The next day, Elio awoke to a Genesect that chuckled himself awake. "Mmm morning! Your feeling better?"

The Genesect stared in silence and answered. "Good news, I can dream! I am still not sure if I actually feel better."

Elio petted the Genesect. "Care to tell me what it is about?"

The Genesect answered with a stare. "Nothing much, is that Mew around?"

The Mew woke up to the question and wiggled his way out of a sleeping Lillie's arms. The Genesect and Mew talked to each other a little, before the Mew shared Elio a small vision. He saw a hunter going after a great beast in the vast sea.

As it ended, Elio flinched at recognizing the leviathan. "It ended when you went after Kyogre... you actually managed to hurt it. Problem is Kyogre is a very powerful Legendary pokemon. It looked a little different from the books though."

Dex woke up and buzzed a picture. "BZZT! Does it look anything like this? BZZT!"

Elio saw the picture of the creature. It looked much like Kyogre except its red highlights were replaced and it had a transparent, yellow glow. "Yes! That!"

The Dex grinned at the answer. "BZZT! Primal Kyogre... what it looked like eons ago! BZZT!"

Elio swallowed at the information. "Kyogre at more power! Blattron... you thought it was a good idea to go after this?"

The Genesect cackled so loud that he startled Lillie awake. "Of course! Everything else I had hunted at least once! But that... would have been the hunt to end hunts!"

Elio gave a frown that wanted to lecture the Genesect. "Obviously! How did the dream even end?"

Lillie was startled again by a loud cackle that answered. "I took a good swipe, then I saw blue lights! I remembered getting another good hit on it before it ended!"

Rotom Dex blurted what the move was. "BZZT! Origin pulse! BZZT!"

Elio glared at both. "A signature move of a legendary pokemon. Are you telling me that didn't even hurt?"

The Genesect sat down on the floor as the thought of it. "Oddly enough... it was only a sting. That was when the dream ended!"

Lillie heard the story and was worried for the Genesect's life. "I think that is how you... died?"

The Genesect shrugged at the answer. "Look's like it! Anyways... I take you two are going somewhere I am not needed. See ya."

As the Genesect retreats back into his ball, the two trainers stared at each other in worry.

Lillie spoke first. "I am worried about what will happen if he is in a serious battle. If he rushes to a pokemon beyond his power... he is just going to get himself killed!"

Elio agreed. "Bad enough that he wanted to hunt Ultra Beast right when we captured him. If he tries that on a Celesteela... he is just going to fry. The only thing he actually wants to do is battle without much regard to who."

Lillie stared at the net ball trying to think of what to do for the Genesect. "He needs to learn that if he gets into a fight with everyone, he is only going to get hurt."

Elio sighed. "Only way for someone like him to actually learn that is if he gets beaten in battle. He already knows fire type moves are bad for him... so if he see's a pokemon with that type of move, he will find out very quickly."

Lillie frowned more. "What pokemon would he not expect..." She thought of something and got up to head toward the P.C to switch her Volcarona out for her Raichu. As she came back to the room she sent out her Raichu who was yawning a good morning and realized her trainer was not in a good mood. "Do we really need to do this, because this seems cruel?"

Elio frowned back. "Shockums was one of the first pokemon he seen in this world and he didn't even try to fight her. It would work...but do we really want to do this? Because I don't." The two thought it for ten minutes before they shook their heads. Elio groaned as he got himself up to prepare for the day.

A couple minutes later the duo were out of the pokemon center and prepared for the short battle. Lillie had her Raichu out, with both being hesitate to actually battle the Genesect.

Elio tossed the net ball out. "BLATTRON! COME ON OUT!"

The Genesect landed in battle as he looked around and crackled. "You have me out here for a battle?"

Elio nodded as he pointed at the Raichu. "She is your opponent!"

The Genesect stared at the smaller pokemon and asked. "That one... what makes it worth a thrill?!"

The Raichu prepared a thunderbolt as Elio gave a stern look. "Only way you are going to find out is by battling! Get a bug buzz ready!"

The Raichu shot a thunderbolt at the Genesect as it let loose a loud buzzing noise back. Both were sent back by the damage, the Genesect laughed at the Raichu. "Ha... that actually hurt!"

