Chapter Summaries

After learning about the area and contacting Su Qing, Su Hao declined help from his home alliance and decided to search for the mysterious four-eyed bird Pokémon before heading to Electric Grand Canyon. He was surrounded by wild Luxray and chose to fight them with Diancie.

• Ophelia told Su Hao about Electric Grand Canyon and shared electric-current training methods after he helped Smith.
• Su Hao declined Ophelia's invitation to travel with them and refused Su Qing's offer to send an Elite Four member or Champion to retrieve him.
• Su Hao decided to search for the mysterious bird Pokémon described by Ophelia and Smith, then planned to visit Electric Grand Canyon if he found nothing.
• Su Hao used Aura to confirm that three Professional Level and four Elite Level Luxray had surrounded him, with no other Pokémon lying in ambush.
• Su Hao assigned the three Professional Level Luxray to Diancie and charged the four Elite Level Luxray himself.

Su Hao fought four Shinx himself while Diancie handled three Luxray, using Aura to track the inexperienced attackers. He dodged the leading male Shinx’s electrified strike, sending it crashing toward one of the female Shinx.

• Su Hao charged the four Shinx while Diancie attacked the three Luxray with rocks.
• Su Hao used Aura and the Shinx’s noisy movements to track their positions as they scattered around him.
• The male Shinx leaped at Su Hao with an electrified paw while the other three closed in from different directions.
• Su Hao bent backward to evade the strike, and the male Shinx sailed past him toward the female Shinx behind him.

Su Hao drove off a group of Luxray with help from his Pokémon, then spotted a Boss Shiny Hisuian Braviary diving toward them. He ordered Diancie, Incineroar, and Milotic to protect Little Dreepy while he prepared to capture the bird alive.

• Su Hao knocked several Luxray aside with a sweeping attack and used Aura Bullets to force the remaining pair to retreat.
• Diancie released the three Luxray she had trapped, and they rescued their injured companions before fleeing.
• Milotic gave Su Hao water to wash the dirt from his hands as Diancie noticed something approaching in the sky.
• Su Hao identified the approaching Pokémon as a Boss Shiny Hisuian Braviary and decided to capture it alive.
• Su Hao told Diancie, Incineroar, and Milotic to protect Little Dreepy while he went after the Hisuian Braviary.

Su Hao’s Pokémon battled the injured Boss Hisuian Braviary, and Milotic used her ability to fly and overpower him. As she dragged him toward the ground, the Braviary remembered falling as a Rufflet and heard a mocking voice.

• Su Hao realized he could not reach the airborne Hisuian Braviary, so he ordered Milotic to block its Air Slash with Aqua Tail.
• Milotic neutralized the Braviary’s attacks, then flew upward and challenged it with Dragon Pulse.
• Milotic’s Dragon Pulse clashed with the Braviary’s attack, and she used the smoke to approach him.
• Milotic wrapped around the Braviary, restrained him, and dragged him toward the ground despite his struggles.
• The falling Braviary remembered a childhood fall as a Rufflet and recalled someone mocking his inability to fly.

• Milotic changed her mind about slamming Hisuian Braviary into the ground after seeing him tremble, but Diancie caught them with Psychic before they fell.
• Incineroar restrained Dragapult from rushing over, and Su Hao caught Dragapult when he escaped and tried to reach Milotic and Diancie.
• Milotic told Su Hao that Hisuian Braviary was lying on the ground and trembling instead of attacking again.
• Su Hao examined Hisuian Braviary and found only minor scrapes and a scorch mark on his right wing from Thunderbolt.
• Su Hao failed to connect with the forest to use Forest Heal, then sent Tokiwa Power into Hisuian Braviary to treat him.

Su Hao healed the injured Hisuian Braviary and agreed to take him along so Milotic and Diancie could help him recover from his trauma. He brought Incineroar to Electric Grand Canyon to begin Lightning Body Tempering, while a Pokémon Egg deep underground began to tremble.

• Incineroar used Taunt to draw in three Electabuzz, then defeated them with a Fire Tornado formed by Darkest Lariat.
• Su Hao and Incineroar went to look for a place to set up camp, while a yellow-striped Pokémon Egg underground trembled beside a broken piece of golden stone.

