Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"I understand!" Xiao Lan wiped her face and immediately took action. She raised her hand and threw out a High Ball, forcibly capturing Dialga.

Celebi then flew into the air and collected the two Time Gears that were flying around randomly into the ripples.

However, everyone present was so concerned about Ash that they overlooked one detail.

When the Great Jewel shattered, it broke into five Time Gears. Dialga retrieved one, Ash got one, so there should be three left...

"Let's work together with Celebi to figure something out. My chances of coming back depend entirely on you guys," Ash said jokingly, glancing around at everyone present. "Everyone... we may have to say goodbye for now."

The pull from above is intensifying; leaving is now inevitable…

"You idiot, is there really no other way?" Xiao Mao asked unwillingly.

"There's definitely nothing we can do right now, but that's all we can do for now." Ash shook his head indifferently. "But you... you'd better pay attention to what I mentioned before."

"I will do it!" Xiao Mao agreed resolutely. "By the time you come back, I will definitely have won the championship!"

As their parting drew near, Xiao Mao solemnly made a promise.

The entire world, including the world that was almost trapped in time stop, was restored to peace because of Ash.

Ash is now forced to leave against his will. The world he risked everything to protect will naturally be protected by his companions from now on!

"Then I'm relieved." Ash nodded with relief, his gaze sweeping over each of his sorrowful and reluctant female companions. "I'm so sorry everyone... This time, I might have to break many promises..."

He had promised Lila that he would fight her with all his might in the pioneering battle; he had also promised Haruka and Rukia that he would not miss their decisive battle at the Kanto Grand Festival.

And then there's Homika; Ash also mentioned wanting to go to Unova again to keep his promise to attend her concert…

"Brother, you have to come back no matter what!" Lila pleaded. "Back in the Orange Islands, you promised me something... Now all I want is for you to come back safely!"

"We're definitely going to make it to the Grand Festival finals... Ash, how about you come and be a spectator then?"

"Yeah... Please come back safe and sound, and then come watch our game, okay?!"

Haruka and Rukia, the two sisters, were sobbing uncontrollably and could only lean on Serena for comfort.

"Ugh! This is so troublesome! Why did I have to run into this?!" Homika complained, pulling at her hair. "I don't care about the weather, you have to keep your promise! Otherwise, I'll... I'll..."

At this point, she couldn't hold on any longer...

Mei, who was also very emotional, was standing next to her, her eyes blurred with tears.

Originally, he only came all the way to Kanto to help Zoroa, but he ended up getting caught up in this mess and had to witness this separation unexpectedly...

Not only Miss Homiga, but Zoroia must be very sad too... Wait!

"Zorua...where did you go?!" Mei's heart skipped a beat as she frantically searched around for the little fox.

As a girl who is protected throughout, she takes care of the little fox when Ash is in battle and Zoroark is not assigned any special missions.

After Zoroa used illusions to support Lila, he returned to her side... but Mei discovered that it was gone!

"Woo..."

"Zorua?!" Ash heard a muffled groan beneath his feet. He looked down and saw the battered little fox also caught in the storm!

Shocked, Ash could only manage to descend with Pikachu, holding Zoroa tightly in his arms.

"Waaah... Ash, that's great..." Feeling the warm embrace, the little fox finally managed a weak smile. "I... I finally found you, I won't leave you..."

"Yes, I know, and we'll always be together from now on!" There was no blame at this moment, only a promise that would definitely be kept!

Because of its sudden arrival, Zoroa has not yet been captured by Ash.

It doesn't have a Poké Ball, nor does it have the same absolute obedience as its companions in crucial moments.

That's why it ran away from Mei after the time stop ended.

It drove forward using illusions, and luckily succeeded.

Affected by the spacetime storm, Ash's senses were not as sharp as usual; the unlucky Giratina took a bullet for him, finally allowing him to force his way into the eye of the storm as it began to subside!

The price, however, was being torn apart by the chaotic forces, leaving one battered and bruised, until finally on the verge of death…

But for it, it was all worth it!

It finally reached Ash's side. This time, even if time and space are distorted, they will never be separated again!

boom! !

The spacetime storm finally subsided to its limit, the swirling gusts relentlessly tearing and slicing at Ash's body, binding him, Pikachu, and Zoroark, involuntarily rushing towards the distorted vortex above.

"Everyone, it really is time to say goodbye... but please believe me, no matter how difficult it gets, I will definitely come back to you all!!"

With his last lingering reluctance and hopes, Ash's figure vanished along with the time-space storm, leaving behind only the endless sorrow of the people within the ruins of the capital.

A glimmer of light flashed in the distant chaos, as if the exit of the ruins was opening, but no one paid any attention...

