What kind of fossil is that?

Kanto Region. Vermillion City. Cerise Laboratory. Day.

Right now, Chloe's Yamper was asleep on the couch, waiting for his trainer to return home. And from the footsteps Yamper heard nearby outside, the Puppy Pokemon hopped off the couch, rushing over. "Yamper! Yamper!"

"I'm back!" Chloe said, opening the door.

"Yamper!"

"I'm back Yamper. Alright." Chloe said to the Puppy Pokemon before taking out a Poke Ball. Just yesterday, she had actually received a new Pokemon of her own. "Come out, Eevee."

"Eevee!" Eevee was that new Pokemon. Nowadays it seems that everyone has an Eevee here and there. But this Eevee was a fairly special one. In a sense that she tends to do a lot of copying and hasn't chosen her evolution path yet.

"Yamper!" And immediately, Yamper tried to jump on Eevee's back but the Evolution Pokemon moved to the side, causing the Puppy Pokemon to fall on his side with his tongue sticking out. "Yam!"

"Eevee!"

"Thanks for waiting." Chloe kneeled while patting Eevee on the head. "Have you been a good boy, Yamper?"

"Yam! Yamper!" Yamper laid on his back, allowing Chloe to rub his belly. And from the face he was making, he enjoyed it a lot. Eevee watched as she began thinking about how she could receive belly rubs as well. It seemed like a wonderful feeling.

"Eevee...Vee-Vee!" Eevee then laid on her back, wanting the belly rubs herself. But she then laid on her belly, failing to get into the proper position for the belly rub as Chloe chuckled.

"Since summer's here, I can stay behind as many times as I want with you two."

"Chloe. Welcome back." Welcoming his own daughter home was Professor Cerise, opening the door to his lab.

"Good to be back dad."

"Could you come here for a moment?" Cerise asked his daughter by giving a hand motion. Seems that there was something he wanted to show her.


Inside the lab of the other room.

Ash and Goh were there as they seemed to be looking at something up ahead. Chloe entered the room as Twilight could also be seen here. She did occasionally assist Cerise labs from time to time despite being her own Professor at Ponyville.

"Hey, Chloe," Goh said.

"Nice timing." Ash also spoke.

"What's going on?" Chloe asked as she looked ahead. On the screen, the face of a man could be seen. Not just any man though.

This man in particular was known as the Curator. A member and the president of the Pewter Museum of Science. He's actually someone who's met Ash, Goh and Chloe before. He met them while they were searching the Museum's excavation site attraction for fossils to restore.

"Hey! Have you been finding fossils enchanting?"" The Curator spoke in his usual melodic voice while giving a thumbs up with stars in his eyes.

"The president of the Pewter Museum of Science?" said Chloe.

"Apparently, he has a request for you," Cerise uttered.

"About investing fossils! Goh exclaimed.

"And it's in the Wild Area too!" Ash was getting pumped.

"I already have my fossil machine back at my lab ready!" Twilight grinned.

"Oh, over in Galar?" Chloe looked at Ash.

"Indeed! Indeeding!" The Curator chimed in. "You can find rare fossils in Galar, according to a rumour I heard. I'd like you to go and investigate what these rare fossils are like!"

"Oh yeah! I'll totally do it!" Ash bellowed.

"Pikachu!"

"That's a new Pokemon possibly staring me in the face so yeah!" Goh leaned forward. "I can meet lots of new Pokemon in the Wild Area! Right, Cinderace?"

"Cinder!"

"What about you, Chloe?" Cerise looked at Chloe.

"Well...Summer's just come up and I don't have school now so..." Chloe bit her lip before looking at Eevee.

"Eevee-vee-vee!" Eevee most definitely wanted to go. And the beaming look she had said it fully.

"You want to go, Eevee?"

"Vee!"

"Well...Okay. Dad, I've decided I'll go too." Chloe turned to face her father.

"Good stuff." Cerise gave a grin and a thumbs up. It was official. They were off to Galar.


Meanwhile, on a plane.

But they brought some company while flying on a plane. Obviously, Fluttershy was always up for seeing brand new Pokemon, much like Ash. And the rest of Twilight's friends do tend to enjoy going on Pokemon journeys either way. Ash's adventurous spirit had influenced practically all of them at this point. It would explain why some of them are choosing to go on their own journeys recently.

"What kind of Fossil Pokemon are we gonna find there, I wonder?" Applejack spoke.

"All of them are Rock-Type Pokemon, aren't they?" Spike said. "So it's gonna be one type and then Rock-Type."

"I've already told Maud about this! She's gonna be so excited when we discover a new Fossil Pokemon!" Pinkie Pie squeed with excitement. "What do you think it's going to be this time?"

"Well..." Twilight began listing the current Fossil Pokemon they have all seen so far. "Aerodactyl, Bastiodon, Rampardos Aurorus and Tyrantrum are dinosaur-based. Cradily is similar to a Crinoid. Armaldo seems to resemble an Anomalocaris arthropod from long ago..."

"Ano-what now?" Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Spike and Starlight squinted their eyes.

"Archeops and Carracosta are earlier variants of birds and turtles. Omastar resembles an ammonites star and Kabutops is a limulid or horseshoe crab for simplicity. That's all of them." Starlight finished things off for Twilight.

"So, they either be other dinosaurs or underwater creatures," Twilight said.

"What's a dinosaur?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Over at the human world with Sunset, I figured out what they were. They're pretty neat to look at honestly." Twilight smiled with her eyes closed.

"You two really looked into them a lot, didn't you...?" Chloe chuckled a bit.

"Eevee"

"Whatever they are, I can't wait to see them!" Fluttershy pressed her face on the glass along with Ash and Pikachu. Eevee did the same, always imitating everything she sees.

"Vee!"

"Ah, the sun's extra bright, Eevee. Maybe it's not a good idea to-" Chloe held Eevee, ready to pull her away from the window so the sun doesn't blind her. Right now, all there was were clouds being coloured by the sun's orange glow. Very soon they would move.

