"See? Hoopa said he could feel Lu Ze's aura!"
The moment Lu Ze stepped out of the golden ring, he saw Hoopa Confined smugly talking to Giratina, Kyurem, and the others.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Isn't it because you suddenly disappeared?"
As Kyurem spoke, his gaze flicked toward Giratina.
"Someone got worried."
Giratina had no intention of responding to Kyurem. The instant Lu Ze returned, he flashed back into Lu Ze's shadow.
Lu Ze found it a little strange. He had thought Giratina had already left after the World Championships.
Yet he had actually remained in his shadow the entire time.
"Where did you go? Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Seeing Lu Ze return, Ning Nuan Nuan asked curiously as well.
"I went to another world."
After putting the Poké Ball belt Deoxys had handed him back around his waist, Lu Ze spoke to Hoopa Confined.
"The Hoopa Confined from that other world could already use his own golden rings."
"Ah!"
Hoopa Confined stared at Lu Ze with a stunned, adorably blank expression.
"How is that possible?!"
"No way!"
"How did he do it?!"
A triple wave of shock. Hoopa Confined looked at Lu Ze in disbelief and asked.
"It was like this."
After releasing his own Pokémon from their Poké Balls as well, Lu Ze began telling them what had happened.
Rayquaza stood nearby with a proud look on his face.
Having someone else explain his coolest moment for him was simply too cool.
"So why did he break through?"
After hearing Lu Ze's story, Hoopa Confined still looked completely confused.
You've got to be kidding me. Was that Ash guy really that amazing?
Just saying a few words was enough to help that Hoopa break through his inner barrier?
*And Angry Hoopa himself didn't seem to have that
