Chapter 151 Zygarde and Volcanion
Ash, Janine, and Lisia are now at the Night Club Counter, and they find the young boy named Marcello there. Ash remembers him as the one who sells Lemonade in the Tourmaline Desert.
Marcello: There's a thing in the desert. Like the middle of the desert. And a little bit to the right. No, I can't be more specific. Just fix it. It's driving away from the customers, so go fix it.
Ash: (Mutters) You're kidding me...Tourmaline Desert is a big one...
Then they take the train and head to the Tourmaline Desert, and both Lisia and Janie are surprised to see how big this is. But much to their delight, the New World Gate is actually close to them.
Lisia: Looks like we don't need to search far and wide for this place.
Ash: I guess we're lucky.
But just as they get into the cave, they find themselves in another desert.
Janine: So we're in another desert...just great.
Ash: It is said that we're in the Twilight Desert... but compared to Tourmaline Desert, this place is actually smaller.
Lisia: And that looks like a giant building in front of us, should we go there?
Squishy: Just hold on.
Ash and the others are surprised to see Squishy and Z2 popping out of Ash's backpack.
Ash: Squishy? Z2? What are you doing here?
Z2: We have felt a stronger Zygarde energy coming from this place ever since it is created, that's why we've decided to come along.
Janine: I don't get it, so the quest for this one is the Zygarde one?
Ash: I mean, I collected some Zygarde Cells when I was traveling through the places... But there might be more of them around the area, right?
Then they decide to search for 10 more Z-Cells in the area, once they are done, they decide to enter the gate. But just before that can happen, Ash and the others find a Stakataka, and Ash decides to capture it in a Beast Ball.
Janine: So that was an Ultra Beast? It looks a little terrifying considering how many eyes it has.
Ash: Lillie and I deal with this one back in Alola, it was being used as a cornerstone and it was going on a rampage, good thing that the statue on his head was gone so that we can finally calm it down and sent it back to its own world.
Lisia: But now that you've captured it, are you going to send it back to their world?
Ash: I don't think so, they are created in the New World instead of their own Ultra Beast world...so I guess all we can do is giving them a home and train them to be the best.
Ash's New Capture in Twilight Forest: Stakataka (Walking)
As the whole factory is locked, Ash and the others find the lever and pull it, creating a stairway to the only door, after getting inside, they find two buttons for the gateway. The third Gate and the Fourth Gate are opened, and they head outside to find another door, and there is a machine inside.
Ash: It says that there are 22 Cell Imprints Discovered...
Lisia: What does that mean?
After that, they receive 22 Cell Imprints, and they are actually items that boost the Pokemon's Natural Potential. After leaving the room and heading to the next one, they find another machine.
Janine: So this is the machine that constructs Zygarde?
Squishy: Usually we don't need any machines to construct ourselves. But I am not sure those created from the New World needs.
Z2: It is better if you try it yourself.
Ash nods as he puts 10 cells into the machine, and then he receives the dog form Zygarde.
Ash's New Capture in Twilight Forest: Zygarde (Event)
Ash: Okay...that's a little weird...so I guess if I collect 50 cells, then I can get it here to construct into the snake form?
Squishy: That might be possible.
Before they leave, they find another room and they enter it, only to find Florinia there.
Florinia: Greetings. I received a report of a kind of unknown machinery located here, and so I thought it might be prudent to investigate. After a thorough analysis, it appears that this panel's primary purpose is to scan and inspect gathered Z- Cells. At the moment, it does not appear as if collecting all 50 Z-Cells is a necessity, although it may be in the future. It appears that for every 10 Z-Cells brought here, another gate will open. It can probably be assumed that behind all of these, there exists a way to fuse the cells into a 100% Zygarde. I did try to hack the system, but unfortunately all of the usual methods appear ineffective. I am struggling to find any similarities to modern back-end infrastructures in these machines. It is as if they are only made to look like common devices, rather than actually being them. One might say that it is slightly frustrating. However, I am admittedly a bit curious as to how it works still, so I plan to remain here just a while longer and continue trying.
Ash: Squishy, can you or Z2 manage to help it out?
Squishy decides to try it out by transforming into the Snake Form, but no matter what he does, the gate won't open. When Z2 is the one doing it, the result is still the same.
Lisia: But aren't they Zygarde as well? Why won't the door open?
Ash: Maybe we need the New World Zygarde for this...so our original world Zygarde can't activate the gate...
Then they decide to leave everything to Florinia as they head back to the Night Club. This time Archer is the one there.
