Now, normally, when you think of Friday the 13th, you'd think of the film series that featured the character, Jason Voorhees, or the subject of bad luck and everything associated with superstitions such as opening an umbrella inside the house, a black cat crossing your path, stepping on a crack on the sidewalk, walking under a ladder, spilling some salt... You know, that sort of hocus pocus and fictitious jazz that frankly, nobody truly believes in, and is only designed to give a good scare to some people.

However, on this particular Friday the 13th, we find Sarah's Magearna joining Lillie and Snowy at their mansion home.

Following the girls' training regime and after Stufful's misadventure that allowed her to learn Superpower and overcome her fear of fighting, Sarah finally introduced the rest of the gang, Asha, Race, Nikki, James, the Alola Professors, and her real family to Zelda and Link. Naturally, there was a lot of shock and amazement involved and even Burnet and Kukui can't but feel incredibly giddy over some additional new Pokemon never before seen by anybody outside of Paldea being discovered.

Nikki was blown away by the two Paradox Pokemon but given his affection and affinity for Dragon Types, James, in particular, was over the moon when Link mentioned to him that he's the Water/Dragon Dual Type ancestor of Suicune.

The little princess also showed everybody else the necklaces Zelda once wore around her neck and gave one of them to Race (as predicted) and he too couldn't help but feel that in a way, the necklaces they now have were alive, something that's too big of a mystery for everyone to solve at this point.

But, in Rotom-Dex's case, he was fuming with jealousy all over again as the girls and Rotoscope were able to discover another new species of Pokemon he knew absolutely nothing about let alone the distant ancestor of the North Wind and the futuristic counterpart of the Grassland Pokemon.

Rotoscope managed to recount all of the data he had on Zelda and Link's species but as he mentioned to the girls and Tsukumaro prior, it wasn't much for him to go on despite Professor Sada and Professor Turo's efforts on supposedly studying them. However, Kukui had an idea to fix that little issue which was to have them become a research project for the little princess to study herself so she and her Rotom Phone can collect any additional data regarding their behavior, their move sets, their abilities, and so on.

For Sarah, she was interested and it was perfect for her since she would eventually get to know more about their origins if she and her family would get the chance to check out the Paldea Region.

Thanks to Rotoscope's help, Burnet and Kukui learned that Zelda's move set was, in many ways, similar to Virizion's move set. Oddly enough, for them, apart from Psyblade, Zelda, as Iron Leaves, didn't have Double Kick, Double Team, Coaching, Grassy Glide, or Secret Power even though she retained Megahorn, Giga Drain, Sacred Sword, Swords Dance, Magical Leaf, Close Combat, Energy Ball, and Focus Blast. But, even so, that didn't bother the little princess.

Now, Sarah and her Magearna were visiting Lillie and Snowy for the day because they were helping Lillie and Snowy uncover some clues they needed to find out what happened to Mohn and bring him back to Alola. While the little princess looked inside the library for anything to give them leads, her Magearna joined Lillie and Snowy inside her father's study as the Ice Type student opened the cabinet and looked at the Shiny Magearna that had been brought and left here along with the original Magearna for her best friend for them to find.

While reminiscing on whatever memories she had with Mohn and her, her family, and Sarah's discovery, she looked back in her father's journey to a passage she noticed which he had written time and time again, "'The Soul Heart is the key', Father wrote that over and over..."

Sarah returned with some other books that could give them some clues on Mohn's previous or current whereabouts and later, after going through his notes and making theories on the Soul Heart for the Shiny Magearna, the two of them decided to reactivate the Soul Heart of the deactivated Artificial Pokemon for any more leads. Going to her Magearna, Lillie carefully took its Soul Heart out and they went to work, using two electric cords attached to a small battery the two best friends acquired. They managed to turn it on but not without activating a self-defense shock mechanism that took all of them, Snowy, and Magearna by surprise as they yelped in pain and bewilderment.

"Uh, Lillie, maybe we should shy away from using electricity to shock your Magearna awake, okay?" Sarah squirmed nervously.

"Yeah, that scared the pants out of me!" agreed Snowy, shivering.

"But, we Pokemon don't wear pants or any clothing, Ms. Snowy," Magearna replied to the younger Alolan Vulpix.

"That's a figure of human speech, Magearna."

"Oh, of course. Apologies, heh..."

"Yeah, good idea," agreed Lillie, feeling a little squeamish.

Later, once they calmed down from their brief scare, Lillie polished her Shiny Magearna and smiled happily before she placed the recharged Soul Heart back into its proper place only to get no change in the Shiny Artificial Pokemon. The girls didn't give up because, after a few hours of waiting, Lillie eventually fell asleep on her father's desk while she went over his notes with Snowy sleeping on her lap. Sarah, on the other hand, stayed awake with her own Magearna and paced around the guest room they were given as the pair tried to figure out another way to wake up her Shiny counterpart.

But then, the journal fell from Lillie's hands as the pages suddenly turned, startling Snowy awake before she suddenly noticed one of the pages that had something they never noticed before when she and her human mother started looking through Mohn's keepsake.

"Oh..." Snowy cooed curiously before she licked Lillie awake to get her attention and have her see the page. "Mommy?"

"Hmm, mmm... Hmm? Oh! My goodness! Sorry, Snowy, I guess I must've fallen asl-hmm?" Lillie chuckled sheepishly before she noticed the page and gasped in surprise and awe just as Sarah and her Magearna arrived to check on the pair.

"Lillie, you okay...?" the little princess asked just as Lillie picked up her father's journal and smiled warmly with a nod before she showed the page that featured a drawing of both of their Magearna and Mohn's Zoroark, Bones, curled around them both after her father acquired them (greatly surprising her best friend and Magearna as they gasped).

Pokemon Sun & Moon - The Warrior Princess

An hour or so later, Lillie and Sarah decided to take a break from their research into Mohn's current whereabouts for some milk and cookies while they kept the journal marked on the page showing the drawing of their Magearna and Bones together. They were soon joined by Gladion as he returned to see how his sister and their friend had been getting on with their progress on finding out what happened to Mohn when in truth, they asked Hobbes to bring him over so they can show Bones Lillie's Magearna.

"Lillie, Sarah?" he called, getting their attention along with Magearna and Snowy.

"Gladion," Lillie smiled, feeling glad to see her brother again.

"I'll admit, I was surprised... To find out what you've discovered in Father's journal after you mentioned this to Hobbes and he got in touch with me soon after," he admitted as he sat on the couch across from them on the coffee table.

"I'm sorry if we made you worry. But, we do have some good news," Lillie replied as she then showed Gladion Mohn's drawing, making him blink in surprise. "I wanted you home so we can have Zoroark come to Father's study and see Magearna again."

"Zoroark, why?"

"I'm sure he was right by Father's side while he was doing all of his research, right?"

"That's true..."

"And, I've been thinking after we found the drawing; we should have a reunion between my Magearna and Zoroark since it's been a while since he's also seen her while he was wandering about. I was hoping that after we reunite them, he'd know something about where Father could last be seen and where he might've ended up after he went through the Ultra Wormhole all those years ago."

Gladion could only smile at how ingenious Lillie's idea from what she and Sarah found out is and take out Bones' Pokeball, "That's definitely something only the likes of you two can imagine. Come on out, Zoroark!"

Bones was immediately summoned before he noticed his master's children and their close friend and approached them, curious as to what they needed him for.

"Zoroark, will you come with us, please?" Lillie asked, leaving Bones puzzled as she, Sarah, Gladion, Magearna, and Snowy led him to Mohn's study (although he was rather surprised when he saw the little princess' guardian operating in working order).

When they entered Mohn's study, Bones soon got lost in the nostalgia of his master's room, sniffing everything in it as he recalled everything he and Mohn had been through until his disappearance which led him to go out into the wild until his fated reunion with his master's children.

"Magearna, look! We brought back someone who knows you very well. Zoroark," Lillie said to her Magearna as it remained silent and called Bones over.

"Hmm, huh?" Bones blinked in surprise as he turned to see Lillie and joined her before he saw and recognized the silent Shiny Artificial Pokemon in the hidden cabinet. "Magearna..."

"See this? It's Magearna, this is the Secret Princess Father found during his travels and left for me along with the guardian King Doug and Queen Delilah made for Sarah as a 5th birthday present."

Bones looked between Lillie's Shiny Magearna and Sarah's guardian and said, "So, our robotic princess is still here and you got the other one working..."

Sarah's Magearna beamed as she nodded to Mohn's partner, "Yes, my princess awakened me last year before we went on a journey around the world to find our royal majesties."

"I knew it! You do remember her!" Lillie grinned, feeling like they were getting somewhere.

"Yes," Gladion smiled softly, feeling a little elated himself.

"That's nice," Sarah added.

Seeing the reactions on the faces of his master's son and daughter as well as the little princess, Bones approached the motionless Shiny Magearna and decided to use his illusions to show them the past he and Mohn shared which could provide them the lead they need to discover where he ended up at, and possibly, activate the Shiny Magearna's Soul Heart.

Sarah blinked but she, Gladion, and Lillie gasped in surprise as, through Bones' illusions, they were shown a memory of Mohn working on the motionless Magearna after buying them from his travels and bringing them to his home with the Ice Type student in her infancy while she was in her baby cushion.

"It's Father! But, how...?"

"Zoroark's illusions, this one's when you were still a baby and Father returned with your and Sarah's Magearna," Lillie and Gladion said, stunned as they saw Baby Lillie cooing and calling for Mohn as she reached out to him.

Mohn smiled as he turned to his infant daughter and gently picked her up. "There, there, I'm here. Your Highness, Princess Lillie? Right this way, please," he cooed as he carefully placed her close to the two Magearna and tried to reach out to them with a curious coo, babbling as she then crawled to the Pokemon.

"You're as curious as babies get," Gladion chuckled, embarrassing Lillie as she blushed at him.

"Hmph! I'll have you know I was just a baby at that point," she retorted, her blush still on her face as Mohn spoke to her baby self and the two Magearna.

"Lillie, I want you and Magearna to be great friends. And, Magearna, as soon as you're moving again, please take care of Lillie..."

Lillie gave a light gasp after hearing her father's wish to her and Sarah's Magearna, feeling a little startled that Mohn wished for Sarah's guardian to protect her as well in addition to the Shiny Magearna he left behind for her.

