The Pokemon Whisperer: Alola

The Z-ring sparkling on his wrist brought back fond nostalgic memories for Dom. It reminded him so much of his Keystone and Mega-Evolution bracelet he still carried in his bag for when Treecko was finally ready for Mega-Evolution as a Sceptile. Speaking of the gecko-pokemon he, Litten and Rockruff were all currently enthralled watching an old Kalos League battle of his on the TV in the motel room he shared with Hau and Lillie. The room was big containing two bedrooms, a sofa, TV and kitchen. Dom offered to be the first one to sleep on the couch that night giving Lillie and Hau a room.

After they had arrived at the motel, with the Pokemon Center next door right down the route from Verdant Cavern a long training session had followed. Dom had wanted to get more training in before his first ever trial and Hau was more then happy to train alongside him. During the training his current Alolan team was beginning to surprise him more and more with how fast they were advancing. His teams in Hoenn and Kalos were nowhere near this advanced at this stage of the journey, and they were some of the strongest Pokemon he had ever seen.

He had to give a lot of the credit to Treecko. He had been making sure that his other two teammates were working their hearts outs and not holding back at all. He was a great leader, and Dom made sure to give him the recognition he deserved. Treecko himself had perfected Energy Ball, his speed was improving even further, and he knew that the gecko-pokemon had to be close to evolving into Grovyle. Litten who Treecko Dom noticed seems to have been officially made the alternate captain, the first mate, the second in command, by the grass-type. Litten had been showing potential to have massive power, he learned Fire Fang during training and was beginning to develop the workings of learning Flame Charge, along with Flamethrower not being far off. Rockruff had began to transition into the team seamlessly and has to Dom's complete surprise was somehow getting even faster, his attacks hit hard and he was so fast he could avoid retaliation it was a great combo.

Now the three team members were taking a well-deserved rest. Hau and Lillie had left for the Pokemon Center to eat dinner at the café, promising to bring Dom some food back. He wasn't feeling particularly hungry, and he also knew he needed to make a few video calls. One he didn't particularly want his two friends to see. He wanted it to be just the two of them when he called her.

The first person he needed to contact however was Professor Sycamore. He wanted to ask the Professor if he's heard anything about Z-moves, in particular similarity to Mega-Evolution. Also, there was still the question about Cosmog.

Seeing some of his Pokemon again would also be a huge boost of confidence going into his first trial.

"It's Mega Sceptile vs Mega Absol in the final battle of this exhilarating Kalos League semi-final! Who will come out on-top!?" Dom heard the TV blast.

Dom turned and smiled slightly. Treecko was sitting with both his legs over the edge of the couch, quite literally on the edge of his seat watching his match. Rockruff was jumping up and down with excitement as the match started and Sceptile and Absol dashed towards each other. Litten while still watching was much calmer then his companions, curling himself up into a ball next to them. He slowly came up behind the couch and watched the replay with a smile on his face.

"Sceptile, Frenzy Plant!" Dom ordered on TV.

"Absol, slash those vines away with Shadow Claw!" Serena countered seconds after Dom finished ordering his attack.

He smiled as he remembered the sequence like it was yesterday.

Sceptile slammed his hands into the ground and vines sprouted up from everywhere on the arena as the crowd went crazy. The vines shot up, and the Mega Absol soared up into the air with its wings, and used both its front claws, which glowed dark purple with a Shadow Claw attack and knocked the vines away causing them to go up in a giant plume of smoke.

"Perfect! Now rapid-fire shadow ball!" Serena yelled out.

TV Dom's eyes widened, "Quick Sceptile, knock them away with Dual Chop!"

A rapid-fire succession of Shadow Ball's got sent towards Sceptile out of the smoke, the first few came so suddenly that Sceptile just barely managed to knock them away with Dual Chop. It sent Dom's first ever Pokemon skittering backwards, but still on his feet. The smoke finally cleared, and the camera panned over to a smiling Serena, with Absol standing in-front of her.

Beautiful as always. Dom pined.

The camera panned back over to Dom on the TV.

"Ha, that was pretty impressive." The TV version of himself said out loud.

The camera went back to Serena who giggled. Hearing her laugh made his heart thump in his chest.

"Haha I know when you battle with Sceptile, you always start with Frenzy Plant to try and catch your opponents off-guard with such a powerful attack to start. I've been watching you battle for almost a year babe you're going to have to do better then that!" She called out to him, causing the whole crowd to go up in cheers.

Dom smiled remembering that the crowd and people watching were absolutely ecstatic to watch him and Serena battle after it went public they were dating. His thoughts were interrupted when he finally looked down and saw all three of his Pokemon smirking at him. He didn't need to hear them talk to know that they were smirking at him from hearing Serena call him 'babe'.

"Ugh, turn it down, I gotta make some calls." He said turning to walk back to his computer.

"Okay… anything you say BABE!" Treecko yelled at him, causing him Litten and Rockruff to fall over laughing.

Dom turned back to the gecko Pokemon with a death glare. "You know I'm about to be on the phone with your father in five minutes… RIGHT!?" He informed the grass-type.

Treecko gulped, only causing Rockruff and Litten to laugh more this time at the Hoenn starters expense. Dom smiled at the bond the three Pokemon seemed to share already. With being able to communicate with them, he understood just how deep the bond between a team of Pokemon can be, and how important it is for success in battles.

Seeing the three of them, reminded him of his old Pokemon who he wanted to see, along with a certain honey-blonde, blue-eyed beauty. He went back over to his laptop, it was finally time to call up Professor Sycamore and Serena.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Well Dom I have to say I'm glad to see you enjoying Alola so much! I'll admit I was quite worried about the state you were in when you left." The Kalos Professor said to him.

Dom sighed and nodded. "Yeah you're right it hasn't been that bad. I've made a few good friends, and my Pokemon are great but… I still miss Kalos." He said honestly.

"Are you still planning to move back here when you turn 18?" He asked.

Dom nodded. "Yeah. I mean I haven't even seen Dad since I got here, so he must not care that much, but as soon as I turn 18 I can leave. It's nice here, but I want a place to myself with all my Pokemon." He told the young Professor.

The Professor nodded. "Yes, you can, but what about everything you told me about? The legendary Pokemon, Cosmog, this Lillie girl, what will you do about them?" He asked.

Dom shrugged. "Eh I'm hoping to have it all figured out by my birthday. I really like Lillie and the people I've met here, but Kalos is where I want to make my home." He explained.

The Kalos Professor smiled in understanding. "Well I'm glad you think of us as such Dom. I'll be sure to do some research into Cosmog, and Z-moves, and see if I can uncover anything for you. I assume you want to talk to Sceptile?" He said to him.

Dom nodded. "Yeah please, I miss the big guy, grab Greninja too." He asked.

"Of course, take care of yourself Dom. Remember I'm always available if you need anything." The Professor said before walking away from the computer.

Dom smiled. He considered Professor Sycamore more of a father to him then his ever had been. His father still hadn't gotten in contact with him yet since he moved in. However, he knew if he tried to leave Alola and go back to Kalos his father would suddenly pop back up and say how he needed to stay, he couldn't be away from him yet. It was weird, but Dom knew as soon as he turned 18 and was legally an adult, he wouldn't need to be obligated to follow his father everywhere. A big house and a ranch for all of his Pokemon… and Serena by his side is all he would need for the rest of his life.

He turned back to the screen, and a mass of green was dominating the screen now. Dom felt his mood rise and smile come onto his face. Sceptile was absolutely massive. He stood at least a foot taller then any other Sceptile you would normally see, his tail a massive bulk of dark green. He sat down in-front of the computer with his piece of grass hanging from the corner of his mouth. Around his neck was a scarf with a still shining Sceptilite in it. Dom smiled, still remembering th day that Steven Stone had given him the Mega-Evolution stone.

"Sceptile." He said, with a breathless smile.

His first ever Pokemon smiled at him and nodded his head. "Ha, it's good to see you Dom! I have to say things have been awfully boring around here without you around." He said.

Dom laughed and shook his head. "You should consider yourself lucky, you wouldn't believe what's been happening to me in the last three days." He explained to his oldest friend.

Sceptile scratched his head and nodded. "Well wherever you go, trouble normally follows. So why don't you tell me all about it? You have that look on your face, you seem like you've been holding back."

Dom looked down but smiled slightly. Sceptile knew him better then he felt he knew himself. He was right, he had been holding back how he felt with almost everyone who's asked him so far, but he knew he couldn't lie to his best-friend.

He sighed and nodded. "You're right. Wait, where's Greninja?" He asked the large grass-type.

Sceptile looked behind him and then back to Dom in confusion. "Huh, he was walking right behind me, maybe he got-."

"MASTER!" A voice yelled, causing Dom and Sceptile to jump.

Dom managed to regain his composure and saw Greninja lower his head down on the screen. It seemed his feet were still hanging from the ceiling, as Dom saw the view of his head upside-down. His normally serious, focused eyes were full of excitement when he saw his trainer as he dropped the ground and bow his head to him.

"It is so good to see you again master!" He said happily as he stood next to Sceptile.