Before Elio shouted for a techno blast, Lillie posed for her Raichu to use the move. "GIGAVOLT HAVOC!" As energy surrounded the Raichu, she shot out a massive bolt of electricity at the Genesect, who had enough time to think. "Oh cra..."

In an explosion, the Genesect was knocked out; twitching on the ground.

Both trainers cringed as they approached the Genesect that struggled to get up. Lillie asked. "Are you... okay?"

The Genesect chuckled at the aftermath. "You had me fight that... Shockums, to teach me a lesson?"

Elio struggled to keep his face firm. "Yes. Did you learn anything?"

The duo heard a faint cackle from the Genesect. "That the small ones are still able to put up a fight! But why was that and the big guy's punch able to hurt me... but Kalden biting me didn't. I saw how deep it went!"

Lillie saw the metal exoskeleton and wondered. "I think your cybernetics done something for your nerves, you think it is the electricity going through you hits everywhere in your body?"

Elio snapped his fingers. "That has to be the only way it would cause pain. I am sorry that we had to do this to you, I'll get you back to the poke center for a heal. The next battle should be an actual one instead of this."

He took out the net ball to call back the Genesect before he heard the mutter. "At least I know I am actually alive!"

Elio cringed as he rushed to the pokemon center to heal the Genesect, while Lillie sat down and cried at what she done; the Raichu tried to make her trainer feel better as until both saw Elio come back.

He helped Lillie up and spoke his mind. "Let Blattron be my worry. This should never happen again."

Lillie calmed down as she wiped her eyes. "I hope it doesn't. Should we go to Castelia City next, we need to train Vulca and Tetra up?"

Elio nodded back as they went to the port to begin their next adventure.

As the two enter Castelia City, the duo thought of how they were going to raise the Slugma and Qwilfish for the next Brycen Man film. Lillie saw the map to Icirrus city and whispered. "I am going to start Vulca's training there, do you have a good chance to get that thing done here?"

Elio nodded. "I would. Just go on ahead and I will catch up to you soon enough."

Lillie kissed him on the cheek before she went to a pokemon center to bring out her Pidgeot for a flight trip to Mistralion City, leaving Elio with Rotom Dex to pin point the location of a specific office building. He switched some pokemon out for an semi old team. "Least no one I know has to see this."

In the building Elio grunted as he asked a busy green eyed, red haired receptionist with freckles and her fingers are dancing at a key board. "Excuse me.. I am looking for a Benjamin Sun?"

The receptionist sighed annoyed at the distraction and asked the boy. "Why? Do you have an appointme..."

She saw similarities between the boy and who he was looking for and began to direct him. "Third floor and third cubicle on the right!"

Elio spoke calmly as he saw the name tag. "Thank you miss Candy."

As he took the elevator and followed the directions, he found a man with dark hair and blue eyes; he was busy filing paper work and finished a call. Elio saw the floor itself having less people, despite how busy everyone in the floor were. By the computer screen, he saw an old family photo of his mother, father and himself when he was around the age of three.

The man finished one sheet of paper and began to reach for another when he recognized the boy stand before him. "S...on?! You have grown since I last sa...!"

Elio interrupted and glared. "Cut the crap pops! You didn't even stay on the phone to hear what I did on Alola!"

Benjamin looked down in guilt. "I am sorry, I was busy with a report and I had to keep it short."

The man felt a stare of disappointment as his son continued. "Was that report more important than knowing your kid became Alola's champ?! Screw the excuse, I want to see if your team is even any good!"

Benjamin sighed as he filed for a break. "Is it going to end in less than ten minutes?"

Elio shouted. "If it doesn't even last five minutes then we are going to have problems! Lets take it outside!" Out of the office building, a few people stood by at what looked like a battle.

Vs Office Worker Benjamin

Benjamin sent out a Gallade as Elio shouted. "LOST, LETS KICK SOME BUTT! OPEN UP WITH A SHADOW CLAW!"

The Gallade sneaked behind the Mimikyu to attack from the shadows, ruining her disguise before he was knocked out by a shadow claw.

