Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Pokemon Kids! Even though it was a slow chapter, we got a new favorite, so thanks ChipmunkOfOz! When I read this chapter a while back, it was instantly one of my favorites of the series so far. And I bet it will be your favorite one as well. But enough patting Noah's back, let's get to the story!
Narrator: Today, Ash, Pikachu, and their friends were talking about which Bible Character was their favorite as they headed off to Praise Town. And see the new baby as Delia talked about. As they talked about that, it was starting to get dark and they were about to go off to DreamLand.
Serena: Who's your favorite Bible Character, Ash?
Ash: Hmm… I say David the Shepherd King.
Pikachu: Oh yeah?
Ash's Charmander: Why's that?
Ash: Because he praised the Lord from his heart and he killed Goliath the Philistine Giant. What about you, Serena?
Serena: My favorite character is Queen Esther.
Fennekin: Yeah? How come?
Serena: Because she saved the Jews and begged King Xerxes to spare her and her family's lives. She's also really beautiful.
Marina: Who's your favorite character, Misty?
Misty: Jonah the Minor Prophet.
Horsea: Oh?
Misty: If you're wondering why Jonah's my favorite, that's because he was inside the belly of a whale. But God gave the prophet a second chance.
Brock: My favorite Bible hero is Jacob.
Tabitha: Really?
Brock: Really. That's because he received the blessing of God from his father, Isaac. How bout you, Tabitha?
Tabitha: Deborah's my favorite character because she is the judge of Israel.
Misty: What about you, Tracey?
Tracey: Hmm… I'd say, Ezekiel.
Daisy: Oh yeah?
Tracey: Yeah, and this is because he saw a vision of the Valley of Dry Bones. He also commanded the skeletons to live. (to May) Who's your favorite, May? You too, Max.
May: Me and Max? Hmm… Hannah is my favorite because she loves her baby boy, Samuel, and Max's favorite is Samuel because he heard God calling his name three times in one night.
Max: Yeah!
April: Dawn, how about you? Which Bible Character is your favorite?
Dawn: Miriam.
Piplup: Why's that?
Dawn: Because she danced for the Lord after crossing the Red Sea.
Iris: Wanna know my favorite Bible Character?
Dennis: Sure, go ahead.
Iris: It's Naaman.
Axew: Why pick Naaman?
Iris: Because he was told to dunk himself in the muddy Jordan River seven times and he believes Israel's God is the true God.
Cilan: My favorite character is Boaz. Because he left extra grain and wheat for Ruth. How about you, Clemont?
Clemont: King Solomon is my favorite Bible Character.
Serena: How so?
Clemont: Because he asked God for wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong.
Shinx: Amazing!
Serena: What about you, Bonnie?
Bonnie: Elizabeth.
Serena: Elizabeth?
Ash: I think she's talking about the mother of John the Baptist.
Serena: Oh, I see. You like Elizabeth because she longs for a child and she did, right?
Bonnie: (nods) Yeah.
Sawyer: Who's yer favorite, Kiawe?
Kiawe: I would say… Samson!
Kiawe's Charmander: Really?
Sawyer: Why's that?
Kiawe: Because he is the strongest man who fought the Philistines. (flexes his muscles while doing various poses)
Nancy: Lillie? Gladion? Which Bible Characters are your favorites?
Lillie: Lydia.
Gladion: Gideon.
Snowy: Why do you say that?
Lillipup: Why is that, Gladion?
Lillie: Because, Snowy, Lydia is a seller of purple cloth who loved God, but didn't know who Jesus is. Until Paul and Silas told her the good news that Jesus did for everyone.
Gladion: Gideon is my favorite because he was the leader of three hundred men to stop the Midianites.
Pepper: Which character do you like best, Mallow?
Mallow: Um… Anna the Prophetess.
Shaymin: Who's that, Mallow?
Bounsweet: Why Anna?
Mallow: Because she said that Jesus is God's Son and the Savior of the world.
Kia: How about you, Sophocles? Do you have a favorite?
Sophocles: (scratches his chin) Hmm… Nehemiah.
Togedemaru: Why's that, Soffy?
Sophocles: Because he prayed to God for some help to rebuild the Walls of Jerusalem.
Zuma: Who's your favorite, Lana?
Lana: Noah.
Popplio: Because of his role in building the Ark?
Lana: Uh-huh.
Sonny: Goh, Chloe?
Goh: Moses is my favorite. Cause he helped save the Hebrews from slavery.
Chloe: Rahab would be my fave. Because she hid two spies on her roof in Jericho.
Daisy: How bout you, little brother?
Gary: Joshua. Because he was told by God to capture the City of Jericho.
As they continued walking, they saw a sign that said Joseph's Dream Camp.
Serena: Think we should stop here?
Donzelle: I don't see why not. It's starting to get dark.
Daisy: You're right.
Sophocles: I hope we hurry.
Goh: Lemme guess - you're hungry?
Sophocles: (defensively) No. (pause) Well, maybe just a little.
Sophocles blushed with embarrassment. He didn't want anyone to know that he was scared of the dark. Fortunately for him, Togedemaru was the only one who knew and she promised not to tell anyone.
Goh: What's gotten into him, Chloe?
Chloe: (shrugs) I have no idea.
Tracey: Maybe we shouldn't press the issue.
Marill: Good idea.
Kia: Let's go, kids.
Mallow: Right behind ya!
With that, the kids, Pokémon, and babysitters headed into Joseph's Dream Camp. When they got to the entrance they saw a 17-year-old teenager with black spiky hair with a coat of many colors. He greeted them with a friendly smile.
Young Man: Hello, and welcome to my family's Dream Camp. My name is Joseph and me and my family run this place. You must be very tired from all that traveling, haven't you?
Ash: You bet.
Serena: Absolutely.
Pikachu: My feet are tired from all that walking.
Fennekin: Mine too.
Ash's Charmander: You said it.
Joseph: Did your Pokémon just talk, little boy?
Ash: Actually, yes.
Pikachu: Jesus blessed me by giving me the ability to talk about the good news. But I'm not the only one who can talk like a human.
The other Pokémon nodded in agreement and showed Joseph that they too could talk.
Joseph: Well I never. Anyway, come on in, everyone.
Daisy: Thank you.
Joseph led the group inside the camp and showed them to their sleeping spots. One for the kids and one for the babysitters.
Sophocles: Thank you, Mr. Joseph.
Joseph: You're welcome, Sophocles. I hope you're not afraid of the dark, as long as the Lord is with you.
When the little boy heard that, he realized that Joseph was right.
Sophocles: Oh yeah. Right.
Kiawe: C'mon, Sophocles, let's get our pajamas on.
Sophocles: O-Okay. Right behind ya.
