Nickit's in the grass on Route 3, likely as the Nighttime counterpart to yamper.

So i assume it is the one behind the bars where the sign says "Only when the truth is known the last shackle shall be free"? and how do i free this shackle tnx
You have to open all the doors in the Wispy Ruins, which requires a decent number of Badges (8, IIRC), as well as reading all the books on the yellow bookshelves in the castle itself.

Where is this lost castle? how do i get there? also what does the crest do for vespiqueen?
The Lost Castle is the structure located to the north of Goldenleaf Town. You know where the Beheeyem Crest was? It's that place.

Ooh can you tell me which floor we can find it in?
I've only been in the top-most floor that can spawn pokemon, i.e. just before the cliffside. The peak's a Fly checkpoint, which should help with finding the place.

I've got a couple finds just wandering the world while finishing a Shiny hunt I apparently never completed:
Wooloo can be found wandering the overworld in parts of Route 4. I'm not too familiar with how that place works, though, so I can't say when exactly they become available.
SpoilerSandygast has a new Regional Variant... or 3, rather. It's found in Valor Mountain, with a different form for each of the mountain's moods! They're all part-Ghost, with their other Type matching the area's current state.

Yeah, that difference in usage is pretty offputting no matter which order you hear in Rejuv. first and Reborn second, or vice versa. Either way, the song itself is a GlitchXCity Remix (XY's Hyper Training Theme the original), so it doesn't qualify as a valid answer for OPs question.
>Music-Goldenleaf being an original
This... honestly surprised me way more than it should have? One of the big things I noticed when watching a SPMD playthrough after finishing V9 was just how much of the OST is pulled from that game, especially during the Goldenleaf arc, so I guess I unconsciously grouped it in the with the rest? The instrumentation is definitely different in retrospect, though.

For what it's worth, the 'mon doesn't exist in the game's code doesn't mean that it's lore can't be trickled into the game's world- most of the Devs. for RBY had expected something like that to happen with Mew, even.
My concern is how the two parts of Calyrex's identity work here. It does fit in nicely with the Badlands' story beats if you focus on its ability to make plants grow from otherwise barren land ruined by supernatural means (thanks, Spectrier...), but that's secondary to its status as an ancient king... and I highly doubt that the Devs. haven't already determined who and what all of the ancient kings are by now. Calyrex demands to be part of an ancient history that might not have much room for it...
-
It's a possibility, though it's entirely impossible to tell if it'll actually happen until the game is in our court. The Devs. do try their absolute best to kick all of the bugs out of existence by the time the community release is out, but there have been things that slip through the cracks before (decidueye learning Steam Eruption instead of Spirit Shackle in V9, for example). We'll see how it goes when the time comes.

Will Shadow Pokemons return in V13(I mean in next chapter)? Because it must have been a while since there wasn't much Shadow Pokemon owned by Team Xen. Nobody didn't ask for that.
There's a reasonably high chance that we'll see some more of them when we inevitably storm Team Xen's base (which probably isn't too terribly far off now that we know where it is), but I doubt we'll see any actively deployed before hand. At least the amaura added in V12 shows that they're still around.
-
No, you specifically have to partner with Florin for that to happen.

'Allo! I dunno if we can fill in that GF-shaped hole in your heart at all, but nonetheless... Welcome to the Reborn Evolved Forums! Be sure to read up on our rules, feel free to check out all that we have to offer, and above all else, please do enjoy your stay~!

It's a chain of three different choices (who to partner with in Darchlight Cave, spilling the beans once everyone is out of said cave, and revealing the truth to GDC's leadership, respectively) that all add up to losing points with Erin if you choose poorly in all three prompts.
-
The game is still being worked- pretty actively at that- but there hasn't been a new Version yet. V13 was planned to be a bigger update than V12 was from the beginning, and adding in Gen. 8's new goodies is making the already kinda long development cycle even longer. Patience is very much requested at the moment.

