For clarification, their is only a SINGLE black chain link/loop on Necro's choker/collar, but a full length of chain DOES fully materialize in Arial's hands when Arial/Spiritmon started talking about it (physical and/or mentally). You had the instinctive feeling that the full chain appears based on your will/desires, and that its invisible to most other people and Pokemon, so for all intents and purposes your control over the humanized Ultra beast is practically undetectable on a casual glance. Zuryk certainly thought of everything when it came to keeping Necrozma on a leash both literally and discretely!
It should also be noted that Dragonfighter and Blooderfly were rather agitated and antsy with you touching Riza's body at first, as they really didn't have much reason to trust/like the madman that much now that their mistress was dead due to giving her life for you. With the Dark Goddess' reassurances that the cuddlebug would be resurrected, the viscous bug became notably more calm/tame , looking visibly relieved and almost tearful that she was going to be alright after all. Of course, it didn't cause them to suddenly bow down in supplication to them, nor being hostile and wary towards them to a degree, but you could tell they were at least grateful for the miracle they were going to preform. No telling how they'll react when the Vampire is unmade, but for now they were amenable to you leading them around.
You were able to easily recall Gaspar and the rest of the Pokemon, though in the case of your now big brother his Pokeball briefly went on the fritz as he was being sucked back in, due to the capture device being unused to such a large quantity of data, but it quickly sorted itself out and work as normal for the most part. Bring up your brother's Summary would still show/register it as a Duplicat, but that might as well be a happy accident, considering how much Nurse Joys/The Leagues would freak out if they found out your were packing Legendary firepower! So, horray?

As you posed your question to the Pokemon, each of them had their own answer.
Melchoir let out a short affirmative *RAAR!* , his posture tired but still primed and ready for any action, should it come. He was ready for this task to end, so his family may finally rest easily. The future may be wild and dangerous (especially with Necrozma around), but for the rest of the night their would only be peace and love. No matter the challenges and trails he may face, he'll stand up to them and drive them back, tooth and nail, with his family! That's what matters most!
Baltazar nodded once and floated over to your side, using its telekinetic powers to help you out by lifting Necrozma off the ground and carry her to the portal. It certainly had its fill of excitement for one lifetime frantically guard his team from a mad god of light, let alone the rest of the frankly ludicrous events it and its brothers ended up tangled up in, so some respite sounded quite good about now. Still....despite it all, it had enjoyed everything in their own way and learned so much from it, so perhaps everything that occured was not so bad in hindsight. One thing was for certain to it, though: the future was only going to get more interesting from then on - something it found itself looking forward, strangely enough.
Asura just thumped his chest twice, before resting a fist across his heart. The War of the Light and Dark was over, and they were the victors. It was time for them to return home with the spoils of their victory, and begin planning for things yet to come. For the battle they endured and struggled through was just that: a battle, blown up to epic proportions. There would be more trails and tribulations for his vassal and his kingship, so they must - no, they would be ready for them.
Airimid gave you a more that a slightly worried look after her kind gaze swept over you a couple of times, then Necro, before she let off an heavy *SIGH* of relief, smiled, and nodded. When she first came into your care, all she expected to do was being the primary health care provider and medic for quirky but good hearted trainer on his adventures- which she could naturally excel at with great enthusiasm! What she ended getting far exceeded her wildest imagination. Participating in a heated and hectic duels, supporting a raid on an abandoned laboratory filled with glowing green feral beasts, and battling against a mad god of light that now was her master's human slave, oh my! Frankly, she was finding all of that action in such a short time a bit overwhelming (Even for her!), but never the less she would persevere and not give up, continuing to do her utmost to care for her team with a caring smile no matter what!
Zeus.....well, they just let out high pitch *Zzzt!* that managed to sound perky, excited, yet exhausted as they wobbled in mid-air, twirling their magnets at their accomplishments today! Not only had they braved the terrors of the NFR today, but they fought against a borderline literal GOD, and it was all so AWESOME! It hardly expected his life to become so chaotic and fernetic , nor that it would like it so much, but it was like feeding on a nice source of electricity - once they got a taste, they couldn't have enough! Sure, they get pretty banged up for all the trouble his master gets them into, but he's a Sturdy ferromagnetic juggernaut , so he can take all the abuse and still have a blast! Once they were rested up, they'd be ready for the next challenge, so bring it on, *Zzzztttt!*
Blooderfly and Dragonfighter's reactions have already been stated, so I won't elaborate on them, other than the fact they were quite eager to get going, so that their mistress is alive and well once more!
And so with everyone's argeement, you all enter the portal, and are transported home, with it closing behind you and dispersing into the Darkness of this world you left behind, forevermore

- ......And so the annals of history have changed, said _____
A figure stood off in the distance, cloaked in raiments of muted purple with bright silver swirling patterns, unnoticed by all, even them. A book with a worn leather cover was open in their hands, their gaze resting on its contents, before looking over to where Arial and his coalition departed back to their universe and closing it with a muted *thump*
- For better, or for worse? I know not. The only thing I know for certain is that it will have far reaching ramifications, now and yet to come, they mused, passively continuing its observations.
