Zario's Saga Chapter 2
A portal appears on Mossdeep City. Zario and Righty appear out of that portal. That was a PSI Teleport. Zario senses some otherworldly power nearby. Righty points to the Space Center, where a tower resides above it.
Zario: I sense a disturbance in the horse.
Righty: Lucky. I don't even have the horse.
Zario: You sure? You sure do run like one when you were a kid.
Righty: No. I run FASTER than a horse then. Just not as fast as a cheetah. Anyway, where do you sense it?
Zario: I sense it somewhere in the heavens…
Righty: …There? By the way, sense what? The Gran Grimoire?
Zario: My second home planet!
Righty: Cool. Wait a millisecond.
Righty zooms inside the tower and sees the Gran Grimoire, which looks like a magical book, or rather, is a magical book. He grabs it and leaves.
Righty: Zario. I got it. Destroy the thing.
Zario: Where is my home?
Righty: Right here. Just destroy that tower so that I don't have to.
Zario: I will send your ashes back to hater!
Zario destroys the tower. However, the Gran Grimoire isn't in Righty's hands. Zario senses the book and finds Tate & Liza holding the Grimoire.
Tate: To get this book …
Liza: …you must defeat us …
Both: …in a Pokémon Battle.
Zario: Why can't I sue you?
Liza: The political system in Mossdeep greatly favors us, the Gym Leaders.
Tate: So that means either battle us or kill us and get in deep trouble by all known forces in this world.
Zario: Well, all the forces in this world are relatively powerless against me, but I am a moral guy, so I will just send ME in the battle!
Righty: Dude, I think the girl and the girl look-alike are talking about Pokémon battling.
Tate: HEY!!!
Righty: Well, you ARE!
Zario: They ARE!
Liza: I AM a girl!
Zario: …you are?
Liza: Yeah.
Zario hesitates at first, but he is forced to accept, even though he can easily kill both of them.
Meanwhile, Dill, in Orre, sneaks in the only tower in the middle of the desert. After acquiring some vital information regarding who is Neo Galactic X comprised of and its purpose, he sees Wes and another character: Michael. The three then work together, for now.
