BGM: Malie City – Day (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"Those are very interesting names." Gladion said as they were at the pier. "And I suppose I can be forgiven given the fact that I mistook Kimomaru for a Pokemon."
"I still don't see why everyone here thinks that." Kimomaru said.
"Still, it's unexpected that a Latias from all the way from the Hoenn region can disguise herself as a human… and is best friends with you." He said, looking at Sabrina.
"We go way back." Sabrina said, fist bumping Latias.
"Yep."
"So… why are we waiting here again?" Isaac asked.
Moon sighed. "Well…"
Earlier…
Hau was running with them… until his eyes spotted something. "Ooooh mama! A Malasada shop!" He took off. "Come to daddy!"
In the present…
"You didn't drag him out?" Flare asked.
"I tried, even when Incineroar tried to push him out… he wouldn't budge." Moon sighed. "So I suppose we have to wait."
"Typical." Gladion muttered. "Still… Hau's a pretty interesting kid. Growing up in the great kahuna's shadow and still trying to stand up to Hala as an equal… I couldn't possibly do it."
It was then that they heard footsteps. "Hau?" Moon asked.
"Nope." Nanu walked over to them.
Gladion's eyes widened in surprise. "Officer Nanu?!"
"Hmph, if only Team Skull could've just kept themselves and their trouble making in Po Town… why did they have to make all this fuss, huh?" He then turned to Moon. "You there. I'm an island kahuna, you know. Battle me."
Moon looked at him in surprise. "You?"
"Yes."
"Now that can't be right!" Deadpool got right in front of him. "You don't look like a kahuna to me! You look nothing more than an old geezer!"
"Hmph, I may not look it, but I am a Kahuna."
"Hmph, prove it!" Deadpool said… only to get yanked by Professor Jacob. "WHOA!"
"Sometimes, your antics can get annoying…"
"Oh, says the guy that can be just as insane as I can be!"
"Except I'm not a pervert."
Deadpool raised his finger in protest. "…Yoooou make an excellent point." He lowered it.
Nanu looked at Moon. "Where did you find these people?"
"Well… it's more like they found me." Moon said.
Nanu raised an eyebrow. "I'm not sure I follow, but I'm not even going to ask." He said as they got off the pier and then they looked at each other. "Anyway… this will be a great experience for you if you wish to master this island challenge."
"Alright." Moon said. I'll be honest… I wasn't expecting him to be a Kahuna.
End BGM
"Now… don't take it too serious." He said as the battle commenced.
BGM: Battle! Island Kahuna (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"I'm rooting for the old codger!" Deadpool said.
"…Why…?" Saki asked.
"Someone's gotta root for the other guy!"
"Oh brother…" Isaac sighed.
"Let's go, Sableye…" Nanu said, tossing out Sableye.
"Charjabug, let's go!"
"Sable!"
"Charja!"
"Use Power Gem." Nanu boredly said.
"Dodge that and use Thunderbolt!"
"Sable… eye!" Sableye used Power Gem, but Charjabug dodged it and proceeded to use Thunderbolt. "Sable…!"
"Alright, Bug Buzz!"
Nanu chuckled and then smirked. "Fake Out."
"Charja…!" Charja proceeded to use Bug Buzz, but Sableye jumped to the side and used Fake Out, causing it to flinch.
"Perfect. Now use Shadow Ball."
"SABLE!" Sableye yelled, hitting Charjabug directly, but it managed to shake it off and then used Bug Buzz to knock down the Pokemon, then Charjabug finished it off with Thunderbolt.
"Hmm, not bad." Nanu said, putting Sableye away. "Krokorok, you're up…" He said.
"Krokorok!"
"Hmm…" Moon smirked. "Alright, Charjabug, return!" She ordered, putting it back in the ball. "Exeggutor, let's rock!"
"Exeggutor!"
…Oh boy… Nanu thought. "Use Assurance."
"Dodge it and use Wood Hammer!"
"Don't let that hit you. Dodge that and use Earthquake."
Krokorok proceeded to jump out of the way and lifted his foot to unleash the Earthquake… however, Exeggutor swung its head to the side to use a sideways Wood Hammer to knock it out.
"Oh! I felt that one from here!" Deadpool said.
"Hmph, impressive." Nanu said, pulling Krokorok away. "Alright, Persian… help me out." He said, tossing out an Alolan Persian.
"Let's do this cat vs cat." Moon said, returning Exeggutor and tossing out Incineroar. "Alright, use Flare Bli-" It was then that they noticed that Nanu was doing a certain pose and Persian was glowing. "…Uh oh. Incineroar, hold that out as long as you can!"
Incineroar nodded and braced himself.
Nanu chuckled. "Black Hole Eclipse."
"PERSIAAAAN!" Persian cried, unleashing a black hole that sucked in Incineroar… and caused a huge explosion up in the sky as Incineroar fell to the ground.
"Holy crap…" Latias whispered.
That was… completely insane! Sabrina thought.
"Incineroar, are you alright?!" Moon asked, hoping that he was okay… and despite the fact that Incineroar was heavily bruised and was basically on one knee and wincing, he still gave the thumbs up. "Alright, Persian's totally tired after that. Let's get some of your health back! Leech Life!"
"Dodge that." Nanu said as Persian tried to dodge, but Incineroar grabbed a hold of him and used Leech Life to get some of his health back and then jumped back. Hmph, I might end up losing here…
"Alright, use Flare Blitz!" She ordered as Incineroar... uh… roared, and then used Flare Blitz to knock out the Persian.
Nanu folded his arms and then smirked. "Yeah… you'll do just fine." He said, putting away Persian.
End BGM
"Is it bad that I'm a little scared of him now?" Rose asked, already paled.
"I don't blame you. That Persian conjured up a black hole for crying out loud!" Sora said.
Nanu chuckled. "I already knew you had the heart and strength to storm Team Skull's stronghold, but I never imagined you were this good… and your Pokemon are really strong as well. Let me just heal them up for ya." He said, tossing a few Full Restores for them. "And I believe this belongs to you." He tossed over the Darkinium Z Crystal as Moon caught it and it was absorbed into her Z Ring. "In order to do it correctly, you have to do this pose." He said and then did the pose… as everyone just stared at him after he was finished… and cue the awkward silence.
So… is he going to move… or…? Kairi wondered.
That's just… wrong… Gladion thought.
Nanu repositioned himself and looked away. "There… congratulations or whatever. You've finished your Ula'Ula Trials. You've got somewhere else to be, don't you? Try not to destroy anything…" He proceed to walk… but then he stopped. "You boy… Gladion, was it?"
"Yeah…?" Gladion asked.
"If you're really trying to get stronger as you say, then what are you depending on Team Skull for?" He asked before walking away… and then Hau came over.
"Sorry about that, I was busy eating some Malasada!" He grinned.
Moon sweatdropped. "Ooof course you were."
"Anyway-"
"Don't you dare say anything about this being fun." Gladion glared at him.
"Whoa, I'm not! If I was stronger, then Lillie wouldn't have been…" He clenched his fists. "I'm ready to do whatever it takes so we can take back our smiles and our fun adventure!" He casually put his hands behind his head and grinned. "Soooo… where was Lillie taken? It can't be Po Town, Moon was there the whole time… and I'm pretty sure the others didn't see her."
"Why would we be looking for her if we were falling?" Sabrina asked.
Hau chuckled. "Good point!"
Gladion sighed. "You're not as dumb as you naïve… but she's at Aether Paradise."
"Aether Paradise?!" Hau asked.
"Why there? They were saving Pokemon from Team Skull." Moon said.
"…If only you knew the truth." Gladion muttered.
"Hold on!" Hau said. "We're going in that small boat, right? How is everyone going to fit in?"
"Leave everything to me." Flare said, tossing out Hoopa.
"Ta da!" Hoopa exclaimed.
"What in the world…?" Moon looked at Hoopa. "Hey Rotom?"
"On it!" Rotom appeared and scanned Hoopa. "Hmm… not really native to the region, I can't really scan it."
"But I can!" Rose pulled hers out.
"Hoopa, the Mischief Pokemon. This troublemaker sends anything and everything to faraway places using its loop, which can warp space."
"Yikes… I don't wanna end up in a terrifying place!" Hau paled.
"Oh relax, I'm not much of a troublemaker as the Pokedex claims I am to be." Hoopa said.
"…This thing talks?" Gladion asked. "…You people are full of surprises. How did you teach it to talk?"
"…Uh, I was born with the ability to talk…? Is that not normal?"
"…I'm not even going to ask."
Hoopa used one of his Hoops. "In ya go!" He grinned as Gladion, Hau and Moon looked in.
"Yep, that's the Aether Foundation alright." Moon said.
"Uh… is this thing safe?" Hau asked. "I don't exactly trust a Mischievous Pokemon…"
"Oh, just go in!" Gladion pushed him in.
"WHOA!"
Gladion jumped in after him as everyone followed suit. "Here we are! Aether Paradise!" Hoopa chuckled.
"…I don't like how quiet it is." Gladion said. "We need to stay alert."
"So why would Lillie be here?" Hau asked.
"She just will be."
"Ugh… avoiding my questions again…" Hau grumbled. "Fine, what are we going to do?"
"I say we look for her." Sabrina said.
"And I guess… we should take the elevator." Gladion said.
"You GUESS?!" Hau exclaimed in shock and turned to the others. "And we're just gonna follow HIM?! He doesn't have a plan!"
"Then we'll improvise." Moon said.
"…I was afraid of that…"
It was at this moment that the alarm went off.
"Intruders detected! Take them down!"
BGM: Battle! Aether Foundation (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"…Oh that's just PERFECT!" Hau sighed.
Isaac smirked. "Where's the fun in going through things quietly?" He asked.
"Again, I was afraid of that!"
"What? You gotta be a little adventurous every once in a while." Moon playfully winked at him.
"…Oh brother…" Hau sighed as they took off.
"Hey you, stop!" An Aether Foundation employee ordered, tossing out his Pokemon… only for Sabrina to call out Greninja who took down his Dugtrio and Sliggoo. "Aaagh!"
As they went around and stopped everyone from… well… stopping them, they soon made it to the elevator. "Hmph… just like I thought…" Gladion muttered.
"What's going on?" Hau asked.
"Seems like outsiders can't use the main elevator to reach the lower levels. What a pain… looks like we have no choice but to go up." He said as they went up… where a man was waiting for them.
Pause BGM
"Well, if it isn't Faba…" Gladion muttered.
"Hmph, you dare to come back?" Faba asked.
"Alright, Faba… tell us… where's Lillie and Cosmog?"
"Ha! Like I would tell a bunch of brats where they are!"
"You do realize that most of us are adults, right?" Isaac said, looking at his entire family… excluding Rose. Maria Jr. and Flare.
"And yet, they hang out with brats… which makes them brats too!"
…I don't follow that logic. Sabrina thought.
"I, the Aether Branch Chief, will make sure to never let you brats go any further!"
"Faba, we don't have time for thi-"
"SILENCE!"
"…Okay, I just had enough of this bully." Rose said, walking forward.
Faba looked down at Rose. "HA! You think you can challenge ME? You can't be serious!"
"Don't underestimate me."
"Heh, then this will be a warm up." Faba said, tossing out Hypno.
Resume BGM
"Jellicent, let's go!" Rose tossed her out.
"Uh… shouldn't you be helping her…?" Gladion asked.
"I would, but just watch." Sabrina smiled.
"She's strong?" Hau asked.
"Yep." Riku nodded.
"Alright, use Psychic!"
"Dodge it and use Hydro Pump!"
"Hypno…!" Hypno used Psychic, but Jellicent got out of the way and used Hydro Pump to push him back.
"Argh… Hypnosis!"
"I don't think so! Use Ominous Wind!"
"Jelli…ceeeent!" Jellicent cried, unleashing Ominous Wind that caused Hypno to faint as Faba looked on in complete shock.
End BGM
"…Well that was a boring fight if the music just cut off like that." Deadpool said.
"Music? What music?" Moon asked.
"Oh, don't worry about it!" Deadpool laughed.
"I… I lost… I LOST TO A MERE CHILD?!"
Rose smiled innocently. "Yep!"
"Faba, you lost. Now where are they?"
Faba growled. "The lower floors. I'll send you there." He said and pushed in the code.
"Thank you." Gladion said as they all went down… and then Faba chuckled with a smirk.
"Heheheh… they'll lose for sure." He said as he walked away… looking kiiinda mad. "Hmph… to think I lost to a mere child. No matter… I'll take care of her eventually."
In the lower floors…
"How is that you guys aren't afraid of anything?" Gladion asked.
"We've faced scarier things." Isaac said.
"…I don't even want to know."
"Scarier than Aether Paradise? Oh… so you faced a humongous Groudon? Faced Arceus?" Hau asked.
"Scarier." Sabrina said.
"…Scarier than a Giratina and Darkrai?"
