During an average night in a room at the Driftveil hotel, Elio finished rubbing Lillie's sore feet and was giving twelve kisses to her belly, he whispered to his unborn children.
Smooch! "Six for you Daphne!"
Smooch! "And six for you Leon. That is how long you two have been in there and in two more weeks this will be upgraded to seven kisses each."
Lillie cradled her belly in parental bliss. "That is one month for how long you two have been with us, you only have to put up with staying in me for three more months."
She blushed and felt her children move within, she was about to close her eyes in peace when the phone rang. Elio whistled a tune and went up to get the phone. "I got it this time my blooming queen!"
Lillie puffed her cheeks in annoyance of the name as the husband picked up the phone and found Hau confused about an ordeal. The Kahuna was about to say Alola when Elio greeting in a song like tune. "Alola Hau! Has something happened at home?"
Hau was taken a back and frowned uncertain. "It has, I finally got Zekrom to wake up and I captured him as well."
Elio was impressed as Hau watched Lillie getting up. "It takes a lot to get him to notice that one person to make a difference. Even if it doesn't seem like much of a change, do know that you have done a lot for not just him but for the entire world. Take good care of him."
Hau blushed and nearly forgotten the circumstances as he watched Elio receive a wet willy from Lillie. The Alolan Champ cringed in shock for a moment and back away, he puffed his cheeks at his wife. "What was that for?"
Lillie answered with a mischievous smile of victory. "What you called me was too much of a praise!"
She focused on Hau and gave him a thumbs up. "Congratulations. Elio has told the trainers we were looking for everything, this should be the last time any of us have to worry about those wormholes. How is Conia?"
Hau felt the weight of the island was on him as he answered. "Fine, she had a dream about Victini among other things-" He tried to think of the words to say and took a deep breath to show a more serious expression. "Miss Lusamine found out about Zekrom and... tricked me into visiting Mount Lanakila with to try and help me wake him up. I'm not sure if that was what she planned to do or not."
Lillie's eyes widen as Elio guessed. "Interpol not butting out? Typical, then they suspect she was involved in a big conspiracy... when the only thing she was guilty of about this was until now, staying out of this. What did she do?"
Hau remembered the words and tried to think of how to describe it without giving into anger, Lillie saw the forming anger and knew what happened. "She challenged your ideals by speaking where it hurts. Which was why you fought back against her, to get her to stop."
Elio's mouth was wide, nearly speechless. "She wanted Hau to get pissed off and battle her... then he beaten her and given Zekrom what he needed. Why would she want that?!"
Hau answered the most disturbed. "She wanted Zekrom to be captured and in a ball so no one would worry about him. But was that really what she was trying to do?"
Lillie immediately spoke in her mothers defense. "If it wasn't, then she would have requested for more when he woke up. Did she?"
Hau shook his head. "No, she left when the stone was acting weird."
The Alolan Champ was at a loss for words. "That much of her hasn't changed. When she wants to... she can play us for a violin if we let our guard down."
Lillie remembered a story Elio had and rolled her eyes. "Or when she wants to pick on you. We are going to have a word with her thank you for helping Zekrom."
Hau blushed like it was no worry. "I'll get started on understanding him better in the morning. Have a good night."
The married couple wished Hau a good day, Elio hid a head ache and was ready to disconnect. "We will, see ya!"
Beep!
Knock knock!
Lillie adjusted her clothes and checked the door to find her brother frustrated, she let him in and asked. "You found out what mother had done?"
Gladion nodded. "Someone, needs to confront her about this. On one hand, that woman has done us a huge favor, on the other," Elio readied the number. "Of all people for her to try that on, this was a dick move!"
Riiiiing!
The phone picked up, Lusamine picked up and had a smile that became a stoic frown of excepting what was about to happen. Her children know of what she did, Lillie asked. "Mother... do you know why we are calling?"
Lusamine answered with her tongue holding itself back. "It is about Hau and how I... provoked him."
Gladion nodded. "Appropriate word. Mother, Hau has been under his grand father's shadow for years... his father left for unknown reasons and with how often he fights Elio and loses. It will take its toll, if you told him that either Elio or the rest of us would have resolved the Zekrom issue better that would have hurt him much more than he would show."
