Elio's mother was busy sweeping the front porch when she noticed something not too out of the ordinary. Her son was approaching with the Mew in the evening. "Hello, what are you doing to..."

As Elio's mother noticed the Mew's color and her son glaring in a soulless stare, she knew something was wrong.

She thought to herself as she signaled the Meowth to get ready as she rushed to get a certain dusk ball. "Please don't make me do this." As she rushed out, she saw the Mew sharing the same soulless stare as she tossed a dusk ball with a smiley face sticker.

Elio was struggling not to point as a cackling Gengar with a stone on its belly emerged, he looked at Elio with a twisted frown as his trainer whispered. "Otto... do you see what is wrong with..." The Gengar immediately prepared a shadow ball as the Mew let loose a distorted shriek and charged a corrupted psycho boost to aim at the woman.

Elio's mother shouted. "MEOWTH NOW!" The Meowth rushed to the Mew and clapped in front of it, causing a flinch as the Gengar shot a shadow ball at the Mew.

The Mew took the damage and was unfazed until a professor noticed something was wrong and shouted. "Lycanroc, use accelerock!"

The sun variant of Lycanroc smashed at the Mew in high speeds while it was dazed.

The Mew took Elio and hovered him in between itself and their pokemon. Elio's mother looked in anger. "Oh you are not using my boy as a shield! Otto focus on attacking the Mew, you know how you get around." The Mew had Elio's body position at where the Gengar was until it realized he wasn't there. Under a tree the Gengar cackled and shrieked as he let loose three shadow balls to pelt the Mew, it felt the damage and shrieked louder as it used a corrupted psycho boost to obliterate the tree. The Gengar emerged from a shadow next to a mailbox and blew a raspberry as he snarled for the next shadow ball.

As the battle was about to continue, a yellow light descended with a yellow totem like creature appearing to shout. "Tapu Koko!"

As the Mew was shoved by the Tapu, a green light, a pink light and a blue light descended. Tapu Bulu swung its bell like tail to shove the Mew to the ground as Fini began to shoot a dazzling gleam, Lele used her power to pin the Mew down.

It began to thrash wildly and howl as Elio's mother whispered. "Meowth... use hypnosis on that Mew." In a hypnotic wave, the Mew began to fall asleep, despite Elio's sight being nowhere close to the vision, he collapsed.

Elio's mother and Kukui asked what was going on, Lele turned to them in a grim tone and answered as the sun began to set. "The Mew's shadow took over. If either of you have the kids girlfriend on dial, you might want to tell her to go to Lanakila. She needs to bring the Gardevoir with her to keep them contained!"

Elio's mother's normally cheerful tone turned into teeth gritting rage. "What did that Mew do to my boy!?"

Lele shook her head in answer. "Its shadow self intended to use him as a meat puppet to give the order to kill you all." The mother glared as she noticed her Gengar sniffed and pointed toward a distance.

Lele helped translate what the Gengar was saying as she giggled. "That thing didn't just get loose, someone let it out. Seeing where this is going would have been fun if I wasn't so busy with this."

The Gengar howled as it began to dash to the docks, Elio's mother followed and shouted to the professor. "Sorry about this! Tell Lillie what happened!"

For Lillie.

The entire day in itself was mentally exhausting. No one knew who sent the file of XD-002 to her mother, Gladion and Wicke had the entire facility on high alert. Despite Elio voicing his concern, Lillie did not want him to be involved anymore than he needed to be.

As her mind began to drift, she heard her phone ring. "Huh... professor?"

Lillie answered it and asked what happened, in a grim tone Kukui answered. "It's Elio something bad has happened to him. When can you get to Lanakila?!"

Lillie jolted alert and asked. "What happened?!"

Kukui tried to keep himself calm and asked. "That Mew... did it ever look dark purple?"

Lillie's heart is racing in fear as she answered. "When it was a shadow pokemon! What did he do to Elio?!"

The professor answered. "The Tapus would explain more. Do you have Maiden with you?"

Lillie checked for two great balls. "Yes! I will be heading there now!"

Lillie rushed into the manor find Lusamine in a more stable mind set, Wicke patting her on the back as both women noticed.

Lusamine asked trying to get the grief out. "You were heading out a moment ago, what ha..."

Lillie shouted loudly almost in panic. "It's that Mew... it turned into a shadow pokemon again! He hurt Elio and I am going to the Pokemon League to find out what happened!" Lillie rushed out of the house before the two adults were even able to say something; as the Banette tired to follow, the door shut at his face.

The Banette got up and began to stomp before pointing at Lusamine, asking her to get a pokemon out. Wicke noticed what the Banette was trying to say and translated. "I think he want's you to bring out Mismagius."

Lusamine shook her head in questioning. "The two don't get along. Why would he..."

The Banette pointed at the door and began to shout.

Lusamine had an idea of what the Banette was saying "You sensed something wrong and want me to investigate?"

The Banette nodded as he jumped up and down pointing. Lusamine helped finish what she was hearing. "And you want the Mismagius out because she would sense something is wrong?" The Banette nodded and cackled.

