|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|Courtney
|''There, there. That's a good Pokémon.''
|''Leader Maxie...<br>With Groudon...we could take Team Aqua...in a heartbeat... So why not...attack?''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|Maxie
|''Hmm... I didn't expect there to be so many lost Pokémon...''
|''Hm...<br>I understand that you're unsatisfied with our current lack of activity.<br>However, now is not the time to act.<br>We still haven't been able to calculate the extent of Groudon's power.<br>In order of Team Magma to control it and make it our own, we'll need a bit more time.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|Tabitha
|''Odd, isn't it? And we can't seem to find their Trainers either...''
|''If Groudon goes out of control and destroys the world, we would lose everything.<br>As leader Maxie says, it is important we go about it carefully.''
|-
|-
|???
|Maxie
|''Yo, yo, yo!''
|''Furthermore, our main goal as Team Magma isn't to defeat Team Aqua...<br>Do not make that mistake.''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(Two Team Skull Grunts appear)<center/>
|Courtney
|''OK...''
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (1)
|colspan=2|<center>(Maxie turns to address the grunts; Courtney walks away)<center/>
|''Still bein' good little "Pokémon conservationists"?''
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (2)
|Courtney
|''Why don't you come hang with the outcasts, yo?''
|''Leader Maxie says...to be careful...<br>But Team Aqua... So annoying... If I get rid of them...I bet he'd be proud of me...''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Team Aqua's hideout; Archie, Shelly, and Matt are standing in front of an assembly of grunts)<center/>
|''Ugh! They're interrupting us again!''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(The Team Skull Grunts bother the Aether Foundation employees for a bit before leaving)<center/>
|Matt
|''C'mon, bro!<br>How long do we gotta lie low like this?<br>You got Kyogre on our side, so it would be easy for a guy like you, bro!''
|-
|Shelly
|''Cool your jets. Be patient.<br>We're still analyzing Kyogre's power.<br>So until that's done, I've told Archie that we should operate carefully.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|Archie
|''They're finally gone.<br>We've got plenty on our plate already...''
|''Bwahahaha! Sorry, Matt. She's right.<br>I know you wanna get rowdy, but I need ya to wait a little bit more.<br>And listen, Matt... Destroying Team Magma ain't what we should be doing right now.<br>We should be creating a utopia for Pokémon... That's why we need Kyogre's power!<br>Never forget that.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|Matt
|''We still have to find whoever stole intel on the Ultra Beasts and Ultra Wormholes from the Aether Foundation.''
|''OK, bro... I'll remember that.''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(Transition to the park at night; Faba is talking to someone on the phone)<center/>
|Archie
|''But I mean, if they try to bother us, I've got no qualms beating 'em down!''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|colspan=2|<center>(Archie dismisses the grunts; he and Shelly leave as well)<center/>
|''Hm? Is that...''
|-
|-
|Faba
|Matt
|''Yes, yes. Certainly.<br>I, Faba, promise to be at your service–''
|''Bro's being...careful? That ain't like him at all...<br>Has he changed since he's come to Pasio?''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Team Rocket's hideout; Ariana and Archer approach Giovanni)<center/>
|''Branch Chief Faba?''
|-
|-
|Faba
|Ariana
|''Eek!<br>E-e-excuse me! I just remembered somewhere I need to be, so I must be going immediately!''
|''Sir!<br>The team tasked with surveying Pasio has reported back.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|Archer
|''Who were you talking to?''
|''They detected a massive natural energy reading from the ocean floor in this island's proximity.''
|-
|-
|Faba
|Giovanni
|''Wh-who, you ask? The president, of course!''
|''I see... Excellent work.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|Archer
|''You seem awfully flustered for that. Are you sure?''
|''Thank you, sir!''
|-
|-
|Faba
|Giovanni
|''You're much too nosy!<br>Please don't make me, Branch Chief Faba, waste my precious time!''
|''So there's energy just lying there, in the depths of the ocean...<br>There was a similar story in Hoenn. Have either of you heard about it?''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(Faba leaves)<center/>
|Ariana
|''Hoenn? My apologies, but I don't have much knowledge of that region.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|Giovanni
|''That was suspicious...''
|''According to the legends of Hoenn from over a thousand years ago...<br>A giant meteorite fell in Hoenn, and the natural energy beneath the ground erupted...<br>And they say Groudon and Kyogre fought over that energy.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|Archer
|''Agreed. And considering we have a case of stolen data on our hands...<br>It might be best if we inform President Lusamine of this–just in case.''
|''Those two are the Legendary Pokémon of Hoenn...<br>This is the first time I've heard of those legends.''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(Transition to the beach; Hau, Selene, Elio, and the player are talking)<center/>
|Giovanni
|''I don't know how much natural energy lies in the seabed of Pasio yet...<br>But it does seem making use of it would be of value to us.''
|-
|-
|Hau
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Zinnia and Rayquaza on the beach; a shooting star sparkles in the sky)<center/>
|''Whoa, it's getting busy!<br>I love the atmosphere right before a festival starts!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Zinnia
|'''What's the festival for?''': ''It's an Alola-style event hosted by the Aether Foundation.''
|''A shooting star...<br>I wonder what kind of wishes it's carrying as it flies off like that...''