Elio agreed and felt anger towards the woman. "Which was what you wanted when you taunted him into battling you. When he wished to prove the ideal that he doesn't have to rely on us to stand out not as a Kahuna, a rival I beat all the time or anything that would be a label, but as Hau. You deserved the beating he gave you, but that was you wanted to happen... which makes it worse!"
Lusamine scoffed and didn't hesitate to admit her deed. "It worked, didn't it? Now he has a partner that together, they can express their ideals. This leaves less of a mess that you and the others have to deal with on coming back."
Lillie puffed her cheeks up and saw Lusamine feeling like it wasn't something she took any pleasure in. "It was still a terrible thing to do to Hau. While this has helped everyone, including Zekrom and Hau... was it something any of us would have wanted? Did it have to happen?"
Lusamine was about to answer when she stopped herself and thought about it, Gladion answered both questions. "No, none of us would have wanted that to be done and while Hau needed to show stronger ideals to stop one problem, you only took an easy route that worked too well and created another," He took a deep breath and let out his bitterness. "that being said, thank you mother for taking that burden off our hands, we will talk more about this later."
Lusamine breathed in silently as Elio smiled. "I'm sure Hau will understand why you did that and all will be forgiven. Seeing a Zekrom waking up before your eyes isn't the craziest thing to happen this week, I'm not spoiling it."
Lusamine flashed her eyes at Elio and knew what it was. "You stared in another Pokestar film and you tossed the script out like it was trash!"
Gladion was about to laugh and failed to hold it in. "A...ha! Ha! Actually, what he and this girl did wasn't too far from the script, it is what this idea brought to him and what he brought with him that... works."
The mother was astonished by her son laughing, it was a rare sight and it was normally masked by bitterness. Lillie gave the name of the movie. "The film is called, The Magical Labyrinth Part One. When someone adds a hint of a fantasy genre."
Lusamine dared not show interest and asked. "Wha...is this all we have to talk about?"
The trio nodded as Gladion wanted to assure his mother. "We are not saying that what you done didn't help us, far from it. How it was done was why this call had to happen, anything else happened we need to know?"
Lusamine listened one and felt somewhat relieved. "Besides Interpol wanting a word about Zekrom and why it awaken from the stone, Alola may need to know about what has happened. It is something the public would not ignore."
Elio remembered the incident with Palkia, the public needs to know what is being done. "I could.. and should have Little Horn give me a ring back to Alola. This speech is going to be a pain in the butt and they are all going to want a piece of me for knowing about this and not telling them sooner. Does noon tomorrow sound good?"
Gladion approved of it. "You finalized the trainers from the regions we know, the people of Alola should know that they will have that security in knowing that they will be safe."
Elio tried to envision his speech and promised the Aether Family. "That is what I am going to do, are we all good for this idea?"
The three raised their hand in unison to agree, Elio left the video phone to wish Lusamine a good night. "See you tomorrow then."
The Alolan Champ went to the shower as Lillie wished to finish up. "One thing after another, good night mother."
Lusamine wished her children good night and waited for a disconnect. "Good night, may you have sweet dreams."
Beep!
Gladion felt calm with the world and was ready to leave the room. "That was less problematic than we expected. Good night Lillie," The sister wished her brother a good night and locked the door when her brother left. Leaving her to plan for when Elio finished, she undid her pony tail and let her hair dangle down, with her braids swinging in the hair, she, laid on the bed and blushed. When her husband finished the shower, he blushed back and resisted temptation. "Where were we before this happened?"
The wife answered and twirled her braided locks. "I think our children are asleep now."
Kick!
She felt a nudge at her rib and giggled. "Guess not, I know how to get them sleeping."
She coughed and whistled a tune that caught Elio's ears, the husband felt his soul at harmony and listened, when she finished, Elio was falling asleep, the unborn children calmed down. Lillie rubbed her belly with her left hand and rubbed her husband's hair with her right hand. "Good night, I love all of you."
At the manor in Aether Paradise.
Lusamine was in a set of elegant but basic black pajamas and fell on her bed exhausted, her children debating on what she did was inevitable and while a small meeting with Elio would be pleasant, it was purely business. She had a Herdier in her arms and was about to let her mind drift when a light knocking was heard, she grumbled and got the door to find a Mew. "M...What is it Isaac?"
