"Last time, at the Alter of the Sunne, Nebby was revealed to actually be Solgaleo and Sarah was revealed to be the lost Princess of the Last King and Queen of Alola. With the assistance of all four of Alola's Island Guardians, Nebby was able to open an Ultra wormhole and the heroes were off through it to where Lusamine was taken."


As they passed through the Ultra Wormhole, Nebby swiftly took them to the Ultra Dimension to Lusamine's current location, having an idea of where Nihilego has taken her with his senses and powers heightened in his true form. Time is of the essence and he knew they have to

"How far does this Ultra Wormhole go?" Ash pondered, surprised by how far Nebby's running through it.

"It won't be long now, Mother must be on the other side and already in the Ultra Dimension by now!" Lillie replied as she looked ahead, still determined for everyone, her, and Gladion to find and retrieve Lusamine.

"Are you sure you know where you're going, Nebby?" Sarah asked as she held onto her Sunne Pokemon's mane. "Lusamine could be anywhere in the Ultra Dimension by the time we get there!"

"I'm sure, Mama! It won't be any different for her since she was taken from you guys yesterday!" he shouted through the speed he's going. "Time travels differently between our world and the Ultra Dimension! As soon as we pass through to the other side, the woman and Nihilego's current location should be just straight ahead!"

After several moments of continuing to pass through the Ultra Wormhole, Nebby jumped through the other end that was coming in sight and he and his family and friends found themselves in a desolate and cold part of the Ultra Dimension.

Everywhere they looked, they could see several large fragments of crystal rock platforms scattered around a deep purple cosmic backdrop that looked eerie and dark. Everyone gasped in shock as they looked around the place. It looked beautiful but with a dark and sinister outlook to it.

"We're here!" Ash cried, unable to hold back his shock as well. "This is where I think that woman and Nihilego should be," Nebby warned as he found somewhere flat to land on. "It's cold and desolate with a dark beauty to it, mind how you go as long as we're here. Especially you, Mama, you won't know what may be lurking about."

"Okay Nebby." Sarah stated. Nebby landed blackish and purplish platform below them and everyone got off.

"Woah... freaky..." Sophocles commented.

"No kidding." Ash agreed.

"Pika.." Pikachu added.

"So, this is the Ultra Beasts' world, the Ultra Dimension," Mallow gasped in awe, looking around the place.

"All these gems around us, they're beautiful," breathed Lana, feeling the same way as Lana. "I've never seen gems like these in our world before," Kiawe agreed in amazement.

"The only question is, are they made out of rock or metal?"

"Who knows? No human from our world has ever crossed over to the Ultra Dimension before, until now," James said as he and Nikki stayed close to Sarah and Nebby.

Suddenly, Blitz sensed a familiar presence in front of them as he glared at the intruder, or should I say, intruders around the team. Seeing what Blitz sent as well, Absol, Zorua, and Zeraora got in front of the group and prepared to fight. Sarah's Pokeballs opened at once as all of Sarah's Pokemon appeared to defend everyone as they recognized what was in front of everyone. "Guys! What's going on, why did you all come out?" Sarah gasped as she looked at her Pokemon.

"Mother, look up ahead! We got company!" her Silvally growled. They all looked in front of Sarah's Pokemon, Absol, Zeraora, and Zorua and they were shocked to see a pack of Nihilego floating around.

"ALERT, ALERT! DANGER APPROACHING!" Rotom-Dex panicked. "IT'S A FLEET OF MULTIPLE ULTRA BEASTS!"

"Hey, are all those things Nihilego?" Kiawe asked. "That's them, they're the same kind of Ultra Beast as the one that took my mom, one of what's been called here as the Eleven Ultra Pillars!" Gladion confirmed as he and everyone else glared at them. Lillie looked around for Lusamine but she and the Nihilego that took her weren't among the Nihilego pack in front of them. "Mother... Where is she?" she wondered.

Pokémon Alola Journey – The Alolan Sun Princess


Back at the Altar of the Sunne in the gang's world, Professor Burnet and Professor Kukui made some preparations to give everyone a fighting chance to return home once they have Lusamine back with them. While Burnet made the calculations, Kukui placed a machine on the altar as she worked.

"Now this machine should measure the Ultra Arua from around the Alter." Burnet stated.

Once the machine was ready and she finished the calculations, Professor Burnet activated it as it shot a spark of Ultra Aura, marking where the Ultra Wormhole first opened when Nebby and Sarah used Searing Sunraze Smash. "Well, that should do it," she sighed in content as she and Kukui looked at the spot.