Dom sighed and smiled. "Greninja, how many times have I told you that you don't need to call me 'master'?" He asked the frog Pokemon.

The Kalos starter fell from the ceiling and landed next to Sceptile who looked at him with a smirk. Greninja had a bad habit of popping up out of nowhere and scaring the two of them, it had ever since he was a Froakie at the start of his journey through Kalos. Seeing his two most powerful and loyal Pokemon again forced another smile onto Dom's face and he felt his troubles and worries begin to slowly fade away.

Greninja put both his hands together and bowed the top of his body forward towards the screen. "You tell me often master, however I grant you that title as a form of respect, for it was you who helped me unlock my true potential in battle." He said lifting his head back up.

Dom sighed but managed to maintain his smile. Greninja pulled a chair next to Sceptile and looked at Dom intently. "Are you okay master? I can sense your inner turmoil."

"Me as well Dom. I can't sense it like Greninja, but I can see it written all over your face. Tell us." Sceptile asked him.

Dom sighed and nodded. "You're right. It has been a crazy few days here for me so far. It started from the second my ship got here."

So, for what felt like the next few hours but what actually was probably only a few minutes Dom spilled everything. He told his two most powerful and loyal companions everything that had been happening to him both good and bad. He told them about the prophecy from Tapu Koko, how he wasn't able to talk to a Pokemon for the first time, and how the whole situation made him worry.

"I… I just wanted to come here, lay low for a few months then move back to Kalos when I turned 18. I didn't ask for all of this." He told the two Pokemon.

Sceptile scoffed. "Bah, do you ever? You'll be alright Dom. Remember when we stormed Team Magma's hideout? Or when me you and Greninja, broke into Team Flare's base and battle Yveltal? This is no different."

"He is correct master! If anyone can conquer whatever evil is coming, it is you! You bring out the best in both Pokemon and people! And like Sceptile said, it's not like you haven't encountered this type of situation before." Greninja reassured him.

Dom sighed, he knew he had encountered situations like this before. However, it wasn't the situation that had him worried.

"It's not that it's just… there's no Brenden, May, Serena, or Calem to help me! The trainers here are no slouches, but I… I've never been singled out like this. I was told the fate of a whole region is on my shoulders! It's just a scary feeling." He explained to his two old starters.

Sceptile sighed and leaned forward. "It's a rotten hand you've been dealt Dom I understand. You're worried and you should be, it's no easy task, you're supposed to fight and evil that you have no idea what it even is. But what I'm going to tell you is to stop complaining!" He said with a fierce look.

Dom felt his stomach fall and he tilted his head. Before he could say anything Sceptile went on. "You always taught us, me, Greninja, my son, and everyone that when you're faced with a tough situation you should never sit around and do nothing! Because if you sit around and do nothing but complain, that problem has no chance of being solved. That's what you taught me and everyone else!" He said with Greninja nodding in agreement.

"But Sceptile-."

"No buts! Did you just sit and complain when that meteor was hurling towards Hoenn!?" He demanded of him.

Dom shook his head. "No, but I had Brenden-."

"It doesn't matter if you had Brenden! Did you sit around and do nothing, when Lysandre charged up the ultimate weapon, and Yveltal emerged from the cocoon of destruction!?" He demanded again.

Dom shook his head and sighed. "No… I didn't."

Sceptile nodded again. "Exactly! You knew sitting around and doing nothing wouldn't solve your problem and it's no different now! You go out there, figure out what this Tapu Koko was speaking of and you defeat it! No more sitting around and complaining! Believe in yourself like the rest of us believe in you!" He shouted to his trainer.

Dom sighed and contemplated what his most trusted partner had told him. He knew that Sceptile was right. Ever since that first day he had been doing a lot of worrying and complaining on the situation instead of actively trying to fix it. He had told Lillie the first day he met her, he never sat and did nothing when he had a problem. He faced the problem he had head on and did something about it. It was time for him to now take his own advice. He knew these Island Trials were his best bet, and it was time he started to take them seriously.

"And know master that if you ever need anything that Sceptile and I would be at your side in a moments notice!" Greninja reminded his trainer.

Sceptile nodded. "He's right. We'd transfer ourselves over to you in seconds if you said you needed help! The same can be said with any of your friends, Brenden, May, Calem, Serena. We would all do anything to help you."

Dom sighed and felt some hope begin to flutter up in his chest. "You always know how to set me straight when I was acting ridiculous don't you?" He said to Sceptile.

The Hoenn native chuckled. "Haha what kind of friend would I be if I didn't? Now, you make sure you kick some ass over in Alola, and if you ever have need of Greninja and me, you just call." He assured him.

Greninja nodded in agreement. "He's right master! I look forward to the day I once again fight by your-."

"OI I'LL KICK YOUR ARSE YOU OVER GROWN HOUSE CAT!" A voice from the lab interrupted.

"OH YEAH!? I'LL MAKE MINCED MEET OUT OF YOU AND EAT YOU FOR LUNCH!" A second voice shouted.

Dom, Greninja and Sceptile all sighed. "Are those two STILL at each other's throats?" He asked.

Sceptile nodded. "Yeah, Lucario refuses to give up on her. And Pyroar insists that she's in love with him."

"When in reality she can barely stand either of them." Greninja added.

"Remind me how we made it to a league final?" Dom asked with a small bit of amusement.

Sceptile smiled at him. "Because of you. Even if you couldn't talk to and understand us, you have a way of bringing out the best in Pokemon."

Dom felt himself become slightly embarrassed, but the praise made him feel better. "Thanks buddy… you're right. No more sitting around and complaining. It's time for me to do something and take action." He said.

Sceptile nodded and looked like he was about to say something when a large BOOM made the three of them jump. Sceptile rolled his eyes as a third voice rang through the lab.

"Come on guys! You argue about this like 3 times a week can't we just-. HEY! That flamethrower was awfully close to my head Pyroar! You gotta be-, HEY! Lucario watch your aura spheres! Like I was saying we should all try to-. HEY! OH, THAT'S IT NOW I'M PISSED!" Dom heard the distinct voice of his Flygon yell.

Dom looked concerned while Sceptile just shook his head disapprovingly as if it was a completely normal occurrence. He turned to Greninja who had a similar disapproving look on his face.

"Greninja please go and calm them down. If they keep arguing come and get me. If Flygon starts getting angry then the Professor is going to need to REALLY shell out for repairs." He told the ninja-frog Pokemon.

Greninja nodded dutifully and turned back to Dom bowing his top half again. "It was great seeing you again master, please remember if you ever have need of Sceptile or me, do not hesitate to call." He said before darting off into the lab, towards the noise.

After Greninja was out of the room Sceptile turned back to Dom a smile returning to his face. Dom knew if they wanted too he and Sceptile could sit at that computer and talk for hours about their old adventures and the new ones they had coming. He considered Brenden to be his quote on quote best-friend since he was the first one to truly get him to open up, he was he first one Dom told about his ability to talk to Pokemon, Brenden is the reason he went on a journey.

However, Sceptile, was the most important pokemon/person to him.

"So, you told me your team was coming along nicely, how's my boy doing?" He asked.

This caused Dom to smile. "I'll be honest, he's doing even better then I thought. He's a natural born leader, doesn't let the others take any battles off. They're a lot further along than the Kalos or the Hoenn team were at this point!" He said excitedly.

Sceptile laughed and smiled. "HA! That's my boy! Like I told you before you left Dom, that kid just has the look in his eye. He's going to be even more powerful then I was. Ha, you remember me at his age? Remember how terrible our first gym battle went?" He asked.

Dom nodded with a nostalgic smile. He remembered liked it was yesterday. It had taken him and Sceptile, Treecko at the time three tries to beat Roxanne at the Rustboro gym. Dom remembered at that point he was almost ready to give up. Brenden had swept Roxanne with just Mudkip, and May had dominated at the Rustboro City contest to win her first ribbon. He remembered he was ready to give up and go home, until that night when he walked outside after waking up in the middle of the night.

Outside he found Treecko relentlessly practicing his moves, looking as if he had been out there training for hours. He decided that night he owed it to his Pokemon, to put in just as much effort and determination as he was. The two stayed up training for hours after that. Brenden and May found the two of them asleep on the bench in the Pokemon Center backyard the next morning. That same day they took on and dominated Roxanne and won their first badge in Hoenn.

"You bet I do. He gets a little cocky sometimes, but he has your work ethic and just keeps getting stronger. I'm really proud of him, he hopes to Mega-Evolve and beat you one day." He told the fully evolved Hoenn starter.

"I'm proud of him as well. If he keeps on this path he'll Mega-evolve for sure. As for defeating me… ha well I won't make it easy for him." He said with a smirk.

Dom laughed and nodded his head. "Haha I'm sure he wouldn't want you too. I got a good feeling about this group so far, and it's not even full yet! Treecko's a natural born leader, I really think we can-."

"DAD!" Dom herd as he felt Treecko's tiny paws climb up his back and onto his shoulder.