- ......I just hope you know what you're scheming and sowing, and are ready to handle the consequential fruits that grow from this planting of yours, Zuryk, demured the figure, putting away their book somewhere on their person, before turning around.
- ......Safe travels and good fortune, Mad Prophet, said _____
Then, they walked away, the figure slowly fading away with every step they took, until they were gone.
Quote:When Arial enter the portal, he feel his body accelerate, like a turbo car. He see all kinds of things though that portal, in a myriad raindow carrousel of madness, until he finally hit his floor in with his back. He feel still very much broken and tired after such battle, and this hit in the back was the pin of such thing. He finally stand up with Riza still in his arms, and all Pokemon finally descending from the portal. "In the name of the son of darkness....This is the last time I take portals and teleports...I alwayd ending up hitting something. Is anyone alright?"
Arial check if everyone is okay and counscious. Both his and Riza Pokemons. He also check around the place they are now...along with Riza situation...and the chained Legendary he was witth him.
Everyone was more or less alright from their trip through the portal, if a bit discombobulated like you were (Though Zeus seemed to enjoy the feeling, at least). In fact, they seemed better than every, with all their injuries and fatigue having seemingly been left behind in the Dark world you left behind, so you could say they were better than ever before!
Necro......she was splayed out on her back, arms and legs spread wide. Her eyes were still closed and her breathing was slow, indicating she was still passed out from her ordeals. Whether that is a good thing or not will be left to the madman.
Riza, though......
The moment you check on the love of your life, you felt your breath catch in your throat.
Within your arms, was your precious cuddle bug, whole and in one piece. Alive. Her eyes were closed, and she was slumbering peacefully, like no misfortune had ever befallen her this night.
In a way, you could was more than just that.
For Riza Bete you knew no longer was.
She was human.
Her skin tone was lightly tanned but pale, and was smooth and unblemished. Her hair was a dusty, dirty pale blond, short, and straight that splayed out as her head dangled daintly.
A few seconds later, her eyes slowly blinked opened. They were the color of freshly made toffee, with flecks of amber scattered throughout.
Riza looked upon you, her gaze unfocus, sleepy, but well. She then extend a hand, and lightly cupped your cheek.
"......Arial."
Her voice......oh her voice. It was light and airy like a feather, and just as soft on your ears. It was so very faint too, but whether than was natural or from it disuse remained to be determined.
"Arial......you're okay. I'm......so......glad."
She smiled at you with her full, thin lips, her dainty nose wrinkling as she did, before her eyes closed again and she drifted off into a deep slumber, one that she would not awaken from for quite awhile, judging by how quickly she conked out.
Throughout the Flower Festival, you've seen and been apart of all sorts of things that defied even your warped comprehension and tested your cracked mind and patience.
You were forcibly assigned to be a bodyguard to Reiner, the least humorous,most stern, and a fairly intolerant person you had to work with, and had to assist him in all sorts of wacky and/or perilous tasks/events, whom threatened you on multiple occasion and once even detained you against your will.
You helped him track down The Vampire, only to end up being kidnapped by her and taking her down yourself later on, and against all odds and logic you two ended up falling in love with each other.
You had to relive some of your worst nightmares by venturing into the irradiated hellhole that was the NRF, and ended up bearing witness to Mew blowing it up in a manner that closely resembled a nuclear blast itself, in both its destruction and aftermath - its a wonder you don't have/can't get PTSD from that alone.
You were nearly blown to hell by a Delta Muck and ended up getting further tangled up with a Dark God, who had sent you visions of the future prior to that moment, revived you then after putting you through emotional trauma that would be fit for Tartarus , and since then proved to be a most enigmatic figure that had no end of amusement toying and helping you for whatever ends it had.
Finally, and most recently, you bargained with that very same shady entity for your love's humanity back, and ended up having to take down a G o d o f L i g h t that was made your slave, had your mimic brother permanently turned into the Legendary Solgaleo, and learning so much about the nature and meaning of your existence and those beyond that it would have driven you completely insane, were you not already made as mad as starved ferret.
In a few word, you could say the vast majority of this week has been uniquely maddening, weird, and chaotic.
As you looked down upon Riza, your love, though, most of what happened to you suddenly didn't matter so much or seem so bad.
Right now, you had your entire family with you and lover, safe, sound, and better than ever from the crap you've all been put through. That's the only thing that matters right now.
The future? To hell with it! You'll deal with it as you always do: with a crazed grin, a whole lot of attitude and good humor, and your family of Pokemon.
Well, not exactly.
You have Riza with you, after all, and she has you.
Your pasts were a mess. Your futures were undecided. But the present? Tonight?
Tonight......you're gonna have a real good time.
