Chapter 57 Post Coronet Highlands Part 5
After getting back into the Galaxy Hall, they find Zeke again, he sighs, "Every time I'm in trouble, you turn up - just like clockwork. That's right - Wanda's missing again! Please! Help me find my lost sister!"
"Where did she go this time?" Ash asks.
"This time she was sent to the Coronet Highlands, but she never returned from that trip! But I've got faith! I know you and that Ursaluna will be able to track her down for me. Get a whiff of that old kerchief, and see if you can find any traces of her, please!" Zeke says.
After that's done, he says, "Wanda should be somewhere up in the Coronet Highlands, so please find her!"
"This sure is the third time she went missing." Adaman says. "I wonder what is her deal this time."
As they get to the Mountain Camp, they manage to track the scent until they find Wanda standing at a lone cliff. She says, "Ash and Serena! At laaaaast! Oh, I knew you'd come find me! I got hit with a Gust from Honchkrow that sent me tumbling right down the mountainside. I couldn't climb back up, and I couldn't get down either, so I've been stuck! So...um...Please! Get me back on track!"
They decide to use Sneasler's help and they manage to send her back to the camp. She says, "You're always around to save me when I need it! If only you were in my corps, Ash and Serena. I'd be so much better off..."
"But we are Galaxy Team members." Ash says. "We are already in the same team."
"Really?! It's such a relief to hear you say that! I'm so glad I can rely on you, Ash and Serena!" Wanda says. "Though it's a little embarrassing, I guess, to admit to myself that I need to rely on you...Oh, you know what? I used to think that Sneasler was a mean Pokemon, since it looks sly and unsavory, but...It helped me out of a really tight spot, I guess it must be good at heart after all!"
And then she goes back to the Galaxy Hall with them, once Zeke and Wanda are reunited again, he says, "It seems as if there's nothing you can't find! I'm always thanking you, but thanks again. There's simply no doubting your abilities! And I heard from Wanda how you reassured her, telling her you're teammates and all. She's even started calling you her saviors!"
"I think this is a little bit much." Serena says.
"It really means a lot to her to be accepted by someone like you two. And as her big brother, I appreciate you keeping her safe too, of course. I know that she can be a real scatterbrain, so I'm glad she's got you looking out for her!"
Then he gives them two Star Pieces as rewards, and then they go back to Coronet Highlands to do some final exploration. As nighttime approaches, they manage to find an Alpha Mismagius at the Stonetooth Rows, and they decide to do the tasks.
Mismagius' Research Tasks: Number caught:1,2,4,6,10 Number of alpha specimens caught:1 Number defeated:1,2,4,6,10 Number of you've defeated with Dark-type moves:1,2,3 Times you have seen it use Hex:1,3,8,20,40 Times you have seen it use Power Gem:1,3,8,20,40 Times you've stunned it by using items:1,2,3,4,5 Times you've seen it use an agile style move:1,3,8,20,40
Hisui Dex Entry No.198 Mismagius: The Magical Pokemon: Ghost-type. Evolve from Misdreavus with Dusk Stone. The incantations Mismagius chants can ward against misfortune, so a custom exists of inviting it into one's home. Incur the Pokémon's displeasure, however, and disaster will surely ensue.
Then the final touches are the Spiritomb Wisps, Unown, and the old verses that were hidden underground.
The first wisp is located atop the rocky mountain ridge south of Celestica Trail; the second wisp is located on the large step-like grassy section just south of Sacred Plaza; the third wisp is located on the northeastern side of Moonview Arena, overlooking the ruins below; the fourth wisp is located on edge of a cliff southeast of the waterfall flowing out of Lonely Spring; the fifth wisp is located near the mountain ridge by the river flowing out the southeastern section of the area.
The sixth wisp is located on the grassy patch in between the two waterfalls northwest of Heavenward Lookout; the seventh wisp is located in the area with the large rocky plateaus southwest of Primeval Grotto; the eighth wisp is located on a rocky protrusion northeast of the Sonorous Path; the ninth wisp is in the back of Wayward Cave located below the double waterfalls northwest of Heavenward Lookout; the tenth wisp is located in between two trees near the coast due east of Clamberclaw Cliffs.
The eleventh wisp is located at the edge of a narrow rocky ridge with a single tree south of Clamberclaw Cliffs; the twelfth wisp is located on a small island in the middle of the lake at Clamberclaw Cliffs; the thirteenth wisp is located atop one of the square columns just inside the entrance to the Ancient Quarry; the fourteenth wisp is located at the base of the rocky mountainside just east of Bolderoll Ravine; the fifteenth wisp is located at the base of the mountain ridge west of Wayward Wood.
The sixteenth wisp is located atop a large flat surface with three trees near the river east of Fabled Spring; the seventeenth wisp is located on the edge of the large lake southwest of Celestica Trail; the eighteenth wisp is located atop the mountain ridge due east of Moonview Arena; the nineteenth wisp is located on the hilly mountainside right next to the Primeval Grotto, and the final wisp is located in the center of a ruined circular structure just north of Primeval Grotto.
