night...
A full moon shines brightly and the mystery creature is flying low over the ocean. It spots a Chinchou, and hits the unsuspecting Pokémon with a poison attack to get its attention. Chinchou responds with Thunder Wave, only energising the mystery creature and scaring the wild Chinchou away.
day...
It soon locates Ash and Pikachu on their way to Pokémon School the next morning.
Pokémon school...
Class has begun and Sophocles is presenting a series of photographs taken by Molayne, Sophocles's cousin.
"All these photos were taken at Hokulani Observatory on Ula'ula Island. I started looking at the stars after getting an astronomical telescope when I was younger." says Sophocles presenting the photos to the class on the chalkboard.
"The stars in alola are as clear as can be." says Kiawe.
"They are absolutely perfect for stargazing." says Lillie.
"Sure is! Big Mo told me that, because of this, people come from all over the world to see the stars at Hokulani Observatory. Oh, and when I say Big Mo I mean my cousin." says Sophocles then shows a picture of his cousin to the class.
"Speaking of which, Sophocles' cousin is named Molayne and he is a talented pokemon trainer and my best friend." says Professor kukui taking the photo.
"An observatory huh?" wonders Ash.
"Yes, that's where hes located." says professor kukui.
"Makes me wanna go there too." says Ash.
"Im sure youd like it." says Sophocles.
"Is it like capsule corp?" wonders Trunks.
"Capsule corp makes things not shows the stars." says Ash.
"Not unless grandpa has a telescope I never noticed." says Trunks.
Ash shrugs.
"If we make it a field trip, theres no telling if we see the moon or planets!" says Ash.
"Planets?" wonder Goten and trunks.
"Theres no way we can see other planets from here, is there?" wonders Hazzel.
"Couldn't hurt to look." says Ash.
Pikachu receives a face full of blue liquid, and notices Poipole looking into the classroom. Pikachu abandons the class presentation to do some investigation, not that anyone notices.
"Professor, lets all go there sometime! We could make it an extracurricular training trip!" says Ash.
"Sure!" says Professor kukui.
"Geeesh, eager much?" wonders Trunks.
"You want to meet friends from other worlds right? Must be boring only having a select amount of earth friends." says Ash.
"Don't know how well that would suit dad." says Trunks.
"Same goes for you, wouldn't it? You have a select amount of traveling buddies between regions." says Goten.
"Huh, guess so. But it wouldn't really count for my earth, where as your earth gets newcomers. So many evil newcomers." says Ash.
"If ultra beasts aren't otherworldly, you need space pokemon or something that can become friends of yours." says Trunks.
"I mean...if youre not counting pokemon, nothing major happens aside form evil organizations." says Ash.
"You need some of our life to actually get something new and intriguing happening here." says Trunks.
"Ive settled with the semi fusion technique and what classifies as auras for z moves. That's kinda like your earth yet seems unlikely with how its used here compared to the fusion technique and those weird kai earrings for fusions." says Ash.
"Hey! STOP BLABBING ABOUT THINGS THAT DONT REVOLVE AROUND CLASS PRESENTATIONS! Sophocles' presentation isn't over yet! Please refrain from making conversations until its over!" says Mallow.
"We're sorry..." say the class.
"I still say youre becoming more of our earth than this one but how it corresponds with things is different." says trunks huffing unamused.
"Theres no real way to go about it. Factor in how I used fusion with greninja and now everyone somehow gaining auras through z moves compared to the fighters of your earth. It does seem skeptical yet at the same time for this earth to be like universe 7 earth, I would've been aging along my journeys yet theres no telling what my real age is when factoring how long region are for leagues. The age I am portrayed as now wouldn't make sense no matter how you look at it. At most I could still be around Gohans age in reality but if school is in session now, id much rather be a highschool graduate than a college student if your earth has colleges." says Ash leaning back.
"Errrr…..gohan has a family now so there might not be? Whos knows?" wonders Trunks.
"This is the first I heard of a school for trainers so it wouldn't pan out well with how school worked when you were stuck with us." says Goten.