"Protect my sweet princess, won't you? She's my precious little ray of sunshine, after all..."

Baby Lillie continued to coo and babble but she soon started to grunt while, to Mohn's surprise, she pushed herself to stand, "Whoa..."

At that moment, a younger Lusamine and Gladion, who was no older than a little schoolboy at the time, came into the study after arriving back from a day at school and work at Aether Paradise.

"We're home!" Schoolboy Gladion greeted.

"Hi, everyone," smiled Lusamine before she saw Baby Lillie standing on her feet for the first time before she ran down to her, ecstatic to see her baby daughter finally standing. "Oh, Lillie, look at you..."

"You can stand like a big girl now! Good job, Lillie!" Schoolboy Gladion praised his infant sister.

"What a good baby girl, my beautiful little princess, Lillie," Mohn grinned as he cooed back at her and Lusamine's daughter.

This was a heartwarming moment for Lillie to know and remember (despite being a baby back then) that Mohn loved her dearly before his disappearance sometime later and she started to cry, prompting Sarah's Magearna to comfort her as she wiped away her tears. She then walked over to her Shiny Magearna and gently held it in a hug as her tears threatened to trail down her eyes and cheeks again.

"Oh, Father... I miss you so much," she sniffed before one of her tears fell on the Shiny Magearna and little sparkles came out of her Pokemon princess' eyes.

"Ah!" Snowy gasped in surprise, seeing the Shiny Magearna start to glow in a bright light which also caught Lillie's attention.

"Huh?" she blinked in bewilderment as she saw her Magearna's Soul Heart glowing a bright purple and chimed as it shimmered in its veil of light.

Shielding their eyes from the veil of light as it became brighter, Lillie, Gladion, Bones, and Snowy along with Sarah and her Magearna grunted before the light began to die down and they looked at the Shiny Magearna. Several tense moments passed between them until they eventually saw Lillie's Magearna eventually beeping, standing on her own two feet and her eyes glowing as she looked around curiously.

The group gasped in surprise and delight as they realized that Lillie's love for her father and her wish to reunite with him again had activated the Shiny Artificial Pokemon, fulfilling Mohn's wish for his baby girl and their family's Secret Princess.

"She's awake!"

"Lillie, you did it..." Bones and Sarah breathed.

The Shiny Magearna continued to beep curiously as it looked at the surprised and silent Lillie and greeted her with a pop of its right arm's metal hand, making some flowers for her to say "hello" to her.

"...Oh, thank you, thank you so much, Magearna," Lillie blinked as she took the flowers and a big grin appeared on her face while her Artificial Pokemon beeped, "You're...you're awake. It's wonderful, you're awake! You're finally awake! I'm so happy! Thank goodness you're awake!"

The Ice Type student happily hugged her Magearna as she beeped, sharing her fellow princess and human charge's happiness as she waved her hands up and down in elation with Snowy jumping up and down ecstatically (for she and Lillie not only have another Pokemon in the family but her human partner's remaining link to her father is finally active, resulting in another playmate for her).

"YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY, YAY~!"

Next Monday came, May 16th, and everybody was back in school for their next lesson as Ash, Mallow, Asha, Sophocles, Race, Lana, and Kiawe waited for Sarah and Lillie to arrive. Gladion also decided to join them so he can tag along with his little sister for the day, all three wanting to break the good news to the others.

"Alola!" Sarah and Lillie called, gathering the group's attention.

"Alola!" everybody called before they all gasped and were completely taken aback to see Lillie's Shiny Magearna and Gladion with the pair, Snowy, and the little princess' family. "Magearna!"

"Everybody, I'd like you to officially meet my Secret Princess, my Shiny Magearna! Magearna, these are my, Gladion, and Sarah's friends: Ash, Asha, Kiawe, Sophocles, Race, Lana, and Mallow, we all go to school here," Lillie introduced her Shiny Magearna as she beeped happily in greeting to the group before them.

"Awesome! You got your Magearna to wake up!"

"You finally did it, Lillie!"

"That's great!"

"I knew you could do it!" Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Sophocles cheered, feeling proud of Lillie.

Lillie giggled humbly as she replied, "I didn't do anything, it was thanks to Father's Zoroark that she was able to wake up. Though, Sarah's Magearna and my princess had lots to do with it."

Then, she donned a serious face as she told everybody, "Everyone, I have something to say."

"Uh, what is it?" Ash asked, puzzled.

"You see, right after Magearna finally woke up..."

(Flashback)

During her, Gladion, Snowy, Magearna, Sarah, and Bones' official introduction to Lillie's Secret Princess, after Snowy cheered for the Shiny Magearna's awakening, there was a surprise that immediately followed in their wake. On Mohn's Z-Ring, Lillie's Icium Z began to glow, surprising everybody again as they looked at his Z-Ring and the Z-Crystal resting on it as it gave off an arctic blue glow.

"Lillie, look!" Gladion called, getting his sister's attention and having her notice her Icium Z glowing as she gasped in wonder.

The Z-Power from Mohn's Z-Ring and Lillie's Z-Crystal that was generated traveled to her Shiny Magearna who, after absorbing the energy, turned around and then shot a focused beam of purple light that shot out of her Soul Heart just as it did with Sarah's Magearna. But, the beam was pointed at the wall.

"What's the matter, Magearna?" Lillie asked as Shiny Magearna walked forward and pointed her family, Sarah, and her original-colored counterpart to Mohn on a family picture that hung on the wall where her beam pointed them towards.

"Father?!"

"Magearna, are you saying your light is pointing us to where Father could be?"

"Just like with my Mom and Dad for my Magearna... You're saying you know where Mohn currently is right now?" gawked the three humans in awe and wonder, getting affirmative and happy beeps from the Shiny Magearna as she nodded and aimed her light as to where Mohn could be.

Feeling like they would need a definite location as to where the Shiny Magearna's beam from her Soul Heart could lead them regarding Mohn's current location, Sarah found an old blank sheet of paper resting on his desk and brought out her wand before pointing it and telling it, "Show us where the light from Lillie's Magearna's Soul Heart is pointing us concerning her and Gladion's father, Mohn!"

Soon, words began to appear on the scroll as everybody in the study gathered and looked on but what was now written on the scroll shocked and amazed Sarah and Lillie as it never occurred to them to look in that peculiar place the last time they went to it.

"Is that even possible? I mean, I knew some people were living there since the two of us and our class went to that place for a field trip but not once did I imagine he'd been thrown in there after going through that Ultra Wormhome!" Sarah shrieked in disbelief.

"Amazing! So, that must be where Father is right now after he vanished all those years ago!" Gladion added, stunned.

"Sarah, Gladion, this is it! This is the answer, that must definitely be where Father is according to my Magearna's Soul Heart beam! We've got to tell Mother, now!" Lillie decided, now knowing where they must go to find Mohn.

"Tell me what?" spoke Lusamine, surprising the trio and the Pokemon as she entered Mohn's study to see them.

But, her sights were soon fixed on her daughter's Shiny Magearna and she gasped in delight as she shrieked, "Magearna, you're awake! How marvelous to see you!"

Shiny Magearna beeped happily, greeting her human charge's mother as Lillie gave Lusamine a bright smile and determined glare as she told her, "Yes, Mother. And, we finally have some good news! We now know exactly where Father could be!"

"R-Really?" Lusamine blinked in bewilderment, hoping that any news of her missing husband was just a dream.

Sarah nodded as she confirmed, "We've just found out, thanks to Lillie's Magearna's Soul Heart beam, that Mohn could be in Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier's old home the whole time. And, we've never bothered to look more thoroughly while we were on our school trip there during our first visit to the Galar Region!"

Lusamine gasped in surprise as she recalled the name of the location Sarah mentioned, "The Crown Tundra?"

(Flashback End)

"The Crown Tundra?!" Ash, Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, and Sophocles echoed in shock.

"No way! You think your father could really be there?"

"After going through that Ultra Wormhole all those years ago?"

"I never thought he could end up there in our world given the amount of Ultra Wormholes leading to other worlds as we discovered during the Necrozma incident!"

"That's amazing!"

"You'll finally get to see him again!"

Asha and Race blinked in surprise as the former replied, "The Crown Tundra? Never heard of that."

"You seriously think Lillie's old man could be there, Island Girl?"

Sarah nodded to her sister and boyfriend as she replied, "If her Magearna's Soul Heart beam is pointing us there, there's no doubt about it. And, it's the southern snowy realm of the Galar Region that was once home to the King of Bountiful Harvests himself, Calyrex, along with Glastrier and Spectrier, Sis. We went there while doing a field trip in the region last year and I did an assignment involving them with one of our friends, Victor."

"Hmm," Glastrier hummed.

"Son?" Calyrex asked, looking towards Glastrier (as he was in his Shadow Rider Form, deciding to ride on Spectrier for the day).

"Actually, now that you mention it... I remember hearing rumors about or seeing some old man walking about. He looked like he was lost until he suddenly vanished. Most likely, somebody found and rescued him before they took him-OW!" the Wild Horse Pokemon mused before a shocked and angry Snowy harshly slapped him.

"You IDIOT! If you knew that was Mommy's daddy you saw while running around that place, why didn't you tell us about him sooner?!" she barked angrily.

"I didn't know it was him, honest! You've never mentioned anything about him so how was I supposed to know he wasn't just a random tourist?!" Glastrier replied, sweatdropping in panic as he reeled back from her fury.

"You still should've told us! And, you never said anything about him, too, why's that?!" Snowy pouted before she turned her fury on the Swift Horse Pokemon.

"I saw nothing of the sort! I've been wandering through that tundra for years and I've never known another human besides the townsfolk in Freezington living there apart from that man my half-witted yet observant brother caught sight of during his roaming about before we reunited with Father. So, as you can guess, Ms. Snowy, I've no idea your human's father was even there," Spectrier snorted indignantly, offended by Snowy's accusation.

"Enough. Please, young lady, control yourself. Forgive us for not saying anything about that man but none of us, even I, haven't an Abomasnow of a clue that the man one of my sons saw while roaming around our old home was Ms. Lillie's father. Whatever sightings we each had of him during our time apart from each other was hearsay and even if we did know it was Sir Mohn, nobody would understand us let alone me if I didn't have a human host to talk to anybody at Freezington," Calyrex said before he then apologized to Snowy.

