Rainbow Rocket was successfully driven out of Alola, but that was only the gateway to an even bigger problem. The chain reaction of so many Ultra Wormholes opening in a single location prompted more to open up; Guzzlord's dropping through them to invade the already damaged Aether Foundation. Lusamine could see the situation growing worse as they were out of the oven and into the frying pan. "No, this can't be happening…!"

Moon and Lillie weakly stood up. They were caught in the crossfire when fighting RR Giovanni and his Mewtwo so they were somewhat injured. "Mother, what's wrong…?" Lillie questioned. "How can we help?"

"There are multiple Guzzlords roaming about the facility!" Lusamine exclaimed just as Wicke and Faba rushed in. "There are only two, but still, this is a nightmare…!"

"Let us help!" Moon said, only to immediately flinch from her injuries.

"I can't." Lusamine shook her head. "You two and your Pokémon are hurt and I will not risk you suffering anymore injury." Without even realizing it, that demanding motherly tone was directed towards Moon as well.

"So are you!" Moon fired back. Which was true, as Lusamine took the brunt of an explosion for Lillie.

"I know…" Lusamine winced and held her arm. "But your safety is important! I don't want my daughter hurt, nor do I want to send Moon back home with less pieces than she came with!"

"Is everyone alright!?" Wicke held her hand in front of her mouth. "My word, what happened here…!?"

"A lot…" Scott sighed. "Listen, you all stay here. I'll go help with…whatever those things are." With that said, he hurried off with Abra to assist the others.

"All this property damage…it's going to be a nightmare to fix…" Faba groaned.

Lusamine pressed a button on her desk; luckily the intercom system was still working. She could use this chance to speak to everyone. "Everyone, be careful! If you can, please force those Guzzlords back into their Ultra Wormholes! It's the only way to get rid of them, they are too strong otherwise!"

.

.

Outside the building, Kiawe, Mallow, Sophocles, Lana, Kasumi, Lovrina, Grace, and Takeba had the displeasure of watching a Guzzlord fall on top of their location as they were dealing with Matori and Team Rocket! "What is that thing!?" Takeba shrieked and pointed at the Guzzlord. Who let out an inhumane roar.

"Guzzlord! It's a very powerful Ultra Beast!" Mallow quickly explained.

"How powerful are we talking here…?" Lovrina questioned.

"Ash said it completely destroyed a different world's Melemele Island, despite all the resistance in the world fighting it!" Lana said. Just after she said that, one of Guzzlord's pincers extended, tearing a gigantic piece of debris out of the wall to consume it. "Ah…!"

"AHHHHHHH!" Guzzlord roared while turning its attention to the Ultra Guardians. Considering they had been through Ultra Wormholes before, it sensed an oddly familiar presence about them. Because of that, it was on high alert and opted to attack.

"EW!" Rui shook her head. She did not like this one bit.

"I hate this. Why is everything in this region so deadly!?" Kasumi groaned. "How do we fight it!?"

"It sounds like you have a problem to deal with." Matori adjusted her glasses as the Team Rocket grunts filed back into the airship. Though an engine was damaged, it could still fly, though weakly. "So you all enjoy that."

"Wait! Where do you think you're going!?" Grace wasn't about to let Team Rocket escape, but she was interrupted by a Dragon Pulse from Guzzlord that utterly destroyed a large section of the landing platform. "Gah…!?"

"Holy…!" Takeba gasped. All they could do was watch as Team Rocket escaped, leaving them to deal with this otherworldly monstrosity.

"We've got no choice but to fight it…!" Kiawe grunted, staring up into the sky. "Its Wormhole is still here…so we have to push it back in there! If we don't, it'll completely destroy this place."

"That's not a lot of pressure or anything." Lovrina flipped her hair. "But we don't have any other way out!"

.

.

"What on earth is going on out there?" Ein poked his head out of a room, only to see Guzzlord. "Oh! An Ultra Beast has arrived! This timing is rather fortuitous for us."

"Huh? That massive thing? How so?" Dakim was ready to fight it.