"OH DAD! Just you wait till I tell you all about what's happened! We're going on Island Trials, I'm going to be able to use a Z-move soon, we fought evil team grunts, me and Dom saved this girl and her Pokemon from Spearow, Dom really likes her, but he just won't admit-." Dom clamped his hand around Treecko's mouth before the gecko could finish the sentence.

While Dom shot Treecko a death glare Sceptile laughed on the other end. "Haha! It's good to see you too my boy. You've been behaving for Dom, now right?" He said narrowing his eyes slightly.

Treecko looked over at Dom nervously for a second before his smile returned and he laughed. "You bet I have! I've been leading the team just like you taught me! We're training really, REALLY hard, just you wait before long we're going to be battling!"

Dom smiled at the father and son moment, and Sceptile simply nodded with a proud look. "Ha, well I look forward to it! Now why don't you tell me about-."

"KNOCK IT OFF THE THREE OF YOU!" Dom heard Greninja yell in the background.

"HE STARTED IT!" "HE STARTED IT!" "THEY STARTED IT!" They heard a chorus of three voices yell, followed by more yelling, attacks, and very unpleasant words being tossed around.

Sceptile sighed in annoyance before looking back at Dom and Treecko. "I'm sorry to cut this short, but if I don't go break that up, the lab may catch on fire." He deadpanned.

Treecko looked upset but Dom shook his head. "No worries Sceptile. Tell them DOM said to knock it off before I have to come back there."

"But Dad! I need to tell you about all the other cool stuff we've done!" Treecko whined.

Sceptile smiled. "No worries son, we'll have plenty more opportunities, and before you know it we'll see each other, and we can finally have that battle. I'm proud of you, keep an eye on Dom and keep up the great work!" He said encouragingly.

Treecko still seemed upset but nodded his head. Sceptile looked back at Dom and nodded. "And you Dom, remember what I said. If you need ANY help at all, me, Greninja, or any of us will be over there as fast as we can. Good luck old friend."

Dom nodded and took in a deep breath. "Thanks, Sceptile… you always know what to say."

Sceptile nodded with a smile before turning away from the camera. "If I come in there and ANYTHING is one fire or has a hole I'M NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY!" He yelled before Dom and Treecko laugh, and he ended the chat.

Dom sighed and looked over to Treecko. "Where are Litten and Rockruff?" He asked.

Treecko pointed over to the couch. "They both fell asleep. I'm going to do the same too, I need to rest up before the trial!" He said excitedly.

Dom nodded, smiling at his enthusiasm. "Okay, Hau and Lillie will be back later. I'll be here I… gotta call Serena." He told Treecko.

Dom knew Treecko was a goof most of the time, but he understood when a topic was serious and when it wasn't. He nodded and walked over to the couch to curl up next to Rockruff and Litten.

Dom looked at the screen and took in a deep breath, apprehension filling his body.

"I can't do a long-distance relationship… it'll hurt me too much."

"Dom I… I love you I really do but… I'm sorry for now it's over."

"You'll always be my best-friend and have a special place in my heart."

All of the lines replayed in Dom's head like a video on repeat. He will never forget how hurt and how empty he felt the first few days on the cruise after he left. He realized later she had fair points, but it didn't stop him from feeling so crushed. Now he was about to see her again. He had no idea if he was ready or not. However, he knew if he didn't do it now, he would keep on procrastinating and procrastinating it, and then she would really forget him.

Like Sceptile said, he had done enough sitting around, complaining and mopping, it was time to do something.

"Come on Dom it's just Serena…" He said to himself as he scrolled down the list of contacts on his computer.

When he finally saw her name pop up, he felt himself freeze. Serena Yvonne. The name was right there, ready for him to click. Ready for him to call her and see her face again. He felt alarm bells going off all over his head as he scrolled the cursor over her name. They were screaming, shouting at him not to click on it. His body finally overpowered his mind after a minute of debate, and he clicked the cursor.

Right away when the dial tone started on the screen, he felt the air filter out of him like a balloon as he slumped down into his seat. What was he going to say? What was going to be the first words he said to her?

'Hey Serena, everything's been peachy keen here in Alola since I had to leave you and my heart was ripped out, hope everything's going great! Say hi to Grace for me!'

"Ohhh man this was a bad idea." He said, slumping down even further.

The word connecting came up onto the screen and the air was suddenly sucked back into Dom's body as he sat up, attempting to compose himself. He hastily tried to fix his messy brown hair with his hands, while looking at the screen that had the tiny image of himself inside of it.

"Hey Serena… how you been?" He said.

"Serena… fancy seeing you there… no that's stupid." He said again regretting it.

"Oh hey! Serena… how you doing?" He practiced again.

"You know I can hear you, and you sound stupider with each response." He heard Treecko mutter as his head poked up from behind the coach.

"Shut up!" Dom hissed turning his chair around towards the gecko-pokemon.

Treecko simply laughed at his trainers flustered expression and set his head back down to drift into a cheez-it filled dream. Dom sighed, and froze when he heard the sweetest voice he'd heard all day come from his laptop.

"I… hope it's not me you're telling to shut up, I haven't even had the chance to be annoying yet." It said.

Dom swung his chair around so fast, that it almost fell off its wheels. There she was, on the screen. Serena. She looked just as beautiful as how he remembered. Her long honey-blonde hair was down cascading around her shoulders, as she wore a pink sleeping gown, her eyes as blue as the crystal waters in Alola.

Dom went right into panic mode. "No, no, no, no! I wasn't talking to you! Treecko, the little green devil was making stupid jokes when I was getting ready and-."

Her laughed stopped him from talking, and the laugh also made his heart almost leap out of his chest. That laughed had gotten him through so many tough times, and her smile never failed to bring one to his face as well. Hearing it and seeing that smile after so long almost brought tears to his eyes.

"Hahaha don't worry I know. How is Treecko? Does he still have his little obsession?" She asked him.

He nodded letting out a relieved sigh. "Oh yeah you bet he does. He went through the entire houses supply in a day. I keep telling him it's unhealthy!"

She laughed again and nodded. "So, are you at the house now? How was the cruise there?" She asked him.

It was his turn to laugh. "No, I'm at a motel on one of the Islands right now, the cruise was great but wait until I tell you about the last few days I've had."

The next ten minutes consisted of Dom breaking telling his former girlfriend everything that had happened to him in the last few days. He excluded the part about Tapu Koko naming him a prophecy hero however, deciding he didn't want to worry her. He knew she tended to worry even more than most when her friends were in danger. By the time he finished talking to her and got to the point where he was currently at a motel before his first trial, all of his worry had faded away. It was just Serena, he had no idea what he had worried himself so much about. She was the only person in the world where he felt words just rolled naturally off his tongue when speaking too.

"I'm so glad that you're enjoying yourself Dom, I can't wait to meet your friends, where are they now?" She asked him.

Dom laughed and scratched his nose. "Haha, Lillie and Hau are both out getting dinner right now at the Pokemon Center. I decided to stay behind and call Professor Sycamore and you."

She nodded in understanding. "So, tell me, what are they like? Anything like your old traveling groups?"

Dom smiled thinking of his two new friends. "Hau is a new trainer, he's the grandson of the Kahuna here on Melemele Island. I'll tell you Serena he's going to be really good, he has a natural way with Pokemon, and I've never met someone so enthusiastic and wanting to learn." He explained.

"Well traveling with his 'idol' must really help him haha." She teased.

Dom felt himself blush slightly with embarrassment. "Haha yeah I guess it does. Just you wait, if he walks in and sees you on the screen he might just faint from the excitement." He said honestly.

"Haha, well I hope I do get to meet him. So how about this Lillie girl, what's she like?" She asked him with her sweet laugh.

Dom felt something stir in the pit of his stomach, and mentally slapped himself before he could even make an attempt at blushing from the mention of Lillie's name.

"Lillie's… really great. She comes off as like really shy when you first meet her, but after she opens up she's so much fun to talk to. She's one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, always caring about other people and Pokemon before herself. You may not think it when you meet her at first but she's also incredibly brave. What she did… saving Nebby from being experimented on, going on this journey to help him get home? That… that's just really incredible to me." He said not realizing how long he rambled on.

When he did finally realize his eyes went wide, but Serena cut him off before he could say anything. "Wow Dom… it sounds like you really like her." She said not sounding particularly upset, or happy.

Dom's happy mood crumbled within milliseconds. He looked at Serena, his eyes falling. "It's not like that Serena. You… know plenty well how I feel I made that clear before I left."

Serena's blue eyes seemed to fall even further then Dom's. "Dom I-."

"I still love you. Has it been as hard for you as it has been for me?" He asked desperately wanting to hear her answer.

She was quiet for a moment before taking in a sigh. "Of course, it has been Dom… you and me both know it wouldn't have worked out with you going so far."

Dom's head quickly shot up. "Well I won't be gone for much longer! I turn 18 in a few months, remember that ranch we saw in Coumarine City!? The one Ramos said was being put on sale!?" He fervently asked.

She tilted her head in confusion. "Yes… but what does that have to do with anything?"

He had told Serena that he planned on coming back when turned 18, but the ranch and house were supposed to be a surprise.

