Not only Lysandre, but even Diancie and Fennekin were startled by Elias's sudden icy reaction.
Seeing Elias's expression harden, Diancie's heart ward slightly, and she felt her nose tingle with emotion.
She'd always known Elias was strong.
Yet it was only when sothing concerned her safety that he'd beco like this.
Thinking that, she reached out her little hand and softly clutched at the hem of his shirt.
It seed that by doing so, she could feel safer.
Unlike Diancie, Fennekin pressed her lips together with a bit of envy.
Though also a Pokémon, she'd left her group very early.
Growing up alone, she had only herself to depend on when danger ca.
If she could win, she'd strike back—but if not, she could only flee and hide, just like she'd done facing Yveltal.
It'd be nice if I had a ghost companion like that…
Thinking this, Fennekin narrowed her eyes slightly.
Diancie wouldn't lose much by sharing him a little, right?
...
Not far away with Elias's Aura Sphere aid straight at him, Lysandre quickly regained composure.
One wrong answer and he could say goodbye to all his dreams right here.
Yet, strangely, he didn't feel panic at all.
Rather, the stronger Elias seed, the more he desired cooperation.
In Lysandre's eyes now, Elias himself had beco even more valuable than Diancie.
"Sir, I can't explain the exact thod clearly right now," Lysandre began carefully.
"But if you're truly interested, look into the great disaster that occurred in this region over a thousand years ago."
"The details of a certain 'Ultimate Weapon' ntioned there—I promise it won't disappoint you."
Lysandre took two deep breaths as he spoke.
The Ultimate Weapon was a genuine historical event that had occurred in Kalos, though very few knew of its existence.
If not for his unique status and ticulous research, even he might not have given it a second thought.
Hearing Lysandre's words, Elias clenched his fist slightly.
The man wasn't lying.
Even monitoring with Aura confird no sign of deceit.
Quietly committing the na "Ultimate Weapon" to mory, Elias slowly withdrew his hand.
"Shalour City. The library at the city center."
"If you wish to et, wait there at the end of each month. I'll co find you."
Whether Lysandre was truthful or not, Elias had still decided to offer a way to contact him.
If what Lysandre said could truly help, it would be fantastic news.
Although Dianna had recovered considerably, her strength still wasn't what it once was.
Creating giant diamonds was now nearly impossible for her.
Once the diamond's lifespan ended, Diancie would still inevitably inherit her role as queen.
But even aside from these external pressures, Elias sincerely wished for Diancie's full recovery.
Thus, he couldn't possibly ignore Lysandre's words.
Having secured Elias's contact info, Lysandre seed delighted.
"Sir, I promise you won't regret this," Lysandre assured confidently.

[Shortly afterward, you, your Pokémon, and Lysandre left the forest together.]
[At the forest outskirts, you parted ways after confirming your agreent.]
[Although delayed slightly beyond your original plans, you still set off towards Diantha's estate to keep your appointnt.]

"Elias, my body's already feeling much better, so you don't need to worry so much."
Diancie gently tugged Elias's clothes, softly reassuring him.
Ever since separating from Lysandre, Elias had been deep in thought.
This worried her sowhat.
While she did hope for her full recovery, she didn't want Elias troubled by her condition.
"Mm, I'm alright."
Elias gently rubbed Diancie's soft cheek, smiling warmly.
Indeed, whether Lysandre's words were true or not, he'd eventually find out.
Moreover, he remained confident he could heal Diancie even without Lysandre's help.
In Elias's arms, Fennekin subtly glanced at Elias and Diancie.
Unlike before, her eyes no longer held envy or internal conflict.
Instead, a cunning glint now replaced it.
...
Shalour City wasn't particularly large.
Not long afterward, Elias arrived at the location Diantha had given.
Situated at the edge of the city, it offered clear views of golden beaches and gently rolling ocean waves.
Houses here undoubtedly enjoyed beautiful sea views.
"Elias, over here!"
Just as Elias began searching for Diantha's villa, a familiar voice called out.
Turning his head, Elias saw Diantha standing by the entrance of a villa.
She seed to have been waiting for quite so ti; under the scorching heat, her little face had beco flushed.
Seeing Elias arrive as promised, Diantha felt indescribably joyful.
Usually, she spent most of her days in solitude.
Rarely did guests visit—and especially one she was so interested in—so excitent naturally welled up in her heart.
Without waiting for Elias to approach, Diantha hurried forward herself.
Yet upon noticing Diancie beside him, she faintly pursed her lips in displeasure.
Of course, that annoying one still followed along.
After deliberately ignoring Diancie, Diantha's gaze eagerly shifted back to Elias.
However, before she could properly feel happy, her expression froze once more.
Why is there another one?!
Spotting Fennekin squinting lazily in Elias's arms, Diantha felt a tightness in her chest.
Diancie alone was already too many—now there was another Pokémon?
Fortunately, at least Fennekin seed fairly normal…
Having reassured herself, Diantha put her smile back on, preparing to greet Elias—
But once again, she didn't manage a word.
Before she could speak, a figure had already lunged straight onto Elias.
Even worse, this particular figure was extrely familiar to her.
"La-lu!"
Completely abandoning her usual calm deanor, Ralts eagerly teleported directly onto Elias.
She had long overheard Diantha's call and knew Elias would visit today.
Just recalling the human who fed her delicious Psychic energy caused her breath to quicken in excitent.
Now feeling that familiar aura, Ralts comfortably squinted in delight.
Her only complaint was that there was already another Pokémon curled up in his arms.
Facing this sight, Diantha's expression imdiately stiffened.
For the first ti, she actually felt a trace of anger towards her own Pokémon.
Don't get mad… She's your Pokémon... yours…
Grinding her teeth, Diantha resisted the urge to grab Ralts by the neck and pull her straight off Elias.
