Day 4 and our heroes are continuing their stay at Malie City for Nikki, James, and Tsukumaro's birthdays, two days following Sarah's win at the Kantonian Gym and we find them over at Lillie's intended destination, the Malie City Library.

It had been two days since Sarah came out on top and won at the Kantonian Gym and the following day, everybody decided to relax after the wild day they had before and did their own thing while Sarah went to the community center, completing the Weather Quiz that took place in it and thus earned herself a Heat Rock, a Damp Rock, an Icy Rock, and a Smooth Rock.

With the Damp Rock and Heat Rock, she turned them into necklaces and handed them to Goodra and Link, extending the duration of Rain Dance as well as Sunny Day when they're used in battle and given that the former was long overdue to have his own item.

Aurora was instead given the Ivy Rock as a necklace and Asha's Tyranitar was given the Smooth Rock attached to a bandana (which her sister appreciated).

Of course, once her outing in the convention center was over, Sarah paid a visit to the Kantonian Gym with a proposal to Ryuki and his friends which is to help them with Duke and Lolia's training which they kindly accepted. For the training match, Ryuki pitted his Gabite and Drampa against the male Poipole and fully-grown Meowth-turned-Persian and the results are well worth it because thanks to Kantonian Gym Leader and his Pokemon, Duke was finally able to learn Dragon Pulse again and reach Level 41, allowing him to finally become a Naganadel, and Lolita is now able to learn Play Rough and Night Slash.

Race joined her for his own training regime with Charlie and his friends along with some of the other Kantonian Gym members for Cocoa and Tou-Tou, allowing the former to evolve into a Midday Form Lycanroc while learning Double Team, Crunch, Rock Tomb, and Rock Slide (much to the delight of her and the other Lycanroc) and for Tou-Tou to learn X-Scissor and Crush Claw.

Away from the Kantonian Gym, Slurpuff took Loki, Kaulu, Axew Deino, and Dratini under their wing to help them with their fighting prowess given that Seviper and Zangoose were stronger and at higher power levels compared to them, and as a result, the two Riolu were able to learn Metal Claw, Axew gained Slash, Deino now knows Bite, and Dratini can now use Thunder Wave.

Needless to say, Hiccup and the others along with their dragons couldn't be happier for their Pokemon to have learned so much.

Once that was settled, everybody gathered with Solar and Athena at the Malie City Pokemon Center so the two of them can show them and Nurse Joy their video of Steel singing while he was in Nate's body during their temporary stay-in with the Beast Morphers rangers after their errand(s) with them and Grid Battleforce. The heroes and Nurse Joy didn't expect much but once they played the video, they were stunned by how amazing he was as a singer while in his brother's human body; none of them thought that he had any bars but they were blown away by his range. There was a lot of laughing from his dancing while he sang his heart out at the Riptide Bar & Gym but they loved every single minute of it and were deeply touched by how he was feeling while being a human.

Asha even joked that in terms of being a charmer, Aiyon would have some competition as ladies would want a man who can sing with absolute soul and passion.

Now, it's the 24th of May on a Monday as the heroes paid a visit to the Malie City Library which was a 2-story building located up north on the city's west road where the public would come to read any of the books being offered for rent. It was a safer option for them to go as well because of the cloudy weather that came with scattered lightning storms in the distance.

And, being the more knowledgeable brains and bookworms of their group, Hiccup, Zenna, and Fishlegs could only stare in awe and fascination at the thousands of books strewn upon the library's shelves.

Their Pokemon and dragons couldn't help but giggle and give amused warbles as Lillie grinned at the wide selection of books Malie City's library has to offer, "Wow, I never imagined this library holding thousands of books compared to the one we visited back at Melemele Island!"

"Yeah, and the only other one I've seen in Ula'Ula is Acerola's during my and Ash's first visit when we were seeing Nanu regarding the Grand Trial we undertook," Sarah admitted, also impressed by the book selections.

"Whoa, what an archive pad!" Goodra gawked.

"Interesting, is this place what you humans would call a library?" Link questioned Sarah, getting her attention.

"Sure, Link, whenever you feel like reading something for a school project, for fun, or to learn more about our region, this is the place to be."

"Indeed but I am curious as to whether or not there would be books on magic here," Tsukumaro remarked, looking through one of the shelves for a book to his fancy.

"Maybe, maybe not, you never know until you give a look and find the one you like."

"So, what are you going to read about here, Sarah?" Sophocles asked as he and Togedemaru found a book they liked before they could move off to a table or chair to read it.

"I'm thinking of going to the upper floor, the librarian said it contains several books on Alola's past including the Guardian Deities, the Island Kahunas of the ages, and Legendary Pokemon. I'm actually curious as to find out what happened to Commander Levi, his squadron, or even the Mythical Creatures from 500 years ago," Sarah replied as she prepared to head upstairs.

"Oh, right. I remember, you've been trying to figure out the mystery regarding the creatures for a while now," Mallow mentioned.

"It would do us good to know of what happened to our commander and his forces let alone the creatures."

"And, see if there are any clues here of their current whereabouts," David and Donna (former queen) concurred, looking over a few more bookshelves close by.

"You know what, maybe you can read up on Tapu Koko so you can figure out a plan if he ends up challenging you again, too," Sophocles noted to the princess, thinking back to her rematch with the Melemele Guardian.

"Maybe I should but it has been a while since we've seen him and I don't know when and where he'll turn up now..." Sarah nodded thoughtfully before he looked at Ash and Kiawe, seeing the two of them awkwardly trying to find a book they like and read but feeling out of place as of now. "Aren't you two going to stay and have a light read while you're here?"

"Er... No, you all go ahead with that. Reading's, well... Never really my forte," Kiawe replied sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

"Me, neither," Ash replied, feeling the same as he shrugged. "But, we're going to go outside the city and train for the Pokemon League."

Kiawe cheekily smirked as he nodded in agreement and eyed Sarah knowingly, "You owe us a match for showing us up like you, Rapidash, and Ponyta did during your match against Ryuki."

Sarah chuckled knowingly as she told them, "Hey, don't get your hopes up too high. You might be on the receiving end of my battle dance as well before you know it should Kukui allow us to decide how our own matches should go."

"Yeah, I bet she and whichever Pokemon she'll battle with dance and clobbers you guys in circles for the whole match," Asha sniggered while she's reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

"Okay, whatever floats your boat. But, you're really missing out on a world of valuable literature," Race replied as Kiawe and Ash left to begin training for the Pokemon League again.

However, what the heroes didn't count on was the fact that they were unaware of a few little green blobs (cells, if anybody knows what they are) are watching the gang in the library after finding them on their first day in Malie City, keeping a watchful eye on them as they went about their business.

Huh, who are they and what are they up to?

Pokemon Sun & Moon - The Warrior Princess

As Kiawe and Ash were on their own to do some training outside the city for the Pokemon League and the others are busy pouring over some books they like to read for whatever reasons they have, Sarah and her family were on the upper floor for the little princess had found some books pertaining to Alola's past, Legendary Pokemon, the Island Kahunas, and the region's Guardian Deities.

