"When do you think Goh's going to be back?" Flygon pondered pacing back in forth. The Mystic Pokémon seemed very concerned nobody had been around the lab all day except for Mr. Cerise stopping by in the morning grabbing some of Goh's stuff and leaving again.

Inteleon personally was okay with Goh being absent since it meant he didn't have to face the wrath of Cinderace he didn't want a lecture about how "He's a bad influence on everyone else"

"Don't worry about it Flygon I'm sure he's just out with the adults he'll be back soon" Greedent reassured as he examined the Tera Crystals.

Great Tusk, Abomasnow, and Darmanitan had dragged the Water Type Terra Crystal into the deepest part of the forest of the Cerise lab the Water and Poison Tera Crystals seemed to react to each other standing between them causing a low constant humming that left a slight tingling sensation in Inteleon's head.

"Um, Inteleon your gonna want to see this" Francois the Magnemite floated in from Mr. Cerise's office his one eye looking worried.

Inteleon followed Francois into Mr. Cerise's office inside were a bunch of security and trail cameras out in Paldea's wilderness.

On one of the trail cameras, I massive brawl had insured between a giant Orthworm and Bombirdier.

"Francois I know you worry too much" Francois gave him an offended look "but did you just drag me here to see a cool fight"

"No look here" Magnemite pointed to the top right camera rewinding it on the camera roll was Espathra stalking around the hills near Artazon with a pack of Houndoom.

"Sweet beans on toast! The Ostrich is around the city of Artazon!"

"That's not the only thing" Francois rewound another camera to a large cliff near Espathra's location where a strange-looking Misdreavus, Amoonguss, and Magneton were investigating a hole in the rockface.

"Alright this isn't looking good first a cool Pokémon battle now Espathra and those Creator weirdos show up we got to put a stop to this Francois get everyone ready we're going Ostrich hunting"

"Does that mean I have to come?" Francois asked.

"You bet your metallic sphere body you do" Inteleon was already walking away with a smile on his face.

"Oh, boy I'm gonna regret this"

Goh was standing on the edge of a pier overlooking the ocean.

Goh felt strange being here the gentle breeze from the sea ruffled his hair the gentle calls of Pidgy echoed through the air the sun was shining and it felt like Goh had been here before.

Goh walked down the pier beyond the shore large ships floated in and out of the bay in front of a large skyline.

It finally hit Goh where he was this was the port of Vermillion City.

Suddenly, Goh was struck by a massive gust of wind his entire body shuddered as if a vortex had been aimed straight at his back. Goh was thrust from the pier Goh shut his eyes as he prepared for the inevitable dive into the water.

But instead, Goh felt like he was floating he didn't feel wet at all it felt like he was flying.

Goh finally squinted his eyes open to see he was flying the smooth white wing of Lugia with nothing but sky below him.

Goh remembered where he was this was where he first met Ash on the back of Lugia flying across the ocean barely hanging onto Lugia's wing with the constant threat of getting dunked into the water.

Goh suddenly lazily opened his eyes in the haze of just waking up he was able to make out the sterile clean white environment of a hospital. Goh's memory began to come back to him the weird robot Pokémon the Hariyama going for Wild Charge, Ash.

Ash! were was Ash, was Ash okay did the robot Hariyama? Goh didn't even want to think about that possibility.

Goh rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He tried to move his arm only to feel an agonizing sourness pulse through his shoulder. Trying to move anything above his torso felt like trying to climb out of cement he sat back down in the uncomfortable hospital bed.

"Oh, Mr. Goh you're awake," One of the nurses said in a heavy Paldean accent coming over to inspect him.

"Do you need anything?"

"I was wondering do you know an Ash Ketchum by chance?"

"Sí he came in with you yesterday he said you were involved in an accident with a wild Pokémon"

"Ya, that's what happened god I was an idiot" Goh grimaced as reached for the cup of water on the side table causing another spasm of pain.

"Do you know where Ash is now?"

