(E19 Spoilers) What happens to a certain character.

[Bigodes]

Spoiler

So after Saphira's Gym we see a little cutscene, in which Lin hurts Phoenix/Solaris pretty badly when he tries to kill her, and presumably steals his Pokémon (or at least his Garchomp, which she uses agains us later). Then we see a woman with a Sylveon trying to heal his wounds. After beating Victory Road, E4 and the Champion, neither he, the woman nor the Sylveon are there anymore.

Post-game dialogue isn't exactly clear on what happened to him, and we can only guess that he succumbed to his wounds. Who was the woman? Why was she healing him? Where did she go afterwards? Where did Solaris' body go, for that matter? And didn't Elias do anything about his so-beloved master, or to honor his memory for that matter? Unless it went over my head, it seems like no one mentions him anymore, except for Taka, and even then, he wouldn't be able to know what happened to his father, since he was dead in the meantime.

So did I miss something? What happened to him? I expected his ending to be a little more clear, since he's been one of the main antagonists through the game, and in my opinion, one of the few that really deserved a redemption arc of sorts.

I missed a few words of a sentence.

sounds like ya on the Reshiram route as for what happened:

Spoiler

Solaris in both routes dies, but in Reshiram he picks a fight with Lin as you saw, Elias can't do anything about the fact his master died but he can aid the one with the power to avenge him, Elias is still loyal to what heve believes is Arceus' will and does not believe Lin follows that will, that lady trying to heal him is likely one of the few grunts left that were still loyal to the old goal of Team Meteor and Solaris and as far as anyone knows, Lin is gone they can't exactly do much more about that she killed Solaris.
