Arriving at Indigo Academy to act as guest speakers for its students, Sarah and Race first cross paths with their new friends, Liko and her new partner: Sprigatito. At first, they were on thin ice and off to a rocky start with their bond but thanks to help from her two royal friends, they were slowly becoming partners and good friends. However, when school break came, Amethio appeared, asking them about the pendant from Liko's grandmother and the Terapagos in the royal couple's possession. Meanwhile, during the confrontation, the trio and their Pokémon are rescued by an old friend of Sarah's adoptive/Asha's blood grandfather, Johnathan, and his Charizard: Professor Friede. During his and Charizard's fight with Amethio and his Ceruledge, the group was forced to take a leap of faith from the clock tower roof only for an incoming Psycho Cut to nearly hit them until a green force field suddenly surrounded them. What is going on here?!
(Theme Song - Anywhere My Pokémon Go)
I love watching how my Pokémon grow
I'm sharing everything my Pokémon know
(We open with Sarah and her family with the Viking Teens as they find themselves in Paldea as part of Sarah's vacation plan before the little princess and Race are shown finding Miraidon and Koraidon on the beach before meeting Nemona, Penny, and Arven from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet)
Nighttime, daytime, there are shining more so
I'll go anywhere my Pokémon go
(We see Sarah and Hootie joining forces with Liko and her partner, Sprigatito, as they all perform Leafage before we meet a boy named Roy and his Pokémon, Fuecoco, battling Sarah as she summoned her Primarina, Aqua, and they begin to have a battle. Then, we cut to one of the villains belonging to a new team of foes named Amethio using a Ceruledge to square off against Sarah as she fights with Kaji and Keldeo before a new Pokémon Professor, Friede, and his crew: the Rising Volt Tacklers are shown with their Pokémon)
Anything you wanna see, (Ooh!) anything you wanna do
Promise you can be with me, be with me, (Yeah!) I can be with you
(We soon find our heroes joined by Edgar, Henna, Stoick, Gobber, their Pokémon and dragons, Nemona, Penny, and Arven as they find themselves in Area Zero where Sarah's Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, Link and Zelda, are facing an army of Paradox Pokémon in front of them. Then, Sarah and Race's necklaces glow with the former accessing the power of Terastallization for her Pokemon as she Terastallizes and Mega Evolves them before the royal couple, the Viking Teens, Miraidon, Koraidon, Liko, Roy, Nemona, Arven, and Penny are shown together as they stare out into the heavens)
I wanna go around and around and around the world with you
I'll go anywhere my Pokémon go
Trials of Sarah: Pokémon Horizons
(End Theme Song)
"Use Psycho Cut!" Amethio barked, his Fire Blades Pokémon firing its Psycho Cut attack just as the group jumped with determined cries.
But, as Charizard jumped in and cut the Psychic attack in half, one-half of it that wasn't destroyed whizzed past him and Friede before it made its way toward Liko, Sarah, Race, and their Pokémon, leaving them defenseless until Liko's pendant shone brightly and the group was suddenly encased in a giant forcefield protecting all of them.
What also threw everybody for a loop was the fact that two two Pokémon whom Race and Sarah had - their baby turtle Pokémon (Terapagos) gently appeared from her secondary satchel glowing as well before the royal couple and Liko noticed that the forcefield they and their Pokémon were saved by was in three layers.
A Luxury Ball Sarah had on her floated out of her satchel on her back and appeared before them and her and Race's necklaces glowed brighter along with Liko's before they saw four Pokémon in front of them (with the Luxury Ball opening to reveal the third Pokémon that Amethio wanted from them).
Sarah and Race could hardly believe their eyes as their Terapagos appeared before them (the third having been discovered in Paldea's Area Zero after the pair were first introduced to the region by Sarah's Paldea team in their ongoing quest to find out more about Link, Zelda, and the Terapagos in her and Race's possession, slumbering in its depths for the last two million years). But, they were even more shocked along with Liko and their Pokémon to find a fourth Terapagos appearing from the new student's pendant.
The three Terapagos that belonged to Race and Sarah cooed at their human parents before they returned to their dormant forms but the fourth that belonged to Liko via her pendant looked at the three humans before it pulled itself back into its shell and materialized back into the pendant (removing the forcefield that had shielded them at the same time).
This was an unfortunate wrong move by the youngest of the Terapagos as the group started to fall (with Liko (who managed to catch her pendant) and Sprigatito screaming in panic as they did so) until Friede along with Nebby and Nebula (who popped out of their Master Balls in the nick of time) to rescue the pair and their family with Nebby and Nebula catching Sarah, Race, Blitz, Curly, Silvally, Tou-Tou, Robbie, and Bella while Charizard caught Liko and Sprigatito.
Seeing this and the group leaving from their hiding spots, Sarah and Race's dragons came up beside them (with Elder and Alder having the rest of their family on their backs given their shared size) along with their Flying Types.
"Heh, well now... You three are a bit reckless, huh?" Friede smirked at them.
Liko winced in embarrassment as she thought, "Yeah, try telling that to Sprigatito ever since I followed her on my first day to the rooftops."
"But, hey, that was quite brave. I also expected as much coming from two of you, really more so with the adoptive granddaughter of my old friend from what I heard with you and your adventures."
"Honestly, this feels so weird. And, with everything that's happened, maybe I'm just a weirdo now, too. But, for some reason, it feels like, this is the start of something big," Liko thought, her heart racing as she held her pendant and she and Spirigatito looked at each other in awe as if they felt something starting to grow within them.
"We must retreat before our confirmed enemies come at them again!" Virizion suggested, hearing the clock tower ring as it was now 7:00 in the morning.
"My good man, do you know a place where we can take the princess, her husband, and Liko to keep them safe from those fools?" Xena questioned Friede.
"Follow me, my airship and crew are waiting for us further ahead!" Friede nodded before he turned to Amethio and his team, still smirking as he put on his goggles. "Sorry, pal. We'll battle again some other time. Charizard, everyone?"
The entire group nodded in response to Friede's question as he and Charizard (with Liko and Sprigatito still safely in his arms as they gave off surprised yelps from the fast flight they were having) led the entire group away from Indigo Academy and into the night sky.
"Just hold on tight!" Friede warned Sprigatito and Liko, the student trainer continuing to think about everything that went down, realizing that she and her partner's journey had truly begun as they, their friends, and their saviors flew into the night.
