(Epilogue: Beginning of a New World)

Even though not much time has passed since the heroes returned to their own world, with the end of Alternate Team Rocket, the heroes of Alternate Sinnoh and the resistance along with the survivors were having the time of their lives as they worked to restore their world to its former, or perhaps, greater glory. The effects of the final battle came into effect and they were beginning to show; by the end of the war and the efforts of Dialga and Palkia, their world was returning to normal as every bit of land from mountain ranges and prairies to swamp lands and oceanic islands, all of the animals (i.e. mammals, amphibians, birds, insects, and invertebrates) and Pokemon all returned from extinction as the damage was reversed completely.

The survivors also made plans to turn the wreckage of the ruins of other towns and cities that bore the brunt of Team Rocket's assault into desired habitats for their converted Prryah and Pantala Dragons after the world was restored. For instance, Kanto will be the new home of the RainWings and LeafWings, Johto has become the site for the SilkWings and SeaWings, the HiveWings and SandWings will make their home in Hoenn, Unova will house the SkyWings and IceWings, and finally, the MudWings and NightWings will seek refuge in their new home of Kalos.

Along with the survivors that had been put together as restoration teams, each of the dragon tribes arrived at their respective homes-to-be as they began to make themselves at home quite remarkably. They've even gone as far as to not only build Hives for the Pantala Dragon Species in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn akin to the Hives in Pantala that are spread out agrees she regions but also develop a series of silk bridges that connected them, christening them as Bumblebee Hive, Buffalo Hive, and Hercules Hive (all of which were made from a paper-thin material from wood pulp, clay, and silk called Treestuff).

Even the ruins of Jublife City were restored to combine them with the Domed City of Twinleaf Town and create Twinlife City, shutting down and removing the dome completely with the Secret Six and their family leading the charge to restore the cars, trucks, vans, stores, restaurants, and so on that had been destroyed in the war for the newly-expanded city. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina had also returned to help oversee the recovery and restoration efforts as they all nodded proudly, seeing how much they were able to accomplish since they started after they made sure the heroes were safely back in their own homeworld.

Once everything was done with the new city, everybody cheered and a big celebration was held in honor of their heroes from this world and afar and to formally welcome the converted dragons into their newly-restored world with drinks and food of all sorts being handed out in droves as everyone danced and sang joyously.

As the celebrations were going on, however, Alternate Sarah, Alternate Race, and their family and friends decided it was time for them to go on a nice long vacation and make up for all the time that had been lost in the war against Alternate Team Rocket and to put their days of fighting behind them (even if they and their powers would be needed should anything go wrong). In the old base housing them and their fellow resistance fighters, the RPM Ninjetti Rangers and their Pokemon and creatures had finished packing and were about to head out on the Ohana Motorhome and Carriage (left behind by their counterparts as a thank-you present from them, graciously given to them before the final battle of their war took place), taking a moment to revel in the memories they shared away from the war before they would soon take their leave.

As they were finishing up, they were greeted by a pair of officers from Commander Cynthia's forces who are among those who want to see them off.

"Ye guys ready to go?" smiled the officer from the left knowingly.

"Ready as we'll ever be," smiled Alternate Sarah back.

"Well, if ye guys wanna hang around a bit before you run, me brother and I and our family got plenty of room for ye in the new shop," the officer replied.

"Shop?" quizzed Alternate Race.

"Sure, we're helping the commander's technical experts in building and installing a new and more advanced computer and magic network for Twinlife City."

"Uh, yeah, no can do, pallie. I think we'd rather keep our brains away from AWOL computers and whacko magic for a while," Prince quipped cheekily, making the officers chuckle heartily just as five more officers arrived with some people in their late teens in uniforms being new recruits.

"Drumroll, please, ladies and gentlemen, 'cause you're looking at the Twinlife Police Force's newest recruits," chuckled one of the officers as he did a makeshift drumroll on the motorhome.

"We get to be trained to help fight crime for you guys," began one of the recruits at the front of the group.

"And, we get paid for it after we're qualified and ready for the job," finished another, both of them sharing a fist bump as they're revealed to be twin siblings just as Commander Cynthia appeared with a suitcase at hand and her elite officers by her side.

"Children, if you're planning on heading out for a long-awaited vacation, I'll need a little something from you. Now that the threat of Team Rocket is no more, your powers are no longer needed. Your morphers and Engine Cells, please," smiled the commander as a wheeled table was rolled in front of her and she set the case down, opening it to reveal empty slots for the RPM Ninjetti Rangers' morphers and Engine Cells.