Might as well throw some of my experiences into the pile, since they might be helpful for someone.
Alolan Muk- Okay, before you yell at me about how everyone and their mother already uses the living recycling center, here me out: I specifically run Alchemy on mine. That's right, the Doubles-only Ability that requires an ally to die to even function. Turns out that those hoops are surprisingly easy to jump through in this game. I needed something with decent power to sweep the Electric Gym with? Let the Alolan Raichu die to pass Surge Surfer to muk for speedy Poison action*! Random mook giving me a hard time with their bulky, Psychic and Fighting resistant 'mons? Pass medicham's Pure Power over and whack over the head with super-powered Crunches! The Puppet Master's Trick Room and Aelita's blaziken both about to die in the same round**? Hey, a free Speed Boost to keep the TR from coming back out! Heck, there was one fight I only won off of a lucky proc. from my banette's accidentally-transferred Cursed Body. Couple with the right set of Abilities among the rest of the team, Alchemy!muk can really make a splash in the many Double battles the game has.
*This was back when Erick ran Electric Terrain, so I didn't even get the Field bonus at the time...
**Given that the AI was even worse with using Trick Room at the time than it is now, I'm admittedly unsure if it ever clicked the move again to begin with. But hey, insurance is insurance, right?
Salazzle- You know how Jan says that you can fight Fire with Fire against Amber? Uh, yeah, I kinda took that one to heart. Salazzle's blistering Speed, alongside access to Nasty Plot and Magma Drift, made this Gym in particular a lot less troublesome than I thought it'd be. Her most important role was as a suicide lead against Souta, however. The fact that his skarmory can easily one-shot her regardless of what I did meant that the Defense drop from the Telluric Seed didn't matter for her at all, allowing her to easily get away with negating the old man's biggest advantage over me and push the annoying bird down to Sturdy simultaneously- thereby giving my team its only opening to victory. Aside from that, just having a hard-hitting speedster that can shrug off Taunts with ease (a detail the AI refused to catch onto in one fight, R.I.P.) is pretty handy against the many normal enemies in the game- just be careful with Double Battles when packing Magma Drift!
(She also helped out a lot against Crawli, but since that was entirely do to the fact that one of the Shadow Pokémon in the Sheridan scenario was a salandit that learned Water Pulse when Purified back in V9, and was pretty much replaced immediately)
Oricorio- An admittedly recent addition to my team (blame the Crest; it's simple but effective), but the dancebirb has nonetheless pulled its weight handily. Much like salazzle, it's fast and hard-hitting (especially with the Crest), but it also bears a bit more flexibility to go with that power. The Ghost Typing's handy to have for the exploration part of the game thanks to its vast neutral coverage and ability to escape any unwanted Wild Battle, while the Nectars give you the (some limited) ability to adapt for any given battle. Pom-Pom was helpful against the Wailord boss and the lady meditating underwater, Baile finished off the sister at Ground Zero's steelix and used the boost from that to incinerate the rest of her team (especially that ledian; seriously, the Dancer Ability is nuts on the Big Top Field), and Pau let her savage a substantial chunk of Aya's team to boot!
Be careful about using it against Ryland, though- Revelation Dance's Type matches that of oricorio's first one at all times, so effects that change that Type will also change the Dance. This means that his Desert's Mark technique will turn into a Ground Type attack (which his gliscor and claydol are both immune to), on top of making you lose Sensu's ability to swap out despite the Sand Tomb effect- leaving you stuck in a suboptimal position. Yay...
And a bonus, for all you lovely people out there!
From the Ability that brought you Serperior and Lurantis (but not Spinda- we refuse to take responsibility for that blatant knock-off!), we bring you the most outstanding non-Water sea life yet: Malamar! Just like your other favorite Contrary-brand products, Malamar can turn your foes' pathetic attempts at weakening you into power, and transform the downside of powerful attacks into a means of snowballing out of control! But this one can do so much more than the others thanks to a revolutionary new addition to the tried and true formula: Topsy-Turvy! Flip your foes' pathetic attempts at sweeping you into overwhelming weakness! Confound your enemies with a complete reversal of the Type Chart they're familiar with! Deny them of any and all bonuses they received from the battlefield itself! All this power, packed into a single, easy-to-use attack! Unleash the might of the Suspicious Squid Spectacular today!*
*Due to unforeseen scheduling issues, shipment has regrettably been delayed until after the Kristilline Incident. Thank you for your understanding.