Down below, Amethio returned Ceruledge to its Pokeball as he tried to make out the glow, knowing that he had found his and his team's targets, "Hmm... Those glowing lights from earlier... They were the pendant and the Pokémon we were looking for. I wonder, how..? How were the princess and her husband able to get their hands on those three?"
"Amethio, Sir. Given the situation and our targets are already on the move, what should we do?" asked Onia as she and Zinc joined their leader.
"Let's go," he told them, Onia and Zinc nodding in agreement as they all knew what they should do.
Revealing their own wrist coms from their left wrists, they used them to change into their usual uniforms which consist of black pants with a purple stripe on the right side, dark purple sweatshirts with a purple stripe on the left side, black gloves, and dark purple shoes before they each took out a Pokeball. It was obvious that they were still going to go after Liko and the royal couple now that they found what they were looking for and they were intent on completing their mission no matter who got in their way.
"Go, Skarmory!"
"Go, Corviknight!"
Summoning their Armor Bird and Raven Pokémon and climbing aboard them, Amethio and his posse proceeded to fly after Friede and his targets, hoping to finish what they started.
Meanwhile, Friede continued to lead his massive party to wherever he and Charizard came from as they flew across the ocean. Now, away from danger (despite not knowing about Amethio, Oria, and Zinc trailing their family and friends), Sarah and Race's Terapagos returned to their original forms as they felt they were safe but they were worried for their lives as they cooed worriedly and nuzzled their human parents.
"Easy, you guys. There's no way that creep and his goonies are gonna catch you," Race reassured.
"What they want with you, we'll never know. But, if they think they can steal you from under our noses, they got another thing coming," Sarah added as she looked at her Miraculous and took out her Panthera Morpher.
While she was saddened and disappointed that she couldn't morph into her old alter-ego as the Solgaleo Ranger for some time now that her Wrist Com was destroyed (and it would require the team at the Aether Foundation a lot of time to create a new one), she was thankful that she still had other powers on her that would allow her to continue protecting the ones she loved. It may take time but she knows that she's not out of the fight yet if Lord Zedd manages to resurface within the next six months as Reader warned her prior.
"Man, this is nuts! One minute, I was jumping from the school roof with my friends to escape from harm, and the next, I was in the night sky with them and Sprigatito. I was able to take that step because I had her with me. But, who is this guy and what does he want with us? Also, what's the deal with Race and Sarah's Silvally, how come I haven't heard of them if they're really Pokémon?" Liko thought as she looked between Silvally, Tou-Tou, and Friede while thinking about how she was able to get to this point in her journey's beginnings.
"Hey, um... Y-You can drop me off now, please!" she called to Friede.
"Huh? Sorry, can't hear you!"
"I don't think it'd be wise for him to drop you off in the middle of the ocean, Liko!"
"You wouldn't want to make a splashdown at terminal velocity and give that creep and his pals a sign of where we are, do ya?" Sarah and Race warned, causing her to yelp frantically, trying to make an excuse.
"Ah! W-w-w-Wait! That's not what I meant! I was just-!"
Suddenly, she saw Race and Sarah gasp as they looked ahead, making her turn to whatever it was they saw. And there, right in front of them, was a large airship which was the same airship the royal couple and Ann had once seen the day before the school break commenced.
"W-What is that?" she balked in shock.
"Whoa!"
"L-L-L-Look at it!"
"It's huge!"
"Dudes, what a flying pad!"
"Sweet!"
"Bro, are you seeing this?!"
"I see it but I don't believe it, it's a giant airship!" Altaria, Uxie, Vaporeon, Goodra, Frosmoth, Dusk, and Luna gasped in shocked awe.
"Oh, that? That's our airship. Welcome to the Brave Olivine," Friede explained as his Rotom Phone popped up and he made a call to Orla, Mollie, Ludlow, and Murdock. "Reset the Wing Deck, we're coming in!"
The Wing Deck on the Brave Olivine (that looked like another pair of wings on the ship) slowly lowered and came together but what shocked the heroes and Liko was the fact that it was actually a battlefield.
"Amazing! Truly amazing!"
"Well, I'll be a couple of high-flying pygmy Pawnis! One of that human bird's wing sets transformed!"
"Astounding, this human aircraft's deck doubles as a Pokémon battlefield!" Suicune, Raikou, and Entei blinked in astonishment.
"That's a textbook definition of 'Devilishly practical'!"
"And, creative from a human builder's standpoint!" Reignstorm and Camo remarked as Friede, Charizard, and the royal couple's Flying Types with the smaller Pokémon landed and jumped aboard the airship.
With Sarah and Race, Nebby and Nebula got close to the ship and they joined their party by jumping off them and onto the Wing Deck. With their human mother and Race aboard, Nebby and Nebula rejoined the dragons and the larger Pokémon as they continued to soar through the air.
"Thanks, Charizard."
"Yeah, thanks," Liko and Sprigatito thanked, relieved to be back on solid ground and away from danger.
"You're welcome," Charizard smiled kindly just as Mollie and Murdock joined by a Rockruff belonging to the latter came over to them.
"You made it!"
"We were starting to get worried for you!" they quipped in relief as Murdock's Rockruff saw Sprigatito, Wooloo, Ponyta, Yamper, Eevee, Skitty, and Frosmoth before he began playing with them.
"So, you're Liko, huh? And, you're the famous Sarah Tomoe and Race Konami we've been hearing about at Indigo Academy," Mollie went on, looking at the trio before them.
"Uh, yeah. But, how did you all know who I am or who Race and Sarah are? Who are you people?" Liko asked nervously.
Murdock and Mollie blinked in surprise but the latter groaned as she held the bridge of her nose in exasperation while saying to Friede, "Unbelievable. Have you not told these kids anything while you were on your way back?"
Friede blinked as he questioned Liko, Race, and Sarah, "Oh, um... Did I forget?"
They nodded as Murdock also grumbled in exasperation, "Wait, what did you do to get them here?"
"Friede!"
"So, his name is Friede," Liko thought as she watched him trying to explain himself to Murdock and Mollie as they looked irate at him.
"Now, now, Murdock, Mollie, let's not be too hasty here. I'm sure Friede didn't mean to overlook that."
"Given what our baby's little sister had been up to previously from what our children had been telling us, it's clear he didn't have the time and he was in a hurry if they ran into any danger," two voices rang out, catching Sarah's attention as she looked past Mollie and Murdock and gasped, seeing Asha's grandparents/her adoptive grandparents/Nikki and James' parents, Johnathan and Diane, emerging from inside the ship with Romeo and Juliet beside them.