"Burnet, do what?" he asked, confused. "I shot a marker into the spot where the Ultra Wormhole opened after Nebby and Sarah both used Searing Sunraze Slash," she answered. "So they don't get lost on their way back. It's not much but it should give them a fighting chance after they found Lusamine."

"I sure hope they all return home safely with Lusamine in tow," Professor Kukui hoped. He and Burnet knew that Sarah, her adopted parents, the others, and Nebby were her only hope to return back safely and as they know, all they could do in the meantime is wait and hope for the best.

But, also, to have faith in them, knowing that they'll succeed. Back in the Ultra Dimension, as the curious Nihilego floated around the group, they all knew that the first thing they should do is to figure out where Lusamine and the Nihilego that took her would be waiting.

"So, now that we're here in the Ultra Dimension and that none of these Nihilego have Lusamine, what'll we do now?" Lillie wondered. "All we have to do is find out where Lusamine and get her back," Ash deducted with a smile. Lana, however, one big problem they'll be having.

"But, the Ultra Dimension is so big and we've no idea where she is. Where do we start?" she asked worriedly.

"It looks like we're going to have to split up if we have any chance of finding her here," Kiawe suggested.

"Split up? I don't know, getting separated in a place like this scares me," fretted Mallow.

"Usually, you do your research and make sure you're prepared before you go exploring in an unknown world," Sophocles agreed. "But there's no time for that!" Sarah knew this as well before she turned to Nebby, "What do you think, Nebby?"

"We have to stay together and get pass these curious Ultra Beasts to find the women." Nebby said then Nikki's Lucario came out of his pokeball.

"Lucario, what is it?" Lucario closed his eyes and his ear appendages went up.

"What's he doing?" Ash asked.

"I think he's trying to sense Lusamine's aura." Kiawe stated.

"But, who knows where she is? We need a trace of Mother's aura if we're going to have any luck in finding her even if it's a small one," Lillie reminded. "Even if he could pick up her aura, there's no guarantee she'll be close once we start looking," agreed Gladion.

Suddenly, a curious Nihilego bushed a tentacle against Sophocles as he held his head and crouched down, quivering. Sarah could see that he was afraid and had never been in a situation like this so she came over and comforted him as she held his shoulders, making him look at her.

"It's alright, Sophocles," she reassured. "I know it may seem scary. We're all scared of what could happen as long as we're here but I'm sure we all know the perfect way to face our fears head on here."

"Tell me one thing that can cheer us up in a menacingly beautiful wasteland like this!" Sophocles cried. "Why not bring your Pokemon out? You're always at your best whenever they're around! We all are ever since I first met you guys!"

As Blitz got on her shoulder and agreed with some of Sarah's other Pokemon crowding around her human mother to smile at him, Sophocles gasped in realization as he looked at his friend and her Pokemon and it dawned on him. Then, he looked at Nebby as the Sunne Pokemon gazed at him with soft, reassuring eyes, mentally pleading him to trust his human mother. Lillie immediately understood as she summoned Snowy.

"Hey, you're right! Snowy, come out and bring us courage!" she called to her partner. Lana and Mallow agreed as they summoned their partners, "Popplio, you too!" "Alright, let's get it on, Tsareena!" "Charjabug, Togedemaru, let's go!" "Let's blaze a trail, Pyroar, Turtonator!" Sophocles and Kiawe cried as they summoned their partners

"Lycanroc, Rowlet, Torracat, come on out!" Ash screeched.

James and Nikki nodded before they summoned their other Pokemon, "Lycanroc, go!" "Dragonite, Lycanroc, now!"

"Now, come forth, Silvally, Umbreon, Lycanroc!" Gladion shouted to his own partners.

And the gang's pokemon partners came out all together, ready to help them save Lillie's mother. Nikki's Lucario suddenly opened his eyes and grunted towards the others, "Looks like he found her." Silvally said before Lucario ran off. "Lucario, wait!" Nikki called as she went after her.

"Nikki!" "Mom!" James and Sarah called as the others chased after the Aura Pokemon and his trainer.

Everyone raced after Nikki and Lucario, desperately trying to keep up with the Aura Pokemon as he ran over and jumped across several crystal platforms until they stopped behind the two when they felt a strange presence that seemed familiar but has been made dark and menacing.

"What is it, Lucario?" Mallow asked curiously as she looked at Nikki's partner. "Did you find out where Mother is?" Lillie asked hopefully.

"Rwar..." Lucario nodded as he pointed towards one Nihilego that looked completely different from the other Nihilego they previously saw as it floated in front of them from the edge of the platform. Nebby looked closely at the Nihilego until he saw what was in it as he roared.

