Gotta say. What better way is there to come back after a chillingly long hiatus/pause, than to do so with a bang? I'm hitting the big ones first. The tougher to shell out. I SWEAR. That wasn't a Kylie Jenner joke. If 😄 I still have a serious enough push for detail. If you're NOT Kylie Jenner or at least THAT Kylie Jenner .. and you don't get it, then search the name and type egg right after. Use the word shell, maybe. Google got really good as of late. So. Yeah. 😆 😌 🤔 🧐 Those literal rips in the middle of the air that drove much of the Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon story. What they are, how/why they're important and most importantly....why they LOOK the way they do.
At a somewhat early point in the Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon story progression, the trainer/player manages to catch a small glimpse of what is detailed as a "crack" in the sky.
These things are littered throughout and well fitted to use in the games, but the science of how they work isn't that well detailed. For that reason, imma shed some light on the subject. As much as I can. Category by category.
[Theory/Science]
When referring to openings in space, there are 3 types in common scientific theory (1). Black holes (2). White holes and (3). Worm holes
We'll be taking these in order. When we get to number 3, you might be able to guess why.

We'll be taking these in order. When we get to number 3, you might be able to guess why.
(1). Black holes
Anyone who's been anyone for long enough and had enough time in science class, watched and/or read enough comic book stuff, or at least been knocking around the internet enough, would've heard or seen the term black hole at least once. If you don't know what a Black Hole is, then .. wow! The order for the numbering here doesn't only work in terms of simple to wacko/complex, but also from well known to what're you talking about. The black hole should be the most commonly known of the 3. Seriously. Black hole talk has been ALL over the place. Much like the "crack" in the sky that our trainer comes across there, a black hole is also theorized/considered to be a split or opening in space/the space time continuum, by which light enters. Get this, though. Light enters, but none escapes. As a result, there is only a small fraction of the space (around the region of the black hole itself) by which light can be seen. That noticeably bright space is called the event horizon and (much like that little bit of river left before the plunge of the waterfall) is the last bit of space before the light gets dragged down beneath and out of sight. As such is the name, this very hole (within space/time itself) is pitch black. Nothing to see there. Black holes don't leave they tug and devour routine to just light, but also anything that may give off light/matter. Any physical thing in the way is dragged by a black hole. Theories say that a black hole exists at the center of every galaxy. Even ours. You can call black holes the bad guys of these 3 types. Much like the greedy Ultra Beast Guzzlord, Black Holes tend to devour everything in sight.
It's really just a cycle though.
(2). White Holes
With Black Holes explained/detailed, it gets easier to explain what a white hole is (since a White Hole is literally the other side of a Black Hole/the other side of the same coin). Unlike the Black hole, a white hole pushes out light and matter from it's center. With all this in fact, the White Hole is considered to be the means by which some galaxies are created. The good guys in this constant cosmic cycle, right? Now. The in and out concept. This cycle seems complete, right? Well. It is. I know. I haven't typed about worm holes yet. So you just may be wondering how Worm Holes fit into this. This is where it gets interesting.
(3). Worm Holes
Okay. So Black Holes take in stuff and White Holes push out stuff. What makes Worm Holes unique from the first 2/Black Holes and White Holes is that they do both (taking in and pushing out). When detailing White Holes, I mentioned that they are the other side of a black Hole, thus making a Black Hole and a White Hole 2 sides of the same coin. You might be asking yourself. Doesn't that make the Black hole and the White Hole one big Worm Hole? Well. That answer is both Yes and No. I'll explain. What the hole is called depends on what you're able to see/experience on your side. A worm hole is considered a Worm Hole when it can do both taking in and pushing out of light and/or matter on the same side as you/you can visibly see it doing both actions. I'll explain what I mean by side. When a Black Hole drags material and light down, from your point of view and you can no longer see them, they're then pushed to the other side of the coin/out from a White Hole. ((So the Black Hole experience would be Side A)) and ((the White Hole Experience would be Side B)). 2 sides of the coin experiencing different things. The same material, but taken from one side to the other.
A Worm Hole transports matter from one point to the other on the same side/from point 1 to point 2 on Side A/B/C/whatever your side is called ((while a Black Hole HAS to be pulling stuff *to* another side and a White Hole HAS to be pushing stuff *from* another side)).
Another thing that makes Worm Holes unique is the fact that they target for transport doesn't have to be light and/or matter. It can be radio waves.... Anything much. Once it is getting from point A to point B via the wormhole and on the same visible side/dimension.
Note - The singularity detailed in this diagram would be the wormhole point.
* [Ultra] Worm Holes:
