Iron Island

Barry was training his Empoleon and his new Heracross on Iron Island. Everything was going well, but then something odd happened to Empoleon. First blue electric sparkles appeared over Empoleon, paralyzing it. Then it's eyes glowed blue and it started to attack Barry and Heracross. 
"What's going on?!" Barry gasped. "What's gotten into you Empoleon." 
Empoleon didn't answer. He simply resumed his attack. Something was very wrong.
Meanwhile, back in Canalave City...
The gang waited for the boat to Chocovine Town.
"My next gym battle is taking place in Snowpoint City." Ash informed Dawn.
So the gang would head there after the Chocovine Contest. 
Nurse Joy then approached them.
"You have a phone call." She told Ash.
It was from Barry. Ash showed him his Mine Badge and Tomo did the same.
"You two are my rivals." Barry stated. 
"Anyway, we have a problem." He told them that his Empoleon and the other steel type Pokemon on Iron Island were going crazy.
"How about you? Are your Pokemon okay?" Barry asked.
"We're fine over here." Ash replied.
"Then that means it's only happening on Iron Island." Barry said.
Ash felt something was off.
"Barry stay there." He said. "We're heading over there to help. Right guys?"
The other three nodded.
The plane for Chocovine would be delayed. The gang wanted to know what was happening on Iron Island.
Over at the pier...
Team Rocket was in their submarine, waiting for the gang to leave and get on a boat. This was their way of following them. Right now they saw the gang board a ferry that would take them to Iron Island. The ferry soon left port and they followed it in their submarine.
Ash was worried about what Barry said and so were the others.
Once the ferry arrived at Iron Island, the gang immediately went to the Pokemon Center to meet up with Barry. But he wasn't there.
"If you're looking for Barry, he went to find out what's going on with the Pokemon." Nurse Joy told them.
The gang saw tons of steel type Pokemon in the center and they were in a lot of pain. It was a horrible sight.
"I'm glad I sent Probopass back to the gym a while ago." Brock said.
Ash and Tomo were glad they didn't have any of their steel type Pokemon either.
"Come on." Ash turned to the others. "Let's go find Barry and figure out what's happening here."
The others agreed and they left the Pokemon Center.
The gang soon walked up the rocky terrain of Iron Island. Ash knelled down to the ground and placed his hand on it. 
"What are you doing Ash?" Dawn asked him. 
"I'm going to see if I can feel anything strange about this island." Ash answered. "Just in case there's something about Iron Island that may be the cause of the Pokemon's strange behavior."
Everyone stayed quiet while Ash closed his eyes and concentrated with his psychic powers and then used his aura next.
"You feel anything Ash?" Brock asked.
"Yes. I was right. I felt something weird in the ground." Ash stated.
"What is it, Ash?" Dawn asked.
Before Ash could answer her question, a few Diglett popped up out of the ground. They seemed to be running away from something. A Lairon who had gone berserk had come out of the ground and it was tackling rocks. The gang took cover immediately to not get hit by the rocks. 
"That Lairon is in pain." Ash said.
"It's like the other steel types." Brock said. "Lairon must be going on a rampage to block out all it's pain."
Ash didn't want to sit around and just let Lairon continue going on a rampage. 
"I'm going to stop it." Ash said. "Come on out Pikachu."
Ash and Pikachu ran towards Lairon.
"Pikachu, use Hidden Power." He said.
Pikachu released a hidden power and it hit Lairon.
"Now Brick Break." Pikachu struck Lairon hard with his hand and Lairon was knocked out.
"I'm sorry I did that to you Lairon." Ash apologized. "But I had to stop you from going on a rampage like that."
Unfortunately more trouble came the gang's way. A Steelix, a Metang and some Skarmory turned up and rock type Pokemon were running away from them.
"This is bad." Dawn said.
"What do we do?" Tomo asked.
"We need to find Barry as soon as possible and then find out what's going on here." Ash said.
It was far too dangerous for the gang to stay where they were now. And it got worse when a Aggron appeared. 
Just then a man and Lucario appeared and Lucario knocked Aggron out. To Ash's surprise it was Riley.
"Riley, it's been a while." Ash said. 
"Hello Ash, it's been a long time since we last saw each other." Riley said. "And I can tell your aura has become stronger. How is Riolu?" 