"This is the perfect distraction we need to get to the President's room." Ein explained. He spotted Venus and Ferma as well. "Hm…I need you to stay here and provide Venus and Ferma backup if things get dangerous. This third party is bent on consuming everything in its path."

"Say less." Dakim just gave a wild grin. He'd stay back for now, but the chance to throw hands with a gigantic monster? He loved the thought.

While that was going on, Ash, Gladion, Marcus, Elizabeth, Jessie, James, Venus, Meowth, Acerola, Venus, and Ferma were staring at Guzzlord in shock. "I hate everything about this creature!" Marcus pointed out.

"You heard Lusamine! Push it back to where it came from!" Elizabeth frantically looked around. "Which is…"

"Up there." Venus pointed up with a groan.

"Wh…why are you here!?" Marcus glared at Venus, just now realizing she was there.

"Don't worry about it." Venus flipped her hair. "I'm more concerned about getting rid of this HIDEOUS abomination!" Just as she said that, Guzzlord fired off a Dark Pulse that ripped through the lower labs, causing everyone to duck for cover as a numerous explosions took place. "Nothing that ugly deserves to live on the same WORLD as I do!"

"I hate that she's right!" Jessie groaned.

"You and me both…" Ferma rolled her eyes.

"But how do we get it back up those floors!?" Acerola asked the important question.

"We'll find a way!" Gladion replaced the Ground Memory within Silvally for a Fairy Memory.

"Guzzlord is a Dark/Dragon type! Fairy Type moves are particularly effective, roto!" Rotom was giving everyone the information they needed to know to combat this monster.

All Marcus could do was groan. This was becoming a little ridiculous. "I was hoping we'd get at least a second to breathe, but apparently the world wants to fall apart today!"

.

.

"Marowak, Bonemerang!" Kiawe commanded. Alola Marowak wasted no time flinging its special bone at Guzzlord, scoring a direct hit. The bone struck its mark, rebounding so it could be caught. This only succeeded in enraging Guzzlord even further. "I don't think that worked…!"

"I think it just made it angrier!" Takeba shook her head. "Blastoise, Hydro Pump!" Blastoise dropped down on its hands and knees for proper footing, planting itself firmly onto the ground while pointing its two cannons forward. Two powerful jets of water erupted forward, striking Guzzlord directly in the mouth…which didn't do anything since it was just consuming the attack. "Ha whuh!?

"It's like a black hole…" Grace surmised. "Does this thing have a limit on what it can eat!?"

"Based on the data Rotom gave us a while back, no." Sophocles shook his head.

"So you're saying this thing is just a juiced up Snorlax that never stops!?" Lovrina hated the sound of that.

"And that's why we have to stop it! Magical Leaf!" Mallow threw her hand forward while calling out the attack.

"Zap Cannon!" Sophocles followed up. Both Tsareena and Vikavolt fired off their attacks that landed against Guzzlord's side, causing an explosion, but it didn't budge. "Nothing!?"

"Sandy, Double Edge!" On Lana's command, Sandy sprang forward, leaping high into the air to avoid Guzzlord's gigantic mouth and slam its tiny body into its small head! Before Sandy could even jump back, one of Guzzlord's protruding teeth clamped down on Sandy, now preparing to bring it into its mouth. "SANDY NO…!" Lana screamed in horror, rushing to try and stop what was about to happen.

"Dragon Rush!" Kasumi was quick to call this out. Dragonite cloaked itself in draconic energy, slamming its body into Guzzlord's back with such force it released Sandy, who flew into Lana's arms.

"Thank you so much!" Lana let out a sigh of relief at Kasumi's action, but the Team Skull girl just looked away. Scott's Darmanitans followed up on Dragonite's attack, cloaking their fists in their respective ice and fire element, punching Guzzlord with enough force to make it step back once.