"Okay, I found the books we're looking for," Sarah called her family as she arrived and they gathered around a table large enough that'll allow them all to see what she was going to read.

"What'd you find?" Blitz asked as she sat in the middle of them and brought out the first book she found.

"Here's the first one I found, '*Aftermath of the Ultra Beast War*'. This one details everything that immediately happened after Team Eclipse and Necrozma were sealed all those years ago along with when the Alolan Royal Monarchy was first abolished and the events that followed."

"Do you think this book here has whatever answers we need on what happened to Commander Levi and his squadron, baby?" Doug asked.

"We're about to find out."

"Have faith, My Lord. Even if this is our only chance to discover what happened to them, this is not our last hope," Tsukumaro reassured as he was handed the book while his goddaughter took up the book detailing Legendary Pokemon and the Guardian Deities, remembering that since she had the Pokemon Gems of several of them by now, she needed to know how and when to use them so learning about their powers was the first step in her mind.

The first book she opened was that of the Guardian Deities before she went to the pages that talked about Tapu Koko and saw his massive move set researchers had deducted thus far. Recalling her matches with him, she remembered him using Discharge, Nature's Madness, and Dazzling Gleam and according to the book, she discovered that he learned those attacks at Level 48 even if she knew he was much stronger than that.

"Tapu Koko... He's much more of a fighter from a physical standpoint so with his Lightning Rod ability, Blitz is still one of my biggest trump cards but if I'm ever going to counter his move set, especially Nature's Madness, I'll need to help him learn a series of counters to deal with him," Sarah thought as she read through the information regarding the Melemele Deity.

Turning briefly to the book she got on Pokemon moves and strategies for Pokemon Battles, a Pikachu would be able to learn Light Screen, Reflect, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Focus Punch along with Charm, Nasty Plot, and Reflect (all moves used by Curly, Duke, and Aqua), all being strategic moves with Focus Punch being possible via a Move Tutor since Mienshao had such an attack as part of her move set.

"So, what I need for Blitz to learn are Focus Punch, Reflect, Nasty Plot, Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Charm. Seven moves may seem like enough but knowing Kukui and his plans for the Pokemon League, if he's having it completed in record time and if Tapu Koko should challenge either me or Ash at the end of it should he make his decision on who to battle between the two of us... It's gonna be a grindfest but it'll be worth it once we're through."

With her plan on dealing with Tapu Koko worked out, she switched back to the book on Legendary Pokemon and read away before she came across a page that detailed information about Zygarde, the last of Kalos' Aura Trio and the Order Pokemon. But, while she read away and Chien-Pao, Link, Zelda, Blitz, and Curly joined her, there was something that quickly caught her attention.

"Zygarde, huh? Hmm, that's funny; it says here that rumors began to spread around Alola in recent years regarding the appearance of Zygarde Cells, the elements that make up the Order Pokemon itself, within this city, all of them being hidden in plain sight. But, as far as researchers, even Prof. Burnet and Prof. Kukui, are concerned, nobody knows whether or not if it's true."

"You thinking that there are some of these Zygarde Cell things popping about in Alola?" Chien-Pao quizzed, guessing what Sarah's thinking after reading the passage she was on.

"Yeah, Zygarde is the Protector of Order along with the Guardian of Life and the Cocoon of Destruction, Xerneas and Yvetal, respectively. But, who knows given the Destruction Pokemon's obviously-destructive behavior? We saw both Zygarde and Xerneas last year after we've beaten Rose and Oleana when they paddled out of hiding for revenge and that was long before the likes of you, the Fidough Sisters, and Rotoscope along with Mom, Dad, and their Tomoe Squad came along," Sarah nodded, remembering very well the appearance of the Order Pokemon (in 50% Forme) and Xerneas following the defeat of Rose and Oleana and one of Team Eclispe's previous defeats along with her earning the pair's Pokemon Gems.

"And, you think they're still watching over us right now even though it's been a while?" Blitz asked as Sarah took out her Sun Sword and unsheathed the blade to reveal the Xerneas and Zygarde Gems as she eyed them.

"Maybe... I mean, after what happened to us following our capture of those two Galar runaways, who's to say they still aren't from the shadows after meeting them months ago?"

Mai scurried around the ground while looking for a book she could read from the lower shelves but she sensed something behind her and yet, when she turned, she didn't see anything. Deciding to leave what disturbed her, for now, she went back to scurrying for a book she can read while her family did their research. Two hours in and they appeared to be done as they regrouped and discussed what they all found or didn't find in regards to what they're looking for.

"Find anything, Mom, Dad?" Sarah asked her blood parents.

"I'm afraid not, dear. Not much is known about Levi and his squadron, the book said they vanished without a trace after the Ultra Beast War as your father and I once did," Delilah admitted.

"Even so, the fact that this is open-ended should give us hope that they're still alive. We only have no idea regarding their current location," Tsukumaro nodded optimistically to his goddaughter. "I wouldn't suggest that they're dead, anyway; they always have a way to stay alive for our sakes. But, how has your research into Tapu Koko coming along?"

"Well, the pages on him helped me recognize what his move set is and I have an idea of how to counter it through certain moves I'll be able to teach Blitz later on. Something tells me he'll want to challenge me a third time at the Pokemon League should you all and Prof. Kukui be done with it."

As the royal family began to go further into their research to date, Mai continued to sense that they were not alone as someone or something was behind them and watching close by. She looked around again but she didn't see anything and when she extended one of her shadow arms to where the presence was, she felt something squishy and soft which was a green blob as she pulled it out. But, this was not a food stain or a goo stain of any sort; it looked as though it was something else for it then opened its eye at her.

"EEEK!" she shrieked in fright, getting Sarah's attention as she turned to her little Mimikyu.

"Mai, what's wrong?" Sarah asked before the royal family suddenly noticed some more little figures similar to the one Mai found slowly revealing themselves (which were actually Zygarde Cells).

"Bloody hell...!" gasped Tsukumaro in silent shock (keeping as quiet as he can given that he and the royal family were in a library).

"What are they?" breathed Asha, stunned as the Zygarde Cells gathered around them and prompted Sarah to look back in the Legendary Pokemon book, making her recognize them given her research into the Order Pokemon.

"Zygarde Cells, just like the ones depicted in the book..." the little princess replied.

"Greetings, humans," one of the cells closest to Sarah greeted via telepathy.

The royal family gasped in shock again as they all heard the Zygarde Cell speak with Race remarking, "No way..."

Gasping in silent shock as well, Donna (former queen) quietly added, "Fascinating, a Pokemon that can speak...!"

"It must be telepathy as was the case with the Swords of Justice and Little Star," David deducted, also taken aback.

