==Plot==
 and are caught in a space-time distortion on Pasio, surrounded by aggressive wild Pokémon. Akari's Pokémon have been knocked out, though Rei's is still standing. Akari sees something sparkling, so she asks Rei to cover her while she runs and retrieves it. She thinks it looks a bit strange, but she grabs it and throws it at a that appeared in the distortion.
Akari and Rei manage to make it out of the distortion, and they wonder where they are, since it does not seem to be Hisui. They hear other voices nearby, and are shocked to discover that they belong to and , two people who look just like them. Lucas and Dawn are equally shocked, but they quickly guess that these are Rei and Akari, the people and told them about when they met. Akari and Rei are confused, so Lucas and Dawn introduce themselves and explain that they are from Sinnoh, and Rei and Akari have ended up in the future. Rei suspects that they were brought here by the space-time distortion, and he says it is a familiar feeling. However, he notes to himself that he has not forgotten about the people he met in Hisui. Dawn suggests that they go find Adaman and Irida, which Akari and Rei are happy to do. 
When they arrive in town, Akari marvels at all the huge, sparkly, clean buildings and the fact that people and Pokémon live together like it is normal. Rei says that it feels kinda familiar, even though it is the future, and Akari wonders if it is the world Rei originally came from. At Dawn's request, Rei explains that he is not originally from Hisui but rather was sent there by a space-time rift, and Lucas remembers Adaman and Irida mentioning someone like that. Dawn asks if it has come full circle and now Rei is back in his original world, but Rei says that while he does not remember clearly, he thinks this world feels a little different than the world he came from originally. Rei says that he's happy to be part of the Galaxy Team's Survey Corps, and Akari comments that the Galaxy Team is composed of people from all different regions coming together to work in harmony, just like on Pasio. Dawn says that's completely different from the Team Galactic they know, and Lucas says it would have been nice if they had not changed. 
 calls out to the group, and Rei turns around to greet him, only to be surprised by the appearance of . Adaman appears alongside , and Rei asks what they are doing with Giratina. Adaman says it is someone's partner Pokémon, prompting to walk out from behind it and greet Rei and Akari, noting their resemblance to Lucas and Dawn. Rei is surprised again, and he comments that Cynthia looks like . Adaman knows who Rei is referring to, and he is ecstatic that he got to see Rei and Akari's shocked reactions. Cynthia formally introduces herself as a researcher of myths, and Irida explains that Cynthia wants to hear stories about the Hisui region. She says that Cynthia also has interesting stories to share, and she starts to introduce Giratina to them, but Rei already knows its name—he has seen it before. Irida says that she was shocked when she learned that Giratina is a Pokémon that can go toe-to-toe with and , which shocks Akari too. Adaman also mentions that there are s on Pasio who have formed sync pairs with Dialga and Palkia, including Lucas. Irida explains what a sync pair is, and Adaman explains that they have formed sync pairs with their Pokémon—including placing them in Poké Balls—so they can learn more about how Pokémon and people coexist. Rei is surprised by this, but he decides that he will follow their lead and work hard as a sync pair. Akari agrees, since she wants to become a worthy opponent for Rei. Cynthia says she would appreciate it if Rei and Akari would help her with her research into space-time distortions and rifts, which Rei and Akari are happy to help with. 
A few days later, Dawn and are training with Rei on the beach, and Dawn is impressed with how quickly he has gotten used to Pasio. Rei says that part of him still remembers being a Trainer in the world he is originally from, so that makes using modern Poké Balls and being a sync pair easy for him. Barry comments that it must be tough being sent to different worlds over and over again, and Rei says it is a little confusing, but no matter what world he is in, people and Pokémon live together, and everyone helps him out. So, he is going to return the favor and help everyone else to the best of his ability. 
Meanwhile, Lucas and Akari are training in the forest. Akari tries using her sync move with her , but it does not work. Lucas says that sync stones do not work well with s from Hisui, but Akari says her Pokémon are scared of modern Poké Balls. Lucas theorizes that since a Poké Ball is meant to be like a home for a Pokémon, Akari's Pokémon are comfortable in the Poké Balls she made and do not want to leave them. Akari says her Pokémon are also confused by Pasio because it is so different from Hisui, and she worries that she will never be able to take her first step as a sync pair. She thinks about the fact that Adaman, Irida, and Rei's Pokémon have all adapted to Pasio quickly and wonders if she is doing something wrong. Lucas assures her that she is not doing anything wrong, that different Pokémon adjust at different rates, and there is no need for her to rush. However, Akari is frustrated that she said she would become a worthy opponent for Rei, but he has surpassed her yet again. Lucas says he gets it—he was a mentor to Dawn and taught her a lot, but she quickly got better at Pokémon battling than him. He says they need to keep trying their best to get stronger and show Rei and Dawn what they can do. Lucas does not want to push her Pokémon too hard, though, so he suggests that she try to form a sync pair with a new Pokémon while hers are still getting used to the new environment. Akari realizes that she has a new Pokémon that she caught in a Pasio Poké Ball, and she sends out the Hisuian Samurott that she caught in the space-time distortion.
Later, Lucas, Akari, and Irida have a battle against Dawn, Rei, and Adaman in the Pasio arena, while Barry and Cynthia watch. Adaman, Irida, and Rei are surprised when Akari sends out Samurott, since they have never seen her battle alongside it before. Lucas says that Akari and Samurott have been growing fast as a sync pair, and Akari says that it was only thanks to Lucas's help. Then she tells Rei that even in this new land, she is still aiming to become a worthy opponent for him, and Rei tells her to show him how strong she has gotten. Lucas tells Dawn that he feels the same way as Akari, and everyone sends out their Pokémon and prepares to battle.
A few days later, Cynthia and Rei are investigating Pasio's ruins when Rei notices something sparkling on the ground. Cynthia says she has never seen anything like it before, and notes that it has a similar shine to a sync stone. She comments that Giratina has been interested in this area for a while and wonders if a special power lurks here. Rei says that this place looks really similar to ruins he saw in Hisui, and Giratina reacts to something. Rei takes a defensive posture like he is expecting something to emerge from the ruins, but nothing appears. Rei apologizes and tells Cynthia it is nothing, but privately he wonders if it is possible. As Cynthia and Rei leave the ruins, runs along the ground behind a pillar...