"Dah! D-uh, uh...… Grandma, Grandpa?!" she spluttered, speechless as her jaw dropped.
"What?" blinked Liko as she saw Johnathan and Diane and looked between them and Sarah in surprise.
"Hey, short girl, what's shakin' on your end?" Johnathan chuckled as Sarah came over to him and his wife and hugged them. "He-he-he! You look like you've grown two inches since we last saw ya!"
"What are you two doing here?"
"Why wouldn't we be here, cutie? Can't an old lady and old man such as us take time off of what we're doing back home to see how you've been behaving to our children and your parents while our daughter is off on her Island Challenge, hmm?" Diane cooed as she pinched Sarah's cheeks cutely.
"Grandma! I'm not a baby anymore!" Sarah whined in annoyance while the three Terapagos belonging to her and Race came over and cooed at her happily.
"I'm sorry if we hadn't called you earlier but given that our friends had important business with you according to your new friend's father, we couldn't tell you yet," Johnathan replied before he gestured to Friede. "Professor Friede is an old friend of mine from Paldea; he and his friends were in town at Vermillion City to stock up on supplies and he paid a visit to us. Asked us if we wanted some excitement for a change so we agreed."
"With Team Rocket gone forever, we couldn't resist. And, speaking of your new friend, I see you've been getting along with her quite well," Diane added.
At that moment, the group was joined by a Fuecoco and a Pawmi (the Fire Croc and Paldea Mouse Pokémon) as they noticed Yamper, Wooloo, Ponyta, and Snowflake aboard the ship and they quickly joined in to play with them. The four little Pokémon didn't mind the two coming over and were delighted with the prospect of having more new friends to play with which got an amused smile out of the little princess.
Liko also smiled as she knelt on the battlefield and looked at them while thinking to herself, "Wow, this is amazing. Seeing Pokémon like this just makes my heart race with excitement..."
But, seeing Pawmi and Fuecoco also got her curious as she asked Friede and his crew, "What are Pokémon from Paldea doing here?"
"Oh, what? Those two, you mean? Fuecoco and Pawmi came aboard at some point during our travels before we paid a visit to the princess' grandparents. And, they're not the only ones aboard this cruiser, check it," Murdock answered as he showed her a Snorunt, a Noctowl (similar to Sarah's), and a Shuckle.
Liko was amazed until Mollie cleared her throat and introduced herself with a soft smile, "Sorry for not introducing myself to you all yet, the name's Mollie."
"And, you can call me Murdock. That Pokémon over there with your Sprigatito and their playmates is my partner: Rockruff," Murdock added, pointing at himself and Rockruff.
The Alola Puppy Pokémon, in question, was continuing to play with Sprigatito as she was emitting her collar's sweet scent before Fuecoco and Pawmi joined in along with Wooloo, Ponyta, Yamper, Eevee, Skitty, and Frosmoth as they all horseplayed together.
Liko was starting to warm up to Friede and his crew as well as Diane and Johnathan as she thought, "These people seem nice like Sarah and Race and the other two being her grandparents... But, I-I still have to learn more!"
"Um, excuse me," she began before Friede's Rotom Phone rang.
"Hold that thought, kid, it looks like we got incoming guests heading our way... I think it's them," Friede replied, seeing who was coming from his Rotom Phone.
"'Them'? Them who?" Mollie questioned.
"Heading to the bridge. It's time to go, Noctowl, they're not giving up. Take point on airspace security."
"Yes, Sir," Noctowl nodded with a salute as it flew up to the top of the ship to keep watch much to Murdock and Mollie's confusion.
"Friede, who is this 'them' you're talking about? What happened at the school earlier?" Murdock asked as Friede made his way inside the ship and into its cockpit.
"We can talk about that later, I need you to be on the lookout for our uninvited crew that's about to pay a visit. Mollie, take care of the Pokémon and the others."
"You can count on us."
"Um, Orla's freaking out a bit in the boiler room. She says there's some kind of big storm moving in on us."
"We'll deal with it. Charizard, let's get to it, come on," Friede replied before he and his Flame Pokémon went inside to prepare for the rough ride.
"Rockruff, return," Murdock finished, returning his partner to his Pokeball while Liko stared at them, unable to get her questions in despite wanting to know more about her, Race, and Sarah's saviors.
"Honey, what's going on? Who's this 'them' Friede was talking about?"
"And, why does he want us to get away from them? What did they want that would cause them to go after us?" Diane and Johnathan asked their adoptive granddaughter.
"There are a few creeps after Liko, Race, and I who want her pendant and our Terapagos. We don't know why they're after us just for them but whatever it is they have in mind for them, it won't be good," Sarah replied as the three Terapagos cooed fearfully, forcing her and Race to rub them gently to soothe them.
With no other choice, she pulled out her new Pup Pad to alert a familiar robotic pup, "MK-1, time for the Dragon Craft!"
MK-1 barked twice in confirmation to his owner before he rolled off to get the Dragon Craft for his family. At the same time, Shadow and the dragons could see the storm approaching them and their group up ahead; this got Voltage, his mother, Aegis, and the Night Lights excited since their species mainly gravitate toward storms (which can sometimes cause the dragons to look at them weirdly, not understanding their obsession with them).
"Orla, we need full power, on the double," Friede called Orla as he made his way to the bridge where his main partner, Captain Pikachu, was waiting.
"I'm working on it!" the mechanic grunted from the ship's engine room as she was shoveling coal into the burner to fuel the airship with help from her Pokémon including a Slugma and a Charcoal, the latter running on a makeshift wheel to keep its engines running.
"I'm sending backup if you don't mind a hand. Charizard, do your thing."
His Flame Pokémon gave a thumbs-up and a knowing smirk as he nodded and made his way to the engine room to assist Orla and her Pokémon.
"Cap, I'll be there soon," Friede called to his friend.
True to form, as Orla, Slugma, and Charcoal were continuing to push themselves to get the airship going at full speed on their part, Charizard arrived when he peeked through the window, bringing relief to the mechanic as she smiled, "Oh, great, you're here!"
With Amethio, Onia, and Zirc, they and their Skarmory and Corviknight continued to fly across the sky in hot pursuit of the heroes until they finally saw the airship with Zirc saying, "Is that it?"