Archer: Well met again, Ash. I heard you've been on quite the adventure since you've been out. I've had my own business to attend to, as you're no doubt well aware, but nevertheless, I find it imperative to chip in here as well. After all, we are still attending to the needs of our community as best we can here. You too, then, as usual. Let's get to it. A handful of reports have come in from the Chrysolia region reporting a large amount of steam pouring out from somewhere near the forest. It's likely another legendary, though no reports of a New World door have come in recently so if there was one, it may have already closed. As usual, get in, get it done, get back. We'll be on standby, should you require support.
Janine: What kind of Legendary Pokemon is related to steam?
Ash: I think I know one from Kalos that is Fire and Water Type...
They quickly go to Chrysolia Spring's Basement, and they find Volcanion in front of them, and he is also glowing.
Volcanion: Human, I have finally waited for you. I need you to help me!
Ash: Help you? What's wrong?
Volcanion: Can't you see it? This abnormal light has been surrounding me for days, I want you to help me get rid of it!
Ash realizes that Volcanion is also being affected by Anomaly light, just like Meloetta.
Ash: Volcanion, then here's the plan, if you want the light to be gone, you have to try to summon 6 Pokemon to this area, no matter what it is.
Volcanion nods as he tries to do what Ash has instructed, and then the first two Pokemon that appear are Dragonite and Tornadus.
Janine: Did he seriously summon a Tornadus?
Ash: It must be from the New World, only those from the New World will be summoned. All we need to do is defeat them, we can't capture them.
Lisia and Janine nod as they send out Dragalge and Archeops respectively as they battle. Dragonite is then defeated by Squishy using Dragon Pulse, along with Archeops' Rock Slide. So the third Pokemon that appears is Silvally. Tornadus goes for Hurricane, but they dodge the attack and Dragalge goes for Poison Tail, knocking the Pokemon out. The fourth Pokemon is Hydreigon.
Silvally goes for Heat Wave, with the help of the Super-Heated Field, it deals more damage to the three Pokemon, but Zygarde goes for Thousand Arrows, hitting both Hydreigon and Silvally at the same time. Lisia has Archeops go for U-turn, hitting Hydreigon, and then switching out to Altaria. Altaria lands a Moonblast to defeat the Hydreigon, so the fifth Pokemon to appear is Naganadel. As for Silvally, it defeats Dragalge with Multi Attack, so Janine switches to Salazzle to battle. Squishy goes for Thousand Wave, defeating Silvally and also dealing heavy damage to Naganadel.
When the second Volcanion appears, the original Volcanion that becomes an Anomaly is surprised.
Volcanion: Where did the other Volcanion come from?
Ash: It is from the New World, and don't worry we can defeat it.
Volcanion: You know what? I could just defeat them myself. (Tries to move, but failed) Hey, why can't I move?
Ash: Because of your Anomaly light, it forces you to stay on the spot. Don't worry, we will definitely defeat the Volcanion and save you.
And much to their delight Squishy goes for Land's Wrath, eventually defeating the Volcanion, and then the glow disappears as Volcanion can move again.
Volcanion: You have my thanks, human. I can't believe I would fall into a trap like that.
Ash: But what are you doing here? I thought you were at Nebel Plateau?
Volcanion: Father asked me to assist you, but just as I stepped foot here, a green portal suddenly appear and then I was glowing like crazy. I assume that was some sort of Anomaly you guys were dealing with?
Ash: You're right about that. You are not the only one, Meloetta had suffered the same thing as you. And that's why we knew how to save you guys from the light.
Janine: So Ash, I assume you know this Pokemon?
Ash: I was unfortunate to be bound with him for some time. Not a great experience that I had.
Then they decide to head back to their house, and Serena is surprised to see Volcanion with them. Ash, Lisia, and Janine then tell the other girls about the whole truth, and they are surprised to learn that there is another Zygarde and Volcanion is the same Volcanion but affected by Anomaly just like Meloetta.
Serena: But if Volcanion is here, what about Magearna? Will she be here as well?
Volcanion: She won't be here. Cherie and Levi are taking good care of her, and they are the only humans that I know that can trust with her, of course, you guys are also.
Lillie: But I was surprised that Squishy and Z2 aren't able to open the door in the Twilight Factory...I mean, that place might be a new place in Reborn, right?
Ash: Yeah. But Rini is there trying to check out the machine, I hope she has some news so that she can tell us in the future.
The other girls nod as Ash decides to head to the Night Club alone for the next mission.
I hope you like this chapter and in this chapter, the Zygarde Quest will be unfinished until further chapters, and they also find Volcanion and save him from the Anomaly, I want to make some Pokemon original ones instead of New ones created by Lin and the PULSE Arceus, but being affected by the Anomaly light. But that will only apply to a few of them, the next quest is, in my opinion, is the best quest of the game so far, and you'll know it after you read the next chapter.