"I'm buying it! Ramos is letting me buy it with my saved-up winnings from the Hoenn and Kalos leagues! I… I want you to move there with me when I come back! Me, you, and a giant house with all the room in the world for our Pokemon!" He said excitedly.

Dom's eyes didn't move from Serena whose own pair of eyes were locked in a stunned expression. Dom didn't know if it was a good, or bad shock that she was experiencing at that moment, but all he wanted to hear was her response to what he had just said.

After a minute or so she finally seemed able to formulate a sentence. "Dom I… I-."

Her sentence was cut off by a distinct male voice ringing from her living room. "Serena? Sorry to come over unannounced but I ran into your mom earlier and she told me you guys were making macarons and you know I could never resist-."

"Calem!" Dom said excitedly seeing his old Kalos rival and friend.

The champion of last years Kalos League came into the cameras view. He was dressed in his usual blue long-sleeved jacket, along with a red pokemon league cap. His black hair was slightly longer, and his green eyes widened with excitement when he saw Dom.

"Dom! Ha, it's so amazing to see you man, how's your tropical island paradise?" He asked taking a seat next to Serena who undenounced to Dom had a pure look of nervousness on her face.

Dom smiled at his old friends and shook his head. "Ha nothing to complain about so far! How about you, how's the Elite Four challenge going!?" He asked, eager to catch up with him.

Calem held up two fingers. "Two down two to go! I just beat Wickstrom this past week, so far, I've taken down him and Malva. I got my battle against Siebold in a few weeks, then after that Drasna!" He said just as excited.

Dom smiled. He would have loved nothing more then to be challenging the Kalos Elite Four currently, still in Kalos, Serena cheering him on, a chance to become the champion of the region he considered home. However, if he had to choose anyone other then himself to take part, it would be Calem.

"Haha before you know it you'll be taking on Diantha! Man, it's so good to see the both of you again. You're some of my best-friends I miss you both more then anything." He said honestly, missing their traveling days.

At this Calem turned to Serena, who was attempting to hide her face. A realization seemed to hit the Kalosian trainer and soon his face fell similarly to Serena. Dom wore a look of confusion on his face. His two friends looked like they had just committed one of the worse crimes in the world, but Dom had no idea why. After being away from them for so long they could do almost anything and he still wouldn't care, he'd give anything to be with them again.

Calem slowly stood up. "Well uh, it was great seeing you Dom! I need to get back home before my Mom has a-. OW!" He yelled as his ear was fiercely gripped by Serena who pulled him back down to his seat.

Before Dom could ask why she did it Serena turned back to him. "Dom, BOTH Calem and I… we… we need to tell you something, and… you're not going to like it. You're going to hate us for it." She said, trying to keep her composure, the sadness in her voice evident.

Dom tilted his head in confusion now. "What is it? Come on you guys it can't be that bad. You guys are some of my best-friends, after being pulled away from you like I was, nothing you guys do could ever make me hate either of you." He promised the two Kalosian trainers.

At his words Serena seemed to be ready to cry, while Calem looked as if he had just gotten punched in the gut by a Machamp. Serena carefully managed to form the beginnings of her next sentence.

"Dom… Calem and I we… we-."

Dom's head shot around when he heard the door in his room click. A voice came through that despite the fact Dom loved him, he really didn't want to hear at the moment.

"Hey Dom! We're back Lillie, and I brought you some Malasada's from-." Hau began before he was sharply cut off by Lillie.

"Hau I told you, you shouldn't eat Malasada's this late it's not good for you!" Lillie stressed as she walked in behind Hau with a white takeout bag.

"Anytime is Malasada time! So, Dom did you-." He froze when he looked over at Dom and saw his laptop open.

Lillie placed the bag on the kitchen counter before speaking up as well. "Don't worry Dom I got you actual food-." She said before freezing at the sight of the screen along with Hau.

The five teens all sat there for a few moments trying to digest all that had happened. Dom's eye stayed on Serena and Calem, who were looking over at Lillie and Hau, while Hau's seemed to be shaking in his shoes from excitement, Lillie looked as if she'd have preferred to be anywhere else but there in the world at that moment. Dom racked his brain, trying to think of something to say.

"I… didn't know you guys were going to be back so soon. Um these are my friends-."

"CALEM COPELAND AND SERENA YVONNE!?" Hau screamed running over to the computer screen, knocking Dom off his chair in the process.

Lillie quickly hurried over and helped him back to his feet, as Hau's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"THE THREE HEROES OF KALOS ALL IN THE SAME ROOM! Serena you're even more beautiful in person! Calem I watched your last Elite Four battle and it was SO awesome!" Hau started complimenting the words continuously spewing from his mouth.

Dom and Lillie sweat-dropped. The platinum blonde turned to Dom with a concerned look. "Are you okay?" She asked.

He looked at Hau who was still talking to a very confused looking Calem and Serena and nodded. "Yeah… I'm okay thanks." He said looking at Serena on screen.

Lillie nodded and shifted uncomfortably. "So… who are they again? Hau was screaming I kind of couldn't hear."

Dom sighed. "That's Calem and Serena, some of my best-friends. I went on my Kalos journey with them. Calem he's the one who beat me in the Kalos League and Serena she's… my ex-girlfriend." He said carefully.

Lillie looked as if a bowling ball had just been thrown into her stomach, as the color drained from her face and she looked down suddenly very interested in the floor. Dom noticed this and felt his heart thump in his chest. He hated seeing her like that. She looked back up and towards Serena's face on screen.

"She's… really beautiful." She said, as carefully as she could.

Dom rubbed the back of his head uncomfortably. "Uhh… yeah we met-."

"AND THE BATTLE BETWEEN YOU AND DOM!? THE MOST AMAZING BATTLE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!" Hau shouted, finally seeming to take a breath.

Seeing Hau finally stop talking Dom knew he needed to end the call as quickly as possible. He didn't want his new friends thinking he was nothing but a love-struck puppy, or that he didn't want to be with them right now. He forced Hau off the seat and came back in-front of the screen, seeing a shocked and confused Calem and Serena.

"Thank you Hau! Guys I'm sorry about him he's just a big fan." He said laughing nervously.

Hau stood back up and laughed in a similarly nervous way, seemingly realizing he just freaked out in-front of his heroes.

"Ahaha yeah sorry about that. It's just you guys are my heroes! If not for me watching, you guys in the Kalos League last year, I don't know if I even would have wanted to go on a journey!" He said holding his hands behind his head.

Serena smiled, along with Calem whatever was troubling them being gone for the moment. "Aw that's sweet. I'm glad we could inspire you like that Hau." Serena said sweetly.

"Yeah, you keep working hard there's no limit to how good you can be! All it takes is hard work and trust in your Pokemon." Calem said inspiringly.

Hau seemed to blush at the praise before Dom stole the attention back. "Well I guess it's time for proper introductions. "Serena, Calem, there are my friends from Alola. This goofball over here is Hau."

"Nice to meet ya!" He said happily from one side of him.

Dom turned to his other side and saw Lillie standing there with her head down. Dom lightly tapped her arm and her head shot up and was met by Dom's smile. Seeing it made, the blonde hair girl let out a deep breath and smile as well.

"And this is Lillie, the one who saved me from a seriously bad infection on my first day here." He said trying to lighten the mood.

Lillie's face went slightly red, but she smiled. "It was nothing… It's nice to meet the two of you." She said giving them both a small smile.

Dom looked back and a small smile came to Serena's face. "It's nice to meet you both too. Thanks for patching him up Lillie, as I'm sure you'll learn Dom tends to act stupidly brave sometimes."

"That's an understatement." Calem commented.

"Hey I do not!" He protested glaring at the two Kalosian trainers.

Both of them glared at him.

"Hoopa." Calem said simply.

"Volcanion." Serena said.

"Yveltal." Calem said again.

"That time at the Tower of Mastery." Serena commented again.

Dom put his hands up in defeat. "Okay, okay you made your point!" He said, causing the group to laugh, even Lillie managed to let out a small chuckle.

After the laughter finally, subsided Serena looked over at the time on her laptop. She bit the bottom of her lip, before looking back at Dom.

"Well Dom we should get going, its's getting late. It… was great seeing you. Good luck at the first trial." She said to him.

Dom's happy mood dimmed down. He would have stayed in-front of that computer for days if it meant that he could continue seeing her. However, he looked at the clock and it was approaching 9:30 at night, and he knew Kalos had to be in a different time zone, making it later there. Reluctantly he sighed and nodded his head.

"Okay… thanks, I'll be sure to call you guys again soon! Calem, good luck against Siebold I'm going to try my best to watch it. I don't know how I'll get Kalos battles in Alola, but I'm sure Hau has a way." He said to the league champion.

Calem shot a glare towards Serena before turning back to Dom with a reluctant smile. "Thanks man… good luck with the trials. After you become the first Alolan Champion and I take the Kalos crown we'll battle again." He said pumping his fist.

Dom felt a surge of excitement run through him. "You got it, except this time the result… may be a little different." He said with a smirk.

Calem nodded before Serena spoke up again. "We'll talk again soon okay? And Dom… I'm sorry." She said with a quivering voice.

