Aether House
The Louds and their Alola friends have just entered Tapu Village where Lincoln's next Island Trial was located; they also notice that parts of the area looked like they sustained a good amount of damage.
"Here's Tapu Village." said Lillie.
"Why does part of this place look messed up?" asked Lynn.
"Because a while back, this village was attacked by the Ula'ula Island deity: Tapu Bulu." said Lillie.
"Why would it do that?" asked Lincoln.
"Because the Thrifty Megamart where your Island Trial is at was built on top of sacred ground and it infuritated him." said Lillie.
"I remember when me and Lincoln's sister, Lana, didn't like it when someone was going to build a mustard factory on top of a pond that some fish friends of hers were living." said Lynn.
"Yeah, she sabotaged a bulldozer and dressed up as a mud monster to try and stop the construction project." said Lincoln. "But things worked out for her in the end."
"So, where's the Pokemon Center?" asked Shelby. Lillie points to one that was nearby; everyone heads over to it and go inside. They all hand their Pokemon over to the nurse and most of them go to the cafeteria for something to eat. Lillie then starts to head towards the front entrance.
"Where are you going, Lillie?" asked Shiloh.
"I'm going to go to the Aether House." said Lillie.
"What's that?" asked Lincoln.
"It's a facility run by the Aether Foundation that takes in orphaned human children and Pokemon." said Lillie.
"That's nice of your mother to make a place like that." said Alola Lana.
"It sure is." said Shelby.
"I'll see you all a little later." said Lillie. She then exits the Pokemon Center and begins walking towards Route 15 where the Aether House was located.
Meanwhile, at Akala Island, Chandler was on Route 4, looking at a wild Lillipup; he takes a pokeball out of his waist.
"Let's go, Roggenrola!" said Chandler, throwing Roggenrola's pokeball and releasing him. The Lillipup charges at Roggenrola and tackles him but not dealing much damage. "Roggenrola, use Rock Blast!" Roggenrola forms four orange rocks in front of him and launches them at Roggenrola, hitting it. Lillipup leaps at Roggenrola and bites him, dealing damage.
"Roggenrola, use Headbutt!" said Chandler. Roggenrola leaps at Lillipup and rams it, dealing damage, and making it flinch. "Now use Tackle!" Roggenrola rams Lillipup and knocks it to the ground. Chandler takes out an empty pokeball and throws it at Lillipup, hitting it, and sucking it in; the pokeball wiggled a few times until it clicked. Lillipup's pokeball vanishes and gets transported to the Poke Pelago. "I'll just have that one dig up stuff I could sell." He turned towards Roggenrola. "Come on, Roggenrola; we got some training to do." Chandler then begins looking for more wild Pokemon to battle.
Back on Ula'ula Island, Lillie arrived at a large white building where several young kids and Pokemon were playing around; the children then see Lillie and run over to greet her.
"Alola, Ms. Lillie." a young girl said.
"We're so glad you came to visit." said a small boy.
"Are you all being good?" asked Lillie.
"They are." a voice calls out from the Aether House's entrance; Lillie looks to see the girl who was at the library in Malie City walking towards her with an Oranguru and a Pokemon that looked like it wearing a crude, grayish-brown, Pikachu costume with a branch for a tail.
"Alola, Acerola." Lillie said to the girl now identified as Acerola.
"What brings you here, Ms. Lillie?" asked Acerola.
"Just came to check in on everyone." said Lillie.
"Don't worry." said Acerola. "I'm helping Headmaster Oranguru look after the kids here."
"That's good to know." said Lillie. She then enters the Aether House's lobby where there was a front desk, along with a large play area for the children to enjoy.
"Acerola, can we have a tea party?" a young girl asked Acerola.
"That sounds like fun." said Lillie.
"Yeah, but none of the boys here want to be a butler." another girl said with a pout.
"Wish there was a boy who would?" asked another girl. Lillie thinks back to her friends back at the Pokemon Center.
"I'm travelling with some boys right now." said Lillie.
"Do you think one of them would be a butler?" asked Acerola.
"I'll go and ask." said Lillie. "Just give me a few minutes."
"We'll start getting things ready here." said Acerola as she goes into a kitchen area to get some food and tea ready.