However, once they did move, Chloe and Eevee were given the sight of the beautiful sun of Galar. It did make their eyes move a bit but the sight was wonderful either way. With their eyes open, they were gaining one of the first major experiences of having an adventure.


Galar Region. Wild Area.

They were finally here. The Wild Area. The extensive area of the Galar Region. And it truly was extensive. The size of this place eclipsed most mountain ranges and fields from how huge it was. Ash and the others immediately started running and flying in this wide and expansive area. They even allowed most of their Pokemon to come out and move across the land.

"This place is still incredible to look at every time! Man, it's huge!" Ash exclaimed.

"Pika-Pika!"

"Look at all the Pokemon! Eeee!" Fluttershy squeaked as the number of Pokemon in this Wild Area were even bigger than the Pokemon House overall.

"Any Dragon-Types nearby?!" Spike moved his head around, looking at the Pokemon available here. He did see a Goomy but he already had a Goodra. But off in the distance, he had spotted a Flygon flying by. "Oho!" Immediately, he rushed over to try and see if he could catch the Flygon.

Rainbow Dash however was looking forward to catching some new Pokemon along with Goh. They saw an Electrike, Budew, Vulpix, Natu, Dwebble and other Pokemon of all other varieties.

"Yeesh, that's a lot to choose from! I'm heading in any way!" Rainbow Dash zoomed off.

"Wait! Rainbow Dash!" Twilight cried out but it was too late. Everyone else had something they wanted to do in the Wild Area and Twilight couldn't do anything to stop it, even though she wanted everyone to be close. But it couldn't be helped as she shrugged. "Oh well."

"You!" Rainbow Dash descended, looking down at a Pancham.

"Pan?"

"I wouldn't mind having a second Fighting-Type on my team. Plus I really want a Dark-Type too! Whaddya say? Battle?" Rainbow Dash held out a Poke Ball.

"Pancham!" Pancham ended up shaking its head, refusing Rainbow Dash's offer. Not because it didn't want to battle, but because it was a bit tired as it was seen lying on its back choosing to doze off.

"Ah...Maybe another time then." Rainbow Dash sighed as she flew off elsewhere.

"I know you guys bug me when you block the train tracks but you're just so fluffy to hold!" Pinkie Pie squeed as she had her hooves on a flock of Wooloo, holding them together while digging her face in their soft wool.

"Mew!" Mew tried to do the same by turning himself into a Wooloo, landing on top of Pinkie Pie. Pinkie was now buried within nothing but softness. From the Wooloo and her own Pokemon.

"Wool!" Just then, after being pulled in by the softness, the flock of Wooloo started rolling down the hill for fun, bringing Pinkie Pie along with them.

"Hm?" Pinkie then noticed the sudden movements as she couldn't exactly see anything considering where her face was. But as the Wooloo rolled down the hill with Mew following after, Pinkie Pie could feel the adrenaline either way and figure out what the Wooloo were doing. "Woohooo!"

"Galar's got some neat looking Pokemon, don't they? And who are you?" Twilight kneeled, looking at a Dottler that stood before her. She took out the Pokedex to read the data of this new Pokemon.

"Dottler. The Radome Pokemon. It barely moves, but it’s still alive. Hiding in its shell without food or water seems to have awakened its psychic powers. As it grows inside its shell, it uses its psychic abilities to monitor the outside world and prepare for evolution."

"Dott. Dottler." The Radome Pokemon then suddenly hid inside of its shell, hiding its face from Twilight, scared of the alicorn being up close.

"Oh, no, no, sorry!" Twilight gasped, waving her hoof. "I didn't mean to scare you!"

"Oh hey. I heard about this Pokemon. Isn't that the one that evolves into a beetle, ufo and ladybug?" Rainbow Dash flew over.

"Ladybug?!" Twilight shot up with her wings rising out of fear and shock as she backed away from Dottler.

"Gahaaha!" Rainbow Dash laughed after that little tease with Twilight scrunching her face afterwards.

"Aw!" Fluttershy zoomed over. "No need to be so shy, little guy." By getting closer to Dottler, the Radome Pokemon could feel the positivity of Fluttershy exuding his way. Dottler poked his head out, looking at Fluttershy's face as he didn't feel so shy anymore.

"Scorbun!" But, to be a bit of a playful scamp, Scorbunny appeared behind Fluttershy, raising his arms and flailing his ears about at Dottler.

"Dott!" Once more, Dottler hid in his shell.

"Scor-Scor-Scor!" Scorbunny giggled as Fluttershy looked at him with a not so pleasant face.

"Scorbunny..." Fluttershy spoke, making the Rabbit Pokemon shudder and gulp as he could feel the low tone coming from her mouth.

"S-Scorbun..."

"Eevee!" Eevee was playing around with Pikachu in the open field as she also ended up going down the hill like the Wooloo. But she just ran instead of just rolling.

"Pika-Pika!"

"Espeon!" Espeon yelled at Eevee, telling her to be careful when going down such a steep hill. Since she was an Eevee before, she knew how fragile the Eevee body can be.

"Vee-Vee!" Eevee giggled, not listening to Espeon as Pinkie and the Wooloo were rolling next to her. They were all feeling the rush. Unfortunately, that would come to an end as they crashed into the nearest Pokemon in front of them. "Vee!"

"Wooloo!"

And that Pokemon was a Boldore.

"Boldore."

"Ow! Hey why did we stop?" Pinkie Pie looked up, finally freeing herself from the softness. As she looked over she spotted the Boldore in front of her as Chloe ran down the hill. After crashing into Boldore, Eevee was knocked back, feeling a slight sting on her head.

"Ah! Eevee!" Chloe ran down to her Pokemon.

Bad news for them. Boldore is a Pokemon that can be agitated if the wrong scenario occurs. And it will attack without ever changing the direction it's facing. Eevee shuddered as she was a bit paralyzed after looking at the size of Boldore compared to her. The Evolution Pokemon then backed away as Boldore stomped one of its legs on the ground.

