During a shining morning, Silver waited at the port of Haehae City for a boat to let out an individual that would be ready to yell at him. "Silver, why the heck did you run off like that!"

The man saw Ethan charging at him, Silver cracked his knuckles like he was expecting a fist fight. "I needed to settle things with my old man, he didn't just walk out after I refused to go back, he left reality, literally! I might have a contact that would explain it better if you are interested in it!"

Ethan didn't want to know as a scolding voice yelled. "Ethan Gold, this is the last time I carry all these bags!"

The man cringed and turned around to find Whitney carry more than her fair share of cargo, Copper was in awe of Alola, unaware of her parents about to argue. Ethan took a deep breath and was ready to stand up to himself. "Silver left to do something stupid and I wanted to give him a piece of my mind!"

The rival found his chance and gave Ethan a nuggie. "Your a bigger idiot for saying that in front of me!"

Ethan was corner as Copper asked. "Ma, you know where we are staying for the week?"

Whitney took the receipt for the resort to the north with her teeth. "MHM!"

She glared at Ethan to help her as Indigo walked out with Red and a woman with long brown hair, green eyes and a green dress that summed the region in one phrase. "A gorgeous place!"

Indigo agreed and held onto a Squirtle's hand as he mumbled. "Pretty, is uncle and aunt coming?"

The woman was about to answer as a familiar voice asked. "So sis, what you think already?"

The woman turned around to find a brown hair man in black clothes leaving with a woman in a blue dress and brown hair. "I love it already Blue! Thank you for bringing everyone, including your wife Leaf!"

Leaf gave a small smile and was in silence as she let the sea breeze through her hair, by her side was a black hair girl at the age of ten in cyan clothes. Red gave a silent stare in a plan, Ethan agreed and asked the man's wife. "Daisy, once we settle at the resort, we have free reign to do what we want! You mind helping us find the Champ of this region, this will be a good get together!"

Daisy was about to answer as a brown hair woman in overalls exit to find herself amazed at the pokemon in a pokedex. "Wow! These pokemon can be good for breeding!"

Silver cringed at the one person who's voice matters to him. "Lyra... I can explain!"

The woman asked. "Did you get it out of your system? You told him what you wanted to say after all of what he tried to talk you into?"

Silver nodded, Lyra asked. "Do you want to talk about where all of it is heading? Because it we need to look at tomorrow better!"

The man answered like he wanted to keep acting of spite. "...Once we settle down, because I am getting tired of running from it!"

Leaf agreed and flashed a malicious smile at Blue, causing him to blush. "I... our vacation starts now! Lets get booked before we go crazy on the island! Cyan, anything you want to do?"

Cyan knew what her mother had planned and answered in a city accent. "Get to exploring this island before that happens!"

At Aether Paradise.

Elio and Gladion glared annoyed at Lusamine over a topic at hand. The Alolan Champ growled. "Of course those guys will want to know about Eclipse and where he is! Do I have to tell them no, Eclipse is unwell and we finally have him in a place we can help him? If those guys take him away, they will do anything but help him just to figure out what he is, people taking him apart is what started this mess in the first place!"

Lusamine listened to a good idea and chose to leave the question as it is. "You answered that solution yourself."

Gladion agreed and focused on another matter. "It has been nine years since they bothered us and all kinds of activity have occurred that I need to be personal about due to how much of it was of MY approval. That Ultra Beast out break and Rainbow Rocket drew them in like Wingulls to chips!"

Elio turned around to leave. "Where are they? If they are heading here, I am going to personally tell them why all the beast balls, why the study on the inner workings of Ultra Space are back, why this is still a problem and more importantly, why they should get lost!?"

Gladion asked as Wicke arrived with a note. "Why have all of those things happened?"

Elio answered bluntly. "The beast balls are in case we have another Ultra Beast episode, which Eclipse brought to this region and even with all of that, it was barely enough to get them off of Alola! In addition those balls are in case we EVER have to deal with a Shadow Ultra Beast again, those things are much worse and by that point we will know that some psycho is pulling the strings on wanting people dead!"

Wicke agreed as the man continued. "Ultra Space Wilds and the research that I started on is for when we have faller pokemon show up, that way we can prepare if a legendary pokemon capable of blowing up the world is going to show up at our door step. Kyogre being a pokemon that did show up and even tamed, Levi can't really control his power and has to stay in his ball or let out in Sophocle's expansion to the Pelago that is being made. Lastly, it took forever for them to leave us alone and we all can agree that we don't need them hounding us again when all of these deeds, on a grand scale will help everyone," He exhaled and saw the notice. "Miss Wicke, please tell me they sent someone that will listen to us?"