This post is made a bit more accurate when you into account that the PMD games call Flinching 'Cringing'. Though, uh, PMD references are decidedly more in Rejuvenation's ballpark that Reborn's…

Uhhh and wait, I thought Team Xen members (at least Grunts, probably not admins) had an X pattern on the chest of their uniforms. As a, you know, secure from the higher ups (Madame X) that they wouldn't betray them. I guess I was wrong lol
The regular Grunts do, but since Eli and Sharon don't seem to be 'regular' Grunts, it's possible that they'd be exempt.
...Except we've seen it used on a Deathwing already, who are a step above these two, and Ren, who's likely a step above other Deathwings due to his status as Nastasia's personal unit, has been threatened with it, IIRC. Though since Ren's isn't visible on him (assuming it's even needed, given his predicament), it could be possible that Eli and Sharon's Xs are simply hidden under their vests?
As for the other character's, Indriad's looking far more sinister than he ever did in the overworld sprites (R.I.P.), Geara looks pretty punchable (don't be so smug, ya dumb illusionist!), Marianette definitely has every right to look as worried as she does, and... I still have no idea how the heck Narcissa's sash-thing works? I know she's not the only character to have one (Champion!Iris sported a pink one in BW2), but doesn't ease up my confusion. I dunno, maybe I just don't understand fashion.

Wait, what was that about the Telepathy Ability? I fought the battle properly, and didn't attack Freya.
Telepathy, it turns out, lets the wielder evade all offensive attacks from its "allies", not just AoEs. As a result, you legitimately can't attack her until Melia and Aelita finally kill the beheeyem without wasting your turn, unless you happen to be using a pokemon with Mold Breaker. This effectively forces you to either play support for her or attack your friends when you don't really want to do either. Yeah...

