Mewtwo placed the Shaymin it was holding into the Gracidea flowers.
Shaymin began to absorb the Gracidea's pollen, and its Land Form once again transformed into its Sky Form.
"Are you awake? Can you tell me what you were doing?" Ace asked, walking over to Mewtwo and looking into its eyes. "Also, what's your relationship with Shaymin?"
Mewtwo looked at Ace and communicated through telepathy, "Thank you. But some things, you..."
Mewtwo's voice became softer as Ace's face grew more displeased until it stopped altogether.
"...Alright, alright, stop looking at me like that."
Mewtwo finally gave in to Ace's stern gaze. It pointed to the recovered Shaymin and said telepathically, "This is my friend. I've traveled to many places and made many like-minded friends. As for this injury, it's because I found that strange space and decided to check it out. I didn't expect the guy inside to be so aggressive and directly attack me."
Mewtwo briefly explained its experience, but Ace's frown deepened with every word.
"Where did you enter the Distortion World from?"
"Where? I think it was a mountain. As for its name, I don't know."
"How many friends do you have?"
"Dozens, but not in the way you're thinking. Many of them are just ordinary Pokémon."
"That tree?"
"It's from Xerneas. I broke off a branch."
"So you found that one, too?"
"Yeah."
"If you need help, I can have Blissey train with you?"
"Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it's necessary."
"Then help me with something in a while."
"Alright."
"Here, a way to contact me."
"Got it. I'll be going then."
As Ace threw a small communication device to Mewtwo, it took it and said its farewells.
Ace rolled his eyes and waved helplessly. Seeing this, Mewtwo took Shaymin, and the two Pokémon instantly vanished from Ace's sight.
A few kilometers away in the sky, Shaymin glanced at the distance, then turned to Mewtwo and asked, "Is that the trainer you told me about?"
"Yeah, pretty strong, right?"
Mewtwo smiled at Shaymin. "Although he's not a good person in terms of methods, he's a great trainer in terms of strength and credibility."
"Oh. I'll be going then. Please help me find what I need."
Shaymin didn't have any special feelings. After a word of advice to Mewtwo, it flew off to its next destination.
Mewtwo watched Shaymin leave, then identified its direction and closed its eyes. The next moment, Mewtwo once again vanished from the spot.
In Floaroma Meadow, Ace looked at the distant sky and sighed. He then patted Crobat and Ralts. "Let's go home. The matters in Sinnoh are finally over."
Crobat nodded, and Ralts obediently let itself be returned to its Poké Ball.
Then, Crobat grabbed Ace's shoulders and soared into the sky, flying south.
Xiao Xun stood on the hillside, watching Ace leave. She felt a little lost and said to her Pachirisu, "He's gone. I wonder if I'll ever see that big brother again."
Pachirisu tilted its head and looked at Xiao Xun. With a flash of electricity, Xiao Xun's hair once again became a frizzy mess.
"...Fine, do whatever you want."
Xiao Xun was helpless against the resentful Pachirisu. She took it with her and prepared to go home.
But just as Xiao Xun was about to leave Floaroma Meadow, a group of people in white lab coats ran over. When they saw Xiao Xun, they immediately called out to her, "Little girl, did you see where that explosion was?"
"I did."
Xiao Xun, with her frizzy hair, smiled sweetly.
"It's over there."
Xiao Xun pointed in a completely unrelated direction. The researchers didn't even have time to say thanks before they ran off in the direction she pointed.
"Hmph, you can search all you want!"
After the researchers were gone, Xiao Xun made a face at their backs and skipped home with Pachirisu.
...
A plane slowly landed at the Vermilion City airport, and Ace stepped off.
After leaving the airport, Ace released Crobat. It grabbed him and quickly flew towards their home.
Ace soon returned home, where his Pokémon were doing their daily training. The most noticeable was the combination of Blaziken and Beldum.
Crobat landed with Ace. Ace was dumbfounded as he saw Blaziken being surrounded by the Beldum.
The four Beldum were glowing red like newly forged steel.
But even so, with the constant healing from the two Blissey, the four Beldum refused to fall and kept charging at Blaziken with Take Down.
Blaziken was using Fire Punch and Blaze Kick to block and quickly respond to the continuous onslaught of Take Down.
"What are you guys doing?"
Ace's eye twitched as he asked the Pokémon who were training.
Hearing Ace's voice, Blaziken and the Beldum stopped fighting. Lapras immediately rushed over and sprayed a stream of water to quickly cool down the Beldum.
One of the Blissey ran to the front of Ace, chirping and gesturing to him.
Ace roughly guessed that it was something like "forging steel."
Ace wasn't sure, so he released Ralts. After Ralts translated, Ace finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that after he sent Blaziken and the Beldum back home, the five Pokémon had been training under Blissey's supervision.
The physical training went smoothly. Blaziken took a beating from Blissey, while the Beldum were hitting steel plates.
After a while, the four Beldum managed to smash through a steel plate more than twenty centimeters thick with their relentless hitting.
At the same time, their bodies became even more durable after enduring such a grinding process.
Blissey was at a loss as to how to continue training the Beldum. But then, it suddenly remembered a thing or two about forging. And that's when Blaziken's suffering began.
Blaziken became the blacksmith, using its flame to heat and temper the Beldum.
At first, the Beldum couldn't even withstand a single punch from Blaziken. But under Blissey's constant healing, they endured it.
Especially now, after the continuous high-heat tempering, the Beldum's resistance to fire had reached its maximum. Even Blaziken would need at least three Fire Punches to take down a single Beldum in a one-on-one fight.
Ace called the four Beldum over and looked at them. His eye twitched even more.