The child glowed and answered. "I'm just visiting grams, is something on your mind?"
Lusamine yawned and let the Mew in. "You may have known about Zekrom and how he was captured."
Mew nodded and closed his eyes. "Yes, I understand what you were trying to do, but you still to apologize to Uncle for how you treated him, well intended or not it hurt his feelings more than he expected and he fells like he was used or was being used."
Lusamine felt too tired to go all the way to Iki town at the time of night and went back on the bed. "I'll do that tomorrow when I have the chance." *Yawn!*
Mew slipped into the room and went into the woman's arms with the Herdier, making Lusamine blush for a moment as her mind drift. She found herself on a rather tranquil island, with a Herdier, Absol and Mew to keep her company.
The woman was about to lay down when she saw a green aurora flickering and moving, catching her attention and causing Cassandra to raise her guard. Isaac meowed and invited the flicker over, causing the Absol to lower her guard and earning the woman's curiosity. "Oh... hello."
The flicker hovered close to her in curiosity and distorted for a moment, the Mew scratched his head and understood what he heard. "Something is being born, it must be a psychic type trying to see the world."
He looked into the blue yonder as Lusamine viewed the light as a wonder. "This...this must be its first dream. But why all the way here?"
Mew shrugged. "It sensed another psychic type somewhere and want to say hello."
The flicker hovered to Isaac and spun around, the Mew tried to play with it until it directed towards Lusamine and tried to play, it flickered out of existence. The woman laid down and heard the Mew giggle. "I think it likes you grams... don't expect this to be the last you see of it."
The woman's mind drifted into the void, she gave a smile in her sleep and felt like it was something to be discovered.
During a late morning in Iki Town.
Hau and Conia finished break fast and were enjoying a blissful day when a Hoopa Ring opened up to let Elio out. The Alola Champ waved like a rainbow. "Alola Hau, Alola Conia!"
Hau waved back. "Alola! This has something to do with Zekrom?"
Elio nodded as Conia impersonated a dragons roar. "ROAR!"
The Kahuna was about to laugh with his excited daughter as Elio gave instructions to his friend. "I talked to the news reporters and they set up a camera crew for me to make a speech. Not just about Zekrom, but about Infinity... or Palkia."
He took out a great ball as Hau showed the ultra ball. "The people of Alola need to know what is going on so they don't get paranoid over some conspiracy."
Hau agreed, unaware of someone approaching. "A lot of people have been scared about what is going on, if they understand what is happening, they can rest easy. You should tell them what you done with trainers from the rest of the world, in case we have tourist worrying about home."
Elio smiled to the plan. "That is part of the speech, Hau... I want you to show them Zekrom while I show Infinity, those two have caused problems on Alola and if left on their own it would have gotten worse."
Foot steps were heard, he turned around to find Lusamine directing her attention towards Hau, the Aether President felt her chest burning and expected the worse. "I would like to apologize for playing on your emotions to get those ideals out. It was a short term plan and you done nothing to deserve the things I said to you."
Hau felt better on hearing the apology as Conia stared curious. "I get why you did it. You wanted Zekrom to wake up and get his life back."
Elio asked in an attempt to keep Lusamine from leaving. "Do you mind staying around to listen, I need an official to listen to what I have to announce. I also want to talk about a few things regarding what I'm doing, because it is a large order."
The woman accepted the terms as a camera crew was in sight. "Only a handful of people know about this and they know of the details?"
Elio took a deep breath and nodded. "Things you already know the details on by now, but it is in case weird things start to happen."
The camera crew arrived, Elio coughed and gave the Alolan greeting as Lusamine got out of the way. "Alola guys! I want to be at the arena in town... just because I like pedestals!"
Hau readied a ball and asked his daughter. "It is going to be a nosy and cluttered time, do you want to spend time with Ludicolo while we finish? It will be quick."
Conia nodded an followed her father. "I don't get what is going on," The father tried to find a word that a child would definitally understand. "Uncle Elio has done something to better help pokemon like Zekrom and we are going to let the people know that everything is going to okay."
