Following that dramatic moment, golden-colored light gradually began penetrating deep into their bodies through their skin, ears, and even their fur and hair.
This unprecedented sensation made both Tornadus and Thundurus feel extremely terrified and uncomfortable. However, at this crucial moment, they finally began regaining small fragments of their rational minds.
Very soon, the bodies of Tornadus and Thundurus—along with Landorus, who still lay unconscious in the ruins—began shrinking slowly and steadily. Their eyes gradually became clearer and more focused, no longer displaying the wild, uncontrolled appearance of their Therian Forms.
Witnessing all three members of the Forces of Nature gradually approaching full consciousness and recovery, every Pokémon present released a long, collective sigh of relief within their hearts simultaneously.
If this intense battle scenario had continued in an endless stalemate, it would have spelled terrible news for Alola's delicate ecological environment and for the well-being of all Pokémon living within the region.
"Where's Elite Alman?"
Such a question suddenly emerged from among the gathered testers, immediately attracting everyone's focused attention.
Both Pokémon and Trainers began looking around left and right, searching the area carefully. Roy also employed the power of his Aura abilities to attempt locating any trace of Elite Alman's presence.
After several moments of concentrated searching, the guardian deity Tapu Koko opened his eyes once again and shook his head with a distinctly disappointed expression across his features.
"Koku..."
No luck. That person has already fled completely outside of Alola's boundaries.
A brief moment of silence descended upon those gathered in the sky above. However, the lively and cheerful atmosphere quickly resumed among the group.
"Oh well, it's perfectly fine as long as nothing terrible happened to Alola itself!"
"Don't worry too much. That kind of person will definitely receive the justice he deserves eventually."
"Please don't feel sad about this."
The sincere words of concern and comfort from the various testers reached the guardian deities' ears, which genuinely moved them deeply.
"Koku!"
Thank you all so very much!
After Solgaleo had successfully used his purifying light to bring all three members of the Forces of Nature out of their corrupted Therian Forms, he suddenly remembered that he was still dragging an absolutely massive burden behind him.
After carefully confirming that no more dangerous or threatening auras remained in the immediate vicinity, Solgaleo shifted his powerful limbs slightly. He began stepping through the void itself step by deliberate step, rushing purposefully toward the ruins of the Altar of the Sunne.
The radiant chains trailing behind him produced constant jingling and clinking sounds, mixed occasionally with the crisp noise of slight collisions occurring between the chains and the surface of the black tower itself.
Ding—Ding—
Landorus's recovery speed proved reasonably quick. When the Ground and Flying-type legendary sensed the distinctive aura belonging to a 'God' approaching his current position, he instinctively reacted. He instantly snapped out of his drowsy, semiconscious state into full awareness.
Landorus seemed to retain some fragmented remnants of his memories from after he had been forced into his Therian Form. Seeing his two fellow brothers hovering in the sky above, along with an entire group of 'victims' he had inadvertently harmed, he rubbed awkwardly against the white cloud beneath him in embarrassment.
"Yatu..."
Brothers, we really need to talk about what happened...
Tornadus and Thundurus felt equally awkward remaining up there in the sky. They quickly descended under the convenient excuse of searching for their big brother, escorting the massive black tower behind Solgaleo down to the ruins of the Altar of the Sunne.
In reality, Roy had already somewhat guessed the true thoughts and feelings of these two straightforward, simple-minded legendary Pokémon.
Roy chose not to speak about it directly. He wanted to solve the immediate problem of properly placing and securing the black tower first. After all, all three members of the Forces of Nature had regained their senses and were no longer presenting any danger. The mystery of why they had suddenly transformed into their Therian Forms could be addressed later—he wasn't in such a desperate hurry anymore.
There came a tremendous 'BOOM' that echoed across the area.
The massive sound immediately captured everyone's attention, especially since the noise had originated from within the ruins of the Altar of the Sunne.
Caroline probably already knew and understood the close relationship between Solgaleo and Roy. Although she felt slightly unconvinced about the situation, she remained sincerely happy for Roy's success and safe return.
