Episode 160: Sora and Kairi Enters Ultra Space
The very next morning, everyone had gotten up after a whole night's worth of sleep, Lusamine along with Wicke, Professor Kukui, and Professor Burnet had come back to the Pokémon Center. The group notice that Faba wasn't with them.
"Isn't Faba with you?" Lillie asked.
"He isn't. He was out there all night and he's still there," Professor Burnet said.
"He stayed out there all night? What else could he be doing out there?" Riku asked.
He bursts in the Pokémon Center with tremendous news.
"Everyone! Everyone!" Faba shouted. Everyone turned to see the scientist, but he looked like he hadn't slept all night. "I have found it! I know how we can enter Ultra Space!"
"Enter Ultra Space?" Hau asked.
"Yes. I can open an Ultra Wormhole to where the previous battle had occured and we can enter right through it!" Faba said.
"Well, that's good news," Takato said.
"But, there is a catch. The wormhole will be opened for a short time and once it closes, you may not be able to get out until you find a way out; and who knows how long that'll take," Faba said.
"Just how long do you think it'll that someone will stay in Ultra Space until then?" Sora asked. Faba sighed at the question.
"It may take years. But, make sure it's something you want to do, because this will be a one-way trip," Faba warned.
"Just how long will the Ultra Wormhole stay opened until then?" Sora asked.
"It might be for hours. But, the problem is who is going to go through while the rest of us goes through?" Faba asked. Everyone thought for a moment and they all knew tit's a suicide mission since they may spend the rest of their lives inside Ultra Space.
"I'll go," Sora bluntly said. Everyone all looked at the young trainer. "I'll go inside of the Ultra Wormhole and get to Ultra Space and free Solgaleo from Necrozma." Kairi looked at her boyfriend and saw how serious he is.
"Wait a minute, Sora. If what Faba said is true, then you might end up being trapped inside of Ultra Space for many years. There's a slight possibility that you'll end up lost in there forever!" Lusamine said.
"I'll find a way out; somehow," Sora said. "All we have to do is seperate Necrozma and Solgaleo before it gets worse, right?" Sora questioned.
"Yes. But still, we may end up losing you in there!" Lusamine said.
"As long as we save Solgaleo, it'll be worth it, right?" Sora asked.
"It's too risky!" Lusamine argued.
"I know! I'll head right in and find Necrozma. I'll do it all by myself if I have to!" Sora stated.
"No Sora. You're not going to be by yourself," Kairi spoke up. He turned to her. "Because I'm going with you."
"But, Kairi! What if something happned to you in there! I don't want to put you in harm's way!" Sora argued.
"You're putting yourself in harm's way already! And don't tell me to stay behind, because I'll be coming with you and someone has to make sure you come back out safely," Kairi argued back.
"I can't let you-" Sora stated before he was cut off.
"Let her go with you, Sora," Riku said. He turned to his friend and rival. "Her mind is made up. And she's right. Someone has to be there to drag you back."
"Riku," Naminé said.
"Azu, Azu," Azurill chirped.
"You sure you really wanna do that, Sora?" Yugi asked. "Lusamine might be right. Something might happn to you in there."
"I know. The least we can do is try," Sora said.
"Sora is right. We have to let Sora and Kairi go through this mission. We are out of options," Lusamine said. "But, I can't let you go through with it unless I ask you, if that's what you wanna do?" Lusamine asked.
"I am," Sora said.
"And so am I," Kairi said.
The couple nodded in acknowlegement.
"Then let's get to it," Lusamine said.
Not wasting any time, the group had woke up Lunala. The moone Pokémon opened its eyes and saw Sora looking back.
"Hey Lunala. Sleep good?" Sora asked. Lunala nodded in response.
"We're going to need your help, Lunala. We're planning to head into Ultra Space and we need your help to do it. Solgaleo needs our help and yours and you're the only one who can guide us there, since you know the way around Ultra Space." Lunala looked at him and it didn't understand how he could want to head right in despite the dangers it'll present. "I what I'm asking is a lot, but we need your help." Lunala knew he was right and nodded to let Sora know it's with him. "I knew you would understand. Can you fly after that battle with Lugia?" Lunala didn't know, but it had to try. Lunala manages to flap its wings and lifted itself in the air. "And you're doing great!"
Not too far, Team Rocket got ready to set their plan into action, and to swipe Necrozma, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Lugia.
"Okay, everyone! We'll try this again, but this time no screw ups! And I'm looking at you two!" Napolean said, pointing at Cassidy and Butch.
"Sir!" The grunts all said.
"Now let's get cracking!" Napolean said.
The aircraft starts flying and heads back to where the legendary Pokémon were seen.
The whole group along with Lunala have made it to the spot where the battle had taken place, so Faba had prepared to open the Ultra Wormhole with his machine.
"There! The Ultra Generator is up and running!" Faba said with pride.
"So, now we have to turn it on and get inside it," Sora said.
"That's what I was gonna do," Faba said, pressing a few buttons. "We'll get to it as soon as you're ready, Sora."
Sora turns his gaze over to Kairi and she nods to confirm that she is ready. He turns over to Pikachu and he nods as well.
"We're ready," Sora said.
"You heard him, Faba. Get it started, Faba," Lusamine said.
"Yes, ma'am," Faba said. He activated the machine and an Ultra Wormhole opened. Sora and Kairi got onto Lunala's back along with Pikachu. Natu and the Pichu didn't want to be left out and joined the couple before Lunala took off. Lugia re-emerged from the sea and saw the Ultra Wormhole. Lunala had entered the Ultra Wormhole and Lugia followed the legendary Pokémon of the moon inside. Everyone was shocked to see Lugia had gone after them.
"Was that Lugia just now?!" Joey exclaimed.
"Why did it go after them like that?" Serenity asked.
"Probably wanted to finish what it started," Henry guessed.
"That would make sense. Lugia didn't even look like it was done yet," Kiawe agreed.
"I agree," Illima concurred. "I just hope nothing happens to them while they're in there."
"Me too," Acerola said.
