World Tournament Arc Chapter 8: Picking Up The Pieces!
As Lillie joined Burnet and Gladion in a seat, Elio sat alone to think about what happened with the Mew and how he let his friend down. "I raised their hopes."

Elio saw Kiawe about to confront Norman and thought. "What ever these guys do won't be near of a disappointment as I am!"

Kiawe vs Norman.

Norman sent out an Ambipom, Kiawe shouted. "Come Marowak!"

Norman shouted loudly. "AMBIPOM USE ACROBATICS!"

The Kiawe and the Marowak flinched at the loud order as the Ambipom's flying gem glowed and rushed to the Marowak, sending him nearly off his feet and holding onto his bone.

Kiawe shouted to his Marowak. "Use flare blitz to knock that Ambipom out!" The Marowak's club ignited as he rushed into the Ambipom for a knock out.

Norman called the Ambipom back and sent out a Slaking. "KNOCK THAT MAROWAK OUT WITH AN EARTHQUAKE!" The Slaking stomped at the ground and sent the Marowak flying for a k.o!

Kiawe prepared his next pokemon. "Come Darmanitan use flare blitz!" The Darmanitan emerged to the arena to face a loafing Slaking. The Darmanitan rammed the Slaking unto an eject button, forcing him to switch out.

Norman prepared the Slaking's ball and tossed another ball shouted. "STARAPTOR PREPARE AND USE BRAVE BIRD!" The Staraptor flew out and prepared to charge at the Darmanitan like the brave bird he is for a k.o.

Kiawe switched the knocked out Darmanitan out and sent another pokemon. "Come Talonflame!"

The Talonflame emerged as Kiawe shouted. "Charge with a flare blitz!"

The Talonflame ignited a flame as Norton shouted. "AGAIN!"

The Talonflame rammed upward to the Staraptor aflame; the Staraptor crashed downward, directly colliding with the Talonflame and causing both to plummet to the ground.

CRASH!

Talonflame and Staraptor were dazed, k.o!

Kiawe sweated as he called the Talonflame back. "That was an intense dance. Come Salazzle!"

Norman called the Staraptor back. "This battle is not over yet. Go Boufallant!"

The Salazzle and Boufallant stared at each other, Kiawe gave the first order. "Salazzle use nasty plot!"

The Salazzle snickered as Norman ordered. "BOUFALLANT USE EARTHQUAKE!"

The Boufallant stomped at the ground and sent the Salazzle flying for super effective damage, she held on with a focus sash; Kiawe took his chance. "Salazzle take that Boufallant out with sludge bomb!"

The Salazzle hurled a sludge bomb at the Boufallant, quickly knocking him out.

The next pokemon sent out was an Exploud, Kiawe shouted. "Again!" The Salazzle hacked up as the Exploud was about to shout and knocked him out.

Norman cringed at what was happening. "SLAKING WE NEED TO KNOCK THAT SALAZZLE OUT!"

The Slaking entered the battle as Kiawe shouted in fury. "Sludge bomb, this Slaking must not attack!"

The Salazzle shot a sludge bomb at the Slaking, causing him to fall back for a k.o. Norman stared back in refusal to back down and sent out his Sawsbuck. Kiawe inhaled. "Finish this battle with a fire blast!"

The Salazzle ignited her tail and inhaled with her trainer, she hurled an all consuming flame at the Sawsbuck as it attempted to dodge.

Boom! Super effective, Sawsbuck was k.o'd. Norman looked refusing to believe it. "I... lost. Wonderful work!"

Kiawe was panting as he and Norman gave each other a handshake of sportsmanship.

The next two trainers that entered the arena was Plumeria and Fantina.

The ghost type gym leader gave a haunting laugh. "So uh, it shall be that you challenge me? But I shall win! That is what the gym leader of Hearthome does, non?"

Plumeria gave a poisonous smile. "I am going to enjoy this!"

Plumeria vs Fantina

Fantina sent out a Driftblim, Plumeria sent out a Gengar. "Mega evolve and mess em up!"

The Gengar glowed and prepared a shadow ball to quickly knock out the Driftblim.

Fantina gasped at how quick the attack was as she called her Driftblimb back. "That Gengar is too the point? Spiritomb shall see it gone!"

Out came a Spiritomb, Plumeria ordered. "Knock this one out with another shadow ball!"

The Gengar snarled and was about to hurl at the Spirtiomb as Fantina raised her finger arrogantly. "Non non! Spiritomb sucker punch!"

The Spiritomb's many spirits formed into a fist and knocked the Gengar out, causing it to revert back to its normal form.

Plumeria switched the Gengar out and sent the Alolan Muk. "Crunch him up!"

The Muk crunched at the Spiritomb as Fantina cringed in worry. "The switch isn't possible. Spiritomb nasty plot and use shadow ball!" The Spiritomb smirked until a second crunch left a poison, it countered with a shadow ball and was giving a critical crunch for a k.o.

Fantina switched the Spirtiomb for a Dusknoir, Plumeria asked the Muk. "Do I really need to say it?"

The Muk shook a no as he crunched into the Dusknoir again, Fantina ordered. "Dusknoir, scatter the will-o-wisp!"

The Dusknoir tossed an apricot berry into its belly mouth and shot spectral fire out to burn the Muk. The Dusknoir was crunched again for a k.o.

Fantina called the Dusknoir back and sent out a pink Jellicent; she stretched herself in a waltz. "Jellicent, use your marvelous water spout!" The Jellicent shot a geyser out and crashed into the Muk as he countered with a crunch. The Jellicent's cursed body disabled the Muk's crunch.

Plumeria glared as she called the Muk back and shouted. "Scolipede, use rock slide!"

The Scolipede let loose a rock slide to make the Jellicent flinched. Plumeria called the Scolipede back and switched. "Scolipede you done enough. Crobat, get ready to take this Jellicent out!"

The Crobat flew out as she heard the order. "Use brave bird!" The Crobat was shot by a gem boosted shadow ball and rushed into the Jellicent for a k.o.

Fantina sent out a Gengar in excitement. "The Crobat and the others are magnifique, but it will not win you!"

Plumeria shouted. "Use zen headbutt, see if we can't get a flinch!"

The Crobat channeled her will power and rammed into the Gengar, Fantina laughed as the Gengar held on. "That will get you nowhere, Gengar thunderbolt that Crobat out of the air!"

The Gengar shot the Crobat down for a k.o, Plumeria switched the Crobat and shouted. "Salazzle, finish that Gengar off with a dragon pulse!"

The Salazzle emerged to the battle field and shout a beam from her mouth, knocking out the Gengar. Fantina called the Gengar back and sent out her last pokemon, a Mismagius.

Plumeria ordered. "Okay Salazzle, use flamethrower to keep the damage and we should win this!" The Salazzle blew flame as the Mismagius began to calm her mind.

Plumeria posed for the Salazzle to use. "ACID DOWN POUR!"

The Mismagius took the blow and ate a salac berry for more speed.

Fantina smirked. "Now, make it gone with psychic!" The Mismagius glowed and knocked the Salazzle out with a psychic blast. Plumeria switched the knocked out Salazzle back to her Alolan Muk.

Fantina was still determined. "Never give up, never surrender! Share the pain!"

The Mismagius shared pain with the Muk as Plumeria shouted. "Crunch!" The Mismagius was crunched and tossed aside for a k.o.

Fantina was defeated as she barley held her shock of defeat and clapped excitedly. "Your pokemon, they are very strong!" Plumeria shrugged and shook her hand. "Got to be for the bro's and sis's watching! See ya!"

The two challengers left and in came the next two challengers. Guzma and Volkner.

As Guzma looked at Volkner, he saw what Lana was talking about. "You look bored!"

Volkner looked back and took a hopeful breath. "One of you team members tried to use a water/ ground type. It was still far too quick of a win and I seen some of you win close fights. Hope you'll make me remember how fun it is to battle."

Guzma grined as he posed for battle. "Bring it!"

Guzma vs Volkner.

Volkner sent out a Luxray, Guzma sent out a Golisopod. "Mess em up with an aqua jet!"

The Golisopod's orb glowed as it rushed into the intimidating Luxray with a jet of water.

Volkner spoke stoically. "Get it out with a wild charge!" The Luxray charged into the Golisopod, causing him to make an emergency exit.

Guzma took out his next pokemon. "Ariados, get ready for the rest of his electric types." Volkner nodded to the Luxray to paralyze the Ariados with a thunder wave, despite the nerves not acting the Ariados let loose a toxic thread as it was hit with a wild charge.

Volkner sighed. "Least your thinking outside of the box. Luxray use wild charge and don't stop." As the Ariados tried to sucker punch, he was was paralyzed and was knocked out crackling.

Guzma called the Ariados back and sent out his next pokemon. "Pinsir, use earthquake!"

The Pinsir held on to his choice scarf and rushed to the ground to knock the Luxray out.

Volkner saw the thread and sent out his next pokemon. "Rotom lets go!"

A Rotom inhabiting a fan flew into battle wearing a kings rock, he levitated above the thread as Guzma began to prepare. "Pinsir switch out. Masquerain... I need to get a switch."

Guzma sent out a Masquerain and cringed as the Rotom knocked it out with a discharge.

In a frown Guzma switched and shouted. "Scizor, mess em up with a night slash!"

Volkner saw the threat and shouted. "Use air slash to stop that Scizor!"

Despite the intimidating slash, the Scizor's claws glowed dark as he slashed into the Rotom, dealing critical damage. "Use bullet punch and don't let up!" In the first punch the Rotom let loose a discharge and knocked the Scizor out.

Guzma called the him back and tossed another. "Golisopod, lets make a come back!"

As the Golisopod returned to the battle, his life orb glowed and knocked the Rotom out with an aqua jet. Volker's frown began to twitch and shouted more lively. "Jolteon get ready with a thunderbolt!"

Guzma saw the Jolteon holding onto a balloon and above the thread, he shook his head annoyed. "Use another aqua jet to pop that balloon!"

The Jolteon took the damage and fell on the ground, it let loose a thunderbolt to knock the Golisopod out.

Guzma called the Golisopod back and shouted. "Pinsir, let loose earthquake and don't let up!"

As the Pinsir entered the battle, Volkner ordered. "Jolteon use thunderbolt again!" The Jolteon shot a thunderbolt, causing the Pinsir to cringe as he leaped into the ground, causing it to erupt under the Jolteon for a k.o.

Volker called the Jolteon back and sent his next pokemon. "Electrode, come out!" The Electrode was also slowed down as the Pinsir attacked again, knocking the Electrode out. A Raichu was sent out and was knocked out by an earthquake. When the Electivire was sent out the Pinsir finished the fight with another earthquake. As the Pinsir swept Volkner's team, his frown twitched more until he began to laugh at the match.

Guzma laughed with Volkner. "This the type of fight you were looking for?"

Volkner nodded as he started to smile. "This was one of the most fun battles I had in this tournament!" Both shook each others hands as they left the arena.

As Lillie began to calm down from the Mew episode, she saw Clair defeat the gym leader Clemont.