The two year old daughter listened and hummed. "Okay daddy!" Elio watched the two handle their business and expelled fear from his system, his next duty to Alola is to come soon.
On Unova in Anville Town.
A Poipole were watching a shiny white train with a pink stripe enter the turntable for a rest as a Lillie with her hair down, Pipi and Rachael watched Tammy directing a Weavile. The pokemon dance in vigor while using icy wind to show off a veil, the sharp claw pokemon tightened her fist, the wind flowed in the hand as she slammed the ground for an ice punch. Giving a small shock wave and freezing the ground in ice. Lillie clapped in applause as Pipi approached the Weavile. "To think that your trainer was able to teach you to do that."
The Weavile shrugged it as Tammy tried to laugh it off. "It isn't mastered yet, but already, this is graceful and intimidating. Tenac gotten the hang of it."
Tammy tossed a poffin at the Weavile as she payed attention to a Durant burrowing out of the ground and ramming at a broken sign post with an iron head. Tenac felt annoyed as Rachael ordered the iron ant. "Vespron, to me!"
The Durant crawled to his master and seeing an egg making noise, the aspiring reporter smiled at progress. "This is paying off, while Vyram is a big doofus... you and Alakazam stepped it up. Snubbull even evolved into a Granbull an hour ago."
She smiled at Lillie and Tammy. "Thank you for the tip of having them give a flare to their moves. This will make that film later this week extra special, when is Elio coming back? I want to know more about you two besides being heroes."
Lillie answered in hope for a safe trip. "In an hour or two. Last night... I tried to whistle a tune to Daphne and Leon to lure them to sleep... they were not the only."
Pipi asked with a glowing smile. "What was that tune?"
Lillie tried to remember, closed her eyes and whistled a song that caught Rachael's attention particular, Tammy listened and found it to be beautiful as Poipole floated closer to hear the melody. Pipi recognized what the tune was and placed her hands together in respect, when Lillie finished, the Ultra Beast clapped in joy and Rachael knew of the song. "That is Lugia's song! Miss Lillie, where did you get that idea and where did you hear that?"
Lillie blushed red on realizing what she done to her husband and answered. "There was a traveling musician at Castelia City that played a beautiful tone with a flute of hers. Elio has always admired Lugia... that never changes, he must have heard it before and recognized my tune."
Tammy asked at random with a plan in mind. "When are your birthdays? This might be something to make that day... special."
Lillie recounted the time and answered. "Elio's is in around four months. By then... a birthday surprise would be the least of his worries."
Tammy snapped her fingers and had her hands at her hips. "He will have kids to take care of among everything else that came with being a dad. What about you though?"
Lillie answered and looked up to the sky. "In around two months. The month the two are due!"
The girl asked with a forming blush. "Do you want me to do anything for you on that day?"
Lillie licked her lips at one idea. "I would rather not have too many people visit. But we might order something for the occasion, would you help us in case it becomes busy?"
Tammy gave her adopted mother a thumbs up. "Can do!"
Rachael listened and disapproved. "It takes a long time to master an instrument, least of all learn that song, if you are going to play something that sacred and powerful, do it right."
The girl was about to respond in arrogance and had doubts on how she is going to do something that special for Elio when Lillie stopped a potential argument. "Even if you won't be able to give a performance like that in time, we can give him a present like that. We have four months to plan for tha-" Poipole played with Lillie's hair and gave the woman a final decision for the day as a flute player played a tune for a sleeping train, calming the tension as Pipi wished her friend luck. "Regardless, he will appreciate what comes from the heart. Miss Lillie, how much longer are we going to watch the trains?"
Lillie answered and felt her babies active. "Oof! Ten more minutes, Gladion should be finished at the Stadium with Pamela and then we can leave you to enjoy the day by yourselves!"
The girls wondered how Pamela was doing with her training as Tammy worried about Elio. "I hope the people on Alola listen to his speech."
On Alola at Iki Town.
