Once Ash activates all 5 of the gas machines, he hears a voice and a door opens. Ash decides to check out the door and finds that it goes underground.

Ash: So this is the Byxbysion Tunnels...I just hope nothing is going on here.

The underground is very complicated as Ash needs Flash to navigate the way, and he also captures some Pokemon lurking inside.

Ash's New Capture in Byxbysion Tunnels: Solosis (Cave)

After running for a while, he gets out of the tunnels and finds a grove, in front of him are fourth paths.

Ash: Which way can I go? (Looks around) Maybe I should try each of them...

The first route is a dead end with a Sun Stone, so Ash goes towards the second route, but when he goes to the second route, he finds a stone structure that Ash pales.

Ash: Pikachu...do you remember this...this is a Spiritomb's grave...

Pikachu nods, and he also finds an Odd Keystone beside them. Ash decides to put the stone into the structure, and they see how the spirits fly into the Odd Keystone and become a Spiritomb. Ash decides to capture it after defeating it with Pikachu's help.

Ash's New Capture in Byxbysion Grotto: Spiritomb (Event)

The third path is also a dead end, but when he goes towards the fourth one, he gasps as he sees a lot of Trubbish and a giant Garbodor rushing towards them.

Garbodor: AH AM MR.BIGGLESWORTH! LAHV ME!

Ash notices that, unlike the normal Garbodor, this Garbodor has more garbage in its body and it is also screaming in pain.

Ash: This is the PULSE Garbodor? That's why Corey said that there is one in the Byxbysion Wasteland?

Ash has Pikachu and Reuniclus battle both Pokemon, in the end, Garbodor goes for a Self-Destruct, which knocks out all the Pokemon the end, and the Garbodor's trash is scattered everywhere.