Caroline quietly teleported directly to Roy's side using her Psychic abilities. The torn and tattered belt on her outfit fluttered dramatically with the ocean breeze, instantly attracting the curious attention of all the other testers present.
Naturally, Roy also quickly noticed Caroline's sudden approach. His eyes glanced toward her unconsciously, and his expression immediately turned serious with concern.
Ah, what a gentleman...
"Are you alright? Did you sustain any injuries?"
After receiving Roy's answer confirming he was unharmed, Caroline nodded in acknowledgment. She appeared to want to say something more—her lips parted twice as if to speak—but ultimately she didn't voice whatever thoughts were on her mind.
Roy didn't take her silence too seriously. By this point, all the Pokémon and testers had landed safely on the seaside shores of Poni Island.
It could be observed clearly with the naked eye that the coastline in this location had also risen noticeably due to the flooding. The ship that had been securely tied to Poni Island's ferry dock was still there, but now the small walking pier that people normally used had been completely submerged beneath seawater. Only the boat itself remained visible, bobbing up and down on its restraining ropes.
The island guardians all displayed expressions of visible heartache and concern. They understood that once matters here were properly concluded, they would need to rush back immediately to their respective islands to check on conditions and take care of the tribal communities living there.
The Totem Pokémon from the various islands, whose hearts remained deeply attached to their home territories and tribes, all departed to deal with the resulting mess and damage after briefly greeting the guardian deities in farewell.
Time waits for no one, after all.
This represented an iron law of existence.
Now on Poni Island, only the testers and the four guardian deities remained. The reason the guardian deities chose to stay behind was their strong desire to communicate directly with the 'god' before them. For these ancient protectors, this represented a tremendous honor!
After learning about the general situation surrounding the Forces of Nature and their unfortunate circumstances, Solgaleo proposed staying within Alola's spiritual realm for an extended period. He could spend time recovering his body—though honestly, most of his supposed injuries had actually been inflicted by himself during the earlier conflict—while simultaneously helping Alola's spiritual realm regain its natural vitality and balance.
Even though the Forces of Nature hadn't acted with malicious intent, seeing firsthand that the current devastated state of Alola's spiritual realm had been caused primarily by their three members working together, they couldn't help but feel overwhelming guilt.
Just when the trio didn't know what they could possibly do to make amends, Solgaleo's generous proposal arrived like blessed rain after a terrible drought. They nodded repeatedly and enthusiastically, expressing their absolute determination to work diligently alongside their elder brother!
Solgaleo had suddenly acquired three temporary younger brothers under his guidance, which made him swell considerably with pride.
He held his magnificent head high, displaying an unmistakably smug and self-satisfied expression.
Therefore, when Roy and the others witnessed Solgaleo strutting confidently toward them, this is exactly what they observed.
"He's so incredibly handsome! Is this truly what a divine-tier Pokémon looks like?"
The eyes of the assembled Trainers couldn't help but display obvious envy and admiration. During this relatively short period of time, Roy had already given them a rough explanation of everything that had transpired after he entered the Ultra Wormhole.
Of course, his account also included details about the tall tower now standing prominently in the ruins of the Altar of the Sunne, and the fact that sealed within by an ancient prison was the legendary being known as Great God Lucas—Necrozma himself.
The four guardian deities also displayed expressions of profound reverence and respect.
Their eyes practically sparkled with admiration.
As expected of our blessed 'god'! Even his walking posture is absolutely beautiful!
Roy, on the other hand, looked at Solgaleo's arrogant strutting with visible distaste and disgust. Sure enough, this was still fundamentally that same Little Nebula he'd known before.
Who would have expected that besides his obsessions with eating and drinking, this particular legendary Pokémon was also a complete face-saving show-off who loved attention.
Roy made disapproving "tsk tsk" sounds internally within his mind. However, this didn't stop Solgaleo from deliberately scattering some sparkling, shimmering light particles across the sky purely for dramatic effect before his paws finally touched down on the solid ground of Poni Island.
"La~"
Solgaleo initially wanted to enthusiastically shake his tail at Roy in greeting. However, he immediately remembered that numerous people were currently watching his every move. He stopped the childish gesture abruptly and instead walked slowly and majestically to Roy's side with measured, dignified steps.
