Nighttime.
In the lobby of a Pokémon Center in Ever Grande City.
"I beat myself up."
Ash was eloquently recounting his wondrous journey in the otherworld, leaving the few people before him looking stunned and utterly astonished.
It was none other than Brock, Blue, and Sawyer.
Although they hadn't heard from Ash, the three of them had arrived in Ever Grande City early, waiting for his arrival.
"...And then, I came back."
After speaking for quite a while, Ash finally finished recounting his entire journey.
Since they were all friends, he didn't hold anything back.
If anyone else had said these things, they would have been dismissed as crazy talk, but since it was Ash saying it... it wasn't so hard to believe.
"Eh! I'm so jealous! If I'd known, I would have stuck with you. Maybe I could have seen another version of myself!"
Blue was the first to speak, not hiding her envy at all.
Before heading to the Sky Pillar, Blue had split from Ash in Mossdeep City and gone to a place called Mew Island.
It turned out there was no Mew on the island.
Aside from a large number of wild Wynaut and some rare Berries, there was nothing else there.
Blue's trip was a total bust, and she could only dejectedly rejoin her companions.
The Shining Charm hadn't brought her any good luck.
"Another world, huh... I wonder what I'm like in that other world?"
Brock stroked his chin, quite intrigued.
"Oh, oh, the Teacher Brock from the other world is a completely calm and collected gentleman."
Ash quickly replied, which made Brock furrow his brows.
"So this is the wish-granting Jirachi? A legendary Pokémon...!"
Sawyer, on the other hand, stared with eyes full of amazement at the Pokémon floating in the center of the group.
Its yellow, star-shaped head and small, delicate body were fragile and adorable, but the dark green tear-like marks under its eyes added a sly, contrasting cuteness.
Does this mean that just by making a wish to it, one can become the strongest Trainer in an instant?!
Sawyer loved to read and had indeed seen records of Jirachi in some strange and ancient texts.
However, the three tags on Jirachi's head were now completely rolled up.
Even Ash didn't know if the current Jirachi had completely lost its wish-granting power, or if it had simply entered a cooldown period, buffering energy for the next wish.
"I dunno~!"
Jirachi replied cheerfully. After floating for a moment, it sat down on Ash's shoulder.
Maybe one day it would wake up and suddenly be able to grant wishes again.
After reuniting with his partners, Ash finished telling his story and learned what had happened in this world while he was away.
The rocket from the Mossdeep Space Center had launched, and its Dimensional Transfer Device transported everything within a several-mile radius to another world.
On this point, Zinnia hadn't been wrong.
If Rayquaza hadn't smashed that meteorite to smithereens a step ahead of time and completely nullified the meteor's impact... the meteorite would have been directly transported to the other world, and its direct descent would have been an unprecedented disaster!
The meteorite disaster from the sky had come to a close.
And the battle of Hoenn's Dual Gods on Route 128 didn't last long either.
It was said that a mysterious person attacked the leaders of Team Magma and Team Aqua, who were controlling Groudon and Kyogre from nearby. This stopped the war from escalating further.
The public didn't know who the hero was...
But Brock and the others had gotten some inside scoop from Mr. Steven Stone.
Apparently, Wallace had found two young Trainers at the last minute, who forcibly took the Orbs from Maxie and Archie.
After the Orbs changed owners, the two ancient gods discovered that their new holders possessed pure and resolute hearts, making it difficult to usurp their will again. Unable to draw power from the Orbs, and with the natural energy they had absorbed beaten out of them by a black Rayquaza that appeared out of nowhere...
"We'll fight next time."
It was as if Groudon and Kyogre shared a single mind.
One turned and stepped into the volcano of lava it had created, disappearing from sight.
The other retreated back into the Abyssal Trench, no longer causing massive tsunamis.
And with that, the two major disasters in the Hoenn Region officially came to a close.
After a year and a half, Groudon had finally returned to the Hoenn Region—a harsh slap in the face to the detractors who claimed it would never come back.
Seeing there was nothing left to do, Blue and the others had wanted to go to Sootopolis City to wait for Ash.
However, they were told that the Sootopolis Gym would not be accepting any challenges for the next few months.
After all, the city in the sea was too close to Route 128. The entire city had been affected by the war between Groudon and Kyogre and had yet to fully recover.
With no other choice, the group could only head directly to Ever Grande City to await Ash's return.
"So that's what happened..."
Ash was continuously amazed as he listened.
As for those two strong young Trainers... no need to even think about it, it had to be Yuki and May.
Those two were also saving the world behind the scenes.
"By the way, the Ever Grande Conference officially opens tomorrow. Ash, are you ready?"
Sawyer couldn't help but ask.
Although he held the same ideal, Sawyer didn't plan to compete this time. Instead, he wanted to watch Ash's battles from start to finish to build a good foundation for his own future journey.
"Uh, you don't need to worry about that..."
"The ones who should be worried are the other Trainers..."
Before Ash could answer, Brock and Blue revealed strange smiles.
Their minds recalled the first Indigo League Conference and The Royal Mask who had shown up just to crush the competition.
Blue, who had been instantly knocked out by The Royal Mask in her very first match, still fumed at the memory; she had wanted to throw him into the sea to feed a Sharpedo.
And now...
It seemed Ash had become the new Royal Mask?!
"There are still quite a few strong opponents this time."
Ash waved his hand, not underestimating the competition.
"For example, Wally. Don't be fooled by his frail appearance. Not long after becoming a Trainer, he showed off impressive strength in the Sky Ring competition in Verdanturf Town."
Some time has passed since then, so his strength has surely only grown.
"And then there's that Trainer from Mauville City with the Meowth in boots."
Although they only had a brief clash, that opponent's strength was also impressive.
"Also, Yuki and May... those two should be in Ever Grande City now too."
Ash's gaze sharpened. Those two couldn't be judged by the standards of an ordinary Trainer.
By now, their strength must have far surpassed that of an ordinary Trainer, right?
Thinking about it, this Ever Grande Conference is truly full of hidden masters.
If I'm the slightest bit careless, I might just trip up and fail unexpectedly.