Su Hao and Incineroar searched Electric Grand Canyon for a campsite, encountering several Electric-type Pokémon before settling in for the night. There, Su Hao and Milotic began trying to reach the traumatized Hisuian Braviary, and Su Hao coached Milotic in persuasion.

• Su Hao and Incineroar drove off several waves of wild Electric-type Pokémon, and Diancie helped defeat a Professional Level Vikavolt and Magnezone.
• Su Hao sent Incineroar to find a safe campsite, then set up a camouflaging tent with help from Diancie and Milotic.
• Su Hao brought Milotic to speak with the withdrawn Hisuian Braviary and guessed that a past fall had caused his trauma.
• Milotic suggested that Braviary's behavior meant someone had once saved him after he fell, and Su Hao decided to promise help finding that benefactor.
• Su Hao taught Milotic persuasive techniques so she could try to reach Hisuian Braviary.

Su Hao learned that Hisuian Braviary had come from a place connected to Hisui through a Space-Time Distortion and was searching for the white-and-blue bird Pokémon that had saved him as a Rufflet. The group resolved to help find the rescuer, while Articuno worried that the distortion might signal trouble involving Dialga and Palkia.

• Su Hao and Milotic persuaded Hisuian Braviary to recover his spirits, and he ate the Flying-type Energy Cubes Su Hao had saved for Articuno.
• Hisuian Braviary explained that he had come from a vast place unlike the present world and that a Space-Time Distortion had brought him near Electric Grand Canyon.
• Hisuian Braviary recounted how a mysterious white-and-blue bird Pokémon had saved him after he fell from a mountain as a Rufflet, inspiring him to search for his rescuer.
• Su Hao promised to help find the Pokémon and considered possible candidates, including Togekiss, Swanna, and Articuno.
• Articuno said she had never seen Hisuian Braviary's rescuer and worried that the Space-Time Distortion could be connected to Dialga and Palkia.

Su Hao began the first day of special training in Electric Grand Canyon, with Diancie teaching Incineroar energy control while he assessed Braviary in battle. Incineroar passed Diancie’s test, and Su Hao planned the team’s next training activities.

• Su Hao brought Incineroar to a low-Electrifying-Stone area, where Diancie taught it precise energy control.
• Su Hao had Braviary attack Milotic so he could assess Braviary’s abilities and plan its training.
• Su Hao found Braviary strong with varied moves but poor at flying, and decided to focus its training on Flying Skills.
• Diancie and Incineroar returned at night after Incineroar passed her test and became ready to try Current Body Tempering.
• Su Hao planned to help Incineroar train with Electrifying Stone, send Diancie and Dragapult to battle weak Electric-type Pokémon, and have Articuno teach Braviary to fly.

Su Hao began training Incineroar in Current Body Tempering at Electric Grand Canyon, using Wave Power to monitor him and Tokiwa Power to heal the injuries caused by the current. Incineroar completed tempering his right arm and showed a major increase in striking power, while Dragapult’s Life Energy reached 21%.

• Su Hao and Incineroar began Current Body Tempering, carefully channeling current through Incineroar’s right arm while Su Hao healed the resulting injuries with Tokiwa Power.
• Incineroar endured repeated injuries as he increased the current’s intensity until he could temper his entire right arm.
• Diancie tested Incineroar’s improvement with Ancient Power Rocks, and he split every one with a single Shadow Strike.
• Braviary sparred with Milotic and sought guidance from Articuno on Flying Skills.
• Dragapult trained in actual combat with Diancie, gained experience, and raised his Life Energy to 21%.

Incineroar halted Current Body Tempering near his heart, seeking to break through to the Professional Level when the first round was complete. Su Hao and Incineroar ventured deeper into the Electric Grand Canyon to use wild Pokémon’s lightning for a breakthrough, and the chapter ended as Incineroar faced an Elite Level Late Stage Electabuzz.

