With the help of the Six Heroes, Pagogo transforms into its Stellar Form and purifies the Rakurium on Rakua, leaving Gibeon to reflect on his unfulfilled goals. Amethio vows to continue his path without relying on the Rakurium. Gibeon entrusts the future to him and the next generation. As Gibeon and Lucius pass on, the Six Heroes are freed, but Spinel uses Rakurium mist to make them go berserk. He declares that the Explorers will take over Rakua. The Rising Volteccers are unable to stop the chaos and must escape with the help of the Black Rayquaza. As they try to leave, Liko loses Lucius' belt and notebook, and the situation worsens when Friede and Lizardon fall off the Brave Asagi, leaving their fates unknown. A year later, Liko reflects on the past, while Spinel becomes the new director of Exceed, framing the Rising Volteccers for Rakua's collapse. Roy, now with a newly obtained shiny Lucario and a Mega Ring, sets out to find someone important.