Blitz looked between the cells before them and the book's pages detailing Zygarde before he asked the cells, "**Forgive me but aren't you all a little too small to be Kalos' Order Pokemon from the Aura Trio?**"

"We all are Zygarde. This is what we all usually look like since we're separate cells and it takes a lot of power for us to come together and regain our true forms," a second Zygarde Cell explained.

"I never knew that. But, why are you here, and how many of you are there in total? You guys can't be the only cells around here if you're all hiding out," Sarah inquired to the Zygarde Cells.

"There's a reason for that, My Lady. And, you'll find it not in the books you already have but from another one upon the shelves," a third Zygarde Cell told her as it hopped onto one of the shelves (second shelf upon the bookshelf standing from the royal family's right) and stood next to another book, "Untold Mysteries", as it was labeled. "If you pick up this one and look at what's inside it, you'll understand how many of us there are and the mystery involving us."

Curious as to what the third cell was talking about, Sarah joined it and picked up the book it recommended but when she opened it and looked inside the cover, all that was inside it was a little lever attached to it, telling her it was actually a fake book. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she pulled the lever back as it clicked into place and the bookshelf slowly slid outward to the right (remarkably doing so without attracting the attention of anybody else on the same floor as her and her family and down below including her friends).

As it did so, it is revealed that there was a hidden passageway lined with torches running down a spiral structure akin to the chambers underneath Hyrule Castle as in TLOZ: Tears of the Kingdom. Sarah and her family were once again stunned beyond belief as they had no idea that a hidden passage was inside the Malie City Library and even Race and Asha couldn't wrap their heads around why such a passage was there in the first place. Knowing of Sarah's pension for exploring and deciding to see what was inside, with Nikki, James, Race, and Asha joining them, the royal family descended down the spiral passage to see what was on the other side and figure out the mystery concerning the Zygard Cells (of which followed them down the passage).

Similar to how Link and Zelda in Tears of the Kingdom went down the underground cavern passage several feet below the Hyrule Castle they both thought they knew until reaching Ganondorf and Rauru's hand and Secret Stone in the underground catacombs that featured the murals depicting the Imprisoning War, the events leading up to it, and Ganondorf's sealing along with Zelda's sacrifice into the Light Dragon until Link's journey in the game, the royal family made their way at least 30 ft. down below Ula'Ula Island in the secret passage with only the torches lidden side by side to guide them (coupled with a few references to the Zonai scattered along the caverns along the way) before they found themselves in an extensive area that's as huge as the depths of Hyrule.

It was a sight to behold for them all to behold; studded in the area are cliffs, additional caves, waterfalls, and large pools of seawater where water-bound creatures and Water Type Pokemon either gather or make their homes in. Many of the different species of plants inside the area were fed mineral-rich water from underground hot springs, making them thrive from the moist and warm climate within it.

There was even some green lichen clinging onto the basaltic rock as ferns established a foothold into the relatively-flat plateaus, rocks, steps, and cliffs that dotted the place and many beautiful crystals of different colors jutted out in different spots which added to the mysticism and beauty of it. But, the biggest shock of all that left the royal family speechless was the type of inhabitants that had been inside the caverns for some time; these included the mythical creatures present from the Wizarding World 500 years ago (including all of the dragon species) and dragons from Prryah's world.

There was even a vast number of Gryphilite living alongside them and some other ancient Mythical Pokemon and all of them are either flying, running, walking, or napping peacefully about, practically breeding and growing in numbers over the centuries since many of them called the caverns their home and all were being watched over by Storm Dragons such as Stormcloud and Avel.

"These are the Depths of Alola, found only under the Malie City Library as far as time can tell," the third Zygarde Cell introduced to the thunderstruck royal family.

"What a fascinating land," Chien-Pao blinked in shock and awe.

"It's incredible," breathed Zelda, sounding awestruck despite her robotic nature.

"I've never seen anything like this before!"

"These depths rival the Depths of Hyrule that we've explored while playing Tears of the Kingdom!"

"Only more colorful!"

"And, brighter!" Curly, Blitz, Cyndaquil, and Skiddo gasped.

"And, look at all the dragons in this place!" Leafeon blinked, seeing the amount and variety of dragons living in the Depths of Alola doing their own things alongside their fellow inhabitants.

"Check it out, guys, Mom, Dad! There are all sorts of mythical creatures from the Wizarding World 500 years ago like in the time Hogwarts Legacy took place!" Sarah cried in amazement.

"Including Gryphilite from the Horntail incident!" Tsukumaro added.

"Even dragons from Prryah's world," Race noted, impressed.

The Gryphilite, hearing Tsukumaro's voice, turned to the royal family and recognized their old friend from over 500 years ago before they flew down and nuzzled him including the leader of the pack (who was just as surprised and delighted to see the old advisor after so long).

"Gryphilite, how have you been, old boy?" Tsukumaro cooed gently, he and the leader exchanging warm smiles while the latter cooed back warmly.

"Looks like they recognized you after all this time, old friend," smiled Doug.

"Good thing we found these caverns where all those Storm Dragons are, now Avel will have more of his kind to play with," Glaceon smiled, seeing the Storm Dragons living out their lives in the catacombs peacefully.

"Your Majesties, Tsukumaro...?" called a voice, getting the royal family's attention.

The royal family turned and they found a familiar man Sarah saw from Mischief's illusions showing the day of her parents' coronation and Lothor's exile after he tried to have her killed along with a squadron of 500 royal guards coming from behind him (some of them having surprisingly turned into Zonai from the conditions of the caverns they were in or whatever essence was coming from the crystals themselves inside the caverns).

"...Commander Jaeger!" Tsukumaro cried in shock.

"Levi!" Doug and Delilah gawked.

"My King, My Queen, Tsukumaro," Levi nodded, bowing to the pair and old advisor before he did the same to Donna (former queen) and David. "My Lord, My Lady..."

He turned to Sarah and did the same but with a surprisingly warm smile in contrast to his dutiful stoic stare, "Princess, I'm relieved to see you unharmed and healthy. We all are..."

"Your Majesties," the human and Zonai men and women in the royal guard greeted, all of them bowing in respect to the last Alolan Royal Family.

"Please rise," Doug called, prompting them to get up and face them as he and royal family smiled at them.

"Levi, you don't know how relieved we are to see you and your soldiers alive and well. We were worried that you would've been dead following our sacrifice 500 years ago given that you had no reason to protect our home or fight anymore," Delilah added in relief.

"I'm more relieved for all of you after seeing you all back together again," Levi replied before he spotted the Pokemon and dragons with them along with Asha and Race and their own Pokemon. "Ah, I see you have company with you. Are any of them in any relation to you?"

Tsukumaro nodded as he formally introduced Sarah's sister-in-law from her adoptive family and her boyfriend, "Commander, we'd like you and your soldiers to meet the princess' dearly beloved and her sister-in-law from the humans our region's fair king and queen entrusted her to. This is Asha, daughter of the humans, Nikki and James, and this young man with us is Race Konami, former Hoenn Battle Frontier Champion."

