Chapter 31:
The Fabulous Faba
Location: Heahea City
Me and Hau were back in Heahea City and prepared to meet Faba, a member of the still shady in my eyes Aether Foundation.
"You ready?" Professor Kukui asked us. By his side was a blue Pokémon with frills that looked like a skirt. It was basically Popplio, but more angelic.
Brionne (オッヤマリ)
#008
Water Type
Pop Star Pokémon
2'00" (0.6 m)
38.6 lbs (17.5 kg)
It gets excited when it sees a dance it doesn't know. This hard worker practices diligently until it can learn that dance.
Popplio -Lv 17- Brionne
"Alola Professor," I said. "Isn't that the same Brionne that…"
I remembered back to the day I met Litten when Popplio almost drowned me inside a bubble.
"Yep!" he said. "It's the same Popplio! I thought I would train it myself, since you and Hau got Rowlet and Litten after all."
Brionne looked at me and breathed cold air in my face. Thankfully, it didn't freeze me.
"So Brionne can learn Icy Wind. Roto."
"G-g-great," I said. "Now p-p-please do not-t-t use m-m-me as a t-t-target."
"This is Alola!" Hau said. "It will melt by the time we get to the Resort! Come on, time's a wasting!"
Location: Hano Grand Resort
The hotel was as grand inside as outside. Comfy sofas, polite staff and a cosy atmosphere. Waiting for us was Faba.
"So," he said. "You've come at last. A little Fletchling told me you've been helping to stopping Team Skull. I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes the other day."
"Yeah," I said. "What they're doing is not right!" I shouted as to not make my suspicions obvious.
"He will take them down! Roto!" Rotom Dex didn't exactly help.
Faba grinned. "That's great. So, tomorrow I will allow you to come to Aether Paradise."
"Really?!" Hau said. "Elliott this is an opportunity we cannot turn down! Lillie will be-"
I covered Hau's mouth. "Okay I think you've said enough."
"Elliott stop uzzing Block on Hau! Roto!"
"What did you say?" Faba asked.
"Oh," I said. "A Lilligant. Hau's Father has one and it likes to watch battle."
"Really? But I though that your father was a Kahuna that uses Fighting Types. Why would he be using a Lilligant?"
"That's his grandfather," I replied.
"Well, okay. Your boat will be ready first thing tomorrow. I expect you to be there." With that, Faba walked off to the reception.
"Before you ask me what all that was about," I told Hau. "I'll explain over Pyukumuku tossing. It is a bit hard to believe though."
Location: Hano Beach
"Hariyama stop it!" I shouted as Hariyama once again threw Pyukumuku as far as it could go. "This is not a game! You're throwing a living being!"
"Stick to the subject," Hau said. "What is going on?"
"The Aether Foundation, I don't trust them" I explained. "Because… I had a dream."
"A dream?" Hau asked. "About what?"
"Of the Aether Foundation. And… Lillie was running from them. Then the day I met Lillie, which is also the day I met Tapu Koko and Litten, the dreams just stopped. We should watch our backs because you very potentially spilled the beans with Lillie."
"Sorry," he said. "But if something is bothering me, maybe tell me."
"I know that now," I said. "And sorry if I took you by surprise."
"Sorry to change the subject," Hau said. "But what's that glowing in your Bag?"
I opened it to see my Zygarde Cube growing green. "Hey," I said. "It wasn't doing this before."
"You're right, Roto. You've been so busy collecting the Cells."
"Maybe it's ready," Hau said as he threw a Pyukumuku into the sea.
"Well, we'll give Sina and Dexio a call after we've finished our shift," I replied.
"Exciting! Roto! We might get to see a Zygarde! Zzt zzt!"
Location: Heahea City Pokémon Center
"Really?" Sina asked over the PC phone. "That's amazing! Great breakthrough Elliott!"
"Thanks!" I said. "So… where do we meet you?"
"Route 16," said Dexio. "That's on Ula'ula Island."
"Ula'ula is our next stop after Aether Paradise!" Hau said. "Okay, thanks! We will get there when we can!"
Rotom's Move Dex!
Brrr! Elliott got a fazzeful of Icy Wind today. That izz an Ice Type move, so let'zz look at one of thozze!
