Elsewhere, at the [[Pokémon School]], [[Professor Kukui]] shows the class the result of environmental differences between an {{alo|Vulpix}} and {{p|Vulpix}}. The lesson is interrupted by {{p|Komala}} who furiously hits the school’s bell before [[Samson Oak|Principal Oak]] enters the room. He explains to the classmates, whom he refers to as the [[Ultra Guardians]], that [[Lusamine]] called to alert him to a new emergency, another [[Ultra Beast]] has arrived. And with that, Kukui lifts the blackboard up to reveal a secret control panel. He slams his hand into the centre, causing the book shelf and ladder to move to reveal a secret elevator shaft. Samson adds that the Pokémon School and [[Aether Foundation]] have agreed to collaborate. Kukui commands the students to get into their positions, and with that the group assemble, with a port for each of them and a larger seventh slot for their Pokemon.

Once there, the group are greeted by Lusamine’s {{p|Clefable}}, who points up at a screen. Lusamine welcomes the group alongside [[Professor Burnet]] and [[Wicke]], and adds that Clefable is also an Ultra Guardian member and will remain at the base. She shows the footage of Laki’s earlier filming, in response {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} pull out its blond wig to cosplay as Laki. Burnet reminds Rotom to pay attention to the footage as the group sees an Utlra Beast emerge from an Ultra Wormhole. The footage then shows, what Wicke has dubbed as {{p|Buzzwole}}, take on several {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. The group are in awe of its power and muscular physique, and at Lusamine’s digression Rotom adds all of the Aether Foundation’s data to its system. Lusamine explains that Ultra Beasts are also now considered Pokémon. Wicke details that Buzzwole's appearance in Melemele Meadow was accidental. Lusamine adds that the Aether Foundation believe its destructive power is a symptom of it being stressed in a foreign environment, and requires that the group capture Buzzwole to protect Alola. Clefable then presents [[Ash]] with a box of [[Beast Ball]]s, and gives Lillie a first-aid kit full of [[Full Restore]]s, [[Max Potion]]s, [[Pecha Berry|Pecha]] and [[Aspear Berry|Aspear]] berries. Lusamine is confident the group will be fine since they faced have {{p|Nihilego}} before. Just as she sends them off, Lusamine has the group practice their "Ult Rodger" sign-offs, much to Lillie’s embarrassment. They are then sent back up the elevator and select their Ride Pokémon: Ash with {{p|Garchomp}}, {{an|Sophocles}} picks {{p|Metang}}, {{an|Mallow}} pairs with {{p|Flygon}}, {{an|Lana}} soars on {{p|Dragonair}}, Lillie takes {{p|Altaria}} and {{an|Kiawe}} is surprised to see his {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}.

Plot

Laki and his Smeargle are in the midst of filming in Melemele Meadow when an Ultra Wormhole appears. The mysterious creature falls through before flying off into the distance, much to everyone’s surprise.

Elsewhere, at the Pokémon School, Professor Kukui shows the class the result of environmental differences between an Alolan Vulpix and Vulpix. The lesson is interrupted by Komala who furiously hits the school’s bell before Principal Oak enters the room. He explains to the classmates, whom he refers to as the Ultra Guardians, that Lusamine called to alert him to a new emergency, another Ultra Beast has arrived. And with that, Kukui lifts the blackboard up to reveal a secret control panel. He slams his hand into the centre, causing the book shelf and ladder to move to reveal a secret elevator shaft. Samson adds that the Pokémon School and Aether Foundation have agreed to collaborate. Kukui commands the students to get into their positions, and with that the group assemble, with a port for each of them and a larger seventh slot for their Pokemon. On their descent, Lillie explains that the elevator is just the kind of technology her mother, who she calls childish, enjoys. They are all automatically suited up into new tight-fitting armored outfits, complete with gloves, and their Pokémon all receive special badges. Their joy rides end in a basement location, the Ultra Guardians base.

