**Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!** (Japanese: **ベストウイッシュ！また会う日まで！！** *Best Wishes! Until the Day We Meet Again!!*) is the 82nd and final episode of the second season of Magical Heart Beginnings, and also the final episode of the series as a whole.

## Summary

*As our heroes wrap up their adventure in Kanto, Nina realizes that now that Queen Vera is gone and Katrina is freed, the Magic Hearts are no longer needed. She and her friends all have plans of their own now: to relax and think about their futures. Of course, a Nightmare is close behind, and the heroes realize that they've forgotten about that Nightmare when they were 'active heroes!' During the battle, Iris reveals big news and then someone comes to help them...*

*After the battle, the time comes for the Magic Hearts to part. As they say goodbye, it’s a bittersweet moment as our heroes think back on all the adventures they’ve had together. But after a long journey, Nina finally realizes who she is truly meant to be...and the biggest choice she ever made will change everything...!*

## Plot

After Cure Supernova has saved a little girl from falling off a bridge, she de-transforms and heads home, still feeling guilty for her crimes as Event Horizon. As she heads back to her house, the Magic Hearts feel a sense of emptiness now that their mission is over and are jealous that she gets to keep her powers (as the Divinity's successor, them just going away is not an option.) However, in the Vermilion Hospital, Nina breaks down crying now that all the adventure and excitement is gone. She admits she actually enjoyed fighting the villains since she got to have powers and fight alongside her Pokémon, but all of that is now gone. On the other hand, Iris gets a message from Drayden and she realizes her role in the future is marked. In order to respect Nina, though, she decides not to tell anyone just yet and not potentially frighten her with her destiny.

The PokéPets, on the other hoof/paw, wish to tell their Trainers that they wish to move to Yumesora in Rose's memory, but do not have the guts to tell them yet. Thus, they instead go to Katrina's house to inform her first since she is knowledgeable about Yumesora. She says they should simply be straight-up honest about their wish without delaying it and sends them right back to tell their owners, since they're the ones they should be telling, not her. Pouting, they go back to their Trainers to inform them. Tep says he has something to tell Nina, but cannot bring himself to spit it out. Before he could try again anyway, she reassures him that even if they must part, they will always be friends. This reminds the two of the time Rose returned to Yumesora at the end of the previous season.

Just as they are about to leave, suddenly Glitter Starburst calls them, informing them there is a Nightmare possessing the Roche Èlèmen Spirit that appeared out of nowhere and is wreaking havoc in the forest. They sadly reply they can't transform anymore, but she tells them to get over there immediately and she'll temporarily bring back their powers for this fight. Little did anyone know, an unexpected surprise was waiting, as a man looking like a teenage boy has gotten there first. To everyone's shock, they learn that this 'boy', Jim Porter, is the GDI General. The goddess quickly gives them back their powers temporarily and they join him and his soldiers in the fight as well. Jim quickly punches the Nightmare, but gets himself damaged and quickly deactivates in order to save power. Annoyed, Cheren uses Hydro Beam to weaken the Nightmare. Nina then finishes it off with Glowing Miracle Strike, but it nearly knocks everyone out. With the Nightmare purified, everyone passes out from exhaustion, their PokéPilots disappearing.

After the battle, the heroes finally bid farewell to their PokéPets, with everyone trying to hold back their tears. The heroes, however, eventually get sick of faking it and they all break down crying together with the PokéPets. After everyone has a moment of flashbacks, Nina realizes what her fate was all along: she was already special from the start and the true future is to make dreams come true and achieve their own goals. About everyone realizes what Nina meant, and since she herself knew she would be going on a solo journey for a week, Nina starts crying even louder, attracting attention to Professors Oak and Juniper.

As Juniper calms Nina down, Oak reveals that Rose's death have caused the other Professors to find of the Dream Pixies' existence, but decided to help keep it secret. Lillie then says that she is going out on a very long journey to find her dad with her family and won't return until they find him. As Mallow and Lana share a heartbreaking hug with their departing friend, Jim suddenly comes and taunts Cheren. This causes sparks to fly against them and Nina manages to stop them, but she suddenly collapses, despite still being alive luckily. As a Star Portal appears, the PokéPets float into it and say their final wishes to their owners and friends, Tep even saying that "[he'll] always be in [Nina's] heart." As the portal disappears, Nina smiles with teary eyes.

