So what does one do when you become bored of being the Champion of Alola? Find out today. Enjoy!

Chapter 31-Back-up

A month. A whole month has past since Collin became Champion. A whole month since Lillie left for Alola. A whole month since Collin, as he puts it, "started sitting on my ass all day sometimes getting up.", facing new challengers to take the Champion title off him. None have managed to do so, not yet. And if he was honest, he was bored already. The last challenger for two weeks just left and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank fucking Arceus." he said as he left his chair and exited the League. Despite the text messages and emails from Lillie about her time in Kanto and how her mom is, he couldn't help but feel empty inside now that she was gone for who knows how long. Not wanting to waste any more time, he called Charizard and he flew back home to rest for the next two weeks. When he landed just outside his house, there was somebody standing next to it. A shifty looking old man that looked like he was ready to book it any second from now. Collin paid no attention to him and walked past him.

"Psst!" he whispered to Collin as he walked past him. "You Collin Clarkson?" said the old man. It got his attention and he turned to the old man.

"Who wants to know?" he asked.

"No time, just come to the motel on Akala Island." said the old man and he ran off into Hau'oli City. Collin just stood there, wondering what the hell just happened. Then it dawned on him, the old man said his full name. Not many people know his full name, none of them being old men, aside from Professors of course. There was only one other person the old man could be, and it pissed him off if it was who he was thinking of. Getting back on Charizard, he flew away from his home and all the way to the motel on Akala Island. He thanked Charizard as it flew off. He slowly walked up to the door and hesitated for a few seconds.

"Please don't be him please don't be him please don't be him." he said as he slowly opened the door. "Please don't be him please don't be him please don't be-OH FOR FUCK SAKE!" he shouted as he saw who was in the room. "Hello Looker." he said with venom in his voice.

"So you actually came..." said Looker, who was talking to someone else in the room. "I'm actually glad I found you on such short notice."

"Yeah I bet you fucking are." Collin crossed his arms and his toe began to tap, growing more angrier by the second. "So let me guess, you want me to go all over Alola to do YOUR dirty work...AGAIN!?" Looker looked like he was about to speak, but Collin cut him off. "I'm right aren't I? What did I say to you the last time I met you?"

"Stay the hell away from you." said Looker, repeating what Collin told him.

"Yeah, and clearly you didn't listen." The woman next to Looker stood in front of the two to stop anything happening.

"Listen Mr Clarkson." said the woman. "We need your help. I'm Anabel, chief of the International Police, and-"

"Wait...Anabel?" said Collin, cutting her off. "You aren't THE Anabel from Hoenn's Frontier Brain, right?" he asked. Anabel looked confused for a second, before catching on to what he was talking about.

"I'm not that Anabel, it's a long story and we don't have time to go into detail now." she said, brushing off his question. "We have received word from our sources that you have encountered an Ultra Beast, more specific UB-01 Symbiont otherwise known as Nihilego."

"And? What's your point?" asked Collin.

"We have reports of Ultra Beast sightings around Alola. Not many people know how to handle them, they are extremely dangerous that can attack without warning. And yet they need to be protected from harm. You are the only one we can trust to handle the situation." said Looker. "Please Collin, help us take care of the Ultra Beasts." Collin began to pace around the room, thinking of an answer.

"Why should I?" he asked. This caught both Looker and Anabel off guard. "Why should I help you with YOUR jobs? Why should I, someone who isn't police, do police business?" he asked. The two stayed silent, unable to answer him. "I remember back in Sinnoh when you asked me to help you Looker. I said "sure why not." thinking it would be small things. But nope, I had to take down Team Galactic while you played on the fucking slots! Then in Unova, I just got back from saving it from some dickhead with the mentality of a mad king and you had me going all over the place finding the sages. Then, not that long ago in Kalos, you had me go up and down that fucking city looking for someone every damn day. And now you want me to possibly go all over Alola, looking and taking down these alien like Pokemon? Ya can fuck off!" he shouted. Looker and Anabel looked at each other, unable to defend for themselves. It wasn't until Anabel stood up beside him.

"Look, we really need you to help us. There is no one we know that can do it better than you." she said, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Please, help us one last time. We'll make it worth your while." Collin looked away from her, signing and closing his eyes.

"Fine. But this is the last time I help you with anything." he said, still sounding annoyed.

