Post by bunniefuu »

Amethio, sir!
- Have we tracked it down?

Confirmed on my sensors too.
It's Rayquaza.

Bring us to the surface

and enter a holding pattern.
Yes, sir.

Corviknight!

Corviknight!

Let's go.

Our journey took us
on a search for Lapras.

And we found it.

But it didn't want much to do with us.

So we figured out
where it lived with its friends.

It was in that grotto that Terapagos
was able to get through to Lapras,

and Lapras decided to join us.

We were about to head back
to the ship when...

we suddenly had an unexpected encounter.

A Rayquaza!
What?

Fueco...

Hey, Rayquaza!

I've been looking for you
ever since we met.

Let's have a battle, you and me!
Fuecoco!

Pika?

Is it calling out to the other Heroes?

I see. Of the Six Heroes,
you were Lucius's most powerful partner.

Come on, Rayquaza, we're down here!

I hope it understands them.

Are we all gonna be okay down here?

It doesn't seem like
it's itching for a fight.

Corviknight! We're challenging Rayquaza!

I've been searching for you!
Now, I intend to catch you!

Go!

Ceruledge, use Psycho Cut!
Corviknight, use Air Slash!

Ceru!

What's going on?

Amethio?

Are you kidding me with this guy?

Ranged attacks would be ineffective.

Corviknight, take Ceruledge
and move in closer!

Ceruledge, use Psycho Cut!

Ceru!

Dodge it, Corviknight!

This is bad. Charizard!

Roy, are you all right?
- We saw Rayquaza first! This isn't--

Pikachu!
- Hey! Not now!

Rayquaza's right there!
- You can't!

Let me go! I've gotta see Rayquaza!

Friede!
- I'm not gonna--

Get everyone back to the ship
on the double!

Let's go, Roy!
Rayquaza! I'm down here!

Liko, you need to get back as well.

I don't understand.
It's one of the Six Heroes.

Terapagos is calling out to it.
- I'm aware.

But it's too worked up
to be reasoned with.

This is not the time.

Ceru...

Now bring it down! Use Bitter Blade!

Ceru...

Ceruledge, no!

It's too powerful.

Corviknight!

The Rising Volt Tacklers...

Roy, wait!

Rayquaza! Battle me!

Pikachu!
- Charizard, hit it Flamethrower now!

Go, Arcanine,
let's use Flamethrower as well!

Liko!

Fueco, Fueco, Fueco!

Look out, Roy!

Terapagos?

What's with the lights?
- It's so pretty.

What is this all about?
- Pika...

Truly fascinating.

It's the same form as...

Is all that gleaming due to an Evolution?
No. It can't be.

Terapagos!

Fueco?

Rayquaza's flying away...
- Fuecoco...

Quite the surprise party, huh?

The Explorers...?

Yeah. Based on the timing
of Amethio's arrival,

I don't think they were tailing us,
but still... I just don't like it.

I can't believe it.

It's gone. After all this searching...

Fueco...

Roy.
- Huh?

Let's get back to the ship.

Mm.

Grandma?

Yes. I'll be right there, dear.

It's not injured. It's just tired.

It gave its all
until it had nothing left to give.

I can watch over Terapagos tonight.
Try to get some sleep.

I've been dreaming of meeting it again
for so long.

But when the moment came,
it's like I wasn't even there.

It didn't consider me an opponent.

Well... Next time, I'm sure.
- Fueco...

Fuecoco?

So I guess we've confirmed

Terapagos is the Pokémon
Lucius mentioned in that journal of his.

I get the feeling it could be just
as strong as the Six Heroes.

What's interesting to me is that
after it used that power,

it reverted back into its original form.

Pika...

Is it just me or was it in that moment
Rayquaza saw it revert that it flew off?

Yeah, it's almost like it has no interest
in Terapagos' current form.

Perhaps Rayquaza was testing
the limits of Terapagos' power.

Terapagos awoke
after coming in contact with Arboliva.

It seemed to acquire more power when we
came across Galarian Moltres and Lapras.

Maybe it hasn't fully restored
its true power yet.

Aside from Rayquaza, we still have
two of the Six Heroes to track down.

There's Kleavor and then there's Entei.

That tells us what the next steps
in our adventure are.

Let's go find some Pokémon!
- Pika, Pika!

Gotta say. I really need to thank you.

And where is that sentiment coming from
all of a sudden?

When I decided to set out
and become a Pokémon Professor,

I wanted to face adventure head-on

and look for Pokémon
I'd never seen before.

Here we are, doing just that.

Interesting you should say that.
I've decided to face my own adventure

and give something I gave up
on years ago one more try.

I must ask...

Please look after Liko.
- Of course.

Wait a minute, what are you talking about?

Pika...

The time has come for me to part ways with
the crew and set off on my own journey.

Our run-ins with Lapras and Rayquaza
brought me peace of mind.

I'm more confident than ever that Liko
is safe with the Rising Volt Tacklers.

The thing is, something troubles me.

Huh?
- Remember when I told you that I met up

with an old friend and we had a chat?

That "old friend" is with the Explorers.

I need to do some investigating
and learn more.