Togedemaru: Don't worry, Soffy. Why don't you ask God to help you? He will take care of you.
Sophocles thought about it.
Sophocles: You know, you're right. I will ask God to help me. Thanks for being there with me.
Togedemaru: You're welcome, Soffy.
With that, the kids and the babysitters were in their pajamas sitting by the campfire.
Ash: (eating a s'more) Boy, these s'mores sure taste good.
Serena: (eating a s'more) Mmm, you said it, Ash.
May and Clemont could be seen helping Max and Bonnie to eat their s'mores.
May: Open wide, baby brother.
Clemont: You too, baby sister.
Max: Yum!
Bonnie: Yummy!
Jasper: (strumming his guitar) What a beautiful night for star-gazing.
Dennis: You said it, Jasper! (sighs)
Iris: I'm glad God has made the stars. They're so pretty.
Dawn: Yeah.
Ash: Y'know, my dream is to become a Pokémon Master.
Cilan: I hope my dream of becoming an S-class Pokémon Connoisseur comes true.
Serena: I hope God has plans for my dancing life.
Ash: I'm sure He does.
Mallow: I hope our dreams will come true too. Right, gang?
Bounsweet: Oh I'm sure it will.
Shaymin: Yeah, me too.
Misty: Ours too. Isn't that right, girls?
Lana: You said it, honorary sister. (winks)
Daisy: (yawns) Well, it's getting late. Let's catch some Zs.
Piplup: (yawns) Yeah. Good idea.
Buneary: I'm getting kinda sleepy myself. Let's go.
Dawn: (giggles) Okay.
Togedemaru: C'mon, Soffy. Time for bed.
Sophocles: Oh yeah. Right.
Soon, everyone had their teeth brushed and they were inside their tents, ready for bed. But before they could close their eyes, they had to say their prayers.
Ash: Dear Jesus, thank you for being with us on our travels through this region and for teaching us valuable things from your Words of Life. Please keep us safe through the night and give us a joyous day tomorrow. In Your Name, we pray, amen.
Pikachu and Charmander: Amen.
Other Kids and Pokémon: Amen.
Daisy: Dear Lord, thank you for taking such good care of us and the children on our travels in the Shlomlite Region. Also, please give us sweet dreams, and so we can continue our journey. In Your Name, we pray, amen.
Other Babysitters: Amen.
And sure enough, everyone was fast asleep. As the kids and their Pokémon were in their sleeping bags, they were about to go on an incredible journey. In their dreams.
Ash was shown riding Charmander who had evolved into a Charizard, with Pikachu riding on Charizard's head. Ash was still asleep on Charizard's back when heard someone calling his name.
Voice: Ash… Ash… Wake up, my boy.
Ash: (stirs) Huh? I know that voice. (looks around)
Then he looks to see the Earth was more beautiful than last time. She was surrounded by light and was happy.
Earth: Remember me, Ash?
Ash: Earth! You're okay! And you look more beautiful than the last time I saw you back home in the Kanto Region.
Earth: Yes. And I see you made some new friends.
Pikachu: Wow!
Ash: Yeah. That's Pikachu, and… (realizes he's riding on Charizard) Charmander? Is that you?
Charizard: Yeah, little buddy. It's me.
Pikachu: You're right, Ash. Earth is beautiful. But… Where are we?
Ash: I think we're in Heaven. Are we, Earth?
Pikachu: Heaven? Have we… (gulps) Died?
Earth: (chuckles) No, Pikachu. You're just dreaming. And yes, Ash. It is Heaven. A New Heaven and a new me.
Charizard: New you? What is she talking about, Ash?
Ash: Kind of a long story.
Earth: Ash, do you remember when I told you about God making me more beautiful than the last time?
Ash: I think so. Why?
Earth: Well, this is the new creation I was talking about.
Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard: Wow…
Charizard: But I haven't evolved yet… Or have I?
Earth: (chuckles) Don't worry. You'll become a Charizard someday, Charmander. And you, Ash, and Pikachu will make some more friends along the way.
As Earth said this, images of other Pokémon appeared. One was a Treecko who changed from a Grovyle, and into a Sceptile. Another was a Chimchar, who changed into a Monferno and an Infernape. Another was a Sandile, who became a Krokorok, and then a Krookodile. Another was a Froakie, who became a Frogadier, and then a Greninja. Another was a Rockruff who became a Lycanroc in Dusk form. Yet another was a Meltan who became a Melmetal. Then came a Riolu who became a Lucario.
Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard looked at all the Pokémon showing up.
Charizard: Whoa…
Pikachu: Who are they?
Ash: Earth, are they all Pokémon that I'll meet someday?
Earth: That's right, young man. Also, your friends on your journey are in the same dream you're having right now.
Ash: Whoa. Really? Including Serena, Brock, Gary, and the others?
Earth: Yes. (laughs) Come on out, children. Your friend is with me.
The first of Ash's friends to appear was Serena. She had a Delphox with her, along with a Pancham, a Sylveon, an Absol, an Altaria, and a Clefable.
Ash: Serena! Is that you and Fennekin?
Serena: Hello, Ash. Yes, it's me! Fennekin just dream-evolved into Delphox.
Pikachu: Wow!
One of Ash's dream Pokémon, Greninja, made his way toward Delphox, bowing to her.
Greninja: How do you do?
Delphox blushed a bit and smiled.
Delphox: I am doing well, thank you very much.
Ash: Wait, are you Greninja?
Greninja: I am. And I look forward to meeting you someday, Ash.
Ash: Amazing…
Just then, Misty, Brock, and Tracey came into view. Misty had Horsea, Starmie, Goldeen, Golduck, Politoed, Corsola, Gyarados, and a Marill with her.
With Brock was a Steelix, Vulpix, Geodude, Sudowoodo, Croagunk, Blissey, and Comfey.
And Tracey had his Marill, along with a Venonat and a Scyther with him.
Ash: Hey guys! Nice to meet your dream Pokémon, too.
Brock: Hey, Ash. Who would've thought that my Onix would become Steelix?
Misty: Or that I'd get a Gyarados.
Serena: But didn't you tell us you were afraid of Gyarados, Misty?
Misty: In the real world. But I guess I'll somehow get over my fear of Gyarados in the future?
Earth: Indeed you will, young lady.
Then, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, and Bonnie came by.
May had a Blaziken (likely Torchic fully evolved), Skitty, a Beautifly, an Altaria, a Venusaur, a Munchlax, a Wartortle, a Glaceon, with a Ralts hanging with Max.
Dawn had Piplup, Buneary, a Pachirisu, an Ambipom, a Mamoswine, a Quilava, and a Togekiss.
Iris had a Haxorus (likely Axew fully evolved), a Druddigon, a Dragonite, a Garchomp, a Hydreigon, and a Goodra.
