Ethan went back to his house after the chat with Professor Elm. He told his mother that he couldn't make the flight.

"WHY CAN'T YOU GO WITH US TO ALOLA?!" his mother screamed.

"You probably won't believe me if I told ya" Ethan replied.

"What is it?"

"Well cousin James has an emergency and the only available ticket I found was the day before" Ethan lied.

"What's his emergency?" his mother asked.

"It's really personal to him and he needs me to come over ASAP" he lied again.

"Why can't he have your dad or Jimmy go over to help him?" his mom replying.

"He has a bad relationship with those two believe it or not. And it's about his parents. I'm the only one he can really go to right now."

"Will you still be going to Alola?" his mother cried.

"Of course I will. I'll just be a day late" As he finally told the truth.

"Will it actually take 2 days?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Ok, but who will take the other ticket?"

"I gave it to Professor Elm. He seriously looked like he needed a break."

"So he's taking your spot?"

"Yes, but I'll be coming in 1 day later. I promise."

"You promise?"

"Yes, Mom I promise." He ordered his ticket to go to Kanto the day before and also bought another ticket to go to Alola straight from Viridian City.

"Hey, Ethan can I talk to you when Mom goes shopping?" Jimmy asked.

"Umm… sure?" Ethan responded. As soon as their mother left to go grocery shopping the both of them met up in the kitchen.

"I saw through those white lies scrub" Jimmy muttered.

"I'd figure you would listen to the conversation" Ethan responded.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!"

"Maybe…"

"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING?!"

"So you know what I'm doing. So what? What can you do to stop me?" Jimmy threw his brother on the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" Ethan shouted.

Then Jimmy started tearing up.

"Look I know I can't stop you from doing this but be wise about this. Go ahead and do it but don't get caught. If you are you're dead to Mom you know."

"They won't show up until the week is over then they're coming in."

"How long have you planned this?"

"Since I left Elm's place."

"How did you learn to be so believable? You could not even open up your mouth to lie back then"

"Things have changed Jimmy. Anyways who else do I have there except for you? And I know we won't play the friendly game longer than the week."

"If that's final then I suppose it is." Jimmy stormed off while Ethan was left thinking about what just happened.

"He's right. What the hell have I become?" Ethan thought.

Well, shit has just gone down. Finally, things are starting to roll into place. Hopefully, you guys stick to this (even though most people bail out in the beginning).

Regardless, have a great day ~ Bad Luck Andrew

P.S. If you're not having a great day... then have a great rest of the day. :)
