Sophocles (anime): Difference between revisions

In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The next day, Sophocles and his classmates embarked on their fifth mission, to investigate the situation at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]. Shortly after arriving, Lusamine revealed that Gladion would be joining them as a new member. In order to disperse the clouds, Lana, Kiawe, Ash, and Gladion combined their Z-Power to fuel a device that successfully made the clouds disappear, but they uncovered a hidden Ultra Wormhole in the process. Afterwards, Lusamine took the Ultra Guardians into the ruins, where she showed them a mural depicting the "{{p|Necrozma|Blinding One}}". Before they could translate the mural, the Ultra Guardians were forced to return outside, where they found the wormhole increasing in size. At that moment, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Lunala}} emerged from the wormhole with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Necrozma}} chasing after it. The group was eventually able to solve the unfolding crisis in ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'', where they, their Pokémon, Lunala, {{AP|Poipole}}'s friends, and everyone else back in Alola shared their Z-Power with Necrozma, causing it to release [[Nebby]]. After Ash and Gladion used Nebby and Lunala to replenish Necrozma's strength to revert it back to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}, it restored Poipole's home world back to its original state. Afterwards, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole.

In [[SM106]], Sophocles, Ash, [[Hapu]], and Kiawe headed over to Vast Poni Canyon. After arriving, Sophocles challenged [[Horacio]] to a contest when the latter expressed his own plans to evolve his Charjabug with the "Bug Stone", a purported special [[evolutionary stone]] said to be located somewhere in the canyon. Sophocles, Horacio, and their Charjabug ventured to an old bridge that they had to cross. Sophocles feared that it was going to collapse, but Horacio stubbornly rebuffed his concerns and crossed. Indeed, the bridge did collapse, leaving him and his Chariabug hanging on for dear life. Sophocles's Charjabug subsequently evolved into Vikavolt, saved them, and retrieved the Bug Stone. When Horacio realized the Bug Stone didn't work, Sophocles informed him that Charjabug evolve into Vikavolt due to the canyon's [[special magnetic field]]. Meeting back up with his friends, Sophocles showed off his newly evolved Pokémon before being challenged to a Vikavolt race by Horacio, which he accepted.