Wicke presented the notice, Gladion relaxed on seeing the agent coming. "Anabel is a reasonable woman. She is going to be here soon?"

Wicke raised two fingers in the time. "She will be here shortly and it will take a few days to manage things with her."

Elio adjusted his hat and felt it as good of a time. "I had to get back to work by three days anyways, Gough caused a busy day it seems like ANOTHER thing is coming by."

Lusamine rolled her finger like it was an endless loop. "If it makes you feel better, Ula'ula and the Aether House missed you and once you finish with Interpol, you will be able to continue on your break."

Elio agreed to the loop and left, Gladion growled and had something in his mind as he confessed. "Just when I want to go off this region, I'll be out of here once Anabel gets what she wants, Wicke, would you assist Elio and make sure he doesn't go over board?"

The scientist saluted and left with the man, leaving Lusamine to fall on her desk and to be soothed by a recovering Herdier. "Its always busy!"

Down at the Aether Labs

Elio hid a small blush at a woman at her thirties that was in a black tuxedo, her purple hair was in a pony tail and she smiled at a resourceful man as she gave the Alolan greeting. "Alola Champion! Long time no see," Elio gave the Alolan greeting back and felt like he had a better chance on voicing himself. "Miss Anabel, I assume you are here because of the Ultra Beast incident that became apparent and is honestly more crazy than the first time you were here?"

Anabel nodded and had a small file of reports to sign. "That is the tip of the ice burg of what my superiors wanted to know and potential violations. Beast balls, research on Ultra Space... particularly an Ultra Space Wilds that you are responsible for reporting to the Aether Foundation on, the incident with Team Rocket along with the fight against that mysterious pokemon that we didn't report to them about. Necrozma was something that only you, me and Looker had known for ten years and we still do not want to file a report on him. Is Necrozma neutralized and he it being cared for?"

Elio nodded. "Eclipse is captured again by my wife and once she starts talking to him about what we are doing, we can begin healing him. The beast balls are needed due to a report you probably had four years ago about a monstrous man that used a shadow Poipole on Agate Village in addition to weaponizing shadow synergy stones and a poke ball that should never exist. If another psycho tries to create shadow pokemon again, especially a shadow Ultra Beast, those things need to be captured and healed as soon as possible, Ultra Space Wilds is due to a category of fallers that are pokemon, this includes legendary pokemon like Groudon or Kyogre... very dangerous pokemon that if left on their own will destroy the world."

He inhaled as Anabel written down her report. "That would explain everything, you are here because you were looking for work... any additional details we need to know?"

Elio nodded. "I am more working under Gladion and specifically him, contrary to what it might look like. I'm the one that keeps people in line so don't have then trying anything suspicious without anyone knowing, this especially includes Lusamine when she does questionable things to help people or partakes in things that might prove off setting to actually help anyone. I am not listing them since they are personal and resolved. Any further reports you need?"

Anabel had one more as she was ready to leave. "I want to have a visual report on Necrozma as well as talk to those involved in stopping Team Rocket, do you know a secluded location?"

Elio does and opened the lab door. "At my house, Lillie and Gladion know a bit more on the details if you want me to. Miss, Wicke, is that appropriate?"

The scientist approved. "I will tell Master Gladion, thank you for addressing this calmly, call us when you have finished business and we will see in a few days!"

Elio felt like he wanted to lay down somewhere and smiled. "I'll see you soon!"

At the Champion's backyard.

Lillie gave Tammy a warning about a particular pokemon she is letting out, with a Lunala sleeping snug, a Solgaleo staring at a luxury ball, it was one of secrecy. "Eclipse as you know was responsible for that Ultra Beast outbreak a couple days ago and we don't know what will set him off."

Tammy agreed and sat down by the porch with a judgemental Mew in her arms. "I know, but I want to see what this pokemon's deal is... this is also a pokemon you went through a lot to capture. I promise I won't get in the way or say anything since this guy sounds like a he still has a couple screws loose."

Lillie understood and opened the luxury ball to let out Necrozma, it looked to be in a placid state as the human spoke in a lecture like tone. "Eclipse, I know a lot has happened to have affected your mental state. From the long time in agony, to your... I hope short time as a shadow pokemon, do you know that you are not well?"

Necrozma stared and nodded, Lillie saw progress and continued. "This is the first sign of progress, but you still need a scolding. You misinterpreted what the Ultra Recon Squad were trying to do for you and went on a rampage thinking only about you and how in that misguided mind, thought that would help you. What did that result into?"

