The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Just as the ship was about to set sail, Lillie seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly ran to the stern deck, and shouted to Ash on the shore.

"Ash! It's so wonderful that I was able to meet you, Ash!"

"It was only after meeting you, Ash, that I truly learned how to be friends with Pokémon. Thank you!"

"Lilia!"

Ash suddenly looked up, surprised by Lillie's words. He smiled and was about to speak when Lillie continued.

Ash, congratulations once again on becoming the champion!

You're amazing! So many people gathered at the previous celebration to commemorate your victory.

Whether adults, children, or Pokémon, everyone seemed very happy, their faces beaming with joy.

Although a lot has happened, I'm still so glad you came to the Alola region. It's wonderful to have met you, gotten to know you, and become friends with you.

Xiao Zhi, no matter when or what happens, you must always be yourself.

Because Xiaozhi, your smile will light up everyone's hearts.

If my father knew you, he would surely smile too.

During the time I've spent with you, I've come to understand what I should do and what I can do, Xiaozhi, I…”

Just as Lillie hesitated, Ash chimed in, "..."

"Lillie! Although we are about to be separated, our hearts will always be together!"

With today's advanced technology and transportation, whenever you need me, just give me a call and I'll be there for you as fast as I can.

Take good care of yourself while I'm not around. I don't want to part with you sadly; it's not like we'll never see each other again.

Don't cry, crying won't make you look pretty. Let's greet this parting with smiles; today's farewell is for a better reunion in the future!

"Ok!"

Both of them smiled and waved goodbye to each other.

Ash watched as Lillie and Gladion's ship disappeared into a tiny black dot on the horizon before finally lowering his waving hand.

The others stood by and watched quietly.

At this moment, Mamane, who had been sitting, suddenly burst into tears. Perhaps he had been holding back his tears in front of Lillie.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

“Mama, tears are streaming down your face. We should be smiling when saying goodbye to our loved ones,” Dr. Kukui said, patting him on the shoulder.

“Yes, I… I want to see my parents,” Mamane sobbed.

“Yes, let’s go back. Everyone, our families are waiting for us,” Dr. Kukui said.

Then everyone dispersed and went home.

The day after saying goodbye to Lillie, just as dawn was breaking, Professor Kukui and Professor Barnet drove Ash to the airport in Hauer City in their convertible.

Ash plans to take the earliest flight back to the Kanto region today. He chose this time because he doesn't want to say goodbye to everyone, as it would be too sad.

Only Dr. Kukui and Dr. Barnett came to see them off.

At the boarding gate, just before boarding, Dr. Kukui gave some instructions.

"Ash, you're taking a plane to the Kanto region, don't get it wrong."

"I understand, you can rest assured."

"Dr. Kukui, Dr. Barnett, I'm off then."

"Have a safe journey..." Dr. Barnett choked up.

"Keep it up!"

You must remember this: Barnett and I will help you for the rest of our lives.

"No matter where you are or what you're doing, okay?" Professor Kukui said, patting Ash on the shoulder.

"Ash, you must remember what Kukui said," Professor Barnet sobbed.

"Okay, I've got it. Thank you."

Finally, Professor Kukui and Professor Barnett hugged Ash and said goodbye.

"Alright, you can go now," Dr. Kukui waved his hand.

"it is good."

After saying goodbye to Professor Kukui and Professor Barnet, who were practically his godparents, Ash, along with Pikachu and Eevee perched on his shoulders, stepped onto the plane and found their seats.

Looking out the window at the beautiful scenery of the Alola Islands, Ash smiled and murmured to himself.

"Thank you, Alora!"

With the roar of the engine, the plane took off from the runway and soared into the sky.

Ash stared intently out the window at the scenery of the Alola region, which was getting further and further away from him, trying his best to memorize every single tree and blade of grass in Alola.

Just then, several familiar voices suddenly entered Ash's ears.

"A surprise in Alola! Have a safe trip!"

Hearing this, Ash looked out the window with great joy and saw that it was his friends who had come to see him off.

Kaki and his Marowak riding his fire-breathing dragon,

Water Lily and Nagisa, Mao and Sweet Cold Beauty, Mamane and Togodemar,

They all rode their rented Pokémon mounts, flew to the same height as the airplane, and waved and shouted goodbye to Ash.

Deeply moved, Ash immediately waved and shouted to everyone.

Thank you everyone! I'm leaving now!

Pikachu and Eevee waved goodbye to everyone.

In the airport parking lot, Dr. Kukui and Dr. Barnett, sitting in their convertible, were also bathed in the first rays of the morning sun in the Alola region.

Looking up, I watched as the plane Ash was on gradually became a small black dot and disappeared into the horizon.

After Lillie and Ash left the Alola region, the other friends didn't stay idle either.

The next day, Marin came to pick up Mamane and take her to Green Ridge City. Mamane left the Alora region first.

Kachi, Shui Lian, and Mao all went to the airport to see Mamane off.

Next up was Kaki, who rode his fire-breathing dragon to deliver Moo Moo milk to the Aina Restaurant for the last time.

Starting tomorrow, Kachi will be staying on Akala Island to train with Miss Liz to become the island's king.

So for a while afterward, I didn't have time to help out at my own ranch, and therefore I couldn't deliver Moo Moo milk to Mao's restaurant anymore.

When Kachi left, Shui Lian and Mao both encouraged him to keep going.

Another day later, Mao came to Shui Lian's house and, together with Shui Lian's mother and Shui Lian's two younger sisters, Shi Ting and Shi Han, saw Shui Lian and her father off as they went out to sea.

Before leaving, Shui Lian assured Mao that she would definitely bring back Manaphy's fish print.

Mao asked Shui Lian what fish rubbing was.

Shui Lian just smiled and remained silent, indicating that Mao would know when she returned.