"Sora, Kairi. You two better come back safe," Riku said. Naminé places her hand on Riku's shoulder. He turns to the blonde and saw a confident look on her face.
"Don't worry, Riku. Sora and Kairi are going to be alright," Naminé said reassuring. "You'll see."
"Azurill, Azu, Azurill," Azurill chirped.
"Eevee! Vee! Eevee!" Eevee added.
Riku smiled and bent down and to pick Eevee up in his arms. He then gave his girlfriend an affectionate hug.
"You're right, Naminé. You always knew what to say," Riku said. Naminé smiled and hugged him back. She knew she knew she had such a loving boyfriend just like Kairi does.
The couple and the Pokémon had finally entered the world of the Ultra Beasts known as Ultra Space. It was an amazing sight to behled; but, they had to admit, it was incredibly different than they thought it would look like. Also, it was raining. Lugia had emerged from the Ultra Wormhole and followed the moone Pokémon inside. Lugia looked around and saw it was no longer in the world it was familiar with.
"I think I might be speaking the obvious, but I'm thinking that this is Ultra Space," Sora said.
"I think you're right, Sora," Kairi agreed. She looked down and saw a group of Poipole float by and then a small group of Kartana as well. "Any idea on where we should start looking?" Sora thought for a moment and he pretty much didn't come up with one.
"To be honest, I have no idea," Sora admitted. Kairi sighed, since she didn't wanna hear that.
"Pika," Pikachu also sighed.
"Pichu," the two Pichu chirped. Pikachu's ears perked up and he saw his adoptive little brothers along with Natu. Pikachu winced upon seeing them.
"I thought I told you two to stay put! Eevee was supposed to keep an eye on you!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"But, he's no fun!" - Shiny Pichu subtitle.
"Besides, we wanna go on an adventure too!" - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.
"It's not a game! What if something happned to the both of you when I'm not looking? I won't be able to forgive myself if something happned to you!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Aw, come on, big brother! We wanna do some exploring with you!" - Shiny Pichu subtitle.
"Besides, Togepi got to go too!" - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.
"That's because Kairi is caring him around! And when we get back to our world, the both of you are grounded!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"But!" - Pichu subtitle.
"No buts!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"That's not fair!" - Pichu subtitle. Pikachu looked over at Natu.
"And you. Why are you tagging along with us?" - Pikachu subtitle.
"I just wanted to be with you guys. Sora looks like he knows what he's doing, right?" - Natu subtitle. Pikachu did a facepalm.
"I can go with that. Just don't let them out of your sight. No matter what." - Pikachu subtitle. Natu nodded and understood.
Back in Sora's world, Team Rocket flew in their aircraft catching up with the Ultra Wormhole. Eevee's ears perked up. Eevee turns around. Riku quickly notices his partner's distress.
"What is it, Eevee? What do you hear?" Riku asked.
"Vee!" Eevee pointed in the direction behind them. Riku turns and he spots the aircraft.
"Guys! We've got company!" Riku groaned.
Everyone turns around and sees the aircraft coming in the sky.
"It's Team Rocket!" Mallow gasped.
"Just as we said would happen, they won't give up," Mai said.
"I can take care of that," Kiawe said, taking out a Pokéball. He threw it in the air. "Go Charizard!" The Pokéball opens and Charizard takes flight. "Okay Charizard! Move in and use Flamthrower on that thing!" Charizard flew and fired Flamethrower on the aircraft.
Inside, the whole thing starts rocking. Alarms were blarring.
"What the hell is going on?!" Napolean shouted.
"We're under attack!" One of the grunts said.
"We've taken 25% of damage from our right!" The second grunt said. The aircraft rocks again. "Now we have taken 34% damage on our left!"
"I don't care about that! Just stay on freakin' course!" Napolean shouted.
"We won't be able to reach the Ultra Wormhole if we're under attack!" The third grunt said.
"We're picking up several heat signatures up head! Displaying on screen now!" The second grunt said. He projects the group on screen. Charizard flies back by Kiawe's side.
"Good work, Charizard," Kiawe said.
"Hey! I know you can hear me! If you're smart, you'll turn right around right now!" Riku warned them.
"Don't you tell me what to do! Gosh!" Napolean snarled. He turned to Cassidy and Butch. "You two get ready to engage the enemy!" He turns to the rest.
"Roger!" Cassidy and Butch nodded.
Riku turns to his partner.
"Eevee! Fire your Shadow Ball!" Riku ordered. Eevee fired Shadow Ball and it struck the aircraft.
"Not letting you hog all the fun, Riku!" Hau said, taking out two Pokéballs and threw them. "Decidueye! Raichu! Go!" He threw them and out of the Pokéballs they came. The Alolan nine then joined in on the action.
"Eevee! Swift!" Riku ordered.
"Decidueye! Spirit Shackle! Raichu! Electro Ball!" Hau ordered.
Lillie, "Go for it, Magearna!"
Illima, "Join in Bewear!"
Mallow, "Tsareena! Go!"
Kiawe, "Turtonator! Go right in!"
Lana, "Go for it, Corsola!"
Sophocles, "Join in on the fun, Vikavolt!"
Acerola, "Go right in, Gengar!"
Mina, "Go! Clefairy!"
Hapu, "Onix! Go!"
Their Pokémon joined in for the battle against Team Rocket.
"Magearna! Use Fluer Cannon!" Lillie ordered.
"Bewear! Use Focus Blast!" Illima ordered.
"Tsareena! Use Magical Leaf!" Mallow ordered.
"Turtonator! Charizard! Use Flamethrower!" Kiawe ordered.
"Vikavolt! Use Thunderbolt!" Sophocles ordered.
"Gengar! Dark Pulse!" Acerola ordered.
"Clefairy! Use Moonblast!" Mina ordered.
"Onix! Rock Slide!" Hapu ordered.
All of the Pokémon fired their attacks and they all strike the aircraft and the Team Rocket members were forced to make a landing.
"Get ready, guys," Riku said to his old classmates.
