• Mega Aggron struck Slaking during training, and Ye Qing reviewed his Pokémon’s growth before deciding to leave for Jirachi’s awakening.

• Ye Qing examined the base’s records, noticed that a third of its staff had been replaced, and concluded that Team R was racing to find Jirachi.

• Dragon Tamer arranged to transfer Su Qi and key staff members away under secret surveillance, and Su Qi left after exchanging taunts with Ye Qing.
• Dragon Tamer and his team removed the remaining original personnel, then asked Ye Qing where Jirachi would awaken; Ye Qing said he did not know because the terrain had changed over the past thousand years.

Ye Qing and the Dragon Tamer searched for Jirachi’s missing crystal but concluded someone had taken it, so Ye Qing resumed his Battle Frontier journey and set out to seek advice on training Milotic. Meanwhile, Silver searched for Manaphy, believing she could lead him to the Lost World and help him grow strong enough to defeat Ye Qing.

• Ye Qing agreed with the Dragon Tamer to claim one of Jirachi’s three wishes while the League secretly investigated Su Qi and his associates.
• The Dragon Tamer and Ye Qing searched for Jirachi’s crystal alongside Team R, but found no trace of it and realized someone had taken it long ago.

• Ye Qing assigned Third Brother to watch for news about Jirachi, recalled Giant Dragonite the next morning, and flew toward a Battle Tower in the Caribbean Sea.
• Silver ordered his people to search for Manaphy, hoping to find the Lost World and use its ancient Pokémon as a source of money and training.
• Silver declared that he intended to become stronger and eventually defeat Ye Qing.

• Ye Qing left Garchomp outside to stand guard and entered the Battle Tower with Gardevoir.

• Levis revealed that the unusual Pokémon Egg was Manaphy's and described the People of the Water, the Water Palace, and a rumored lost world of extinct Ancient Pokémon.
• Ye Qing weighed the risks, then agreed to help Levis and presented himself as acting on behalf of Mewtwo and Mew.
• One-Eye learned that Levis had escaped and that Team R had entered the pirates' waters, so he ordered his men to disguise their search for Manaphy.
• Levis assured Ye Qing that the island was protected by the Battle Frontier, then offered to advise him about Milotic.

Ye Qing learned Li Weisi’s defensive Aqua Ring training method and practiced it with his Milotic for a week. As Manaphy’s egg remained unhatched and hostile factions gathered nearby, Li Weisi warned Ye Qing not to join his mission, but Ye Qing insisted on going and asked to see the egg.

• Li Weisi showed Ye Qing how his Shiny Milotic, Xiaomei, used Aqua Ring to form a jellylike barrier that reduced the force of attacks.
• Ye Qing and his Milotic trained in Aqua Ring alongside Xiaomei, making some progress after a week.

• Ye Qing held Manaphy's egg, and it absorbed energy from his Mew Mark before hatching in his arms.
• Manaphy bonded with Ye Qing and cried when Li Weisi tried to hold it, while Li Weisi warned that Team R had entered the surrounding waters.

• Ye Qing and Li Weisi prepared diving gear and escaped the island underwater with their Pokémon, keeping Manaphy close as it swam in the ocean for the first time.

• Li Weisi Mega Evolved Swampert, while Ye Qing used Mega Evolution and Bond Phenomenon to fight back with his Pokémon.
• The six pirate leaders surrounded Ye Qing and Li Weisi with their powerful Pokémon, and Li Weisi asked Ye Qing whether they should fight; Ye Qing agreed.

Ye Qing and Li Weisi escaped the pirates by using Manaphy to swap Mega Salamence’s consciousness with Gengar’s, then fled into the sea to help Manaphy locate the Water Palace. As the pirates closed in, Li Weisi stayed behind to hold them off while Ye Qing pressed on, but One-Eye pursued him and Fearow attacked from above.

• Ye Qing had Manaphy swap Mega Salamence’s consciousness with Gengar’s, causing Mega Salamence to fire a Hyper Beam at the pirate army and knock Mega Alakazam from the sky.
• Ye Qing and Li Weisi used the opening to escape, but Gardevoir was too exhausted to use Teleport again and Manaphy could not locate the Water Palace on land.
• Ye Qing and Li Weisi released their Milotic and entered the ocean, while Manaphy rallied nearby Pokémon to slow the pirates pursuing them.
• As the pirates broke through the blockade in a storm, Li Weisi turned back to hold them off while Ye Qing continued toward the Water Palace with Manaphy.
• One-Eye left the others to pursue Ye Qing, and several Fearow folded their wings and dived at him.

Ye Qing and Milotic protected Manaphy while fleeing One-Eye’s pirates, who forced them underwater and closed in on the Water Palace. Milotic sacrificed herself to hold off One-Eye, hoping Ye Qing could get Manaphy to the palace in time to save her.

• Ye Qing ordered Milotic to protect Manaphy from a surprise attack by Fearow, and she knocked the bird away with Iron Tail and Aqua Tail.
• Li Weisi held off the pirate leaders with his Mega Pokémon, but they gradually defeated his team until only Mega Swampert remained.

• Manaphy told Ye Qing they were close to the Water Palace, where it could gain the authority of the Prince of the Sea by wearing the crown.
• Milotic pushed Ye Qing and Manaphy away, then charged at Gyarados and Mega Sharpedo to buy them time.
• Milotic’s voice reached Ye Qing’s heart, and he understood that she was counting on him to get Manaphy to the Water Palace so it could save her if she survived.

Ye Qing and Manaphy entered the Water Palace to retrieve its crown and save Milotic, while Milotic was left near death after holding off One-Eye’s Pokémon. Silver’s group intercepted Ye Qing in the palace’s grand hall, and One-Eye followed behind them.

• Manaphy raised the Water Palace from the seabed and led Ye Qing through its Water Veil and into the palace.
• Milotic repeatedly recovered and fought off Mega Sharpedo and Gyarados, but One-Eye left Gyarados to finish her while pursuing Ye Qing with Mega Sharpedo.
• Gyarados became infatuated with the dying Milotic and swam away without attacking her further.
• Manaphy found the golden crown in the grand hall, but Silver’s Mega Tyranitar attacked; Gardevoir and Mega Aggron countered as Silver’s group surrounded Ye Qing.
• One-Eye arrived at the palace and followed Silver’s group inside.