"Mama, look! On that Nihilego's body!" he shouted. The Nihilego had a woman that looked familiar as it had eight separate black tentacles with eyes at the end of them from its front blobs and the back and the woman that it has as a host wore a hint of a familiar dress with a belt buckle showing the crest of the Aether Foundation in the middle and small streaks of blond across her now black hair.

"Hey, isn't that-?!" Ash gasped as everyone looked at her in shock while she opened her eyes and smiled at them.

"Gladion, it's our mother!" Lillie cried in horror and Gladion gritted his teeth, realizing that Nihilego had merged with her. Sarah turned to Rotom-Dex, realizing that the situation is more dangerous than they originally thought, "Rotom-Dex, scan her! That's got to be Lusamine in front of us!"

"Roger that!" Rotom-Dex saluted as he scanned the possessed woman and scanned through his memory banks for the Lusamine they know. To his shock and amazement, the two of them came out as a match. "It really is Lusamine, the data on both of them is a perfect match!"

"What's happened to her?!" James gasped in horror as his Dragonite growled.

"Nihilego, it's trying to merge with my and Lillie's mother," Gladion snarled as they saw what became of Lusamine after her capture.

"Yikes..!" Sarah winced. "Pika.." Blitz growled with electricity sparking from his cheeks.

Nebby was furious as he roared at the Nihilego possessing Lusamine, unwilling to continue watching what was going on in front of his family and friends. "Nihilego, stop this madness! Release Lillie's mother and return her to us and Mama, at once!" he bellowed as he roared. The Ultra Beast widened Lusamine's eyes in horror when it noticed the Sunne Pokemon and what he and everyone with him wanted.

"No, no! STAY AWAY!" it screamed through Lusamine. Lillie and Gladion gasped in surprise and horror, hearing the pain from Lusamine's voice despite Nihilego talking through her. "You're gonna be sorry that you did that to her, you bastard!" Sarah Silvally screamed angrily at Nihilego as he, his brother, and Blitz faced it down while Pikachu relaxed in surprise. "Don't worry, Mother... I'll save you!" Lillie thought as she then rushed to Lusamine, determined as ever to free her.

"Oh no, Lillie, come back!" Sarah cried as she and Gladion chased after her, trying to stop her before she does anything stupid. "Lillie!" "Hold on, Mother! I'm coming!" called Lillie again as she continued to run towards her mother. "Wait!" Gladion shouted.

"It's too dangerous, Nihilego will use her to destroy you!" "But, Mother's in trouble!" protested Lillie but the possessed Lusamine tensed from her words as Nihilego forced her to summon a storm of shards to block their path. Even going as far as to summon several stalagmites that nearly pierced them, one of them nearly hitting Lillie! "Lillie, look out!" shouted Sarah as she grabbed her friend and shot themselves away just in time. She got back up and nodded with Gladion to stop this from happening.

"Umbreon, use Dark Pulse!" "Milotic, Dragon Pulse!" they called to the Moonlight and Tender Pokemon. Umbreon and Milotic quickly shot their pulse attacks and broke the gem obstacles away, preventing them from doing any more damage and clearing the path forward. "What's that, is it that Ultra Beast's power?" Rotom-Dex asked

"Woah..." Ash gasped. The Ultra Beast snarled at the group before... it released a pokemon! "A pokemon?!" Ash exclaimed.

The Pokémon was a Salazzle. "Mother's Salazzle!" Lillie gasped. Lusamine's Salazzle has a dark aura around it.

"It's possible, by it's appearance..." theorized Gladion as he tried to see what else Nihilego can do while possessing his and Lillie's mother and giving an unknown power to her Salazzle. The others quickly joined them, glad to see that they're okay but badly shaken that Nihilego almost killed the trio and from what its continuing to do with Lusamine as its host.

"What is that Ultra Beast trying to do using Lusamine now that it's captured her?" Mallow questioned. Gladion had a sinking feeling in his heart as he realized what the Ultra Beast was trying to do with her, "I worry that Mother's energy could ultimately be drained if they merged. There are still a lot of things we don't know about the Ultra Beasts, though. I'm just saying that it's a possibility."

"Well, we gotta hurry so let's go!" Ash called before he tried to run towards Lusamine and Nihilego. But, the Ultra Beast floated away out of his reach, which Mallow noticed immediately. "It's getting away!" she cried out to the Kanto trainer as he stopped. Nikki gritted her teeth in frustration as Lucario glared at it, "There's no way we can get her back if it keeps playing with us!"

"They're right, Ash! If we chase after them, it'll only get angry and it'll try to destroy us and merge with Lusamine on the spot!" Kiawe warned. "GO AWAY! I'VE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THIS MOMENT TO FINALLY HAPPEN!" Lusamine begged as she spoke on her own now.