Five minutes later, Lillie returns to the Pokemon Center where her friends were getting their Pokemon back.
"Alola, everyone." said Lillie.
"Alola, Lillie." said Mallow.
"How's the Aether House doing?" asked Alola Lana.
"Well, I need one of the boys' help with something." Lillie said.
"What did you need?" asked Shane.
"Well, some of the girls want to have a tea party, and they want a boy to act as a butler." said Lillie. The boys look at each other with uncertain expressions on their faces.
"Lincoln can do that." Lynn said as she shoves her white-haired brother forward.
"What?!" Lincoln replied.
"You've done butlering for Lola's tea parties." said Lynn.
"Yeah, because she blackmailed me." said Lincoln with a frown.
"Please, Lincoln." said Lillie.
"Well, I guess I could." said Lincoln.
"Really?" Lillie replied.
"Sure; I'm doing this for kids who lost their parents and don't really have a lot." said Lincoln.
"That's so sweet of you, Lincoln." Mallow said as she looks at the white-haired Loud with adoration.
"Thank you so much." said Lillie. "I think we have a butler outfit for you to wear."
"I'll bet you'll look really handsome in it." said Mallow with a smile, making Lincoln smile and blush.
"Well, when you put it that way, I guess I could wear it." said Lincoln.
"Can I attend?" asked Shelby.
"I wouldn't mind joining in also." said Alola Lana.
"The more, the merrier." said Lillie.
"Well, if I get to see Lincoln in a cute butler outfit, then I wouldn't mind attending." said Mallow with a small laugh, making Lincoln blush some more.
"Let's go then." said Lillie as most of the girls, and Lincoln, start heading for the Aether House.
"Go on ahead without me." said Lynn. "I really want to focus on training my Pokemon for the Pokemon Battle Royale Tournament."
"We'll keep you company, cuz." said Shane.
"I wanna train my Pokemon also." said Shiloh.
"Yeah, I'm not much for tea parties." said Kiawe.
"Me, neither." said Sophocles.
Thirty minutes later at the Aether House, the girls were sitting at a long table where several cakes and pastries were set out.
"You did a great job getting everything ready, Acerola." Lillie said.
"Thank you, Ms. Lillie." said Acerola.
"Everything looks so good." said Alola Lana.
"I'll say." said Mallow.
"So, who did you get for a butler?" asked Acerola.
"I'll show you." said Lillie as she picks up a small bell and rings it. "Oh, Linkington."
"Linkington?" Acerola replied.
"That's his butler name." Lillie explained. "His real name is actually Lincoln Loud."
"What's he like?" asked Acerola. Just then, the door to the kitchen opens, making Acerola look to see Lincoln, dressed in a fancy suit with his hair smoothed back, walking into the dining area while holding a serving tray with a few teapots on it; she blushes at the sight of him.
"You rang?" Lincoln asked.
"Would you pour us some tea?" asked Lillie.
"Of course." said Lincoln as he walks over to the table and begins to pour tea for the girls.
"You look so handsome, Lincoln." Mallow said, making Lincoln blush.
"You're not the only one who thinks so, Mallow." Lillie said as she points over at Acerola who was gawking at Lincoln with a beet red face.
"Well... at least she's not one of those Team Skull girls or Kalani." said Mallow.
Lincoln then reaches Acerola and begins to pour tea for her, giving her a small smile as he does.
"Bah... Bah... Bah..." Acerola said as she looks at Lincoln.
"Are you okay?" asked Lincoln.
"I-I'm fine." said Acerola. "I saw you and your friends in Malie City about a week ago while I was in the library."
"Really?" asked Lincoln.
"Y-Yes." said Acerola.
"Allow me to introduce you, Lincoln." Lillie said. "This is Acerola; she's the Trial Captain at the Thrifty Megamart."
"You're the Trial Captain?" Lincoln replied.
"I am." said Acerola with a blush.
"Just so you know, Lincoln is an Island Challenger." said Lillie. "So, you'll be seeing him soon at your Island Trial."
"I see." said Acerola with a small smile. Lincoln then notices Acerola's Pokemon on her lap.