"I'll go get him for you he's outside right now talking with someone" the nurse opened the door to the hallway to see Ash, Chloe, and Iris talking to a tall woman with streaks of blue in her hair. Goh was surprised by who it was he knew it was Paldea's champion, Geeta he had no idea why she would want to talk to Ash here of all places.

Goh knew he shouldn't have but used his strength to crane his head towards the door to listen in on their conversation.

"Yes, you can tell no one about this understood" Geeta scolded Goh was shocked by her tone she sounded like an angry soccer mom yelling at her kid about missing a shot.

"But why shouldn't people know about this those things could be a major threat to people those things could kill someone they almost already have" Iris shouted.

"Don't worry about it I can assure you that the proper authorities are handling this" Geeta reassured.

"So do you kids understand that" Goh felt insulted by that on Ash and Iris's behalf Geeta was talking to them like they were elementary students and that both of them weren't stronger trainer's than her.

"Yes, Ms. Geeta" Ash responded.

"Good you can contact my assistant Rika if you need anything" Geeta stroud down the hallway her shoes making a distinctive clacking sound.

"What the fuck was her problem!" Iris shouted Goh was shocked it was rare to hear Iris swear. Being a champion meant you had to be on your best behavior Ash also rarely ever swore.

"Don't worry about it Iris Geeta said that there looking into it" Ash reassured in his usually cheerful voice.

"Oh, please Ash give me a break I don't know how they do it in Alola but these are the sort of things that go into a filling cabinet and are never looked at again"

"But why wouldn't people need to know if there's a danger of wild robotic Pokémon on the loose?" Chole asked.

"No, they don't want people to panic thinking that they could be in danger that's just how Pokémon league work" Iris explained.

Ash was the first to walk into the room he's eyes instantly lit up when he saw Goh was awake Goh felt Ash's arms wrap around him "Oh Goh thank god your awake"

"Oh, Ash I'm glad to see you" Goh responded feeling his body being constricted by Ash's hug.

"Ash could you let me go I think you're gonna choke me" Goh laughed.

"Oh, god sorry about that" Ash quickly apologized unwrapping himself from Goh.

"How ya, feeling Goh?" Iris asked.

"Okay I guess hurts like hell"

"Ya I guess that weird Hariyama backhanded you pretty good"

"Is that happened?"

"Ya, after that Mars and her robot pals screwed off and couldn't find them after"

"Shit I'm sorry about that" Goh replied.

"Dude don't worry about it making sure that the Hariyama-T1000 didn't kill you was more important than Team Galactic"

"Besides they didn't end up with that Water Tera Crystal" Ash smirked.

"Wait really?"

"Ya, apparently your Inteleon managed to steal the thing from them it's at the Cerise lab right now" Goh felt like laughing at the fact that his Inteleon had managed to steal a giant Terra Crystal from a criminal organization.

"Ya and then stupid La Primera had to come and talk to us like toddlers about bureaucracy stuff" Iris scoffed "Yeesh I can see why Diantha and Cynthia don't like her she's all business talk"

"Speaking of which did you find out about what those weird androids were"

"I did find something" Chloe announced handing Goh a pair of old-looking books titled El Libro Escarlata and El Libro Violeta.

"I asked Kofu if he knew anything about and he said there were these books written by this guy who explored The Great Crater"

Goh began flipping through the pages the first ones documenting the preparation and journey down to The Great Crater. At the back of the books were numerous drawings of strange-looking forms of Pokémon he had seen.

"I don't know about this Chloe I mean it says here that the Volcarona is called Iron Moth and is a UFO sent to spy on humanity sounds like this guy just made it up"

"But Iris that's the exact thing we saw yesterday"

Goh froze at a page covering a strange-looking Donphan described as having lived since ancient times.

"Ash hand me my phone" Ash unplugged Goh's phone from his side table scrolling through his messages he saw that his parents had been trying to contact him. Goh frowned slightly he had gone into the baseball stadium the morning and his parents didn't try to call him until 10:pm even when their son was almost killed by a robot sumo wrestler did they bother to call him his Grandmother had phoned within half an hour he'd make sure to call her back later.