The Lunala and Solgaleo stared at Necrozma, it placed his arms together like it was something he should have known at the time, Lillie answered. "It made things more difficult for us when we had to guess where you were going and how it became harder for us to actually get you that help, you kept putting all of us in danger and it resulted in us having to fight you to protect home. When we did, you attempted to repeat the same bad choices and expected any of them to result in anything different, what you did before that Shadow Mew came to attack your mind was inexcusable behavior and even after we got Nebby away from you. You ran rather than letting me capture you, it made all of us worried, some of us were more worried that you were going to do this again one day rather than your well being."

Necrozma listened to the lecture and gave a faint shine of light as Lillie establish the first rule of healing. "You will have to be in the ball when Elio and I are busy, but we will have you with either Solgaleo, Nebby or Crepu, under our supervision! If we can know you, then we will advance further, understood?"

Necrozma nodded as the door opened, Lillie turned around to find her husband with a woman she was familiar with. "Miss Anabel, what are you doing here?"

Anabel saw progress and swayed her pony tail. "Just observing something, Necrozma's whereabouts are best kept unknown if this is what I am seeing."

She saw the wedding rings on the adults and addressed Lillie. "Miss Sun if I am correct. I will report to my superiors why the Beast Balls, your husbands involvement with Ultra Space related research are considered necessary for the greater good. Now, what has happened with Team Rockets activities?"

Swoop! Gladion arrived in the backyard with a Charizard and gave a sharp glare to Necrozma, Lillie knew enough was enough and called the prism pokemon back. "Eclipse, that is enough for now, we will continue therapy shortly. Brother, we need to address the details of what happened two days ago."

Gladion allowed it. "Let us begin by going back a couple months ago, that is when that man got the idea and planned all of it!"

Lillie agreed and told Anabel of the hacking on Festival Plaza, how it was related to a master ball and how the hacking on the Aether Foundation's data banks. Anabel analyzed and recorded. "By the time this was given to Looker, it was too late for us to do much besides investigate." Tammy voiced what she knew. "It was a black haired, nerdy woman that has pretty good hacking skills to take over Festival Plaza, but she probably did the smart thing and went back into hiding once me and a few others took her down." Lillie found it logical. "Just because Giovanni is in a state where multiple realities are open to him doesn't mean he would abandon this one, once he has enough power... he will come back. His plan focused on raising a Cosmog he found into a full grown Lunala, using her power to obtain a Mewtwo from Ultra Space wilds, then he attacked the Aether Foundation for its technology and knowledge on other worlds to... much like the last group of people to have done this, obtain an army of Ultra Beasts for his own use."

Gladion helped continue. "The mole who sided with his is punished appropriately, so we will focus on Giovanni. Using Lunala's power, he incapacitated Lusamine to try to force her into a more willing servant for him and to form his organization, he summoned crime lords from many universes. Those where they were successful with their plans. Team Aqua, Team Magma," Elio voiced his. "Team Galactic!"

Gladion continued to get the image of two particular madman out. "Team Flare and Team Plasma. Archie and Maxie were well intended fools that caused a cataclysm, Lysander was about to commit genocide on the world," Elio wanted to skip thinking about Cyrus and described the mans goal. "The guy in charge of Team Galactic was about as crazy and had reality recreated. Then my wife fought Ghetsis who is about as much of a monster as we heard of, he tried to attack her directly with his pokemon and he threatened a Herdier close to us to get us to surrender!"

Anabel's mouth was wide open. "Goodness!"

Tammy agreed. "Someone that horrible actually exist?!"

Lillie nodded and felt more disturbed. "We have heard that Ghetsis has done worse things and it showed when that was a point of no return... brother, would it be appropriate if I say it?"

Gladion let her. "After what he has done to N and everyone around him. It would be appropriate."

Lillie found the perfect title to describe Ghetsis and took a deep breath. "Someone that evil, who relishes in that evil and seeks nothing more but to ruin the lives of others... is by definition, the Devil! Giovanni may have started that episode, have hindered our attempt at stopping Eclipse in an easier way and have organized horrible things himself, but he wasn't the most evil person we encountered in our lives."

Lillie felt kicking in her stomach, she whimpered and whispered to her children. "It is okay for Mommy to talk about this, to prevent another person that terrible from hurting anymore people. Then there was another villain that none of us expected... but also needed to be stopped."

