(Fortune Town, Sixth Island | June 28th | 1:00 p.m.)

Crimson considered himself pretty fortune as he arrived at the island. Roulette had handled a few things for him, though he knew it was mostly to cover for a bit of money she was hoarding for herself. He had asked Roulette to join on the trip and they had a chat about a few things with her keeping him updated on what happened while he was out cold. The Wind Wave was now much faster with an engine to match the Seagallop Ferries, meaning if he needed to get between the islands and Kanto is less than a half-hour, it'd be done. Even less, between islands. Crimson had changed to a more casual look retaining the red Alola Shirt, but wearing Beige Chinos, red socks in his Hyperflight sneakers, and his Champion's cape

Misty had to do gym duties much to her ire, Rusty had to deal with planning out his next move with his lovers, and Joe remained in Scarlet City with Sissi to tour the city.

"Roulette, thanks for coming with." Crimson said as they walked off the port.

"Considering how things are, I've never really got to travel with you before." Roulette said. "I'm impressed you handled yourself with Mitsune over the phone."

"Had to give her bits, but not everything." Crimson remarked. "Thanks for helping Cassidy out, your actions allowed her to get the capital to pay me back."

"Now you're just stuck with Cristal. Look, I'm sorry that I failed to notice Lois was backstabbing you. I'll be more watchful on Cristal, but I have to ask about your plans to go Hoenn. You do plan to go?" Roulette remarked.

"Yup. I'll be coming for a soft reset getting new Pokémon there and using the Pokémon I caught away I haven't exactly trained for one reason or another. Amelia offered to go with me…" Crimson said.

"Take her with you. You can have Cristal actually do some work and watch the place." Roulette said. "Considering her ass knows money she can't pay; she could do more than be your fuck buddy and occasional escort."

"Fair point." Crimson remarked.

"Plus, you can expand into Hoenn allowing for Team Black Dragon to have more influence." Roulette said with a grin. "And that's more money for us both."

They arrived at the Pokémon Center and found the lockbox before opening it up to find a file and a diary. Leafing through the diary gave Crimson a bitter pill to swallow.

"Son of a bitch." Crimson snarled. "The good news is this didn't get into Sird's hands…I might have saved us another Mewtwo in the making. But there's possibly more in the making…but it doesn't give any specifics on where, when, or how many."

"This document contains the means to making Berse-"

Crimson snatched and burned it with a grip enhanced by Fire Punch turning it to embers.

"That needs to stay dead with the bastard who made it. Seems while he got them the means to making more Mewtwos…he didn't give them any of the gene. In fact, he told them to complete making the clone and come to him for the gene. Trust me, that gene is dangerous…not only affecting Mewtwo, but it could be used on any Pokémon. I don't want it in my hands at risk for it to be stolen, I don't even want to sell that shit…EVER." Crimson said as Roulette nodded.

He called up Lance to inform him of what he found. To his relief, Lance agreed with him on destroying the means to make the infernal formula but asked for the diary.

"I'll leave it the lockbox. You can get the key from Nurse Joy on Six Island. Ciao." Crimson said before hanging up.

Crimson put the diary back in the lockbox before locking it and going up to the nurse to hand her the key.

"This is to go to Lance Watari of the Kanto Elite Four. Please hold onto this key for me please and give it to Lance when he comes for it." Crimson said as Nurse Joy took it.

"Of course, Mr. Ryuseigan." Nurse Joy said as Crimson and Roulette left.

"By the way, thank you for fixing up Red Bullet." Crimson said sending out Red Bullet out of his capsule.

"No problem…just wanted to improve the durability." Roulette said as they got on.

They rode for Kassai arriving to find students, but not many around given it was summertime. Thus, students were wearing the uniform more casually. As he parked his ride in the parking lot, Roulette presented him with a small present. A Pokémon League Expo Hat…just like Ash's.

"Isn't there only 100 of those?" Crimson said taking it to put on.

"Let's just say someone in the Pokémon League wanted you to have it." Roulette said gently.

Wearing it now was rather ironic, which got a laugh out of Crimson. Crimson returned his bike to his capsule as a motor scooter took what was his spot.

"Nani?" Crimson said as Nani parked her bike and took off her helmet. "Good to see you…"

She had greeted them and walked along into campus with them, catching up. Nani had actually gotten a job working in the school as a swim coach.

"It's a pretty cush job given the class is a short one…given most of these island kids know how to swim. It's the imports I have to focus on." Nani noted. "Have you gotten a bit more muscular?"

"I really should pay attention to my growth." Crimson joked. "But yeah, all the fighting will do that a person. Isn't that Lilo over there with those students?"

"Looks like they're playing dice." Roulette said as Nani's face furrowed.

[Cues: Layo – Ramen Beat]

There was Lilo gathered with a few other students playing dice and clearly gambling cash alongside other items of value. Lilo was shaking the dice.

"Come on, give me an 11." Lilo said to herself.

