Terapagos (anime): Difference between revisions

==In the anime==

===History===

====Pre-series====

According to [[Diana]] in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', hundreds of years prior to the events of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', Terapagos met and travelled alongside [[Lucius]] and the Six Heroes during their journey to reach [[Lakua]].  

Many years later, {{p|Terapagos}} was discovered by [[Diana]] in its dormant state within a briefcase stored away in the attic of her home when she was a young girl, together with [[Lucius]]'s research diary. Unaware that it was a Pokémon, Diana began her journey together with her {{DL|Diana|Growlithe}} and the dormant Terapagos around her neck, hoping to uncover the mysterious past of the Ancient Adventurer. It remained completely dormant in her possession until she gifted it to her granddaughter [[Liko]] one year before the events of ''The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)'', telling her that it would become important to her in the future. Some time after this, [[Hamber]], an old friend of Diana's, would offer to introduce her to [[Gibeon|someone]] who could help her with her adventures. However, when he would arrive at her home in [[Hammerlocke]], she learned that Hamber was a member of a suspicious organization known as the [[Explorers]] that wanted the pendant for an unknown purpose. Fearing for her granddaughter's safety as it was now in her possession, she enlisted the help of the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to protect her.

====''[[Pokémon Horizons: The Series]]''====

Terapagos was first shown in its dormant state in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', in a case given by [[Diana|Liko's grandmother]]. After [[Ann]] left for her school break, Liko went back to the dormitory and encountered [[Amethio]], who told her that he was sent to [[Indigo Academy]] by her grandmother to retrieve the pendant and give it back to her. Finding him suspicious, she began to flee with the pendant around her neck. Some time later, she was cornered by Amethio and [[Zirc|his]] [[Onia|teammates]]. Before they could take the pendant, however, a man named [[Friede]] came swooping down on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}} to rescue Liko, battling [[Amethio's Ceruledge]]. While Amethio and Friede were battling, Liko took the opportunity to flee just as a stray {{m|Psycho Cut}} was headed towards her, causing her pendant to glow and create a protective shield around her and her {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}, revealing Terapagos's true form to Liko for the [[HZ002|first time]] before it returned to its pendant form.

In ''[[HZ012|The Future I Choose]]'', after helping Arboliva restore the [[Arboliva Forest]], Terapagos, in its dormant state, began to glow, transforming itself into its Normal Form. This caused Arboliva to share a vision of a [[Lucius|mysterious man]] to the group. After the vision was shown, Terapagos reverted back to its pendant form and Arboliva returned to its Ancient Poké Ball, allowing Liko to take it under her care. Afterward, Liko decided she wanted to see her grandmother to learn more about the pendant.  

In ''[[HZ014|Fly! Wattrel!!]]'', Liko went to [[Levincia]] by herself after she saw an advertisement for a jar of [[Spicy Herba Mystica]] on her [[Rotom Phone]] that [[Murdock]] had been looking for. In reality, however, the advertisement was created by [[Spinel]] to separate her from the group. He then used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to erase Liko's memories and steal her pendant. The pendant remained under Spinel's possession until ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]'', where, after [[Dot]] signaled Liko and Roy to a cargo ship where Spinel was hiding by using her {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}'s {{m|Water Gun}}, the group challenged him to a battle. Spinel, commanding his Pokémon remotely from a hidden location, battled with his {{p|Magneton}} and Beheeyem, who were defeated by the group. However, they quickly got overwhelmed by his final Pokémon, {{p|Umbreon}}. Their desire to protect Terapagos caused the pendant to glow brightly, revealing where Spinel was hiding and allowing Sprigatito to retrieve the pendant.

In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', the group encountered a {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}} that had an Ancient Poké Ball, indicating that it had belonged to the ancient adventurer [[Lucius]] just like Arboliva. However, they were forced to retreat after Moltres had defeated them and injured [[Captain Pikachu]]. In the [[HZ023|next episode]], Liko and Roy returned to the Galar Mine and battled the Malevolent Pokémon in an attempt to calm it down. After successfully calming Moltres down with Sprigatito's aromatic {{m|Leafage}}, Liko's pendant started to glow and transformed into Terapagos. It began to communicate with the Moltres, after which it returned to its Ancient Poké Ball and allowed Liko to take it under her care. After this point, Terapagos no longer reverted to its dormant state inside the pendant, instead choosing to remain awakened to travel alongside Liko. This was noticed by Amethio, who would tell his teammates that they planned to steal the mysterious Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', Terapagos accompanied Liko to an [[ancient castle]] in [[Hammerlocke]] to meet up with her grandmother, Diana. With the help of her {{p|Squawkabilly}}, the group reunited with Diana, and Terapagos was happy to see her again. However, the Explorers were on their trail, having tracked down Diana's concealed castle. After Amethio and his teammates had broken into the castle, Terapagos expressed anger towards him. In the [[HZ025|next episode]], Terapagos escaped with Liko and Roy until the two Trainers were forced to battle their pursuers. After the rest of the Rising Volt Tacklers arrived, Terapagos was taken back to the airship with Liko and Roy.

In [[HZ040]], during a training between Liko's Sprigatito and Roy's Fuecoco, Terapagos was almost hit by Sprigatito's {{m|Leafage}}, but was saved just in time by Liko, who took the hit in its place. As Liko left the airship to find the guilty Sprigatito, she had Hatenna watch over Terapagos, that decided to follow the girl all the way to [[Manya's house]] while Hatenna tried to get him back. When both arrived there and encountered Liko and Sprigatito, the two Pokémon were suddenly captured by a {{p|Spidops}}, that was quickly defeated by Sprigatito, freeing the two.

In [[HZ041]], {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} accidentally ran into Terapagos in the airship's battlefield as she was chased by Murdock, Dot, and Quaxly for trying to turn Murdock's frying pan into a hammer, causing Terapagos to fall onto its back.

In [[HZ046]], Terapagos remained with Liko as she continued her journey to study at [[Naranja Academy]].

Much of Terapagos's past is unknown. [[Diana]] theorizes that it traveled alongside the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]] as she had discovered the pendant together with his research diary, with Terapagos's Terastal Form being mentioned inside it. This is supported by the pendant glowing whenever it's near one of his {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}}s and it communicating with his {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Moltres}}, along with Terapagos responding to both the name Lucius and the name of the paradise he was searching for, [[Lakua]], in ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]''. In ''[[HZ026|Terapagos's Adventure!]]'', it was shown to have a curious and inquisitive personality, exploring and wandering the Rising Volt Tacklers base on its own, due to being in its dormant form for a very long time. Terapagos has also shown to be friendly around Pokémon, as seen in ''[[HZ027|As Long as I'm with My Friends]]'', when it quickly befriended a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Drednaw}}. However, despite mostly being friendly around Pokémon, Terapagos has shown to get along with people as well. In addition, Terapagos enjoys eating {{berries}}, as they are the only things it will eat.

Although it doesn't seem to battle that much, Terapagos would do so if its friends were put in danger, as shown in [[HZ033]], when it transformed and battled the Black Rayquaza in order to protect the Rising Volt Tacklers, especially Liko. Terapagos also showed an interest in battling, as shown in [[HZ040]], when it tried to join Liko and [[Roy]]'s practice battle. As seen in [[HZ044]], Terapagos has the ability to call for the Black Rayquaza with a specific energy signal.