Dom sighed and shook his head. "Serena you don't have to be sorry. You were right long-distance wouldn't have been good. As soon as I turn 18 though it'll be different! So, don't apologize, just be excited for when I come back!" He said trying to cheer her up.

The tear finally rolled down Serena's cheek as she slowly nodded her head. "Okay… bye." She said, quickly ending the video chat.

Dom sighed as he, Hau and Lillie sat in silence for a few moments. The silence would have continued for hours, before it was inevitably broken by Hau.

He leaned back in his chair and let out an excited laugh. "HAHAHA! I just met Calem Copeland and Serena Yvonne! Arceus, this day can't get any better! And they're so nice too!" He said excitedly.

Dom laughed embarrassed. "Ahaha, yeah they are." He said.

Lillie finally managed to find her voice as well. "They were very nice… what about your other friends Dom? The ones you told us you traveled with from Hoenn?" She asked, clearly wanting the subject to no longer be about Serena.

Dom turned to her. "Brenden and May? They're awesome too. May's know as the 'Queen of Hoenn' she's the top coordinator in the region! And Brenden is a member of the Elite Four, he was one Pokemon away from becoming champion. I called them my first night here, I wonder what they're up too."

Mossdeep City, Hoenn Region.

"Alright Hoenn! Make sure you come on out to the annual Hoenn vs Sinnoh challenge next month where me and Lucas are going to battle it out!" He said smiling into the camera.

"That's right Brenden! Make sure you all come on out to Ever Grande City July 22nd, tickets go on sale now!" The Sinnoh native said with a thumbs up.

"And this year Hoenn's going to take back the title believe it!" The Hoenn Elite said with enthusiasm.

"Okay and cut! Brenden, Lucas that's a wrap. Great job today everyone." The old director said climbing up from his chair.

All at once the bustling commercial set came back to life. People started moving equipment out, taking down the props and the backdrop. Brenden finally was able to let himself breath. He had been doing a lot of TV appearances and commercials in the year since he became a member of the Hoenn Elite Four, however he still wasn't used to them. The public appearances and talk shows were fine, but commercials where he had a script and specific ways he had to act and maneuver he would never get used too. He looked down at his watch and was relieved to see the time he was supposed to meet with Steven was coming soon.

It was a happy coincidence for Brenden that Steven happened to be available to talk with him the day he was due to shoot this commercial in Mossdeep. He had called him the morning after he spoke to Dom to explain the situation. Steven was the only person outside of a himself, May, Calem, Serena and Professor's Sycamore and Birch that knew of his special ability. Safe to say he was just as baffled by the idea of a Pokemon Dom can't speak too as he and May were. Speaking of his lovely girlfriend, she had gone back to Littleroot for the past few days to see what she could dig up with her dad on Cosmog.

"It's always good seeing you Brenden." Lucas told him, breaking him out of his little trance.

Lucas Kouki was the newest member of the Sinnoh Regions Elite Four. Much like Brenden he had taken the spot of Bertha, after coming one Pokemon short of beating the Sinnoh Champion Cynthia. Brenden really liked Lucas, they had a ton in common. They liked the same music, ramen was both of their favorite foods, they both had coordinator girlfriends, Tragedy of The SS Anne was their favorite movie.

They also both along with their friends took down a criminal syndicate and saved the region they lived in from ultimate destruction. Things like that tended to bring two people closer together.

Brenden gave the blue haired Sinnoh native a smile. "You too man! How's Dawn been doing?"

"She's been doing great, she just got an invitation to be a special judge at the Wallace Cup in a few weeks. They're hosting it over in Kalos this year." He explained to him as they made their way to the lunch buffet that was set out.

Brenden grabbed a giant chocolate cookie and stuffed it in his mouth. "Oh yeah, May got an invitation for that too. Why are they hosting it in Kalos this year, I thought they didn't have contests?" He asked.

Lucas shrugged his shoulder, stuffing a cupcake in his mouth. "I don't know. Dawn said something about trying to combine Pokemon Performances, and Contests? Eh you know how they get when they start talking about all contests and stuff." He said.

"Do I ever." Brenden muttered downing a bottle of lemonade.

He looked down at his watch again, and his eyes widened when he realized he needed to get to Steven's house soon. He stuffed a few extra cookies into his pockets for good measure. He may not like doing these commercials very much, but the food was absolutely top class.

"Sorry to cut it short Lucas, but I gotta go meet up with Steven. I guess I'll see you in Kalos in a few weeks?" He asked the Sinnoh Elite.

Lucas nodded with a mouth full of pudding before swallowing. "You bet, no doubt Dawn will drag me there with her. I'll see you there." He said with a smile.

Brenden nodded and gave his friend a quick fist bump. "Sweet, I'll see you there then. We can save each other from hours of shopping, overpriced coffee, and lots of selfies."

The two Elite Four members managed a laugh. "Haha, you know what they say Bren. Kids who had to take down criminal syndicates and save a region gotta stick together." He said getting another laugh from Brenden.

He bid his goodbyes his Sinnoh friend and quickly made his way out of the recording studio. It was a beautiful day in Mossdeep City as it normally was. The sun was out, without a single cloud in the sky, it was the closest to a perfect day that Brenden had seen in a long time. He winded his way through the city streets, trying his best to avoid anyone with a camera, and groups of girls who giggled and waved at him when he passed. No matter how many public appearances he made with May they never stopped.

His girlfriend had been extra worried ever since their call with Dom a few days prior. The very next morning she made he way back to Littleroot, to get to work researching and other then a few texts Brenden hadn't heard from her since. One of the things he loved about May was how determined she got once she set her mind to something.

He really missed his best-friend as was just as worried about him as May was. He liked to think he knew Dom just as well if not better then anyone. When he called them, the worry and doubt he heard in his friend's voice scared him. He knew that after all the times Dom had saved and helped him during his journey, it was his turn to repay the favor. He hadn't seen him in person since his celebration in Lumiose City after the league and whole Team Flare debacle, but he knew his friend was hurting in more ways than one.

And he was going to do everything he could to help him. He couldn't really make a trip to Alola now, with the Hoenn vs Sinnoh Challenge next month and the Wallace Cup in a few weeks. However, after that, he and May had agreed they would make the trip there to help their friend anyway that they could. Whether that be helping Dom fight some evil he was destined to defeat, or just help him with his relationship problems.

However, as he walked up to Steven's house, he assumed the relationship problems probably weren't the biggest issue for Dom right now.

Brenden knocked on the door of the Hoenn Champion and moments later the most powerful trainer in Hoenn answered. He wore his usual attire and smiled happily down at Brenden who shot him a quick nod.

"Ah good to see you Brenden! I trust the commercial went well?" He asked, inviting the young Elite into his home.

Brenden nodded his thanks and made his way inside, plopping down onto the couch that he had been to many times.

"It went pretty good! Only took me 27 takes this time." He said, feeling particularly proud of himself.

Steven chuckled and emerged from his kitchen with two cans of lemonade, which Brenden happily opened.

"Haha, well I would say you're improving. At least I know you'll take the actual Hoenn Sinnoh Challenge more seriously. We really need to pull out a win this year, this Lucas is a powerful trainer." He mentioned crossing his legs, as he sat across from Brenden.

The young Elite nodded in agreement. "You can say that again. Kid took down Team Galactic over in Sinnoh rumor has it he battled Dialga and Palkia." He said, sounding impressed.

Steven nodded. "Well that's why we selected the kid who took down Team Magma, beat Primal Groudon, and Mega Raquazza, before riding him into space and destroying a meteor."

Brenden shrugged. "Who's comparing?"

The two shared a laugh before the look on Steven's face grew grim. "Speaking of that situation, have you heard from Dom again since you last spoke?" He asked.

He shook his head. "No, but May and I have been working round the clock to try and figure everything out. What's Cosmog? Why can't Dom talk to it? What's this 'Endless Darkness' he's supposed to defeat?" He said rattling off the questions the three had.

"Well Cosmog doesn't ring any bells for me, however I could tell you the story of the Ancient Alolan Deity's." He said clearing his throat to speak.

Brenden rolled his eyes. "There's no way out of this history lesson is there?" He asked, knowing Steven could go on for hours about ancient history.

"No, now hush." Steven said before clearing his throat again.

Brenden sighed and leaned back on his chair, ready for an earful.

"Now as you know the Alola Region is made up of four Islands. Melemele, Akala, Ula' Ula, and Poni. Each Island is guarded by it's Island Guardian, legendary Pokemon. There names are Tapu Lele, Fini, Bulu and Koko." He began.

"Tapu Koko is that one that Dom ran into." Brenden commented, getting a nod from the Hoenn Champion.

"That's correct. Tapu Koko is said to be the strongest of the four. Long ago, these four guardians had a great battle at the Altar of the Sun, against a force of powerful invading Pokemon known as Ultra Beasts!" He said dramatically holding his hand in the air.

"Okay… no need to be dramatic, but what's an Ultra Beast?" Brenden asked, eating one of the cookies he stole from the commercial set.