"Riolu is good, but he's a Lucario now." Ash informed him.
"I'm happy to hear that." Riley said.
"These are my friends and brother." Ash introduced Tomo, Brock and Dawn to Riley.
"Oh, so he's the one who taught you how to use Aura?" Dawn asked.
"Yes, he is." Ash nodded.
Riley and Lucario led the gang somewhere safe so they continue their conversation.
"I had a feeling that I might see you here on Iron Island, Ash." Riley said.
"Oh yeah, I remember you telling me that you live on Iron Island, Riley." Ash said.
"That's right." Riley nodded. "And I love it here, especially as it's perfect for a steel type Pokemon trainer like me. But now my home and the Pokemon are in danger because of these strange circumstances."
"I must ask, how come Lucario is alright as it's a steel/fighting type Pokemon?" Dawn asked.
"That's because of it's aura." Riley answered. "The aura prevents it from going crazy like the other steel type Pokemon."
Ash then told Riley about Barry and the reason they were on the island.
"I haven't see anyone here yet, but we better look for your friend now." Riley said.
Meanwhile...
Barry and his Heracross were running away from some wild Magnemite who were firing off Thunder Shock attacks. They came to a cliff and Barry had to jump to get away from Magnemite. Heracross carried Barry while flying. While the two were flying Barry noticed some cranes.
"What's that?" He asked himself.
Suddenly he and Heracross were tackled by a Skarmory and they crashed towards the ground. But instead of landing on the ground, they landed on Jessie, James and Meowth. Team Rocket had made it to Iron Island and were exploring the island too. Barry remembered Team Rocket and told his Heracross to get ready to fight them.
At that time Riley and the gang were on the move again.
"Riley I felt some strange waves coming from within the ground." Ash said.
"Those were low frequency sound waves Ash." Riley said. "Lucario and I felt them too. These sound waves are covering the whole island and it only affects steel type Pokemon. It also has a reverse effect on the bodies of the steel type Pokemon; that's why their sensors have been altered. That's why they don't feel pain when they bash into rocks." 
"But they must feel pain after all the crashing into rocks they do." Tomo said.
"All the more reason to find out what's happening here." Ash said. "Riley, please tell me you know the source of these sound waves."
"Sorry Ash, but Lucario and I are still searching for the source." Ash felt disappointed.
"Ash, I noticed that you and Pikachu attacked that wild Lairon while it was out of control. How did you manage to do that without hesitating?" 
"I didn't really want to do that, but I knew that if I didn't Lairon would continue hurting itself and might hurt someone else." Ash remarked. "And this isn't the first time I've fought Pokemon that were being controlled."
He and Tomo then told the others about a time Team Rocket used a machine that placed any Pokemon under their control including Pikachu and Growlithe.
"Tomo and I didn't want to injure them as it wasn't their fault." Ash explained. "But we had no choice as we wouldn't have gotten to the machine to destroy it and prevent Team Rocket from controlling any more Pokemon." 
"I understand." Riley nodded. "Ash, bring your Lucario here. You and your friends can help me with this situation."
Riley actually wanted to return to Canalave City for their own safety, but he could tell Ash and his friends would rather stay there and help the Pokemon. This was after considering how selfless Ash was around Pokemon before. Ash and the others were more than willing to help find out what was happening on Iron Island. 
"Lucario." Ash called out for him.
Meanwhile
Barry was accusing Team Rocket of causing the steel type Pokemon to go crazy.
"Listen here you!" Jessie shouted. 
She was starting to get angry.
"We just got here ourselves and we have no idea what's happening here."
"I don't believe you." Barry replied. "That machine over there is yours, isn't it?"
"What machine are you taking about?" James asked.
Barry led them to where the cranes and machines were. They were some ancient ruins made out of steel and there were statues of Dialga and Palkia. To Team Rocket's surprise, Mars was there along with some grunts. Mars have the spear key on some kind of scanning machine.
"It's Team Galactic." Meowth said.
"I can't believe we've run into them again." James groaned.
He wasn't very happy to see them.
Some Skarmory and Aron ended up charging towards Team Galactic, but the Golbat and Mars' Purugly easily made them leave.
"Is that woman with you?" Barry asked.
"Team Galactic is our enemy, you dope." Jessie said.
"Yeah, we've been enemies since we first met them." James added.