|'''What's happening?''': ''The Aether Foundation is putting on an Alola-style festival!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Brendan
|''It's not just about teaching folks about Alola's culture–they also want to spread the word about Pokémon conservation.''
|''Right there!''
|-
|-
|Selene
|colspan=2|<center>(Brendan, May, and Wally's Pokémon attack and defeat the other team's)<center/>
|''And we're helping, too!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Ace Trainer
|''You look ready to go in that outfit, Hau!''
|''Gah! Y-you win.''
|-
|-
|Hau
|colspan=2|<center>Brendan, May, and Wally have made it to an impressive twenty-win streak!<br>Brilliant! Amazing! How far can they take this winning streak?!<center/>
|''The design is based on one of Alola's guardian deities!''
|-
|-
|Selene
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to May, Brendan, and Wally chatting on the side of the arena)<center/>
|''Oh, like the one Mina's wearing?''
|-
|-

|May
|''Brendan! Wally! We did it! We won again!''
|-
|-
|Hau
|Wally
|''Yup! They're perfect for an Alola-style festival!''
|''That last combination attack with Latios worked so well, Brendan!''
|-
|-
|???
|Brendan
|''Yo! That's a sweet outfit you've got on!''
|''Yeah! I'm getting better at working together with Latios!<br>Latios is very gentle, but I can count on him when I really need to!<br>Your teamwork with Blaziken was perfect as well, May!''
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (1)
|May
|''It's just no fair. Why's it always you? We want in on this party, too!<br>Lend me those clothes! Hand 'em over, yo!''

|-
|-
|Hau
|Wally
|''Huh? My clothes?''
|''You're both amazing!<br>We've gotta work hard so we don't fall behind!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>And now, their next opponents are the ruffianly–<center/>
|-
|-
|Elio
|colspan=2|<center>(A tremor shakes the arena)<center/>
|''What's all the commotion?''
|-
|-
|Selene
|Brendan
|''If you wanna enjoy the festival, you shouldn't cause trouble!''
|''Wh-what's going on?!''
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (2)
|colspan=2|<center>We've just received some information about the disturbance that just occurred!<br>It appears that Team Magma and Team Aqua are clashing in a nearby town!<br>Therefore, this tournament will be postponed.<br>Everyone! Please stay calm and evacuate to a safe place!<center/>
|''Stingy!''
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (1)
|Brendan
|''Are we gonna have to teach 'em a lesson with a Pokémon battle?''
|''If what they said is true, we can't just stand back and watch this happen.''
|-
|-
|???
|May
|''Watch it, you two.''
|''Agreed! If Team Magma and Team Aqua are fighting, we have to stop them!''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(Plumeria appears)<center/>
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Maxie, Groudon, and Team Magma facing off against Archie, Kyogre, and Team Aqua in the middle of the town; they exchange a few blows)<center/>
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (1)
|Maxie
|''P-Plumeria!''
|''Right in the middle of town... What is the meaning of this, Archie?''
|-
|-
|Plumeria
|Archie
|''This festival's run by the foundation, and our promise still stands.<br>Don't bug 'em too much.''
|''That's my line, Maxie.''
|-
|-
|Team Skull Grunt (1)
|Courtney
|''O-OK...''
|''Kyogre...engaged us first...<br>Team Aqua... So barbaric...''
|-
|-
|Plumeria
|Matt
|''Sorry.''
|''What are you sayin'? Groudon was the one that attacked us first!<br>But y'know what? I've been itching to fight you guys anyway!<br>I'm gonna destroy Team Magma!''
|-
|-
|Selene
|Courtney
|''Did Plumeria just help us out?''
|''That's...my line... We'll... eliminate you!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Shelly
|''Seems like it.''
|''Are you aware that if Groudon and Kyogre keep on fighting like this–''
|-
|-
|???
|Tabitha
|''Heh. Guess you didn't need our help after all.''
|''Of course we know! Do YOU understand what could happen?!<br>Urgh... This isn't good!''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Gladion and Lillie appear)<center/>
|Shelly
|''We were operating carefully to avoid this...''
|-
|-
|Hau
|Maxie
|''Gladion! Lillie!''
|''*sigh* Fighting here is such a pointless endeavor.<br>Return, Groudon. Do not entertain them anymore.''
|-
|-
|Lillie
|Archie
|''Alola, everyone!''
|''Tch! That ain't the least bit satisfying. We're leaving, Kyogre!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|colspan=2|<center>(Groudon and Kyogre ignore their Trainers' orders and keep fighting)<center/>
|''Did you come for the festival too?''
|-
|-