Elio agreed and wiped tears from his eyes. "XD-002... or what was left of him, it was the thing responsible for Eclipse going nuts on Nebby, caused a Haxorus we knew to go nuts and tried to mess Lillie's mind up. We all saw to that Mew having the rest he needed. Tammy, XD-002 was the result of a group of very evil people doing messed up things to Isaac to the point where he became completely insane and an embodiment of evil. It gotten so bad that Isaac tried to kill himself with a shadow explosion and would have done it if Lillie did not use that master ball."

Tammy's eyes widened, she held the Mew tight as Gladion patted Elio on the back. "Come back to us, it is the past now and we to get through it. Once we defeated that thing, Lillie confronted Giovanni and beaten him." Anabel pieced the rest of the story together. "That was when Colress's machine worked to expelled Team Rocket out and restore that Manor back to what it was, Giovanni has been driven off and now life is returning to normal?"

Elio answered yes as Gladion and Tammy looked the other way, Anabel had a satisfactory conclusion and smiled. "That is all we need to know. Gladion, Interpol would still like a few things to discuss with the Aether Foundation, but it is relatively minor and involves the specifics of Ultra Space Wilds."

Gladion forbid it. "Those pokemon are fallers and the majority of us would rather they adjust and spend their lives free, rather than being studied on, things like this is where I take charge in!"

The agent closed her eyes and found it preferable. "Aside from being a faller, these pokemon are identical to their kind, they would be much happier with a trainer or regaining their lives in the wild. That much we can look the other way if we have an example of one from that place," Elio felt like he needed a nap and knew of one. "At the conservation deck is a shiny Lombre that was wandering at Malie Garden aimlessly two weeks ago and we haven't had any idea where he came from. You will find it at the section that looks like a swamp which is at the north eastern side, we also have a Sigilyph that was found flying around a dessert and it was confused at what it was watching over. That one showed up three weeks ago and we had less luck, they will be evidence enough that YES the Aether Foundation is doing something wormhole related, but the reasons behind it are too different from a bog standard Ultra Beast fiasco."

Anabel thanked Elio for the information and addressed to Gladion. "With that information and a latter inspection, you will have no further problems with Interpol unless we have word of Giovanni, a particular legendary that falls into this world or another hint about a shadow pokemon uprising."

Gladion was ready to get up with another ordeal finished. "Please let us know if either of those two factors come up. Do you need me to be here?"

Anabel didn't as Elio heard a sweet whisper, the agent answered with a smile. "No need, I wish to talk to Mr and Ms Sun about something."

Tammy thought of her own plan and asked Gladion. "You mind if I come with you? I have a few things to ask."

Gladion guessed what as the Mew wanted to follow. "Fine, I been having something similar planned anyways."

Both left, Lillie asked Anabel. "You are a telepath you asked Elio and me about things happening between us... obviously with Daphne and Leon growing in me, they have."

The agent marveled at the growth since last she saw them as Elio confessed to the thoughts Anabel read. "Our sex life is pretty standard save for ways we spice it up, how have you been doing?"

Anabel answered with a professional smile. "More of my memories came back, during off work I run a place at the Battle Frontier in Hoenn... I should get a good word in about you. Care to demonstrate?"

Elio readied a dream ball and answered. "Yes, Collector, lets do this!"

During the battle.

Gladion, Tammy and Mew were at Iki Town to discuss their next plan. "You spent a whole lot of time talking about getting off of Alola and to another region. You made that decision? Because I heard what you called Lillie," Tammy felt weight holding her down and nodded, hesitate at first and then giving a determined frown. "If I don't get off this region, where would any of my progress have gone to? I plan to go to Johto so I can catch a few pokemon for the contest and then use everything I learned from here to start my carrier as a coordinator! I even heard of the pokeathlon that MIGHT help exercise the mind, you want to get off this region yourself?"

Gladion posed and answered. "Yes, but not to Johto... Kanto is right next door so if I finish... maybe I might give that region a visit. Once you get on that boat, you are free from everything this region has to hold you down baring the Z moves."

The Mew sensed heated emotions at the house afar as Tammy felt herself crying from something. "I...I know! Elio and Lillie have given me so much in these three months... and this is how I repay them?"

Gladion heard bitter crying forming and tapped her on the shoulder. "Your making your own destiny by your own choice, no one else has any say in it and that is what those two are coming to terms with themselves. You shown that you can live out on your own and it isn't like your completely cut off from-" He snapped his fingers, Tammy knew what she missed. "I need to get their phone number, then we can chat every once in a while! Your going to Kanto to battle the gyms?"

Gladion smiled as he sent out Silvally and Manaphy. "We have been at a brick wall with Elio for nine years over that title and I don't even care about that anymore. He can have it while I make my own mark elsewhere!"

