Shoutouts:

"Since we embarked on saving Mother, we've run into several unbelievable events, one after another. Like Alola's island guardians appearing before us….Nebby evolving into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo…." said Lillie, remembering Solgaleo roaring in front of her, Gladion and the others. "Even the island guardians transforming Ash and Jordan's Z-Rings! And thanks to all of these events….."

"'Kay, here we go…" said Ash and Jordan.

"With full power!" Lillie and the other said as Solgaleo roars, opening up a wormhole.

"In order to get Mother back safely, I headed into the Ultra Wormhole." said Lillie.

As everyone went further and further into the ultra-wormhole, Lillie was determined to bring her mother back. Once the other end had opened, everyone was shocked at their surroundings. "We're here." said Ash when Jordan's jaw dropped.

"Pik. Lucar." said Pikachu and Meeko as they jumped off of Solgaleo's back. "Pika….Lucar…"

"So this is the Ultra Beasts world." said Mallow.

"Those gems….they're beautiful…." said Lana.

"I've never seen anything like them!" said Sophocles. "Are they made out of rock or metal?"

Looking up, Pikachu and Meeko see the same Ultra Beasts that took Lusamine. "Pika!" growled Pikachu.

"Lucario!" said Meeko, raising her arms.

"Alert! Alert! Multiple Ultra Beasts!" squealed Rotom.

"Hey, what are those?" asked Kiawe.

"Those are all UB-01 Symbiont." Gladion replied. "They're the same kind of Ultra Beast as the one who took my mom."

"Where is she?" asked Lillie as several UB-01 Symbiont fly in front of them. "Mother?"

Back on Poni Island, Kukui was setting up some equipment while Burnet was typing on her laptop. Once finished, she then goes and pushes a red button, causing it to shoot a flare into the wormhole. "That should do it." said Burnet.

"Burnet? Do what?" asked Kukui.

"I shot a marker into the spot where the Ultra Wormhole opened." she explained. "So they don't get lost on their way back."

"I sure hope they all return safely…." said Professor Kukui, looking at the Ultra Wormhole particles.

"Now what should we do?" asked James as he and the others stared at the professors from where they were.

"How about leave?" suggested Jessie.

"Yeah, lets split." said Meowth in agreement. "The twerps did."

"Wobbuffet!" said Wobbuffet.

"Right!" they all said when Bewear opens its arms and stops Team Rocket in mid-step.

"We read you loud and clear…." groaned James.

"You insist that we stay…." added Jessie as Meowth pops out for air.

"It looks like we'll have to split up if we're going to have any chance to find Lusamine." said Kiawe.

"Split up?" Mallow asked him. "I don't know, getting separated scares me…."

"You normally do research and make sure you're prepared before exploring an unknown world…." said Sophocles. "but there's no time for that."

Soon as he said that, a UB-01 symbiont passes by, touching his head, causing him to cry out in fear. "Hey, don't worry, Sophocles!" Ash reassured him as Jordan glares at UB-01.

"Tell me one reason why shouldn't!" said Sophocles.

"Our Pokémon! They're with us, right?" asked Ash.

"Pika!" said Pikachu, agreeing with Ash. Sophocles looks up and sees the look on Solgaleo's face.

"You forgot that we brought our Pokémon with us, didn't you?" asked Jordan with a small smirk on her face.

"You're right!" said Lillie with Snowy's Pokéball in her hand. "Snowy? Come share your courage with us!"

"Popplio? You too!" said Lana.

"All right! Come on out, Steenee!" shouted Mallow.

"Turtonator! Marowak! Come out!" shouted Kiawe.

"Togedemaru! Chargabug! You too!" said Sophocles.

"'Kay! Litten, Lycanroc, Rowlet, let's go!" shouted Ash.

"Leilani, Rogue, Toph, Harmony, Emma!" shouted Jordan.

"Now, Silvally, Umbreon! Lycanroc!" shouted Gladion. As all the Pokémon came out of their Pokéballs, they were determined to help find Lusamine. Solgaleo roared as both Pikachu and Meeko became alert when suddenly a UB-01 Symbiont appeared with Lusamine inside it.

"Hey, isn't that…." Ash started to ask. From inside UB-01 Symbiont, Lusamine looked up and smiled.

"It's our mother!" Lillie cried out as Gladion growled and grinded his teeth.

"The data is a perfect match." Rotom added as he compared both pictures of Lusamine.