"Lusamine...?" Ash breathed as he tried to get closer.

"We finally met... After all this time, we finally met!" she begged in a childish panic. "No, Lusamine! This is not what you want, don't do this!" he begged.

"YOU BE QUIET! SALAZZLE, ATTACK!" Lusamine bellowed before the Toxic Lizard Pokemon shot forward with Scratch. Sarah gasped before she quickly took the Sun Sword and rushed forward to save him. "Hey, wait!" Ash cried but he gasped in horror to see Salazzle coming at him.

Then the sword started to glow on its own!

"Ash, get back!" Sarah screamed as she pushed him back and swung her Sun Sword at Salazzle, countering her Scratch attack as they caught each other in a deadlock. The Sun Sword continued to glow until a powerful, transparent wave of light that sent the ultra-powered Fire/Poison Type back.

Under Nihilego's influence, she saw the young princess and her sword and prepared to fight again but when she saw her weapon glowing, she gasped in shock before she retreated to protect her possessed trainer flying away across a string of rocks her controlled trainer conjured up. "Lusamine, please!" Sarah called as she rushed forward, desperate to save her friend. "Mother!"

"Mama, wait!" her Silvally and Nebby called as everyone ran to follow her and keep her in their sights. "Hey, wait! Sarah!" Ash cried as he and Pikachu tried to catch up with her. But, Sarah was already going too fast for them while the others passed them by. "What's going on with Lusamine?" Sophocles asked, confused by Lusamine's tantrum.

"She's acting like a child!" Lana agreed.

Mallow had to agree as well, "Yeah, it's not like her to act this way!"

"You think Nihilego could've done something to her after she was kidnapped?" Nikki pondered. "Maybe she's being controlled," Kiawe theorized. But, having known their mother their whole lives, Lillie and Gladion knew what was really up with her.

"Maybe, but some of what she say is actually true! Some of her words came straight from her heart!" Gladion spoke on his and Lillie's behalf.

"What are you saying, Gladion?" James asked, surprised by what he said.

"My mother's been doing research on the Ultra Beasts including Nihilego because she always wanted to see their world and come in contact with them! And, her wish had come true!"

"But, it's trying to merge with her!" Kiawe protested.

"She probably isn't thinking about it that way!" Gladion retorted.

"It's like she finally got the toy she's been yearning for her whole life!" "Huh, a toy?!" Ash cried.

"Yeah, maybe Nihilego is trying to learn about Mother just as much as Mother wants to learn about it." Gladion added.

Lillie grunted in agreement, even though she and Gladion hated to think on that. "In the state Mother's in, she probably thinks we're the bad guys trying to take her precious toy away.

What's worse, Mother must be pouring much of her own feelings to it so it thinks that she's its new toy, too. And now, it's probably thinking the same way as she is!" The possessed Lusamine and Salazzle stopped at another platform just as Sarah confronted them with everyone else coming from behind her, still reeling from what Gladion had told them over Lusamine's obsession with the Ultra Beasts.

"Lusamine, please! This can't go on forever! Even if your dream did come true, you must realize that it comes at the cost of your own children!" Sarah shouted, desperate to not use violence against her unless the situation calls for it.

"How could they compare to this?" Lusamine asked, still in her controlled and crazed state. "I've waited far too long for my dream to come true and now that I know what the Ultra Beasts are capable of and how beautiful they really are, they mean everything to me!"

"Cut the theatrics!" screamed Sarah, losing patience. "You're coming back home with us and your children whether you like it or not!"

"That's right!" Lillie agreed as she joined her friend. "And, I'll do everything I can to save you and help make you better!" Everyone else behind them nodded in agreement, sharing the same glares on their faces. Lillie and Sarah nodded to each other, deciding to take action.

"Snowy!" "Snowflake!" they called to their two Ice Types. "Twin Powder Snow!" the two girls shouted as their Vulpix used their Ice Type attacks and sent a unified flurry of snow at Lusamine and Salazzle.

"Vul...PIX!"

"NO, STOP! I BEG YOU, STAY AWAY!" panicked Lusamine as she conjured up a crystal barrier and shielded herself and her Pokemon from the twin attack.

"Oh, no! Our Twin Powder Snow didn't faze it!" Lillie cried as Sarah understood. "She's not making this easy."

Then Lusamine floated away again, "She's getting away!" Mallow gasped.

"STAY AWAY!" Lusamine called and she conjured up another large crystal barrier blocking the groups path.

"Woah..!" Ash gasped. "Turtanator, Use Flamethrower!" "Pyroar, Overheat!" Kiawe called and the two pokemon used their attack but it didn't break the crystal.

