Orange Archipelago.
On a lushly forested island.
A gentle breeze blew beneath the azure sky as Fang Yuan leaned against a large tree, quietly scrolling through his phone.
There were quite a lot of messages. After reading Wallace's, Fang Yuan moved on to Wataru's and Lorelei's.
Then he checked Professor Oak's and Cynthia's messages as well.
After reading them all, Fang Yuan more or less understood what had happened while he had been gathering Legendary Pokémon and dismantling Team Rocket.
"...The League actually suspects me of stealing those airship parts and wants me to hand them over?"
"Is this how they treat the hero who saved the Orange Archipelago?"
"Am I that kind of person? Clearly Rotom, Porygon, and the Celebi stole them. What does that have to do with me, Fang Yuan? This is infuriating."
"Illegal possession of weapons of mass destruction? I'm not taking the blame for that."
"Hmm... But is the League's information network really that efficient? Team Rocket only just announced its disbandment, and Wataru is already asking whether I had anything to do with it...?"
Fang Yuan replied to Wataru and Lorelei:
"I didn't steal the airship's Energy Core. Team Rocket framed me. Hmm... Because of that, I specifically went to Team Rocket and confronted Sakaki. Team Rocket also realized their mistake, so they decided to turn over a new leaf and disband."
By replying to Wataru and Lorelei, he was effectively admitting that Team Rocket's disbandment had something to do with him. With that connection, Fang Yuan figured no one would dare cause him trouble.
Afterward, Fang Yuan replied to Professor Oak and Cynthia.
"The matter has been resolved. Don't worry. Thanks."
Both of them knew Fang Yuan's identity and trusted him fairly well. After replying to them, Fang Yuan saw Ash's message.