Elio and Hau stood on the arena with a mass of inhabitants of Melemele waiting for a speech. The two boys readied their balls and let out a Palkia and Zekrom, two menacing dragons that caused the masses to babble and dread until the Alolan Champion shouted in the microphone and made sure the camera was on spread the message to all of Alola. "People of Alola, this is your Champ speaking! In case you wondered why me and Hau have a one of a kind legendaries like Palkia or Zekrom, let me explain a phenomenon that is connected to Ultra Wormholes that you... may or may not have seen or heard of before."
He found Anabel and Madison arriving on the pedestal, bouncers were about to drive her away when the Alola Champ stopped them. "Actually, they is perfect for what I am to talk about, let them come!"
The bouncers obeyed and got out of the way, the agent blushed and gave Elio a teasing stare as Madison let an Emolga out from her jacket. "Thank you Mr. Sun, you may continue!"
Elio coughed deeply and directed attention to Interpol Agent and the Pokemon Ranger pressing a button on her device. "Occasionally, we have someone called a faller fall out of an Ultra Wormhole. They are people who at some point, fell into an Ultra Wormhole and find themselves in a world like this one or another. Often, they fall out with their memories gone, besides their name and vague memories of their past life... they are kind of a new person. Other fallers... like myself, have only been through a wormhole for a short period of time and only come out with what ever knowledge was given by going past the wormholes."
FLASH! FLASH!
A reporter asked with a micro phone. "What does this have to do with the two pokemon?"
Elio answered an intelligent question and adjusted his hat. "While I don't want to say too much on the matter, occasionally the faller might be a pokemon instead of a human. If you see a wild pokemon that shouldn't be on Alola wandering lost and confused, that might be a faller and you should do something to help them before they hurt themselves and others, for example, capturing them. Those like legendary pokemon however, who's power is vast, without limit and often times destructive, will cause problems if allowed to stay out for long. Being a legendary pokemon, only a trainer that is well skilled or use to danger would be able to capture them without endangering themselves or others."
The masses were concerned for the saftey of Alola, how can they keep themselves safe from something like that, the tourist feared for their home as Elio wished to calm their fears. "As you can tell from how Hau and the Tapus managed Zekrom, this is something that can be resolved quickly and efficiently. If they can manage that, all four Kahunas would be able to manage far worse. For the tourist that might think... what is going to happen to my home region if one of those things opens up to let out a Reshiram or if it lets out an Ultra Beast. I would like to ease your worry on that one as well, starting from when the latest World Tournament ends, a select few trainers are in the know about this. They are equipped, have had great experience with legendary pokemon or more dangerous foes and are more than capable of fighting back against this threat. If you wish to know the details, you probably already know that trainer like you would any celebrity."
A male brown hair tourist in a yellow shirt, a blue base ball cap and blue shorts asked. "Like the Battle Legend Red or someone similar? He isn't one to say much to anyone!"
Elio agreed to the man in shorts. "Those like him... for example if you heard of Ethan! He is the guy you can count on to tell you what is up. Besides calling for help if you suspect anything relating to a wormhole, this should not change anything about your everyday lives."
He faced the masses with his fist in the air, shouting in excitement. "Thank you all for listening to this public service announcement! Enjoy your trip on Alola!"
FLASH! FLASH! Clap! Clap! Clap!
The Zekrom growled annoyed as the Palkia grumbled bored, their trainers gave them masaladas as a reward as the masses went back to their daily lives. Hau got on the dragons sounder and petted his cheek. "Thank you for tolerating this. Things should go back to normal from here on out."
The red eyed, black dragon hoped so as Elio looked in awe at the Palkia. "There is still a bit more we need to do, but it is nothing a library won't fix."
Hau agreed. "The people of Alola need to know about the legends of the world, so they can better understand what is happening and prepare themselves."
The Zekrom approved of the idea as he and Palkia were called back in their balls. The Alolan Champ thanked the two women. "It was good both of you showed up to be an example of a faller, hope I didn't give too much away about what you two are."
Madison didn't mind as a Genesect flew to town. "They shouldn't have to worry about us, we will be fine. I recorded that speech for the Ranger Union, once you and Gladion get back, I might have to go to a meeting myself."
Elio gave a small spin and raised his hand in the air. "I accomplished your mission before you have to do anything, this will help for places around the world that the League can't touch!"
Anabel waited for Elio to calm down and evaluated what she heard. " and enough for my superiors to be satisfied... for good! Excellent work Mr. Sun, is there anything more you need from us?"