Great! Let's do it!

A situation like this,
the fewer people, the better.

Besides, running with a pack
just isn't the way I go about things.

All right, I get it.

Pi...

You and the crew continue looking
for the Six Heroes,

then chart a course for Laqua.

I'm going to do a bit of digging

and find out why they were
after the pendant and now Terapagos.

I got you and everyone else into this.
I think this is the best way I can help.

You got it, Diana.
- Pika...

Excellent!

Now, I'd rather not go
and cause the crew any worry.

Could I trouble you
to keep this between us?

Sure, but if anything comes up,
don't hesitate to get in touch, all right?

Wait, you never got yourself
a Rotom Phone, did you? So, uh...

Machines and I don't get along.

If I need to, I can count on Squawkabilly.

Liko, Liko. Ancient castle. Liko.

Now, there's just one matter
I must attend to before heading out.

Hmm...

Liko...

Do you have a second?

Wonder what I have to do
to be able to battle Rayquaza?

Fueco?

Roy, a moment of your time?

You want us to battle you, Grandma?
- As in, both of us as a team?

That's the idea.

We went through
quite the ordeal yesterday.

I imagine you've got a lot on your minds.

Uh...

But you two scrappers
are fully fledged Pokémon Trainers.

And the best way to clear your head
and shake off the jitters

is to have a good battle!

Against my grandma?

Let's do it, Liko.

Fueco!

Good, then it's all decided!
- Arcanine!

Cap and I will be watching over this.
- Pika, Pika!

Let's see some action!
- Give it everything you got, you two!

Taken an interest, I see.

Roy and Liko versus Diana?

You don't miss that!

Plus, if I record it,
I might be able to help them learn.

Quaxly!

In order to win, you need
only land one attack on Arcanine.

We don't intend to make this easy.
So come at us with everything you've got!

Arcanine!

Okay, let's do this, Roy!

Sprigatito, use Leafage!

Arcanine, use Extreme Speed!

Sprigatito!
- Fuecoco, use Flamethrower!

Fuecoco!

Arcanine, use Flamethrower.

Fue...
Fuecoco!

Pika...

You're really not pulling any punches,
are you, Diana?

Arcanine, use Sunny Day!

Whoa! Looks like it's gonna be intense.
- The real fight's getting underway.

Let's go, Fuecoco. Use Stomping Tantrum!

Fueco! Fueco!

That move should be super effective
against Arcanine!

Pika, Pika!

Fuecoco!

So close!
- Sprigatito, use a lot of Leafage!

Burn those leaves up with Flamethrower!

Pika...

Looks like Sunny Day increased
Arcanine's power even more.

Come now! What's the matter?

This barely feels like
a pre-exercise warmup.

It's so strong.

Yeah, what'll we do?

Sprigatito?
Fuecoco?

Could this be because of Sunny Day?

Fueco!

I think Fuecoco's saying
that it's far from over.

This isn't the time to doubt ourselves,
is it, Sprigatito?

Fuecoco!

This is about to get exciting!
- Now is your time to shine, you two!

I think we should give this a try
using the Liko-Roy style.

Liko-Roy style. Let's do it.

Go! Go! Fuecoco!

Go! Go! Fuecoco! Go! Go! Fuecoco!
- Fueco, Fueco, Fuecoco!

Go! Go! Fuecoco!

Well, this is quite unexpected!

Sprigatito, use Leafage!

Don't think you can distract us!
Extreme Speed!

Sprigatito!
- Fuecoco, do a slide!

Fuecoco!

Sprigatito, Leafage!
- Fuecoco, use Flamethrower!

Arcanine! Counterattack with Flamethrower!

Interesting!

Try to stand strong, Fuecoco!

Sprigatito, now! Use Scratch!

We landed a hit!
- The Liko-Roy style getting it done!

Fuecoco!

Well, I definitely lost that one
fair and square.

Very nicely ex*cuted, you two.

You worked together and leaned
into the size of your Pokémon.

That was a really great strategy.

Arcanine seemed too powerful
to take head-on.

So Fuecoco drew its attention

while Sprigatito snuck in.
Not only that.

You realized the effect Sunny Day
was having, an astute observation.

Fuecoco was pretty amazing.
- Fueco!

And you landed the winning strike!

No matter how formidable your opponent,
there is always a way to battle them.

And so long as there's a way, a good
Trainer should never give up the fight.

But I think you've already realized that.
We have!

Arcanine!

Fuecoco!

There's probably so many different
strategies we could try out, you know?

Let's try everything we can.
I wanna keep growing as a Trainer!

Same here!

Grandma's the best.

She's taught us so much.

There's a ton of things
we haven't learned yet, but you know--

Liko, Terapagos is awake.

Pika...

I still have so much
to learn and discover.

About Rayquaza, Lucius, Laqua.

So many wonders and mysteries!

But that's what an adventure is all about.

And besides, I've got everyone by my side.

I'm gonna be just fine.

And so you've returned, Amethio.

I understand you encountered Rayquaza.

But I let it get away.

Now you're back,
seeking that which you do not have.

Yes.

I want more power!
