Underground Kingdom
Cogita sat in the courtyard, staring into the distance at the giant diamond, now dimmed to a dull, lifeless husk, lost in thought.
Not long ago, its radiance had been weakening—but it had still been bright enough to be dazzling.
Yet, in an extremely short span, the diamond’s energy seemed to drain away entirely.
In the blink of an eye, only its core retained a faint, lingering glow.
“So… it failed after all…”
Remembering Dianna and Diancie’s panic as they rushed out earlier, Cogita murmured under her breath.
She had already guessed the diamond’s abnormality had something to do with Diancie.
Or rather…
With Elias.
At that thought, Cogita pressed her lips together. The calm surface of her mind rippled in waves.
Unlike before, she now had a premonition—she would undoubtedly meet Elias again.
But…
Ultimately, that was merely a vague feeling in her heart.
She feared more that it might only be an illusion—a fantasy she’d created to numb herself.
After a long while—she took a deep breath and slowly stood.
“Enamorus. It’s time for us to leave, too.”
Cogita turned to the Pokémon beside her and spoke softly.
With the giant diamond no longer illuminating the way, the underground world had become pitch-black.
Enamorus held a small oil lamp that emitted a faint, yellowish glow.
Hearing Cogita’s words, she nodded gently.
After more than a year underground, she felt that if she didn’t go outside soon, she’d turn into a Rock-type Pokémon herself.
But…
Watching Cogita’s back, Enamorus scratched her head, puzzled.
Perhaps it was her imagination, but she couldn’t shake the feeling that her master had grown stronger than before…
Could it be related to living underground for so long, too?
Enamorus didn’t really understand.
…
[Simulation over.]
[Analyzing…]
The system’s mechanical voice echoed in Elias’s mind.
Perhaps because he’d died more peacefully this time—Elias didn’t experience the familiar heavy haze that usually followed a Simulation’s end.
The memories from the run flowed smoothly into his mind.
Like an icy spring, gradually filling in everything he’d experienced.
“Haa…”
Elias exhaled deeply. His mind felt indescribably refreshed.
Because he’d lived a full century, the memory integration was unusually slow.
Yet, at the same time—from his days as mere ore, to being picked up by Diancie, then gradually gaining clear consciousness—decades of sleep, being raised under Cogita’s care…
Then awakening again—founding Team Flare with Lysandre, training Diantha’s Gardevoir…
Until the very end… thoroughly satisfied, completing that final transaction with Xerneas.
A hundred years of memories washed repeatedly through Elias’s consciousness, briefly leaving him dazed.
The last image was fixed on Xerneas biting through his neck.
Yet having his neck bitten through in Ghost Form didn’t cause the agonizing pain one might expect.
On the contrary, Xerneas seemed to use some special method—cleanly and decisively extinguishing his consciousness.
“Diancie… seems she arrived at the end?”
Thinking back to the faint cries he’d heard at his moment of death, Elias sucked in a cold breath.
With Dianna’s decisiveness, she’d likely rush over the instant she felt something was off.
And if she happened to witness the moment his neck was bitten through—Elias suddenly found himself worrying for Xerneas’s safety.
Hope the deer’s still alive.
[Analyzation Complete]: Comprehensive Rating: S (The Underground World’s Only Queen)
[Special Achievement]: A Princess’s Journey to Queenhood
[Hidden Achievement]: Healing the Former Queen Dianna
[Additional Achievement]: Reunion with Cogita[All Achievements Completed]
[Comprehensive Rating Adjusted to: S+]
A translucent system interface popped up before Elias’s eyes.
Staring at the list of achievements, Elias’s eyes widened slightly.
There was no walkthrough for Simulations—he hadn’t expected to unlock so many at once.
He’d even managed to brute-force his score up an entire tier through achievements alone.
Kalos truly was a land blessed with fortune and talent…
Elias nodded, suddenly appreciating Dianna’s habit of buying property all across Kalos.
[The Queen who grew into her crown is undeniably radiant. Yet only a handful know the foundation of it all was a ghost born from stone.]
[You were neither the Pokémon League’s dazzling new star nor a household-name idol. As a ghost, you were destined to remain unknown to most.]
[Yet this did not stop you from forging the Underground World’s only throne using Yveltal’s scars, Zygarde’s compromise, Xerneas’s blessing, and… your own life.]
[To a princess born flawed—whom nobody believed in—you were unquestionably the only god in her world.]
[Rewards]:
Xerneas’s Blessing ×1
Dianna’s Gift ×1
Diancie’s Gift ×1.[Special Rewards]:
Team Flare Identity Certification ×1
Ghost-type Affinity ×1
Fairy-type Affinity ×1
Diancie Mega Stone ×1[Achievement Reward]:
100 Random Properties.
The rewards page flashed continuously, and the system’s chimes rang nonstop in Elias’s ears.
Their sheer generosity left his mind buzzing.
Seeing the two type affinities—and Xerneas’s blessing—his eyes lit up.
Type affinity was self-explanatory: once a Pokémon’s strength plateaued, the Trainer’s level became decisive.
With Fairy- and Ghost-type affinity, Gardevoir, Gengar, and the others would inevitably rise another notch.
And Xerneas’s Blessing…
It had already played a crucial role during the Simulation.
Not only had it healed Dianna, it also suppressed Yveltal.
In the end, the blessing had made the deal with Xerneas possible.
Purely in terms of healing, Life Energy’s effectiveness might even surpass the Power of Viridian.
“Hm?”
After scanning the type affinities, Elias looked at another reward, slightly puzzled.
Diancie’s Mega Stone.
If he recalled correctly, wasn’t that something Diancie could make herself after she produced giant diamonds?
Considering Diancie’s current strength, crafting one shouldn’t be difficult at all.
Elias narrowed his eyes.
The system had been stealing things for a long time now. This might be another theft…
He quietly filed the matter away, deciding he’d inquire later.

System: That’s called “stealing” now?!