"Yep." Flare nodded.
Hau paled. "Oooh…"
"Tch, who cares what scares them?" Gladion asked.
"I think it's pretty cool they're not afraid of anything." Moon said.
"Yeah, you're not… you're always just so carefree." Hau said.
Moon shrugged. "So?"
"Eh, whatever…"
"Come on, let's go." Gladion said. "Some of you come with me with Secret Lab A and the rest of you will go for Secret Lab B."
"Got it." Isaac nodded as they took off where they were greeted by some Aether Foundation Employees, but Minene and Yuno took care of them with their Pokemon, much to their dismay as they took off, as the ones in Secret Lab B were Isaac, Flare, Rose, Maria Jr, Riku, Sabrina, Moon and Hau as they took care of the other two employees in there.
"So…I guess Cosmog's not in here?" Hau asked.
"Hmph, what do YOU think? Even you can see Cosmog isn't in here." One of them said before taking off.
"Let's see… there's gotta be something interesting that involves Cosmog…" Moon said as they looked around as Flare spotted a book hanging out of the bookcase.
"Oh, hello…" Flare said as she walked over and took it, as she began to read it.
"Hmm…" Moon looked on the computer as her eyes widened. "Guys, listen to this." She said, catching their attention. "Aether Report: Cosmog. Cosmog is hypothesized to be a type of Ultra Beast that hails from another dimension. A dimension we have named Ultra Space. When placed under sufficient stress, it reveals the power to create and open Ultra Wormholes in order to escape from its suffering. We are now working on a device that will allow us to manipulate the Ultra Wormholes created when Cosmog is subjected to extreme stress."
"Whoa… so Cosmog might be an Ultra Beast…?" Hau wondered. "We should tell Gladion about this!" He said and took off.
"Aww, he left before I had a chance to say something." Flare said as they turned to her. "Aether Report: Ultra Wormholes. Beyond the Ultra Wormholes that Professor Mohn discovered lies a different dimension. By investigating the changes in mass there, we can predict the existence of Pokemon-like life. We have dubbed them Ultra Beasts for now."
"This is getting quite interesting." Moon said as they took off… but Flare looked around the bookcase a little more… until Isaac grabbed her arm.
"Come on!" He said and dragged her away and regrouped with the others.
"Hmm…" Gladion rubbed his chin in thought. "Faba might have outsmarted us…" He muttered.
"So what'd you find in there?" Riku asked.
"Something about an RKS System and a Pokemon was created to fight other Pokemon." Sora said. "Something called… Type: Full?"
"It was renamed to Type: Null." Jacob said.
"…Either way, we're going to have to talk to Faba about this." Gladion said as they took off back to the elevator… but as they did, they were surrounded by the Aether employees.
"Heh, you fell right into our trap." One of them said.
"Since you now know the darkness that runs here, we'll have no choice but to make you conveniently disappear!" Another said.
"…Are they blind by the fact that there's a whole lot of us?" Sora asked.
"I still can't believe I didn't get you into the games…" Sabrina sighed. "Yes, they're THAT stupid."
"Hey, we heard that!"
"We'll make you pay for that!"
Some sad one-sided battles later…
"RETREAT!" They yelled and took off.
"Didn't even break a sweat." Flare chuckled.
"Hmm… now where's Faba…" Gladion wondered.
"Oh! Young Master!" A voice said as they turned to see a beautiful woman approaching them.
"Hubba hubba…" Deadpool said… as Jacob elbowed him. "Ooof!"
"Wicke…" Gladion greeted.
"Wait… what…?" Hau wondered, looking at Gladion, then at Wicke, then at Gladion again… and then back at Wicke. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUNG MASTER?!"
"It's been such a long time… and hello to you too, Moon, Hau and… who are your new friends?"
"We'll have introductions later, more importantly what happened to Lillie? Do you know anything?" Gladion asked.
"I… imagine she's with the president."
Oh no… Gladion thought. "Then that's where I'm going! That's all I needed to know!"
"The president… that's Miss Lusamine right?" Hau wondered. "I'm sure she's nice, she'll probably tell us what the heck is going on."
That's strange… why am I having a bad feeling about hearing the name 'Lusamine'? Sabrina thought, looking a little uncomfortable as Riku spotted this.
She looks uncomfortable… something's not right… Riku thought.
"Yeah sure… she's nice… as long as you don't mean anything to her." Gladion muttered.
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid the doors are locked." Wicke said.
"That's not stopping me!" Gladion said and ran off as they followed him.
"Hold it!" Faba got in front of them as he was in front of the door along with some others. "I won't let you pass."
"Get out of our way!" Gladion ordered.
"Hmph. As if I would." Faba said. "You know, I want to teach that little girl a lesson." He said, glaring at Rose. "And I propose a Multi Battle to spice things up a little!"
"A Multi Battle? Then I'm teaming up with my sister." Maria Jr. said.
"…Fair enough! Two brats to take down. You there, you're fighting with me!"
"Uh… but I just have one Pokemon…"
"EVEN SO!"
"Alright, alright, I'll fight with you!" He said as he pulled out his Pokeball. "Um, go Ledian!"
Faba smirked. "Slowbro!"
BGM: Battle! Aether Foundation Employee
"Pikachu!" Rose cued as Pikachu hopped off of her shoulder.
"Pika!"
"Alright… our first battle together…" Maria Jr. said. "Null!" She exclaimed, sending out Type: Null to battle.
And it was at this moment the Heartless decided to make themselves known. "I was wondering when they'd show up!" Riku said, summoning his Keyblade as the others proceeded to fight… while Null glared at Faba.
"You…"
"Ah! The third Type: Null?!" Faba asked in surprise before shaking it off. "Never mind about that! Use Yawn!"
"Light Screen!"
"Avoid the Yawn!" The girls ordered as the two Pokemon got out of the way.
"PIKA…CHUUUUUU!" Pikachu yelled, unleashing a Thunderbolt on the Slowbro while Null unleashed Aerial Ace on the Ledian, taking them both down.
"Aaaagh! My Ledian!"
"Tch… like I should be impressed." Faba said, returning Slowbro and calling out Bruxish.
"That is the ugliest fish I've seen." Maria Jr. said.
Rose chuckled. "Well, it's a Water Type." She said. "Use Electro Ball!"
"Use X-Scissor!"
"Dodge that!"
Bruxish avoided the Electro Ball and attempted to use Aqua Jet, but Null used X-Scissor to stop Bruxish as it cried out in pain… and then Pikachu used Electro Ball again to finish if off.
"AAARGH!" Faba growled and called out Hypno as the sisters looked at each other with a smirk and then looked at the Hypno. "USE PSYCHIC!"
"Dodge it and use Iron Tail!"
"Take Down!"
Hypno used Psychic, but they both dodged as Null ran forward and used Take Down to knock the Hypno back… and then Pikachu slammed Iron Tail directly at its head to knock it down to the ground to finish it off.
End BGM
"No… no way… IMPOSSIBLE!" Faba yelled. "I LOST… TO MERE BRATS… AGAIN?!"
Null walked forward to Faba, glaring at him. "Where is she?" He demanded.
"H-Hmph! Like I should tell you?" He asked but Null stepped closer, growling deeply. "They're just behind this wall! Don't hurt me, I'm delicate!"
"Good." Null said and then walked back and nodded at Maria Jr.
"Alright, let's go." Sabrina said as they took off after they dealt with the Heartless.
Faba sighed. "This is why I can't bring myself to like children…"
BGM: Apprehension (Kingdom Hearts II)
As they were outside, they noticed Team Skull in the area as Gladion was up ahead, facing Guzma himself.
"Whoa, so Team Skull was working with the Foundation?!" Hau asked. "This is totally blowing my mind! But never mind about that… let's knock some heads in!"
"Right behind you!" Moon said as they went on ahead as one by one, some of them challenged the Team Skull members until they got to Guzma… as Gladion seemed to have lost.
"Am I… not strong enough…?!" Gladion asked. "All the days when I struggled alone and lonely… it was all for nothing?! Is that it…?!" He asked as Guzma only chuckled with a smug smirk.
It was then that Moon, Latias, Sabrina, Riku, Rose, Maria Jr, Isaac, Flare, Sora, Kairi and Minene walked up, as Guzma continued to smirk. "The hated boss who beats you down and beats you down and never lets up… yeah, big bad Guzma is here! Yeah, I totally did that spoiled brat a favor and crushed him! Y'know, I kinda liked you, kid… leaving home like that and wanting to get stronger and stronger… you have some guts. Going so far as coming over to Team Skull… and rejecting your own mother?! Talk about impressive!"
Mother.
Sabrina tensed up at the word. Why am I tensing up… at that word… this place is making me feel so… uneasy.
"Shut… up…" Gladion growled.
"And now it's your turn! You misfits keep getting in my grill like a cloud of smoke that I can't brush away! It's time I put out the fire at the source!"
"You guys go on ahead." Minene said. "It's time I teach this punk a lesson."
"You sure about that?" Moon asked.
Minene nodded. "You can count on it." She said, giving them the thumbs up as they nodded and took off.
"Heh, let's see if you can keep up with your limited depth perception!"
"Hmph, I'll have you know I'm fine with my limitations." Minene cracked her knuckles and pulled out a Pokeball.
"Golisopod, you're up!"
"Torkoal, let's go!"
Meanwhile…
Lillie glared at Lusamine as she glared at her as well… and then the doors opened up. "Oh!" Lusamine said. "Moon, it's been a while since I last saw you… who's your new friends?"
"Wha…?!" Lillie turned around in shock. "Moon… you came?! You actually came to help… with reinforcements?"
"It's… a long story, but yeah." Moon nodded.
Lillie smiled. "Thank you!" She looked at them. "So, who are your friends name?"
One introduction later…
Latias? Lusamine thought. So this is the trainer with the Latias and Kyurem, I imagine. And I bet the girl named Flare has Hoopa… or it could be that red haired bimbo… hmm… or maybe it's those two little girls…She thought. "So… these are your new friends even though you just met them?" She asked. "A gifted young trainer like Moon and her new friends… and they bother with someone like you?" She asked. "How disappointing."
Lillie turned around, glaring at him. "I don't need your approval, mother! OR your permission! I will save Cosmog!"
Mother?! Moon thought in surprise.
Lusamine scowled. "My, you do say such incomprehensible things…"
I'm having a bad feeling about this… Sabrina thought, trying to stop herself from shaking.
"Calling me mother? I don't even have any children! Certainly not any wretched children who would run off and reject my love!" She then started laughing… quite maniacally.
Yeah, she's a winner… Sora thought and then looked at his sister. Why does she look like she's ready to puke at any moment?
"So tell me, Lillie… Tell me how you'll save that Pokemon! What can you do? You failed to convince me to listen to you. You don't even have the strength of a trainer!"
"Sh-shut up!" Sabrina said. "Everyone has the potential to be a Pokemon Trainer! They just gotta belie-"
"Hmph. Why should I listen to you? You obviously look pretty pale… tell me, are you getting sick? You're obviously not even worth crap for Tapu Lele's sake." She said, causing Sabrina to growl. "Not to mention you're shaking like a leaf, so why should I listen to someone who's not sure of herself?"
…I… I just… I just feel like… I just haven't felt this terrible since we got to the Aether Paradise… something's up… Sabrina thought. Why do I feel so out of it? This place… it's not… I don't think it's a paradise at all…!
Lusamine looked back at Lillie. "Honestly, the only thing that you've ever done on your own is steal someone else's own research material!" She said, causing Lillie to look down in shame as she turned around. "You're not beautiful enough for my world… but fine… since you're here, you can watch me summon my sweet beast." She said. "That goes for the rest of you too. You can watch… and then you can leave."
"I'm not foolish or selfish… I am asking you to listen, mother! Do not sacrifice Cosmog for that beast's sake! If you open the Ultra Wormhole… Cosmog will…" She clenched her fists. "Cosmog will die!"
Lusamine started walking away. "You're right… it probably will die… because I'm going to force it to use its power whether it wants to or not!" She pressed a button as a mirror opened up and she walked into some device as she turned around. "Maybe if you really had been a daughter to me, I would have listened to you." She smirked. "Too bad." She said and disappeared.
Lillie turned over to the others. "I'm so glad you came after me… but I have to be selfish again… I have to ask you one more time… please… help me! Help Nebby! We have to save him!"
"Right!" Moon said as the rest came in.
"Sabrina, are you sure you're okay? You look like you can't walk another step!" Sora said.
"I'm… fine…" Sabrina said, slowly walking over to the portal. "We need… to go after her…" She said.
"Something's been going on ever since we got here." Isaac said. "I've been noticing that she looked unsure of herself, like she has a total dreaded feeling that's overwhelming her."
"That… w-won't… stop me…" Sabrina said as she looked like she was going to collapse, but Riku was right there, catching her as she was about to fall. "Th-thanks… sweetie…"
"I have a bad feeling about this…" Latias said.