|''Hm? What's wrong, Groudon?''
|-
|-
|Gladion

|''We know how strong you are, so we'd like to ask you for a favor.<br>Help us protect the Ultra Beasts.''
|-
|-

|-

|-

|-
|-

|''*sigh* How many times has this happened?<br>The reason why Ultra Wormholes are appearing on Pasio must be–''
|''I hadn't the slightest idea that this situation could occur...''
|-
|-
|colspan =2|<center>(Lusamine appears)<center/>
|Shelly
|''Pull yourself together, Archie!<br>Instead of wasting our time thinking about it, let's go and look for them!''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|Archie
|''The Ultra Beasts seem to have calmed down.''
|''Er... Yeah, that makes sense. You're right, Shelly.''
|-
|Tabitha
|''Let's look for Groudon, Maxie.<br>I'll instruct our team members to search around this area.''
|-

|Maxie
|''Yes, somehow...''
|''Yes... Please do that.''

|''Roger that...''
|-
|-
|Anabel
|colspan=2|<center>(Courtney and the Team Magma grunts leave)<center/>
|''No. This is my mission.<br>And I have other Trainers keeping watch over the town.''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|Shelly
|''Is that because you tend to attract Ultra Beasts?''
|''I don't care if we're putting our name on the line. We absolutely have to find Kyogre!''
|-
|-
|Anabel
|Matt
|''So you heard about that. Impressive.<br>You are correct. If I stay out of town, the damage will be kept to a minimum.<br>As long as I can protect everyone–especially the Ultra Beasts–I am perfectly content with my role.<br>And yet...dealing with the Ultra Beasts only when they appear won't solve the root problem.<br>Research data was stolen from the Aether Foundation...<br>Someone must be using it to intentionally make the Ultra Wormholes appear.<br>Most likely Team Rocket.''
|''Sure! Leave it to me!''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|colspan=2|<center>(Matt and the Team Aqua grunts leave)<center/>
|''I see...<br>It's possible my Necrozma is the cause, but it's been calm this whole time.<br>Though I can't deny that Ultra Beasts are appearing...''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|Archie
|''Considering the recent increase in lost Pokémon...<br>I think it's more likely that someone is intentionally opening Ultra Wormholes.''
|''However... Who is this that's suddenly appeared?''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|Maxie
|''Something happened the other day while we were working on Pokémon conservation.<br>We found another Pokémon with no Trainer, and we suspect it came from an Ultra Wormhole.''
|''And for what purpose...''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|???
|''Prince Lear said Hoopa played a similar trick once before, but...<br>we've confirmed that Hoopa is unable to return the lost Pokémon to where they belong.''
|''It's a guardian.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|colspan=2|<center>(Zinnia appears)<center/>
|''We believe this is because Hoopa doesn't know where they came from.''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|Zinnia
|''So the increase in lost Pokémon is the direct result of Ultra Wormholes being opened experimentally over and over again.''
|''It prevented Pasio from sinking while Kyogre and Groudon were rampaging.''
|-
|-
|Anabel
|Archie
|''I imagine Team Rocket's objective is to acquire rare Pokémon via the Ultra Wormholes.<br>Also...<br>If Team Rocket is behind this, there's one thing we should keep in mind.<br>Considering their usual MO, I believe there's a significant chance that an informant is operating inside the Aether Foundation.''
|''And you are...?''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|colspan=2|<center>(Brendan, May, and Wally arrive)<center/>
|''I can't imagine we'd have anyone like that in the foundation.<br>Unless...''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Flashback to the forest)<center/>
|Brendan
|''Team Magma and Team Aqua are facing off!''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|Wally
|''Faba did that?''
|''But...it's weird. They don't look like they're fighting.''
|-
|-
|Aether Foundation
|colspan=2|<center>(Steven, Paulo, and Looker appear)<center/>
|''Yes. Branch Chief Faba said he was on the phone with you, Madam President.''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|Steven
|''I don't recall that.''
|''Looks like the ruckus has calmed down for now.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Back to present)<center/>
|May
|''Steven!''
|-
|-
|Lusamine
|Steven
|''Could it be...''
|''I must ask you two, what in the world happened here?''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to the town; an Ultra Wormhole opens up and a Celesteela appears)<center/>