• Over twelve days, Incineroar tempered his limbs and most of his torso, reaching the Elite Level Late Stage as his physical strength improved.
• Incineroar stopped torso tempering at eighty percent and told Su Hao he wanted to break through to the Professional Level when the round was complete.
• Su Hao agreed that stronger lightning might help and chose Electabuzz and its newly evolved Professional Level leader, Electivire, as their targets.
• Su Hao and Incineroar found an Elite Level Late Stage Electabuzz away from its tribe, and Su Hao agreed not to heal Incineroar during the battle unless he lost.
• Incineroar Taunted Electabuzz into attacking, and Su Hao commanded him to use Bulk Up as Electabuzz charged with Quick Attack and Thunder Punch.

Su Hao prepared Incineroar to face a Professional Level Electivire, after Incineroar endured Electabuzz’s Thunderbolt to strengthen his body. The chapter left Incineroar and Electivire ready to battle inside Articuno’s Ice Arena.

• Incineroar used Bulk Up, grabbed Electabuzz, and endured its Thunderbolt, absorbing the current as Tokiwa Power repaired and strengthened his body.
• Su Hao healed the exhausted Electabuzz and told Incineroar to fight Electivire with everything he had and seek a breakthrough.
• Articuno cleared the nearby Electabuzz away and formed an ornate Ice Arena without letting its cold affect Incineroar.
• Su Hao watched from Articuno’s elevated platform as Incineroar faced Electivire for their one-on-one battle.

Su Hao had Incineroar use Electivire’s lightning to complete its first Current Body Tempering, pushing it past the Elite Level barrier and into the Early Professional Level. The chapter ended with Incineroar’s breakthrough complete and its updated status displayed.

• Electivire began battling Incineroar, and Su Hao used Fake Out, Parting Shot, and Will-O-Wisp to weaken it.
• Incineroar endured Electivire’s Thunderbolt and guided the current through its body to temper itself.
• Incineroar taunted Electivire into summoning Thunder from the clouds and took the attack head-on.
• As Su Hao’s stored Life Energy neared exhaustion, Incineroar’s cells absorbed the lightning and its Elite Level barrier shattered.
• Articuno stopped Su Hao from healing Incineroar as it broke through to the Early Professional Level.

Su Hao and Incineroar used Aura Resonance to turn Electivire’s last-ditch assault into a counterattack. Incineroar charged through Electivire’s Wild Charge, and the chapter ended as flames and lightning collided.

• Electivire rejected the chance to surrender and prepared to fight Incineroar with its returning strength.
• Su Hao linked his Aura with Incineroar, sharing their senses and thoughts as Electivire leapt toward him.
• Incineroar threw a guided Aura Bullet to delay Electivire, then struck its shoulder with Shadow Strike and drove it into a crater.
• Electivire gathered its remaining power and charged with Wild Charge while Su Hao and Incineroar recalled an earlier desperate battle.
• Incineroar surged forward as a burning Crimson Meteor, and its flames collided with Electivire’s lightning in a massive energy tornado.

Su Hao planned to leave Electric Grand Canyon after his Pokémon grew stronger and his supplies ran low, but overnight tremors revealed sealed ruins hidden in the canyon. Articuno explained that even Zapdos had failed to breach their stone gate, leaving Su Hao wondering what powerful force lay within.

• Su Hao decided to leave Electric Grand Canyon and head back to Divine Land Alliance after reviewing his team’s progress and dwindling supplies.
• Su Hao recalled that Incineroar had reached the full-fledged Professional Level, while Diancie had improved her energy control and Milotic had bonded with Braviary.
• Deafening tremors woke Su Hao and the Pokémon during the night.
• Articuno told Su Hao that ruins deep in the canyon had temporarily appeared.
• Articuno explained that Zapdos had once attacked the ruins’ stone gate with its full power, but the gate absorbed the lightning without being damaged.

Su Hao and Articuno reached the Stone Gate Ruins and found six sleeping Unown on the entrance, which Su Hao suspected were connected to Zapdos’s failed attack. When Su Hao touched Unown J with Wave Power, it awakened and asked whether he would open the gate and accept the Trial.

