Nebby: Difference between revisions

'''Nebby''' (Japanese: '''ほしぐもちゃん''' ''Hoshigumo-chan'') is a character introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Although it seems to possess a mysterious power, being a {{p|Cosmog}}, Nebby is depicted as frail and unable to use [[move]]s for large parts of the games' storyline. Nebby's name has been given to it by [[Lillie]], who cares for it and tries to find out about its true nature. In an attempt to save it from harm, Lillie often keeps Nebby in her bag in order to hide it from outsiders.

Nebby is a {{p|Cosmog}} owned by [[Lillie]] forming as one of the central characters for Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. As like all Cosmog, it has has child-like behavior, and is in most cases, completely unaware of the world around it. It is incredibly curious and carefree to the point of even ignoring common orders. Despite this behavior, it is still trusting of certain people, such as Lillie. Nebby has an interest in [[Alola]]'s ruins and [[Guardian deities]], and because of this it attempts to leave Lillie's bag on its own, unknowing that it may risk itself to danger. In order to protect itself and the people around it, it will attempt to use its powers to either push objects away or teleport to new location. The first time of multiple, that it has used this power, Lillie explains that it was in order to help protect her,<ref> [[Lillie]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"No... I shouldn't say that. I'm sorry, Nebby... I know you were trying to save me that time... And I couldn't even help you in return..."''</ref> suggesting that it has good intentions, but has ignorance on its own health and safety. Nebby has an interest in Pokémon battles, <ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}, before the player battles Olivia: ''"If it's all right with you, <player>, I think Nebby and I would like to watch, too."''</ref> despite this, it ignores commands and attacks from Lillie.<ref>[[Lillie]], {{g|Sun and Moon}}: ''"Go, Nebby! Use...use Splash!"''</ref>

As a Cosmog, Nebby was subject to the [[Aether Foundation]]'s experiments, being used to create [[Ultra Wormhole]]s by either using its gases or by making it stressed.

As a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|SUS}} and {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|MUM}}, Nebby has noticeably matured. It will listen to commands and attacks given to Lillie and the player, with its protective nature being more controlled, having a bigger grasp on its own powers. In Sun and Moon, Nebby has a taste for adventure, wishing to go on more adventures with the player and Lillie.

Nebby has a child and mother -like relationship with Lillie, even after evolution, where Lillie worries about it before she leaves it with the player. Lillie also makes the retort that the player will act as Nebby's parent, suggesting a similar relationship. At the [[Lake of the Moone]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or [[Lake of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|MUM}}, bringing Nebby will result in it meeting with the opposite of its species in which it will create an offspring, a new Cosmog, for the player to obtain.

Nebby was first raised by the Aether Foundation before Lillie had taken it in. In [[Professor Kukui]]'s Pokémon Research lab on {{rt|1|alola}}, Lillie had taken care of Nebby in the loft, acting as Lillie's personal room. As a Cosmog, Nebby seems to have a bed placed in the left that is chewed on by [[Professor Kukui's Lycanroc|Kukui's Rockruff]]. In the original Sun and Moon, this bed disappears after Lillie has decided to pack up and leave for [[Kanto]], while in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Lillie decides to stay in Alola, and Nebby's bed remains. Nebby currently resides in the player's Poké Ball of choice after Lillie has decided to let the Pokémon go.

During the events of the game, it is revealed to the player that [[Mohn|Professor Mohn]] of the Aether Foundation had studied a {{p|Cosmog}} and had researched [[Ultra Space]] and [[Ultra Wormhole]]s prior to the events of the game. This research had led to result of Mohn disappearing with his whereabouts unknown. All that was left was a couple of research papers on Ultra Space theories, [[Ultra Beast]]s, and a weakened Cosmog.

During the opening cutscene, three months prior to the beginning of the {{player}}'s adventure, when [[Lillie]] tries to flee [[Aether Paradise]], she is teleported away by a mysterious force; that force is later revealed to stem from Nebby, who hid in her bag. Lillie and Nebby wash up on a beach, where they are found by [[Professor Burnet]], who agrees to help Lillie learn more about Nebby. She then contacts her husband, [[Professor Kukui]], who allows them to stay with him for the time being.