"…." Guzzlord registered that it was hit, but it more so registered the fact that it lost a meal more. That made it angry. So angry, in fact… "AHHHHHHHHH!" Roaring out, Guzzlord began stomping on the ground furiously. These stomps were incredibly powerful, causing ripples in the water nearby and made the facility as a whole tremble, several parts of it breaking apart from the sheer force of this Stomping Tantrum. Any Pokémon or person not airborne was knocked onto their backs, damaged by the severity of the shockwaves Guzzlord caused. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"It's so strong…!" Rui cried out. "Umbreon, Shadow Ball! Espeon, Swift!" The two Eeveelutions sprang into action despite their new injuries; Umbreon firing off an orb of darkness, while Espeon fired off numerous stars. Both of these attacks just ended up going into Guzzlord's mouth. "It just ate them!?"

"This is getting old fast! Ninetails, freeze it with Blizzard!" Ninetails howled, calling upon the power of icy winds to consume Guzzlord. It wasn't able to consume such a large scale attack like this and its body was slowly being frozen over, much to its dismay. "It's mouth may be large, but we can still unleash attacks bigger than it can handle!" Lovrina felt a bit confident, until Guzzlord roared out again, simply breaking free from the ice. "Huh!?"

"AHHH!" Guzzlord then leaned forward and Belched. It consumed so much within such a small timeframe, this attack was unreasonably strong, pushing everyone backwards a great distance.

"This thing is way too strong…!" Takeba groaned. "And we're supposed to lift it up somehow!? How in Alola are we going to do that!?"

"Not with that attitude!" Rui said. Someone had to say it.

"Primarina, use Icy Wind!" Primarina nodded and exhaled a small, but powerful frost at Guzzlord's feet, keeping it firmly rooted to the ground via ice. Guzzlord wasn't going to stay very stuck for long, but it was an opening.

"Iron Tail!" Grace commanded. Salamance flew forward, whipping its tail across Guzzlord's face with a moderate amount of power. It still didn't budge, so it was hard to discern if damage had been dealt. But it was better than not attacking at all.

"Eat this! Aura Sphere!" Blastoise fired off an Aura Sphere that looked like it was about to go into Guzzlord's mouth. But at the last second it whipped around to strike it in the back, causing it to stagger forward. Grinning, Takeba had Blastoise keep this rapid fire barrage up, landing numerous blow after blow on Guzzlord. But the Ultra Beast got fed up and used its two teeth to catch and destroy two incoming spheres, firing back while tilting its body upwards, an orange sphere of energy forming within its gigantic mouth.

"Oh crap, everyone GET BACK!" Grace shouted. Guzzlord unleashed this gigantic sphere into the air, watching as it took the form of a meteor, breaking apart into dozens of rocks that descended down.

"DID THIS THING JUST DRACO METEOR US!?" Takeba shrieked once more.

"Draco Meteor!" Kasumi attempted to do the same thing. Dragonite fired off its own Draco Meteor to mitigate what was falling, but in terms of sheer power, it fell short. Despite numerous meteors exploding in the sky, some of Guzzlord's still fell through and exploded on the group, throwing them back while setting the landing port of the Aether Foundation ablaze. "Ugh…"

"Damn it…" Rui winced. "This thing really is a monster…" Guzzlord let out another roar before turning around, picking apart the Foundation piece by piece just to eat it.

"How can we stop it…?" Lana asked while helping pick Mallow up. They were running out of stamina and options.

"Flamethrower!"

"Pin Missile!"

Those two attacks suddenly crashed into Guzzlord's back, forcing it to turn around out of anger. Guzma and Plumeria arrived. "Who invited this ugly thing?" Guzma was keeping cool on the outside, but on the side, having never seen an Ultra Beast, he was internally freaking out.

"It's hideous." Plumeria scoffed.

"Boss! Plum!" Kasumi's eyes lit up. "Took you guys long enough! You missed the fun! This is…a nightmare."

"Messin' with my squad still?" Guzma kept his hands in his pockets, standing behind his Golisopod. "It can go down too."

