Another chapter for getting another chapter finished! I'm so excited and I'm hoping I'll be able to get another chapter out this week! Although, I'm done with thinking of chapter titles. I'm not really good at those. This is another 'filler' chapter that I have no idea where it came from. I don't even remember what I was thinking when I was writing this... never mind. Just remembered. Wanted Autumn and Professor Kukui to bond more. So, enjoy and tell me what you think!

Warnings: None. Does talk about children with cancer at the end though.

Disclaimer: Don't own Pokemon. Autumn's mine though... and I made up the kids they visit along with the nurse.

-Autumn's P.O.V.-

Today was the first day of training and we were all excited. Riolu was going up against Professor Kukui's Lucario, Oricorio against Braviary, Sylveon against Espeon and Winter was going up against Empoleon. Although Empoleon was mainly working with Winter on aim, stamina and power (in that order), "You're Pokemon are really good at battling," Kukui observed.

I smiled, "We haven't had nearly enough practice," I admitted, "But I want them to be as good at battling as you and Ash are. Then we'll be prepared for anything!"

"You seem prepared for anything already," Kukui answered, "With how you went against Olivia in your grand trial. You took what you knew and used it to win."

"I still can't believe we won against a Kahuna," I shook my head, "But it was honestly funer than I thought it would be."

"Pokemon Battles usually are."

"Sylveon!" I called out, "Try using Moonblast! Or Telekinesis!"

She did so as Kukui chuckled, "Are you sure you don't know what you're doing?"

"I never said I didn't," I smiled, "I just took experience from watching Ash's battles. If something doesn't work for you, find a way to make it work in your favor!"

Eventually, we all had to leave since I promised the kids I would visit them today and Professor Kukui had to go to his lab to get a few things done, "Autumn!" Naomi cried out from her spot on the couch.

I went over and hugged her, "Hey Naomi. How've you been?"

"Great! The doctor even said I may get to go home if I keep improving!" She beamed.

I beamed as well, "That's amazing! When you do tell me, I wanna know where to visit you after this."

The others quickly came in and got me to teach them a few more dance moves, "Are you going to post a new song soon?" Neil asked me.

Breanna lightly hit him, "Don't ask that! It's more exciting to find it when it does come!"

I chuckled, "I'm planning another music video, but I don't know when I'll be able to complete it."

Neil beamed, "Could you tell me when you do post it?!"

"You guys will be the first to know," I agreed.

They all cheered as the TV went to a recorded Masked Royal battle, "It's the Masked Royal!" One of the kids cried out, pointing at the TV.

All of them ran towards it, "Wouldn't it be so cool to meet him?" I heard Carly ask.

"He could battle Autumn while here!" Brett exclaimed.

"Autumn," Riley tugged on my pants, "Is it true that you're the nurse at the Battle Royal dome now?"

"It is," I agreed, "They actually have a match next week that I'm supposed to go to. It's the first one that I'll be there for… officially."

The kids laughed, "You always help," One of them muttered with a smile.

"What day is it?" Naomi asked.

"Friday at six," I answered, "Why?"

"Maybe we'll be able to watch it together!" She cheered, causing the other children to agree.

"You'll have to ask Amelia before you do anything."

"If we can't watch it together, we'll watch it in our rooms!" Neil answered, "I could even make it so we're all video calling each other at the same time so it'll be like we're all together!"

"Just don't break any laws Neil," I warned him, "We don't want you getting into trouble."

He just smiled, letting us know that he was going to do it anyway if they weren't all together, "Sorry," Amelia interrupted, "But it's time for everyone to go back to their rooms."

Everyone groaned, "Don't worry," I smiled, standing, "I'll come next week at the same time."

They quickly calmed down and went back to their rooms, "Thank you for coming again," Amelia told me as she led me out of the hospital (I still didn't know where the exit was), "They love your visits."

"I love visiting them," I answered honestly, "But would you mind if I brought someone else with me next time? The kids said they wanted to meet him."

"Of course!" She smiled, "But make sure you keep it to a small group. We don't want too many people in there at the same time."

"Don't worry," I reassured as I started for the exit, "It's just one more with their Pokemon," Then I was gone.

I wasn't able to gain the courage to ask Kukui until Friday night after the challenges, "Autumn," He asked as I healed Incineroar, "What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong," I admitted, "I just… would you mind being the Masked Royal tomorrow as well? I know some kids who really want to meet you."

"Yes!" Incineroar was all over it, "We'll do it!"

