Sui Yan carried a Light Stone after Lu Ze recognized it as Reshiram’s petrified form, while the group prepared for an afternoon of beach activities. Their plans were interrupted when the battling Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres reached Hawaii, and the chapter ended as Lu Ze noticed a Slowking on a distant hill.

• Larvesta had covered the glowing white bead with its body, and Lu Ze identified it as the Light Stone that could restore Reshiram when its chosen hero arrived.
• Lu Ze persuaded Sui Yan to carry the stone, and the group gathered for lunch before heading to the beach for speedboat surfing.
• The group learned that Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno had devastated the island nation while fighting, then saw Pokémon fleeing from the birds’ arrival in Hawaii.
• Articuno froze people and the ocean as the trio exchanged attacks, so Lu Ze had Deoxys protect the group while he watched for an opening.
• Lu Ze examined the birds’ abilities and grew suspicious as their battle seemed familiar, until he spotted a Slowking on a distant hill.

Lu Ze questioned Slowking about the prophecy and decided to stop the three enraged Legendary Birds before Lugia appeared. Deoxys defeated and sealed Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, leaving Lu Ze’s companions stunned that he had a Legendary Pokémon.

• Lu Ze and his companions flew to Slowking’s cliff, where Slowking recited a prophecy about black wings, three gods, and a child of prophecy but admitted it did not know what Lu Ze should do.

• Lu Ze explained Shadow Lugia to his companions as the battle continued, then Mega Evolved Latios to help fight.

Shadow Lugia turned the battle around by ambushing Darkrai and Mega Latios underwater and freezing them, leaving Deoxys to fight alone. Lu Ze and Sui Yan began melting the ice to rescue them, but Shadow Lugia spotted the rescuers and charged toward them.

• Shadow Lugia escaped Deoxys's Gravity by burrowing beneath the ice, then dragged Darkrai underwater and froze it with Blizzard.
• Shadow Lugia caught Mega Latios underwater and froze it as well, while Deoxys dodged its attempt to drag it below the surface.
• Lu Ze flew from the cliff with Crobat, followed by Charizard, Electivire, and Crawdaunt, to locate and rescue Darkrai and Mega Latios.

• A blinding white light suddenly flared from inside Sui Yan’s pocket as the Hyper Beam closed in.

Reshiram rescued Sui Yan from the Cardinal, while Mewtwo used the Dark Bell to ease Shadow Lugia’s confusion. After the group discovered the Church’s machine was worsening Shadow Lugia’s condition, Lu Ze had Mega Latios destroy it, leaving them to see whether Shadow Lugia would recover.

• Reshiram appeared to shield Sui Yan from Haxorus’s Hyper Beam, defeated Haxorus, and helped Sui Yan restrain the Cardinal.
• The Lugia elder found Shadow Lugia still confused, and Mewtwo arrived with the Dark Bell to temporarily clear his mind.

• Sui Yan introduced the Cardinal and the machine to Lu Ze, and the Cardinal admitted that the device could affect legendary Pokémon.
• Lu Ze ordered Mega Latios to destroy the machine, and everyone turned to watch Shadow Lugia.

• Tang Yunqin, Su Tingxi, and the others approached the group, while Sui Yan gave Reshiram Energy Cubes and Rayquaza glared at him.

Lu Ze arranged for Shadow Lugia to live near the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea so Rayquaza could restrain him if he lost control and Lu Ze could bring the Dark Bell. As the group prepared a beach barbecue, Mewtwo and Rayquaza challenged each other to a fight, leaving the Legendary Pokémon watching for their showdown.

• Rayquaza and Mewtwo argued over the first batch of grilled meat, so Lu Ze gave it to other Pokémon before handing them each a skewer.
• Shadow Lugia enjoyed the meal and played with Zorua and Dratini, relieving Lugia's older brother and the Lugia clan leader.

Zhou Jiaqi told Shangqing’s ten national team candidates that their tournament included an opponent with Regirock, then introduced a Pokémon battle game as their new training method.

• Zhou Jiaqi revealed that a competitor had been approached by Regirock and had already claimed one national team slot, and he confirmed Legendary Pokémon could enter the tournament.
• Lu Ze and Sui Yan were reassured that they could use their own Legendary Pokémon, while Tang Yunqin resented being the only one of their group without one.
