After bringing Milotic to Hua Dongmei in Magic City, Su Hao returned to Yang City and discussed the incident’s implications with Mewtwo. He later learned that the World Championship: Legend Cup would be held across the entire world.

• Latios and Latias left after escorting Su Hao and Milotic to Magic City.
• Milotic reunited with Hua Dongmei, broke down in her arms, and fell asleep as Hua Dongmei comforted it.
• Hua Dongmei decided to ask the Chairman to establish a peace organization connected to Milotic’s power instead of returning it to the United Nations.
• Su Hao sent Hua Dongmei and Milotic to a safe place in downtown Magic City, then returned to Yang City to discuss the incident with Mewtwo.
• On September 20, Shen Yun informed Su Hao that the World Championship: Legend Cup would be held across the entire world.

Su Hao learned about the Legend Cup’s selection process and examined Naganadel’s increasingly dangerous venom with Mewtwo. He then watched Incineroar chase Zeraora, whose training gains had made it too fast for the furious tiger to catch.

• Su Hao learned that the Divine Land Alliance would receive roughly ten Legend Cup recommendations and that he would compete under its high-priority slot.
• Mewtwo found that Naganadel’s venom had grown more than fifty percent stronger and could threaten Gym Level Pokémon.

• Su Hao heard Incineroar roaring and found it chasing Zeraora across the training grounds.
• Zeraora used its speed and Thunder attacks to toy with Incineroar, while Su Hao noted that it had reached Late Elite Four Level and improved its agility further.

Su Hao and his Pokémon shared a barbecue before taking shelter from a sudden rainstorm in Mewtwo’s castle. The story then shifted to Provence, where a blonde girl brought bread to a small Pokémon that revealed itself to be Zygarde.

• Su Hao grilled meat for the carnivorous Pokémon and vegetables for Ogerpon, Leafeon, and the others.

• Su Hao slept soundly in the castle while the rain fell outside.
• In Provence, a blonde girl carried bread to a small Pokémon hiding in the lavender fields.
• The Pokémon identified itself as Zygarde and told the girl not to call it Little Z.

Zygarde chose Kalos as its spokesperson and prepared to travel the world with her to recover its scattered cells and confront the power threatening order. A week after returning to Yang City, Su Hao trained for the Legend Cup and assessed his team’s strength and plans for their growth.

• Zygarde asked Kalos about her preparations, and she said she was ready to leave her home behind.

• Su Hao and Xavier Baden recognized each other at the Legend Cup opening, recalling their previous encounters and the German Alliance’s losing record against the Divine Land Alliance.
• The Divine Land Alliance contestants received their first-round matchups, and Su Hao agreed to battle Baden in the German Alliance’s Forest Wilds Secret Realm.
• On September 25, Su Hao and Baden began their globally broadcast match, sending out Zeraora and Whimsicott.
• Baden ordered Whimsicott to spread Sleep Powder, but Su Hao commanded Zeraora to use Electro Ball.
• Zeraora crossed the distance at incredible speed and knocked Whimsicott unconscious with one hit, prompting Baden to send out Togetic.

Zeraora defeated Xavier Baden’s Togetic, Victreebel, Leafeon, and Sceptile, extending its winning streak to five. Xavier Baden sent out his final Pokémon as Zeraora awaited his last trump card.

• Xavier Baden sent out Togetic, which used Tailwind and Cotton Guard to prepare for Zeraora’s attacks.

• Zeraora rushed Togetic and knocked it out with three electrified punches.
• Xavier Baden sent out Victreebel and then Leafeon, but Zeraora defeated both with ease.
• Zeraora battled Sceptile through the forest and defeated it with Plasma Bolt Punch and Fire Punch.
• After Zeraora won five battles in a row, Xavier Baden sent out his final Pokémon.

Su Hao’s Zeraora defeated Xavier Baden’s Mega Abomasnow during their world-class tournament battle, extending Su Hao’s one-versus-six sweep. Afterward, Su Hao spotted a camera-carrying Pidgeotto hiding beneath the snow-covered trees.

• Xavier Baden sent out Abomasnow as the Forest Wilds Secret Realm shifted into nighttime snowfall, hoping the conditions would help him resist Su Hao.
• Su Hao ordered Zeraora to strike Abomasnow with Plasma Bolt Punch, weakening it before it could complete Mega Evolution.
• Mega Abomasnow attacked with Ice Shards and Ice Punch, but Zeraora dodged and repeatedly wounded it with swift assaults.
• Su Hao’s Zeraora unleashed its signature Z-Move, Plasma Speed Fist, and brought Mega Abomasnow crashing down.
• Su Hao looked toward a hidden camera and spotted a sweating Pidgeotto holding it beneath a snow-covered tree.

After defeating Xavier Baden, Su Hao discovered that the camera-carrying Pidgeotto was actually a weakened Mew and took it with him. Mia agreed to let him leave with the Pokémon, but Mrs. Greiner revealed that she had never trained a Pidgeotto.

