It's time for Pokémon Crisis Sun, the Alolan Adventures of Crisis and, for some reason, her dad! The two of them and Lillie have just arrived on Poni Island in search of the Island Kahuna. Hapu told them to meet her at the ruins, but before they could follow her Hapu's grandmother approached them.
"Are you three friends with my girl?" Gran inquired.
"Something like that," Crisis replied.
"That's a girl?" her dad remarked.
Crisis elbowed him in the gut.
Gran chuckled. "So she has friends now! Traveling around the world… making new friends… You kids are luckier than you know."
A Machamp approached them, making Machamp noises.
"If you want to head for the Poni Island Ruins, how about a little help from old gran?" Gran continued. She held out her hand. "Here. Hand over your Ride Pager a moment"
Crisis handed over the Ride Pager
"Wait, you can ride Machamps?" Dad noted. "How does that work?"
Crisis shrugged. "Well, it's gotta be, like, on the shoulders or something, right?"
Gran returned the Ride Pager and Crisis activated it. In a flash of light, Crisis was cradled in Machamp's lower pair of arms.
Gran continued her explaination. "You'll need to move some big obstacles to make it down the…" Crisis spaced out after that, staring transfixed at the Machamp carrying her. The Machamp looked back down at her and grinned. Crisis blushed.
"AND I-EEE-YAI-EEE-YAI… WILL ALWAYS… LOVE YOU-OOO-OOO!" Dad suddenly belted out.
"OH MY GOD, DAD! SHUT UP!" Crisis shouted, flailing wildly in the Machamp's arms.
"Thank you very much, Ma'am!" Lillie said as she bowed respectfully to Gran. "You've been a great help!" In her head, she thought, "I wish my mom was more like Crisis' Dad…"
"I SWEAR TO GOD, I WILL BEAT YOU WITH A SHOE!" Crisis shouted.
"C'mon, you wouldn't hit an old man, would ya?" dad chortled.