The round ended; Lillie left with Gladion and Burnet, she saw Elio reading the next match up. "Look's like team Alola is reduced to fighting among each other... depending on if anyone can defeat Clair."

Burnet thought about what happened with the Mew and asked. "Anything that happened to the Mew while you were taking care of him? Because I have never seen him act like that."

Lillie answered before Elio. "Isaac had one episode in our trip to Sinnoh, he and a Dusknoir were best friends before..."

Burnet frowned as she listened. "He has a hard time facing everyone after..."

Elio stopped Burnet and answered for her. "There is a little more. One of the ghost at that old mansion was understandably mad at him. There is one pokemon Isaac doesn't even want to face... not after everything that had happened."

Burnet asked what pokemon, Elio shook his head in answer. "That is a little personal. He calls him grand pappy though."

Burnet nodded at the answer. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, those horrible people had the Mew do terrible things."

Elio sighed in disappointment. "I know, not much I can do about this until we get back to Alola. There is something I need to check on before I do something... stupid."

Gladion heard the tone shift and asked. "You mind if we go outside to talk... I'm not mad at you."

Elio gritted his teeth in what to expect. "I knew this was happening... be right back."

The two walked out in preparation for what was about to be said. Gladion saw the disappointment in Elio's face and asked. "That scene was...a minor set back to your project."

Elio nodded in agreement. "Recent memories is as easy as going in awakening it and getting out. Long forgotten ones that someone tries to remember takes way too long for it to be safe. Especially if that demon is haunting Isaac."

Gladion was in thought as he asked. "What is your plan."

Elio frowned toward what he thought was a frown of disappointment. "I will still do the experiment on wiped out memories because that needs to be known. If it works, I would have one more thing to do. Find a way to do something about that demon because that will make everything worse if it isn't gone. Figuring out how is the most puzzling part, sorry that this is going to take a bit longer than we wanted it to."

Much as Elio had feared, he heard a long sigh of disappointment from Gladion. "You are at least trying. It is better we found this out now then later when things go wrong."

Elio nodded with a frown of shame as he prepared to walk back in, Gladion stopped him to pat him on the back. "You have been putting everything on your shoulders, just relax!"

As the duo returned, Lillie asked what was wrong.

Gladion frowned in response. "None if it is good news. If the Mew has problems like... that, then what ever Elio was doing is going to have to be put on hold."

Lillie looked at Elio's mood as it died, she asked her brother. "What did you tell him?"

Elio answered before Gladion had a chance to. "Nothing really. I was excited to solve one problem with in a month and have a bigger one in the way. Sorry that I had you two excited over this let down."

Gladion closed his eyes in an attempt to find something to say. "Focus on the tournament. Nothing is worse for everyone than seeing your like this, if they are not giving up neither should you!"

Elio forced a smile in an attempt to find something to cheer on. "True! Clair needs to be taken down if team Alola has any hope of winning!"
 
World Tournament Arc Chapter 9: Big Stand For Team Alola!
As the next round began, Elio saw Plumeria entering the arena to confront a blue haired woman in a blue cape. The gym leader of Blackthorn Gym and dragon specialist, Clair. Both women glared at each other in preparation for battle.

Plumeria asked. "So what makes you tough enough to reach it up here?"

Clair answered. "I am the world's best dragon type master. I can hold my own even against the elite four of Indigo!"

Plumeria shrugged in mutual feeling. "I beaten the elite four a couples times myself lost to the champ!"

Clair smirked. "Then this should be another good battle!"

Plumeria vs Clair

Plumeria sent out a Gengar ready to mega evolve as Clair gave a sharp glare. "Salamence, get ready!"

As the Salamence's dragon gem began to glow, Plumeria shouted. "Take that Salamence down with ya!"

The Gengar began to cackle a destiny bond as the Salamence used outrage. Both were knocked out as the two trainers called their pokemon out. Plumeria sent out a Toxapex as Clair sent out a Garchomp.

Clair ordered. "Garchomp, use earthquake!" Plumeria switched to Crobat knowing she baited an earthquake.

The Crobat flew over the quake, Clair stared dumbfounded. "This again. Garchomp unleash a duel chop!"

The Garchomp begun to swing into the Crobat as Plumeria shouted. "Mess em up with brave bird!"

The Crobat rammed into the Garchomp and was knocked back, both trainers ordered to do it again; Garchomp was pushed back and knocked the Crobat to her trainer for a k.o.

Plumeria called the Crobat back and sent out her next pokemon. "Scolipede, finsih that Garchomp off with a mega horn!"

The Scolipede rammed the Garchomp back with for a k.o, Clair called the Garchomp back and sent out a Dragonite. "Take it down with outrage!"

Plumeria shouted back. "Scolipede use poison jab!" The Scolipede rammed its head into the Dragonite, inflicting poison and being countered by a raging Dragonite; The Scolipede jabbed again into the Dragonite to push her back and was lunged at.

Swat!

The Scolipede was knocked out and tossed back to her trainer, Plumeria called the Scolipede back and sent out her next pokemon. "Salazzle, finish it off with a dragon pulse!"

As the Salazzle entered the battle, she shot the charging Dragonite back for a k.o. Clair switched the knocked out Dragonite and sent out a Kingdra, both pokemon glaring at their opponents with determination to win. Plumeria posed for the Salazzle to use "ACID DOWNPOUR!"

The Kingdra was engulfed in the poison and took significant damage. Clair shouted calmly. "Kingdra use waterfall and knock that Salazzle out!"

The Kingdra pushed the poisonous liquid away from her and rammed into the Salazzle for a k.o. Plumeria called the Salazzle back, glared and shouted. "Muk, lets keep fighting. Crunch em!"

Clair ordered as she saw the Muk lunge. "Kingdra use rest now!" The Kingdra fell asleep for a full heal and ate a chesto berry to wake herself up. The Muk crunched with its fangs into the Kingdra, her defenses fell as she countered with a waterfall.

Plumeria ordered in response. "Poison jab that Kingdra!"

The Muk uppercut the Kingdra for a k.o.

Clair called the Kingdra back, gritted her teeth and tossed another pokemon. "Druddigon, paralyze that Muk with a glare and keep using dragon claw!"

The Muk was about to use another poison jab as the Druddigon glared at it for a paralysis. The Muk struggled to move as the Druddigon clawed into it two times.

Plumeria knew the fight was not going in her favor and shouted. "Muk, we got to keep fighting this out. Crunch!"

The Muk listened and crunched into the Druddigon's arm, inflicted poison as it was clawed again for a k.o. The third knocked the Muk out, leaving Plumeria to send out Toxapex. "We got it poisoned, mess it up with poison jab!"

The Druddigon heard Clair's order. "Druddigon we got this. Like before with the Muk!"

The Druddigon grunted and paralyzed the Toxapex in a sharp glare, the Toxapex's tentacle glowed and mercilessly swatted at him.

The Druddigon and Toxapex traded blow for blow, Plumeria ordered the Toxapex. "Use recover and we got this!"

The Toxapex tried to focus and its nerves would not let him recover, Clair and the Druddigon saw the chance.

Rake! The Toxapex was k.o'd.

Plumeria sighed in defeat as she gave the dragon trainer a handshake of sportsmanship before leaving. "I heard that you are tough!"

Clair admitted it. "It takes a lot for trainers to beat me. It's was still a fun battle!"

The next two challengers that entered the arena was Kiawe and Guzma.

As Kiawe prepared, Guzma realized. "This might be a problem."

Kiawe understood. "We are still to give it our all."

Kiawe vs Guzma.

"Come Marowak!" As an Marowak entered the arena, Guzma shrugged and shouted. "Golisopod, mess em up!"

The Golisopod began with an aqua jet as Kiawe ordered. "Marowak use shadow bone!"

The Marowak's bone glowed spectral and swung hard as the Golisopod rammed into him. The Marowak was sent back and the Golisopod made an emergency exit. Guzma gritted his teeth as he prepared the ball and tossed his next pokemon. "Pinsir, finish that Marowak off with an earthquake!"

The Pinsir slammed to the ground and knocked the Marowak out, Kiawe switched and shouted. "Come Talonflame use flare blitz!" The Talonflame rushed into the Pinsir in an inferno and sent him back to Guzma ablaze and knocked the Pinsir out.

Guzma called his Pinsir back and sent his Golisopod out. "Knock em out with an aqua jet!"

The Golispod's orb siphoned as he rushed into the Talonflame and sent it flying to the ground for a k.o.

Kiawe called the Talonflame back and sent his next pokemon. "Come Turtonator!"

Guzma shouted the order. "Sucker punch that"

Kiawe ordered the Turonator. "Use overheat!" The Golisopod sucker punched the Turtonator and was knocked out by an over head blast. Guzma called the knocked out Golisopod back and sent a Heracross in preparation for mega evolution.

The Heracross transformed as Guzma nodded. "You know what to do!"

The Heracross aimed at the Turtonator with a rock blast, quickly knocking it out.

Kiawe was seeing himself lower on pokemon as he sent his next pokemon. "Come Darmanitan!"

The Darmanitan entered excited as his trainer ordered. "Use flare blitz and we have this match!" The Heracross was about to aim again as the Darmanitan ignited and rushed into him for a k.o.

The Heracross reverted back in a thud as Guzma called him back. "Shoot. Ariados, get a toxic thread out!"

The Ariados shot the toxic thread all around as the Darmanitan roared with his trainer, knocking the Ariados back a blaze for a k.o. Guzma sent out a Masquirain that intimidated the Darminitan.

Guzma attempted to order. "Knock that thing out with an air slash!"

The Masquirain was about slash the air until he was rammed by the Darmanitan for a k.o.

Guzma sent out his Scizor and ordered. "It did flare blitz so many times, bullet punch that out!"

The Scizor rushed to the Darmanitan in high speeds for a knock out, leaving Kiawe with a Salazzle. "Come Salazzle!"

Guzma shouted in frustration. "Beat it and never let up!"

The Scizor punched the Salazzle again as Kiawe saw what was happening to Guzma. "Salazzle, use fire blast and this is over!" The Salazzle inhaled and shot the Scizor in point blank range for a k.o.

Guzma was banging at his head as he called the Scizor back. "Guzma what is wrong with you!"

He shouted loudly in frustration before calming down to an intimidated Kiawe calling the Salazzle back. "Still, its fun while it lasted. Try not to lose to Clair!"

Kiawe swallowed hard as both left the arena.

As the two skulls found themselves defeated, they were greeted to the Alola champ smiling at them. "Semi finals isn't too bad. Kiawe is our last hope of winning and team Johto has one person."

Kiawe read on who he was going up against and he spoke his mind. "This dance isn't over yet and the Tournament is going to heat up. Is there something wrong, because you had been less festive than usual."

Elio nodded. "Something went wrong, but it has nothing to do with you three, nor this tournament. Do your best."

Kiawe prepared for the final as Plumeria was taking Guzma outside. "I'll make sure he doesn't make too much of a stink about this."

Guzma gritted his teeth. "Just give me something to smash for a couple hours! I'll be fine!"

