Satoshi, you must not abandon Pikachu, no matter what!
-Lucario,
"Mew and the Wave-Guidance Hero Lucario", 2005
Thanks to the Time Flower having projected a scene from the past, Satoshi learned that it was true that Aaron had sealed Lucario away.
As he apologized to Lucario for the harsh things he told it, not realizing at the time how Lucario felt, Lucario says these words.
This quote was submitted by "Aaron", who included the following comment:
Even though Lucario's words imply the possibility is there, Satoshi knows he will never walk away from Pikachu no matter what. I think there are similarities to this year's movie here as well.