Meanwhile in Ultra Space, Lunala flew the skies of the alternate world and so far, the couple saw were Ultra Beasts they had already encountered in the past. A couple of Blacephalon were showing off to each other and a couple of Buzzwole were having a flexing contest to see who were the strongest.
"Any idea where we're going, Lunala?" Sora asked. Lunala nodded and it didn't take its eyes off the path, not even once since entering Ultra Space.
"I think Lunala knows where it's going," Kairi said.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
Lugia have been following Lunala the whole time and then, it draws the attention of some Ultra Beasts, having to see a creature they are not familar with just flying over them. Lugia got close enough to Lunala and then fired Aeroblast right at the moone Pokémon. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, the Pichu, and Natu all turn to see Lugia flying behind them.
"Crap! Lugia!" Sora gasped.
"You don't think it followed us in?" Kairi questioned.
"I don't think it did that just to say hello, I can tell you," Sora told her. Lugia fired Weather Ball and it turns out to be a ball of water and it fortunately missed Lunala, but the ride was getting shakey. "Wait a minute! Lugia stop! There Pokémon and kids here!" Lugia just ignored him and fired another Weather Ball and Lunala got hit, knocking Kairi off. "Kairi!" Sora gasped in shock.
"Sora!" Kairi shouted back to him. Lunala hears her voice and it dove down to catch her and into Sora's arms. And it was just in time before she could even hit the ground.
"You can open your eye now, Kairi. You're safe," Sora said to her. She does open her eyes and hugs him tightly.
"Sora!" Kairi weeped.
"Thank Lunala. It heard you and saved your life," Sora said. Kairi smiled.
"Thank you, Lunala," Kairi said. The moone Pokémon nodded and landed to put the couple down in a safew place, wanting them to fall off again. Lunala flew right into Lugia with a mighty force of its body.
The two legendary Pokémon fought each other and not one of them was getting the best of the other. Lunala began with Moongeist Beam and fired its signature attack on the diving Pokémon. It caused heavy damage due to it being a Ghost Type attack, but it wasn't enough to bring it down.
Lugia fired another Weather Ball, but missed when Lunala perfomred another Phantom Force. Lugia looked around, but Lunala comes up behind Lugia and delievers a strike from behind causing more heavy damage.
Back outside, Napolean, Cassidy, Butch, and some several Team Rocket grunts have stepped out and glared right at the kids. Some of them recognized the Alolan nine and Riku.
"Hey! Those are the kids that foiled our plan back at Azalea Town!" One of the grunts pointed out.
"The kids Genghis and Kahnnie warned us about!" Another grunt said.
"One of them has an Eevee is what I heard!" Another grunt said. "And that's him!"
"Shut it, you guys! We gotta teach these punks a lesson about sticking their noses in our business!" Napolean said.
"Is it me or that nerdy-looking guy looks like he's in charge?" Mai asked.
"Sure looks like; but I think it's a pretty bad joke," Rika said.
"Look, whoever you are," Riku said.
"The name's Napolean. And you little brats have stood in our way for the last time! But, it's going to be your only chance to stand aside and let us pass into that Ultra Wormhole," Napolean said.
"Not gonna happen, four-eyes," Riku said to the Team Rocket agent. Napolean frowned at the insult Riku just gave him.
"You had your chance," Napolean said. "Take the rest of the kiddies, but the one with the Eevee is all mine, Cassidy's and Butch's!"
"Sir!" The grunts all said.
They all took out their own Pokéballs and threw them in the air to let out their Pokémon. All of the Pokémon consisted of a Raticate, a Magneton, a Yungoos, a Salandit, an Ariados, a Fearow, a Grimer, a Pinsir, a Scyther, a Venonat, a Haunter, an Ekans, and an orange-maroon fox-like Pokemon with a slender body and a large head relative to its body size. It has long, black ears, white spots on its head that resemble eyebrows, markings around its eyes that make it look like it's wearing a mask, and yellow eyes. Small white dots around its eyes almost make this Pokemon look like it's crying.It also has also has tuffs of fur on both sides of its head. It has a white belly and chest. Its feet are black and its tail is long, has a black tip, and resembles a sack of stolen items. This Pokémon is known as a Nickit.
Cassidy had let out her Houndour and Butch had sent out his Hitmontop. Napolean had sent out what looks like a Meowth, but something was different about it; very different from the Meowth he has seen in Alola and Kanto. This Meowthgrayish-brown color with thicker fur and a grinning mouth with sharp dagger-like teeth. It also has yellow eyes, and has black a black coin on its head and its feet and tail were black as well.
"Is that a Meowth?" Riku asked curiously.
"What you're seeing is a Galarian Meowth. The reason they look like this is all because they lived with Vikings in the old days," Napolean explained. "My Meowth is just the most awesomest Meowth in like ever! Also, it's a Steel Type!"
"Meowth!" The Galarian Meowth snarled.
"Meowth! Metal Claw!" Napolean ordered. The Galarian Meowth lunged towards Eevee with its claws metalized.
"Eevee! Dodge and use Dig!" Riku ordered. Eevee dug underground to avoid the Galarian Meowth. The Steel Type Meowth. Eevee popped out of the ground and gave the Meowth a hit.
"Cassidy! Butch! What are you standing around for?! Get that furball!" Napolean shouted.
"Houndour! Use Ember!" Cassidy orordered.
"Hitmontop! Rolling Kick!" Butch ordered.
Houndour fired Ember and Eevee dodged the fire attack with ease and Hitmontop did a roundhouse kick, and Eevee dodged it just as easily.
"Swift!" Riku ordered. Eevee fired Swift and the attack strikes Houndour and Hitmontop. "Now use Quick Attack on Houndour!" Eevee used his speed attack and strikes the dark hound Pokémon hard.
Houndour skids on the ground, and dust debris kicks up.
"Not bad, kid. You're just as good as the kid with the Pikachu," Cassidy said.
"But, you're still going to lose, kid," Butch added.
"I don't think so," Riku said. "Eevee! Swift again!" Eevee fired Swift and the stars struck the Team Rocket Pokémon hard. "Now use Shadow Ball!" Eevee fired Shadow Ball and it struck Hitmontop on the spot.