Plumeria smiled. "There is one place in this region you can do that to and you will get something good out of it, now follow!"

The Final Round.

The spot lights around the arena began to circle around, shining on Kiawe as he entered; dazed from the lights. He approached began to confront the dragon type specialist Clair who embraced the shine.

She stared intensively at Kiawe and waved her cape. "Unleash all you power!"

Kiawe vs Clair.

Clair sent out a Salamence. "Show them!" Kiawe tossed a ball and shouted. "Come Marowak, lets finish this tournament!"

Clair ordered. "Salamence use earthquake until that Marowak is gone!"

The Salamence roared and caused the ground to erupt under the Marowak for super effective damage.

Kiawe ordered. "Marowak, use shadow bone!" Marowak hit the Salamence with a shadow bone and was knocked out by another earthquake.

Kiawe called the Marowawk back and sent out his Salazzle. "Come Salazzle, use sludge bomb!" The Salazzle entered the battle and hacked sludge at the Salamence for a k.o.

Clair sent her next pokemon, determined. "Dragonite, prepare yourself!"

The Dragonite stood mighty as Kiawe ordered the Salazzle. "Shoot a dragon pulse, we can still take that Dragonite down!"

The Salazzle shot at the Dragonite for super effective damage, Clair and the Dragonite stomped at the ground in unison.

The Salazzle was sent flying by an earthquake and was holding on with her sash as Clair shouted. "Now extreme speed!"

The Dragonite disappeared and rammed into the flying Salazzle for a k.o.

The Salazzle fell on Kiawe's feet as he prepared a switch. "Come Talonflame, use brave bird!" The Talonflame rammed into the Dragonite like the brave bird he was and knocked the Dragonite out.

Clair called the Dragonite back and sent her next pokemon. "Go Kingdra!"

The Kingdra entered the battle as the Talonflame used brave bird again, Clair ordered. "Charge with a waterfall!"

The Kingdra rushed into the Talonflame and collided with a rush of water underneath her.

RAM!

The Talonflame collided and was pushed back for a k.o.

Kiawe called the Talonflame and sweated as he sent his next pokemon. "Come Darmanitan use earthquake!"

The Darmanitan entered the battle and saw the Kingdra panting, he and Kiawe flexed, stomped at the ground and roared for an earthquake.

The Kingdra was knocked out; Clair liked the fierce opponent and called the Kingdra back. "Impressive, Garchomp finish this!"

The Garchomp entered the battle as Kiawe shouted. "Super power!"

The Garchomp used a swords dance as she braced herself for the impact. The Garchomp leaped above the Darmanitan in high speeds and slammed him into into the ground for an earthquake k.o.

Kiawe switched and shouted. "Come Arcanine!" The Arcanine roared as he prepared himself. "Extreme speed!"

The Arcanine disappeared and rammed into the Garchomp who countered with an earthquake for a k.o. Kiawe sent out his Turtonator and was about to give an order. The Garchomp used another earthquake and ended the match with one more k.o. Clair panted and petted her Garchomp on a job well done as the spot light focused on her. Kaiwe felt exhausted as he left the arena.

Elio stared at the match from afar."Making to the finals is still something to be proud of."

Lillie snapped him out of the focus and spoke her mind. "Burnet and I are going to the Ferris Wheel... you want to come with us?"

Elio shook his head. "No thank you, I got something to say to Team Alola anyways."

Lillie was disappointed but respected the wish as she gave a warning. "Gladion may be hanging out with Wes and Rui again, so expect a lonely evening if you haven't changed you mind." Elio didn't mind as both took their leave.

He was checking his budget, saw Team Alola congratulating each other and coughed an announcement. "First, you all did good today. Being able to put up a fight like you all did is something to be proud of!"

Mina was yawning in as she saw Plumeria and Guzma come back, the later having a star piece and a bloody fist. "True, what else do we have besides waiting for you now?"

Elio cheered. "Any of you been to the Village Bridge? I got a treat for you all!"
 
World Tournament Arc Chapter 10: A Round of Champs and Mega Evolution!
With in the next few days, the Champion Tournament began. Gladion and Burnet were wishing Lillie good luck when they noticed Elio preparing in the distance.

Lillie sighed as she approached him. "Good luck in the tournament." Elio smiled back. "You too!" Both went to wait for their part in the round.

As the round began, Elio was called to the arena to confront his first opponent, a light blue haired man in a suit, with a front pocket shirt holding a key stone on a pen.

The man introduced himself as Steven as many women are cheering for him. "What has awakened in you through your journey? The battles you fought to get here?"

Elio sensed dread at what he was about to face. "A lot of things that are hard to count. All of it leading to this moment and more!"

Steven smiled as he prepared. "My pokemon and I will respond to that with what we know, now bring it!"

Elio vs Steven

Elio shouted "GLADIATOR COME OUT!"

As Elio sent out the midnight variant of Lycanroc, Steven sent out a Metagross with a particular stone.

Steven activated the stone on the pen. "Metagross mega evolve and use meteor mash!"

The Metagross glowed and had four additional legs, ready to attack. Elio shouted. "GLADIATOR GET READY FOR THE HURT!"

The Lycanroc held on to his sash as it was rammed by the Metagross's meteor mash. Elio shouted. "NOW USE REVERSAL!"

As The Lycanroc held and swatted at the Metagross. Steven ordered back. "Finish him with a bullet punch!"

The Lycanroc was rammed back at high speeds for a k.o, Elio called him back and tossed a quick ball. "LOST GET READY!"

The Mimikyu arrived to battle as Steven shouted. "Again and prepare a meteor mash!" The Metagross punched the Mimikyu and cause the disguise to fall.

Elio shouted. "LOST USE SHADOW CLAW!" The Mimikyu clawed into the Metagross as she was slammed into the floor by a meteor mash for a k.o.

Elio called her backand took out a great ball. "H.P, MAGGIE, GET READY TO MEGA EVOLVE!"

The Kangaskhan saw her opponent as mega energy rushed into the child. "NOW USE FAKE OUT!"

The Kangaskhan duo leaped in front of the battered Metagross and clapped in unison for a knock out.

Elio took a breath of relief as he saw Steven call the Metagross back, Steven saw that spark in him and stared in determination. "Well done, now hit me with everything you got. Aggron lets go!"

Steven sent out an Aggron floating with a balloon, Elio ordered his Kangaskhan. "H.P POP THAT BALLOON WITH CRUNCH, THEN GET READY FOR WHAT IT HAS!"

The Kangaskhan duo bit in unison as the Aggron smashed its head back. Elio shouted as the duo were sent flying. "FINISH IT OFF WITH AN EARTHQUAKE!"

As the Kangaskhan duo slammed into the ground as they land, the Aggron was quickly knocked out by the combine quake.

Steven sent out an Archeops. "Head smash that Kangaskhan out!"

The Archeops slammed it's head into the Kangaskhan for a k.o.

As the duo reverted back, Elio prepared to switch to his next pokemon. "KALDEN, LETS TAKE THIS BIRD OUT!"

The Silvally stood before the Archeops, it was rammed by another head smash as Elio began to shout. "FLASH CANNON!"

The Archeops was shot away from the Silvally knocked out. Steven switched to his next pokemon, an Excadrill.

Elio ordered. "KALDEN USE THE THUM!" The Silvally shouted a flamethrower at the Excadrill as Steven ordered. "Excadrill, use sandstorm and make use of that sand rush!"

The Excadrill blew in a sandstorm and increased his speed, he slammed into the ground and knocked the Silvally out with an earthquake.

Elio called the Silvally back and gritted. "You did good enough. GUPPY, FINISH WITH WITH DARKEST LAIRAT!"

The Incineroar went into the arena with an audience cheering, as he took an earthquake and spun into the Excadrill for a knock out.

Steven sent out his next pokemon. "Armaldo, lets face them!"

Elio saw the Armaldo roaring and shouted to his Incineroar. "FLARE BLITZ!"

The Incineroar rammed into the Armaldo, Steven shouted back. "Counter with super power!" The Armaldo grunted as he took the flame and tossed the Incineroar back with a super powered jab; the Incineroar was knocked out.

Elio gritted his teeth as he called the Incineroar back and sent out his last pokemon. "SURFER TAKE THE ARMALDO OUT!"

An Alolan Raichu with a balloon entered the arena, Elio shouted. "THUNDERBOLT!" As the Raichu heard the order, he charged up his cheeks and knocked the Armaldo out with a thunderbolt.

Steven called the Armaldo back and smiled calmly. "Cradily lets give it our all, use stone edge!"

Elio saw the Cradily and shouted louder at the Raichu. "SURFER USE THUNDER WAVE! THEN GET READY FOR WHAT THAT CRADILY IS ABOUT TO DO!"

Cradily was paralyzed and caused several jagged rocks to form, the Raichu surfed past them as his trainer ordered. "USE NASTY PLOT!"

The Raichu smirked maliciously the Cradily was unable to move and use another stone edge.

Elio ordered with his heart racing. "NOW USE PSYCHIC UNTIL THAT CRADILY GOES DOWN!"

The Raichu smiled and shot a psychic blast into the Cradily, its defenses were down as Steven ordered. "Use seed bomb!"

The Raichu was pelted with seeds and his balloon popped, he shot back again and knocked the Cradily out.

Elio sighed in relief at the narrow victory. "That would have been embarrassing to loose on the first round. Good match!"

Steven approached and shook Elio's hand, his smile turning a bit mellow. "This tells me a lot about you, despite what overwhelming force goes against you, you seek a way to pull through."

Elio blushed, unable to really find much to say as both parted ways.

As the two champions left the arena, the next battle was moments from beginning. Lillie found herself nervous as she approached the arena for the first time. Approaching her was a light black haired, blue eyed woman in a white dress with a key stone around her necklace and a pink bag.

The woman introduced herself. "Oh, hello! I am Diantha, former champion of Kalos. I have been hoping to meet all sorts of pokemon. It fills me with energy with what the future brings."

The words had Lillie concerned about what will happen at home before she stared in determination. "This is just another challenge to over come! Everyone, watch over me!"

Lillie vs Diantha.

Lillie sent out a Venomoth, "Skitters, lets do this!"

Diantha sent out a Gardevoir with a stone on its forehead, she activated the keystone on her necklace and shouted loudly. "Gardevoir, mega evolve and use psychic!"

The Gardevoir glowed and quickly shot the Venomoth down with a psychic blast.

Lillie called the Venomoth back in a frown of worry as she sent out her next pokemon. "Sony, we need to get that Gardevoir down!"

Lillie sent out a Porygon2, Diantha noticed the eviolite and shouted. "Moon blast next, we need to keep damaging it!"

As the Gardevoir pelted the Porygon2 with the power of the moon, Lillie shouted. "Sony, use trick room, then keep using tri attack!"

The Porygon2 distorted, the dimensions, causing the Gardevoir to slow down significantly. Both Porygon2 and Gardevoir traded blows until the third moon blast knocked the Porygon2 out.

Lillie saw how little time she had left in the trick room and switched for her next pokemon, preparing a key stone herself. "Mele, get ready to mega evolve!"