Once there, the group are greeted by Lusamine’s Clefable, who points up at a screen. Lusamine welcomes the group alongside Professor Burnet and Wicke, and adds that Clefable is also an Ultra Guardian member and will remain at the base. She shows the footage of Laki’s earlier filming, in response Rotom Pokédex pull out its blond wig to cosplay as Laki. Burnet reminds Rotom to pay attention to the footage as the group sees an Utlra Beast emerge from an Ultra Wormhole. The footage then shows, what Wicke has dubbed as Buzzwole, take on several Fighting-type Pokémon. The group are in awe of its power and muscular physique, and at Lusamine’s digression Rotom adds all of the Aether Foundation’s data to its system. Lusamine explains that Ultra Beasts are also now considered Pokémon. Wicke details that Buzzwole's appearance in Melemele Meadow was accidental. Lusamine adds that the Aether Foundation believe its destructive power is a symptom of it being stressed in a foreign environment, and requires that the group capture Buzzwole to protect Alola. Clefable then presents Ash with a box of Beast Balls, and gives Lillie a first-aid kit full of Full Restores, Max Potions, Pecha and Aspear berries. Lusamine is confident the group will be fine since they faced have Nihilego before. Just as she sends them off, Lusamine has the group practice their "Ult Rodger" sign-offs, much to Lillie’s embarrassment. They are then sent back up the elevator and select their Ride Pokémon: Ash with Garchomp, Sophocles picks Metang, Mallow pairs with Flygon, Lana soars on Dragonair, Lillie takes Altaria and Kiawe is surprised to see his Charizard. The river close to the Pokémon School opens, as the Ultra Guardians are launched in air with their Ride Pokémon. Lana and Lillie enjoy the view of the sky, while Ash believes they look cool right now.

Buzzwole lands near a lake and notices its reflection, where it flexes its muscles. Suddenly, Bewear confronts Buzzwole before the two engage in an intense match of strengths. Meanwhile, Meowth and Wobbuffet are busy harvesting berries, though stop after wondering where Bewear ran off to. They soon stumble upon Bewear fighting against Buzzwole, Meowth notes Bewear is faced with some stiff competition and is unable to translate Buzzwole’s speech. Jessie and Mimikyu stumble upon the duo, though Meowth warns her to keep quiet. Suddenly, James with Mareanie on his shoulder enters the scene, though before he can utter a sentence, Bewear grabs them all and runs.

Meanwhile, the purple creature is floating through the forest, and looks up to the sky to see the Ultra Guardians flying overhead.

Rotom leads the Ultra Guardians to the task’s location, just as Buzzwole has finished draining energy from Snorlax’s body. Ash runs passed the casualty, though everyone else helps to heal Snorlax with a Full Restore and several berries.

Ash catches up to Buzzwole, though is perplexed to see the Pokémon busy flexing its muscles. Rotom calls for Ash to pay attention. Pikachu starts off with a Quick Attack, though it evades and sends Pikachu into a tree. Not satisfied, Pikachu is punched into the air, passing Poipole on its ascent, and falling to the ground at a meteoric speed.

The Pokémon enters, too easily, and everyone surrounds the still rattling Beast Ball only for it to stop, meaning a successful capture. As this is happening, Poipole flies up to Pikachu before knocking him over and flying off.

At Melemele Meadow, the Ultra Guardians meet up with Kukui, Lusamine, Burnet and Wicke. Burnet prepares to re-open the Ultra Wormhole with her machinery, noting it is easier to open one where it has opened before. With the Wormhole now opened, Ash calls on Buzzwole. Kukui is impressed by its size, while Lusamine tells Buzzwole that it can return home now. The Ultra Guardians send off the Pokémon with their own flexing, as it flies through the Ultra Wormhole. And with that, the Ultra Wormhole closes over. Lusamine commends the Ultra Guardians efforts and announces that their first mission was a success, to which they cheer "Ult Rodger!".

Some time later, Pikachu is paranoid that it is being followed, thinking the mysterious purple Pokémon from earlier is hiding in the bushes. Instead, it turns out to be an Ariados. The purple Pokémon watches on and laughs while Pikachu is chased by the Bug-type.
