Chapter 9

Jubilife City

With the sun rising on the girls in their room, they have to decide on whether or not this was going to be the day they headed north to Floaroma Town, or detour toward Canalava Town. But other things were on Miracle's mind as she had gotten an urgent message from Zula's mother Carmen in Lavaridge Town in Hoenn.

Miracle had just entered the Pokémon center with her Chimchar, and Kirlia after a long morning jog. She checked in with Nurse Joy about her newly acquired Dwebble, since her daughter had the knack for scaring it half to death while they played hide and seek.

"Is the little guy okay Joy?"

"Of course, he just had a little scare. That little girl of ours needs to learn he is not like the Dwebble she knows from home." Saki said interrupting Joy.

"Yes, maybe a lesson in the different Pokémon temperaments, even letting the pair get to know one another would be good in the long run." Azula added as she walked in on the conversation, "Zuzu is watching our girl, I needed coffee bad."

Miracle nodded and took her Pokémon back and then recalled her jogging partners as well, "I need to make a call and take a shower. I'll see you in the room in a bit."

"Who are you calling at this time in the morning?" Saki asked.

"Carmen left me a message a few days ago, and I messaged back that I would call her as soon as we got to a city with a working public Vid Phone."

"Did she sound like it was urgent?" Azula asked.

"More or less a call me back or I will never leave you alone with the girls or my precious grandbaby again."

"Good, you heard the affliction in my voice perfectly," Carmen said as her face popped up on the vid screen.

"Hey mother," Azula said non-scholantly.

"It's good to see you Zula, did you ever get that jacket I sent you, I saw it and thought of you," Carmen smiled.

"Actually I did, just before we left. I appreciate it, but Zuzu seems to like the heated hood on that thing more."

Carmen smiled a knowing smile, "Good, good. Now to the task at hand. Girls have you ever heard of Ultra Beasts?"

"My father spoke of them in some stories when I was a kid." Mira said.

"I read a paper by a Professor Kukui in the Alola Region. It was a weird turn seeing how he is the fore most expert on Pokémon moves."

"Bring this full circle mother." Azula said.

"Miracle I transferred a Pokémon to your home P.C. It's poke ball is in a stasis lock and can only be opened by you. I want you to retrieve it and find a place to release it with no prying eyes. Discretion is key right now and I'm inclined to believe Miracle's crazy mother is in play again."

Those words got all of them a bit off kilter, "I'll go get Harmony," Zula said, "I'll be back in a few moments and then we can head out."

"Keep me in the loop." Carmen said, "I'll talk to you later." And she hung up.

"What do you think it could be?" Saki asked.

"If it's about me and my powers then I assume it's a bug type… But I'm still a little lost on what it could be."

"From what I have read, Ultra Beasts are still considered a rarity and only a half dozen or so have been registered….. It could only be Buzzwole or a Pheromosa at least with what I've seen."

Miracle nodded and contemplated the situated, "Something tells me I'm not going to like what's going to happen."

Zula came out of their room with their bags and Harmony in tow, "Let's get going."

The trio and their little girl loaded up and hastily left through the north gate of Jubilife City. After a couple of hours and a handful of trainer battles the girls finally found a nice hidden spot where they could get their business started.

"Here we go," Miracle said. She pulled the ball from her belt and tossed it high into the air. It opened and revealed a large svelte figure. It was tall and covered in all types of whites and pearl colors.

"What the hell is this thing?" Azula questioned.

"Pretty!" Harmony cheered.

"If…uh my…..memory serves…." Saki was trying to speak but was having a hard time finding her words," I think it's a Pheromosa."

The Pokémon looked around and its eyes fell upon Miracle, "Mistress, I have hoped to lay eyes upon you for years." The creature then knelt at Mira's feet.

"Okay, get up, get up." Mira said, "I want to know what's going on, and how do you even know who I am?"

"I am a classification of what you call Pokémon. My classification is an Ultra Beast, and my name is indeed Pheromosa. I come from a world that is populated with others of my kind, and we work on a plane that is parallel to yours."

"Meaning?" Azula asked.

"Meaning we are able to watch your world while you are unable to see ours. Only a few rare occasions has a human found their way to our realm. But when it comes to you, we saw your creation, and the power you contain rivals that of ours and even the legendries themselves."

"I completely agree," A voice spoke.

"Damnit! What the hell are you doing here Mew? You damn fur ball."

"I've been tracking the one who broke the barrier. And here she is, funny thing though, I knew she would eventually end up with you."

"Mew, where have you been? I have been in your world for weeks, someone has found another way into our world and now we are being enslaved by them."

"Okay we are a bit off topic," Saki said, "How does Miracle factor into all of this."

"Your mother's organization funded the two projects that got humans into the Distortion World, first with Team Plasma then with the Aether Foundation. It seems she has been using the data to finally breakthrough on her own."

"Okay, she's nuts. But again, what's the reason I'm being thrown onto this like I'm supposed to be the savior of both worlds?" Mira growled.

"Your strength has enamored the Ultra Beasts for some time now," Pheromosa said, "We have studied you and the others and have recently concluded you are not just merely a group of human/Pokémon hybrids."

"Mommy strong!" Harmony cheered.

Miracle grabbed the little girl from Azula and looked the large bug Pokémon in the eye, "Are you saying I'm, I mean we, are Ultra Beasts?"

"It would seem like that is true," Mew said, "And I believe your mother knows this now, and she is coming up with new ways to recapture you, your sister and the others…..And probably wants the little one most of all." Mew said as it nuzzled the little girls' cheek.

"Then what do you think we should do then Mew?" Saki asked.

"You do what you three always do. You keep forging ahead and face whatever comes your way."

"Then what do I do about the eight foot bug Pokémon?" Miracle asked.

"If you could help me and my people then I am forever in my debt, and I will lend you my strength." She said.

"I would love to use you, but your species is not as abundant as it is in your realm. Hell only a few people have documented that your kind even exists."

"And that's why I am here to take her back to my master." A tall figure said as it appeared from the forest.

"I remember that voice," Miracle said, "It's good to see you again Amazona."

"It's been a few years; your mother sends her regards by the way."

"Tell her to go to hell and take the rest of you with her."

"My Destiny will destroy the last of that will of yours, especially now that we have the Ultra Beasts on our side."

"An Ultra Beast can't help you Amazona. You are severely out numbered."

"Not quite. Come on out, Buzzwole, Guzzlord!" The massive Pokémon that appeared scared pretty much everyone. Even Miracle was a bit shaken by the magnitude these guys created.

"I have no clue how to fight these things!" Mira yelled.

"Buzzwole is bug and fighting like me. While Guzzlord is a dark and dragon type," Pheromosa said.

"Good to know, Froslass come on out." Mira released her ghost Pokémon and readied herself.

"Darkrai lets back them up." Azula said as she released her strongest Pokémon.

"You as well Gardevoir." Saki added, as she too released her Pokémon.

"Back off while you can Amazona. Your Pokémon do not stand a chance against a pair of legendries, an Ultra beast of our own, an ice type and a fairy type." Mew Pointed out, "Choose your battle, you know you can't win."

"We will see about that cat, now my beasts lay waste to them all!"
