• Diancie’s Dawn Break pierced through Mega Charizard X’s Sacred Fire and drove it into a crater, leaving Charizard badly wounded after it exited Mega Evolution.
• Ho-Oh realized that Diancie had mastered a fraction of the laws of light, while Liao Xingchen and Mega Charizard X had only grasped the form of Sacred Fire.
• Liao Xingchen accepted the loss and reflected on the responsibility of inheritance, while Marshadow told him he had earned a passing grade as the Rainbow Hero.
• Suicune returned the referee, who declared Charizard Out of Battle and awarded the fifth-round victory to Su Hao, advancing him to the next round.

• Su Hao studied the Emerald Green Light glowing around his left hand and wondered whether he could restore the land as well.

Su Hao spoke with Ho-Oh about Calyrex, the World Tree, and Lugia, then watched Ho-Oh give Diancie a feather containing its insights into the Law of Light. Ho-Oh warned that the balance between life and death might be disrupted and urged Su Hao to alert Xerneas about the Observers of Order.

• Su Hao met Ho-Oh beneath the phoenix tree after Liao Xingchen left them alone.
• Ho-Oh revealed that it had learned of Su Hao from Calyrex tens of thousands of years earlier, but it did not know where Calyrex or the World Tree had gone.

Su Hao learned from Ho-Oh that the Terapagos crystal was suspended between life and death and needed both vitality and energy to revive. After warning Xerneas about Zygarde’s movements, he left the crystal with Xerneas to nurture while he searched for a way to replenish its energy.

• Ho-Oh warned Su Hao that Zygarde had begun moving and explained that its 10% Forme neared Master Level, its 50% Forme could hunt Xerneas and Yveltal, and its 100% Forme rivaled the strongest Legendaries.
• Ho-Oh examined the Terapagos crystal and said it was between life and death, needing both vitality and energy, but that its resurrection power could not free it from that state.
• Su Hao considered seeking energy from another Terapagos, Victini, or Jirachi, then decided to ask Xerneas to restore the crystal’s vitality and find its energy elsewhere.
• Su Hao went to Viridian Forest and told Xerneas about Zygarde’s movements; Xerneas said Zygarde was likely gathering strength because the balance between life and death was shifting.
• Xerneas agreed to nurture the Terapagos crystal gently while Su Hao sought a way to replenish its energy.

At the Mewtwo Research Institute, Su Hao learned that Ultra Megalopolis had sent two agents to investigate Blue Star, find the Star Child, and eliminate him. Clues pointed to the New Star Organization or the R Institute possessing the transformed Cosmoem, and Su Hao left the agents’ fate to the Pokémon League.

• Mewtwo explained that it had placed two Ultra Recon Squad members in containment chambers because brain surgery performed by Ultra Megalopolis resisted hypnosis.
• Su Hao learned that the pair had arrived nearly two months earlier to scout Blue Star, seek partners, find Beidou-2, and arrange his assassination.

Su Hao assessed the paths his Champion-level Pokémon could take and focused on helping Zeraora develop abilities beyond its exceptional speed. After Zeraora's training run, he encouraged it to continue despite Reshiram's harsh criticism.

• Su Hao considered the laws and resources that could help his Pokémon advance, noting that most of his team already had promising paths while Zeraora's was less defined.
• Su Hao trained with Zeraora in Aokigahara Forest, where Zeraora used a magnetic field to fly at tremendous speed.
• Su Hao praised Zeraora's improved speed, but Reshiram criticized it for lacking the power to break through Incineroar's defenses.
• Su Hao defended the training and explained that Zeraora needed new abilities beyond its existing moves to keep pace with the others.

• Shiny Genesect approached the Tranquil Eye, hijacked the broadcast, and delivered a message promising Blue Star a gift.
• Genesect poured dark-red energy onto the meteorite, causing it to expand beyond a thousand kilometers as it drew closer to Blue Star.

Miao Yin learned that Ho-Oh could not stop the meteorite and recommended moving people into Secret Realms, but Liao Xingchen revealed that Rayquaza might be able to reach it. Miao Yin asked whether Su Hao could help.

• Miao Yin asked Liao Xingchen, "Then, what about Su Hao?"

Su Hao went to Sky Tower and persuaded Rayquaza to destroy the Gigantamax meteor by offering to destroy its Master Ball. Rayquaza flew into space, while Su Hao and Mewtwo prepared to monitor the crisis and identified Giovanni as the person behind the hijacked broadcast footage.

• Su Hao used Mewtwo's Teleport to reach Sky Tower's summit and awakened Rayquaza with Aura.
• Rayquaza questioned why it should help Su Hao and demanded that he apologize, serve it, and sever his contract with Reshiram.

• Su Hao asked Mewtwo to take him to the command center so they could track Rayquaza through the Divine Land Alliance's satellites.
• Mewtwo recognized the voice and partial view of a figure in the hijacked broadcast footage, and Su Hao identified him as Giovanni.

After identifying the R Institute's leader as a Giovanni who may have crossed from another world through an Ultra Wormhole, Su Hao returned to the giant meteor response center. Rayquaza launched into space and successfully reached the meteor, leaving the crisis response underway.

• Mewtwo theorized that Giovanni had come to Blue Star through an Ultra Wormhole, while Su Hao suspected a connection to Team Rainbow Rocket.
• Su Hao and Mewtwo arrived at the emergency command center, where Su Hao said he had persuaded Rayquaza to head into space.
• Miao Yin ordered the Great Sage, Erlang, and Third Prince Satellites to track Rayquaza above Sky Tower.
• Rayquaza used Dragon Dance to accelerate beyond the second cosmic velocity and leave Blue Star's atmosphere.
• The satellites showed Rayquaza closing in on the giant meteor, and the command center celebrated its successful arrival in space.

Rayquaza destroyed the meteorite, but the blast awakened a Gigantamax-mutated Deoxys that overwhelmed it. Su Hao and Mega Mewtwo Y entered space to help, leaving Su Hao beside Rayquaza as he sent his friends a selfie with Deoxys.

• Rayquaza attacked the meteorite with Draco Meteor and other powerful moves, breaking it apart.

• Mewtwo gave Su Hao a spacesuit and opened a Space Channel, then joined him in heading into space.
• Su Hao appeared atop Rayquaza, took a selfie with Deoxys and the stars behind him, and sent it to his friends with the message, "Thanks for the invitation, I'm in space."

Su Hao persuaded Rayquaza to accept a meteorite that restored its power, allowing it to undergo Delta Evolution and blast Gigantamax Deoxys out of its transformed state. The battle continued as Deoxys tried to reach Blue Star, while Rayquaza blocked its way and failed to understand its attempt at communication.

• Su Hao explored the lunar surface and took selfies after Mega Rayquaza returned to Sky Tower.
• Su Hao decided Diancie should continue cultivating with the Island Guardians rather than remain on the moon.
• Deoxys returned from the moon’s far side and said it planned to settle in a basin.
• Su Hao asked Deoxys whether it could sense the location of the companion on Blue Star who had sent the summoning signal.

Su Hao said goodbye to Deoxys after giving it a communication device, then returned to Blue Star. He learned that Xerneas had restored some of Terapagos's vitality, but awakening it would require more energy, while Cresselia's feather still showed no sign of rebirth.

• Deoxys told Su Hao it could not locate its companions, and Su Hao gave it a modified communication device so they could stay in touch.
