Pokémon: Sunrise&Sunset

Poipole and other Ultra Beasts

Ash and Dawn had just finished visiting Ula'ula Meadow and were continuing their journey. They wanted to get to the next Pokémon Center before dark. They had seen on the map that it was in the city after Route 17.– I can't wait to get to the Pokémon Center and give Oricorio the Red Nectar. - commented the coach looking in front of him.In fact, in his arms he had a bottle of Red Nectar. It was given to him by a local trainer when she learned that he too had an Oricorio.– Rosalba was really kind to give you that bottle, I'm really curious to see Oricorio in flamenco style! - exclaimed the enthusiastic coordinator looking at him. - But the bottle is too big... doesn't it bother you to carry it? - she added a little worried.- But no, it's all right. - he said forcing himself to smile while continuing to look in front of him.They had taken the wrong turn, but they hadn't realized it yet. The term err isn't exactly accurate... let's just say that they had arrived at a point that led nowhere... in reality, yes, but certainly not where they wanted to go.I'm starting to think we did something wrong. Dawn commented, looking around worriedly as they continued walking.- But no, I'm sure it's from here. - Ash said, continuing to look in front of him.- It will be... - the girl murmured, not very convinced, looking forward again. - But this path seems infinite and moreover the time is ghostly... but is it possible that in this point the fog is so thick?? -They kept walking for a while, then they saw a trainer looking at them and they stopped.– Who knows what will have happened in the distant past to this temple. he said with a hand close to his heart. - You are tourists, aren't you? Be careful from here on out. -The two friends looked at her amazed, then looked at each other. What was he talking about? A temple??

