Prologue

The sun beamed with radiance,as the soft breeze gave serenity to Akala island. The port rocked to the chirping of Wingull sitting on the arriving fairy, The S.S Magikarp. Although the day was new and the waves sang delicate songs, the tone was tense. He was tense. This was ridiculous. How could she leave for that pathetic plastic Pokédex? It wasn't like filling that thing was important, what difference would it make if it was filled or not? Besides she was The First Champion of Alola, she had more important responsibilities to worry about. Gladion wasn't wrong, but he was certainly avoiding his desires. Yes he was being logical, for abandoning her priorities was rather foolish, but she was also leaving him. He had to stop her, he had to tell her something anything, so long as it would get her to stay. His feet moved against the rugged wooden boards, in the hopes of reaching her.

"LUNA!"

Her short inky black hair curved around her neck framing heart shaped face , allowing her to feel the cool breeze of air. Her sea blue eyes gazed at him raising an eyebrow.

"Gladion?"

She was puzzled, why would grab her in such a boy was practically sweating, his breathing was heavy, his cheeks were flushed, and his hands were now resting on his knees hardly able to look her in the eyes. It's not like he ever could anyway.

"Wait, Please wait."

" What's the matter did your forget to say something you couldn't say at the farewell party?"

In her previous experience with Gladion he was never truly able to express his personal thoughts and emotions in the presence of so many people.

" I need to tell you something."

" Breath Gladion I still have time I actually would like you to be the person to see me off."

Her brashness has gotten the best of her, and this strange found forward nature has taken her in his presence. Immediately she pulled her gaze away from Gladion to her white sandals. Finally, he had gotten himself together he stood firm, his eyes stiff and focused, prepared to finally speak his mind. Then a voice that struck like doom, and an ironically light hearted voice at that.

" Damn, Gladion I never seen you run so fast it was almost like you were a rapdaish!"

"Nice job Edgar Allen Poe."

He grumbled for a moment,'Fucking Pineapple head!' One could only thank Arceus that words stayed in his head.

"Oh Hau I am glad you came to see me off as well."

Just then at the speed of light, blond hair flew across the wooden port.

"WAIT!"

" Lillie you too now the whole gang is here."

"I know right, isn't that just amazing!"

Like a clap of thunder Lillie's hand struck true, to the back of Hau's head.

"Seriously, you couldn't give them some level of privacy. It's just rude you know."

"Thanks for trying Lillie."

He sighed his head now hanging low.

"I'm sorry, I should've ran faster."

"Oh.. umm. I'm sorry man I didn't know."

"Had you cleaned the Beedrill wax out of your ears, there wouldn't be a need to apologize."

"Oh I thought we were having our last moment together as group."

"Last moment?"

Lillie's spat of anger quickly faded as she was more perplexed by her friend's words. Gladion slapped his hand on his face in shame. She would never understand would she. Of course, he would never tell her.

Well yes our last moment since I won't see you guys until i fill the pokedex."

"I still don't understand why you want to fill that talking piece of stupid crap. It's not even going to help you out when you're in danger from a Pokémon . It'll just help you take unsettling photos of them, when they're not looking like a creep. "

"Well Gladion for one Rotomdex isn't stupid or crap. He's my friend. I also have obligation to complete the pokedex when I accepted my first starter Pokémon from Professor Kuikui. I also don't want to stay in Alola forever I want to see the world."

He thought about her words, would it be fair to do this, to hold her back for the selfish desire of wanting her to stay?

"At least allow me to come with you."

He practically choked to push those words out, but at least that would enough. However he could not hide the lightly tinted rose bush that danced across his face.

She was certainly no different taken aback by his bold words, her face could only do the same.

"Gladion I would love it if you would come with me, but you have the Aether Foundation to run since your mother isn't able to. I don't think it would be wise to leave Fabe to be the president, you are the best choice for it. Also I must do this one alone Gladion but this isn't for forever we will see one another again."

She was right. Damn it, why did she have to be?

"Fine."

His head hung low once more, despite all his efforts he had failed to fulfill his one desired wish.

"But please keep in touch, I'll call you everyday okay."

Lillie understanding her brother's small sacrifice smiled, for at least he could have this moment with her, even Hau ruined the first half, he still had this.

"I'll be fine I'll bring back souvenir and take lot of pictures with Rotom."

"At least that thing will be useful in some degree."

She let out a small laugh,

" I glad you're satisfied with Rotom being useful."

"I think someone's a little jealous of Rotom."

Lillie place her hand on her hip peering at her brother with a playful grin to match her voice.

The two rivals went as red had Charizard's flamethrower.

"I'm not okay,she just needs to be safe, and that thing wouldn't even come close to protecting her!"

His sister was winning this childish war, and she was certainly going to proclaim her victory.

"And I guess you want that to be you?"

Her voiced hummed, Gladion had no words, she had done it.