Lusamine took out an ultra ball to let her Mismagius out. Immediately the Mismagius sensed something and began to whisper to her trainer.

Lusamine petted and asked. "Does it have anything to do with the Mew? Or why it attacked that boy?"

The Mismagius nodded as she glared at the Banette to whisper something. (You stay put and keep miss Wicke safe. That is something even a bum like you can do.)

The Banette shrugged as it went over to Wicke. "Bane!" (I sensed something dangerous in the big building. Try not to leave a mess!)

Lusamine took a deep breath as she prepared to leave the manor and go toward the facility. "Miss Wicke, would you and the Banette stay and keep the house safe for a bit? It won't take long."

She and her Mismagius went to the central building. As the two went down elevator, the Mismagius glared downward and whispered in a dark tone. "Magius."

The trainer noticed and asked. "You want me to be ready when you sense something?"

The Mismagius nodded as the Aether president descended to the labs, she prepared an ultra ball containing her Clefable in preparation. The Mismagius saw an employee and pointed. Lusamine kept a smile as she looked at what was strange, nothing looked odd about the employee save for some bandages around his head.

The employee noticed and announced her. "Ah, Miss president. What are you doing out this evening?"

Lusamine kept a smile and answered. "I was out to investigate something going wrong. What are you doing here? The night shift hasn't started just yet and all employee's were suppose to head home by this hour."

The employee smiled back and answered. "I was helping out with last minute adjustments to the volcanic probe before I left."

The Mismagius shook her head and whispered to Lusamine's ear. The trainer went stoic in response. "Don't lie to me. What are you doing here?"

The employee was about to draw something, the Mismagius noticed and shot a shadow ball. Knocking the two pokeballs out to reveal a Magnezone and a Venusaur.

The employee saw his cover blown and revealed himself to be a man in a dark red, damaged armor like outfit. "I was hoping the Grand Masters gift would be enough to render you." Lusamine tossed out a Clefable in response to the man revealing himself to be working for Ardos.

Lusamine tried to keep her anger on hold as she ordered. "Mismagius, mystical fire that Venusaur, Clefable, lets try a metronome on that Magnezone!"

As the Venusaur prepared to shoot a sleep powder at Lusamine, the Mismagius shot the flame through the powder and into the Venusaur burning both. The Magnezone shot a flash cannon at the Clefable for super effective damage; the Clefable wiggled her finger and caused the ground underneath the Magnezone to erupt in an earth power, knocking it out. The Cipher peon called the Magnezone back and sent out a Chandelure.

Lusamine sighed. "Clefable, use psychic on that Venusaur, Mismagius shadow ball that Chandelure."

The Mismagius shot a shadow ball at the Chandelure for a super effective knock out.

The peon gritted his teeth and ordered. "What are you waiting for, sludge bomb that Clefable!" The Venusaur shot a sludge bomb at the Clefable for super effective damage and was countered by a psychic blast for a k.o. The peon switched his two pokemon for a Bisharp and Victreebel.

Lusamine called her two pokemon back in a whisper. "Mismagius, Clefable, you done well. Bewear, Altaria it is time you show them how wrong it was for him to come here!"

The peon ordered. "Iron head and sunny day!"

The Victreebel set up intense sun light as the Bisharp rammed into the fluffy Bewear.

Lusamine ordered back. "Bewear counter with a hammer arm on the Bisharp, Altaria fire blast." The Bisharp rammed into the Bewear again to make her flinch as the Victreebel joined with a fiery weather ball. The Altaria made quick work of the Victreebel with a fire blast. The peon switched the Victreebel out for a Kadabra, Lusamine switched the Bewear out and prepared to send the Mismagius. "Bewear that is enough. Altaria while the sun is out use fire blast on that Bisharp!" The Altaria inhaled again and let loose an all consuming flame to knock the Bisharp out.

As the Mismagius was sent out, she was greeted to a psychic blast from the Kadabra.

The peon saw that he was low on pokemon and began to shout his next order. "Another time perhaps... Kadabra use teleport!"

The Mismagius gave the Kadabra a mean look, Lusamine glared sharply. "Thank you Mismagius, now finish this fight with a shadow ball!" The Mismagius shot a shadow ball at the Kadabra for a quick knock out.

Lusamine asked in a calm yet piercing tone. "You were the one who sent me that package... why were you stupid enough to stay around?"

The peon smirked at the Lusamine and answered. "For when I had an opportunity. I would make sure the job was done either way. I was giving another duty, to send out a small radio wave to have..."

Lusamine interrupted the man; with a Venusaur using a sleep powder to knock her out, a Victreebel known for being one of the most carnivorous pokemon in existence, a Bisharp that had blades around its body and a Chandelure, she knew the mans intention. "Your back up plan was an assassination attempt? What did that wave signal even do?"

The Cipher peon laughed maniacally. "For when XD-002 was taken from us! Even now he is rampaging across Alola... and that girl left to do something about. I wonder how she will scre..."

Lusamine called her pokemon back as they sensed their trainers intentions. "You two don't need to see this."