Asha and Race bowed in kind to the commander and his soldiers as they were introduced but what he said about Race piqued the commander's interest as he inquired while eying the former Battle Frontier Champion, "Tsukumaro, when you said that this young man is the princess' dearly beloved, are you saying...?"

Tsukumaro nodded as he stayed silent, allowing Race to answer him as he said, "That's right, I'm her boyfriend. We confirmed this after Island Girl's old home was brought out into the open in part of the awakening of her family's Legendary Tree."

The mention of the Legendary Tree caught the commander's soldiers by surprise as they muttered amongst themselves in awe and amazement.

"But, what we're all surprised about the most is the fact that you're all still alive and some of you have changed forms to become an interesting form of creature before us. I don't understand, how were you able to survive for so long for the last 500 years and become not just humans but also these strange beings?" Donna (former queen) questioned.

"I think these caverns underneath Malie City and the library must've put them in stasis somehow just like Mischief, Persian, and Mom and Dad's Tomoe Squad back home. I'm not sure how some of them were able to change into Zonai from Tears of the Kingdom but I think it had something to do with the crystals here or the current living conditions of these caverns they unknowingly adapted to when they were put into stasis," Sarah theorized.

"Although, if I had to guess, I believe it was Master Rajhu who created these underground areas 500 years ago when Hisui was changing to become Sinnoh. A feat, I assume, that was unprecedented by mankind and not discovered by anybody apart from us," Tsukumaro theorized, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"You're right, I'm responsible for the catacombs you've passed by and what you're in now called the Depths of Alola," the spirit in question replied as he appeared alongside Levi and his human/Zonai squadron. "Welcome, my friends, I've wondered when you'll be able to come here. Your men and women in your royal guard are all safely here although I assure you, they're not just human now given my part in creating these depths as you saw here."

"You mean like with how some of the guards are now Zonai from the Tears of the Kingdom game my Pokemon and I were playing?" Sarah quizzed, getting a confirming nod from Rajhu as he gave another nod to the soldiers, allowing the majority of them to close their eyes as he enchanted them to reveal what they now are apart from their normal human selves.

The royal family was shocked to discover that apart from some of them now being Zonai, while some including Levi stayed human, the others are now a mix of creatures from the Legend of Zelda series while retaining their human characteristics including Zoras, Gerudos, Ritos, Gorons, and Hylians. Levi, however, took off a piece of cloth he was wearing on his right arm and revealed that he now sported what looked like a right Zonai arm akin to Rauru's.

Sarah and her entire family were unsure of what to say until Rajhu chuckled and explained to them as he observed Levi and his soldiers, "Your old commander and his squadron fought valiantly against Lothor and his forces from Team Eclipse all those years ago but many of them have been mortally wounded in the battle and close to death so I took matters into my own hands when I discovered them 500 years ago and created the Depths of Alola for them to live in following Necrozma and the syndicate's initial defeat."

"Their wounds were severe but they all had strong wills to live so I am relieved to see that they escaped death; I had to give a majority of them new bodies while retaining their humanity so they wouldn't suffer any more than they should've which was not easy until you humans in later years gave me the inspiration to do so with, of all things, these Legend of Zelda video games. However, your commander's right arm was beyond saving because of the ones you call Ivanka and Dusknoir. Like with much of his squadron with their new bodies to replace their old ones, I had to replace it lest the wound he endured will endanger him further. In a way, you could say that this is similar to what I've done for Equestria's wildlife to ensure that they survive with no further trouble."

"I won't be able to forgive Ivanka and her ghost for pummeling me like they did but in a way, I'm glad they made me appreciate my life which makes it easier for me to be ready for whatever comes at us next. By the way, Team Eclipse and Lothor, what exactly happened to them?" Levi questioned his superiors.

"They're gone, Levi; Lothor and his monstrous horde are finished. They will cause Alola and the world no further trouble thanks to our daughter, her friends, and all of the allies they made along their travels," Delilah reassured.

"It's because of all of them that our daughter was able to finish what we started and put an end to him and his horrible syndicate forever," Doug concurred.

"Levi! Is that you out there?"

"Levi, who are you talking to?" two voices spoke up but in Pokemon Speak as a large clan of Hisuian Pokemon (which looked just like the ones depicted in the artwork Cynthia showed them and their friends at the Hisuian Festival) including Wyrdeer, Basculegon, and even a large pack of Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark.

This further shocked the royal family and the Pokemon and dragons with them as they gawked at the sight of the ancient Pokemon with Levi and his squadron and yet another group of creatures Rajhu had a hand in preserving and protecting, "Are those...?"

"It can't be!"

"But, it is!" Blitz and Curly gasped after Sarah, thunderstruck at the Pokemon standing before them and their family.

"Hisuian Pokemon, like in those paintings we saw before!"

"Many of them, here!"

"Within Alola's Depths!" Nikki, James, and Freezeon balked.

"Why are they all here?!"

"I thought they were all gone after Hisui became Sinnoh!"

"Absolutely astounding!"

"Truly amazing!"

"Wyrdeer, Hisuian Growlithe, Avalugg, Sneasler, Hisuian Arcanine...These depths must have a ton of them living in here!"

"This is seven kinds of freaky!"

"And, look at that Typhlosion!"

"Samurott and Decidueye, too!" Bella, Robbie, Guardeon, Tai Lung, Ghost (Dragapult), Splattertail, Pouncer, and Zap blinked in total shock and awe.

"Geez, Island Girl, I don't know how your luck's turning out or how you did it but I guess you've got your wish for your small Hisuian of two granted," added a shocked Race to his girlfriend.

"I didn't think this would actually happen!" Sarah rebutted in response.

"But, what I want to know is how did they get here in the first place," Asha remarked as Sho and Arrietty looked at their kind.

The two of them were left speechless as they approached their fellow Pokemon until the other Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark smiled and warmly welcomed them with open arms, causing them to tear up and nuzzle them happily.

"Those two look happier now."

"I'm sure this is what they've been hoping for ever since the princess took them in," Helioseon and Cobalt remarked, smiling warmly at the two Hisuian Pokemon reveling in the reunion with their two species, Sho especially after so much time alone with only himself and his mother being the only ones of their kind left as far as they know.

"And, what of Necrozma? Was he taken care of while we were gone?" a shocked and stunned Levi asked his superiors (who were left speechless for several moments regarding the fate of Lothor and Team Eclipse), wondering about what could've happened to Necrozma.

"He's alright now. He's been restored to his original self because of our daughter and her friends along with everybody in our entire kingdom and a few others in the world they were fighting him in," David put in, further shocking their commander and his soldiers but also filling them with intense relief.

"That's amazing!"

"Your Highnesses, your daughter and those aligned with her have saved us all!"

"We'll never thank you all and Princess Sarah enough!"

"Lothor truly didn't know what was coming before him!"

"I doubt anybody like him wouldn't think twice before messing with our princess!"

"YEAH!"

"We owe you our lives, Princess!"