"Its all up in the air at this point. We are better off going by things as they are without butchering Ashs true age even more than it needs to be." says Trunks waving it off.
Hazzel cleared her throat so the boys would look at the front of the room.
"Ahem, Sophocles is trying to complete his presentation. We have no time for figuring out how Ash works in our earthly lifestyle." says Hazzel.
"Yeah, ok. Its just degrading seeing Ash be a 10 year old when he should be older. But how much older is beyond me," says Trunks shaking his head.
"Oy..." says Ash unamused.
"Big mo's always saying that there has to be undiscovered pokemon somewhere in space.I sure hope I can meet those pokemon someday." says Sophocles.
"When you do, I hope you will let me record the data into my index. I want to be the first to record a new species of pokemon." says rotom dex.
"Of course Rotom. Well, that concludes the presentation." says Sophocles.
The students clap and await the next person to be called when the bell rang halting the presentations until lunch was over.
"Thanks for that fine presentation you gave Sophocles." says professor kukui.
"I did my best." says Sophocles awkwardly.
Lunch time arrives, with Ash and friends sitting with their desk arranged in a circle. Ash brings out Lycanroc, Rowlet, and Torracat for a hand-made lunch, courtesy of Professor Burnet, and suddenly realises Pikachu's absence.
outside of the school grounds...
What Ash never realized was that Pikachu took off after the mystery creature toward a forest. The pair stop in a cleared path, the mystery creature nuzzles Pikachu much to the Pikachu's enjoyment. The mystery creature then fetches an apple from a nearby tree, which Pikachu splits into two with an Iron Tail.
pokemon school...
Sophocles walks up to Togedemaru, who was gloomy to know Pikachu left the school without anyone knowing.
"You mustn't be so worried Togedemaru." says Sophocles.
"Its really rare to see Pikachu disappear somewhere on his own." says Kiawe.
Ash nodded walking up to Kiawe, Mallow, Lillie and Lana.
"Perhaps Pikachu went somewhere off school grounds?" wonders Lillie.
"We cant say Pikachu skipped out without a reason." says trunks.
"That reason being?" wonders Goten.
"Well, for it to leave our sight in the middle of Sophocles' presentation means it wither caught sight of something or something wanted it to follow." says trunks pondering.
"So which is it?" wonders Lillie.
"Dunno." says Trunks.
Rowlet's eagerness leads Ash to search outside the school with Rotom dex, Torracat and Lycanroc, while everyone else keeps up the search in the school.
"Rowlet and I will follow!" says Trunks.
Trunks sent out his Rowlet and had it and himself follow Ash and his rowlet in search of Pikachus location.
Team rocket...
"Welcome!" say Jessie and Meowth.
"Have some delicious.." says Meowth.
"Bewear brand donuts!" says Jessie.
"The secret of their deliciousness is honey!" says Meowth.
"Theyre naturally sweet and good for your health too!" says Jessie.
In the middle of the search, ash's Rowlet becomes distracted and swoops into Team Rocket's honey donut food van for a snack.
"Huh? What?" wonders Jessie looking up.
"Mimikyu use wood hammer!" says Jessie pointing at rowlet.
Mimikyu uses Wood Hammer, causing the attack to hit and send Ash's Rowlet flying off into the distance.
forest...
Trunks' Rowlet sweat drops watching as Ash's Rowlet breaks its uncontrolled spin mid-air then both notice Pikachu and a strange looking purple creature in the forest clearing. Ash's rowlet heads directly for the mystery creature, a perceived enemy, though its attack is disrupted by the mystery creature's defensive Toxic attack. Pikachu runs over to Ash's now poisoned Rowlet, and begins to spark with electricity. Pikachu stops its sparking after hearing the mystery creature's teary plea. The mystery creature instantly grabs Ash's Rowlet and Trunks' Rowlet grabs Pikachu with its feet shaking its head at how spacey the other rowlet can get then leads the troupe back to the school.
Team rocket..
"Here, one plain with honey." says James handing a woman a brown bag with a donut inside.
"Thank you!" says the woman taking the donut bag.
