Wroah, didn't think I'd make a big story sketch dump this week. I've doing big thunks about the fallout for the Darkest Day and what the fuck they do with Eternatus. And the answer is. . .complicated (and not answered here lol)

In the aftermath of the Darkest Day, the responsibility of figuring out what to do with Eternatus fell on Ash's shoulders as Leon was concussed and the Chairman under arrest.

After being given a few days to recover, he is questioned on what to do as the authorities wish to either lock Eternatus away or destroy them. Ash says that he wants to help Eternatus instead--even release them if possible. Cue an uproar from the gym leaders and other officials.

Ash explains that Eternatus was just a pawn used by Chairman Rose (just like himself and Leon) and that only the Chairman (and anyone else complicit in causing the Darkest Day) should be punished. This causes a divide, with people who agree with Ash and people who don't.

Leon, after he is able to think through his concussion, agrees with Ash but says they should keep Eternatus locked away until the time was right.

Skye, surprisingly, doesn't agree with Ash. He thinks Eternatus should be locked away so that they wouldn't hurt anyone else, all while eyeing Ash's injuries. So Ash reminds Skye that he didn't want the Druddigon that attacked him to be destroyed either.

Skye argues that Druddigon don't have the power to potentially destroy Galar, but Ash shoots back that Eternatus can't help being so powerful and Skye has Platinum, a Pokémon capable of razing mountains if she was mad enough, and Alexander, a Pokémon built to hunt and kill Ultra Beasts.

When Skye hesitates, Ash tells him that he and Goh are probably going to have the final say in what happens to Eternatus, as they were ones to defeat and capture them. Ash asks him to rescue Eternatus from being destroyed.

Skye isn't sure what to do after that conversation. He does agree with Ash that Chairman Rose is the one responsible for the Darkest Day, but he honestly doesn't want anything to do with Eternatus. But he also feels bad for Goh, because he's still just a kid who's in the same boat, and Eternatus is technically his Pokémon. Their conversations are just as tense, but they do come to a decision.

They decide that Leon's idea was the best course of action. Ash is frustrated, but Skye promises that Eternatus won't be destroyed or forgotten. It's just that everyone needs time to recover and prepare in case Eternatus attempts something.

. . .and the bottom left is just a time when a Marco Cosmos employee interrupts Ash's lunchtime for a media interview, and Skye having none of it.
