|epname=The Pendant That Starts It All (Part Two)

In ''[[HZ024|Reunion at the Ancient Castle!]]'', it was revealed that many decades before the events of ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', {{p|Terapagos}} was discovered by {{OBP|Diana|Horizons}} 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 [[Diana (Horizons)#Pokémon|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.

Terapagos was first shown in its dormant state in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]'', in a case given by Liko's {{OBP|Diana|Horizons|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.

It also seems to have a strong desire to protect [[Liko]] from harm, summoning barriers made up of overlapping hexagons to shield her from attacks like {{m|Psycho Cut}} from [[Amethio's Ceruledge]], from his {{p|Corviknight}}'s talons and even from the [[Black Rayquaza]]'s {{m|Draco Meteor}}. It also seemed to have gotten agitated when it saw Amethio in ''Reunion at the Ancient Castle!'' because of his actions in hurting Liko and trying to take it away from her. Terapagos seems to be attached to Liko as it took a liking to her, after she expressed determination to save it from the [[Explorers]] in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. Terapagos also seems to like sleeping in Liko's backpack. Terapagos even became friends with [[Liko's Sprigatito]] and {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}, as its spends most of its time hanging out with them.