"What's that Pokemon?" asked Lincoln. His Rotom Phone comes out of his butler jacket and hovers in front of the Pokemon.
"Mimikyu, the Disguise Pokemon. Although it's a quiet, lonely Pokémon, if you try to look at what's under its rag, it will become agitated and resist violently." said Lincoln's Rotom Phone.
"What is that?" asked a girl as she points at Lincoln's Rotom Phone.
"My Rotom Phone." said Lincoln. "It was made when a Pokemon known as a Rotom possessed my old device."
"Wow." another girl said. Lincoln then looks at the Mimikyu image on his Rotom Phone, then the one on Acerola's lap.
"Is that Mimikyu a shiny one?" asked Lincoln.
"Yes." said Acerola. "My Mimikins is quite special."
"Mimikins?" Lincoln replied.
"That's what Acerola named him." said Lillie.
"Where's our tea?!" a girl asked loudly.
"My apologies." Lincoln said as he continues pouring tea for the rest of the girls while Acerola watches him with a goofy smile and blush on her face.
After Lincoln poured tea for everyone, he goes back into the kitchen while the girls ate and drank.
Meanwhile, on Blush Mountain with Lynn, her cousins, Sophocles, and Kiawe; Lynn was training up her Pokemon.
Her Crabrawler learned Dynamic Punch, her Hawlucha learned Feather Dance, her Machamp and Talonflame got stronger, her Passimian learned Double-Edge and Fling, and not only did her Kabuto learn Metal Sound; he froze up and started to glow.
"Kabuto's evolving!" said Shiloh.
"Sweet!" said Lynn. They all watched as Lynn's Kabuto started to change; when he was done, he had a bipedal body with a good layer of brown armor on its body with a gray abdomen, a half-circular head, and on the ends of his arms were scythe blades.
"Cool!" said Shiloh.
"Next time we see Lincoln, we should have him use that Rotom Phone to tell us what he is now." said Lynn. "For now, I'm gonna keep training."
"You got it, cuz." said Shane.
Back at the Aether House, the girls there were enjoying their tea party.
"This tea is good." said Mallow as she takes a sip.
"Thank you." said Acerola. As the girls enjoyed themselves, the sounds of motorcycle engines filled the air. Suddenly, some young boys came running into the Aether House.
"Acerola!" said a boy.
"What's wrong?" asked Acerola.
"No boys, except our butler, are allowed!" shouts a girl.
"Some of those mean Team Skull members showed up." said a boy.
"What are they doing here?!" asked Mallow.
"Their hangout spot is nearby." said Acerola. "They often come here to scare the kids and try taking our Pokemon."
"That's not nice." said Shelby. Suddenly, the front doors burst open and Rapp, Trix, Haze, and the purple-haired Team Skull girl they don't know the name of enter.
"Who's having a party and didn't invite us?" asked Rapp.
"Team Skull doesn't attend parties; we crash them." said the purple-haired girl.
"You tell 'em, Rita." Haze says to the purple-haired girl now identified as Rita.
"Acerola, make them go away!" said a girl.
"Have the butler do it!" said another girl.
"Butler?" Trix replied.
"No, don't!" Mallow said, but another young girl grabbed the bell and rang it; moments later, Lincoln comes out of the kitchen.
"You rang?" asked Lincoln, getting the Team Skull girls' attention.
"CUTIE!" yelled the Team Skull girls as their eyes become hearts, running to Lincoln and hugging him.
"You look so adorable in this suit!" said Rapp as she nuzzles Lincoln's cheek.
"I'll say." said Rita as she hugs Lincoln while nuzzling his chest. Soon, the Team Skull girls were kissing Lincoln's face all over while Mallow and Acerola look with angry expressions and clenched teeth.
"Get off him!" said Acerola.
"Yeah!" shouts Mallow.
"Make us." said Rapp as she gives Lincoln another kiss on the cheek, making his face turn red. Mallow frowns as she grabs a cake off the table and storms over to Rapp; she then takes the bandana off her head, slams the cake onto it, and forcefully puts the bandana back on, smearing cake all over her hair.
"Hey!" shouts Rapp before she grabs an eclair off a plate and smashes it in Mallow's face. Both girls glare at each other as their faces turn red from anger.
