The next day, the team of Lillie, Hau, Gladion, Selene, Calem and Magdoline agreed to go look around Kalos for the Hoopa ring. Selene spent most of the waking morning, dazed, confused, struggling to remember she isn't of the timeline.

Gladion sighed. "You mind if I come with you? It still seems like you shouldn't be left alone."

Selene was in defeat and sighed. "I don't."

Hau searched south of Kalos to Vaniville Town and found nothing. Lillie searched the eastern route of Kalos with her Pidgeot and searched the Pokemon Village. She found nothing in that or the unknown cave, she went to Route 22 and searched for a rumored cave called the Chamber of Emptiness. She found nothing. "This place was so far away... it had to have been it."

Gladion and Selene searched the western of Kalos and traveled to the Glittering Cave; they found nothing and searched north to the Reflection Cave. Selene found one odd thing, a reflection of a boy who was staring down at her; he was giving an emotionally hurt smile, Gladion approached to see the reflection. He found himself cringing and staring at Selene, like he is missing someone.

Gladion posed and asked Selene. "There isn't any Hoopa ring here... you think we should go before these reflections get to us?"

Selene nodded in a tearful smile. "Please, it hurts to think about who else is hurt over there."

Gladion received a text from Calem. "Me and Magdoline found something in one of the few places I thought I come back to. Meet me at a... scary looking house in route 14."

Gladion's frown lightened to something more hopeful. "Please let this be what we are looking for."


In Route 14

By a not so scary house, Lillie, Gladion, Selene and Hau saw a Hoopa ring at its side; glowing purple. Calem asked. "You want me and Magdoline to come with you?"

Lillie shook her head in refusal. "Time flows differently in there, half an hour in there is three days out here. In case we are gone in there longer we need someone to tell three people looking for us where we are." Magdoline stared stoically. "Hoopa is treating all this like a game, someone has to tell him he has gone far enough. If you are gone before your family comes, we will handle it!"

Calem smiled in agreement. "We are going to be the support then. Tres bien!"

Lillie sent out the Mew who senses it from the ring and glowed. "Hoopa is doing this to taunt us, but this is our best chance at stopping him. Mum's, uncle... other mum's are you all ready?" The four said a yes as they prepared to jump in, Calem adjusted his hat in a silent prayer for luck.

The quartet and Mew jumped out of the ring to find themselves in a purple cavern.

Hau was the first to ask. "Where are we?"

Mew glowed and kept a telepathic link. "This is Hoopa's realm. Created by some symbols linked to the Unown from Johto, this explains why no one has ever found the things he stole."

Gladion sent out his Silvally, who smelled something in the distance and barked. "Come on, lets see what else this place has."

They traveled for what felt like a few minutes until they found a large glistening palace within the void. The central gate looked silver with red lining across the opened doorway; a purple carpet with symbols of a kingdom none have known, tempted them to go in. With in was yellow shining gold walls, they see their reflection in the ceiling, the ceiling itself show images of the lake trio, Celebi, Jirarchi and many other pokemon of ancient legends.

Lillie swallowed, feeling overwhelmed. "This is a big palace."

Mew nodded in agreement. "This entire palace is what Hoopa is able to steal unbound, in that form... he has no limit in bending reality."

Selene asked. "Why was Hoopa forced into his confined form in the first place?"

Mew smiled and answered the question. "Grand pappy told me the bottle is used to contain its power. Hoopa's are older than you want to know and most of them are naturally chaotic. As a thief with that much power, it is less that they themselves seek to destruction and more they don't know when enough is enough."

Gladion thought of it. "Naturally, the little regards they have to their greed is what makes them so dangerous. Or with their power it goes completely wild by the time they realize they gone too far and destruction ensues."

The Mew nodded in agreement as they continued; within an hour they found what looks like a rather well decorated room, with a leafy bedding and a Clefairy doll.

Lillie sighed, took the Clefairy doll and placed in her bag, Selene asked. "Who's plan was it to use that thing as bait?"

Lillie blushed and frowned. "Elio's..."

Selene saw the frown and patted her friend on the back. "This would have been your idea if he didn't think of it by the next day. For now, lets keep moving."

Mew glowed as he floated out of the room and looked toward its left. "Hoopa is that way. Let's go handle this once and for all."

