Sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains, casting a slender beam across the room. The person lying in bed turned over, raising a hand to shield their eyes as they blinked awake.
Stretching lazily in the morning light, Guo Yi got out of bed and headed off to wash up.
At that moment—
To his surprise, Su Qingxue was already waiting outside his door with breakfast in hand and Nidoran♀ by her side.
“Qingxue? You’re here so early!”
Guo Yi greeted her w...

As the first organization to discover and study Ultra Beasts, the Aether Foundation naturally had some knowledge of them—though their research mainly focused on Ultra Wormholes.
As for Nihilego, they’d simply given it the code name UB01.
“...To better capture Ultra Beasts, we developed this specialized Poké Ball, called the Beast Ball,” Wicke explained, producing a blue, mesh-patterned Poké Ball.
Beast Ball!
Gold took it from Wicke, examining it with...

The sudden appearance of a black vortex in the sky drew everyone’s attention.
“What is that…?”
It was the first time Cynthia had seen anything like it; her face was a mix of curiosity and awe.
But Wicke had already grown tense. “It’s the sign of an Ultra Wormhole opening!”
With the president clearly unwell, Wicke took over command, issuing orders across the Aether Foundation intercom:
“Level Two Alert! Emergency teams, assemble in the Protected Zo...

As the Aether Foundation staff looked on in shock, Lusamine gave the order to release Cosmog.
The moment Lusamine spoke, the staff snapped out of their stupor.
A research supervisor, summoning his courage, stepped forward to plead,
“President... are you sure you want to let it go? Our research is on the verge of a breakthrough…”
They simply couldn’t understand her decision.
If Cosmog was released now, everything they’d worked for would be ruined!

Lillie was convinced she still hadn’t fully woken up—she must be dreaming.
Not only had her always-strict mother suddenly turned so gentle, she’d even found Lillie a young new father...

Lillie squeezed her eyes shut, clutching her head and curling into herself, desperately hoping to shake herself awake from this bizarre dream.
But after a dozen seconds, when she opened her eyes again—
What she saw was still her mother’s concerned face, and...

Traitor!
That was the first thought running through the minds of the wild Zoroark upon waking.
Bound hand and foot, they lay sprawled on the ground in utter disgrace.
And not far away sat the human they had encountered before fainting—Elias.
On his shoulder rested the very same Zoroark who had knocked them out cold.
It took only a second for realization to hit.
There’s a traitor in the tribe!
Something they’d never imagined pos...

What’s the holdup?
The wild Zoroark stared in confusion as their clean-furred kin hesitated to come closer.
But still, none of them felt alarmed.
After all, Zoroark were few in number—and their reputation among humans was already notorious.
No matter how you looked at it, there was no way a Zoroark would actually be on good terms with a human, much less attack their own kind for them, right?
With that assumption firmly in mind, the wild Zoroark began...

Sensing that Zoroark was in a sour mood, Elias gently squeezed her paw in silent comfort.
The reason Zoroark had left her tribe wasn’t complicated.
It mostly came down to a personality mismatch.
The title fierce beast was admittedly a bit of an exaggeration for her—but it wasn’t entirely undeserved.
Most Zoroark preferred to dwell in the snowfields, using their fur to blend into the terrain and ambush lone travelers for food.
Thanks to their unique...

“This is the Galaxy Team’s lead researcher on Poké Balls—Professor Laventon.”
Cyllene gestured to the man beside her, introducing him to Elias and Cynthia.
Elias gave the man a brief once-over.
The man—Laventon—was currently tugging at his headscarf with a sheepish smile that almost looked... dopey.

To Zoroark, ordinary Poké Balls were nothing more than paper cages—something she could break free from without effort.
But the black one before her…
She could feel something different. A subtle pressure. A sense of restraint.
She’d never been caught, of course—but her instincts as a Pokémon told her: this ball had a much higher capture efficiency.
That alone was enough to pique Zoroark’s curiosity—especially since she’d been so invested lately in resear...

Without it, Seimei is nothing to this humble monk, even after devouring Chernobog and Itzpapalotl. He’s just another overconfident fool, the sort I could crush with a snap of my fingers!”

Ashiya Douman—a legendary onmyōji from the Heian era. Although he lost more than he won in his duels with Abe no Seimei, no one ever underestimated him. He was always seen as the second greatest onmyōji, right behind Seimei.

On the other—a filthy abyss overflowing with malice.
A black sun sneered, radiating evil intent. Countless shining stars orbited that sun, each trying to tear apart the other’s domain, a cosmic tug-of-war.

Jiang Bai teleported straight to the ley line waypoint atop Mondstadt’s city walls.
Looking down from above, he noticed everyone in Mondstadt hurrying along, worry written all over their faces.
That puzzled Jiang Bai—last time he’d visited, things hadn’t been like this.
He jumped down, opened his Wind Glider, and headed toward Klee’s place.