"I'm sorry... I really didn't know it would turn out like this, Ash, Zoroa, I'm so sorry..." Mei kept apologizing in the direction where the distortion disappeared. She saw Zoroa's injuries and felt that it was all her responsibility.

It was all because she failed to keep an eye on Zoroya…

"Alright, this isn't your fault," Serena comforted softly. "Zorua had a lot of ideas, and now it has gotten its wish and is by Ash's side... What we need to do now is hope that they can come back safely."

“Salina… um~” Mei stared blankly at the gentle girl in front of her, her guilt seemingly being healed a little.

But she still felt incredibly guilty and secretly resolved that when she saw Satoshi again, she would sincerely apologize to him…

Chapter 1084 A Turning Point!

"Let's leave here too... The war is over, and there are still many things waiting for us to do."

After managing to compose herself, Rika spoke up to remind everyone.

Xiao Lan's current state is clearly unsuitable for making decisions, so the young lady took the lead without hesitation: "Xiao Zhi will definitely come back! If he sees that the world he worked so hard to protect has become a mess, then it will all be our responsibility!"

These words had a good uplifting effect; at least they rekindled everyone's hope.

After all, Ash said he would definitely come back!

He always keeps his promises!

"What should we do with that guy?" Before leaving, Nanami looked coldly at a petrified corpse.

That was the root of all evil, and many people here wish they could grind him to dust!

"Take the petrified Lucario away; the Fighting power within it is the strength Ash needs," Sabrina said coldly. "The rest of the trash... I'll just bury it!"

boom!

An incredibly powerful superpower erupted, tearing a massive rift in the earth. After swallowing Wangluo and Garchomp, the rift closed silently.

After Naza finished doing all that, the exhausted group helped each other out of the faintly lit exit and finally saw the long-lost sky again.

They had left the ruins of Ascana, and were no longer in the waters of the Seven Islands, but were now in a mountainous region.

Judging from the location shown on the map, this place doesn't seem to be far from Tianqingshan.

This is actually the location of the ruins of the capital in the real world. Going north from here leads to Sinnoh, while going south leads back to Okinota.

With everything finally settled, the legendary Pokémon that had been forcibly captured were to be returned to their respective regions.

The same goes for the three lake gods; Rika and Serena discussed it and decided to release them.

The farewell ceremony will still be conducted using a ring. Ash is gone, but Hoopa, who is now fully conscious, can complete the task.

The little guy is heartbroken and misses his brother and sister who are far away in the Valley of Creation.

It silently activated the ring, preparing to teleport the legendary Pokémon away... but before leaving, White Dragon suddenly turned to Ho-Oh.

"Could you pass on this message for me... If Ash comes back, I hope to have the honor of recognizing him as a true hero."

Until the very last moment, Reshiram was certain that Ash was the person it had been searching for!

"You can tell him yourself when the time comes." Ho-Oh smiled and shook his head. "Ash said he would be going on a trip to Unova, so you'll definitely have a chance to meet again."

"That's what I hope for too." Bai Long also showed an expectant smile.

With several legendary figures departing, the remaining humans and Pokémon, while grieving Ash's passing, began to ponder their next steps...

Just then, Yulongdu's phone rang at an inopportune moment.

"What?! Sakaki escaped?!"

The bad news came from the investigators stationed on the Seven Islands: while transferring the prisoners to the cargo ship, Giovanni's confiscated Poké Ball suddenly bounced off its own. Two Deoxys and a heavily injured Beedrill thwarted Genji and Kagetsu's combined efforts and rescued Giovanni in full view of everyone!

This news undoubtedly cast another shadow over the already devastated crowd.

"It was my negligence." Sabrina was filled with remorse. "I should have sealed those two Deoxys completely back in the Cave of No Return!"

“This isn’t your fault, and things have already come to this, so let him go,” Lijia gently advised.

No one would blame Natsumi for this. After being betrayed, Giovanni still dared to place his hopes on Deoxys. This courage is truly extraordinary. Genji and the others had no choice but to leave him behind.

Besides, only he escaped; Crimson Pine, Water Archie, and Hunter J have all been captured, so the League still has a great victory.

It's a pity that the important people are gone, and now no one is in the mood to celebrate.

Upon returning to the Quartz Plateau, Lance simply had Rika draft a battle report as a statement of the matter.

'The Kanto-Johto League dispatched elite trainers to the Seven Islands to thwart the joint criminal operation of Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, and Team Dark. Except for the ringleader Giovanni, who remains at large, all other involved personnel have been apprehended.'

Although it was just a simple statement, it still caused a huge uproar around the world!

Countless people were amazed by Daikito's power; even with so many villains joining forces, they still could not contend with him.
