Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

As the only two Psychic-type Pokémon in the team, Braviary and Metagross are different from Milotic and Diancie, whose Psychic abilities are only part of their power.

Their strength largely depends on their powerful superpowers.

With guidance from the legendary Calyrex, a former top-tier psychic-type, their shortcomings in using mental energy were corrected, and their mental energy utilization rate improved significantly.

The psychic power of the Emerald Eagle can be fully integrated into the storm, making it even more dangerous and resilient, just like the Latias and Azur Lane siblings in the Pokémon XY Hoopa movie who used psychic powers to fix the tornado.

Metagross, on the other hand, is affected by the Destruction Gene, and its use of psychic power is more like Mewtwo's, focusing on creating psychic shields, strengthening its body, and launching powerful psychic attacks.

Water poured down like a waterfall cascading from the sky, yet Ye Yibu remained standing atop the mountain, her petite body unshaken for a single second despite the raging storm.

If one had to pinpoint a change... it would be that the sharpness of the long blades formed from the leaves growing on its head has only intensified.

Ye Yibu's eyes were closed, and the story of the owner of the broken horn that had been made into a pendant kept replaying in its mind, which it had heard from Su Hao.

The Holy Swordsman, Virigion.

His movements were as swift as a whirlwind, and his sword intent as sharp as a sword leaf.

It never follows the paths that predecessors have already trod, not even the legendary power.

What suits you best is always what you cultivate and discover yourself.

The way of the sword can only be mastered through self-enlightenment...

"Hmm... It feels like Yeeev is becoming more and more like a Pokémon cultivating immortality." Su Hao muttered to himself as he squatted in the wind and rain shelter created by Calyrex.

He noticed that ever since he gave the broken horn of Biligion to Yeebu, it had spent most of its time sitting in the same spot, except for tending to its little garden.

Although it was said to be resting, the aura surrounding Ye Yibu was so strong.

“Cultivating immortality? What’s that?” King Lei Guan tilted his head, not understanding the meaning of the words Su Hao was using.

"Shh-"

Before Su Hao could properly explain to the Crass-Crowned King what cultivation was, the Crass-Crowned King suddenly reached out to tell Su Hao to be quiet. The Emerald Warrior Eagle and the Metagross in the sky also turned their gazes toward the mountain peak where Ye Yibu was.

Su Hao looked up and discovered that Ye Yibu on the mountaintop had opened her eyes at some point.

A chilling glint quickly appeared in his brown pupils.

The leaf elf, which had been sitting still, murmured softly, and its grass-green longsword instantly burst into dazzling light.

Time seemed to freeze, all the notes were stopped, and the entire space was divided in two.

At the same time, Ye Yibu slowly got up.

Its pupils dilated, reflecting the scene of the raging storm, and a refreshing scent began to fill the air.

Then...

Yeebu's leaf blade slashed out!

In an instant, the whole world seemed to freeze, leaving only Ye Yibu's agile sword movements as he slashed through the air.

The howling wind subsided, and the torrential rain was cut in two by the soaring sword intent.

It was as if even the storm was captivated by Yeebu's skill.

Su Hao was shocked, the Emerald Warrior Eagle was stunned, and the Megalomon recalled some less-than-pleasant memories.

But the Queen of the Lace Crown wanted to applaud Ye Yibu's sword strike.

Who says Grass-type Pokémon aren't good at offensive combat?!

The storm continued to rage the next second, but that sword light had already been deeply engraved in the hearts of all the Pokémon present.

Even amidst the howling winds, the sounds of chains snapping and barriers shattering were so clear.

Ye Yibu's soaring, sharp sword intent paused, and his aura rose steadily as if it were perfectly natural.

It later stabilized at a level several times stronger than before.

Along with that stunning sword strike, Ye Yibu's level broke through to the early stage of the professional level.

Metagross, having undergone its final evolution and reached the late Elite level, finally thought it had a chance to escape its bottom-ranked status.

Upon witnessing this scene, it was devastated.

However, Ye Yibu, who had made such an astonishing move, only sighed and then continued to comprehend his own way of the sword while holding the broken horn of Virigion.

It only cut off a moment of the storm; it's far from enough to avenge himself and his people.

.....................................

On the eleventh day of the thirteen-day intensive training, Su Hao was startled by Diancie, who had suddenly grown a head taller than him and looked even more robust.

"Holy crap, what happened?!"

Su Hao admitted that he was currently experiencing a mental breakdown.

Imagine waking up to find your beloved starter Pokémon suddenly enlarged to the same size. Who wouldn't be devastated?

