Coalition

In the aftermath of the battle, Leaf is terrified to find Red collapsed and unresponsive on the stairwell. Jean senses that Red's mind is violently reacting to the overwhelming grief he absorbed from the ghost, leaving his partitions shattered and his thoughts fragmented. Before the situation escalates, Elite Agatha arrives. She assesses the damage and carefully repairs Red's mind, scolding him for carelessly attempting to project someone else's emotions without proper training. Upstairs, Blue comforts a guilt-ridden Jason, who blames himself for provoking the ghost and getting people killed. Blue offers Jason a post-mortem ritual to acknowledge his mistakes and process the loss of the four Rangers, though Jason resolves to step back from leadership roles entirely. When Agatha, Professor Oak, and the rest of the group converge on the top floor, they discover a chilling mystery: the bodies of the fallen Rangers—and all their pokemon—have completely vanished, teleported away by the ghost.

Red awakens hours later in his mother's Lavender Town apartment, relieved to find his partitions and psychic abilities functioning again. Blue arrives and eagerly pitches the idea of selling their story to a movie producer, seeing their victory over what he assumes is a newly born legendary pokemon as the perfect narrative arc to cement their public image. Red is uncomfortable with the arrogance of the claim, viewing the battle as a terrifyingly close call, while Leaf finds the idea exciting but daunting. The next day, during a massive coalition meeting led by Professor Oak, the group analyzes the tower defense tactics and the unique properties of the ghost. Leaf, privately worried about giving Sabrina and Giovanni too much control over psychic research, nervously confronts the Viridian Leader. She suggests diversifying the psychics involved in studying her new emotion-projection technique. Giovanni easily outmaneuvers her; he agrees immediately, praising her altruism while pointing out that she could charge a fortune for her time, leaving Leaf blushing in admiration at his sheer conversational dominance despite her wariness.

During the meeting, the coalition debates the origins of the new ghost. When Giovanni suggests blanket amnesty for whoever might have triggered its creation, the mayor hesitates, but the room agrees that understanding the threat outweighs punishing a potential crime. Artem suggests that the unown swarming the tower might be connected to the ghost's manifestation, though Red remains highly skeptical that such simple creatures could be responsible. The meeting concludes with Giovanni elegantly reframing the tragedy: the fallen Rangers bought the knowledge necessary to protect future generations, highlighting the core strength of human civilization—the ability to pass down knowledge and survive through community collaboration.
