| ShortSummary = After a strange dream involving the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala, Ash has a hard time waking up. On his way to school, he's sidetracked by Tapu Koko, who guides him to a little Pokémon that looks like a cloud of stars and that Rotom can't identify. Lillie nicknames it Nebby, and Ash remembers his dream: he had promised to take care of it! This attracts the attention of Lillie’s mother, Lusamine, the head of the Aether Foundation. She and her colleagues come to meet Nebby and offer to care for (and research) this unknown Pokémon. But Ash is resolute in his promise, so Nebby's identity is a mystery for now.

Thanks again to Teleport, Team Rocket is sent back to Bewear and Nebby makes its way back to Ash—all by itself!

| ShortSummary = The Ultra Guardians, along with Faba and Professor Kukui, are attempting to return The Blinding One to its original form! As Necrozma in its “UB Black” form, it’s holding Solgaleo captive and threatening Poipole’s home world. Our heroes have been attempting to “feed” Necrozma with Z-Power to restore its light, but it’s not enough. That’s when the people of Alola band together to send their own power to Necrozma—and it works! The Blinding One is restored and Solgaleo is released. Poipole’s world is renewed, too, and Poipole decides to stay behind to protect it. As a final goodbye present, it draws a loving portrait of Ash and Pikachu.

| ShortSummary = Ash, Kiawe and Mimo discover an amazing place called Pikachu Valley, home to the biggest group of Pikachu they’ve ever seen! Their Trainer is a major pika-fan named Pikala, who gives everyone a set of Pikachu ears and a tail and insists that they all talk in Pikaspeak by adding “pika” to every sentence. At first, Ash’s Pikachu seems to be a big hit with the ladies—but Pikala clarifies that they’re just offering their usual pika-greetings. Annoyed by this behavior, the boss Pikachu challenges our buddy to a battle, but Ash’s Pikachu wins—and then thwarts an attempt by Team Rocket to grab the whole group.

Unfortunately, a rival shows up for a revenge match, forcing Faba to don the mask and take to the ring!