"Sabrina, I'll help you walk." Riku said.
"Thanks…" She said as they walked over and they slowly made their way, as the dread soon came over everyone, making them wonder what's on the other side… and causing Sabrina to look like this and then… they went in.
As soon as they went into the other side… they saw some strange tubes of some sort as they heard Lusamine chuckling. "Hurry… this way!" She said.
And as they got closer… what they saw nearly made Sabrina's heart stop and everyone else look like they've seen a ghost.
BGM: Organization XIII (Kingdom Hearts II)
What they were seeing, were tubes of cyrogenetically frozen Pokemon, consisting of Starmie, Slowpoke, Pyukumuku, Pikachu and several others.
"C-Cyrogenetically… frozen Pokemon…?!" Kairi asked, putting her hand over her mouth in horror.
"Oh my god…" Isaac said.
Lusamine chuckled darkly. "These Pokemon are my beauties… frozen forever to capture their beauty in a life time!"
"Mother… you… you monster…!" Lillie said.
"Monster?" Lusamine chuckled darkly. "No, Lillie… I'm no monster. Monsters are ones who run away from their mother's love."
"But this is barbaric!"
"Even so…" Lusamine chuckled. "Oh, and it looks like the woman over there is pretty overwhelmed… I'd like a word with her… since she's the one holding Latias and Kyurem… and let's not forget the one who has Hoopa!"
It was then that Hau ran in. "HOLY TAPU KOKO, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!" He yelled, after realizing what's going on, and then Gladion ran in.
"Ah… sweet Hau… you came as well? Oh, and Gladion… must you be so untidy?"
"Listen to me! You musn't open the Ultra Wormhole! You shouldn't let the beasts run wild!"
Lusamine growled. "The daughter who stole my Cosmog from me… and the son who took my Type: Null from me! All I ever did was give you two all the love I had… and all you did was betray me! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK FOR MY ATTENTION NOW!"
Hau's eyes widened. "WAIT, ALL OF YOU ARE A FAMILY?!"
"Perhaps once we were, sweet Hau… But those wretches beside you left me. But it doesn't matter now… NONE of that matters now!"
"They have very good reason… to why they left you…" Sabrina growled, a dark aura pouring out of her body and a shadow cast over her eyes.
"…I don't like that aura…" Gladion said.
"Ooooh, the Pokemon fandom is going to love this~!" Deadpool said, holding a video camera.
"And why's that?" Lusamine asked.
Sabrina walked forward… and another step… and another. "They left you… because you are the most despicable woman I have ever met…" She glared at her. "YOU BARBARIAN!" She yelled, punching her right in the jaw.

"OOOH! That'll hurt!" Hau winced.
"Agh…!" Lusamine growled. "You hit me…?! You… you…! You hit my beautiful face! You cretin!"
"There's nothing beautiful about you!" She exclaimed. "Honestly, you managed to outdo Ghetsis… he turned his Pokemon into Heartless… but me, along with N, managed to snap their Pokemon out of it… and we took him down… but… you didn't turn Pokemon into Heartless… you cyrogenetically froze them!"
"I WAS ONLY CAPTURING THEIR BEAUTY SO THEY CAN STAY AS BEAUTIFUL AS I AM!"
"Hmph, if I'm to be perfectly honest, Trubbish and Garbodor are at least worth looking at!"
"H-how dare you! You think those two Garbage Pokemon are better than ME?!"
"At least they're better looking! Just looking at you makes me sick!"
"You… You LITTLE… you have no right!"
"And you have no right cyrogenetically freezing Pokemon! And honestly, if I were to host a beauty pagent, you would lose to Maleficent! At least SHE is prettier than YOU!"
"Ooooh, I don't think Lusamine is gonna recover from that." Isaac winced.
"And you… you have the audacity… to call yourself a mother…"
"I HAVE no kids! I can't be a mother to two little cretins who ignored my love!"
"Love? Hmph… I don't see any love."
Lusamine clenched her fists. "That's it… I'm going to get rid of this little stain!" She growled, running over to punch her, but Sabrina ducked… and unleashed a powerful uppercut to her gut as she keeled over in surprise and then Sabrina kicked her away.
"That was for the Pokemon you froze." She said.
"Please… don't do this!" Lillie said. "I know there's some good left in my mother! Just stop… please!"
"How can there be any good left in your mother when she did something so atrocious?" Sabrina asked, ready to transform into her Spawn form and tear Lusamine into pieces.
Lusamine got up. "That's it… I am going to unleash these sweet beasts upon this world… and have them get rid of the ugliness… starting with YOU!" She said. "How many Ultra Wormholes will open… after I use all of Cosmog's power?"
"NO! Don't do that! Cosmog will die if you use too much of its power!"
Lusamine picked up the crate that Cosmog was in. "Now watch… as I open the Ultra wormholes. Come, my sweet beast! And as for you guys…" She turned to them and smirked. "My little sweet pets will hold you down!" She said and right on cue, the Heartless appeared and grabbed a hold of everyone.
"Nnngh…! What… are these things…?!" Hau asked.
"They're strong… I'll give them that!" Moon said, seeing a lot of darkness coming out of Sabrina. What's going on with her?
"MOTHER, NO!" Lillie yelled.
"IT'S TOO LATE!" Lusamine cackled and then… the Ultra Wormhole opened up, revealing a jellyfish-like Ultra Beast called Nihilego, as it let out its cry. "Yes, my beautiful beast!"
BGM: Near an Ultra Beast (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"P-Pew…"
Lusamine turned to the bag. "Oh, pipe down, you little cretin. But on the bright side, you did use your power… it's all over the Alola region! Melemele, Akala, Poni, Ula'Ula! It's all there…! But… I am surprised that none of them showed up in the other regions…" She said and clenched her fists. "I used all of your power… AND THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP IN THE OTHER REGIONS?! YOU'RE USELESS!" She yelled, kicking the box straight to the others.
"NEBBY!" Lillie screamed.
"Pipe down, you're going to scare my beautiful beast." Lusamine said and looked at it. "At long last… it's mine! All mine!"
"Well, it seems like it's a success, Madam Prez!" A voice said as they turned to see Guzma.
"It is indeed. Do me a favor and get rid of those cretins for me once and for all."
"Yes ma'am." Guzma smirked and walked forward, but then… to their surprise… Sabrina transformed into her Spawn form and slashed the Heartless away, as a Shadow smacked right into Guzma. "OOOF!"
"Tch, these damned Heartless made it a little harder for me to transform." She said. "Not that it matters." She said, slashing through them to free everyone.
"I'll take care of the beast!" Gladion ran forward. "Hau, you take care of Guzma!"
"M-me?!" Hau asked, glancing over as Guzma chuckled darkly as more Heartless showed up.
"Protect me, my beauties." Lusamine ordered, calling out Clefable, Lilligant, Milotic, Mismagius and Bewear.
"I'll take care of her Pokemon." Moon said, and then Sabrina's Pokeballs opened up, wishing to battle as well, and it seems everyone else's joined in as well.
"Oh, a Pokemon Battle Royale… how interesting." Lusamine smirked as everyone went to battle the Heartless, but Spawn Sabrina seemed to be interested in Lusamine herself. "Oh, you wish to take me on directly? How charming." She said as she pulled out a sword. "Heh, now I can use this that random little talking Pokemon gave me. Honestly, it looked like a possessed ugly Togedemaru."
Why am I not surprised that Mephiles was here? Spawn Sabrina wondered.
"Now… en garde!" Lusamine smirked.
BGM: Battle! Aether President Lusamine, Version 1 (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
Spawn Sabrina flew over and slashed her, but Lusamine blocked her attack. "So little time to use this thing… and I think I can use it pretty well!"
"Shut it." Spawn Sabrina said, slashing her away.
"Oooh, a demented voice! How intriguing!" She smirked, lunging but she blocked and then countered by knocking the sword off of her and slashing her repeatedly. "Gah!" She winced as she grabbed the sword again and blocked her attacks. "Your name is Sabrina, is it not?"
"Where are you going with this?"
"Your demonic voice, your beautiful body, your beautiful Pokemon… you're beautiful. How about we team up and take over the world? Together, we can get rid of all those pests."
"As if I'd work with a slimeball like you!" She said, kicking her away.
"But just imagine-" Lusamine's sword was slashed off of her and had the tip of Soul of Gensokyo at her neck as her eyes widened.
"I'm not the kind of woman to kill my family, unlike you." She said. "Honestly, I thought another woman I've faced won the Mother of the Year award, but it seems like you just dethroned her."
"But just think of the possibilities! I can treat you like you were my own daughter!"
"No thank you… my mother was far kinder than yours."
"Was? Oh, so you left your own mother?"
"No, she died a month after I gave birth to my second child." She said, using Firaga on her neck.
"AGH!" Lusamine cried, knocked back to her sword.
"I would never betray my family… and I won't betray my late parents either." She said, flying up and then flying down to stab her, but Lusamine managed to block that and kicked her off.
Lusamine growled. "If that's the case… then you will be a spot that will be removed!" She said, slashing her repeatedly, but Sabrina noticed her sword skills were rather… clumsy.
Heh… that is laughable. She thought and then slashed her sword up in the air as she aimed her hand at it and then fired a dark beam to destroy it.
"NO!"
"Give up." She said, aiming her Keyblade at Lusamine.
"You think you have won…?!" Lusamine growled as she punched Sabrina but she jumped back and flew over, punching her straight in the face to knock her down to the ground.
End BGM
"…We're done here." She said, turning back to normal and aimed her Keyblade at Lusamine as she groaned and saw the Keyblade in front of her face. "Normally, I don't kill anyone, but what you have done is criminally unforgivable." She said.
"…I will… not… LOSE TO YOU…!" She growled and then noticing Nihilego retreating and the wormhole was closing. "NO!" She yelled as she grabbed Sabrina's Keyblade and pulled her down as she got back up. "I'm not going to lose my beauty!" She said, pulling her KO'd Pokemon away and then turned to Guzma. "Guzma, come with me!"
"Yes ma'am." Guzma said as they took off into the portal together.
"MOTHER!" Lillie yelled… but it was too late. "Mother…"
Gladion walked over to Lillie as they looked at a small creature in front of them. "Where's Nebby?"
"He turned into… this… He changed form." Lillie said, looking at Nebby who was now a Cosmoem. "Nebby…"
"This vacation just got really weird…" Sora said, scratching the back of his head.
Kairi sighed. "Tell me about it… at least it's better than being kidnapped at least."
Sabrina said nothing and walked over to the cyrogenetically frozen Pokemon. "Lusamine… why did you do this…" She said, her eyes swelling up to the brink of tears.
"Hey." Riku walked up to her. "You need a moment?"
"Yes…"She said, tears already falling as Riku immediately hugged his wife as she leaned in to him as her family came to hug her too while Moon looked at Sabrina sympathetically.
She deeply cares about Pokemon… Moon thought. Just like me…
Gladion turned around. "Come on, we shouldn't stay here. It's nothing but bad all around." He said as they walked off as Sabrina found the strength she needed to stand up and walk out as Lillie looked at the spot where her mother left.
"Mother…" She said as a tear ran down her cheek and went off to the other room.
"Oh thank goodness!" Wicke exclaimed. "You're all okay."
"Most of us…" Gladion muttered, glancing over at Sabrina. "Still, even though what happened… she's still our mother."
"Oh, I just wish she wasn't like this…" Wicke sighed.
"I'll find her… I know she's still out there." Lillie said and looked at Lusamine's bed. "…I'll sleep here. I used to sleep in this bed with my mother when I was little…"
"Alright." Wicke nodded and turned to the others. "There's some guest rooms for you to stay in. I know it's gonna be an interesting day tomorrow. In fact, it looks like she needs some rest the most." She said, looking a little worriedly at her.
"That'd be great." Riku said.
"Mommy…" Rose quietly said.
Later…
"Out like a log…" Munna said, looking at Sabrina. "She must've been real tired."
"After experiencing that? I don't blame her." Riku said, glancing over at the other bed as it has Isaac sleeping as Rose and Maria Jr. were on both of his sides, cuddling him.
"Hmm…" Red Genesect silently paced around the room. "So this Lusamine human cyrogenetically froze Pokemon. I recall when that happened to me and my brethren when we were built."
"What are we going to do?" Munna asked.
"Destroy her." Null said, sitting next to the kid's bed. "She was the one who froze me before I managed to escape."
Red Genesect chuckled. "Good. There's a small part of me that wants to destroy humanity… but I suppose I can get rid of the itch by getting rid of her."
"I agree."
"Pika Pika…" Pikachu said worriedly.
"Meloetta…"
"They're right. Let's not get carried away…" Munna said.
"Right…" Riku nodded as he looked at his sleeping wife, who was sleeping very peacefully as he lay down and wrapped his arm around her as Munna slept above Sabrina's head and the others fell asleep, unaware of Deadpool eavesdropping on them as he was writing something down.
