It was a "normal" day at the Loud house...or it would be if one member of the Loud clan wasn't literally on the other side of the world training to become a Pokemon trainer.
As Lincoln was meeting Leon and getting his partner Pokémon Grookey, things were also happening back in the United States in the town of Michigan known as Royal Woods.
On twelve sixteen Franklin Avenue alarm bells rang throughout the house as everyone got up as they decided to get up early not because they had to go to school or anything but because they wanted to enjoy the first day of summer!
With school out until the fall the Loud sisters decided to enjoy the time they had with Lori the best they could as they knew as soon as the fall came in she would be driving away to Fairway university to begin her college life and be the first Loud to leave the household.
Lori and Leni were the first to get up from their beds and immediately went over to the closet to start changing.
"So what are your thoughts about Lincoln Leni?"asked Lori as she slipped on her usual tank top.
"What do you mean Lori?"asked Leni as she placed her sunglasses on her head while at the same time not understanding the question her sister asked her.
"I mean it took me five minutes to realize this but Lincoln isn't in his room right now. He is literally on the other side of the world doing who knows what with that friend of Lisa's."said Lori as she was sitting near the mirror in the room and began applying her mascara.
"I know and to be honest I'm a little worried since you were supposed to be the first Loud to leave the house but Lincoln who's still not even a teenager yet was the first to go off and try to discover himself."said Leni who honestly felt a little sad as she was one of the sisters closest to Lincoln.
"I know you're worried about him since you've always babied him ever since he was a little baby. But Lincoln isn't a baby anymore Leni and I really hate to admit this but he's one of the smartest individuals in this house probably only behind Lisa."said Lori who really hated to admit it.
"I know I mean how many times have we fallen for one of his plans."said Leni who knew all too well how many times she's been caught up in Lincoln schemes because of her naive nature.
"I know I can be bossy and possibly very mean but I care about him and I'm honestly worried too Leni. But let's not forget that he's with a friend of Lisa's and I know Lisa can be cold as she's used us as guinea pigs in her experiments but we can't say the same for this Professor Magnolia lady."said Lori as she started applying her makeup to her eyelids.
"I know what you mean as I really can't judge a person I haven't even met yet."said Leni as she was using the camera on her phone to look at herself as she was plucking some eyebrows.
"What do you think Lisa's up too?"asked Leni as she plucked another eyebrow from her face causing her some pain but she was used to it by now.
"What do you mean Leni?"asked Lori as she was checking her hair for cowlicks.
"I mean I know I'm not the smartest or the brightest but even I can tell that Lisa doesn't do anything unless she benefits in some way."said Leni as Lori took a moment to think back on this.
"...Oh my gosh Leni you're absolutely right Lisa doesn't do anything unless she benefits! But what could her angle be? Maybe it has to do with something that Professor Magnolia's researching..."said Lori as she pulled out her hair brush and began brushing her hair.
"Maybe...But there's no way that we're going to get any answers out of Lisa she's too smart. I doubt any of us can outsmart her at anything as so far only Lincoln and Luan have been able to do that."said Leni as she herself was checking if her hair had any cowlicks.
"Well Lincoln is the man with the plan and Luan is a pranking criminal mastermind so that's probably why they've been able to get the drop on her. But I guess you're right we're never going to get any information out of Lisa unless she wants us to know. After all it looks like she's putting extra effort into this which means she's going to use everything she has at her disposal to get her way."said Lori as she was checking her face for zits.
"Maybe Luan can help us figure out what she's up to as although Lincoln's not here Luan has been able to get the drop on Lisa on more than one occasion when Luan really puts effort into it."said Leni as she began applying her makeup.
"Well... let's just hope Lincoln is okay."

[Luna and Luan's room]
As Leni as Lori we're doing their usual ritual of applying their makeup and making sure they look good Luna and Luan we're already changed and doing their usual activities they did in the morning.
Luan was checking the video she recorded her first self last night to see if she told any good jokes well she was asleep.
Luna on the other hand was checking all of her instruments to make sure everything was working as a proper musician always made sure their tools were properly working.
