I'm guessing Charizard would set you down on the island where Luxray (who I forgot to use) and Feraligatr were set down. Followed shortly after by Marc and the rest of his mons. 

Feraligatr comes back with three Slowpoketails. They look a little old, so you don't think he was the one to tear them off. You do note that they are way oversized. He reports seeing a lot of Slowpoke and Slowbro when you play 20 questions with him.

From your vantage point on one of the more central islands, just across from the Volcanion sentry islands, you feel surrounded by the collected watery shipwrecks. In toward the more central islands you can see that recipient tube which captures the waterfall; lots of metal items around it too. There's kind of a moat separating each ring of islands. 

After a few seconds of being on the ground, a second colossal red tube rotates into place, swirling all the water and spraying a huge fountain into the air. Between that movement and the constant heat, this water stays clean and fresh. Then the second tube sinks away again, leaving only the recipient tube and a lot of agitated water.

The island gleams, and is suddenly and briefly covered in a layer of rimefrost.

I need to know if Shiva lets Glaceon enter the little den, and I need to know where you are flying to now.

No kidding.  And she's going to be evolving soon, too...I wonder how quickly she's going to evolve into Reuniclus...

Could be that those slowpoke tails fell off naturally.  That happens sometimes with Slowpoke and presumably also Slowking according to the Pokedex in Gen 7.  How big are those Slowpoke tails compared to Solomon, though?

That water's probably also scalding hot initially, isn't it?  How's Feraligatr faring, swimming around in it?

He'll definitely would be treating his and Shiva's Burns with 1 Burn Heal each once they made their way onto the island, though!(...)

How many evolutions does Primal Eevee have remaining, do your notes say? Otherwise we'll go back and look.
The Morning Sun does work, though just barely. Glaceon continues glowing just as he was about to fade.

Quote:Primal Espeon is adorably fluffy. The tuft of fur under a normal Espeon's ear is multiplied tenfold, creating a mane or beard, which is longest under the chin and makes him look like a wise old man (which he totally is). The tail has only two forks, as normal, but both are much shaggier and it's harder to see where the fork is. In effect, he just has a tail that gets a lot thicker at the end. The gem on his forehead is not perfectly round. It looks like a naturally, freshly-mined ruby.

The fur of his back is smooth for the first time ever. Very soft and fine! But his paws are still the giant paws of Primal Eevee, instead of the dainty nubs Espeon should have.

Congratulations! Your Primal Glaceon evolved into Primal Espeon!

Quote:Two Slowbro are opening a circular hatch in the tube, and removing something in a rush of water, but they both suddenly dive aside as you approach and weasel away into little holes in the island.