"Well, anyway, we've talked it over with Lusamine and Kukui after we confirmed his current location. And, with her blessings, we agreed to go today and he excused us from class for the day so we can find Mohn and bring him back," Sarah noted.

"I'll be going with them. If Father is really in the Crown Tundra and if Magearna's Soul Heart beam really is pointing us to him there, we'll"

"But, don't you want us to help you look for him while you're there?" Mallow asked.

"It'll be easier for us to cover more ground so we can look for your dad, Lillie."

"The more, the merrier!" Ash and Pikachu added.

"Actually, guys, I think it'd be best if Lillie, Gladion, and our families go alone for this one," Sarah declined, surprising the others. "We don't want to give Mohn a nasty surprise should we find him and you come along with us. It's been some time since he's seen anybody after he crossed over to the Crown Tundra in our world."

"We're not sure if the Ultra Wormhole Father disappeared through did drop him off at the Crown Tundra somehow and we have no idea how he's doing ever since he got there so we felt it'd be wise to see for ourselves if it is really him that's back," agreed Lillie.

Gladion nodded as he said to the others, "We appreciate your feelings but we need him to see us and Sarah first so he can know that he's really back in our world for good before we get him back to Alola and have him meet all of you."

"But, will you guys be okay on your own while you're at the Crown Tundra? It's not an easy place for you to traverse without any snow gear," Kiawe asked worriedly.

"And, it's not exactly a small realm, Mohn could be anywhere and he might not be in Freezington let alone the tree where the three Galar Legendary Birds roost at."

"Or, at the temple where the Galar Legendary Titans are at."

"Or, at Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier's old castle," Sophocles, Lana, and Mallow reminded.

Lillie smiled as she nodded, "We said we'd do this and so we shall."

"Ooh, another field trip feast for the eyes, kids?" Discord chimed in as he popped inside the classroom and floated above them. "I just love trips involving family reunions!"

"Let me guess, you're planning on coming too, Discord?" Sarah smiled knowingly, shaking her head in amusement at him.

"Well, it's not as if I've anything better to do and everybody in Equestria's got their hooves tied so why not a little family outing to help you reunite a lost father with his own? I'd love to see how much fun he can be with a little chaos."

Sarah looked at Lillie and Gladion as she requested, "What do you two think? Should we have him join us if it means doing a fast-track search and rescue?"

"Sure, Sarah, if it helps, he'll be our best choice to help us cover more ground and find any more clues as to Father's whereabouts in addition to following my Magearna's Soul Heart beam," Lillie agreed as Gladion gave a nod.

Sarah smiled as she turned back to Discord and nodded before she gave him a firm look, "Alright, you can come along and help. But, remember, nobody in the Crown Tundra knows about you and I don't want the mayor there and the townsfolk getting any ideas so you got to stay out of sight and take it easy with your games until we're back home after we found Mohn."

"Oh, goodie! I guess it's time for me to break out my yellow baby again, she's been dying to go out on another voyage!" Discord chirped excitedly as he snapped his fingers and his Yellow Submarine reappeared before he donned his admiral outfit again.

"Well, if you're going to the Crown Tundra with your friend and her brother, I'll go with you. I can't let you go out there by yourselves," Asha decided, making her choice to go with her sister and her two friends.

"Me, too. It'll be easier for us to keep an eye on you if we go together," Race nodded, getting a nod from Sarah.

"Thanks, Race. And, you're gonna love it, Sis," the little princess replied, seeing the pair's arrangements as a win-win for her.

"Don't get into too much trouble while we're gone," Lillie smiled to the others as Sarah activated her Wrist Com and summoned Nebby and Nebula's carriages, allowing the majority of her family (including Asha's Tyranitar) and Race's team to enter while her larger Pokemon and the dragons prepared to fly alongside their party.

"See ya when we get back!" Sarah called as she, Lillie, their Magearna, Blitz, Curly, Snowy, Bones, Gladion, Discord, Asha, Proud, Ziracon, Solar, Athena, Robbie, and Bella entered the submarine.

"See ya later!"

"Make us proud, you guys!" Ash and Kiawe smiled as the five friends waved their goodbyes and best wishes for their successful search for Mohn.

"So, this is what a submarine looks like from the inside," gasped an awestruck Gladion as he and an equally-surprised Bones looked around Discord's submarine along with Lillie's Magearna, who beeped curiously as she observed the craft's interior.

"Discord is always full of surprises with his chaos magic," Lillie giggled to her brother.

"Everybody comfy? Let's set sail!" Discord ordered as everybody buckled up and they departed for the Crown Tundra but not before picking up Lusamine and the rest of Sarah's human family with them for the search and rescue mission at hand.

One quick cruise later (and after a surprising musical performance of the pedal steel guitar by Proud, much to the male Haxorus' annoyance), the giant party soon arrived at the Crown Tundra and landed at a mass of snowy land some distance away from Freezington (and, thankfully, also away from the prying eyes of the mayor and his fellow citizens) to begin their search for Mohn. The group inside the submarine exited the craft along with the Pokemon inside Nebby and Nebula's carriages, all of them and the dragons now decked out in winter gear (courtesy of Discord himself) so as to help them cope with the freezing temperatures of the Galar Region's beautiful southern realm of ice and snow.

"Wicked," Race breathed, staring in awe at the sight of the Crown Tundra for the first time (having not seen it the previous time he, his girlfriend, and their friends and families came to Galar).

"So, this is the Crown Tundra. Nice place you guys had here," Asha admitted in wonder at the Crown Tundra's beauty to Calyrex, Spectrier, and Glastrier as she looked at them.

"Yes, it's such a wonderful realm our beloved Galar is proud to have. My boys were galloping through the snow when I lost them so many years ago but with the help of your sister the previous year, I was able to reunite with them and regain my full power," Calyrex smiled sentimentally, taking in the beauty, sights, and sounds of his, Glastrier, and Spectrier's old home.

Lillie's Magearna then beeped before she activated her Soul Heart beam again and pointed it north in their current direction.

"By the looks of your Magearna's Soul Heart beam, Ms. Lillie, she's pointing up north of the tundra," Doug deduced.

"And, it's along the path leading to Mr. Calyrex's old home," Sarah's Magearna added.

"She might know the way to Sir Mohn," nodded Delilah.

"Let's go!" Piplup called as they set off and followed Lillie's Shiny Magearna to Mohn's current location through the realm.

However, several minutes later, they found themselves in the middle of a whiteout as a blizzard immediately poured down on them. The heroes' vision was so bad that they had to trudge their way through the snow but it was no problem for the Ice Pokemon with them as they weren't bothered by the cold, anyway.

"I never thought we'd get caught in a whiteout so fast!"

"Indeed, I guess I've underestimated the weather in our old home after getting used to Alola's tropical climate for so long!" Sarah and Calyrex bantered.

"Yes, it was clear just a few minutes ago!" agreed Lusamine as she struggled to get her bearings before looking back toward her children.

"Are you two okay back there?"

"Yeah!" Gladion and Lillie called to her.

"I'm alright, Lusamine," Bones reassured.

"Me, too!" Snowy chirped happily, not minding the blizzard.

"We're okay but the blizzard's getting worse with each step we take after those clouds came in fast!" Snowflake added.

"We'll be okay as long as we stick together and don't get lost in this whiteout!" Tundra agreed.

"Good thing the cold never bothers never bothers us Ice Types, not even a blizzard like this can slow us down!" grinned Frosmoth much to the jealousy and chagrin of his Pokemon brothers and sisters as they glared at him.

"Yippee for you," grumbled Piplup with a deadpanned glare.

"Forget your whining about the cold and man up, we got an old man to find!" Glastrier called up front as he, Spectrier, and Calyrex led the way.

"Of course, Ice Types such as Snowy and Sarah's Pokemon including Tundra, Snowflake, Glastrier, and Frosmoth are strong in this weather. And, I'm not surprised Calyrex and Spectrier also don't mind the cold given that they've lived here for so long," smiled Gladion.

The long trudge continued on for several minutes until they went past a nearby pine tree and some snow fell off and fell in front of the group. This startled the two Magearna as Sarah's guardian went in front to protect her charge but Lillie's Shiny Magearna was scared real easily as she buzzed in fright and retracted into her ball form, causing her to slide down the hill.

"Magearna!" Lillie yelped as her Secret Princess rolled away.

"Zoroark, catch her, quick!" Gladion called, having Bones spring into action as he caught up with Magearna and held her tight, slowing her descent and stopping her as everyone else came to check up on her.

"Magearna?" Lillie cried as her Shiny Magearna popped back out, beeping curiously.

"Are you okay, friend?" Sarah's Magearna peeped worriedly, making her Shiny counterpart beep and buzz reassuringly.

"Thank goodness. Thank you, Zoroark," Lillie smiled in relief, thanking Bones for his quick rescue.

"I like to say we're getting close to where Mohn is but at the moment, we'll have to wait out this whiteout. It's too risky for us to go any further," Sarah claimed, realizing their current situation.

"Yeah, even the Night Furies and your big dragon man are not crazy enough themselves to brave out Mother Nature's snowy fringe-fest," Race added in agreement.

Sarah and Race were right; the little princess found out that one of the drawbacks Night Furies suffer from is that they are unable to live and survive in consistently freezing environments such as tundras, snowy mountains, or even arctic islands. All of them are in frigid conditions including ice-cold water and low temperatures and the Night Furies are not properly adapted to the cold weather and the Crown Tundra would be the worst of it for Shadow and his fellow Night Furies.

"I guess we're setting up camp until it dies down!" Asha suggested.

"In the middle of a blizzard?" Gladion asked, wondering what their next move would be.

"Luckily, I brought this along. And, with the details and instructions Tsukumaro gave me after he examined it and showed me his own, I made a few adjustments to it so it'll retain all of the features the magical tents from the Wizarding World had and have more of what we wanted now built into it, especially for large parties going on a camping trip or road trip including us," Sarah said as she brought out a cube that contained her parents' mobile tent before she threw it and activated it via her Wrist Com, immediately pitching it up with no problems at all.

"Great job, Island Girl," Race smiled.

"You and Tsukumaro are clever in finding your way with this new-fangled magical technology," Doug complimented his daughter.