They continued and found the purple carpet leading to a golden thrown; at the arm chairs is a ruby on one end, a sapphire in another and an emerald at the top rail. Hoopa was smiling at them and gave a gracious bow, with a prison bottle at hand. "You all finally made it!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Lillie heard the type of clapping as rather genuine in comparison to the last time she heard it and asked. "Why do you seek to becom..."

Hoopa answered, still smiling. "Why do I want to become unbound once more? Simple, it had been ages. Some people thought it would have been a good idea to seal me away, when the worse I done was summon a group of legendaries to drive a bunch of people out and take this place!"

Hau understood and glared. "In other words, to once again have the power to do what you want?"

Hoopa pointed at Hau in compliment. "You got it kid; be the best thief in history, being able to show everyone what a legendary actually is! You probably have been asking ever since you found my friend sneaking back to Kalos; why didn't Hoopa take Kartana with him to Alola sooner instead of letting him have you all run around like idiots? Why would he risk a plan like that?"

Gladion posed and glared as Selene prepared a dusk ball and quick ball, Hoopa answered in a less arrogant smirk. "Because he wanted to prove something about himself, I let him have all that and more. Once he did, I made some back up plans to catch up with you all with in the span of the day, leading to this!"

Selene approached with anger in her eyes as Hoopa finished and directed his attention to her. "If you think I'm planning to run from you all, I'm not! Girly, if you want to go back home, you will buy me all the time I need!"

Selene shouted in refusal. "I will not betray my frie..."

Hoopa uncorked the prison bottle, purple energy flowed in him; his eyes glowed red. Selene's eyes changed to red as she whispered in a trance. "I want to see him again... plea..."

Selene shook herself in resisting. Hoopa's voice became deeper and boomed across the hall. "Oh come on, I know you want to go back. Like I told them, you don't exist in this timeline! Any friends or family you recognized here won't recognize you because of this! Am I saying you have to destroy them... or even hurt them?"

Selene silently shook her head, her eyes glowed more red as she turned around; she smiled relaxed, like she is going to get something she wanted and added another ball to her hand. "... I'm sorry guys."

Vs Pokemon Trainer Selene

Selene sent out a Salazzle, Heliolisk and Hitmonlee; their eyes glowed red in preparation.

Gladion knew what was happening and gave Silvally a ground memory as he posed. "Hoopa is using the pain in her heart to make her want to do this, Silvally... we will not go easy on her."

Hau tossed a love ball and sent out a shiny Heatran. "We are going to have to do this... Heatran we need to fight her."

Lillie tossed a pokeball. "Lola... please make this quick."

Selene stared in determination and shouted. "KICKER USE FAKE OUT ON THAT SILVALLY, FUMESA USE NASTY PLOT, CHALM VOLT SWITCH ON VAPOREON!" The Hitmonlee faked the Silvally out in a flinch, the Salazzle giggled maliciously and the Heliolisk shot at the Vaporeon.

He returned to his trainer and Selene prepared a pokeball. "FLO, WE NEED TO GET HOME!"

The Primarina entered the battle rather startled until her eyes glowed, Hau ordered. "Heatran use earth power on that Salazzle!"

The Heatran stomped the ground and erupted, the Salazzle held on. Lillie ordered. "Lola, use ice beam on that Hitmonlee!"

The Vaporeon shot at the Hitmonlee with an ice beam as Selene shouted. "KICKER BLAZE KICK THAT SILVALLY, FUMESA JOIN WITH A FLAMETHROWER, FLO HYDRO PUMP THAT HEATRAN!"

The Salazzle inhaled an intense torrent of flame at the Silvally, Gladion yelled. "Finish that Salazzle off with a crunch!"

The Salazzle was crunched into for a k.o; the Hitmonlee blaze kicked the Silvally back to Gladion for a k.o as the Primarina knocked the Heatran out with a hydro pump.

Lillie ordered. "Now use surf!" The Vaporeon let loose a surf wave, knocked the Hitmonlee out and barely did damage to the Primarina.

Gladion called his Silvally back and sent his next pokemon. "Lucario, we need to win this!"

Hau called his Heatran back and shouted. "Decidueye lets go!"

The Decidueye prepared as Selene called the Salazzle and Hitmonlee back. "FUMESA, KICKER, COME BACK! SIDNEY, CHALM, LETS DO THIS!"

The Pelipper flapped and the Heliolisk let loose his frill.

A drizzle poured in; Selene shouted. "SIDNEY HURRICANE THAT DECIDUEYE. CHALM KNOCK THAT VAPOREON OUT WITH A THUNDER. FLO MOON BLAST THAT LUCARIO!"