"Violently. End. Lusamine." He wrote down. "Heh, this is gonna be brutal… and I love me some brutality!" He laughed quietly and walked off.
The next day…
Riku woke up… only to discover that Sabrina wasn't in his arms. "Huh?" He wondered as he got up, looking around as he noticed that Munna was also missing as he turned to see his kids still sleeping soundly. Where is she? He wondered as he got up from the bed, only to hear something as he looked out the window… and then ran outside.
As he ran out, he saw Sabrina's Servine in the middle of a battle with Munna.
"Servine…!" Servine cried, unleashing Vine Whip on Munna, who dodged and used Psybeam, doing little damage to him as he then used Leaf Tornado, sending Munna up in the air.
"Whoooa…!" Munna exclaimed before recovering as she then unleashed Psychic to pick up Servine and tossed him to the side, but Servine recovered.
"What's going on?" Riku asked.
"Hmm?" Sabrina turned around. "Oh, just training a couple of my Pokemon."
"I see. Is this because of yesterday?"
"Honestly… yeah…" Sabrina nodded. "Just thinking of those Pokemon that were frozen just… bothers me. And… what also bothers me is why I didn't just kill Lusamine right there… I don't know if I was just holding back… or it was because Lillie was watching and I didn't want to horrify her."
"Hmm…" Riku said and then hugged her from behind. "I would've killed her too…"
"Believe me… I think everyone wanted to." She said, closing her eyes and enjoying her husband embracing her. "I just thought some training would do my Pokemon some good…"
Munna and Servine continued to stare at each other, looking heavily bruised. "So… you want to call it?"
"Servine…"
"Good, me neither." Munna said as they continued to go at it as Servine used Vine Whip to knock down Munna to finish her off.
"Servine." Servine said, standing proudly as he walked over and helped her up.
You're getting stronger…" Munna chuckled and got up.
"Servine." Servine smiled… and then to their surprise, Servine started glowing.
"Oh!"
"He's evolving." Sabrina smiled and then Servine evolved into Serperior.
"Serperior!" Serperior cried.
"Awesome!" Sabrina exclaimed.
Serperior looked back at Sabrina and smiled… and happily slithered over and wrapped his entire body to hug her tightly… a little too tightly that is. "Ooof!"
"Now that's just cute." Munna smiled as they noticed everyone else approaching.
"Oooh! Servine evolved!" Rose ran over as Serperior affectionately nuzzled Rose. "Aww!" She giggled.
Jacob glanced over at Munna and then back at Sabrina as he pulled something out of his pocket. "Hey, Sabrina."
"Yeah?"
"If you feel like you're ready to evolve Munna, use this." He said, handing her a Moon Stone as Munna spotted this.
Hmm? What's that? Munna wondered.
"A Moon Stone?"
"You two have been getting very close ever since we came back from the Mystery Dungeon world. So, I thought this would strengthen the bond even more, you know? You don't have to evolve her if you don't want to, but just in case."
"Thanks." Sabrina said and put it in her pocket.
"What's a 'Mystery Dungeon'?" Moon asked.
"It's a long story." Minene said.
"If you say so."
"It's a dungeon… full of mystery." Hau said. "That's just my guess."
It was then that they heard humming as they turned to see Lillie… looking very adorable. "So, what do you think?" She asked. "I picked these up at Malie, do you think they suit me?"
Moon smiled. "You look nice."
Lillie smiled back. "Thank you, Moon!" She giggled. "Ah, I feel like there's so much I have to do now… to save Nebby… to save my mother… I… I want to be like you, Moon. You're strong no matter what's going on in a trial, I want to be strong just like that too… that's why I'm going to try my hardest." She then smiled. "I've also been working on my Z-Powered form."
Moon raised an eyebrow. "Let's see it."
"Alright!" Lillie said… and proceeded to do it… very… awkwardly.
Hey, at least she looks adorable while doing it.
"I say it needs work." Deadpool said.
"Oh, you…!" Lillie frowned.
"I say it looks fine." Moon said.
"Thank you!" Lillie smiled.
"Hmm, so this is where you were." A voice said as they turned to see Gladion approaching them. "I found this downstairs." He said, giving Lillie the Sun Flute. "It's an artifact from Alola's past. They say it's to be played under the sun's light." He explained. "…The Sun Flute and the Moon Flute. When sounded together, it's said that they can call the Legendary Pokemon… Well, if you believe in old myth's anyway. I think that woman was even planning to add the Legendary Pokemon to her little collection."
"That'd be horrible." Rose said.
"Believe me, it would be." Gladion said and then looked at Moon. "Here, take this with you." He said, tossing her a familiar purple Pokeball.
"What is this?" Moon asked.
"That's a Master Ball, capable of catching any Pokemon without fail." Gladion nodded. "I hope you will all take good care of Lillie."
"Hmm? You're not coming with us?" Lillie asked.
"…Someone's gotta clean up this mess our mother created." Gladion said. "Hmph… to think I spent two years running away from Aether with Null… only to come back." He sighed. "Typical…"
"Well, we might as well go to Poni now." Lillie said.
"Uh… eheheh… this is awkward…" Hau said.
"What?" Moon asked.
"Well, ya see… I kiiiiinda haven't finished Acerola's trial yet… I'm totally behind!"
"…Well, I'm not going to wait for you."
"I totally saw that one coming…" Hau sighed. "Oh well, I'll catch up eventually and challenge you to a battle again."
Moon chuckled. "Looking forward to it."
"Come on, we'll take a boat over to Poni Island." Gladion said. "…And before you have Hoopa take us there, the Aether Foundation has several boats for all of you to use."
"Aww…" Hoopa pouted.
"Let's go."
One trip to Poni Island later…
BGM: Seafolk Village (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"Ah… I feel a lot better now that I'm not over there." Sabrina said, taking a deep breath. "Ah… smell that ocean breeze!"
"Yeah, you kinda miss that when your home gets destroyed." Sora said.
Sabrina sighed. "Yeah… I know…"
"Gladion…" Lillie looked at him. "When you left two years ago… you left me with mother… I'm glad that I had Wicke or I'd…"
"I'm sorry, I was going down my own path and trying to get Null feeling better." Gladion said, looking away. "Had I known that woman would've caused so much damage to you… I would've taken you with me."
He turned around and then hugged his sister. "You'll be fine. You've got Moon and everyone else that'll take care of you… and I know you'll take care of yourself too." He said as Lillie hugged him back before Gladion walked away. "Take care." He said as he hopped on the boat as the Aether boats took off.
Lillie smiled and turned around. "Come on, let's go!" She said as she took off excitedly.
"She's excited." Isaac said.
"Who wouldn't?" Flare chuckled as they walked over as Lillie was done talking to some people as she looked down at a friendly Corsola as she then took off again.
"Hmm, haven't seen you around these parts before! Nice to see a couple new faces around here!" A voice said as they turned to see a man with a Pelipper standing on top of a Wailord boat that's nothing more than a café.
"Oh my goodness!" Lillie exclaimed as the man jumped down and landed in front of them, causing them all to sweatdrop.
Okaaaay...? Sabrina thought.
Yeah, that totally wasn't dangerous at all. Kairi thought.
"I'm sorry… who are you?" Lillie asked.
The man grinned. "Me? I'm the chief of the Seafolk. It's my job to keep everybody together."
"The… seafolk…?" Lillie tilted her head.
"Yes ma'am! What'd you think all these boats 'round here you are here for? We Seafolk have spent years navigating the seas and searching out new wonders. When we find rare things, we bring 'em here to Alola for trade. The ports on the other islands are busier these days, but we still always seem to end up back here on Poni, eh?"
He then looked at them all. "Now, what did you all come here for? You collecting Berries, like us?"
"Oh, we're here to visit the Kahuna."
"The Kahuna…? Hmm… maybe you should go to little Hapu's place? Her house is the only one still standing on Poni after all. Where else would you go?"
"Where's Hapu at?" Moon asked.
"Oh, you can easily tell from a glance thanks to that huge Mudsdale of hers."
"Oh, so she lives here on Poni then?" Lillie asked with a smile. "Thanks!" She turned to the others. "Come on, let's go see Hapu! You guys will love her, she's very sweet!"
"Well, let's go over there then." Riku said as they took off… and dealt with some trainers along the way that Incineroar took care of, but as they did… Riku noticed that Sabrina was missing again as he spotted her at the beach.
"Hmm…" Sabrina looked around. "I wonder if… nah… it's a little too small…"
"Hey, what's going on?" Riku asked.
End BGM
BGM: Just Wondering (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"Hmm?" Sabrina turned to him.
"You disappeared on us and I got a little worried."
"Oh, sorry… I was just exploring." She said, looking at the water to see a Wailmer, Wailord and a Magikarp.
"Come on, we're about to meet Hapu." Riku said.
"Coming." She said as Riku walked off as Sabrina looked back at the beach as she got back on the grass. …Nah, it's too small. She thought and took off.
End BGM
Minene turned her head and saw Sabrina and Riku running up. "Now where the hell were you two lovebirds?"
"I was trying to find her and found her at the beach." Riku said.
"Ah…" Minene nodded.
"I think she was reminiscing a little." Yuno said.
"…I guess you can say that." Sabrina smiled as they kept going until they ran into a Mudsdale.
"Alola, Mudsdale!" Lillie smiled and gently petted its head as it leaned its head forward and nuzzled her. "Aww…!" She giggled as Mudsdale went over and nuzzled Moon's neck.
"H-hey! That tickles!" She laughed.
"Oh! If it isn't Lillie and Moon!" A voice said as they saw a little girl.
"Hapu!" Lillie greeted.
That's Hapu? She looks so… small. Sora thought.
Huh… I was expecting someone a bit… taller. Deadpool thought.
"Hmm? You look different." Hapu said, looking at Lillie.
"Yeah, this is my Z-Powered form!"
Hapu chuckled. "Well, at least you don't look Lily-livered." She teased, causing Lillie to giggle.
…I don't get it. Sabrina thought.
"Hmm? Who are your friends?"
Another introduction later…
"Hmm, where did you find these people?"
"Well… they kinda… dropped in." Moon explained.
"What, like falling from the sky? That'll be the day!" Hapu laughed, as the others sweatdropped.
"So um… do you know where we can find the Kahuna?" Moon asked.
"The Kahuna? Poni doesn't have one."
"Oh…"
"But… I suppose we can head on over to the Ruins of Hope." She said, hopping on Mudsdale.
"What for?" Moon asked.
Hapu chuckled. "You'll just have to wait and see." She said.
"Ruins of Hope… that's where Tapu Fini lives, right?" Lillie asked.
"That's correct." Hapu nodded. "Now, let's mo-… wait."
"Hmm?"
"You're going to need some help." Hapu said. "Hey Gran!"
"Yes, dear?" A voice called from afar.
"Would you update Moon's Page Rider? I think she needs it."
"Okay!"
A few seconds later…
"There we go, now you have Machamp registered." She said.
"Thanks." Moon said. "Hmm… Machamp Shove?" She wondered and curiously tapped it.
"MACHAAAAMP!" A certain Machamp cried as they heard him running over and then stopped as it proceeded to put some gloves on… and started carrying Moon bridal style.
"Wh-whoa!" Moon exclaimed.
Hapu chuckled. "That's a good look for you."
"Is this really necessary…? I'm not sure how I feel that a Machamp is carrying me like a baby. Can't he just give me a piggy back ride?"
Hapu laughed. "That's not Machamp's style. Let's move to Poni Breaker Coast!" She said and took off… while Deadpool took a picture.
"Talk about a major photo op!" Deadpool chuckled.
"…Oh shut up…" Moon muttered as they took off as Moon dismissed Machamp as they went over to Poni Breaker Coast as a Wimpod spotted them and hid behind a rock as everyone soon went towards the Ruins of Hope.
"Ugh, the air feels so… weird here." Rose said.
"It does." Hapu nodded.
"But we're not going to let that stop us." Lillie said and looked at them. "You know, the people who believe that the Guardian Deity of these ruins, Tapu Fini, can wash away any impurities with its mystic water."
"Really? That's cool!" Moon said.
"Yep!" Lillie nodded. "Maybe Tapu Fini can have Cosmog return to normal… this time… I'll save it." She smiled. "Let's go." She said and they walked into the Ruins of Hope… where they saw some huge blocky stones in the way. "…Okay… anyone strong enough…?" Lillie wondered.
Moon looked at them with a hopeful look. "So… any one of you have a strong Pokemon?"
"Who needs strong Pokemon when you have me?" Deadpool asked as he began to push one of the blocks… and he… was getting nowhere. "Mmph…! Nnngh…!"
"…You're not even pushing it hard enough." Minene said.
"HEY! IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!" He yelled, trying to push it again… and then he tried picking it up… and that didn't work. "Ah… my old nemesis… anti-Deadpool blocks!" He growled, taking out his katanas. "TIME TO SLICE AND DICE 'EM!"
