Melemele Island, Pokémon School.
Although they had no classes yesterday, Ash and the others had still come to the Pokémon School to play together.
A lot had happened yesterday, too.
It could have been called the great Meltan invasion.
Ash and the others had all seen Li Wei's Melmetal, so they quickly made the connection between Meltan and Melmetal.
Pokédex Rotom sent the pictures it had taken of Meltan to Professor Oak.
Like Melmetal, Meltan was also a previously undiscovered Pokémon.
Professor Oak studied Meltan's data and pictures and finally reached a conclusion.
Meltan and Melmetal definitely shared a very important connection. Melmetal might even be Meltan's evolved form.
He simply did not know whether there was something in between,
another evolutionary stage.
Professor Oak guessed there was. After all, the difference in size between Meltan and Melmetal was enormous.
Professor Oak was also the one who named Meltan.
Professor Oak's guess was entirely correct.
It was just that the way Meltan evolved into Melmetal was rather unusual and not so easy to observe.
Just like Cosmog before, a Meltan had also slipped into Ash's backpack...
Then Ash caught Meltan.
Ash's Meltan would evolve,
but certainly not just yet.
Compared with Melmetal, Meltan were much livelier and more prone to getting into trouble.
Yesterday, a whole swarm of Meltan had nearly chewed through the Ultra Guardians' base.
The swarm had invaded the Ultra Guardians Base. If Clefable had not discovered them in time, the team would never have been able to deploy again.
Like Melmetal, Meltan ate only metal,
not any Pokémon Food.
Since the Aether Foundation had money to spare, the Meltan that had invaded the Ultra Guardians Base were taken in.
The Aether Foundation supplied their food, and the Meltan settled down in the Ultra Guardians' base.