The Heliolisk shot electricity into the rain cloud and knocked the Vaporeon out, Gladion pressed his hand's together in unison with his Lucario in preparation. "Knock that Heliolisk out with an aura sphere!"

The Heliolisk was shot by the super effective blast and into a pillar k.o! The Pelipper flapped his wings and blew the Decidueye for super effective damage.

Hau posed like a blooming flow. "Decidueye use BLOOM DOOM!"

The Decidueye was bathed in strange light and used the force of nature to shot down on the Pelipper. Lillie called her Vaporeon back. "Shockum's now is our chance!"

A Raichu entered and charged up. Selene called the Heliolisk back and kissed the ball. "You done well. AVARICE, WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING!" A Sableye entered the battle, snickering maliciously as his gem eyes glowed.

Gladion ordered. "Lucario, use extreme speed on that Pelipper!"

The Lucario rushed into the Pelipper and sent it to the ground for a k.o, Selene activated her keystone. "AVARICE, MEGA EVOLVE AND SHADOW CLAW THAT DECIDUEYE!"

The Sableye glowed energy, his ruby chest twitched as the rest of the body took a more menacing form; his eyes glowed ruby red and his chest ruby burst out to increase in size, the Sableye hid behind the gem.

Lillie posed like a thunderbolt and ordered. "Shockums, GIGA VOLT HAVOC THAT PRIMARINA!"

The Raichu was bathed in strange light and shot an intense thunderbolt at the Primarina; knocking her out as the Sableye giggled, leaped from the ruby and clawed into the Decidueye for a k.o.

Gladion and Lillie nodded to each other. "Lucario, use flash cannon and do not give up!"

Lillie pointed at the Sableye. "Shockum's again!"

The Lucario and Raichu shot together as the Sableye hid behind the ruby; it cringed in pain as Selene ordered. "NEVER GIVE UP, KNOCK OFF THAT RAICHU!"

The Sableye swatted at the Raichu as Gladion pounded his fist for a "CORK SCREW CRASHER!" The Sableye hid and was drilled across the floor for a k.o!

Trainer Selene was defeated.

The red haze faded and Selene realized what happened, she called the Sableye back and was shaking to even stand up from the guilt. "Oh my... I am so sorry... what came into my.."

The Hoopa began to grow larger and tossed a ring under Selene's feet. "I'm Hoopa of my word, now get out of here I don't need you anymore!"

The ring glowed blue under Selene; her look of confusion turned into one of shock as she was attempted to call to her friends before falling in.

The group felt an intense wave pulse across the room, Hoopa transformed into his unbound form; he gave a deep menacing laugh. "HA HA HA! HOOPA IS FREE!"

He heard a clapping in the corner and appreciated the audience; Hoopa saw the trainers heal their pokemon and smiled with his rows of teeth. "Now for you to know what you are up against!"

Hoopa tossed four rings in front of them; behind the four rings were flashing dots. One is dots in a hexagon pattern, one in a dark orange H pattern, one in yellow cross shape pattern and the last one had white dot's in a line leading to a collection of dots glowing. Emerging was a steel statue with long arms that walked out of the hoop, a rock like statue that slowly stomped out, an ice like statue that slide out. Finally a large white statue with yellow shoulders covered in moss, it's head being yellow, its feet moss, at his sides look like three sets of eyes, orange at the top, blue in the middle and grey at the bottom gave an intense stomp.

Mew glared and meowed, Hoopa answered him in a bellowing laugh. "Why I am doing this? Because you four had been a thorn at my side and I want some entertainment from you before I send you all the way back to Alola. The fun really began when that kid was switched for the other; Regigigas, Registeel, Regirock, Regice get em!" The Regi's dots glowed red as the battle began.

Vs the Legendary Titans!

Hau sent out his Raichu. "These guys look serious, go Raichu!"

Lillie shouted. "Shockums lets do this!"

Gladion flinched before he posed. "What are... Lucario, let's take them down!"

Lillie was the first to order. "Shockum's use thunder wave on that Regigigas, Isaac use shadow ball on the Regirock!" The Raichu charged up a wave at the slowly starting Regigigas, Regice leaped in the way and took the paralysis.

Hau ordered. "Raichu thunderbolt that Regirock!"

