------

Kona is very sad.

She cried her heart out on the day she left; this woman in her thirties was like a young girl who couldn't control her tears.

She knew Wu Ge was right, and she also knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise.

But she was still very sad.

In moments of impulsiveness, she might even say things like "I'm not getting married" in anger.

But she's an adult.

The price of growing up is having to compromise with life.

Besides, she chose to get married herself.

Kona can no longer act like she did when she was a child, going back on her word and refusing to admit it when she gets angry.

Life is fleeting.

Whether it's Wu Ge or Kona, it's all the same.

Lying in bed late at night, finally getting a moment to breathe, someone can hold their phone and read a novel.

A person who sits at a desk during the day, operating a computer and listening to reading on a mobile phone.

We are no longer the spirited young people we once were.

Wu Ge can no longer let Kona run wild.

Kona knew she couldn't do that anymore.

At 33, Cora will no longer stand atop the Quartz Plateau, proclaiming herself the best in the world, as she did at 16.

What can never be returned to is not just time.

Wu Ge has left the group.

That day.

He personally accompanied the ship and delivered Kona to the City of Glass.

This way.

Kona held onto Wu Ge's arm tightly and never let go.

Just like for the past two decades, Kona has carried a small Piplup wherever she goes.

At last.

Wu Ge watched as Mikoli took her away, sobbing uncontrollably.

He then rode the waves alone back to the fourth island.

one year later.

Kona's father fell seriously ill when he set sail, and after failing to receive treatment on the Kanto continent, he remained there.

A man who has spent half his life adrift at sea.

In the end, he neither slept in the familiar sea nor returned to his warm hometown.

Instead, he died quietly and alone in a foreign land, passing away in a hospital.

And at that time.

Kona was about to give birth.

Wu Ge and Kona's mother didn't tell her about this.

Kona's mother has difficulty walking and cannot travel far.

So Wu Ge went to the Kanto continent himself, brought Kona's father back, and allowed his soul to return to his homeland.

Not long after.

Kona's baby was born.

She was a little girl with red hair who looked very energetic.

Kona's mom said.
She looks a lot like Cora when she was a child.

later.

Kona would bring the children back every few days.

She left her daughter with Wu Ge while she stayed with her mother.

The sudden loss of her father without her knowledge was a huge blow to Conner.

She was scared.

one day.

He was suddenly informed of his mother's passing.

or.

Wu Ge's passing.

Another five years have passed.

A tremendous upheaval was felt in the Sinnoh region, even by Lorelei in Hoenn.

Despite having Wu Ge present.

But she returned to the fourth island immediately.

Fortunately.

The turmoil lasted only a few seconds before disappearing, having no impact on the fourth island.

Kona was 39 years old that year.

She sat next to Wu Ge and told him a lot about her new family.

How's my husband's work? How's the child's school? What happened at the neighbor's house?
Wu Ge listened quietly, unable to get a word in edgewise.

in a blink.

Another ten years have passed.

70-year-old Cona's mother became a vegetable due to a stroke.

One night, three years after Wu Ge had taken care of her.

Kona's mother opened her eyes, looked at the little penguin lying by the bed, and softly called out, "Bogarman, you've had a hard time all these years," before reaching out to stroke his head.

When Wu Ge woke up the next day.

He only saw his hands being held tightly in Kona's arms, and Kona had already quietly fallen silent.

From that day onwards.

In this once incredibly warm and loving little family.

Only Wu Ge remained.

He sat alone on the shore of the Fourth Island for a very long time.

until the next day.

He cleaned the house, locked the door, and walked away with a backpack.

Wu Ge did not go looking for Kona.

Kona now has a new family.

In that family, he was not familiar with anyone except Cona.

He was a guest there.

So he didn't want to go.

He didn't even tell Connery about his departure, nor where he was going.

Possible
Wu Ge was probably a little angry too.

It's frustrating that during the last period of Conner's life, Conner didn't come back to spend much time with her.

When leaving the fourth island.

He turned his head and took one last look at the small island.

now.

No one here will wait for him to come back.

Heading north.

In the year 220 of the League Calendar, Wu Ge arrived at Poplar Town in the Sinnoh region.

The world's largest musical instrument, and also the venue for the Poplar Festival, the Tower of Time and Space is located in the center of this city.

The movie, 'The Tower of Time: Dialga vs. Palkia vs. Darkrai,' takes place here.

Wu Ge came here.

That's because he learned some news from the World Tree.

Lucario.

He died more than a decade ago.

He died in the time war in Baiyang Town.

that year.

The tremor Wu Ge felt was the aftershock of Dialga and Palkia's battle. Ash of this world did not arrive in Ashtown when the Time Gods went to war.

There was no main character involved.