Shoving that thought into the back of his mind he went down to Mr. Cerise looking for the photo of the weird Donphan he had seen hanging around the lab. It was an exact match to the one in the book.

It was common for wild Pokémon to hang around the lab but the fact that one of these "Paradox Pokémon" was around the lab was extremely weird.

It was also extremely weird was Goh dreamed about his encounter with Lugia it wasn't the first time he had dreams about places he had been with Ash. Goh had read about the meaning of dreaming of places you've been before it said that it meant that you don't want to leave there, that you know what there is to know, and that you prefer the comfort of home.

Goh had interpreted the dreams as him wanting to keep traveling the world with Ash and he wanted to keep traveling with Ash since they had stopped when he came to Paldea.

But why was he dreaming about them again? and why was Ash never in any of them? when he got out of this place he needed to ask Jacq or Salvator about this because there was something deeper going on in the depths of Goh's mind.

"Alright guys be very careful we don't know where the Espathra is" Inteleon whispered as they walked around the hills of Artazon.

"What exactly do you want us to be looking out for?" Aerodactyl asked.

"Well you know Espathra her minions anything in the sky robots things that look like they came from the past that sort of thing," Inteleon said well he wasn't paying attention bumping right into a Meowth.

"Hey twerp what we're you going" Meowth yelled.

"Oh, hey it's you guys again!" Pelipper poked her head out from a hole with Wobbuffet, Glimmet, Bramblin, and Veluza.

"Yes, it's us again and we're looking for an Espathra have you seen any suspicious-looking activity or Pokémon around here?" Flygon asked.

"Yes, actually we saw a bunch of those Team Galactic grunts looking around here they went into this here cave" Wobbuffet responded pointing to the hole they were in.

"Well considering that all of us are working together for a common goal why don't we team up to find this Espathra and put a stop to their plots"

"And why would we trust you, twerps," Meowth asked.

"Meowth you do know these we're the ones who helped us with that Poison Tera Crystal right?" Pelipper replied.

"Wait really? the Twerps were the ones who helped you guys!"

"Meowth how many Donphan that look like that do you know?" Glimmet asked.

"Fair point"

"Alrighty, then that settles that. Let's go find this Espathra" Darmanitan lit a branch on fire to use as a torch everyone following him down the cave.

"Sheesh, this place is bigger than I thought," Absol remarked the cavern was very large and open with strange glowing moss hung from the wall.

"What was that!" Stantler yelled a strange knocking noise came from the side of the cave everybody braced for what was coming.

The cave wall suddenly collapsed as a robotic-looking Tyranitar and what looked like a Gardevoir and Gallade fusion came into view.

"Freeze put your hands where I can see them" Inteleon yelled holding out his finger.

"Wo now mate calm down" the Tyranitar responded.

"Wait, a minute Iron Thorns Iron Valiant what are you doing here?"

"Great Tusk you know these guys?" Spidops asked.

"Ya, these two live around that building in the depths of the crater what brings you two out here"

"We came on a rescue mission" Iron Valiant answered.

"Rescue mission?" everyone said in unison.

"Lots of mons have gone missing after that Espathra came we think that she has something to do with this" Iron Valiant explained.

"eso es lo que estamos buscando" Veluza replied.

"Ya, what he said is we're looking for that Espathra too we think that she's up to something and it has something to do with these Tera Crystals why don't we team up and find her"

"Sounds like a great plan mate"

"Agreed"

The party continued down the cavern a strange extremely dark green herb joined the moss on the side of the cavern walls how a plant could survive in near-complete darkness Inteleon didn't know.

"Alright then tell Espathra we got the Tera Crystal" A voice echoed through the cave everybody froze as there was somebody nearby.

"Alright, so what's the plan?" Raichu asked.

"Okay so here's the plan we all run out at the same time and tell them to freeze" Inteleon replied.

"That's your plan? you couldn't think of anything else?" Meowth sneered.