"Lycanroc, use Stone Edge!" Gladion called and his Lycanroc used Stone Edge and it connected with the crystal but still didn't break it. "It's tougher than it looks." Gladion grunted.

"It didn't do a thing!" Sophocles cried, gobsmacked that none of Gladion's Lycanroc, Pyroar, and Turtanator's attacks made a dent just as Snowy and Snowflake's Powder Snow attacks didn't break through.

"Oh no!" Mallow agreed, unable to believe what she's seeing. Lillie and Sarah were getting worried as they couldn't help but wonder what Lusamine really is going through.

"My poor mother, what she said before and what she's thinking about isn't making much sense," Lillie pondered, her glare still on her face. Sarah wanted to do something to help Gladion and Lillie get their mother to come to her senses and break through the crystal barrier but she wasn't sure how until she saw Nebby approaching the barrier.

"Nebby- what are you-?" she asked before her grown-up Pokemon turned to her and nodded in reassurance. "Don't worry, Mama, I got this." He roared and covered himself in a bright aura that's not as bright as it was when he and Sarah used Searing Sunraze Smash but from an attack similar to it. Everyone was in awe from his new appearance and attack as he nodded to them and charged.

"Incredible!" Sophocles cried in amazement.

"Go get 'em, Nebby!" Sarah called, encouraging her Sunne Pokemon. "Your walls won't stop me or my Mama, lady! Sunsteel Strike!" Nebby bellowed as he charged through the crystal barrier and destroyed it with ease. Sarah cheered loudly for him while everyone else gaped in shock and surprise by how little effort it took with just one attack for their friend and Sarah's Pokemon child to shatter through the barrier like glass. "Great, now let's get going! Lusamine!" Ash called before he rushed forward again.

"Leave me alone, YOU MEDDLING BRAT! OR, I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING FRIGHTENING!" Lusamine bellowed angrily before the influenced Salazzle went forward and faced the group again to stop them. "Gladion, is Mother's Salazzle trying to stop us?" Lillie asked her brother.

"Yes, but she's under Nihilego's power as well," he confirmed.

"That explains the aura around it." Sarah stated. Salazzle unleashed a Venoshock attack at the group, but Kiawe countered, "Pyroar, Flamethrower!"

"Pyroar!" Pyroar roared and he countered the Venoshock attack as Lusamine floated away again. "You guys go on ahead, I'll take care of Salazzle."

Quang26943Yesterday at 4:59 PM

"Kiawe!" Ash protested, not wanting to leave Kiawe and his partners behind. But, Salazzle isn't keen on letting Kiawe's friends coming for her trainer and she quickly acted, covering the field in acid as it reached out to them. She was using Venom Drench against them! "Turtonator, use Dragon Tail!" "Pyroar, stop her with Flame Charge!" Kiawe bellowed and his two Fire Types obliged, clearing the way for everyone to continue towards Lusamine. Turtonator forced Salazzle to cancel her Venom Drench attack when he swung his Dragon Tail at her but Pyroar immediately took advantage of her folly and unleashed Flame Charge as he shot at the Toxic Lizard Pokemon and knocked her down. "Ash, come on, we have to trust Kiawe!" Mallow told the Kanto trainer.

"But, Kiawe-AH!" Ash started before Sarah and Lillie grabbed and dragged him away as they and everyone else continued on, leaving Kiawe, Pyroar, and Turtonator to deal with Salazzle in the meantime.

"Good luck, Kiawe! Don't die!" Sarah called as they left. Kiawe smirked as he gave a thumbs up, "We'll be fine, Sarah! Now, get out of here!" They quickly ran to keep up with Lusamine but she was floating away at too fast a speed for them to catch up to her. Nebby realized this as he turned to Sarah and the others.

"Mama, you're too slow on foot! Get back on and I'll carry you to her!" he shouted as he stopped and lowered himself for everyone and some of their Pokemon to ride on while the rest would have to run or in Dragonair, Dragonite, Vibrava, Noctowl, and the Meowstic Pair's cases, fly.

"Nebby! Are you sure?" Sarah asked as her former baby Pokemon nodded firmly. "Yes, I'm sure, it's faster this way! Come on, hurry!" The young princess nodded as she got back on the Sunne Pokemon and her parents and friends followed her while taking Snowy, Popplio, Togedemaru, Charjabug, and the Unova Starters. Snowflake had to ride on Vibrava's back while Sarah's other younger Pokemon got on Mudsdale, her Silvally, and Milotic.

Lusamine floated over to another platform. "There she is!" Ash called and then she released two more Pokémon... a Milotic and a Mismagus! The two were also had a dark aura around them.