"Thank you Collin." said Looker. "As of now we have yet to get word on any sighting of UB-01, so you should prepare yourself for this." he said. Collin leaned up to the wall and began to think about his task.

"I'll need back up. There is no way in hell I'll be able to take those things down on my own." he said. "And I think I know just the person."

"Is it anyone we know? If so we can call them." said Anabel, getting her phone out.

"No, you don't. The problem is, I have no clue where he is...but I have a fair idea where he might be."

Walking through the rain, Collin was looking around Po Town. The place was almost empty, hardly any life could be seen. It made the place look a lot more depressing than what it already was. He felt that coming here was pointless, until someone appeared behind him.

"What are you doing here?" said the person, making Collin jump out of his skin and turn around to see Plumeria.

"Fuck you scared me Plumeria!" he shouted, shaking himself off as the drops of water fell of his shirt.

"Glad I got something off ya." she said, smirking. "Back to my question, what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Guzma. Any idea where he is?" he asked. Plumeria looked at him with her eyes narrowing.

"Why do you need him?"

"Ugh, some fucking idiots of the International Police want me to find and take down those Ultra Beasts and I need back up." he said. Plumeria looked like she was going to flip.

"Oh no, you're not getting him involved with those Ultra Beasts again!" she shouted.

"Look I know how bad they affected him, but I need his help." he said, almost begging. "He's one of the strongest Trainers I know. Please Plumeria, tell me where he is and I'll make it up to you." Plumeria sighed and looked at him dead in the eyes.

"Okay, I'll tell you were he is IF you actually talk with him and get to know him. For his sake." she said.

"I will. I promise I will. Now where is he?"

"He's at his childhood home on Mele Mele, Route 2." Collin summoned Charizard and hopped onto it's back, just as Plumeria stopped him from leaving. "Be careful. His dad is...something." she said, looking from him.

"I'm sure I can handle it. Thanks Plumeria." He got back on Charizard and flew back to Mele Mele and landed on Route 2. He looked around to see if he could spot the house Plumeria was talking about, however he got no luck. That was the case until he heard the sound of banging coming from one house.

"HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" shouted an old gruff voice.

"Honey leave him alone!" said another old, female sounding voice.

"Listen old man, I don't have to deal with your shit! I'm just packing the rest of my stuff and getting the fuck out!" shouted the voice of Guzma. The next thing he heard was the sound of something steel.

"DON'T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!" shouted the old man.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" shouted the woman. Collin had enough of this and ran into the house. The sight he saw made him sick. There was a big old guy, standing over a woman on the floor, with Guzma lying on the ground. The old man looked up and Collin and his eyes glared at him.

"Who the fuck are you?!" he demanded. Collin kept his cool has he reached for his phone.

"The one who's going to call the police if you don't back the fuck away from my dad." he said, fully unaware what he actually said for a second before it dawned on him. The silence in the room was deadly, not a word or breath was made. Until the old man broke it.

"Heh, so you're the shit that whore popped out." he said with a smirk across his face. That smirk was quickly gone as Collin's fist met his face, knocking him to the ground and out cold.

"Don't talk about my mom like that." he said with a dark voice. He went over to Guzma and picked him up from the ground, slinging his arm across his shoulder and turning to face the woman. "Do yourself a favor, leave him." he said.

"Y-Y-Yes. Thank you!" she said, still unsure if she should move. He and Guzma left the house and the fresh air was a blessing from what happened in there. He let go of Guzma who struggled to stand.

"You alright?" he asked.

"The hell are you doing here boy?" asked Guzma. "How did you even find me? Why are you even here?" he asked.

"Plumeria told me." Guzma just grunted at the fact. "As for why I'm here, I need your help." Guzma looked at Collin like he had three heads.

"You want my help? You want me, Big Bad Guzma, to help you?" he said, laughing. "What am I a pity case?"

"Look just hear me out." said Collin. Guzma nodded slowly and Collin began to explain. "The International Police wants me to deal with some Ultra Beasts that have been spotted in Alola. And I want you to help me take care of them." Guzma's eyes widened at the request and let out a laugh.

"Oh that's a big fucking nope for me. Do you remember what happened in that Ultra Wormhole?" he asked. He didn't wait for Collin to answer. "Why do you even want my help? I thought you wanted nothing to do with me. Not that I blame you." A wave of guilt flowed through Collin after he said that.