"Ultra-Beasts are similar to Pokemon. They're creatures with immense power, who come from Ultra Wormholes, rifts in the dimensions. That's where they come from, different dimensions! They're extremely powerful, and long ago they tried to invade Alola, and the world." Steven said sagely, he must have really been practicing his theater performances.

Brenden however, ignored the Champions antic and dropped the cookie he had in his hand.

"She asked me to help get Nebby back to its home. She said it was from a different world." Dom's voice rang through his head.

"That's it!" He exclaimed standing up.

Steven however was till very enthralled in his performance. "Brenden, it's rude to interrupt!" He said.

"But Steven-."

"And so, the Island Guardians beat back the Ultra-Beasts… only for them to later be attacked by… the blinding one!" He said dramatically lowering his head.

"Steven you can stop now I think I-."

"You can't interrupt true genius Brenden!" He said, causing Brenden to sigh.

He decided he would let Steven finish. He gestured for the Champion to continue.

Steven nodded and did so. "The blinding one, known as Necrozma devoured all light it came across! With each bit of light, it devoured, the stronger it became! It even devoured the light of the legendary Pokemon Solgaleo and Lunala, who the Tapu's had called upon to help them! Until Alola was cloaked in endless darkness…"

Brenden felt his legs get weak, as more cookies fell out of his pockets and onto Steven's floor. He was glad he decided to indulge the champion now and let him tell his story.

"He said I needed to 'save the world from endless darkness'." Dom's voice rang once again in his head.

He was too stunned to speak, as Steven continued his story. "Necrozma assumed its ULTIMATE FORM! And all hoped seemed lost… until the Tapu's were aided by the Ancient King of Alola, King Maui." He continued on.

Brenden did his best to listen to the rest of Steven's tale, knowing some of the information could be important. However, his thoughts were readily on his best-friend and the fate he may soon face.

"King Maui allied himself with the Tapu's, in particular Tapu Koko. Together, with a shattered piece of Necorozma itself, King Maui and Tapu Koko unleashed the first ever Z-MOVE! The Tapu and the King's Z-move was so powerful, it shattered Necrozma, causing it to be injured and unable to assume its ultimate form…. Solgaleo and Lunala were saved, and together King Maui and the legendary Pokemon defeated Necrozma, sending it back to Ultra Space, and bringing the light back to Alola. The pieces of Necrozma's shattered body, were expelled across Alola, forming what we know today as Z-crystals." He finished, folding his hands together in a dramatic manner, turning his back to Brenden.

The color had drained from Brenden's face. He hoped with all his heart that everything he was thinking right now was completely wrong. Tapu Koko had not told Dom he was destined to battle Necrozma, the little cloud Dom saved was not an Ultra Beast, and his best-friend was most certainly not walking into this all unknowingly.

Steven finally seemed to shed his theater persona and turned back to Brenden with a smile, which quickly turned to a frown. "Huh, most people clap… so what was it you were trying to tell me Brenden?" He asked him.

Brenden quickly pulled out his cell-phone. "I hope I'm wrong…" He said scrolling down to find May's number.

He requested a video chat and he and Steven sat anxiously in-front of the phone screen. When his girlfriend finally did pick up, the first thing he heard was the gusts of wind blowing violently through the phone. He recoiled but then looked at May whose brown pig-tails were blowing behind her, as she looked at the phone screen, with a terrified look.

"Brenden!" She yelled over the wind.

"May! Where are you!? Are you in the air?" He asked her worriedly.

She nodded. "I am, I had to get to Mossdeep! Me and my Dad found something on Cosmog, and with it a lot more then we bargained for!" She yelled as Brenden almost dropped the phone.

He fixed himself and looked at the screen again. "I think Steven and me found something too! And May… it's really, REALLY bad, Dom could be in some serious trouble." He said fearfully.

May nodded fervently. "You're right about that! It turns out Cosmog is something called an Ultra Beast! Have you heard the story of the Alolan Island Guardians!? And the Blinding One!?" She asked him.

Brenden's face paled even more as he nodded. "Yeah… Steven just got done telling me about it, May we need to get ahold of-."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM.

The very foundation of Steven's house shook to its core. Brenden recoiled and dropped his phone falling over, with Steven not far behind him. Shelves fell, cabinets swung open, spilling out glasses, plates, shattering them upon impact with the ground. Furniture was turned over, and every-time that Brenden or Steven attempted to stand, they were knocked back to the carpeted floor. Brenden finally subsided that he should hold for the tremors to pass and laid on the ground with his hands over his head, until the shaking eventually subsided.

"BRENDEN!? BRENDEN ARE YOU THERE!?" He heard May's voice screaming over his phone.

He rubbed the back of his head and slowly sat himself up, seeing his phone sitting not far from him. He quickly grabbed it showing May that he was okay before looking at Steven who was slowly getting up to his feet.

"What the hell was that!?" The Hoenn champion cursed stumbling up to his feet.

"I don't know!" Brenden said just as confused.

"Brenden… you should look out the window." He heard May say fearfully.

Brenden and Steven both rushed over to Steven's window which had been flung open during the quake. His mouth dropped open when he saw the sight. Above Mossdeep Space Center, was a giant purple portal rippling in the sky, filling the area around it with dark purple aura. People were running through the streets around Steven's panicking, screaming, trying to find their loved ones, one guy had kicked in the glass behind a vending machine and started stuffing his pockets with multiple chips and sodas.

It was turning to absolute chaos, as police sirens blared, and zoomed past the champions house.

Steven gripped Brenden's shoulder. "Brenden! We need to get to that portal and figure out what's going on, it's our duty!" He said sternly.

Brenden nodded dutifully, it was the job of the Champion and Elite Four to protect the region they represented. Brenden looked back down to May.

"How close are you!?" He asked her.

"I'm coming over Slateport now! I'll get there as soon as I can! Come on Lati, lets kick it into high gear!" She yelled before hanging up the phone.

Brenden slipped the phone back into his pocket and took one more gaze outside his window. The portal rippled through the sky of a day that had less then an hour ago Brenden dubbed 'perfect'. Whatever, or whoever was coming out of that portal, was destroying his region.

And Brenden would always be around to protect his region.

He turned to Steven. "Let's get going!" He said as he and the Champion burst out the door.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

Brenden dodged screaming people running through the streets as he and Steven made their way closer to the space station. As they got closer and closer, the sky got a darker and darker shade of purple, and Brenden felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. The police sirens pierced his eardrums as the sounds got louder, and louder until finally they had arrived in-front of the space station.

"Good, Arceus above…" He heard Steven say as the two of them took in the sight before them.

Officer Jenny, and the rest of the Police of Mossdeep City were all lined up facing the opponent. Arcanine, Growlithe, Lairon, Aggron, and multiple other Police Pokemon all stood ready, growling menacingly at the men before them.

Two men in what looked like hard plated armor fitted to their bodies, were sitting a top a giant mechanical walker. The walker was a large spider like contraption with long eight long white legs that led up to a control module the two stood behind. The two men both had dark ponytails running down their backs, while one's armor was painted red, while the others were painted green. They had blue visors over their eyes as they scanned the crowd before them, appearing unimpressed.

The scariest part however, wasn't the walker, but the two Pokemon who Brenden had never seen before standing below them. One was a large purple Pokemon, which had to be at least ten feet tall, fluttering just above the ground, with a sharp stinger, pointing at the line of Police. It's bat like wings stretched out behind it, as it growled lowly in its throat, ready to strike at any moment. The second Pokemon stood just shorter then the purple Pokemon but was the most massive Pokemon Brenden had ever seen. Its giant arms bulged as it flexed them hard seemingly in an attempt to impress its peers. It's head and giant singer protruding from it, certainly didn't look friendly.

Officer Jenny held up her megaphone. "This is your last chance! Leave now and return where you came from, close the portal you opened and never return! Or we will be placing the both of you under arrest!" She threatened, her Manectric sparking electricity.

The two men atop the walker laughed, as the one in the red spoke up. "HAHAHA! They think they can defeat us brother! What funny jokes they tell!" He said to the man next to him.

He laughed as well. "HAHA it is true brother! Soon, they and everyone will know the true power of the Ultra Recon Squad! Naganadel use DRAGON PULSE!" The one is green screamed.

"NAGGAAAAAAA!" The giant purple Pokemon yelled throwing its head back before unleashing a torrent of draconic energy into the Police lines.

"EVERYBODY DOWN!" Steven yelled pulling Officer Jenny back while Brenden dove for cover.

A loud BOOOOOM, ensued and when Brenden stood up, the sight horrified him. Fire had been caught to the nearby trees and they were all in flames, soot and ash dancing around the air, causing him and the other knocked down officers to cough as it entered their systems. Brenden shakily got to his feet, followed by Steven who turned to Officer Jenny.

"Jenny! The city is in chaos, take the rest of your officers and secure the town! Brenden and I will handle this!" He ordered in his 'champion' voice.

Jenny nodded. "Yes champion! Okay! Everyone move out, I want a perimeter around the city, help the civilians!" She ordered, as the remaining cars and officers followed her lead.

