At the house, Elio woke up to find himself alone with just a Rotom Dex and a Mimikyu. He coughed his way into the living to find his mother and a Meowth chatting a conversation. Lillie was in a corner of the couch coughing lightly in her sick blanket with a Banette; the Mew and Mimikyu were looking out the window to Poni Island.

Elio saw a familiar blonde woman sitting on a lonely chair, she was talking about a minor incident that had happened. "It wasn't until that Vigoroth evolved into a Slaking that things settled down. Then I had a call about some Sandiles acting... strange." Lusamine noticed Elio waking up with a Mimikyu at his side and stared confused. "I didn't know you had another Mimikyu."

Elio sighed and coughed. "I slept that long?"

Patricia spoke the bad news. "You missed Burnet having some news of what ever was going on at Poni Island. Lost and Isaac hasn't stopped looking at the place for a whole hour!"

Lillie had an idea. "Some of Lost's friends are on that island... or they were."

Lusamine noticed the Mimikyu at Elio's side acting like she always has; ignoring her entirely and staying with her trainer. "... Where exactly did that Mimikyu come from?"

Elio and Lillie frowned at her; the boy answered. "Since you don't know I'll let that go and tell you, the Lost with me came from the abandoned thrift store. The other at the window came from my dreams and she came with four other pokemon."

Lusamine found the information out there. "Or that Mimikyu has seen yours and copied every detail for your attention! Mimikyu's do a lot for the sake of receiving affe..."

Lillie stopped her with a frown. "Mother... don't, one of the the pokemon from that world was the reason Hau and Gladion had to leave. The others... are gone."

Lusamine was even more clueless. "Wha... what pokemon would be that much of a concern?"

Patricia answered it. "A Slaking... if you even seen it, you probably wouldn't think it is even that!"

Lusamine pressed her fingers on her forehead in annoyance. "If it was from a dream, it probably meant something much more or was altered due to what was..."

Elio finished it for her. "What ever was in my head at the moment! Manny is a lot of things that was in the form he was in, all of them were!"

Lusamine heard the tone and was attempting to stop talking about them. "Mohn and Wicke should be here shortly, then I'll be gone."

Elio walked to the back window where the Mimikyu was staring and asked. "Lost, you want to come to the couch with me? Your feeling rather upset."

The Mimikyu sighed and slumped down as the Mew slowly floated to Lillie; both were depressed as the Mimikyu hissed. The Rotom Dex translated in hesitation. "BZZT! Boss... there is only one left now. BZZT!"

Elio didn't want the Mimikyu alone and picked her up. "Lost your not alone, just enjoy the time you have still."

The boy and his two Mimikyu's went back to the couch, he is holding both tightly; Lusamine asked. "That flu wasn't the only thing that made this week unpleasant?"

Elio sighed. "No, it wasn't, Lost and the others are very dear to me. Even Manny who... didn't even visit because he probably knew what he is."

Lusamine was silent for a moment, she tried to find something to say but thought that any word from her would make it worse, Lillie wanted to break the silence and change the subject. "Elio had Gladion in charge of the house while we were sick. I'll try to explain why you were let in while he is a..."

Liona!

BOOM!

The group were startled by the sound of a Solgaleo, in a few moments a door opened to an exhausted Gladion that was not in the mood to see Lusamine.

The woman coughed politely. "I was going to take my leave as soon as your father and Miss Wicke arrive for a vi..."

Gladion sighed and moved himself away from the door. "I understand that, but now isn't a good time for you to be here! Please leave and wait until the others come here."

Lusamine didn't hesitate to get up and excuse herself. "I'll see you around eventually, do take care!"

Gladion politely held the door open and calmly spoke. "Thank you, I'll be at Aether shortly to discuss something with Miss Wicke!"

Squeee click!

Lillie coughed and asked. "Brother... what happened at Poni Island?"

Gladion sent out his Silvally and requested that the two get off the couch for the moment.

Thump! The teenager laid tired, Silvally grunted. After what felt like a long time, Gladion mustered the energy to ask. "That thing is no longer a threat to Alola, do any of you want to know what happened?"

Elio went to a chair and answered. "Please, because it looked like Manny gave you a bad time!"

Gladion started with what happened. "That Araquanid helped Hau and me get to that beast!"

