To be honest, wtwo's sudden change in attitude surprised even Kai.
However, it also indicated that while wtwo's personality might be intense and paranoid, it wasn't inherently evil.
It had been blinded by hatred, but once it glimpsed the beauty of the world, its convictions began to waver.
After considering for a mont, Kai responded, "What do you want to know?"
There was a mont of silence before wtwo asked, "Who are you? How do you know my na? And why do you seem to possess so much knowledge about the future?"
Kai couldn't help but ntally grumble, 'Why so many questions at once? Are you a living Pokédex or sothing?'
Still, the fact that wtwo asked such questions suggested it hadn't fully extracted his mories earlier.
'Now, how do I handle this? Fool it? No... maybe I should answer its doubts tactfully.' Kai's thoughts raced. He didn't answer imdiately but instead glanced at Ash, Misty, and Brock.
At this mont, everyone, including their Pokémon, seed dazed. Under the influence of the glowing particles drifting in the air, mories of what had happened here were gradually fading from their minds.
The glowing particles were even spreading beyond the island, carried by the wind and their effect seed to be intensifying.
After deliberating for a mont, Kai smiled and said, "I can answer your questions, but before that, I think it's better to send Ash and the others back to the mainland."

Vermilion City Port
A fierce wind swept through the harbour, with massive waves crashing against the lighthouse. Spray from the waves splattered onto the pier, the salty scent mixing with the humid air.
The passenger hall was crowded with trainers and their Pokémon. The air inside was thick, a blend of seawater, rain, and the distinct odours of various Pokémon.
Ash groggily opened his eyes, surprised to find himself lying on a bench. Rubbing his eyes, he glanced around and saw Misty, Brock, and Kai sitting nearby.
"Why was I asleep?" he murmured, still half-dazed and unable to piece together what had happened.
Everything felt eerily familiar, as though he were replaying events from yesterday a sensation akin to déjà vu.
Beside him, Misty and Brock stretched and yawned, also waking up.
"This is strange. Why are we here?" Misty asked, her brow furrowed.
Kai leaned back lazily and replied, "You were probably tired. Didn't we take shelter here to wait out the storm?"
Ash and the others exchanged uncertain glances. Sothing felt off, but they couldn't pinpoint what.
Misty rubbed her temples, trying to piece together the fragnted mories. "But... this is Vermilion City, isn't it? How did we even get here? And, Kai, why are you with us?"
Kai chuckled, feigning nonchalance. "Didn't you say you'd co find here after earning all your Gym Badges? I ca to pick you up at the port! What's the matter? Slept too long and forgot everything?"
The explanation seed plausible enough to Ash and the others, though a vague sense of unease lingered.
Their thoughts were interrupted by a commotion nearby.
In the middle of the bustling hall, Officer Jenny and a sailor, Porter, were surrounded by a crowd of trainers and passengers. Among them were the three trainers Ash had fought alongside on New Island.
"Attention, everyone!" Officer Jenny's authoritative voice carried over the noise. "The storm has temporarily suspended all ferry services. Please remain patient the port will reopen as soon as the weather clears!"
"Officer Jenny is right," added another voice.
The crowd parted, revealing Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center.
"But don't worry!" Joy said with a reassuring smile. "Our Pokémon Center will provide free als and accommodation for everyone for as long as the storm lasts."
Remarkably, Joy's sudden reappearance didn't surprise anyone, even though she had previously gone missing.
When Kai glanced at a nearby bulletin board, the missing person notice for her was gone.
Under wtwo and w's combined powers, not only had the island's events been erased from everyone's mories, but all traces of the incident had been rewritten almost as if it had never happened.
'w and wtwo…' Kai mused. True to their nas, they wield powers that feel like dreams.
Other than Kai and his Pokémon, it seed no one in the world rembered what had occurred on New Island.
Suddenly, Ash ran to the window and pointed at the sky. "Look! What Pokémon is that?"
Kai and the others hurried to the window. Among the thick clouds, a figure darted at incredible speed.
It was too far away to make out clearly, but Kai imdiately recognized it as wtwo.
Before leaving, Kai had shared a lengthy conversation with wtwo. He had revealed so truths, though he chose his words carefully.
When wtwo asked how Kai knew so much, he admitted he wasn't from this world.
To Kai's surprise, wtwo accepted the concept of ti travel with ease. His Haunter, however, was less convinced, staring with wide eyes and an exaggerated expression, as though trying to swallow a basketball.
wtwo's hostility faded during their discussion, and it even acknowledged Kai as a friend soone who, like itself, didn't truly belong to this world.
Before departing, wtwo had solemnly promised, "If you ever face difficulties in the future, call on for help."
While gaining wtwo's friendship was a delight, it was w that captivated Kai's curiosity.
Not only was w adorable, but its strength was extraordinary; maybe in future, when he was powerful enough, he could catch it.
Kai felt certain their paths would cross again. Sowhere on his journey, in so far-off corner of the world, he would et w once more.