The Alolan Raichu and Mew shot at the Regirock as Gladion ordered. "Aura sphere that Registeel!" The Lucario charged an aura sphere at the Registeel that charged, took the super effective damage and slammed its arm at the Lucario for super effective damage. The Regirock stomped at the ground and caused a stone edge to erupt underneath the Alolan Raichu, he dodged; Regice struggled to move as Regigigas focused his attention on Lillie's Raichu and had her in a crush grip.

Lillie ordered as she saw her Raichu gasping from the pressure. "Shockums use thunder wave on that Regigigas now you are in range... then get out of there!"

The Raichu shot a volt into the Regigigas's arm, causing itt to twitch backwards in paralysis and let the Raichu go.

Hau ordered as he lick his lips in temptation. "Thunder bolt that Regirock again!" The Alolan Raichu shot at the Regirock, causing it struggle in paralysis.

Gladion shouted. "Flash cannon that Regice, then focus on avoiding that Registeel!" The Lucario shot into the Regice for super effective damage, it shot an ice beam back; leaving Lucario vulnerable for Registeel to use another hammer arm for a k.o.

Gladion called the Lucario back and tossed a pokeball. "Porygon-Z its your move!"

Hau took a great ball and tossed it at the Regirock. "Go great ball!" The ball took the Regirock in and fell to the floor.

Shake... pop!

The Regirock struggled to move, Gladion glared at Hau in question. "What are you doing?!"

Hau stared determined. "I want to see if these are even pokemon."

Mew glowed in telepathy as he shot a thunder wave to paralyze the Registeel. "Strange as they are, yes they are pokemon. They are normally sealed away by people because of their power."

Lillie looked at Mew and asked. "And Regigigas?"

The Mew shivered. "Regigigas, we either need to knock the three out or catch them before he gets his act together... he is their king for a reason!"

Hoopa laughed on his throne. "Why you think I picked these guys! They would protect the big guy!"

Lillie asked as she tossed a great ball at Registeel. "Where did you get them from?"

Hoopa shrugged as he didn't care that Registeel was dragged in the ball. " Some place called Almia! They been sealed away so they never had a chance to really get out." The great ball shook.

Shake...shake...shake... click!

Hoopa's arrogant smirk faded. "Okay girly, what are you even going to do with them?"

Lillie puffed up her cheeks and placed her hands over her hips. "We know places on Alola where they won't cause any harm and get all the free time they would want!"

Gladion's determined glare didn't fade as he ordered his Porygon-Z to use dark pulse on the Regice for a flinch. "Where?"

Lillie raised four fingers. "Akala has a place for Registeel, Ula'ula for Regice and Poni for Regirock... we need to talk to Regigigas afterwards. Shockums thunderbolt Regigigas!"

The Raichu shot into the Regigigas, it struggled to move.

Gladion asked more as he tossed a dusk ball at the Regice. "What will happen if they were just knocked..."

Hoopa interrupted him. "I tend to put things back where they were when they served their use!"

The dusk ball engulfed the Regice.

Shake... pop!

Regice broke out and shot an ice beam at the Porygon-Z, Gladion ordered. "Another dark pulse... then we should capture it, no sense it them being sealed away for all eternity."

Hau tossed a dusk ball at the Regirock.

Shake... pop!

The Regirock broke out and used stone edge on the Alolan Raichu, Hau tossed a pokeball; it engulfed the Regirock and fell on the floor.

Shake...shake...shake... click!

Hau smiled until the Regigigias knocked his Raichu out with a knock off, Gladion kept his pose as he tossed a dusk ball at Regice; it let loose a whistle. It shook long before giving a click!

Lillie was left with the Regigigas. "Shockums, two more thunderbolt and we should start capturing Regigigas! Isaac keep an eye on that Hoopa!"

The Regigigas was shot back and struggled to move, another had it nearly about to fall backwards. Regigigias's arm ignited and punched the Raichu for a knock out, it began to get it's act together.

Lillie called the Raichu back sent out her Vaporeon. "Lola, keep yourself up. We need to catch Regigigas!" Hau tossed a dusk ball, it engulfed the Regigigas in a shroud before bursting, it crush gripped the Vaporeon. Gladion tossed a dusk ball of his own to break the Regigigas's grasp. Shake... shake... pop!

The Regigigas stomped the ground to knock both the Vaporeon and Porygon-Z with an earthquake.