"So are you worried about Lincoln?"asked Luan as Luna turned around to see what she was talking about.
"What do you mean bra?"asked Luna.
"Oh don't play dumb Luna I saw that worried look on your face before you went to sleep last night. You're worried about Lincoln and I'm not surprised since besides Leni, Lucy, and Lily you're one of his closest siblings."said Luan as she closed her laptop.
"Was if that obvious?"said Luna with Luan giving her a look that basically said "of course"
"...I just can't help but be worried Luan. Lincoln maybe smart and mature for his age but he still a preteen and my little brother. I can't help not worry for him since he's literally on the other side of the world doing who knows what."said Luna and she put her base down.
"Look I know that Lisa is playing some kind of angle. But we got to be smart of that this since knowing Lisa she already has countermeasures ready in case any of us try to ask her about what's going on. Heck she probably already has answers for any questions we might ask to avoid the subject altogether."said Luan as that's what she would do when she was planning her pranks for April fool's Day.
"Yeah I guess you're right since I know Lisa is hiding something I just don't know what it is but you're right when you say we got to be smart about this since Lisa is a freaking genius who won't reveal her hand until she decides to."said Luna who can still remember the time Lisa used her as one of her guinea pigs in an experiment.
It took several days for her skin to turn back to normal from purple...

[Lynn and Lucy's room]
Meanwhile in Lynn and Lucy's room Lynn was doing your usual two hundred push-ups and sit-ups workout regiment she did every morning to make sure she kept in shape.
Lucy on the other hand was sitting on her bed/coffin looking at her beloved statue Edwin while being quiet... well quieter than usual.
"Lucy are you still worried about Lincoln?"asked Lynn as she moved from her sit-ups and push-ups and began stretching.
"Lynn you can't not tell me you're not suspicious of Lisa's motives either."replied to Lucy as she put Edwin down.
"Okay we all know that Lisa has some secret motive she's not telling us I mean come on we've known her since the day she was born so we all know what she is capable of and when she is willing to do to get her way."said Lynn who still remembers the time Lisa put her in a giant maze to see if she can find some cheese...
the traps... were not fun...
"Look I know you're worried about him cuz you're all close to him and all that but it's best not to get in Lisa's way if you know what's good for you."said Lynn who was honestly concerned for her roommate.
"You maybe right but until I know what exactly what is going on this is going to be killing me and not in a fun way."said Lucy as she closed her coffin to begin thinking of a plan to figure out what Lisa's up to.

[Lana and Lola's room]
As Lucy was formulating a plan to find out what Lisa was scheming Lana and Lola we're currently on different sides on the whole matter.
Lola as usual was in front of her vanity mirror removing her face mask from her face, the cucumber she used last night for her eyes, and the curl she put in her hair to keep it nice and pretty.
Lana on the other hand was feeding her various pets which consisted of Izzy, Hops, Bitey, and El Diablo worms and whatever she snuck up upstairs from last night's dinner.
"I can't wait for today's trip to the bathroom which will scientifically have less time thanks to the fact that Lincoln is in that Galar place."said Lola she was brushing her hair with a hair brush.
"I am honestly surprised you're being so cold Lola since out of all of us you're pretty close to Lincoln with him being your pageant coach and all."said Lana who besides Lola Lincoln was the next person who knew everything about pageants.
"Don't get me wrong I miss him but hey what can we do he volunteered for this and all and besides I know for a fact Walt is especially appreciative that he's not here since it means no more being used for his magic tricks."said Lola as she was changing into one of her pink dresses and putting on her pink gloves.
"I guess you're right Lincoln volunteered for this otherwise he would have never approach Lisa on her offer in the first place. I actually read that flyer when I was passing through that hallway at school that's hardly used but I decided against it since I don't want to be used in one of her experiments anymore "said Lola who shuddered at the thought of the last experiments.
"Lana come on Lincoln is not stupid. He's a lot of things but stupid is not one of them. He knows Lisa all too well and probably knows that she has a hidden motive and that's pretty obvious I mean we all know Lisa doesn't do anything unless she benefits in some way or we stop bothering her with our requests."said Lola as she was putting on her makeup and tiara.