"LILO!" Nani growled out, storming over.

Spooked, Lilo dropped the dice…landing on an eleven much to the decry of the other students.

"Haha! Yes!" Lilo said taking up the haul.

"Lilo, give me one reason I shouldn't…"

Lilo showed her the amount of money won….among a roll of US bills.

"That's about nearly 300,000 grand in our currency." Dex Bulma stated.

"I thought I bet 30,000." A student said as Nani snatched that roll of money.

"I will not ground you for this." Nani said shoving the roll in her cleavage. "But let me crack you doing it again."

"Or at least if you're going to gamble, wait until you can legally do it at my game corner." Crimson said coming up.

"Crimson! It's been so long." Lilo said excitedly. "Can you help me evolve Stitch?"

Crimson raised an eyebrow as she sent out a Haunter…and he sounded straight up like the alien himself. Crimson did not flinch at the goofy ghost's antics, simply taking his ball and giving her Morticia's ball to trigger the evolution. Stitch was screaming like he was melting, but Crimson just took back Morticia's ball and gave Lilo Sitich's ball back.

"You know him?" One student asked.

"Yeah, we met on the St. Anne. My sister-ACK!"

Nani hauled Lilo off as Crimson and Roulette followed along.

"Hyper Potions, two empty Ultra Balls, Full Heals, several elemental gems, and a pack of Rage Manju." Crimson said eyeing the haul. "Not a bad haul."

"Don't encourage her." Nani snarked. "By the way, why did you come?"

"Your headmistress wanted to see me. Asked me to call her, but I had to come down here on business anyway so…yeah." Crimson said as they entered the main building.

[Music Ends]

Lilo had asked several questions about Crimson's journey in rapid succession as Crimson was answering them best that he could, only to bump into someone.

"Sorry about that…" Crimson said helping her up. "Ashley, right?"

Spinelli would have corrected him, but she was more curious to how he knew her name.

"Yeah…" Spinelli said a bit starstruck. "How do you know my name?"

"Rusty and Joe roll with me…we share stories." Crimson said before finding the door to the headmistress.

They went in to find Sofia talking to a character that Crimson was surprised to see, Maria Calavera. Despite being older, she still had her 'younger body and height' though only a bit thicker. Her silver eyes glimmered a bit in the light. From the outfit and ID badge, he gleaned that she was the school psychologist…and he had mixed feelings about that. Given that she seemed to replace the old psychologist…this was new territory for him.

"Crimson, you've grown up from the quiet sprout you were." Maria said with a chipper smile. "I've heard quite a lot about you from my predecessor, but it seems you're an odd duck, Mr. Ryuseigan, given your personality did a complete 180. Quite the mystery indeed."

"We're glad that you're all right. Especially as I wanted to ask you if you'll do us the honor of welcoming the new imports that will be doing our summer program. I also wanted to ask if you would be willing to teach the first two intro classes. You'll be paid of course…" Sofia said.

"I'm in." Crimson said. "I want to do something for the community before I leave for Hoenn in the near future. How soon are they arriving?"

"Today…they're arriving early. In fact, it's actually very fortunate you woke up…with your bones not broken." Sofia said.

"How the hell did you do that?" Maria asked.

"From one auric to another auric, I got a friend in a high place looking out for me." Crimson said before going for the door. "How soon are they do arrive?"

"Earlier than planned. They're already arriving at the Vermillion International Airport tonight before taking a seaplane to Sevii to which they'll be Seven Island at about less than a half hour. We're not ready, but I'd like to ask you to be our welcome committee. Just keep them distracted for…an hour or two. We'll call you when you're ready." Sofia remarked.

"Can I take Nani with me?" Crimson asked.

"Oh sure…"

"What about what you called me here for?"

"And you can do that by being a part of the welcoming committee. I was going to have Mr. Matsuda do it but he's going to be late given his doctor's appointment. Allison volunteered, but I'm keeping her on a leash for the time being. You'll be paid extra for this…so go. And Ashley, I'll need you to go with them. Your parents on that flight and requested you to be there when you land…mostly your mother." Sofia said as Spinelli groaned.

"I'll hang back." Roulette said, excitedly getting her phone out. "Call up your company to see if we can get some merch for the kiddies."

They all left the headmistress's office as Lilo begged Nani to come. She relented to let her come. Returning to Fortune Town, Crimson let Nani, Lilo, and Spinelli onto the Wind Wave.

"Kayden, we're heading to Seven Island." Crimson remarked.

"Which port? The one at Quest City or Tanoby Town?" Kayden asked.

"City?" Crimson asked.

"Yeah, Quest Town expanded. X Incorporated really got to aiding making Seven Island a capital." Kayden said.

"Tanoby Town, then." Crimson said as Kayden nodded.

(A/N: So far, the ending is coming along, and it was nice to return Lilo and Nani to the screen. Ending things with Crimson helping the next coming of trainers was something I always had in mind.)