The Venusaur entered the arena as the energy flowed into him, becoming much larger with more vegetation on his back in a road.

Lillie shouted. "Mele, sludge bomb!" The Gardevoir was pelted in the face by the sludge and reverted back, falling over knocked out.

Diantha called the Gardevoir back and sent out a Tyrantrum, Lillie ordered. "Mele use giga drain!"

Diantha ordered. "Before the trick room goes away, use dragon dance!"

The Venusaur inhaled and drained the Tyrantrum as Diantha ordered. "Now head smash!"

The Tyrantrum rammed into the Venusaur, pushing him back across the floor, he still stood as Lillie ordered. "Now, one more giga drain!" The Venusaur inhaled again and knocked the Tyrantrum out.

Diantha called the Tyrantrum back and sent out a Hawlucha. "Knock that Venusaur out with sky attack!" The Hawlucha glowed, ate a red herb and quickly knocked the Venusaur out in a wing like blast, causing him to revert back to his normal form.

Lillie called the Venusaur back, having confidence that she pushed back enough. "Shockums, we need to take that Hawlucha down with thunderbolt!"

Diantha saw the crackle and ordered. "Now, use high jump kick to knock that Raichu out!" The Hawlucha leaped into the air and kicked down; the Raichu dodged and saw the crater left behind. The Hawlucha was in pain from the recoil and was knocked out by a thunderbolt.

Diantha called the Hawlucha back and sent out a Goodra that prepared an outrage.

Lillie ordered. "Shockums, we cant really switch, use focus blast." The Raichu focused a shot, the Goodra rushed through and beaten her down for a k.o.

Lillie cringed and called the Raichu back. "You done good Shockums... Lola come out!"

The Vaporeon was sent out and was greeted to a Goodra continuing its outrage. "Lola, counter with an ice beam!" The Vaporeon shot the Goodra back and was lunged again; The Vaporeon shot another ice beam and knocked the Goodra out.

Diantha called the Goodra back and saw the fire in Lillies eyes as she sent her next pokemon. "That is the shine, Gourgeist use seed bomb!"

A choice band Gourgeist came out and spun out hard seeds at the Vaporeon for a k.o. Lillie found herself in a corner and prepared her last pokemon. "Cain, get ready."

Lillie sent out a Leafeon, Diantha called the Gourgeist back. "Aurorus, we have one more hit for this victory!"

Lillie saw her chance. "Cain, swords dance and keep using leaf blade!" The Leafeon danced, the leaf on his forehead and the leaf on his tail glowed green as he leaped at the Aurorus preparing a hyper beam.

Slash!

The Aurorus was knocked out. Dianthia flinched and called the Aurorus back. "Gourgeist, lets do this!"

The Gourgeist saw her opponent as Dianthai ordered. "Use shadow sneak!" The Gourgeist sank into the shadows and struck the Leafeon from behind, he slashed back at the Gourgeist as it giggled back into the shadows.

Lillie shouted. "Wait for it to attack and use leaf blade again!" The Leafeon listened as the Gourgeist punched him from behind, he spun his leaf blade.

SLASH!

The Gourgeist was hit for critical damage and knocked out. Diantha took the lose rather well, like she seen the determination like Lillie's once before. "That positive hope for the future and the warm feeling that fills your heart."

Lillie understood what Diantha was talking about. "Even after the things that happen, when it seems hopeless... there is always the will to make things change for the better. To give everyone a reason to smile again." Both agreed to the statement and shook their hands in sportsman ship.

When Lillie left, she was greeted to Burnet and Gladion congratulating her on defeating a champion. Burnet noticed Lillies smile being more mellow. "Something wrong?"

Lillie shook her head. "No, just have a lot on my mind. If that battle was anything, it helped me find an answer!"

Both were sitting on a bench calming down as Gladion understood exactly what Lillie was referring. "That has to be something to hold to... least to get through it after what we found out."

Elio was stuck with his captains and two skulls that were more interested in how quickly the match turned against his favor. Lana shrugged it and was teasing Elio. "Despite that champ having you in a corner, you were able to push back a win! Bet that that makes you feel like a big boy now!"

Elio wondered and wiped the sweat from his head. "That is just the first of them! I got three more to worry about."

Plumeria spoke her mind as she asked. "Aren't you normally scared of fighting a Mega Metagross? Because that one messed your team up pretty bad."

Elio nodded off the adrenaline as he answered. "It also tore a hole through my normal strategy of having Gladiator set up his speed and either using no guard stone edge till the cows come home or reversal to take advantage of his low health after getting hit very hard. Mega Metagross doesn't even let me get the speed thanks to bullet punch!"

Elio grinned in confidence as he saw his next opponent. "I heard of this guy from what Lillie said about him. Looks like I am going to have to fight the dragon master while Lillie has her shot at Hilda."
 
World Tournament Chapter 11: Champion Round 2
As the next round began, Elio found himself approaching the arena to confront a man in a cape with spiky red hair that introduced himself as Lance. "I sense the love and trust with your pokemon, this will be a fantastic battle."

Elio stared sharply. "One of the toughest guys in Kanto, this will only result in glory." Both prepared a pokeball, beginning the battle

Elio vs Lance.

Lance sent out a Dragonite, Elio tossed a pokeball and shouted. "GLADIATOR GET READY WITH ROCK POLISH!"

The Lycanroc reduced the drag for increased speed as Lance shouted. "Dragonite use draco meteor!"

The Lycanroc was pelted by meteors as he heard Elio's next order. "STONE EDGE THAT DRAGONITE OUT OF HERE!"

The Lycanroc was about to slam his fist into the ground as Lance ordered. "Use extreme speed to keep damaging it!"

The Dragonite rushed into the Lycanroc and was knocked back by a critical hit from a stone edge that erupted in between the two; the Dragonite laid dazed and knocked out.

Lance called the Dragonite out and sent out a Salamence that intimidated the Lycanroc, Lance activated a keystone sewn into his cape. "Now mega evolve!" The Salamence glowed as his wings merged into a crescent moon.

Elio swallowed. "GLADIATOR AGAIN!" The Lycanroc slammed into the ground again and sent the Salamence spinning side ways towards him.

Lance shouted. "Salamence use dragon claw!" The Salamence tore straight through the Lycanroc, causing him to fall over knocked out in silence.

Elio switched the knocked out Lycanroc and tossed a quick ball. "LOST FINISH IT OFF WITH A SHADOW CLAW!"

The Mimikyu entered the arena, Lance knew of the pokemon's ability. "Salamence use double edge!" The Mimikyu was startled as she was torn into by a a aerilated double edge. As the disguise fell, the Mimikyu clawed into the Salamence with a claw underneath her cloak.

RAKE!

The Salamence was tossed to the ground, he reverted back to his normal form knocked out.

Lance called the Salamence back and sent his next pokemon. "Kingdra we can still win this!" A Kingdra entered the stage ready to use a flash cannon at the Mimikyu as Elio began to pose. "LOST USE TWINKLING TACKLE!"

The Mimikyu was bathed in strange light and caused the stage to be shrouded in pink mist, she hovered toward the Kingdra and tapped it on the snout; causing it to crash into the floor for a k.o.

Lance didn't flinch as he switched and sent out a Flygon. "Flygon use earth power, don't stop!"

The Flygon caused the ground underneath the Mimikyu to erupt as Elio shouted. "LOST USE PLAY ROUGH AND KEEP AT IT!" The Mimikyu rushed into the Flygon's face and played rough, the Flygon shook the Mimikyu back and erupted the ground where she landed. The Mimikyu flashed a shine in her eyes and rushed back into the Flygon, smacking him across the face for a knock out.

Lance called the Flygon back and prepared the next pokemon. "No matter what.. Haxorus lets go!"

A Haxorus with a choice scarf entered the stage as Lance shouted. "Earthquake!" The Haxorus stomped the ground at the charging Mimikyu.

Boom!

The Mimikyu was sent back to her trainers feet. K.O!

Elio called the knocked out Mimikyu and tossed a pokeball. "KALDEN LETS SHOW THEM!" A Silvally entered the stage and stared at the Haxorus that let loose another earthquake.

Elio roared. "USE DRACO METEOR!" As the Silvally joined in a roar, meteor's crashed from the ceiling and knocked the Haxorus out.

Lance it back and sent out his last pokemon; a Hydreigon. "Hydreigon lets fight back with a draco meteor of our own!"

The Hydreigon roared and let loose its own draco meteor for a knock out on the Silvally, Elio called it back and thought as he prepared a great ball. "So we came to this. H.P, MAGGIE; MEGA EVOLVE AND LETS FINISH THIS!"

As Elio tossed a great ball, a Kangaskhan entered the field ready to mega evolve. As the Kangaskhan child grew, Elio shouted. "FAKE OUT, THEN RETURN!"

The duo rushed to the Hydreigon as it ate a white herb and prepared another meteor, only to be faked out. The Kangaskhan duo channeled their affection to their trainer in two strong punches. The Hydreigon roared as another barrage of meteors crashed into the duo.

Elio roared again. "AGAIN, FINISH THIS!" The Kangaskhan duo rushed to the Hydreigon, the mother punched the Hydreigon in the chest as the child punched it in the face. Sending it back to Lance knocked out. Elio powered the child down as the Kangaskhan mother picked her up to place her in the pouch.

Lance took a deep breath. "It's over, its an odd feeling..."

Elio guessed. "Your less mad about this and more that it was a good match?"

Lance nodded. "Also that I got to witness what makes a great champion." Both shook hands as they left the arena.

The next two challengers was Lillie and one of the people she met on Unova, Hilda.

As Lillie prepared for what she was about to say, Hilda smiled. "Look like we finally get to battle each other, your ready for this?"

Lillie smiled back. "Always!"

Lillie vs Hilda

Lillie shouted. "Skitters, lets start this battle!"

Hilda took an old pokeball and shouted. "Pythus, lets give it our all!"

Lillie saw the Serperior prepare and shouted. "Skitters, get ready with a quiver dance!"

As the Venomoth danced Hilda shouted. "Pythus use dragon tail!"

The Serperior's tail glowed as she knocked the Venomoth back to his trainer.

Lillie flinched and sent her next pokemon. "Mele, I need you out!"

The Venusaur came out as Hilda called the Serperior back. "That's enough Pythus, Senti lets do this!"

A Sigilyph came out of its ball, Lillie puffed up her cheeks and called the Venusaur back. "I'll mega evolve you later. Shockums, we need to take that Sigilyph down!"

A Raichu came out as Hilda ordered. "Blow a tailwind for Meg."

The Sigilyph began to prepare a tail wind as Lillie shouted. "Shockums, use thunderbolt!"

The Raichu shot into Sigilyph as Hilda ordered. "Air slash next, see if can't get a pot shot!" The Sigilyph used the tailwind and slashed into the Raichu; the Raichu's thunder bolt struck at the Sigilyph for a k.o.

Hilda sighed as she called the Sigilyph back. "Remember that I told you I raised a Hydreigon? Met Meg!"

Hilda tossed a dusk ball and sent out a Hydreigon with a pair of specs, ready for battle.