"We have to send it up, actually…" Kasumi pointed at the Ultra Wormhole. "But it's way too strong…"

Scott finally made it outside. "Hope I'm not too…yikes…" He made it in time…time being the operative word. The outside was completely on fire with that monster Guzzlord in the center of it all. This was only one…and there was another one inside the building as well!? This was a nightmare.

Takeba was on the ground, staring at her Z-ring. She had yet to use her Z-move unlike the others. "…Guys…back me up, please. I think we can do something about this, but I'm gonna need everyone's help…"

.

.

"Iron Tail!" Venus flipped her hair for Steelix to attack. Steelix whipped its tail forward, but Guzzlord caught it within one of its teeth. It then proceeded to whip Steelix into a nearby wall, causing it to collapse. "HEY! WHO TOLD YOU TO DO THAT TO MY DEAR STEELIX!?"

"Haxorus, use Dragon Dance! Then Dragon Claw!" After empowering itself, Marcus' Haxorus rushed forward, raking its claw against Guzzlord's body. This only succeeded infuriating the alien, which used one of its teeth to knock Haxrous into a nearby room. "Ah!"

"Melmetal, Double Iron Bash!" Melmetal flexed on Ash's command, whipping around to send its gigantic iron fists at Guzzlord's teeth, clashing with it in a pure test of strength. As strong and indomitable as Melmetal was, even it was having a bit of trouble holding off a Guzzlord.

"Silvally, Multi-Attack!" Fairy Silvally lunged into the air while Guzzlord was preoccupied, raking its claw against its face for an extremely powerful hit! Guzzlord yelled and staggered back in pain before coating itself in flames. It then jumped high into the air, coming back down with weight and force…!

"Watch out!" Acerola cried out.

Before Team Rocket could usher and kind of command, Bewear was quick to appear from well…nowhere, as it usually, did, scooping Team Rocket and their Pokémon into its arms and leaping away just as fast! It was amazing how impossibly fast this happened, but no one had the time to remark on it as Guzzlord was coming down. "What even is this feeling!?" The trio questioned as they were whisked away from the Aether Foundation.

"I hate this thing!" Elizabeth gasped while diving out of the way. Guzzlord used Heat Crash on no one in particular. It's gigantic size did more than enough damage, sending a powerful explosion of fire that blew everyone back. "Ouch!"

"AAAAH!" Snarling, it then whipped one of its teeth at Silvally, registering it as a threat and hit it strong enough to knock it far away.

"Sivlally…!" With his eyes widen in concern, Gladion rushed over to see if his partner was alright.

"And it's smart too? I hate it even more. Luxray, Thunder Fang!" Complaining while fighting was all Elizabeth could do. Luxray dashed forward with lightning surrounding its maw. All it could do was bite down on Guzzlord's teeth, sending a shock through its body. But Guzzlord whipped Luxray around before slamming it on the ground intensely.

"Focus Blast!" Ferma's Ambipom leapt forward, letting loose a condensed sphere of kinetic energy against Guzzlord's body, which only enraged it more. "H-How do we stop this thing!? Ah, Venus! You still have Ninjask, yes!?"

"It's so strong, just like before…" Acerola silently remarked.

Venus was silent. "…A Shadow Pokémon won't work on this sort of monster." She said calmly. "A Shadow Pokémon would destroy itself trying to fight something like this…which would be a waste."

Ash clenched his hand into a fist. The way Venus spoke about Shadow Pokémon made him mad. While he was glad she wasn't going to do that here, it still upset him she saw them as nothing more than tools. "You just looked at Kasumi the same way, as a tool!?"

"Now isn't the time for that, boy." Venus cut her eyes at the beast in front of them. "If you haven't noticed, we are no closer to pushing this menace out of this world than when we started!" At least she was focusing on the bigger threat.

"Don't worry, when this is over we'll be getting you too!" Marcus glared at Venus. "But we have to deal with this thing first!"

"Swampert, Ice Punch." Dakim finally decided to let his presence be known. Swampert came in so unexpectedly even Guzzlord was taken by surprise, roaring as the supereffective attack managed to force it sideways.

