The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Sing aloud, Sarud!

We are the blood of the forest, roar forth!

Sing out, Zarude!

You are the blood of the forest, roar forth!

You are the blood of the forest, roar forth!

You are the blood of the forest, roar forth!

Be with the sacred tree!

And so, through the combined efforts of humans and Pokémon, the forest that had been ravaged by Jedo's robots was restored.

In just one day, the ground was covered with new saplings, filling people with anticipation.

That afternoon, Xiaozhi came to say goodbye to Coco.

"Xiao Zhi, are you leaving?" Coco asked.

"Yes, thanks to everyone's help, all the damaged trees have been replanted, and there are even more trees than before."

Hearing this, Coco stepped forward, placed her palm against Ash's palm, and said,

"Shinichi and Coco are friends!"

"Yes, we'll always be friends. See you later!"

"Bye-bye, Coco, and could you please say goodbye to your father and Zarude for me?"

After seeing Ash off, Coco returned to the Divine Tree.

Upon seeing Coco return, Abba Sarud immediately waved to him and said,

“Coco, I’m talking to the elders right now. The elders asked me if I wanted to come back to the clan, of course, with you.”

“Now we have no reason to refuse your return. Would you like to come back and live here?” Elder Sarud asked.

These words made Coco very happy, glad that she had finally gained the approval of the Sarud tribe.

However, Coco still spoke with a serious expression.

“Great, I’d love to, but there’s one more thing I need to discuss with everyone.”

"What do you want to discuss with us?"

"I've been thinking about leaving this forest and going on a journey for a long time, starting today."

I want to travel and become a bridge between Pokémon and humans.

Upon hearing this, Abba Sarud immediately reprimanded him.

"Huh? Don't be ridiculous, are you going to abandon this jungle?"

“No, I’ve thought about it. I like both Pokémon and humans, so I want to make a contribution to both,” Coco argued.

"What are you talking about? Do you think this is even possible?!"

"You are a Pokémon, Zarude's son!" Zarude roared.

It was a little reluctant to let Coco leave its side.

"No, I am both a human and a Pokémon."

Moreover, I am still my father's son.

"I was raised by my father, and there are some things only I can do. I want to be like my father," Coco said with a determined look in her eyes.

“Don’t try to act all grown up, or you’ll come back crying,” said Father Sarud.

"I can do it well."

Seeing that Coco had truly made up her mind, Abba Sarud sighed, turned around, waved his hand, and pretended to be indifferent, saying,

"whatever."

"I'm sorry, Dad,"

Everyone, please take good care of my father for me.

Coco apologized to her father, Zarude, gave some instructions to the other Zarudes, and then ran off.

“Are you satisfied now?” said the strongest of the Zarude.

"Yes, I'm very satisfied."

This child is serious and understands this. There's only one thing the parents can do.

Okay, my son is about to leave.

"Everyone, just do as I told you before." Abba Sarud smiled with relief and said.

"Okay."

The other Zarud immediately responded and set about on their own.

"Have you really seen that? What does it look like?" asked the strongest Zarude.

“Yes, there is, just like Coco said.” Abba Sarud raised his head and looked up at the sky.

In fact, Father Sarud had long anticipated that Coco would one day leave this place.

So it had already discussed with its companions how to say goodbye to Coco.

Thinking of this, the first thing that came to mind was the fireworks that humans set off at night when it took Coco into the city a few years ago to look for Coco's parents.

Meanwhile, Coco, filled with guilt towards her father Sarud, ran straight back to their home in the forest, picked up her little bag, and prepared to leave.

He ran straight out of the forest, but tripped and fell, spilling the contents of his bag all over the ground.

Besides a few orange and peach fruits, there were also two banana fruits in the photo of baby Coco with his parents.

Upon seeing the two Baya fruits, Coco was immediately moved to tears, murmuring to herself,

"These are not the ones I put in my bag."

These two baja fruits were picked by Abba Sarud from the grove of baja fruits that he and his son had planted yesterday, and then secretly put into Coco's little bag.

The berries in that forest were ripe, and Father Zarude invited the Pokémon in the forest to come and share the fruit.

Coco then understood that although her father, Sarud, had been strongly against her going on a trip,

But in reality, he has been quietly supporting his own ideas all along.

It only opposes going out because it's afraid of encountering danger or things it can't handle.

Thinking of this, Coco couldn't help but look towards the direction of the sacred tree again.

Just then, Coco showed an expression of utter surprise.

A clear column of water shot into the sky, exploding into tiny droplets in mid-air.

One after another, streams of shimmering blue water gushed forth from the branches of the divine tree.

These springs do not cascade down like ordinary streams; instead, they seem to be drawn upwards by an invisible force, rising higher and higher in the twilight until they reach the clouds at the very top of the sacred tree.

“That is…” Coco’s eyes widened.

Then, with a soft "bang," the first stream of spring water exploded high in the air.

Instead of the blinding sparks of fireworks, they were countless shimmering blue specks of light, like crushed stars or condensed moonlight, slowly drifting downwards.

Where the light swept across, even the air was filled with the unique herbal fragrance of the healing spring. The fragrance, carrying warmth, brushed against Coco's cheeks, like the gentle caress of his father, Sarud.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third springs burst open one after another.

Some transformed into petals fluttering in the sky, their blue color so clear that they turned into shallow ripples when they landed on the ground.

Some of them split into thin bands of light, crisscrossing and weaving into a huge net, enveloping the entire forest in a soft halo of light;

After exploding in the air, it turned into starlight, falling into the trees and soil of the forest.

Beneath the sacred tree, the other Pokémon gathered together to participate in this grand farewell.