"Storm ahead, this won't be easy. What are your orders?" Onia asked her and Zirc's superior, seeing the storm ahead of them and the airship.
Amethio remained calm as he knew they would need to be tactical in their approach, ordering his colleagues, "We've almost caught up. However, the princess will have something up her sleeve to help the ones inside that airship give us the slip. We must stop them here!"
"Sir!"
Inside the Brave Olivine's observation deck, Liko, Race, Sarah, Mollie, and the rest of their party were taking shelter from the storm but their and others' troubles were just beginning as the lights went out which meant one thing to Mollie as she sighed in annoyance, "Come on. This is really not the time and of all places for it to happen, too..."
Mollie was right; the power for the Brave Olivine went out when they least expected it and they were heading for the storm without one of their only means of escaping from Amethio, Onia, and Zirc.
Liko plucked up courage and tried to speak up again as she told her, "Um, excuse me. Sorry, but earlier, Sarah, Race, and I were at school and some guy showed up while we were heading for their guest room. I didn't know him-oh! Um, actually, we didn't know him... But, he was really suspicious when he told us my grandmother and Sarah's grandparents sent for him and he started asking about my pendant and her and Race's strange Pokémon with them."
As soon as she finished (surprising Johnathan and Diane as they didn't know anything about Amethio and they knew Donna (former queen) and David would've called their granddaughter first if they knew and sent for him, too), the Noctowl belonging to the crew and Friede hooted a warning as if he saw something dangerous approaching them.
"They caught up fast," Mollie quipped as she brought out a telescope and looked through it when she, Johnathan, Diane, Liko, Race, and Sarah looked through the window they were next to, seeing Amethio and his colleagues tailing them as she gasped in shock, "It's them, the Explorers!"
"Hold up, you didn't just say 'the Explorers'?!" Murdock gawked from his place on the stairs next to an Alolan Muk (that was one of his or the others' own Pokémon and shared the duo's shock).
Over on the Brave Olivine's bridge, Friede came up next to a captain's chair on his right and he told the pilot, "Sorry to keep you waiting, Cap. Should I drive?"
The "Cap" Friede was talking to was indeed what and who we were all thinking, a male Pikachu wearing a sea captain's hat who turned to him and gave him a thumbs-up and a smirk named Captain Pikachu, or "Cap" for short, as he told his human friend in a slightly deep, gruff, and stand-offish yet cool-dude tone (Japanese Dub), "Take over, Pal."
With Cap's permission given, Friede took the wheel as he turned to a male Nosepass that belonged to him and his friends as well (who also acted as the ship's compass thanks to his incredible sense of direction through his magnesium and his magnetic nose), "Nosepass, which way is 'North'?"
Spinning himself around, the Compass Pokémon pointed directly in front of him, showing Friede the direction he needed to go which he appreciated as he replied, "Thanks, buddy."
Seeing the Explorers still hot on their tails, Mollie sighed over what Friede was doing with Cap and Nosepass on the bridge before she brought out her Rotom Phone and contacted Orla, "Come on, Friede, what are you doing up there? Orla, can you give us a little more speed? Our targets are trailing behind us and are not letting up."
"Um, I'm doing all I can here at the moment!" Orla replied as she, Slugma, Charkol, and Charizard worked as hard as they could given everyone's current predicament.
Hearing her Pup Pad ringing as MK-1 contacted her, Sarah brought it out and noticed the Dragon Craft nearing the Brave Olivine as the airborne robotic puppy drove his way toward the heroes. This got a smile out of her as she told him, "Good job, MK-1, now drive the Dragon Craft in front of the Brave Olivine and attach the wrench to the top!"
MK-1 barked twice in confirmation as he pulled forward and readied himself before Sarah turned to a surprised Mollie and told her, "You and your friends might want to hang on, Mollie. I've got a friend here who's going to give Orla a helping hand with speed."
"What are you trying to do?" she puzzled, not knowing what was going on.
"Trust me."
When Friede and Cap saw the Dragon Craft (which was actually the Matori Matrix's old aircraft that had been turned over to Sarah and upcycled by her and Aurora following Team Rocket's demise) pulling forward and being positioned in front of the Brave Olivine from the bridge, they were surprised yet curious as Friede pondered, "Huh, what is that?"
"No need for you and Cap to be alarmed, Friede. What you're seeing is one of our babies' machines brought here to help," Johnathan told him through Rotoscope as MK-1 launched the Dragon Craft's wrench and hooked it to the airship.
"Nice work, boy! Now, let's see what this baby of ours can do, give us a little power! Full steam ahead!"
Heeding his owner's words, MK-1 barked once more and increased the power of the Dragon Craft's engines, giving the more speed which gave Cap and Friede knowing and thankful smirks as they and everyone else made their way to the storm, "Right. Now, let's head straight for that thunderhead before us."
"Let's rock!"
Murdock was startled by this as he realized what Friede was trying to do thanks to Sarah and MK-1, gawking at the Pokémon Professor through his Rotom Phone, "Wait, you're gonna take us right into the storm with help from one of the princess's puppy pals?!"
"Well, it might be the only way to get those guys off our tails if the speed we're going on thanks to that plucky robot of hers and their craft pulling us. Besides, Murdock, this is perfect weather for today."
"Guess we're doing this... Well, no turning back now," Mollie sighed, seeing how Friede was now dead set on the idea of using their current speed and the storm to give Amethio and his colleagues a whole heap of trouble.
"Arm to starboard!" Friede declared, smirking as he and MK-1 made their way to the storm.
"Sweetie, you mentioned that the strange man and the other two with him chasing you, Race, and your new friend, Liko, are after her pendant and your Terapagos. Why is that?" Diane puzzled Sarah.
"I don't know... All he told us was that he wanted us to bring them for an important cause. If he says 'important', I'm guessing that's an acronym for 'bad break' that could doom us all," Sarah frowned as she took her Terapagos in her hands and rubbed its head to soothe it.
Liko was surprised and she grew curious as she watched Sarah place her Terapagos down and went outside to the Wing Deck to address her family and thought, "Terapagos...? What is that, where did they learn about it? Are they what the strange Pokémon that guy mentioned were? What could they know about them?"
"Guys, we're coming into the storm; Friede and MK-1 are gonna use it to help us shake off those three stooges tailing us. Silvally, Blitz, Curly, you guys, Bella, Robbie, and Tou-Tou are with me and Race inside the Brave Olivine. Peacock, you're coming with us. Aegis, Voltage, Aratiri, Gale, Haze, you border us and absorb the lightning from the storm clouds. The rest of you, get into the Dragon Craft and stay there until we pass the storm."
