Chapter 9:

It has been two weeks since the incident, and neither of them has said a word about it. They are on Ula'ula Island, where Luke has agreed to meet the mysterious friend that N sent him to talk to. They are currently in a meadow. Luke is working with Keldeo on forming Focus Blast faster.

"Come on! You've almost got the charge time down to a couple of seconds!" Luke encouraged his trainee as Keldeo formed a Focus Blast within a second and launched it at a nearby bolder, cracking it in half. "Good work, take a break, you've earned it," Luke said, scratching him on his head.

"Thanks." Keldeo flopped down in the shade of a tree near their camp. Luke walked over to the blanket they had set out to sit on. He sat down and started munching on some apples. Ellie was just waking up a nap in her tent, so she came out and started eating as well. Deoxys, or David, was resting off to the side after a spar with Dartrix, Luke's Alolan starter. All of the group's Alolan catches were around as well.

Suddenly they heard a voice. "Hey! You're that kid with the legendary!" Luke and Ellie turned and saw a boy wearing jean shorts, a red tee-shirt, tan vest, and white shoes. He had blueish hair and was staring intently at Luke. "I want him. Give him up!" He pulled out a Pokeball and released a Treecko. "If you don't, I will be forced to fight you and take him myself!"

Luke looked at the Treecko. It was covered in scratches and a couple of bruises. He looked at the newcomer. "Kid, I don't think your pokemon is up for battling. You should get him to the pokemon center."

"Nonsense! Treecko is always ready to battle!"

Luke just stared at him. "No."

"What?"

"No, I won't give you Keldeo. I was trusted with him, and I plan to keep that trust," Luke replied while sending a telepathic message to Keldeo. "Focus Blast on Treeko when I tell you."

Keldeo looked at them. "Got it."

"Fine. Treecko, use Pound!"

The Treecko, hesitantly, followed orders and ran at Luke. "Keldeo, Focus Blast," Luke said lazily. Keldeo opened his mouth, charged a Focus Blast, and sent the poor grass type flying through the air and crashed into the ground at the feet of his trainer.

"You stupid weakling! You lost to a water type. You were supposed to cream him, but you got taken out in one hit!" The kid started kicking his Treecko. "You're worse than that Charmander I left on a rock!"

Suddenly, the kid could not move. He looked over and saw that Luke's eyes were glowing slightly. Oh, crap. He thought.

"I am putting you under civilian arrest for Pokemon abuse. Anything you say or have said can and will be used against you." Luke said, getting up.

"What? You can't do that!" The kid yelled.

"Let's check with Officer Jenny," Luke said calmly as he pulled out his pokegear and called the cops.

Five minutes later, Officer Jenny pulled up. "I got your call. Is this the guy?"

"Yep. As you can see, I froze him mid kick." Luke replied.

"Can you tell me what happened?" the officer asked. Luke proceeded to tell her about the series of events that lead to the current situation. "Well, I can say that you were in the right stopping him. Now let's see who he is.

Officer Jenny reached into the kid's pocket and pulled out his Pokedex. "Hey, I've heard about you, Damien. I believe a Charmander you had was taken in by a kid named Ash."

"Ash? He's an old friend of mine. I'm glad he found a nice fire type to use," Luke said.

"Anyway, Damien, I am putting you under official arrest for Pokemon abuse and abandonment. Luke, could you please release his arms?" Luke complied, and Damien was handcuffed, then lead away once he was fully released from the telekinetic grasp he was trapped in.

"Hey officer, can I take in his Treeko?" Luke asked.

"Sure. I think you will do fine with him. Just try to show him that not all trainers are jerks."

As the officer walked away, a kid wearing black clothes and floppy blond hair came out from the trees. "Nice work. Now can you tell me if you know where a guy named Luke Hunter is?"

Luke and Ellie looked at each other, then started laughing. The teen stood there awkwardly as the two friends composed themselves. Luke then said, "That would be me, I take it you are Gladion? N told me you were looking for some special qualities, and he seemed to think that I fit the bill."

"N contact me to tell me about you, and I think you do show some promise. Now, understand that the origin of this pokemon is top secret. Just know that there are only three in the world. I have one, the third is still trapped in the lab they were created in. If you bond with this pokemon, then his true power will be revealed," he said as he handed Luke a Pokeball and a case holding 16 disks. "The species name is Type: Null. However, if it breaks its mask, then use these disks in the RKS in its head to change its type. Good luck."

"Thanks. I hope we meet again." Luke said, shaking Gladion's hand. The older teen walked away while Ellie turned to Luke.

"Think you can do it?"

"Don't know, but I can try."

A/N Don't know how I feel about this one. I hope you enjoyed, on to reviews.

Latiash: oh boy, here we go again.

Your first question is answered in this chapter.

Sure, but it's not really important most of the time

The next chapter is the plan for the reveal. Her pokemon already know. Keldeo's reaction will be off-screen. They will train together, but they still will travel like they used to because they are used to it.

Most of Kanto will be off-screen, but they probably won't meet.

No, they won't because they are not officially each other's pokemon. If either is seriously injured, they will pose as the other's trainer and hope that Nurse Joy doesn't check ID. For example, look at The Black Latios, Cloud Castle in the Sky, Part Two. It's discussed when the gang goes to the house and finds Ash and Latias there.

Everything mentioned in the last chapter is still open.

See everybody next time!