Benjamin sent out Staraptor, its intimidating presence lowered the Mimikyu's attack and charged like a brave bird for a knock out.

Elio called the knocked out Mimikyu back. "GLADIATOR! MAKE SAMSON PROUD!"

Out came a Lycanroc that was eager for battle as Benjamin shouted. "Okay Talons, use close combat!"

The Lycanroc was beaten down, but held on with a focus sash as Elio shouted. "ROCK POLISH! THEN USE STONE EDGE!" The Lycanroc polished himself and erupted jagged rocks into the Staraptor for a knock out.

Benjamin sent out a Torterra into the field as Elio shouted. "USE REVERSAL TO GET THAT TORTERRA READY FOR LOKI!"

The Lycanroc used his worn out body as he lunged for an attack to send the Torterra flying back. It took its tree and slammed it into the Lycanroc like a wood hammer for a knock out as it landed.

Elio switched the Lycanroc and shouted. "LOKI LETS TAKE THAT TORTERRA OUT!" An icy blue alolan Sandslash emerged and saw her opponent; she breathed intense cold in the air above him. Icicles crashed down at the Torterra for a knock out.

Benjamin looked at the Sandslash and sent out his Golem. "That's a strange Sandslash."

Elio glared. "Yeah it is, Alola has some pokemon that are different from the same species found elsewhere in the world. Shame we never talked about that. LOKI USE IRON HEAD, THEN FOLLOW WITH AN ICICLE CRASH!"

The Golem flinched from the iron head and was left open for an icicle crash knock out. Benjamin sent out a Golduck and shouted out. "I think I get what type this thing is, Mally use focus blast!"

The Golduck shot the blast into the Sandslash for a knock out, leaving Elio to switch another pokemon out. "SURFER LETS TAKE THAT GOLDUCK OUT WITH A THUNDER BOLT!"

The Golduck was quickly knocked out by the Alolan Raichu, leaving Benjamin with his last pokemon. "Tristan, lets try and last long here!"

Elio wasted no time with the Roserade as he shouted. "Use psychic until he goes down!" The Roserade was shot with a psychic blast as he shot out a leaf storm for a knock out.

Elio glared as he sent out his next pokemon. "GUPPY! USE DARKEST LAIRAT AND THIS FIGHT IS OVER!" The Roserade tossed a sludge bomb before he was knocked out by the Incineroar, ending the fight with an angry Elio looking at the office building.

As he healed his pokemon up, he asked his father. "Does your boss have pokemon as well?"

Benjamin froze. "W...why did you ask?"

Elio answered back. "I know he keeps you extremely busy to the point that you cant really be around. But you didn't even visit this year! Mom said it had something to do with him laying off workers and you having to work even harder to keep the money coming. You didn't even try to ask him why he was doing that?!"

Benjamin shivered in fear. "If I do that I would be asking more questions..."

Elio glared back as he helped his father finish. "And you are scared that if you ask, you would have to stand up to him,which may result in you losing your job. I know it is hard these days to keep a full time job. But this is way too much! By the way, mom says hi!"

Elio walked back to the building and the receptionist answered before he asked. "Top floor!"

Elio entered the elevator and ascended to the top of the building, to find a brown haired man in a business suit rapidly calling on phones and working on much more paperwork than even his father was dealing with.

As Elio approached, the man spoke without directly looking at the boy. "Benjamin, what do you want? If it is about a raise, wait until I am done with this report on the poke marts!"

Elio coughed loudly to tell the man actually looked up; he saw a child that looked like one of his employees. "Oh... sorry I mistook you for someone else. You his kid?"

Elio glared. "Yes... why do you work him to the point that he can't even visit his own family least of all talk to them for that long?"

Elio saw the name tag with the word Monty as the man took a deep breath to explain his motives. "An economy shift happened, I had to lay off workers just to keep this company afloat and your father is among my best workers!"

Elio frowned as he drew out a great ball, Monty glared as he finished the next sheet of paper. "Kid... do you even know what I just said? I had to do it to keep this business alive!"

Elio went stoic. "I do... I still kicked that chicken's butt a new one and now I am about to kick yours!"