Cilan had a Simisage (likely Pansage fully evolved), a Crustle (likely Dwebble fully evolved), and a Stunfisk.
And Clemont had a Luxray (likely Shinx fully evolved), a Helioptile, a Magnezone, and a Manectric, with a Dedenne hanging with Bonnie.
Ash: You guys, you came too.
Serena: This is amazing! Do you all have dream Pokémon too?
May: It looks that way. Guess my Torchic is destined to become a strong Blaziken.
Iris: And Axew will become a Haxorus. Isn't that great?
Haxorus: Yeah, girl!
Then Ash saw that his Charizard and some of the other dream Pokémon had strange stones with them. Serena's Absol had one, Misty's Gyarados had one, Brock's Steelix had one, Clemont's Manectric had one, and even May's Blaziken had one.
Ash: Excuse me, Earth, what are those things?
Earth: They are called Mega Stones. Working with Key Stones, they will allow your Pokémon to achieve forms beyond regular evolution. Called Mega Evolution.
As Earth said this, Ash's Charizard changed into a form called Mega Charizard X. Then Serena's Absol became Mega Absol, Misty's Gyarados became a Mega Gyarados, Brock's Steelix became a Mega Steelix, May's Blaziken became a Mega Blaziken, and Clemont's Manectric became Mega Manectric.
Mega Charizard X: Whoa… This is amazing!
Ash: Charizard! You look different.
Earth: Mega Evolution is known to do that. And your Charizard won't be the only Pokémon you have to be able to do that.
Ash's dream Lucario becomes a Mega Lucario.
Earth: And some Pokémon can change form without Mega Evolving, with a process called Bond Phenomenon.
Ash's dream Greninja changes into a form similar to Ash himself. Ash was surprised!
Ash: Greninja?
Ash-Greninja: Just call me "Ash-Greninja". (chuckles before striking a pose)
Mega Charizard X: Huh. I wonder if Kiawe's Charmander will be able to do something like this?
Ash heard some voices and it was the Alola Kids.
Lana had a Primarina (likely her Popplio fully evolved), along with a Lapras with riding gear, and a Vaporeon.
Kiawe had a Charizard with riding gear and a Mega Stone different from Ash's, a Turtonator, an Alolan Marowak, a Flareon, an Arcanine, and a Magmar.
Mallow had a Tsareena (likely her Bounsweet fully evolved), Shaymin, a Flygon with riding gear, a Shiinotic, a Leafeon, and a Phantump.
Sophocles had Togedemaru, a Metang with riding gear, a Vikavolt, an Alolan Geodude, and a Jolteon.
Lillie had Snowy, a Clefairy, a Comfey, a Ribombee, an Altaria with riding gear, and Magearna.
Finally, Gladion had a shiny Umbreon, a Lycanroc in midnight form, Zoroark, Houndoom with a Mega Stone, a Noivern with riding gear, and a Pokémon that appeared to be a mix of various other Pokémon.
Ash: Mallow, Lillie, and the rest of you. You've come to see us.
Serena: And look at your dream Pokémon. They're amazing!
Just then, Ash saw Pikachu holding a yellow crystal along with the dream Pokémon had other colorful crystals as well.
Ash: Wow… What're these things?
Pikachu: I don't know.
Kiawe: I know what they are. They're Z-Crystals, items you can get when you participate in the Alola island challenge.
Earth: Yes, Kiawe. And what your Pikachu has, Ash is what will be known as a Pikashunium Z.
Ash: Wow. Do I gain other Z-Crystals in the future?
Earth: Exactly.
When Earth finished talking about Z-Crystals, Gary, Goh, and Chloe appeared out of the blue.
Gary had his Umbreon, along with a Blastoise with a Mega Stone, a Nidoking, an Arcanine, an Electivire, and a Tyranitar.
Goh had a Cinderace (likely his Scorbunny fully evolved), an Inteleon, a Heracross and a Pinsir holding hands, a Scizor, and a Flygon.
Chloe had Eevee, a Yamper, and a Galarian Rapidash.
Gary: Wow, Ash, you got dream Pokémon, too! Check out my dream team.
Gary's dream Blastoise Mega Evolves into Mega Blastoise before striking a pose.
Mega Blastoise: Oh yeah!
Goh: You think that's something? Check this out.
Goh shows he's wearing something white on his left wrist before returning Cinderace to his Poké Ball. Then it expands before Goh lets out Cinderace again, who appears to grow and change form.
Gigantamax Cinderace: Oh yeah! I'm feelin' it!
Lillie: Wow!
Mallow: What is that?
Sophocles: I don't know.
Earth: That is Gigantamaxing, a phenomenon that takes place only in the Galar region. And other Pokémon are capable of doing it too.
Then Ash saw his dream Melmetal going through the same process, becoming Gigantamax Melmetal.
Gigantamax Melmetal: (flexes muscles) YEAH!
Just then, Tabitha appeared in front of Brock. She had Chespin, an Audino with a Mega Stone, an Alolan Raichu, a Mr. Rime, and a Rapidash.
Brock: Wow, Tabitha! Look at all the dream Pokémon you have.
Tabitha: I know. And you have some dream Pokémon, too. Isn't it amazing?
Ash: It looks like everyone's here! For what?
Serena: Yeah, what's going on?
Goh: (sees the strange mix-and-match Pokémon on Gladion's side) And what kind of Pokémon is that?
Earth: Calm yourselves, children.
Ash: (calming down) Yes, Earth.
As soon as everyone calmed down, Earth began to speak to them all.
Earth: You are probably wondering what that Pokémon is. Aren't you?
Serena: Yes.
Earth: It is called Silvally. Or will be called Silvally when Gladion meets it.
Gladion: I will?
Earth: Yes. It and two others like it will be created by scientists working for your mother's company, the Aether Foundation.
Goh: Wow…
Earth: Now that you're all here, my Creator wants to see you. Come on in. It's right through the Gates of Pearls.
They all looked to see the Gates of Pearls opening.
Ash: Come on, everybody! Let's go in!
Pikachu: I'm with you, buddy!
Serena: So am I.
And so, the children and their Pokémon, dream Pokémon included, walked through the gates. When they got in, they were astonished! There were angels, heroes of the Bible, and people who passed away.
Mallow: Mama, hi! (waves)
Mallow's mother: (smiles) Hello, honey.
From out of the blue came a large Archangel with a golden sash with a flaming sword. He also had brown hair and a halo hovering over his head.
Archangel: Hello, children. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven. My name is Michael the Head Archangel.
Ash: H-H-Hello, sir.
Michael: It's alright, little boy.
Ash: Oh, okay then. May I ask why we were brought here?