|Archie
|''Nothing crazy.<br>Maxie's Groudon attacked us, so I just retaliated.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>Ultra Beasts continued appearing all over Pasio.<center/>
|Maxie
|''What are you saying?<br>Your Kyogre attacked us, so we merely returned the favor.''
|-
|-
|Lillie
|Paulo
|''Hurry! Everyone, over here!''
|''Sounds like you both have opposite views of what happened.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(A group of tourists flees)<center/>
|Looker
|''*sigh* This is going nowhere.''
|-
|-
|Gladion
|Steven
|''Let's go.<br>You were born to be a beast killer...<br>But I'm sure you can use that power to protect the Ultra Beasts instead!''
|''What troubles me more is that we can't find Groudon or Kyogre.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Silvally attacks the Celesteela; an Ultra Wormhole opens behind Silvally and a Naganadel appears;<br>Lunala appears and attacks the Naganadel before it can hurt Silvally)<center/>
|Zinnia
|''That's easy.<br>Rayquaza intervened in their squabble and sent both of them away.<br>It didn't look like either of them started it. They just both lost it all of a sudden.''
|-
|-
|Lillie
|Steven
|''Are you OK, Gladion?''
|''Zinnia...''
|-
|-
|Gladion
|Tabitha
|''Heh. Right on cue.''
|''I agree with her.<br>Groudon and Kyogre were both behaving abnormally.''
|-
|-
|Lillie
|Shelly
|''I wonder if Elio and the others are okay...''
|''It was like they couldn't control their own power, and that's what set them off.''
|-
|-
|Gladion
|Looker
|''Don't worry about them. I asked them to help for a reason.<br>We have to make it through this first.''
|''Two Pokémon who have gone out of control have disappeared... What a troublesome situation.''
|-
|-
|Lillie
|Tabitha
|''OK!''
|''Maxie.<br>Maybe we're just not capable of properly handling the powers of super-ancient Pokémon after all.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to the ruins; an Ultra Wormhole opens and a Pheromosa appears)<center/>
|Maxie
|''You're right... They are entities far beyond the capacity of mere humans to control.''
|-
|-
|Selene
|Archie
|''Wait! Don't go that way!''
|''At the time, it seemed like Kyogre couldn't even hear me.<br>Yeah. If we stay together with them, the same thing might happen again.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Selene and Elio send out their Pokémon to stop Pheromosa)<center/>
|Steven
|''... ... ...''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Brendan
|''We have to stop them before they get to a populated area!''
|''That's not true!<br>The two of you have been friends with Groudon and Kyogre so far...<br>We can definitely become friends with any Pokémon!<br>So there's no way our feelings would fail to get through to them!''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Pheromosa runs away; Solgaleo appears and stops it; the player appears next to Solgaleo)<center/>
|May
|''Exactly! There has to be another reason why they lost control!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Wally
|''Solgaleo! <player>!''
|''Don't give up on the potential of people and Pokémon so easily!''
|-
|-
|Selene
|Steven
|''You came!''
|''Everyone...''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Brendan
|''What a relief!''
|''We'll search for Groudon and Kyogre, too!<br>So don't give up yet, you two!''
|-
|-
|Selene
|colspan=2|<center>(Brendan, May, and Wally head off; Maxie and Archie chuckle)<center/>
|''All right! My courage burns like the sun!''
|-
|-
|Elio
|Zinnia
|''Let's work together to hold back the Ultra Beasts!''
|''The potential of people and Pokémon...<br>It might be worth trusting what Brendan and the others are saying this time.''
|-
|-
|Selene
|Looker
|''Yeah!''
|''Hmm... I guess.''
|-
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Transition to Hala and Hau walking through the square)<center/>
|Steven
|''Until we figure out why they went out of control, we should hold off on securing them.<br>If their Trainers didn't instruct them to do it, then we must figure out what the reason was.<br>I will investigate as well.''
|-
|-
|Hala
|Zinnia
|''Dooot doo doo, just a kahuna on a stroll to the laguna. ♪<br>Wait, this disturbance I feel...''
|''Hold up, Champion.<br>Before you go, would you like to hear a special hint from yours truly?''
|-

|-

|''Hold on. Don't rush to conclusions.<br>There are people in Team Plasma who have different views.<br>And the people who respected N, instead of Ghetsis, decided to leave the organization.<br>Those people are now managing a refuge to protect Pokémon, to make up for what they did.''