Monty drew out a pokeball. "What are you... some kind of champ?"

In an blank stare, Elio answered. "Yes!"

Monty grinned as he placed the paper work in a secure desk. "Big mistake kid!"

Vs Market boss Monty

Monty sent out a Nidoking as Elio shouted. "H.P, LETS SHOW HIM WHO IS THE BOSS!"

Out came a Kangaskhan that prepared for her trainer to activate the key stone. "MEGA EVOLVE AND USE FAKE OUT!"

The Kangaskhan duo rushed to the Nidoking and clapped in front of him before he shot a sludge bomb. Elio shouted. "NOW USE EARTHQUAKE!"

In a strong rumble, the Nidoking was knocked back into some file bins knocked out. Monty felt some relief. "And that is why I invested in having this building prepared for that move. Now Dragonite,Come out and show that Kangaskhan who is really the boss!"

The Dragonite was crunched by the Kangaskhan duo as it used dragon dance and used outrage for a knock out on the Kangaskhan.

Elio switched out as he shouted. "LOST, WHILE IT IS STUCK IN THAT MOVE! USE SWORDS DANCE AND FOLLOW WITH PLAY ROUGH!" The Mimikyu took no damage as she danced in vigor and played rough with the Dragonite for a knock out. Monty sent out a Sigilyph and had it use air slash for a flinch. The Mimikyu's disguise was broken and held as she shadow clawed the Sigilyph for a knock out.

Monty grinned. "Okay, you think that thing is a big shot! Talonflame, brave bird!"

The Talonflame flew from its quick ball as it rammed into the Mimikyu for a knock out.

Elio called the Mimikyu back as he shouted. "GLADIATOR LETS DO THIS! ROCK POLISH THEN STONE EDGE, DO NOT STOP!"

The Talonflame struck the Lycanroc with wings of steel; the Lycanroc polished himself and knocked the Talonflame out with stone edge. Monty sent out a Chansey with an eviolite in hope of good luck. Lycanroc jabbed stones as the Chansey spit out a toxic liquid. Another stone edge was used as the Chansey used a softboiled egg to heal herself. Another stone edge critically hit as the Chansey used seismic toss to keep the damage stable.

Elio saw his Lycanroc was about to fall and shouted. "FINISH IT WITH REVERSAL!"

As the Chansey was tossed to a closet for a knock out, Monty called her back and glared. "Gyarados! Lets show that wolf how unruly workers get treated around here!"

The Gyarados barely fit the room as he intimidated the Lycanroc for less damage from stone edge. With a rushing waterfall, the Lycanroc was knocked out.

Elio called him back to his ball and tossed another ball. "SURFER LETS FINISH THIS WITH A THUNDER BOLT!" The Alolan Raichu saw the Gyarados and quickly knocked it out with a thunderbolt, ending the battle and leaving Monty's office in a mess.

As the boss saw his desk still in good condition, he regained his composure and asked. "Okay then... I know Ben would normally come up here himself to talk to me rather than send his kid to do..."

Elio shouted out loud and clear. "I came here on my own terms!"

Monty frowned at what happened and asked. "Your happy that you kicked my butt over this in hope things actually change because of it?"

Elio frowned as he called back the Raichu concerned for his trainer. "No... no I am not! I just want to come here myself to see what was happening and why."

Elio walked back to the elevator to see his father rushing out to find out what happened. As the boy began to descend, Benjamin was startled to see the office a mess and a knocked out Gyarados being called back into his ball.

Monty looked at the worker in question. "Care to explain what this is about?"

Benjamin took a deep breath as he asked. "Remember that one report you had me do over a year ago?"

Monty nodded and smiled. "I know, biggest market shift we had yet"

The worker frowned as he continued. "I had to take a small break to call my wife over the reason why I wasn't able to visit them... I rushed and hanged up before my son went to tell me some big news..."

The boss sighed loudly as he put the picture together. "And he did not take it well when the entire year had been busy! I was more expecting you to ask me for a raise over all the work I put you through."

Benjamin grinned nervously. "I still want to ask you over something... doubt it would change much."