Back in Ultra Space, Sora and Kairi continued to watch the battle between Lugia and Lunala, but it was so time consuming.
"Sora, we need to break this up and fast!" Kairi said.
"I know, you're right!" Sora said. "We don't have time for this! The Ultra Wormhole will be closed by the time this battle is over!" He wished he just knew how. Luckily, Pikachu had an idea. Pikachu fired Thunderbolt right between the legendary Pokémon and they stopped battling each other. Lugia turns to see the two humans from before. Lugia didn't understand what they were there for and why. "Good thinking, buddy." He pats Pikachu on the head.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Lugia! You have to stop! Solgaleo and Lunala didn't mean to come to our world uninvited, but they had to get away from Necrozma and you saw why they wanted to get away!" Sora said. Lugia looked at him and it turned to Lunala; the moone Pokémon nodded to let Lugia know he's right. "We came here to help Solgaleo to keep something bad from happening. Other Ultra Beasts will just keep coming into our world if you won't let us do what we have to do! They'll cause all kinds of trouble for all the people and Pokémon in our world, and I know you don't want that to happen!"
"Listen to him, Lugia! You know that he is right!" - Pikachu subtitle.
Lugia took in every word Sora had said and nodded to let him know it understands. Lugia lets out a roar confirming that it'll help out save Solgaleo from Necrozma.
"Lugia is going to help us!" Kairi said.
"It listened to me," Sora said. Lugia went over to the couple and told them to get on. They obliged the legendary Pokémon and Lugia followed Lunala right in the path it was on before the battle started. Lugia and Lunala flies around looking around. Sora, Kairi, and the Pokémon did the same thing. "I'm not seeing anything around here. How about you, Kairi?"
"Nothing," Kairi said.
"Pika, Pi," Pikachu said.
"Togepi," Togepi chirped.
"Pichu," the Spiky-eared Pichu chirped.
"Pichu," the Shiny Pichu chirped.
"Natu," Natu chirped.
"We better keep our wits up since Dusk Mane Necrozma wil show up at any moment," Kairi said.
"You're right, Kairi. Better keep your eyes peeled," Sora said. Kairi and the Pokémon didn't need to be told twice and they kept an eye open for Dusk Mane Necrozma and suddenly, a multicolored laser comes out of nowhere and it nearly threw Lugia off balance. They saw the fused Pokémon just below them. "Necrozma."
Back outside, the Alolan nine's Pokémon had dealt with the Team Rocket Pokémon like it was not a problem. The grunts calls them all back and glared at them. Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Guil, and Impidimp watched the battle closely and were proud to witness it. Melody, Yugi, Joey, Téa, Tristan, Bakura, Duke, Mai, Serenity, Weevil, and Rex watched the battle just as closely. Weevil and Rex wondered if they should join in on the battle against them, but they knew they would be outnumbered.
The adults were occupied with the Ultra Wormhole, never letting the battle distract them.
"Sora, Kairi. Please come back safely, the both of you," Lusamine said worryingly.
Eevee had bested both of Houndour and Hitmontop despite taking some hits himself. And he was getting exhausted himself. The Galarian Meowth was just getting started.
"Meowth! Night Slash!" Napolean ordered. The Galarian Meowth came at Eevee with its claws emitting a dark aura.
"Eevee! Dodge with Quick Attack!" Riku ordered. Eevee dashed by the Steel Type cat Pokémon before it could land a hit on him. "Now use Dig!" Eevee dug underground. The Galarian Meowth waited for Eevee to pop out at any moment. Riku saw the look on Napolean's face and he had to wait for the right moment. Eevee pops his head from underground.
"Meowth! Behind you!" Napolean shouted. The Galarian Meowth turns and sees Eevee heading back down. It jumped towards the evolution Pokémon and attempted to dig after him.
"Eevee! Swift!" Riku ordered. Stars came shooting out of the ground they all came too fast for Meowth to handle. "Now use Shadow Ball! Full power!" Eevee created a huge ball of shadow and sends it right towards the Galarian Meowth and the attack was enough to knock the Steel Type scratch cat Pokémon out. Napolean calls back his fallen Meowth.
"You got lucky, twerp. But, you won't be so lucky next time," Napolean said. He, Cassidy, Butch, and the grunts retreated in the aircraft and they proceeded to head for the Ultra Wormhole, but Kartana didn't think so. Just before they could get halfway there, Kartana used its Sacred Sword and slashed right into the aircraft and it starts to head right into the ocean. "What the hell is going on?!"
"I don't know, sir! We have substained 35% of damage!" The first grunt said.
"What should we do, Napolean?" Cassidy asked.
"Just retreat!" Napolean told them. The aircraft makes a turn and it takes off. The group celebrated their victory over the evil organization and having to watch them take off.
"And don't come back!" Hau shouted to them.
"Now we can hope for Sora and Kairi to come back without any problems," Lana said.
"I hope you're right, Lana," Sophocles said.
"Me too, Sophocles. I honestly do," Hapu said.
Back in Ultra Space, Lugia, Lunala, and the Dusk Mane Necrozma have started their battle and Sora and Kairi couldn't feel left out.
"What do you say, Kairi? Shall we join in?" Sora asked his girlfriend.
"Yes! Let's!" Kairi said. She and Sora took out their other Pokéballs, just after setting Togepi down. They both threw their Pokéballs in the air.
"Silvally! Meganium! Quilava! Feraligatr! Meltan! Go!" Sora shouted.
"Raichu! Abra! Rockruff! Marowak! Magby! Go!" Kairi shouted.
The couple's Pokémon have entered the battle and ready to help battle against the Dusk Mane Necrozma, despite the fact the might not win, but they had to try before the Ultra Wormhole closes and traps them inside. Sora gave Silvally the Fire Type Memory, making it a Fire Type, since the Ultra Beast taking over Solgaleo is a Steel Type.
"Okay! Pikachu! Thunderbolt! Meganium! Petal Blizzard! Quilava! Flamethrower! Feraligatr! Water Gun! Silvally! Air Slash! Meltan! Flash Cannon!" Sora ordered.