"Boldre!" When stomping its legs, it had summoned Stone Edge as blue crystals erupted from the ground, heading for Eevee, the Wooloo and Pinkie Pie.

"Vee?!" Eevee quickly jumped into Chloe's arms.

"Cinderace! Blaze Kick!" Goh immediately commanded after seeing the Stone Edge emerge.

"Cinder!" Cinderace jumped off the hill, lighting its feet with a blazing aura. The Striker Pokemon then kicked the crystals of Stone Edge, shattering them.

"Dore!" Boldore then used Harden, covering its body in a blue aura with ripples pulsating out of its body.

"Harden, huh? Okay! Cinderace, Quick Attack!"

"Cinderace!" Cinderace then bolted off the ground at lightning speeds leaving afterimages while charging at the Ore Pokemon.

Before Boldore could fully finish using Harden, the Striker Pokemon tackled Boldere at full-force with its shoulder and arm, sending the Rock-Type back as it slid on the ground.

"Bold!"

"Ace!"

"Okay! Poke Ball, go!" Goh threw his Poke Ball towards Boldore while it was flying through the air. One hit and the Poke Ball pulled the Ore Pokemon in, landing on the ground. Now for the shaking to begin.

1...2...3...Gotcha! Boldore was caught!

"Nice-nice!" Goh grinned, seeing that Boldore's data was now added to the Pokedex. Cinderace did a backflip, giving Goh a high-five with its foot.

"Cinder!"

"Oh...Thanks for the save, Goh," said Chloe.

"No problem. Now let's go and find those fossils!" Goh raised his arms as he rushed off. After seeing Goh bolt away along with Chloe, Ash and the others had to follow if they wanted to find the fossils. They can frolic around later in this field.

"Cinder!"

"Hm?" Spike noticed this as he was about to approach Flygon. "Oh! Wait for me, you guys!"


Dusty Bowl. North of the Wild Area.

Here, there were already many workers on the case of digging up fossils while wearing protective gear. Tables and tents were set up for camp as some of them were mining at the rocks with pickaxes.

Everyone here was looking for a fossil. Even if it was a pre-existing fossil that had already been discovered or even something new, they would search for them in every nook and cranny. Who knows what Pokemon have been stuck in the past centuries ago?

"Oh, this is the place for sure!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Well, then." Rarity adjusted her mane. "We know what we need to do. Don't worry. Spike and I are fairly experienced when it comes to digging and anything underground, aren't we Spike?"

"Oh yeah. But uh...Not sure I can track down fossils like gemstones." Spike chuckled.

"Let's get to work!" Goh already got out his mining and digging gear from his bag.

"I learned a lot back home at the Rock Farm! This'll be done in no time!" Pinkie Pie stretched her hooves as almost everyone was prepared to get their hands, hooves, claws and paws dirty for some fossils. They all ran forward, heading the first rocks that they saw.

But as they were all looking for fossils by heading for the rocks, once again, Chloe and her Eevee came across something that could harm them. And this time, it wasn't their voice as a voice rang out.

"Mudsdale! Double Kick!" The voice of a male shouted.

"Muds!" And right behind a giant rock, giant hooves smashed the material, sending large chunks flying.

"Huh?" Ash turned around, being the first to react to this impact as he witnessed the rocks flying by. And they were heading straight for Chloe and Eevee.

"Ah! Eevee!" Chloe gasped as she held Eevee tight while the rock was approaching.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

"Chu...Pika!" Luckily, Pikachu was there to stop the rock as he hardened his tail, lunging forward and slashing the rock in half. Chloe and Eevee had been saved yet again.

"Are you two okay?" Ash ran over.

"We're fine. Thanks, Ash...The second time this has happened today." Chloe sighed.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. My bad right there." Just then, the one who had commanded his Mudsdale to use Double Kick had shown himself to everyone. A man wearing what seemed to be a lab coat with dirt on his glasses, showing that he's been working here for quite a while.

"Huh? Are you being rough as ever, Bray Zenn? Nothing's changed I see." And next to him was a female who was also wearing a lab coat but had more dirt on her. Mostly on her face.

"You were running late while being careless back at home though. Could've been here earlier to warn me, Cara Liss." Bray Zenn spoke to the other Fossil Searcher by the name of Cara Liss. "Just 5 minutes late, remember?"

"Well...I forgot to set my alarm clock okay?" Car Liss responded.

"You're so careless..." Bray Zenn sighed before turning to Ash and the others. "You all. Are you here for the fossil search as well? I can tell by those items you have?"

"Oh, we sure are." Starlight spoke as she already had her hooves dirty, starting earlier than others.

"Glad to have you along. My name's Bray Zenn." He introduced himself.

"And my name's Cara Liss." So did Cara Liss.

"We came here because we heard that there are rare fossils here in Galar with potentially new never-before-seen Pokemon," Spike explained.

"So, are there?" Applejack leaned forward.

"There sure are. You should get a look at this. Come with us." Bray Zenn said as he and Cara Liss led the Pokemon Trainers to the site where these rare fossils laid.

They weren't too far from here. Just a few walks away and near a lake in the Wild Area. Once they got there, they were met with these fossils that were actually plastered on the wall.

One was of some sort of fish and the other was seemingly another dinosaur. It still kept the trend of Fossil Pokemon being related to fish or dinosaurs. But there was something off about them.

"Hm..." Ash, Starlight and Rainbow Dash squinted their eyes while looking at the skeleton. "That's probably a hand? Or maybe a foot?"

"This one's a tail," Chloe observed with Fluttershy by her side.

"Ain't they great?" Bray Zenn replied.

"It's not complete yet, is it?" Chloe twirled her hair.

"Right. But dig here and there and we'll probably find the whole thing eventually." Bray Zenn held up a pickaxe. "Let's get this investigation started."

"And once that's done, we'll revive them." Cara Liss went into her bag to try and retrieve her pickaxe. "Ah! I forgot my pickaxe!"