I've detailed the different kinds of space holes here and what makes each of them unique (in a sense). They all have different names, but the notes I provide here lead to the fact that they are all part of one singular system. One big Worm Hole having the different parts of it be called different things. Everything (and I really mean EVERYTHING) comes down to perception. Perception makes all the difference. What you MANAGE to see is just that .. what YOU manage to see.. This/seeing never ever definitely means that it's the complete/whole being experienced, but rather (maybe) just a part of it. The Black Hole you see, is the start of a White Hole, which (altogether) makes a Worm Hole.
Now! Worm Holes/cosmic portals have 2 sides acting as one. We've covered those 2 sides... Yada yada.. Bla bla bla!! One side for pull/Black Holes and one side for push/White Holes.
What about the word ultra? I know. Give me a break. 😅 Patience. 😌 The Worm Hole itself has multiple parts, but what if the very space it was on could also be divided into multiple parts. Multiple spaces that act differently from each other, but are all part of a single system (of spaces).
In normal/common space, a Worm Hole would merely take you from one point of that space, to another point of that (same) space. What if, though .. there existed a passage/road that could link to all other versions of space/dimensions, simultaneously... This passage/road is... [Ultra space]
Think of (ALL) space as a cake with multiple layers .. and let's imagine that anything within these (individual) layers is made either unable to interact with another layer or (at least) the inter layer interactions are made very difficult to perform.
Now. Imagine something or someone taking a straw and stabbing through all of the layers of the cake. The straw is not only being stabbed through the layers of the cake, but has countless holes on it. This straw would represent [Ultra] space/a means of passage through all the possible layers of the cake/space & time itself and the countless holes on this straw would represent the countless [Ultra] Worm Holes (formed within [Ultra] space). You could imagine diving through this straw and jumping out (through it's holes) into whatever layer of the cake you please.
The word Ultra refers to anything which has been deemed a better or even the best version of another. Being that these Worm Holes are a part of [Ultra] space (which isn't limited to any one space), they will indeed be deserving of the name [Ultra] Worm Hole.
* Just what IS an [Ultra] Wormhole!?
Now that I've brushed on all the parts of a working space hole and what makes them unique, including the basics of space and [Ultra] space (respectively), I think that I can (finally) define EXACTLY what an, [Ultra] Worm Hole is.
When defining the basics of [Ultra] space and [Ultra] Worm Holes, I used a layered cake as an example for different versions of space. All these (different) versions of space would have different frequencies/energy values/channels to them. Yeah. Like switching channels on a television. You may be going "AH! I see what you did there. The new Nintendo system is called the Nintendo SWITCH..
NIIIICE!!" Nah. It wasn't the intention, but it FITS! Just what do you think the motive behind them calling it the Nintendo Switch is, though? Obviously other than the switch from mobile to dock mode, of course. I'd maybe make a post about that... They're deeper meanings in there. Back to this [Ultra] Worm Hole stuff, though. Let's say that these layers of the cake all had different colors. In relation to space, those colors would represent the different frequencies that they/the cake layers/the different versions of space all have. A normal Worm Hole is a breach in the very frequency of it's space, which would then allow the object travelling through it to bypass the natural means of travel through that space and time (such as getting from one point to another instantly/waaaaaay faster than they would without the Worm Hole/normal travel). What would make the [Ultra] Worm Hole well...ULTRA is the fact that you won't just be breaching and traversing the frequency/channel of one version of space/dimension, but rather the frequency of ALL versions of space/dimensions. A normal Worm Hole is like having access to one Tv station satellite, while an [Ultra] Worm Hole is like having access to ALL of them at once. It's a breach/bypass that could lead to literally anywhere. The possibilities become almost endless. Quite awesome!

[Conclusion]:
So. Yeah. That's it. That's the deepest I can go with the definition here... Well. The deepest I can go without getting university class complicated. 😅 What does this possibly mean for the future of Pokémon, though? LOTS!
Lotsa fans had ideas for a game that manages to fuse the regions and tales of all the major Pokémon Generations into one. With the inclusion of this Ultra Space theorem, travel through all the dimensions of Pokémon's history could not only be a possibility in a future release, but definitely that and LOTS more.
With this being the case....and given the fact that We've seen Cyrus (from Pokémon Diamond/Pearl) in Pokémon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.. guiding his OWN trans dimensional tech, just how pumped are you for Pokémon's generation 8 and the upcoming Pokémon Diamond/Pearl remakes?
I mean. Let's face it. If Rotom being a whole Pokedex isn't enough a nod at Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Sinnoh, then I don't know what is.

A whole post about that to come. Until next. To the entire Mk907 crew. Peace!