Michael: (smiles) Because God is giving you plans for your lives. Especially you, Sophocles.
Sophocles: (surprised) M-M-Me?
Michael: That's right. But we'll be in the Throne Room in 15 minutes. Anyhow, why don't you look around and have fun meeting God's heroes and heroines?
Serena: How about it, Ash? Shall we?
Ash: (looks around) Well, why not? Might as well. Besides, this oughta be fun. Let's go, everyone!
So the kids and their Pokémon went off to meet their favorite Bible Heroes. Ash and Serena found the Shepherd King David and Queen Esther.
Ash: Hello, Your Majesty.
Serena: Hi, Your Highness.
David: Well, hello, children.
Esther: It's an honor to meet you, children of the Lord.
Ash: David, I love your faith story on how you defeated the giant Goliath with God's help.
David: Well, thank you, Ash.
Serena: And Esther, I love your faith story on how you saved God's people from Haman.
Esther: Thank you, my dear.
Pikachu: Wow, you two sure are faithful to God.
David: Thank you, little Pikachu.
As Misty, Brock, and Tracey continued walking, they met Jacob, Jonah, and Ezekiel.
Brock: Hello, Jacob.
Misty: Hiya, Jonah. (realizes what she said) Oh. (giggles) I rhymed.
Jonah chuckled at the young red-headed girl.
Tracey: Hello, Ezekiel. It's so good to meet you.
Ezekiel: (chuckles) The honor is mine, young Tracey.
Misty: Jonah, I love the part where the Lord gave you a second chance inside the belly of a blue whale.
Jonah: Well, thank you, my dear.
Brock: Jacob, I enjoyed your faith story on how you blessed your favorite son, Joseph's sons.
Jacob: Is that so?
Brock: Yes, sir.
Tracey: Mr. Ezekiel, I love the part where you told the bones to live in a dream.
Ezekiel: Well, thank you.
May, Max, Iris, and Dawn were strolling along when they saw Hannah, Samuel, Miriam, and Naaman and they ran up to greet them.
Hannah: (smiles) Well, hello, there.
May: Hi, are you Hannah? The Mother of Samuel?
Hannah: I am, indeed. And you're May, elder sister of Max, and daughter of Norman and Caroline, correct?
May: Yes, ma'am, I am. (giggles) Hey, that rhymes!
Both May and Hannah shared a chuckle at that.
May: Are you Samuel the Prophet?
Samuel: Yes, child.
May: Samuel, this is my baby brother, Max. He loves your faith story on how you heard God calling your name three times in one night.
Samuel: Well, your little brother has good taste. (chuckles)
Dawn: Hello, Miriam.
Miriam: (smiles) Well, hello to you, dear Dawn.
Dawn: Miriam, I love how you sang a praise song to the Lord on how the People of Israel were saved from the Pharaoh's hands.
Miriam: Well, thank you, Dawn. Do you know how the song goes?
Dawn: Of course, I do. "The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him." It's from Exodus 15, right?
Miriam: Right.
Iris: Hi there, Naaman.
Naaman: Hello, little Iris. you remind me of that little slave girl from Israel.
Iris: Really? I do?
Naaman: That's right, She told my wife that Elisha can cure me of my leprosy. So I dunked myself in the muddy Jordan River seven times and I believed in Israel's God.
Iris: Wow…
Cilan, Clemont, and Bonnie were walking as they saw Boaz and Elizabeth.
Clemont: Look, it's Boaz and Elizabeth.
Cilan: (awestruck) Wow!
Bonnie: Ooh…
Cilan: Hello, Boaz.
Boaz: Hello, young Cilan.
Cilan: I love your faith story on how you helped Ruth and Naomi.
Boaz: Well, thank you.
Clemont: Hey, where's Solomon?
Elizabeth: I'm afraid his heart turned away from God and began his life foolishly as an old man.
Clemont: Oh… I see. He was such a great king. But I can be wiser than Solomon, right?
Elizabeth: Perhaps. If you ask God.
Clemont: You must be Elizabeth the Mother of John the Baptist.
Elizabeth: That I am, Clemont.
Clemont: Elizabeth, this is my baby sister, Bonnie.
Elizabeth: (smiles) Hello, child.
Bonnie: Hi. (coos)
Elizabeth chuckles as she holds Bonnie in her arms.
Elizabeth: Why aren't you adorable?
Bonnie giggled. When the Alola Kids looked at the children playing with the animals God created, they saw Anna, Gideon, Samson, Lydia, Noah, and Nehemiah.
Mallow saw her mother interacting with Anna.
Mallow: Oh… My… Gosh.
Mallow's mother: Come on over, sweetie, and meet Anna.
Mallow: Hiya, Anna. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Anna: (smiles) The honor is mine, child. Your mother's told me much about you already.
Mallow: Really? Oh, I love how you became happy when you gave birth to John the Baptist.
Anna chuckled at Mallow's enthusiasm.
Gladion: Hello, Gideon.
Gideon: Hello to you as well, Gladion.
Gladion: I'm glad that you defeated the Midianites with 300 men and with some help from the Lord.
Gideon chuckled at this as Lillie went to Lydia.
Lillie: Hi, Ms. Lydia.
Lydia: (chuckles) No need to be formal with me, child. It's an honor to meet you.
Lillie: I'm glad that you decided to follow Jesus.
Lydia: Are you, now?
Lillie: Oh yes.
Kiawe: What's up, Samson?
Samson: (chuckles) Well, hello to you, young Kiawe.
Kiawe: I love your faith story on how you saved the boy who led you to the pillars, saving him from being killed, and how you defeated the Philistines.
Samson: It was nothing, really.
Lana: Hello, Mr. Noah.
Noah: (chuckles) Hello, Lana.
Lana: I love your faith story on how you built the Ark by following God's instructions and saving your family and the animals from the Great Flood.
Noah: (smiles) Well, thank you, my dear.
Sophocles: Hiya, Nehemiah.
Nehemiah: Hello, Sophocles.
Sophocles: I love your faith story on how you prayed to God for help to rebuild the Walls of Jerusalem.
Nehemiah: Thank you, young man.
As Gary and Tabitha were playing with the other children, they saw Joshua and Deborah.
Gary: Wow, it's Joshua.
Tabitha: And Deborah.
Gary: Let's go over and say hi.
Tabitha: Don't see why not.
They go over to Joshua and Deborah.
Gary: Hi there Joshua.
Joshua: Well, hello, young Gary. I hear from a reliable source that you began to believe in our Lord and Savior fairly recently.
Gary: I sure have and I love your faith story on how you fought the battle of Jericho.
Joshua: Ah yes, I remember it well.
Tabitha: Hi, Deborah.
Deborah: (smiles) Hello, Tabitha dear.
