Ditto doesn't move

At this moment, what would the villainous boss, who has conquered dozens of worlds, be feeling?

"Mmm~ I love it so much."

The middle-aged man seemed to have even pulled out that thing, and said happily.

Such a fascinating world—how could it not make one excited enough to raise a flag?

Three Pokémon have the potential to reach the ultimate power: the fully grown Rainbow Warrior, Yukinari Oak who has rediscovered his original aspirations, and the Pokémon whose stats are now complete and full of possibilities.

And, an initial adversary who should have been encountered in life but never appeared.

They also arrived to face off against a legendary opponent.

Are there more?

Will more exceptionally talented individuals emerge?

For a moment, even Sakaki of the Rainbow couldn't help but daydream.

Compared to the corrupt and conservative worlds I've seen along the way, only in this world can I see what the future looks like.

"I'm almost reluctant to leave."

Despite thinking this way, the peerless expert had already made up his mind that if he disobeyed at this moment, he would not even meet the minimum standard of a strong person.

"Do you want victory? Do you want dignity? Do you want a future?"

"no problem."

"Come and defeat me!"

"Deoxys, unleash your full power of mental focus!"

At this moment, the legendary fighter, finally unleashing his full power, laughed wildly and used all his ultimate strength.

Distorting reality! Destroying miracles!

The boundless power could not even compare to the phenomena of the Ultimate Cave. The sky shattered and the earth was torn apart. The spiritual power, which was in no way inferior to that rainbow of thunder, attacked in the most primitive and simple way, and confronted it head-on!

Gazing at the fierce clash between the two beams of light, the trainers and Pokémon who had been standing there in a daze couldn't help but start to look forward again.

What kind of expert has arrived?

Can he win?

Will he win?

Which will prevail: a deliberately created miracle or a naturally occurring miracle?

No one noticed that the Gundam, frozen in the sky, trembled inexplicably.

The extraordinary boy, who was burning with all his energy and ambition to support Pikachu, didn't even notice.

He didn't care about whether he could win or not. In that instant, it was as if time had stopped, and only his consciousness remained. He felt someone gently pat his shoulder.

Turning around, the boy, also wearing a baseball cap, revealed a relaxed smile he had never shown before.

"This is the first time I've ever lied."

Stirring, what are you stirring?

A profound sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in the boy's heart.

"But I don't really want to apologize, Satoshi."

"Because I was so lonely, and because it seemed like I had never had a normal life except for fighting, I occasionally wanted to be willful, so I asked Silavi and the others for help."

"As you can see, the consequence of being irresponsible is that I made that Sakaki wait for me for too long, and it also caused a lot of trouble for everyone."

"Crimson, what...what are you thinking about?"

"Although it's not my responsibility, it's also very troubling to have all the hopes placed on me."

"However, I won't just leave it alone."

"After all, that guy Qinglv only challenges me to a fight whenever he sees me."

"Actually, if he asks me to help him pursue girls or something, even if I'm not good at that kind of thing, I will definitely try my best to prepare."

"I also want to be asked to do things other than fighting! Fighting isn't my whole life."

"Why...why would you say such a thing?"

So you're not invincible after all; you also have times when you're troubled?

Doesn't that make it seem like I'm the only one worrying unnecessarily?

"Ash!"

The boy wearing the red baseball cap suddenly raised his voice:

"It is only natural to worry about receiving too much and not being able to repay the kindness; to worry about receiving too much and not being able to owe more."

"However, this contract has come to an end. I have already obtained what I wanted."

"So, our debts are now wiped clean."

The boy named RED gratefully took a step back and bowed deeply.

"Also, thank you for letting me have a very relaxing and happy dream."

"crimson……"

The bewildered, astonished boy looked at himself in confusion, already realizing...

The heavy weight pressing down on my back seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

The change occurred at this moment.

The nine-colored lightning, which had transformed into a rainbow, suddenly paused during its clash with the powerful mental force. Then, the lightning representing the crimson color grew and surged in an almost miraculous way!

With his own strength, he surpassed the aura and domineering intent of the entire colorful lightning, forcefully pushing back the astonishing spiritual power step by step.

And Crimson, his image is fading from my heart.

Even though they hadn't moved, the distance between them was visibly increasing.

Ash even saw another Pikachu appear beside the opponent's feet.

　The group gathered, two umbrellas, Lingyan, Jiuqishan passed away, "Xiao Zhi!!!"

"You're all alone—"

Is there no problem now?