"I'm just grateful our new and improved mobile tent didn't end up like Clarkson, Hammond, and May's RVs when they ended up as they did while they were on their way to Red Lake in the USA, Dad," as everybody went inside the tent to wait until the whiteout clears.

While everybody else went inside the tent and Sarah and Race's larger Pokemon decided to have a rest outside the tent but within several feet so as to provide a makeshift border for their party, the little princess' Ice Types opted to stand guard close to the tents with Calyrex, Glastrier, and Spectrier.

Nearby, a small dragon was watching the party in question; it was a medium-sized female dragon that had only a single pair of legs and a wyvern-like build with a dark-purple coloration and white shading on her underbelly and horn. She was around Lilac's size and sported a nasal horn with a somewhat square-shaped lower jaw that gave her an underbite and had translucent frills on the side of her face and two large fin-like spikes at the base of her tail. And, to top it all off, she had two small beard-like barbels sprouting from the bottom of her jaw which are much like the protrusions around her neck.

Curious as to why the group is out in the Crown Tundra, the dragon cooed before she walked over, using her wings to support herself while she greeted, "Hi..."

"Hey, hold it!" Snowflake called as she and Frosmoth got in front of her. "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"Yeah, we've had one too many baddies trespassing and ambushing us when we least expect it, buddy. I'd not try anything funny if I were you," Frosmoth agreed, eying the new dragon suspiciously and getting a nervous gulp from her.

"At ease, little ones. It's alright, she doesn't mean any harm since she's nothing like our enemies of the past," Calyrex called as he and Spectrier came over to her to inquire about her presence. "Little dragon, what brings you to this part of the Crown Tundra? This whiteout is not safe for a creature such as you even if you've been living here for Arceus-knows-how-long."

"Actually, I'm a Snowtail, he-he! I make my home out of anything from ice and snow, what are you doing out here, anyway?" the dragon, now known as a Snowtail, asked cheerfully.

"We're on a mission; we're helping a friend of our mom and her family find where their father/husband is out here but as you can see, this whiteout slowed us down when it came over," Arctozolt explained.

"A Magearna belonging to Princess Sarah's friend, Lillie, pointed us to here, the Crown Tundra, to where her father, Mohn, is and we're hoping to help find him and bring him back to our home region of Alola," added Permafrost.

"Maybe, I can help," the Snowtail cooed.

"Are you sure, young miss? Our search won't be easy and thanks to this whiteout, we have no idea where we are despite being in the direction where Lillie's Magearna's Soul Heart beam pointed us to," Chien-Pao warned.

"Sure, I'm sure! I'm a genius when it comes to finding my way through snow, ice, and blizzards!" grinned the Snowtail.

"In that case, we're much obliged and we thank you for your assistance, Miss. But, just to be sure, are there any more of you in my and my boys' home, or is it just you alone in these parts?" Calyrex questioned, accepting the Snowtail's help.

"I've two more with me," she replied, giving a roar from behind her and showing two more Snowtail dragons identical to her that appeared from her hiding spot in the whiteout.

"Hi/Hey," the two Snowtails greeted.

"Goodness, Sarah's going to be in for a shock when she finds out about you lot," Tundra blinked in surprise as Snowflake could only nod in agreement.

It took a couple of hours but eventually, the whiteout finally passed and the two families have clear skies once more. They exited the tent to continue the trek towards Mohn's current location but they were surprised to find that the larger Pokemon and dragons and the Ice Types standing guard were not alone as they noticed the three little Snowtails.

"Hey, who ordered another triplet from the orphanage?" Tyson quipped.

"Where did you three come from?" Tsukumaro blinked, not expecting any dragons to be living in the Crown Tundra.

"At ease, these three appeared from the whiteout while we were standing guard. They've been living in the Crown Tundra for a while so not even my sons and I knew about them. They call themselves Snowtails," Calyrex replied.

"Hey, yeah, Marena once told me about them but I never thought they'd actually be here," Sarah said.

"What did she tell you?" Asha quizzed.

"Despite their power, they're supposed to be part of the Stoker Dragon Class."

"What kind of power do they have?" Nebby questioned as the Snowtails answered by breathing ice instead of fire.

"Ice!" the humans unfamiliar with Snowtails gasped in shock while the dragons balked in total disbelief.

"Stoker Class dragons that can breathe ice in place of fire?!"

"But, that's impossible; dragons in the Stoker Class only breathe fire, and with their ability to breathe ice, they shouldn't even be in the Stoker Class!" Stormfly and Silver gawked, unsure of what to make of this revelation.

"Actually, girls, they are; Marena told me that Snowtails are cousins to the Terrible Terror species so that denial's null and void. And, believe it or not, their behavior is similar to that of the Terrible Terrors to a degree," Sarah rebutted.

"Three cousins? I've three cousins, I still have family?! SWEET!" Lilac cheered, grateful that she still has some remnants of a family left as she happily plastered herself onto the first Snowtail's face in a hug.

But, there was no time to celebrate the revelation of Lilac having a family as Lillie's Shiny Magearna activated her Soul Heart beam and pointed it directly at a little house in the distance which was up on the top of the hill they were on.

"It looks like your Magearna's pointing us north to that house, Ms. Lillie," David told the Ice Type student once they saw Mohn's location.

"Does that mean...Father's right over there?" Lillie asked her Secret Princess and her Magearna beeped in confirmation, prompting her to run ahead and see for herself.

"Lillie, wait!" Lusamine called.

"Ms. Lillie!" Tsukumaro shouted as Sarah, and Snowflake chased after her.

"Lillie!"

"Lillie, wait! Slow down, will ya?!" Snowflake and Sarah cried as Duke felt a strange presence and quickly followed after the trio.

Lillie panted as she ran and finally reached the little house in the middle of the snow her Magearna was pointing them to, hoping that her father would be there for them and their families to see and finally return to Alola. She knew that this was the moment of truth; if Mohn really was living there after somehow passing through another Ultra Wormhole to return to her and Sarah's world, there was no going back from this point onward, her hopes soaring higher than ever.

"Excuse me!" she called, only for nobody to answer as she looked around for any sign of life. "Maybe, no one's home..."

But, at that moment, Lillie's eyes widened as she heard the soothing musical sound of a piano being played inside, looking to the window by her right, and deciding to get closer to see through to the interior of the house. Ever since she found Mohn's study and her Shiny Magearna, following her and her friends' journey to find her best friends' birth parents, she had been learning the piano while practicing a song her father loved to play and upon hearing the first bars of the song being played from inside the house, the Ice Type student couldn't help but wonder who was playing the piano inside the house.

Just as she was about to reach the window, and Sarah, Snowflake, and Duke caught up with her, the door opened and she wheeled around to see who it was that stepped out. The one who opened the door and came out to see her was a familiar face she had seen in Bones' memories and her own but with the addition of a beard and the same green eyes she had. While Sarah, Duke, and Snowflake were shocked, a stunned Lillie gasped; the person she was now face to face with was her and Gladion and Lusamine's long-lost father/husband: Mohn.

Mohn was surprised as his daughter raced over to him and hugged him as she happily cried, "Father, it's you!"

But, he stared at her in genuine confusion and widened eyes as he echoed and asked his own daughter, "It's me? Who are you?"

Lillie gasped as she realized that it has been years since her father had seen her so she stepped back to face him properly and decided to clear things up to help him remember, "My name is Lillie. I know I was a baby the last time you saw me, Father, so you may not recognize me, but... I'm your daughter!"

You could hear a pin drop as the revelation soaked itself in through Mohn while Sarah looked at him in stunned awe along with Snowflake and Duke as her and Lillie's families finally caught up with them and gasped in shock and amazement at the sight of the man before them. Apart from the beard and the new clothing, Mohn looked as though he hadn't aged a day as if the entire incident with him disappearing through the Ultra Wormhole years ago was nothing but a bad dream.

"Impossible..."

"Is that, really...?"

"...Master Mohn?" Doug, Delilah, and Tsukumaro breathed, all of them David, and Donna (former queen) along with Nikki and James left in stunned shock.

"Is, is that...the human you once saw, Little Brother?" quizzed a shocked Spectrier to an equally-shocked Glastrier.

"...Yes, it's him," Glastrier nodded slowly.

"Remarkable..." Calyrex spoke, unsure of what to say next.

"Father...?" Gladion blinked, stunned.

"MASTER!" Bones cheered, happily hugging his human partner in overwhelming relief.

"There, there..." Mohn smiled as he rubbed Bones' mane before he turned to his son and asked him, "Is this your Pokemon?"

Lillie couldn't help but feel like there was something off about her father and Bones couldn't help but feel the same thing as he stared at his master in bewilderment while Gladion clarified, "It's Zoroark, Father, his name's now Bones. He's your partner, remember, Father?"

"Father, me?" Mohn repeated in surprise before he turned to Lillie, unsure of what to think. "Come to think of it, you called me 'Father' as well. But, what exactly did you mean by that?"

Everybody gathered gasped in silent shock as a horrible realization came to them; somehow, during and after the Ultra Wormhole incident, Mohn suddenly developed amnesia and so, he currently had no recollection of his past and of his family let alone what happened to him after moving to Alola and when he accidentally crossed over into Ultra Space.

"Princess, is Master Mohn...?" the Original Magearna peeped, fearing the answer everybody now knows already.

Sarah gulped fearfully for Lillie, her Magearna, Gladion, Bones, Snowy, and Lusamine as she told her guardian and everybody within earshot, "...Yes, I think, Mohn is suffering from amnesia."

Gladion gasped in shock and horror when he heard this and even Lusamine couldn't bear to think of it as she mournfully sighed, "Oh, Mohn..."

The man in question was further surprised when he heard this through his amnesia and he further horrified her when he cluelessly asked, "But, how is it that you know my name?"

That was all Lusamine could take as her fears over Sarah's realization of his amnesia took her over and she suddenly fainted in her horror, causing an alarmed Gladion, Nikki, and James to catch her before she could fall into the snow and pass out.

"Lusamine!" James cried in alarm as Lillie backed up in her horror and Sarah came over to comfort her.

"Ms. Lusamine..."

"Is this, man, the one you've hoped to find, for some time now...?" Donna (former queen) and David asked Lusamine gently, prompting the Aether Foundation director to sigh as she solemnly confirmed this and her worst fear while speaking to Mohn.