The heroes of Alternate Sinnoh looked at each other and their morphers, knowing this to be true. And, deciding to go back to their normal lives even if they'll keep their Ninja Ranger Powers for self-defense, they agreed to the request as Alterante Ash stepped up first to return his morpher while he quietly muses, "Get in gear."

Slowly, the others followed his example, each of them giving content but said smiles as they gave the commander their morphers and Engine Cells and returned them to their respective places, effectively saying goodbye to their alter egos until the day came when they'll be needed once more.

"No more Ranger Series Operators, total deja vu since we're following an example by the Power Rangers RPM when they finally defeated Venjix. What next?" asked Alternate Lillie, knowing what everybody was thinking.

Alternate Sarah sighed blissfully yet felt a little sad and bittersweet as she turned to her dragons along with her family's puppies and Prince and thought about her twin and her family. Deciding to take a chance, she took a deep breath and announced to her extended family, "Everyone, I have something to say."

She went over to Palm and gently rubbed her head as she said, "Palm, I think it's time for you and everybody else in our family to go down your own path. You all deserve a second chance to be happy and be free after everything that happened, it's time for you to look after yourselves."

Alternate Ash and the others were shocked and even the rest of their current party didn't know what to think as a stunned Amber blinked, "...Mommy, why? What do you mean?"

Alternate Sarah just continued to give a bittersweet smile as her family's Pokemon and dragons gathered as she told them, "You've gone far beyond the call of duty during the last two years fighting Team Rocket, even risking yourselves to find and rescue Amber, Sunlight, and the Secret Six after they were left behind before our twins crossed over and helped us end the madness we were going through. And, because of them and the hope they've given us, we've dealt the most dangerous Pokemon syndicate our world has ever faced and we've proven ourselves to be the mightiest heroes of our world. And, even though it's finally over for us, you may now choose whichever life you want to live now. The choice is yours."

Bear, Benji, Corozon, Wiz, Molly, Ranger, Cherry, Amber, Sunlight, Rainbow Rain, Amina, Swan Song, Blizzard Silk, Luci and Prince, Palm, Prickle, Tempest, and Alternate Sarah's Pokemon and dragons didn't know what to think as they knew that choosing their own paths meant leaving behind the only family they've ever known and possibly never seeing them again after they did so much to not only rescue them but also care and look out for them as their own, especially since each of them lost their own families and friends when Team Rocket unleashed their merciless might in the past two years before they were finally defeated. They couldn't imagine a life without the very person as well as the very people that rescued and accepted them without question as extended family and friends and even if they do wish to accept a new life (remembering everything Sarah and her group did for them), it wouldn't be the same to them.

"Find a way to reach my twin and live with her in her world if you must, I won't stop you. But, I just want you to know, I'll always love you as my own no matter where you are and you'll always be welcomed among us in Twinlife City," sniffed Alternate Sarah as she began to cry quietly, knowing how difficult it'll be for her to part ways with her family should they choose to go to her twin somehow.

Everybody watched with bated breath but also felt sad and sympathetic for Alternate Sarah as she made the most difficult decision she can make involving her extended family for the sake of their own happiness and well-being, none of them knowing what to say next. But, she was given the shock of her life when she was approached by the Inuan Pikachu and the first one gave her a gentle tail slap to her left cheek before he cheekily quipped, "No way, Jose."

"Yeah, are you finished with your little sob story?"

"Your double's awesome but you're the only one meant for us, missy,"

"All of us," the other three Inuan Pikachu agreed, smirking at her.

"They're right, it would be nice to be with your twin from now on but we're needed here instead, Sarah," Palm replied as she and the others involved all knew what they really wanted, stunning everybody. "We all fought to put an end to Team Rocket and we all did it together, the pain and sacrifices we went through to achieve it was worth it."

"Mom, we talked it over while we were helping to restore the world. I think we all feel the same way. Our place is with you and our friends here alone, that's who we want to be with," added Tempest as Alternate Sarah's Pokemon nodded in agreement along with the pups.

"Yeah, we're your family and you're all ours," Bear agreed.

"To the end!" Benji declared happily.

"We owed you and your friends and husband our lives when you came to each of us in our hour of need, nobody's ever done such nice things for us before, during, or after the war against those rocket meatheads. We may have put an end to Team Rocket but our lives with you don't stop there, they never will," Ranger put in, giving Alternate Sarah a soft smile.

"There will be other villains, other crimes to protect the world from. Some people will be looking to take advantage of this newfound peace we've all been fighting for, something we know your double knows all too well," said Swan Song.

"We want to help, too, Mommy!"

"We don't wanna leave you and Daddy, forever!"