"Just tell me where to meet you and when," Kukui answered, "Incineroar loves kids."

I beamed, "Thank you!" I gave both of them a hug before I finished healing Incineroar, "Also, they may want you to battle me," I finished as we started for home in the car, "They really want to see it for some reason."

"Incineroar is always up for a battle," Kukui answered, "Unless you say otherwise."

The next day, I was the one driving him to our destination, "Here we are," I beamed and got out of the car, making sure to get Riolu and Winter out of the back seat.

Kukui was obviously confused, "The hospital?"

I nodded and led the way inside to the desk. Amelia dropped her clipboard when she saw who was with me, "Hey Amelia! Are the kids in the room yet?"

She stood there for a moment, then nodded, "Yes. They're in the room already," She gulped, "I'll take you there."

"Thank you!" I beamed.

When we got into the room, all the kids turned and gasped, "Kids, Autumn's here with a… guest."

"Masked Royal," Kukui changed his voice and bowed, "Pleasure to meet you."

All of them just started with wide eyes, "Masked Royal," I introduced, "This is Brett, Charly, Riley, Breanna, Naomi and Neil. They're all big fans of yours."

Brett was the first to come forward, "Could I have your autograph?" He asked tentatively.

Kukui just smiled softly and crouched down, "Who should I make it out to?" He asked.

Brett beamed, "Brett! One of your biggest fans!"

The others ran forward as Kukui signed his notebook, "Could we see Incineroar?!" Riley asked excitedly.

"Don't worry," I assured him, "You can have your Pokemon out in here."

So, Incineroar came out to play as well. It was easy to tell that the kids loved the Masked Royal and Incineroar, especially when we danced a little. He even talked about a few battle strategies with Brett, Riley and Neil, "So, have you ever used Malicious Moonsault while spinning like you do with Darkest Lariat?"

"That was a disaster when we tried," Kukui admitted, "We nearly burned the forest, but were able to keep it under control."

"But with more practice, shouldn't you be able to use it to take down more opponents around you?" Charly asked, "Pokemon Coordinators and Pokemon Performers do!"

"I don't know anyone who knows that style of battle," Kukui answered.

Naomi laughed, "Yes you do! Autumn! She knows that style because she's the one who explained it to us!"

"I can teach it to you if you want," I offered, "It may help you with your Battle Royal challenges."

"What do you think, Incineroar?" Kukui asked.

Incineroar, who was sitting with the kids all around him, nodded, "There's always room to improve."

"Let's do it," Kukui finished.

Then Amelia came in, "Sorry, but you have five minutes left," She told us, "Then the kids have to go back to their rooms for a nap."

All of them groaned, except Neil, "Miss Amelia," He asked, "Could we watch Autumn and the Masked Royal battle each other before they leave?"

"Please!" Brett pleaded with him, "We all wanna see them battle!"

Amelia smiled, "Well, it's a good thing I got everything prepared at the battle field for it then. Isn't it?"

They all cheered as Incineroar grinned, "You're going down Autumn!" He roared, making the kids laugh even more at his fiery spirit.

"Alright," Amelia started to lead the children to the battlefield, "Make sure you all have your IV's and follow me."

When we arrived, there were a lot more people there than just the kids, "Where did everyone come from?" I asked, "I thought it would just be the kids."

Amelia smiled as the kids sat on the front row, right in the middle, "When everyone realized the kids would ask you two to do this, they also wanted to watch."

"I don't mind if you don't," I told Kukui.

Kukui and Incineroar just smiled, "Let's do this," He stated.

Soon, we were ready to battle, "Alright Autumn," A random doctor called out, "Choose your Pokemon!" Incineroar was already on the battlefield, getting fired up.

I just looked at my Pokemon, "Alright, who wants to go against Incineroar?"

All of them did, but it stopped when Winter walked onto the field, "I'll grow stronger with this battle!" Winter told Incineroar, "So don't hold back!"

Incineroar smiled, "I won't, promise."

"Battle," The doctor on the sidelines called out, "Begin!"

"Incineroar! Bulk Up!" Kukui started it.

I smiled, "Winter, use Blizzard!" Since Incineroar had to stay still to activate Bulk Up, it was a direct hit, "Great Job Winter!" I beamed.

Winter was beaming as well, "I got a hit in!"

"Use Throat Chop!" Kukui continued the battle after letting Incineroar recover for a moment.

"Use Iron Defense!" I called out, mainly because she wanted more practice with that move.