When the player gets to  [[Iki Town]], Lillie can be seen talking to her bag, walking north towards [[Mahalo Trail]]. Nebby appears to be interested in the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. The player follows Lillie, potentially mistaking her for the [[island kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]]. They then encounter a worried Lillie, who informs the player about Nebby being attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an unstable rope bridge. The player steps in to protect it and Nebby is once again forced to use its hidden powers, thereby destroying the bridge. Nebby and the player are saved from falling by {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele Island. Lillie thanks the player for their bravery and asks the player to not tell anybody about Nebby. She then scolds Nebby for using its power again despite being advised not to and tells it to return to her bag. At the Iki Town festival, Nebby watches the player receive their [[starter Pokémon]], and later their [[Z-Ring]]. Nebby remains with Lillie both in and out of her drum bag when she introduces the player to Kukui's lab, the [[Rotom Pokédex]], the [[Pokémon Center]] on {{rt|1|Alola}}, the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], and [[Hau'oli City]] to the player.

In order to make Nebby feel better after the events at Aether Paradise, Lillie travels with the player to [[Poni Island]]. Before they leave, Gladion provides Lillie with the [[Moon Flute]]{{sup/7|SUS}} or [[Sun Flute]]{{sup/7|MUM}}. Lillie and the player travel to [[Seafolk Village]], and are instructed by the village chief to speak with the kahuna of Poni. They go meet with Hapu, who lives on the island, and the previous kahuna's granddaughter. Bringing the two to the [[Ruins of Hope]] Hapu is seen becoming the kahuna, appointed by {{p|Tapu Fini}}. Sadly, Lillie's hopes of Tapu Fini helping Nebby do not come true. However, Hapu provides Lillie with all the information she knows about the legendary Pokémon that Lillie previously read about, confirming that there is two flutes and that the other is on [[Exeggutor Island]], a previous trial site. Lillie and the player go to Exeggutor Island and retrieve the missing flute. Upon returning, back to Seafolk Village, they begin their journey across [[Vast Poni Canyon]]. At the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}} or [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}, Lillie and the player play the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute together during the daytime{{sup/7|S}} or nighttime{{sup/7|M}}, and Nebby is drawn from her bag, evolving into {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}} or {{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}. Upon Lillie's request, Nebby guides her and the player into [[Ultra Deep Sea|Ultra Space]]. In Ultra Space, Nebby roars at Lusamine who has merged with a Nihilego, forcing the two apart. Afterwards, Lillie informs the player that Nebby wants to keep on traveling with her and the player; however, Lillie stresses that she is not a trainer and urges Nebby to join the player instead. A battle is initiated, and the player is then required to catch Nebby (and in the process, they can give it any [[nickname]]). While Nebby remains in the player's care, it no longer appears in the story. However, depending on the version, Nebby will appear nuzzling a melancholy Lillie in a photograph during the credits. It will appear as a Solgaleo in Pokémon Sun and a Lunala in Pokémon Moon.

When the player gets to [[Iki Town]], Lillie can be seen talking to her bag, walking towards [[Mahalo Trail]], being interested in the [[Ruins of Conflict]]. Mistaking her for the [[island kahuna]] of [[Melemele Island]], the player follows her. Lillie appears to be worried, informing the player about Nebby being attacked by a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} on an unstable bridge. The player steps in to protect it, using their newly obtained [[starter Pokémon]] to battle the Spearow. This causes Nebby to once again use its hidden powers, for protection, destroying the bridge. They are saved by {{p|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deities|guardian deity]] of Melemele Island. Lillie thanks the player for their bravery and asks the player to not tell anybody about Nebby. She then scolds Nebby for using its power again despite being advised not to and tells it to return to her bag. At the Iki Town festival, Nebby watches the player receive their [[Z-Power Ring]]. Nebby remains with Lillie both in and out of her drum bag when she introduces the player to {{rt|1|alola|Kukui's lab}}, the [[Rotom Pokédex]], the [[Pokémon Center]] on {{rt|1|Alola}}, the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], and [[Hau'oli City]] to the player.

