"Uh… this is your back honorarium for acting as an honorary member of the G Men?" he said, a little confused. Max asked if Lance was Lance's first name, last name, or only name, and as they wondered about that Ash opened the first envelope. "Oh, Ash, before I forget, there's some letters for you," Delia added. "That's not the usual way of doing things," Max observed. I ran away from the circus to join a home." " I'm actually technically in hiding from the circus," Mimey said. "But you haven't introduced me to your friends. "And I remember you from last time, Brock," she added. Pikachu flicked his ears happily, jumping down from Ash's shoulder onto the table. "Look at you, my three-times Pokémon League champion! And Pikachu, of course!" "It's lovely to see you, dear," Delia said, giving Ash a hug. The second time it was solid to dust and only dust, and Mimey compacted the result down into a sort of marble before brushing it out the door. It spread out to encompass the entire room, completely permeable to matter, then compressed back down again. "Mimey, would you be a dear and clean up?" "Oh, it looks like Ash and his friends are on the way," she said.

In the Ketchum household, Delia looked up. Terracotta Contest, Whitney catches up with Ash and asks to go with him to wherever it is he's going next (it's Sinnoh) Brandon battle, Brandon's team is entirely Legendary Then they find the temple very quickly because Ash/King Dragonite can provide an entire squadron of Dragonite for transportation (the Royal Air Force, naturally) Temple of the Sea, where they get hold of Manaphy's Egg and then Celebi yoinks it into the past. Brandon says there's a couple of Pokemon he'd like to pick up to give Ash a true challenge Brandon says Ho-Oh is sealed here, Ho-Oh corrects him that, no, actually the King's the one who's sealed here. Pokemon Orienteering, which Lucario uses as a good opportunity for Ash to do some training. then May is sent back in time to help with a thing, and gets Manaphy as well as Eevee hatching. Then Brock gets a Bonsly (whose disguise is sufficiently good as to count as Grass type) they met a Celebi, who thanks May for helping. Ash's Pidgey gains a Pidgeotite and basically works on Digimon mechanics now Sandakis, which is mentioned to be dirty Suicune promptly purifies it in the middle of the conversation. giant Caterpie stuff, basically this involves Zacian going ".okay I'd feel bad using Behemoth Blade on this guy" So when Hoopa sends in mass Legendary reinforcements it just turns into The Laff-A-Lympics Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon has the guy successfully convince them to get the data from Pikachu, then the "Mastermind" shows up to steal the system except that when it creates virtual Legendaries they're based on Pikachu's knowledge. Nolan uses Articuno, Ash also uses Articuno net result: Lucario moves in at Oak Ranch because I mean if you're going to suffer cultural shock you may as well do it around a scientist(Ash does not catch Lucario, but Lucario is to stay at the Oak Lab, along with the Crystal Onix who likes it there now.) also Lucario finds the time flower thing and learns what Aaron actually did tree is fixed essentially by Lucario healing it with Aura and Xerneas keeping Lucario charged up, Xerneas feels this is much easier than normal Mew is here, teleport, that was easy, says hi to the other Mew here

Zygarde goes beep boop woof oh yeah there it is, we need to get inside the tree of beginning I think

Absol announces her presence with an AAAH, says there's a possible disaster brewing poor Lucario is totally out of his depth at this point Lucario mentions that he can tell Ash has Aura, Mew literally teleports in to comment on that and that that means Ash can learn moves when he's not a Pokemon It takes a couple of minutes for everyone to realize Lucario isn't surprised they can understand him, and then Vulpix turns off her translation hypnosis and everyone can still understand him Lokoko goes "okay, look, come with me we are going to commiserate about being abandoned" when Ash meets up with him again, Ash inspects the staff and it goes Sudden Lucario Brock wins the tournament (Ash didn't enter because he got lost in the palace, though he did find some really cool clothes)
