After crossing the Ultra Wormhole, the group discovers Lusamine held captive by an Ultra Beast that controls her mind. She rejects their help, forcing Ash, Lillie, and their friends to intervene. Both sides deploy their Pokémon, but Lusamine’s team is also under the creature’s influence. Lillie confronts her mother’s Clefable, using shared memories to break the mental hold and free the Pokémon. While this occurs, Ash rides Solgaleo to locate Lusamine and the controlling Ultra Beast directly. The team must overcome the mind control to save Lusamine and end the threat.