Throat Chop hit, "Now use Cross Chop!"

"Ice Fang!" I answered, with the only reason we won that was because of the type advantage.

Kukui was already smiling like he was at the Battle Royal dome, along with Incineroar, "Use Darkest Lariat!"

"Blizzard!" Winter was doing a really good job with this battle, but if either of us were a second late and Incineroar got another hit in, she would be out.

That one hit as well, but didn't do as much damage as the first Blizzard she did, "Do you think we should do a Z-Move?" Winter asked me.

We hadn't really practiced those yet, so, "Not yet Winter. For now, use Iron Defense again!"

"Use Cross Chop!" Kukui called out.

Now, Winter was only awake because of the Iron Defense raising her defense more, "Ice Fang!" That somehow landed in the same spot it did the first time, making it worse then it would have been.

"If you want to win, you're going to have to do a Z-Move right now," Riolu told me.

"Not yet," I whispered, "Use Iron Defense!" I called out again, boosting her defense once more.

Kukui and Incineroar were wondering what I was doing, knowing that I would have had a direct hit with the Z-Move if I used it then, but continued, "Throat Chop!"

I waited for the right moment, "Dodge!" I called out. Once it was clear that she was able to dodge with no harm done to her, I crossed my arms, Winter doing her poses, "Our love and bond shining through," She powered up, "To power us to victory! Use Corkscrew Crash!" I called out, getting a direct and close range hit on Incineroar.

Everyone gasped as they watched it hit Incineroar dead on. When the smoke died down, both Pokemon were still standing and one hit away from being down, "Darkest Lariat!" Kukui called out when he could.

"Dodge!" But Winter was still drained from the Z-Move.

"Winter is unable to battle!" The doctor called out, "Incineroar and the Masked Royal win!"

I quickly ran to take care of Winter, "Alright," I smiled a few minutes later, "Just eat this and rest. You'll be back to normal after that."

Then I went to Incineroar, who was surrounded by kids, "If Winter and Autumn were faster than you two, she would have won!" Riley jumped, trying to keep his excitement down.

Kukui nodded, "She would have. Autumn is a very strong battler."

I rolled my eyes and just started taking care of Incineroar, "She prefers healing then battling," Naomi stated, "We all know that."

"But you have to admit, that was an amazing battle!" Neil cried out.

"I can't believe I saw a Z-Move!" Charly's eyes became stars, "It would have been even cooler if you and Incineroar did your Z-Move."

"But if they did, it would be a one hit battle!" Brenda answered, "Winter's not as experienced as Autumn's other Pokemon."

Sylveon was rocking Winter to sleep though. It was adorable and I just had to take a picture, "Alright Incineroar," I quickly finished, "Just don't use your arm for the rest of the day and you should be fine."

The kids jumped as Incineroar nodded, "Autumn!" Breanna cried out, "When did you get here?!"

"A few minutes ago," I smiled and grabbed Winter again, "I was just making sure Incineroar didn't overdo it and he was at full health again."

"Now, all of you need to be getting back to your rooms," Amelia told them, "It's nap time."

"AW!" They all cried out, pleading.

"You'd better listen to her," I kneeled down to give each of them a hug, "But don't worry," Then I 'whispered', "I'll make sure the Masked Royal comes back for a visit."

The kids all stifled their laughter, "How about a picture before you two go?" Amelia suggested, "For everyone?"

"Great idea," Kukui agreed.

I gave Amelia Roxy as we all got into position of the Masked Royals signature sign off, "Enjoy!" We all cried out.

The picture was perfect. Amelia angled it just the right way to get all the people and Pokemon in the picture, but no IV's, "Thank you Amelia," I smiled, "I'll get copies of this for everyone and give it to them next week."

"Alright," Amelia smiled and led them away, "See you next week."

Once in the car, Professor Kukui quickly changed (mainly just taking off his mask, putting his glasses on, and putting his lab coat on), "Is this where you go every Saturday?" Kukui asked as I drove to the store.

I nodded, "Each one of those kids have some type of cancer, but they should all make it through treatment. I go to, hopefully, put a smile on their faces to help them keep fighting," I smiled fondly, "Their all such great kids."

Professor Kukui smiled and watched me the entire way to the store. When we reached the store, he finally told me what he was thinking. He put a hand on my shoulder and told me, "I'm very proud of who you've become."

The smile never left my face for a few days, but it did give me an idea on something I can give to the kids with their picture frame and picture.
