“Ha ha ha, Gladion was super excited for a little sister… He talked about showing her everything! Toys, food, linens, pictures, furniture, plants, trash cans, even our phones- anything Gladion had access to, he would touch and declare, “I’m going to show her this.” This was a daily thing. Lusamine and I played along of course, we figured if he wanted to act like a mentor to her then we wouldn’t stop him.”

“One time he- ha ha, Gladion even told me that I ‘wasn’t allowed to talk to her’ because he was going to show her how to groom Pokemon all nice-nice!”

“hh…her…collec…? that… dOesn’T mm-make…”

“…!”

“Stratos4 is the International Police’s code for the meteor shower event with the largest single instance of Ultra Wormhole activity… well, up until more recently. From what you told me, Professor- that was the night before you were to return to Alola from Sinnoh. A meteorite had hit Mount Coronet and you went to investigate.”

“Mmhmm. Of course I would.”

“The Infinity Emanation from the meteorite opened an Ultra Wormhole and a Pokemon they called Adhesive came out. You had tried to interact with it, but a nearby International Police agent had come by and interfered. Ultimately… they attacked and destroyed the UB-01.”