"Thank you very much." say team rocket bowing.
Team Rocket notice the mysterious purple pin-headed Pokemon, Pikachu and Rowlet walking passed from their food van.
"Its the twerps Pikachu and his other pokemon with a...whatever that is." says Meowth.
"What is that purple pointy head pokemon?" wonders Jessie.
"Can we really say it is a pokemon?" wonders James.
The mystery ultra beast was mumbling something Jessie and James wanted to know but Meowth just shrugged unsure what it was it said.
"Well, what did that thing say? Youre the one that should know meowth." says Jessie.
"I have no idea." says Meowth.
"What do you mean by that? You speak human and pokemon! You heard it talking, didn't you?" says Jessie annoyed.
"I heard it talking, just unsure what it said." says Meowth.
"Whatever it was, isn't in the book on pokemon. It could be a really rare pokemon." says James looking through the book.
"Rare pokemon, you say?" wonders Jessie.
"Yeah." says James.
"Don't get over excited. If I cant understand what it said, it could be an ultra beast, the rarest of the rares." says Meowth.
"We're gonna get it!" say Jessie and James happily.
"Yeah!" says Meowth happily.
Wobuffet agrees.
team rocket, Pikachu, both rowlets, mystery creature...
Team Rocket catches up to Poipole, who is taking a break out exhaustion from carrying Rowlet on its back.
"It appears youre exhausted." says Jessie walking up to the little group.
"When asking us in your pokemon language." says Jessie.
"Let us tell you our names!" says James grabbing a rose.
"A flower's face and a willow's waist, making the flowers wither and the moon hide in shame. A single flower in this fleeting world. Jessie." says Jessie.
"Nobility and elegance like a dragon dancing in the clouds. The apostle of darkness fighting back against a tragic world! James." says James.
"Its all for one and one for all! Even in close friendships, an evil star shines a golden glow! Meowth!" says Meowth.
"Team rocket is here!" say Jessie and James.
"Oh yeah!" says Meowth.
Wobuffet soon chimed in.
"Oh, what a blunder. We said our motto and no one is around to hear it except pokemon." says Jessie bummed.
The mystery creature's laughter at Team Rocket only infuriates the trio.
"It just laughed at us!" says Meowth pointing at the mystery creature.
"You really can understand it!" says Jessie looking down at meowth.
"No, but I can understand laughter and that thing thinks we are amusing." says Meowth.
"Even I know laughter when I see it." says James huffing.
"Hmmph. Youre pretty rude for an adorable creature." says Jessie looking at the mystery creature.
"Anyway, we can capture you without a worry." says James.
"Nows our chance!" says Jessie pointing at the pokemon.
"Roger." says Meowth.
Meowth produces a net launcher, though Ash's Lycanroc and Torracat arrive on the scene destroying the net in the process. The new arrivals take Team Rocket by surprise though when Meowth sees the newly evolved Torracat for the first time he is seemingly excited for it.
"Is that...I see. So, Litten has evolved into torracat." says Meowth amazed.
"Rowlet, its good to see youre safe! ….cant say much for Ashs though." says Trunks looking at the pokemon.
"Are you alright, Pikachu and rowlet?" wonders Ash running up to the pokemon and team rocket.
Ash and Rotom dex instantly notice the mystery creature, giving Rotom dex the chance to take a frenzy of photos.
"Do you know what this is?" wonders Ash.
"Already on it!" says Rotom dex.
"What data do you have?" wonders Ash looking at rotom dex.
"Nothing. Theres no data." says Rotom dex.
"Well, of course theres no data on it. It seems like an ultra rare pokemon." says James waving his book.
"Ultra rare pokemon huh?" wonders Trunks landing on the ground.
"You finally caught up!" says Ash.
"These morons are a waste of time. Lets get these pokemno and leave for a pokemon hospital." says Trunks looking from team rocket to Ashs rowlet.
"We are not morons! You just keep taking our chances to have pokemon away!" says Jessie.
"Like I care." says Trunks glaring at team rocket.
"We were planning on taking that purple thing to Giovanni!" says Meowth.
