Xiao-Long Temporary Household (Afternoon)

After a few minutes, the Flying Taxi Cab was ready in the garden. "Ah, a job well done." Dominic said, proud of his handiwork.

"Hey, Xiao-Long!" a familiar voice shouted, running toward Dominic.

"Hatsume, glad to see you again!" the trainer said, smiling. "I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been doing?"

"Enough about that!" the pinkette said, pushing her friend out of the way. "Is this what we're taking to I-Island?" she asked, looking at the Flying Taxi cab.

"Yep. I modeled it after something I used in the past." Dominic explained. "And our pilot will be-" He tossed a Poke Ball into the air, releasing Corviknight. The Raven Pokemon landed atop the cab, gripping onto it.

"Are you sure this is safe?" Hatsume asked.

"Don't worry. I made sure to account for every possible disaster." Dominic said, opening the door for the pinkette. "Besides, I'll be riding on Corviknight's back. There's nothing to be afraid of."

"Sounds like fun!" Hatsume said, jumping into the cab.

Dominic closed the door behind her and climbed onto Corviknight. "Alright, to I-Island!" With a loud cry, the Raven Pokemon took flight, lifting the cab off of the ground. In mere moments, a blur of metallic black feathers sped away from the house.

Kalosian Hero: Galarian Stars

I-Island (Afternoon)

Thanks to Corviknight, Dominic and Hatsume made it to the airport without being a second late. "So, how was your first Flying Taxi ride?" Dominic asked, opening the door.

"It was incredible!" Hatsume shouted as she got out of the cab. "I can't believe you have Pokemon trained to operate your babies!"

"Well, Corviknight is a special case." Dominic said, recalling the Raven Pokemon. "Its high intelligence and superb flying ability make it the ideal Pokemon for air travel."

The duo went through customs, forcing Dominic to have the six Poke Balls he had on him inspected. Luckily, nothing came of that and the trainer was allowed to keep his partners with him.

Stepping out of the airport was an almost magical feeling for both UA students, as the island showcased many features and events that were just waiting to be attended by them. "Did you know that there's no limit to how much a person can use their Quirk here?" Hatsume asked.

"Sounds like my kind of place." Dominic said with a smile, being reminded of home. Even the screams were reminiscent of how people behaved in Frame- Wait. "Is that All Might and Midoriya?" Dominic asked aloud, trying to see through a crowd of people.

"Yep, that's them!" Hatsume confirmed, using her Quirk.

"They look like they need help, badly. And there's only one person who can help them badly enough." Dominic proclaimed, running to the crowd. With a deep breath, he shouted the one phrase that always worked in these kinds of situations. "BUZZ, LOOK! AN ALIEN!" The entire crowd looked to where the boy was pointing, buying enough time for him to forcefully drag All Might and Midoriya out.

"Thanks for the save." the greenette said. "I really appreciate the- Wait, Xiao-Long!?"

"In the what you think is flesh." Dominic said with a bow. "So, what are you two doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question!" Midoriya said, surprised to see his classmate all the way here.

"As the winner of the Sports Festival, I got a special invitation to come here." Dominic explained. "They also said I could bring a plus one."

"Who did you pick?" Midoriya asked. His question was answered when Hatsume ran up to All Might, asking him how the Power Braces worked.

"I figured that she's the only person I know who loves tech as much as I do, so I decided to let her tag along with me." Dominic said, smiling at how happy Hatsume looked. "So, where are you and the Jolly Gold Giant headed?"

"We were going to meet up with an old friend of mine." All Might said. "I haven't seen him in years, so I wanted to drop in as a surprise. Would you all like to come along?"

"Absolutely!" Hatsume shouted. Somewhere in space, a satellite fell from orbit due to abnormal sound waves.

"Why not?" Dominic said, shrugging. He had no idea where David Shield was, so he might as well tag along with his classmate.

"Obviously, of course I'll go!" Midoriya said, fascinated by the prospect of meeting one of his idol's friends.

The group was caught off-guard by the sound of something bouncing toward them. "There you are, Uncle!" a blonde girl with glasses called out as she pogo-sticked her way into the muscular man's arms.

"It's so good to see you, Melissa!" All Might said, a genuine smile on his face.

'All Might has a niece?' Dominic wondered. Turning to his right, he could see Midoriya was confused about the situation.

"And Dave? Where's he hiding?" All Might asked the new girl.

"Oh, he's in his lab." Melissa said. "He said he had a breakthrough on something major, something he's been working on for years."

"That's what this is about." All Might said. "So, what's the scoop?"

"He said it's confidential. He won't even tell me what's going on." Melissa said, sounding just a bit disappointed.

"Scientists and their secrets." All Might responded. He then remembered that he wasn't alone. "Ah, Young Midoriya. This is my friend Dave's daughter."

"Nice to meet you all. I'm Melissa Shield." the girl said, holding out her hand.

"Wait. Shield? As in David Shield?" Dominic asked.

"Yeah, he's my dad." Melissa explained.

"So it looks like we're all headed in the same direction. Right, Xiao-Long?" Hatsume said.

"Xiao-Long?" Melissa said. "So you must be Dominic Xiao-Long! My dad's been talking nonstop about you!"

"Ah, well. The price of being awesome." Dominic said. "He's interested in my Pokemon, right?"

"Not just him. People all over the island are curious about them." Melissa explained.

"Looks like Young Xiao-Long made quite the splash here." All Might said, laughing. "His friend is Mei Hatsume, an aspiring inventor in the Support Course at UA."

"Please show me your dad's babies!" Hatsume bluntly asked.

"I think you're looking at one." Dominic joked, grinning. "Don't mind her. She calls inventions babies. It's only weird out of context."

"And I'm Izuku Midoriya." Midoriya introduced. "I'm a first-year student like Xiao-Long and Hatsume. I'm Xiao-Long's classmate in the Hero Course."

"So that explains how you know Uncle Might." Melissa said in realization. "I can't believe I'm meeting someone Uncle Might teaches!"

"Both Xiao-Long and Midoriya will surely grow into great heroes." All Might said, proud.

"So, what Quirks do you both have?" Melissa asked.

"Volcano. I can spew fire, make stones, that kind of thing." Dominic explained, throwing a fireball into the air for demonstration.

"Mine's called Superpower. I can enhance the power of my punches." Midoriya said.

"Your costumes are a bit simplistic." Melissa commented, walking around the two of them.

"Well, I did design mine in less than an hour, so that's to be expected." Dominic said.