"Mother's Milotic and Mismagus!" Lillie gasped.

Quang26943Yesterday at 5:37 PM

"They're part of mother's cherished Pokemon, the ones she held so dear to her heart..."

"STOP IT! I HATE YOU, YOU MEDDLING KIDS! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" screamed Lusamine in a panic as she floated away. "Mother! What are you doing?!" Lillie screamed back angrily, feeling more fed up with Lusamine acting like a big baby. "You don't know what you're saying, you don't mean that!"

"That aura," Gladion observed as he saw Lusamine's Tender and Magical Pokemon. "It's the same power that Salazzle was under the influence of. It's making them twice as strong and they'll do anything to protect her as long as they're under Nihilego's control."

Then, Lusamine's Milotic and Mismagius used a combo attack using Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt, forcing the group to dodge.

"Alright, that's it! Popplio, use Bubblebeam!" Lana snapped as Popplio shot bubbles at the two opposing Pokemon. Mallow joined in along with Tsareena, "Tsareena, dance away with Magical Leaf!" "Tsar!" Tsareena agreed as she sent out a flurry of glowing leaves. However, Mismagius used Protect to shield herself and her partner before she emerged from the explosion to launch another Thunderbolt.

"Togedemaru! Charjabug, stand by!" Sophocles called as he joined his two friends to stay behind and keep Lusamine's two other Pokemon occupied. As fast as she could, Togedemaru used her Lightning Rod ability to absorb the Thunderbolt Mismagius launched before she finished and landed on Charjabug, the Bug Type ready to assist his partners when ready.

"Togedemaru, nice work!" Nebby, safely keeping his mother, her parents, and their remaining friends on his back, landed safely as everyone watched Mallow, Lana, and Sophocles stay behind.

"Guys, no!" Ash shouted. "Ash, we'll take it from here, you guys go on ahead!" Mallow reassured him. Tsareena agreed while Zoura translated what she said later which took her by surprise. "She says they're ready to squash them so we should act like a banana and split," she said.

"But guys..." Ash said worried for this friends. "Ash, come on, they'll be alright I know they will." Sarah called to him. Ash reluctantly nodded and chased after Lusamine once more.

As Mallow, Lana, and Sophocles, along with their Pokemon combated against Mismagius and Lusamine's Milotic as best they can, the others continued on their way to Lusamine and Nihilego before they fully merge together and snap her back to reality. As much as Lusamine tried her hardest under Nihilego's power to get them to back off, they just keep up coming as they jumped on the rocks and platforms she conjures up with Sarah slicing down a few that threatened to hurt her family and friends riding on Nebby with the Sun Sword.

Still, she decided to issue them another challenge as she released two more of her Pokemon to stop them in their tracks. This time, she unleashed her own Disaster Pokemon, Absol, and her Flowering Pokemon, Lilligant, to bar them from continuing with Lilligant using Pedal Dance to disorientate them.

The Absol assisting Sarah growled at Lusamine's Dark Type for having fallen to the dark side under the influence of an Ultra Beast. "Absol!" Gladion cried in shock. It looked as though the Dark Type trainer and Lillie knew Lusamine's Absol along with Lilligant as they gaped at them.

"I take it you know this Absol unlike the one that's with us along with Lilligant?" Sarah asked Gladion, curiously. "That's right, that Absol of my mother's was Umbreon's master and her fellow training partner," he replied. "He taught her everything she knew."

"And, Mother's Lilligant, she was usually the one to help her out at the garden whenever they would see us back home," Lillie added in solemn remembrance. Lusamine's Absol used Psycho Cut but Gladion was quick to counter, "Umbreon, use Dark Pulse!" "Bre!" Umbreon called as she blocked the Psycho Cut using her Dark Pulse. But, they weren't fast enough to counter Lilligant's Petal Blizzard before an Electro Ball, a Rock Slide, and a Thunder Wave blocked it.

"Ash, Gladion, James!" Lillie cried in shock.

Ash turned to the girls, "We'll be fine! Get going!" "We'll take care of these guys," Gladion reassured.

"Right.." Lillie said. "Dad!" Sarah called in worry. "James!" Nikki added with worry. Dusk and Midnight's mother cried in worry for her mate.

"I'm alright, Ponchita, Honey! Don't worry, I'll join you as soon as we put these two to rest!" James promised. "Mama, please!" Nebby begged, feeling her worry for her adopted father.

"We got to go, now!" Sarah wanted to stay and help James but she knew that they have to get to Lusamine if they're going to save her from Nihilego. She steeled herself and nodded with a determined face, deciding to trust him and Nebby.