A Steelix suddenly appeared and pushed Barry and Team Rocket off the cliff. Mars immediately noticed the group.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Team Rocket." Mars said. "I'd like to chat, but I'm busy. Don't get in my way."
The Golbat used Air Cutter to attack, but Heracross took the attack to protect Barry.
Barry immediately returned Heracross and sent Staraptor and Roserade out.
Team Rocket released all their Pokemon too.
Barry was surprised to see Team Rocket help him.
"Don't underestimate us, kid." James said. "We have a score to settle with Mars, so don't get in our way."
"Fine with me." Barry muttered.
He didn't want to help Team Rocket anyway.
Back with Riley and the gang...
Riley's Lucario and Ash's Lucario were scanning the area with their auras and it seemed they were getting close to finding the source of the low frequency sound waves. 
'Father, I feel Team Galactic.' Ash's Lucario said.
"Oh no." Ash gasped. "My Lucario just said that he feels Team Galactic's aura."
"What? Team Galactic is here?" Dawn exclaimed in shock.
"Who's Team Galactic?" Riley asked.
"I'll explain in a minute." Ash replied. "But we need to find out what Team Galactic is up to now."
Riley wanted to know who Team Galactic, but the most important thing right now is getting to where the sound waves are coming from.
Meanwhile...
Team Rocket and Barry's Pokemon were having a hard time.
Team Galactic had so many Golbat and they couldn't defeat them all.
Meowth and Jessie's Purugly were up against Mars' Purugly, but her Purugly proved to be stronger and Meowth and Jessie's were knocked out. Suddenly Barry, Jessie, James and all their Pokemon ended up falling down a hole.
"Grr I'm not letting that Mars lady get away with this!" Jessie shouted.
Suddenly they noticed a wall carving of Dialga and Palkia.
"What is this place?" Meowth asked.
Just then they heard laughter from above. It was Mars. She considered Team Rocket and Barry's defeat to be hilarious. Then she walked off to get back to work. Barry returned his Pokemon so they could rest.
"We need to get out of here, but how?" Barry asked.
At this time Riley and the gang arrived at the ruins.
"Wow, look at that." Ash said, amazed with the ruins.
"Hey look Team Galactic is here alright." Dawn said, looking at Mars and her grunts.
"If Team Galactic is here, this place must have something to do with the space-time legend." Brock said. 
"Who is Team Galactic?" Riley asked again.
"They're a evil organization after Dialga and Palkia." Ash answered. "They want to use them to destroy the world and re-create it as their own."
Riley and his Lucario didn't like the sound of that.
"This must be the source of the low frequency sound waves that's causing all this trouble." Riley said. "They must be coming from these ruins. I had no idea ruins made from a metal substance like this even existed on the island."
"I bet Team Galactic discovered these ruins and dug them up." Dawn said.
Riley and the others agreed. 
The two Lucario noticed the spear key that was still being scanned by the machine and pointed at the machine.
"You two feel something coming from that machine?" Ash asked.
"Use your aura to try and find out as much as you can." Riley said. "It might have something to do with the sound waves."
While the Lucario try to find something Mars was carrying the spear key to a strange hole on a plaque in the ruins. The hole was the same shape as the spear key. The spear key floated from Mars' hand to the hole and the statues of Dialga and Palkia started to light up.
"Perfect, just like Cyrus said." Mars smiled.
The pillar started to release a beam of blue light into the sky and unbeknownst to everyone it headed straight towards Mt. Coronet.
Riley and the gang's eyes were shut because of the bright light. 
"What is this?" Ash asked.
Before his question could be answered, both his Lucario and Riley's Lucario were thrown back.
"Lucario, are you alright?" Ash asked.
The two Lucario got back up, but they started to go crazy as well and prepared to fire Aura Sphere.
"Lucario!" Ash and Riley shouted at the same time.
Things were looking bad.
The two Lucario fired Aura Sphere, but Ash and Riley used their aura shields to protect the others.
"Why are our Lucario going crazy Riley?" Ash asked. "I thought their aura was protecting them."
"Something more powerful than our Lucario's aura is coming from the ruins and our Lucario are unable to protect themselves because of it." Riley said.
The Lucario then began to use Bone Rush and started attacking the wild rock type Pokemon.
Ash and Riley tried to return them to their Poke Balls but they dodged the beams and knocked the Poke Balls out of their hands. Riley's Lucario even hit him with Bone Rush.