Manaphy asked. "When are we going to Kanto papa?"

Gladion answered with a dramatic point into the sky. "The morning after tomorrow! That is when our journey begins," A childish voice asked as a feminine presence tried to stop her. "Going on a boat without telling anyone?"

Gladion turned around to find Conia waddling and Mallow trying to teach her child manners. "Conia darling, it is impolite to talk to strangers like that!"

"But it would be strange for Gladion to disappear like that!" Mew sensed a familiar mindset coming, Hau with a wide smile. "Do you want us to see you off?"

Gladion refused and blushed. "I don't need that, I'm going to let a few people know where I am going before I head off. When I come back, you and me owe each other a battle!"

Hau took that challenge as the Mew whistled to the house, Tammy found two days to be appropriate themselves. "I'm going to let a few of my friends know I am heading out of Alola, if I look back I won't be able to go forward."

She called a pager for Charizard and gave her goodbyes. "Isaac, you want to come along or do you have something else to do?"

The Mew glowed his eyes to answer. "I got something else to do, I'll see you later cous!"

Tammy got on her Charizard for flight as Mew flew to the south west, Gladion took a deep breath and who he has to confront on the matter. "It has to be done, Hau, you want to hang out tomorrow after I finish business?"

Hau answered with a cheerful. "I will since we all been serious the last few days!"

At the Champions House an hour later.

Lillie and Anabel were having a zesty tacos as Elio sweated nervously. "Anabel, you are as tough as ever and I am surprised we all agreed to... that after. Any other business you have on Alola?"

Anabel's pony tail was undone to reveal long flowing purple hair, she answered as her mouth was on fire. "*Huff!* The battle tree is opening up and the founders of that facility have made a return," Lillie gasped as Elio smiled in excitement. "Red and Blue?!"

Anabel nodded and watched Elio behave like a kid. "As well as a veteran from Johto, they are all at Akala island and by tomorrow they will begin the battle tree again with some new additions. Including some old veterans making a return, Mr. Sun, it pleases me to know your haven't gotten rusty!"

She took out two passes from her pocket and gave them to the duo. "This is for whenever you visit Hoenn again, the Battle Frontier would like to challenge you!"

Elio and Lillie obtained tickets, the Alolan Champ swallowed hard at what had to be done to obtained these. "And you were called the Salon Maiden? No wonder you were tough as ever," Lillie licked mischievously and winked to Anabel. "If you want to try... that again, you know where to find us."

Elio blushed even more and looked submissive. "Maybe next time I... I-" He stopped looking submissive and gave an assertive frown. "I figure out a way to be on top without having to make either of you feel like you are being teamed up against!"

Lillie laughed like a diva. "Frisky are you? One of us shall be entertained!"

Elio growled rather annoyed. "That isn't what I meant, you told me yourself that I need to stand up for myself in bed and this one was because it was a position we both like."

Lillie was astonished as Anabel shook her head in a major disagreement. "There is no way for that to be, one has to benefit for two."

Lillie agreed and rested her head at her husband's shoulder. "There has to be something we are to agree to or none of us will be happy and it will end in us arguing."

Elio felt himself at peace with the food and agreed. "Which defeats the entire purpose of why we did what we did. Anabel, thank you for coming and being very reasonable with what Interpol wants, if you need me, I'll be at Ula'ula in a couple days!"

A couple hours later during the night.

Lusamine, Mohn and Wicke were at Malie Garden on Gladion's request. They wondered what it was as the man in his twenties arrived to have a more relaxing atmosphere. "Thank you three for coming, Miss Wicke, Father, Mother. I had you three gathered because I want to announce a trip I am going."

Wicke cleaned her glasses in acceptance with no regrets. "You didn't have to ask, you wish to show yourself to the world?"

Gladion nodded and announced which region. "Some of you may be familiar with the Kanto region and Johto is home to many strong trainers, it might be good for my mind if I let myself loose on them. Have some of that experience for more growth."

Mohn knew of some systems implemented and wished his son luck. "That sounds fun, I hope you meet a lot of trainers and pokemon that will be different from Alola!" He realized something specific needs to be said. "Talk to Bill near Cerulian City, he made something not too long ago with a man at Fucshia city that could be worth looking at!"

Gladion was hesitate to plan besides get the badges and tried not to stutter. "If it is related to the Pelago, it will be an improvement over being stuck in the P.C for hours on end!"