"Okay…." whispered Jordan, grabbing a hold of her brother. "Time for me to go home now…."

"Don't worry, I've got you. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." Ash said to his baby sister before looking at Lusamine. "We've got to save her quick!"

"That UB-01 Symbiont….it's trying to merge with my mother!" said Gladion.

Solgaleo roared as Lusamine looks at the kids in fear. "No, no, stay away!" screamed Lusamine.

"Silval!" growled Silvally as he jumps forward, joining Pikachu and Meeko.

"Don't worry! I'll save you." said Lillie, then runs toward her mother.

"Lillie!" said Ash as he, Jordan and Gladion went after her.

"Wait! It's dangerous." Gladion called out after her.

"But mother's in trouble." Lillie said over her shoulder. Suddenly, UB-01 Symbiont brought forth purple crystals in front of it and Lusamine, blocking their path. Jordan was about to slide into it when Ash grabs her by her waist.

"Thanks, Ash." said Jordan, sighing in relief and gave him a smile. "I was about to be a Jordan pancake."

Just then, purple spikes shot out of the ground. "Better yet, we don't need a Jordan kabob." said Gladion pulling her out of the way when a purple spike appeared behind Ash.

"Look out!" Ash shouted, pushing Lillie out of the way.

"Umbreon! Use Dark Pulse!" shouted Gladion.

"Um-bre!" shouted Umbreon, releasing dark orbs from its head at a couple of the spikes, destroying them. "Umbreon."

"Are you okay, Lillie?" asked Jordan and Lillie nodded.

"What's that?!" Rotom asked Gladion. "Is it that Ultra Beast's power?!"

"It's possible…." replied Gladion. "But its appearance…."

"What is that Ultra Beast planning to do with Lillie's mom?" asked Mallow.

"I worry that Mother's energy could ultimately be drained if the two of them merge." said Gladion.

"That sounds horrible." said Lana.

"I don't even like imagining it, either." said Jordan, shuddering of what could happen.

"There are still a lot of things we don't know about Ultra beasts." Gladion said to the two. "I'm just saying it's a possibility."

"Hey, we've gotta hurry, so let's move!" said Ash as he and Jordan start to run after it when UB-01 Symbiont takes Lusamine with it.

"It's getting away!" said Mallow.

"No, Ash and Jordan!" Kiawe called out. "If we chase after them, it's probably going to get angry!"

"Go away!" screamed Lusamine. "I've been waiting a long time to experience this."

"Lusamine?" asked Ash and Jordan.

"We've finally met! After all this time, we've finally met!" she said, shaking her head.

"No, Lusamine! You can't do this!" shouted Ash.

"Please come back with us." pleaded Jordan.

"You be quiet right now!" screeched Lusamine as UB-01 Symbiont takes her away.

"Hey, wait!" yelled Ash as he and Jordan gave chase while UB-01 Symbiont created purple stones, hovering above the ground. Ash and Jordan jumped as Pikachu and Meeko followed close behind.

"Pika!" Pikachu called out.

"Cario!" said Meeko.

"No, mother!" cried Lillie as she too ran after her mother. Gladion and the others followed suit. Sophocles asked, "Whats going on? What's up with her?"

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

"She's acting like she's my age." said Jordan.

"Yeah." agreed Mallow.

"Maybe she's being controlled." suggested Kiawe.

"Maybe, but some of what she said is how she really feels." said Gladion.

"What?" asked Mallow. "All that childish talk?"

"My mother has been researching ultra beasts because she's always wanted to come in contact with them." explained Gladion as UB-01 Symbiont took Lusamine up even higher from the group. "And her wish has finally came true."

"But it's trying to merge with her." reasoned Kiawe.

"She probably isn't thinking about it that way." said Gladion. "It's like she finally got the toy she's been yearning for."

"A toy?!" asked Ash as Jordan became shocked.

"Mm."

"In the state mother's in, she probably thinks we're bad guys who are trying to take away her precious toy." Gladion explained further.

"Okay, I get why she's thinking that way…." said Jordan. "but seriously though, I will not be compare to Team Rocket. Now they are what I call bad guys."

"And that's why you're in charge of keeping track of them, Jordan." said Ash.

"Pikachu." said Pikachu.

"Yeah….Lucar…." said Jordan and Meeko, panting.

"We've gotta save her whether she likes it or not!" said Ash.

"Of course! And I'll bring her back to her senses, no matter what!" said Lillie. "Snowy! Use Powder Snow!"