"Man you're careless...here take mine." Bray Zenn tossed the pickaxe down near Cara Liss. After that, everyone got to work, using whatever way they could on digging. Some just used the regular pickaxe and other gear while some used their bare hooves and skills they learned back home.


Most of the fossils had been gathered up from coordination. Since they were all digging together, the process was faster and less time-consuming. But they did have some dust on them now.

Pinkie Pie emerged from the ground with her whole face covered in dust along with her mane. Spinda and Mew too. Rarity kept herself clean as all she needed was her magic for this. Eevee dusted away some of the dirt of the fossil that Chloe had found. But she dusted it a bit too much, causing the dust to cover her and Chloe. But they did end up finding a foot within the fossil.

Afterwards, with the fossils they were able to gather, they all placed them in trays with four colourful boxes on the side.

"Okay. How do all of these fit together?" Ash wondered as now they had to piece the right fossils together.

"Seems like there are two Pokemon in total," Starlight said. "One for the Fish-looking one and the other for the one that looks like a dinosaur."

"I'm not even sure which way they face," Goh asked.

"It'll be like a puzzle so it's gonna be extra fun." Pinkie Pie rubbed her dusty hooves together.

"That's the mysterious thing about Galar's Fossils. They're not fully together like other region fossils." Cara Liss raised her finger with a confident smile. "I think the right answer to this might just be some odd match-up that completely defies all prior ideas! Here's my prediction."

She then took out her tablet, showing everyone what she believes the combination of fossils properly looks like in four images. On the tablet screen, she moved the images around, starting with the fish head. Once she did that, the fish had gone towards what seemed to be the spine, merging the two images to create a figure.

"This and this one make one Pokemon. This area used to be a seabed. So it would've needed limbs that can move through the water easily." Cara explained, showing them the images. This whole place used to have a different appearance back in the past but now it's been altered after centuries had come by. "And since it swam deep in the ocean, this Pokemon needed a physiology that could eat prey above it."

She then further arranged the Pokemon by moving and flipping the image, showing a prediction of what the final and full form could look like. And it seemed to be a fish-plesiosaur hybrid fossil coloured blue and white.

"I call it Arctovish!"

"Ooooh!" Ash, Fluttershy, Goh and Pinkie Pie gawked at the image of this Pokemon called Arctovish. Twilight squinted her eyes, noticing something a bit off about it.

"Uh..." Twilight uttered while trying to really examine this Pokemon.

"I was just thinking..." Bray slid over with his own tablet as heads were turned to his attention. "I'd match up this one and this one." He also showed them his own images and prediction, merging images to form a full-body skeleton. "My hypothesis is once these were plains and this area had nothing but short shrubs. So bird Pokemon would need to run more than they fly, ending up with a stronger lower body."

Afterwards, the skeleton image changed, revealing a different kind of Pokemon result to everyone's eyes. This yellow-coloured Pokemon had a long neck that connected to a raptor-like head. The lower body of it seemed bigger than the rest of its upper body as Twilight's suspicions grew.

And every soon, everyone else were starting to see the oddities about these Pokemon. As if there wasn't something right about the way they appeared.

"I call it Dracozolt!"

"Oooh!" But Ash and Fluttershy were all for it.

"Don't it look like it could be right or easily just as wrong?" Applejack squinted her eyes.

"You weren't kidding when you said it was mysterious..." Chloe gawked.

"We've found all the fossils we need. Why don't we restore them right away?" Cara said while placing cases that fit perfectly on the boxes. So did Bray Zenn. They were about to make this a reality and see their prediction come true.

Maybe.

"Hm...This one is shutting properly." While Cara Liss perfectly placed the cases on the boxes, Bray Zenn wasn't doing it as well as he had little focus. At least the last and fourth box.

"Hey be more careful with that," Cara warned as Bray beat on the box to try and fit it in properly. After beating on it, it eventually did work and fit in.

"Okay, it's shut." He grinned.

"You're so brazen with things..." Cara sighed.

"My Dracozolt is this one and this one." Bray looked over at the four boxes with his own fossil skeletons inside. A blue and red box.

"Huh? Wasn't that my Arctozolt? I'm sure it was blue?" Cara grumbled while pointing at the blue box that Bray had his hand on.

"No, mine was blue. Yours is light blue."

"Huh? Light blue? I thought it was the blue one."

"Ah, well that's pretty much the same thing!" Bray exclaimed. "Let's just hurry and get the machine." After they sorted everything out, Cara Liss brought out the machine they would use to revive these ancient Pokemon.

"Ta-dah This the Fossil Restoration Device!" Cara bellowed, revealing the device. And of course, it had a lot of dust and dirt on it. "With this, we can restore the fossil pieces to their original form without fail. Amazing right? The principle is the same as Poke Balls." She was ready to explain it all.

"Don't bother with the explanation. Nobody gets it anyway." Bray walked by with his own dusty restoration device, making Cara pout.

"The withdraw button...on!" Cara pressed a blue button on the machine, causing it to activate. Out of the two speaker-shaped parts, some antennae emerged with red spheres on top. Out of those red spheres, a pink light started to glow. Out of that pink light, the spheres shot out a ray that went straight for the two boxes.

Once they struck the boxes, the two pink lights then pulled them in. And they did in fact work like Poke Balls in the retrieval sense. The same went for Bray as he did the same for his own boxes.

"Alright," said Bray.

"Now I just press the emerge button and..." Cara was about to press another button.

"No, the restore button." But Bray stopped her before she could press the wrong one.

"Oh, whoops!" Cara gasped, pulling her finger away from the wrong button.

"You're so careless..." Bray sighed as Cara press a light blue button to activate the restore function.

"Now the fossil pieces will be converted to light particles and reconstructed," Cara explained, ready to go into full detail.

"Or more simply put, like a puzzle piece." But Bray kept it short and simple.

"Then they'll appear fully restored!" Cara yelled with enthusiasm and her fists pumped.

"So uh...how long is that gonna take?" Ash asked.

"Two hours. No, maybe four hours." Bray replied.