"Dakim, you've been lurking about in this dark basement?" Venus lifted a brow.

"Seriously, another one!?" Elizabeth groaned. "We don't have time for this right now!"

"Listen up, kids." Dakim said while pounding his fists together. "This is a one-time deal. A monster like this can't exist in our world, but you already know that." While he was speaking the truth, he was also serving to buy Ein some time for…whatever it was he wanted to do.

"Working with Cipher to save the world from an alien? It really is the end." Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "As long as you don't try any underhanded-" She didn't have the time to finish, as Guzzlord was firing off another Dark Pulse aimed at no one in particular. It was just eating and causing damage.

"Guzzlord is common organism in its own world, roto!" Rotom informed everyone. "Which is precisely why we have to close that hole as soon as possible!"

"But we can't get it all the way up there, it's too heavy!" Acerola pointed out.

"Maybe we can't carry it…" Ash had an idea, staring up at the hole they fell down from, then his Z-ring. It was a long shot, but it was the only idea they had they could work. Asking Cipher for help though? That was…iffy. He couldn't trust them to follow through.

"If you've got a plan, you'd best say it quick!" Venus sent Steelix to attack again. Even she realized that they were, at best, delaying the inevitable this way.

"Okay, fine!" Ash and the others had no choice…

.

.

This was going to be their last chance to deal with this Guzzlord. If they screwed this up now, the Foundation would topple. "Takeba, are you ready?" Kiawe glanced back at Takeba, who had Honchkrow out.

"Mhm! We just need to get under it!" Takeba nodded.

"I don't care much for takin' orders…but whatever gets this freak out of here!" Guzma scoffed and pointed his hand forward. "Pin Missile"! Golisopod followed the order, releasing numerous pins to rile up and strike Guzzlord, succeeding in drawing its attention. "Liquidation!" Continuing its assault, Goliopod sprinted forward; forming a katana of water within its grip and slashing once close. It found itself clashing with one of Guzzlord's teeth, only to be knocked back by the other. "Tch…!"

"Aqua Jet!"

"Acrobatics!"

Vikavolt and Primarina lunged towards Guzzlord from opposite sides. As predicted, it attempted to grab them with its teeth, but they were able to outmaneuver it at the last second, slamming their bodies into the Ultra Beast to knock it backwards. "AHHHH!"

"Here it comes! Xatu, Light Screen!" Xatu flew forward on Scott's command, creating a large wall of light in front of it, just as Guzzlord released a Dragon Pulse. It collided against the Light Screen, which held for a few seconds before shattering. Xatu took the brunt of the damage, but it was able to shield everyone else from harm.

"Umbreon! Espeon! Quick Attack!" Umbreon and Espeon darted ahead. Rui watched carefully, making sure they could move in ways Guzzlord couldn't react to. Guzzlord outmuscled every single Pokémon here, but in terms of speed and mobility, it was outmatched. They just had to be careful how they struck, for it would leave them open for a nasty counter. "We can beat this thing! Now!" The Dark and Psychic types jumped at Guzzlord, only to move away at the last second, successfully goading it into attacking and missing. "Lovrina!"

"Blizzard!" Ninetails fired off a Blizzard, but at Guzzlord's right foot. It was a continuous blizzard, focused on making sure Guzzlord couldn't move no matter how it tried. Guzzlord didn't like this and retaliated with another Belch, which pushed everyone back, pushing the limits of the Trainers and Pokémon even more than before. "Ngh…!"

"Trop Kick!"

"Shadow Bone!"

"Dragon Rush!"

"Iron Tail!"

"Sludge Bomb!"

Tsareena, Marowak, Dragonite, Salamance, and Salazzle all attacked at once while Guzzlord was open. Despite the amount of attacks coming its way, Guzzlord was still able to endure them all, which was a frightening concept and only further proved their point. They weren't going to be able to stop it by brute force. They were all running out of steam with the exception of Goliopod and Salazzle, but even then that was only a matter of time at this rate. At least they were able to knock it off balance with its frozen leg.