"Togepi! Swift! Raichu! Thunderbolt! Abra! Psychic! Rockruff! Rock Throw! Magby! Incinerate! Marowak! Rock Slide!" Kairi ordered.
All of the couple's Pokémon fired their attacks along with Natu who fired a Night Shade and they all struck Dusk Mane Necrozma before it knew what happned. Lugia fired Aeroblast and Lunala fired Moongiest Beam and they struck Dusk Mane Necrozma as well.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Did it work?" Sora asked.
Sora got his answer when Dusk Mane still stood on all four legs and let out a loud roar. Dusk Mane Necrozma attacked Lugia using Sunsteel Strike and it took the legendary Pokémon of the sea and then it attacked Lunala with Photon Geyser and it struck Lunala on the spot. Dusk Mane Necrozma then fired Prismatic Laser and it the lasers headed right towards Sora's and Kairi's Pokémon.
"Togepi! Safeguard!" Kairi ordered. Togepi formed a protective barrier in front of them and the lasers bounced right off. Dusk Mane Necrozma ceased fire and then it started to transform again. Necrozma had transformed into the same light being matching the mural and the parts from Necrozma was now gold. They knew Necrozma had absorbed enough light from Solgaleo and Lunala. "Sora?"
"Yeah Kairi. I'm seeing what you're seeing," Sora said.
"Ultra Necrozma," Sora and Kairi both said at once. Ultra Necrozma let out a loud roar and several Ultra Wormholes opened all at once. Several Ultra Beasts have gone towards the wormholes and crossed right over.
Over to Gladion, Tai, Kari, Matt, TK, Sara, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Davis, Jun, Ken, Yolei, Cody, Takuya, Koji, Kouichi, Tommy, Zoe, JP, Mime Jr., and Munchlax, a few Nihilego and a Xurkitree have emerged from an Ultra Wormhole.
"Ultra Beasts," everyone said.
"Munchlax," Munchlax said.
"Mime Jr, Mime," Mime Jr. said.
Over to Hiroaki and his crew, they saw an Ultra Wormhole open and a Celesteela come out.
"An Ultra Beast," Hiroaki said under his breath. "I hope Nancy isn't going through this. The same for Matt and TK."
Over to Nancy, Yuuko, Kae, Satoe, and Toshiko, they witnessed an Ultra Wormhole and several Poipole have emerged from it.
"Are these what I think they are, Nancy?" Toshiko asked.
"Yes. These are Ultra Beasts," Nancy confirmed.
"I was afraid you gonna say that," Yuuko said.
"These things are everywhere!" Satoe cried.
"Why are they are here?" Kae asked.
"I honestly don't know," Nancy said. She spoke in her thoughts, "Could it have something to do with that black thing and that other Pokémon from yesterday?"
On Ogi Island, a Buzzwole, a Blacephalon, and a Naganadel appeared out of another Ultra Wormhole.
"No! This cannot be!" Faba exclaimed.
"What?! What cannot be?" Wicke asked.
"Don't leave us in the dark, Faba! What's going on?" Professor Burnet asked.
"Ultra Beasts are appearing all over the Johto region! It's going to be difficult to capture all of them!" Faba stated.
"That could only mean one thing; Necrozma has the power that it needs," Wicke said.
"That is what I was worried about. What I feared would happen did happen. I just hope Sora and Kairi can be able to take down that monster and soon," Lusamine said. She knew that the Ultra Wormhole Faba had opened won't stay opened for long, but they had to hurry.
In Ultra Space, Sora, Kairi, and their Pokémon stood in amazement at the sight of Ultra Necrozma, but they had to think of a way to take down Ultra Necrozma and separate Solgaleo from it.
"What Lusamine said would happen happened," Kairi said.
"No kidding. And just as long as Necrozma stays like that, those wormholes are going to stay opened. And there's only one way to do it; we have to battle it," Sora said. Kairi looked at him with shock the same with hers and his Pokémon.
"Are you sure about this, Sora? Necrozma is way too powerful now. Our Pokémon might be able to battle it. Togepi won't even last long even he was at full-strength from using Safeguard," Kairi said.
"I know, but I don't think we have a choice. We already came this far and it's way too late to turn back now," Sora told her. Kairi didn't know how to counter that one, but she knew he was right. They already came so far, but she felt that she was in too deep.
"Okay Sora. I'm with you in this. We've been through a lot since the very start and this won't be any different," Kairi said. She looked over to Raichu, Abra, Magby, Marowak, and Rockruff and she knew they all had her back the same with Pikachu and Sora's other Pokémon. Natu even fluttered to the couple and nodded. Sora smiled and patted the tiny bird Pokémon on the head. "We started this together and we might as well finish it!"
"That's the spirit, Kairi!" Sora said to her. Sora took out the Fire Memory disk and put in the Fairy Memory disk. Silvally is now a Fairy Type since being a Dragon Type. "Let's do this!"
Kairi placed Togepi and the Pichu in her backpack.
"You three stay in here while it's safe," Kairi said. They all nodded. Despite being cramped inside, they felt safe. The couple looked at Ultra Necrozma and it's studying the two humans and their Pokémon. Lugia and Lunala even got ready to battle Ultra Necrozma. She turns to her boyfriend and she held out her hand. Sora smiled and took it. They gaze into each other's eyes for a moment before the nod to each other.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt! Silvally! Air Slash! Meganium! Petal Blizzard! Quilava! Flamethrower! Feraligatr! Water Gun! Meltan! Flash Cannon! And Natu! Night Shade!" Sora ordered.
"Raichu! Thunderbolt! Abra! Psychic! Magby! Incinerate! Marowak! Rock Slide! Rock Ruff! Rock Throw!" Kairi ordered.
Lunala prepared to fire Moongiest Beam and Lugia prepared to fire Aerblast and both legendary Pokémon fired their attacks along with Natu, Sora's and Kairi's Pokémon. Ultra Necrozma fought back by firing a Dragon Pulse attack and it cut through the combined attacks, like it was nothing.
