Dun dun~ dun dun dun~!

Following a burst of imagined sound effects, Arceus sighed helplessly, “You all can leave here now.”

The majestic Creator had to moonlight as a medic? Was that even proper?

Lu Ye tucked the Dive Ball containing Blastoise back into his belt, revealing a friendly smile.

“Arceus, we’re friends!”

Arceus fell silent. At this moment, Lu Ye was a completely different person from when they had fought earlier.

But after all, he was the chosen envoy, even granted the Power of Transcendence...

“I look forward to the moment you bring back the Fairy-type Plate,” Arceus said slowly.

“Definitely, definitely.” Lu Ye smiled and nodded.

Arceus’s healing was definitely better than the Chansey at the Pokémon Center.

Having Him repair the cracks saved Teacher Lu from having to use instant noodles for patching... (crossed out)

Arceus smiled helplessly. His golden forelegs tapped out ripples as the surrounding white light gradually dispersed.

“Go back, Lu Ye.”

The ripples formed a water curtain in front of Lu Ye.

Through the water screen, he saw the solemn gazes of Cynthia, alongside Giovanni and the tearful trio standing side by side...

A breeze swept through the ruins of the temple, scattering specks of light. They all showed expressions of surprise.

The entire Michina was bathed in a golden halo;

the dried-up river now babbled, lush greenery flourished, and vitality was restored.

Symbolizing the end of disaster, the golden light particles conveyed a sense of peace.

The injuries of Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga gradually healed within the light, their tired but relieved eyes revealing their feelings.

They really did it...

Facing Arceus directly, they created a miracle!

Seeing these scenes through the water curtain, Lu Ye showed a faint smile.

“I deeply apologize for everything I have done...”

Arceus’s voice was gentle and meaningful:

“Lu Ye, you should go back now.”

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

He recalled Larvitar, who was chewing on a marble pillar, back into the Dark Ball.

“Yoji?” Larvitar reluctantly smacked its lips.

Arceus: “...”

Teacher Lu felt the acquired Power of Transcendence from this journey and closed his eyes.

White threads extended outward from him like radar signals.

The central white light was dazzling—those were the little ones still inside the Poké Balls.

Lu Ye could locate them using the Power of Transcendence.

Unlike the Aura, which conveyed feelings, the Power of Transcendence could directly trigger telepathic resonance in the hearts of Pokémon.

Therefore, Teacher Lu’s future commands could be more covert and smoother.

Furthermore, passing through the barrier of the Hall of Origin,

Teacher Lu could sense the eagerly waiting Darkrai, Mew, and Regigigas...

The Power of Transcendence was truly a force transcending space and time, mainly composed of connections between life.

A faint white light symbolizing friendship connected Lu Ye and Arceus before him.

If any major trouble arises in the future... maybe he could directly call Arceus for help.

At the same time, white light threads intertwined, tightly linking Teacher Lu and Cynthia outside the barrier.

Having endured one disaster after another, their hearts were already closely connected—

It’s really hard to end this without marriage!

“It’s time to go back,” Lu Ye thought.

The white mist enveloping Lu Ye and Arceus gradually dispersed.

When he opened his eyes again, A-Jin and Ash arrived from behind, shouting in unison:

“Teacher Lu, are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Lu Ye shook his head, turned around, and smiled, “We can leave here now.”

Arceus stood on a high platform, lightly tapping His foreleg as a portal surged with energy behind the three. Follow current novels on NoveI~Fire.net

“Woohoo!”

A-Jin flicked his bangs and carried a pool cue, laughing, “When I step up, saving the world is a piece of cake!”

“Senior A-Jin, you almost died here...” Ash said quietly.

“That’s called mutual trust among comrades!” A-Jin glared, glancing at Pikachu, “Just like you and your Pikachu!”

Ash nodded thoughtfully.

Whether it was the Spearow flock or being resurrected by Ho-Oh after falling... Ash had never felt the slightest fear.

Because Ash firmly believed that his pure love for Pokémon could reach the legendary Pokémon.

Pure love... that was also why Teacher Lu had liked this Pallet Town boy since the original series.

Ash walked toward the portal, waved at Arceus, and laughed loudly:

“Goodbye, Arceus!”

Pikachu on his shoulder waved too: “Pikachu~~”

Teacher Lu’s step stiffened for a moment.

Don’t you dare set a flag on me, you idiot!