"Darmanitans! FLARE BLITZ!" On Scott's cue, his two Darmanitans lit themselves up in a fierce veil of flames, tackling Guzzlord in a diagonal angle to break it free from the ice and launch it just a few meters into the air. That was the best the two physically strongest Pokémon present could muster. "TAKEBA!"

"WE GOT IT!" Takeba crossed her arms while Honchkrow flew forward, making use of this very small time frame. The Flynium-Z was resonating with trainer and Pokémon alike. All eyes were on Takeba as she was the only one who could pull this off. "I will not let this monster consume our world, I promise! Let's go, Honchkrow! SUPER SONIC SKYSTRIKE!" Normally this attack would be used coming down, but they didn't have time. Honchkrow had to use all of its momentum to fly upwards, the Z-energy radiating within its body to give it the push it needed, slamming into Guzzlord's body to lift it into the air! "Come on…!"

"A-AH…AHHHHHHHHHH!"

.

.

"Steelix, Flash Cannon!" Steelix fired off a Flash Cannon into Guzzlord's mouth. It didn't do much, but Guzzlord did have to take a moment to consume it just like the one outside. "How repulsive…!"

"Air Slash!"

"Thunderbolt!"

Silvally let loose an Air Slash, while Luxray and Pikachu fired off a Thunderbolt to distract Guzzlord. The mighty beast growled and roared in response, shrugging off the attacks despite how strong they were. Just as it was going to attack again with one of its teeth, Haxorus stood in its way, using both arms to hold it off. "I don't think so, pal!" Marcus narrowed his eyes. "Dragon Dance!" Haxorus roared, giving itself another boost in power to hold on, despite Guzzlord easily dragging it around.

Just as Guzzlord was going to use its other tooth to slam onto Haxorus, Incineroar took the hit. "Revenge!" Bolstering its strength, Incineroar gripped onto that free tooth, now holding Guzzlord in place. It was physically stronger than the both of them, but it was now getting assaulted by Swampert, Steelix, and Ambipom on its back.

"Iron Tail!"

"Ice Punch!"

"Double Hit!"

"What a weird timeline we live in…" Elizabeth couldn't not point this out.

"Shadow Ball!" Acerola spun around while commanding Gengar to attack. It did so by slipping into the floor under Guzzlord, firing off a Shadow Ball where it couldn't defend itself.

"Over there! Use Flash Cannon!" As pointed at the ceiling above Guzzlord. Melmetal followed this command, unleashing a beam that destroyed the ceiling, sending a large piece of rubble down onto Guzzlord. "Now!"

Everyone backed off at this moment, allowing Guzzlord to open its mouth and bite down on the large piece of rubble. It started to chew, actually needing to put a little bit of effort into this big snack. "It can't eat us if it's already chewing something!" Marcus understood.

"Steelix. Stone Edge!" Steelix slammed its tail on the ground, prompting numerous stones to rise up, one stabbing into Guzzlore's body and lifting it into the air. "It's now or never, brat!"

Ash crossed his arms, focusing on Melmetal. "You're the only one strong enough to take it from here! CORKSCREW CRASH!" Ash's Z-ring flooded energy into the overpowered Melmetal. It flexed before leaping into the air, spinning so fast its gigantic body took the shape of a drill. It then launched into the air, slamming into Guzzlord's closed mouth. Guzzlord was helpless as an attack of this magnitude pushed it skyward, directly towards its Ultra Wormhole.

"A-AH!? AHHHHHH!" Guzzlord flailed around as it was pushed into its Wormhole! Obviously it tried to struggle, but there was no use at this point. As soon as the monster was pushed into its gate, the gate began to close!

"GET OUTTA HERE!" Ash exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

.

.

"GET OUTTA HERE!" Takeba screamed as Honchkrow's Supersonic Sky Dragon succeeded in launching Guzzlord into its Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Beast tried so hard to struggle, but it was too late for it. As soon as it was launched in there, the Ultra Wormhole closed. They did it. "Oh…my…Arceus…" Takeba then collapsed on the ground. "We won…?"

