They named the creature "Celeste" and cared for it, though as it grew it caused the other plants around it to wither and die. The other villagers were outraged by this and tried to attack Celeste, but as the old couple protected her, Celeste transformed once again into a large ship and flew back to the moon, leaving a prosperous bamboo grove behind. | ||
While his Pokémon don't seem too impressed by the story, they spot an odd clearing without any bamboo which Togedemaru, and soon Sophocles and Charjabug, tumble into. Here, Sophocles finds a metal point sticking out of the ground and starts digging, soon discovering that buried a bit deeper is a face. The face, belonging to the currently unknown {{p|Celesteela}}, proves to be alive when it smiles upon seeing the light of the full moon. | While his Pokémon don't seem too impressed by the story, they spot an odd clearing without any bamboo which Togedemaru, and soon Sophocles and Charjabug, tumble into.

While they initially don't believe him, {{Ash}} and friends agree to take a look after school. While still skeptical that the discovery is the Celestial Starship of legend, Sophocles provides everyone with shovels to begin digging. While upset that they were clearly tricked into helping him dig Celesteela out, they agree to help and spend the day excavating it, with the help of their Pokémon and a swarm of {{p|Grubbin}} that Charjabug calls on. Throughout this, Celesteela remains motionless and indifferent, only smiling once the moon rises. | ||
Once Celesteela is free, {{Rotom}} states that the mysterious creature is not in the Pokédex, causing {{an|Kiawe}} to suggest that they might have unearthed an [[Ultra Beast]].

Sophocles is upset when Lillie says they should inform her mother and begs for more time to research Celesteela, who he has taken to calling "Celeste". He continues his research, finding that Celesteela had been buried there for a whopping two hundred years. | ||

Once inside their base, they learn that Celesteela is a confirmed Ultra Beast, which surprises everyone. [[Wicke]] states that they were also inspired by the Celeste legend and named the creature "Celesteela". They also state that it has been storing flammable gas during the time it was buried which would allow it to take off like a rocket, causing untold devastation from its burning fuel, which requires it be removed. | ||
While Sophocles is distraught over this, the Ultra Guardians rush to Celesteela's location. {{TRT}} is nearby harvesting bamboo shoots when they overhear that the Ultra Guardians are there to capture a "Rocket Pokémon". Team Rocket decides that any "Rocket Pokémon" should belong to them for it fits their namesake. | While Sophocles is distraught over this, the Ultra Guardians rush to Celesteela's location. {{TRT}} is nearby harvesting bamboo shoots when they overhear that the Ultra Guardians are there to capture a "Rocket Pokémon".
