Chapter Summaries

Ye Qing accidentally hatched Manaphy when the egg absorbed energy from his Mew Mark, and the newborn bonded closely with him. After Manaphy learned to use its abilities, Ye Qing and Li Weisi fled underwater to evade Team R, which had entered the area seeking Manaphy.

• 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 agreed to wait while Manaphy adjusted to its body, and Manaphy later used its powers to swap Infernape's and Garchomp's bodies.
• 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.

Ye Qing and Li Weisi fled through the sky with Manaphy as rival pirate factions pursued them, drawn by Manaphy’s ability and the promise of treasure. After fighting off the pirates’ forces, they faced six faction leaders and their powerful Pokémon, and Ye Qing agreed to fight.

• Ye Qing and Li Weisi surfaced and fled by air on Garchomp and Pidgeot as pirate factions pursued them.
• Diancie used Diamond Storm to rout the first group of pirate pursuers, but the pirate leaders offered bounties for Ye Qing, Li Weisi, and Manaphy, drawing in elite fighters.
• 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 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.

Ye Qing secured the Sea Crown for Manaphy, who used her new authority to locate and rescue Milotic and Li Weisi. After Milotic recovered enough to reassure him, Ye Qing set out to find the Lost World and avenge her, learning that a mural in the Water Palace might point the way.

• Ye Qing used Manaphy’s consciousness-swapping power to take the Sea Crown from One-Eye and place it on Manaphy’s head while Mega Diancie fought Team R.
• Silver fled, and One-Eye escaped with Teleport after Mega Diancie’s Diamond Storm struck him and Mega Sharpedo.
• Manaphy used the ocean’s Pokémon to find and bring back the badly injured Milotic and Li Weisi, then fell asleep in Ye Qing’s arms.
• Ye Qing had Gardevoir treat Milotic and Li Weisi, and Milotic reassured him before he recalled her to her Poké Ball.
• Ye Qing asked Li Weisi about the Lost World and declared that he would repay the debt to Milotic; Li Weisi said a Water Palace mural concerned the Lost World.

Ye Qing pursued Silver and One-Eye through the palace, intent on taking revenge, while Silver found the Lost World mural and sent its coordinates to headquarters. Ye Qing found the mural destroyed and was left weighing whether to follow the others into a possible trap.

• Ye Qing set off after Silver and his companions with his Pokémon, following Garchomp’s scent trail despite Li Weisi warning him of the danger.
• Ye Qing examined a mural of Lugia, then continued searching for a Kyogre mural but found none.
• Silver reached the Lost World mural, photographed it, destroyed its crucial details, and identified the location as the Whirl Islands.
• One-Eye found the mural ruined, chose to keep following Silver, and used his tracker to summon his underlings for protection.
• Silver told Zou Buyu to send the coordinates to headquarters and have others go to the Lost World while they drew their pursuers away.
• Ye Qing arrived at the destroyed mural and worried that following Silver or One-Eye could lead him into a trap, especially with Manaphy still unconscious and Diancie unable to fight underwater.

Ye Qing pursued One-Eye through the sea, using Mantine and its Remoraid companions to catch up before One-Eye's underlings arrived. He released and Mega Evolved Garchomp to attack, and One-Eye responded by sending Gyarados to block it and Mega Evolving Sharpedo.

• Ye Qing recruited Mantine as a mount, then recalled Garchomp after it warned that it could not track their target underwater.

Cynthia told the Dragon Tamer that ancient records suggested Ye Qing may have encountered Jirachi a thousand years ago, raising questions about his offer to help find it. Meanwhile, Ye Qing defeated One-Eye and brought down Salamence, while Silver chose to head for the Lost World rather than confront him.

• Cynthia showed the Dragon Tamer historical records linking Ye Qing to a Jirachi encounter a thousand years earlier, and the Dragon Tamer realized Ye Qing might have misled him about needing only one wish.
• Cynthia explained that the records about Jirachi's sleeping place were incomplete and said they would continue searching before deciding what to do.
• Ye Qing pursued One-Eye on Mega Salamence and had Mega Diancie blast One-Eye into a cloud of bloody mist with Diamond Storm.
• Salamence fled after reverting from Mega Evolution, but Ye Qing had Slaking throw Mega Garchomp into the air, where Garchomp struck Salamence down into the sea.
• Silver watched the battle from a distance and decided to go to the Lost World instead of challenging Ye Qing.

Ye Qing caught the female Salamence after confirming she had not been involved in the attack on Milotic and had little loyalty to her former master. After Manaphy awakened, Ye Qing persuaded it that the Lost World's treasures belonged to it, and Manaphy began guiding him there.
