Shiranui was also curious about what information Veronica may have shared with Chuck.

Nayamashii and Tsuchi thanked Liam for the healing items. "What is our next move from here?" Shiranui asked.

Shiranui saw the bizarre spectacle and before he could comment on it, what looked like a ton of bricks with eyes encased him in a mini tower. "Nayamashii, Toxic!" He sent his Salazzle out and the latter sprayed a caustic toxin that badly poisoned the brick colony and sent it flying apart until it reassembled in front of Shiranui as a four-legged square tower with a window. The tower launched two bricks at Nayamashii for a two-hit Rock Blast and the Salazzle was knocked out from the blows. "Nayamashii, return; Tsuchi, use High Horsepower!" Shiranui switched the downed Salazzle and sent his Mudsdale out. Tsuchi reared onto his hind legs before charging at the tower. The Mudsdale slammed into the tower with his one-ton mass and Shiranui threw a Beast Ball at the brick colony. The ball shook once and pinged shut to Shiranui's surprise, indicating a critical capture. Naming his new catch Atsumeru, Shiranui scanned both it and the juggling clown.
"Stakataka, the Rampart Pokémon (alias: UB Assembly). It appeared from an Ultra Wormhole. Each one appears to be made up of many life-forms stacked one on top of each other."
"Blacephalon, the Fireworks Pokémon (alias: UB Burst). It slithers toward people. Then, without warning, it triggers the explosion of its own head and takes advantage of opponents’ surprise to rob them of their vitality. It’s apparently one kind of Ultra Beast."

"They're also quick and agile," Shiranui added after landing and dismounting Kaki, "Kaki, Flamethrower that way!" He pointed and Kaki let loose with a Flamethrower and scored a direct hit on another of the origami-like Ultra Beasts with her leading shot. Shiranui threw a Beast Ball at the downed Ultra Beast and after a while the ball pinged shut. He opened his Pokédex to see what he just captured.
"Kartana, the Drawn Sword Pokémon (alias: UB-04 Blade). This Ultra Beast came from the Ultra Wormhole. It seems not to attack enemies on its own, but its sharp body is a dangerous weapon in itself. It was observed cutting down a gigantic steel tower with one stroke of its blade." Shiranui named his new catch Kirigami.

Shiranui saw the destruction wrought on Malie Garden from the air and was horrified.

"Be prepared for anything," Shiranui warned, "Unlike before, we don't know what our next targets are so we're going in blind."

Shiranui sent Kaki out and the duo took to the sky, heading for Malie City. After landing at the Pokémon Centre and healing up his party, Shiranui gave Prof. Oak a call and changed his party to his A-game.

There's still Stakataka and Blacephalon.

"We should get moving before any more nasty surprises are sprung on us," suggested Shiranui, wondering what kind of Ultra Beasts are wreaking havoc this time.

Shiranui noticed the newspaper clippings and read through them. "There was apparently a fire here," he noted, "That may explain why Po Town became a ghost town until Team Skull took root."
