The next day, Gough woke up early to find the morning brighter than usual, clearly, some one was over doing his role in keeping the light of Alola alive. "I need to hurry! I doubt Solgaleo can keep that up for long!"

He journeyed past Ula'ula meadow and to a rainy walkway that lead to a walled location. Standing guard in front of a doorway was Plumeria, giving a sharp glare at the trial goer. "You ditched the party!"

Gough sighed and held onto a ball. "I seen enough, that Fearow's act was mighty as it looks, but too much has been going on for me to slack! Your guarding this town?"

The skull admin wearing the bandana nodded and had her arms folded. "If you go past this door, your going to beat up my idiot brothers and sisters, trying to get to Guzma!" She straighten her arms and pounded a fist in her hand. "I ain't letting that happen, you want to finish this, you got to get through me!"

She tossed a Alolan Muk out and taunted the man, Gough's scowl shifted to a sinister smile. "Siege, break through this wall!" Out came a Rhydon that sized up the wall when he realized his target was the sludge pokemon. Gough felt himself in a hurry and ordered. "Use swords dance and charge!"

The Rhydon danced in vigor as Plumeria ordered. "Hit it with toxic!" The Muk coughed poisonous liquid and was knocked out by an earthquake slam. Plumeria called the Muk back and sent out a Crobat. "Lets see how long you can keep that up!"

Gough ordered in a bark. "Shoot that Crobat down!" The Rhydon aimed a barrage of rocks, the Crobat flew above and struck. The Rhydon tried again and knocked the foe down, he felt woozy, Plumeria called the Crobat back and sent out a Salazzle.

The Rhydon pounded the ground for an earthquake, the Salazzle protected herself and shot a dragon pulse. Gough saw his pokemon at his last leg and ordered. "Use earthquake once more!"

The Rhydon punched the ground and knocked the Salazzle out coughing and kneeling over from the toxins. The trainers called their pokemon back, Plumeria spat the ground. "I bet you won't be able to do that again! Toxapex, get em!"

A Toxapex entered as Gough sent his next pokemon. "Akra, let us show her this folly!"

Plumeria saw the Zangoose with a toxic orb and snorted in a mock as her eyes squinted. "Bring it on punk! Block with baneful bunker!"

The Toxapex giggled and readied for the attack as the Zangoose held to the orb and felt the poison in his muscles. "NOW FACADE!"

The Zangoose howled and punched the Toxapex in the face as Plumeria ordered. "Hit back with liquidation!"

The Toxapex's left most tentacle flowed like water and mercilessly struck the Zangoose back. Toxapex defended himself with another baneful bunker and felt his defenses struck repeatedly until she felt herself charged into a wall. With two pokemon remaining, Plumeria sent out her next pokemon, a Gengar with a mega stone. She flashed a keystone and smiled maliciously. "You done messed up!"

The Gengar felt the energy flow into his body, it altered her to a more menacing form that is in the shadows, his third yellow eye glared at his victim as the trainer ordered. "Sludge wave!" The Gengar splashed the ground and knocked the Zangoose out. Gough called him back and sent his next pokemon. "Scizor, we do not have time to fool around!"

A Scizor entered the battle with his pincers ready, Plumeria ordered in a protective, adrenaline fueled frenzy. "Hit it with shadow ball!"

The Gengar charged a ball of negative energy from his maw and shot the Scizor back. Gough saw his opening. "Now! Knock off!"

The pincer pokemon charged and swatted the Gengar, exposing him to a finisher as both trainer and pokemon punched in unison, the Gengar saw the speed of a bullet and was punched for a knock out, reverting back to his basic form and laying on the ground injured. Plumeria was at her last stand and switched for a Weezing. "Light the match!"

Gough cringed and ordered with his ball ready. "Retreat with u-turn!" The Scizor jumped on the Weezing and kicked back to his ball, in his place was a Kommo-o that took the flame. Gough ordered in a similar frenzy. "Use clanging scales!"

The Kommo-o rubbed his scales together and struck the Weezing back with sound, Plumeria ordered in feeling uncertain of the ability. "Hit it with sludge bomb and see what happens!"

The Weezing hacked sludge and to the trainers surprise, it damaged the Kommo-o, Gough flashed his Z power ring and posed with many fists. "He is vulnerable to that but not to sound moves, it would be useful in another time! Now, ALL OUT PUMMELING!"

The Kommo-o pummeled the Weezing to where it was heading to a wall, Plumeria got out of the way and was about to bark the next order as a fist punched the Weezing through the door, leaving a massive hole and a Weezing that was knocked out through critical damage. The skull admin was left disappointed in herself. "I tried to block you out and I only let you bust the door open. Damn it!"

Gough had medicines ready as he let the damage pokemon out. "Today is suppose to be a day of battling, where the worlds survival is at stake! If I had time to waste, I would have been going back to get Bone Taker, do you have something to do before the drums roll?"

Plumeria knew a few at the trailer park. "Helping my granny for one, as well as the idiots that are sleeping in, they need to get out of there."

She felt herself in between a rock and a hard place as a familiar police officer listened in. "Get onto the park and start evacuating them. This challenge came at a bad time," Plumeria saw Nanu was just as amused. "Yep! The trial is as simple as it comes, get to Guzma and beat him. They call you Gough, don't waste your time beating up the grunts, that idiot of a champ is giving everyone a wake up call and we need to be at our stations!"

Gough had his Rhydon ready for battle and went to tend to his Zangoose. "I am not one to waist my time when under a time limit. Anything about Guzma I should know?"

Plumeria refused to tell as Nanu asked regarding the Scizor. "He has a Scizor himself and that is your first clue," Gough had the idea and had a particular ball ready. "I fought those types countless times! Fury and Siege will suffice!"

Plumeria doubted it under her cough, prompting the trial goer to look forward to the challenge. "The last two Kahunas gave me a battle worthy of ending a Grand Trial, I expect no less!"

He tended to the minor injuries Scizor and Kommo-o suffered and called them back. "May we fight another day!"

Nanu watched the man go into the town through the hole and sighed. "I'm not sure if I should call anyone he knows or call the relatives of those kids in that town." Plumeria hoped it was the former as she saw the sky darkening.

At the motel on route 13

Lillie adjusted her Z powered form and let Tammy fly off to the Observatory. "Remember what we said, if an Ultra Beast starts being too difficult for you to handle, focus on escaping!"

