The Fairy Plate wasn't convenient to hide in the Reversed World.

So Teacher Lu chose the most simple and unadorned method—directly stuffing it into his backpack.

Some trainers' backpacks are like small warehouses, filled with berries, Full Recovery Potions, and even the llama's plates...

The forest light slanted obliquely.

Lu Ye stroked his chin, sinking into deep thought.

The Fairy Plate definitely had to be returned to Arceus, otherwise it would cause disasters like what happened in Michina.

But he couldn't disturb Arceus's sleep prematurely either, he could only wait for It to come find me proactively...

Lu Ye's expression turned complicated.

It probably, wouldn't specifically choose when Hoopa is around to come reclaim the plate, right?

Darkrai glanced at Lu Ye's fluctuating expression and felt his heart sink.

Trouble!

Every time he shows this kind of expression, something always goes wrong!

Darkrai realized that every single one of Lu Ye's premonitions had successfully come true.

This probably wasn't divine retribution, but more like danger precognition!

Darkrai prepared for potential trouble ahead, his face showing concern as he muttered to himself:

"I need to start battle preparations early..."

"My duty is fulfilled, from now on, I will begin my long slumber."

Xerneas's voice carried slight fatigue as it looked at Sylveon's guilty gaze and raised a smile.

"Life and death are part of a long cycle, so there's no need to feel sad, Sylveon."

The green crystalline glow gradually faded.

The antlers on Xerneas's head gradually dimmed, turning into blue branches, shifting from 'active mode' to 'relaxation mode'.

This also meant Xerneas had very little energy left and needed to rely on long slumber to recover.

"Can't you use the Fairy Plate's power, Xerneas?" Lu Ye frowned.

Xerneas shook its head with a smile.

Sleeping, awakening, the cycle of life and death repeating—this was its mission and duty alongside Yveltal.

Yveltal would also soon fall into slumber after migrating.

Lu Ye sighed softly.

"Please say goodbye to Diancie and the Eternal Flower for me."

Xerneas gently closed its eyes.

Beautiful flowers bloomed one after another on its antlers, its blue body transforming into a tree trunk, its limbs turning into roots in the light.

Its voice gradually faded away, flowers blooming around the great tree, its telepathy carrying laughter.

"In the endless span of life, being able to meet you all has made me very happy."

"Bu-bii..." Sylveon's eyes showed a trace of dejection.

"For Xerneas, sleeping for a few thousand years is completely normal."

Lu Ye half-crouched, stroking Sylveon's small head as he smiled slightly: "It might temporarily wake up midway, so we might meet again."

"Bu-bii?" Sylveon lifted her gaze.

"Of course it's true." Lu Ye said with an involuntary laugh.

Teacher Lu actively took Sylveon's ribbon, connecting their emotions, sharing Sylveon's current dejection.

Sylveon gazed at the Tree of Life that Xerneas had transformed into, quietly extending her pink ribbon to wrap around Lu Ye's arm.

The Fairy Plate lay quietly in the backpack, its light flowing and shifting like a supreme treasure.

Rainbow Wing: (#ﾟДﾟ)

Oh no... another competitor has arrived!

...

Leaving the altar.

Lu Ye met up with Steven and the others.

"What just happened?" Diancie sensed the unusual fairy atmosphere.

Lu Ye briefly explained the news about Xerneas falling into slumber.

Bonnie hugged Dedenne, covering her face as she whispered: "What a pity..."

Clemont smiled and said: "This is also part of the cycle!"

Princess Diancie's pure gaze flickered as she gently exhaled, turning around with a smile:

"I invite everyone to visit the Mineral Kingdom!"

"Great!" Ash cheered.

Steven's body jolted.

Visiting the Mineral Kingdom?

The dark ball at Lu Ye's waist suddenly shook violently.

"Bangii... (✪ω✪)"

Visiting the Mineral Kingdom!

Lu Ye: "..."