"…He can't be serious, can't he?" Tapu asked.
Deadpool began slicing and dicing the block… but instead, his katanas shattered. "NOOOO! MY BABIES!"
"Mudsdale…" Mudsdale sweatdropped.
"You're right… this is getting nowhere fast." Hapu nodded.
Lillie looked at Moon. "I think you have to do it."
"Hold it!" She turned to them. "Do your Pokemon know Strength or anything?"
"No." Sabrina said. "I don't think any of our Legendary Pokemon can push them." She said, and then noticed Minene trying to have Zapdos and Cobalion trying to push it but failing, even Zekrom was having trouble with it.
"I think you have to do it." Lillie said.
Moon sighed. "I was afraid of that." She said, putting on her gear and bringing out her pager, and then Machamp came running in and picking her up… and then shoving in the blocks without breaking a sweat.
"Machamp!" Machamp said proudly.
"Well, that's great and all… but did you have to pick me up while doing that?" Moon wondered.
"Oh come on, it looks cute!" Lillie giggled as Moon dismissed Machamp as Machamp waved and then took off.
As they went in, they saw a statue from afar as Hapu walked over to the statue and touched it… and then the Guardian Deity appeared before them, known as Tapu Fini.
"Fini…" Tapu Fini said, looking at Hapu who smiled at the Guardian Pokemon. "Fini… Fini." It said, closing its eyes and handing something over to her.
Hapu smiled. "Thank you, Tapu Fini." She quietly said. "As Kahuna, I will do my best to protect the people of Poni… and the Pokemon of Alola."
"Fini." Tapu Fini nodded and then spotted the others. "Fini?" It wondered and curiously flew over to them. "Fini Fini?"
"Um, hi…?" Isaac said, not sure what to do.
"Fini! Fini…"
Hapu chuckled. "It seems Tapu Fini is curious about you."
"Rotom, you got any information?" Moon asked.
"Sure do! Tapu Fini can control water. People say it can create pure water that will wash away all uncleanness." He said as Tapu Fini curiously looked at Rotom and poked him. "H-hey!"
"Fini…" Tapu Fini said and then spotted Rose and Maria Jr. "Fini?"
"Hi!" Rose greeted as Maria Jr. smiled as Tapu Fini curiously examined them.
This is so… adorable…! Sabrina thought. Must… not… fangirl… over this…!
"Fini fini…" Tapu Fini rubbed its chin in thought and nodded. "Fini."
"It's saying that it senses lots of potential from those two." Latias said. "It says it's going to give them something."
"Give them something…?" Moon wondered. …I wonder…
Tapu Fini closed its eyes. "Fini…" It said as something glowed and two rings appeared. "Fini!" It said, opening its eyes and gave them it. "Fini."
"Z-Rings?" Moon asked.
"Hmm, that's interesting." Hapu said. "I wonder if it wants them to partake in the trials…? No, they're too young at the moment. You have to be eleven… I wonder if it wants them to get stronger or…? Hmm, I dunno."
"Oh, thanks." Rose said, putting it on with Maria Jr.
"Pika…"
"Meloetta…!"
Obviously, the two Pokemon were amazed and then Tapu Fini looked at Sabrina and floated up. "Fini…"
"Hi…?" Sabrina greeted as Fini put a hand on her shoulder, glowing a little as Sabrina's eyes widened.
"Fini fini?" Tapu Fini asked as Sabrina nodded. "Fini." It said and then it flew off, never to be seen again.
"What was that all about?" Moon wondered.
"I can sense some distress that you're hiding from them. You want them to be successful goddesses as I have sensed in them, but you don't want them to leave after your son leaves your home. Don't worry, I'll watch over them when you're gone… and so with the other Guardians." Tapu Fini's words echoed in her mind.
"Nothing to worry about." She said, trying to hold back her tears as she knelt down and hugged her daughters.
Hapu looked over to Lillie. "If you're looking for the Kahuna, then you're looking right at her!"
Lillie's eyes sparkled. "Really?!"
"Yes."
"Oh, that's amazing! So, what do you know about the Legendary Pokemon? It's said that it can go between worlds, including the Beast's world."
"Hmm, so that's what they were called? That's good to know… Tapu Fini and I tried to fight one off and it nearly did us in… we didn't even stand a chance."
"Oh…"
"But, if you're looking for the Legendary Pokemon, then look no further than the Altar of the Moone, but in order to summon it, you need two flutes. The Sun Flute, and the Moon Flute."
"Well, we have the Sun Flute. It's likely my mother had it."
"Hmm, then she probably found it at the lake at Ula'Ula. As for the Moon Flute, look no further than Exeggutor Island. I don't know why it's there of all places, but it should help you out."
"Thank you." Lillie smiled.
"Alright, off to Exeggutor Island with you!" Hapu smiled.
One trip to Exeggutor Island later…
"So, this is Exeggutor Island, eh?" Moon asked.
"It's pretty… small." Sabrina said.
Lillie giggled. "It may be small, but this is where the Moon Flute is." She said and excitedly ran forward. "Come on, you guys! We gotta find it!"
"She's full of energy…" Sabrina said. "Hmm, was I always like this when I was younger?"
Riku chuckled. "You're just figuring this out now?" He teased, as his wife playfully glared at him.
"You were full of energy back then, and you still are." Latias said. "Nothing stands in your way!"
"You're right… it'll take a lot to take me down!" She grinned as they went on ahead with Lillie.
"Oh Moon Fluuuute, where are you~?" Lillie asked in a sing songy voice… and then she heard rustling. "Hmm?" She turned her head… only to be greeted by a very long necked Alolan Exeggutor.
"Exeggutor!"
BGM: Battle! Wild Pokemon (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"AAAAH!" Lillie screamed, jumping back in surprise.
"I think I saw that the Alolan Exeggutor is Grass/Dragon." Isaac said.
"That's because it is!" Rotom said.
"Then let's freeze this poor sucker." Sabrina said, calling out Kyurem. "Use Ice Beam!"
Exeggutor saw the Ice Beam and bent its neck to simply avoid the Ice Beam, much to their surprise and then it used Wood Hammer on Kyurem in retaliation, knocking him back a little. "Exeggutor!"
"Quite the charismatic fellow, isn't it?" Kyurem asked, shaking off the Wood Hammer as Exeggutor attempted to attack him again, only to be hit by a Psybeam as it turned to see Latias in her Pokemon form.
"Lati!" Latias cried and used Draco Meteor, but to her surprise, it proceeded to dance around the Draco Meteors and then proceeded to attack her to push her away. "Lati…!"
"I've never seen an Exeggutor like this!" Sabrina exclaimed.
"Flamethrower!" Minene, Sora and Kairi ordered their Torkoal, Tepig and Braixen while Yuno ordered Ho-Oh to use Sacred Fire, but to their surprise, Exeggutor bounced around the flames.
"Torkoal…?" Torkoal tilted his head.
"Okay, this Exeggutor is pissing me off!" Minene growled.
"Use Dragon Hammer!" Moon ordered her own Exeggutor. "And use Icicle Crash!" She ordered Sandslash, but then it dodged them all and attacked them as well, but then Isaac had Sylveon manage to strap it down with its feelers.
"Not sure how that worked, but I did it!" Isaac said.
"Victini, Searing Shot!" Rose ordered.
"VIC..TIIINI!" Victini yelled, unleashing Searing Shot on Exeggutor as it cried out in pain… before falling to the ground in defeat.
End BGM
"Well, that's one way to take down a humongous palm tree…" Sabrina rubbed the back of her head.
"You know!" Deadpool looked at Minene. "Exeggutor can use Egg Bomb."
Minene's eye sparkled. "You had me at bomb!" She said.
"…Oh here she goes." Nishijima sighed before chuckling.
"Anyone got a Pokeball?"
"Here, use an Ultra Ball!" Moon tossed it to her as she took it and then threw it as it shook three times before there was a click.
"OH, HELL YEAH!" Minene yelled as she picked it up. "Heheheh… perfect."
"…I'm not even going to ask." Lillie sweatdropped as a raindrop then fell on her nose. "Oh!"
"It's raining already?" Deadpool asked. "Odd, the forecast said it was clear skies today! Agh, why must you foresake me, Accuweather?!"
They soon spotted a cave and ran in. "Agh… my skirt got a little wet…" Lillie complained. "Oh well." She shrugged before she looked up at the sky. "You know, when I was little, there was one time when I ran out in the rain and started to dance in the rain. My mother spotted me and was really shocked that she ran out and…" She started to giggle. "Dance in the rain with me!"
Moon laughed. "That's incredible!"
"I know! Of course, we did catch cold, but we snuggled together in her nice warm bed… of course… that was before she became obsessed with the Ultra Beasts… I don't know why… but deep down… I need to go over there… and tell her something before I save her." She said, unaware of what the others were thinking besides Moon… And then the rain cleared up. "Oh!" She walked out, seeing the rainbow in front of her. "Ah, I feel like the rest of the day is going to be a good omen!" She smiled as they proceeded to go around the island and then found the Moon Flute.
"Is that the Moon Flute?" Rose asked.
"It is." Lillie nodded. "This along with the other flute should summon the Legendary Pokemon… if not, then we probably did an offering that the people did long ago." She said as Moon took it and off they went back to Vast Poni Canyon… but before they did, Team Skull got in the way.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me." Latias said.
"Yo, were you at Aether? You probably did something to our boy, Guzma!" A Team Skull Grunt said. "We won't take kindly to that, you know! We'll knock your blocks off!"
"That won't be necessary." A voice said as they saw Plumeria hopping off of a palm tree and walked over to them and talked them out of it as the gang walked off. "…Lillie, was it?"
"Yes."
"…I'm sorry for what I've done to you earlier. I was just following orders from the president… I shouldn't have done that."
"While it is true that my mother is selfish and only uses her love for the things that only matter to her… I still need to tell her something as I attempt to save her…" Lillie said.
Plumeria chuckled. "You're kind of like the President… but you're different than her… and I kinda like that. You should save Guzma while you're at it."
"I will."
"Good." She nodded and looked at Moon. "I have to be honest, you continue to amaze me. Not only did you stand up against Team Skull, but you managed to take the darkness out of Aether along with your friends. I kinda dig that."
"Thanks… I guess?"
"Here, this is for you. Think of it as me apologizing for my behavior earlier." She said, tossing a Poisonium Z Crystal as Moon took it. "Now, as for you…" She looked at the family. "I'm not sure why you came to this world, but I do appreciate you helping Moon and Lillie… what do you call yourselves… the Heroes of Light or something else completely dorky? Hmph, either way… I wonder what it's like… fighting for that light." She said, and then saw Sabrina's Fairy Tail mark on her hand. "Hmm, are you in some kind of cult?"
"Cult? No… I'm not part of some cult. I actually belong-"
"Hmm, if it's not a cult… then I imagine it's something else." Plumeria said. "Hmm, it could be a symbol that means 'family' or something cheesy among those lines. Still, whatever it is… just keep fighting for it." She said and then turned around. "Later." She took off.
"If only she knew." Deadpool chuckled as they proceeded to take off where they met up with Hapu again in the Vast Poni Canyon.
"Oh, Alola Hapu!" Lillie greeted.
"Alola to you too, Lillie!" Hapu greeted. "So, I bet you got that Moon Flute."
"I did… although Moon and the others had to save me from an Exeggutor."
Hapu smiled. "Nothing wrong with that. People can't survive on their own. They have to help each other out, Pokemon too! That's what my grandfather used to say." She said, as they were unaware of Deadpool behind Moon and doing something as he casually walked away as she turned to Moon. "I'd like to see your battling style that always makes Lillie so happy."
Moon nodded. "Let's do it."
"Good." Hapu smirked. "Just so… it's my grand trial! I may be young, but that shouldn't mean I will be outdone by the other Kahunas! I am certain that my bonds with Mudsdale and the rest of my team are the closest you will find anywhere in Alola! Are you ready?"
Moon got in a position. "I'm ready!"
Hapu smirked. "Then so am I!" She said, taking out her Pokeball. "Let's go, Dugtrio!"
BGM: Battle! Island Kahuna
A Ground/Steel type… Moon thought. "Let's go, Incineroar!"
Incineroar came out of his Pokeball. "Roar!" He smirked.
"Can I just go ahead and say that Dugtrio's hair looks FABULOUS?!" Deadpool exclaimed. "Seriously, I think it rivals Ampharos when it mega evolves!"
Okay, I can see why they keep saying 'It's Deadpool, don't question it'. Moon thought. "Flare Blitz!"
"Duck and use Earthquake!"
Moon's eyes widened. "Jump up!"
"Trio trio TRIO!" Dugtrio yelled, unleashing the Earthquake, but then Incineroar jumped at the right time as Dugtrio looked around, where Incineroar used Flare Blitz to smack into Dugtrio to knock it down for the count.