The Charizard landed as the girl got on, nearly tempted to call Lillie something as she was ready to fly. "I will Professor Lillie, you and Elio have been the best people I met!" Swoop! With wishful hope and a reason to keep smiling, Lillie found her husband had finished a call, the darkening sky and the sign of the sun being drained by a growing darkness gave an ill omen. "That hasn't happened before," Elio agreed and felt his blood going cold. "No... but even compared to yesterday, this is a sign of something big coming. Ilima is at Melemele's school, Kiawe and Lana are helping Olivia and Kahili, Sophocles is managing the Observatory, Molayne and Acerola is giving Malie city a wake up call, Mina is at Poni Island with Hapu. Then there is Hala guarding Iki town, finally, Hau is at Hau'oli while Mallow is keeping the her daughter safe at the evacuation point in the Ruins of Life."

Flicker! Flicker! The duo heard noise from the north west, Lillie feared the worse and was ready to start running, Elio followed. "Of course Eclipse is picking that place! Lillie, your thinking what I'm thinking?"

Lillie had a pager ready. "We need to help my brother, he is in greater danger that we realized!"

She flashed one for Charizard and got on, Elio called his own and smiled in pride at his wife. "We know where Eclipse is, lets end his rampage before it starts!" With husband and wife ready for flight they look at each other in determination and signaled the Charizards to go.

At the Lake of the Sunne.

Gladion was sitting bored at a small collection of sleeping bags and put out a fire. His Silvally sensed something coming, the trainer agreed as he watched Madison having a Skarmory perching above, a Pikachu bracing for the worse and an Emolga that was frozen ready. "Something is coming, Tyranitar, Manaphy, lets go!"

A Tyranitar stomped on the ground as Manaphy blinked to ask. "Where is Solgaleo?"

Madison answered as her device had readings off the chart. "We told him to evacuate this place, though he makes it clear that if Necrozma becomes too much for us, that he is going to assist us. That has got to be a dangerous rescue."

Gladion agreed as he gave Silvally a dark memory. "Silvally and Tyranitar will hit this psychic type as hard as possible, Manaphy will be where that Z move comes in. Madison, you have what is needed to slow him down!"

The Ranger readied her capture stylus as she saw a forming eclipse covering Alola in a darkening sky, a flicker was seen in front of the eclipse, an other wordly cry was heard.

RWYWAAWR!

A wormhole was opening, no, more that it was being torn, two black claws pierced into reality in a rather brutal manner, the light of ultra space shined as the claws stretched and pushed. Gladion gritted his teeth as he had his hand on a keystone, Necrozma opened more of the wormhole and pulled himself out, he roared like he came out of one pain and into another.

Madison saw scratch marks on his claws as Gladion shined his keystone. "Tyranitar mega evolve!"

The Tyranitar glowed, his back plate split in two, he became larger and roared in ferocity, Necrozma's face glowed, the rest of his body radiated in an aura, he scratched all over his body like something was burning under his prism skin and roared in frustration at the Tyranitar.

BOOM!

The ground ruptured from underneath Tyranitar and knocked him into the water, Manaphy whimpered as Gladion ordered with his hands twitching like claws. "Get Tyranitar out of the lake! Silvally use multi attack!"

The Silvally's claws glowed black as the Manaphy waddled to the lake, Madison ordered her Emolga. "Stun it with thunder wave." Necrozma twitched to a crackling speck of light and flew at it, it growled and reached for the charging Emolga.

PEW! Emolga shot the thunder wave and left Necrozma paralyzed, he was exposed to a dark type multi attack and slashed the Emolga with dark claws for a critical knock out back to Madison. Necrozma focused his attention on Silvally as a Genesect flew to the stone ground and shot strange silk around him to leave him vulnerable to another multi attack, Madison saw her chance and shot her capture stylus. "Capture on, ultra mode!"

Necrozma saw a top spin as Gladion had his Silvally ready for attack, the prism pokemon shook in his bindings as he saw the energy of the top light up, he howled and caused the string to burn. A heat wave was let loose; Gladion and Silvally were knocked across to the wall of the ruins as Madison shielded her Pikachu and was knocked onto another, the Genesect had less luck and was sent burning into the lake.

BOOM! "La- liona!"

Necrozma turned around with a struggle to a Solgaleo shining with light. Gladion and Silvally felt adrenaline flowing as he pulled themselves up and took the chance to strike. "He wants that light, he is going to have to get through us, Silvally, again!"

The Silvally charged at the Necrozma that had his attention taken. BOOM! Earth power erupted, Silvally rolled back as Madison maneuvered to the front of Solgaleo, ready to block with a Pikachu dancing to bring the rain. "Ha! Pikachu get him with a thu-" Necrozma forced himself to fight through the paralysis and charged at Solgaleo with his claws. The Sunne jumped back and rammed him out of the arena with a sunsteel strike, Manaphy dragged back a powered down Tyranitar and a Genesect with scorch marks. He watched claws clashed and lights shoot as he went to Gladion's side and panted. "Eclipse gave them a wack!"

The man agreed as Silvally and Pikachu tried to find an opening, the large Skarmory squawk at Silvally for something and grabbed Madison by the scruff of her vest. The synthetic pokemon barked in questioning and saw the two forces ignite, he pulled Gladion and Manaphy back as the ignited duo crashed to the center of the stone floor. When their vision returned, the saw Necrozma with Solgaleo pinned by a right claw, both glowed, Gladion shouted without hesitation. "Manaphy, use ice beam!" Madison ordered. "Pikachu, use surf to-" Necrozma focused on them and raised his left claw, the prism glowed in light and shot a bright orb, the Skarmory used whirlwind on the humans to blow them away from the blast and dodged a photon geyser. With the group busy dodging and Silvally blinded for a moment, Necrozma gave a demented laughter as the Solgaleo struggled to move.

Gladion felt sun light in his eyes and was forced to close them for a moment, when he opened them he found the Solgaleo reduced to a color of white and yellow. Black crystals covered all over his paws, two slabs of black stone were on his sides, two claws stick from his back with fingers twitching and the face had a crystal like a helmet, on the forehead was a multi colored triangle that glowed. "Damn it! Madison we need to get that thing off of Solgaleo!"

The ranger rubbed her eyes and adjusted her top as Necrozma struggled with his new form and let loose a roar of pain, causing many lights to shine.

At Ula'ula Meadow.

Elio and Lillie were running towards where the lake is when they saw the sun reach a full eclipse, strange holes shined across the islands. Lillie felt a mortal fear for her brother and knew what happened. "Necrozma has his hands on Solgaleo! We need to hurry!"

Elio was about to agree when he saw a wormhole open up to drop something in front of his wife. "Stop!"

Lillie was pulled away by her husband was knocked off her feet by a thud from a large golden tower that blocked the bridge way. The golden panels shifted to shot blue glowing eyes. Elio let out an Alolan Raichu as Lillie saw green, pink, blue and yellow lights flying in the sky. "I hope our plan works!"