"I had been looking, for my husband, ever since we arrived... He's the father of my children, as well. We came to the Crown Tundra to find him after we found a lead on him in his old study..."

"Missing husband?" Mohn echoed in confusion.

Lusamine nodded again as she was helped to stand upright again and told him, "Yes. We were hoping to meet him here after my daughter's Magearna awakened and pointed us here with three of her friends' Pokemon leading the way and with her help to bring him home..."

Mohn smiled as he replied to his family, still suffering from his amnesia, "Oh! So, that explains why your children here mistook me for their father. It makes sense."

His family didn't know how to respond and not even the Last Royal Family knew how to help them deal with the revelation of Mohn's amnesia and to help him remember them and his past. It seemed as though they were at an impasse and were stuck at a wall just when they finally completed their mission to find him and bring him home to Alola.

Sensing their confusion, Mohn smiled warmly as he offered his family and their friends to join him, "You know what, I have an idea. Why don't you all come on in for a cup of tea? I'm sure you're exhausted from your long journey."

Everybody looked at each other regarding what they should do to help Mohn overcome his amnesia and remember his family but they all knew that this was the moment they had been waiting for. In hindsight, they silently agreed that something must be causing his amnesia and making him forget about Gladion, Lusamine, Shiny Magearna, Bones, and Lillie with the exception of Snowy. Duke, in particular, was the most suspicious as he stared between Mohn and the house he was in, feeling as though something inside it was making him forget the family of his human caretaker's friend and his own daughter.

Eventually, they gave each other knowing nods as Lusamine kindly accepted the offer, "Thank you for your kindness."

"We very much appreciate it, Sir," Sarah nodded as she gestured to all her dragons and a majority of her Pokemon to stay outside as there was no room for all of them to fit in save for Blitz, Curly, her Magearna, and Silvally.

"Thank you," Race and Asha agreed as the former returned all of his Pokemon save for Robbie and Bella and the latter returned Tyranitar with only Ziracon and Proud joining her.

"Come on in. Consider my house your house," Mohn smiled as the royal family and his family entered with the rest of their party staying outside to bear the cold again while trying to keep themselves entertained and getting to know Lilac's cousins.

This was the best option for them as they didn't want to give Mohn a fright which left Sunflare and Phoenix along with Pyre and Wildfire to keep everybody warm by using their Flame Jackets to keep the Grass Type Pokemon warm along with Virizion despite her protests. Even Nebby, Tepig, and Entei gave them a hand with the younger Sunne Pokemon using his inner heat to keep the younger and baby Pokemon warm while the latter two built a small campfire for them. As for the dragons that can help them, Elder and Alder took it upon themselves to block out the freezing winds while Winter, Aegis, Gale, and Haze cuddled close to her mate and cousins.

But, with the Ice Pokemon, Glastrier, Spectrier, and Calyrex, while some of them once again stood on guard like before, Snowy played with Arctozolt and Dracovish on the snow and ice, the fish-like Fossil Pokemon enjoying the environment of the Crown Tundra immensely while Dracozolt and Tundra stayed close by to watch over them and make sure Arctozolt didn't accidentally slip and fall over his flippers.

Inside his Crown Tundra house, Mohn prepared his guests some tea as the party sat down and tried to think about their next move while they watched on.

"Tell me, Mother, what do you think?" Gladion asked Lusamine.

"...It's as Sarah said, I think he's lost his memory after developing amnesia," Lusamine replied.

"Memory," Lillie breathed, now fully knowing this to be the case.

"Yes, I'm afraid his disappearance through the Ultra Wormhole had an effect on him that caused him to forget you," Tsukumaro nodded.

"Thank you for your patience," called Mohn as he came back with some tea and biscuits for everyone and handed his family and the royal family their cups. "It's hot so be careful. Here."

"Thank you so much," Lusamine thanked as she was given her cup.

"Here you go," Mohn smiled at Lillie as he gave his daughter her cup despite his amnesia before he handed the royal family their cups with the last one being given to the little princess. "There you are."

"Thank you," Sarah thanked as Mohn gave Bones, Snowy, Robbie, Bella, Silvally, Curly, Blitz, Duke, Proud, Ziracon, Persian, Mischief, and Absol plates full of biscuits for them to eat as well. "I hope you all are feeling hungry, too."

"Thank you, Sir," Blitz replied kindly as he, Curly, Bella, Robbie, and Duke helped themselves with Proud, Ziracon, Persian, Mischief, and Absol taking a few to eat as well.

However, as Duke ate the biscuit he had taken, he suddenly felt a strange presence coming from one of the other rooms close by and floated to Sarah while humming suspiciously.

"What's wrong, Duke?" Sarah asked quietly as she carefully drank her tea.

"Something's wrong, I sense we're not alone. Somebody else is in this house, something or someone, familiar... But, I can't seem to place it," he whispered discreetly just as a piano inside the house was being played, catching Lillie's attention as she recognized the song performed by the unknown musician.

"I almost forgot, let me introduce you to my daughter," Mohn realized once he heard the piano being played, shocking everybody again as Lusamine looked horrified, all of them realizing how serious his amnesia really is.

"Y-Y-Your daughter?!" she spluttered as Lillie, Gladion, and Sarah looked thunderstruck.

"It's really quite a coincidence. My daughter's name is Lillie, the same daughter as yours. Oh, Lillie!" Mohn added before calling out to his "daughter" but got no answer as he prepared to bring in the mysterious musician. "Hmm, I'll call her in."

Curious as to what her father meant, Lillie stood up and requested to him, "Um, would you mind, if I went with you?"

"But, Lillie..." Gladion breathed.

"What are you doing?"

"Lillie..." Asha and Race added, concerned for Lillie and how she'll take what she'll see.

"Lillie, are you sure?" Sarah quizzed her best friend, getting a determined nod from her as she wanted to know who Mohn was calling by her name.

"Of course, you can," Mohn nodded before he moved to the door Duke was now looking suspiciously at and the male Poison Pin Pokemon then floated to it before Lillie's amnesiac father knocked on it to alert the player of his presence with everybody else following. "Coming in."

He then opened the door to where a grand piano was being played and everybody saw the figure that Mohn thought was his own daughter, the similar hat and hairstyle to Lillie's being a dead giveaway. But, once they got a good look at Lillie's doppelganger and Duke narrowed his eyes at her, her shape changed and Lusamine, Lillie, Gladion, Sarah, Tsukumaro, Blitz, Curly, Silvally, Robbie, and Bella were all left in shock at the sight of a familiar head belonging to a certain Ultra Pillar from Ultra Space.

The strange presence Duke was feeling and giving off an Ultra Aura only he felt was none other than a Nihilego. But, unlike the original Nihilego, this Nihilego was female and a Shiny as the light blue headlining of the original was swapped for yellow headlining and it was just as, if not, more intelligent compared to her original counterpart as she played the piano with such grace and elegance that would put the mastery of a human pianist to shame. Amazingly, she didn't look threatening and seemed peaceful as she continued playing.

The sight of the female Ultra Beast, however, triggered painful memories for Lusamine, her children, Sarah, Silvally, and Blitz as they recalled everything they went through when the original Ultra Pillar took her as hostage and briefly merged with her.

"Is, that really..."

"An, Ultra Beast?" Race and Asha blinked, just as taken aback while David, Donna (former queen), Doug, and Delilah looked baffled.

"It can't be..."

"But, it is!" Nikki and James gawked, just as stunned.

"But, how...?"

"It shouldn't be here...!"

"Why...?" added an equally-thunderstruck Blitz, Curly, and Bones.

"But, that Nihilego... It's a Shiny because of its golden yellow bell flare headlining and it's playing the piano so effortlessly while being a little smaller, so why...?" Sarah pondered, speechless as she tried to make sense of what was going on and why the Nihilego before them seemed different while Duke looked on suspiciously.

"Get back, all of you!" Lusamine shouted, standing protectively over her children and friends.

"Excuse me, Lillie? We have guests," Mohn called the Shiny Nihilego, "Lillie", again, surprising everybody with him and allowing her to see their "guests".

But, thinking she was going to attack them despite her surprisingly docile nature, Gladion immediately took action as he called to Bones to defend them and stop her from attacking, "Zoroark!"

"Right!" Bones agreed, springing into action as he and Gladion prepared to fight, only for Sarah's Magearna and Lusamine to stop them as they held them back. "What the-?!"

"Please stop, Mr. Bones! Control yourself, don't do anything rash!" begged the original Magearna.

"Wait," agreed Lusamine to her son as everyone saw the Nihilego, "Lillie", suddenly coo at everyone in surprise and fright before she floated off and disappeared.

"Lillie, Lillie? Where'd you go? Sorry, my daughter's extremely shy. But, I'm sure she'll show up soon enough," Mohn called to his "daughter" while he turned to the group with a sheepish smile before he walked off to make a new pot of tea for his guests, passing a baffled and saddened Shiny Magearna and Snowy. "I imagine your tea's getting cold by now. I'll go and make a fresh pot for all of you."

"...Okay, that was awkward."

"Ditto," Curly and Blitz commented.

"Why did you and Sarah's Magearna stop us?" Gladion demanded his mother.

"That Ultra Beast obviously did something to her father and it was right in front of us before you held us back!" Bones grumbled in agreement as he glared at the original Artificial Pokemon.

"Mr. Bones, we don't know if that Nihilego posed any form of a threat. She was just peacefully minding her own business while playing that piano, she couldn't mean any harm and would've hurt us had she struck first but she didn't," Sarah's Magearna retorted, sounding disappointed.

Lusamine nodded as she then told Gladion, "That Nihilego, Mohn thinks that it was her daughter. What do you think he'll do if you and Bones suddenly attacked it out of hostility?"

Gladion grunted in slight shame as he could only agree and even Bones couldn't help wondering how things with Mohn could've turned out if he and Gladion attacked the frightened Nihilego before Lusamine turned to the piano and pondered, "There must be a reason for all of this and why that Nihilego is acting so strangely compared to the last one we've encountered. We've got to find out more about it and how it met him first."

"Wait a minute, what was that you lot mentioned about this Nihilego we saw just now?" Doug questioned, causing everyone in the know to realize that Sarah's real family didn't know about Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine's prior history with the Ultra Beasts.

