Ch. 561The end is also the beginning (Finale)
Four years after marrying Cynthia, Chen Shi saw Gary and Ash off as they began their Pokémon journeys in Kanto. After Celebi took Xiao Xi and Greninja through a space-time tunnel, Chen Shi and Cynthia were left alone together.
- Gary visited Professor Oak's Laboratory to collect his starter Pokémon and set out on his journey, while Xiao Xi asked to go with him.
- Chen Shi sent Dragapult to wake the late-rising Ash, who discovered that Professor Oak's starter Pokémon had all been taken.
- Chen Shi reassured Cynthia that Professor Oak had a plan for Ash, and they waited with Xiao Xi near Pallet Town's exit.
- Gary thanked Chen Shi for his guidance and left, hoping to become a great Pokémon Professor.
- Ash left with Pikachu, promised Chen Shi he would challenge him someday, and endured Pikachu's electric attack without giving up.
- Celebi arrived and took Xiao Xi and Greninja through a space-time tunnel, leaving Chen Shi and Cynthia together.