Hilda shouted. "Meg use dark pulse and don't stop!" The Hydreigon roared a pulse of bad thoughts at the Raichu, sending her back for a k.o.

Lillie called the Raichu back and sent her next pokemon. "Sony, I need you!" The Porygon2 was sent out as the Hydreigon used another dark pulse, Lillie shouted. "Use trick room then ice beam!"

The Porygon2 distorted the dimensions and froze the Hydreigon.

Hilda's smirk faded as Lillie smiled. "Again, we need to take advantage of this trick room while we can!"

The Porygon2 knocked the Hydreigon out for a k.o.

Hilda called the Hydreigon back. "Jelly, lets take this Porygon out!"

A Reuniclus hovered with a life orb in hand, Hilda ordered. "Jelly use focus blast, this trick room does you a good favor!"

The Reuniclus focused a shot at the Porygon2 for super effective damage.

Lillie glared in frustration. "Sony, I am sorry but we need to turn this trick room off!" The Porygon2 understood and distorted the dimensions back.

Hilda knew a smart opponent when she seen one. "You got yourself in that one, but if your team is fast that was a smart move. Jelly finish that Porygon with psyshock!" The Reuiniclus let loose wave that generated strange stones to knock the Porygon2 out.

Lillie called it back and tossed another ball. "Cain, we need that Reuiniclus out. X scissor and don't stop!"

The Leafeon entered slashed his front paws in an x shape pattern, the Reuiniclus was backed up as Hilda shouted. "Jelly another focus blast!" The Reuniclus shot at the Leafeon; the Leafeon dodged and slashed again, the Reuinclus was sent back knocked out.

Hilda called the Reuniclus back and glared. "Terror, use return!"

The Stoutland entered the battle and gave an intimidating bark at the Leafeon, Lillie shouted back. "Cain use leaf blade!" The Leafeon slashed his tail at the charging Stoutland; the Leafeon was pushed back by intense force and slashed again.

RAM!

The Leafeon was knocked back and knocked out, Lillie called the Leafeon back and sent her next pokemon. "Skitters, we need to push!"

The Venomoth flew up at Lillies order. "Use bug buzz!" The Stoutland was ramming back and was knocked out by the Venomoths loud buzz.

Hilda gritted her teeth as she called the Stoutland back. "Good work Terror, Healy lets do this!"

Hilda sent out an Audino with a mega stone. "Healy use psychic and don't stop!"

The Audino smiled as she let loose a psychic blast, Lillie kept ordering. "Skitters use quiver dance, we still got a way before we win."

The Venomoth danced as he was struck back, his special defenses fell as Lillie gave another order. "Now baton pass!"

The Venomoth tossed a baton and went back into Lillies ball. "Lola its on you!"

Hilda smirked as she saw the Vaporeon and activated her keystone. "Healy mega evolve and use calm mind!"

The Audino turned into a more benelvolent and calm appearance as Lillie shouted. "Surf!"

The Vaporeon shot a wave at the Audino, Hilda ordered next. "Wish, then dazzling gleam!"

The Audino saw a shooting star and was washed back again. Lillie ordered another surf as the Audino's wish came true and healed her. "I have to stop that Audino from healing. Lola use ice beam!"

The Vaporeon was exhausted as she shot again, freezing the Audino.

Hilda cringed and sweated as Lillie ordered again. "Now use surf as much as you can!"

The Vaporeon used the first wave, the Audino thawed.

Hilda stared in determination. "Healy use the same two moves."

The Audino listened and used wish, the Vaporeon shot her back; the Audino shot a dazzling gleam, having the Vaporeon near to fainting as she used surf one more time. The Audino fell back knocked out and reverted to her regular form.

Hilda and Lillie sighed for different reasons. "Healy you done enough, Pythus come out and use seed bomb!"

The Serperior entered with an regal pose as Lillie felt relief. "Lola use ice beam, we have this match!"

The Serperior rushed ahead and shot a barrage of seeds to knock the Vaporeon out.

Lillie called the Vaporeon back and sent out her next pokemon. "Mele, lets finish this!" The Venusaur entered as Lillie prepared the mega stone. "Mega evolve and use sludge bomb!"

Hilda knew the match was over as she saw the Venusaur mega evolve. "Pythus use outrage!"

The Serperior roared as she rushed to the Venusaur and was shot back by a sludge bomb, she charged again as Lillie ordered. "Petal dance!" The Venusaur took the Seperior's beating and shot back at her in point blank range. Knocking the Serperior out for a k.o.

Hilda smiled it off as she called the Serperior. "You certainly trained you pokemon long and well, they are pretty strong!"

Lillie powered the Venusaur down and wondered. "Mele is my starter when I began in Kanto... is that Serperior..."

Hilda remembered. "For around six years we traveled together, starting in this very region. My mom wasn't too happy that Pythus and the others wrecked my room."

She was lost in nostalgia when she heard a whistle blow, startling her. "I got someone to talk to after this. I heard he got scared out of coming and is at home watching instead."

Lillie knew Hilda was talking about N. "What happened?"

Hilda sighed. "He got into a fight with a trainer new to mega evolution and it got so out of control he didn't want to come with the conclusion that the mega evolved screams are going to keep continuing. Don't worry, I let him crash at my place from time to time." The two trainers flinched at what exactly happened and left the arena.

Lillie walked back into the main hall to find Elio grinning widely. She patted Elio on the back and asked. "Your feeling better?"

Elio nodded and answered. "Steven was absolute havoc, Lance was a fair challenge! From what I heard Brendan is even crazier with that Swampert of his."

Lillie wondered about the trainers from Johto, Hoenn and Kalos. "I wonder what type of people they met.

Elio shrugged. "Who knows." Lillie looked at the time before the next match and gave Elio a quick kiss before whispering. "Good luck on beating Brendan."

Elio broke the kiss long enough to whisper. "Same with you on beating Calem."

As the two embraced more, they heard a loud cough directed at them, the duo blushed to find Gladion giving a sharp glare at Elio.

As the duo realized they have been caught, Burnet entered with a Genesect yawning. "It's boring watching each other fight!"

Elio smiled at the Genesect. "Had that issue a couple days ago with watching Team Alola fight everyone... and I couldn't do squat other than cheer for them."

The Genesect tilted his head and asked. "If we have the time... you mind if I go out and search for something?"

Elio frowned back and raised a finger. "On one condition. We go outside and you at least show me where you are going!"

The Genesect chuckled. "So fly low and mind the speed? You are going to have to actually hold on!" As Elio and the Genesect left the building to a small adventure, they left Gladion, Lillie and Burnet to talk.

Burnet broke the silence and spoke her peace with a smile. "That Genesect was well behaved until the very end when he started getting bored."

Lillie smiled back. "That's better than last time. He even asked before he flew off..."

Burnet nodded before she frowned at the master ball. "Should I let the Mew back out?"

Lillie nodded. "If he wants to." Out of the master ball was a shaking Mew that made a faint meow and spoke by telepathy. "I'm sorry for letting that thing..."

Lillie gave the Mew a hug and whispered. "It's okay, we will find a way to deal with that."

Burnet joined in the hug as Gladion backed away to think. "I thought those chambers were able to get rid of... that. Why would there still be a Shadow Mew...in the Mew?"

The Mew frowned. "Bad me shouldn't be there, I don't know why he is there and it is scary to think how he got there." Gladion's frown worsened. "I know. I haven't exactly seen how Lillie or Elio were taking care of you after we got back from Orre..."

The Mew smiled and replied. "Oh, that! Pops took me to some pretty sights on Alola and had me battle a lot of pokemon! Mums shuffled between me and the others, but those first couple months were busy for everyone! Then they let me know you and grams! You mind if I call you uncle?"

Burnet found the nickname to be very sweet and Gladion blushed. "J...Just don't saw it near that Dex, Elio will never let that one down!"

Lillie broke the hug and took a deep breath before asking. "Were you talking to Nebby about us?"

The Mew nodded. "She called you two that as well! Nebby has been busy teaching the Solgaleo more about what he is! I might show them some friends I knew from beyond this realm!"

Burnet's eyes widened as she asked. "Beyond?"

The Mew tilted its head and replied. "Sorry about that, let me be more specific. Dialga, Palkia and Giratina!"

Burnet was in shock from the information as Lillie frowned in worry. "Isaac... is it really a good idea to do that?"

The Mew smiled and answered. "If they are not busy... they get cranky when they are taken out of work and Giratina gets very scary when the two are in the same place for long."

The Mew frowned in shame as it mentioned one more. "It would be easier to talk to them than grand pappy."

The three took in the information that the Mew had an encounter with the creation trio before Gladion broke the silence. "Why would it be hard to talk to him?"

The Mew looked down in guilt. "After how I hurt Mr Dusk and caused the world to go... bad. He would be very mad. The last time someone disturbed him, he saw the three beings as well as the three dragons missing. He had to create a new batch saying that the trainer who caught the old ones has to live with his choice from then on."

Gladion took a deep breath. "Do you want to talk about it more?"

The Mew shook its head. "No, may I go back in the ball mums?"

Lillie frowned as she nodded in approval, Burnet had the master ball ready to call the Mew back before her mind. "That Mew certainly has been to places..."

Burnet began to cry at the things she heard about the regarding the Mew.

Lillie calmed her down. "Mew is safe now. Those... people, wont hurt him any more."

Burnet calmed down as she prepared to leave for a pokemon center. "I am going to call Kukui and see how he is doing, I'll be back!"

As the two siblings were left alone Gladion frowned as he asked. "You and Elio have been doing... that an awful lot."

Lillie smiled. "He has been there for me over a year ago, had been with me during our trip to Orre..."

Gladion took a deep breath. "He bought a house and invited you over six months ago. Anything else I need to know?"

Lillie blushed. "Remember our trip to Sinnoh... I couldn't keep the surprise from him after over two months of just telling him..."

Gladion was hesitate to ask. "What did he do when you told him of the battle frontier?"

Lillie blushed even redder as she remembered the night. "He told me how he feels about me... the exact words were Lillie, I love you."

Gladion glared out the door in anticipation. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Lillie frowned back and answered. "When we realized you were coming to Unova after that film, Elio though you were going to kill him! He started to joke about wanting to be buried near the Ferris Wheel."

Gladion kept a glare at the door. "I still want a word with him... he was going to do something for us and I want to know why!"

As Gladion gave his answer, Elio came back shaking with a Genesect being petted. "Good job finding a Bleu berry! They are very sour berries so you wouldn't exactly like them even if you had a sense of taste."

The Genesect chuckled. "I was surprised you were able to hold on that long. I need to explore places more often."

As the trainer and pokemon got along, they found Gladion walking toward them with a question. "I know you are trying to help us with... that thing I told you over a year ago. Why?"

Elio kept answered in a more mellowed smile. "Because you and Lillie are my friends! I seen that you still had issues so I thought I try to do something. The problem is I wasn't able to last year."

Gladion kept a frown and asked. "Is that seriously all?"

Elio nodded a yes as Gladion placed his hand over his face. "Lillie told me a bit more of what you did in Sinnoh."