Elio walked out of the office building and growled in disappointment. "When you are thrown into a machine... anyways, I need to switch my guys back around before I go check up on Lillie."

He switched his pokemon until it composed of Golisopod, Incineroar, Sharpedo, Genesect, Qwilfish and Salamence before he flew over to Mistralton City. "If I take my time with raising Tetra, Lillie should be ahead of me enough that I might catch up to see Vulca evolve!"

He landed to see Lana and Guzma glaring at each other over something.

He wanted to find out what was going on and asked. "Alright, what happened?"

Lana did not keep her eye off of Guzma and answered. "On our team or not, he caused Alola all sorts of trouble. He was getting in the way when I was training Palpitoed up."

Guzma looked at the champ as he remembered something that was painful. "And she told me nothing about Stunfisk!"

Elio placed his palm over his face and shouted. "Knock it off you two! We are here to relax, enjoy the sights and prepare. We are not going to go to the top if you are all bickering!"

Lana and Guzma looked away in an attempt to end the fight.

Lana spoke to the Alolan champ. "I saw Lillie going near Dragonspiral tower by herself, anything happened?"

Elio shrugged. "Nothing really. Just something I wanted to handle alone and I want her to have no part in."

Guzma raised an eyebrow as to what when Elio answered the silent. "It isn't much, someone I knew let me down a year ago and I wanted to find out why; called him out on it in the only way I know how. Seriously he could have stayed on the phone for more than... never mind. I already had it taken cared of so none of you have to worry."

Guzma had a basic idea of what happened and changed the subject. "That Larvesta I caught almost a week ago is starting to get stronger, other than that... not much save for finding out about that fish."

Elio nodded. "If you don't want to talk about Stunfisk, don't! Small tip with Larvesta, once it evolves into Volcarona, it becomes a special attacker in place of what was a physical attack. They take even longer to raise than a Dratini to a Dragonite without constant training, so don't worry about its moves until you are sure it is going to evolve."

Guzma shrugged the advice as Lana remembered something important she heard from Lillie. "Your girlfriend said you two caught something recently. What is it?"

Elio grabbed Rotom Dex out of the bag and set up a picture. "I caught a Deerling, unique type of grass and normal. They have a different look depending on the season! Lillie caught a Heatran in case you did not see the video Dex posted... and I am going to get smacked if I say the name of the video."

Lana saw the look in Elio's eyes and noticed deception. "You are hiding something else!"

Elio sighed as he nodded. "At the moment Blattron prefers to be let out mainly for battles. To compensate for not bringing the pokemon out, here is a picture."

Elio brought up the dex entry for the pokemon Genesect. The two trainers read the vague description, but knew an artificial pokemon when they see one. Guzma immediately saw similarities between Genesect and Type:Null and began to glare.

Elio saw the look and spoke. "I want to drop this subject. Blattron is not well at the moment."

Guzma shouted at the top of his lungs. "No shit! What's the next thing someone makes, some angry cat that can mess you up by looking at ya?"

Elio wanted the subject to end as he remembered one entry a man named Oak sent from Kanto. "Dex has an entry for that one as well... and I am not going to show him. He is related to Mew and that is all I am saying in the matter."

The Lana and Guzma realized that they delved into things they were better off unaware of and changed the subject.

Lana gave Elio directions as to what was up ahead. "Past Icirrus city is Opelucid city, a high tech town. Further down is Village bridge; you will know when you get there."

Guzma shrugged. "This region is nothing but bridges!"

Lana nodded as she explained one more area of note. "Four years ago they built an under water tunnel that I want to see more of! What are you trying to raise all the way over here? Changed you mind about your team for the tournament?"

Elio laughed. "No, none of that. Tetra needs to be ready for something coming up."

Lana glared. "It's about that Qwilfish? I don't like the way she looks at me!"

Elio understood where Lana was coming from. "Tetra gets like that when ever something startles her. Problem is everything startles her and she puffs up. Are we going to get along though?"

Both grumbled as they shouted in unison. "Fine!"

Lana went to Chargestone cave, while Guzma wanted to see if he would get a flight to Lentimas town. Elio saw the rainy path ahead and began to go forward to Twist Mountain.
