Conquering Evil

Hello? Yes, it's me.

Hmph. I figured as much. This mission is a failure. Time to retreat.

What...?

Apparently, once Hoopa regained its senses, the Legendary Pokémon it had summoned all disappeared.

We've managed to capture a few Ultra Beasts, but that's not enough to overcome the sync pairs of Pasio on top of the other organizations.

Perhaps I could take you down here if we continued battling, but that would be pointless.

Hmph. What a poor example I'm setting for my subordinates. How will I face them now?

You're not the type to give up like that.

You say that, but you probably have your next plan in mind already...

don't you?

Yes, that is true.

This operation did prove useful to me in the end. There will be other opportunities.

I can't give up on taking over Pasio just yet.

Then I won't give up, either.

On destroying all evil in the world?

No.

There's evil in everyone's heart, to some degree.

Sometimes they even think it's "justice."

That's why it's not possible to destroy all of it.

There are as many types of evil in this world as there are people. I'll figure out how to deal with that.

If force isn't gonna work, I'll combat evil with another kind of power, one that comes from the heart.

That's what true strength is, and that's how I'll protect the things that are important to me.

Even if I can only stop it now with force...

One day, I'll conquer all evil, with my heart!

And that includes you.

I see...

How much strength will you obtain, I wonder.

I suppose that's something I should look forward to.

Time passed. Then one day...

Scottie... Thank you again.

I've decided to work with the International Police. Looker will supervise my probation.

Yeah. I know it's sudden, but...

Haha... Yeah, even I'm surprised.

That said, I'm not going to be officially affiliated with them.

Paulo's learned a lot from all of those villainous organizations.

I'd like him to make use of what he's learned to help us protect the weak and face evil.

I think it could also help you on your path towards your ideals, Paulo.

Thank you, Looker. I'm sure it must've been difficult to arrange that for me...

Not at all! It's a breeze for me to convince even the most hardheaded bosses!

Yeah, but you sure got a good earful when you were on the phone with them!

H-hey, Emma! You didn't have to mention that!

Well...I guess we can't take back what's been said. It was as you guessed, Paulo.

In this case, Nanu and I also stepped in to help make this happen, and it wasn't easy.

But that's how much we want to support you and your feelings, Paulo.

I am aware this puts some pressure on you, but I'm looking forward to working together.

Thank you!

So this is where you were, Paulo.

Oh...

I...I need to apologize to both of you again. I...

Allow me to thank you for bringing Hoopa back.

B-but that was all caused by my...

Even so, you saved Hoopa. Don't worry about it.

Or do you really think I'm THAT petty?

Lear... Hoopa...

Furthermore, you also drew out Hoopa's strength, even if imperfectly.

If you don't use that skill of yours to its fullest here on Pasio, it'll be...inconvenient.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

OK! Now that you know everyone's cheering you on, why don't we do some training?

Yeah. Good idea!

Let's do this, and have a fun Pokémon battle!

Well, then...

I wonder how my next scheme will turn out...