|-
|Team Flare Grunt (1)
|''Gwah!''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Diantha and Diancie appear)<center/>
|-
|Diantha
|''You've been causing quite the ruckus. Not just at my play but in town, too?<br>Stop dragging innocent people into your schemes!''
|-
|Team Flare Grunt (2)
|''I didn't expect Champion Diantha to step in and stop us...''
|-
|Team Flare Grunt (1)
|''Shoot! There's no way we can take them on now.''
|-
|Serena
|''Diantha! You came to help us!''

|''You're Malva! A member of the Kalos Elite Four!''
|-
|Malva
|''Yes, I am. Pleasure to meet you.<br>What a ruckus that was.<br>It seems you all were able to resolve it, though.''
|-
|Calem
|''By the way... Where were you all this time, Looker?''
|-
|Looker
|''I had a minor errand to take care of.''
|-
|Emma
|''Mr. Looker!<br>Me and Mimi worked hard together and protected this city!''
|-
|Looker

|-
|Emma
|''Ehehe!''
|-
|Malva
|''What good children they are.''
|-
|colspan=2|<center>(Malva walks up behind Looker to whisper in his ear)<center/>
|-
|Malva
|''If you don't help and our weapon gets stolen by the traitors...<br>Then, as a member of Team Flare, I have no choice but to be a bit forceful in order to dispose of the traitors.<br>Power must be fought with power and weapons with weapons...<br>If we don't, there's a chance that such a powerful weapon might accidentally hurt those children...''
|-
|Looker
|''... ... ...!''
|-
|Emma
|''What's wrong, Mr. Looker? You look scary.''
|-
|Looker
|''Oh, it's nothing!''
|-
|Malva
|''I've sneakily positioned members of Team Flare dressed as civilians at a number of spots on Pasio.<br>They're prepared to spring into action on my signal...<br>Much like they showed you earlier.''

|''... ... ...''
|-
|Malva

|''So you find Volcanion...beautiful?''
|-
|Lysandre
|''Yes.<br>The reason I find it beautiful is because of how it chooses to exist.<br>Volcanion possesses massive power, but instead of brandishing it, it chooses to hide itself within the steam...<br>I do not plan to monopolize Volcanion's power for my own ideals.<br>But if any foolish human appears and tries to pollute this world with filth...<br>Volcanion and I shall come out of the steam and pass judgment.''
|-

|''Hey, Lysandre.<br>In Kalos, you thought that without the power of Pokémon, you weren't able to use the ultimate weapon...<br>And even now, you need Volcanion's help, right?<br>If you think you need help from others in order to pursue your motives...<br>then instead of trying to destroy the world, why don't you find a way to protect it, with help from everyone else?''

If I stay out of town, the damage will be kept to a minimum.<br>As long as I can protect everyone–especially the Ultra Beasts–I am perfectly content with my role.<br>And yet...dealing with the Ultra Beasts only when they appear won't solve the root problem.<br>Research data was stolen from the Aether Foundation...<br>Someone must be using it to intentionally make the Ultra Wormholes appear.<br>Most likely Team Rocket.''

|-
|Aether Foundation (1)
|''Prince Lear said Hoopa played a similar trick once before, but...<br>we've confirmed that Hoopa is unable to return the lost Pokémon to where they belong.''
|-
|Aether Foundation (2)
|''We believe this is because Hoopa doesn't know where they came from.''
|-
|Lusamine
|''So the increase in lost Pokémon is the direct result of Ultra Wormholes being opened experimentally over and over again.''
|-
|Anabel
|''I imagine Team Rocket's objective is to acquire rare Pokémon via the Ultra Wormholes.<br>Also...<br>If Team Rocket is behind this, there's one thing we should keep in mind.<br>Considering their usual MO, I believe there's a significant chance that an informant is operating inside the Aether Foundation.''