Well... Ruining a person's life is already a pretty nasty action. I'm going to explain in detail, so spoilers.
There also is the fact that upon an attack on Kenneth's house she wasn't responsible for, she waited for survivors to escape and to push them back into the house, dooming Kenneth's actual daughter Nora.
To be honest, the above statement undersells the Red Haired Girl's involvement with that terrible night quite a bit.
Spoiler-To start with, she made Kenneth believe that Eldest's house was on fire (it wasn't) so that he wouldn't be around to help his family when the real fire started up.
-When he did get back to them (after she personally shoved them off the cliff they were climbing to get away), she twisted things so that Taelia seemed livid that he "abandoned" them when her actual last words were far more loving.
-She later made damn certain he knew exactly how his daughter died, and the terrible implications thereof:
Nora wasn't killed by the fire, or the fall. She was killed by a Yveltal's Devastation attack (from the actual arsonist).
If Devastation manages to kill someone (other than an Interceptor), it completely obliterates their soul.
Nora doesn't get an afterlife.
Nora doesn't get to be reincarnated as a Ghost Type pokemon.
Nora doesn't even get to be chained to the earth as a wandering spirit, or anything else that could potentially have a silver lining.
She's just gone, with nothing left of her to prove that she ever even existed.
Of course, this one terribly tragic evening would only prove to be the catalyst for her following crimes against Kenneth, including:
Spoiler-Tormenting him with 'vengeful' visions of those he failed to protect (including the folks he met in Gearen at the start of the story, IIRC, since he was unaware that all of them survived that fire) persistently in the next few years, while he was already struggling to lead Sheridan Village and raise the child that arose from his wife's death all on his own, in attempt to drive him to suicide through the overwhelming guilt.
-When he sought spiritual help and consequently decided to try and reconcile with his dickwad brother, she chose to arm the guy with Rift Matter of all things, likely in hopes that it would cause the ensuing battle to kill him.
-In addition to the above dirt dealings behind the scenes, she also made Kenneth see his hometown as being completely engulfed in flames upon setting foot on Four Island (granted, he knew that it was just an illusion at that point, but still, what the fuck lady?)
-Only when Kenneth was in an even worse emotional state than before after failing to keep his brother from getting impaled on a frozen stalagmite and having both his name and freedom stripped away from him when he (literally) fell into Madelis' clutches did red-haired antagonist finally decide to explain everything to the poor, broken man- in front of Taelia's favorite tree, because this woman clearly enjoys the suffering of others so, so much.
The whole story's title has a double meaning that becomes painfully clear once you get the true ending. Yes, it's the tale of Sheridan, where a young woman laid in wait for someone who could accept her even with the curse she bore and gladly receive the love she had to give, but it also refers to the fact that everything she and Kenneth had together was based on a lie, a fabrication designed to use them as keys to open the Amethyst Grotto long before the Protectors of Aevium had intended and discard them once that task was finished. Nothing our hero did after the first day in the Region was completely of his own free will, and it ultimately destroyed him and everything he cherished...
The saddest part about it all to me is that I think Kenneth would've been able to prove the Red-Haired Girl wrong on her philosophy of everyone having a "bad end" if she hadn't intervened in his life. He likely would've stuck with Tesla and given his all to helping her achieve her life-long goal of opening an orphanage, And boy would he have helped raise the children as if they were his own- he's proven as much with all of the pokemon he rescues within the game proper. He'd have had friends and an organically-grown family, and while he might not have necessarily been able to leave a lasting legacy this way like he does upon rebuilding Sheridan Village in WLL, he'd still likely have felt fulfilled after helping so many young folk with their lives. Unfortunately, though, Kenneth's happiness also means that Taelia wouldn't have gotten even that much...
To be completely honest, it's because of WLL that the end sequence of V12 hit me as hard as it did. It's hard to oversell just how much I panicked the moment I saw that accursed beheeyem on my side of the battlefield- I straight-up had to leave the game for nearly an hour before I regained my composure enough to continue! ...Only find out that said fight has the singularly most vindictive use of the Telepathy Ability I have ever seen. Seriously, Karma'd better catch up to this lady real soonlike…

It's still kinda unclear what 'Born of man' actually means. It could simply mean 'natural/normal human' which would exclude Ren. But it could also refer to 'created by humanity' in general, so Ren might still be 'born of man', since the mechanical body was created by humans (and his real body is still alive).
"Not born of man" could of course be 'not a natural body' like you say, but it could also refer to "god-given" powers, like the Archetypes. It could as well refer to 'different kinds of humans'. After all, there are a few immortal beings involved in the story, so everyone of them and their children/descendants could be candidates for the Lights as well.
Actually, this gave me a curious thought: what if we're thinking about this completely wrong? We know from Nymeria's Story of the Ancients that many of the first humans- and Indriad especially- put a lot of stock in the difference between humanity and pokemon. With this in mind, it's entirely possible that the four Lights are actually pokemon, with Delpha being the first one we've come across (that we're aware of, anyway). It would certainly fit the divide between sides in that ancient war, at least.
As for where that puts Ren and Reina, there are two trains of thought:
1) the fortune teller didn't specify that they were associated with the prophecy, just that one of them would eventually act in an 'evil' manner (though how that'll work out is a bit of an odd point, considering that both of them have managed to not be blatantly influenced by Goldenleaf Town's... unsavory culture during their childhoods); or2) the Light one of the pair will wind becoming a pokemon somehow.
Keep in mind that this sort of thing does happen in Pokémon's established lore a few times. The most common cases are many Ghost Types being essentially reincarnate spirits of the deceased (and boy would that make for a return that'll catch a lot of folks by surprise; Ren's precarious position also makes it very easy for such a thing to happen in the first place), but it's also worth noting the two cases where someone became a kadabra and the nine "great wizards" that combined to create the first ninetales (sounds like a drawback for botching a Garufan spell within the context of Rejuvenation's lore to me; Gen. 3's Dex Entries were weird sometimes).
Naturally, there's an especially high chance that I'm terribly incorrect with this one, but if I'm actually correct... we're certainly gonna see some seriously surprised spoiler threads on that Version's release~

