It is not easy to comprehend how a Solgaleo could travel over for three thousand light-years, only to return to the same world it started on. But I hope for our sake that this journey did not lead to our true future – for it is a future where humanity fled this planet before the hunger of Guzzlord the devourer.
Guzzlord, like Kartana, was not a true alien, but the product of Man tampering with forces He did not understand. The people of Guzzlord's world had massively polluted their environments, to levels far beyond the ability of Garbodor to devour it, for the toxins often included heavy metals. Even their rapidly growing global population was not nearly sufficient in number, and the presence of Garbodor seemed to many even worse than that of inanimate toxic waste. Scientists sought to modify Garbodor with genes from Hydreigon, Snorlax, and other pokemon noted for their vast appetite, even incorporating elements of Gardevoir in the hopes of replacing their waste with a black hole in their stomach. At this, they succeeded – succeeded far more than they ever desired.
The traveler to meet Guzzlord could not determine whether it personally forced the abandonment of Earth, devouring all the world's cities as it did Hau'oli, or if it only represented the failure of humanity's last effort to save it. But it is reasonable to conclude that, were they not by this point a spacefaring civilization, humanity would have perished, together with countless species of nonvenomous pokemon.
We must cease repeating that timeline's grand mistake! For while the fact that this has not yet occurred offers a reason for hope, it also gives cause for an even greater fear; there is no guarantee Man develops space travel before it renders its own world – our world – uninhabitable.