"Okay, Nebby, keep going," she ordered before the Sunne Pokemon continued on his way and the rest of her Pokemon followed him and his remaining passengers. But, not before she called out one last time to James, "Good luck, Dad, you got them! I love you!" James smiled before he, Gladion, and Ash glared at Lusamine's Dark and Grass Type Pokemon along with their own.

"Any ideas on how we can beat them?" James whispered to Gladion. "Not much but hopefully, we'll keep them at bay and then, we'll give them the jump to knock them back into their senses," Gladion whispered back. "I'm all for helping them out all the way," Ash said as she and his Pokemon got ready.

"Pikachu, let's go!" "Lycanroc, Umbreon, Silvally, charge!" "Lycanroc, Dragonite, it's Morphin Time!" Gladion and James shouted as they followed Ash's lead and prepared to defeat Lusamine's Absol and Lilligant.


Meanwhile...

Lillie, Nikki, and Sarah are left along with their remaining Pokemon as they confronted Lusamine yet again on another crystal platform. But, Lusamine was in a complete panic; she couldn't understand why her own daughter and the girl she entrusted Nebby to along with the latter's mother and their friends were all trying to rescue her when she thinks she didn't need it.

"Why do you keep getting in my way?! STOP FOLLOWING ME, YOU IMBECILES!" she raged under Nihilego's influence as she sent out her final Pokemon. "I HATE YOU, I HATE ALL OF YOU!"

It was a Pokemon Lillie herself knew very well; it was none other than her mother's Clefable, the Fairy Pokemon.

"Mothers Clefable..." Lillie gasped seeing the fairy type Pokémon.

"Lillie...?" Sarah gasped. "Clefable..." Lillie said walking towards Clefable.

"Fable..." Clefable growled at Lillie.

Lillie stopped when she realized that she was under Nihilego's influence as well. She glared back, knowing that this was her fight to face and that only she can bring her back but she knew she needed help so she turned to Nikki and nodded to her, mentally asking her for her help in this fight.

Nikki knew what her daughter's friend wanted so she jumped off of Nebby and joined her as they faced down the dark-influenced Fairy Pokemon together with Dusk and Luna's mother and Lucario by their and Snowy's side.

Sarah knew that it wasn't her fight despite wanting to stay with her adopted mother as well so she once again made the tough decision to leave her and Lillie behind.

"Mom, Lillie, are you sure you want to do this?" she asked, wanting to be sure of their decision. Lillie and Nikkie sent her determined looks, knowing that they made their choice as well. "Of course, Sarah! Nikki and I will take it from here," reassured Lillie confidently.

"If we knock some sense back into Clefable, she can help us get Mother back!"

"We'll join you as soon as we get her back," added Nikki. But then, she narrowed her eyes at her adopted daughter, wanting her to know something. "Sarah, you have to be the one to save Lusamine. You're the only one right now who's capable of doing so as well as Lillie. You do what you can to set her free and we can get her back."

"Mom..." Sarah gasped as she listened to her adopted mother in surprise. "Trust me, it's you and you alone along with Lillie that have to save Lusamine from Nihilego and her own dream eating away at her, I know it! Not me, not your father, not your friends, you!"

Sarah was stunned by her mother's words before she looked towards Lillie for any confirmation, which she provided with a determined glare and nod, mentally promising to join her later. Sarah took a deep breath and nodded back before she looked to where Lusamine will be at.

"Come on, Nebby, let's go! POKEMON, HO!" she shouted, pointing her sword.(edited)

"Right Mama!" Nebby roared proudly before he and the remaining Pokémon went off after Lusamine.

After seeing Nebby, Sarah, and her Pokemon off, Lillie and Nikki, joined by Luna and Dusk's mother, Snowy, and Lucario faced down Clefable to break her free from Nihilego's influence.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing, Lillie?" Nikki asked.

"Yes, Nikki. Out of all my mother's Pokemon, Clefable was my closest friend," replied Lillie confidently.

"She's always been there for me whenever Mother couldn't be. And now, I'm going to save her, too!" Clefable first fired Moonblast at Lillie but Dusk and Luna's mother cancelled the Fairy Type attack using Accelerock, growling at the Fairy Pokemon for daring to attack her own friend under Nihilego's power.

"Thank you, Lycanroc!" Lillie thanked. "We can't keep defending ourselves forever, though!" Nikki said as she saw Clefable now using Dazzling Gleam as she charged forward!

"Lycanroc, Accelerock! Lucario, Bone Rush, now!" Luna and Dusk's mother quickly used Accelerock to stop Clefable's assault while Lucario summoned a glowing blue-green bone from his paws, using it like a Chinese staff.