"Lucario calm down!" Ash shouted.
His Lucario managed to hear this.
'Father help me.' Lucario said while growling in pain.
Ash ran over to help his Lucario while Brock and Tomo ran over to help Riley's Lucario.
Meanwhile
After the beam of light reached Mt. Coronet, Prof. Rowan and his research team detected strong energy coming from Iron Island and Mt. Coronet. The meteorites at Veilstone City were glowing too. In the underground ruins Team Rocket and Barry also noticed the glowing.
"This is freaky." Meowth said.
"We really have to get to the bottom of this." Barry said.
Team Galactic was collecting data and scanning everything. Mars contacted Saturn at headquarters.
"The energy from the beam reached it's highest peak." She told him.
Saturn then gave Cyrus the report about the powerful energy from Mt. Coronet and Iron Island.
What Team Galactic was doing was searching for a place called the Spear Pillar and they believed it was in Mt. Coronet. They started scanning Mt. Coronet, where the beam of light descended.
At that time Ash, Tomo and Brock were still holding onto the two Lucario.
"Ash, tell Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on our Lucario." Riley instructed. "It's the only way to help them."
"I understand Riley." Ash said. "Pikachu you heard him, use Thunderbolt."
Pikachu understood the situation and used Thunderbolt on the two Lucario, shocking Ash, Tomo and Brock as well.
The Lucario then picked themselves up and ran towards the blue light.
"Quick, let's go after them." Ash said.
Riley and the gang immediately followed the Lucario.
The Lucario headed straight towards the machine with the intention of destroying it. Mars noticed the two Lucario and had the Golbat and her Purugly to stop them. They were knocked out by Shadow Ball and Slash.
"Lucario." Ash said.
He, Riley and the others came upon the scene.
'Father, that machine.' Ash's Lucario said.
He pointed to the machine, then fainted.
"Lucario wants us to destroy that machine." He said.
"Do you think that machine is causing the steel type Pokemon to go crazy?" Tomo asked.
"I don't know." Ash answered. "But if Lucario wants us to destroy it, I say we do it." 
The others agreed.
Everyone started to run towards the area where Team Galactic was. Piplup then fell down the hole where Barry and Team Rocket were. Dawn immediately noticed Barry.
"It's Barry." She told the others.
She quickly threw a rope for Barry and Team Rocket to use to climb out, but a Steelix appeared and Dawn fell into the hole with the rope. There was worse to come; the Steelix stuck it's head in the hole ready to attack. A aura shield stopped Steelix in it's tracks. It came from Riley.
"Riley?" Ash asked.
"I'll handle this. You three go stop that machine." He said.
"Leave it to us." Ash replied.
He released his Rampardos, Bastiodon and Staravia. Brock released his Sudowoodo, Croagunk and Nuzleaf and Tomo released his Carnivine, Magmortar and Electivire. 
"Okay everyone, charge!" Ash shouted.
The group immediately charged towards Team Galactic. 
Mars saw Ash, Brock and Tomo and wasn't very happy. She hadn't forgotten them. 
"Attack." She commanded all the Golbat.
Sudowoodo, Croagunk, Nuzleaf, Carnivine, Magmortar, Electivire and Growlithe charged and attacked all the Golbat. 
"Pikachu, get on Staravia and destroy that machine." Ash said.
Pikachu got on Staravia's back and it flew towards the machine. Mars quickly noticed that.
"They're heading towards the machine." She told HQ.
When Cyrus received the message, it was clear that Ash and the others were the issue. 
"Stop them." Mars told the Golbat and Purugly. 
Bastiodon blocked Purugly with Iron Defense and Rampardos struck the Golbat with Zen Headbutt. This allowed Pikachu to destroy the machine with Thunderbolt. 
"No!" Mars shouted.
The spear key was thrown off after the machine was destroyed, but a Golbat caught it.
"What is that thing?" Ash asked.
Brock and Tomo had no idea.
Mars was glad the spear key was alright. After the machine was destroyed, the ruins stopped glowing and the steel type Pokemon returned to normal. Ash's Lucario picked himself up and ran over to him.
'I'm sorry father.' He apologized.
"It's okay Lucario it wasn't your fault, that machine was the reason for your confusion." Ash said. "It's all over now."