"Vul….pix!" shouted Snowy, sending Power Snow towards Lusamine and UB-01 Symbiont.

"No, stop! Stay away!" roared Lusamine as UB-01 Symbiont used Psychic to create a purple spike mountain to protect Lusamine and itself, deflecting Snowy's Powder Snow.

"Oh, no!" said Lillie.

"Check it out." said Ash.

"Do we have to climb that?" asked Jordan.

"Let's hope not." said Mallow.

"It can even do that?" asked Kiawe.

"I hate you all! Go away!" screamed Lusamine.

"Hate us?" asked Lillie.

"Don't listen to her! She doesn't mean that!" said Mallow.

"Right. What Mother's saying right now isn't making any sense at all." said Lillie.

"Okay. Pikachu, use Thunderbolt." said Ash.

"Meeko, use Helping Hand. Make this Thunderbolt needs to be a big one." said Jordan and Ash nodded.

"Pika….chu!"

"Lu…cario!"

Meeko had a hand on Pikachu as Pikachu's Thunderbolt became bigger and stronger than ever. "Turtonator, use Flamethrower! Marowak, Bonemerang!" shouted Kiawe.

"Turt-o-nator!" bellowed Turtonator, releasing his flamethrower at the base of the spiked mountain as Marowak throws his bone at the middle.

"Stone Edge, now!" shouted Gladion.

"Emma, help him out!" shouted Jordan.

"Lycanroc!" howled Emma and Gladion's Lycanroc, punched their fists into the ground, bringing stones to the surface as both attacks didn't budge the spiked wall.

"It didn't do a thing." said Sophocles.

"Oh, no…" said Mallow.

"That does it!" screamed Jordan.

"Lucario!" shouted Meeko. Just then, both trainer and her Pokémon partner ran towards the bottom of the spiked mountain with mallets in their hands, hammering the spiked mountain away in anger.

"Well, that's a start." said Kiawe.

"That's a side of Jordan and Meeko I've thought I would never see." said Gladion.

"A word to the wise…." said Mallow.

"Never get on their bad side or make them this angry." said the others.

"There's been a few fights where someone gets hurt by Jordan, Meeko or both of them." said Kiawe.

"Yeah, but at least they're channeling it at something else and not at family this time." said Ash before grabbing Jordan and Meeko.

"My poor mother." said Lillie as Solgaleo walks past her towards spiked mountain.

"Solgaleo!" shouted Ash and Solgaleo roared furiously as a bright light surrounded and circled its feet.

"Incredible." said Sophocles as Solgaleo nodded at him.

"Let's go!" shouted Ash and Jordan as Solgaleo roared once again and tackles the spiked mountain, making a hole for them.

"Great, now let's get going!" said Ash.

"Leave me alone! Or I'll do something frightening!" shouted Lusamine as UB-01 Symbiont throws out one of her Pokémon.

"Whats that?" asked Ash.

"Salazzle. The Toxic Lizard Pokémon. A dark and fire type, and the evolved form of Salandit." said Rotom. "Its poisonous gas contains lots of pheromones that attract male Salandit."

"Gladion, is that Mother's Salazzle?" asked Lillie.

"It is. I'm sure of it." said Gladion.

"Salan?" asked Rogue, looking fearfully at its female evolved form and crawls into Jordan's arms. "Salandit! Salandit!"

"Don't worry, Rogue." said Jordan, holding him close. "I won't let her take you."

"Neither will we." said Lana, reassuring Rogue.

"Salazz!" growled Salazzle, releasing poison from her tail.

"Turtonator! Use Flamethrower!" shouted Kiawe.

"Nator!" bellowed Turtonator, sending another round of Flamethrower while Lusamine and UB-01 Symbiont made their getaway from the battle.

"She's getting away!" said Sophocles.

"Leave Salazzle to me and go after Lusamine!" Kiawe said to the others.

"Kiawe!" shouted Ash, getting the fire trainer's attention when suddenly Salazzle goes in for another attack.

"Turtonator! Use Dragon Tail! Marowak, use Flare Blitz!" shouted Kiawe.

"Nator! Maro!" shouted both Pokémon as they went to attack.

"Turto-nator!" shouted Turtonator as he flips to aim his tail at Salazzle.

"Maro, Maro, Maro, Maro, Marowak!" shouted Marowak as it spins green fire around its body, knocking back Salazzle.

"We'll be fine!" Kiawe called out to the others. "Now get out of here!"

"You got it! Thanks, Kiawe!" said Ash. "See you later on!"