"What should we do while we wait?" Goh wondered.

"Hm...I could still grab that Flygon if I hurry! Be right back!" Spike dashed off.

"I'm feeling hungry right about now." Pinkie licked her lips.

"I'm in on that!" Ash exclaimed as he could go for some food along with everyone else.

"Then...here at the Wild Area, there's only one thing to make." Bray crossed his arms as he nodded.

"It's curry!" Cara exclaimed while clapping her hands together. "Let's eat some curry together, why don't we?!" And everyone agreed on some delicious food as time goes by.


Meanwhile, out in East Lake Axewell of the Wild Area.

Spike had come across the Flygon he saw before, trying to catch the Mystic Pokemon. Flygon was eating from some of the berries in three as a Cherubi jumped out of it, hopping on the Ground-Dragon-Type's head. It took him at least three hours to find Flygon again but he did.

"Cheru."

"Flygon." Flygon just carried on eating the berries in the tree as Spike crept up from behind. But after appearing behind the Mystic Pokemon, the baby dragon cleared his throat, ready to grab his attention.

"Hey, uh...Flygon?" Spike called out Flygon, causing it to turn its head around.

"Fly?"

"Eh?" Spike pointed at the Poke Ball with a grin. "Whaddya say? I battle you for a chance to catch you?"

"Flygon!" The Mystic Pokemon suddenly roared, causing a wind pressure that blew Spike back a tad bit along with Axew.

"That's a yes, I guess!" Spike nodded as he held out a Poke Ball. "Alright, Goodra! Let's see what you can do now that you're back and stronger than ever. Come out!" He hurled the ball, sending the Dragon Pokemon out.

"Goodra!"

"Flygon!" Flygon certainly took a Pokemon Battle request as it went first. And it started by using the move Boomburst of all things. By opening its mouth, the Mystic Pokemon unleashed a melodic and yet destructive sound that boomed across the area. This explosive sound raged forward as it went for Goodra in the form of a white soundwave.

"Ow!" Spike twitched after that sound. "Goodra, let's put that amazing special defence of yours to good use! Block it and then use Surf!"

"Goo!" The Dragon Pokemon put his arms up in a blocking position, allowing the wide burst of sound to come his way. It was impossible to avoid considering its size and range. Goodra took the full force of Boomburst as his gooey body felt it. He moved back a bit as nearby Pokemon shuddered from this explosive sound. Parts of the ground even shattered.

After that, Goodra pulls back his hand, forming an orb of water in front of him. He then thrust his hand downwards on the ground, forming a big on land. Goodra then started surfing on the wave, slamming it on the Mystic Pokemon and the tree it was feeding on.

"F-Fly!" Flygon was being carried by this big wave. It was taking continuous water damage from Surf while moving across the Rolling Fields.

"Yes! Now use Power Whip!"

"Goo....!" Goodra's horns then emanated a green light as they extended. He then whipped them around, hitting the Mystic Pokemon and sending it flying into the air.

"Fly! Flygon!" After being hurled through the air, Flygon recovered before returning the favour to Goodra. The Ground-Dragon-Type then used a move that required its own scales. A move known as Scale Shot. The Mystic Pokemon suddenly shot its own scales at Goodra in the form of green energy considering that was Flygon's colour.

"It's shooting its scales?!" Spike gasped as Goodra had been pelted by the scales, taking super-effective damage from them. And more kept coming.

"Goo!"

"Knock them back with Breaking Swipe!"

"Dra!" After being pelted by some of the scales, Goodra lit his tail up, turning around and swinging his draconic-clad tail, hitting the scales back at Flygon.

"Fly!" But this time, Flygon dodged it by zooming towards Goodra as well, manoeuvring through the sky. The Mystic Pokemon then opened its mouth, boosting at a quicker pace as it suddenly bit onto Goodra's tail.

"Goo?!"

"Flygon!" After doing so, Flygon used the move, Giga Drain, draining the nutrients and energy from Goodra's body harshly as green energy could be seen emerging.

"D-Dra?!"

"Shake it off with Breaking Swipe!"

"G-Goodra!" Goodra winced as he continued to use Breaking Swipe, swinging his tail wildly as he also slammed it up and down, causing Flygon to hit the ground since its teeth were still clinging on.

"Gon!" Flygon cried out.

"Goo!" Goodra then spun around while using Breaking Swipe, moving in one position only. Flygon was already feeling sick at the moment from all of this spinning so it had no choice but to let go. But as it removed its teeth, Goodra smirked, causing Flygon to be flung off into the distance.

"Fly!"

"Okay! Now, let's use Fire Punch!"

"Goodra!" Goodra lit his arms up with flames before jumping into the air, heading for the Mystic Pokemon. Flygon narrowed his eyes, unleashing Boomburst the moment Goodra came close. An explosive soundwave erupted, rocketing the Dragon Pokemon back to the ground with a crash landing. "G-Goo!"

"Ah! Goodra!" Spike gasped.

"G-Goo...!" Goodra sat up from the rubble, growling at Flygon as the Mystic Pokemon was about to attack with another Scale Shot. It sent ten of its scales this time.

"Use Surf on those scales!"

"Dra!" Goodra got back up, summoning the orb of water again. Instead of slamming it on the ground to create a big wave, the Dragon Pokemon put the orb in front of him. The scales hit the orb as they were pulled in by the attack. Afterwards, Goodra unleashed Surf from the orb, sending a massive torrent of water upwards.

"Fly?! Flygon gasped as it covered its eyes. The giant torrent had crashed into the Mystic Pokemon, showering it with a big wave of water. Flygon lost its balance in the air, almost falling to the ground.

"Now's my chance! Go, Poke Ball!" Spike held out a Poke Ball, throwing it. The ball hit Flygon's tail, immediately pulling the Ground-Dragon-Type inside. And as the Pokke Ball landing, the shaking could begin.

1...2...Not quite.

