"Are you sure?"
Early the next morning.
Jing He, who was freshening up in the yard, had just spat out some water, white foam still clinging to the corners of his mouth, when he looked at Tapu Koko beside him in surprise.
It was truly rare for an Island Guardian to come knocking so early in the morning.
It had been nowhere to be seen when Guzzlord went berserk two days ago, nor when Celesteela ascended into the sky. Yet now it had come running over first thing in the morning?
More importantly.
Tapu Koko had brought news: it could help Ice Ninetales condense its exclusive Z-Move.
"Wuu~"
Hearing Jing He's doubts, Tapu Koko's eyes widened at once.
As an Island Guardian, would it really lie and deceive people?
Jing He rinsed his mouth again, took the towel Rotom Pokédex handed him, wiped his face, and asked suspiciously:
"What do you want in return?"
"Wuu~" Tapu Koko pointed southwest, toward Poni Island.
"Poni Island?"
Jing He froze slightly, then understood. "The Altar of the Sunne?"
Did Tapu Koko want to "trick" him into going there so Cosmog could evolve into Solgaleo?
But on second thought.
That wasn't right.
With the Island Guardians' abilities, as long as they activated the Altar of the Sunne, Cosmog would automatically appear there. There was no need to obtain his so-called consent at all.
In the Special Chapter, after the Island Guardians activated the Altar of the Sunne, Cosmog, which had still been with Skull Team, immediately appeared at the altar and completed its evolution.
Besides.
Cosmog had only just evolved in the middle of last night. Not even a full day had passed. Even if it was a Legendary Pokémon, even if it had received Lunala's "light," there was no way it could evolve
