The Final Chapter

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Amid the cicadas chirping from the back mountain and the sound of waves, Pokémon School finally welcomed its annual long break.

Everyone was about to part ways. Though they were reluctant to say goodbye, they sincerely wished one another well.

Seeing the sad expressions on their faces, Hu Yang smiled and took out his camera.

When Professor Kukui saw it, he exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! That's an antique!"

Over the past few years, technology had advanced rapidly, and cameras had undergone several generations of upgrades. This style was quite difficult to find nowadays.

Hearing that, Hu Yang lowered his gaze to the camera in his hands with nostalgia. "I bought this eight years ago, when I first set out on my journey."

"No wonder!" Professor Kukui suddenly understood. He saw what Hu Yang meant and warmly called out to Ash and the others, "Everyone, come over here and take a group photo! Who knows when we'll be able to meet again!"

"Okay!" Lana wiped away her tears and ran over alongside Lillie.

Everyone gathered together with their Pokémon and stood in a row. Hu Yang and Kukui, the two tallest people, stood behind the children.

They asked a teacher from next door to help take the picture.

Holding the camera, the teacher kept giving directions. "Ash, move a little farther to the left!"

"Lillie, don't be so nervous. Relax!"

"Kiawe, don't look so serious. Smile!"

"Sophocles, you don't need to stand on tiptoe. You'll fit in the frame."

"Look at Lana and Mallow. There, that's it!"

"Alright, then. One, two, three, Alola!"

Everyone: "Alola!"

With a click, the moment was frozen in time. Everyone in the photograph wore a smile.

"Thank you!"

Hu Yang thanked the teacher, took the camera back,