That would have been a devastating blow to Baiyang Town.

If no one is carrying the burden.

Then Baiyang Town will disappear from the world.

Lucario, together with Darkrai, battles the Time God in order to save everyone and all the Pokémon there.

His disciple, Yaxuan, and another Lucario took over the tasks that Ash, Dawn, and their friends were originally supposed to do.

At last.

The clash between the Roar of Time and the Void Rift created a spatial-temporal turbulence powerful enough to engulf the entire town of Baiyang.

Lucario, in order to save everyone and his disciple
He used all his waveguides to seal the spacetime turbulence, and finally died from exhausting his waveguides.

now.

More than ten years have passed.

Baiyang Town has recovered its vitality.

Statues of Lucario and Darkrai are everywhere in the city, and the Aura Maker and the Nightmare God have become a religion in Aspen Town.

Wu Ge wandered aimlessly through the bustling town of Baiyang.

I've lived through so many lifetimes.

He was somewhat at a loss as to what to do next.

Family members passed away one after another.

Wu Ge had thought that at least Lucario would stay with him for a while.

But life is unpredictable.

He never got to see Lucario again.

Wu Ge looked up at the towering Time Tower in the center of the city. He approached it step by step, climbing the spiral staircase upwards.

He could feel it.

More than a decade ago, Lucario stepped onto this path.

Resolute and determined.

We arrived at the top of the Tower of Time and Space.

The azure sky and warm breeze surrounded Wu Ge.

Under the sun.

At the top of the Tower of Time and Space, a gleaming blue flower bud shines.

"The Flower of Time"

Wu Ge lightly touched the ground with her feet and floated to the side of the flower bud.

He reached out and gently touched the flower bud with the power of waveguide.

next moment.

The flower buds burst into brilliant blue blossoms, and the scene Wu Ge saw suddenly changed.

The sky was utterly dark, and Baiyang Town was in ruins.

The song called 'Oración' quietly echoed in my ears.

Dialga and Palkia stood silently in the distant sky, staring blankly at the scene.

But Wu Ge didn't see them.

He gazed silently at Lucario, who lay listlessly on the ground, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Lord Wu Ge, I'm sorry, I can't go back."

"But I don't regret it, because I know that if you were here, you would have done the same."

"Don't be sad, I won't die, I'm just going back to Lord Aaron's side."

"There is one thing that has been puzzling me."

Lucario raised his arm to cover his eyes, gritted his teeth, and asked with a hint of resentment:
"Have I become a qualified Aura Hero?"

The illusion vanished.

When Aaron sealed it more than a thousand years ago.

He is still just a wave guide apprentice and has not yet been awarded the title of Wave Guide Hero.

The 'waveguide apprentice' has always been something Lucario cares about a lot.

Wu Ge stood quietly in place, casually raising his hand to wave.

The sky gradually darkened, and patches of dark clouds gathered at the top of the Tower of Time and Space.

A light drizzle fell gently.

The slap on Wu Ge's face brought him to his senses a little.

"You are already a worthy and respectable Aura Hero."

Wu Ge smiled and gently placed his hand on his chest.

"Waveguide, residing in our hearts."

The main character is not allowed to cry.

Fortunately.

The sky often seems to bring rain at just the right time.

At this time.

Whether the tears or water streaming down Wu Ge's face is no longer important.

At this time.

A figure appeared out of thin air in the sky behind Wu Ge.

That was Darkrai, the guardian deity of Ashtown.

He watched Wu Ge's retreating figure, quietly bowed, and then disappeared from the spot.

Wu Ge stood still.

Until someone discovered his existence.

He silently turned and left with his backpack on.

This time.

He really didn't know where to go.

Wu Ge wanders the world, searching for traces that may have been left behind by Masked Cat.

Many people have said that.

I once saw an Emperor Naboo standing alone, gazing at the sky, lost in thought for hours on end.

Like some elderly people, they always look up at the sun until the very end of their lives.

Seems confused.

When will I be free from this burden in my life?

in a blink.

Thirty-five years have passed.

Wu Ge followed his usual route and traveled around the world.

Finally, we arrived at this small fourth island.

He had no intention of setting foot there.

But I couldn't control my body.

The fourth island is like a small island forgotten by time.

More than half a century has passed since I first came here.

But the town has always looked the same.

The vegetable market was still filled with the shouts of uncles and aunties.

The beach was still filled with the sounds of children chasing and playing.

only.

One group of people after another came and went.

Walking along familiar streets, strolling towards the little house that used to be called home.

When I got to my doorstep.

Wu Ge stood there stunned for a long time.

He sensed a very familiar feeling in the house.

"Kona?"

Wu Ge murmured something, his tired eyes slightly opening.
