Windswept City.
Not long after Ash and Brock left, Arcanine returned with Old Lady Jade.
Old Lady Jade had indeed seen Snubbull's soul, but it soon faded away.
Snubbull had held on for so long because of the hope of seeing Old Lady Jade one more time.
Having seen Old Lady Jade again and fulfilled that wish, Snubbull faded away.

After saying goodbye to Lorelei, Li Wei and Dawn rode Corviknight and Metagross back to the airport.
Lorelei planned to stay another day, waiting until the two Rangers arrived at Back Mountain to go over the details with them.

"Yes, Teacher!"
