It was quiet... really... really quiet in the Loud House.

The neighborhood on Franklin Street were honestly as they couldn't remember the last time the Loud house was so quiet...

Even Mr Grouse couldn't believe how quiet is was as for the first time in forever he didn't have to yell at one of the Loud's to keep it down.

Of course the neighborhood understood why the Loud house was so quiet as it has been several days now since Lincoln Loud, the middle child and only son disappeared.

They also heard but he was all right and that he was staying with staying with a friend of his grandfather but they didn't know the details.

"I wonder what's going on there right now."said Mr Grouse as he was reading the newspaper in his living room looking at the Loud house through the window.

Meanwhile inside the Loud house things were not okay...

Lori took a leave from Fairway inn managed to get permission from her the one who gave her her scholarship in the first place, Coach Niblick to be away from Fairway University for a few weeks.

"I hope you come home twer... Lincoln so I can wish you a proper happy birthday and apologize for everything I've done."said Lori to yourself as she looked at her roommate who was underneath her covers.

Coach Niblick understood why she was feeling under the weather as her brother had disappeared and she told him the family had no idea where he was as their grandfather wouldn't say a thing soul Coach Niblick gave her time off to cool her head.

Leni was mentally beating herself up as she always remembered everyone's birthday and she couldn't believe she forgot Lincoln's birthday of all of the birthdays. She close yourself off in her room trying to figure out how to make it up to Lincoln as soon as she found a way to go to Galar.

'Im so sorry Lincoln for being such a bad sister and not seeing how much you were suffering. I promise I'll find a way to get to that Galar place and find you so I can personally apologize and ask for your forgiveness.' thought Leni from under the covers of her bed.

Luna was in a similar state as like Leni she was one of Lincoln's closest sisters. Luna couldn't believe she forgot her little bro's birthday and then begin recalling the week...hell they put Lincoln through so when she really thought about it she wasn't too surprised that he snapped and ran off the first chance he got.

"I'll find a way to get to Galar to apologize little bro or at least call us so I can apologize through the phone."said Luna to herself as she began to wonder what she was going to say to him.

Luan meanwhile was looking at her party planner wondering how she could have forgot it in Lincoln's birthday party when she always wrote down everyone's birthday party.

"Ohhhhh... I accidentally wrote down Lincoln's name and birthday party with disappearing ink that eventually becomes invisible a few hours later...man I really messed up big time."said Luan as she couldn't believe she inadvertedly pranked herself.

Lynn on the other hand was blaming everything on Lincoln saying it was all his fault and he was overreacting. Lynn was never one to admit when she was in the wrong and was firmly believing that Lincoln was the one at fault not the rest of the family.

'When I find you I'm going to give you such a wedgie it will take several doctors just to remove the underwear!' thought Lynn with anger as she punched the wall to vent her frustration.

Lucy wasn't feeling the same feelings as her roommate as she was feeling extremely guilty. Out of these younger sisters she was with not a doubt the closest as he wanted to rap for her for something she did and he didn't even ask for anything in return.

'I will find a way to get to Galar and apologize to you Lincoln in person!' thought Lucy who was committed to find a way to get to Galar.

The twins for the first time in forever actually agreed on something as they remembered that out of all of their siblings they were the ones who probably pushed Lincoln over the edge!

Lola was the one who kicked him in the shin the day he ran away!

And Lana was certainly not helpless she put the blame on him for something they did to themselves!.

"I'm sorry Lincoln I know I can be a spoiled brat sometimes but please don't abandon us. I miss my pageant coach and my big brother!"said Lola who despite her bratty and blackmailing nature she considered herself one of the closest siblings to Lincoln..

"I know we can be stupid and selfish but please come back one day Lincoln."said Lana as she and Lola hugged each other trying to comfort one another.

Lisa on the other hand was trying to do two things.

One was trying to find a way to get to Galar!

The second was trying to discover more about these mysterious creatures known as Pokemon!

Ever since seeing her grandfather's Melmetal Lisa has been trying to find any information on these Pokémon but as so far found nothing as Pokémon are a close knit secret by a select few in the scientific community.

"I must find a way to go to Galar and learn more about these Pokemon while trying to find Lincoln as hopefully he hasn't removed his tracking chip yet so I can track him once he's in within range."said Lisa to herself not knowing that Lincoln's chip is no longer operational.

Lily on the other hand was holding bun bun and was extremely upset as she missed her big brother.

"Lily miss Incoln"said Lily as she held bun bun tighter.

Lynn Sr meanwhile was taking a break from the restaurant and having his best friend Kotaro to watch it as he needed some time away from his passion to think.

Lynn Sr was mentally blaming himself as he had done the very thing his father had done to him that he vowed never to do to his own children when he became a father..

He ignored Lincoln...

"I'm such a bad Dad."said Lynn Sr as tears and snot fell down his face..

Rita meanwhile was also feeling guilty as she couldn't believe she forgot her baby boy's birthday. Seeing Melmetal again also brought up some late in memories as she long ago thought that Melmetal was just an imaginary friend she made up.

Now she knows that he is real and that there are a bunch out there and Lincoln is most likely with those creatures right now as they speak.

"Lincoln..."said Rita and she blew her nose into a tissue.

As for Lori she was moping around when she suddenly got a text on her phone.

Lori didn't recognize the number and was even more confused by the text.

Get Lily and go outside to the garage where no one can hear you.

If you're wondering who this is just so know I will know if anyone else is in the room so you better not betray my trust.

P.S: Remember when I thought Ronnie Anne was raised by trolls...

Lori's eyes grew wide like saucers as she immediately recognized who was texting her so without saying anything to Leni she walked out of the room and quickly made her way to Lisa and Lily's room.