"Got it/Roger/Yes!"
Her dragons specializing in electricity grinned excitedly before they took their positions on both sides of the Brave Olivine and the Dragon Craft with their task at hand while the rest of Sarah's family and Race's team made their way to the Dragon Craft. Robbie, Bella, Peacock, Blitz, Curly, Silvally, and Tou-Tou, on the other hand, stayed with Sarah as they returned to Liko, Mollie, Race, and the Three Royal Terapagos.
The female Featherhide approached her rider as the other Pokémon including Noctowl were brought inside to get them away from the storm, allowing Race to tell her, "Peacock, stay with the Terapagos and hide them discreetly so those freaks don't pick them out, okay?"
Peacock nodded as he and Sarah placed the Terapagos close to her but they cooed worriedly at them, prompting them to soothe them again as they said, "You'll be alright, guys. We promise..."
"This is the way it's gotta be until we're home free."
Not wanting to object to their human parents' reasoning and knowing that their lives were in danger, they cooed sadly and nodded in agreement, allowing Peacock to wrap one of her wings (preferably, her right wing) around them before she shielded them and herself with her scales as she activated her camouflage ability.
Liko was stunned as she saw them disappear and blend in with the rest of the ship and her jaw dropped, amazed by Peacock's camouflage ability with Sprigatito also giving off a stunned "Meow!".
With Quaxly, Paldea's Water Type Starter and Water Duck Pokémon (a male in this case), he stumbled down a corridor as the Brave Olivine was driven towards the storm but he quickly jumped into a room to his right that had a doggie door on it.
Mollie smirked as everybody on the heroes' side entered the storm and Amethio and his colleagues flew lower, supposedly being stirred by the storm. But, what she and the heroes didn't know was that Amethio was cunning. At this moment, he, Onia, and Zirc were still tailing and he was about to come up with a plan that would turn the tables in the Explorers' favor.
"Wait, are they crazy? They're flying right into the storm with that second craft pulling it along!" Onia gawked in disbelief.
"That sounds way too risky, we can't tell what they're thinking right now if they're flying with two airships. What should we do now, Sir?" Zirc asked Amethio, waiting for his plan of attack.
Amethio snorted as he replied, "They must be smarter and more resourceful than we first thought but we can't afford to lose sight of the pendant, the Pokémon, or both. They're too important for our mission and we need to retrieve them, immediately. We'll use the airship to shield us from the wind. Follow me!"
"Yes, Sir!"
Using the Brave Olivine and its shape to their advantage, Amethio guided his Corviknight towards their targets with Onia and Zirc following behind him on their Skarmory, all of them determined to not let the storm beat them.
"Oh, Gramps. Could you watch 'You-Know-Who'? I got my hands full in here," Murdock asked Ludlow as the old fisherman opened the door to the kitchen and came across the burly man.
"No trouble at all, Young Murdock," Ludlow answered, nodding before heading for the room Quaxly went in.
As the Explorers made their way towards their targets in the airship, Voltage, Aratiri, Aegis, Haze, and Gale were soon joined by the Night Lights as they were currently absorbing the lightning from the storm. They were as happy as they could be to take in the lightning as each of their species was able to absorb it into their bodies and their dark colorations made it difficult for Amethio and his colleagues to see them through the storm as they reached the airship's barrier.
The wild Noctowl did its best to comfort the smaller Pokémon who were feeling a little uneasy at the moment but the heroes' worries grew as Liko, Johnathan, Diane, Sarah, and Race saw the Explorers trying to break through the Wing Deck's barrier. Romeo and Juliet tensed as they felt their masters' worry and they readied themselves for battle with Silvally, Blitz, Bella, Curly, Robbie, and Tou-Tou snarling at the villains trying to ambush them.
"Excuse me, they're here!" Liko panicked, getting Mollie's attention as she was forced to make an emergency call to Friede.
"The Explorers are here, Friede. They're trying to board the ship!"
"Seriously? I never thought they'd be that crafty to avoid the storm on their end," Friede sighed through his and Mollie's Rotom Phones, causing Liko to listen and watch them speak with a feeling of dread in her stomach. "Well, we got no choice. How about you fold the Wing Deck before they hit and run?"
"The power went out just as we entered the storm. Well, no choice then. Better hang tight if you want to live."
"Where are you going?"
"Got to do it manually before they bust through the shields," Mollie replied as she went to retract the Wing Deck by hand with the power out.
Realizing that they were running out of time, Friede called Murdock over to the bridge and asked him to help Cap pilot the Brave Olivine while he went to the engine room to get Charizard from Orla. At the same time, Mollie arrived at the controls that allowed her and her friends to operate the Wing Deck manually and she tried to push the lever down to retract it. But, she realized that she wasn't strong enough no matter how hard she tried and her frustrations only grew as she saw Amethio's Raven and Onia and Zirc's Armor Bird Pokémon continuing to peck at the shields.
"Come on," she gritted before the Explorers and their evil Pokémon finally broke through the shields and landed on the Wing Deck to complete their mission.
At the same time, a lightning bolt managed to hit one of the metal rods, and as a result, the Brave Olivine's flag was ripped off of the pole and it flew off, being carried away by the wind. However, given the danger at hand, the dragons couldn't go after it.
Seeing their arrival, Liko was now in a panic as her thoughts raced at 100 mph, her anxieties over the Explorers' needing her pendant and Race and Sarah's Terapagos growing while she thought, "Wait! They're after the pendant and those Terapagos, they want to steal them from Race and Sarah, too! Oh, man! That means they're after all three of us! And, we got Friede, the others with him, and Sarah's grandparents involved in this mess! Are we... Are we the main characters of this story?!"
Her worries weren't helped when she noticed how scared the little Pokémon were, "Man, I don't know what's going on. What I do know is all of these Pokémon are in danger because of us; me with the pendant my grandmother gave me and Race and Sarah with their Terapagos...!"
What made it worse was that Amethio, Zirc, and Onia finally arrived causing Sprigatito to hiss at them and Blitz, Curly, Bella, Robbie, Silvally, and T-Tou to snarl at them.
"You!" Race barked as he and Sarah got into battle stances.
