Dazed, I found myself looking up at an unfamiliar sky. "Who... am I?" The trivial question escaped out of my mind and left my mouth as I watched it in confusion. But what concerned me more than having asked that question was the fact that I didn't have an answer. For several long seconds, I looked up at the purple void above me. "Se- Selene? Yeah, that feels right. Selene..." Even if that wasn't my name, it was good enough for now.
"How did I get here?" I tried to recall the answer as I had my name but with no luck so I tried going back to the most recent thing I could remember. My mind landed on boxes, a lot of cardboard boxes. "Moving! I-I had just moved to the Alola region from Kanto with mom and Meowth." From there, I was able to retrace my steps. "Popplio was the first Pokémon to join me, it later became an Incin- no, a Primarina. Next it was a Buneary... I think. Then a Steenee was next... No, I'm missing something..." The seconds ticked by as I scraped my mind for memories. "Ma. Ma, ma, maaaaa~. Mawile! Mawile was next, then Steenee, then Salandit, and finally Ralts." I couldn't shake the feeling that I was forgetting a Pokémon, a 7th member of my team. But that was ridiculous, even in this state I knew that one could only have 6 Pokémon with them at a time.
It was then that a Pokémon floated from one side of my vision to another so I instinctively reached for my hip but there was nothing there, my Pokémon were gone. Instead of my team at my hip, there was a strange noise, like broken ceramic clattering together. Next to my body was a broken pile of dark cyan. But what interested more then that was what was next to the shards, me, or more specifically, the white suit that covered me neck to toe. I was shocked and appalled by my old self's fashion sense until I remembered that the suit had a purpose. "U-ultra space..." That's where I was. I was in the middle of ultra space, but why? I could remember ridding here on the back of a Pokémon. Lunala...? or was it Solgaleo? Maybe Lunala was the one who fused with Necrozma?
"Necrozma!" What was left of my helmet crumbled off of my head as I sat up in shock. "Ow~" Sitting up had sent a wave of pain through my back... and the rest of my body. "T-there's no time for this, I need to get to Ultra Megalopolis and stop Necrozma from stealing the light!" The sentiment was all well and good but after being knocked off of Solgaleo, all I had left was my bag and the items within.
*Buzz* Something moved in my back pocket. "Zzzat was a rough ride partner." Rotom-Dex. Of course, my 7th Pokémon. "Are you okay? You don't look too good."
He hovered in front of me, looking me up and down. "I'm fine, just a bit bruised is all. But what about you? There's a huge crack in your screen."
"There izz!? Well, fortunately the Pokédex zeems to be working even if the screen iz cracked."
"Rotom, is it possible to contact the professor with the Pokédex?"
"Nope. Even if I could, therez no way the signal would reach him from the middle of ultra space."
"True... So we really are on our own, huh."
"Lookz like it."
"Then let's get moving. Maybe there's something useful around here. But first..." I shed the ultra recon suit and left it where I landed as I wasn't going to get much more use out of it now.
As me and Rotom took our first steps into the ultra wilds I reached into my pocket. "At least my sunglasses survived."
