• The brothers’ disagreement over truth and ideals divided the kingdom, and they demanded that Kyurem choose which belief was right.
• Kyurem decided to split himself in two.

Kyurem remembered how his two divided selves abandoned him, fought over truth and ideals, and eventually returned their power as Dragon Stones, leaving him unable to regain his complete form. He recalled meeting Su Hao and finding an unusual friendship before entering a long slumber, then confronted Su Hao after he awoke from the memory.

• Kyurem entered a long slumber, wondering whether Su Hao would find him a hundred thousand years later.
• Su Hao awoke from Kyurem's memory, and Kyurem appeared in the consciousness space and accused him of rummaging through his secrets.

• Mewtwo explained that Zygarde had brought the seven Legendary Pokémon back before collapsing and had been nearly overwhelmed by another Mewtwo shrouded in black mist.

• Hoopa described the black Mewtwo’s terrifying appearance, and Su Hao suspected its power came from Dark Matter.

• Su Hao returned to Yang City and learned from Mewtwo that cultivating Groudon clones would take too long for the coming war.

Su Hao entered Hoopa’s consciousness space and found Little Hoopa playing a game with Hoopa’s Evil Thoughts, which was waiting for him rather than trying to seize its original body. Hoopa’s Evil Thoughts proposed an alliance, but Su Hao refused and warned it that lies would not work on him.

• Su Hao awoke outside Little Hoopa's consciousness to find Diancie holding a strange core crystal embedded in rock.

• Giovanni arrived with Dark Mewtwo and Solgaleo, and Dark Mewtwo removed the Imprison while holding Hoopa's Evil Thoughts in place with Confusion.

Su Hao obtained Jirachi’s Wish Note, intending to use it to awaken Terapagos, but an Ultra Wormhole suddenly opened as he returned to Yang City.

• As Su Hao and Little Hoopa returned to Yang City, an Ultra Wormhole appeared and something forced its way through the opening.

• A Master Level Kartana cut open an Ultra Wormhole, and swarms of Kartana, Poipole, and Naganadel emerged with God Paper Users and refugees.