"That said, feel free to leave with your precious pokemon and we will take the purple creature with them," says Jessie.
"Im counting on you Mareanie!" says James sending out Mareanie only to get his head covered.
"Do all his pokemon love him to the pont they attack him out of love?" wonders Jessie unamused.
"Cant really say much. Lets focus on the purple whatever." says Meowth shrugging.
"For crying out loud...Mimikyu, shadow claw!" says Jessie sending out mimikyu.
"Pikachu, dodge then use iron tail!" says Ash.
Pikachu dodges Mimikyu's Shadow Claw and retaliates with Iron Tail, but the attack fails to do any damage, merely activating Mimikyu's Disguise ability.
"Mareanie, spike cannon." says James.
"Rowlet, use-"
"Lycanroc, rock throw!" says Ash.
"...Rowlet, try using astonish!" says Trunks.
Mareanie's Spike Cannon collides with Lycanroc's Rock Throw.
"Pikachu help Trunks' Rowlet with thunderbolt!" says Ash.
Pikachu nodded as Trunks' Rowlet got infront of Lycanroc and attacks Mareanie while shouting in a startling fashion, causing Mareanie to flinch.
"Mimikyu, shadow ball!" says Jessie.
Mimikyu aims shadow ball at Pikachu but it misses. Before Pikachu's Thunderbolt hits Team Rocket, Bewear intervenes, and scoops the trio up into its arms and out of harm's way.
Evening...
The class brought Ash, Hazzel, Trunks and Goten to their secret base, with them looking around confused how a base was ever made within the school.
"How long was this here?" wonders Ash.
"Can you show us around?" wonders Goten.
"This isn't a good time." says Lillie tending to Ashs rowlet.
"Next time then?" wonders Goten.
"Depending on when or if a ultra beast appears." says Lillie picking up the case.
"Stop asking them Goten." says Trunks looking at Goten.
"There, its fine now. The poison in Ashs Rowlet is gone." says Lillie standing up.
"Ashs rowlet has recovered 100%!" says Rotom dex.
"Thanks Lillie." says Ash looking at Lillie.
"Im glad to have been of help." says Lillie smiling.
"Hey Goten? When do you think our starters will evolve?" wonders Trunks.
"I dunno. They should have if we took on those jellyfish creatures." says Goten.
"Hmmmm….it might take a bit longer then." says Trunks.
"If anything Trunks' rowlet should be evolving soon since my rowlet loves sleeping more than training." says Ash.
"It would've happened if you chose us." says Trunks.
"I was caught off guard by the offer to take on royal mask." says Ash unamused.
"Yeah, yeah. Choose two of your classmates over us." says Trunks reverting his eyes.
"Its done and over with. Don't hold a grudge." says Ash huffing.
"Im not. The whole evolving to a new stage of form seems to be against your rowlet whove you had as long as we had our starters." says Trunks.
"I have no idea." says Ash shrugging.
"That's suspicious." says Trunks.
"Not all pokemon like evolving so-"
"Its pathetic if Litten evolved before your first starter." says Trunks.
"...….it depends on what the pokemon wants. You cant force things on them." says Ash itching his cheek awkwardly.
"Im more surprised that mom contacted us." says Lillie.
"Your mom? You mean Lusamine…..is part of this secret base that just happened to be part of the school?" wonders Ash looking back at Lillie.
"Its definitely a pokemon ive never seen before." says Sophocles.
"That reminds me, Rotom dex doesn't have data on it either." says Ash.
The mystery creature continues to nudge Pikachu and removes Ash's Z-Ring from his wrist.
"I don't mind you taking a liking to the z ring but I kinda need it on my wrist." says Ash.
"Seems it wont be giving it back any time soon." says Lillie.
Just as Ash grabbed the z ring, a projection display appeared in the secret base with Lusamine, Wicke and Burnett appearing.
'Hello everyone. Good to see Ash and the boys when they were left out of the ultra guardians before.' says Lusamine,
"Ultra what?" wonders Ash.
"Is this like z fighters but for the class?" wonders Trunks.
