At Professor Kukui's house.
After Lusamine and Professor Burnet introduced themselves,
"Alola!"
Wicke introduced herself with a smile:
"I handle Pokémon conservation at the foundation, and I occasionally do some secretarial work too!"
"I am Faba, head of the research division."
Lusamine suddenly turned to Ash. "Let's get straight to the point. Could we meet Cosmog?"
"?"
Then, with a nod from Professor Kukui, Ash picked Cosmog up in his arms.
"What a sweet little one!"
As though she were playing with a child, Lusamine gently teased Cosmog with her fingertips.
Beside her, Professor Burnet finally confirmed,
"This really is an Ultra Beast..."
Ash couldn't help turning to Professor Burnet.
"What's an Ultra Beast?"
"Let me explain."
Professor Burnet borrowed Professor Kukui's computer and showed them images of the Altar of the Sunne.
"That's Tapu Koko!"
"And Tapu Lele!"
The images showed murals of the four Island Guardians.
Of course, there were murals of other Ultra Beasts as well.
As Professor Burnet showed them the murals, she explained, "Long ago, a great battle took place between mysterious creatures from another world and the Island Guardians."
Holding Snowy, Lillie exclaimed in surprise:
"I read about that in a book!"
Ash knew nothing about these great battles. He simply pressed on, "Is Cosmog an Ultra Beast?"
Burnet nodded. "It's very likely."
"All Ultra Beasts give off a unique Ultra Aura. That's what we based our conclusion on."
As Wicke worked the computer, a full view of the Altar of the Sunne appeared before Ash.
Ash suddenly pointed at the screen in surprise.
"That's the place!"
The place Ash had dreamed about yesterday was the Altar of the Sunne.
"Solgaleo and Lunala appeared in my dream too. They were up in the sky."
"Then Cosmog appeared from the sky."
"Solgaleo..."
"Lunala..."
Knock, knock-
