After Elio talked to Looker and Anabel, he went back into the H.Q to talk to Lillie about Guzzlord, in addition to placing the shadow Ultra Beast they have gathered. Elio discovered out Banette and Cincinno had an argument over what went where and pillow stuffing was everywhere. Elio found Lillie lecturing both the Banette and Cincinno while Lusamine was getting rid of what use to be a pillow.
Soon as Lusamine left to get a new one, Elio asked Lillie about something they still need to do. "Excuse me Lillie, mind if I talk to you about something for a minute? We have some shadow pokemon to deposit anyways."
Lillie nodded as they left.
The Buzzwole, Pheromosa, and Kartana were all placed into chamber two, three, and six. With the remaining three chambers being used for Maractus, Mamoswine and Araquanid.
As the duo left the chambers, Elio discussed the task at hand. "Looker and Anabel gave the report on another shadow Ultra Beast Cipher has in Orre. Guzzlord, the second most destructive of the Ultra Beasts by far. Would you like to come with me to hel me capture this one?"
Lillie nodded back. "Yes, no sense in letting this one on the loose. What makes Guzzlord destructive?"
Elio laughed as he tried to think the words. "Guzzlord as the name implies is known for eating virtually everything. Edible or non edible. Most just get converted into energy."
Lillie cringed at imagining what Cipher had planned for the Ultra Beast as Elio continued. "Guzzlord is the second largest of the Ultra Beasts it has a large mouth, four set's of eyes and strange looking tongues."
Lillie looked at the door and asked. "How are we going to fight this thing?"
Elio answered. "Simple enough, attack it from the sides. Call back our pokemon immediately after this thing knocks them out or has them in grip of his tongues. Guzzlord much like Hydreigon is allergic to fairies, contrary to its bulk it is not hard to knock out."
Lillie thought about going to another hideout Cipher had hidden and asked. "What are we going to do after we capture the Guzzlord?"
Elio heard the question and smiled an answer. "Hold off on putting Guzzlord into the chamber until Gladion and the other guy get here and place theirs in."
The duo agreed on another perilous adventure as they explained to nearly everyone in the H.Q where they were going. Lillie told her mother enough information about how there was still some things left to be done, but left out the specific detail of the objective. Lillie called it it a clean up operation. Afterwards they would have enough free time for the week until Gladion arrives.
Lillie and Elio were driving across the desert when The Dex talked about the next location. "BZZT! Cipher Key Lair. BZZT! A factory that was secretly made by Cipher BZZT!"
Elio turned to the Dex in an apologetic smile. "Let me explain this in more detail... it is messed up no matter who says it."
He began explaining what he knows to Lillie as they approached a canyon. "Looker and Anabel told me about this place, twelve years ago Cipher forced a shadow pokemon by the code name of XD-001 or Shadow Lugia to carry a large ship full of pokemon. Most of the pokemon on the ship were sent into this Factory... to be turned into shadow pokemon."
Lillie cringed. "Why would such a place exist?"
Elio shrugged. "I don't want to know."
As the duo arrive to the what looked like an old pyramid with chimney pipes stretching the sky. Old sludge from twelve years fill the air in a noxious smell. Elio looked at the place in bitter hate as he asked to himself. "Why hasn't anyone tore these places down yet?! Funny enough I know one pokemon that would be more than happy to leave..."
Lillie stopped Elio before he finished. "We are here to save Guzzlord, salvage anything out of this place and leave. What ever you had planned for this place or the lab, leave me out!"
Elio sighed as Lillie reminded him to keep the hatred in check again.
His face smiled as he was ready to tell Lillie more positive news. "With Cipher putting most of their focus on this region, us driving them off and incapacitating the people still able to create these shadow pokemon. By the time they sent in their big boys, we were able to stop them and take the shadow pokemon they spent too many resources and time getting. Cipher is on its death throes... hopefully it stays dead."
Lillie's eyes started forming tears at how large the place was as well as the fact that many pokemon were hurt in the factory twelve years ago, she whispered back to Elio. "Good, when this is over, this would all seem like a bad dream."
The factory itself was not in good condition during the twelve years it has been inactive. Cobwebs are everywhere, the fumes from the rotting sludge were smelt even from inside. Aside from machinery used to turn Guzzlord into a shadow pokemon, all left over parts were left to rust.
As they climb up to the top of the factory, Rotom Dex was alert. "BZZZT! Boss I sense something in that room up ahead. BZZT!"
The top of the factory is a clear open view with a door way leading to another room. The duo prepared the Raichu and Yanmega, they heard a small growl before the door itself was eaten. Revealing exactly as Elio described except its main body was purple, its teeth looked velvet. Its inner mouth looked pure black and its eyes were red. It let loose a bellowing otherworldly roar as the trainers got their pokemon ready.
