Poni Canyon.
The wind howled through the canyon.
The rugged yellow cliffs gave the scenery a distinctive beauty.
After nearly a year, Li Wei, Lucario, and Zeraora set foot on this land once again.
"Come out, Kommo-o!"
Li Wei had brought Kommo-o home on this trip.
"Roar-"
With a roar, Kommo-o followed close behind Li Wei, gazing intently into the depths of the canyon.
"Happy to be home?"
Li Wei patted Kommo-o's arm with a smile on his face.

After hearing Kommo-o's resounding roar,
a figure far larger than an ordinary Kommo-o slowly emerged from the depths of the canyon, followed by a group of Jangmo-o.
On a platform deep in the canyon, the powerful Totem Kommo-o stood tall, the scales covering its body gleaming in the sunlight with an even more imposing radiance.
It was like sunlight driving away the darkness.
The gleaming scales on Totem Kommo-o's body lit up the somewhat dim depths of the canyon.
Even from afar, Li Wei and Lucario could see its figure and sense its naturally oppressive presence.
After nearly a year apart, Totem Kommo-o's aura had grown even more formidable.
Totem Kommo-o's majestic eyes sized up Li Wei's Kommo-o, then turned to Li Wei, the challenger who had once earned its recognition.
By now, Lucario and Zeraora had left the Champion Tier Totem Kommo-o far behind.
But this time, it wasn't Lucario or Zeraora's turn to take center stage.
These Jangmo-o were Totem Kommo-o's newest offspring, and they did not know Li Wei's Kommo-o.
Like Pyroar, Kommo-o would drive Jangmo-o away once they grew into Hakamo-o.
But after evolving into Kommo-o, those Hakamo-o would return to the area near their birthplace.
They would not rejoin the group, however, instead quietly building nests farther away and standing guard.
That was the custom