Lillie and the Mimikyu flinched before Gladion corrected himself. "I am not talking about that Nihilego... though she played a part in things getting out of control. Hau and I fought some odd shade that turned into some..."

Gladion had no idea how to describe it. "It seemed to be a canine related pokemon and the Ultra Beast Xurkitree."

Patricia flinched at the mention. "Shade?!"

Gladion nodded. "It's a humanoid like shade, I fought at least four of them already before that one showed itself."

Patricia backed away with her hands in guard. "I know what that Slaking made that shade into, something out of a game known as Bloodborne. No my son has not played that game, its own beast from it's kin... no pun intended and lot of characters from that game turn into those things!"

Gladion continued. "After we fought... that, Quenclag started to come apart while trying to escort us to the depths."

Elio frowned sharply. "It was Quenclag's time... all alone in the dark of all places."

Gladion asked. "When in that dream of yours has that Araquanid turn into a fire type?"

Lillie knew and answered for Elio. "When Elio was fighting some strange... Volcarona like creature. She was free from the flame when Isaac knocked the ember off. She went back to her true self just to light the way down?"

Silvally nodded, Gladion's stare became stoic. "Bound to her sense of duty to the very end. It was hard for us to leave her like that..."

Lillie asked with tears in her eyes. "You didn't? You and Hau couldn't."

Gladion shook his head in a similar look, the depressed Mimikyu whispered. "Least... she...wasn't...alone."

Gladion's stare worsened and he tried to continue. "Then we went deeper into the dark... you both were right in that the Slaking and Nihilego would fight together, but it wasn't how we expected. Hau and I focused on the Slaking just so it wouldn't use the Nihilego."

Elio guessed what happened. "It wasn't the Slaking who ended up using Krell?"

Gladion nodded. "When the parasite becomes the host. Tyranitar and Vaporeon took care of her... then the abyss claimed her entirely and went back into that Slaking."

Elio flinched and coughed. "That was the reason you called Manny a beast? He turned into something much worse?"

Gladion shivered from remembering the howl. "He stopped looking like a Slaking at that point and was able to knock out even a Mega Tyranitar with ease. I think he had Beast Boost to compliment everything!"

Lillie cringed. "That kind of power... you and Hau beaten that?!" Gladion felt some pride and petted his Silvally. "Solgaleo was down in the abyss and was a back up in case that place proved unstable when that beast was finished."

Elio guessed. "Which was why we heard all that noise outside? Where is Hau?"

Gladion answered while hogging the couch. "He is having a Lucario treated at a pokemon center. Lucario along with several other pokemon were caught in that things power and were... possessed. Hau should be here soon, anything else happened?"

Elio sniffled a no, Lillie sighed. "Kukui and Burnet visited for a while as Elio slept. He woke up when mother visit."

Elio blew into some tissue to add his own word. "I wasn't missing out on much besides... anything else I slept through?"

Patricia thought of it. "Besides all the mess the last few days, not rea..." The woman flinched and checked the calendar. "Shoot! This has gotta stink!"

The two teenagers and child wondered what was wrong, Patricia simply pointed to the calendar on the wall. Elio's eyes widened. "Of all the days to have the thirteenth birthday. Why tomorrow?!"

Lillie knew the bad news. "Unless you get better tomorrow... which any disease isn't predictable like that, your stuck in this house!"

Elio refuses to accept it. "There has to be something to make tomorrow stand out! Is there anything good on tomorrow?"

Patricia thought of one. "There might be a rerun of the Red Fog of Terror... after everything you three been through saying that you need to be old enough to watch it sounds kind of dumb!"

Gladion guessed. "It's about someone having to deal with a super natural fog that spawns monsters?"

Elio remembered. "Something like that, this is another film Nate starred in!"

Gladion doesn't mind the idea, Lillie asked. "When is that going to air?" Patricia answered. "10:pm tomorrow. If Elio is rested enough we can get away with watching that. Lillie should be clear in a day that she can go do stuff!"

Lillie smiled determined at what she planned to do. "If I'm well enough to go out, I'm well enough to see Elio get better! Brother, you done quite a lot during these last few days; at least let me do my part!" Gladion didn't mind it. "You two are the ones who said I can live here, this is nothing."

Elio yawned bored as he was prepared to voice himself. "I know my mom took care of any pokemon Lillie and I have with us. I'm going to let Nathan know what is going to happen during this month!"

