Heading back to Miare airport after saying goodbye to Numerugon, Satoshi and the gang encounter a remnant vine from the attack. Satoshi and Gekkouga notice that the vine is being fueled by some kind of energy in the ground. Having taken it out, Xerosic appears and abducts Citron. Xerosic tries to brainwash Citron to revive the goals of the now defunct Flare-dan, but he fails to do so. Xerosic ends up arrested by law enforcement. Afterwards, more remnant vines and both Zygarde appear. Satoshi ends up releasing Gekkouga in the care of Zygarde to help restore order to Kalos.