I was thinking something similar because there are still the dual prophecies and in blacksteeple we see the absol statue with the description of the four darkness, one of them being betrayal, so probably Reina will feel betrayed by Ren and will turn evil.
Building a bit on the Dual Prophecies, there's a relevant detail about them that's been on my mind since V11. They state that the 4 Lights are "not born of man", which highly suggests that they have to be created somehow. Ren's case is a bit of a curious one here- his mind is human, no doubt about that, but his body is mechanical- enough so to confuse even sensitive people like Nim. Considering that we don't know how strict the requirements for becoming a Light actually are, there's a very real possibility that he's 'artificial' enough to count now (which would be kinda ironic, considering that Team Xen recruited him because they thought he was the Darkness of Betrayal). Of course, there's now the possibility that all four of the Light slots are taken up by the fragments of the Archetype, but how lame would that be?
Of course, if Ren's a Light, then that inversely means that Reina's a Darkness (which by definition do have to be 'born of man', or fully human)- and there is some incidental evidence for that. 'Reina' is the Spanish word for 'queen', and those of us who delved into the sidequests not attached to the Help Centers should be pretty familiar with a black-haired queen notorious for her evil deeds in her time. I wouldn't be too surprised to see Giselda attempt to possess the girl or something- surely one the most vicious of the Garufa would be willing to pull off a trick like that, right? Her sisters are still around, after all.
-
Dragapult would easily be a best-case scenario, but one mustn't discount the possibility of becoming a Galarian Yamask instead. Don't you just hate it when you're stuck spending your afterlife attached to a stone that's slowly draining you of all you're worth as it bides its time to completely hijack your very being? And Laborradora does appear to be rather close to the Mirage Tower...
Thankfully, there are more winner Ghost Types than losers, so perhaps it's still worth the gamble? Shoutouts to golurk, which trades 'relentlessly haunting Fern for all eternity' out for 'slamming Fern with a No Guard Dynamic Punch to the face for a satisfying crunching sound'. Seems like a decent alternative for the more aggressive among us, eh?
Have we taken this too far yet??? -

It's like Crescent is telling some propaganda things.
We know for a fact that that's what she pulled- Nim herself practically admits it herself (albeit through her twisted perspective as the victim of the scheme) to Venam and Aelita (the latter of which was part of the Blacksteeple crew, so Nim definitely knows her) when they tried to explain the truth to her. And this ignoring the scene after our failure on Mt. Valor that shows us the part of the conversation where Crescent renames her. (That's another thing to add to Crescent's list of sins, by the way: stripping away another's identity while they're feeling at their lowest. That's just a dirty play right there)
Let's not forget that Crescent's tried to pull a similar bit of manipulation even closer to home. Remember how she tried to convince us that she saved our lives the first time our Interceptor powers kicked in? Sure, we might know that to be utter hogwash nowadays, between triggering it again in the ruined timeline in V10 and perusing the sunken archives in V12, but there was still a substantial amount of time where her claims appeared to be true. Of course, the biggest reason this bit of propaganda failed is that nobody in what was left of our group trusted her worth a hill of beans to begin with...
-
...Y'alls paranoia is probably stressing the 'poor' beheeyem out. That ridiculous degree of manipulation over the course of such a prolonged amount of time has got to be insanely tiring!

A treecko can be found by surfing behind the Sheridan Daycare. You'll need a Gourmet Treat to get it to battle you.