" I think you're forgetting who's the damsel in distress in this relationship Gladion."

"Ooooooooh drop the mic!"

"Don't rub it in Hau it's rude."

"Please don't hurt me again."

Hau took a few steps back, hiding behind Luna.

"But still that was rather clever."

The delicate Lillie gave a sweet smile.

Gladion could only sigh.

"I am going to miss you guys I'll come back to Alola though I promise."

"Make sure to always write to us me and Gladion will keep the seat warm for you. No one will take the title of champion, while we are around."

"Yes, because you're so unstoppable Hau."

Lillie smiled in a sly manner.

Luna laughed

"Oh come on Gladion he's worthy trainer I had to battle for the title after all."

"But who's the champion again?"

"M….me."

"Don't be shy you've earned it."

Lillie giggled, and Hau chimed in.

"Yeah don't be so modest!"

He nudged Luna slightly.

She gave a bashful smile back.

Gladion gave a slight grumble, why was he so touchy with her?

"Oh you don't need to but between you two I think your both worthy of the title."

Gladion allowed that rose bush, just a bit, on his features. She was far too sweet.

"Are you sure you want to go alone?"

"Yes I am. When I come back i expect you to be Kahuna."

"You better believe it man, right before you come back and marry Gladion!"

Now Lillie would smack him, but for now she silently fist pumped in the glory of brother's blush and silence. How she love the sweet taste of victory.

Luna face erupted like camerupt before she fell over.

Gladion's instinct forced past his embracement in a successful attempt to catch the young lady.

"Crap Hua look what you did!"

"Me, your sister was cheering me on in the corner!"

"Shush you, are you alright?"

Gladion laid her down gently trying to keep the panic from his face, as Lillie rushed in an attempt to aid her.

"Y….yeah I am fine. Perfectly alright."

Luna shuttered as she couldn't wrap her mind around marrying Gladion.

"Dang, was marrying him really that much of a turn off, but then again I wouldn't want to marry him either."

"Hau, not the right time for this you'll make the ship crash, and so help me if you do that I have nothing!"

Gladion looked at his sister confused. It was almost like she was waging for something to happen.

"Why exactly would you have nothing?"

"Don't worry about Gladion, we have to worry about Luna."

She smiled knowing that for Luna's sake he would allow it to slip his mind.

"Ugh, no it's not that it's just I'm too young to think about marriage."

Luna twiddled her thumbs as she stood up.

"Relax it was a joke, no worries."

"Hau I think your, "joke," crosses a line when someone faints!"

"Correction only when Luna faints right?"

"Really Hau really?"

Lillie's pretty smile was now replaced with a slight annoyance.

Suddenly the fog horn boomed throughout the docks

"Well it looks like I got to go. Lillie I hope your mom gets better. Hau stay as you are I think Gladion will need you to cheer him up? Gladion learn how smile more often so when I come back I can see you smiling."

She told them giving them each a tight hug though she lingered with Gladion.

"I'll miss you the most and take care of my pokemon."

She whispered softly in his ear handing them five of her Pokemon.

Gladion was entirely frozen mesmerized but the moment.

"So uh Luna you sure about that whole marriage thing?"

"Hua it's easier to say, 'See you later,' then make her laugh."

"What I will miss her Lillie, she'll be missing out on my spicy sense of humor."

Lillie gave up. It was just his way of saying goodbye.

"Make sure you call me alright, I don't really like saying goodbyes so instead I'll see you later okay."

Lillie tried to blink to hold her tears back.

"Aww Lillie don't cry it isn't forever I'll come back promise. After all I need to save Gladion from Hau since he probably driving him insane."

"The amount of jokes you've made in one hour must be an all time high for you."

Gladion's face was filled with irritation.

"Thanks Gladion, but it isn't, I could do worse. You should probably go talk to your future wife now."

"Wait what?"

Hau's banter finally getting the best of him Gladion fumbled forward barely dodging a near collision with Luna.

Luna squeaked stepping out of the way the best she could.

"Sorry I uh…"

He was at a loss for words, had she heard what Hau said, did she realize what her own actions did to him, but he had to say something. Yes he wasn't able to achieve his goal, but at least say what he needed to say. However, he couldn't bring himself to say such words, not in front of all of them. He could at least leave her with this.

"Be careful, alright."

He darted his gaze to anywhere but her face, while he stood firm in hopes, that she wouldn't catch the cherries they danced upon his face.

Luna smiled and brought him into her arms for one last hug.

"Don't worry my Dasmle."

She then ran up boarding the S.S Magikarp fairy rushing to the balcony.

"Wait what did you just call me?"

He was pleased to share such a moment, but his pride was immediately ripped by the nickname.

Luna laughed waving at them as her Koko her Gengar came out her shadow started waving as well. Soon the S.S Magikarp fairy embarked on its journey to a different region. Gladion waved slightly placing his hand on his face unable to look directly at the ship that was taking her away.
