her phone rang. It might be due to them being underground in the Mining Nation, as the signal coverage was quite poor.
"This is Carlos." After connecting, Carlos realized it was a call from the association and immediately inquired about the situation.
"Kalos Champion, Carlos..." The voice on the other end was urgent.
A few seconds later, Carlos's expression froze.
"What happened?"
Noticing Carlos's change, both Princess Tianxi and Xie Qingyi turned their attention to her.
At that moment, Carlos's face was still frozen, and she said something difficult to accept:
"Yveltal has appeared, and it's very close to the Fairy Forest!"
"It's the Legendary Catastrophe predicted by Master ZI Wan!"
"What?!" Upon hearing Carlos's words, Xie Qingyi stood there stunned.
"Yveltal." Princess Tianxi of the Diamond Mine Nation was also taken aback, and simultaneously, all the Pokemon in the Fairy Forest and even those within the underground Diamond Mine Nation felt a terrifying aura approaching.
...
...
Yveltal's descent, Master ZI Wan had probably been the first to notice because of his distance and precognition superpower. The French Association reacted swiftly afterward, and then following on, the next response came from the World Tree Dreams in China.
The World Tree Dreams had been monitoring the changes in Earth spacetime. Even though Yveltal was initially in a cocoon-form, asleep within a Super Miniature Secret Realm in the forest, once Yveltal awakened and the Secret Realm completely merged with Earth space, the Dreams sensed it, even though it was simultaneously observing the entire Earth space. The merge of a Legendary Mystery was just too conspicuous.
But, the Dreams could also feel that not only had Y Bird descended, X Deer seemed to have appeared as well.
And besides, maybe... that guy was also coming.
The overseer of the ecosystem's state, Zygarde.
While the World Tree Dreams had quite good relations with Ho-Oh and the King of Holy Pillar, its relationship with Zygarde was rather average.
To understand why, one needs to start with their origins and functions. The World Tree was a special life form born alongside the Pokémon World, and its initial role was to regulate the ecological balance of the planet. However, with the birth of Z God Zygarde, the latter outright took over the job of the World Tree. Furthermore, Zygarde wasn't content with just supervising its birthplace, Kalos Region, but also split into countless cells, taking the form of green nematodes and scattered across the world...