"Well, what do want there gonna get away with those Tera Crystals?"

"Well no"

"And do you have a better idea?"

"Also no"

"Well then it's settled now on the count of three we charge out to face that Espathra"

"One, Two, Three!" Inteleon called everybody charged out. Right into what must have been over a hundred Pokémon.

"Well okay then let's just go back and you pretend you never saw us" Everyone began to back away from the hostile Pokémon. Suddenly he caught sight of two giant glowing Tera Crystals one glowing a chocolate brown and the other a powder blue.

"Get them!" Espathra's minions charged at the party.

Everything was thrown into chaos Inteleon narrowly dodged Iron Thorns rushing past him bowling into a Jellicent with Wild Charge.

Inteleon saw Francois cornered by a Delibird Inteleon quickly dispatched it with a Snipe Shot.

"Thanks, Inteleon"

"You welcome defiantly gonna remember that you ow me when we get out of this" Inteleon responded dodging Lokix as smacked a Spinda with Axe Kick.

"X6th-Join me soldier on the 5LM# conquest" the strange-looking Magneton from the camera appeared in front of Inteleon and Francois.

"Is he talking to you or is he talking to me?"

"S: if you don't respond I will be forced to (*4F SA-attack"

"I think he's talking to you, Francois" The weird-looking Magneton fired a Zap Cannon at Francois. Inteleon pulled him out of the way.

"He's definitely talking to you"

"Go on I'll deal with this one" Iron Valiant stepped in between them their blade glowing bright pink. The weird Magneton fired a Thunder Wave Iron Valiant who easily dodged it smacking the Magneton with Psyco Cut.

"Hey, Great Tusk did you know who that weird Magneton was?"

"I don't know what a Magneton is" Great Tusk grunted sending a Hitmontop with Stomping Tantrum.

"Three heads, Three eyes does that ring a bell"

"Oh, you mean Sandy Shocks weird things half the time they speak gibberish" Great Tusk was smothered by a Body Slam from a Swalot although it only seemed to faze him.

"All talk to you later I have to deal with this first" Great Tusk charged at the Swalot with Megahorn sending them flying.

"Someone help" Misdreavus screamed dodging a Shadow Ball from the strange-looking Misdreavus he had seen earlier.

"Don't worry I got you, Missy!" Inteleon fired a Mud Shot at the Misdreavus although it seemed to only make it madder.

"Take this" The Misdreavus fired a Moonblast at Inteleon.

"Take this and this and this" Inteleon and Misdreavus had to keep dodging Moonblast.

"What's your problem?"

"Well just because I-" before the Weird Misdreavus could finish what she was saying Iron Thorns slammed into Misdreavus with Wild Charge.

"Flutter Man I should have reckoned that you would be here"

"And I should have known that you and Iron no fun number two would show up" Misdreavus fired another Moonblast at Iron Thorns who blocked it with Stone Edge.

"You go on mate all sort out Flutter Mane here" Iron Thorns reassured.

Inteleon looked over to see where the Tera Crystals were and to his shock, he saw a helicopter coming down to pick them up. Inteleon ran to stop the helicopter only to see the strange-looking Amoonguss.

"You!" The Amoonguss slammed into Inteleon with Sucker Punch.

"Well someone's fisty"

"You gonna make a nice dinner" the strange Amoonguss taunted. The strange Amoonguss has blasted aside from Darmanitan's Flare Blitz.

"Sure will I like my Mushroom's well done"

"Don't worry Inteleon I got this" Darmanitan reassured countering the Amoonguss's Payback with Hammer Arm.

"Thanks, Dar" Inteleon ran for the Tera Crystal ducking as Stantler knocked out an Eelektross with Double Edge and Frogadier knocked out a Boltund with Water Pulse.

Inteleon reached the Tera Crystals Iron Valiant was already there fighting with Spirit Break against a flurry of feathers Inteleon realized she was fighting Espathra.

Espathra leaped into the air dodging a Spirit Break unleashing a peculiar ray of light onto Iron Valiant.