Elio shook his head. "Not really, you can go back to what you were doing."
Madison went to her Genesect for a styling ride out as Anabel sent out a Salamence for flight, they wished him goodbye and flew off in style. Hau had his hands behind his head and admired what he saw. "Those ladies are cool people!"
Elio found Lusamine by a tree in the town and thanked Hau. "That they are, I'll see you when I get back from Unova... or if something else happens. Good work on handling Zekrom."
The two friends parted ways, the Alolan Champ approached the Aether President and asked. "Did you listen to all that?"
Lusamine nodded. "It is more than enough to ease their hearts. There is more detail that you kept to yourself, because you and these trainers you gathered have personal lives themselves."
Elio hummed and described the trainers. "Besides myself, I picked at least one trainer from each region to know the details about what is going on and why they are doing this for everyone. If it is a full grown trainer with a pokedex or with Wes a PDA, that is one of the Ultra Guardians. It is also extends to anyone in the know that is strong enough to fight and allowed in... should we have anything like Eclipse and the Beast out break that he caused. Some of these people you have met before and I WILL make it an official rule should we all have to gather in one spot, to make it at Aether. Please tell this to Wicke."
Lusamine thought of what trainers the Alolan Champion had found and met and shook his hand. "I will, we will see you soon." The Aether President left to do her part as Elio fell through a Hoopa Ring.
Thud! He handed on his face and regained his vision and listened to a Hoopa's laughter. "That went according to plan! You got it out of your system and Alola has one less worry. What are you to do now?"
Elio got himself up and found he was in Nimbasa City, with Lillie, Tammy and Rachael before him. The two girls were astonished by the Alolan Champion's casual reaction of getting himself up and answering without a hint of rage. "Besides telling Gladion that the deed is done, I got to get Brick and the others to practice for show time. How was your day Lillie?"
The mother to be fondled her braided locks and wanted to tease her husband. "Relaxing."
Rachael looked at the large Stadium. "Once Pipi picks Gladion and Pamela up, we will take off and leave you grown ups alone."
She felt something shaking and placed the egg case down, she lifted the container off and readied the ball as the egg shook and cracked. Crack...crack...crack!
The egg glowed and shattered, letting out a Deino with green skin and pink spots, Rachael's mouth was wide open as the irate pokemon waddled on its feet, the sound of city life frightened it and caused it to run off to a random direction. Thud!
It rammed it head on a hard trash can and tipped it over, the sound caused it to run the other way in panic, Rachael tossed the premier ball at the pokemon in pity. "Go catch em!"
The ball tapped the Deino, dragged it in and rolled in the street. Shake...shake...shake... click!
Rachael calmed down from her capture and picked the ball up. "Yeah, this pokemon really is scary... not."
The Rotom Dex forced himself out of Elio's back pack and scanned the ball, he glowed impressed. "BZZT! She cannot see, she will tackle and bite to learn about her surroundings. BZZT!"
Rachael agreed as Tammy realized what the things was going through. "All the noise on the day she was born, obviously timid nature. She would have gotten herself hurt." Rachael nodded and blew wind in disregard to the rumors, she let Deino out and held her in her arms like a baby. "Megara, my name is Rachael and I will be taking care of you as both your trainer and your friend."
The Deino shook in fear and listened to the sudden noise, calming herself down and was bit the wind, Lillie took out a blukk berry and gave it to the Deino, she ate the fruit and blushed to the sound of Lillie's soothing voice. "You had a long trip, you are safe now."
The Deino fell asleep in Rachael's arms as Lillie saw Pipi returning with Pamela, who had an exhausted Scizor with her and Gladion who had a Charizard that was even more exhausted. The blonde man saw the Deino and focused on Elio. "You accomplished you mission on Alola?"
The Alolan Champ gave his brother in-law a thumbs up. "Yep, expect Wicke to be calling you shortly on the matter. You and Charizard look like you had a blast in there."
Gladion smiled with his eyes closed. "Oh we did, tomorrow... would you like to show Charizard who Kindle is. It is the final piece of his training before I try mega evolution again!"
Elio's smile became wider. "I will and your on!"