She was about to send her own Raichu as crackling was heard from behind, she turned around to find a small wormhole open to let out a squirming Xurkitree. She let out an Alolan Ninetails that let loose hail as she saw the beast ignite in an aura. The Xurkitree was in a panic at the strange sky and stared at Lillie. It wiggled its arms and reached for her, Melrakka got in the way and let loose an aurora viel, annoying the Xurkitree to where it crackled lightning. Elio saw the Stakataka's four arms lift its collected body from the ground and it was about to walk over him, the man shouted fast. "Surfer, use thunder bolt!"

The Alolan Raichu shot a thunder bolt at the rampart pokemon and caused him to back away in a twitch, his eyes glowed red as the Xurkitree shot a powerful thunder bolt at the Ninetails.

Stakataka caused the dimensions to distort, he stomped the ground and caused sharp stones to rupture from the ground, Elio ordered. "Dodge and use thunder wave!"

The Raichu dodged as the Xurkitree shot a fast thunder bolt at the Ninetails, the aurora softed the blow as Lillie ordered. "Hit it with a blizzard!"

The Ninetails blew a blizzard that knocked the Xurkitree out in a critical blow. The Raichu shot a thunder wave to paralyze the Stakataka. Elio took out a beast ball and tossed it at the strange colored beast, it yanked the foe into the ball and shook as it rolled on the bridge. Shake...shake...shake... click!

With one beast gone, the Xurkitree struggled to pull himself up and saw a gold ring before him, it glowed a light that lead home. "Xurk?"

Lillie nodded and whispered. "That is your way home, please get out of here!" The Xurkitree gave a faint sparkle and pitifully crawled through the ring, Lillie felt sympathy for the beast. "Poor thing doesn't want to be here and is doing what a lost one would do! Elio, we should get going to the lake!"

Elio picked the beast ball up and saw it fade into the P.C when he heard another shriek, the meadow rustled and five Pheromosas surrounded him in frightening speeds. They were observing him as to what he actually is much to Lillie's peril as a voice shout. "Naganadel, use heat wave!"

The Pheromosa swarm turned around and saw a creature with a familiar aura blow a heat wave at them, they were pushed away from the damage as Elio's hat was burned, he knocked it off and cringed as he saw Dulse giving a stoic frown and Zossie having a Malamar fight back against a Nihilego. "You two got here at a good timing! Eclipse drew you here?"

Zossie over saw her Malamar knocking a Nihilego into a Hoopa ring that glowed like a wormhole as Dulse nodded. "Necrozma had breached the defenses and has claimed Solgaleo, Champion of Alola, do you have the N-Solarizer?"

Elio nodded and took out the device. "I just need to zap Eclipse with this thing and he is off of Solgaleo!"

"Venom?!" Lillie turned around and found four Nihilego creeping from the eastern woods, as well as the struggling Pheromosas that dragged themselves into an open Hoopa ring glowing like an Ultra Wormhole. Dulse sent out an Espeon and ordered. "Use psyshock!"

The Espeon glowed to keep back the parasites as Zossie gave a salute to Lillie. "You and Elio go on ahead, we can handle these!"

The pregnant woman was hesitate to leave the two alone with such Ultra Beasts when she heard another roar of pain from the lake, another wormhole opened to her frustration as a flash cannon shot at one of the Nihilego from the distance, earning a critical hit k.o. "HA! That Buzzwole helped out a lot on my download!"

Elio saw a Genesect fly down with his gun glowing and facing the coming beast, a Guzzlord emerged like he was running from something and was disoriented at where he is. "Oh come on! Blattron, shoot these things things to kingdom come! Dulse, Zossie, hold the line and get out of there when it becomes much! Lillie, cover my rear in case we have more beasts show up on the way! Any objections?"

Lillie had none as the Genesect found four irritated Nihilego swarming towards him, Suicune and Raikou came to his side. "With his immunity and the power of Suicune and Raikou, we have little worries. Good luck all of you!" Zossie gave a thumbs up to tell the duo they will be fine, with the humans of Alola going to the lake, the Genesect saw a flamethrower coming from the Guzzlord and buzzed. "COME AND GET ME!"

Simultaneously

Guzma was growing impatient as he waited for the trial goer, a door slammed open to Gough screaming with his cap. "I had to fight my way through a damn clown! You better make this fight worth it!" Guzma stared confused at the term clown. "You mean Clarabelle? She is kind of the joker of the town, she said she is getting a job on a t.v show and hasn't been here in weeks."

Gough's eye brow twitched as he had a poke ball ready. "By the... Fury, we must finish this now!"

Guzma saw the Crobat and sent out his pokemon. "Vikavolt, mess em up!" A Vikavolt flew to battle as Gough barked. "Use u-turn!"

The Crobat charged at the Vikavolt and back into the ball, Gough sent out a Kommo-o that attempted to calm his trainer when he was struck by lightning, he glared and struck with a poison jab. Guzma was about to order for another thunder bolt when he realized. "Wait a minute. Those things are here now?!"

Gough nodded and pounded his fists together. "I am been wanting to do this since I heard of you, this battle first, the clown is already gone!"

Guzma cringed as the Kommo-o was knocked into a corner, Gough spit and shouted. "End it with clanging scales!"

The Kommo-o shook his scales and knocked the Vikavolt out, Guzma switched for a Golisopod with a life orb. "Take it out with first impression!"

The Golisopod startled the Kommo-o and sucker punched him in the gut with boosted power, Gough called the Kommo-o back and ordered. "Fury, strike this Golisopod with brave bird!" The Crobat charged the Golisopod and caused it to make an emergency exit from battle.

Guzma sent out his next pokemon, a Scizor that snapped its pincers as the Kahuna ordered. "Hit it with bullet punch!"

The Crobat was punched in the face as Gough ordered once more. "U-turn! It is time to end this!" Fury listened to the tone and u-turn back into the ball, in his place was a Machamp, it was punched again and countered with his own punch. "Dynamic punch, then we can finally crush them!"

The Scizor was punched across the face and was in a daze, Guzma gritted and felt anxious. "Come on, hit it with an iron head!"

The Scizor charged at the Machamp and hit a wall instead, exposing him to a stone edge k.o. Guzma switched for a Masquerain that intimidated the Machamp and followed with the order. "Blow em out!"

The Machamp raised an eyebrow at what the order was as the Masquirain slashed the air to knock him out. Gough switched and sent his next pokemon. "Akra, let the orb flow and annihilate!"

Guzma saw a Zangoose with a toxic orb and anticipated the worse. "Buzz em out!"