"Why did you all run away?" Amethio asked, his cold glare trained at Liko, Sarah, and Race as their Pokémon all continued to hiss and snarl threateningly at the evil trio.
"What's it to you?" Race barked back, glaring back at Amethio as he and his wife prepared to fight.
"You think you can trust the people on this airship? Especially you, Liko, would you really trust them and your new friends should they fight us?"
"Shut up! You've no right to tell us who to trust and who not to trust, you made it very clear when you and your cohorts decided to kill us to get what you're looking for back at Indigo Academy!" Sarah snapped furiously before she looked at Liko and gently pleaded, "Liko, don't listen to him. He's just trying to get inside your head, he's proven himself to be a threat and so have his goonies with him. They can't be trusted if they're willing to take your pendant and my and Race's Pokémon by force."
Liko was silent and she didn't know what to think as her mind continued to race until she said, "...I don't know, but... I trust Sarah and Race enough after what we went through since they came to Indigo Academy."
Amethio was unfazed as he tried to press them, "Those lights, from your pendant and those Pokémon. What were they?"
Race snorted as he retorted, "That's for us to know and you to never find out. How did you know about the Pokémon that saved us, anyway?"
"We and our superior got our hands on reports that showed you and your wife, Mr. Konami, coming to possess two strange necklaces that were actually your Pokémon in disguise. One of them was in Sarah's hands when it appeared during the tail end of her exhibition battle with the legendary Masked Royal and Tapu Koko and gave her and her Pikachu the power to beat them and become Alola Champion. The other was in your hands that somehow appeared without warning after your adventure in a magical book of sorts. And, then, there was the third one in the infamous Area Zero near Uva Academy..."
Liko was even more stunned as she looked at Race and Sarah and directed her attention to the spot where she thought their Terapagos and Peacock were hiding, "I didn't know that, either..."
"When we heard you went on an expedition with a small team from Blueberry Academy and its teacher, the researcher and descendant of the legendary Heath who was the leader of the Area Zero Expedition survey team: Blair, while you were given a tour of the region and its schools, this got us intrigued. There was not much we could decode as of now but what it did show was you somehow came to own a third Pokémon looking exactly like the ones you have on you. And, it was right after you went into the heart of Area Zero."
Sarah and Race gasped in shock as the princess became goggle-eyed and cried out, "How did you know about that?!"
"I'll betcha one of them planted a spy after they heard about us to shadow us and Blair's team throughout that whole misadventure. We and our friends that joined us agreed to keep it a secret but somebody leaked that encounter out to whoever's got these three under their wing. I'm assuming one of you or whoever's among your Explorer creeps was the mole after us, right?" Race snorted in disgust, narrowing his eyes dangerously at Amethio as he and Sarah now knew why he, Onia, and Zirc were after them as well as Liko.
The former Battle Frontier Champion turned to Liko as he added, "Liko, are you sure you want to believe this creep? You now know why he and his boneheads are after us as well as you, I know this is a lot to take in and you don't understand yet but that should be proof enough. Friede, his friends, and Island Girl's gramps and granny were also kind enough to help us after finding out about our plight and you saw how much trouble they're getting themselves into right now to protect us. Purple Eyes here can't take the hint to take a hike and never come back now that he knows too much about my and Island Girl's Pokémon. You know we're right..."
Liko was still trying to wrap her head around everything she had heard and what she had told but eventually, she plucked up courage and said to Amethio and his cohorts, "I don't know what's going on... But, I do know one thing; I sure can't trust you, not in the slightest."
Sprigatito supposedly shared her sentiments as she lunged at Amethio to claw him but before she could land a hit on him, Onia got in her way and grabbed her, causing her to struggle and squirm in her tight grasp.
"Sprigatito!" Liko cried in horror as Sarah and Race along with the other Pokémon gasped in shocked disgust.
"Cheater!"
"Do you have any shame!?" Bella and Blitz shouted, outraged by the Explorers' lack of honor and dignity in everyone's current situation.
"Well, now... What a naughty little Pokemon you a-AHHH!" Onia sneered with a smirk before Silvally swatted her right hand hard with his head scales and forced her to drop Sprigatito before he caught her in his front right claw.
The Grass Cat Pokémon, surprised but relieved to be out of danger thanks to one of her new friends, was soon placed back on the ground and she scampered back into Liko's arms with the Synthetic Pokémon standing in front of the two to shield them with his body.
Amethio was surprised but he looked at Silvally with intrigue and he turned his attention to Tou-Tou, giving them a small calculating smile before he maintained his cold glare and said to Silvally, "Interesting, I've never seen Pokémon like you before along with that one in a funny color scheme. However, you surprised me when you saved Liko's Sprigatito and when I finally got a good look at you two right after; you both must be one of a kind. At first, I thought our target was just the strange Pokémon coming from your owners as well as Liko's pendant but you're a mystery in and of yourselves. You must have a connection with them."
He returned his gaze to Sarah, Race, and Liko, "All the more reason why you three will be coming with us."
"Nobody touches my mother! ...But, me and her family," Silvally snarled threateningly, only being soothed by Sarah as she rubbed his head scales.
"Sorry, no can do. Silvally, Tou-Tou, and three of my and Race's Pokémon, my children, are private property and you made a big mistake challenging us when your pal here grabbed Sprigatito. Four of our Pokémon cleaned your man's Rhydon's clock when he tried to stop us after we left Liko's room and it only took one hit and a fakeout by Sprigatito to take him out of the running. Was that really all you got?" Sarah retorted defiantly, irking Zirc as he quietly growled at her out of indignity and for the blow to his pride.
Liko was astounded when she heard this as she stared at Sarah in wonder and thought, "…..C-Children? Did, did Sarah really see her Pokémon...as, children?"
"What'd you say?" Zirc snarled.
"Come on, my husband and I, my family, and our friends fought enemies stronger, faster, and harder than you. Plus, I didn't see your catnapper bring out her Pokémon and fight us earlier. Were any of you trying to come at us through a game of Chicken while you were hunting us down? If so, you gotta find a new hobby."
"I dare you to say that again!" grumbled an infuriated Onia as she and Zinc were less than amused by the taunt while Amethio remained unfazed and unimpressed by Sarah's resistance.
"Hmph, well then... If that's how you want it, Princess, let's settle this outside. Your strange Pokémon with you against my flagship partner; you and your friends' freedom or your cooperation and your Pokémon and Liko's pendant," Amethio scoffed.
