The Energy Factory lay beneath Hammerlocke Stadium.
Inside the Central Castle.
Leon stood before the imposing doors and took a deep breath.
"Let's go!"
He had no desire to oppose Rose. Even now, he hoped it was all a misunderstanding.
But first, he had to find out why Pokémon were suddenly Dynamaxing and running wild outside Power Spots, then stop it at the source before the disaster spread.
Baimu, who knew the whole story, kept it to himself. Instead, he wondered how he would explain things to Shan Ren when he got back.
I went out and arrested your idol?
In the games, the whole affair had been something of a farce.
Rose held unrivaled influence in the Galar Region. Even if he coveted a Legendary Pokémon and wanted Galar to prosper for a thousand years, couldn't he have arranged for his staff to handle the fallout and explained everything to Leon, his trusted confidant?
Did he have to sneak around as though catching a Legendary Pokémon were something shameful?
In the end, the protagonist caught Eternatus anyway.
The whole plot felt oddly at odds with its age-six-and-up tone. Children's stories tended to draw a clear line between good and evil; there was no need to force in a gray area.
The anime, at least, patched in some wrongdoing for Rose—
He released the surplus Galar Particles and left the people of Galar, whom he loved so much, to fend for themselves.
Did that make the logic hold up?
No!
It made it even funnier!
Rose had connections and money to spare in the anime, yet somehow he couldn't store the Galar Particles because he hadn't built a big enough warehouse.
The overflow hadn't even come out of nowhere. The story had established long beforehand that the warehouses were full.
