[It's not every day that two Pokemon Professors got to collaborate on anything scientific. Even less often they did so to investigate the portal anomalies. Kukui went into this wondering if this is related to the ultra wormholes from home, only to be both disappointed and relieved.

During the tiring and emotionally draining search, the professors found and brought home a peculiar hat. All of his Pokemon could see it, but treated it as if it couldn't be interacted with. Incineroar in particular was holding the hat, but acted like it wasn't really there, thus seemed confused about what to do with it, despite knowing what hats are for.]