"I yes but I can't help but worry. Also aren't you a little bit curious as to what he's doing over there?"asked Lana.
"... Maybe a little but hey he's probably just helping out some old Professor lady with her research so that sounds pretty boring so you know..."said Lola as she got up from her chair.
"Ah once again I look absolutely perfect."said Lola as she was admiring herself one last time before turning away from the mirror.
"Come on dad's making breakfast and if I don't eat soon I'm going to get hangry."said Lola as she and Lana walked out of their bedroom.
Everyone else walked out of their bedrooms around the same time and began making their way down the stairs as they were hungry and their dad was currently downstairs making breakfast.
Like a stampede of wildebeest they went down the stairs leaving a dust cloud in their path as they made their way to the dining room and sat down and their usual seats.
"Hey kids..."said Rita to her daughters although her daughter's immediately noticed that she wasn't looking well.
"Mom are you okay?"asked Lori who noticed that her mother had a lot of bags under her eyes.
"...Yeah I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night."admitted Rita as she was rubbing her eyes.
"Worried about Lincoln?"asked Leni.
"...Yeah this is the first time one of my kids flies off from the nest. I mentally prepared myself for Lori but Lincoln was sort of unexpected since he's still young and right now on the other side of the world doing who knows..."said Rita with a clear worried tone in her voice.
"Mother I can assure you he's okay with Professor Magnolia. Postwick is a beautiful place to live as the Poke... animals that lived there frolick through the fields free without any cages and the air is so nice and clean it's probably a good thing Lincoln's over there."said Lisa who almost let out a big secret but quickly saved yourself at the last second.
"...I know Lisa and I know this is something he wanted to do but I still can't help but worry."said Rita as her husband came into the dining room with a stack of chocolate chip pancakes
"PANCAKES AND THEIR CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES MY FAVORITE!"said the Loud sisters who are notorious for their love of chocolate.
One buy one a stack of pancakes was put on each of their plates and after a short tussle over the maple syrup they all poured maple syrup and butter onto their pancakes and began scarfing them down well enjoying the flavor of maple syrup and chocolate with a little bit of butter to help it go down.
"And here are your pancakes Lin... oh yeah I forgot he's currently in Galar."said Lynn Sr who forgot that his son wasn't even in the United States right now so he accidentally made pancakes for him.
"Lynn Sr then quickly realized his mistake that if his daughters realize there was more pancakes they would most likely fight over it so without wasting a moment he began scarfing down a pancakes he made for Lincoln.
Luckily for him his daughters were so focused on their pancakes they failed to notice and by the time they finish their pancakes Lynn Sr successfully scarf down the last pancake.
"Well that was delicious dear. If any of you need me I'll be in my bedroom."said Rita who quietly excused herself from the table and went back to the bedroom she shared with her husband as her family watched on with concern.
"She's really worried about Lincoln..."said Lucy who surprised everyone even though she was sitting at her usual seat and having not moved an inch.
"Yeah I'm really worried you guys. Hopefully Lincoln will call soon with a satellite phone or whatever and tell her he's okay."said Luna as everyone agree with her minus Lisa.
'That won't be possible unless he's at a Pokemon center since it's the only place with satellite reach in all of Galar. I may have provided him his Rotom phone but I'm not made of money so if he wants to contact us he'll have to do it at a Pokemon center.' thought Lisa as she took a sip of her cup of milk.
After breakfast allowed sister decided to enjoy their Saturday by staying at home as they knew since it was the first Saturday of the summer every place that's fun to go like the movies or the mall would be packed so they decided to stay home and relax.
Lynn Sr meanwhile stayed in his bedroom comforting his wife who was crying into her pillow clearly upset that Lincoln left the nest so early and was currently on an island she never heard of until a few days ago doing who knows what.
Lisa was the only one who had any idea of what was going on and couldn't wait for a progress report from Professor Magnolia so she was currently in front of her VideoPhone hoping that the professor would call her with progress.
Lisa was so distracted she didn't notice that someone was watching her from the air vents carefully writing down notes to see if there was any change in Lisa's behavior.