Lusamine twiddled her fingers together and kept silent for a moment, she gave a small smile as Gladion made it clear. "There is no telling when I am going to be back or even if I will, if I disappear from Alola shortly, that is where I am going. Mother, I assume your meeting with Anabel went better than planned? Elio told her everything."

Lusamine saw no regrets on her son's face and nodded. "With that approval, Interpol should not disturb us save for... requiring beast balls. Not that those things are expensive these days."

Gladion kept frowning and agreed. "They are not and Alola is returning to its mundane life, thank you for listening," He attempted to keep the conversation alive as Lusamine remembered an important event during the day. "I met that girl I was warned about."

Gladion's frown gotten worse and asked. "Tammy is a smart girl, what happened?"

Wicke answered with the events they saw. "Nothing out of the ordinary, it was a talk about specific species of pokemon found on Alola that are different in places like Kanto and Johto. It seems Tammy wants to catch a Diglett in Kanto one day."

Lusamine remembered, as well as the face of joy, she smiled lightly and imagined who was to thank. "It must be hard for Lillie, taking that girl in and allowing her to go make her own."

Gladion found it to be even more heart wrenching. "They did that for a random girl who had family problems and helped her get out of that toxic environment. That is just over three months, if anyone had doubts in Lillie and Elio being good parents, they don't now. I wonder how they are managing their last night together."

At the Champion's house.

Elio and Lillie watched Tammy talking nonstop to Calcy and Carby about the many places in Johto she heard about, from Ecruteak city, Goldenrod City and Mahogany town. "I'm going to head towards Goldenrod City first and make that into the main place I will use outside of practice and contests." Lillie was tempted to list them as Sheryl and Haley watched, Calcy was about to say something when she realized a particular pokemon that would be fun to catch. "You should find a Venonat, they can be so pretty when they evolve!"

Carby growled and gave Tammy a small glare. "I don't think she would be ditching us for something like that! You have a main goal for that region or something?" Tammy nodded as the grown ups left. "Yes, be a coordinator!"

Outside, Haley and Sheryl were relaxed as they gave the duo a list of instructions regarding their adopted kids. Haley was strict and blunt. "They have a schedule to practice for when they become trainers, don't let them be up past ten o'clock and we know that your house rules are not ours, expect them to not be use to it!"

Elio understood and shrugged. "It isn't as laid back as you think, the basement is off limits for a lot of reasons. Makuta maybe friendly, but he is also pretty scary, there is also a house rule regarding to barging in the room when a hat is on the door... they are to knock!"

Sheryl had the idea and gave her partner a peace in mind. "This is kind of their last night hanging out, they are in good hands. Champ, Professor, you helped a good kid!"

Haley agreed and was ready to leave for the night. "I know, we will pick the two up tomorrow after they say their goodbyes. Mr and Ms Sun, we are counting on you to keep them safe!"

The two couples waved goodbye and found the trio watching a documentary about Drillbur and Excadrill, Elio went to the kitchen to prepare a dinner suitable for a sleep over as Lillie took in what was to come tomorrow. Pew! A Mew hugged Lillie from behind, causing her to sniffle and ask. "Isaac, do you mind if you come with me, I need someone to talk to!"

Tammy overheard and saw the woman's tears. "Mom, whats wrong?"

Lillie's crestfallen behavior became worse as she smiled. "N...nothing, enjoy your time!" The girl watched Lillie leave for the back room as Calcy found the name sweet. "You called Miss Lillie that? Cute!"

Carby seen and heard stranger things. "We call Miss Haley and Miss Sheryl Mom too many times and it is weird with how it normally is."

Tammy stared at the back room and didn't find it that bad. "The two that adopted you are lesbians and they are good people, this place has a lot of good memories."

Elio returned to the living room and had a luxury ball ready, letting out a Magearna. "I hope you all like pasta. I need to be constant on the stirring, so Aigis is here to keep you all company. So Calcy, Carby, wishing those five months get by sooner?"

The two kids nodded, they are more excited than ever to become trainers and face the island challenge, they asked in unison. "Do you have Kalden out? He is awesome!"

Elio sent out the Silvally without question and asked. "Did Haley tell you a bit why looking for this pokemon is a bad idea?"

Carby lowered his head in regret. "She told us that the pokemon were made to stop dangerous pokemon like those Ultra Beasts and that none of them were treated nice... at all!"

The dragon Silvally snorted smoke in annoyance as Elio agreed. "While I like to know where that third one went to, that doesn't mean it is something to talk about lightly. Still, it is a good idea to explore the unknown reaches of the world, you never know what might be discovered."

BEEP!