"Bring it on," Sarah replied, sharing his glare while Silvally growled and became eager to pound him.
With that, Sarah and her Synthetic Pokémon joined Amethio, Zirc, and Onia on the Wing Deck for their battle while Liko, Sprigatito, Race, and the rest of the Pokémon watched on just as Johnathan and Diane returned with the royal couple's Mythical Suitcases from Doug and Delilah.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?"
Everyone turned to the source of the voice and Friede and his Charizard reunited with the others to help keep Amethio, Onia, and Zirc at bay. What was interesting was that Cap joined them as he rode on his partner's right shoulder, his smirk still on his face and surprising Bella, Blitz, and Curly as they've never met a Pikachu like him. They could tell he was nothing like Ash's Pikachu; while Ash's Pikachu is sometimes aloof and an idiot as well as loyal, smart, caring, and a lovable guy, what they felt from Cap was a sense of hardened duty, finely-polished loyalty that eclipsed Pikachu's loyalty to his friends, he was gruffer around the edges which neatly melded with his compassionate side, he was by-the-books in character, wiser than Pikachu beyond his years, and the energy they felt from him told them he was a battle-ready warrior of sorts when his strength is needed.
"Whoa... Is that a male Pikachu with a ship captain's hat?"
"So cool!" gasped Bella and Curly in awe.
"Oh, brother! Now, I've seen everything!" Blitz remarked as he facepalmed himself in disbelief and Charizard landed on the Wing Deck with Cap giving him a cheeky wink as he briefly turned to Sarah's Pikachu son.
Onia and Zirc took out their Pokeballs as they prepared to send out Rhydon and another Pokémon to stop them until Amethio held out his right arm to stop them from making any rash decisions without his approval.
"I'm fine, I can handle them," he ordered, forcing the two to back off.
"So, you three are part of the famous Explorers group I've been hearing many great things about, eh? My name's Friede, the leader of the Rising Volt Tacklers," Friede smirked, catching Sarah's attention as the way he said 'great' implied to her that the Explorers before them had a nefarious reputation that went with them (something she, her friends, and her family were all too familiar with, remembering Giovanni, Lothor, Team Rocket, and Team Eclipse).
"That's right. I am Amethio, can't be much of a leader if you'd think of flying right into a storm to shake us."
"You boarded my ship without my permission, pal."
"This matter doesn't concern you as of now; the girl here wants to battle me to prevent us from completing our mission. We'll see just how that goes and then you can complain all you want."
Silvally scoffed as he snarled at Amethio (his snarls being the only thing the Explorers, the Rising Volt Tacklers, Liko, Johnathan, and Diane heard while he remained fluent to Sarah and Race), "Shut up, you're wasting time yacking away. Let's get rid of these clowns."
With nothing left to say, Friede, Cap, and Charizard joined Sarah and Silvally while Amethio, his Ceruledge (whom he brought out to face the Synthetic Pokémon), Onia, and Zirc faced them from the opposite direction. Wanting to see what his old friend's adopted granddaughter and Silvally are capable of, Friede, Charizard, and Cap agreed to hand the battle over to them.
"I should warn you, Sarah; I've no intention of pulling any of my punches," Amethio claimed as he and Ceruledge braced themselves.
"Well, I got news for you, pal: the same goes with me and Silvally. Silvally, use Dragon Claw!" Sarah retorted as she made the first move, allowing Silvally to charge at the Fire Blade Pokémon with his right claw coated with Dragon Type energy.
Ceruledge blocked his Dragon Claw attack with ease and they ended up in a deadlock but little did he know that he only blocked one of his front claws as he had forgotten about his front left claw. Without warning and knowing what his human mother was thinking, he struck the powerful Ghost/Fire Type with his left claw coated in Dark Type Energy as he used Shadow Claw without warning. Despite the immense damage done to him, Ceruledge turned blue for a moment before he turned red.
"Hmph, Weak Armor; that move barely left a scratch on Ceruledge now that you've boosted his speed," Amethio scoffed, looking unimpressed.
"Don't be so sure, Amethio; sometimes, even a Pokémon with increased speed stats can't come close to touching my Silvally. Silvally, Swords Dance plus Iron Defense!"
Silvally roared proudly as he conjured several transparent swords that danced around him in a circle before they raised their blades and clashed against each other before he concentrated his energy and covered himself in a white glow. His body became as hard as iron while he was covered in a red energy aura, his Physical Attack and Defense stats now boosted sharply thanks to Iron Defense and Swords Dance.
"Quick Attack plus Shadow Claw - use Quick Shadow!"
"Ceruledge, Psycho Cut!"
The two Pokémon clashed again but despite the boost in Ceruledge's Speed stat, as he readied his Psycho Cut attack, Silvally proved himself to move much faster as he dodged and slashed him with Shadow Claw multiple times while using the speed he got from Quick Attack to loser his defense and weaken it at the same time (at the cost of increasing his Speed stats).
Amethio was shocked as he snarled at what he was seeing, "What's this?! That Pokémon's moving too fast, how is it doing that? I can't predict where it's going to attack next!"
Race, Johnathan, and Diane watched on with no hint of worry in the slightest but Liko couldn't help feeling anxious at the results of the battle at hand while Sprigatito just frowned.
"Use Bitter Blade and halt its movements!" Amethio continued with Ceruledge now going at Silvally with Bitter Blade.
"Block with Shadow Claw, Silvally!" Sarah countered as the Synthetic Pokémon blocked the Fire Blade Pokémon's Bitter Blade with his Shadow Claw.
"Thunderbolt!"
Not wanting to give his powerful adversary and his trainer time to counter, Silvally roared and used Thunderbolt to electrocute Ceruledge on the spot.
"Now, use Psychic Poison Fang!"
The Synthetic Pokémon continued to go on the attack as he bit his foe hard with his combo attack and threw him onto the ground without missing a beat.
"Damn it! This is not how we expected this battle to go, what kind of trainer is that girl?"
"Amethio's not landing a hit on her Pokémon with what it's throwing at Ceruledge! He can't keep up with that Frankenstein Pokémon!" Onia and Zirc snarled, gritting their teeth in frustration over seeing their leader floundering with Sarah.
"If you like that, then..." Sarah began as she took out the Dark Type Memory Drive, confusing Amethio as he wondered what she was going to do with it.
"What do you plan on doing with that toy?"