"It's...a long story, Dad. I think we better tell you and Sis the whole thing," Sarah sighed as Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie nodded in agreement, ready to help her tell Tsukumaro, Asha, and the rest of the royal family everything regarding their first encounters with Nihilego as they began their tale (Bones turning to his human family in surprise given that he is also not in the know regarding what had happened to them ever since he and Mohn vanished).

None of them left anything out; from Lillie nearly taken to Ultra Space by Nihilego until Gladion's Silvally rescued her which resulted in her closing her mind to touching and interacting with Pokemon for a brief period of her life, Nebby's arrival and the events that escalated the subject of the Ultra Beasts including the revelation of Sarah and Gladion's Silvally and Tou-Tou as Beast Killer Pokemon, Lusamine fusing with the Ultra Beast and her being rescued, the birth of the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue, everything involved in how Sarah, Lillie, Gladion, Lusamine, and all their friends first came to know about the Ultra Beasts from their first encounters with Nihilego they recounted as best they could.

By the time they finished, Doug, Delilah, David, Donna (former queen), Tsukumaro, Asha, and Bones were left staggered by the entire story and what had gone down involving the Ultra Beasts. Bones, in particular, was ashamed of himself for having disappeared from his human family instead of staying with them in his master's memory before the revelation of his survival and return to their world.

"Oh, that's terrible..."

"Honey, we're so sorry..."

"Sweetheart..."

"Baby, Lillie..."

"Princess, Ms. Lusamine, Sir Gladion, Ms. Lillie..." David, Donna (former queen), Doug, Delilah, and Tsukumaro breathed.

"Sis, are you serious?" added Asha, aghast as Sarah just nodded along with Lillie and Gladion.

"Oh... Children, I-! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Bones wept as he hugged his master's children remorsefully.

"Damn, you guys were cutting it close with those Ultra Beasts. You felt like you're part of an episode of Close Encounters," Race remarked in agreement.

"It wasn't pretty but given what we had to go through because of Lothor and Team Eclipse once they found out, it was for the best," Sarah replied.

"Yes, but now, we must figure out why Mr. Mohn is with that Nihilego," Sarah's Magearna nodded.

Gladion agreed, "Let's search for some clues."

Lillie and everyone else agreed and even Bones concurred once he had finished shedding his tears while Lusamine decided to have a chat with Mohn to keep him distracted from their search and to help him remember everything before he came to the Crown Tundra, "I'll have a talk with Mohn. If any of you find Nihilego, let me know immediately. And, above all else, take care of yourselves."

"We will/Right/Yes/Got it/Okay," her children, Sarah, Race, and Asha replied while the royal family nodded in agreement.

And, so, the search began for the answers to Nihilego's involvement with Mohn; as Lusamine went to find Mohn and have a chat with him, the others split up around the house to search for any leads to how she had gotten him to the Crown Tundra from Ultra Space and why he ended up seeing her as his daughter instead of Lillie and had no memory of his family. Lillie and Sarah along with their Magearna, Snowy, Silvally, Blitz, and Curly opted to look inside the bedroom with the piano for starters where they came across a small bouquet of flowers hanging by a string along a coat rack.

The Ice Type student went to the piano and decided to play the same song she heard and saw Nihilego playing to try and find the answers they were looking for, unaware that the Shiny Ultra Beast in question reappeared and looked at her curiously.

Then, flashbacks occurred in her mind as she recognized Mohn and his daughter in his arms while she was only a baby after looking through his memories while finding him alone in Ultra Space after he accidentally crossed over, battered and bruised from his arrival.

"Lillie..." he grunted tiredly, cooing quietly in surprise and realization as she looked at the girl Mohn called "Lillie" and saw that one of the young girls she saw was his own daughter, watching from the shadows as Lillie examined the windows and opened them to let the sunshine in.

As she did, she and Sarah looked at where the sun shone down which was a hidden clothes dresser.

With Gladion, Asha, and Race, as the rest of the royal family went to look around the rest of the house, the trio, Bella, Robbie, Proud, and Ziracon kept their eyes open for any more clues as to how Mohn and Nihilego crossed paths and how the latter developed his amnesia. Ahead of them, they came across some boxes at the end of a hallway where a facial desk mirror stood but they soon realized something off about it as the glass inside the mirror was missing.

"That's weird, the mirror glass is missing," Asha pondered as the three humans then looked inside the bathroom next to them and saw a clean spot where another mirror above a working sink should've been.

"The mirror's missing from this spot, too," Gladion added as he felt the spot and found no trace of the missing mirror on it so they deduced that it was not invisible since Nihilego wasn't capable of performing a feat such as Invisibility.

Back in the bedroom, Sarah opened the drawers as they and their Pokemon held their breath for whatever they'll find, finding nothing in the first two drawers while Nihilego continued to watch them closely. Finally, the little princess opened the third drawer on the bottom and she and Lillie gasped to find what looked like a battered and dirtied Aether Foundation business uniform neatly folded along with one of the missing mirrors Gladion, Asha, and Race were looking for.

Lillie took the business shirt and saw the familiar crest of the Aether Foundation, gasping in awe and realization. However, this threatened Nihilego as she didn't take too kindly to the girls' findings, her apprehension bolstered when Sarah took up the mirror and looked at it, realizing that it was off its original spot and prompting the normally-docile Shiny Ultra Beast to attack those she now deemed as a threat.

"Hey, Lillie, check this out," she told her best friend, handing Lillie the mirror.

"A mirror? Did Nihilego hide it in here?" Lillie mused until she moved it and saw Nihilego's reflection.

"LILLIE!"

"LOOK OUT!" Blitz and Curly screamed as Lillie and Sarah braced themselves, the Pikachu Couple springboarding off of Silvally to use Iron Tail and Tackle and get her to stop her attack before she could do them any harm.

"Blitz, Curly, thank you!" Lillie smiled in relief as Gladion, Asha, and Race entered the room and joined their sisters and girlfriend after hearing Blitz and Curly scream.

"Hey, Sis!"

"What's wrong?" Asha and Gladion called.

"Guys, I think we finally have a lead. Did you guys happen to notice something like a mirror or two missing around here?" Sarah replied with an inquiry.

"Yeah... We did notice a few mirrors missing including one from a facial mirror stand and another from the bathroom we've checked out. And, we heard your Pikachu mates scream and try to attack something so we assumed you somehow saw Nihilego," Race confirmed.

"Well, I guess she felt threatened when she discovered we found one of the mirrors she hid inside these drawers here but that's not the craziest thing. Look what's inside the bottom drawer."

The little princess and Lillie directed Gladion, Asha, and Race to their findings in the bottom clothes drawer and they were shocked to find one of the missing mirrors inside along with Mohn's old business uniform just as David, Doug, Delilah, Donna (former queen), and Tsukumaro along with Persian, Mischief, and Absol reunited with them to make the same discovery they all did.

In the main dining room, Lusamine was busy talking with Mohn while Nikki and James offered to join her so as to keep her company and comfort her so she wouldn't break down if her attempts to help him remember his past and his family ultimately fail and they and everyone else end up hitting another wall. To help him jog his memories, she brought out the family portrait of them as the family of four they and their children once were before the incident with the Ultra Wormhole.

"My husband," she began, handing Mohn the family portrait.

"Your husband?" he echoed quizzingly as he looked carefully at his family and himself on it, still lost in his amnesia. "I'm sorry but I don't see the resemblance at all."

Lusamine feared the worst as Nikki and James along with Lucario, Dragonite, Flitter, and Flutter comforted her as best they could while she tried to make sense of the horrible realization of his amnesia before them, "Really...? Does he truly remember nothing of us? Mohn..."

However, a spark would make its mark in her as Mohn smiled and told her, "But, even so, it looks like a happy family. I do hope that you'll be able to find your husband."

Lusamine, however, braced herself for what she was about to say next concerning Nihilego while Nikki, James, their partners, and their Fwoopers (who chirped worriedly for their human masters' friend while they rested on their right shoulders) as she then spoke up, "Mohn, the one you say...is your daughter... The one you think is Lillie..."

However, as she was lost in her thoughts and her lament over Mohn possibly not remembering anything through his amnesia, Lusamine had no idea that Nihilego reappeared before her and was about to attack her this time to stop her from speaking the truth. But, her primed assault was halted when she was noticed by Nikki, James, their Partner Pokemon, and Flitter and Flutter as the two Fwoopers were forced to sing their species' grating song to her face, surprising everybody just as Gladion ran over and saw Nihilego preparing to strike.

"Mother!" he shouted as Nihilego fired two orbs after she was startled by the Fwoopers and he got her to duck in time while James, Nikki, Lucairo, and Dragonite dodged as well, shocking Mohn as he looked at the Ultra Beast posing as his daughter.

"Lillie! What's going on?" he asked as Nihilego remained silent before Bones appeared and tried to restrain her so she wouldn't attack his family again while everybody else regrouped.

"Mom, Dad!" Asha screamed as they appeared.

"Nihilego, Bones, wait!" Sarah pleaded as she and Lillie stepped forward, both of them along with their Pokemon now smiling gratefully at Nihilego and getting Mohn's Zoroark to relax as they looked at them. "We get it now, we finally understand why you did what you did. It's okay, you don't have to be afraid anymore."

"You...do?" Nihilego squeaked, a little afraid from being jumped on earlier by Bones as she looked at the girls.

Lillie nodded as she gave Nihilego a warm smile and told her, "I'm grateful; my father was in trouble after he crossed over into Ultra Space by accident and you saved him when he was at his weakest, didn't you?"

Sarah looked at Bones and nodded for him to let go of Nihilego, allowing her to float freely and face them while Mohn, Lusamine, James, Nikki, Lucario, Dragonite, Flitter, and Flutter looked on in surprise and confusion as to what was going on.

"W-Wha-What are you, you mean-?" Lusamine questioned in realization as everyone realized that when Mohn was weakened from the Ultra Wormhole incident, unbeknownst to them, Nihilego came to his rescue and brought him to the Crown Tundra to rest up after he developed amnesia and mistook her for Lillie.

Mohn in particular was baffled as he then began to see Nihilego and Lillie together, rubbing his eyes as he started to realize that everything he was seeing right now is not what it seems. This was to be confirmed moments later when the rest of the royal family and Tsukumaro arrived with the mirror and Mohn's Aether Foundation uniform after they cleaned them up as best they could.