• Su Hao convinced Articuno to take him to investigate the ruins, and they passed a crowd of Electric-type Pokémon fighting near the outer entrance.
• Articuno led Su Hao over a mountain to a neglected stone gate, where Su Hao discovered six sleeping Unown.

• Su Hao asked Articuno to be ready to carry him away and tried touching the gate and Unown with Wave Power.
• Unown J awakened, and an unfamiliar voice asked Su Hao whether he would open the stone gate and accept the Trial.

Su Hao learned that the Stone Gate Trial required him to collect proofs from the Lake Guardians and began planning his return to the Divine Land Alliance. Meanwhile, Ophelia and Smith found a chance to catch the Electric-type Pokémon they had been searching for in Electric Grand Canyon.

• Su Hao awakened the six Unown, which revealed that he had to obtain the Proofs of Wisdom, Emotion, and Will from the three Lake Guardians before returning to begin the Trial.
• Su Hao concluded that the ruins might be connected to Arceus, and his mission offered a mysterious Pokémon Egg and a fragment of a Stone Slab as rewards.
• Articuno admitted it did not know where the Lake Guardians or their lakes were, so Su Hao planned to search for them later.
• Su Hao decided to return to the Divine Land Alliance, visit Milotic's family, and prepare for the High School Cup and Braviary's training.
• Ophelia and Smith watched Electric-type Pokémon battling in Electric Grand Canyon and decided to use the opportunity to catch a Vikavolt or Magnezone.
• Ophelia released her Starter Pokémon, Ampharos, and prepared to drive the wild Pokémon out one at a time.

Su Hao and his Pokémon reached the island near Shuizhou City and summoned Latios and Latias with the Infinite Flute. Latios was astonished by how much Su Hao’s companions had changed and by the presence of Articuno, while Latias welcomed Milotic back.

• Su Hao rode Articuno to Shuizhou City without attracting any Legendary Pokémon or triggering the city’s energy detectors.
• Su Hao reached the island where Latios and Latias had closed the Infinite Secret Realm to protect its Pokémon from the New Star Organization and Darkrai.
• Su Hao blew the Infinite Flute, and Latios and Latias descended to meet him and his Pokémon.
• Latias affectionately greeted Milotic and asked Su Hao whether anything had happened during his return.
• Latios inspected Su Hao’s companions, noticed their changes, and was shocked to find Articuno among them.

Su Hao shared what he knew about the New Star Organization with Latios and Latias, but they had no clues about the Lake Guardians. They offered Dragon and Ghost Gems and the Heart's Drop Gem to help Dragapult evolve and revive one of his siblings, leaving Su Hao to prepare the Life Energy.

• Su Hao told Latios and Latias about the New Star Organization, Darkrai, and the Legendary Pokémon he had encountered.
• Su Hao asked about the Lake Guardians, but Latios, Latias, and Articuno did not know where to find them.
• Latios and Latias offered Dragon Gems, Ghost Gems, and the Heart's Drop Gem to aid Dragapult's evolution and Little Mei's training.
• Su Hao began preparing Life Energy while Latios explained how they would help Dragapult absorb it and complete his evolution.
• Su Hao planned to take the remaining Dragon Gems and ask his mother for money to buy more Ghost Gems.

Su Hao and Latios and Latias used the Heart's Drop Gem to channel Life Energy into Dreepy, and Giratina's power created a Shadow Cocoon that revived a second Dreepy as the first evolved into Dragonair. The chapter ended with Su Hao stunned that the newly revived Dreepy matched Dragonair in level and moves.

• Su Hao confirmed that Giratina's power would complete Dreepy's evolution once Life Energy entered his body, and Latios and Latias began the process with the Heart's Drop Gem.
• As Dreepy's Life Energy reached 50%, darkness wrapped him in a Shadow Cocoon while Latios and Latias calmed the wild Pokémon nearby.
• Diancie, Milotic, Incineroar, Braviary, Articuno, and Su Hao watched as the Shadow Cocoon dissolved in sunlight and Dreepy emerged as Dragonair.
• Dragonair landed beside Su Hao with a second Dreepy perched on his head, and Su Hao saw that the revived Dreepy shared Dragonair's level and moves.