"That would be so awesome!" says Goten excitedly.
'Ahem. Well, im glad Rowlet has recovered.' says Lusamine.
"Mom?" wonders Lillie.
'After analyzing the photos and footage rotom sent us, we concluded that the supposed pokemon is actually an ultra beast.' says Burnet.
'We've decided on a name too. The ultra beast is named Poipole, the poison pin pokemon. Rotom, take care of the information update.' says Lusamine.
"Do you mean its an undiscovered pokemon!?" wonders Rotom excitedly.
'Yes.' says Lusamine.
"I'll be the first to record data on an undiscovered pokemon." says Rotom going up to the screen.
'Its a mission befitting of an ultra guardian, isn't it? We counting on you.' says Lusamine.
"Ult-roger!" says Rotom dex making the movement.
Rotom, with Lusamine's word, goes on to officially register Poipole in its system.
"Poipole, the poison pin pokemon and poison type! Ultra beast registration complete!" says Rotom.
'Wed like you to update the details while observing this pokemon daily. Please cooperate with Ash. Of course, I'll be helping too.' says Lusamine.
"Does that mean...?" wonders Ash excitedly.
'Until we know where the ultra hole originated, we want you to be poipoles partner.' says Lusamine.
"Awesome!" says Ash happily.
'Ultra get it Ash.' says Lusamine standing up.
"Heh?" wonders Ash.
'Catch the ultra beast and keep it on your team until further notice.' says Lusamine.
"Right." says Ash confused by how Lusamine was wording things.
"It will be living with Ash? That's wonderful!" says Lillie happily.
"Ummm….what type of pokeball is to be used and where are they?" wonders Ash looking around.
Clefable wheeled the ultra balls up to the class for Ash to grab one.
"These are called ultra balls and they are only used on ultra beasts to catch and take them back to the ultra hole they came out of." says Lillie.
"Oh? Thanks Clefable!" says Ash picking up a ultra ball.
Ash faced Poipole who wasn't really sure what was going on.
"I want you to be my partner! Umm...it means you will live with me and my pokemon. That we will becomes friends who are like family." says Ash.
Poipole just stared at Ash who was scratching his head until he looked at all his pokemon.
"Look, you will be with me, Rowlet, Pikachu, Lycanroc, Torracat, Trunks, Goten, Hazzel and the pokemon they have." says Ash.
"Alright, here we go!" says Ash readying the ultra ball.
Despite Ashs mini speech, the poipole avoids all of the ultra balls as if playing around.
'D...does this mean...?' wonders Lusamine stunned.
"It doesn't want to be caught?" wonders Ash out of breath.
"Perhaps poipole is playing? It might not understand that pokemon can be caught by ultra balls if they wanna be with the trainer," says Lillie.
"That's it!" says Ash.
Ash sends out rowlet and has it go by poipole.
"Now watch closely!" says Ash.
Ash uses Rowlet to demonstrate, so he calls upon and returns the Pokemon several times. Unexpectedly, Poipole flies up to Ash and touches the Beast Ball's central button, causing it to enter the device. The Beast Ball rocks on the ground several times before settling, to everyone's amazement; this officiates Ash's capture of Poipole.
"I caught Poipole!" says Ash excitedly.
"Say it like a ultra guardian." says Sophocles.
"Not really used to that but alright, I will." says Ash.
"I just ultra-caught poipole!" says Ash holding the ultra ball in the air.
"Good enough." says Sophocles.
"Alright, you can come out now." says Ash tossing the ultra ball.
Poipole comes out of the ultra ball and happily looks at Ash.
"Poipole, lets get along." says Ash walking up to poipole.
night...
Ash and his Pokemon are excited with Poipole, the latest edition to the team. Rowlet, with Pikachu on its back, chases Poipole through Professor Kukui's home before eventually stopping out of exhaustion. Poipole goes on to spray several lines of blue and red fluid from its head on to one of the log walls, producing a portrait of Pikachu. The captured likeness impresses Pikachu and the others.
"Its Pikachu! That's a really good painting Poipole! Do you like drawing?" says Ash amazed.