Espathra was running circles around Iron Valiant smacking them with Energy Ball.

Espathra only seemed to be getting faster Inteleon realized that she was using her Speed Boost ability.

Inteleon got down on his knee to concentrate firing a Snipe Shot hitting Espathra's leg knocker her over.

Inteleon and Iron Valiant went for a U-turn and Spirit Break charging at Espathra.

"You fools" Espathra used Feather Dance flapping backward leaving a cloud of feathers in her wake.

"What the!" When Inteleon and Iron Valiant had cleared the feathers from their vision Espathra and the Tera Crystals were gone.

At the exit of the cave, the Helicopter was flying away with the rock and flying Tera Crystals Espathra and all of her minions were nowhere to be seen but Inteleon had a suspicion that they were in Pokeballs on the helicopter.

"Well, you know what guys at least we tried" Inteleon tried to reassure as they walked back into the lab.

"I had to take a Dragon Pulse to the head and what do we have to show for it?" Aerodactyl snapped.

"Well, how was I supposed to know that Espathra has an entire cult following her?"

"Well, I'm not too worried about it myself," Greedent said cheerfully.

"How are you not worried about this who knows what she's gonna do with those things?" Abomasnow responded.

"I'm more worried about Regieleki" the Electron Pokémon was floating in the middle of the lab a strange blue aura surrounding its body.

"What the!" everybody was surrounding Regieleki who normally was never seen as it spent most of its time in its Pokeball.

"What's happening with Regieleki?" Inteleon asked.

"We don't know it just came out of its Pokeball and it started glowing like that" Dewgong replied.

"Greetings Inteleon" Regieleki suddenly spoke its voice calm and commanding.

"What the Regieleki you can talk"

"I am the King of Bountiful Harvest I have come to speak with you"

"King of Bountiful Harvest? I thought you were called Regieleki?"

"What? no idiots I'm talking through Regieleki I'm using its body as a vessel"

"Wait King of Bountiful Harvest your Calyrex I heard stories about you when I was younger" Inteleon was shocked that he was speaking to the king of ancient Galar.

"Yes I do believe that is the name humans call me by"

"Can I ask why would a legendary like yourself be talking to us?" Abomasnow asked.

"I have seen the brave work that you all have put into finding and keeping the Tera Crystals out of the hands of Team Galactic"

"I would call it more stupid than brave" Spidops sneered Maushold smack him telling him to shut up.

"I need your assistance to stop Team Galactic. In a few weeks, the three Galarian birds will be flying over Paldea on their migration route south over the Sahara. Team Galactic already has their hands on the Flying Tera Crystal and if my suspicions are correct they want to get the Psychic, Dark, and Fighting Tera Crystal and use them to control the three legendary birds"

"Wait but why would Tera Crystals affect the Galarian birds?" Iron Valiant asked.

"That's the thing the Galarian birds aren't regional variations of Arcticuno, Zapdos, and Moltres but are paradox forums like yourself Iron Thorns, and Great Tusk they migrate across the continent down across the Mediterranean like any other Paldean native the Tera Crystals can have a profound effect"

"Why would they want control of the legendary birds though?" Absol asked.

"I don't know but since their goals involve creating a new world without emotions I believe they want to use the magical properties that the crater holds for their plots. They don't know what they're messing with if they succeed they could start pulling things from different times and places and who knows what kind of damage messing with so many timelines like that could cause"

"I need you guys to stop them for me I will try to get to Paldea as fast as I can but my steeds can only go so fast. If a new Tera Crystal is found I will let you know we must put a stop to Team Galactic" Regieleki stopped glowing and collapsed to the ground.

A sudden burst of blue energy flowed through the ground a massive map of Paldea appeared in front of them.

"Well alrighty then guys looks like we've got to solve this mystery"

"Look there on one of those Islands" Great Tusk pointed to one of the Islands in the Paldean sea where a crystal was glowing lime green.

"Alrighty everyone get some rest in two days we're looking for that Bug-type Tera Crystal"