Elio asked. "Did she tell you about the snow angels... or she told you that I told her I love her. If your going to kill me... can we wait until the tournament is done?"

Gladion rolled his eyes at the question. "You do realize what your doing is not something to take lightly... right?"

Elio nodded. "Finding a good grave in Nimbasa or the things with Lillie?"

Gladion glared and asked. "Would you stop with the grave jokes?"

Elio took the que and answered. "Yes!"

The Gladion asked more annoyed than ever. "Are you going to answer the question?" Elio answered back. "Yes and yes!"

Gladion thought it over, sighed and smiled. "Don't break her heart and you shouldn't have any worries from me."

Elio saw a faint smile from Gladion that faded as soon as Lillie walked over to wonder what is wrong with the Genesect. "Your alright?"

As she petted the Genesect, it jumped up in response. "WHA... oh!" Lillie asked again. "Are you alright?"

The Genesect yawned and answered. "Bored... those two have been talking and I had nothing better to do."

Elio heard and took out a net ball. "Sorry about that."

The Genesect was feeling sleeping. "It's fine, going to take a nap in there anyways." As the Genesect was called back, the buzzer on the timer dinged signaling the semi finals were about to begin.
 
World Tournament Arc Chapter 12: Semi Finals!
As Elio entered the arena, he found himself confronting a champion from Hoenn. A man in a red clothes and a white hat by the name of Brendan smiled and prepared. "Semi finals? Let's see who gets to go to the finals!"

They both shouted. "Bring it on!"

Elio vs Brendan

Elio sent out his Lycanroc and shouted. "GLADIATOR, GET READY!"

Brendan smiled and shouted. "Pelipper, lets start this battle!"

The Pelipper's presence caused rain to drizzle into the arena.

Elio shouted. "GLADIATOR, STONE EDGE BEFORE THAT PELIPPER MESSES US UP!"

The Lycanroc rushed in front of the Pelipper and knocked it out with a stone edge.

Brendan prepared a key stone as he switched to his next pokemon, a Swampert with a bracelet with a particular stone. "Swampert, get ready to mega evolve!" Brendan shined the stone, causing the Swampert to glow; his arms grew, his back fins became like jets.

Brendan smirked in excitement. "Now use waterfall!"

The Swampert swam ahead and rammed into the Lycanroc, Elio shouted as he saw his pokemon hold on. "GLADIATOR USE REVERSAL!"

The Lycanroc pushed the Swampert back, Brendan shouted as his Swampert was about to land. "Finish it off with an earthquake!"

The Swampert punched into the ground on landing, causing it to erupt and send the Lycanroc flying back for a k.o.

Elio flinched as he called the Lycanroc back and toss the quick ball. "LOST WE NEED TO TAKE THAT SWAMPERT DOWN!"

As a Mimikyu landed on the ground, the Swampert rushed into the her in another waterfall, causing her disguise to plop as Elio shouted. "PLAY ROUGH AND WE HAVE IT GONE!"

The Mimikyu leaped at the Swampert and began to beat at him until smacking him aside for a k.o.

Brendan called the Swampert back and glared in determination as he sent out his next pokemon. "Claydol we need to control this Mimikyu's damage, use reflect!"

Elio growled. "LOST, SHADOW CLAW!"

The Mimikyu clawed into the Claydol as it spun and created a reflective barrier, the Mimikyu clawed again for a k.o. Brendan called the Claydol back sent out his next pokemon a Gardevoir with a choice scarf. "Gardevoir, use shadow ball and keep doing it!"

The Gardevoir shot a shadow ball the Mimikyu, sending her flying back for super effective damage.

Elio shouted. "LOST AGAIN!"

The Mimikyu clawed into the Gardevoir for a k.o, leaving Brendan glaring as he called her back. "Flygon, we need to win this, start with earthquake!"

Elio shouted. "LOST USE PLAY RO..." The Mimikyu was about to attack as the Flygon stomped an earthquake.

BOOM!

The ground erupted and caused the Mimikyu to fly back knocked out. Elio gritted as he called the Mimikyu back and sent out his next pokemon. "H.P, I NEED YOU OUT HERE!"

As the Kangaskhan emerged from the ball, Elio activated a keystone for mega evolution. "MEGA EVOLVE AND USE FAKE OUT!"

The Kangaskhan child grew and leaped out of the pouch, both her and her mother faked the Flygon was faked out, Brendan shouted. "Use dragon dance!"

The Flygon began to dance as Elio realize what is happening. "H.P USE RETURN, WE CAN'T LET THAT FLYGON STAY HERE FOR LONG!"

The Kangaskhan duo channeled their affection to a combined punch, sending the Flygon back as Brendan ordered. "Use outrage!" The Flygon shrieked and leaped at the Kangaskhan; he beated at her for critical damage and sent both flying back, both her and the child were k.o'd.

Elio called the duo back as the child reverted and shouted. "GUPPY, WE NEED TO KEEP PUSHING!" The Incineroar was greeted to a rampaging Flygon that lunged at him next.

Elio shouted. "NOW DARKEST LAIRAT!" The Incineroar spun and tossed the Flygon back, the Flygon shoved the Incineroar into the ground and clawed into him for a k.o.

Elio saw the Flygon confused and was relieved, until he saw the Flygon eat a strange pink berry to rid itself of the confusion. "Crap a persim berry! KALDEN WE NEED TO PUSH, DRACO METEOR!"

The Silvally was sent out and was prepared to roar a draco meteor, Brendan gritted his teeth. "FLYGON DO NOT LET THAT HAPPEN! FINISH THIS FIGHT WITH AN OUTRAGE!" The Flygon roared and knocked the Silvally out in a vicious onslaught.

Elio called the Silvally back and whispered. "It's okay... Flygon is not a dragon by birth either."

Elio shook hands with Brendan in sportsmanship. "What can I say, you played more aggressively. That Flygon pushed me back."

Brendan smirked as he had his hand behind his head. "Sorry about that, your a good trainer to make it this far. I hope we fight again one day!"

As the two left the arena, the next two challengers to enter was Lillie and the champion from Kalos, Calem.

As Lillie prepared herself for battle, Calem took a deep breath in apology. "I am sorry about what happened with Magdoline, she usually acts like that if she see's something very dangerous that only she and her Chandelure can see... which is very rare."

Lillie sighed in relief. "She actually did us a huge favor, by exposing that problem before it happened later in a worse time."

Calem still frowned in the thought and shrugged it in determination. "I don't want to be more involved in personal matters. If it gives you a reason to vent this out, I am not sorry for the battle that is about to happen!" Both trainers glared at each other in determination as the battle began.

Lillie vs Calem.

Calem took out a pokeball and shouted. "Go Launcher!"

A Blastoise with a mega stone crown prepared for its trainers next order.

Lillie took out a net ball and shouted. "Skitters, lets do this!"

Calem activated a key stone and shouted. "Lancher, mega evolve and use dark pulse!"

The Blastoise glowed as his shell's side canons move to his writs, showing two shells with a canon; his back grew a single giant cannon.

Lillie shouted. "Skitters, use quiver dance!" As the Venomoth danced, the Blastoise shot out a pulse of bad thoughts to deal damage.

Lillie had the chance she needed. "Skitters use baton pass!"

The Venomoth tossed a baton and returned to Lillies ball, she tossed a pokeball and shouted. "Mele, get ready!"

Calem ordered the Blastoise to use water pulse in his rush, it did not deal very effective damage but he grinned. "You have a mega Venusaur? Is that your starter."

Lillie activated the mega stone on her bracelet. "Yes, he is. Mele mega evolve and use giga drain!"

The Venusaur glowed to his mega form and inhaled; the Blastoise took super effective damage, reverted back to his normal form and fell on his face knocked out. Calem asked as he prepared called the Blastoise back and prepared a heal ball. "Kalos is a region known for mega evolutions and I have quite a few. You have any other pokemon capable of mega evolution?"

Lillie took a deep breath and nodded. "I also have an Audino, Pidgeot, and Gardevoir that can mega evolve... an Abomasnow I have that isn't ready just yet."

Calem shrugged as he switched to his next pokemon. "The bond will come in due time. Calibur, we need this Venusaur gone!"

An Aegislash hovered in a defensive stance, wearing a kings rock.

Lillie ordered. "Mele use petal dance!"

The Venusaur shot at the Aegislash, sending it back as Calem ordered. "Calibur use swords dance and shadow sneak!"

The Aegislash danced for more damage and sneaked into the shadows; slashing at the Venusaur unleashing the petals and causing him to flinch.

Calem smirked at his luck. "Livrer la coup de grace!"

The Aegislash knocked the Venusaur to his side, causing him to revert back to his normal form knocked out.

Lillie flinched at the finishing line and called her Venusaur back. "You done good Mele, Lola we need to take that Aegislash down!"

The Vaporeon entered the battle, Calem was excited and shouted. "Bouclier de roi!"

The Aegislash listened and returned to a defensive stance to use kings shield.

Lillie shouted. "Lola use wish!"

The Vaporeon wished on a star as Calem ordered. "Use shadow sneak, see if we cannot get lucky!"

The Aegislash sneaked into an attack stance and slashed at the Vaporeon, Lillie ordered. "Now use surf!" The Vaporeon listened and washed the Aegislash away for a k.o.

Calem smirked and switched to his next pokemon. "Sid, get ready."

A vested Malamar entered the battle. "Sid use super power, then follow with a psycho cut!" The Malamar rushed into the Vaporeon, contrary to how intense the blow was, his physical structure looked more buffed.

Lillie ordered as she saw her Vaporeon heal. "Lola use surf and don't stop!"

The Vaporeon washed at the Malamar and was countered by a psychic slash; the water rushed again as the Malamar slashed again for a k.o.

Lillie sighed as she called the Vaporeon back. "You done well, Skitters I need you out again!"

Lillie sent her Venomoth out and ordered. "Bug buzz that Malamar!" The Venomoth buzzed into the Malamar for a k.o.

Calem called the Malamar back and sent his next pokemon. "Rex, Montrer leur pourquoi une Roi!" Out of the pokeball came a Tyrantrum, Lillie shouted. "Skitters, use bug buzz!"

The Venomoth buzzed into the Tyrantrum for tinted damage as Calem ordered. "Dragon danse puis utilisation tete outrage!" The Tyrantrum danced and beaten down on the Venomoth for a knock out.

Lillie called the Venomoth back and asked Calem. "I know what your doing, why are you giving orders in that language?"

She sent out a Porygon2 with an eviolite as Calem shrugged. "I do this when I get excited. It can throw a lot of people off."

Lillie stared determined. "If that is what you are going. Sony, ho'ohana hau mea ulana lole!"

The Porygon2 shot an ice beam at the Tyrantrum, freezing him in place.

Calem flinched as the Tyrantrum was frozen. "Most of the time people speak in the universal language and usually don't need to speak anything else. Rex thaw out, we can still win this!"

Lillie understood as she ordered her Porygon2. "I'll stop with that one, Sony finish that Tyrantrum off with another ice beam!" The Porygon2 shot another beam as the Tyrantrum was still frozen, knocking him out in the cold.

