Hearing Oranguru's answer, Luo Mu froze.
In other words, after he had set off for the Sinnoh Region with his full main team from the farm, ready to fight the "Championship Match" with everything he had...
Zygarde Core had not shown itself at the farm?
Could it have secretly followed him out and stowed away to Hisui, only to forget to come back with him?
No, that was not right.
The thought flashed through Luo Mu's mind for only an instant before he dismissed it completely.
While Zygarde Core was surprisingly skilled at hiding itself...
Not to mention Luo Mu himself, Calyrex would certainly have noticed if it had followed them.
Calyrex had never mentioned anyone secretly following them along the way, either.
Even when Goomy fused and evolved using its Cell materials, it had not appeared.
So Zygarde Core definitely had not followed them. That possibility had been untenable from the very beginning.
Then where had it gone?
Luo Mu did not know. In the end, the Pokémon he understood the least in the entire farm was undoubtedly Zygarde Core.
After encountering it in Terminus Cave in the Alola Region, it had inexplicably followed him home. Then it had spent its days freeloading at the farm, basking in the sun, and... splitting off its Cells.
What it was thinking and what it planned to do were completely unknown.
"The Cells are still here, though."
Luo Mu closed his eyes. He no longer needed the Hint System; through the Power of Transcendence, he could clearly sense the countless Zygarde Cells scattered like stars throughout the farm and even Los Platos, all centered around himself.
After thinking for a while, Luo Mu still could not figure out what it was doing, so he decisively gave up.
Luo Mu waved a hand.
