Pokemon Pearl - Chapter 40

Later at afternoon, as the sun sets, Rico and his parents came back to the park, only to be greeted by the city folks, congratulating him for saving their precious city. Rico was stunned, didn’t not expect that will happen. Santiago ran to him and commented in enthusiasm, “Wow, Rico, you’re a hero.”

“Yeah, kid,” an ice cream vendor brightly added in commenting.

“Wow, Rico, you’re so cool and good,” Rico’s teacher responded brightly. Rico then walked towards Tommy, who was angry and not looking at him. Rico then looked worried about him. This follows a short silence for a minute, and then reluctantly give him a handshake, saying, “Well, you’re good at this.” Rico then smiled in approval and happiness.

Later at the park’s activity stage, as Rico walked towards it, the festival band climbed downstairs and commented to Rico, “Woah, Titus, you’re so cool!”

“Yeah,” the female guitarist added in happiness while fixing her hair, “You’re so cool.”

“Thanks,” Rico happily responded.

Later as the twilight ends, and as the night began to darken, the park and festival lights are turned on, and the festival band began to rock their song, “Xatu of the future.” The audience cheered for them great in exciting enthusiasm. And as the drummer hits his sticks, the band began performing in loud, orderly music, with great tune as well. The singers sang their said song in greatness as the audience cheered for them. Rico, Lucas, Rosario, Campillo, Solana, Lunick, and their Pokémon are cheering and rocking out, but not too hard. They were happy, after all that happening and disasters. And as they rock in goodwill and happiness, Rico suddenly saw Blue Ninja and his two Pokémon next to a tree. In response, Rico excused himself through the crowd and ran to Blue Ninja.

“It’s… It’s you again,” Rico greeted him in stunning, “You with Arceus in my dream.”

“Heh, that’s right,” Blue Ninja in style. His two Pokémon then responded in serious happiness, “You are one brave kid.”

“Uh, thanks,” Rico replied while scratching his head in apology a bit. After scratching, Rico continued, “Anyway, just who are you? Are you a good guy?”

“Heh, you’ll find out very soon,” Blue Ninja retorted in style. He then threw a smoke bomb to the ground, causing it to explode and emitted a red explosion, causing Rico to cough. Once the smoke clears, Blue Ninja and his team had disappeared into thin air. After coughing, Rico was stunned at Blue Ninja’s disappearance.

“What? Again?” he thought in stunning, “I think I have to, in the future.” Calming down, Rico then looked at a direction up to the sky as mild, swift winds blow through the night festival scene and the band kept performing.

Meanwhile, in the same time, Detective Trevor and Ben arrived at their home regions by plane. Ben’s professor greeted him in the doorstep.
