As Diancie, being the princess of the Diamond Domain, has a responsibility in maintaining the balance of its ecosystem by making a new Heart Diamond. However she lacks the power to create a stable Heart Diamond, so she seeks help from Xerneas, as its Fairy Aura can revitalize energy. As Diancie's journey begin, she bumped into Ash and his friends, soon deciding to accompany Diancie in her pursuit of Xerneas. As the team pursue the legendary Pokémon, several theives are also in pursue of Diancie to take advantage of her ability to create diamonds. The team catches a moment with Xerneas and bathed under its Fairy Aura. Xerneas then tells Diancie that Fairy Aura is not what she needs, but there is a power inside Diancie. The chase leads to Allearth Forest and the activity of every person awakened and enraged the Cocoon of Destruction, Yveltal. Yveltal goes on a rampage and fires Oblivion Wing all over the place, petrifying the thieves and their Pokémon. Yveltal gains on the team, continually firing harmful beams that triggered an extreme emotion within Diancie, enabling her to Mega Evolve, harnessing her true power. As Ash's Pikachu starts to petrify as his tail was hit by a beam earlier. Before he is completely petrified, Xerneas appears and battles Yveltal, and its mere presence appears to quell Yveltal's rage. Yveltal then flew calmly away from the forest. Soon after, Xerneas uses its Fairy Aura to revitalize the forest and revive the Pokémon and people petrified, including Pikachu. Xerneas then transforms into its dormant form and will look over Allearth Forest for the next thousand years.