"Ms. Lillie."

"They're all ready for your father, dear," called Doug and Delilah as they, their parents, the old advisor, Absol, Persian, and Mischief brought them over, the queen handing her Mohn's clothes over to the Ice Type student so she can show them to him.

"I found them and the mirror in the room with the piano," she said to Mohn, handing him his old clothes and the mirror as they all sat down.

Mohn was even more surprised as he looked over his business uniform and the Aether Foundation crest on his old shirt collar as he breathed, "What is this?"

"It's just a guess but when you had that accident years ago, I think the Ultra Wormhole you went through must've warped you to a totally different dimension through what we all know now as Ultra Space," Gladion theorized to his father.

"Accident, what are you talking about?" Mohn inquired, still unsure.

Lusamine knew that it was time to tell her husband the truth, knowing that there was no going back for everyone involved as she said to him, "You see, you were leading our organization's research into the Ultra Wormholes when you had the accident at that time which sent you through one of them and into Ultra Space without warning."

"Ultra...Wormholes?" Mohn breathed, suddenly starting to remember the Ultra Wormhole he accidentally passed through.

Gladion nodded as he continued, "I'm not sure how but after you came into Ultra Space, you somehow came into contact with that Shiny female Nihilego and you came back to our dimension with her after she saved you; not back to Alola where you came from but here in the abode that was once home to the King of Bountiful Harvests-Sarah's Calyrex and his sons/loyal steeds, Spectrier and Glastrier-the Crown Tundra on Galar."

"And, then, you both started living together in this old house, right? As father and daughter," Lillie inquired.

Nihilego was silent as she recalled everything that went on with her and Mohn; on the day when Mohn accidentally crossed over into Ultra Space, he made his way to her home in a gravely-weakened state, startling her as she kept her sights on the man and managed to catch him before he could die from falling. As he came into contact with her, she suddenly experienced memories of his time with his family before he was sucked into the Ultra Wormhole and became entranced by the beautiful and happy life he once had with his wife and children.

"Uuugh, ahh... Lillie," Mohn grunted weakly.

Nihilego felt sorry for Mohn and wanted to not only help him get better but also to somehow return him to his family in their dimension even if it meant for him to lose his memories and develop amnesia in the process. Deciding to take a chance, she looked around for an Ultra Wormhole, and to her luck, the Ultra Wormhole that opened was super close to her by her right. So, she quickly picked Gladion and Lillie's father up and dragged him as best she could to the Ultra Wormhole and crossed over back into Mohn's home dimension, consequently causing them to arrive in the Crown Tundra during a whiteout.

Nihilego flew as best she could amidst the blizzard to find some shelter for him until they came into the abandoned house they took refuge in years later and kept vigilance over him while they waited for the whiteout to subside. However, something within the Shiny Ultra Beast changed and stirred within her the more time she spent with Mohn. She enjoyed having him for company, as admittingly, she didn't have very many or any friends at all back in her world given her small size and strange appearance since she didn't know she was a Shiny version of her regular Nihilego counterparts (which made her stick out like a sore thumb based on her looks alone).

"Oh, my Lillie," groaned Mohn again.

So, deciding to make a life of her own with him while impersonating Lillie, she nursed him back to health and had him see her as his daughter so he wouldn't have to leave her.

"Oh... Lillie, it's you," Mohn breathed when he came to and noticed Nihilego as they held one another.

Then, she was brought back into reality as Gladion told Mohn, "I can't say why Nihilego had to take on Lillie's form but I can assume that her life here with you is very happy. I think she was deeply afraid you'd see your own image and then your memory would come back to you, that she, removed every single mirror and blocked out all of the windows."

"If your memory came back when you least expect it, then Nihilego would be all alone and she wouldn't be able to live with you anymore," Lillie went on as she stroked Snowy's back as she rested on her lap before she gave an understanding and thankful look towards the Shiny Ultra Beast for what she did out of genuine daughterly love towards Mohn.

"The way the clothes mirror was put in the bottom drawer of the clothes rack so carefully along with Father's old uniform since you knew what would happen if he were to overcome his amnesia, Nihilego, I can see just how precious Father is to you the moment you crossed paths with each other in Ultra Space. I can sense it, you couldn't just throw them away. You loved him too much to leave him behind and for him to do the same to you and you were only being selfish because you didn't want to say goodbye to him should he remember everything."

"Father," Gladion called, putting the mirror in front of Mohn and showing him his face to help him remember his children and wife along with Bones and Lillie's Magearna at last.

When he finally saw his reflection, Mohn gasped as he finally overcame his amnesia and remembered everything that happened to him; his being sucked through the Ultra Wormhole to Ultra Space, being saved by Nihilego when he was badly hurt, meeting the Shiny Ultra Beast that loved him as a father for the first time, the happy times they shared while she did her best to impersonate his daughter as they lived in the Crown Tundra together as a family of two, giving her a special floral bouquet comprised of Lilium flowers supposedly as a birthday present, and the happiness they shared as she played his favorite song for him on the piano where in place of Lillie was Nihilego herself.

Then, he recalled all of the fun times he and his original family shared as well as the moment he and Bones battled Hala and earned his Z-Ring and his then coming across the two Magearna belonging to Lillie and Sarah during his travels.

And, after witnessing the final memory he saw clear as day of his and Lusamine fawning over Lillie when she was a baby, he gained a determined and loving look on his face as he confirmed, "Yes, I remember it now... All of it."

Gladion, Lusamine, and Lillie gasped in surprise as they heard this, seeing Mohn get up and smile warmly at his family as he addressed them one by one while Sarah and her own family with them watched on in awe and amazement as they were relieved and greatly happy to see them all truly back together again.

"Gladion..."

"Father...!"

"Lillie..."

"Ah! Oh, Father!"

His warmest greeting was for Lusamine as he faced her and smiled at his wife, "Lusamine..."

The Aether Foundation administrator felt like crying as she was immensely relieved and overwhelmed with joy as she realized that thanks to her, her family, and Sarah and her family's efforts, the day when they find and reunite with Mohn came and he was able to overcome his amnesia with their help, returning to their side safe and sound. And, it was all thanks to the Shiny Nihilego with a heart of gold that was able to make it possible despite her own daughterly love for him.

"Oh, Mohn..." she whimpered, finally letting her pain out and happily crying as she and her husband shared their first embrace in years. "Welcome back, Mohn...!"

"Welcome back, Father!" Lillie and Gladion cheered as the two of them joined in the family embrace.

"I am back," Mohn smiled warmly with Shiny Magearna joining in the hug as she beeped with joy.

"Oh, Master!"

"Daddy!" Bones and Snowy chirped with overwhelming joy as they and Shiny Magearna also cried for the safe and happy return of their human master and partner's father.

Sarah and her family couldn't help but shed tears of their own with Silvally trying to hide his and the little princess nodding to her guardian to let Mohn know she was operational as she happily stepped forward, "Mr. Mohn, thank goodness you're back!"

Her Shiny counterpart also beeped her happiness over their founder's return, getting his attention as he smiled brightly at the pair, "You got both Magearna to work again? That's amazing!"

"Lillie was able to do it with our Magearna and our friend, Sarah, was able to awaken her guardian last year. Turns out that the second Magearna you've been saving for her was actually her guardian and her 5th birthday present by her mother and father, King Doug and Queen Delilah," Gladion smiled, showing his father Sarah and her family with her.

Mohn was amazed as he gave a warm smile and bowed to Doug and Delilah, "Your Majesties."

The king and queen in question gasped in surprise as they quickly approached Mohn and urged him to stand up, "Mr. Mohn, get up/No, no, it's alright, get up!"

"Mr. Mohn, my wife and I want to thank you. I thought we'd never see our beloved birthday present for our daughter ever again after we lost her and our family in the Ultra Beast War all those years ago but there was hope for her thanks to you."

"You brought our Magearna home and she has been meticulously restored to her true glory and left her in your study for our daughter to find years later. How can we ever repay you for your kindness?"

Mohn just smiled as he told them, "You don't have to thank me, I'm just glad my family and I were able to safeguard a piece of you and your legacy before it was lost forever even if I didn't know it at the time."

He then turned to Sarah as he gave her a proud and warm smile and said to her, "And you, Princess Sarah, you've been watching over my family and my daughter, correct? Thank you, I owe you my life..."

Sarah quickly rushed over and got him to stand up as he bowed gratefully to her, "No, no, no, no, it's alright, Mohn... I'm just glad she was able to do okay and my friends and I had a lot of fun with her. She was a great friend to us, especially me, I don't know where my family and I would be today if it weren't for her and her kindness."

Mohn could only be more elated and proud of her daughter as he turned to her and said, "You mean my little princess helped you out and awakened our Magearna?"

Lillie blushed as she humbly told him, "All because of the research stones and the notes you've left behind."

As the reunion was taking place, while Nihilego was happy for Mohn and his family, she felt sad as she knew this is the moment she feared; Mohn would have to leave her to return with his true family to Alola while she will be left alone in the Crown Tundra. Feeling like she wasn't needed anymore, she turned away and started to take her leave until she was stopped by Lillie as she took one of her tentacles before she could disappear.

"You... Why?" she breathed, not understanding why Lillie would want her to stay after she attacked her just so she wouldn't have Mohn leave her.

"Lillie, please, don't go," Lillie said to the female Shiny Ultra Beast.

"You, mean it?" she cooed in surprise as Mohn joined them while the window in front of them began to lose the dirt on it, symbolizing a brighter future for her and Mohn and her soon-to-be family.

"I'd like it if you stayed here, in our world and dimension. Please don't go. If it weren't what you did for me when you found me in Ultra Space, I wouldn't have been able to reunite with my family. It's up to you, of course. But, I'd like it if you'd live here with us from now in," smiled Mohn, deeply in Nihilego's debt for her saving him and bringing him to the Crown Tundra, keeping him alive for years thanks to the memories of Lillie they shared together.

"Mohn, that's a wonderful idea!"

"I think so, too," Lusamine and Gladion agreed warmly, Sarah and her family nodding knowingly and feeling like they all owe Nihilego so much for what she did for Mohn and his family.

