Chapter 41 - 41- Epilogue

After the day the two-week festival had ended, everyone was helping each other to clean and rebuild their city. Almost everyone was in full cooperation with each other. Others help clean the debris and broken parts. Others fix the damaged parts of the buildings, while others gave them aid. Lucas, Rosario, Campillo, and Lunick are helping the city folks on their buildings and houses and giving them aid and medicine. Solana, meanwhile, was helping Nurse Joy in her line of work in the Pokémon Center, along with her Pokémon.

And as they helped each other, Rico and his Pokémon are climbing a mountain that overlooks the city from above. And then, while resting, Rico pointed his Pokédex towards Riolu. His Pokédex then responded, "Riolu, the Emanation Pokémon. A Fighting-type. Its body is little yet powerful. It can crest three mountains and cross two canyons in one night."

"Wow, that's awesome and amazing," Rico calmly commented upon hearing this. He then put down his Pokédex and put it back in his shoulder bag. After that, he looked towards the top that offers a view of the city as the sun rises over the horizon. He then stand up and looked towards it, along with his Pokémon, as the winds blow through the scene.

"Someday," he thought in serious coolness, "I will meet people, catch new Pokémon, and explore the world. I will, someday."

Meanwhile in the same time, Blue Ninja arrived at his house in Pallet Town, Kanto Region. And as he entered the house, his mother greeted him, "Oh, hi, Ash, how's your trip?" Taking off his mask, Ash answered her, "Yes, it's going well, mom." His Pikachu then responded in happiness. And so, this kid will be Rico's new companion, teacher, and ally. Someday, in the future.
