The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

Upon hearing this, Ash chuckled wryly. This really was the most powerful one. After all, it was the legendary Elite Pokémon, and its base stats of six or seven hundred were no joke.

"I was worried about leaving my brother alone, so I came along too."

Please let us assist you. I'm really worried about leaving Ash to handle this crisis alone.

As Lillie spoke, she looked at Ash, her eyes filled with worry.

Seeing this, Ash had no choice but to agree. At least Lillie had learned to use Z-Moves, so she should still have some ability to protect herself.

“Okay, Professor Barnett, Beeko, tell them what’s going on,” Ash said.

"That's right, according to our investigation, the Ultra Vibe values ​​are decreasing throughout the Alola region."

"This is because it seems that a small Ultimate Hole has opened near the Sun Wheel Altar on Bonney Island," Dr. Barnett said.

“So, the ultimate aura is being sucked away by the ultimate hole,” Biko said.

"Sucked away?" Gladio asked in confusion.

“I think it might be because there’s an Ultra Beast with this kind of property living inside that Ultra Hole,” Dr. Barnett said.

"Dr. Barnett and Gladio were both right; this situation is indeed due to the appearance of an Ultra Beast."

Moreover, this Ultra Beast is the strongest of all Ultra Beasts.

According to information from the UB countermeasures headquarters, the codename for this Ultra Beast is UB: Jet Black. Ash said with a wry smile.

"UB: Pitch Black?"

"So, this Ultra Beast might appear at the Sun Wheel Altar, is that right?" Gladion asked.

"If the Ultimate Hole continues to expand, then it's possible..."

"That's why we're planning to pinpoint the exact location of the Ultimate Cavern near the Sun Wheel Altar," Dr. Barnett said.

"Gladio, Lillie, I allow you to come with us, but please be careful," Ash instructed.

"No problem." x2

"That's settled then. Let's move out immediately. I'll take Lillie and Gladio to the scene."

Dr. Barnett also went along to confirm the location of the Ultimate Cave.

Biko, you'll stay here at headquarters and be responsible for providing remote assistance and logistical support.

"Yes."x4

The entire Pokémon Inspection Bureau immediately sprang into action, with all personnel mobilized. Ash also contacted Officer Jenny on Poni Island, asking her to send officers to seal off the Sun Wheel Altar and temporarily prevent anyone from entering.

Stepping onto the tarmac, Ash looked up. The gloomy sky above him hadn't cleared up; instead, it was getting even darker, as if a storm was brewing.

A dozen minutes later, accompanied by the whooshing sound of propellers, more than a dozen helicopters landed on the Sun Wheel Altar.

Officer Jenny, who had arrived early to cordon off the area, and members of the Pokémon Inspection Bureau immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"These clouds in the sky are really thick; they're seriously interfering with the detection of the Ultimate Void."

"But if we use a Z-Move, perhaps we can dispel these dark clouds in the sky." Dr. Barnett looked at the cloud-covered sky and said with some distress.

"No, I wanted to practice Z-Moves during my special training with Lycanroc and the others today."

"But for some reason, I just can't muster enough Z-Power to unleash Z-Moves, and I keep failing," Gladion immediately denied.

"I see. Our recent research suggests that there seems to be an inseparable relationship between the Z Power and the Ultimate Aura."

"It's probably because of the drop in Ultimate Aura values ​​these past two days that you haven't been able to gather enough Z-Power," Dr. Barnett said.

"Why go through all this trouble to dispel the clouds in the sky, Pikachu, unleash Thunderbolt!"

"Pika~chu!"

An unstoppable golden current shot into the sky, bursting into the clouds and instantly dispelling all the dark clouds.

"Thank you so much, Ash. I'll go investigate the location of the Ultra Cave now."

After Professor Barnet left, Ash, Gladion, and Lillie investigated the Sun Wheel Altar, but unfortunately, they didn't find anything.

The main thing in the ruins that Biko and her group recently discovered was that mural; there was nothing else there.

Just as everyone returned to the altar empty-handed, Naganadel suddenly sprang out of Ash's Ultra Ball.

Furthermore, it used the paint emitted from the large needle at its tail to draw a giant symbol of ultimate burst on the ground.

Everyone was very surprised, wondering how the four-jawed needle dragon knew about this pattern.

Ash wasn't surprised, since Naganadel and Poipole were from a world where Necrozma had taken away their light, so they were very familiar with Necrozma.

"Is this Pokémon also an Ultra Beast?" Gladion asked.

“That’s right, it’s called Jaw-14 Needle Dragon, and it’s also a type of Ultra Beast,” Ash said.

At the same time, Ash noticed that Naganadel was looking up at a spot in the sky near the moon, and he wondered what it meant.

Just then, Dr. Barnett came running over, panting and anxious, and said...

"Ash, and everyone else, we've now located the Ultra Tunnel, but it's getting bigger and bigger."

"Where is the location?"

"In this direction!"

After saying that, Dr. Barnett pointed to the moon in the sky, the same direction that the Four-Jawed Needle Dragon was looking.

Ash quickly squinted and stared at the moon in the sky. He could indeed see a small dot at the center of the moon.

However, the small dot was growing larger and larger at a visible speed, eventually expanding into an ultimate hole that shimmered with a strange light.

Through the power of aura, Ash could clearly sense several incredibly powerful forces within, which were growing stronger and stronger, indicating that they were getting closer and closer to the location.

Soon, a figure shaped like a crescent moon rushed out of the ultimate cave and appeared before everyone. It was none other than Lunayara, the moon goddess whom everyone had seen before.

"Ash, does this mean that Lunala is absorbing the Ultra Vision?" Lillie asked.

"No, there's another one following behind."

As soon as Ash finished speaking, two black claws emerged from the Ultra Slit, forcefully tearing it open and making it even larger.

Immediately afterwards, the owner of those black claws, a Pokémon entirely black, roared and charged out of Ultra Cave, right behind Lunala.
