"Bibi, bibi~"
The tiny Celebi waved at Xia Yan, Latios, and the others.
By the time Xia Yan emerged from the Divine Tree.
The chaotic battle outside had already ended.
Seeing Zarude and the surrounding wild Pokémon getting along amicably, the situation had presumably developed according to the original course of events in the end.
The researchers who had originally followed Dr. Jed had also voluntarily stayed behind to help restore the damaged forest.
It presented a scene of humans and Pokémon living together in harmony.
And Coco, both human and Zarude, became the bridge and bond between them.
Seeing that the Zarude had finally accepted the surrounding wild Pokémon and the humans present, Celebi immediately brightened up and fluttered toward its Zarude "dad."
After several decades, Celebi's reappearance undoubtedly made the Pokémon and humans present even more energized and motivated.
With the Zarude's ability to nourish vegetation simply by crushing vine fragments, restoring this ruined forest would not be difficult.
And Xia Yan believed.
If the Zarude truly acknowledged these wild Pokémon and worked with them to maintain the forest, then this forest would surely become even more lush, with even more abundant resources within it.
"It's time to go."
"Os."
Latios nodded slightly.
Xia Yan did not want to disrupt that harmonious scene. He had come to mooch off the Healing Spring in the first place, and now that he had gained enormous benefits from it, there was no need to make Zarude and the other Pokémon nervous again.
He swung himself onto Latios's back.
With a slight tremble of Latios's wings.
They shot straight into the distance.
With Latios's current strength, even without Mega Evolution, its long-distance flight ability had already become the strongest in Xia Yan's team.
Champion-level strength.
What it granted was not merely stronger