"Don't waste perfectly good desserts!" said a young girl.
"She's right." said Acerola. "There has to be a more civilized way of settling this."
"What does Team Skull know about being civilized?!" asked Mallow.
"How about a Pokemon battle?" asked Shelby. "I'll battle one of them, and if I win, they have to leave."
"But if I win, we get to attend your party and have Linky serve only us Team Skull girls." said Rita.
"Sounds good to me." said Haze as she hugs Lincoln while kissing his cheek before Mallow pulls him away and holds him close to her, making Lincoln's face turn red.
Moments later, outside the Aether House, Shelby and Rita were facing each other.
"Don't lose this, Rita!" shouts Haze.
"That's right; I want to spend more time with cutie there." said Trix, pointing at Lincoln. Shelby and Rita each pull a pokeball out of their waist.
"Seel, go!" said Shelby, throwing Seel's pokeball and releasing him.
"Go, Arbok!" said Rita, throwing a pokeball and releasing an Arbok; Rita's Arbok glares at Seel and bared its fangs at him, making Seel tremble. "My Arbok has the Intimidate ability; now your Seel's attack strength is weakened."
"But not his special attack strength; Seel, use Aurora Beam!" said Shelby. Seel fires a multicolored beam of energy from his horn, and it hits Arbok, dealing damage, and weakening its attack strength. "Now your Arbok's attack strength is weakened."
"Big deal; Arbok, use Acid!" said Rita. Arbok sprays a purple liquid out of its mouth, and it hits Seel, dealing damage, and weakening his special defense.
"Seel, use Icy Wind!" said Shelby. Seel releases wind with blue sparkles from his mouth and it hits Arbok, dealing damage.
"Arbok, use Crunch!" said Rita. Arbok lunges at Seel while its fangs glowed white and it bites Seel, dealing damage, and weakening his defense.
"Seel, use Headbutt!" said Shelby. Seel leaps at Arbok and rams his head into it but not dealing much damage due to his attack strength being weakened by Arbok's Intimidate but making Arbok flinch. "Now use Aqua Jet!" Seel becomes surrounded by water; he flies at Arbok and rams it, dealing damage.
"Arbok, use Wrap!" said Rita. Arbok wraps its body around Seel and begins squeezing, dealing more damage than it normally would have due to Seel's weakened defense.
"Seel, use Ice Shard!" said Shelby. Seel fires multiple shards of ice from his mouth and they hit Arbok; it falls to the ground with swirly eyes.
"No!" yelled Rita; Rapp, Trix, and Haze groan in disappointment.
"Way to go, Seel." said Shelby.
"That was great!" said a girl.
"She showed that meanie!" said another girl. Rita frowns before returning Arbok to its pokeball; she walks to Shelby and gives her pokedollars.
"We'll leave; but before we do." said Rita; she runs to Lincoln and kisses him on the cheek, making him blush. Rita then gives Lincoln a piece of paper; he looks at it, revealing a phone number and a message that read 'Give me a call sometimes, cutie.'. Rita, along with Rapp, Trix, and Haze run to their motorcycles; before they rode off, Rapp, Trix, and Haze pull down their bandanas and blow kisses at Lincoln. Mallow catches the kisses, throws them to the ground, and stomps on them, making Rapp, Trix, and Haze glare at her; the Team Skull girls then rode off.
Meanwhile, back on Akala Island, Chandler and Roggenrola were facing a wild Grubbin. After training Roggenrola for a while, Roggenrola learned Mud-Slap and Iron Defense.
"Roggenrola, use Rock Blast!" said Chandler. Roggenrola fires rocks at Grubbin and they hit it, dealing super effective damage. Chandler takes out an empty pokeball and throws it at Grubbin, hitting it, and sucking it in; the pokeball wiggled until it clicked. "Yes! Another Pokemon to dig some stuff up for me at Poke Pelago." Grubbin's pokeball vanishes and gets transported to the Poke Pelago. "You know, Roggenrola; the Pokemon around here are getting too easy for you; I'm taking you to Wela Volcano Park for more training." He returns Roggenrola to its pokeball and begins walking towards Wela Volcano Park. "Soon, I'll win the Alola League, people will see how awesome I am, and Lillie will be the future Mrs. McCann."
