==Plot==
 asks and for their help finding the of a that was sent to an antique shop in Alola. Accepting the task, the two go to Centra City and ask around, but to no avail. As Gladion is frustrated over not finding Magearna's Trainer, approaches. He asks to study Magearna in order to research communication between humans and Pokémon, but Gladion cuts him off with a refusal. Gladion sends out to guard Magearna, an action that Colress interprets as an invitation for a battle. Before they can fight, Lusamine enters the area to stop them, explaining Magearna's situation to Colress. He is disappointed that he can't research it, but requests that they give it to him if they are unable to find its Trainer. 
Colress exits, but Gladion is still angered. He explains that Colress reminded him of the way Nebby and Silvally were mistreated for research purposes, and that he is determined to reunite Magearna with its Trainer to prevent the same thing from happening to it. Lusamine warns him that he may never find its Trainer, and that someone could attempt to steal it, telling him that it's vital for a trusted Trainer to keep it safe. Lillie begins to suggest that Gladion could be Magearna's Trainer, but he declines, refusing to leave it separated from its family. He walks away to continue his search, and Magearna follows him.
Later, as Gladion and Magearna search for its Trainer, Lillie meets up with them. She reveals that Lear will be holding a party at his manor with a number of antique collectors in attendance. She suggests going to it to find more information about Magearna's Trainer. Dressed formally, Lillie and Gladion attend the party with Magearna. There, the guests are mesmerized by the Mythical Pokémon. Gladion asks two of them if they know of its Trainer, but neither has any idea. After Gladion walks away with Magearna, Lusamine approaches the two guests and asks if they are "ready." They agree, and she leaves them.
As Gladion continues speaking with the party guests, there is a sudden scream. He and Magearna turn to see a cornered by a and a . The two guests Gladion spoke with earlier are now shown wearing Team Break masks. Threatening the Lady, they demand for Gladion to give them Magearna. 
Gladion pauses, then sends Magearna toward them. He calls out to it, and it opens its metal arm, filling the area with blinding light. When it dissipates, the people in Team Break masks are shocked to see that the Lady has vanished. They turn around to see Gladion, standing in front of both Magearna and the Lady. 
Gladion yells at the masked people, saying he will do everything he can to protect Magearna as if it were part of his own family. This causes Gladion's sync stone to shine, startling him. The two masked people are delighted, noting that Gladion has formed a sync pair with Magearna. Gladion is confused, causing Lusamine to apologize. She walks over to explain this was all a test for Gladion to admit how he really felt about Magearna. The guests remove their masks and the Lady smiles. Gladion calls Lusamine's actions "low," but appears to be far from upset.
Later by the fountain, Gladion explains to Colress what happened with Magearna, telling him that he can't give it to him. Gladion instead offers to let him visit Magearna, and Colress is pleased. Watching from close by, Lillie asks Lusamine if she had always intended for Gladion to be Magearna's Trainer. Lusamine answers ambiguously, but she smiles at Gladion as he stands with Magearna.

 	Hmmm... Magearna, huh...
Lillie 	Apparently, Magearna is a Pokémon that was constructed over 500 years ago...It was supposedly presented to a royal family at the time.
Lusamine	Magearna is quite rare, so some miscreants might try to come after it.
Gladion 	No matter who gets in our way, I'll protect Magearna...

Lillie 	Magearna...?
Gladion 	Isn't that a Mythical Pokémon that was constructed by humans over 500 years ago?
Lusamine 	Yes, it is. Someone had it delivered to an antique shop in Alola...But there must've been some sort of mix-up, as it's unclear who it was meant for and who sent it. The Aether Foundation is currently looking after it.
Gladion 	So...we need to find whoever this Magearna was meant for?
Lusamine 	Exactly. Since so many people have gathered on Pasio from many different places...I think we'll have a higher chance of finding a clue here that could lead us to that person.
Gladion 	OK. You can count on us.Let's go, Lillie.
Lillie 	OK, Gladion!

(Colress approaches Gladion and Lillie) 	(Colress approaches Gladion and Lillie)
Lillie 	Colress?!
Colress 	Magearna—the mechanized Artificial Pokémon!This is the first time I've ever seen the real thing! How fascinating!Please, let me study it—for science!
Gladion 	Study it..?
Colress 	Indeed! Some say Magearna understands human language!If I research that ability, perhaps we humans could discover a way to talk to Pokémon!Which would, in turn, allow us to draw out even more of the potential of Poké—
Gladion 	Get lost.I won't let you lay a single finger on Magearna.
Colress 	Oh, that's an awfully blunt response. May I ask why?
Gladion 	If you don't get why, I'm not gonna waste my breath explaining it.If you really want Magearna, you'll have to take it from me by force.

Lusamine 	Allow me to explain.This Pokémon, Magearna, is under the temporary custody of the Aether Foundation.Right now, we're searching for its true Trainer...As such, we can't assist you with your research.
Colress 	Oh, is that so? What a shame!Well then, if you are unable to find its Trainer...then please allow me to take custody of it!Do excuse me, I'll be on my way now!

Gladion 	...Yeah.Cosmog and Silvally were treated terribly when they were used for research at the Aether Foundation...
(Lusamine watches him silently) 	(Lusamine watches him silently)
Gladion 	We can't let that happen again.That's why Colress's attitude made me see red... He only sees Pokémon as research subjects.
Lusamine 	... ... ...
Gladion 	I was there for Silvally, and Cosmog had Lillie.But at this rate, Magearna's gonna be all on its own.That's why I want to help deliver it...to the Trainer who's supposed to be its true family.
Lusamine 	Hmhm...It's sad to be separated from family.But sometimes circumstances make it unavoidable.I'm sure you understand.
(Gladion stares at the ground) 	(Gladion stares at the ground)
Lusamine 	Furthermore, considering Magearna is such a rare Pokémon...Some people might lie about being its rightful Trainer or try to take it by force...If that happens, it's important to have someone who will stay by its side and protect it...Entrusting an unclaimed Pokémon into a Trainer's care is something the foundation can arrange.
(Gladion is silent) 	(Gladion is silent)
Lillie 	From what I can tell, Magearna seems to trust Gladion.Maybe he could be Magearna's—
Gladion 	No.I know how terrible it feels to be separated from family, which is why I know I can't replace that.But...we can't just trust any old stranger with it, either...Which is why Magearna should be reunited with its real family.Let's go, Magearna.

Gladion 	No, I'm just taking care of it for now.
