Terapagos (game): Difference between revisions

===Backstory===

Over 2,000,000 years ago, Terapagos inhabited the [[Paldea]] [[region]] in a bygone era along with other Terapagos, however, according to one of its [[Pokédex]] entires, seismic shifts started to occur on the earth, which was said to have doomed its species to the brink of extinction. It was thought that this species went extinct, having been caught up in these seismic shifts; however, it seems that one Terapagos protected itself by changing the energy in its body into hard crystals and going into hibernation deep underground. Terapagos laid dormant in deep caverns in Area Zero, currently known as Area Zero Underdepths.

As thousands of years passed, as Terapagos slumbered, it unintentionally caused [[Tera Shard|crystals]] to start growing all across the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] and [[Area Zero]] itself. Thanks to these crystals, Terapagos gave origin to a phenomenon that would later be named [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallization]], a phenomenon that crystallizes Pokémon and can even change their [[Type]]s. Furthermore, along with said phenomenon, a new type was also created from the mix of all Tera types, which would be later named {{t|Stellar}} type. It is also heavily implied that these crystals gave birth some rare crystal Pokémon, such as {{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Glimmet}} and {{p|Glimmora}}. Terapagos's power even caused [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon]] from [[Pokémon multiverse|parallel timelines]] to be temporarily brought into Area Zero.

200 years ago, during an expedition in [[Area Zero]], after the group was attacked by one of the Pokémon brought by Terapagos, a Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, one of the members however, a man named [[Heath]], somehow found himself in Area Zero Underdepths and encountered Terapagos while in its Stellar Form. Fascinated by the sight, Heath included Terapagos in his [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, dubbing its page, "'''A Disk Pokémon?'''". Although he was unsure if it was a Pokémon or even alive at all, he named it Terapagos and suspected it is the origin of the Terastallization, which turns out to be true. When the team returned to the surface, most people who read the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} believed everything in it was fake, which included Terapagos itself.

10 years ago, [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} went on another expedition to Area Zero, wishing to find a way to bring [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon from other timelines]] to their own due to witnessing these creatures in Heath's Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. During their research, they find Terapagos in its crystal form and study it and [[Terastal energy|its power]], managing to use it to create [[Tera Orb]]s, an AI copy of themselves and even a [[time machine]], capable of bringing the Pokémon they desired to see for so long to their timeline, now known as Paradox Pokémon.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===

In the present time, copies of the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} can be found in the library of the [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} and in them, there's a page dubbed "'''A Disk Pokémon?'''", which includes a sketch of Terapagos in its Stellar Form, however, most of the page's text is censured.
