Narrator: Our heroes still on their journey and heading toward Iris's next Gym Battle! But something is happening to Iris's stomach!

(Route 7)

As Iris and her friends walking through the forest, they sudden hear Iris's stomach growling," H-hungry..."

"Will you stop complaining?" demand Gladion

"I can't help but feel this way!" snapped Iris

"Sorry, Iris we ran out of food and there are no fruits around to eat" remind Shannon

"Yeah, so it best you keep your mouth shut and keep walking until we found a nearby town to refill our supply" agree Gladion

"O-okay..." wined Iris

Poipole suddenly smell something causing it to fly away from the group making them to chase after it," Poipole!? Where are you going this time!?"

"Axew?"

"What up!" shouted Gladion

(Scene Change)

Iris's group manage to catch up with Poipole where they see a camp where there are two tents and camp fire that have pot over it.

"Look like we are someone's camp" inform Shannon

"And there is food!" Iris's mouth drooping, she tries to run toward the pot, so she can eat it but Gladion grab her," Don't!"

"Iris is not nice to steal someone's food" agreed Shannon

"You got that right!" a female voice appears behind them causing the group to turn and see blue short-hair girl with a white, bipedal Pokémon causing Shannon to take out her Pokedex," Who that Pokemon?"

[Slurpuff the Meringue Pokemon: Fairy-type: Its sense of smell is 100 million times better than a human's, so even the faintest scent tells it about everything in the area. It's like it can see with its nose!]

"She look cute" inform Shannon

"Miette, who are you talking to?" a familiar person enters the scene which shock the heroes," Cress!"

"Oh!" shocked as well the Water-type Gym Leader

(After explain to do later)

"I see, you guys ran out of food" inform Cress

"We have plenty food to share" Miette give each one of Iris's group of the soup in the pot

"Thank you!" replied everyone as they eat the food that Miette give them," Delicious!"

Miette ever give Pokefood she made for the Pokemons.

"Axew!" "Peee!"

"So, Cress what are you doing where out here?" asked Iris

"I'm doing an assignment from May" answered Cress," Aether Foundation found….."

"Cress" Gladion stop the Gym Leader from talking and point his eyes at Miette," Don't worry, Miette is my Connoisseur Assistant"

"What is a Connoissuer?" echoed Shannon

"Connoissuer who specializes in identifying the compatibility between Pokémon Trainers and their Pokémon" explain Cress," May also knew her, in fact we meant in Samyia that how we know each other"

"And that how I learn about Connoissuer from Cress and deicide to enter the school to learn. Which I graduate and request to be Cress's assistant" added Miette

"At first I was happy to be her mentor, but I couldn't take an assistant right now due of the secret of the Ultra Beasts" inform Cress," But thanks to May who explain Miette what happen to the Unova Region right now, Miette can keep the secret"

"That right, all of you guys can trust me" nodded Miette

"In the case, what Ultra Beasts are you hunting?" asked Gladion," Do you two need help?"

"Actually, we already got it" Cress looks at Miette," In fact..." who pop a Beast Ball and throw it in the air," Nina! Come on out!" that summon an Ultra Beast that resembles a jellyfish.

"Code: UB-01 Symbiont! A Nihilego!" Gladion took out his Rotom Phone.

[Nihilego the Parasite Pokemon: Rock and Posion-type: One of the Ultra Beasts. It's unclear whether or not this Pokémon is sentient, but sometimes it can be observed behaving like a young girl.]

"Man, these Ultra Beasts look weirder even more" teased Iris which Poipole heard that and throw an orange paint ball at her," Ouch!"

"And you name it Nina?" confuse Gladion

"I didn't like the name Nihilego" answered Miette

"Still why are you give it a nickname? When you are going send it back to the Ultra Space?" confuse even more Gladion

"Well...actually..." Cress look at Miette who nod," I'm going...keep it"

Gladion almost choke his water, "You...! You going keep that thing!"

"Don't worry this one is friendly" Miette grab a cupcake and give it to Nina who quickly eat," Turn out this one has a sweet tooth, that how I got her in the first place; I was making a cake for lunch, she then appears! She took one taste of my cake and eat the whole thing!"

"Nina like the sweets stuff that Miette made for her, she deicide she wants to stay with Miette" added Cress

"If it doesn't do any harm...then it will be alright with me" inform Gladion

"Are you sure?" asked Iris

"Yeah I'm sure; I don't know if I told you this, but my mother has an Ultra Beast that live with us" inform Gladion," Before my mom caught her, she been taking care of injury Pokemons and now that Ultra Beast is helping Pokemons in the Aether Foundation"

"Still..." Iris look at Cress's assistant," Miette, are you sure you want to keep that Ultra Beast. I know this is the first time you saw one, but I see many Ultra Beasts that cause so much damage"

"Iris" She look at the next Dragon Master," That why I'm a Connoissuer" She put her Nihilego, if I can understand her; I can show the world and teach trainers that we can live in peace with them"

"Still..." Iris look at Poipole in worry face

"Iris, you are right to be worry but...we need to take the chance if we can live in peace with the Ultra Beast" smiled Miette causing Iris to look down on to her food.

(Scene Change: Night)

Everyone is sleeping in their tent while Iris look at the stars by herself until she heard as familiar voice," Can't sleep?" causing her turn and see the Water-type Gym Leader head toward her to sit next to her," Yeah" Both of them look up to see the stars.

"Still undecided about your choice if you become Dragon Lord?" asked Cress causing Iris to look down," Yeah; I see both side of this conflict and I still haven't decided what to do about the Ultra Beast, why is this so hard for me?"

"It because you saw the good and the bad side of the Ultra Beasts that why the choice in front of you is so hard to choose" explain Cress causing Iris to now look at him," You see Iris, we trainers always have a different path to make. That why we have Pokemon Journey to find which path to take. The world can't choose a path for your" Cress look at Iris now," You must choose for yourself for your own path, even if it the wrong one" Cress get up and about to walk back to his tent," That why I choose to follow May's path to make peace with the Ultra Beasts"

"What if May's path for making peace with the Ultra Beast is wrong?" asked Iris

"If it wrong, it still my path" smiled Cress as he walks away while Iris look at him.

(Next Day)

Iris's group with Cress and Miette are in a crossroad," You guys have enough food to least for the next time over there"

"Thank you for the foods you give us" nodded Shannon

"And Iris" Cress look at the Dragon Trainer," Remember; the world can't choose the path for you, you must choose for yourself which path to take even if..."

"Is the wrong one" nodded Iris," Thank Cress" Iris's group wave good-bye and head to the left side of the crossroad as Cress and Miette with her Nihilego look at them," Do you think Iris will find the answer to help her choice?"

"She still has time, but she will find the answer to help her" nodded Cress as he and his assistant walk the other way.

"What if she choice Tobias?" asked Miette

"If she choice Tobias; then we have to let her be, but it will still be her choice" smiled Cress

Narrator: Cress have given Iris a lesson! A lesson that will help her make a choice for her? But which path will she choose? Find out next!