"I want you to help me because you're one of the strongest Trainers I know. And I'm being serous here, our first battle and you almost took me down. With your help it will be over before you know it." he said. Guzma grunted for a moment and looked away. "Please Guzma, I'll make it worth your while. Plus, you can talk to me. Father to son." Guzma looked at him with his eyes wide.

"You see me as a father now?" he asked, sounding unsure with a slight bit of hopefulness.

"...it's hard to right now. But help me and talk with me, and we'll see where it goes." said Collin.

"...alright I'll help." said Guzma. "So what's the plan?" he asked. Collin wasn't sure what to do next aside from go back to the motel, but something has been bothering him.

"Thing is, I don't think my current team can handle them. They struggled last time and honestly, they are tired from all the battles ever since I became Champion." he explained. "So they need the rest."

"So what are you going to do?" asked Guzma.

"...I'm going to need some old friends."

"Collin! So glad to hear from you! I heard you became Champion of Alola!" said Professor Oak over the phone.

"Yeah no time to explain Professor, I need a favor." said Collin, with Guzma standing beside him.

"Oh? What's the favor?"

"I need some of my old team. Send me Electivire, Gliscor, Gardevoir, Empoleon, Kelfki..." he said, before taking a heavy sigh. "...and Onslaught." he said, sounding slightly worried.

"...okay." said Professor Oak, sounding a little worried as well. "Must be something big if you want HIM. I'll send them over to Kukui's lab."

"Thanks Professor. I wish I could talk more but this is important. I'll talk to you soon." he said hanging up the phone. Guzma looked at Collin with confusion in his eyes.

"Who the hell is Onslaught?" he asked

"...you'll see. Come on let's get to Kukui's lab." The two walked side by side through Hau'oli City, getting looks from people they past by. "Looks like no one is forgetting Team Skull any time soon." Guzma only grunted at the comment. Collin looked at him and noticed something different. "Your glasses are fixed."

"I had a spare pair." he said. "Look can we just get your team and get going?" Collin shrugged and they continued their way to Kukui's lab. When they got there, Kukui was already standing outside, waiting for them.

"Cousin!" he shouted, greeting Collin. He then turned to Guzma and frowned. "Guzma."

"Kukui." he said with a gruff sounding voice. Collin knew this wasn't the best of times so he decided to make this quick.

"You got the team?" he asked. Kukui checked his pockets and took out six small Poke Balls and handed them to Collin.

"Mind if you show me the team?" he asked, sounding hopeful.

"Sure." He pressed the button on the balls and they grew in his hand. He looked at one ball in particular. "You better behave yourself." he said before throwing all six Poke Balls into the air. Out came Electivire, Gliscor, Gardevoir, Empoleon, Kelfki and Onslaught, better known as Hydreigon. They all looked around, confused about where they are until they saw Collin and rushed towards him. "HOLD IT!" he shouted before they all pushed him down on the ground, hugging him. "GUYS! I CAN'T BREATHE!" he shouted.

"...some team." said Guzma, starring at the Hydreigin.

"It looks powerful." said Kukui, jaw almost hitting the floor. "Glad I didn't face that team in the League." he said. All of Collin's Pokemon got off him, allowing himself to get off from the ground.

"Alright, I guess I should tell you why you are here." he said. "You are hear because you are the best of the best. I need you to help me take down some of the strongest creatures we ever came across. Will you help me?" All his Pokemon cried and nodded at the same time. "Thanks lads and lassies. Return." he said and they all returned to their balls. He strapped them to his now empty belt and was ready to go. "Ready Guzma?"

"Not really, but I got no choice." he said as Collin summoned Charizard and the two got on it's back. They flew off into the sky and headed to Akala Island to begin their first mission.

So this is really short compared to the last chapter and I'm sorry for that, I feel like I'm slowly losing my spark for this fic. But it's close to finishing and I'm not going to stop. But I will be taking my time, possibly two days before a chapter is uploaded. I hope you understand. Anyway, reviews and comments of any nature are welcomed and as always, I'll see you in the next chapter. Cheerio!

Update: Hey everyone! Sorry to have to do this, but I have a bit of bad news. I'm gonna be taking an extended break from the story. I lost the spark of creativity with it and I need time to think of more. I do hope you understand. I shouldn't be gone for long though and if I'm honest, I am glad that I at least got the main plot done, that's more than I thought I could do. I hope to come back as soon as I can with new chapters. Thank you for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter. Cheerio!