Lillie tossed a fast ball. "Go fast ball!" The Regigigas was dragged in another ball, it fell to the floor.

Shake...shake...shake...click!

Hoopa laughed arrogantly as two of his arms adjusted the hoopa ring. "Congratulation's on catching those four, now lets see how you handle the Mega La..."

The Kartana noticed Gladion was about to toss a timer ball at the Hoopa and rushed to take the hit, it was dragged in and quickly broke out.

Hoopa gritted his teeth. "What are you doing?! I have them under control, just watch."

The Kartana refused to back away, Lillie saw her chance and ordered. "Isaac, use thunder wave on that Kartana!" The Mew glowed and paralyzed the Kartana, Hoopa was about to toss a ring to get his friend out when Lillie tossed a beast ball. It dragged the Kartana in and landed on the floor.

Shake...shake...shake... click!

Hoopa glared furiously as a hand emerged from the ring to reach for the beast ball, Lillie shouted. "Isaac use shadow ball!"

The Mew shot the hand to send it back into the ring; Hoopa gritted his teeth as Mew glowed a telepathic message. "Your game is over... just give it up!"

Hoopa growled. "Oh no, I am not losing that guy over this!"

Hoopa's remaining five arms went into a series of five rings, six rings surrounded the Mew and began to pummel him in a hyper space fury for a k.o!

Lillie was about to call the Mew back when Hoopa yanked it into Hoopa ring. He growled at Lillie and had a Hoopa ring prepared under the hand holding the Mew. "Unless you want this guy dropped in the middle of Almia, which is far away from Alola... you are to give me that beast ball!"

Lillie asked. "You... actually care about that Kartana?"

Hoopa refused to tell them. "There is many things I have... that guy is one of the few things I don't have."

Gladion scoffed. "Yeah an Ultra Beast..."

Hoopa glared at Gladion and was about to toss a ring at him. "Yo... Go ho..." A master ball was tossed from a corner of the throne room, Hoopa turned around flinching from where it came from. "Wha..."

The ball tapped, Hoopa was dragged in and it's prison fell on the throne.

Shake...shake...shake... click!

The Mew fell to the ground as a familiar boy rushed it to hold him mid fall.

The trio of trainers were startled at the face, Elio with a very broken frown. "I don't even know anymore. It's going to be okay."

The Mew meowed sweetly as Elio went to pick the master ball from the throne; he looked at the three and took a deep breath as he approached. "I turned on you all for a petty, selfish and stupid reason... you got every right to hate me now but I'm sorry for doing that."

Elio handed the Mew back to Lillie and was about to take his leave before she stopped him. "Elio, who is Nebby?"

The boy answered in a sigh. "A Lunala..."

Lillie nodded, Elio realized where he is and colasped; Hau and Gladion rushed in to lift him up and get him to sit up.

Gladion spoke calmly. "Your home now... that is what matters."

Elio was about to smile. "... I can't believe this."

Hau was about to approach to hug Elio until he saw the Prison Bottle and picked it up. "We need to gather the pokemon we captured, then we need to talk to Hoopa." Elio nodded in agreement and waited for his friends to clean up, Lillie gave the Mew a revive and kissed it on the forehead before calling it back in the master ball. "Isaac, it's going to be okay."

The Mew smiled as he was called in. "It will."

With the master ball containing Hoopa in Elio's hand, he tossed it as Hau prepared.

The Hoopa was glaring at Elio in anger and asked. "... My other timeline self forgot where he was sending you back to and we both completely forgot about the master ball we stole did we?"

Elio nodded. "You planned so much that you eventually messed up somewhere to the point you couldn't plan your way out of a mess."

Hau faced the bottle at the Hoopa and drained him of his power, turning it back to its confined form; Hau felt the dark power as he corked the bottle back up. Hoopa found the trainers looking down on him and prepared for a trip back.

Elio asked. "The game is over, you are going to send us back to Lumious City in Kalos and we are going to have a long talk!"

Hoopa gritted his teeth and tossed a Hoopa ring. "Fine!"

The ring glowed purple; Hau was the first to jump in, Gladion stared until he was sure Elio would be fine and jumped in, Lillie hugged Elio before going through the ring. "Welcome back."

Elio was certain his friends crossed the ring had the Hoopa follow him. "We go in at the same time... don't try anything."

Hoopa laughed in sarcasm. "That wouldn't get me anything." Both trainer and pokemon jumped in at the same time, leaving the realm in the void.