For the Unown, the first one is C: "Look to the ruined pillars of Celestica." They find it at the top of a ruined archway near the Dialga statue at the Celestica Ruins.
The second one is F: "A stony outcrop over pools of mud on a mighty mountain." They find it on top of the rocky spire next to the lava pools. They can only use Wing Balls to catch it because it is so high up.
The third one is J: "A nook within a Quarry." They find it inside the Ancient Quarry, on the left wall near the center.
The fourth one is L: "An impasse in a cave adorned by twin falls." They find it hidden in Wayward Cave, since it is dark inside, Ash and Serena almost miss this one.
And the final one is P: "Among flowers at the spring where fairies dwell." They find it at the Fabled Spring, where it is sleeping among the flowers.
And finally, they find the Old verses, starting with the 8th one, which is hidden at the Lonely Spring. "Throughout Hisui, plates lie scattered— plates with powers all diverse. Forever lasting, each inscribed with eternal prayer's verse. Through space and time will they bear secret wishes for the universe."
"That sure is a little confusing, but they are talking about the plates that we gathered, right?" Ash asks.
"I don't know." Serena shrugs.
The second verse is Verse 16, which is found at the Sacred Plaza. "Heaven's crown, nearest to almighty Sinnoh... Power of almighty Sinnoh, gather as stone at heaven's mount. Stone, let your power flow— distort and bend the world around you."
"This one is about the Almighty Sinnoh..." Adaman asks. "But I still have no idea what it is talking about."
"Me neither." Irida says.
And the final one is Verse 18, which they find in Fabled Spring. "Offer only friendship to those around you. Angering ? in turn confounds you. Sorrowing ? will in woe drown you. A land, once riven, cannot become new. Let only peace and amity surround you."
"What does the question mark means?" Serena asks. "And are you sure this is the last one we found? Why do I think we might have missed one?"
"I don't know. But we searched everywhere unless the final one was at the Temple of Sinnoh?" Ash asks.
"Anyway, it is late right now, I think we must take some rest." Adaman says as they nod, each of them goes back to their quarters to rest.
But just as they get back to the Jubilife Village, they are surprised to see that Ginter from the Ginkgo Guild is selling the appliances for Rotom's forms. He says, "Hi there. Got a special product in stock. A Mechanical Box for 20000$."
"We'll buy it, and can we also buy those items behind you?" Ash asks.
"Oh, a Mechanical Pinwheel sells 40000$, a Mechanical Circular Saw sells 60000$, a Mechanical Tub sells 80000$, and a Mechanical Cabinet sells 100000$. Are you sure you can afford all of them?" Ginter asks.
Ash and Serena look at their money, they have received a lot by doing those requests, he smiles and says, "We buy them."
"Gotta say, you have fine eyes. Few others would recognize the value of a perplexing item like this. Its insides are packed with gears and machinery that serve some unclear purpose. But if you can solve these items' mysteries, your reward will surely be far greater than the price you paid for it today. Well then. I'll get these sent to your quarters - free of charge, of course." Ginter says.
After they put all five wares into the quarters, they manage to record all of Rotom's forms, and also use them to cook good food, wash their clothes, and do a lot of stuff.
Hisui Dex Entry No.194 Rotom (Heat Form): The Plasma Pokémon: Electric- and Fire-type. A form in which Rotom lurks within a strange cauldron. The cauldron's origin is unknown. A bothersome Pokémon, causing trouble with the flames it spits.

After recording the data, Ash and Serena are now sitting on their sleeping mats, and Serena frowns, "Ash, can I tell you something?"
"You can always tell me everything, Serena. But just by the look from your eyes, your question is a serious one?" Ash asks.
"It is...I mean, don't you feel it as well? I think I missed our world a lot..." Serena says. "I mean, Delphox, Pancham, Mom, Rhyhorn, Performances, Contests...I really missed everything."
"Me too. Even though we might have some good battles and capturing Pokemon in this world we're now living in...I just feel like something is missing from my heart...the Leagues, the Gyms, the World Championships..." Ash says. "It has been months since we stayed here, and thanks to Mom and Lillie we know what is going on in the modern world we lived in..."
"But other than missing our world a lot, I start to feel another emotion...it is thanks to this world that we manage to make a lot of friends, Adaman, Irida, Professor Laventon, Akari...I wonder what will happen if we are able to go back to our world?" Serena says.
"Even though we have accepted and finished a lot of side requests, we are still considered people who fell from the Space-time rift. We don't actually belong to this world, but we start to feel like we're at home in this Jubilife Village as well..." Ash frowns. "How I really wish there are no contradictions between the time and space from our world and this world..."
"Me too..." Serena says. "If only we're in the same time zone as everyone here..."
Here is a new chapter, and this wraps up the Coronet Highlands. The next chapter will be back into the main story, with the final place for them to explore. I hope you like this chapter.