He, Brock and Tomo thanked their Pokemon before returning them. Riley, Dawn, Barry and Team Rocket noticed everything was alright now.
"Ash, Brock and Tomo did it." Dawn smiled.
"They did what? What are you talking about?" Barry had no idea what had happened.
At headquarters the scan of Iron Island had ceased after the machine had been destroyed. The scan only reached 60% and Team Galactic still had no idea where the Spear Pillar was. 
"Saturn, tell Mars to retreat." Cyrus instructed.
He had something else planned for Iron Island. Iron Island was going to be blown up with bombs. Mars received the order.
"Retreat!" She ordered.
Ash, Brock, Tomo and Riley noticed Team Galactic was retreating.
"Oh no. They're not getting away this time." Ash said.
The group ran after Team Galactic. The grunts went underground where a lot of pillars were erected and placed bombs on the pillars. Then they boarded the helicopters with Mars.
"Stop right there Team Galactic!" Ash shouted.
"What are you doing here and what do you want?!" Riley demanded.
Mars turned around showing off a remote control device used to set off bombs.
"One step closer and I'll blow this entire island up." Mars said.
"You what?!" Ash shouted.
"You wired everything with bombs?" Brock asked, shocked.
"Find the bombs." Riley whispered to the two Lucario.
"I'm not bluffing because I don't bluff." Mars said. "And we don't need your world so we're going to destroy it understand? In the meantime I'll press this button because I feel like it, so I hope you all have a nice time running."
Then Team Galactic left in their helicopter and Mars planned to blow the island up once they were far enough away.
"That witch!" Ash growled, not liking what Mars just said.
The Lucario told Riley and Ash that they found the bombs in the underground ruins.
"We need to get rid of those bombs now." Ash said.
He had no intention of letting Mars destroy Iron Island.
"Brock, you and Tomo help Barry and Dawn. Lucario, Pikachu and I will go stop the bombs."
"I'll come with you Ash. You might not be able to do it on your own." Riley said.
Ash and Riley headed to the underground ruins while Brock and Tomo headed towards the hole. In the underground ruins Ash and Riley were shocked to see how many bombs there were.
"Mars wasn't kidding when she said she would destroy the island." Riley said.
"I told you Team Galactic was evil." Ash said.
He, Lucario and Pikachu ran towards a bomb.
While Riley, Ash, their Lucario and Pikachu headed to the underground ruins Brock and Tomo went to help Dawn, Barry and Team Rocket.
"Team Galactic placed bombs on the pillars." They told Dawn, Barry and Team Rocket.
They weren't happy to hear that. Jessie and James quickly returned all their Pokemon.
"Please get us out of here quickly." Barry said.
"Don't worry, I have the perfect Pokemon for the job." Tomo said.
He called his Carnivine over to him.
"My Carnivine's Vine Whip will get you out in no time." James suddenly remembered his Carnivine also knew Vine Whip.
"My Carnivine can help you with it's Vine Whip too." He said.
Tomo's Carnivine pulled James' Carnivine up first. Then together the two Carnivine started pulling the others up with Vine Whip.
Meanwhile
Ash, Pikachu, Riley and their Lucario discovered they couldn't remove the bombs from the pillars. Even Iron Tail or Thunderbolt couldn't stop them.
"What do we do Riley?" Ash asked, trying to figure out a solution.
"There's only one thing we can do." Riley said. "Ash, I need you to be strong now because we'll need to use our aura against those bombs."
"Huh?" Ash was confused.
By now, Tomo's Carnivine and James' Carnivine had pulled Dawn, Barry and Team Rocket out of the hole. Right now, Team Galactic was miles away from the island in the helicopter. Mars smiled wickedly at the island and pressed the button on the controller to set off the bombs. There was a rumbling noise and the ground was shaking. Team Rocket, Barry, Dawn, Brock, Tomo and their Pokemon braced themselves for the explosions to go off. But nothing happened; no explosions or anything.
"Nothing happened." Dawn said.
"No booms or anything." Jessie added.
"I wonder what happened?" Brock asked.
Ash, Riley and their Lucario created a large aura shield to prevent the bombs from blowing Iron Island up.
It was hard and the group struggled to maintain the shield.
"Don't give up Ash. Keep going, Lucario!" Riley shouted.
"I never give up!" Ash hollered.