Flygon broke free, roaring at Spike and Flygon was it wasn't going to be so easily caught. Which was a perfect challenge for Spike as Flygon still looked active and healthy. Probably from the Giga Drain.

"This might take a while..."


Back at the Dusty Bowl.

At the same time, while Spike was out battling against a fairly powerful Flygon, the cooking had come to an end with Bray doing most of the cooking.

"And it's done! Special whipped cream curry!" Bray Zenn announced as the curry had been made. It was...something. It had a whipped cream tower on top and some stew and rice on the side below it.

"Uh..." Rarity's eyes twitched as everyone was a bit lost on what they were looking at.

"W-What is this?" Ash stuttered.

"Nice, ain't it? The whipped cream is the secret ingredient!" Bray grinned.

"It's hardly a secret..." Chloe lowered her eyes.

"So brazen..." Everyone said while looking at Bray.

"W-Well why don't we try it anyway?" Cara suggested as plates with smaller whipped cream on them were sent out for everyone.

"First bite!" Pinkie Pie took the honour of trying the food first. She chewed into the curry with her bare mouth, seeing what the taste was like as everyone held their breath in. "Mmm!" Pinkie's eyes shot up along with her ears and mane. "That's good!"

"It is?" Everyone said as they stared at their plates. Altogether, they took a spoonful of the curry, eating it in unison. Once they did, they all tasted what Pinki Pie tasted. "Oh yeah! That's good!"

"See? Those are homemade skills showing. Pretty good isn't it?" Bray said while chewing on the curry.

"It's not bad." A mouthful Cara replied.

They truly did enjoy that curry despite its less than pleasing appearance. All the plates were empty and everyone's stomach was satisfied. Some even had extra servings. And perfect timing too. The machine made out a ding as the restoration process was done.

"Oh, it's done!" Cara shot up.

"The fossil restoration is complete!" Bray placed his cup down on the table.

"Ooh! Let's see! Let's see!" Fluttershy was excited to see these Fossil Pokemon. They all rushed over to the machine, cleaning themselves up as they were ready to witness the arrival of Pokemon that have yet to be brought back into the world.

"Okay, out they come," said Cara Liss.

"Don't press the wrong thing. It's the emerge button, remember?" Bray Zenn warned.

"Right, right," Cara responded as she and Bray pressed the merge button, allowing the machines to shoot out a blue light this time. And once those blue lights hit the ground, two figures started emerging from within.

Everyone had visible smiles on their faces, eager to see these Pokemon for themselves. They'll see new life being brought to this world. However, when the lights were fading and the figures were showing themselves, something seemed...off as Bray and Cara had menacing grins on their own faces.

After that, the first Pokemon appeared. And it looked nothing like the image that Cara Liss showed as it had cried out its name.

"Draco! Dracovish!"

And another one came out, not looking like what Bray Zenn showed everyone as it also cried out what was assumedly its name.

"Arctozolt."

"Whoa! They're really restored!" Ash gawked with stars in his eyes.

"Aww! They're so cuuute!" And so did Fluttershy as she gushed over the appearance of Dracovish and Arctozolt. From their cries and how Arctozolt had a runny nose like a Cubchoo.

However, while Ash and Fluttershy were admiring these newly-discovered Fossil Pokemon, Twilight and everyone had different reactions to this. And their reactions consisted of faces of horror, disgust, confusion and just being dumbfounded.

"Something is not right here...W-What are those things...?" Starlight whispered.

"They don't look like the Pokemon from the images...and those already looked kinda off..." Applejack whispered back as everyone else was speaking silently.

"Can that one even breathe properly?" Rarity grit her teeth while looking at Dracovish.

"That one's got a pretty bad cold...A-Are those the right bodies?" Rainbow Dash grimaced at Arctozolt.

"I don't think it's meant to be in that..." Twilight shook her head.

"Is this legal?" Pinkie Pie scrunched her face.

"Uh...Don't they look a bit different from the predictions?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah." Goh nodded.

"And that's the mysterious thing about Galar's Fossils!" Bray moved his hand over to Arctozolt.

"It is?" Everyone said except for Ash and Fluttershy as they were too busy admiring the two fossils.

"It doesn't quite match my hypothesis but look what potential they had!" Bray bellowed. "I call it Arctozolt! It lived in the ancient seas and must have chilled and stored its prey with its icy body!

"Arcto..."

"That's one switch-up of a hypothesis, isn't it..." Rainbow Dash squinted her eyes.

"Draco! Draco!" As for the other fossil that looked like it couldn't properly breathe, Ash and Fluttershy went up to it.

"What's this?" Ash, Fluttershy and their Pokemon slid over to Dracovish and Cara.

"Well, those are Galar Fossils. Aren't they something? If I had to name it..." Cara thought of a name/ "Right! Dracovish!"

"Draco!"

"With its powerful legs and jaws, it made it the apex predator of its time. Unrivalled on land! But it overhunted its prey and went into extinction." Cara gave her hypothesis. "Yeah! That's got to be what happened!"

"Really? Nice to meet you, Dracovish!" Ash walked up to the Fossil Pokemon with open arms.

"Draco...!" But suddenly, as Dracovish opened its mouth wide, it tried to bite on Ash's head, causing Ash to back up.

"Whoah!" Ash gasped. He then moved away slowly as Dracovish walked towards him, Fluttershy, Scorbunny, Chikorita and Audino. They each realized that they were about to be chased down by this fossil. And their realization was right as they immediately bolted away with Dracovish chasing them

"Draco!"

"Why?!" Ash cried out whilst he, Fluttershy and Pikachu were jetting for it, running across the area with Dracovish chasing them down with an open mouth.

"Looks like it likes him." Bray gave a smile without worry.

"A-Are you sure about that?" Goh said.

"Uh...i-It's not stopping." Pinkie stuttered.

"Dracovish!" Dracovish was determined to chomp on Ash and the others as it wouldn't stop running.

"Pikachu! Electroweb!"

"Pika-Pika-Pika!" Quickly lunging into the air, Pikachu summoned a ball of electricity, throwing it before it turned into a web that landed on Dracovish's head.