Arceus’s gaze revealed a trace of a smile as He nodded lightly.

“We will meet again, Ash, Pikachu.”

Teacher Lu: ???

Better never meet again, Arceus!!

...

Michina, Arceus’s temple.

Darkrai lurked in the shadows, gazing at the glowing Michina and murmured:

“Lu Ye... actually succeeded!”

Giovanni held his wind-swayed cap, his eyes flickering as a smile curled his lips.

As expected... the mentor never disappoints.

Liu Bo slowly pushed his wheelchair to Giovanni’s side, cliff winds ruffling his graying hair.

The old man’s gaze reflected the reborn Michina, voice steady: “I must admit... Samuel has a unique vision.”

The Pokédex Holders repeatedly saved a world on the brink of collapse.

And this time... the evil leader, former rival, and Team Rocket (the true protagonists).

Everyone worked together to quell this disaster!

“Yes,” Giovanni said, “they have a precious spirit.”

Liu Bo also felt a profound admiration for the young generation.

Gently stroking the Swinub in his arms, Liu Bo fell into thought.

He wondered if that young man named Lu Ye had caught an Ice-type Pokémon.

Samuel said he seemed good at snow tactics...

Liu Bo’s expression turned serious, like a strict teacher.

Then he thought: let him witness what real snow tactics are!

A gentle breeze blew, and a spatial rift appeared in the rising golden light particles.

Everyone looked toward the same direction.

Cynthia’s black coat flared in the wind, her blonde hair tucked behind her ear, elegant and graceful.

Her gaze softened when she saw a familiar figure, a gentle smile tugging at her lips.

Lu Ye stepped slowly through the spatial gate, locking eyes with Cynthia.

“I’m very tired now.”

Lu Ye’s black hair fluttered in the wind;

his face showed hidden fatigue as he smiled:

“I want a hug from the one I love.”

He must have endured a brutal battle, proved his faith to Arceus, and returned from the collapsing Hall of Origin.

Images of White Poplar Town’s turmoil, glacier catastrophes, and thunderclaps during divine battles flashed before him.

Cynthia stared into those clear black eyes, sensing a quietly changing belief and a deeply buried trace of unease.

“I know.”

She smiled gently, opening her arms to embrace Lu Ye.

“So,” Cynthia whispered in his ear, “it’s all over now...”

Everyone quietly watched this perfect pair, then slightly averted their gaze.

They needed to give them some private time...

Lu Ye took a deep breath of the fresh air, feeling the exhaustion slowly lift, replaced by warmth and tenderness.

“I like you, Bamboo Lan.” Lu Ye said softly.

“I know.” Cynthia replied quietly, “Because I feel the same.”

Giratina flapped its wings, hovering behind the two against the sky, with Palkia and Dialga standing on either side.

The ancient giant loomed behind them, signal lights flickering.

“Mew~~~ ꉂꉂ(ᵔᗜᵔ*)” Mew circled them, chuckling mischievously.

A-Jin was just stepping out of the portal, about to say something when Xiao Yin silently pulled him away.

“Hey, why are you dragging me? I still want to say hi!”

“Don’t cause trouble.”

When Ash stepped out of the portal, he scratched his head in confusion.

Why was Champion Cynthia helping Teacher Lu?

Oh... a stomachache! That’s Teacher Lu’s old problem!

Darkrai quietly appeared from Lu Ye’s elongated shadow, being nudged on the cheek by Gengarrr:

“Gengarrr~('-')ノ)`-')”

This is my spot, don’t steal it, Gengarrr~!

“Stop, let me watch a little longer...” Darkrai mumbled, “Even just a bit is fine...”

The incident had come to an end.

Hina, the temple guardian mastering the Power of Transcendence, was examining the Plate.

Lu Ye stepped forward, looking around the restored palace and smiled:

“Arceus will continue to protect Michina, so there’s no need to worry.”

Hina looked at the inscriptions on the Plate, then at the hero who returned from the Hall of Origin.

A strong sense of unreality and awe rose in her heart.

Suddenly, Hina’s pupils contracted.

She sensed a very familiar power... extremely similar to her ancestor’s power—the Power of Transcendence!

“May I be so bold to ask,” Hina said to Lu Ye, “Did you calm Arceus and become His envoy?”

Lu Ye shook his head, “No, I’m not His envoy.”