The little Ultra Beast didn't know what to think but Lillie just smiled, confident in her and her family's decision to accept her as their own, "Now, there are two Lillies, right?"

Taking on her Lillie persona as her human counterpart smiled at her and realizing that by saving Mohn and being his daughter through her, Nihilego realized that she did become Lillie herself and was essentially, her twin sister, despite them being from two different worlds. Grateful to her family for accepting her as their second daughter, the Shiny Ultra Beast agreed to join them and return to their true home of Alola, ending a chapter of pain and suffering for her human family and beginning their life together anew.

With everyone in agreement and their decisions unanimous, Gladion brought out an Ultra Ball he had with him as his mother, father, and human sister each put one of their hands on it and Nihilego hovering to it as Mohn assured his new daughter-in-law, "Now, we're home, all of us."

For Nihilego, this was more than enough as she opened the Beast Ball and allowed herself to be captured by her new family before she was brought back out for a new family photo with the reunited family courtesy of Rotoscope (with Gladion's Silvally, Lycanroc, and Umbreon being brought out to join in the photo). Now, Sarah and Lillie each have Ultra Beasts of their own and after so many years, the Ice Type student's family is back together with the addition of a brand new sister and daughter with a heart of gold.

"Say 'Ultra Beast', cool dudes!" Rotoscope buzzed excitedly to Lillie and her family as he snapped the photo.

"Ultra Beast/Ultra Beast!"

And, with that, Mohn, Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie came together one again as a family, moving forward to a brighter future with a brand new sister in the wings as the journey continues!

Epilogue

The news of Mohn's return to the Alola Region spread like wildfire after everybody reunited with and introduced him to the rest of Sarah's family including Discord after they boarded his submarine and made the round trip out of the Crown Tundra back home. Of course, everybody who knew him was shocked to see him back.

Frankly, all of Alola was amazed and delighted to see that he had returned safe and sound following the accident he had years ago and even Wicke and Faba were flabbergasted and ecstatic over his coming home. Even Ulu and Abe couldn't help but mark the glorious occasion as they, Mallow, Tsareena, and Shaymin with help from Houndoom, Latios, Latias, Mulan, Braviary, and Salamence managed to cook up a giant and scrumptous feast for everybody to enjoy.

Hala was just as ecstatic to see his old challenger and friend again as he addressed everyone from all over Alola, humans and Pokemon alike with the addition Equestria's citizens living there, the Viking Teens and their dragons and Pokemon along with Stoick, Gobber, and their own Partner Pokemon, and Marena (once they've gotten word from Celestia), the Six Spirits and the Eight Queens, and the other dragons living in the region as well about Mohn's return as he stood in front of the crowd with him and his family.

"Everyone, friends and family of all ages, shapes, and sizes! I've glad you all can come, today marks a truly stupendous day for all of us for it is the day when our old friend, Mohn, has returned to Alola!"

Everybody gathered applauded and cheered for Mohn and his family, all of them delighted to have him safely home with them with the new citizens that joined the region in recent times greeting him warmly.

"Mohn, welcome!" Burnet and Kukui greeted happily.

"Lillie, Sarah, you guys did it!"

"Congratulations!"

"Great job, you guys."

"Awesome!" Mallow, Sophocles and Lana, Kiawe, and Ash cheered, their Pokemon also giving the two best friends, the princess' family, and Snowy congratulatory cheers for their successful search for Mohn.

Hobbes was the most ecstatic of all the party guests as he tearfully welcomed Mohn back to Alola while holding a hankie in his mouth to wipe away his tears, "Oh, I'm so happy for you all! Master, Lusamine...!"

"Oh, Hobbies," soothed Mohn, smiling at the family butler.

"You look wonderful, it's like nothing's changed since you disappeared on us!"

"We've waited such a long time for you to come home, and now... NOW, YOU'RE FINALLY HOME!" Faba and Wicke sobbed with everlasting joy, just as relieved and happy to see Mohn come home again.

"Faba, Wicke, I'm sorry. I know you two and everybody else at the Aether Foundation must be so worried..."

"My dear professor...!" Faba continued to sob as he then tried to hug him before Rotom-Dex came up in front of him and he ended up smacking his face behind his back while the Living Pokedex spoke to him.

"It's really you! It is you, right, Mohn? I'm Rotom in Pokedex Form, it's very nice to meet you!" he greeted as Faba frantically tried to get Mohn to see him again from behind him.

"Nice to meet you too, Rotom!" Mohn greeted with a chuckle.

"And, so, in honor of our beloved Mohn, let's get this party started!" Hala declared, getting more cheers and applause from everybody as the party for Mohn's return officially began.

Helping themselves to the food that had been made by Mallow and her family along with Tsareena, her Shaymin, Salamence, Latios, Houndoom, Latias, Mulan, and Braviary, coupled with enjoying the music and games brought in for the entertainment, everybody was soon having the time of their lives with nearly everybody mingling and dancing together like there's no tomorrow, wanting to cherish every moment they have of Mohn's return.

Mohn (having shaved his beard off and sported a new set of clothing on the way back from Galar) and Lusamine were happily mingling with Principal Oak, Kukui, and Burnet as they wanted to hear everything that led to the former's return to Alola and the reunion with his family as well as the addition of Nihilego to his family.

Even the other heroes' Pokemon joined in as they and the dragons helped themselves to the dishes made for them while meeting the Snowtails, Lillie's Magearna, and to their shock, her new Nihilego sister.

"Eat as much as you like!"

"There's plenty for everyone!"

"All on the house, dearies!" Mallow, her Shaymin, and Tsareena smiled at the party guests and their friends as they helped their family serve.

When the three of them rejoined the others after they finished helping Ulu and Abe, they were all most surprised and shocked when Lillie introduced her new sister-in-law to them and their Pokemon, all of them shying nervously away given their previous experience with the original Ultra Pillar. But, when they learned that she was responsible for saving Mohn in his darkest hour, thus keeping him alive at the Crown Tundra while seeing him as her own father, they eventually grew to like her and accept her as one of the family, too.

"It's okay, Lillie. All of my other friends are just like my best friend, Sarah. They're all nice and their Pokemon are wonderful friends, too," Lillie smiled at Nihilego who shared her former timid nature.

"Nice?" Nihilego Lillie puzzled her human sister.

"That's so cool, Lillie the Ultra Beast!" Lana grinned in amazement.

"I never thought this would ever happen, let alone find out an Ultra Beast saved your father!"

"Congratulations, Lillie, you must be proud!" Sophocles and Mallow smiled for their friend as Nihilego floated alongside her human sister, managing to settle down and relax and enjoy the company of her new friends.

"I gotta say, Lillie, you did okay at the Crown Tundra. Now, like Sarah with Nebby and Nebula, you have an Ultra Beast in your family, too," Kiawe replied, giving an impressed smile at his friend and fellow student, getting a humble giggle out of her.

Lilac's cousins (now aptly named Viola, Nivia, and Xuē) were happy to meet new friends and they were hitting it off with everybody including the stunned Viking Teens, Gobber, and Stoick. As they moved away from the Crown Tundra, Sarah gave them Never-Melting Ice and enchanted them so as to make them feel like they were still living in their old home.

Of course, the revelation that the Snowtails themselves were Stoker Class dragons that can breathe ice and their being Lilac's cousins threw the Viking Teens, Stoick, and Gobber for a loop as they didn't think it was possible for a Terrible Terror like Lilac have any family left and that Stoker Class dragons, in their minds, normally breathe fire instead of any other element.

Then, there was the breaking of the subject regarding Link and Zelda as they had never come face to face with any Paradox Pokemon before let alone the two of them from Paldea along with Duke since the Viking Teens didn't know about Poipole staying at her old home and leaving her Alola family and friends behind to continue her royal duties at Poipole Fantasy and the male Poipole joining them in her place.

"Well, guess we can add these little guys to our ever-growing and ever-updating Book of Dragons," smiled Fishlegs as they all watched the Snowtails play with Toothless and the other dragons belonging to him and his friends.

"Amazing, Princess, so were those little darlings really living in the Crown Tundra the whole time under Calyrex, Spectrier, and Glastrier's noses along with Lillie's father?" Snowfall asked in amazement.

"Yeah, according to them, they've been there for a while and in secrecy. They might've unknowingly come from the Hidden World somehow and settled down there, deciding it'd be perfect for them. But, it does make me wonder if there are any other dragons that unknowingly crossed over from there and living in secrecy here or anywhere else in our world," Sarah confirmed.

"You'll find out, you never know how many dragons from there took to anywhere here including Alola and Galar as their new home," Astrid smiled knowingly.

"Well, at least Lilac can rest easy knowing she has a family now."

"And, they'll help Trooper with his search and rescue missions in snowy weather, too," Hiccup and Zenna grinned, seeing how happy Lilac is with her cousins as they all played together.

This perked the Snowtails' interest as they looked over to their human caretaker and Ruby smiled, giving her blessings as she said, "I don't see why not."

"YAY/YEAH!" Lilac and her cousins cheered happily.

Duke then floated over to the Vikings as he gave them a friendly, "Hello, friend!"

"Dude, no way! You got yourself a male Poipole!"

"Sweet!" the twins cheered as they butted their heads and helmets together excitedly.

"But, what's with the robotic menace resembling Virizion?"

"And, that giant dinosaur looking like your Suicune?" Hiccup and Zenna questioned their friend when they saw Link and Zelda coming up to them.

"Guys, meet Duke, he was given to me by Poipole, her mother, and the Ultra Recon Squad since he liked me and he wanted to be strong like them. Once I teach him how to use Dragon Pulse again, he'll be able to evolve into a Naganadel like his world's queen. As for Link and Zelda, they're both called Paradox Pokemon from Paldea and while Zelda's species is known as Iron Leaves, Link is the distant ancestor of Suicune called a Walking Wake. Right now, I'm studying them both as part of an ongoing research project, especially since nobody knows much about them."

"You always seem to look for the most unexpected of surprises at every turn, Princess," chuckled Sequoia.

"Hey, I don't go looking for surprises or Pokemon of all sorts let alone trouble. Trouble, unusual Pokemon, or surprises of all sizes usually find me," the little princess rebutted incredulously, getting a laugh out of everyone with her despite knowing fully well that one day, she will find the answer and not knowing that with her record, it will come much sooner than expected.
