SM044: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} find themselves in mountains surrounded by fog. They watch as in the sky, two lights appear as {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} emerge. The two Pokémon look down at Ash who understands and makes a promise. They disappear before emitting a beam of light where [[Nebby]] is formed. The [[Guardian deities]] sense Nebby's arrival as [[Gladion]] tries to calm his {{DL|Gladion|Silvally|Type: Null}} down. Gladion soon realizes that an [[Ultra Beast]] has appeared. At [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, {{Rotom}} is trying to wake Ash and Pikachu up but they're still sleeping. With help from {{AP|Litten}}, Ash and Pikachu eventually get up. Ash starts to remember the dream he had where he had made a promise to Solgaleo and Lunala.

During breakfast, they watch as the "Alola Woman of the Year" award is given to [[Professor Burnet]]. Professor Kukui explains that her research is best known on [[Ultra Wormhole]]s. At the [[Altar of the Sunne]], Professor Burnet, [[Lusamine]], [[Wicke]] and [[Faba]] are examining the ruins where Professor Burnet had discovered a spike energy readings from an Ultra Beast. Faba suspects this might have been an equipment malfunction which is put down to jealousy. They head off to do more research. Ash, Pikachu and Rotom are on their way to the [[Pokémon School]] when they come across {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}} who leads them to Nebby, sleeping in the forest. Ash recognizes Nebby from his dream and remembers his promise. Rotom has no data on Nebby.

Inside, Lusamine greets Lillie and embarrasses her by treating her like a baby. Lillie isn't pleased to she her and is annoyed at her evolving Clefairy into Clefable. Professor Kukui introduces Ash to Professor Burnet, Faba and Wicke greet them as Lusamine asks to be introduced to Nebby. Professor Burnet brings up images of the Guardian deities and Ultra Beasts and explains the legend surrounding them. They believe Nebby to be an Ultra Beast. They detected a spike in the aura's power and brings up an image of the Altar of the Sunne which Ash recognizes from his dream and explains what happened. Faba doesn't believe this as Lusamine asks Ash to let them look after Nebby, but remembering his promise, Ash wants to look after Nebby himself. Faba tries to prevent Ash from doing it but Lillie and Professor Kukui explain Ash's past with Tapu Koko and Lusamine agrees to let him look after Nebby.