Steven turned and gave Brenden a quick nod before the two ran forward. Brenden's face turned to a look of rage when he heard the fire crackle as trees slowly burned away, and Pokemon ran for their lives towards the city as the forests around the space station burned. The space station was were May and he had their first date… now these guys were destroying it. They stepped to the opposite side of the large dirt and grass field between them and the giant walker, before the two men managed to stop laughing and noticed them.

"Ahhh what do we have here brother!?" The green one said.

"It appears more mareep for the slaughter!" The red one said as the two laughed together.

Brenden gritted his teeth. "Does anyone else ever laugh at your jokes? Because I'm telling you if your brother is the only one to laugh at them, they're really not that funny." He yelled up to them.

Their laughter subsided and the green one-eyed Brenden. "You have no idea who you are talking too boy!"

"A guy with a really bad haircut!" Brenden shot back to him.

The man in green gritted his teeth before Steven spoke up. "You are right my friend. We don't have any idea who you are. Would you please care to enlighten us? My name is Steven Stone, champion of the Hoenn Region. This spirited young man is Brenden Maple, a member of my Elite Four." He said in a calm tone.

Brenden held his tongue back, seeing that Steven was trying the diplomatic approach at first as he usually did.

The green one growled lowly while the red one spoke up. "Ah finally a man of class. Let us introduce ourselves brother! My name is Para! Captain in the ULTRA RECON SQUAD!" He shouted saluting at attention.

The green one gave a similar pose. "And my name is Dox! Captain in the ULTRA RECON SQUAD!" He shouted.

Brenden rolled his eyes at the theatrics, when Steven to his ultimate credit managed to keep a straight face and clapped politely.

"Ah the Ultra Recon Squad! I've heard so much about your group, I must apologize for the actions of my people, to what do we owe the honor of your visit?" He lied to the two men.

It took every bit of self-control for Brenden not to laugh at that moment. Para, the red one smirked crossing his arms and nodded.

He turned to Dox, the green one. "HAHA! I see our reputation proceeds us brother!"

Dox nodded. "HAHA! Yes, finally a man who recognizes true greatness when he is faced with it!" He complimented.

Para turned back to Brenden and Steven. "If you must know my friend we were instructed by our great commander, to come to the Hoenn Region, and return with a man named Maxie! Do you happen to know where he is?" He asked.

Brenden couldn't keep his composure any longer. "No way! What the hell could you guys possibly want with Maxie!? Team Magma was defeated two years ago, he's no use to anyone now!?" He demanded.

Para gritted his teeth at Brenden. "If you must know BOY," He spat, "Our great commander and his partner, is assembling a team of the greatest minds the world has ever seen! Together we will resurrect THE BLINDING ONE-."

He was cut off by a smack in the back of his head. "Idiot! The commander told us we were not to reveal information about the blinding one!" Dox screeched as Para rubbed his head.

Brenden felt the breath leave his body. These guys really were attempting to resurrect Necrozma. They were the evil that Dom was going to have to face according to Tapu Koko.

No. Brenden thought as he pulled Swampert's pokeball from his belt. He squeezed it in his hands and looked up at the two men.

"Now I don't care who you two are! I've never heard of the Ultra Recon Squad, but I do know you're up to no good and plan on hurting people! I won't let that happen! SWAMPERT!" He yelled tossing out his first Pokemon.

In a flash of white Swampert appeared with his mega-stone shining from the necklace around his head.

"SWAAMMPEEERRRTTTTTT!" He roared slamming back down onto the ground.

The two Pokemon in-front of the walker growled at Swampert as his faithful partner eyes the two of them carefully.

Para and Dox both laughed. "HAHAHAHA! You wish to battle US BOY!?" Dox yelled down.

"HAHAHA! It will be your downfall! Naganadel TO BATTLE!" Dox yelled the purple Pokemon roaring loudly.

"BUZZWOLE! ENTER THE FRAY!" Para yelled as the Pokemon with bulging muscles roared joining Naganadel.

Brenden looked over to Steven who pulled out a pokeball of his own. "I'm afraid my friends I must now ask you to leave. We cannot let you have what you seek. As champion of this region, it is my duty to protect it from any and all dangers that it may face." He said tossing out his pokeball.

Soon in another flash of white Steven's white and yellow shiny Metagross sprang out, it's mega stone visible. "So, I give you this one last chance Para and Dox… leave this place and never return!" He yelled as Metagross joined Swampert across from Buzzwole and Naganadel.

Para shot out his hand. "HAHA! The ULTRA RECON SQUAD never surrenders! Come brother! For the glory of the commander!"

"COME NAGANADEL! FOR THE GLORY OF THE COMMANDER!" Dox yelled from next to his brother atop the walker.

Battle Song- Skillet: Feel Invincible.

Brenden & Steven (Swampert & Metagross) vs Para & Dox (Buzzwole & Naganadel)

"Swampert use Ice Beam on Naganadel!" Brenden yelled, assuming the purple Pokemon was a poison type.

"Metagross, use Bullet Punch on Buzzwole!" Steven yelled as the two powerhouse Pokemon attacked.

"Ascend Naganadel! Come down and use Dragon Tail!" Dox yelled out to the enormous purple Pokemon.

"Dynamic Punch Buzzwole!" Para ordered as Metagross neared.

Swampert launched and Ice Beam towards Naganadel who, who quickly shot up into the air, as Metagross zoomed past. Metagross and Buzzwole met in a huge clash as Dynamic Punch and Bullet Punch landed on both Pokemon as they stayed locked in a complete stalemate in terms of pure strength. Buzzwole charged its second fist into another punch as, Metagross just in time lifted one of its four legs into the air to intercept as the two tussled and grappled each other for position, refusing to let up.

Meanwhile in the air Naganadel zoomed down with incredible speed for a Pokemon it's size, with its tail glowing with draconic energy.

"Use Focus Punch and meet it head on!" Brenden yelled, knowing that his partner was more then capable of handling it.

In a huge CRASH, Naganadel's Dragon Tail met Swampert who had charged up a Focus Punch. Swampert gritted its teeth as the bee like Pokemon kept the pressure on. Eventually after a few moments of stalemate both Swampert and Naganadel were sent tumbling backwards. As soon as Naganadel hit the ground Brenden called out his next move.

"Swampert, use Earthquake full power!" He yelled out, knowing Steven's Metagross would be safe.

"Metagross ascend!" Steven yelled seconds after Brenden called out his move.

Steven's Metagross quickly disengaged Buzzwole, and using its psychic energy shot itself into the air. Just as Metagross zoomed into the air Swampert reared back its massive body and slammed its front feet onto the ground.

"SWAAAAAAMMPERRTTTTT!" The Pokemon yelled as the ground on the battlefield shook. Brenden smirked, knowing with Swampert's strength it would do serious damage.

"Buzzwole stand your ground!" Para yelled out.

"Naganadel get up quickly and ascend!" Dox ordered shortly after.

Naganadel was shaken slightly by the earthquake before shooting back up into the air. Buzzwole stumbled on its feet for a few moments, before slamming both its hand gripping the very earth beneath it and steadying itself until the tremors finally subsided. Brenden and Steven both look on in complete shock at the massive Pokemon standing its ground.

After the quake ended Buzzwhole shook its head, shaken up, but still plenty ready for battle.

"HAHA! You are witnessing the power of the Ultra-Beasts!" Para yelled out with pride as Buzzwhole flexed its enormous arms.

Dox was the next to laugh. "HAHA! Now, Naganadel use Poison Jab on Swampert!"

Brenden's eyes widened as from behind him he heard a loud WHOOSH.

"Swampert use Ice Be-." Was all he got out before Naganadel slammed into his starter it's giant stinger glowing with bright purple poison.

"Swampeeeerrtttttt!" His partner wreathed in pain, as it slowly got up, the smoke from the attack disappearing.

Steven gritted his teeth this time. "Metagross! Use Zen Headbutt on Buzzwole!"

"Swampert! Come on, we've faced way worse then this! Use Hydro Cannon on Naganadel." Brenden yelled trying to inspire his starter.

Swampert slammed its hands into the ground again and blue energy began to swirl in its mouth. With a loud cry it launched the most powerful water type attack towards Naganadel.

"Use DRAGON PULSE!" Dox yelled out in counter.

"Buzzwole stand your ground and Superpower!" Para yelled as Metagross zoomed towards it.

Buzzwole did as instructed and stood its ground, as Metagross neared its body glowed with red energy. Right as Metagross got close, it slammed its entire body into the pokemon in a Superpower attack, that sent both Pokemon flying backwards towards their trainers. Brenden's mouth flew open, never before in his life had he seen Steven's Metagross overpowered like that. It only reaffirmed his belief that he needed to stop these guys now, before they could do anymore damage.

Dragon Pulse met Hydro Cannon in a huge clash in the middle of the battlefield. A huge cloud of smoke covered the center and Brenden knew he needed to press the advantage.

"Go Swampert, FOCUS PUNCH!" He yelled as Swampert powered up his fist and charged.

"Naganadel use Dragon Tail!" Dox screamed from above them.