"crimson!!!"

Amidst the incredulous cries, the crimson lightning surged tenfold, even ninefold, as if the entire world had been shrouded in crimson.

But the crimson was not as frightening as blood; rather, it was a faint, flickering starlight that could be seen in the distance as one slowly made their way through the darkness.

It makes people feel warm and at ease.

The crimson that had swept everything finally dissipated, and the Ultra Hole and Team Rainbow Rocket vanished without a trace.

Under the blue sky, the sun shines brightly as always.

(BGM: With Your Future)

Volume Two: The Grand Alliance Chapter 198 Today, too, is a day of peace.

"Nice to meet you, and please take care of me."

In the Ultimate Cave, as dazzling as a starry sky, a boy wearing a baseball cap gazed confidently at the middle-aged man opposite him.

"pray!"

The legendary Pokémon that appeared beside him collapsed to the ground as if they were exhausted, but at the same time, they still did their best to do one last thing.

A yawning Pikachu jumped into the trainer's arms, along with five Poké Balls that appeared at his waist.

His fingers traced the Poké Balls one by one, and his determined gaze trembled slightly.

"Xiao Zhi..."

"I'm so sorry, I'm the one who should owe you this favor."

"In the endless battles, even if it's just a fleeting moment, it's more relaxing and enjoyable than any other time."

"Don't worry about winning or losing, just go on adventures and experience the unknown, and get to know those wonderful things you've never seen before."

"Thank you, Xiaozhi, thank you for letting me have a relaxing and happy dream."

Pikachu, having finished yawning, turned its attention back to the opponent it was supposed to stop and said in a thuggish tone:

"Ha~ Pikachu! (Hey, how was your trip?)"

"You want to know? Well..."

"...You've rested enough, let's battle, Pikachu."

----------------

"Team Rainbow Rocket... has disappeared."

Professor Oak, who was in his old age and never imagined he would experience such a shocking event, plopped down on the ground.

Along with the other trainers and Pokémon who gradually came to their senses, they finally looked away, and the expressions on their faces were no longer as blank and confused as before.

Instead, it was...

I felt both relieved and intensely unwilling to accept it.

Without considering why the expert who arrived late hadn't made a move at the beginning, he was simply relieved:

Fortunately, someone managed to salvage some dignity.

Fortunately, someone managed to turn the tide in terms of strength.

"I'm increasingly finding being a champion meaningless."

The former Flying-type Elite Four member patted the Poké Ball at his waist, thinking that his defeated partner must have the same thoughts as him, and looked at Professor Oak with resentment.

His expression seemed to say, "You knew there were such powerful experts out there, yet you still let everyone waste so much time."

It wasn't just Yu Longdu who made the same expression; even the usually oblivious Dan Di had a similar look.

Having been bored for too long in a state of self-righteous invincibility, I suddenly realized that I had just been wasting my life, and there was a truly worthwhile ultimate state to pursue and strive for.

With the trainers' thought processes of the champions present, how could they resist such temptation?

Professor Oak, who also realized this, was drenched in sweat.

What made the elderly sweat profusely was not only that, but the belatedly arrived support team from the entire alliance had also reached the skies above Melemele Island.

"That old bastard Da Mu, get out here!"

"Whoosh!" Without giving any face to Professor Oak, who was renowned in the scientific community and among trainers, the Elite Four member, Kikuko, who was also an old woman, shouted loudly into the loudspeaker.

puff.

Unlike the other champions, Cynthia showed no regret even after being defeated, and she sneered.

As a battle maniac no less than Nemo's, doesn't Cynthia feel even a little bit of resentment?

Or perhaps Sister Cabbage, having already overcome her fear of death, has already glimpsed the legendary realm at the end of the road?

It is not known yet.

However, the resentment from being scammed has definitely eased a bit now.

The Sinnoh Champion scanned the direction where there should have been another person or Pokémon, thinking that this time he could finally make fun of his opponent, but he did not see his opponent in the place he was supposed to be.

"Perhaps Giovanni of the Rainbow didn't go too far," Cynthia thought with a hint of regret.

Is that really the case?

------

"Pikachu? (Did you go back?)"

Scratching his cheek, Pikachu, who hadn't quite figured out what was going on from beginning to end, only managed to land a very satisfying blow at the end, asked his trainer this question.

Perhaps, for Pikachu, who has already experienced all sorts of adventures, this incident is just another ordinary day.

The dark clouds have dispersed, and the sky is as clear as after the rain.