"Our region is safe thanks to you and your friends!"

"With the Blinding One back because of you all, peace has been restored!"

"Princess, you've done wonders for us all!" the soldiers gasped before they sang their praises about and to Sarah.

"LONG LIVE PRINCESS SARAH!" the soldiers chanted, causing Sarah to blush and her parents to give hearty chuckles as they hugged and ruffled her hair.

But, the happiness was short-lived because upon seeing the new humans with the people they knew in the Depths of Alola, all of the Hisuian Zoroark and Zorua started to hiss aggressively at them.

"H-Hey! What's the big deal?!" blinked a baffled Piplup.

"Those Zoroark and Zorua don't look very friendly," gulped Phanpy.

"What's the big deal? We didn't do anything to make them pissed off about us!"

"Much like anything you haven't been doing which involves leaping before you look in a fight beforehand?" Brawleon and Craggeon bantered as Rotoscope appeared to try and take photos of what he and everybody else on his end are seeing.

"...I guess even now, some things never change. Humans were the reason the Hisuian Zoroark and Zorua are what they are now," Sarah breathed, trying to keep calm even though her nerves were running after the Baneful Fox and Spiteful Pokemon started hissing aggressively at her and her human family.

"I get the picture; humans did make enemies out of those Pokemon at the time so given that a few of us are humans, unlike the ones they knew while living here, I'm not surprised they're turning their anger on us since the humans they hated are all gone," Race nodded knowingly.

"And, like, don't look now but if you think Eternatus was nothing but a sad sack before my girl here got him, take a look at what's coming! 'Cause they're the tip of the iceberg compared to that big fish!" Rotoscope quipped in surprise, seeing what looked like one of the Hisuian Zoroark hissing at the royal family approaching everybody except it stood at double Arrietty's normal height and sported a pair of truly intimidating red eyes.

"EEP!" Buneary shrieked in fright as she hid behind Skiddo who just tensed under the larger Zoroark's gaze.

"Uh, guys... I don't wanna be turning my tail running but, is that a Totem Pokemon you told us Okoya Jungle Pokemon about?" the Mount Pokemon gulped, sweating nervously as he and nearly everybody else held the giant Pokemon's gaze while others blinked or hid behind each other.

"Dude, Totem Pokemon are not that big or scary. That guy here is an Alpha Pokemon, the most powerful Pokemon and the leader of each of our species," Sho answered, looking at his Alola family. "You can say they're your Totem Pokemon ancestors or predecessors of sorts."

"Who dares to trespass upon our home? Humans and Pokemon associated with such filth, get out and never come back!" the Alpha Baneful Fox Pokemon growled as it glared at the royal family.

"Yo, big man, chill out! We're not that bad, do we look like we might hurt you? Why would we or these humans with us want to hurt you, we're not trespassing! We were given special access by a few new friends of ours. You can trust them AND trust us, we wouldn't harm a fly," Zorua quipped, being unafraid of her species and evolved forms' giant Hisui ancestor and raising an incredulous eyebrow at the Alpha Hisuian Zoroark.

"You insolent child, you dare to mock us by standing up for the monsters that made us as we are?! Humans have been nothing but a thorn in our sides for hundreds of years since we came to Hisui at that time! They've insulted us, demeaned us, treated us like we're nothing but vermin, almost like we're nothing but harmful cattle! All the crap we were forced to go through, they're the reason why we've become the Pokemon we are now, to get our revenge on the ones that dared to treat us like brainless beasts! Why should we bother trusting you when you'll end up repeating the same violent cycle we were forced to live through?"

"Dude, if you think that, you have no idea what my girl is like. She's nothing like those brainless muppets who bullied you to hell and back and she has a big heart to come with her looks and more."

Sarah soon stepped forward as she swallowed her fear, steeled herself, and began to speak with the Alpha Hisuian Zoroark, "Mr. Alpha, please don't take us the wrong way! My family and I come in peace, I'm sorry if you think we've trespassed upon you and your fellow Pokemon's domain but you must know it wasn't intentional; it was because we were told about this place by some Zygarde Cells that have been watching us ever since we came from the library above and hinted us about this place. But, about what you and your species went through..."

The Alpha Pokemon just glared at Sarah suspiciously along with the rest of its species and the Hisuian Zoroark as the little princess sighed and continued, "...I'm so sorry for what has happened to you all; Sho and Arrietty told my family and I everything when we first encountered them while we and some friends of ours were on a journey to find my mom and dad by blood. I can't imagine what you've all gone through that made you become the Spiteful Pokemon and the Baneful Fox Pokemon that you all are now but I can assure you that despite what you might think, not all humans are bad and humanity, in a sense, can still be good!"

"Why should we believe you?" Alpha Hisuian Zoroark quizzed, still suspicious of Sarah and her words.

"I can't say for certain that everything has changed for better or worse but I can assure you all, on behalf of those who have the heart to care for Pokemon and not judge them for anything superficial or otherwise that would turn them off from Pokemon such as you, I will tell you this: we are nothing like those monsters who dared to scorn you and attack you simply by not understanding you, my family and I and my people are nothing like those from Hisui who harmed you. We respect your power and your abilities in your original forms including your transformations and illusions! We're not afraid of you and your kind even if you try to hurt us by using the power of fear, thinking you would implement some long-awaited retribution towards those who have wronged you and deciding that the humans of this era are your prime targets for revenge are as good as them."

The Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark and the Alpha Hisuian Zoroark didn't know what to say as they growled, chirped, and muttered amongst themselves as Sarah continued to speak from her heart, "I know this may come as a shock to you all but I was proud to accept Sho and Arrietty into my family and I still am! I loved them just as I loved my father's Zoroark and I do not regret it, ever!"

"My daughter speaks the truth and she told my husband and I everything with Young Sho and Ms. Arrietty's confirmation. We feel great sympathy for you but we also implore you to give the people of this generation and era time to come to terms with your true colors once you show them that you're nothing like those horrible humans in your time suggested. Maybe by then, you'll learn that not all humans are as selfish and cruel as you once thought them to be," Delilah agreed, stepping forward alongside Sarah from her right with Doug approaching from Sarah's left.

Alpha Hisuian Zoroark was silent for a moment before it eventually looked at the royal couple and their daughter in the eyes and told them, "...You sound like you speak the truth and your eyes didn't lie as to the type of people you really are compared to the beasts that demeaned and demonized us. But, I wouldn't call you all and those associated with you...friends, just because you could emphasize the pain we were forced to live throughout our lies and the fact that I'm not clawing your necks right now."

"Big deal, Claw Face. My pipsqueak and her friends are nothing like those meat bags who bagged you, she's not fazed by my hatred for humanity nor what happened after what they've done to me after I was reawakened," Eternatus scoffed, irking the Alpha Pokemon as it turned its heated glare at him.

"You hold your tongue, lizard! How would you know about the pain we've suffered from humanity, you couldn't possibly understand!"