"Not bad!" Hapu said, recalling Dugtrio. "But I'm just getting warmed up." She said. "Let's go, Gastrodon!"
Moon put Incieroar away. Water/Ground… I know the perfect one for this. She thought. "Let's go, Exeggutor!"
"Exeggutor!"
"Muddy Water." Hapu ordered, as Gastrodon unleashed the Muddy Water as Exeggutor bent down as Moon grabbed on to its back so she wouldn't be trapped under the Muddy Water.
"Okay, use Wood Hammer!" She ordered as Exeggutor bent back to let go and then unleashed Wood Hammer on it.
"Gastro…!"
"Recover!"
"Wood Hammer again!"
Exeggutor used Wood Hammer again as Gastrodon jumped to the side to try and Recover, but then it got slammed into a wall, causing Hapu to wince.
"Oh, that'll hurt…" She said, recalling Gastrodon. "Let's go, Flygon!"
Dragon vs Dragon, eh? Moon smirked. "Dragon Hammer!"
"Dodge that and use Dragon Breath!"
Flygon flew to the side, avoiding the Dragon Hammer and when Exeggutor went back up, Flygon used Dragon Breath at point blank, as Exeggutor cried out in agony.
"Exeggutor!" Moon exclaimed in horror. "Use Psyshock!"
"That's not going to work." Hapu smirked as Flygon used Earth Power to weaken it more… and then used Dragon Breath again just for good measure. "Nice one!"
Moon growled a little and put Exeggutor away. "Alright, Toxapex… You're up!" She said, calling out Toxapex… but…
"Greninja!"
"WHAT THE?!" Moon and Sabrina yelled.
"Huh, that's a funny name to call a Greninja." Hapu said.
"Ninja?" Greninja turned around to see that he was in front of Moon and not Sabrina. "Grenin?!"
"What? Toxapex is a Poison/Water and Ground is basically immune to Poison! I was just doing you a favor!" Deadpool said.
"So… does this mean I have Toxapex?" Sabrina asked.
"…Maybe…" Deadpool said.
Sabrina looked at Greninja. "Uh… just go with it, I guess…?" She shrugged as Greninja nodded.
"I already scanned the moves, so you're good to go!" Rotom said, placing himself in her hands and showing the moves that he has.
Interesting… Moon nodded.
"Well, he's technically in your arsenal so that counts as your Pokemon at the moment." Hapu shrugged.
"Um… use Water Shuriken…!"
"Ninja!" Greninja nodded as he ran over.
"Dodge it and use Dragon Breath!"
Flygon prepared to dodge the Water Shuriken and then flew up to use Dragon Breath, but then Greninja slid underneath the Dragon Breath and used a Water Shuriken at point blank to knock it back. "Fly…!"
"Use Hydro Pump!"
"GreNIN!" Greninja unleashed Hydro Pump as Flygon was still shaking off the Water Shuriken and got hit by the Hydro Pump, slamming it into a wall as Flygon fell to the ground in defeat.
"Hmm, that's a powerful Greninja." Hapu said, pulling it away as Mudsdale stepped forward. "I wonder if we can tone down the power a little." She said, nodding at Mudsdale as it got ready, and then did a Z-Powered pose.
Moon's eyes widened. "Greninja, get ready!"
"Ninja!"
"Tectonic Rage!" Hapu ordered.
"MUUUDS!" Mudsdale yelled, stomping its foot on the ground to crack the earth underneath it and causing Greninja to drop in, but he grabbed on to the edges.
"Ninja…!"
"Take it down!" Hapu ordered as Mudsdale jumped up and slammed into Greninja and then taking him for a joy ride.
No! Sabrina thought.
"GRENINJA! TRY TO STOP THAT WITH HYDRO PUMP!" Moon yelled, hoping that he could here her… unaware that he did.
"Gre… NIIIIN!" Greninja yelled, unleashing Hydro Pump on Mudsdale to push him back.
"DAAAALE!" Mudsdale cried, gushing out of the crevice as Greninja emerged out of the crevice as well.
"What the…?!" Hapu exclaimed as Greninja was right above the Draft Horse Pokemon, as Sabrina saw this and was so excited… that she couldn't help herself to say one thing.
"FINISH IT OFF WITH WATER SHURIKEN!" She and Moon said together as Greninja gave the thumbs up and charged up Water Shuriken.
"GRENIIIIIIN!" Greninja yelled, unleashing the Water Shuriken and sending it straight towards Mudsdale as he went straight towards the ground, creating a humongous crater and knocking out the Mudsdale as Greninja landed perfectly on his feet. "Ninja!"
End BGM
Hapu closed her eyes and chuckled. "Well, that was an interesting battle." She said and then went over to see if Mudsdale is alright.
"That… was so amazing!" Moon exclaimed and turned to Sabrina. "You have one heck of a strong Greninja!"
Sabrina smiled. "I sure do…" She said as Greninja high fived Moon before walking over and hugging Sabrina as she hugged him back. "Great job, Greninja." She whispered as Mudsdale got back up, shaking it off.
"Glad to see you're still alright."
"Mudsdale." Mudsdale nodded as Deadpool switched the Pokeballs back.
Hapu chuckled. "You know, I've got a lot to learn… I've learned quite a few things after this battle." She then pulled something out of her pocket. "Here, you earned the Groundium Z." She said, tossing it over to her as Moon took it.
"Thanks."
"Anytime." She nodded. "Now, in order to get to the Altar of the Moone, you have to go through the Vast Poni Canyon… which is swarming with tons of tough trainers that come to train… you should be ready. That includes you too, Lillie… you have to help them as well."
Lillie nodded. "I'll do my best."
"Good." Hapu smiled and hopped on Mudsdale. "If you're in any trouble, Mudsdale and I will come to you in haste." She said and then took off.
Lillie turned around. "Let's go." She said as they nodded and went in.
BGM: Vast Poni Canyon (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
So they went through the Vast Poni Canyon with Moon proceeding to take down the many trainers in the area, but in one case, Charjabug called himself out as Moon was going to have Incineroar take care of it, and so, Charjabug battled until its opponent was defeated.
"Way to go, Charjabug!"
"Charja!" Charjabug smiled… and then… it started to glow.
"Oh! I know what this is!" Maria Jr grinned as Charjabug evolved into Vikavolt.
"VIKAAAAA!"
"Oh, that is so cool!" Moon exclaimed. "Charjabug finally evolved!"
"Hmm, it's said that it can only evolve here of all places." Rotom said. "Probably something to do with this place, I imagine. Oh well." He shrugged and then they proceeded to go further until they came across a bridge.
"Man… this place is so crazy how it winds around… but I know we're getting closer." Lillie said and then came across a bridge. "Oh…!" She exclaimed.
"You're still afraid of heights, aren't you?" Moon asked.
"I may be… but I'm not going to let that stop me. This is my first trial… and I'm going to conquer my fear of heights." She said, proceeding to do her very adorable Z-Pose and then she looked at the bridge. I can do this. She thought and walked across… unaware of three Murkrow watching her.
"Krow Krow!"
"Murkrow?"
"Murkrow!"
"Krow!"
They then proceeded to dive bomb Lillie as she looked up. "Oh my!" She exclaimed as the three Murkrow surrounded her.
"Murkrow krow!"
Lillie clenched her fists and closed her eyes, as she heard the sounds of Pokeballs being activated. "No." She said. "I can do this." She told them as she took a deep breath… and went between the Murkrow as they glared at her before she made it across. "…I did it… I DID IT! WOOHOO!" She cheered as the others made it over while shooing the Murkrow away as they went further.
They soon came across another bridge and proceeded to cross it… until…
"Whoa, hold it!" A woman said, using her fingers together to form a canvas. "Now that's quite the canvas!" She grinned. "Hmm… Mysterious Strangers of Poni…? No… Mysterious Visitors to Poni? Yeah, that's got a good ring to it."
"Sorry… who are you?" Moon asked.
"Oh! Sorry, I'm Mina, a Trial Captain… well… kind of. I still need to think of a trial and everything." She said. "I've got all of Poni, so I'm sure I can find the perfect site. Hmm… now what to do with the trial… have them make a painting or… actually… I like the sound of that!"
"Uh…"
"Oh, sorry… lost in my little world." Mina smiled. "Here, take this." She said, tossing over a Farium Z. "It's Farium Z… so… have at it, I suppose." She said and walked off. "Alola!" She waved and then disappeared.
"Okay… she was weird." Sabrina said.
"Right?!" Moon agreed as they went further and defeated a few more trainers until they got to the trial site.
"A trial site…" Lillie said. "You ready for this?"
"Yeah." Moon nodded. "Let's go." She said and then they went in.
End BGM
As they went into the trial site, they saw a sign… or a monument, if you will.
"Ahead lies a sacred ground of trials. None who do not take part in its trials are not allowed to walk upon this earth. Those lacking the courage to defeat the totem guarding this land will be denied entry. But those who believe in their Pokemon and walk beside them shall gain great power!"
"Ha! It doesn't say anything about friends helping a friend doing the trials!" Deadpool grinned. "Man, I love loopholes!"
"Let's go." Moon said as they walked forward, feeling like something was watching them… and then a Jangamo-o appeared.
"Jangamo!" The little creature cried.
"Oh my god… that is so… ADORABLE!" Sabrina yelled before slapping herself to prevent herself from going into fangirl mode. "…Ow…"
Moon proceeded to battle the Jangamo-o as it was fairly simple battle as the Jangam-o took off as they went further, as they felt the gaze turning into a soul-piercing gaze… and then a Hakamo-o appeared before them, as Moon battled it as well, as it proved a bit challenging but she remained victorious.
They soon got over to the pedestal holding the Dragonium Z as they went over to it… as the soul-piercing gaze was now a soul shattering gaze… and then a huge Pokemon landed in front of them.
"KOMMOOOO!"
It was a Kommo-o!
BGM: Battle! Totem Pokemon (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"KOMMOOOO!" It cried, and then a Scizor landed next to it, ready to help it.
"Scizor!"
"Alright, Exeggutor… let's ro-" Incineroar came out of his Pokeball. "Incineroar?!"
Incineroar looked at her and gave her the thumbs up, ready to fight the Scizor. "Alright…" She nodded. "I need some help with the Kommo-o!"
"Sabrina, you ready?" Latias asked. "This time, I'm going in my Pokemon form for this!" She said, transforming. "Lati!"
"Got it!" Sabrina nodded as the rest saw a bunch of Jangmo-o and Hakamo-o came in from behind as the rest took them on while Sabrina Mega Evolved Latias.
"LATIAAAAAS!" Latias cried, and then glared at Kommo-o.
"Kommo!" Kommo-o did a 'come at me' taunt while readying itself as Latias unleashed an Ice Beam attack but the Kommo-o dodged and used a Sky Uppercut to knock her up, but she recovered and unleashed a Draco Meteor, but to her surprise, the Kommo-o brushed it off despite taking heavy damage from that.
"Lati…!" Latias flew over, but Kommo-o used Clanging Scales. "LATI!" Latias cried, covering her ears as Kommo-o used another Sky Uppercut and then using Clanging Scales again. "Lati…AAAAS!" Latias yelled, unleashing Dragon Breath as the Kommo-o shielded itself, not caring if it got heavily damaged.
Latias flew back down and used Psybeam, but Kommo-o jumped to the side and ran over as Latias used Ice Beam as the Kommo-o withstood that and used the Sky Uppercut and Clanging Scales combination to deal serious damage to her.
"Come on, Latias… stay strong!" Sabrina cheered her on as Latias kept going and used Dragon Breath, but Kommo-o jumped to the side and punched her down and held her down. "LATIAS!"
"Lati…as…!" Latias growled as Kommo-o smirked, ready to finish her off… when suddenly, Scizor slammed into it to knock it off of her as Incineroar dusted his hands together before getting into a position as Moon did her Z-Move pose for Incinium Z and the boxing ring appeared as Incineroar ran over and hopped on, smirking at them and then jumping up, and then slamming into them, causing an explosion that knocked the two out.
"ROOOOOOOOOAR!" Incineroar roared in triumph.
End BGM
"Lati… Lati….as…" Latias groaned and returning to normal, but Lillie was right there.
"Hang on, Latias… I'll patch you up." She said, using a Full Restore on her to heal her up.
"Lati…!" Latias smiled, hugging Lillie before transforming back to normal.
"Latias, I'm so sorry… I didn't know it was that strong enough to-"
"Oh, don't worry about it, Sabrina." Latias smiled. "To be perfectly honest, I was hoping I'd have a challenging fight like we had those fights in the past!" She said, hugging her as Sabrina smiled and hugged her back as the other Pokemon went away and Moon grabbed the Dragonium Z.
"Alright, let's go." Moon said as they walked out and found themselves at the bottom of the Altar of the Moone.
"Hey, wait up!" A voice said as they turned to see Hapu and Mudsdale approaching them.
