Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Lunayala?"

Cynthia gently twirled her golden ribbon, gazing with some curiosity at the ethereal sprite that echoed the moon. Its shape resembled a bat, with golden arcs around the edges of its wings, and its head was supported by the stand-up collar of its cloak like a vampire's.

It echoes the moon, making the moonlight even more dazzling and bright.

"'Lunayara, the Moon Goddess' from Alola's legends, represents the moon's gentle radiance," Xia Yan said slowly.

He explained something to Cynthia.

To be honest, Natsuhiko didn't expect Lunayara to appear here.

but.

Looking at Cosmog, who flew out of his arms and kept happily calling "Gugu," Xia Yan had a certain guess in his mind.

Lunayara gently flapped her wings and slowly descended from the sky.

Accompanying this was the constant, scattered moonlight.

Most of them ended up on Cosmogu.

Bathing the little one in the moonlight makes him look even more radiant and dazzling.

"Chirp chirp—"

Tapu Koko chirped softly.

Lunayara's movements paused slightly.

His gaze swept over Tapu Koko and Xia Yan, who was standing on the balcony behind Cosmog.

at the same time.

Three streams of color rushed in from different directions outside Mela Mela Island.

They appeared beside Tapu Koko and Natsuhiko.

They are Tapu Moo, Tapu Lele, and Tapu Fizz.

All four island guardians of the Alola region have appeared.

When they arrived, Lunayara flapped her wings again, and three small orbs radiating golden light flew out from her wings.

"Gugu~~"

Cosmogu let out a joyful cry and swallowed the small balls one by one, just like eating candy.

The island's guardians simply watched this scene silently and did not intervene.

"Mahinepea!"

After seeing Cosmog devour the orbs of light, Lunayara gently called out to the four island guardians.

Upon hearing this...

The expressions of the four island guardians instantly turned serious, mixed with disbelief.

"Chirp chirp?"

Tapu Koko, representing the four island guardians, stepped forward.

Lunayara nodded slightly.

Its confirmation made the expressions of the four island guardians even more serious.

However, Xia Yan and Shirona said they couldn't understand what they were communicating.

Only Cosmog, after consuming the three orbs of light, slowly descended from the sky and quietly lay curled up in Xia Yan's arms.

Sylveon stayed close to Xia Yan.

Cosmog wasn't the only one to benefit from the moonlight; it also gained some advantages from the scattered moonlight.

After glancing at Cosmog again, Lunala's wings fluttered slightly.

With a turn of its head, it slapped back an Ultimate Beast that had quietly sprung out from an Ultimate Hole that had opened up beside it.

Ultimate Beast?

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment as he looked at the Ultimate Hole that had opened without warning, and the Ultra Beast that rushed out of it, which seemed to have no goodwill towards Lunala.

“Mahinepea—”

After Lunala shouted to the four island guardians again, she rushed into the newly opened Ultimate Cave without hesitation.

Xia Yan could even vaguely see Lunayara and the Ultra Beasts preparing to charge out one after another in that Ultimate Cave, fighting each other.

but.

Those Ultra Beasts didn't seem to pose much of a threat when facing Lunala.

soon.

The ultimate hole that had been opened slowly closed and disappeared into the night sky.

Throughout the entire process, Xia Yan and Xi Lunna simply observed, unaware of what had actually happened.

I have this feeling.

After talking with Lunala, the four island guardians appeared to be under immense pressure.

There was probably only one reason that Xia Yan could think of that could make these guys show such expressions.

The glorious god, Necrozma!

"Chirp chirp—"

After seeing Lunala enter the Ultimate Cave, the island's guardians also came to their senses and looked at Xia Yan.

"Tapu Koko, what happened?"

Tapu Koko blinked its golden eyes, seemingly trying to find the right words.

After a moment, its voice rang in Xia Yan's mind.

Glory is awakening.

The voice sounded somewhat heavy, accompanied by a hint of worry and a faint trace of memory.

"so?"

Necrozma has always been imprisoned in the Ultra Metropolis Tower, and its resurgence has been suppressed time and time again by the people of Ultra Metropolis.

Could it be that the people of Metropolis have lost control this time?

Someone has their eye on Lunayara.

"Someone?"

Xia Yan was slightly stunned.

He then asked, "The group in the Ultimate Metropolis?"

Tapu Koko shook his head slightly.

It didn't explain it clearly.

Xia Yan was silent.

Tapu Komatsu continued:

It needs help.

"Who? Lunayara?"

[She is both Lunayara and Necrozma.]

Xia Yan savored it carefully.

That's when I understood what Tapu Shooting meant.

They all want Necrozma to return to normal.

only.

Restoring it to its original state seems rather difficult.

"So, the key lies with Cosmog?"

Xia Yan looked down at the little one in his arms.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Is this little guy the legendary Solgaleo?

In other words.

Lunala needs Solgaleo's power to fight Necrozma.

Or rather, help Necrozma recover?

Because he couldn't communicate with Lunaya, Natsuhiko only had a superficial understanding of many things.

He can only make relatively reasonable guesses based on the information and circumstances he knows.

The total solar eclipse will be here soon.

Tapu Koko did not answer Xia Yan's question.

On the day of the total solar eclipse, Necrozma will go completely berserk.

"The Manaro Celebration?"

Xia Yan thought for a moment and asked.

For the people of Alora, a total solar eclipse is a special day.

once.

The Alola region is shrouded in darkness, making it difficult for both elves and humans to survive.

Until one day, the "Radiant God" descended and brought light to the whole world.

This also transformed the Alora region into the prosperous place it is today.

Therefore, to commemorate that day, the Alola region holds the "Manalo Festival" on the day of the total solar eclipse. In the Alola language, "Manalo" means "sharing".

This does correspond to the original animation.