Hina was slightly stunned. Then where did Teacher Lu’s Power of Transcendence come from...?

“To be exact, Arceus and I are friends.”

Lu Ye pondered a moment, “Friends who shone light on a turtle shell together.”

Hina: ???

What exactly happened between you and Arceus in the Hall of Origin!

Giratina, Palkia, and Dialga—the three Sinnoh gods—also sensed this special energy.

This insignificant human faced Arceus directly, passed His trial, and earned His recognition...

Indeed, giving Lu Ye a chance was the right choice!

The three Sinnoh gods all sighed in relief and prepared to bid farewell to Lu Ye.

“Keep in touch!!”

Lu Ye waved at Giratina as it flapped its wings and sent a pulse of Aura.

Giratina shuddered, its platinum helmet’s eyes flickered, nodding at Lu Ye:

“If you’re in trouble, you can use the Power of Transcendence to contact me... I’m in the Reversed World.”

Teacher Lu was slightly stunned.

So the Power of Transcendence wasn’t just a radar, but also a pager for calling help?

Being friends with Arceus, all legendary Pokémon had to show some respect.

However...

Hopefully, such calls for help would be rare...

Giratina flapped its wings;

the river instantly shimmered like a mirror as the master of antimatter disappeared into it.

Dialga and Palkia closed their eyes, feeling the restored calm of space and time, and each expressed gratitude to Lu Ye.

Having restored the chaotic spacetime, these two divine beasts could now rest at ease.

Transforming into blue and purple streams of light, Dialga and Palkia parted ways through space-time.

Left behind was an adorably awkward Regigigas, whose eyes flickered as it scratched its head with a large palm:

“Reggi???”

You all flew away, so what am I supposed to do?

Lowering its massive head, Regigigas locked eyes with Lu Ye, causing an awkward moment.

Teacher Lu: “...”

This moment was a classic scene replay!

“Ahem!” Lu Ye said, “The Snowpoint Temple isn’t far from here... or you can wait for me, and I’ll have Brandon send over the Seal Stone Ball!”

“Reggi—”

Regigigas nodded and sat down with a rumble.

The red light quietly receded, and the Colossal Pokémon fell back into the “Slow Start” dormant state.

With the spacetime barrier lifted, electronic signals were restored.

Giovanni stood at the cliff’s edge, looking at a slowly rising giant ship.

Strong winds blew fiercely;

under restored autopilot, the ship’s engines roared as it hovered before Giovanni.

During the earlier battle, Giovanni had confronted Arceus, bearing the responsibility of a father.

Now, he seemed to have returned to normal, his face serious.

Giovanni put his hands in his pockets;

behind him stood a silent red-haired youth.

“Are you coming back to Team Rocket with me?” Giovanni asked softly.

“No.” Xiao Yin glanced at A-Jin, whispering, “I have my own partners.”

“I won’t take over your Team Rocket, even if... it’s justice. I have my own principles.”

“Oh?”

Giovanni gazed at the sea of clouds, a certain person vaguely appearing in his thoughts as he sighed:

“You’ve grown up, Yin.”

Xiao Yin looked at Giovanni’s back;

that man’s stance, firmly planted on the ground, was deeply imprinted in his mind.

He might be a formidable hero, a cold leader, but at that moment,

Xiao Yin saw the long-lost image of a father.

The father and son fell into a long silence before Giovanni spoke first:

“Do you like... cats?”

Xiao Yin was stunned, “What?”

“Cat boss... never mind.”

Giovanni coughed heavily, pulled his hood down, and walked toward the engine-throbbing ship, “Forget I said anything.”

Xiao Yin’s expression was calm as he slowly took out his phone.

After reconnecting, he saw 99+ unread messages and a barrage of calls from Sister Cynthia.

Xiao Yin opened the follow list, confirming the man still had only a pitiful number of followers and views.

[Cat and Son Story].

He looked up at the man’s somewhat weathered back and suddenly shouted:

“Dad!”

“I will personally defeat you and make you leave Team Rocket!”

Giovanni’s footsteps suddenly halted, his chest rising and falling.

The armor he wore during the struggle with Arceus now felt like a vulnerable soft spot.

The man stopped and slowly turned to face Xiao Yin.

The bond between father and son was like mountains and earth—no words needed, it could be heard in the wind.

“I will always be waiting for you.”

Giovanni rarely showed a smile.

“Waiting for you to personally defeat me.”