The two Lucario weren't giving up either.
Mars and the grunts noticed no explosions were going off and wanted to know why. The computer on the helicopter showed signs that the bombs were detonating, but it didn't make sense to Team Galactic why they weren't destroying Iron Island. They weren't aware of what Ash and Riley had been doing. Despite wanting to know what was going on, Mars and the grunts couldn't stay there any longer and started making their way back to headquarters. By now all the bombs had exploded within the aura shield. 
"Quick, we have to get this away from the island now!" Riley shouted.
"Let's do it!" Ash shouted.
Together they pushed the aura shield out of the ruins and up towards the sky. The bombs and aura shield exploded together in the sky like a firework. Iron Island had been saved.
"Where are Ash, Riley and the Lucario?" Dawn asked, worried.
There was no need to worry though because they emerged from the ruins safe and sound. Ash and Riley were exhausted after creating that large aura shield, but they were happy to have saved Iron Island.
"You did very well Ash." Riley said. "You have successfully used aura."
"It was all thanks to what you taught me Riley." He replied.
Screeching and roaring was then heard from the cliffs and sky. It came from all the steel type Pokemon on Iron Island. They were grateful to Riley and the gang for saving them and their home. Riley, Barry and the gang were happy that things were back to normal.
By now Team Rocket was leaving in their submarine.
"The nerve of that Team Galactic." Jessie angrily said. "Deciding to destroy the world and recreate it as their own."
"This world belongs to Team Rocket, not Team Galactic." Meowth said.
"We'll need to train our Pokemon and make ourselves stronger for the next time we fight them." James suggested.
Jessie and Meowth agreed.
After all the trouble was over Riley and the gang were visited by Carolina. She wanted to see the ruins for herself and it wasn't long before her employees began their research on the ruins. Carolina found out that the machine had been created from the meteorites Team Galactic stole in Veilstone and the ruins had the same compounds as the meteorites. It was apparent that the ruins used to be meteors before turning into the ruins. It was also clear that it was the machine and the ruins that caused all the steel type Pokemon to go berserk. 
"Team Galactic must have used this machine like a radar to locate the ruins. It's also rumored that this can also reveal the location of the Spear Pillar, which is necessary to bring Dialga and Palkia to this world." 
"Spear Pillar?" Ash raised a eyebrow.
"A location that is hidden somewhere in the Sinnoh Region." Carolina said.
Ash had a bad feeling about this; with everything he went through with Team Aqua and Magma, it wouldn't be long before Team Galactic successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia. 
"Carolina, can we speak in private?" Ash asked.
Carolina knew why Ash wanted to talk to her alone and accepted. 
"Would you follow me and Carolina?" He asked Riley.
He knew that Riley was trustworthy.
Carolina, Riley and Ash went to a tunnel where no one else could be found.
"I take it you received it, right Ash?" Carolina asked.
He removed the Griseous Orb from his backpack.
"What a magnificent object." A surprised Carolina said.
"What is that Ash?" Riley asked.
"My plan is to enlist Giratina's help to deal with Team Galactic." He told Riley.
"So this orb belongs to Giratina." Carolina said.
"Ash, you must promise that you and your friends will be careful the next time you face Team Galactic. They're very dangerous individuals." 
"Make no mistake. We will be careful." Ash declared. "We'll make Team Galactic regret causing all this trouble."
The gang spent the night at the Pokemon Center and the next day they got ready to head to Chocovine Town. By now Barry's Empoleon had fully recovered and he was happy.
"I have to say, you got caught up in something big yesterday." Barry said.
The gang shared everything that happened yesterday.
"When it comes to bad guys like Team Galactic, it always does." Ash said. "But that won't stop me from entering the Sinnoh League."
"Same here." Barry replied.
The gang and Barry wished each other good luck and goodbye while the gang sailed away. Barry remained on Iron Island to do some more training.
Meanwhile
At Team Galactic headquarters Mars stood in front of Cyrus.
"I'm sorry for failing to blow Iron Island up." She apologized.
"That was only a minor setback." Cyrus told her. 
He wanted to move forward with his plans as quickly as possible before anyone else got in the way. He placed Saturn in charge of excavating the Spear Pillar. Team Galactic may have only scanned 60% of Mt. Coronet, but they were still in the middle of locating the Spear Pillar to control Dialga and Palkia.