• Su Hao spotted Mew disguised as a Pidgeotto among the livestream cameras and saw that its level had fallen from Class Two Legendary to Elite Four Level.
• Su Hao held out his arm, and Mew hopped onto it before he carried it toward the Secret Realm exit.
• Mia welcomed Su Hao and, after he asked to take the Pidgeotto, agreed while he offered to pay for it.
• Su Hao declined Mia's offer to arrange a hotel, boarded his private jet, and left for home.
• Mia told Mrs. Greiner about Su Hao taking the Pidgeotto, and Mrs. Greiner said she had never trained any Pidgeotto.

Su Hao brought a disguised Mew to the Mewtwo Research Institute, where Mewtwo recognized it and examined its weakened condition. Mewtwo discovered that Mew was not in a symbiotic state and asked whether its connection to this world's World Tree had been severed.

• Su Hao confronted the Pidgeotto-shaped Mew, which kept up its disguise while Diancie watched.
• Mewtwo arrived with an exhausted Metagross and immediately saw through Mew's Transform.
• Mewtwo threatened Mew until it reverted to its original form and hid behind Su Hao.

• Mewtwo examined Mew and found it extremely weak, with its Energy Level at Elite Four Level.
• Mewtwo asked whether Mew's connection to this world's World Tree had been severed.

Su Hao learned that Mew was a newly born Mythical Pokémon whose inherited bond with the World Tree had left it dangerously weakened. Mewtwo connected the World Tree to myths across the regions and warned that its collapse could bring the world close to destruction.

• Mewtwo showed Mew an image of the World Tree, and Mew eagerly asked where it could find the tree.
• Su Hao learned that Mew had inherited its predecessor’s power and memories, including the task of finding the World Tree and delivering Evolution Key Stones and Lucarionite to someone with a particular Aura.
• Su Hao realized that Mew’s inherited bond with the World Tree had weakened it from Class Two Legendary to Elite Four Level and could eventually endanger its life.
• Mew played with Diancie, Ogerpon, and the others while Mewtwo considered what it knew about the World Tree.
• Mewtwo told Su Hao that myths across different regions contained traces of the World Tree and that Team Rocket’s past attempt to extract its energy had nearly caused its collapse and threatened the world.

Mewtwo explained that the World Tree stabilized the world, so Su Hao added finding Blue Star’s World Tree to their priorities and asked Mewtwo to look after Mew while he traveled. In Paris, Su Hao’s Mega Metagross defeated François’s Hydreigon for another six-to-zero sweep, while Kalos and Zygarde watched from the stands.

• Mewtwo explained that the World Tree’s failure caused the world to destabilize and made incursions through Ultra Wormholes more common.
• Su Hao, Mewtwo, and Reshiram agreed to search for Blue Star’s World Tree, and Su Hao asked Mewtwo to guard Mew during his travels.
• In Paris, Su Hao’s Mega Metagross overwhelmed François’s Hydreigon with Meteor Mash and won the match.
• Kalos watched the battle with Zygarde, who bragged that it could defeat Mega Metagross in a stronger form and considered its unusual power.

Su Hao learned that the other Leagues had arranged Elite Four opponents to test him, then received North Bear Alliance Champion Alexei Nikolaevich Yegor as his fourth-round opponent. Shen Yun explained Yegor’s standing and warned that his team might include one of the three Swords of Justice.

• Shen Yun explained that the other Leagues had deliberately sent three Elite Four opponents against Su Hao to assess his strength.
• Shen Yun reported that Wang Anquan and Long Tianxing had been eliminated, while Liao Xingchen kept returning to his trial and Marshadow fought in his place.
• Su Hao received notice that his fourth-round opponent would be North Bear Alliance Champion Alexei Nikolaevich Yegor, with the match scheduled for half a month later.
• Shen Yun told Su Hao that Yegor was one of the strongest Trainers of the previous generation and might have one of the three Swords of Justice on his team.

Su Hao learned that Champion Yegor might partner with one of the Swords of Justice, and hoped the North Bear Alliance champion could provide clues to Keldeo and Kyurem. Yegor chose to face Su Hao without a partner and invited Keldeo to gain battle experience before its future trial against the Evil Dragon.

• Shen Yun warned Su Hao that Yegor might bring a Sword of Justice to their upcoming match, while Su Hao considered sending Cycloze or Reshiram.
• Yegor fought a wild Ursaring barehanded in the frozen North Bear Alliance wilderness.
• Ekaterina told Yegor that Su Hao would be his fourth-round opponent and that his mother wanted him to choose a Sword of Justice as a partner.
• Yegor refused to partner with a Sword of Justice, saying he would challenge Su Hao with his own strength before facing Liao Xingchen.
• Yegor asked Ekaterina to invite Keldeo to gain actual combat experience for its future challenge against the Evil Dragon.

After returning to the Divine Land Alliance, Su Hao supervised his Pokémon’s intense training while planning to strengthen his team and track the remaining Chosen Seat holders. The chapter ended with Lucario, Zeraora, and Mega Metagross locked in a fierce three-way spar as Mew watched nervously.