Gough grinned and ordered. "Use detect and facade!" The Zangoose covered his ears and felt his veins burn, he swat the Masquerain down and left Guzma with a Volcarona to send out. "Heh! Looks like we are beating each other down! Volcarona, use fire blast!"

The Volcarona flapped his wings into an inferno that knocked the crazed Zangoose out, Gough switched back to a Crobat and expected a repeat, the Volcarona flapped again and was struck down by the brave Crobat. Guzma sent back his Golisopod and turned his back around to show a skull logo, angering Gough to where he ordered without thinking. "Enough of this! Finish that Golisopod!"

The Crobat flew at the foe. Pow! The Golisopod sucker punched the Crobat for a finishing K.O, leaving Gough with his next pokemon. "Wha...go Siege!"

Guzma saw the Rhydon with an eviolite and found himself to an old strategy of his. "Beat it up with liquidation!"

The Golisopod charged at the Rhydon as Gough ordered. "Rock blast!" The Rhydon aimed at the foe and knocked him back with the first rock, the Golisopod shook his head and panted as he saw another rock aiming for his stomach, he crouched and fell over. K.O!

Guzma called the Golisopod out and took out a net ball. "Punctchy, show him how we do it!" Out of ball came a Heracross with a mega stone, the single horn pokemon stared directly at Gough like it was a distant memory until Guzma readied the keystone. "This punk hasn't learned his lesson, mega evolve and destroy him!"

The keystone glowed strange energy into the Heracross, causing his arms to bulge out, his horn grew longer and a second horn grew under its eyes. "Hera!"

The Rhydon was about to strike as the Heracross charged and beaten him down in close combat for a brutal k.o. Gough was left to his last pokemon as he made another switch. "Scizor, be ready to strike!"

A Scizor entered the battle with his pincers ready, Guzma ordered with his finger aimed like a gun. "Rock blast!"

The Heracross's bulges opened and shot a barrage of rocks at the Scizor, sending him into a corner as he danced in vigor. Gough felt victory in his grasp and ordered. "Now, use bullet punch!"

The Scizor threw a punch at the speed of a bullet and punched the Heracross in the stomach, causing him to revert back to his normal form knocked out. Guzma kicked on his chair in a violent manner as he called the Heracross back. "Well, your a tough one to have gotten past the others!"

He took a green crystal with a bugs image from the pile and tossed it at Gough. "Guess that means your done on this island. Now, what the hell is going on?!"

Gough felt annoyed as his stare became stoic. "Because you gave me that battle that thankfully was as fullfilling as the other Kahuna's if not more, I'll tell you. We have Ultra Beasts on the loose. I only encountered that clown and that dragon... thing the champion owns."

BASH!

The two men felt something hit the shady house hard and ran out to the broken window to find a tower like creature going on a rampage much like a mad Tauros. Gough growled and set out his knocked out Rhydon, he struggled to get a revive in its mouth when a grunt shouted. "Larry hit it with an earthquake!"

The house shook even more from intense shaking, it caused the ultra beast's red glowing eyes to give a signal that it is in great pain and to fall apart, a glow was seen, Guzma looked down to find the pokemon sinking into a glowing hole, all the way back home. "That is that. Your saying you got a trip to the Lake of the Sunne?"

Gough nodded as the Rhydon came through, he was ready to give medicine to the others as a ring opened up from above, ashes poured down on him and caused him to glow. "Wha...what the?"

The ring gave a booming voice, a menacing Hoopa popped his head out with another ring behind the man. "Those ashes are too rare to waste and we don't got time! Step into the ring and be ready to fight for your life."

Gough and Guzma looked up in shock as the Rhydon felt healthy as ever. "...Siege, be ready on my mark!"

At the Lake of the Sunne

Gladion kept a pose as Madison had her stylus aimed, Necrozma glared at the ranger and glowed its prism helmet. It jumped to the air as the Skarmory glowed an aura to charge, Necrozma glowed like the eclipsed sun and charged back. Clash!

Gladion saw a night slash counter the sun steel strike and ordered Silvally. "Put out this false light with your dark claws!"

The Silvally grunted and pounced on Necrozma, earning a good rake at the under belly as the prism pokemon jumped back and let loose a heat wave from its black claws. Skarmory was burned and Silvally stood his ground, Pikachu shot thunder at Necrozma, it violently twitched at the lightning and charged at Silvally for a knock out. It gave a roar and was about to pounce on Gladion as Skarmory caused it to flinch with iron head, Madison found her chance at distracting and had the stylus spin around Necrozma. "Gladion, get it with that Z move and we should ha-" Necrozma glowed in heat and shot a wave from its maw to knock the Skarmory out, Madison and her Pikachu rolled out of the way and advance as Manaphy used tail glow. "Phew! Okay papa, lets do this!"

Gladion agreed and flashed his Z power ring, Necrozma saw the ring and glowed his black arms, the trainer and pokemon were about to roll out of the way as the yellow beam was shot at where they were heading. A Hoopa ring opened up and something with white wings jumped out to take the Photon Geyser.

BOOM!

To the groups surprise, it was a mega Absol that was furious at the creature bringing disaster, stepping out was a familiar blonde woman shaking at her legs, Gladion glared and barked. "Mother, what are you doing he-" Lusamine gave Gladion a protective stare. "Are you alright?"

The son focused his glare away and stared at his pokemon. "Necrozma is proving to be tough for us and we needed back up," Lusamine nodded and heard a roar of anger from Necrozma, she focused a glare at the shining creature. "Cassandra, use sucker punch!"

The mega Absol flew at Necrozma with an under handed strike to the prism like triangle, the legend jumped behind and glowed, charging directly at the humans when another ring appeared from above, a Rhydon fell down in front of the trainers and took the sun steel strike. A man familiar to the duo jumped down to roar. "Come at us with all your might!"

Lusamine recognized the tone and mentally matched a description, Gladion felt his heart beating hard as he tried once more to pose, strange light went into Manaphy and caused him to squint his eyes. "Necrozma get off of Solgaleo!"

Gladion agreed and ordered. "Take this beast down with hydro vortex!"

The Manaphy nodded and rushed to Necrozma, spinning around and engulfing him in a watery tornado that thrashed him around, Madison had her capture stylus ready as Necrozma was spit out and on the floor, it was struggling to get up and looked at foes from all sides, it opened and Ultra Wormhole from bellow, ready to escape as a laser beam shot him from afar. Necrozma thrashed and felt part of himself yanked, sunlight glowed and was forced out of him as a whole Solgaleo, causing him to revert back to his incomplete form. It clawed at its cranium and sank into the wormhole without its prize.

Pew! The darken day started to light up once more to a clear day as a masculine voice was wheezing. "*Ha!* We got here on time!"

