A Passing Trainer

Two days later.

The sun shone brightly beneath a cloudless sky.

As an island region, the Alola Region boasted quite beautiful scenery.

But the group currently flying above the Alola Region had no mind to appreciate it.

"Professor Jing He, is it really that serious?"

Volkner, lying atop Wataru's Charizard, could not help asking as they neared their destination.

Jing He, lying at the front atop Dragonite with a slightly pale face, glanced back at him without saying anything.

Can't you see we're riding Dragonite just to get there? Do you really need to ask whether it's serious?

Beside Jing He were Cynthia and Caitlin, half-crouched on Garchomp's back, Diantha, Wataru lying on another Dragonite, and Steven Stone seated atop Shiny Metagross.

That lineup could absolutely be called luxurious.

It was a pity Leon still had to handle the aftermath of the Masters Tournament. Otherwise, Jing He would probably have brought him along too.

Before long.

They successfully reached their destination, the Altar of the Sunne!

The moment they landed.

A golden ring appeared before Jing He, followed by a burst of giggling.

"Hehe, guess who I am!"

"I have delicious Macarons here." Jing He chuckled.

"Macarons!"

The next second, Little Hoopa flew out from the golden ring and pounced at Jing He, "snatching" the Macarons from his hand.

Hoopa!

"Jing He, you guys are so slow~~"

Hoopa spoke as it hovered beside Jing He.

"Nimi~" Victini revealed itself.

[Hewwo~] Little Jirachi appeared as well, copying the clumsy way of speaking.

Marshadow, hidden in Jing He's shadow, poked out its head. After confirming there were no enemies, it tossed away the little stick in its hand.

Before long.

Hoopa, Victini, Jirachi, and Marshadow stared wide-eyed at one another as they munched on Macarons together.

Crunch, crunch—crunch, crunch—
