The Dust Settles, Diancie's Terastallization?

On the miraculously intact Muns Island.

Groudon lay on its back, bruised and battered, staring up at the sky. Compared to its earlier ferocity and coldness, it now looked rather lost.

Lugia's Aeroblast had been like a bucket of ice water, instantly shocking Groudon back to its senses.
