Day 5
"Hey Ash, remember me?"
Ash looked at the Pokemon in front of him, "Yeah, how are you doing Manaphy?"
"I'm great!" said Manaphy, "How is May?"
"Last time I saw her, she was doing well," said Ash, "she and her brother Max are constantly getting stronger,"
"That's great," said Manaphy, "can you tell May if she wants to visit me she can come to Samiya anytime?"
"But I thought it was only visible during a lunar eclipse," said Ash, "won't it be impossible to find?"
"Not necessarily," replied Manaphy.
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Ash.
"Well," said Manaphy, "as people who have visited Samiya before and ones who have been blessed by the temple, you, May, Max, and all your friends that came with you on that adventure will be able to find Samiya at any time,"
"How would we find it?" asked Ash.
"All you have to do," said Manaphy, "is when you're in the ocean think of Samiya. When you do, you'll know exactly where it is. The only problem is that sometimes it might be pretty far away."
"Really?" asked Ash, "Ok, I'll tell May as soon as I get home,"
"Thanks Ash," said Manaphy, "don't forget, you're always welcome there too,"
"I won't," said Ash, "see you later Manaphy!"
"Bye Ash!"
"Hmm," said Ash after Manaphy left, "that sounds like something cool to do sometime huh?"
"Maybe," said Pikachu, "it would be nice to be able to visit Samiya without being chased by some crazy pirate guy or having the temple flood while you're in it,"
"Or drown while trying to fix the Sea Crown," added Ash jokingly.
"Eh, I think you're basically invincible at this point," said Pikachu.
"Hmm," said Ash, "you know buddy, it seems like we keep getting stronger when we move on to new regions, but what do you think could beat defeating Leon?"
"I don't know," said Pikachu, "maybe we'll just find out? After all, we couldn't think of anything better than winning the Alola league at the time,"
"Personally, I would say just listen to your truth,"
"And your ideals, that should give you an answer,"
"Oh, hi Zekrom, Reshiram," said Ash, "what do you mean by that?"
"Well," said Zekrom, "if you want to find a new challenge, you should ask yourself what your ideal goal is,"
"And," added Reshiram, "you must use your truth to make that goal a reality,"
"Huh?" asked Ash.
"Sorry," said Pikachu, "let me put it in simpler terms, pick a goal and do it."
Reshiram and Zekrom sweatdropped. "It sounded much cooler our way," said Zekrom.
"Yeah," said Pikachu, "except Ash here can't understand anything beyond simple logic,"
"I can too," said Ash.
"Let me rephrase that," said Pikachu, "You can't understand anything beyond simple logic except in battles or when it's about food,"
"But-" started Ash, "Oh whatever, anyway, how's N doing?"
"He's doing well," replied Reshiram, "he just needed to understand that not all trainers are bad and that humans and Pokemon can work together to achieve a common truth. Ghetsis' main idea was good, however, his ideas were corrupted with evil so N was misinformed about many things,"
"That's good," said Ash, "he is a nice guy,"
"Yes," said Zekrom, "I think we have managed to teach him how to observe the world from an ideal standpoint,"
"Speaking of which," said Ash, "am I the Hero of Ideals and N the Hero of Truth or am I the Hero of Truth and N the Hero of Ideals?"
Both dragons looked at each other.
"Let me guess," said Pikachu, "another timeline split?"
"Possibly," said Zekrom, "although we haven't talked to Dialga about it yet,"
"Let's just say currently you're both the Hero of Truth and the Hero of Ideals," said Reshiram, "it keeps things, should we say, simpler,"
"That's the simple way?" asked Ash.
"I feel like we don't want to know the other way then," said Pikachu.
"Hello Ash,"
"Nebby!" said Ash, "How have you been?"
"I've been well," said the Solgaleo, "and you?"
"I'm doing pretty well," said Ash, "traveling through Galar and re-visiting other regions was lots of fun!"
"That's good," said Nebby, "has your goal to be a Pokemon Master been fulfilled since you are technically the strongest trainer in the world?"
"I don't know," said Ash, "I never really had anything in mind when I set out to be a Pokemon Master. I know being the strongest trainer is part of that, but I just feel like something's still missing,"
"Well," said Nebby, "maybe you'll find your answer here,"
"Do you know something?" asked Ash.
"No, I don't," said Nebby, "I just heard some of the other legendaries talking about it although I'm not sure I'm supposed to tell you that,"
"Meloetta and some of the others hinted at something as well," said Pikachu, "maybe only certain legendaries know?"
"I'm not one of the major legendaries so I don't know that much," said Nebby, "but I'm pretty sure that they have something in store,"
"Just let it be," said Pikachu, "I have a feeling we'll know eventually,"
"Yeah," said Ash, "anyway, how are the Ultra Beasts doing?"
"I would say it's going pretty well," replied Nebby, "we're almost done restoring Ultra Space to what it was before, of course getting Necrozma back helped a lot but there were a few things that still needed to be fixed."
"That's good," said Ash, "how's Naganadel doing?"
"Naganadel's doing very well," said Nebby, "in fact I think he's the leader of the Poipole colony now,"
"Really?" asked Ash, "That's great! Tell him I said hi!"
"Will do," said Nebby, "it's the least I can do to repay you for taking care of me,"
"It was no problem," said Ash.
"Actually…" said Pikachu.
Nebby laughed. "I've heard I was quite the handful for you and your friends. Looks like Pikachu agrees,"
Ash laughed as well. "Yeah, but it was fun,"
"I agree," said Nebby, "unfortunately, I have to go now, but if you ever visit Alola again make sure to drop by the Altar of the Sunne for a visit!"
"Sure!" said Ash, "See ya!"
"Goodbye Ash!"
Aaand cut!
Well, there's day 5 after this only 2 more days!
Now I REALLY have to go think of that 'gift'...