Tabitha: I love your faith story on how you helped Barak and the Israelites defeat the Canaanites.
Deborah: Well, thank you.
Just as Goh and Chloe were smelling the flowers, they saw Moses and Rahab smiling at them.
Moses: (to Goh) Hello there, young man.
Goh: Wow! H-Hello, sir. I love your faith story on how you saved your people from Egypt and held the two stone tablets.
Moses: Well that's good to know.
Rahab: Hello, little girl.
Chloe: H-Hello, Rahab. It's nice to meet you.
Rahab: Please, child. The honor is mine.
Chloe: Okay, I love your faith story on how you hid the two spies.
Rahab: (smiles) Well, thank you, Chloe.
Meanwhile, Michael was talking to his little angel son, Mikey, Jr., who looked a lot like his dad. He had a dark blue sash and his hair was shorter than his father's.
Michael: Son, I want you to tell your friends and gather Ash, his friends, and their Pokémon to be at the throne room right away. Me and the other angels will meet you there.
Mikey, Jr.: I will father.
So off Mikey went to get his little angel friends and led Ash and his pals to go to the Throne of God.
Mikey, Jr.: Little Angels, front and center!
Soon enough, seven little angels appeared in front of Mikey as they heard him. The first angel was wearing a golden yellow sash, holding a modern trumpet, and had gamboge-colored hair. The next angel was wearing a jazzberry jam sash, holding a Torah, and had brown hair with a pink flower and a dark olive green bow tied into a pigtail. The third angel was wearing a mulberry sash, a flower crown, a sword belt with a holder, a headband that's the same color as the sash with pompadour hearts, and the same colored hair as the first little angel. The fourth angel was wearing an olive green sash, holding a palette of paint and a paintbrush, and had seal brown hair. The fifth angel was wearing a muesli sash, a safari hat on her head, and had rusty red hair. The sixth angel was wearing a falu red sash, holding a magnifying glass, and had the same colored hair as the fifth angel. And the seventh and final angel was wearing a wild willow sash, holding a harp, and had golden-brown hair.
Mikey, Jr.: Gabe?
Gabe: Here, sir!
Mikey, Jr.: Deedee?
Deedee: Here!
Mikey, Jr.: Ari?
Ari: I'm here.
Mikey, Jr.: Uri?
Uri: I'm here. Heard you loud and clear.
Mikey, Jr.: Hayley?
Hayley: Oy'm heah.
Mikey, Jr.: Hammy?
Hammy: Present.
Mikey, Jr.: And Charmy?
Charmy: Here.
Mikey, Jr.: Good, looks like you little angels are here.
Deedee: Need something, Mikey?
Mikey, Jr.: I need you to gather Ash and his friends to get to the Throne Room. God wants to see them right away. Father said he and the other angels will be there too.
Little Angels: You got it!
And so, Mikey, Gabe, Ari, and the rest of the Little Angels went to get the Pokémon Kids. When Mikey saw Ash, Serena, and Pikachu, he flew right up to them.
Mikey, Jr.: Excuse me, Ash? Serena?
Ash: Yes, that's us. Who are you?
Mikey, Jr.: I'm Mikey, Jr., son of Michael.
Pikachu: You're the child of an archangel?
Mikey, Jr.: (nods) Yes, I am. My father said for me and my fellow angels to gather you and your friends.
Serena: What for? If you don't mind my asking.
Mikey, Jr.: Not at all. Father says God wants to see you all in the Throne Room.
Pikachu: The Throne Room?
Mikey, Jr.: That's right. Follow me, kids! You're gonna enjoy the ride.
Ash and Serena: Ride?
Pikachu: What ride?
Mikey, Jr.: By flying!
The boy, girl, and their Pokémon, dream or real, looked in confusion.
Ash: How can we get to the throne room if we can't fly?
Mikey, Jr.: You'll see.
As Mikey was with the kids, Gabe and Deedee are with Misty, Brock, Tracey, May, and Max.
May: Hey, guys, look. Two little angels. Aren't they cute?
Misty: Yeah, they're adorable!
Deedee blushed upon hearing that compliment.
Deedee: Why, thank you, you two. My name's Deedee.
Gabe: And I'm Gabe. We've been asked to gather you all.
Max: Huh?
Brock: What's the occasion?
Deedee: God wants to see you all in the Throne Room.
Gabe: That's why you're going to fly with us.
Tracey: (confused) Fly?
Deedee: With angel wings.
May: Angel wings? (looks behind her) Oh my! (saw Max's back) Max, you got some too!
Misty: (looks behind her, gasps) How's this possible?!
Gabe: Well, like my father, Gabriel says, "Everything is possible with God".
Brock: Wow!
As the group was getting ready, Ari saw Dawn, Iris, and Cilan.
Ari: Excuse me, Dawn, Iris, and Cilan?
Iris: Yeah, that's us. Who are you, anyway?
Ari: My name's Ari. I've been asked to bring you to the Throne Room.
Dawn: The Throne Room? Why?
Ari: God wishes to speak with you.
Cilan: Really? But how come?
Ari: You'll know soon enough.
As Ari was getting the kids ready for take-off, Uri saw Clemont and Bonnie.
Uri: Clemont and Bonnie? My name is Uri.
Clemont: Yes, I'm Clemont and that's Bonnie. What do you want from us?
Uri: I've been asked to bring you to the throne room and the Lord is going to make your heart go boom boom!
Bonnie: Boom boom. (giggles)
Clemont: Is that a good thing?
Uri: (nods) Yes indeed. As you can clearly see, I want you to fly and glide with me.
As Clemont looked behind his back, he suddenly saw Bonnie flying in circles.
Bonnie: Whee! (laughs)
Clemont: B-Bonnie! You're flying!
As Uri was getting Bonnie to calm down, Hayley saw the Alola Kids playing with the animals.
Hayley: Pahdawn me, everyone? Oy'm Hielay, and Oy've bayn asked t' bring yah ooll t' the Throne Room.
Mallow: Why us, Hayley?
Hayley: Because Gawd weeshes t' say yah and ooll yoah friends, muytes.
Lillie: What is she talking about, Sophocles?
Sophocles: I dunno. I've never heard that language before.
Gladion: She's saying God wants to see us and the rest of our friends. Is that right, Hayley?
Hayley: Thaht's roigh'. And weah gawnna floy loike the buhds! Just look at yoah bahcks.
Lana: (looks behind her) Wings!
Kiawe: (looks behind him) Whoa!
Hayley: Fawllaow me, muytes!
As the Alola Kids follow Hayley to the Throne Room, Hammy and Charmy find Gary, Tabitha, Goh, and Chloe.
Chloe: Aw, look at those angels. They're cute.
Tabitha: You're right, Chloe. They do look sweet.