Two days after returning to Unova, it is time for the Magic Hearts themselves to part. Nina reluctantly packs her bags and is still reluctant to leave her friends behind. Her friends and Katrina come to her house to bid her farewell, with the human Divinity assuring her that it has always been her destiny to make others' dreams come true and bring them hope, reminding her that her words managed to reach her as her villainous self because of that. Nina agrees and heads to the airport, but asks them to come along to see her off. Suddenly, the others realize they have to go either back to their home regions or go on a solo journey of their own, and they have to all make their goals come true. Lillie, in a formal dress for her occasion, says that they can't be late for Nina's flight, and Mallow adds that Lillie has to leave by ship in Alola two days after Nina's departure. Everyone quickly poses for a group picture, to remember each other by.

At the airport, everyone heads to see Nina board the plane. To her shock, Cheren kisses her gently, and Nina tears up, knowing that he *clearly* fell in love with her. He and the others then all give her a group hug before she gets on. As she waves to everyone as the plane takes off, a montage of each character's whereabouts is then shown: Lana is on a fishing expedition with her parents to find Manaphy, Mallow is helping her father and brother in Aina's Kitchen, Lillie and her family are searching for Mohn, Iris is the new Opelucid City Gym Leader, Glitter Starburst is helping Queen Cosmica and the PokéPets two days a week to raise some orphaned baby Dream Pixies whose parents were killed by her, Elio and Selene are off on a journey together, Bianca becomes the assistant of Professor Juniper and sees Cheren off on his own journey, Dawn, May, and Serena have become skilled Coordinators, Red and Green train together, Victor and his sister Fiona go camping with their parents, Calem is now exploring on his own, Brendan is now helping out more with his dad Professor Birch while Lucas does the same but with Professor Rowan, Ethan, Hilbert, Lyra and Gloria are traveling as a team in Jotho, Bella watches a wild Shaymin taking flight, and Hilda goes back to her duties as the manager of the BW Agencies. As the credits roll, the episode ends with Nina, now in another airport, smiling at the audience.

Meanwhile in another universe, an orange-haired girl and a blue rabbit look at an autographed photo of the Magic Hearts in a book. The girl smiles and leaves the book open as she goes out of her room.

## Trivia

* This episode was going to be the only episode where GaryBones has worked on this series, but an agreement was already made.
* This episode features the following flashbacks of the Magic Hearts:
	+ Rose plonking onto Nina's head. (MHB001)
	+ Rose returning to Yumesora. (MHB108)
	+ The Magic Hearts trying to chase the PokéPets down the street when they stole a car and tried to drive it. (MHB174)
	+ Lana handing out juice to people on a hot day.
	+ Mallow making an Ultra Beast happy with her cooking before it went back home.
	+ Nina holding out her hand to Event Horizon and telling her that she can do it. (MHB189)
* Professor Elm is the only Professor to not make a cameo during the montage scene.

### Easter Eggs

* This episode confirms that there is more than just the Pokémon universe, as Bloom and Kiko make a cameo at the end.
* A remastered cover of the ending theme heard in the games *Pokémon Black Version 2* and *Pokémon White Version 2* is heard in the last few scenes. Unlike the original, there is lyrics.
* The farewell scene (between the Trainers and Pocket Pets) resembles the farewell scene in the second-to-final *Healin' Good* episode of the Pretty Cure franchise.

### Differences between the anime and manga

* When Cheren kisses Nina gently, she passionately kisses him back right away in the manga instead of staring in shock for a few seconds, leaving a young girl in the airport disgusted and the heroes with sparkly eyes.
	+ Bianca even gushes over the whole thing, saying "OMG" loudly just to attract the attention of the child passenger. After she notices it, she quickly hits her with her purse, saying that "someone [her] age must NEVER EVER look at something like this." This is similar to what she did to a Team Plasma Grunt, though the line she says is different.

### Differences between the anime and novel

* Cheren and Nina do not share a kiss, with these lines replacing the scene:
	+ "'I...I love you Nini,' Cheren said with tears in his eyes. 'Renren... I love you too,' Nina replied to him. 'I always have ever since you said you'd cheer me on when I was going to compete in the Unova League.'"