Elio took a dusk ball and let out an Aron that was yawning. "Nathan, in a couple days we are going to start your training. You didn't really begin but I know a place you can train up, then we start traveling the region together. You will be an Aggron in no ti... cough hack wheeze!"

Elio was in a coughing fit, his Mimikyu's patted him in the back. The one on the right whispered. "Boss...rest! We...try...later!"

Elio started to breath and agreed. "I'm going to get some rest."

Elio took his Mimikyu's and Aron with him as Gladion heard a crackle from outside. "... That should be the others. Lets get this over with!"

The next morning after an otherwise uneventful day.

Elio woke up to cheer to himself. "Happy thirteenth bir... COUGH HACK!" Elio stopped himself as the two Mimikyu's were advising him against over doing himself.

Elio was breathing again until he heard a door open, Lillie came in with what smells like four freshly baked Grepa berry muffins and two figy berry muffins. "Happy birthday Elio!" The boy blushed as Lillie joined him on the bed, both were enjoying the sweet and tangy muffins.

The Mimikyu's were enjoying the spicy muffins; all four were enjoying themselves until Lillie asked. "Your mom helped me bake these, the whole house is enjoying them."

Elio swallowed and smiled at an idea. "We should try new recipes soon... make the house life more welcome."

Creek!

Elio and Lillie noticed Gladion coming in, looking a bit pale and tired. Lillie noticed. "Brother, is something wrong?"

Gladion was sounding congested. "N..sniff! Nothing, just had a bad night."

Lillie was puffing up her cheeks, refusing to believe his denile. Elio saw the signs. "Gladion... you might want to lay down! You been around Lillie and me more often, yesterday being inte..."

Gladion posed, his arms are shaking as he glared in refusal. "Thanks but I don't need... cough!"

Gladion coughed, stubbornly he tried to finish. "I don't need yo... HACK COUGH!"

The cough was even worse, Lillie got off the bed to pat her brother on the back as Elio brushed the crumbs off. "Lost... both of you, we are moving to the couch! Gladion... you rest here!"

Gladion glared in protest, he is feeling chills and was struggling to stand; Lillie lowered her brother to the bed.

Elio asked. "Lillie you know where Little Horn's ball is?"

The girl nodded as she saw her brother shivering, she flashed a timer ball and let out an Audino. Lillie felt Gladion's forehead as the Audino used his feelers. "Oh my... Medic has Gladion come down with..."

The Audino nodded, Lillie stared sharply at Elio. "His ball is near the P.C underneath the desk!"

The boy prepared as he asked. "Is Isaac well enough? If not Gladion can borrow him or either Lost!"

Gladion glared. "Yo...you can't be ser... hack!"

The Mimikyu on the right asked the one on the left. "Kyu?" (Real me? You want him or should I handle this?)

The Mimikyu on the left hissed. (It really doesn't matter, this kid needs company anyways!) The Mimikyu on the right jumped on the bed without hesitation and nuzzled at Gladion. The teenager blushed even more red from the fever.

In the living room, Elio was requesting to the Hoopa who sensed what was happening. "Sheesh, your less selfish on the wishes than I thought! You got the gem?" Elio searched the kitchen for Haban berry jam, he presented it to Hoopa. "Would a jar of this work for him?"

Hoopa smiled. "It would!"

The ring was summoned, a Gabite exit the ring and saw him in a familiar place; Elio opened the jar of sweet smelling jam. "I request some scales... would you trade them for this?" The Gabite drooled and shed five scales; it took the jar and shoved it's maw to consume the jam before going through the ring again.

With the five scales, Lillie had her Audino out. "Tell Elio to be quick, Gladion's fever is even worse!"

In the bed room, Gladion is protesting. "Lillie, it... it isn't the fever! The instant I show the first sign of being sick you two are doing all this for me on the... cough!"

Gladion was coughing hard as the Mimikyu lowered him down. "Kyu!" (Don't be stubborn, that will actually make it worse!)

The Mimikyu thought of an idea and pointed at one of the pokeball's Gladion has. The teenager glared. (You are considering I have Silvally out?)

The Mimikyu nodded, Lillie understood. "Silvally has always been good to you, him being around will make you feel better!"