Elio saw the unusual sight of people as well as signs that guard duty didn't go anywhere according to plan as Lillie followed to find a Solgaleo coming through with a realization, Gladion who was battered, Madison who was as better for wear. The final two was Gough glaring at Lusamine, the mother to be breathed heavily and asked. "Do we need to talk about what just happened?"

Up at Hokulani Observatory.

Sophocles had a large Vikavolt buzz a Guzzlord into a Hoopa Wormhole when Molayne found the eclipsed sky unsettling. "Soffy, is this what the Champ had us ready for?"

Sophocles nodded as Tammy was looking down at the ultra wormholes opening from all over the region in sporadic patterns. "The trailer park had a few homes wrecked by a Buzzwole, the power plant was nearly run dry by Xurkitrees and that Guzzlord fell out here of all places."

Tammy had binoculars and found lighting and ice knocking a Celesteela out of Malie City. Fearow looked with her and flapped. "FEAROW!"

The girl wondered the warning as she saw something black and white in front of her, spooking her to fall on her butt. A Kartana with silver shoulders, silver paper like hilts and black on its torso spun, ready to strike. "Yah Tahn!"

The Fearow blocked the Kartana, he saw an aura that flared to life and was knocked out by a leaf blade, scaring Tammy to sent another pokemon out. "Flamur, help!"

A Totem sized Marowak exit the ball to find the Kartana shrieking and attacking impatiently, he slashed at the Marowak with leaf blade and was knocked back by a shadow bone. Tammy took a beast ball and tossed it at the Kartana, getting it into a ball and falling on the concrete. Shake...shake...shake...click!

The girls heart was at her throat as the evacuated were watching. She called her Fearow back and heard more skittering, she saw a duo of Kartana slicing through the rails and glaring at the ball. "How many more are there?"

Sophocles had an estimate from his readings. "Until we can find a source of the wormholes, we are having to manage waves of the beasts, how much longer can we keep it up?"

The Marowak was ready to fight against the Kartanas, until a third shriek came, directed at the two beasts. The duo stopped and turned around to find one trying to talk some sense into them, Molayne blinked and asked what was happening. "Is that Kartana trying to stop them?"

The Kartana listened, nodded and pointed to the ball, Tammy guessed what happened. "I caught that one fair and square, it seems since these are samurai, they might have a sense of accepting an honorable loss."

The trio were in agreement and gave the human a bow of respect, a Hoopa ring came from behind them to open a shiny wormhole, enticing them to a desire they wanted, a way home. They flew in with joy, leaving another story that is to be discovered. The eclipse faded, sunlight returned to Alola, Sophocles was given a call from someone about a report. "Yes? We have the inhabitants of this island safe for now, those beasts are gone?!"

Tammy watched shining holes from all over the region, she guessed who is responsible for removing the beasts. "That is that Hoopa? He is quite handy!"

At the Lake of the Sunne.

Elio fell on his back and took in what happened. "Eclipse took Solgaleo, went nuts due to the light causing him pain and tried to kill you? That isn't beginning what he was doing all over Alola!"

Gladion took a deep breath and tried not to glare at Elio. "That is what we didn't take into account, Necrozma ignoring the pokemon sent at him and doing what he pleases. With that Hoopa being in Unbound power, he is able to send those beasts home when they are in a good spot. The problem, Necrozma got away and if back up didn't come unannounced-"

Lillie stopped the would be in an agreement as the Solgaleo bolted himself up and roared in a panic, the mother to be realized what Necrozma's plan is. "Eclipse isn't running away, he is going after Nebby next!"

Lusamine glared at where the get away wormhole was and agreed to what was said about Necrozma. "To repeat the same action and expect different results... that thing truly is insane, it needs to be stopped before it is able to lick its wounds, do we know where it is heading?"

The Solgaleo roared a yes and opened his third eye, much to Elio and Lillie's protest, the Alolan Champ asked. "No! If you go after him again, he is going to take over you all over again. He is heading to Ultra Megaopolis?!"

The Solgaleo wondered what the place is as Gough called his Rhydon back. "No idea, but Solgaleo has its scent! You wish for me to assist in hunting it down?"

Elio was about to shout "no, going after Necrozma by himself is an easy way to get killed," Lusamine had a similar idea. "Perhaps if we chase him to that city, when he knows, he will want to avoid us!"

Lillie and Gladion glared at their mother in mortal fear, the son asked. "Mother, don't! You saw what he did with two people."

Madison was about to agree as she snapped her fingers to an idea. "What if one of us uses the other to sandwich Necrozma and have him cornered, we need one more trainer to make it happen!"

Elio clapped at the idea and gave an order to Gough. "If Lusamine wants to help with this, you make sure she doesn't wander off somewhere else that might make her change her mind! Once we have Eclipse cornered, that is when everyone is going to let loose on him! I know someone who can help us and I need a few minutes," He directed to Madison and asked. "Sorry about this dumb idea not working, we might still have Ultra Beast stuck on Alola that need to be flushed out, do you mind exploring Akala Island after getting your pokemon healed?"

Madison had an Emolga in her pouch and saluted. "You can count on me for that!"

Gladion felt the emergency was going to come again and asked. "With Nebby being with Elio, what is going to happen if even that failed?"

Lillie had a plan of her own and took out a luxury ball. "It isn't much, but we have a way to get to Ultra Megaopolis ourselves. Elio, you and the others can go ahead of us while we settle our last back up plan," Elio's eyes widen for a moment and kissed his wife on the lips. "Your a genius!"

Lillie smiled and blushed sly as she addressed to Solgaleo. "Get Gough and mother to help you chase Necrozma down, we are ending its threat once and for all! Mother, Gough... thank you!"

The Solgaleo lowered himself down, Gough climbed on the Sunne pokemon's back as Lusamine was given a goodbye hug from her children, she shielded away the thought of the worse happening to her and got on the Solgaleo. "Elio, do not slack behind!"

The Alolan Champ and the Aether Siblings waved the trio goodbye, Solgaleo opened his third eye and opened an ultra wormhole, charging straight in. With that finished Elio was about to call someone when a rough voice shouted from behind. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRUSTING HER FOR?!"

Lillie and Gladion turned around to find Guzma furious, Elio answered loudly. "That is what Gough is for because he wouldn't hesitate to stop her should she try throwing all of that trust away. Eclipse is a psychic type and your the strongest bug specialist I know, do you want to beat that thing up for causing a mess all over Alola?"

Guzma folded his arms and answered. "Damn right I do!"

Elio flipped his pager and called a Charizard. "Meet me at my backyard, I'm getting Nebby! Lillie, Gladion, be careful because Little Horn hasn't gotten all the beasts yet!"