"Can't I? How would you like it if you had to be shunned and appalled by humanity 3000 years ago just to look for a home or someone to call a friend and be left with nothing but hatred and discontent for a monster such as myself at first glance? Then, after all that shit, imagine coming across my pipsqueak who doesn't even fear me. I hated her at first but she was patient with me, understood my pain through empathy, and opened my heart until I finally accepted her..."

"3000 years?"

"Being sealed away just for looking like a monster?!"

"No way!" cried some Hisuian Zorua in total disbelief and shock.

"Way. Sarah told Mom and I she and a few friends in Galar along with her godfather and the rest of her family went tooth and nail against the Big Bad Black Lizard along with the Heroes of Galar, Zacian and Zamazenta. They could've beaten him and put him underground but she instead chose to take him in and help him adapt to humanity and she did it all without whining and complaining," Sho nodded.

"She managed to reach out to Eternatus through only her kindness and compassion and she was extremely patient with him for so long, it's hard for him to tell whether or not it was a ruse or actually genuine until he went through a series of events that led him to finally accept her as his trainer and friend. A person who actually cared for him and gave him what he always wanted: a home to call his own. She even protected my son and I many times in the past such as when we first met and we were attacked by some enemies who were after her and a certain treasure that lives within her and her boyfriend now," Arrietty added as she and her son looked between their kind and Sarah.

"What your fellow Zoroark said is the truth; my daughters and I can vouch for her when we say that she protected us from Pokemon Poachers this past year when they came to Alola to take us back by force," Umbreon agreed as he joined Sho and Arrietty.

"She even risked her life to bring us peace in our old home of Okoya Jungle between the Zarude Tribe and all of us despite our warnings of how dangerous they were to everybody else around them and her friends did the same when a mad man tried to destroy the focal point of our jungle, the Heart Tree, for something he wanted and is willing to kill everybody in his way for. The kid's no joke when she gets serious," Tyson nodded as the rest of the Jungle Guard and the baby/younger Jungle Pokemon concurred.

"And, if you think that's crazy, you should've seen her and the rest of us with her putting an end to a 300-year-long war between dragons and Vikings in another world."

"Even after being captured herself along with Winter when she stood up for a few new friends of hers there," Glaceon and Vaporeon added which further caused confused and startled mutters and grublings with the Hisuian Zoroark and Hisuian Zorua.

"Sounds like everything that made you two the lovebirds you are rubbed off on your daughter including your noble and kind hearts," Levi quipped to Doug and Delilah with an amused snort.

"You know, that's actually a fairly convincing argument, goro," remarked one of the Goron soldiers.

The Alpha Hisuian Zoroark was also stunned until it finally sighed and, after a mental debate with itself, made its decision as it looked at Sarah with a small huff, "...I see. With everything your black snake dragon and the rest of your Pokemon told us, I suppose, we have no other option. Alright, then... Young lady, your family speaks the truth so I think it's only fair we give you all and humanity a second chance."

"That's all I wanted, what we all wanted," Sarah replied, nodding back.

"Okay, now that we're all on the same page here, can someone please tells us how they got here in the first place?" Asha reminded, wanting to know the answer to the million-dollar question on the back of the royal family's minds.

"My guess is Rajhu, when he discovered them 500 years ago, moved them all here after Hisui began to change. But, it looks as though they have everything they needed to survive so it's the same scenario with Levi and his squadron," Sarah answered theoretically.

"All because I've stuck to my principles of every living creature deserving a chance to live and thrive, Princess," Rahju replied.

"Guess your little reading in the library finally bore fruit, then, Island Girl?" Race grinned at Sarah.

"Shut up," the princess blushed, embarrassed.

"Well, that aside, you mind giving these guys the lowdown on your entire family to date after your little escapades began, Sis? You know, your bodyguards, your friends up above, your Pokemon and dragons back home?" Asha quizzed her sister, much to the confusion of the survivors and the Hisuian Pokemon.

"Bodyguards?" puzzled Levi, raising an eyebrow at the little princess who blushed even harder and didn't know what to say.

"You might want to brace yourself for what you'll find on the surface after all these years, old friend," Delilah reassured as she gently hugged her embarrassed daughter.

"We hope you all like long stories and coming to a new world that's completely unlike our own from 500 years ago as well as meeting the rest of our giant family," added Doug with a nod, knowing that they, Sarah, and their entire family have a lot to tell everybody gathered before the royal family.

Sarah could only agree with a chuckle; she could only imagine how Sokka, Ash's Rowlet, Hootie, Goodra, and Braviary would act upon seeing their Hisuian ancestors from an age long past. She can only hope they don't get a case of sensory overload should they finally come face to face with them and she also prayed that her Arcanine, upon seeing his own Hisuian ancestors and their pre-evolved form, can hold himself in as well.

A little later, with Rajhu's permission, the royal family brought their friends (including Ash and Kiawe once they finished their training for the Pokemon League) down to the Depths of Alola and needless to say, they were all shocked by what and who they all saw before them. They were thrown for a loop when they saw Levi and his squadron, both in the case of being alive after so long thanks to the Spirit of Life AND with all of them in their new bodies apart from the ones that have stayed human and Levi with his right Zonai arm.

Rotom-Dex himself nearly blew a circuit upon seeing the Hisuian Pokemon and ancient Mythical Pokemon from 500 years ago.

Sarah even brought out the Pokemon and dragons with them to meet her family's old squadron/royal army and even Levi and his soldiers had to do a double take upon seeing the vast amount of Legendary/Mythical Pokemon in her grasp including Nebby and Nebula who couldn't resist giving a happy greeting to them. But, whether they'll maintain their sanity upon seeing the rest of their charges' family back at Melemele Island remains to be seen.

Once he was face to face with his own Hisuian ancestor after he was let out by Doug, Sokka could only watch in shock and bewildered awe as he looked Hisuian Samurott over and the former did the same until they gave each other small smiles and greeted each other by locking their Razor Shell attacks together in a friendly manner.

Two female Hisuian Goodra took a keen interest in James as they went up to and cuddled him cutely while Sarah just chuckled as she could only imagine how Goodra would feel if he was with them now, prompting an amused Rajhu to explain that compared to their successor Pokemon, Hisuian Goodra lacked a degree of self-confidence i.e. they hated being and fighting alone which was why they always form groups and cling onto each other for safety and company. Of course, James didn't mind at all and accepted their company, wondering what he and his family can do to help them gain the self-confidence they needed.

A female Hisuian Braviary came over to Sarah before coming down next to and sniffing her, recognizing a scent belonging to her Shiny Braviary as she cooed curiously at her with a head tilt before a female Hisuian Arcanine came over and did the same, wondering if she had an Arcanine as well (particularly to see if he's worthy of being her mate).

This prompted Sarah to realize what they are quietly asking her via the look in their eyes as she said, "My Arcanine and Braviary are back home right now but I can bring them over later or next time if you want. They're going to love you girls, I'm sure they will."