XD-011 Shadow Guzzlord. Its aura flared to life increasing its attack!
Elio shouted. "ODON WE NEED YOU OUT HERE!"
Lillie shouted. "Shockums, we have to save this one as well!"
As the Yanmega and Raichu were prepared to face the Guzzlord their trainers ordered.
From Lillie to the Raichu. "Shockums, use thunder wave to stun that Guzzlord!"
From Elio. "ODON USE AIR SLASH TO WEAKEN THE GUZZLORD!"
As the thunder wave paralyzed the Guzzlord, it tried to grab the Raichu before a slash of air made it recoil back in a flinch.
Lillie shouted. "Shockums, now is your chance get to that Guzzlord's sides!"
Lillie had the Raichu go to a safer position as Elio fed a beast ball into the snag machine.
"GO SNAG BALL!"
Shake... POP!
The Guzzlord roared as it slammed its weight on the Raichi for a K.O.
The Guzzlord roared as its beast boost began to flow. Lillie called the Raichu back. "Shockums, come back! Medic, get out here!"
Elio prepared another beast ball.
"GO SNAG BALL!"
Shake... shake... shake... click!
Lillie took a deep breath at the success."Guzzlord is caught!"
Elio joined the relief. "Now all we have left is Xurkitree, a dangerous bundle of life wires." The duo make a descent into the main office to see if they could salvage anything else out of the dreadful place.
In the office and found that it was rather well kept for being use to pen a Guzzlord.
As they searched , Lillie found two things of note. An empty purple pokeball with an M on it and an old looking flute. "Excuse me Rotom, would you check to see what this is?"
The Dex joked. "BZZT! Since I know you meant the flute and not the Master Ball. Sure. That is a Time Flute. An old relic that is used to summon a pokemon known as Celebi. Its very presence can automatically open the door to a pokemons heart, but it will disappear after use. No one knows why, but time will tell. BZZT!"
Lillie picked up both items as she went to Elio to report. "I found a Master Ball we can use and a Time flute for any of the shadow pokemon that are not going into the chambers anytime soon."
As Lillie mentioned both items, Elio smiled at the Master Ball. "That ball can be very useful depending on what we end up coming across. Since you found both you can keep them." Lillie felt spoiled as Elio grinned. Lillie
put some thought into some of the species of shadow pokemon and asked Elio. "Some of these pokemon we are saving. What do you think of them as a whole?"
Elio raised an eyebrow to question Lillie. "Specific or Generic? Because most of them were friendly otherwise before Cipher came along."
Lillie shook her head as she was more specific. "I am talking about specific pokemon."
Elio put some thought into them. "While I am a firm believer of the term, no bad pokemon. Some of the specific species are something to be concern about. Banette is a pokemon that is normally driven with vengeance over the kid who threw them away when they were simple dolls. Pete, despite him figuring out about the Clefairy doll is a really swell guy, if you don't mind the pranks. Chandelure, We both have heard horror stories that it likes to steal souls and burn them. From some of the things Juniper told Kukui about its entire evolutionary line... not even its own trainer is safe. If we cannot find its trainer, we are stuck with keeping it in a ball outside of battle because of this! To put it bluntly, it is as dangerous as Guzzlord on a spiritual level."
Lillie nodded in agreement as Elio continued down the list. "Shiinotic, I have heard about this pokemon being a problem. But there is a place in Alola we can release it to where no one will find it. Bisharp, if professor Juniper from Unova told Kukui anything about it, it is a vicious pack leader."
Elio took a deep breath about one specific pokemon. "Then there is Hydreigon... Dex do you have the information listed?"
The Dex tried to blink. "BZZT! Nope, Juniper has not given us information about this one yet, BZZT!" Elio shook his head. "I'll try to speak from the tales. Hydreigon has a reputation for being naturally an evil, destructive monster. Every last tale involved the three headed pokemon destroying everything in their path. I also heard rumors that make those tales... exaggerated."
Lillie's eyes widen in worry over the one she caught from her battle with Evice and responded. "What kind of rumors?"
Elio chuckled loudly. "That Hydreigon's can be among the most affectionate and friendliest pokemon period."
Lillie thought about what Elio had said. "Which one is true then?"
Elio shrugged. "Again I don't have a Hydreigon to confirm either or. The one we have is strictly something we are keeping if we cannot find its trainer. Depending on how well it gets along with the others... will determine why."
As the duo exit the factory, Elio finished the question. "Overall, some of them are going to need help long after they are back to normal. Some more than others." Lillie gave Elio a pat on the back as they left the Key Lair, with intent to never return to such a vile place.