The siblings understood and watched the Alolan Champ fly away, Guzma felt his blood on fire and called a Charizard of his own. "All right, you hear that Tapu Bulu? Ya boy has this covered!"

With Guzma gone, Gladion felt his blood heat up and asked his pregnant sister "Lillie, are you ready to continue this fight?"

The Professor raised her pager. "Of course, I am going to check on the captains while you help Madison, meet me at the Altar of the Moone by evening!"

A Charizard came to swoop her away, leaving Gladion and Madison to clean up. The man asked. "If we survive this, there is something I want to tell you," Madison used revives on the Genesect, Skarmory and Emolga in a feeling of guilt. "I stank at stopping that Necrozma while you done better at fighting him," Gladion blushed and fist bumped the Ranger. "That wasn't what I wanted to tell you, maybe later!"

At the Champions backyard.

Elio found a Lunala that glowed in anger with him. "Nebby, has Little Horn gotten every single one of them?"

The Lunala shook her head and answered telepathically. "No but thankfully quite a few of the people you assigned have captured some of them, the rest are sent back home. Pop's I know you want to still help Eclipse, but he needs to have that chill pill forced into him!"

Elio puffed his chest and shouted. "If he is going crazy, so will I!"

Swoop!

The Charizard landed, Guzma had an arrogant grin as Elio helped him get on the Lunala's back. "This is going to get good!"

Elio agreed as the Lunala rolled her eyes, with her trainer on her back as well, she opened her third eye and opened an Ultra Wormhole to fly in. PEW!

It was a strange sighting of light, but the Lunala's experience had lead her to a third white wormhole that reached Ultra Megaopolis. The trio found the city to be finishing a clean up as well as Phyco finishing instructing someone from a communicator. "The Blinding One was knocked off of Solgaleo? That man's work is without peer, find the Champion of Alola, we are putting an end to the Blinding One's rampage across our worlds!"

Elio shouted at him. "No need! Eclipse is on his way here and we need to get these people in shelter! Are you and Soleira ready?"

Guzma found the lighting awkward as a blue hair woman came out of a building with a Linoone. "Champion of Alola, our plan for battle is going to be as this!"

Somewhere else in Ultra Space.

A white light flashed and Solgaleo found himself in a world mostly of jungle, on top of trees that look to be flexing. Lusamine glared at the place as Gough got off. "I am going to search this place, you keep Solgaleo company while he gets Necrozma's scent!"

Lusamine asked the man. "What reason would you have to search this place?! Ultra beasts require special balls!" Gough went into his bag and took out three beast balls. "You mean these? I have obtained these a long time ago from what my old master had left! Do not think I am taking this lightly either!"

The woman felt her skin crawl of who she is working with. "You have until Solgaleo smells something, don't waist time!"

The trial goer rolled his eyes and walked on each vine, he saw in the distance a volcano and a pattern of the trees, it wasn't anything he was familiar with as went to the next one, he felt the volcano rumbling and went to the final one at the long walk way, the volcano erupted to let something out. It was a red insect that was muscular and swollen with fluid. It flew to the tree Gough was on and landed, it was impressed by the muscles and flexed for battle. "Hyraaahh!"

Its aura flared to life as Gough sent a Kommo-o out in a flex of his own. "Attack with poison jab!"

The Kommo-o jabbed the Buzzwole and caused it to feel woozy, it flexed its right arm to where it was lower, it gave an icy aura and upper cut the Kommo-o, nearly knocking him off the tree. It clanged its scales and blew them against the Ultra beast, it skid back and charged at its foe with a dynamic punch, Kommo-o dodged out of the way and left the beast to fall on its four knees. Gough tossed a beast ball at it, dragging it in to where it fell. Shake...shake...shake... click!

The trail goer smiled widely and picked up his prize to put in his bag. "HA! At long last, I am the master of one of these!"

ROAR!

Gough was lifted by the scruff of his neck and was tossed on the Solgaleo's back, he called his Kommo-o and asked. "You knew of this one?"

Lusamine nodded. "The Ultra Recon Squad haven't given me much information on these places and there was only one I cared about before Interpol acquired information on the others, to me Buzzwole and its world is more recent knowledge in comparison to... that one. Solgaleo has Necrozma's scent, are you ready?"

Gough grunted and tapped the Solgaleo's neck. "Continue this hunt!"

The Solgaleo opened a wormhole and dashed through, when the light stopped, they found themselves in a strange cavern that triggered something in Lusamine. "...Solgaleo, are you sure he went through here?"

The Sunne pokemon nodded and started to smell as Gough got off to view a world that really was alien to him, like the bottom of the sea. "This one is something you remember! Why else would you be questioning it?"

Lusamine ignored the question and held onto the Solgaleo, a place that was considered paradise to her once has given her a sting of memories, she watched Gough journey deeper and felt her eye twitch. "Gough, come back!"

The man ignored the request and continued, prompting the woman to scream. "You come back here!"

Gough growled and asked. "You gave no reaction to the other world, what lurks here that makes you think you can order me?"

Lusamine squinted her eyes, tempted to ditch him when she shook it out of her mind. "Because I know of the beast that li-" She saw a glass jellyfish appear behind Gough, it hovered close to him in curiosity, its tentacles dangled to an interesting life form. "...Please come back."

The man gave Lusamine a death glare until he felt something cold about to go for his neck. "What in the-" Lusamine felt her spine froze, the Solgaleo glowed and shot a psycho boost at the Nihilego behind, the man turn around to find the ultra beast fly to the distance, more floated towards him in an aggressive manner as the Solgaleo flew next to him. "Roar!" Gough agreed and jumped on, the Sunne pokemon opened a wormhole and flew in, away from the swarming beasts.

On entering another world, Gough asked with a lightened stare. "I get what happened. Those things taint the mind and drive one to madness? Knowing your stubborn nature, it is little wonder your contact with them became an addiction. Now you tried not to think about them unless you have to?"

Lusamine hissed at her partner in crime. "I want to forget about them! They are nothing but poison, next time I say stay close you stay close!"

Gough's stare turned stoic as he responded. "You're not the one to make my decisions, but those things can be a frightening concept depending on who is under that venom's influence. Now where are we?"

"Hello Miss Aether, you came back to this planet to pick a pokemon up?"

Lusamine turned around to find a man in a hazmat suit that was mostly black with a marking that resembled a creatures face, the mask had blue visual lens. "Do I know you?"

The man in the hazmat suit looked at her closely and felt disappointed. "Oh, your from a different reality or something? I guess it doesn't matter," Gough felt puzzled and wanted to look around. "What makes you say that?"