"Oh, hey!" Lillie greeted as Hapu hopped off of Mudsdale as Hapu walked over to the steps… and then turned around.
"Did you know that that the very first trial to be ever held in Alola was none other than the Vast Poni Canyon?" She chuckled. "You guys did a fine job clearing it."
Lillie looked at Moon with a smile. "You've cleared all seven trials in Alola now! That's amazing!"
Moom grinned. "Yeah, it is."
Lillie still smiled. "You sure know how to push yourself beyond your limits! I mean, you've become such a great trainer that you've basically bonded with all your Pokemon!"
Hapu chuckled. "This will work out perfectly."
Lillie nodded. "The Moon Flute and the Sun Flute… if we sound both of them together…" She turned to them. "Let's go!"
Several stairs climbed later…
BGM: To the Altar! (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"H-holy… Miltank…!" Moon sighed as she collapsed.
Kairi collapsed on her knees. "Man… that… that was something…!"
"Should've done our HDD… would've been a lot… faster…" Flare sighed as everyone else was catching their breath.
"Haven't they… ever… heard… of an elevator…?!" Lillie asked.
"That'd be too simple." Hapu said.
After they caught their second wind, they looked around the Altar of the Moone, then they looked at the sky as it was night. "Well, it could've been worse… we could've done it in the sun." Deadpool said. "…In the middle of July."
"I didn't… even realize it got dark..." Moon said. "Apparently, we spent a long time in the canyon…"
"The power of the moon… it's incredibly powerful here." Lillie said. "Nebby… I'm going to wake my mother up and see reason before I send you back to your world… I'm going to make her hear me… I'm going to tell her… how I feel! Even if I'm not a trainer, I can still do that much!"
She then brought out the Sun Flute. "The Sun Flute… it feels like I can play it." She then looked at Moon. "And you can play the Moon Flute!"
"…Um… bad idea…"
"Why's that?"
"I kinda… suck with the flute…"
Sometime in the past…
"Oh sweet, a Flute! I've always wanted this for my birthday! Thanks mom!" She smiled and then began to play it… and was so off-key, that it shattered a window, causing her mother to cover her ears and Meowth to put a pillow over its head. "…Whoops…"
In the present…
"Day after day, I tried to improve but I wasn't getting anywhere… " She sighed. "It came to the point that one month later… I just gave up on it."
"Oh… that stinks." Lillie said.
"Yeah… sorry."
"Oh no, it's fine. Not everyone's good at everything." Lillie smiled. "I wonder if anyone else could…?" She wondered and then looked at Hapu.
"In your dreams." Hapu said.
"Hmm… I wonder who's a good flute player?" Lillie wondered.
Riku chuckled. "You should ask my wife."
Lillie looked at Riku in amazement and then looked hopeful at Sabrina. "Is it true?"
"Yeah… but…" Sabrina rubbed the back of her head. "I haven't played that thing ever since Rose was born… I might be a bit rusty…"
Lillie smiled. "Rusty or not, I'm sure you'll do a great job!"
"Hmm, I didn't know mommy played the flute." Rose said.
"I kinda forgot that she did." Isaac said.
"Yeah, same here." Minene said. "She's a freaking rockstar with that!"
Lille tossed her the Moon flute. "Let's do this!"
"Yeah." Sabrina nodded, grabbing it and then going on to the other end while everyone else watched as they looked at each other and nodded as they put the flute to their lips. Here goes… She thought, closing her eyes.
End BGM
At the Citadel…
"Mew?" Mew turned her head and flew off.
"Mew? Where are you going?" Xarina asked, taking off after her as Mew flew outside and got to Rosalina's Observatory, as Rosalina saw it.
"Hmm? What's Mew up to?"
"I have no idea…"
"Mew… Mew…" Mew got to the tip of the Observatory and closed her eyes, transforming into Meloetta. "Meloetta!"
"Why is she transforming into Meloetta?"
Meloetta smiled and started to sing. "Melo Melo Melo~!"
Back at the Alola Region…
"Hmm? Are you guys hearing that?" Hapu asked.
"I am…" Hapu nodded. "Is a Pokemon close by?"
"Mela Mela Mela~!"
"Whoa, check out mommy!" Rose said as they saw light pouring out of Sabrina, but she was closing her eyes to even notice what was going on, but she did feel as if Mew… or Meloetta, was right there with her.
Maria Jr. turned to Meloetta. "Is that coming from you?"
"Melo?" Meloetta shrugged.
Lillie opened her eyes to see what was going on for a split second. What in the world…? She wondered as she closed her eyes, as everyone else saw the water lighting up and going straight up the wall, proceeding to open up and fire a huge laser thing at the middle of the place, causing them to stop playing… but they kept hearing Meloetta singing.
It was then that Lillie's bag flew off of her back and went straight towards the explosion of lights… thing as Nebby came out of the bag and started glowing crazily.
"Nebby…?" Lillie wondered as Nebby continued to light up… before evolving into a Legendary Pokemon.
Lunala, the Moone Pokemon, let out a lout screech.
Lunala flew around while Lillie looked on in amazement as Lunala landed in front of them.
Sabrina put the flute away as the singing stopped. Mew… was that you that everyone heard?
Back at the Citadel…
"Meloetta!" Meloetta smiled before transforming back into Mew.
"Mew mew!" Mew flew down and happily circled around Xarina before happily resting on her head. "Mew…"
Xarina smiled. "You sure are weird sometimes, you little cutie."
"Mew…!"
Alola…
"Never in my life… that I would think that you would evolve into the Legendary Pokemon!" Lillie exclaimed.
Lunala nodded, growling gently.
"Lunala, no… Nebby… I need to go to that world and save my mother! Please, help us!"
Lunala nodded, flying up and using Moongeist Beam to create a hole in the rift… and proceeding to grab everyone, including Hapu and Mudsdale, into the hole.
BGM: Ultra Space (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
Lunala screeched, as everyone appeared in the not-so-creepy Ultra Space.
…Okay, it's very creepy.
"Whoa… so we're in Ultra Space…" Lillie said.
Rose shuddered. "This place scares me…"
"Ugh… it's kinda hard to breathe in here." Yuno said.
"Hmm… are Ultra Beasts… even actually Pokemon…?" Lillie wondered. "…Even so… I need to save mother…" She said and turned to Lunala. "Are you coming with us?"
Lunala shook her head.
"Oh, you're going to stay right there?"
Lunala nodded.
"Okay, we'll be back." Lillie said as they walked forward, being aware of the Nihilego floating around an being on guard, waiting for something to jump out at them.
"I'm the Team Skull boss…" A voice said, catching their attention as they looked around, wondering where the voice came from. "…And I've never been scared of nothing or nobody. Heck, I live my life making people scared of ME! So listen to what big bad Guzma has to say…"
They then spotted Guzma sitting on a ledge of some sort, looking down at them… and he looked kind of freaked out.
"Y'all are stupid!" He scolded as he then hopped down. "How in the world did you even get to this place? I've had no idea how you did it, but here you are. It's all dark here… I've got no clue what's going on, but there's beasts everywhere. I tried to catch one of those things…" He flashbacked to when he cockily tried to catch one of the Ultra Beasts, but the Nihilego simply disappeared and then went over over to him, causing him to look on in horror.
He then looked at them, shaking like a leaf. "But that's when it possessed me! And that's when it happened! My body, my mind… they started running wild, and I couldn't do anything about it…" He grabbed on to his head. "It was like I became somebody else, and I finally felt what fear feels like! It was terrifying!"
"Guzma…" Lillie said.
Guzma turned around. "I may be the Team Skull boss, and I've never been scared of nothing or nobody, but… that lady… she's waaaay far gone! She lost her mind over these Ultra Beasts… there's no talking to her, no reasoning with her… she's just gone... not to mention some strange dark creatures started possessing her too when we were in here."
"Strange dark creatures… you mean the Heartless?" Isaac asked.
"The Heart what now?" Guzma asked as they explained as Moon's, Hapu's, and Lillie's eyes widened in surprise… including Guzma. "Hmph, if it was my guess, she must be the Heartless Queen at this rate!"
Lillie growled. "That doesn't change anything… Heartless or not, I still have to talk to her!" She said and took off.
"Wait, no!" Guzma exclaimed. "Your mother isn't… agh…!" He exclaimed in frustration as they went after her, while Guzma stuck around.
End BGM
Lillie looked around. "Mother! MOTHER! COME OUT!" She yelled as some Nihilego appeared… and then moved away as Lusamine appeared… but there was a Heartless symbol smack dab in the middle of her chest.
Lusamine chuckled darkly. "Look at it… the world of my Ultra Beasts…"
BGM: Lusamine's Madness (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"A world where the only thing exists is the love between Nihilego and myself. So beautiful… so delicious… This is the real paradise!" She said… and then glared at them all. "AND YET YOU! Why must you continue to pester me?! I am SICK of you! Sick through and through! Who told you that you could come here, to the perfect, beautiful world of my beasts and me?!"
"Think about what you're saying! What about Mr. Guzma?!" Lillie asked. "Don't you care about what happens to him?! And why do you have the Heartless symbol on your chest? Sabrina and her family told me about the Heartless! They're vile! They're cruel! You are not one of them!"
"SILENCE!" Lusamine yelled. "The Heartless are just as beautiful as the Ultra Beasts and they are welcome into my world… unlike you! You know what? Just leave! I don't need you any longer!" She smirked, causing Lillie to gasp in surprise. "Look around you! Look at this beautiful world that I've finally come to! You want me to go back to that world? That's what you've come to bother me for? Even YOU cannot be that stupid!"
Oh my gosh… Moon thought.
Alright… this bitch is going down the minute she stops rambling. Sabrina thought.
Lillie clenched her fists. "You always do that… it's just like it was back at Aether Paradise… only thinking of yourself and what you want…"
"What…? And why shouldn't I? I can live here in a world filled with only the things that I love… and I will live here!" She got up. "I don't CARE if you're my child or not! I don't care if you were loyal to me or not! I don't care if you're the rarest Pokemon there is in the world or not! If you're not beautiful enough to be worthy of my love… then I don't NEED you!"
Mother… Lillie thought.
"That's right! All I need to exist in my world are the things that I want to have with me! Everything else is just a bother to me!"
End BGM
Sabrina got ready to walk forward and punch the wind out of Lusamine… but Lillie walked forward and then slapped her, causing everyone to look at her in surprise.
BGM: Steely Lillie! (Pokemon Sun and Moon)
"I am the one who is SICK of you, mother!" She shouted. "Children are not just THINGS that belong to their parents! Pokemon are not just THINGS that a Trainer can do whatever they want to!"
Lusamine glared at her. "You little brat…"
"I am alive… Cosmog is alive… WE ARE NOT THINGS FOR YOU TO COLLECT! We're not made for you to just discard when you get bored with us! This is terrible, mother! YOU are terrible!"
"Terrible? Me? How am I different from any Pokemon trainer, like your little "friends" there? What do you do with a Pokemon you can't use? You remove it from your party, as you please. Enough with this useless talk, Lillie! I will never forgive you for stealing Cosmog from me. NEVER! Back when you were small, you would listen to everything I said, without question. For a time, even you were adorable to me!"
She started chuckling darkly. "But you've changed… you've become ugly. Ever since you met Moon… and learned how to defy your mother… and met up with these ugly hooligans from who knows where they came from… how dare that ALL of you intrude upon this world that was meant for Nihilego and me? It is not to be borne! And with Nihilego's power, I will show you how WRONG you were to come here!"
End BGM
She then pulled out an unknown Pokeball of sorts and tossed it up in the air, as a Nihilego came out of it… and descended towards her as she then transformed… into one hell of an ugly monster.
"MOTHER, NO!" Lillie screamed.
"BEGONE!" Lusamine yelled, firing a dark laser that hit Lillie as she screamed in agony and was knocked back, unconscious.
"LILLIE!" Rose yelled.
"Alright, you asked for it!" Sabrina growled, transforming into Nightmare Spawn. "I am going to enjoy this!"
"Pokemon, come to my aid!" Lusamine ordered, as her Pokemon, now fully powered up, glared at them all.
Lillie weakly got up. "M-Mother…"
"Oh, you're still not dead? Then THIS will!" She smirked, firing another laser.
"BANEFUL BUNKER!" Moon screamed as Toxapex got in the way and used Baneful Bunker to block the attack.
"Toxa!"
"Alright, even I think that's going too far!" Guzma said as he called out his Pokemon to come help, and then Hapu did the same thing along with Moon.
"Toxapex, protect Lillie, we'll take care of her Pokemon!" Moon ordered.
"Toxa!"
"Then I will take care of you outsiders." Lusamine smirked. "STARTING WITH THAT BITCH THAT RUINED MY BEAUTY!" She yelled.
"I swear, I'd be surprised if Sun and Moon still has that E rating…" Isaac said, summoning his Keyblade but suddenly, they heard a cry as Lunala came in and used her signature move to separate Lusamine from the Nihilego.