Gladion tried to protest, the concerned glares from both caused him to prepare his pokeball in defeat. "... Fine!"

Silvally was let out, it sensed Gladion is sick and leaped on the bed; taking a large portion of it, Gladion didn't seem to mind as the Mimikyu smiled. (See, he will make you feel all comf...)

The Mimikyu noticed something flicker, she ignored it and hissed at the Silvally. (You know your trainer more than anyone. Do you two normally do this?)

Silvally gave a happy bark. (He makes me use a doggie bed, that is the one order I don't obey him for!)

Mimikyu was smug. (Those have to be fu...)

The Silvally noticed pink mist flicker again on the Mimikyu, his cheerful mood faded. (Your... giving that mist.)

The Mimikyu's smug look was still there. "Me... don't..." The mist was getting worse, the Mimikyu's wooden tail was fadding first.

She politely excused herself and leaped off the bed, past Elio's feet who immediately saw the mists. Lillie saw the medicine infused water, took it and the Audino. "I'll give this to Gladion..."

Elio sighed in sorrow. "I'll stop Lost!"

Elio approached the Mimikyu that reached for the door with her tendril like claw, it faded in the mist.

She was ramming into the door in a rather loud hiss, Elio was forming tears. "Lost... please stop!"

The Mimikyu was picked up, she flinched and was hissing a request. "Boss... I... just... need... to...go...out!"

Elio refused as another Mimikyu crawled to the scene, she looked up and saw it. (Of all days...)

The Mimikyu in Elio's arms was shaking. (Why today?! This is suppose to be his happy day.)

Elio soothed the Mimikyu down as he suggested to the other that they go outside together. "Just... lets look at the sun morning. I heard it is really pretty today." The Mimikyu agreed and opened the door, they found a Genesect in sleep mode.

The boy and his Mimikyu sat on the porch in quick speeds as they saw the dream world Mimikyu fading more. To the Mimikyu, the morning sun felt warm; the beach in the distance trickled in its light.

Elio stared sombre, trying to not cry and whispered to both. "I love you all... that is never going to change. You done very well for me, Lost... the one from the dream... do know I will never forget any of you."

The Mimikyu in Elio's arms was relaxing. "Me...love... you...too..."

The Mimikyu at Elio's side whispered. "Just...see...the...sun."

The Mimikyu stared at the bridge leading to the shore, she saw a familiar brown hair woman and a Meowth approaching; the Mimikyu gave a smile until she couldn't feel it anymore.

She whispered to the other as she started to shine in a pink light. "Keep...the...boss...happy...real...me!" Pew! Elio felt the weight in his arms fade, the shape that was a Mimikyu faded.

The boy was trickling tears until his mother rushed to him. "Did Lost..." Elio nodded and went to his mother for a hug, Patricia sighed and hugged him back in silence.

The Meowth frowned with the Mimikyu at the side and meowed. (The last of the five are gone?) The Mimikyu nodded.

Both mother and son walked in to the house with the smaller pokemon following. Patricia saw Lillie leave the room with a worried frown and a Mew that was in her arms. "...Is now a good time to tell you the news?"

Patricia wondered herself until Elio wiped his eyes. "It is... Gladion caught our flu!"

Lillie requested that Elio joins her on the couch to discuss things with Patricia. In the living room, Lillie spoke what is to be done. "Gladion would like to be alone save for basic entertainment and Pete for making him feel comfortable. Elio do you mind having Rotom Dex help?"

Elio shook his head. "No, if Lost want's to help him she is free to do so! I doubt he want's anyone to visit... SO I'm going to have to wear the face mask and tell the news!"

Patricia understood perfectly and spoke her piece. "Since your letting him use the bed, this means your using the couch..."

Elio agreed. "This means the birthday plan is gone save for that movie... unless the movie itself isn't that scary." Patricia smiled. "You probably seen scarier things, I doubt you would be scared of this."

Lillie asked. "Elio, when my brother wakes up... you are to ask him if there is anything he needs your help in!"

Elio tensed up, coughed and turned on the T.V to show the news. "This isn't even the least we can do. Maybe later we can do something together again."

Click!

The group saw Hau rushing in, ridiculously healthy with a get well soon card and has a Komola clinging on his back. "Gladion said he got sick, just give me the gear and I'll help taking care of him!"