Charmy blushed at this compliment.
Hammy: Gary, Tabitha, Goh, and Chloe? My name is Hammy.
Charmy: And I'm Charmy.
Hammy: We came to get you to the Throne Room.
Gary: Throne Room?
Goh: What for?
Charmy: God wants to speak to you.
Chloe: (gasps) Oh my gosh.
Tabitha: Whoa…
Hammy: Also, look behind you.
The four kids looked behind them and saw angel wings on their backs.
Goh: (gasps) Chloe, look at our backs!
Chloe: Oh my gosh! (goes up in the air)
Tabitha: You can fly! (finds herself flying as well) I can fly!
Gary: This is amazing!
Hammy: Follow us, children.
And with that, the last group of kids followed the two little angels. Meanwhile, outside the Throne Room, Ash, Serena, and Pikachu were landing. They were joined by ten Pokémon, called Kleavor, Hisuian Lilligant, Hisuian Arcanine, Hisuian Electrode, Hisuian Avalugg, Wyrdeer, Ursaluna, Basculegion, Sneasler, and Hisuian Braviary.
With these ten Pokémon was a large white equine-like Pokémon. This was the Alpha Pokémon, Arceus.
Arceus: Hello, Mikey, Jr. I see you brought some of the children whom our Lord and Creator wishes to speak with.
Mikey, Jr.: Yes, Arceus.
Ash: Who is he?
Serena: And who are all these Pokémon with him?
Arceus: I am Arceus, the Alpha Pokémon. The first Pokémon created by God Himself. And these ten Pokémon you see before you are ancestors of the Pokémon I once blessed with God's power millions of years ago when the Sinnoh Region was known as Hisui.
Ash: Whoa…
Serena: (to Arceus) Does that make you God's Pokémon?
Arceus: In a manner of speaking. (looks) Ah. I see your friends have arrived as well.
One by one, Ash and Serena's friends joined up with them. They stared in awe of Arceus and the ten Pokémon standing before them.
Arceus: I trust you little angels had no trouble bringing the children and their friends here?
Gabe: Not at all, Arceus.
Hayley: Nao wohroys at ooll, mite.
Ari: Bringing them is as easy as Apple Pie of Love!
Michael: (comes alongside Arceus) Well done.
Mikey, Jr.: Thank you, father. I see you brought your friends too.
Michael: (chuckles) Indeed.
Michael is with the other archangels who look a lot like their children.
Serena: Wow. To be here with archangels…
Ash: And Arceus and these Pokémon…
Pikachu: All here to bring us to see our Creator Himself.
Arceus: (turns) Follow us, and we will lead you to Him.
And with that, the kids and their Pokémon followed the archangels, the little angels, the Mythical Alpha Pokémon, and the ten blessed Pokémon inside. As they were inside the Throne Room, Mikey, Jr introduced his father's friends.
Mikey, Jr.: You already know my father, Michael, of course. These are his friends.
Gabe: This is my father, Gabriel.
Gabriel: Hello.
Gabriel looked just like his son, except his hair was longer, and has a heavenly trumpet.
Deedee: This is Dina, my mother. She's the Angel of Learning.
Dina: (smiles) Nice to meet you.
Dina looked just like her daughter, except her hair was flowing, and had a Torah just like Deedee.
Ari: This is my mother, Ariel and she is the Angel of Nature.
Ariel: (smiles) Hello, my dears.
Ariel looked just like her daughter, except for her hair was long, had a golden sash, and wore a floral crown on her head.
Serena: I like your floral crown, ma'am. I'd like to be able to make one for myself someday.
Ariel: (smiles) Well, thank you, Serena.
Uri: This is my father, Uriel is his name and Creativity is his game.
Uriel: (chuckles) Hello, my young friends. I hope your journey never ends.
Uriel looked just like his son, except he had a beard, a golden sash, a palette of paint, and a paintbrush.
Hayley: Thiies is me muhthah, Huyyoyl. She's the uyngel of woyld animuls.
Hayyel: G'day, little muytes.
Hayyel looked just like her daughter except her hair flowing and has a golden sash.
Hammy: This is my father, Hamaliel, the Angel of Logic.
Hamaliel: Greetings, nice to meet you.
Hamaliel looked just like his son except for his long hair, a golden sash, and a quill pen.
Charmy: And this is my mother, Charmeine, the Angel of Harmony.
Charmeine: (smiles) I'm pleased to meet you as well.
Charmeine looked just like her daughter except with her hair flowing, wearing a golden sash, and had a harp.
Misty: So, do you archangels work with both Arceus and God Himself?
Gabriel: That's right, Misty.
Lillie: Will we see Jesus in the Throne Room as well? I mean, since we've seen Him a lot on our journey?
Mikey, Jr.: Of course, you will.
Charmy: This is His home, after all.
Lillie: Oh, right.
Ash: Um, excuse me, but how long before we reach the Throne Room?
Arceus: Worry not, young travelers. We're nearly there.
So, the entire group of kids, Pokémon, and angels was flying closer to the Throne Room and finally made it.
Arceus: We have arrived. And here is the Son of our Creator Himself.
Arceus bowed as he, the ten ancestral Pokémon, and archangels saw Jesus Christ. He was wearing a purple sash and a golden crown with a pink gem.
Jesus: (smiles) Hello, Arceus. I see you and the archangels have brought my young friends.
Arceus: Indeed we have.
Ash & Serena: Hi, Jesus!
Ash and Serena were the first to fly over to Jesus and hugged Him.
Jesus: Hello Ash, Serena. I see you met some future Pokémon friends and met your Biblical heroes.
Ash: We sure did. So Jesus, what did your Father bring us here for?
Serena: Yes, and when will we meet our future Pokémon friends?
Jesus: All in good time, Serena. You will meet your future friends when the time comes. As for why Father wanted you all brought here, He wants to talk to you.
Ash & Serena: Talk to us?
Jesus saw that they all looked a bit nervous and gave a reaffirming smile.
Jesus: Don't be afraid, my young friends. Come with me.
So, they and all their friends followed after Jesus. Arceus, the ten ancestral Pokémon, the archangels, and their children followed after them. When they got to the Throne Room, the kids were surprised! God was sitting on his gigantic throne and there was Jesus' throne on the right side of His Father's.
Jesus: Father, they have arrived.
The kids and their Pokémon bowed in God's presence, along with Arceus, the ten ancestral Pokémon, the archangels, and their children. God had a white beard and was wearing a golden sash.
God: Welcome, young travelers.
His voice could be heard reverberating throughout the Throne Room as He spoke. Jesus stood on the right side of his Father, while Arceus stood on the left side.
Ash: (kneeling) Hello, God.
Serena: (kneeling) It's an honor to see you, Sir.