Back at Aether House, Mallow, Lillie, Shelby and the girls continued having the tea party with Lincoln serving them.
"Wow, Shelby; you showed that Team Skull bully what you can do." a girl says to Shelby.
"Yeah; it was great beating her." said Shelby.
"Hope she stays away from Lincoln." said Acerola with a huff.
"Yeah." said Mallow.
"I saw that purple-haired girl give him something." said a girl.
"What?" Mallow asked, making Lincoln take out the slip of paper Rita gave him.
"She gave me her phone number." said Lincoln, making Acerola grab it and rip it to shreds. Meanwhile, the Team Skull girls entered the mansion Team Skull was staying in when Rita suddenly got angry.
"What's wrong?" asked Haze.
"Is someone trying to keep my cutie from me?" asked Rapp.
"He's mine, and yes someone is!" said Rita.
"He's mine!" said Rapp.
"No, he's mine!" said Trix.
"In your dreams!" said Haze.
"Sometimes he is." said Trix with a blush on her face, making the other Team Skull girls glare at her.
Back at the Aether House, after Lincoln was done cleaning up after the tea party, he, Mallow, Lillie, Alola Lana, and Shelby were getting ready to head back to the Pokemon Center.
"So, you'll be challenging my Island Trial, Lincoln?" asked Acerola.
"Yeah, I'll do it tomorrow." said Lincoln.
"I can't wait to see you again." said Acerola with a blush, making Lincoln confused; he, Shelby, and their Alola girl friends start heading down Route 15 back to Tapu Village. As they walked, Shelby looks at Lincoln and giggles.
"What's with you?" Lincoln asked her cousin.
"I think Acerola likes you." said Shelby, making Lincoln blush.
"I hope my sisters don't find out." said Lincoln.
Later, at the Pokemon Center, everyone tells each other about their days while Lincoln's family back in Royal Woods was listening in via Lincoln's Rotom Phone.
"I wish i was at that tea party." said Lola with a huff.
"It was, totes, nice of you to be a butler for those girls, Linky." said Leni.
"It sure was, Lincoln." said Rita.
"At least those Team Skull girls didn't wreck the party." said Lori.
"They were more focused on Lincoln." said Shelby, making Lincoln's sisters giggle.
"So, you'll be doing your next Island Trial tomorrow, son?" asked Lynn Sr.
"Yep." said Lincoln.
"Do your best, Lincoln." said Lori.
"I'll bet the Trial Captain, Acerola, can't wait to see Lincoln." said Shelby with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" asked Luan with a grin.
"She likes him." said Shelby, making Lincoln's sisters squeal with delight.
"How do you do it, son?" asked Lynn Sr with a grin.
"He is a nice guy." said Mallow. 'And cute, too.'
"Hey, Lincoln." said Lynn as she takes out her pokeballs and lets the Pokemon inside out of them; Lincoln's eyes widen when he sees Lynn's evolved Kabuto.
"Your Kabuto evolved!" said Lincoln.
"Can you tell us what he is now?" asked Lynn. Lincoln nods before taking out his Rotom Phone and points it at Lynn's newly evolved Kabuto.
"Kabutops, the Shellfish Pokemon, and the evolved form of Kabuto. Its body had begun to change so it could function on land. But it didn't adapt in time and went extinct." said Lincoln's Rotom Phone.
"And this says that he learned Slash after evolving." said Lincoln.
"Considering the blades on his arms that isn't a surprise." said Lynn. Lincoln then tells her all the moves Lynn's Pokemon learned during their training.
"You should all get ready for bed." said Luna. "Bro's gonna need his rest for tomorrow."
"Okay." said Lincoln. After the call ends and everyone was done chatting, they all head to their rooms and go to sleep.
Meanwhile, at the Aether House, in Acerola's room; she was done sewing up something.
"I can't wait to see you again, Lincoln." said Acerola as she holds up her sewing project which was a plush of Lincoln in a butler outfit.
Lincoln has met the Thrifty Megamart Trial Captain and gained another female admirer. What else will happen as the Louds' Alola adventure continues?