Elio left to cooking with parting words. "Expand your mind and think outside the box, you might be able to surprise people with what you bring to battle."

Calcy asked while tapping her head. "A pokemon not seen around here? Like that Meowth your mom has?"

Carby tapped his hands together. "Or a bald Diglett!"

Tammy had an objective she wanted to do. "Those Digletts trade steel type for more speed, dad, are Digletts found in Johto?...If you have even been to that region?"

Elio blinked and didn't remember seeing a Diglett in the wild. "I been to Johto, but I haven't seen that pokemon. I am not going to tell you what I have found, that is up to you to decide. Kanto has a cave called Diglett Cave that... obviously has those pokemon."

Tammy snapped her fingers. "That is kind of a bummer, I was hoping my Dugtrio gets a buddy," She shifted disappointment to an adventurous smirk. "That is why I have to explore... is Mom going to be okay?" Elio imagined what was going on and sighed. "When I get the sauce stirred, I'm going to check up on her. Don't stop talking and get ideas flowing!" Elio left the two artificial pokemon at the presence of the children, the guests petted the Silvally gently as Tammy sat near the Magearna to enjoy the.

In the master bed room.

Lillie finished a long cry and heard a door open up, she saw her husband trying to tough it out and approached to embrace her. "Tomorrow is going to be tough, Tammy and her friends are talking about Johto, wondering about the kind of pokemon that might be found. Are you sure you want to see her off tomorrow?"

Lillie nodded and hugged her husband back. "We need to make sure she is heading off, there is no going back and it is always going to be sad."

She caught the smell of tamato sauce and asked. "What are you making?"

Elio spun his finger around. "Something I prepared the other day and with the guest we might have used them up, raviolis! We just need to toughen it out until tomorrow," Lillie relaxed and let the rhythm of her heart take her as the Mew said something to her, the woman agreed. "Things won't last forever and we are to move on," She laid on her side and closed her eyes. "To think soon this house will be just as lively again. We still need to make the baby room, but which needs to be emptied?"

Elio thought of his old room as Lillie thought of her old room, the woman yawned in peace. "Your room still has all those games and my old plushie collection can be moved."

Elio frowned at the later choice. "Maybe but it took a while to get those plush toys on the shelves in that way... your sure about that?"

Lillie answered on letting her mind drift. "Those can always be rearranged, those games are still needed in case we have that gu-" She bolted herself awake as Elio was on it. "I'll get the console... could you do me a favor in the kitchen while I am busy?"

Lillie answered. "I'll stir the sauce!"

The next morning.

Gladion packed the essentials and rubbed his cheek, allowing Madison to use his house for the time is a calculated risk in mantaining things should he be gone for much longer. Silvally, Manaphy, Lucario and Latios finished helping with the bags, the trainer thanked the Latios and had instructions for him. "I may not be using you that often, but I'll call on you when it is needed... or if I need someone to talk to regarding something hard to understand, you have been a voice of reason."

The Latios smiled as the door opened to a pokemon Ranger smiling even wider. "I love it when I teach them how to surf! If you want to talk to someone, you know who to call."

Madison kissed Gladion on the same cheek as before and caused him to blush. "I...I will as soon as I land in Kanto and settle down, I might bring something back... if I come back, with Tyranitar, Lucario and Silvally, I need something to compliment a team fitting in a sandstorm and there isn't much on Alola that does. Thank you for assisting me in maintaining home."

He licked his lips, gave into temptation and kissed Madison at her left cheek, causing the ranger to blush. "I think know a pokemon your talking about, if you land on Veridian City, that tunnel will have a pokemon that is nearly as fast as Crobat and handy!"

Gladion gave a small smile and called his assistance back, leaving for the port on Haehae City. Once the boat arrived, he closed his eyes in a pose, there is no turning back and it was time he made a mark for himself out in the world by himself, at the corner of his eye he found three people at the dock that looked like they are hiding a bitter sweet feeling. His his smile shifted into an annoyed for a moment when he saw the three people he talked to the previous night, Wicke, Mohn and Lusamine. He thought if he worded it well, they would not realize what was happening until much later, he wished they stay out of it because they might voice something against the matter. He was about to pull his hood up and sneak to his cabin when he saw the three adults give a wave goodbye, causing Gladion to stop his thought for a moment at the distancing land, gave a wide smile and waved goodbye until he couldn't see them any longer. He went into the cabin in peace and let out Manaphy and Silvally, they found the human in a bright mode and joined him in the bed to play, causing Gladion to groan. "Stop! We are not even close to Kanto yet."

