The Lake Guardians showed Su Hao, Cynthia, and Lucian a vision of Sinnoh being destroyed by an inferno and an entity emerging through a space-time gate, then sent them to the crisis at Mount Coronet. Su Hao identified the entity as Dark Matter’s minions and suspected the gate led to Reshiram’s fallen original world.

• Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit brought Su Hao, Cynthia, and Lucian into a vast space and showed them a vision of the future.

• Su Hao identified the beings from the vision as Dark Matter’s minions and suspected the space-time gate led to Reshiram’s fallen original world.

As Heatran’s Flame Plate-fueled fire threatened the Pokémon Center and hundreds of refugees, Su Hao sought a way to counter flames ordinary Water-type moves could not extinguish. With Milotic and Hisuian Braviary holding the inferno back, Milotic summoned the Redemption Rain, while Heatran sensed the power from Mount Coronet.

• Cynthia and Lucian used Slowking and Shellos to bring heavy rain, but it evaporated on contact with the flames.
• Lucian found that even Mega Alakazam could not teleport enough refugees to safety, and Cynthia suspected the fire had an unusual origin.

• Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter panicked as Heatran’s rampaging power faced the threat of Reshiram and Cynthia’s Garchomp.

• Metagross greeted Su Hao with a resentful cling after enduring Mewtwo’s training, while Diancie comforted it.
• Mewtwo criticized Metagross’s crude use of the Destruction Gene and had it demonstrate the training results.