The force of Ultra Necrozma's attack blew the Pokémon back, but Sora and Kairi held on to each other tight.
"Hold on to me, Kairi! No matter what!" Sora said.
"You do the same, Sora!" Kairi said.
And they both did hold on. When it was over, they all slowly got up on their feet and they stared defiently at the Ultra Beast. Abra looked over to Sora and Kairi and he didn't like how Kairi was holding him like that. But, he had to focus on the Pokémon in front of him and the others. Natu stood up on her feet and so did the rest. Sora saw how their Pokémon are hurt, but how they refuse to stay down; Kairi saw that too.
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"I'm glad to see your fire hasn't gone out yet," Sora said. He looked over to his other Pokémon. "All of you."
"We have been in tight situations before and we knw we can overcome this. And we can do that when we work together," Kairi said. Sora's and Kairi's Pokémon nodded and they knew what was at stake. They all turned to Ultra Necrozma and they started their assualt on the Ultra Beast, hoping they would get Ultra Necrozma to waste some energy to make Solgaleo's rescue easier.
Outside, Riku, Hau, and the Alolan nine had their hands full dealing with Buzzwole, Naganadel, and Blacephalon. Guil and Zeraora joned the battle against the three Ultra Beasts.
Buzzwole attacked Guil using Lunge and Naganadel attacked with Dragon Claw against Zerora. Guil managed to duck out of the way of the muscular Ultra Beast and Zeraora came at Naganadel with Close Combat.
Blacephalon dashed towards the Alolan nine's Pokémon to make an explosive assault. The Alolan nine already got their fill dealing with one of them before.
"No you don't, Blacephalon!" Kiawe stated.
"You're not fooling us again! Corsola! Bubble Beam!" Lana ordered. Corsola fires Bubble Beam and it strikes the fireworks Pokémon on its slim body, causing its head to go flying. It heads right towards Yugi and his friends.
"Run for it!" Yugi yelled. Everyone except for Weevil and Rex make a break for it and the head explodes, causing Weevil and Rex to go flying.
"NOT AGAIN!" Weevil yelled.
"So much for our revenge scheme," Rex deadpanned.
"We'll have better luck next time," Weevil vowed.
They go flying straight into the sky and so far, a star twinkles in the distance.
Over to Gladion, Tai, Takuya, and their friends, Gladion sent out his Silvally, Lycanroc, and Umbreon to battle Xurkitree and the Nihilego. Gladion had given Silvally the Ground Type Memory disk since Electric, Rock, and Poison Types are weak against Ground Type attacks. Flame, Drake, Dracaena, and Aguni battled along side Gladion's Pokémon.
"Flame! Drake! Dracaena! Mega Punch!" Tai ordered.
"Aguni! Metal Claw!" Takuya ordered.
"Flame, the two Dragonite, and Aguni attacks the Nihilego; they respond by firing Acid Spray their way. Tai's Charizard and two Draginite gets away, but Aguni was about to get struck by Acid Spray. Gladion saw where the attack was heading.
"Lycanroc! Rock Slide!" Gladion ordered. Lycanroc forms rocks and they block the acid. "Now Umbreon! Use Dark Pulse!" Umbreon fires Dark Pulse and it strikes one of the Nihilego. "Lycanroc! Use Crush Claw!" Lycanroc swings at one of the Nihilego and it falls back onto another. "Now Silvally! Multi-Attack!" Silvally used its signature attack on the jellyfish-like Ultra Beasts and takes them all down. Gladion was glad Silvally had gotten stronger since its first encounter with a Nihilego when it tried to take Lillie with it. Xurkitree fired an electric blast at Silvally and it has no effect, due to it being a Ground Type thanks to the Memory Disc.
Over to Hiroaki and his crew, they record every momnet of the Ultra Beast's behavior when Auggie and Aber came around and saw it.
"Look Abner! It's gotta be an Ultra Beast!" Auggie said.
"Let's just hope this one won't get away like the last one," Abner said. He and Auggie took out some Pokéballs and hurled them in the air. A Hitmonchan, a Houndoom, a Magcargo, and a Machoke with an eyepatch had popped out.
"Go get that thing!" Abner and Auggie ordered.
All of the Pokémon cahrged towards the Ultra Beast to launch an attack. Hiroaki noticed the Pokémon and the hunters coming into the scene.
"What are those guys doing?" Charlie asked.
"They're getting in our shot, that's what," Sakurada stated.
The Pokémon hunters and their Pokémon have attempted to land a hit on Celesteela, but nothing could leave a dent; except for the fire attacks. Celesteela didn't like the fire treatment it was getting, so it responded with a Flash Cannon and it sent them flying in the air.
"MOMMY! MAKE THE HURTING STOP!" Auggie and Abner shouted.
Hiroaki couldn't help but feel sorry for those hunters since, but he had to admit, they had it coming since they provoked the Ultra Beast.
"Man, I wasn't expecting that to happen," Charlie said.
"Me neither," Jeremiah added.
"Got to hand it to them, though; it'll only attack when we provoke it," Hiroaki said.
"So, we play nice and it won't use Flash Cannon on us," Sakurada said.
"Right. Just keep recording," Hiroaki said.
Charlie kept recording Celesteela's behavior. Celesteela just seems so consent on its current surroundings and not noticing the humans with it.
Over to the mothers, Nancy had her Dragoniar, Rapidash, and Ninetales out while Yuuko had sent out their Persian Miko out while Toshiko had sent out a Pidgeotto, Kae had sent out a female Butterfree, and Satoe had sent out a Vileplume and a Bellossom to deal with the attacking Poipole. They sent out a Venoshock attack and Miko blocked it using Icy Wind. Miko then uses Fury Swipes on the purple Ultra Beasts.
Back on Ogi Island, Faba kept tabs on the Ultra Wormhole while Riku, Hau, and their former classmates along with Guil and Zeraora dealt with the attacking Ultra Beasts.
"Man, that Buzzwole we dealt with was a hassle, but this one is much stronger," Hapu said.
"Sora wouldn't back down because of that and we won't either," Kiawe said.