"Ugh…" Lovrina sat down. Ninetails had enough energy to use Blizzard on the lingering flames while Blastoise and Primaria also did they it could to douse the fire. "I'm tired and I just got here."

"That sucked." Kasumi groaned.

"I think I'm burnt out…" Kiawe was right there with Kasumi.

"That was difficult…" Sophocles took a seat, only to be nuzzled by Vikavolt and Todegmaru.

"But we did it! We drove out Rainbow Rocket and Guzzlord!" Lana and Mallow high fived each other.

"…We're not out of the woods yet, I hate to say." Grace had to say it. "Cipher's here…"

"What!?" Rui turned to Grace.

"What now?" Guzma lifted a brow.

"Cipher? Those punks you were talkin' about before?" Plumeria asked.

.

.

"That's two down!" Marcus turned to where Venus, Dakim, and Ferma were…only to see comical dotted outlines of their figures. "Wh…!? Where'd they go so fast!?"

"Over there, roto!" Rotom pointed to the closest elevator. Seems like as soon as Ash's plan looked like it was about to work, they dipped regardless of the result.

"Leave it to them to abandon us!" Elizabeth growled. "We can't let them roam free! After them!"

"At least they somehow helped…" Ash still couldn't believe that happened. A common enemy really could bring people together, but that didn't mean Cipher still wasn't their enemy.

"Right!" Gladion nodded. Acerola was going to follow them. It wasn't like she still had a way home yet so she might as well try to help.

.

.

Lusamine relaxed in her chair. She could finally take a breather. "It's over…"

"They did it!" Moon and Lillie jumped for joy. They wished they could've been more helpful, but they soon found Lusamine was right about them being too injured to help.

Ein used this chance to casually stroll into the president's office, which put everyone on high alert. "Excuse me for a moment."

"Wh…!?" Lillie's eyes widened. "Ein!?"

"Who is this?" Wicke asked.

"A fellow scientist! Can't you tell by his appearance?" Faba said smugly.

"That's not a good thing!" Moon shook her head. "That's a guy from Cipher!"

"I'm not here to fight!" Ein lifted his hands up, but also called out his Alakazam. "Psychic." Alakazam's eyes lit up, using its telekinetic powers to hold Moon, Lillie, Lusamine, Faba, and Wicke in place. "I'm simply here to retrieve something." He then walked over to the machine, which still had the key in it, and turned it.

"Wait no…!" Moon tried to move, but she couldn't.

"If you open more of those up…!" Lusamine began.

"The fabric of space will tear? I'm aware of that, but it's hardly my concern. Besides, I believe with this I can open a few Wormholes in very specific locations…and with these previous coordinates for previous Ultra Beasts you've encountered…Buzzwole, Kartana…" The list continued.

"What are you doing? Stop that now!" Wicke demanded, but Ein wasn't listening.

"And…done." Ein pressed a button, causing numerous Ultra Wormholes to open in various islands along Alola, pressing the Beast Ball he stole into the device. This method allowed him to make the Ultra Beasts think they were under Cipher's control. All they had to do now…was pick them up. He then spoke into his communication device. "This is Ein. All member of Cipher evacuate this instant. We have our final plan set. We will capture the Ultra Beasts and make the Island Guardians, and then Alola, bow before us!"

"You don't have to yell, I'm right here." Venus flipped her hair, arriving with Dakim and Ferma.

"Wait!" Ash was right behind them. "We're not letting you get away again!"

"You don't have a choice." Ein gave a sinister laugh and snapped his fingers. Alakazam dropped its captives and used Teleport instead. Just like that…Cipher was gone again from their clutches.

Once freed, Lusamine ran over to her machine to shut it off and pull the key out. That thing was becoming far more of a nuisance than she ever planned for it to be. Panting heavily, she looked over the damage Ein caused. "He's called almost every type of Ultra Beast into Alola…! He's…truly planning to take over the Alola Region…!"

.

.

Next Time: To Save Alola.