On [[Ula'ula Island]], Lillie informs the player that she and Nebby intend to see the [[Ruins of Abundance]]. Before this however, she requests the player to help do some research on Alola's history and legends at the [[Malie City]] Library, where she meets [[Hapu]] and [[Acerola]]. Lillie gets lost, accidentally running into an apparel shop instead. Acerola provides Lillie with a book from her father, called '''The Light of Alola''', talking about the region's [[light trio|Legendary Pokémon]]. As the player makes way to [[Aether House]] on {{rt|15|Alola}} it is revealed that Lillie has gone off on her own, separated from Hapu or Acerola, to see what it's like to travel on their own. In front of Aether House, Lillie is stopped by a {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}, who noticed her bag moving. The player steps in and stops the gruns from hurting them. Lillie stays at Aether House, being protected and watched over by Hau, while the player does their trial with Acerola. The player then goes out to save a {{p|Yungoos}} from Team Skull, traveling to their headquarters in [[Po Town]]. This turns out to be a trick, and Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped by Team Skull in an operation led by Team Skull Admin [[Plumeria]]; who says that Team Skull aren't the only ones who steal Pokémon. With Hau being unable to protect the two, Lillie goes with them willing to Aether Paradise. Overhearing this conversation, [[Gladion]], who Hau and the player have encountered before, find out that it was Lillie who took Cosmog from Aether Paradise. Gladion gets upset and initiates a battle with the player, being irritated that he has told the two before that if anyone were to find out about Cosmog, a disaster could happen on Alola. He brings Hau and the player to Aether Paradise.

The player and Lillie go through [[Poni Island]] together like in the original Sun and Moon, playing the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s at Poni's altar, allowing Nebby to evolve into either Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}} or Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}. At this point, {{p|Necrozma}} comes from an Ultra Wormhole behind them, and along with, Lusamine and Guzma are dumped onto the altar's floor. Lusamine tells Lillie and the two to get away from the danger that is Necrozma. In order to protect them, Nebby does battle with Necrozma, resulting in a loss. Necrozma pins down Nebby, and absorbs it for its light, turning Necrozma into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dusk Mane]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Dawn Wings]]{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. Necrozma then proceeds to crate multiple Ultra Wormholes across Poni's altar and throughout the Alola region. Still hostile, Necrozma then attacks the player with possession of Nebby's body, initiating a battle. After defeat, Necrozma creates another Ultra Womrhole and escapes back to [[Ultra Megalopolis]]. Once the player defeats [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|Ultra]] Necrozma at [[Megalo Tower]], Nebby is freed from Necrozma and returns to the Altar of the Sunne{{sup/7|US}}/Altar of the Moone{{sup/7|UM}}. Lusamine and Lillie thank the player and take Nebby back home to Aether Paradise to be treated.

In Sun and Moon, Nebby is obtainable at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}} or [[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}. Nebby is coded to never be [[shiny]]. All basic [[Poké Ball]] properties are applied. Nebby is required to be caught to progress the story. If the player has no available Poké Balls, Lillie will provide the player with some.

In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Nebby is obtainable [[Mahalo Trail]] at a higher level, after the player has completed the main story. Nebby is coded to never be shiny and all basic Poké Ball properties are applied. The fight and dialogue are activated as soon as the player enters the area. After the battle, Lillie provides the player with the corresponding [[Z-Crystal]], [[Solganium Z]]{{sup/7|US}}/[[Lunalium Z]]{{sup/7|UM}}.

'''Ash's Solgaleo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サトシのソルガレオ''' ''Satoshi's Solgaleo'') is a [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|recurring Pokémon character in the anime]] taken care of by {{Ash}}, and his fifty-second Pokémon overall. It was first [[nickname]]d '''Nebby''' (Japanese: '''ほしぐもちゃん''' ''Hoshigumo-chan'') by {{an|Lillie}}.

'''Lunala''' (Japanese: '''ルナアーラ''' ''Lunala'') is a member of the Light Trio and the first to appear, being seen as a Cosmog. It later evolved into Cosmoem and then into Lunala.

===History===

Nebby first appeared as a Pokémon in [[Lillie]]'s care. It was one of two {{p|Cosmog}} obtained by the [[Aether Foundation]] for the purpose of opening [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. Fearing for its safety, [[Lillie]] took one of the Cosmog and escaped from [[Aether Paradise]], completely unaware there were actually two the entire time.

[[PASM28|Shortly]] after landing, a {{p|Stakataka}} appeared, hoping to battle with Necrozma. After it captured Sun, Stakataka attacked Moon, but she was protected by Lunala. Moon commanded Lunala to battle Stakataka, but it was unable to use its full strength without risking Sun's safety. By firing an arrow at the [[Zygarde Cube]] in Sun's bag, Moon released several {{adv|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Cells}} that stuck onto Stakataka's eyes, blinding it and allowing Lunala to easily finish it off. The battle alerted Necrozma, who released Solgaleo and leapt from the [[Megalo Tower]] to try and absorb Lunala. Lunala tried fighting back, but was overpowered. Sun and Moon sent out their Pokémon to help, but were stopped by Lusamine. [[PASM30|Eventually]], Lunala was absorbed by Necrozma, causing the latter to become its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} form.