The process repeated for a female Alpha Luxray as she came over and sniffed Sarah, recognizing the scent of Totem Luxray on her while a small family of 3 Shinx (2 girls and 1 boy) and four Luxio (2 more girls and 2 more boys) joined her which got the little princess to repeat the same thing she told the Hisuian Arcanine and Braviary. But, this also got her to remember Totem Luxray sticking out in Kion and Kiara's pride given that he was once the leader before Kion fought Scar and booted him out of his and their pack's former home before he could make off with them so she realized that having the Alpha Luxray as his mate could be a bonus for her so as to give him a real family with a female Luxray and some Shinx and Luxio cubs.

Deciding to take them home with her so she can introduce them to Totem Luxray, Arcanine, and Braviary, given that she used all of her Premier, Luxury, and Cherish Balls on the Snolion Pride, Akira, Ivy, and their families, that left her with seven regular Pokeballs, Great Balls, and Dream Balls while she had ten of each of the other Pokeballs on her. So, she decided to use eight of her remaining Love Balls for Totem Luxray's soon-to-be new family whom she christened Rayna (Alpha Luxray), Levana, Gem, and Gemma (Shinx), Charlotte, Piper, Ray, and Henry (Luxio).

There were also some different Pokemon groups led by other Alpha Pokemon similar to the Alpha Hisuian Zoroark and Rayna including Rapidash, Ponyta, Lucario, Riolu, Grottle, Torterra, Turtwig, and some Eeveelution clans led by pairs of the Eevee Squad's Alpha counterparts. Of course, this delighted Eevee as she squealed at the sight of the new giant Eeveelutions and bounded over to them to meet each of them. Her excitement over the Alpha Eeveelutions caused the Eevee Squad to join her and mingle with their counterparts, all of them just as eager to meet their own ancestors even if they were taken aback at seeing Guardeon and his family since they're all new Eeveelutions themselves.

The three Zygarde Cells joined the little princess as she watched her family with her and her friends mingle with Levi, his squadron, and the Hisuian Pokemon while the first cell asked knowingly, "Like what you see before you?"

Sarah nodded as she looked at the cells and told them, "Thanks, I can't tell you how grateful my family and I are for what you did to us in showing this place and leading us to our old royal army. I had no idea Rajhu did all this for us as well until you brought us here."

"It's the least we can do. You've been a great help to all of Alola ever since you discovered your true identity and we've wanted to return the favor," the second cell replied, sounding happy for Sarah.

"So, just how many there are of you Zygarde Cells, exactly? We know you three are here in Alola but what happened to the others that make up who you really are?" quizzed Race as he joined the cells and his girlfriend, eying them carefully.

"95 of us in total and five of what are called Zygarde Cores which make up our brain. They're scattered all across Alola and each core helps us learn new moves in our three forms," the third cell replied.

"95 cells and 5 cores?"

"All over Alola?" Blitz and Curly replied, flabbergasted as their jaws dropped at the three Zygarde Cells.

"We're not masters of being hidden in plain sight for nothing, you know," the first Zygarde Cell chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Robbie asked as he and Bella turned their attention to the cells.

"Just watch," the third Zygarde Cell replied as they all glowed green.

As was the case with Z2 and Squishy years ago during the tail end of Ash's adventures in Kalos with the final battle against Lysandre and whatever his insane plans are, they sent out an energy wave that called for more Zygarde Cells around the area to join them which caught the attention of everyone else as they saw the cells rushing over to the three main cells that brought the royal family to the Depths of Alola.

"Unreal!"

"No..."

"Amazing."

"Fascinating!"

"Look at them all!"

"Intriguing..." Spookeon, Vaporeon, Veneon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Zelda remarked in awe.

But, the wave the three cells released didn't just summon the other cells living in the depths, it allowed them to summon the other 92 cells living all across Alola to join them until they all merged to become the Order Pokemon's 10% Forme (which was the shape of a dog) to everyone's fascination and amazement.

"Zygarde...?"

"Incredible, the Order Pokemon has become a dog..." Sarah and Delilah breathed, speechless as Rotoscope then scanned the final Pokemon of the Aura Trio in its current form.

"Newsflash, boys and girls, we got us an Aura Trio Pokemon in the wing with the mediator of Life and Death: Zygarde, the Order Pokemon. a Dragon and Ground Type, a Legendary Pokemon (10% Forme), its sharp fangs make short work of finishing off its enemies but it is unable to maintain this body indefinitely. After a certain period, it falls apart."

"Surprised? I'm sure I got you, especially given the looks on all your faces," chuckled Zygarde in a feminine voice (suggesting the Zygarde before the heroes is a female despite the gender neutrality), looking around at the entire group gathered and seeing them all slack-jawed.

"Yeah, you did but what happened to your cores if you can't hold your current body?" Sarah questioned.

"As far as I know, two of them can be found along Route 1 and in Iki Town on your home island of Melemele. The third core is to be located in one of the shopping centers or among the streets of Konikoni City on Akala Island, the hometown of one of your Island Kahunas, Olivia. The fourth is most likely somewhere along Route 17 on this very island of Ula'Ula and the fifth and final one is hidden somewhere along the Ancient Poni Path on Poni Island. It's not too hard, though, as our tiny little friend helped us find the cores so you can teach us new moves through them."

"Right. Okay, we'll head to Route 17 to get the core here while Race heads home to find the next two cores at Iki Town and Route 1. After that, next week after school or after that, we'll get the last two before somebody else finds them first. But, let's be honest, are you sure you want to come with me and my family?"

"Why wouldn't I? It's obvious you cared a great deal about nature and you have your new duties at Dragonstone in the Viking realm, we can lend each other a hand. Our little friend I mentioned can assist both us and them keep the balance of nature in check and with all of our cores back, we'll change our body as well into something more appropriate so this one doesn't break apart."

Ash sighed with sentimentality as he recalled his, Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena's old friend, Squishy, as he recalled, "Just like Squishy... But, who's this tiny little friend you mentioned just now?"

"You've met her before!" giggled a voice before a familiar pink bubble appeared along with the cheerful New Species Pokemon playing on it. "Hello, peepies!"

"MEW!?"

Sarah and her friends were shocked as they and the Riders of Berk gawked at Mew given that she parted ways with them following the end of Team Eclipse several months ago after she gave them a hail mary with her spying on the evil syndicate.

Levi and his squadron were further baffled in seeing Mew and realizing that Sarah and her family and friends actually knew the elusive and playful Legendary Pokemon who is known for only appearing to those who have a pure heart.

"The one and only, he-he-he! I was passing by when I came across these nice Zygarde Cells and asked them to keep an eye on you while I was off having fun exploring. But, you guys are much more fun to hang around!" Mew cooed cutely as she floated around Sarah.

"Young Mew... Are you mad, are you absolutely insane?!" Tsukumaro cried, realizing what she's on about.

"YOU WANT SARAH TO CAPTURE YOU?!" shrieked Ash as the others gasped.

