After settling the Genesect in a remote forest, Jing He learned that Team Plasma had attacked a museum in Nuvema Town to find a meteorite. Suspecting the attack was a diversion for a strike on the DNA Splicers in Twinleaf Town, he realized Colress was already approaching the town by destroyer.

• Jing He, Caitlin, and Cynthia reached Twinleaf Town, where Jing He admitted his warning about a possible Team Plasma attack was only a guess and arranged to meet Shauntal.

• Colress ordered a second shot and sent Klink and Klang out while Mewtwo struggled to hold back the combined blasts.
• Jing He summoned his Pokémon, grasped his Key Stone, and commanded Mewtwo to Mega Evolve.

• Colress showed Ghetsis an ancient document about the Abyssal Ruins and Reveal Glass as a possible direction for his research.
• At the beach, Gengar lost a swimming race to Urshifu, Milotic, and Gastrodon, then won by using Shadow Ambush to reach the finish first.

• Gengar found two Dark Stones on the altar, and Jing He kept them after Volkner woke up with a swollen face.