Calem sighed as he called the Tyrantrum back. "Fair enough, Alga lets continue this!"

A Dragalge entered the arena, Lillie shouted. "Sony use recover!"

The Porygon2 was panting as he healed, Calem saw the strategy. "Use toxic spikes."

Lillie ordered another ice beam as she saw the spikes scattered, she was waiting as she ordered. "Sony, keep using ice beam and wait till I say recover."

Calem ordered. "Use toxic, then get ready for the big one!" The Dralage understood as he shot toxic liquid at the Porygon2, Lillie flinched as she licked her lips in preparation. The Dralage was shot again as he roared a draco meteor to leave the Porygon2 struggling to float up, the toxic damage caused him to faint.

Lillie called the Porygon2 back and sent her next pokemon. "Shockums, we need to keep fighting!"

The Raichu entered, was poisoned by the spikes as Lillie posed for the Raichu to use. "GIGA VOLT HAVOC!" The Raichu was bathed in a strange light and shot an intense thunderbolt at the Dragalge; the audiences hair stand as they saw the sparks, leaving behind a knocked out Dragalge.

Calem called the Dragalge back. "Blocky, we have to take this Raichu down!"

As a heavily armored hedgehog known Chestnaught entered the stage.

Lillie shouted. "Shockums use focus blast!"

The Raichu shot a focus blast, the Chestnaught dodged as Calem ordered. "Finish it off with a wood hammer!" The Chestnaught rammed his fist like a hammer at the Raichu for a knock out. Leaving Lillie to call the Raichu back and send her last poekmon. "Cain, we can still win this!"

Lillie sent out a Leafeon ready for battle, the trainer shouted. "Cain use return!"

The Leafeon rushed into the Chestnaught, Calem ordered his pokemon. "Counter with a drain punch!"

The Chestnaught punched into the Leafeon for a heal as Calem saw Lillie about to order something. "Use spikey shield!"

The Chestnaught braced himself in a defensive position, Lillie ordered. "Cain use swords dance! We need to hit harder!"

The Leafeon danced as the Chestnaught readied itself, Calem ordered. "Use drain punch to keep some recovery!"

The Chestnaught lunged as Lillie ordered. "Now use return again!"

The Leafeon charged into the Chestnaught, both took damage as they bounced off, Calem was anticipating something and ordered again. "Drain punch one more time!"

The Chestnaught was about to punch as Lillie shouted. "Finish this fight with a return!"

The Chestnaught prepared another punch as the Leafeon channeled his affection into a strong charge.

POW!

The Chestnaught was knocked out. Calem saw the lose and frowned; he shook the frown off and let loose an attractive smile that Lillie couldn't help but admire. "Good match!"

Lillie petted the Leafeon as she called him back and complimented Calem. "Same to you. Do you talk like... that in any place other than battles?"

Calem remembered something. "If I am talking in Kalos's native language, I am either talking to someone who originated from Kalos specifically for them to here. It is part of a battle strategy or I disagree with someone to the point I can't reason with them in one language and try in one they might understand. That last one is rare."

Lillie wondered as Calem walked away in a sway. "You got the final's left. Show them what makes you shine!"

Lillie stopped herself from blushing as she prepared to leave. "I need to talk to someone afterwards about this."
 
World Tournament Arc Chapter 13: The Champions Final Round!
World Tournament Arc Chapter 13: The Champions Final Round.

Elio walked out of the tournament hall to have a view of Unova's sea and take a breath of fresh salty air. To him, he did not expect to win the world tournament but he did expect to make it far. With the semi final's done, he had hope that Lillie would at least put Brendan in a corner. As he sat on the bench viewing a sun set, he noticed a man that looked similar to him sat next to him.

Elio recognized his father and took a deep breath. "How much of the tournament did you see pops?"

Benjamin tried to form a smile. "I missed some of the World Leader tournament and I watch all of the Champion rounds."

Elio smiled back. "Mom told me you called her, so at least you did that."

Benjamin cringed as he explained the bad news. "I talked to my boss to see if he would let me have a bit more free time, at least enough to at least call home every month or so."

Elio nodded. "What did he say?"

Benjamin frowned more expecting disappointment. "He wished I called him out sooner. This year is going to be another busy one and I won't be able to visit Alola for some tim..."

The man was stopped as he received a hug from his son. "Just let us know that you are still alive... that is all I am asking. Thanks for watching me and my team fight these champ."

The Dex flared from Elio's bag and buzzed. "BZZT! The final's are about to begin, you don't want to miss Lillie's big battle. BZZT!"

Elio got up in preparation and smiled at his father. "After this tournament is done, I'll be heading to Alola in the next couple of days and wont be back in this region until the next world tournament."

Benjamin took a deep breath as he asked. "I'm staying around until the final round before I have to get ready for work tomorrow. Do you want me to at least see you off?"

Elio shook his head as he went back to the tournament. "You don't have too."

The father and son went into the building and parted ways to two separate seats.

Elio found a seat right next to Gladion who was suspicious and asked. "It took you a while for fresh air."

Elio smiled towards his rival. "I Had a small talk with someone, what I missed?"

Gladion looked to find Lillie just began her battle with Brendan, the spot lights are spinning and shining at the two. "Nothing important except for the light show."

Lillie vs Brendan.

Lillie took her net ball and shouted. "Skitters, lets do this!"

Brendan grinned as he tossed a quick ball. "Pelipper, lets start this battle!"

As the Venomoth and Pelipper flew into battle, rain began to drizzle. "Skitters, use quiver dance then sludge bomb!"

As the Venomoth began to dance, Brendan shouted. "Set up a tailwind, then hurricane till it goes down!"

As the Pelipper sent out a tailwind, the Venomoth hurled sludge and was blown away by the hurricane for a k.o.

Lillie called the Venomoth back and tossed a dusk ball. "Sony use trick room and tri attack!"

As the Porygon2 entered the arena, Brendan shouted. "Use hurricane on this one as well!" T

he Porygon2 was blown by intense winds as it distorted the dimensions and shot the Pelipper down with three beams.

Brendan called the Pelipper back and sent out a Swampert; he prepared his key stone. "Swampert, Mega evolve!"

Lillie saw the Swampert mega evolved and switched the Porygon2. "Mele, take the hit while we get ready!"

The Venusaur stood as it took a mega waterfall rush with his face.

Lillie shouted as she activated her keystone. "Now mega evolve and use giga drain!"

The Venusaur mega evolved, inhaled and knocked the Swampert out.

Brendan called the Swampert back and sent out his next pokemon. "Claydol, we need to set up. Use light screen!"

The Claydol set up a light screen as Lillie ordered. "Mele use giga drain!"

The Venusaur inhaled at the Claydol for super effective damage, Brendan shouted. "Claydol counter with a psychic!"

The Claydol let loose a psychic blast, pushing the Venusaur back as Lillie saw her chance. "Mele, finish the Claydol off with petal dance."

The Venusaur began to shake his plant, causing an eruption of petals to engulf the Claydol and sending it flying to the air and behind Brendan knocked out.

Brendan cringed as he called the Claydol back. "Sheesh, she plays for keeps. Gardevoir we need to stop this Venusaur."

A Gardevoir was sent out to endure the mega Venusaur's petal dance, Brendan calmed down. "The trick room should be gone next turn, psyshock and don't stop till that Venusaur is knocked out!"

The Gardevoir let loose a psyshock a to pelt the Venusaur, the dimensions returned to normal as she glowed and pelted the Venusaur again. T

he Venusaur reverted back knocked out; Lillie called him back and tossed another pokemon. "Cain, use swords dance and we should knock this Gardevoir out!"

The Leafeon listened to the order as he was pelted by another psyshock, he danced and took another as Lillie ordered. "Now, use leaf blade!"

The Leafeon dashed to the Gardevoir with his tail and knocked her out.

Brendan called the Gardevoir back and sent out a Flygon, shouting a tone that was startling. "FLYGON FINISH THAT LEAFEON OFF WITH OUTRAGE!"

The Flygon rushed in and brutally knocked the Leafeon out of the fight.

Lillie called the switched to another pokemon. "That tone sounds familiar. Lola, use ice beam!"

The Vaporeon was sent out and was rushed across the stage by the Flygon's relentless attacks, the Vaporeon inhaled and shot the Flygon back with a super effective ice beam.

Brendan found himself in a corner as he saw the Flygon knocked out, he called it back and sent out his last pokemon. "Breloom, we can still win this!"

The Breloom entered the battle with a purple orb, Lillie shouted. "Use ice beam again!"

Brendan saw the attack and shouted. "Breloom use protect!" The Breloom set up a barrier to block the ice beam, the toxic orb began to seep.

The Breloom did not mind being badly poisoned as the next order was shouted. "Use seed bomb to knock that Vaporeon out!"

Lillie saw the damage coming and shouted. "Lola use protect!" The Vaporeon protected herself from the first barrage, Brendan ordered another to knock the Vaporeon out with a super effective seed bomb.

Lillie called the Vaporeon back and sent her next pokemon. "Shockums, we need to knock out that Breloom!"

As the Raichu was sent out, Lillie began to pose for the move. "GIGAVOLT HAVOC!"

The Raichu charged up in energy and charged her cheeks, she shot a massive thunderbolt at the Breloom that was too intoxicated to notice.

BOOOM!

The electricity crackled, the mist cleared, the Breloom was drooling as Brendan shouted. "Knock that Raichu out with a facade!"

The Breloom punched into the Raichu with afflicted fury for a knock out.

Lillie called her Raichu back and sent out her last pokemon, her Porygon2.

Brendan shouted in confidence as he saw his Breloom heal with the poison. "Breloom use spore before that Porygon2 does anything."

The Breloom shook itself and sent the Porygon2 into a deep sleep, Lillie cringed as she is shouting. "Sony use ice beam, that is all we need to win!"

The Porygon2 was asleep as Brendan took his chance. "Now use facade again!"

The Breloom punched the Porygon2 back, it was still asleep as Brendan shouted one more order. "Finish that Porygon2 off with a seed bomb!"

The Breloom swung his tail up and tossed a group of seeds.

Boom! The Porygon2 was knocked out.

Lillie took a deep breath, channeled any grief from loosing the final round out of her system and called her Porygon2 back. "I lost. Congratulations on winning this tournament."

Brendan smirked as he called the Breloom back. "It was a very good battle, I'm glade to have met your pokemon!" Both shook each others hands in sportsmanship as Lillie asked. "Anything about Hoenn I need to know of?"

Brendan answered. "It is a region home to contests, has a space center and has lore on some very powerful legendary pokemon from ancient times. If you ever stop by in Hoenn, look for an island in the seas... you might find something."

Both left the stage as the tournament was coming to an end.

Lillie walked to the main hall to be congratulated by Burnet, Gladion and Elio for the fight.

Lillie embraced Burnet as Elio spoke. "You hand him at a corner and he came back with an Breloom. Anything about that pokemon we need to know about Dex?"

