HZ012: Difference between revisions

Suddenly, Liko's pendant starts to glow and transforms into {{an|Terapagos|a mysterious Pokémon}}. Arboliva reacts to the Pokémon's presence by creating a big ball of light and surrounding Liko and Roy with it. Inside the ball of light, Liko and Roy find themselves in the middle of a thick mist. A silhouetted figure speaks from amidst the mist, but can't finish his sentence before the mist lifts and the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s return to reality, the mysterious Pokémon transforming back into Liko's pendant in the process. The [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] barely have time to process this before Arboliva's {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} starts glowing and it suddenly [[recall]]s itself into it. Taking this as a sign of Arboliva wanting to come with them, Friede asks Liko and Roy to look after the ball and has the team return to the airship. Unnoticed by the team, [[Spinel]] of the [[Explorers]] is spying on their every move.

At the [[Artazon]] library, Friede's attempts to find answers prove fruitless, but he's cheered up by the appearance of [[Lucca]], whom he's been trying to reach for a while now. Simultaneously, Liko shows Roy some picture books her father had given to Roy to read, and Roy is shocked to notice that one of the books is about the ancient adventurer [[Roy's grandfather|his grandfather]] has told him stories of. While Lucca identifies said ancient adventurer as a man named [[Lucius]] during her conversation with Friede, Liko and Roy read the story from the book: a hundred years ago, there was an adventurer who, accompanied by the [[Black Rayquaza]], befriended five strong Pokémon. Together, the adventurer and these six Pokémon traveled from [[region]] to region, until they found a place simply called "[[Laqua|paradise]]." The man, with his Pokémon friends, had gone on to settle down and live there, becoming forever known as the "ancient adventurer." Given the description of how one of the adventurer's partners had the ability to heal wounds, Roy deduces that it must mean Arboliva, which, in turn, means that the Ancient Poké Balls contain the adventurer's partners, and there are still four more of them out there, making him excited at the thought of finding them too.

With Friede and Lucca, Liko's mother is unable to provide any answers regarding the pendant, since it was a gift to Liko from [[Diana|Lucca's mother]], and advises them to talk to her for answers. The {{p|Squawkabilly}} accompanying her takes flight and starts repeating the words "[[Galar]]" and "[[Ancient castle|castle]]." Lucca decides not to go see Liko, wanting her daughter to decide her own future. Liko, meanwhile, calls [[Alex|her father]], who says the storybook is based on tales of Liko's grandmother, so he believes the story to be just fiction. Roy, however, remains convinced of the story's authenticity, given their encounters with the Black Rayquaza and Arboliva.