She had heard enough of the peon as she calmly approached him with a stoic look and reached her hands around the peons neck. As she had him in her grip she gritted her teeth and shouted. "Do you have any idea what you done to that Mew or that boy!?"

The Cipher peon he spat out the words. "I thought you be glad that those brats would no longer be a... ack!"

Lusamines grip tightened as she snarled. "You have done nothing but hurt and speak ugly filth, stay silent!" As Lusamine was strangling the peon, she did not notice the elevator ascending to pick someone up.

A brown haired woman, in a long yellow, flowery skirt descended moments; she had a snarling Gengar with her and noticed what was going on.

Elio's mother shouted loudly at Lusamine. "DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON!?"

Lusamine was startled as she looked back. "What are you even.."

Elio's mother took out a particular stone and glared at her. "I ask again before I use this, did you have anything to do with my son being taken over by that Mew?!"

Lusamine's eyes widened, her grip became even tighter around the peons neck. "No I have not!"

Elio's mother did not believe the words and asked. "How I know you two aren't in cahoots and your covering yourself up?"

Both women glared at each other; Lusamine answered. "I was investigating something after this man sent something foul to me. Lillie ran off when she heard something happened to her friend."

Elio's mother shook her head. "Tauros crap! You and my son hate each other. From what I heard you tried to hurt him at least two times! You better tell me much more than that before I sic Otto at both of..."

The Gengar cackled as he whispered something. Elio's mother lessened her glare. "Okay, Otto actually believes you... lucky you."

Lusamine asked about the Gengar in question. Elio's mother kept a frown. "Otto came from someone who rescued him from a bad home. I don't let him out unless I know my boy is in danger. Speaking of which, did you let Lillie fly off to the Pokemon League?"

Lusamine answered with the peon gasping for air. "She flew off before I was able to stop her... her Banette sensed something was wrong the moment she left."

Elio's mother forced a smile at what she confirmed and asked. "Think you may want to go find out if she is okay? Least show her that you care about what is going on?"

Lusamine nodded as the peon began to look blue under the helmet. "I will do that as soon as I am done with this... thing! Could you please leave?"

Elio's mother shook her head. "Oh no no no! Go check to see if Lillie is okay! Besides, your thinking way too small for what to do with this man!"

Lusamine's grip lightened in response. "Small, what could someone like you even have planned?"

Elio's mother stepped out of the elevator and began to gesture toward it. "None of your business since we have different taste. Do tell anyone working night shift that they may want to clean up down here in lets say... five minutes?"

Lusamine dropped the Cipher peon and walked toward the elevator, no longer caring for the goons fate.

As the elevator ascended, the peon coughed. "You allow her to lea..."

Elio's mother activated a key stone and shouted. "Otto, mega evolve!"

As Lusamine calmed herself down and refocused on worrying for Lillie, she heard an ungodly roar bellow from the labs down below.

She found an employee preparing himself for the night shift and asked. "I'll be out for a little while. I suggest you get ready to clean up... that, when the noise stops."

The Cipher peon found himself confronting a snarling Mega Gengar, with a glare of murder staring into his soul.

Elio's mother shouted. "Sludge bomb!" The Gengar immediately hacked unsanitary sludge that slammed into the peon and exploded, sending him barreling back to a wall.

The peon tried to use a smoke bomb and dash for an escape, he found himself unable to run with the woman and Gengar glaring. "Shadow tag! If you honestly think you are leaving, then it is time to shock reality back into you!" The Gengar heard the order and crackled a thunderbolt at the peon, as the Gengar twitched he let loose a pulse of murderous thoughts to knock the peon on his knee's.

Elio's mother shouted. "Finish him!"

The Gengar cackled loudly as it generated a shadow ball straight at the peon. In another slam against the wall, the peon laid battered, charred from the electricity, covered in filth and twitching.

The woman approached to see if she would leave, only to find the peon laughing in a taunt. "This would not save hi..."

Elio's mother swiped the belt worth of pokemon from the peon and glared sharply. "Shut up!"

She backed away from the mega Gengars line of fire and shouted. "Otto use thunderbolt at least thirteen times! Then use the last one in combination with shadow ball!"

The peon saw the Gengar crackle electricity and began to shriek loudly; in the first volt, the peon began to feel numb, in the second he felt his vision began to blur, in the third he felt his heart stop. The Gengar roared as he rapidly shot thunderbolt after thunderbolt, no longer caring that the peon was dead by the third bolt. He generated a shadow ball, began to shoot a thunderbolt into it and hurled it at the peon for a shadow thunder ball finisher.

Boom!

As the Gengar prepared to attack more Elio's mother used the key stone to power him down and took out the dusk ball to call him back. "Otto, that is enough!"

As she prepared to leave the facility, she saw an employee descend with a mop and bucket, only to find a charred body rammed into a wall; he saw a woman that realized she took longer than she expected and that she may have went over kill.

The employee was about to throw up as Elio's mother calmed him down. "I should have told her to bring more people down here to clean up. I am sorry you have to see this alone."
