"This child is traumatized." Uxie began as she scanned the now sleeping child's memories. "Countless have been slaughtered right in front of her." Gladion, Ash, and Ruby had brought the girl and her Poipole up into the tower, and Ruby had called out Uxie to find out more about the girl..

"Can you tell us where she's from? Maybe about her family?" Ash asked. Uxie shook her head.

"She has no family. Most of her memories show that she grew up in an orphanage and was never adopted." Ash and Gladion looked at eachother while Ruby closed her eyes. "As for where she's from... A world beyond the Ultra Wormholes. A city shrouded in darkness known as Ultra Megalopolis."

"A city shrouded in darkness?" Gladion questioned.

"There are memories regarding stories of a monster that came to their world long ago and stole all of its light."

"Necrozma." Ash murmered, remembering what Xurkitree had told him. Uxie nodded.

"Yes, that name does show up. They also call it "The Blinding One"."

"What's her name?"

"Azria, though a girl in the orphanage that she was close to called her "Topo"." Uxie grimaced. "There are vivid memories of said girl being disemboweled by Ultra Beasts."

"Azria, huh?" Ash said. Uxie nodded.

"That Poipole is her partner." She nodded toward the unconcious beast nearby.

"She's a bit young."

"In her world, children recieve their partners at age six." Uxie responded. Ash sighed.

"Even so, we need someone to take care of her." Ruby snapped fingers.

"I have an idea."


Bonnie opened her bedroom door, confused as to why someone was knocking at this hour.

"Hey Bonnie, remember when you said you always wanted a child?" Ruby asked.

"Yes?" Bonnie responded, confused as to where this was going.

"Congratulations! You're a mother!" Ruby pulled the now awake Azria over and pushed her into the surprised blonde's room. "Her name's Azria! Have fun!" With that Ruby scampered off, leaving both Bonnie and Azria wondering what the fuck just happened.


Gladion walked out of the tower, just wanting to turn in for tonight. Unfortunately, fate had other plans.

"And how did you manage to worm your way into that tower?" Gladion froze, gritting his teeth. "Last I checked, only the top trainers are allowed in there." Lusamine frowned. "And you're nothing but a despicable little freak. Or are you just desperate to bed the Princess?"

"Hello mother." Gladion said without even turning around.

"You have no right to call me that. Not after you made off with my Type: Null. Had it over and I MIGHT consider forgiveness."

"Why, so you can use it as a test subject or just freeze them again. I think not." He opened a Pokeball. "Crobat, Supersonic!" The Flying and Poison Type let out a sonic scream, causing Lusamine to clutch her ears in pain. Gladion recalled Crobat and bolted.

"After him!" Lusamine yelled at nearby Aether Grunts, who took off after Gladion. They chased him into an alley, where Lusamine heard a roar, screams, and then the grunts were hurled out like ragdolls. Gladion strolled out like nothing had happened, recalling what Lusamine assumed to be Type: Null. She frowned.


Ruby sat on a bench close to the tower. Mawile lay on the bench snoring softly and Froslass was playing with a ball. Ruby heard footsteps come up behind her before a feminine voice spoke.

"Pardon me." Ruby turned and cocked an eyebrow at the woman's appearance. She was dressed in a white and blue suit and helmet that covered her eyes. She had a similar skin tone to Azria, and an orange braid of hair hung out of her helmet. "I am Zossie, an Admin of the Ultra Recon Squad."

"Never heard of it."

"I wouldn't have expected you too. Now then, onto business. Am I correct to assume that Froslass of yours carries a special power?"

"Why are you asking?" Ruby asked, narrowing her eyes. Zossie held up her hands in defense.

"I mean no harm, there is something I must know, and witnessing this special power will surely help. Perhaps in a battle? I will use a creature from where I am from. You are familar with its pre evolution?" Ruby sighed, standing.

"Fine." She led Zossie to a battlefield, taking her side with Froslass while Zossie took out a Beast Ball, opening it to show a strange, bee like Ultra Beast.

"This is Naganadel, the evolution of Poipole. I call her Nega."

"Really, didn't know Ultra Beast could evolve."

"Poipole is the only known one." She took a battle stance. "Now what is it you say? Begin battle?"

"Close enough... Ice Shard!" Froslass hurled shards of Ice at Nega.

"Nega, dodge and use Venoshock!" The beast responded in kind, moving out of the way and sending poison blasts at Froslass, who swiftly moved.

"Ice Punch!" Froslass mived in at high speeds, slamming her ice coated fist into Nega's chest, sending the beast back.

"Dragon Pulse!" The Poison and Dragon beast sent a blast of draconic energy at Froslass.

"Ominous Wind!" Froslass's horns glowed as she sent a gust of purple wind, intercepting the Dragon Pusle. There was an explosion as dust clouded the field.

"Move in and use Flamethrower!" Nega did as she was told, flying through the dust cloud and blasting Froslass with fire.

"Giga Impact!" Froslass slammed headfirst into the beast, sending it flying back.

"Yes, your strength exceeds the other trainers I've seen. But I must ask you to show me that Froslass' full strength." Ruby rolledher eyes, and a veil of snow erupted around Froslass, dissipating to reveal her transformation. "Yes, just like that! Show me your true strength! Nega, use Draco Meteor!" Nega fired a ball of energy into the air.

"Ice Shard!" The frozen chakram nailed the nall of energy dead on, causing it to explode in balls of ice, landing on Nega and causing severe damage. "Ice Punch." Froslass moved at blinding speeds, nailing Nega in the face, knocking it out. Zossie smiled as she recalled the beast, nodding happily.

"Yes, that is what I needed to see." She turned and began speaking to herself. "That Froslass' power is just like the prophecy said. Could this child really be one of the four pillars? Only three are known to be active at the moment. I must test the strength of the other two active ones, but where is the fourth pillar?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Ruby asked. Zossie jumped.

"Uh... Did you hear any of that?"

"All of it, you were talking pretty loudly."

"Uh... Please ignore that." Zossie took a step back. "Ciao!" She turned and ran, leaving Ruby confused.

"... Fuck it, I'm going to bed."