• Su Hao and Shen Yun returned from Paris on October 3, and Su Hao planned to help his Pokémon break through and monitor the five remaining known Chosen Seat holders.
• Leafeon and Ogerpon sparred at the Mewtwo Research Institute, with Ogerpon defending against Leafeon’s sword attacks and both Pokémon pushing their limits.
• Su Hao comforted Mew, then healed Leafeon and Ogerpon after their spar and left them Energy Cubes to recover.
• Su Hao took Mew to watch Lucario fight Zeraora and Mega Metagross while Cycloze supervised their escalating battle.
• Mew hid behind Su Hao, and Cycloze mocked its courage.

Mew explained why it had been frightened during its encounter with humans, and Su Hao decided to keep the truth behind the Dragon God legend secret. Later, Auston delivered Su Hao a message from Queen Diancie and an invitation from the Great Britain royal family to explore a newly discovered Secret Realm, leaving Su Hao to decide whether to accept.

• Mew struggled to hurt Cycloze and tearfully explained to Su Hao that its earlier flight had been caused by fear and its weakened strength.
• Su Hao chose not to reveal that the Dragon God legend was false and handed Mew to Mewtwo to deal with.
• On October 6, Auston visited Su Hao after following the Divine Land Alliance's official procedures.
• Auston gave Su Hao a pink diamond from Queen Diancie, which contained sealed information.
• Auston delivered a Great Britain royal invitation to explore a newly discovered Secret Realm and asked Su Hao to reply that day.

Su Hao learned that the Sirius Secret Realm might hold a way to stop the awakening Disaster Dragon, Nihilego, and accepted the Great Britain Alliance’s invitation to explore it. He arrived in London amid spreading Gigantamax disasters and was introduced to Champion Tori Pendragon, who would lead the expedition.

• Su Hao and Mewtwo assessed the Great Britain Alliance’s invitation and connected reports of dark-red skies and rampant Gigantamaxing to Nihilego’s imminent awakening.
• Diancie received information from the miniature Sacred Diamond: the Sirius Secret Realm was a heroes’ resting place and might contain a way to confront the Disaster Dragon.
• Su Hao decided to join the expedition, informed Auston, and traveled to London with most of his Pokémon while Mewtwo, Metagross, and Mew remained behind.
• During the flight, Auston explained that he could not sleep because civilians were suffering from Gigantamax eruptions, and Su Hao saw the red haze and fleeing Pokémon over Great Britain.
• At London Airport, Auston introduced Su Hao to Great Britain Alliance Champion Tori Pendragon, who would lead the Sirius Secret Realm expedition.

Su Hao joined Tori Pendragon’s expedition into the Sirius Secret Realm, a dungeon whose unexplored lower level might hold a way to deal with the Disaster Dragon. After breaking through rampaging Gigantamax Pokémon and reaching the dungeon, they prepared to descend with their Pokémon.

• Tori Pendragon briefed Su Hao on the dungeon’s known levels and promised that explorers would keep the treasures they found in exchange for letting the Disaster Dragon’s intended purpose be fulfilled.
• Tori Pendragon and Su Hao flew toward the Augusto Mountains, defeated the Gigantamax Pokémon blocking their way, and reached the Secret Realm’s entrance in a valley.
• An officer told Tori Pendragon that Elite Four members from other Alliances had entered the dungeon independently to explore it.
• Tori Pendragon gave Su Hao a wristwatch containing the advance team’s dungeon map, and they entered the Secret Realm together.
• At the dungeon passage, Tori Pendragon sent out Cursola and Sirfetch'd, while Su Hao summoned Lucario and Zeraora to begin the descent.

Su Hao and Tori Pendragon explored the dungeon’s mapped middle levels and defeated a Gigalith guarding a treasure chest. Su Hao found and opened the chest, but its Evolution Stones disappointed him, and he continued hoping the dungeon would provide a different encounter.

• Su Hao and Tori Pendragon traveled through the middle levels toward the dungeon’s lower levels.
• Zeraora blitzed and defeated a Gigalith before Tori Pendragon’s Sirfetch’d could act.
• Su Hao detected the buried treasure chest with Aura and had Lucario dig it out.
• Tori Pendragon realized Su Hao’s Aura abilities had let him find the chest without help from her Cursola.
• Su Hao opened the chest and found a Fire Stone, a Thunder Stone, and a Water Stone instead of the Plate Fragment he had hoped for.

Su Hao and Tori Pendragon traveled through the Sirius Secret Realm dungeon, battling Pokémon as they reached the unexplored lower level. They split at a fork, with Tori taking the right passage and Su Hao entering the left.

• Su Hao verified that the Great Britain Alliance’s wristwatch only mapped terrain and recorded routes, then followed the advance team’s map with Tori Pendragon.
• Su Hao rode Cycloze through the dungeon and watched Tori battle with Cursola and Sirfetch'd, whose Meteor Assault impressed him.
• At the deepest mapped point, Su Hao and Tori found two passages beyond the advance team’s records and agreed to go separate ways.
• Tori took the right passage, while Su Hao waited for Aura to survey the left before entering it with Lucario and Zeraora.