Although by now they were aware that they had taken the wrong road, they wanted to continue and see the famous temple. Seeing was a big word since the strange mist was getting thicker and thicker. But they had thought that by now they had gone the wrong way and might as well go to the end.- Wow... - Dawn let out when she saw the building. - An abandoned temple with an ancient air... -– In Alola there are a lot of places with an ancient air, it seems to live in another era. Ash commented.They were both looking at the palace, but then Dawn caught sight of two people talking and Ash, realizing it, looked in the same direction as well. They were Mirin and Syron. How to forget. It was the two of them who had told them about Necrozma and Ultra Space.Who knows what they were doing in that place. Necrozma had been captured by a strong and brave trainer who had stepped in to save the day this time. The Ultra Beast was no longer to pose a danger to them. If they were still on earth it must surely be for another reason.– Those are Mirin and Syron. - Said the coordinator looking at them and isolating the voice in her friend's ear.– What are they discussing? I thought they stayed in Ultra Megalopolis and we would never see them again. he said, looking forward in his turn.They continued to watch the two talk for a while, then their gaze was caught by another gentleman on the other side. He was looking at the lake that bordered the temple entrance. He had a really imprinted look, you could tell even if he was from behind...– I would like to ask that gentleman for information. - Dawn said and then started walking towards him. - Excuse me!? -Ash decided to follow her without saying anything. He too was curious to know where they were. It should have been marked on the map, but it was clear by now that they had gone off course.Can you tell me the name of this place? My friend and I got lost. she explained, stopping.The man had turned to look at them and was a little surprised.– You are coaches, right? he asked and then smiled. - This place is quite suggestive, don't you think? It looks like it's abandoned, but really... I don't know. -- He does not know? - Dawn said confused.– What does it mean? - Ash asked equally confused.– I have the impression that something has yet to happen here. - tried to explain the man.- For example? - Asked the confused coordinator.– Where are we anyway? You know, right? asked the coach instead.– We are in front of the temple of the Lake of the Sunne. -– The Lake of the Sunne? - the girl repeated, surprised by the fact that she hadn't noticed it on the map.– Solgaleo lived here once. -- Really?? - Dawn let out.– Exactly, the Solar Lake was the home of Solgaleo as well as the Lake of the Moone is for Lunala. -As soon as he said that sentence to both, two different memories came to mind. To Ash when he begged Nebby to help him find Dawn and transformed into Lunala, and to the girl when she read at Lunala's library. Both, however, had come to wonder the same thing. And that is what was really hidden behind his figure. At that moment they were in front of the Altar of the Sunne, however the two Legendary Pokémon were bound. Solgaleo was the Pokémon of the sun, while Lunala was the Pokémon of the night. Night and day serve each other. They live together in peace and harmony. And so it had to be for the two Pokémon as well.But if it really was so, why did they live in two different temples? And where exactly was the Lunar Lake located??– You know the legend of Alola, right? Do you want me to tell you about it? -– Thank you very much for your availability, but now it's better that we go. - Ash said with a hint of a smile.– Yes, thank you very much for the information. - Dawn said, smiling in turn.– Imagine, a real pleasure! - he exclaimed and then turned around and started looking at the lake again with an impressed expression.The two were dazed with a huge drop behind their heads. The boy forced a smile and the girl widened her eyes a little.– Ash and Dawn I see, for how long. - Syron said as he and Mirin approached.Not so much, Syron. Mirin commented.Ash and Dawn looked at them in amazement that they had finally approached them.– Thanks again for helping us with the "Shining" last time. - Syron said, stopping.– Everything has been fine in Ultra Megalopolis since you intervened. - echoed Mirin.- Know, however, that it wasn't Necrozma's fault... - commented Ash starting to get a little annoyed at the memory of what had happened.- Ash... - Dawn murmured, worried that she might get too hot.– You're right Ash, we have no justification for it. - Syron said raising her arms to the sky. - The "Shining One" was our ally, but we were too blinded by our lust for power. - he added bringing his arms back to his sides.– We sincerely hope that the "Splendente" will be happy and start a new life with his new coach. Mirin said.The two were surprised. From their tone they seemed very involved. They had never expected it... maybe it was true, after all, that things had just gotten out of hand. Probably they hadn't wanted to cause damage on purpose, it was just the degeneration of events. Even if it wasn't justifiable. They had behaved immaturely and it was only right that they acknowledged that.– What are you doing here anyway? - decided to ask the coach even if still a little confused.- Are you here to do some research? - echoed the coordinator.– It seems that Alola is connected to a parallel world similar in all respects. - Syron said with some emphasis. - Isn't that amazing?? Is it due to the influence of the Ultra Wormholes? The mysteries of this region never end...it's very interesting. -The two were once again stunned.A parallel world? It had been quite automatic for Ash to think of the parallel world he had reached in Kalos in the Reflection Cave. What if the two things were connected? Both he and Dawn knew well what had happened in Sinnoh because of Team Galactic. The fact that Syron and Mirin were now talking about a parallel world seemed to have something to do with the famous world idealized by Cyrus. They hadn't had a chance to know how things officially turned out at the time. What if Cyrus finally made it and recreated a new world similar to the original one, but with changes that in his eyes made it better?? Or maybe it had nothing to do with it, but Ash had a strange feeling about it.– If it were up to me, we could also conclude the investigation and go to the Pokémon League. Mirin spoke up. 'I've heard they're building one and that's great considering this is more of a tourist region, but of course it's a privilege to accompany Commander Syron on field investigations. -Both Ultra Patrol recruits smiled somewhat naïvely. It was clear that they didn't have much knowledge about the world yet. It seemed that anything could amaze them—and not the kind of amazement that one travels and sees new places.– Well... while we're here, we thought we'd visit the temple a bit. - Ash said a little uneasily.Those rivers of words and the consequent thoughts that had arisen had stunned him a bit.– Do you think it's possible? - Dawn asked, uncertain whether to ask permission or not.- Certain. - Syron said extending an arm towards the building. - Just be careful where you step. -- Are you just out here? - asked the coach, ready to go.– Yeah, aren't you curious to visit the inside? - echoed the friend.We were there days ago. - said the commander.We're now analyzing the data out there. - explained the other. - It's a long and complex process. -Once again the friends were stunned and thought almost simultaneously:"How long have I been here!?"