"Draco!" But, Dracovish ended up biting through the web as if it was nothing, continuing to charge forward. The Fossil Pokemon then used Water Gun, firing a rapid blast of water at Pikachu.

"Dodge it!" Ash cried out as he, Fluttershy and their Pokemon swayed to the side, avoiding the blast of water. But as they avoided it, it ended up hitting Arctozolt in the face instead.

"Zolt?" Arctozolt's head moved back before moving forward as it was immediately aggravated and provoked. In response, it had used Icy Wind, shooting a breeze of wind on the ground, gifting it a flash-freeze.

And as a result, Ash, Fluttershy and their Pokemon ended up coming across the frozen ground without warning. Fluttershy wished she had used her wings to evade Dracovish as she and the others started sliding on the ice, trying to maintain balance.

"Vish!" Unfortunately, before they could maintain their composure, along came Dracovish, smashing into them while also sliding on the ice.

"Arcto!" Now provoked, Arctozolt started firing Icy Winds everywhere t everyone, causing everyone to scatter immediately. Ash's group ended up being carried away with Dracovish as they were now on its back after being knocked into the air and landing on the Fossil Pokemon.

"Ash! Fluttershy!" Rainbow cried out as Dracovish kept running, heading off in the distance.

"Zolt!" Arctozolt fired so many Icy Winds that eventually, Cara Liss and Bray Zenn had been caught by it, immediately freezing.

"Oh my!" Chloe noticed the two of them freeze.

"Cinderace, melt the ice with Pyro Ball!" Goh ordered.

"Use Weather Ball Castform!" So did Rainbow Dash

"Cinderace!" Cinderace selected a random pebble, igniting it with his feet and turning it into a fireball before kicking it.

"Cast!" Castform, in his Sunny Form thanks to summer, shot out a ball of flames from his mouth. The two spheres of fire ended up landing near the icy prisons, melting the ice away.

"Arcto!" Arctozolt then turned around, looking at Chloe and Eevee as its next targets. It opened its mouth ready for another Icy Wind.

"Vee...Eevee!" But, thinking quick on her feet, Eevee jumped out of Chloe's hands, kicking her trainer's shoulder as they both avoided Icy Wind via a knockback from the Evolution Pokemon.

"Thank you, Eevee!"

"Let's calm it down immediately!" Goh slid over to Arctozolt, holding out a Poke Ball as Applejack and the others helped Bray and Cara out of the ice that they had been freed out of, choosing to warm them down.


Meanwhile, Ash and Fluttershy were holding on for dear life to Dracovish as it kept running. Cara was right about its strong legs as the Fossil Pokemon was heading for East Lake Axewell.

"How far are you gonna run?!" Ash exclaimed.

"Pika!"

"Hm? Spike, who was still in his battle with Flygon, noticed Ash and Fluttershy nearby. He also noticed a new Pokemon that was carrying them and running at ridiculous speeds. "What the...?"

"Goo?"

"Flygon?"

"Aaah!" Ash and Fluttershy cried bellowed.

"Fly!" Flygon then turned to face Goodra, going for a sneak attack.

"Catch Flygon with your horns!" But Goodra and Spike saw the Mystic Pokemon coming as he used his horns to wrap around Flygon's legs and arms.

"F-Fly!?"

"Let's finish this! Fire Punch!"

"Dra!" While holding on to Flygon, Goodra took the chance to deliver multiple Fire Punches to his fellow Dragon-Type. He struck Flygon in place consecutively, rapidly hitting the Mystic Pokemon.

"F-Fly! Fly! Flygon!"

"Dra!" Flygon then let go of Flygon, tossing him away.

"Let's try this again! Go, Great Ball!" Spike upgraded from a Poke Ball to a Great Ball, tossing it at the Mystic Pokemon. Once more, the ball pulled it in as the shaking began.

1...2...3...Gotcha! Flygon was caught.

"Yes!" Spike cheered while Goodra went over for a hug, picking the baby dragon up and covering him in slime. "Ew..."

"Goo! Goodra!"

"Anyway...what was that all about?" Spike wondered about that Pokemon he saw with Ash and Fluttershy.


"Boldore, go!" As for Goh, he had sent out his newly caught Boldore for this.

"Boldore!"

"I'm counting on you, Boldore!"

"Bold!"

"Draco!" Dracovish moved through the bushes with Chikorita and Scorbunny on the verge of fainting at the moment.

"S-Slow down, please!" Fluttershy pleaded the Fossil Pokemon as Dracovish's running with its open mouth ended up catching a random Rookidee. Another Rookidee appeared on Ash's hat since it was in the bushes.

"R-Rook?!"

Eventually, Dracovish's movements slowed down as it was above something. The lake of East Lake Axewell. Dracovish then dropped down into the lake while Fluttershy grabbed Chikorita and Scorbunny, flying up, but couldn't grab Ash, Audino and Pikachu in time. Thus, they went in the water with Dracovish, causing a big splash.

"Ash! Pikachu! Audi!" Fluttershy gasped as now Ash, Pikachu and Audino were swimming with Dracovish unwillingly.

As for Arctozolt, it and Boldore were staring each other down in anticipation while Bray and Cara were shivering after being freed. Rarity and Starlight gave them some warm blankets to stay warm.

"Zolt!" Suddenly, the Fossil Pokemon surrounded itself in a spark of electricity.

"That's Charge!" Rainbow Dash noticed as Arctozolt was building up power for something potent and destructive. Everything was coloured yellow from all that power.

"Arcto!" After using Charge, Arctozolt then used its signature move, Bolt Beak, covering itself in electricity and charging forward.

"Block it, Sceptile!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Tile!" Along came Sceptile, standing in front of everyone and acting as a shield. Arctozolt slammed into Sceptile as the Forest Pokemon ended up taking most of the electricity so that no one else would be hit by it. But he did end up being launched back. "S-Scep!"

"Thanks, Sceptile! Applejack! We'll take it from here!" Goh turned to Applejack before facing Arctozolt again.

