12. The Sevestar Prince Darker Version

Chapter 87

As they exit Purgh Hospital, Ash and Alice continue discussing the recent upheaval within Team Rainbow, reflecting somberly on the loss of Sapphire and the turmoil it has stirred. "It's tragic," Ash remarks, his tone heavy with regret. "Finding out Sapphire was Phoenix's daughter, only for her to succumb to the virus unleashed by Agate's actions. With Ambrose gone too, it feels like the team is crumbling."

Alice nods in agreement, her expression troubled. "Even though Phoenix doesn't know about Agate's virus," she adds, her voice tinged with concern, "he blames us, thinking we had a hand in Sapphire's death. His grief has turned into rage, and the situation is getting darker by the day."

In the midst of their conversation, they deliberately avoid discussing Team Rainbow's true motives, recognizing the parallels between their group and the notorious Team Rocket. They acknowledge the dangers of a leader consumed by darkness, realizing the potential for their organization to be seen as a force of evil akin to their infamous counterparts.

"Solonet Town is a hub of scientific discovery, second only to Rotaeel City," Ash explains. "It's sparsely populated because most of the area is dedicated to scientific research and development."

Arven's eyes light up with curiosity. "So, does that mean there are more chances to encounter Legendary Pokémon?"

"Exactly," Ash confirms. "For instance, at the heart of the Solonet Science Park lies a hidden cave where Mew is said to dwell. Bring Mew to one of the scientists at the service center, and they might assist in creating a Mewtwo for you."

Arven's excitement grows. "Are there any other legendary encounters in Solonet Town?"

Ash nods, sharing another intriguing discovery. "You can also embark on a challenge by facing a group of elusive MissingNos in the tower nearby. Defeat all 18 of them, and you'll ascend to the tower's top floor, where you can claim the legendary Lake Trio for yourself."

Lance's curiosity piques as he asks, "What is the MissingNo?"

"They're a bunch of glitches capable of using Pokémon moves," Ash explains. "Since they operate like Pokémon and can compute, you'll need to think outside the box to beat them."

Alice interjects with another tidbit of information. "Regarding Legendary Pokémon, if you're aiming to find a Hoopa, keep an eye out for a mysterious Hoopa Hoop rumored to be located in this area."

Bonnie's curiosity about a peculiar object prompts her question. "And what's the story behind the Beast Ball Statue? Aren't Ultra Beasts typically Psychic types?"

Ash clarifies, "While there aren't Psychic-type Ultra Beasts, the statue serves as a gateway to the Ultra Metropolis. Additionally, we've established a friendly rapport with the Ultra Recon Squad."

(Note: Inside the area, the grass is filled with Cosmog encounters. To obtain Necrozma, players need to talk to a specific character within the area.)

"Speaking of rare encounters," Alice adds, "there's also a Calyrex Statue nearby. Calyrex tends to appear around there quite often."

(Note: To obtain Calyrex, players must locate the missing statue piece and interact with the statue. Calyrex will then appear and can be captured. After capturing Calyrex, players will encounter Glastrier at Mt. Iceat and Spectrier in the Mysterious Graveyard.)

Ash continues, "We've also discovered the Regi Temple, home to Regimind. It's the most intelligent of the Regis, created by Regigigas, and it has the unique ability to mimic all sorts of moves. Its primary ability is Clear Body, with Trace as its hidden ability."

"Sounds like a formidable addition to any team," Steven remarks, impressed by the capabilities of Regimind.

"Now, you're probably wondering where the gym is," Ash announces, leading the group toward a small booth with a teleportation pad. As they step into the booth, they're instantly transported, their surprise palpable as they find themselves standing on the surface of the moon.