"Snowy, Powder Snow, let's go!" Lillie called next as the little Alolan Vulpix halted her.

This annoyed Clefable as she used Dazzling Gleam again but Lucario charged forward and used Bone Rush at her before pummeling her over and over until he jumped back to the girls. The Fairy Type growled as she didn't want to lose until Lillie took matters into her own hands.

"Clefable, look at this!" she demanded, holding a Clefairy doll before walking to her. "You see, I'm not very good at battling. So, I'm going to have to battle you in my own way." "Lillie, be careful!" Nikki called as she, Snowy, Lycanroc, and Lucario watched.

"Clefable, remember how it used to be, how you and I used to play with this Clefairy doll all then time when I was a little girl?" Lillie continued, recalling the fun times they had together while she was growing up.

"Do you remember how we had so much fun while we were playing House together every day?"

"Fable...?" Clefable growled softly.

The possessed Clefable couldn't take it anymore as she tried to remember, straining herself to her mental limits as Lillie recalled all the fun they had before the UB incident until she began to use Dazzling Gleam again to force Lillie away from her. "Faaaa...?!"

"Lillie, watch out!" "Rawr!" "Vul!" "Lycan!" Nikki and their Pokemon cried. They tried to run and grab her but Lillie held out her hand and stopped them, telling her companions to stand back and let her handle things. Then, she hugged Clefable as she was engulfed in the Dazzling Gleam attack while the others could only watch helplessly. But, Lillie wasn't bothered, she continued to hug her best friend, asking her to remember everything they went through. "Clefable, can you remember please?" she asked, smiling softly. "Come on, touch our Clefairy doll. You can do it, I know you can!"

The Fairy Pokemon was torn from Nihilego's influence and her heart, which was slowly responding to Lillie's warmth and her calls. It didn't know which to follow as it was going through an identity crisis until Lillie spoke again. "Even though you're controlled by an Ultra Beast, I know you haven't forgotten in your heart. Those wonderful days, so sweet, days that we're never going to forget. All the laughter, the joys, the fun times we shared, it's all there in our own chain of memories..."

She hugged her best friend tighter, knowing that she'll reach her and that whatever they did will stay with them forever. "I won't let you go; you, Mother, and all the other Pokemon we love with all our hearts..." she promised.

"I've got to have you all back!" This was all too much for the possessed Fairy Type; Clefable unleashed her Dazzling Gleam attack, to Snowy's horror as she called to Lillie while Nikki and her Pokemon could only watch helplessly. But, Lillie was unharmed as she continued to happily hug her best friend.

"Clefable, I love you," Lillie said. That did the trick as Clefable finally remembered.

Cefable remembered all the times she played and cared for Lillie when her mother wasn't around and playing with the little Clefable doll of hers. The dark aura vanished from Clefable's body and she smiled. "Fable..."

"You do remember, don't you?" Lillie cried happily as the freed Fairy Pokemon cheered, remembering her best friend as well. Lillie giggled as Nikki and the Pokemon all smiled with joy and relief, Nihilego's influence on Clefable was broken and it was Lillie's love for her and how they were as a family that brought her back to them.

But, while Lillie and Clefable happily shared their reunion, Nebby, Sarah, and her Pokemon all continued towards Lusamine when the young princess felt a warmth in her heart and looked back feeling as though Lillie had succeeded in saving Lusamine's Clefable. Her other Pokemon felt it in their own hearts, too.

"What was that?" Silvally asked as he kept running.

"Lillie... She did it," Sarah breathed before she held her heart and smiled knowingly.

"She did it, she and Mom saved Clefable!"

"Now, the only person we have to save is that lady she calls her mother," Nebby noted. "We've got to break her free from Nihilego's power, Mama! For Lillie's sake!"

"Right! Hang on, Lusamine, we're coming for you! Your children are crying out for you and we're going to take you back! Prepare yourself!" Sarah declared as she, Nebby, and her Pokemon pressed on as they saw Lusamine staring at them in horror as they drew closer and closer.

Sarah knew this was it; with the final battle, Lusamine's ultimate fate would be determined. Can she and her Pokemon family break her free from Nihilego's influence or will she be doomed to remain with it in the Ultra Dimension for all time? No one knows for sure but they'll do all they can to bring her back for Lillie and Gladion!

"And so, it's Sarah the Sun Princess vs the possessed Lusamine in the ultimate battle that will determine the fate of Lillie and Gladion's mother! Will Little Sarah and her Pokemon along with Nebby succeed in bringing Lusamine back into the light from the dark side and break her free from Nihilego's deadly power? Find out in the upcoming ultra showdown as the journey continues!"