"Good luck, Kiawe! You got this, Turtonator and Marowak!" said Jordan as Solgaleo crouches down, beckoning them to get on.

"Solgaleo!" said a shocked Ash.

"Are you offering to take us?" asked Lillie. Solgaleo nodded at her.

"We're honored!" said Jordan, climbing up.

"Lucario!" said Meeko, climbing up after her. Seconds later, Solgaleo leads them towards Lusamine and UB-01 Symbiont.

"That aura my mother's Salazzle was emitting….it's because that Ultra Beast was controlling it." said Gladion. "Most likely, its controlling Mom's other Pokémon, too…."

"Stop it! Stay away!" shouted Lusamine, as three more of her Pokémon were thrown out.

"Wow, more Pokémon." said Sophocles.

"Lilligant and Milotic….and Mismagius too…." said Lillie. "They're all my mother's cherished Pokémon!"

Suddenly Milotic sends out its Hydro Pump at the kids while Mismagius sends out Thunderbolt. Everyone dodges both attacks. "Popplio, use Bubble Beam!" said Lana.

"Pop…plio!" said Popplio, sending bubbles towards Milotic and Mismagius.

"Now, Steenee, use Magical Leaf!" said Mallow.

"Steenee!" shouted Steenee, creating shining green leaves, sending them as well.

Lilligant quickly steps in front of the two, protecting them as it does Petal Dance to counteract both attacks. "Mismagius!" shouted Mismagius, sending out another round of Thunderbolt.

"Togedemaru!" shouted Sophocles, throwing her towards the Thunderbolt to absorb it before landing on Charjabug. "Togedemaru, nice work."

"You guys!" said Ash.

"Ash, Jordan, we can handle this." said Mallow. "You all go ahead and we'll stay here and take care of them."

"I'm going to stay behind and help them out, too!" said Rotom.

"Okay. Got it! Let's go!" said Ash.

"Be careful, you guys!" said Jordan.

"Pika!"

"Lucar!"

Solgaleo lead the others past Milotic, Mismagius and Lilligant, who were ready to go after them when Lana, Mallow and Sophocles attacked. "You're staying put!" they shouted as Ash, Jordan, Lillie and Gladion went after Lusamine and UB-01 Symbiont.

"Mismagius. The Magical Pokémon. A Ghost type." said Rotom. "Mismagius appears out of nowhere, chanting spells, casting curses, and showing terrifying visions."

"Ah, give me a break. Curses-shmurses." said Sophocles.

"Milotic. The Tender Pokémon. A water type." said Rotom. "Milotic live deep in lakes with clear water. They appear when conflict is imminent, calming people's hearts."

"I don't see any healing in those eyes." said Lana.

"Lilligant. The flowering Pokémon. A grass type." said Rotom. "It's said the fragrance coming from the flower on its head has relaxing properties, and, if neglected, the flower withers."

"It doesn't look all that relaxing to me." said Mallow.

"Quick, Popplio, use Bubble Beam!" said Lana.

"Pop….plio!" shouted Popplio, releasing Bubble Beam on Lilligant, knocking it back.

"All right….Steenee, Double Slap!" said Mallow.

"Steenee!" shouted Steenee as she heads to double slap Milotic, who in return starts to use Aqua Tail.

"You can do it, Steenee." cheered Mallow. Lilligant starts to use Teeter Dance, causing the trio to follow her.

"Whats this?" asked Sophocles.

"I don't know….whoa…." said Mallow.

"It's Teeter Dance." Rotom explained.

"But I don't understand." said Lana.

"Why are all of us dancing anyway?" Sophocles asked Rotom.

"If this keeps up, we're powerless." said Rotom as Mismagius cackled and Litten bites her on the hat with Fire Fang while Rowlet uses Tackle, knocking Lilligant back towards Milotic.

"Litten!" said Lana, smiling.

"Rowlet!" said Mallow.

"Litten, Rowlet, you can do it." said Ash as Solgaleo takes them, Gladion and Lillie to Lusamine and UB-01 Symbiont.

"We believe in you." said Jordan.

"Lilligant." said Lilligant, using Sweet Scent, unknowingly putting Rowlet in a trance as it flies over to her.

"Uh…..No! Rowlet!" shouted the kids.

"Steenee!" screamed Steenee.

"Rowlet fell for Lilligant's Sweet Scent." said Rotom.

"Marowak, now, Bonemerang!" shouted Kiawe.