However, Diancie was also confused about her current situation, so she explained the situation to Kyurem, whom she had sent.

These past few days, He and Galarian Moltres have been working overtime to push Incineroar, that blockhead, especially Galarian Moltres, who is so anxious that he's practically breathing fire as the deadline approaches.

Kyurem glanced at Diancie with a strange expression and said, "Since the day before yesterday, Little Diamond has been observing how that little chick teaches the little tiger, while I've been taking every opportunity to let the little tiger experience the principle of intersecting forces."

"But... just now, before the little tiger had even learned that evil aura, the little diamond suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light that almost blinded me, and then its size suddenly increased to this size."

Su Hao: "........."

Seeing Su Hao's hesitant expression, Tianxi's pink eyes began to well up with tears, and she cried out even more desperately than Su Hao, "Waaah... Su Hao, I don't want to suddenly become so big, it looks so ugly!"

It always wanted to grow taller, but it didn't want to turn out like this...

I don't want to become even more muscular than Su Hao!

"What happened?" The Lady Crown King arrived on horseback at that moment, her blue eyes looking at Diancie with surprise in them. "This is... such a magical aura!"

In the eyes of the Lacecrown, although Diancie's suddenly enlarged size was indeed eye-catching, it was the faint golden aura surrounding her that was the focus of the Lacecrown's attention.

"Don't be afraid."

Su Hao jumped up and patted Tianxi's head to comfort her. Before Tianxi could pout and drop the little pearl because of this, Su Hao quickly revealed the answer to his guess.

"I'm afraid... this is a mysterious power called the Overlord's Aura!"

"Domineering aura?"

The Crowned King chewed on those four words carefully, his eyes thoughtful.

Under Tianxi's expectant gaze, Su Hao thought for a moment and then shared his understanding of the aura of a hegemon.

"Dominant Aura... is another manifestation of Diancie's special power, a brilliant aura composed of light. Pokémon enveloped by this aura will become larger, and their abilities will also be enhanced to a certain extent."

"Aside from cases like Diancie's... it's all good and no bad."

“That’s not bad. Although changing my body shape isn’t difficult for me, this aura is quite interesting,” Kyurem said with interest.

Diancie wasn't particularly interested in the domineering aura... Even with Su Hao's explanation, it still wanted to know if it could remove that aura.

At least from its own perspective, the domineering aura doesn't enhance it as much as using Earth Control; it's better than nothing.

Even though the Blazing Roaring Tiger hadn't slept much and had been studying hard for several days without being able to construct an evil aura, he had just tried it out of curiosity in the same way, and this domineering aura appeared.

"Su Hao... I want to change back." Diancie looked at Su Hao with pleading eyes.

"No."

Surprisingly, Su Hao, who was always willing to grant requests, refused Tianxi's request.

Su Hao looked up at Diancie, his expression and tone unusually serious: "Dianci, this is an opportunity."

"An opportunity?" Tianxi looked at Su Hao in confusion.

Su Hao said, word by word, "This is the path you have been searching for all this time, the path that belongs to you."

“Unlike the Diancie queens of past generations, who had the authority to pass on their power after the mutation, only one Diancie is born in each generation. Before the previous generation returns to the Eternal Diamond, there will be no second small diamond that mutates into Diancie.”

"But you are a special second one, and you have a close relationship with Xerneas. Since you cannot resonate with Diancie's Mega Stone, you can only look for other possibilities."

"As a derivative of the power that originates from your Radiant Power, the Overlord Aura will definitely play a very important role for you. In order to rescue Xerneas as soon as possible, temporary appearance is not something that cannot be overcome."

Su Hao spoke at length, then, seeing Diancie fall silent, he knew he needed to give her some time and space to think. He gently beckoned the Cerecrown and Kyurem to leave the temple ruins.

Following Su Hao slowly down the foot of the holy mountain, Kyurem winked at the Lady Crown King as he watched Su Hao's back as he fell into deep thought.

The Lady Crown King discovered that she could actually understand Kyurem's general meaning.

"All those random terms Su Hao just used, like 'dominant aura,' 'mutation,' 'small diamond,' and 'Xerneas,' I don't understand them at all."

Damn it!

However, it wasn't that the Lacecrown King couldn't understand Kyurem's thoughts. After all, even He only had a vague understanding of what Su Hao was saying, and could only attribute it to Su Hao coming from the future.

Ten thousand years seemed both incredibly long and fleeting to Him, who was no longer facing the threat of death.