Manaphy asked on seeing the smile. "What happened?"

Gladion answered as he expected others to know soon. "Just some people seeing me off, now. Vermilion City Gym if I recall specializes in electric types, Manaphy, this means that you are not to be out for that one. Silvally," He gave his pokemon the ground memory and saw the brown glow. "They will expect this, but it gives us a type advantage somewhere."

Manaphy bubbled and looked out the window to see a Latias flying by, he waved goodbye as Gladion felt exhausted, he laid down and closed his eyes, feeling his arms wrapped around something or someone, it was round and it smelled like sweat. He opened his eyes to see the back of a black hair woman with two pig tails, the woman snored and he kissed the woman's neck. "...Thank you for coming with me Selene!"

The woman moaned like she was in bliss and turned around to find a smile worth protecting. "Lillie is seeing to Tammy leaving, those two get along. I know a few hot spots in Kanto and I... hope I don't stink as a tour guide," Gladion yawned and was blunt. "It's been years since you been to Kanto and you realize that you don't have much to do while traveling, your sacrificing quite a bit just so I can have that trip."

Selene growled and asked. "Keeping you bound to Alola all miserable while there is a world to make a name for yourself in would be a terrible thing to do, I'm already managing Epiphany and Penio... then I started being a grouch about where you can touch during private time. The rule here, if I start going a bit nuts, that means we need to stop for a moment. Otherwise, this is your adventure."

Gladion didn't care about Selene's informed attitude and kept kissing her neck, he gave a lick that caused the woman to curl her toes and fell asleep, Selene blushed and whispered. "I love you, get that happiness!"

Simultaneously.

Tammy was at Hau'oli's marina when she saw Elio and Lillie looking rather distant, like they are having a constant temptation held in. Calcy and Carby were getting teary eyed and finished their goodbyes. "Go kick some butt out there!" "Show us some ribbons if you come back!"

Tammy had their phone number in her phone and blushed. "Will do."

TOOT TOOT! She heard her boat coming and was ready to go, she swallowed and shook nervously for a moment, gave a determined glare and went in to show her ticket, with Elio and Lillie watching, she knew if she turned back, she would give up on her goal. Once the ticket was inspected, she waited for the boat to arrive and got on without a second thought, she is finally taken her first step off of Alola. She awaited for it to move again and looked back to find her adopted parents and her two friends waving goodbye, she formed bittersweet tears, sent out a Pikachu Belle and waved goodbye until they stopped being visual.

At the dock, Elio and Lillie felt a hint of pride as a feminine voice asked. "It's done? That has to be hard to watch."

The duo turned around to find Haley staring at the boat and trying not to look Lillie in the tearful eyes, Calcy and Carby found their adopted mother understanding that concept, the girl answered. "You do this with pokemon all the time mom, its hard to watch a friend leave."

The boy was even more blunt and felt like something was gone. "Especially if we don't know for sure if they are going to come back or not!" Lillie hid a sob and agreed. "It has been hard and will always be hard, Miss Haley, your children have been very good throughout the slumber party." The children agreed and told what happened. "Elio is a cook and they let us talk for hours!"

The employee wondered what stories were told and winked. "I don't have to go to work until noon, you want to tell me and mama Sheryl the fun you had?"

They nodded in unison and waved the two adults goodbye, Haley addressed to the two grown ups that needed to go lay down. "I'll leave you be, thank you for letting my kids have that last moment with Tammy. I'll see again soon!"

With them gone, Lillie felt her urge to sob over take her, it was a soothing moment to know that they have that girl they met three months ago going out to her dreams.

Elio hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll miss her too, lets go home and enjoy ourselves." Lillie sniffled and whispered. "Lets!" Smooch! Lillie kissed her husband on the lips and held his hand as they journeyed back home.

On the boat heading to Johto.

Tammy laid on a bed in her cabin completely exhausted, the worst part of her journey has begun. Leaving the two who showed her nothing but love, her Pikachu jumped on her lap to ask of something, Tammy agreed as she sent out a Zoroark and Octillery to join in the relaxation. "I wished I met those two sooner, then it could have been longer," She giggled at a plan forming. "Maybe something can be done to bring the contests to Alola... if that can be done, I will be able to actually come back."

The Zoroark snickered at the devious plan as the Octillery latched onto the human's arm, the girl closed her eyes and felt herself crying, the Pikachu had a flash back as the girl comforted her. "I'm happy and sad at the same time, once we make it Johto, I'll tell those two how I appreciate their help." Yawn! "We will talk about potential friends soon and practice later today, see you soon guys!"
