Owen, very aware of those same risks, said, "I don't think those phantom things will try to attack us unless we're closer to the depths of the Tree. Right now I think we'll be okay... Let's try to be careful."
Through the dense forestry, they made it to a clearing per Wishkeeper's guidance. There, they saw a surreal sight--one that, at first, Owen wasn't sure if he had been dreaming it or not.
Lying in the clearing was Xerneas and Diyem, curled around each other in a cozy little ball with Xerneas acting as a large bed for the Charizard, who was between his four legs. They were both sound asleep, a few Pidgey on Xerneas' antlers while ground-bound, smaller Pokemon were sleeping under Diyem's wings. It was like something straight out of a fairy tale.
"...You're... all seeing this, right?" Owen asked them.
