She then said that if she happened to visit [[Lumiose City]], she will visit him. Diantha asked the heroes and Professor Sycamore to watch the battle. The battle started and Diantha with her Gardevoir faced [[Magnus]] and [[Magnus' Absol|his Absol]]. When Absol used [[Bite]], Diantha winked to Gardevoir, who dodged the attack. Absol then used [[Quick Attack]] and Diantha winked again to Gardevoir, who dodged the attack again. Diantha ordered Gardevoir to use [[Shadow Ball]] to intercept with Absol's [[Psycho Cut]]. Diantha then ordered Gardevoir to use [[Moonblast]] to finish Absol off. Absol was defeated and Diantha won the battle. Diantha and Magnus shaked hands at the end of the battle.

Diantha was glad but she noticed that it was the heroes who invited her and revealed herself to them, which startled them. The heroes and Diantha ate the gateau and were amazed by the flavor.

Diantha spoke with [[Olympia (anime)|Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of [[Zygarde]]. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. Diantha warned them about certain incidents in Kalos, where places were overgrown with strange roots. She feared it was due to Zygarde, who is said to awaken from a deep cave to protect Kalos, when the region was in danger. When she was informed about the [[Bond Phenomenon|mystical power]] of Ash and [[Ash's Greninja|Greninja]], she requested to battle Ash again, to see this power.

After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play.

She asked them to give their best in the upcoming battles. Diantha also watched the battle of Alain vs. Trevor.[9] When Ash battled Sawyer, Diantha, who was interested in the battle, noticed how Ash had a special bond with Pikachu.[10] Continuing watching the battle, Diantha wondered what would Sawyer do against Pikachu, since he did have Aegislash cut the trees. After Ash defeated Sawyer, Diantha commented how trainers like Ash and Sawyer would benefit the world as good trainers.[11] On the day of the Kalos League finals, Diantha sat with Sycamore to watch the battle between Ash and Alain.[12]

Diantha was watching the battle and noted how Ash was a promising trainer with his impressive strategies. She also noted Ash doesn't give up battling to the last moment.[13] Diantha continued watching and was amazed how both trainers didn't give up. After Alain won the Kalos League, Diantha clapped for the intense battle he and Ash have put. In the end, Diantha gave Alain the Kalos League Cup. However, she was shocked to see that some mysterious roots started to spout out in the stadium.[14] Since roots started spouting out in Lumiose City, Diantha had Gardevoir save a man's life by attacking one of the roots. Officer Jenny arrived to Diantha, thanking her for that move. However, she reported while the people were evacuated, more damage was being dealt on the city by the roots. Thus, Diantha went with Officer Jenny away.[15] Diantha Mega Evolved Gardevoir to protect the people from the plants. Tierno, Shauna, Trevor and Sawyer came to her, wishing to help out amidst the chaos. Thus, Diantha had them rescue elders and children, then escort them to safety.[16] With Sawyer's help, Diantha escorted the citizens to safety.[17]

Diantha, Mega Gardevoir, Alain, Mega Charizard, the gang and the Gym Leaders with their Pokémon, watching the sun rise.

Diantha, assisted with the Gym Leaders, came to stop the Giant Rock. She noted the Giant Rock won't leave if they asked 'nicely', so ordered everyone to go away to make a plan. Steven suggested saving Mairin's Chespie, which was located at the spot where Ash-Greninja attacked with Water Shuriken. Diantha agreed and admitted it was an honor to fight alongside Steven, a fellow Champion from the Hoenn region. She exclaimed they were the last line of defense and have to stop the Giant Rock at all costs.[18] Diantha joined in the fight against the Giant Rock, having Mega Gardevoir use Psychic to hold back the roots, along with Steven's Mega Metagross. Since the plants attacked the helicopter, Diantha had Mega Gardevoir rescue Team Rocket, who nearly fell down. Once Chespie was rescued, Diantha had her Mega Gardevoir launch an attack, which fused with others' attacks to destroy the Giant Rock, but failed. Diantha continued watching the events, as Squishy and Z-2 fused and defeated the Giant Rock and Lysandre. In the end, Diantha thanked Olympia since they couldn't stop the Giant Rock without her help.[19]

Ash remembered Diantha and her Gardevoir fighting the Giant Rock with the rest when he was reflecting back on his journey.[20]