"Just watch. Now, Silvally, my mighty beast of royalty, ready? Accept your Dark Type Memory and become the dark beast of chaos conquering the eye of the lightning storm!"
She then threw the Dark Type Memory over to the Synthetic Pokémon who accepted it and returned the Grass Type Memory to the little princess as he released it from his RKS System. As his RKS System read the Dark Type Memory, he changed from being a Grass Type to a Dark Type with his head scales, tail fin, and eyes turning black, shocking the Rising Volt Tacklers, the Pokémon with them, Amethio, Onia, Zirc, Sprigatito, and Liko as they never saw anything like it before.
"What?!" Amethio gawked with a shocked snarl.
"What just happened?!"
"That creature changed Pokémon Types with just a stupid computer disc! I thought Pokémon could only change Types when they Mega Evolve with a Mega Stone and a Keystone wielded by their trainers!" Onia and Zirc balked, goggle-eyed.
"Wait, that disc Sarah threw...! Silvally changed Types with it; his head scales, his eyes, his tail fin, they all turned black at that moment! But, how? How come I didn't notice that the first time he did that? What is that Pokémon?" Liko thought, her shocked mind racing once again as she and Sprigatito gazed at Silvally in shocked awe with their draws dropping.
"I told you challenging us was a mistake, Amethio, especially with your Chicken game when your pal snagged Sprigatito! Silvally, use Multi-Attack!"
Silvally roared as he charged at the still-shocked Ceruledge while he was coated in Dark Type energy with Multi-Attack.
"Use Psycho Cut!" Amethio barked.
Ceruledge broke out of his stupor and used Psycho Cut but Silvally tanked the Psychic Type attack and rammed into him, forcing the Fire Blade Pokémon to block him with his sword arms, activating his Weak Armor ability again as his speed increased. But, with this latest hit, the Synthetic Pokémon's Multi-Type Attack also dwindled his physical defense further and pushed him into a nearby wall before pinning him tightly (dealing immense damage to Ceruledge from the Dark Type energy thrown at him).
By now, Amethio and Ceruledge were starting to lose their cool as the former barked, "Bitter Blade! NOW!"
"Shadow Dragon Claw!"
Ceruledge used Bitter Blade once more as he and Silvally ended up in another clash of the titans, the latter now using Shadow Dragon Claw to match his weakened opponent and showing no mercy despite the Fire/Ghost Type's assault.
The sight of Silvally and Sarah fighting to protect her and Liko was too much for Sprigatito, and at this point, she ultimately decided to act. And, so, wiggling out of Liko's arms, she ran out through the door and into the thick of the battle, shocking her trainer as she scrambled after her partner.
"Sprigatito, NOO!" she screamed only for the Grass Cat Pokémon to give her a hot glare, further shocking Liko as she stopped in front of her and tried to wrap her head around her wish to join in the fight.
"Liko, what are we supposed to do?! If you're thinking what I think you're thinking, you're crackers!" Sprigatito snapped angrily at her human partner.
"W-What are you doing, Sprigatito? Why are you so-?"
"There's no telling what'll happen to us, Sarah, Race, and their Terapagos if they catch us! We can't just do nothing, we have to help Sarah and Silvally fight! If those evil guys take us, that's it! Game over, they win! IS THAT REALLY WANT YOU WANTED?"
Liko was stunned by what she was hearing from Sprigatito despite not being able to understand her fluently. But, the more she thought about it, she realized that in the back of her mind, she wanted to surrender to Amethio and the Explorers so that nobody would get hurt because of her, Sarah, and Race. This also meant she would be forsaking her and Sprigatito's budding friendship with their new friends, not to mention backstabbing the Rising Volt Tacklers and the little princess' adoptive grandparents in the process despite everything they did to help them get out of trouble.
"I see...… What am I doing? I'm just lying to myself, thinking everyone will be safe if I just surrender and expect Race and Sarah to do the same. And, Sprigatito knows that before I did,'" she thought, her eyes welling with tears of regret before she saw her partner bracing herself to join in the battle.
Getting back on her feet and steeling herself with her newfound determination from her partner, Liko took a deep breath and stood with Sprigatito as she said, "Alright. Let's help Sarah, use Leafage!"
"HyyyyyyyyyYAAAAAHHHHH!" Sprigatito howled, firing a Leafage attack that was surprisingly more powerful compared to before as a giant flurry of energy leaves charged at Amethio.
Amethio turned in surprise at the attack that was about to blow him off but seeing this, Ceruledge abandoned his battle with Silvally and blocked the attack to protect his master, causing the attack to swirl around the Wing Deck. Seeing this, Liko and Sprigatito were ecstatic as they finally managed to master a perfect Leafage attack with the two of them finally in sync with each other.
"W-We did it! We did it, Sprigatito!" Liko cheered excitedly, surprising Cap and Friede while Race smiled as he chuckled at Liko before Onia and Zirc brought out their Skarmory.
Unfortunately, their success was short-lived as Sarah noticed this and gasped before she cried in alarm, "No! Liko, Sprigatito, get back!"
But, it was too late; as they were still in the midst of the storm, it dispersed Sprigatito's Leafage and the wind picked up, knocking Liko down and blowing the Grass Cat Pokémon away from her.
"Sprigatito!" Liko screamed in horror, causing Sarah to gasp again and lunge at the Paldea Grass Starter before she grabbed her and threw her to Silvally (who managed to catch her in his mouth) at the cost of her falling off the Wing Deck in her place.
"SARAH/OH, NO!" Liko and Friede cried as everyone else on the heroes' side gasped in alarm.
However, things only got worse as Amethio's Corviknight appeared with the little princess in his talons as she struggled violently against the Raven Pokémon's hold (the Flying Type having jumped to her rescue when he noticed her flying off the Wing Deck). And, if that's not bad enough, they saw the disgruntled and humiliated Amethio on him with Onia and Skarmory riding their Skarmory before they were forced to retreat (knowing that the storm could blow them away and swallow them up any minute), taking Sarah with them as a hostage.
"Mother!" Silvally yelled in shock.
"NO!" Sprigatito wailed, horrified over what happened to Sarah when she saved her as everybody could only watch the Explorers disappear with the little princess in their grasp.
Liko was devastated by this as she fell to her knees and started to cry, realizing that despite her and Sprigatito's success with Leafage, their intervention caused everyone with them to lose Sarah to the Explorers even if they didn't get her and Race's Terapagos and her pendant.
"...…SAAAARAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