"Agh…!" Lusamine growled as the Nihilego was unconscious.
"Thanks!" Flare exclaimed as Lunala nodded.
"So what? I'll still take you down… after all… I am a Heartless now!" She smirked, screaming in rage as threatening Heartless wings came out from her back, complete with a dark sword. "En garde!"
BGM: Demystify Feast (Touhou: Concealed the Conclusion)
It was then that a few Pokeballs opening up were heard as Red Genesect and Null were out. "Mind if we join you?" Red Genesect asked.
"Go ahead." Nightmare Spawn said as Rose and Maria Jr. transformed as well, including Flare, Isaac, Riku and Yuno.
"You guys got cool forms, all I got are Drive forms." Sora said, transforming into his Final Form.
"They're cool to us." Kairi said.
"I know, but it feels overshadowed compared to you guys…"
"Sorry, sweetheart." Kairi said, readying her staff.
"Hmph, ugly forms…" Lusamine growled. "I'll just wipe them out!"
"Just try us." Twilight Knight said.
"Lillie's not going to like this… but honestly, a mother doesn't hurt her child like that." Nightmare Heart said, flying over as Lusamine did the same as they both slashed each other several times before she quickly jumped back and fired streams of darkness, but Lusamine flew around them and slashed her, but she blocked the attack.
"A mother CAN hurt her child when they're useless!"
"…Honestly, you don't know a thing about parenthood… and it makes me sick."
"Oh, you think you're so freaking perfect?!"
"I didn't say that. Even I make mistakes… but those mistakes help me improve to be a better mother."
"Blah blah blah! All I'm hearing is that you love those ugly things you call children!"
"…As a fellow mother… it breaks my heart that you'd go so far as to harm your child… you're leaving me with no other choice!" She said, flying over and slashing Lusamine down where Twilight Knight shot her and then Red Sister screamed at her to knock her back, but Lusamine recovered and fired a few streams of darkness, but they quickly dodged.
"Your heart is ugly as you… IT'S NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS MINE!"
"Okay, she's officially lost it and I don't think any asylums will hold her… I doubt even Arkham Asylum would hold her!" Isaac said.
"Since when has Arkham Asylum ever held anyone?!" Flare asked as Kairi fired Danmaku as Sora slashed Lusamine a few times where Minene came up from behind and kicked her away where she pressed a button and pressed it, sending her high into the sky where Deadpool shot her along with Nishijima, then Saki and Satoru burned her alive.
"GAAAH!" Lusamine screamed and then growled. "DIIIIIIE!" She yelled, unleashing powerful dark energy to send them back as she flew down but Null got in the way and used the top of his to strike her and used Takedown. "Argh… so you're that third Type: Null that escaped!"
"I don't care what happens to me… as long as you are defeated!"
"That can be arranged!" Lusamine smirked, attempting to slash it, but Red Sister unleashed a Thundaga and then Null turned around and kicked her away, where Unbound Dragoon proceeded to unleash a combination of Water and Fire, then Latias unleashed a Psybeam on her.
"Alright… let's finish this bitch off." Nightmare Heart said, glowing a little.
"What's with the…?" Isaac wondered.
"Heh, I worked on this with the Nightmare Animatronics on a few test dummies… and I say this worked out pretty well." She smirked. "Let's do this…!"
Limit Break: Living Nightmare
Lusamine tried to attack, but suddenly, Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare grabbed a hold of her. "Let… go of me!" She said, but they didn't let go as Nightmare Puppet soon walked over and used its claws to slash her, as she screamed in agony, then Nightmare Mangle wrapped around her and held her down as Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmare proceeded to punch her repeatedly until they disappeared as Plushtrap soon climbed up, then forcefully shut her eyes… and then climbed up and pulled her eyelids back and then let go as they slammed back into her eyeballs as she cried out in agony… then Plushtrap and Nightmare Mangle disappeared.
As she opened her eyes, Springtrap was right there and punched her in the gut and used an uppercut as he knelt down and Nightmare Bonnie used Springtrap as a stepstool and jumped up, then scissor kicked her down were Nightmare Chica aimed at her, then launched her cupcake at her where the Cupcake got off of the plate and bit down on her face as she screamed… and then three small Nightmare Freddies climbed on to her as she tried to shake them off while the cupcake disappeared… and then Nightmare Spawn was above Lusamine, holding Nightmare Freddy and then let go as he free fell… before kicking her in the head… and then screamed at her before pulling her up and then sucker punched her, and then the Animatronics surrounded her, as she looked completely terrified and then Nightmare Spawn landed in the ring, with two Keyblades out.
"Wh-who are you?!"
"A Mama bear… and don't you forget it." She said as all the Nightmare Animatronics (and Springtrap) roared as she used Zantetsuken to finish the Limit Break as she screamed in agony and fell on both knees.

"…And to this day, I still wonder why people want to mess with us…" Silver Sister said.
"They're stupid, I'll give them that." Minene said. "Glad I got to blow her up."
"We're done here." Nightmare Heart said, putting her Keyblades away and transforming back as everyone did the same. "You're not even worth killing."
"Wh-what…?" Lusamine asked, looking at her in shock as Sabrina walked over to Lusamine, extending her arm out.
"You may be a Heartless and you have cyrogenetically froze Pokemon… but somehow… deep down, I know there's some good in you." She said. "I can teach you how to be a good mother… in fact, I know some friends who can help you as well."
Lusamine looked away, looking at Sabrina's kind face as she clenched her fists. "Alright…" She muttered as she was then pulled up. "..There's just one thing…"
"And what is it?"
"The thing is…" She smirked wickedly. "YOU'RE TOO TRUSTING!" She yelled, unleashing a dark shockwave that knocked her back, and then fired streams of darkness at her.
BGM: Shaded Truths (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)
"MOTHER, NO!" Lillie screamed.
"MOM!" Isaac yelled, running over and taking the blow. "G-GAAAAH!" He yelled, knocked over.
"ISAAC!" Sabrina yelled and then Lusamine shot them all down, and then aimed back at Sabrina.
"Like I would ever take advice from you!" Lusamine exclaimed. "I knew there was a weakness… and now I've exploited it!" She laughed as Sabrina tried to use Curaga, but Lusamine shot the Keyblade off of her. "Your Keyblade WILL NOT WORK!" She aimed at Sabrina as some Heartless held them down. "I may not have the right power to destroy the Keyblade yet… BUT I CAN DESTROY YOU!" She yelled.
"MOTHER!" Lillie screamed as Lusamine fired at Sabrina… but something stopped it, as Genesect got in the way.
"Wh-what?!" Lusamine exclaimed.
Red Genesect shook it off. "I'm getting real tired of your shenaningans." He said as his cannon lit up. "Not only did you hurt Maria Jr… but you hurt FAMILY. That is… UNFORGIVABLE!" He yelled and unleashed Techno Blast as Lusamine tried to block it with her own attack… but the Techno Blast was pushing it back as Lusamine's eyes widened… and then it engulfed her as she screamed in agony.
"NO!" Lillie screamed and ran towards her.
"No, don't!" Guzma exclaimed as Genesect stopped firing while Lusamine stood there, motionless as she looked over at Lillie as she extended her hand over to her, painfully smiling.
"Lillie… when did… you become… so… beautiful…?" She asked before fading away, as her Pokeballs dropped and a heart simply flew off as Sabrina's family freed themselves.
End BGM
"Mother…" Lillie whispered as she fell on her knees, tears running down her cheeks.
"Lillie…" Sabrina looked at her in sadness. "I'm sorry…"
BGM: With You (Future Diary/Mirai Nikki)
"It's not your fault…" Lillie sobbed. "She did this to herself… I tried to reason with her… but all it did was cause her to be who she really was…" She sniffed. "She shouldn't have… done… that… if only she had listened to… what you said then she wouldn't have… d-died…"
They stood there for a good minute, watching Lillie cry as Lusamine's Pokemon cried with her as Lunala flew over and hovered above Lillie, looking at her in sympathy as Sabrina finally moved and hugged her.
"Lillie…" Moon quietly said… and suddenly they heard something as several Nihilego approached.
End BGM
"Oh great, way to ruin the moment!" Guzma exclaimed.
Lunala gave a loud screech, taking them all out of the Ultra World.
"Wh-whoa…!" Guzma exclaimed as he looked around. "Okay, that was… disorienting."
Lunala flew down and gently wiped Lillie's tears away.
"Th-thank you… Nebby… no… Lunala…" She sniffed.
"Lillie… what are you going to do now that… you know…?" Hapu asked.
Lillie clenched her fists. "I'm going to take care of… my mother's Pokemon… and… go with… Sabrina and her family…"
Hapu nodded. "They do seem like interesting folk. I won't stop you." She said and walked away. "Come on, Mudsdale… let's give her some privacy."
"Muds." Mudsdale nodded as Hapu climbed up and they both walked down the stairs.
"Meh, I don't do mushy stuff like this." Guzma walked off. "Alola or… whatever."
Lillie sniffed and then wiped her tears as she went to the side and proceeded to do something while Sabrina was sitting on the top of the stairs, sighing. "Am I really too trusting? I… didn't think it'd end like that…"
"It's not your fault." Riku said, walking over to her. "I thought she was going to change for the better besides being a Heartless. I think we all thought that."
Sabrina sighed. "Yeah… I just wish she didn't do that…" She muttered and looked over at Isaac. "Hey, how you feeling?"
"Had the wind knocked out of me, but I think I'm alright." Isaac said.
Lillie was done, as she had made a makeshift grave and had some flowers covering it. "There… it's done…"
"Clefable…" Clefable muttered.
"I know…" Lillie sighed.
Lunala gently nudged Moon.
"Hmm?" Moon looked at her. "What's up?"
"I think she wants to go with you…" Lillie told her.
"You think so? But she's yours. You raised it."
"I know… but she wants to be on your team…"
Moon looked at Lunala. "Is this true?"
Lunala nodded.
"Alright." Moon nodded and pulled out Incineroar's Pokeball. "Then let's do-"
"No… I don't want you to battle…" Lillie said.
"Hmm? Why not? Usually that's how it goes with Legendary Pokemon in the past."
"I know… but for my sake… after what I'm going through right now… please… don't battle to weaken her…"
Moon sighed. "Alright." She said and then pulled out the Master Ball. "I suppose I can use this."
Lunala put the Master Ball to the side and pointed to her bag.
"Oh, you want something else?" She asked as she reached in her bag and the first ball to come out was a Dusk Ball. "You want to go in this?"
Lunala nodded as Moon tossed the ball as the ball gently hit Lunala, as it sucked her into the ball… and three shakes later, there was a click.
"Huh, how about that." Moon quietly said.
"Hmph… isn't that something?" A voice asked as they saw Nanu who saw the whole thing. "Not every day you see a Pokemon willingly go inside a Pokeball." He said. "Now, you've done all your trials and there's this whole celebration that you face all four Kahunas… but since we have a Pokemon League for the first time this year, I suppose I can take you to Mount Lanakilla. Whenever you're ready to go…"
Moon nodded. "I am, and I'm sure the others are too."
"Great… now let's go." Nanu said as they walked down the stairs as Sabrina stayed behind and looked at the grave with Lillie.
"This is all my fault…" Lillie muttered.
"I feel like it's mine…" Sabrina sighed. "Sure, I gave into my anger and tried to take her down last night, but… I tried to reason with her and I knew some of my friends would point her in the right direction but… it got her killed… and I did nothing to stop her from dying…"
"It's not your fault… she did this to herself… but… I think it's my fault…"
Sabrina turned around. "Somehow… I think I'm the one at fault…" She said and walked away as Lillie didn't look at her, but sighed in sadness, looking at the grave.
"Mother… I love you…" She said quietly. "I love you with the bottom of my heart, even if you did those terrible things… I wish you were here…" She said and then turned around. "Alola, mother…" She walked off, unaware of Lusamine's spirit emerging from the makeshift grave as she smiled sweetly at her daughter.
"Take care… sweetheart." She said. "Alola…" She smiled and then disappearing.
Omake
"That's right! All I need to exist in my world are the things that I want to have with me!" During her speech, Lusamine was getting covered by some yellow slime-looking thing. And as soon as she was completely covered, she looked quite monstrous. "Everything else is just a bother to me!"
"W-what happened to my mother?!" Lillie screamed in horror.
"And why does she look like Venom from Spider-Man?" Sabrina asked.
"That would be the Scream symbiote, one of the symbiote spawns of the Venom symbiote." Deadpool explained. "And we all know a symbiote's weakness!" At that, everyone took out bells, instruments, microphones, and any other thing that can make a loud sound and used them on Lusamine, separating her from the Scream symbiote and knocking her out.
"Guess that's the end of that."
Sorry about the wait, I didn't think a simple Pokemon chapter would take this long...
Oh well!
