The Rising Volt Tacklers reunite at a restaurant, children and adults alike. Murdock hugs Dot tightly, "Dot, you did so well!' He excaims as he wept.

Dot stiffened in embarrassment, trying to pry her uncle off her "Chill out, Uncle Murdock, the course isn't over yet."

"Yeah, we can't let up now." Roy added.

"And we won't!" Ash declare, "We'll beat the rest of the course, it'll be easy!"

Dot deadpanned, "Easy for you to sy, you're the World Monarch."

"Well, it wouldn't hurt to take a break every now and then." Orla chimed in.

"That'll help provide a healthy balance between your lives and training." Mollie added.

Orla notices the smile that remains on Liko's face, "Say, Liko, what's got you smiling?"

Liko perked up, not realizing someone noticed. "It just feels great for everyone to be back together."

"Oh yeah! It's amazing that we're all here!" Ash exclaimed.

"Well, by the time we get back, the ship should be airworthy again." Orla announced.

"And I'll be heading over to the Naranja Academy once we finish up here." Friede added.

"Why?" Dot asked, "The implementation tests don't start until tomorrow."

"I made an appointment to see Geeta and Clavell." Friede answered, "Now we should get a move on.

Friede and the trainers enter the Director's office after spliting up with the rest of the RVT. They come face-to-face with Director Clavell and Geeta, "Ah, Professor Friede." Geeta smiled, "It's an honor to see the professor in person."

"A pleasure as always, Champion Geeta." Friede smirked.

"I've been wanting to ask, how much do you know about Terapagos?" Geeta asked.

Friede smiled, "More than you'd expect."

Suddenly, Terapagos pokes its head out of Liko's bag. Much to Clavell and Geeta's shock. "You just have it?! Where on earth did you find this Pokemon?!" Geeta asked.

"Well, Terapagos was a pendant my grandma gave to me." Liko explained, "And then it came out."

"It's a weird story, we know." Ash added.

"Speaking of Terapagos," Friede changed the subject, "I've seen sightings of Terapagos through old Paldean records, you wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you Geeta?"

Geeta brings up old sketches of Terapagos' forms up onto a nearby TV screen. "While no details of Terapagos have been recovered, it's said to be a Pokémon with a strong connection to Terastal phenomenon." Clavell explained.

Liko pointed to the sketch of Terapagos on the right, "That's what Terapagos turned into when it saved Ash from the Black Rayquaza."

"That's the Terastal Form." Clavell explained.

"A Pokémon resembling Terapagos was sighted in Area Zero, the deepest point of the crater in fact." Geeta explained, changing the screen to a photo of a picture of the Great Crater of Paleda. "It was even recorded in the Scarlet Book."

Dot perks up at the mention of the Scarlet Book, "You mean this book?" Dot asked, pulling the book out of her backpack and flipping through the pages. She stops at a page containing another form of Terapagos on some sort of dome surronded by all 18 Pokemon types. "Maybe that's another form we haven't seen."

"Indeed." Clavell said, "We call it the Stellar Form."

"Still, Terapagos wants to go to a place called Laqua." Liko felt the need to say.