"We wanna stay here with you!"

"We need you just as you need us," Amber, Sunlight, Luci, and Rainbow piped up as Amina and Blizzard nodded in agreement.

"Sarah, you've given up so much for our sake just as your friends and your man did just to save us and those who still have a future in this world. And, in that time, along with your twin and her posse, you've also taught us what truth, honor, and real courage are all about, we can't throw all of that away by leaving you guys," Nagiji said.

"In other words, you can't get rid of us!" Prince snarked cheekily as everybody laughed heartily.

Alternate Sarah was touched by what she had heard from her family and even her friends couldn't hold back their sentimentality in knowing their leader's extended family of creatures, dragons, and ponies that had suffered so much from Alternate Team Rocket's monstrosity and evil machinations all chose to stay, seeing her as their own second chance at life. They were all very happy for them as they watched her and her family come together for a group hug, reaffirming their love for each other and their promise to stay together along with their friends until the very end no matter what. Her creatures, dragons, and Pokemon were here to stay, and in their minds, the potential promise of true peace by somehow joining her double and her own party in their world wasn't going to tear them apart, not if they had anything to say about it.

Satisfied with what he was hearing and after wiping his tears away, Alternate Race turned to Commander Cynthia and her officers as he explained, "Yeah, I hate to break the sentimentality but we better get going."

"I'm sorry, going where?" asked another officer curiously.

"We have no idea."

"Basically, we'll just go wherever the wind takes us."

"And besides, somewhere out there, there's another part of a whole new world waiting to be reborn," smiled Alternate Mallow, Alternate Kiawe, and Alternate Sophocles.

"We'll come back to Twinlife City when we're tired, it will always be our home now but we'll be alright as long as we're together," added Alternate Lillie, smiling.

"Together forever, no matter how long," finished a content Alternate Lana with a nod.

The commander and her officers smiled warmly and with acceptance as the second officer that spoke said, as he shared a handshake with Alternate Sarah, "Well, alright then. Just don't make us have to come out there and save you when you get into trouble."

The heroes smiled as they all shared handshakes and hugs with their former comrades and prepared to head off for their vacation.

As the heroes boarded the Ohana Motorhome and Carriage, Alternate Sarah looked to Commander Cynthia and smiled as she said, "Commander...? ...Thanks."

The commander smiled and gave a nod as she and her officers all watched the former Power Rangers RPM Ninjetti drive off (with Alternate Sarah at the wheel and Alterante Race on the lookout in the Motorhome's passenger seat), waving goodbye to them and later returning to the celebrations with the commander smiling at the morphers in her suitcase as she safely locked it and left them there as she took it back to her headquarters, knowing that as everyone's painful journey in the two-year war against Alternate Team Rocket was over, the story of their new world and era of peace was only just beginning.

The same can be said for the heroes as they made their way through the peaceful wastelands that no longer hold any form of danger now that Alternate Team Rocket was gone forever. Along with their Pokemon, the dragons, and the creatures with them, all of them shared loving, warm, sentimental, and content smiles as they prepared to live their new lives to the fullest without living in constant fear anymore.

They continued on their way until they came to the site where a familiar junkyard stood and a familiar set of sunflowers remained in its original spot before the heroes saw it and smiled upon stopping and exiting the motorhome and carriage to check it out, the junkyard wet as there had been signs of showers that occurred before they arrived. Sighing happily at the foremost sign of new life in their world, Alternate Ash and Pikachu poured some water from a water bottle onto it.

They then noticed several more sunflowers sprouting nearby along with some birds singing beyond a nearby wet sand dune behind them which is actually restored soil and followed them to find what looked like a newly-flourished mountain forest that had many sunflowers and a beautiful lake amidst a vast mountain landscape in the distance.

"It's beautiful..."

"It's like our world is the phoenix itself, rising from the ashes to begin anew..." Alternate Sarah and Alternate Race smiled as they did their best to hold in their tears of joy while the others were left in blissful awe and amazement at the promise of a brand new peaceful world.

Their hopes for the future and their happiness at seeing their world on the road to recovery grew as they saw Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina above them in the distance, nodding at them and leaving for the Reverse World and their respective dimensions, all of them satisfied that the heroes' world is ready for everybody-people, Pokemon, creatures, and dragons alike-to thrive and prosper in cooperation and harmony once more.

The exciting, wonderful world of Pokemon; a group of the most unusual and fascinating creatures, teaming with mystery and beauty unlike anything we've ever seen before. And so, for our heroes in their own homeworld, the future they salvaged promises a lot more bonding between people and Pokemon as the journey continues!