"Maro…Wak!" shouted Marowak, throwing its bone at Salazzle, who then dodges it.

"Turtonator…let's do it." said Kiawe.

"Turta…" said Turtonator.

"The zenith….of my mind….of body and spirit! Like the great mountain of Akala!" shouted Kiawe as he and Turtonator do their Z-Move. "Become a raging fire a burn! Inferno Overdrive!"

"Turta.."

"Inferno Overdrive!"

"TURTONATOR!" bellowed Turtonator as it releases its biggest flamethrower at Salazzle.

"Salazz…..Salazz…." said Salazzle, looking at Marowak and Turtonator as both attacks hit it. "Salazz!" After a huge fire ball explosion from both attacks, Salazzle was on its back, too stunned to move.

"Wak!" said Marowak, its bone returned to it, then nodded to Turtonator in satisfaction.

"Fantastic job, you two." Kiawe said, praising both of them. Ash, Jordan, Gladion and Lillie continued to chase after Lusamine while on Solgaleo as UB-01 Symbiont placed more obstacles. Just then, another one of Lusamine's Pokémon was sent out to battle.

"Absol!" said Lusamine's Absol.

"Absol!" Gladion exclaimed, seeing his mother's Pokémon.

"Wow." said Jordan.

"You know Absol too?" asked Ash.

"That right." said Gladion. "That Absol was Umbreon's faithful training partner."

"Absol!" shouted Absol, sending Razor Wind towards them.

"Umbreon, use Dark Pulse!" shouted Gladion.

"Bre!" shouted Umbreon, sending its black orbs to Absol while UB-01 takes off with Lusamine still its prisoner.

"Great, Umbreon." said Gladion.

"Breon." said Umbreon.

"Meeko, its Aura time." said Jordan, trying to figure out Absol.

"Lucar…" said Meeko, nodding as she closes her eyes for a moment, sending out a wave.

"What's Meeko doing?" asked Gladion.

"She's sensing the aura of your mom's Pokémon." said Jordan as Meeko opens her eyes. "She's trying to sense what Absol is feeling right now."

"Lucario, Lucar, Lucari." Meeko said to Jordan and Ash, telling them what Absol was feeling.

"Absol's feeling angry." said Ash. "I don't know if it's feeling angry because of Lusamine or if its angry because Lusamine's angry."

"Wow." said Gladion.

"Thanks, Meeko." said Jordan.

"Pikachu!" said Pikachu.

"Lucario." said Meeko.

"Hey, Gladion." said Lillie as Solgaleo walks up next to him and his Pokémon.

"Ash, Jordan, take Lillie and get out of here!" said Gladion.

"'Kay, got it." said Ash and Jordan nodded.

"I said that I was going to save mother and I will." Lillie said to her brother.

"Pika! Lucar!" said Pikachu and Meeko as they take off with Solgaleo and their trainers while Gladion turns to face his mother's Pokémon.

"Absol. I'm your opponent now…." said Gladion.

"Sol…." said a curious Absol before sending out an Ice Beam. Gladion and his Pokémon dodged the Ice Beam, only for Silvally to be caught in it as Absol's Ice Beam freezes its feet.

"Silvally!" cried Gladion, turning to see Silvally frozen in place. Silvally struggled against the ice, trying to get his feet out of the ice as Absol uses Mean Look on Umbreon and Lycanroc.

Both of them stood there, frozen in fear from Absol's attack. "Absol used Mean Look." Gladion said to himself, seeing what Absol had done.

Further up, Lusamine and UB-01 were cornered by Jordan, Ash and Lillie. "Why are you getting in my way?!" screamed Lusamine. "I hate you! I really hate you!"

She then sends out her final Pokémon, Clefable. "Fable." said Clefable, in a monotone voice as Ash and Lillie gasped. "Clefa…."

"It's okay, Lillie. We can handle this!" said Ash.

"Says who." said Jordan, fearfully.

"Not me." said Meeko, placing her paws over her eyes.

"Wait, Ash. Let me take care of it." said Lillie, standing before Clefable. "That Clefable….out of all my mother's Pokémon, Clefable was my closest friend." She then walks over to Solgaleo. "Now, go after my mother, please?"

"Clefa…ble!" shouted Clefable, using its Moonblast move, creating a pink ball of energy and throws it at Lillie.

"Look out!" shouted Ash and Jordan when Emma and Lycanroc used Accelerock, protecting Lillie.

"Thank you, Lycanroc and Emma." said Lillie.