God: (smiles) The honor is mine. (pause) I know that you all must have many questions.
Ash: How did you know, Lord?
God: (chuckles) I know everything, young Ash.
Serena: So, why have you brought us here, Lord?
Pikachu: They haven't done anything bad, have they?
Delphox: I hope you're right, Pikachu.
God: (smiles) It's alright, young Pokémon. There's nothing wrong at all.
Pikachu: Well, what is it?
Arceus: Calm down, young one, and let our Creator explain.
God: Thank you, Arceus. (pets Arceus on the head)
Ash and Serena's Pokémon calmed down so that they would allow the Lord to explain why they were brought before Him.
God: The reason I brought you here is that I have special plans for your lives.
Ash, Serena, and their friends looked at each other in surprise as the Lord continued.
God: Ash Ketchum, you have always wanted to meet new Pokémon, right?
Ash: Well, actually, yes, Sir. I even caught a glimpse of some Pokémon who may join me someday. But I don't know a lot about them yet.
God: I am sure you will in time, young man. (to Serena) Serena, you always wanted to be a Pokémon Performer.
Serena: Why, yes. (pause) But I have to admit, I'm kind of shy about it. I'm not even sure if I can pull it off. And there are other kinds of performances I might wanna try. Can You help me, please?
God: Of course, I will help you.
Serena: (smiles) Oh, thank you, Lord.
God: And I am sure Ash can be of help to you along the way as well.
Ash: I will?
God: Yes.
Ash: Well, I'll try my best.
Gary: (walks up) Lord, I'm really sorry for giving Ash a hard time back home in the Kanto Region. I was arrogant and didn't know better. I hope you can forgive me.
God: (smiles) Of course, I will.
Gary felt much better as God continued to speak to him.
God: I hope you will become a good helper for your grandfather and your sister.
Gary: I'd sure like to help them out.
God: And one day, you will go out and train other Pokémon.
Gary: (smiles) That'd be great.
Misty: (walks up) God, do you think I'll become a good Water Pokémon trainer?
God: (smiles) Indeed you will, Misty.
Misty: Thank you, Lord!
Brock and Tabitha stepped forward.
God: Ah, Brock and Tabitha.
Brock: Lord, I wish to be a great Pokémon Breeder someday.
Tabitha: And I'd like to be a great Pokémon Nurse one day.
God: Those plans have been taken care of.
Brock and Tabitha: (surprised) They have?
God: Yes, they have. I am positive that you two will have bright futures.
Brock and Tabitha: (smiling) Thank you, Lord.
Tracey was up next.
Tracey: Lord, I'd like to be the best Pokémon Watcher I can be. And possibly even work with Professor Samuel Oak… As may be one of his assistants.
God: (smiles) You will have a great future, Tracey Sketchit.
Tracey: (smiles) Oh thank you, Sir.
May & Max: (step forward) Hello, Sir.
God: And hello to you, May, and little Max.
May: Do you have a plan for my life, God?
God: Indeed I do, child. You will be a Pokémon Coordinator someday.
May: (gasps) Really?
God: (chuckles) Yes.
May: And what about Max?
God: He will become a good Pokémon Researcher.
May: Wow! You hear that, Max?
Max: Uh-huh. (giggles)
May: Thank you, God.
Dawn was up next to talk to the Almighty.
Dawn: So, Lord, do you have any plans for me as well?
God: As a matter of fact, I do. Just like May, you will be a Pokémon Coordinator.
Dawn: Wow, amazing! Maybe we'll be rivals, May.
May: Yeah! We can help each other practice our moves.
The Lord chuckled as the two future Coordinators shared a high five.
Iris: What about me, God? What're your plans for me?
God: Well, young Iris, you are going to be a Dragon Trainer.
Iris: (excitedly) Really? I'll get to train lots of different Dragon-types?
God: (chuckles) That's right.
Iris: Oh, I can't wait!
Cilan: (comes up) I wish to be a great S-Class Pokémon Connoisseur one day, Lord.
God: (smiles) Oh, you will, young boy.
Cilan: (smiles) Oh, thank you, Almighty God. I promise to work hard and give good evaluations.
Up next were Clemont and Bonnie.
Clemont: O Lord, I know I've only just started believing in you and Jesus, but already I see you are real. I promise I will never be as foolish as Soloman was. And if I lose my way, I will ask you and Jesus for guidance.
God: (pleased) Good for you, Clemont. One day, you will become a great Pokémon Inventor.
Clemont: That's my dream. And what about Bonnie?
God: She will become a great Pokémon Performer, just like Serena.
Clemont: Really? You hear that, Bonnie?
Bonnie: Yeah! (giggles)
Serena: I could offer to help her out if that's okay with you, Lord.
God: Of course, it will be alright.
Lana: (steps up) O Lord, what is your plan for me?
God: Well, Lana, you will become a great Water Pokémon Fisher.
Lana: Whoa, really? Maybe I'll catch a rare Water Pokémon someday.
Misty: And don't forget, we'll always be honorary sisters of the sea.
Lana: (smiles) Yeah. Always.
Both Water-type Pokémon lovers gave each other a high five as Kiawe stepped forward.
Kiawe: (bows) O Lord, I would be most humbled if you'd please tell me what your plan for me is.
God: Well, Kiawe, you will be a good farmer for your family.
Kiawe: (humbled) Thank you, Lord.
Mallow: (steps forward) What about me, Sir? Does your plan for me have anything to do with my family's restaurant?
God: Yes indeed, Mallow.
Mallow: (smiles) Oh thank you, Lord. That's my biggest wish ever. I wanna make my family restaurant the best in the Alola Region, with recipes that are good for both humans and Pokémon.
The Almighty chuckled as Sophocles stepped forward.
Sophocles: It's my turn. Lord, do you have something for me?
God: Indeed I do, child. You will become an astronaut and explore as much outer space as you can.
Sophocles: Alright! That'd be awesome!
Lillie and Gladion now stepped forward before the Lord.
Lillie: Lord, what great plans do you have for our lives?
Gladion: Please tell us.
God: (smiles) Well, Lillie, you will become a great Pokémon Caretaker.
Lillie: (surprised) I will?
God: Yes. And Gladion, you will become the protector of Alola.
Gladion: (surprised) Me? The protector of Alola? (pause) That sounds like a big responsibility.
God: (chuckles) It is, young man.
Gladion: I'll do my best, Lord Almighty. (kneels)
And finally, Goh and Chloe stepped forward.
Goh: You have plans for me, Lord?
God: I do, Goh, you will protect all kinds of Pokémon.
Goh: (amazed) Whoa…
Chloe: What about me, God?
God: (smiles) You will become a Pokémon Performer.
Chloe: (gasps) Like Serena?