The man in a hazmat suit spotted a few differences off the bat. "The last time I saw her, she was wearing something like I am. She and her group evacuated as many pokemon as they can off this planet to find another place best suited for them...don't mind the mess."

Lusamine dreaded being in such an outfit and found a pipe outside. "...Gough, you stay here, I am going to see for myself what place we are in," The man felt like it was something she would regret doing. "One place you don't recognize, another you do... and now one that recognizes you! I don't think it is wise to stay here for long."

The man in the hazmat suit introduced himself as Albert and agreed. "Breathing too much air out there is dangerous without these... I don't have a spare."

Lusamine felt like she should turn back, yet she ventured out to find a city that is in ruins, the ground was building blocks. A filter leaked, a screen in the distance shined, it was something to consider exploring. Most she doesn't recognize as she looked up to the sky to find yellow, unhealthy clouds, something had to have happened to make the world such a wreck and the fact the man regonized her was a disturbing concept. "Is this an alternate reality to something?!"

She saw something being tossed in the distance and kept observing, going through the walk ways, she found a poster for a power plant that she recognized. "This is the one from Blush Mountain... except this looked like a nuclear power plant." She stood still for a moment and felt the air getting to her, she ventured more to find the screen, another thing to confirm her theory. "Hau'oli beach?!"

She kept her adventure until she reached close to the moving rubble, a rusted sign that seemed like a mystery. "Oli...ity...ha... Servi...ity's...need-" She gasped and backed away, she wanted to leave the place. "Hau'oli City hall. Serving the City's needs. What happened here?!"

Rumble! She turned around and had an ultra ball ready. CRUNCH! STOMP!

She saw a dragon with multiple maws emerge from the rubble, devouring what it can, its four sets of eyes focused on her and roared, igniting an aura. "Clefable, get out and use moon blast!"

Out of the ball came a Clefable that twitched her ears in shock and found a Guzzlord about to chomp on her, she charged the moons power and knocked the Guzzlord into the rubble. Trainer and pokemon took their chance and ran back the way they came, the air felt even more sickening as they went down the pipe.

Back down, Lusamine threw up and a Clefable panted, Albert asked. "Something you found?"

The woman started with the first question. "I recognize one of the signs. I ask, what do you know of Guzzlord?"

Albert blinked under the mask and answered. "Oh, Mr. Glutton? He and his kind the only things I seen out there. Did you find a poster of that pretty power plant? I put that up... my grand parents burned all the others when I was a kid and they don't like talking about it."

Lusamine hid disbelief and asked. "Could it be that the power plants malfunction caused this?!" Albert shrugged that it might be. "Probably, everyone left and I stayed behind to watch over Mr. Glutton and his kind, there isn't a whole lot of them around these days," Solgaleo felt he has a trial as Gough got on, Lusamine asked as she called her Clefable out. "Do you want to come with us? There has to be something better for you than staying here."

Albert refused. "Someone has to keep an eye on Mr. Glutton, I have everything I need to take care of myself. It seems you three have somewhere to be, I hope you have a safe trip," Lusamine felt hesitate to leave the man and slowly got on the Solgaleo. "Thank you, come on Solgaleo, lets chase down Necrozma!"

The Solgaleo opened one more wormhole and in a flash of light, they found themselves in a dark city of artificial light. They found Necrozma facing something and had pokeballs ready, Gough sent out a Scizor as Lusamine sent out a Lilligant with a focus sash.

Simultaneously.

Elio and Guzma finished talking about a plan involving a Cofagrigus and a Golisopod with Phyco and Soleira when they found a wormhole open up. Necrozma tore his way through and stared above the tower, like there is something for him to rely on. Phyco sent out a Clefairy as Soleira had her Linoone use belly drum, Elio and Guzma sneaked to an ally as the Clefairy whistled annoyingly at the Blinding One. Earning its attention and enraging it to where it got closer, Guzma sent out a Golisopod and shouted. "Beat it up with first impression!"

Necrozma was startled by a random Golisopod and was sucker punched as Elio sent out a Cofagrigus. "Hit him with a shado-" Necrozma stared at Elio, knocked Guzma, Golisopod and Makuta out of the way and reached to grab him. "Linoone use extreme speed!"

Necrozma ignited in a boost and took unusually significant damage from the Linoone, he flew above to dodge a Lilligant's stun spore and was kicked by a Scizor making a u-turn. Elio found Lusamine and Gough battle ready and waved. "Well this isn't going so well. Collector, get nasty!"

A Spiritomb was let out and saw Necrozma letting loose a heat wave leave Lilligant with a k.o burn. Guzma came through and ordered. "Get it with sucker punch!"

Golisopod grunted as Necrozma was about to aim at the down pokemon and punched him in the back for an unusally large amounts of pain, drawing his attention as the whistling Clefairy kept distracting. He shot a photon geyser to knock her out, leaving Phyco to switch his Clefairy to a Volcarona and hide as Soleira had Linoone use extreme speed again. "Volcarona, we need to keep hitting him!"

The Volcarona buzzed at Necrozma for significant super effective damage as Elio smiled at what happened. "Sorry about mummifying your prism armor Eclipse! Collector, shadow sneak, Makuta, shadow ball!"

The Spiritomb sank into the shadows and hit Necrozma from the side of a building, causing him to flinch as Lusamine switched to a Mismagius and Gough to sent in a Crobat. "Circe use shadow ball and we can end this!"

"Fury, use x scissor!"

With a Mismagius and Crobat let out, they knocked Necrozma into the street and at the mercy of a Cofagrigus that laughed and seemingly knocked him out. Lusamine took her chance and tossed a green ball with red specs, to the groups surprise.

It dragged Necrozma in and rolled to the city street, Elio's heart beaten harder than usual, could this plan actually work? Shake...shake...shake...pop!

The friend ball erupted into blinding light, Elio felt himself yanked from the ground and in the clutches of something, when his vision came through, he felt his life flashing before his eyes as Necrozma was staring down on him and was violently shaking something off of him, the Spiritomb was the first to be out of his bag, followed by a device with a moons symbol. Gough glowed and backed. "Use u-tu-" Necrozma put Elio in front of the group and growled, giving Lusamine the idea of what it is doing. "Is it using him as a hostage?! You got to be kidding me!"

Necrozma used his other hand and focused Elio's Z power ring, drawing light energy from it and charging himself. Boom! Roar! Flap! Shriek! Necrozma shifted his eyes at a Solgaleo and Lunala, it held Elio in a tighter grip and floated backwards, it gave a desperate laughter as the Lunala glared.

Guzma shook his head and was about to order a strike as Necrozma focused his gaze on Golisopod and knocked it out with a photon geyser. It focused back on Lunala particularly, like it is negotiating something, Elio cringed and whispered. "Nebby, don't listen to him, he is crazy!"