"He's right," Mina agreed.
"Let's keep going," Acerola said.
And they did. Naganadel and Blacephalon came to the assistance, Onix wrapped her body around Blacephalon and it struggled to get loose; it even tried to fight back by blowing up its head, but the hold that the Shiny rock snake Pokémon was giving it was too great. Buzzwole had given Turtonator a toss and he landed on his back and the shell spikes exploded and he goes flying and lands on Vikavolt.
"Turtonator!" Kiawe gasped.
"Vikavolt!" Sophocles also gasped.
Buzzwole was about to finish them off when Zeraora attacked the mosquito-like Ultra Beast with Plasma Fists. Buzzwole turned to see the yellow Pokémon and its body glows in a light blue aura and swung its fist at Zeraora, but it quickly avoided the attack and charged into it with Wild Charge. Buzzwole was taken back and Zeraora had suffered some recoil damage from its own attack.
Back in Ultra Space, the couple and the Pokémon continued with their battle with Ultra Necrozma. The Ultra Beast made of light attacked with Prismatic Laser and several multicolored lasers shot out.
"Abra! Psychic! Block it!" Kairi ordered. Abra brings a few huge rock with Psychic and it manages to block some of the lasers and the lasers breaks the rocks down into dust. Abra uses Psychic on some of the rock debris and he pelts Ultra Necrozma with them. "Okay Abra! Teleport and than Mega Punch! Magy! You use Fire Punch!" Abra teleports both himself and Magby right in front of Ultra Necrozma and they launched good punches on both sides on of its face.
"Feraligatr! Ice Fang!" Sora ordered. Feraligatr lands a chilly bite on the Ultra Beast's tail, causing heavy damage. Ultra Necrozma swings the large crocodilian Pokémon off its tail.
Pikachu and Raichu used their Quick Attack and they ran across the ground and Ultra Necrozma had a hard time keeping track on both of the mouse Pokémon, almost making it dizzy.
"Marowak! Bonemerang!" Kairi ordered. Marowak threw her bone and it struck Ultra Necrozma on one side and then struck it on another side. "Rockruff! Bite!" Rockruff lands a bite on Ultra Necrozma's foot. The Ultra Beast tries to swing the puppy Pokémon off, but Rockruff refused to let go.
"Pikachu!" Sora called out.
"Raichu!" Kairi also called out.
"Thunderbolt!" Sora and Kairi ordered.
Pikachu and Raichu shocked Ultra Necrozma, creating a giant bolt of yellow lightning and it strikes Ultra Necrozma in the chest. Rockruff lets go of the Ultra Beast's foot and Lugia charges towards Ultra Necrozma with Dragon Rush. That caused heavy damage since Dragon Type Pokémon are weakened against Dragon Type attacks.
Lunala's eyes glows blue and lets out a loud cry. Lunala's body then becomes surrounded in a crimson aura. Lunala then brings its wings down to the ground and a pink and crimson forcefield of energy appears around Lunala's body and expands outwards throughout the wholearea. The attack strikes Ultra Necrozma.
Ultra Necrozma fell to the ground and then, it regains its balance and then roars in anger at the assaults.
"Man, it's angry now," Sora said.
"And it'll strike back with a vengeance," Kairi said.
"Then we'll have to strike hard," Sora said. "Quilava! Flame Wheel! Meltan! Flash Cannon!" Quilava rolled into a ball of fire and headed right towards Necrozma. Meltan builds up energy and then fires Flash Cannon. Ultra Necrozma blocks the attacks with its two top wings. Sora winced when he saw that. He turned over to Meganium. "Meganium! Petal Blizzard!" Meganium fires a blizzard of flower petals. Sora hoped that it'll distract Ultra Necrozma and he and Kairi would try again, but it didn't, as Ultra Necrozma roars again and attacks with Photon Geyser. The attack hits both of Meganium and Feraligatr since they became easy targets due to their large sizes. Both of the fully evolved starter Pokémon were taken down. "Meganium! Feraligatr!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu yelled.
"Necrozma just took them both down," Kairi said.
Sora turned to Silvally and the synthetic Pokémon nodded, letting him know he's ready to battle.
"Okay Silvally. I know you can do this. You been through some tight situations and you helped me out in the battle against Morty, and I know you can do this." Silvally nodded. "Okay! Go!" Silvally charges into battle right towards Ultra Necrozma. "Silvally! Crush Claw!" Silvally strikes at Ultra Necrozma in the right leg. "Now use Air Slash!" Silvally fired Air Slash and it struck the same leg. Lugia fires Weather Ball and the ball of water hits Ultra Necrozma in the chest. Lunala then uses Phantom Force and strikes Ultra Necrozma on the back as soon as it reappeared.
"That's the way, Sora!" Kairi praised her boyfriend.
"Thanks Kairi. But, I'm not gonna take full credit," Sora said. "Silvally! Multi-Attack!" Silvally launched itself and giving off a fairy-esque pink glow, it strikes Ultra Necrozma and it lets out a loud roar and falls to the ground. Parts on Ultra Necrozma's crystals then all turns black. Ultra Necrozma then glows and reverts back into what it was before it was before it absorbed Solgaleo. Speaking of which, Solgaleo laid on the side and then regained consciousness and saw Lunala looking back at it.
"We did it," Sora and Kairi both said. They were relieved they fulfilled their mission and they kisses each other.
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said, falling on his back.
Back on Ogi Island, another Ultra Wormhole opens and it sucks in Buzzwole, Blacephalon, and Naganadel back into Ultra Space. They all knew what that meant.
"Sora, Kairi," Lillie said.
Over to Gladion, Tai, Takuya, and their friends, their Pokémon were injured from the battle and Xurkitree and the Nihilego were about to attack when another Ultra Wormhole opens and pulls them in. The Ultra Wormhole closes, and everyone were caught off when it happened.
"What was that about?" Jun asked. Takuya looked over to Tai who is smiling.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Tai?" Takuya asked.
"Ketchum," Tai simply said.
"Sora. I know this has something to do with you," Gladion said in his thoughts. He couldn't help but smile.
