The holy light radiating from Arceus, along with Dialga and Palkia, flew over from the distance and explained:
"It's not my power. Your ancestors were the ones who desperately nurtured this land. This land was revived through the efforts of humans and Pokemon together."
"I see!" Brock suddenly understood.
Naoki, standing behind, couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.
"We should be leaving as well," he said.
Calyrex nodded slightly. Today, he had indeed encountered an incredible existence!
In that case, it's time to return home!
After Arceus was reprimanded, Giratina finally resolved its inner conflicts and opened the door to the Reversed World.
Ash and the others, hearing the commotion, turned around and saw the Motorcycle Mask riding on Giratina.
"Are you leaving?" Ash quickly asked.
Naoki nodded at him, then flew into the Reversed World along with several Pokemon.
Ash and the others waved goodbye to them vigorously as they watched.
"Goodbye!"
In the sunset, Dialga and Palkia returned to their respective dimensions.
Suddenly, only Ash and his companions, along with Arceus, were left here.
Arceus stood on the temple, gazing at the distant sunset.
"Ash, your world is truly wonderful."
Ash was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes!"
Arceus turned back to glance at him, then flew away, bathed in the warm sunset, feeling infinite sentiment.
"Now I finally understand that I am also a part of this world."
Like those ordinary Pokemon, able to participate in this, engaging in Pokemon battles.
Speaking of Pokemon battles, Arceus couldn't help but recall the figure of that human earlier.
"Naoki? I didn't expect you to have the ability to defeat me, Naoki... I will remember you."

"Okay, okay, I got it. Next time, I'll definitely bring you along, alright?"
In the ranch, Naoki looked at the sulking Koraidon in front of him and couldn't help but reach out and pat its big head.
The matter with Arceus resolved, his promise with Giratina completed, and those Legendary Pokemon who came to aid dispersed back to their dwellings in the World Tree.
And that world-shaking battle naturally stirred up a storm online.
Those netizens were eager to know the outcome of the battle, but no one could tell them, because no one saw the scene at that time.
Naoki, having skimmed through the comments with interest for a while, paid them no further attention.
Another major event concluded, and they could now enjoy the leisurely life on the ranch!
However, at that moment, the phone at home suddenly rang.
Naoki stepped forward to answer it, seeing Ash's face appear on the screen.
On the other end, Ash appeared very excited: "Mr. Naoki!"
"Hm? Ash? Why did you suddenly call the ranch?" Naoki deliberately pretended not to understand.
Ash asked, "Is Calyrex still by your side?"
"Calyrex…" Naoki shook his head, "Him? He said he was too bored staying on the ranch, so he went out traveling the world some time ago. I guess he's probably experiencing life somewhere right now, right?"
On the sofa not far away, Calyrex showed a helpless expression upon hearing these words.
He had never said such a thing! Well, since his little follower didn't want to reveal his identity, he would help conceal it.
Hearing Naoki's words, Ash was dumbfounded.
"Huh? Could that person not be Mr. Naoki?"
Naoki raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong? Has something happened?"
"I thought that Motorcycle Mask was you..." Ash said honestly.
"How could that be? I've been on the ranch the whole time, and with the distance between Paldea and the Sinnoh Region, even the fastest would take seven hours to reach either place?" Naoki replied.
"Alright then." Ash was very disappointed but quickly regained his spirits, "Next time I get the chance, I must challenge the Motorcycle Mask to a Pokemon battle!"
Naoki: "..."
It was already dark on Ash's side, and they were resting at the Pokemon Center in Midina, as it was dinner time.
"Alright, let's talk later! We're going to have dinner now, and hopefully, I'll visit the ranch next time, goodbye, Mr. Naoki!" Ash said.
Naoki smiled slightly, "Goodbye!"
While it was night in the Sinnoh Region, it was still noon in the Paldea Region.
Using the Z-Move had consumed a lot of energy, making Naoki feel a bit tired, so after having lunch, he took a nap with several Eevees.
However, in his sleep, Naoki suddenly heard a dreamy, ethereal voice.
"Naoki, come to the World Tree!"
Naoki abruptly opened his eyes, seeing a holy golden light orb slowly floating in front of him.
Naoki was shocked.
What is this?!
Yet the light orb, seeing him awake, began to float towards the door.
Naoki was very surprised. Could there be such a thing in the Pokemon World?
Or was he dreaming?
Naoki looked around, and the Eevees beside him were still sound asleep, but upon closer inspection, he noticed that the Eevees were motionless!
Naoki suddenly realized that not only the Eevees, but as if all sounds had vanished!
Leaves suspended mid-air, curtains blown by the wind, a motionless Squawkabilly…
Time had stopped!
Was it the work of the Time God Dialga?
No... Dialga wouldn't do such a thing.
Naoki pondered for a moment and decided to follow and see the situation.
He got out of bed, put on his shoes, opened the door, and saw the golden light orb waiting for him in the living room.
Seeing Naoki catch up, the golden light began to move again.
It floated out of the house, past the farmlands, and into the large lake at the center of the ranch, then into Giratina's Reversed World.
Naoki followed and, after some twists and turns, found out that the golden light's destination was the Explorer Team Guild on the World Tree!
In the Slowpoke Park at the center of the guild, Naoki looked blankly at the golden light orb radiating golden light in front of him.
He couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
In the next second, the light orb began to change.
A form radiating holy light appeared from within, surrounded by the Thousand Arm Bands Naoki was all too familiar with.
Wasn't this the Arceus who had recently gone through a great battle with him?!
No, wait! This Arceus didn't have the Creation Plate!
At this moment, a fantastic thought appeared in Naoki's mind.
Could this Arceus be the real body of Arceus?!
In his bewildered gaze, the Arceus in front of him spoke.
"You've already met my avatar before, I am named Arceus, the creator of this world."
