The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Now we need to have a menu for Pokémon to eat, so we're holding a tasting event first to see how it goes, so that the Pokémon who come to the store to eat don't dislike it.

“I want to try every possible way to wake Magiana up as soon as possible, so I’m prepared to dedicate my entire vacation to this goal,” Lillie said.

This goal is probably the most difficult among them all, and Lillie's ambition is commendable.

"By the way, Lillie, so much time has passed, how is Magearna doing now?" Ash asked.

"I have tried many methods, but none of them have worked."

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be able to wake Magearna," Ash said.

“Ash is absolutely right,” Kaki said.

“Because no matter what, Lillie always observes Pokémon carefully and tries hard to understand them,” Mallow said.

“Lillie’s feelings will one day be conveyed to Magiana,” Mamane said.

"Keep moving forward bravely," Shui Lian said.

Thank you everyone for your encouragement.

"By the way, Ash, what are your plans for this holiday?" Mamane asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhi smiled, stood up, and said,

"I originally planned to wait until the day I was leaving to tell you, but since you've been asked and everyone's here now, I'll tell you now."

After arriving in the Alola region with Pikachu, I'm so glad to have met you all and so many other Pokémon. I'm also so happy to be able to teach you at the Pokémon School. It's truly been the best journey ever!

So I've decided that I want to go back to Pallet Town first, rest for a bit, and then head to the Galar region to begin a new journey.

In unknown territories, I will encounter entirely new people and Pokémon.

My Pokémon battle skills will definitely get better and better.

If I keep accumulating experience like this, one day I will definitely become a Pokémon Master.

After hearing this, everyone felt a little dejected. After a moment of silence, Kachi spoke up and asked,

"I think what you're referring to isn't just this long holiday period."

"Yes."

"Honestly, why didn't you say so sooner?" Kachi said.

“Yeah, that startled me,” Mao said.

"Ash, I believe you can definitely become a Pokémon Master," Lana said.

“I’m cheering for you, we all support you,” Mao said.

"thank you all."

After everyone said goodbye and returned home, Lillie went to her father Moen's room once again.

Since discovering Magearna, Lillie has been studying Magearna and trying to wake her up as soon as possible. Almost every night, she falls asleep in this room with Moen's notebook as her pillow.

Lillie had already searched through the entire notebook, but she still couldn't wake Magearna.

The sentence that impressed her the most was: "The soul is the key."

Moen wrote this sentence many times in his notebook.

This statement makes a lot of sense, after all, Magiana's soul is its very essence.

When another Magiana was stolen by Jarvis, the villain from the Kingdom of Azot in the Carlos region, Jarvis also took its soul core and discarded its body; having the soul core was enough.

Magiana's strength in battle lies in the combination of her SS-rank Soul Heart trait and her noble Steel + Fairy attribute.

Just then, Lillie accidentally flipped to the last page of the notebook. This page contained a drawing by Moen, depicting Moen's Zoroark and Magearna.

This made Lillie exclaim in surprise, as if she had just realized something. Back when Moen was researching Magearna, Zoroark must have been watching and accompanying Moen the whole time.

With that in mind, Lillie immediately contacted Gladion and asked him to come home.

When Gladion arrived, Lillie told him her thoughts, and Gladion thought they made a lot of sense, so he called Zoroark out.

Zoroark emerged from the Dark Sphere and saw the familiar room, and memories immediately flooded back into his mind.

It was in this room that it stayed with its owner, Moen, while he studied Magiana.

Lillie told Zoroark her thoughts, and Zoroark nodded, activating its illusion ability to show Lillie and Gladion scenes from the past.

In the same room, Lillie was still an infant when her father, Moen, was studying Magiana.

Children are very curious. When Lillie woke up, she saw Moen studying Magiana, so she crawled toward Magiana and gently poked her with her hand.

Seeing this, Moen smiled and patted little Lillie's head. After all, he bought Magiana, brought her home from afar, and even spent time researching how to awaken her, all so that Magiana could accompany and protect his little princess, his baby daughter Lillie.

At this moment, little Lillie wanted to touch Magearna's soul heart, but it was too high, and little Lillie, who could only climb at the moment, couldn't reach it at all.

So she stretched her hands upwards with all her might, and pushed off the ground with both feet. As this ordinary action occurred, little Lillie, by pushing and pushing, actually stood up by supporting Magiana's body and successfully touched Magiana's soul heart.

Satisfied, she staggered towards her father, Moen, which shocked the already utterly astonished Moen even more.

At this moment, Lusamine and Gladion, who had just returned home, also saw this scene. The mother and son rushed to Moen and Lillie's side with great excitement.

After all, how could parents not be excited when a baby who could only crawl suddenly learns to stand and walk?

At this point, Zoroark's hallucinatory memories come to an end.

Seeing herself being lovingly held in her father's arms, Lillie couldn't help but shed tears, and spoke with genuine emotion,

"Father, I miss you so much."

As that single tear fell to the ground, suddenly, Magearna, who was standing next to Lillie, emitted a blinding pink light.

When the bright light faded and Lillie and Gladio opened their eyes, they found that Magiana had actually woken up, and both her soul and eyes were now lit up.

It was standing there, turning its head to curiously observe its surroundings.

Upon seeing Lillie, Magiana conjured a bouquet of flowers from the steel pipe in her left hand and gave it to Lillie.

This makes one ponder: the Maya has been asleep for so many years, why doesn't the flower wither?