Hiroaki and his crew were surprised when the large Ultra Beast was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole as soon as it opened and then closes.
"Where'd it go?" Charlie asked.
"I think it went home," Hiroaki said.
Nancy and the other mothers and their Pokémon were surprised when all of the Poipole were being sucked into an Ultra Wormhole after it opened and then it closes.
"Please tell me that it's over," Satoe pleaded.
"Somehow I think it is," Nancy said.
None of the other women thought they would see any Ultra Beasts, but after what they witnessed, they were wrong.
Back on Ogi Island, everyone were pleased to see that the Ultra Beasts have been sucked back into Ultra Space.
"Man, so glad that it's over," Joey said.
"Me too," Kazu said. "Those things were such a hassle."
"Yes. Now we can hope those two can get out safely," Wicke said.
"You're right, Wicke; but, how are gonna get a hold of them?" Professor Kukui asked.
"I'm working on that," Faba said, doing some modifications on the communicator "There! That should do it!" He handed it to Lusamine and she makes contact with Sora, hoping that it worked.
In Ultra Space, Sora and Kairi had called back their Pokémon to rest up when his communicator starts going off.
"Better answer that," Sora said. He takes his communicator out and he answered it to see Lusamine on the screen. "Lusamine! How did you-?" Lusamine cut him off.
"Just a little something Faba was working on. But, I'm making contact to see if it works. I'm glad to see that it does," Lusamine said. "How are things on your end?"
"Necrozma and Solgaleo have separated and Solgaleo is doing great!" Sora said.
"What about Necrozma?" Lusamine asked.
"Out. It hasn't moved an inch since we took them down," Sora said. He looked at the unconscious Ultra Beast and the couple saw Solgaleo and Lunala seal Necrozma into a huge crystal. "And now Solgaleo and Lunala has placed it into a crystal.
"They must not want to risk Necrozma chasing them again," Lusamine said.
"So, what about out there?" Sora asked.
"Several Ultra Beasts have appeared while you're in there, but Ultra Wormholes have opened and they have been sucked inside. I had to assume you had something to do with them being dragged back home," Lusamine said.
"Come to think of it, some Ultra Beasts have gone through some Ultra Wormholes as soon as Necrozma opened some," Sora said. "But, at least the worse of it is over."
"Lusamine!" Faba called out. Lusamine turned to the scientist. "The Ultra Wormhole is slowly closing! And the pace is gonna pick up!"
"What?!" Lusamine exclaimed.
"Lusamine! What's going on?" Sora asked.
"Sora, Kairi! Listen! The Ultra Wormhole is closing and if it does, you'll be trapped in Ultra Space unless you get out of there immediately!" Lusamine said. The couple got wide-eyed hearing that they're going to be trapped.
"We have to get going now!" Kairi said.
"You're right! We just gotta figure out how we're going to get out and soon!" Sora said. Lugia looked over to them and gestures them to get on its back. "Lugia! Good! We need to get out of here!" The couple get on Lugia's back and the diving Pokémon started flying. The couple took one last look at the legendary Pokémon of the sun and moon, and they watched the couple and their Pokémon friends leave for their homeworld. As Lugia flew, they saw the Ultra Wormhole was shrinking fast.
"The wormhole is shrinking!" Kairi said.
"Pick up the pace, Lugia!" Sora told the legendary Pokémon. Lugia flew faster and flew inside the wormhole before it got smaller.
Back outside, everyone were just made aware of the situation and they had to hope that they make it out.
"Sora, Kairi," Riku said.
"Eevee," Eevee chirped.
Naminé took his hand as the Alolan nine, Hau, Melody, Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Yugi and his friends crossed their fingers, hoping for the best. Lugia has emerged from the closing Ultra Wormhole with Sora, Kairi, and the smaller Pokémon coming through. Lugia lands on the ground just so as they could get down. Sora catches Kairi in his arms.
"Hey guys," Sora greeted. "Told you we'll make it out." Everyone had smiles on their faces and they all crowded the couple, feeling happy to see that they're safe. "Good to see you too."
"What happened in there?" Takato asked.
"What was it like in there?" Tristan asked.
"How did you see?" Jeri asked.
"We can tell you a lot, but we need to rest up first," Sora said.
"And so do the Pokémon," Kairi added.
Everyone returned to the Pokémon Center and they explained everything that happened while Sora and Kairi were in Ultra Space and the couple had shared what happened while they were in there. Sora had wondered what happened to Weevil and Rex since he didn't see them anywhere, but Hapu was glad they were gone.
"And that's about it," Sora concluded.
"At least the worse of it is over," Kenta said.
"For now at least," Riku said. "I just have a sickening feeling we're going to hear from Team Rocket again."
Everyone silently agreed and they had to be on alert since the Team Rocket organization will probably make their next move and soon.
Sora's next Gym battle was on his mind right now, so he exchanged Meganium, Feraligatr, and Silvally, for Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, and Donphan. Sora had thought about using Gliscor against Jasmine, but he decided to go with either Donphan or Mamoswine, but he decided to go with Donphan since Mamoswine probably won't last long against Steel Type Pokémon.
On the very next morning, Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Kazu, and Kenta took a boat back to Olivine City piloted by Melody. Lusamine, Faba, Professor Kukui, Professor Burnet, and Wicke headed back to the Aether House in Alola and Hau decided to explore the Whirl Islands along with Yugi and the rest.
"You sure you don't wanna stick with us a little while longer?" Sora asked.
"Thanks for offering, but I'm going to look around the islands more and see what else I can see," Hau said.
"But, we do wish you luck in your Gym battle, Sora," Yugi said.
"And we're hoping that we can hang around with ya again," Joey said.
"Likewise," Sora said.
They waved goodbye to their friends and they had a feeling they would see them again. Sora's next Gym battle was getting closer and closer and he just hopes for an exciting battle up since he missed out on the battle due to an ill Ampharos. Sora knows Jasmine is going to make it hard for him, and he's fully prepared for it. The overdue Gym battle is coming up in the next chapter.
