"Maybe he needs a vacation," said Ash, shrugging as he patted the slumbering legendary. "The last time I saw him, Hoopa Unbound's dark power had controlled him, and he was real apologetic about that after all. But before that, he was in danger from Zero, and he also protected me, Dawn and Brock from a enraged Arceus."

"It's funny... I always was kind of worried about bringing up the past because so much has happened. But in Alola, nothing crazy or bad had happened involving legendaries from the past. But when Kalos happened, and legendaries kept popping out of the woodwork, I thought Alola would be a nice vacation from what happened."

Ash sighed a little, shaking his head. "Turns out, Alola's still the best thing that happened to me. Even if my plans had changed in the end."
