Pokémon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction

Diancie, princess of the Diamond Domain, needs to find Xerneas to create a new Heart Diamond, because the current one is dying and taking her realm with it. She meets Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie, and the group escorts her, chased by bounty hunters and by thieves Argus and Millis Steel, who want the diamonds she can make. In the Allearth Forest, the fighting wakes Yveltal, which turns people and Pokémon to stone, Pikachu included. Diancie Mega Evolves for the first time and creates the missing diamond. Xerneas arrives, stands up to Yveltal and restores everyone, then becomes a tree to protect the forest.

• Mid-credits In the Japanese version, the credits reveal that Argus and Millis Steel now run a chocolate shop, with a signature chocolate shaped like Honedge. The English dub cut the credits scenes.