Through the smoke both Pokemon charged. Focus Punch met Dragon Tail and battle ensued in the center to the field. Swampert leaped up and smashed its fist into the side of Naganadel, which retaliated by swinging its tail into Swampert, sending it down to the ground. Swampert got back up, and launched another Focus Punch, with an uppercut it hit Naganadel again, causing it to cry out before Swampert was sent tumbling back towards Brenden thanks to another Dragon Tail.

Brenden was breathing heavy as was Swampert. Steven looked over concerned at Metagross who was breathing in a similar manner. Steven grabbed the top of his jackets and revealed a pin, with his keystone on it. He managed to steady his breathing and looked over to Brenden.

"Brenden it seems these two are more powerful then we anticipated. You know what we have to do!" He yelled as his finger went to the keystone.

Brenden nodded and held up his wrist, revealing his keystone on a black bracelet. He quickly flashbacked to when Steven had first given he, Dom, and May all of their keystones and mega-stones. He entrusted Brenden with it back then, and now was finally the time for him to pay him back.

The two trainers held their keystones, as white light began to swirl around them and soar towards their Pokemon.

"BEYOND EVOLUTION!" They both yelled as Swampert's and Metagross's mega-stones began to glow, incasing them in bright light.

"SWAMPERT!" "METAGROSS!" They both yelled.

"MEGA EVOLVE!" They finished as the lights reached their apex.

Swampert and Metagross both roared mightily as the light slowly began to fade, revealing both Pokemon refilled with vigor in their mega-evolved forms. Brenden looked over at Swampert who pounded its now giant fists on its chest. Mega-Metagross roared as it was surrounded by Psychic energy.

Para and Dox's eyes widened. "That light!? Brother it is the light of…" Para began.

"The blinding one…" Dox finished.

Brenden didn't have time to focus on their words. "Swampert, get in close on Buzzwhole and use Ice Beam!" Brenden yelled.

"Metagross! Ascend and meet Naganadel in the air with Meteor Mash!" Steven ordered.

"Quick, Naganadel use X-Scissor!" Dox ordered at Steven's command.

"Buzzwole use Giga Impact!" Para ordered, recovering from his shock.

"DODGE AND KEEP GOING!" Brenden yelled determined.

Swampert rushed Buzzwole who zoomed forward with energy surrounding its body with powerful energy. The Giga Impact was powerful, but at the last moment Swampert side-stepped and reared back its head unleashing a powerful Ice Beam attack. That hit Buzzwole dead on and sent the giant Pokemon firing backwards, slamming him into a flaming tree.

"Buzzwole!" Para yelled out worriedly.

Up in the sky Metagross and Naganadel clashed back and forth! Naganadel crossed its stinger and used X-Scissor which just narrowly missed Metagross who countered slamming its arms into the purple Pokemon with a powerful Meteor Mash attack.

"Quick Dragon Tail Naganadel!" Dox ordered desperately seeing he was losing ground.

"Dodge it! And finish this battle with Giga Impact!" Steven yelled, now finally letting his calm act fall.

"Swampert use Hydro Cannon! FINISH THIS!" Brenden yelled to his starter.

Metagross deflected Naganadel's Dragon Tail, and as the beast was close Metagross charged itself full of energy and slammed itself into it! It sent itself and Naganadel hurling towards the ground and with a loud BOOOOOM the two hit the ground, sending a giant plume off smoke into the air! When it finally subsided Metagross was hovering above Naganadel who was unconscious in the crater.

"SWAAAAAMMMPPEEEERTTTTTTTT!" Swampert cried loudly as it charged its signature move.

The torrential blast of water spewed from Swampert's mouth and at blinding speed hit Buzzwole even deeper against the tree and with a multiple loud CRACKS, the tree's and branches snapped as the powerful beast laid in a pile of smoke timber completely unconscious.

Swampert and Metagross quickly returned to the sides of Brenden and Steven as the two looked up at a completely stunned Para and Dox.

"It… It is impossible! HOW!?" Para cried out from atop the giant walker.

"Simple, you suck we don't, we won you lost. Not that hard!" Brenden yelled with Swampert snarling next to him.

Dox shook his head. "No… you used the power of the blinding one!? You used his light, how is this possible!?" He shrieked out.

Steven shook his head as he strode forward with Metagross. "It doesn't matter! Now, LEAVE MY REGION!" He shouted to the two, his diplomatic approach completely gone.

Brenden was about to yell something back, some witty retort to anger them even more however he didn't get the chance. Dox quickly flicked a switch from their cockpit, and the giant walker they were on sprang to life. The machine whirred, and its massive legs began to slowly stride forward.

"YOU IGNORANT MAN!" Para yelled as Steven and Brenden slowly backed up as the giant machine's legs slowly crept closer.

"YOU WILL NEVER BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE GREAT VISION OUR COMMANDER HAS FOR THIS WORLD!" Dox yelled as he clicked a few more buttons.

At the front of the cockpit where Para and Dox sat, a blue light began charging. Brenden's mind went into overdrive, he and Steven began to run. However, their path was cut off when one of the enormous legs of the walker slashed down multiple flaming trees which blocked their path.

The two looked back up towards a screeching Para and Dox. "WITH THE POWER OF THE BLINDING ONE UNDER HIS CONTROL HE WILL RULE ALL DEMENSIONS!" Para yelled, opening a box.

"AND THE FIRST VICTIMS WILL BE YOU! YOU WILL DIE THIS DAY!" Dox yelled as the laser on the cock-pit began to swirl even more violently.

Brenden began to see everything that had happened his entire life flash before his eyes. Meeting his friends, beginning his journey, becoming a member of the Elite Four. He had almost died plenty of times before, but he always managed to make his way out of hit. It didn't seem like there was a way out now.

"May is going to be so pissed at me for dying…" He muttered amusingly as the beam was ready to fire.

"NOW DIE CRUMBLE UNDER THE POWER OF THE ULTRA RECON SQUAD!" They shouted as the laser flashed.

Brenden felt Swampert grab onto him, and he closed his eyes, waiting for the worst. However, what he heard next wasn't the screams of life ending, it was the sweetest one he ever heard.

"MIST BALL!" He heard her yell.

Brenden opened his eyes as just as the laser fired its blast, a huge purple ball of energy slammed into it! Another huge BOOOOOOOMMM echoed throughout the city and the smoke eventually cleared leaving a stunned Para and Dox. They looked down and their eyes widened still seeing Brenden and Steven standing.

"What!? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!" Dox screamed, slamming his fists onto the control panel.

"Look there brother! WHO ARE YOU GIRL!" Para yelled pointing to someone hovering across from them.

There in all her glory, atop a Mega Latias was his girlfriend. May had shown up just in the nick of time to save him yet again. Brenden smiled as did Steven, and when Brenden saw the look on his girlfriend's face, he couldn't help but smirk.

She was seriously pissed, and that meant bad things for Para and Dox.

"My name is May Birch, and you two have made a BIG mistake!" She yelled as Latias cried loudly.

"HAHA! And what mistake is that girl!?" Dox yelled, still somehow confident.

May's eye twitched. "Listen here ponytail. NOBODY! Tries to blow up my boyfriend and gets away with it!" She yelled pointing to the two of them.

"Kick his ass babe WOOHOOOO!" Brenden yelled happily from down below.

She turned and gave him a quick smirk before turning back to the walker. She looked down at Latias and the two nodded at each other.

"NOW! Latias, used Dragon Pulse, FULL POWER!" She ordered her mega-evolved legendary.

Latias did unleash a Dragon Pulse. Para and Dox's walker did not hold up. In a huge explosion the machine completely crumbled under the weight of the attack. It fell apart piece by piece and both Para and Dox screamed as they were tossed from the cockpit. Soon the machine thanks to May, was a smoking pile of mechanical rubble. As soon as she was satisfied with her work May flew Latias down to the ground and got off quickly running right to Brenden.

She tossed her arms around him and Brenden hugged her back, having trouble breathing from just how hard she squeezed him. She pulled back, and Brenden smiled at her, expecting a kiss, her to ask if he was okay, or tell him what a good job he did. He got none of those things.

May proceeded to smack Brenden across the face.

"Ow! What the heck!" He complained rubbing his cheek.

"HOW many times do I have to tell you to stop being so stupidly brave all the time!?" She scolded him.

"Why don't you smack Steven!? He did the same thing!" He whined.

May sighed and shook her head. "I'm not allowed to smack the champion of Hoenn, I AM allowed to smack you… but here." She said before quickly grabbing him by the collar.

She pulled him forward and quickly kissed him, causing him to grow a goofy smile on his face. She pulled back and laughed a little shaking her head at him. Steven came over to the young couple next with a grim look.

"I apologize for interrupting your little moment but… I think we have work to do." He said gesturing towards the smoking pile of rubble with an unconscious Para and Dox.

Before Brenden could respond, he felt the clouds slowly roll away. The light was returning and the three looked up into the sky. The ultra-wormhole was closed, and it seemed as if the day had gone back to being what Brenden dubbed 'perfect' only an hour or so earlier. He finally managed to breath a sigh of relief, before he looked to Steven and may, realizing what they had to do.

"I know one thing for sure. We need to call Dom and warn him. Like now." He said.