The Lunala shivered and felt the Necrozma talking about something unexpected, a masculine voice rang in Elio's head. "He, help me! He brought you to me?!"

Lunala shook her head in answer. "No he didn't, he is trying to stop you from acting this irrationally! Let him go!"

Necrozma stared at Elio and lossen his grip. "He shines like that light! I don't need to harm him!"

The man felt his chance and wiggled out, falling flat on the floor and finding it his chance to call the pokemon back. "Eclipse, what you did, put everyone in danger, it resulted in me and several others beating the crap out of you, which only gave you more pain!" He took out a luxury ball and asked. "Please, let me capture you! Then we can-" His gaze went to an N-Lunarizer that was broken from the fall. "eventually, help you!"

Necrozma glared down at the ball and stuttered, the Solgaleo glowed something to the others, Gough, Lusamine and Guzma were about to question it until the voice in their minds rang more clear, they called their pokemon back and were ready to get on the Solgaleo. Soliera called her Linoone back and was about to voice something when Lunala chimed that it is alright.

Necrozma kept staring at a ball of promise and was about to go to it, like he was in a trance. Lunala sensed something evil lurking, sweated and warned Elio. "Uh oh! Pop's get to Solgaleo and run!"

Elio ran to the Sunne pokemon as the Lunala gave the two Recon Squad members the que to hide. A faint, eerie voice rang in Necrozma, he held into his cranium and whimpered. "No! They are trying to help me! Stop it! STOP IT!"

Elio's eyes widen. "Nebby, what is happening?!"

The Lunala felt a voice ring in her head as the Solgaleo was quick to have Elio get on him. Necrozma shook violently, like a word was ringing in his mind, the Solgaleo opened a wormhole, the prism pokemon glowed a black aura and charged at the pokemon carrying the passengers. Nebby shot a moongeist beam at Necrozma, gaining his attention and giving the Solgaleo time to escape. Lunala kept hearing a similar, yet distorted voice. "Destroy , destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy, destroy! LETS DESTROY EVERYTHING!"

Necrozma shifted in an unatural manner, desperate to make the voices stop. "GET OUT! GET OUT!" He shot a black photon geyser at Lunala and pursued into the wormhole, Nebby dodged and followed to try and stop him.

Simultaneously.

Lillie finished her observation of the islands, most were damaged by the Ultra Beast invasion and would have provided much for even the Tapus to deal with. Hau'oli had scorch marks and buildings that were punched through, the Meadow was set on fire and had to be doused. Akala had road ways that need to be rebuilt, Diglett tunnel is on quarantine due the native pokemon being under a craze, the resorts has to be managed by the fire department because explosions, Ula'ula suffered worse in comparison due to Malie Garden being partially eaten, the buildings were cut in half and have to be rebuilt once the crisis is over. The meadow, Tapu Village and Meadow have suffered more from over zealous defenders than the actual beasts, the captains reported that no one gotten hurt. She gave Tammy a hug in regard to a brave thing she did. "You fought back against an odd colored Kartana and assisted Sophocles in protected the evacuated, thank you!"

The girl felt warm and asked. "Poni Island sounds pretty dangerous right now, are you sure you don't need me to come along?"

Lillie shook her head and gave her a warning. "Just because Necrozma has been driven off doesn't mean this won't happen again, unless we can capture him, it is wise to stay put!" Tammy blushed and hugged her back. "I will Mo...Professor Lillie."

Lillie took out a pager for Charizard and wished Tammy goodbye, landing on Seafolk village and finding Mina eating a healthy amount of brocoli. Her stomach looked rather large and she waved hello. "It took you a while to get here! Everyone is camping at the Ruins of Hope and we had a Guzzlord by Hapu's farm along with a couple Xurkitrees in the jungle. We still are not done yet?"

Lillie shook her head and took out a luxury ball to let out a Cosmoem. "Me and my brother need to make it to the Altar of the Moone by sun down. Everyone is fighting so shall I!" Mina burped and found it a case of deja vu. "You grown a lot since the last time this happened, anything you have to wait for?"

Lillie saw a Charizard land to drop of a rather crestfallen Gladion, she became concern as Mina felt a kick. "Hmm, Davinci has a point. You have a little ways to go before this is all over, then we can focus back with our lives. Later in the week... you mind if I experiment with a painting of you? This isn't something that happens every day and it might be missed forever."

Lillie had it in mind and asked. "It involves my pregnancy. Speaking of which, when is Davinci due?"

Mina answered as Gladion arrived with a Mew trying to calm down. A month or two, I can't wait show him the islands. Those twins might have a friend soon!"

Lillie thought that they might and wanted to part ways. "Let us know how child birth is like, brother, what happened?"

Gladion felt a hint of guilt as he answered. "I see where she gotten that idea from. She was waiting on standby at the Pelago should things have gotten as it did. Those wormholes were opening up at even there and father has a hard time explaining it, one of those Beasts triggered Isaac," Lillie gasped and felt dread. "And she is the one who went to fight Necrozma with Elio and the others, we need to hurry to the Altar!"

Gladion agreed and began his journey on foot. "If we spend time walking, we will make it there at just the right time!"

Lillie looked up the sky to find a sun setting and called the Cosmoem back. "We should, we will see you soon Mina!"

The two women waved goodbye, Lillie followed Gladion to Vast Poni Canyon and asked. "A Nihilego came from a wormhole and set Isaac off?"

Gladion nodded and found it logical. "That venom was what caused him to loose his mind. It would make anyone lose their mind! That Hoopa even unbound worked himself to the point of exhaustion, he is the key component to thank for our plan even going as smoothly as it did... barring everything with Necrozma going wrong."

Lillie took her turn to hold a resting Mew. "Having the power to bend reality can work a lot to the mind. Once Necrozma is settled, what should we do to pass the time?"

Gladion answered as he scared a flock of Murkrows away. "Ask Madison regarding something risky, go home, take a relief that it is over and think of what to do next. Maybe... hmm," Lillie let her brother continue. "Maybe I should spend some time off this region, see what I can't accomplish. You said you only did the Kanto League?"

Lillie nodded and remembered the badges. "Where a lot of things have started, with your skills as a trainer, you might be able to take both Kanto and Johto!"

The brother felt it would help and considered travel plans. "That may happen after we find out where Giovanni is hiding, we need to get that Cosmog off his hands before too long. I wonder what he is planning?"

Lillie didn't want to think of another crisis as she saw herself close to a certain passage way. "More trouble. But soon we can finally put these ten years to rest, what happens soon, will shine like no other!"