With Dracovish, it looked like it would just keep moving rapidly without showing any signs of stopping, making it one energetic Pokemon despite how it looked like it couldn't even breathe.

However, after a few seconds, the Fossil Pokemon emerged from the water, moving at a slower pace this time as Fluttershy let out a sigh of relief, glad that Ash, Pikachu and Audino were okay.

"Draco."

"Huh? Oh, so you just wanted to swim." Ash realized as he saw Dracovish swim by moving its fins and legs.

"Dravoish."

"Oh, that's a relief." Fluttershy descended as the Rookidee from before showed up, landing back on Ash's hat. "I suppose being revived after so many years would give that reaction. Even if it was very aggressive."

"Rookidee."

"Ash! Fluttershy!" Along came Spike who caught up with them, standing near the lake. "What happened?! And what is that?!"

"Hey, Spike!" Ash waved back. "Ah, this is Dracovish. One of the fossil Pokemon. It uh...didn't look like what we thought it would but it's still neat."

"Pika-Pika."

"I-Is it?" Spike grimaced after looking at Dracovish.

"Hey. Why don't we take a look around? Been a bunch of years since you've swum huh?" Ash suggested.

"Vish!" Dracovish responded by flapping its fins as it suddenly jumped out of the water, landing back on the grass instead of staying in the lake.

"Huh?!" Ash held on to his hat as the Rookidee flew away again. Once more, Dracovish was running at high speeds as Fluttershy and her Pokemon followed after them.

"Woah-Woah!" Spike put his hand out along with him, Axew and Goodra. But even they couldn't stop the approaching Fossil Pokemon. As a result, Dracovish had brought the three of them along with it as Goodra was in the front.

"A-Axew?!"

"Goo!"

"Again?!" Ash cried out as Fluttershy just watched the Fossil Pokemon bolt away.

"Oh my."


Dusty Bowl.

"Boldore, Harden!"

"Bol!" The Ore Pokemon increased its defence by hardening its body as Arctozolt went for another Bolt Beak, smashing into the Rock-Type.

"Zolt!"

"Bol...!" Boldore slid back as it took minimal damage from that.

"Now, Stone Edge!"

"Dore!" Boldore then stomped both of its front legs down, summoning sharp blue crystals from below. The crystals moved rapidly as they smacked Arctozolt in the face.

"Arc!" Despite how hard that hit was, Arctozolt withstood it, shrugging it off as if nothing happened.

"It managed to withstand that?" Goh said.

"Tak about guts." Pinkie gawked.

"Look out!" And right behind them, along came Ash, Pikachu, Audino and Dracovish, heading back to the Dusty Bowl at speeds exceeding 40 mph.

"Oh! Ash! Spike! Twilight smiled before transforming it into a smile, seeing that they were heading here at high speeds, most likely on the very of crashing into someone.

And they certainly did. Dracovish, but mainly Goodra first who was at the very front, had crashed into Arctozolt, causing a collision that resulted in an explosion of dust. The dust cleared as both fossils were down on the ground along with Ash, Goh and Spike.

"A-Are you okay?!" Chloe asked Ash, Goh and Spike.

"Ah...What was that all about?" Spike groaned.

"That was a shock..." Goh sighed.

"You're not hurt anywhere are you?" Ash got up, heading over to Dracovish who also got up.

"Draco." In response, Dracovish it onto Ash's head but with a friendly nature this time, similar to what Totodile, Gible and Torterra, when it was a Turtwig, used to do.

"Hehe. Cut it out." Ash laughed after being bitten.

"Zolt." Arctozolt sat up, not feeling so provoked anymore after that heavy hit.

"Looks like it's calmed down now," said Goh. "Phew."

"That could've been pretty bad real soon." Applejack sighed.

"Yeah." Chloe nodded.

"Looks like both of them like you." Bray went to Ash and Goh. "So, what do you all think? These fossils are pretty neat, aren't they? Would you take care of them?"

"Huh"? Goh pulled back.

"We can?" While Ash leaned forward.

"Sure. We have our new data now, so we're satisfied, right?" Cara looked at Bray as he agreed.

"Nice! Arctozolt, will you come with me?" Goh asked the Pokemon with a runny nose.

"Arcto!"

"Let's be great friends, Dracovish!" Ash put his hand on Dracovish's head.

"Draco!"

"Poke Ball, go!" They both took out their Poke Balls, sending them to the two fossils. Once they pulled them in the shaking could begin but the outcome was already to be expected.

1...2...3...Gotcha! Both Dracovish and Arctozolt were caught! Their data would now be added to the Pokdex.

"Wait, that was a Dragon?" Spike pointed at the Poke Ball of Ash. "Aw, I missed out on another Dragon today!"

"Maybe next time, Spike." Twilight giggled along with everyone as Chloe had a smile on her face. For having an adventure with them all, this was fairly exciting.

It was actually worth coming here in the end.


Kantion Region. Vermillion City. Cerise Laboratory. Cerise Park.

After catching them both, Ash and Goh showed the Curator the newly caught Fossil Pokemon through their Pokdex screens.

"I See! Dracovish and Arctozolt! My they are enchanting to look at!" The Curator said.

"Maybe enchanting isn't the right word..." Rarity twirled her mane, laughing nervously.

"Thank you very much for your report! Ash and Goh! By then!" The Curator then hang up, off to do whatever else he does naturally. More fossil research.

"So how was it?" Cerise asked Chloe.

"Great! I had so much fun! I hope I can go again! Don't you agree Eevee?" Chloe gushed.

"Eevee!"

"You're not gonna be disappointed!" Pinkie Pie appeared near Chloe. "We've got all of the summer to have a blast! So let's make it count, okay?"

"Spinda!"

After a fun experience at the Galar Region, new Pokemon have been discovered in the form of Dracovish and Arctozolt. And most definitely, other new Pokemon are waiting to be discovered and found out there in the wonderful world of Pokemon as the journey continues.