Having Steven and Pupitar visit as guests, I'm afraid there's risk of the kingdom falling...

Sylveon's "Geomancy" and Pupitar's "Precipice Blades"—Teacher Lu planned to properly train them when they reached Donghua's Champion Road.

After all, Teacher Lu had considerable confidence in Donghua's infrastructure black technology!

"Diancie, open up a mineral vein to Miare City, Dedenne and I can come play with you~" Bonnie said with a smile.

"No problem." Diancie smiled lightly.

For Diancie who mastered diamond creation, opening mineral veins had limitations, but was still very easy.

"Preferably a mineable diamond ore deposit." Lu Ye said casually.

Diamonds or not didn't matter, mainly he wanted to frequently play with Diancie!

"I'll frequently visit Miare City, Mr. Lu Ye~" Diancie said with a smile.

Just as Lu Ye was about to respond.

"Very welcome." Steven cut in.

Control yourself, Steven!

Lu Ye looked at AZ and his Eternal Flower.

King AZ's face was completely calm as he said: "I plan... to become a trainer with Flabébé, and give it a try."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can always come to the café in Miare City."

Lu Ye smiled: "Just find Haunter, it will teach you."

"Gengarrr!" Haunter chuckled.

AZ's eyes flickered, a smile tugging at his lips: "Thank you, Teacher Lu."

"Not going to battle me anymore?" Lu Ye teased.

"No, surrendering directly would be faster." AZ said frankly.

AZ planned to continue traveling through the Kalos region with his Eternal Flower.

Just like N with his Zekrom.

Inevitably, more vibrant scenery, more bonds between Pokémon and trainers would appear before their eyes.

Teacher Lu felt very gratified.

He originally had empathy for these two from the original work, and seeing them make up for regrets gave him a sense of shared excitement.

Lu Ye looked back at Orus Forest, then turned with a smile:

"Let's go, back to Miare City—I'm treating everyone to a big meal!"

...

The epilogue of the event.

Perfect for playing a movie ending BGM.

Xerneas's fairy atmosphere made Orus Forest regain vitality, Pokémon rising one after another, rubbing their sleepy eyes.

Princess Diancie passed through the rainbow-hanging waterfall, returning to the Mineral Kingdom, creating a huge Sacred Diamond.

The Ralts celebrated around the smiling Princess Diancie, Minister Diamond weeping with emotion, wiping his eyes.

The Team Rocket Trio returned to report to Giovanni, seeing Giovanni slap the sofa, their shoulders jolting violently as they tearfully apologized.

Walking out the door, the trio looked at their bill notification, their eyes widening at the suddenly deposited astronomical sum.

The transfer person's profile picture—a Haunter pulling its eyelids and sticking out its tongue.

AZ carrying the Eternal Flower on his shoulder, his silhouette walking toward the setting sun, turning back to wave at Lu Ye and the others.

Lu Ye smiled slightly, gently nodding.

At the victory banquet in Miare City, Princess Diancie wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes curved like crescent moons as she watched everyone fighting for food.

Ash and Clemont devouring food ravenously;

Steven holding knife and fork, extremely elegant;

And Sirfetch'd sitting side by side with Steven, equally elegant: "Quack..."

Bonnie balancing a dinner plate on her head while holding another plate with both hands, serving freshly baked bofuretsu.

Serena appropriately changed into a maid outfit, face slightly flushed, spinning around in front of everyone.

Ash froze slightly, unusually scratching his cheek.

Lu Ye holding his head with both hands, Haunter holding a microphone high on his left, Sylveon glaring fiercely on his right.

Ding dong—

"I'll get the door!" Lu Ye hurriedly stood up.

Outside was a hazy night scene.

Cynthia stood in black clothes, arms crossed, hand against her chin, saying in surprise:

"I seem to have come at the wrong time?"

"You came at just the right time!" Lu Ye took Bamboo Lan's hand.
