At Lake Verity and Lake Acuity, the opened hutches of the air-shuttles have drawn the keen focus of everyone, but no further event seems to be taking place. Sitting on her Yanmega, Mars feels slightly disappointed that even though the count down is complete, nothing has followed, not even a single bang or blast. Jupiter realizes that the Galactic Bomb isn't going to be detonated at her lake after all, and patiently waits for what is bound to ensue.

Suddenly, the land begins to rumble vigorously at both lakes, and Dia wonders if it is an earthquake. Yet, something feels unusual about it, as he can even feel the air trembling around him. Mars starts to get excited, and says it is finally appearing. On Platinum's side, Candice gasps with confusion at what is going on, and Jupiter states that the explosion has succeeded in bringing about the simultaneous awakenings.

With that, a pixie with four pink appendages on the sides of its head comes shooting out from a cave on Lake Verity's central isle, and at the same time, a yellow pixie whose head is shaped like a helmet comes charging out from a corresponding cavern at Lake Acuity. These two are no other than Mesprit, the legendary Pokemon that governs emotions; and Uxie, the legendary Pokemon that governs knowledge.

From the Rapidash carriage, Sebastian points towards the sky, and says a strange pink creature has appeared. For both Maylene and Candice, it is their first time to see the yellow Pokemon. However, for Dia and Platinum, they are hit with a strong sense of nostalgia, and are sure that they have seen these two pixies before.

Candice demands to know why the lake Pokemon appeared even though the bomb didn't go off at Lake Acuity, and Jupiter turns to face her with a cold look. She states that the three Pokemon that Team Galactic seeks, Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit, are linked by an invisible bond, and are even thought to have come from the same egg. If changes occur to the body of one, the other two will also feel the effect, which is why regardless of which pixie has been awakened by the explosion, Uxie will also rise from its slumber.

The purple-haired woman snickers that it is probably too difficult for the girls to understand anyway, and tells them to take one final good look at Uxie as she is going to capture it. With that, she calls forward Tangrowth, who begins to ensnare the yellow pixie by extending its long arms made of vine.

Maylene hollers that they must stop it, and Candice immediately orders Froslass to attack. However, Jupiter commands a Stone Edge from Gastrodon, and a sharp boulder instantly jams hard into Froslass and Candice, dealing a critical hit and slamming them onto the ground. Maylene then gets Meditite to use Power Swap on Sableye, and follows with a Rock Tomb, sending a barrage of flying rocks towards its foe.

Jupiter compliments that it is a well thought move, but smirks that it is still too weak. With a twinkle in its eye, the jewelled creature unleashes a Punishment, and hurls both Maylene and Meditite off their feet and crashing against the floor. Seeing both gymleaders and their Pokemon knocked out, Platinum gasps in horror, and Jupiter calls their attempt a futile one, as they clearly stand no chance in defeating her or interfering with Team Galactic's schemes.

In that instant, a dome-shaped object is lowered from the air-shuttle's hutch, and Jupiter states that it is the restrainer of the legendary Pokemon, another important item that the aircrafts carry. She explains that all Tangrowth has to do is to corner Uxie until it enters the shooting range of the restrainer, named Formation U, and the device will do the rest. As soon as she says that, the dome-shaped object detects the yellow pixie's presence within its calculated proximity, and shoots out a net to snag it.

Platinum exclaims at the capture of Uxie, and quickly sends out Rapidash to burn down the net. However, Jupiter reiterates that no one can thwart their schemes as long as she is watching, and hands Tangrowth a Passho Berry, allowing it to unleash a water-type Natural Gift. The attack slams hard on Rapidash and knocks it unconscious, and Platinum could only watch helplessly as Uxie is taken into the air-shuttle by Formation U. Feeling defeated, she falls onto her knees as the air-shuttle begins to take off.

Meanwhile, at Lake Verity, Mesprit is surrounded by a flock of Staravias in midair. The pink pixie finds it increasingly difficult to dodge the assaults of the starling birds, and Mars giggles that her grunts have surely set their layout well. She thinks that it is time to launch Formation M, and sees from her handheld computer that the air-shuttles at Lake Valor and Lake Acuity have both started their return to Veilstone, which means they already have Azelf and Uxie.

She believes that she should bring Mesprit back as soon as possible as well, and the dome-shaped device that is lowered from the air-shuttles hutch instantly shoots out a net to capture a startled Mesprit.

Clinging onto Drifblim, Dia cries that he cannot let that happen, and throws himself against Mesprit's restrainer. Before Mars could stop him, he pulls out Roo's Pokeball and releases the Torterra in the middle of the air, causing the red-haired TG Commander to gasp in shock. She is interested to see what will happen however, when such a heavy Pokemon that doesn't fly plummets from such a height.

Dia states that nothing will happen because they have a vast lake beneath them. What's important is why will happen before Roo plummets. With that, he orders a Dia-special-mach-one-and-only Razor Leaf from Roo, and Mars bolts with a start when she sees the Torterra unleash a single fast-moving leaf towards the cord the suspends Mesprit's restrainer from the air-shuttle...