"What is it eldest female sibling? Can't you see I'm busy!"said Lisa and she was annoyed when people barged into her room without permission.

"Sorry but I'm going to take Lily outside for a while as I think she needs some fresh air."said Lori as she quickly picked up Lily and walked out of the room.

Lisa was going to ask what was going on but since Lori left so easily and quickly she just shrugged her shoulders and went back to work.

"What going on?"asked Lily as Lori walked down the stairs and quickly made her way to the back door of the house which was in the kitchen.

"Lily someone wants to talk to us and I think you're going to be happy to see who it is."said Lori in a baby voice as she walked out of the back door and began making her way to the garage.

Looking around several times to see if she was followed Lori let out a sigh of relief when she realized she wasn't and quickly made her way into the garage making sure the lock all the doors so no one would hear what was going on.

Soon within a minute or two of entering the garage her phone began ringing as someone was asking to video chat with her.

Lori recognize the number as the one who sent her the text earlier and with a lot of hope in her heart she answered the video chat.

Sure enough on the other end of the video chat was none other than.

"LINCOLN!"said Lori and Lily at the same time as the person on the other end of the video chat was their brother Lincoln who ran away to some island off the coast of England called Galar.

"Hey..."said Lincoln as he was scratching the back of his head nervously.

"Where have you literally been. Everyone has been worried sick about you."said Lori as tears of joy fell down her face.

"I could honestly care less after all the BS they put me through after you left for Fairway University."said Lincoln with a scowl on his face.

"But not you Lily you have hardly given me any trouble if any trouble at all."said Lincoln making Lily feel much better as she thought she was being included.

"...So why are you talking to me? I get Lily but why me?"asked Lori as she couldn't help but ask why her brother was talking to her?

"Because Lori unlike the rest of them minus Lily you had a legit reason you forget to wish me happy birthday what with you being at college and all."said Lincoln causing Lori to start crying tears of joy.

"Hey hey don't cry Lori!"said Lincoln with a worried expression.

"These are tears of joy idiot. I'm just so glad you're not mad at me or Lily."said Lori as she started wiping away her tears.

"And about the others because I assume you're going to ask...I don't know... I'm still really angry with them but they are still my family no matter how much...pain they caused me."said Lincoln recalling certain incidents involving pranks, wedgies, and meddling.

"...Yeah I'm no saint when it comes to those...but at least give Leni,Luna, and Lucy a chance to explain themselves since they're crying their eyes out."said Lori who is particularly worried about those three as two of them were quite vulnerable.

"...I guess... I'll tell you what if I win my first gym badge I'll call again and I'll tell you to bring them along so we can talk. I can give them that at least."said Lincoln who felt kind of bad for Leni, Luna, and Lucy.

Leni because of her heart of gold nature which most likely meant she didn't mean to hurt his feelings, Luna because of how close the two of them are, and Lucy because he knows how vulnerable she is on the inside.

"Where are you now?"asked Lori.

"As you probably know by now by talking to Pop-pop I'm in a place called Galar and I'm currently on a road called route three. You guys probably know about Pokemon as well."said Lincoln as Lori went quiet for a minute.

"...Yeah Pop-pop showed us his Pokemon that he calls Melmetal."

"Wow! Pop-pop has a Pokemon too I guess I shouldn't be that surprised!"said Lincoln who was surprised at first but when he really thought about it he shouldn't have been that surprised.

"Yeah I'm really curious about what's going on over there but it seems like you're happy and that's really all that matters."said Lori with a sincere smile..

"You want to see my Pokemon don't you? "asked Lincoln getting a nod from Lori and Lily.

Lincoln called out every Pokemon he had on hand and Lori and Lily looked at them with amazement

"These are my Pokemon Scorbunny, Chewtle, Rookidee, and Metapod."said Lincoln as he introduced his Pokemon in order.

"Wow...just wow "said Lori as Lily tried to reach into the phone to hug the Pokemon but was frowning when she couldn't.

"They look happy and healthy and they look so well with you Lincoln."

"Thanks but I got to get going but I promise to call again and this and next time bring those three as I should really give him the benefit of the doubt since they probably didn't mean to hurt me."said Lincoln as he hung up the phone...

"I hope so too..."said Lori before she looked at Lily.

"Your big brother is really spreading his wings."said Lori as she booped Lily on the nose.

"hehehe."

"He looks like he finally discovered what he's good at."said Lori who was a little bit sad as Lincoln was growing up and spreading his wings without their meddling... without them there to be there for him...

"Well.. nothing I can really do but hope for the best for Lincoln and hopefully help my sisters and brother reconnect with one another and eventually mom and dad."said Lori as she walked out of the garage with Lily not noticing that someone was watching them from the bushes.

"What are you up to Lori?"

Lincoln's Team.Scorbunny [Male]

Moves: tackle, double kick, ember, quick attack.

Chewtle [Male] [Shiny]

Moves: tackle, water gun, bite, protect.

Rookidee [Male]

Moves: peck, leer, power trip, hone claws.

Metapod [Male]

Moves: string shot, harden, tackle.

Hey guys PrimusPilus here with some news.

Now I know I was not going to do a Loud family chapter until Scorbunny evolved but I changed my mind...

Anyway I decided Lincoln should forgive Lori first since Lori had a forgivable excuse as she was away at college and if you ever been to college then you know that the students are always busy...

Lily also gets an excuse since she's too young to really have done any damage as she most likely didn't know any better.

Who else should Lincoln forgive and in what order you guys believe it should be?

Anyway next chapter will be more of an anime based story as Lincoln has his adventure on route three.

What will happen?

Well you'll just have to read the next chapter to find out so until then see you guys next time as the journey continues.