"Mew... You really mean that?" asked a speechless Sarah, feeling like she was going to faint.

"Duh! It's simple; with me around to help you and Zygarde keep the peace every day and more, we'll have lots more fun together and those meanie beanies won't stand a chance against us! Non-stop fun, fun, fun for us with nobody to ruin it all! He-he-he!"

"Well, Princess, I guess that answers that. Will that be all for you on that?" Zygarde smiled in amusement.

"A POKEMON TRAINER, SARAH, CAPTURE ZYGARDE AND MEW?! TOTAL POSSIBILITY OF SUCH A THING IS, IN FACT, CALCULATING, CALCULATING, CALCULATING...! spluttered a thunderstruck and shocked Rotom-Dex as he tried and failed to process the realization that Zygarde and Mew both chose Sarah as their partner.

"Never underestimate my girl and her affinity with Pokemon of all kinds, fly guy. What's more, I think her good deeds, from what I've been told by our main woman, have more or less convinced our hosts and guest of honor to join her on her travels from now on," chuckled Rotoscope as he confirmed Zygarde and Mew's wish to go with the little princess.

"Well, I guess it does answer that. After all, a real benefit is that Mew can teach our Pokemon new moves when we get together and train for the Pokemon League. So, if that's what you really want... Welcome to the family," sighed Sarah as she then gave loving smiles towards the two Legendary Pokemon and brought out two Friend Balls before she tossed them and they went inside, the balls clicking shut without shaking as they immediately accepted her as their trainer.

Everyone was amazed by what they saw as Sarah then picked up her Friend Balls and proudly declared, "Alright, I got Zygarde and Mew!"

"Confirmed, Zygarde and Mew have been registered to your Pokedex," beeped Rotoscope, showing images of Mew and Zygarde in his databanks.

Sarah released her new Pokemon and she gently caressed them as she smiled, "You two are going to love being with my family."

The rest of the week passed by in a blaze of excitement and glory as the gang, Sarah, and her family continued to celebrate Nikki, Tsukumaro, and James' birthdays but with the addition of a few hundred or so more party guests in the form of Levi and his squadron as they helped them rehabilitate/reacclimatize to human society on the surface and helped them to understand how the modern era works. It was also something of a culture shock they had to go through as was the case with Sarah's blood family but they did recieve some comfort in knowing that their charges' old castle hasn't changed much despite the new crystal exterior.

And, once the week was over, everybody headed home to Melemele and Akala Islands to resume school later, catch up with their own families, and begin looking for the cores belonging to Zygarde amongst other things. The search didn't take took long as Race did manage to find two of the cores along Route 1 and at Iki Town as Zygarde mentioned, Kiawe and his family contacted Olivia and asked her about the third Zygarde Core in Konikoni City and she and her friends there found what they were looking for before sending it off to Sarah, the group managed to find the fourth on Route 17 before they had to leave for home, and after contacting Nurse Joy and Hapu on Poni Island, they and their Pokemon managed to find and secure the final core along the Ancient Poni Path.

Of course, the biggest shock for them came in the form of all the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon in the little princess' possession including Zeraora, Reshiram, the Lake Guardians, and the Swords of Justice which resulted in excessive praise and embarrassment towards her from the entire royal army (even if they nearly fell over in their shock once it had all sunk into their heads).

The rest of her family that stayed home during the week were impressed and intrigued to meet the royal army with Spice, Ginger, Aster, Azure, and Warner warmly welcoming them along with the babbling Petunia.

Totem Luxray, Arcanine, and Braviary were startled to see that the little princess brought with her their Hisuian ancestors including the Alpha Luxray and her young and they didn't know what to think as they blushed at the sight of the females and one family coming towards them.

The female Hisuian Braviary was now face to face with her Unova descendant for the first time as she curiously fluttered around him, looking over the male Valiant Pokemon with interest. Braviary was honestly surprised but he was also flattered as his blush remained, prompting a sniggering and amused Skitty, Eevee, Salamence, Houndoom, Latios, and Latias to date her and take her as his mate (hoping it'll put ease to the late Erwin's mind in seeing him finally having a mate of his own). Feeling like he had nothing to lose apart and deciding to take a chance, he took a breather and demonstrated his speed and agility to the female Battle Cry Pokemon, impressing her and offically sealing the deal in having her as his mate.

As for the Hisuian Arcanine, she took a fancy to Arcanine because of his appearance as a Shiny and, like all females, she wanted to see how strong he was which he was more than happy to oblige as he demonstrated his Dragon Pulse and Wild Charge attacks (impressing her as she was intrigued to see that with his appearance came the possibility of him knowing different attacks compared to the usual ones associated with his original Pokemon Type).

Now, both Braviary and Arcanine had mates of their own which got a warm and proud smile out of Sarah.

With Rayna, she was just as impressed by Totem Luxray given their similar sizes which left him slightly confused yet flustered as he continued to blush at her. Her young, who were all happily playing with Aster, Warner, Ginger, Spike, and Azure after looking at and introducing themselves to each other, looked on eagerly as they were just as happy to see a male Gleam Eyes Pokemon that matched their mother in size.

Even Kion, Kiara, and their pride couldn't help but feel happy for Totem Luxray as he was no longer the odd one out of them all thanks to Sarah and the arrival of Rayna and her own family. Totem Luxray didn't know what to say as his blush grew when Rayna batted her eyes at him which prompted an equally-amused and cheeky Tifu, Cinder, and Zuri along with their mothers, Simba, and Kovu to go up to and impress her, knowing that he has a chance for a potential mate just as Arcanine and Braviary had.

Gulping while nodding to his pride and steeling himself, Totem Luxray bashfully went over to Rayna as she giggled at him and inspected him all over, his size still impressing her before she gave him an expectant smile, wanting to see how strong he was despite his age. Now eager to please as he started to grow giddy over her fron inside his heart, he demonstrated his Iron Tail and Rising Voltage attacks; that did the trick as her smile brightened and she was convinced, coming over to him for a nuzzle and accepting him as his mate which garnered overjoyed cheers and happy roars from his pride and her family.

Sarah watched on, feeling happy for Totem Luxray in finally having a family of his own in addition to his old pride. But, while she was happy for everybody involved in his whole escapade, she knew that at this point, she and everybody else found only three Zygarde Cores with the other two still somewhere along the Ancient Poni Path and in one of the shops of Olivia's home of Konikoni City on Akala Island.

She didn't know at the time but it was a good thing they did find three of them because they had no idea that the Power Rangers Beast Morphers and Grid Battleforce's impending endgame with Evox along with the final struggle between the Dino Fury team and Void Queen and Void King was about to come to a head.

The appearance of three Zygarde Cells and the Depths of Alola uncovered a huge surprise for Sarah and her family as well as one for Sho and Arrietty thanks to Rajhu. But, with the eventual arrival of the Order Pokemon and Mew and their inclusion into the royal family, things are about to get even more wild and crazy for our heroes as the journey continues!
