~At Pokemon Ivestigator HQ~

Giovanni walks to his office as he knew that things wouldn't be easy as it appears to be. He felt regret of doing the unthinkable: Separating Ash and Serena and their only son. 

He sighs, as he remembered the words that Spark had said to him: You know... I am still not over of what you done, Giovanni. 

But I wanted to say, Thank you." 

The words struck nerve on him as he knew that his time as a villain is done. He decided to take on a new life , just like Spark suggested as he became the new Pokémon Investigator Headmaster in the Sinnoh Region. 

"Headmaster Mekhi, we have dire news." A agent said to him, interrupting his thoughts, as he turns to her, "What is it?"

"There is trouble, involving with a trainer named Spark Ketchum." 

When he heard Spark's name, he said, "Tell me what's happening to him immediately." 

The Headmaster hang his head as his suspections were high. "As I suspect, she has made her move on the Ketchum family. 

We have to go further investigate on her whereabouts immediately." 

The agent nods as she left the scene as Giovanni turns to an nearby person who was listening into the dire news. 

"You heard about it, haven't you? You must help Spark as much as possible. Do you understand the risk and task at hand, Red?"

The trainer walked out the shadows, as he reveals his head up high to the Pokémon Investigator, "Of course, but I'm going to bring some friends along with me to do the mission at hand."  

~At Cameran Palace~

Lady Irene was in her throne room as Spark and Jessie burst into the room. 

"My goodness! Spark and Jessie, what a surprise! I never thought of seeing the two of you here in the castle. " 

Jessie said, "I'm so sorry for bursting into the castle without you knowing your highness, but we have a serious problem." 

"Yeah, my mom and Persia, they've been kidnapped!" The sixteen year old trainer said. 

The queen said, "That is a serious problem. I helped you of course with knowing about The Ancient Prophecy and learning about your father. I'm willing to help anyway I can." 

Spark and Jessie felt totally relief that they would have help from an familiar ally. 

They sat on the garden house as Lady Irene looks at Spark, "You have grown a bit since we last saw each other, haven't you?"

"I guess I haven't been visiting Cameran Palace in a while since Ash came into my life. I'm so sorry about that." Spark apologized to the queen.

The queen waves her hand, "No, it's quite understandable. It's not everyday you find out that the person you looked up to is the world-famous Ash Ketchum. " 

Jessie said, "Yeah, and Meowth and James are leading their own lives too. They decided to travel to a new region I believe is called , Aloha Region to seek out new Pokémon research with Gary Oak." 

Spark beamed, "I'm glad that you guys were able to make up considering what happened with Giovanni." 

The trio seems to grow silent by that name. 

Jessie broke the ice, "I still can't believe that Giovanni actually used Ash as an experiment, it's not fair and also it tore a lot of bond and trust with most of the friends he had on his journeys , especially for Bonnie and Clement." 

Spark nodded, he known Bonnie and Clement as a child, and he never saw them fully happy during the time Ash disappeared from their lives. 

"Well, at any case, if this is by a new threat, we have to stop them." Jessie said, as she was about to leave the room, Spark said, "Jessie, we don't have any leads of who took my mother and Persia. 

I think it's best to take care of my father and the others with the poison first, then go search for them. 

I don't want to take unfair risks of loosing my girlfriend or my mother." Spark said, which the queen was impressed by his speech.

"I'll heal Ash and the others with Mew. Spark , you and Jessie should have a head start of finding your loved ones." 

Spark nods, "Right. Thanks, Lady Ilene." 

The two trainers left as N said, "You didn't informed them about Team RR. They are ruthless gang and if they find out about Spark's hidden abilities-" 

"Spark will have to find those abilities himself. Only he and he alone will face Team RR and Latifa. N, I want you to keep a close eye on them at all costs without them being suspious." 

"As you wish, your highness." N said. 

~At Aether Paradise~ 

Latifa brought Serena and Persia to the ground, as the girls were tied up as Latifa said, "Mother, I have brought the trainers you have requested ." 

 The girls looked up to see a blond woman who is Steph's mother. 

"Good job, sweetheart. You are dismissed."

"B-But mom, we can't allow a trainer to know about the Ultra Beasts! Or the Ultra Dark balls-" 

"I said, you are dismissed! ARE YOU DEFYING MY ORDERS AGAIN?!?" 

Latifa said, nervously at her mother's wrath, "N-No, I'm not , madam. I'll be going now." 

Persia said, "Just who you think you are, kidnapping us?!? Let us go!" 

"Why, I should do that? You have been chosen to be my test subjects for the Ultra Beasts. " 

Serena looks at the mysterious woman, "What you mean by "Ultra Beasts?" Is that some sort of Pokémon?"

The woman smiled evilly as the guards pulled the girls up, as the girls looked up to see a Pokémon that they never seen before. 

The woman said, "Nihilego, I offer you two human specimens for you to absorb ."

The girls were terrified as Nihilego went towards them as they absorbs them to be their hosts.

The woman laughed as a lab assistant said, "Subject UB-01 and 2 Host testing is completely synchronize, Madam Lusamine. "

Lusamine smiles as she said, "Let the games begin."