"Great, Lycanroc." said Ash.

"Awesome job, Emma." said Jordan.

"Both of you, stay right here and battle with Lillie, 'kay?" said Ash.

"Roc!" said Lycanroc.

"Lycanroc!" added Emma.

"Leilani, Rogue, Toph, Harmony. Stay here and help them, okay?"

"Trumbeak!"

"Salan!"

"Mudbray!"

"Oricori!"

"Okay! Both of you will rescue mother, right?" asked Lillie.

"You know we will!" said Ash.

"To the end of time." said Jordan.

"Let's go, Pikachu, Meeko, Solgaleo!" said the brother and sister, running off after Lusamine.

"Pika!" shouted Pikachu as he and Meeko jumped up onto Solgaleo, then takes off.

"Clefable, snap out of it!" Lillie called out.

"Cle….fable!" shouted Clefable, using Dazzling Gleam.

"Salandit!" shouted Heru, used Will-o-Wisp, shooting out several bluish white flames towards Clefable, who dodges his attack. Lycanroc, Emma, Jyoti, Leilani, Harmony and Lyra tried their attacks but were knocked back by Clefable.

"Snowy, Powder Snow!" said Lillie.

"Vul….pix!" shouted Snowy, sending cold air towards Clefable, who felt the freezing cold.

"Cle…..fable!" shouted Clefable, using Dazzling Gleam again when Jyoti stomps her front hooves, creating a green barrier in front of Lillie while Lycanroc and Emma used Rock Throw.

"Fa…." said Clefable, getting knocked back from a double Rock Throw. Taking off her backpack, Lillie takes out her Clefairy doll.

"Clefable, look at this!" said Lillie as she starts walking over to her mother's cherished Pokémon. "You see, I'm not very good at battling. So I'm going to have to battle you in my own way.

"Cle!" shouted Clefable, using Moonblast again and directs it straight for Lillie herself, causing both Lycanroc and Emma to send another round of Rock Throw.

"Lycanroc?" questioned Lycanroc.

"Lycan." said Emma.

"Clefable? Remember how it used to be?" Lillie asked. "How you and I used to play with this Clefairy doll together all the time?"

[Flashback]

"I'll be the mommy." Young Lillie said to Clefable when it was just a Cleffa. "Clefairy's the big sister."

Cleffa then jumps onto Lillie's toy Clefairy, giving it a hug. Soon after, Cleffa had evolved into Clefairy and Lillie was placing a bow into her hair.

"There." said Young Lillie, then looks at the two. "Wow, you two match! It's just like you're twins!"

"Clefa…" said Clefairy. The scene changed to now Clefable holding Clefairy in her arms as Lillie rocks back and forth on a rocking Ponyta.

"Take good care of Clefairy." Young Lillie said to Clefable. "You're its big sister, Clefable."

"Clefable! Fable! Fa!" said Clefable, smiling as she plays with the toy.

[Flashback ends]

"Fa….." growled Clefable as Lillie got closer.

"Do you remember how we would have so much fun playing house every day?" asked Lillie, walking closer as she gives Clefable a huge smile on her face. Struggling, Clefable closes her eyes as she starts to use Dazzling Gleam.

Snowy and the others were about to go in and protect Lillie when she stops them. "Fa…." said Clefable as Lillie goes in for a hug while the other Pokémon cried out in warning.

"Clefable….remember, please?" asked Lillie, hugging her oldest friend. "Touching my hand, hearing my voice…Come on. Touch our Clefairy doll. You can feel it. I know you can."

"Cle…fa…"

"Although you're being controlled by an Ultra Beast…I know you havent forgotten in your heart. Those wonderful days. So sweet. Days that we're never going to forget." said Lillie, hugging Clefable a little harder. "I won't let you go. You…mother…and all the other Pokémon. I've got to have you all back."

Just then, Clefable lets her attack go as Snowy cried out in fear. "Clefable? I love you." Lillie said as Clefable's eyes went wide at her declaration. Clefable takes a step back and looked up at Lillie.

"You do remember, don't you?" asked Lillie.

"Fable!" Clefable exclaimed happily with open arms as a grin appeared on Lillie's face.

"You're back." said Lillie. Solgaleo leapt from stone to stone as it took Ash, Jordan and their Pokémon further up.

"'Kay guys, hang in there!" said Ash. "We're close. We can do it! We'll catch up to Lillie's mom!"

"Yeah!" said Jordan.
