Leaf awoken to a white room with Jade, Wick and Cross waiting for him. "How you feeling Girly Boy?", Jade asked as she gently hugged him. Leaf sigh as he realized that he was in hospital bed.

They were in the medical center in the Aether Paradise. Jade caught Leaf up to speed and Leaf got upset at the fact that he lost his Rotom Phone. "Is my Pokemon okay!? If they killed them, I couldn't live with myself!!"

"Calm down dummy. You're Pokemon are alright. As long as they're on a data, you can summon them with out a phone. Plus, the phone is just a doorway, not a pocket dimension.", Jade said, bopping his head.

Leaf sigh in relief as he started to get out of his bed. Just then, some one bust through the door; "LLLLEEAAFF!" It was Violin; jumping on top of Leaf and shoving her big breasts in his face.

"So... let me get straight... The Treasure of Ruins and Melmetal attack you and destroy your PokeDex and Rotom Phone!? Not to mention they tried to kill you!? Seriously, what the fuck did we do wrong to deserve this!?", Violin snapped as she was reprogram a new Phone and Ded for Leaf. Luckily, as like what Jade said, the data was easy to copy down and could be spread everywhere. Once she finished, a greep light flashed on the Dex.

Of course, The Unova PokeDex was completed already.

Leaf grabbed his new Rotom Phone and PokeDex. He then thank Lunala and return her to the box.

"So... what's the next mission.. or rather, what do we do in Gal.."

"FUCK NO!! NOT UNTIL YOU REST FOR BOOTY MR!!"

Leaf frozen at Violin's snap. However, he could understand why she was pissed. Leaf was still weak from the attack and now knowing an two evil forces are behind something insane, it would be suicide for Leaf to start working again.

"Violin.. I still wanted to help. I can't sit down.", Leaf said, creasing his hand on her cheek. The Professor sigh and said, "Alright... however, it's only going to be one thing!" Violin walked towards a Super Computer in the Lab they were in at Aether Paradise. She turned it on and explained they're next mission;

"Ok... lucky for me, your next mission is completely easy. Starting tomorrow, the Pokemon League Tournament will began. You're goal is just to complete in the tournament and try to get into contact with Galar's Champion Mapple. She hard to get into a meeting with her, but talking to her during the tournament will surely be great for us. We need her to explain the problems going on in Galar's Crown Tundra and she actually has the part of the Legendary Pokemon of Galar. We need her help. However, this time you won't be going alone for this mission."

Just then Velvet and Jade walked in the room.

"These two will accompany with you and compete in the tournament as well. Of course, because of their own reasons, but I know Jade will provide protection for you. Anyway, just try to relax and have fun with the tournament. If you do, you won't have suspicious on you. Anyways, any questions?"

Leaf nodded and said, "I understand everything, but there's is one thing. Were is Cross and will she be joining us?" Violin sigh and said, "She actually outside right now as she stated she can't join the tournament. Her reasoning is unknown." Leaf was surprised. Of course, they couldn't force a girl they just met to join their cause, but still this was an tournament for the ages and nobody would miss an opportunity like this.

"Well, her lost. She seems like a person who's have her own agenda.", Jade said as she patted on Leaf's back. While they talked, Wick listen in on this and was just confused about Cross herself.

Cross sat down and looked out on the ocean outside of the artificial island. "So... why aren't you coming with them to the tournament?", Wick asked as she sat down sat to her.

Cross, not moving her eyes, said softly, "I... I'm.. I'm nothing. I have nothing and I was abandoned by humanity due to me being..." Cross froze as it seems like she was shutting down.

"So, you're a Lesbian right?"

Cross eyes wided and turned towards Wick who was smiling calmly; "I could tell you were abused as a child and was never be able to express your sexuality." Cross nodded and said, "My... family saw me as a plague, a curse. My goal is to show proof that Arceus created Homosexually and Human and Pokemon were meant to have relationships." Wick giggled and said, "Oh sweetheart, you should know that Professor Violin studies are all about that. You shouldn't be alone for this goal. I recommend you join with them and try to help them study Pokemon.

Wick hugged Cross and the young woman snuggle up to her.

It was night and Cent sigh as he sat down on he Champion Throne. He was finished doing the usual with defeating the Elite Four of Alola... so what's taking the challenger so long to show up?

Just then, a blast came out from the elevator and Acerola flew towards the glass floor. Cent quickly summon his Incineroar and the Wrestler Tiger caught Acerola; saving her.

"WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!?", Cent shouted in complete anger as and hooded figure appear. "Hello Cent. How is that island you've been working on? Also, may I see your Meowth? I want to get even with him..."

Cent didn't even know who this guy was, but figured out that he's the new Hooded Man and the leader of Team Rainbow. "Not a fat chan..."

BANG!!

To Cent's horror, the Hooded Man fire a gun at him; hitting him in the shoulder. He cried in pain as the Hooded Man summon his Alolan Meowth. He then pointed his gun at the cat and (*BANG!) blasted a bullet in the Cat's face.

"NOO!! ARE YOU CRAZY!?!?", Cent screamed as he tried to reach out for his Meowth. "Don't worry. He won't die due to modern day science. Now, I'll be taking Olivia with me as she has something I want. Tell Aether Paradise I said hello and I hope you forget about that stupid island."

With that, the Boss left the wounded Cent and his Meowth.

During the next day, Leaf and his group arrive at Lavaridge Town through a I.P. helicopter that Velvet order for them. Violin really didn't trust air travel after what happened to Leaf during his travel from Paldea.

Everyone was there, including Cross who was convinced by Wick to join the tournament. However, Leaf realize something; "Uhh.. Violin.. why is the huge Championship is taking place in a small town?"

"Well, what I could gather, the Pokemon League deicide to held the tournament in a small town this year due to safety and Lavaridge Town fit the bill here. Plus, their stadium is big enough and this town is extremely popular so, yeah."

Leaf was surprised at Violin's knowledge about Hoenn, but being a researcher have it's used. The group arrived at the area and they had to register six Pokemon. They were at least 8 contestants already joining and with the addition of Leaf's group, it would make 12. Of course, each battle will only have one Pokemon and the last one standing gets a chance to move on to the next round.

Once Leaf and his allies finish signing up, they walk out in the area with the rest of the opponents and the host started talking.