God: Yes.
Serena: We could help each other be the best we can be. I mean, if you'd like.
Chloe: That's a great idea! Thanks, Serena.
Both girls gave a high five.
Ash: Is there anything else you wanted to tell us, Lord?
God: Well, Ash, you started your journey to tell My Son's Story, right?
Ash: Yes.
God: Well, you told so many people about Him.
Ash: And you want me to keep doing it?
God: Yes, and do not worry about the new baby Spencer and Eliza just have.
Ash: The baby? Will the baby mean something to me in the future as well?
God: Exactly.
Serena: But we can't very well take the baby with us now, can we? I mean, he or she was just born, right?
God: That's right, Serena.
Ash: But why? Will something bad happen to Professor and Mrs. Hale?
God: Do not worry, children. I will guide them safely.
Jesus: When my Father makes a promise, He keeps it.
Serena: So, why'd you have us come to see you while we were still asleep?
Ash: Yeah. I mean, is this all real, or is it a dream?
Jesus: Actually, it is a dream, and it is real.
Arceus: As real as I and many other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are real.
Ash, Serena, and the other kids and Pokémon were shocked by this.
Pikachu: I guess you three must have seen something really special about us, huh?
Jesus: That's correct, Pikachu. Right now, it's time for you to wake up.
Ash: Wait, there's still so much I wanna know. I mean, how will I be able to explain to my Mom or Professor Oak what we just experienced?
Serena: And how will we meet our future Pokémon friends?
Pikachu: And will we Pokémon see you again, Arceus?
Arceus: It's all right, Pikachu.
Jesus: You will meet your new Pokémon friends only when the time is right.
God: Just have faith in Me and My Son.
Suddenly, everything seems to turn white.
Ash: (wakes up) Wow… What a dream!
Ash looked to see what time of day it was, just as Serena was waking up.
Serena: (yawns) Good morning, Ash. (rubs her eyes)
Ash: Did we just…
Serena: Dream about seeing Jesus…
Ash and Serena: And the Lord our God?
Their Pokémon woke up as well.
Ash's Charmander: Wild. I dreamt I had evolved into a Charizard. And I had this ability to change my appearance.
Pikachu: Yeah. And we were meeting Ash and Serena's heroes.
Fennekin: And I was a Delphox.
One by one, the kids all woke up and stated what they saw in their dream. Even the babysitters woke up as well.
Gary: Sis, you are not gonna believe the dream we had.
Daisy: (rubs her eyes) Why don't you try me?
Gary: We were in Heaven and Earth was talking to us and our future Pokémon.
Daisy: Future Pokemon?
Marina: Maybe we should have breakfast first. Then you kids can tell us more.
Misty: Yeah, good idea.
Just then, Joseph came walking up.
Iris: Hey, here comes Joseph.
Joseph: Good morning, everyone. Did you sleep well?
April: I know I did. But I think we could use some breakfast before the kids tell us all about their dreams.
Joseph: Good idea. Follow me, children.
And so they did. After they had their breakfast, they saw a bright light appearing in front of them. It was Jesus Christ Himself.
Jesus: (smiles) Hello again, my young friends.
Ash: Jesus! Hi!
Serena: This is perfect. We were just about to tell our babysitters about the dream we had. Or was it a vision? (uncertain) A dream-vision?
Joseph: (surprised) Lord? Is that you?
Jesus: Yes, Joseph. It is I. (pause) My young friends, I just want to thank you for coming to see My Father.
Babysitters: (surprised) Your Father?
Henrietta: As in God?
Jesus: That is correct, Henrietta.
Ash: (to Jesus) Maybe You can better explain it than we could.
Jesus: Of course. And Sophocles?
Sophocles: Yes?
Jesus: Remember what God told you about becoming an astronaut as a plan for your life?
Sophocles: Yeah.
Jesus: I have got just the scripture just for you.
Sophocles: That's perfect! What is it?
Jesus: Well, in the Book of Jeremiah, it says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Kia: That's Jeremiah 29:11, right?
Jesus: Correct. It means that God will give you a bright future in your life.
Sophocles: Whoa… That's awesome.
Jesus: Remember the dream you had last night?
May: How could I forget?
Serena: But why do you ask?
Jesus: Because Earth told you to come in and praise My Father.
Daisy: So the dream they had… Was real?
Donzelle: I think you're right, Daisy.
Sonny: This is heavy.
Pikachu: Yeah. And besides the Lord, we even saw their heroes, ten ancestral Pokémon, and even Arceus.
Marina: Arceus?
Dennis: The Alpha Pokémon?
Axew: Yep. And we just dream-evolved.
Snowy: Well, some of us did.
May: We also met the Archangels and their kids.
Jasper: The Archangels, and their kids?
Max: Uh-huh.
Jesus: Indeed. They are some of my Father's closest allies.
Sophocles: Sometimes, dreams do come true.
Jesus: Yes. But as a wise man, Fred McFeely Rogers, once said, "it is up to you to make them happen". And having faith in Me and my Father doesn't hurt, either.
Sophocles: I guess you're right, Jesus. Thanks for coming to see us.
Jesus: Of course.
Pikachu: (to Ash) Who's Fred McFeely Rogers?
Ash: I'm not sure. (realizes) Hey, I remember him now! He's a star on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Sophocles: Huh?
Jesus: (smiles) You may one day get a chance to meet him on one of the days I come to see you again. All you need to know, Sophocles, is that he is a great man who loves children… As much as I do.
Serena: And we love You, too.
Mallow: It was also good to see my Mama again. Even if it was just for a while.
Jesus: Well, it's time for you to continue on your journey.
Ash: I'd still like to know how Professor and Mrs. Hale's baby will be important to me on my journey, though.
Jesus: (pats Ash on the head) You will know soon enough, my boy. (pause) Until then, be well.
And with that, the Son of God took his leave.
Joseph: I don't believe it! I'm seeing The Son of God.
Voice: We saw Him, too.
Joseph turned around and saw his father Jacob, and his eleven brothers.
Joseph: Dad. Brothers.
Goh: (to Chloe) Whoa. Twelve brothers? Imagine the grocery bills.
Chloe: I know, right? (giggles)
Joseph's little brother, Benjamin walked up.
Benjamin: Joseph, did I just see what you've seen?
Joseph: Yes, Benjamin. I think we did.
Togedemaru: Soffy, are you glad that Jesus gave you that scripture?
Sophocles: I sure am.
Ash: Anyway, thanks for letting us sleep in your camp, Joseph.
Joseph: My pleasure, young man.
Narrator: Dreams. They can become a reality if you can make them happen. With people and Pokémon, nothing can stand in your way. Now, our heroes are ready to move on down the path Jesus was taking them. As the journey continues.