The Dex flared up with a picture of Breloom. "BZZT! Breloom the Mushroom pokemon. The seeds ringing its tail are made of hardened toxic spores. It is horrible to eat the seeds, just one bite will make your stomach rumble. Its arms stretch when it throws punches. Its technique is like that of pro boxers. BZZT!"

Gladion remembers enough of the pokemon. "It's kind of a slow pokemon but I seen Breloom's strategy before in the battle tree. If it has poison heal, it will use a toxic orb to power himself up and constantly heal. It's not native to Alola so it's probably why not many of the natives heard of it."

Lillie nodded. "That is what makes Breloom a very special pokemon. You want to watch the reward ceremony?" Group nodded as they began to think of the next thing to do for the week.
 
Epilogue Arc Chapter 1: Goodbye Unova!
The next couple days for the group had been uneventful save for them preparing to leave. Elio and Lillie harvested some Bleu berries, Gladion spent some time hanging around with Wes and Rui to talk. Burnet spent some time talking with Fennel about more things that happened in the week.

Lillie made it clear to Burnet. "If you have any business you want to do by yourself, go do it. We are all to gather at Castelia port when in a couple days anyways."

On the final day.

Elio and Lillie were talking to Nate and Yancy about where they were going.

Nate grinned in an attempt to say his goodbyes. "You two are heading back to Alola?"

Elio nodded. "The entire reason we came here early was because they needed one more pokemon to train at their leisure. Nearly everyone is homesick at this point!"

Yancy smiled and spoke of her part. "Because of my job, I tend to be everywhere around the world. We might meet each other again someday."

Lillie smiled back. "Hopefully we do, because these few months have been amazing."

Elio agreed with her. "They have, if there is one place we can go to if you are in the area... there is always the battle royal."

Nate caught interest. "I might check it out one day, it is that time of month to go on the Ferris Wheel... see you later."

The older couple went into the cart as Lillie caught someone hiding in the bushes. "Brother what are you doing here?!"

Gladion revealed himself on realizing he was caught, nearly breaking a frown. "I am making sure Elio wasn't trying anything funny. You two have been alone for quite a while."

Elio cringed. "That was something my mom already called me out on. I promise you, I am not doing any funny business with Lillie. I just want one more trip in this Ferris Wheel before we leave this region."

Lillie looked at Elio strange as she asked. "Funny business?"

The Dex was about to reveal what the meant until Elio shoved it in the bag. "Not important right now... Gladion... you ever been in one of these before?"

Gladion shook his head and asked. "Are you inviting me in this?"

Elio and Lillie nodded as they had him join the two in seeing most of Unova.

As the Ferris Wheel raised higher, Lillie was feeling bitter sweet. "This was the place our adventure in this region began."

Elio listened and Gladion asked. "What happened?"

Lillie sighed. "We saved Nate from an assassination attempt."

Gladion flinched. "Wha... that is how you came to the conclusion to fight Team Plasma?"

Lillie nodded as the sight became higher, Elio took out the Rotom Dex. "Hey Gladion... you mind if we take a group picture?"

Gladion stared and was tempted to refuse, he saw the highest point coming and agreed. "Sure... after everything you have done and are trying for us. It's hard to really get sick of you these days."

Elio had the Rotom Dex at the side of the cart as he sat in the middle, Lillie was on one side, Gladion was at the other. "I don't expect all of us to smile. Just stare at the Dex. Dex snap when it is a perfect sight!"

The Rotom Dex buzzed. "BZZT! Sure thing boss! BZZT!"

The Rotom Dex saw the moment and...

CLICK!

As the Ferris wheel ended, Elio had the photo looked at. He and Lillie didn't expect Gladion to smile, while Gladion was enjoying a rather lively photo being complimented by the sunset.

Elio broke the silence as he asked. "I'll get this in the photo's... think we should head to Castelia?" The siblings agreed as Elio called in the Salamence for flight.

As the day ended.

The group converged to the dock of Castelia City.

Elio made one more speech to his minions in explaining what was about to happen. "Even if I dragged you all into this, did you all have a good time?" Most of them nodded with their bags full.

Plumeria smiled. "A lot of cultures out there in the world. Pretty relaxing how people can get along despite the differences."

Guzma gave a frown. "It's alright, I got a Volcarona to try out pretty soon!"

Elio heard a boat took a horn as saw it in the distance, he spoke to his group. "Once we get on that boat, you are no longer my minions until next tournament... depending on what happens! Glad we gotten as far as we did!"

Team Alola sighed in disappointment, Lana shouted in the back. "That's no victory speech and you know it!"

Elio frowned as in response. "I can't find any good words and this is as far as I can get."

Lillie was exhausted on listening as Burnet was trying to keep her awake, Gladion shrugged. "I heard of worse."

The boat to Alola began to toot was closer in viewing. distance. "And that is our boat! Good work all of you!"

On the boat.

The group were glad to finally be able to go back to Alola, whether it was because they feel homesick or to show their friends and relatives how far they gotten. As Elio noticed someone waving goodbye before the boat became so distant, Lillie joined to his side to think about what they have to do on Alola.

Elio spoke first. "How long would it take for Blattron and the few others we caught before they get comfortable with Alola?"

Lillie thought more. "Wela would be like Melta, Auggy and Forest are not native to Alola so they are kind of around the house... Blattron needs some time before he even settles down."

Gladion over heard and joined in the conversation. "Elio might ask someone about doing something for him... not sure if it is a good idea since the person he has in mind has no problems working for Team Plasma in the first place."

Burnet listened and agreed with Gladion. "It really isn't a good idea. Elio do you have a plan if that doesn't work?"

Elio wondered himself. "Find another way and don't give up on it."

Lillie sighed as she patted Elio on the back. "Do know that we are here for you. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders."

Elio calmed down as he and the group of four stared at the sunset, he and Gladion were the first to yawn as they realized their adventure on Unova came to an end.
 
Epilogue Arc Chapter 2: A Calming Truth an An Ideal Return!
As the boat to Alola returned a couple weeks later, the groups scattered like the wind.

Lillie asked Burnet. "I will be going with Elio and Gladion to talk to Hau for a bit. I'll be at Kukui's shortly."

Burnet stretched her legs as she listened. "I'll let him know that everyone is back. I will see you shortly."

The trio met up with Hau who was bored and about to share a Masalada with a Raichu and Ludicolo until he noticed.

He rushed to the three and tackled them down with a bear hug. "Alola again! It's felt like you been gone forever!"

Gladion tried to push Hau away. "We were gone for a couple months, that can happen."

Hau nodded as he asked the others of their trip. The trio spent what felt like hours talking about the places they have been until Elio asked. "Anything happened on Alola that at least saved you from boredom?"

Hau was cheering. "I was busy with old festival honoring the Tapu's. I got to hang out with the Kahunas but that was about it."

Lillie gave Hau a welcome hug. "It's okay, things should be going back to normal in a few days. Then we can think of something new to do."

The boys agreed to that until Lillie decided to take her leave. "I'll be heading to Aether Paradise shortly and visit Kukui after. Elio, I will see you back at our house!"

Elio yawned as Gladion prepared his pager. "I'll be giving Wicke my notes on the bond between trainer and pokemon. I'll be at the motel afterwards if you need me!"

Gladion flew away as Hau asked Elio. "You have anything special to do yourself?"

Elio nodded in answer. "Yes, I need to introduce a pokemon I have to Alola and it is best I do it alone. Meet you here tomorrow?"

Hau didn't mind as he waved goodbye. "I'll be here if you need me!"

Elio found a secluded shore, he tossed out the pokeball and net ball. "Blattron! Say hello to home! Kalden, you mind wanting to meet him?"

The Genesect came out startled by the sights as the dragon type Silvally felt the sea breeze flow through his mane.

The Genesect sat down to view the shore with the Silvally following. The Genesect heard the silence waves across the beach and asked. "So... this is Alola?"

The Silvally growled in approval as Elio raised four fingers. "This is Melemele... three other islands make up this region! Akala, Ula'ula and Poni island."

The Genesect nodded as he viewed something within distance. "What about that metal one I see?"

Elio frowned as the Silvally snorted smoke out of his nostrils. "That large floating island... that is Aether Paradise and I recommend you don't go there just yet... or ever!"

The Genesect stared and crackled in anger as he asked. "Let me guess... responsible for Kalden and the other Silvally?"

Elio nodded as he calmed the Silvally down. The Genesect glared at the distance and raised its gun in preparation to fire; Elio and the Silvally stopped him. "Forget about that place. Soon as Isaac is settled back in I have something important to get done. There is one place that you would love to be in."

The Genesect calmed down and asked. "Where?"

The Silvally roared to a distant island with a snowy mountain as Elio helped with the answer. "Mount Lanakila!

There is the pokemon league, trainers gather to try and claim my title... none have succeeded!"

Elio's mother arrived on the shore glaring angrily at her son. "You were suppose to have came over the house by now! Oh my... who is this?"

Elio smiled as he saw his mother look in curiosity at the Silvally and his new friend. "Sorry about that Mom, I was trying to get Blattron introduced to Alola before I caught up on what happened. It seems he and Kalden are able to get along now."

Elio's mother smiled back and answered. "Aside from the things I said over the phone, things have been quite. Is it safe for me to pet your new friend?"

Elio frowned. "It is... but he isn't going to feel it."

Elio's mother began to gently pet and hug the embarrassed Genesect as the Silvally chuckled deeply. The Genesect asked. "Boss... is she always like this?"

Elio and the Silvally nodded in unison. "If it is a pokemon that she can approach with no problems... yes!"

Simultaneously.

Lillie flew to Aether to check and see if her brother was alright.

As she went to the conversation deck, she saw her mother turning around and calming down. "Lillie? It's good to see you back. How was your trip?"

Lillie smiled and answered. "Good mother, I managed to reach the finals at the world Championship..."

Lusamine smiled back. "I watched it a couple weeks ago. Breloom is a rather unique pokemon, I am sure next tournament would be better. I saw you in a couple pokestar films, they were impressive."

The mother and daughter struggled to keep the conversation going, Lillie asked. "What is wrong mother?"

Lusamine answered calmly and with a continued. "Nothing, just depression. It should not concern you."

Lillie was hesitate to leave. "I just want you to know that I am back on Alola. I'll be checking on a couple things before heading out." Lusamine waved goodbye to Lillie and went back to her business in a peaceful sigh. Lillie went down to the labs and caught up with Wicke and Gladion, nothing significant happened save for the things they knew so Lillie took her leave back to Kukui's to catch up.

At Elio's house.

He had the Genesect and Silvally called back in their balls after having a peaceful encounter with his mother. He returned to catch up with the Banette and Cofagrigus left to keep watch.

The Banette smiled as the Dex translated. "BZZT! Good to have ya back boss! No one broke in here and caused trouble. I kept myself entertained by playing with the plushies. I did visit your mother and I see where you learned how to cook! BZZT!"

Elio smiled, petted the Banette. "Got to learn this sort of thing once you are out on your own. Once Lillie comes back we should have a more lively welcome. Want to follow me still?"

The Banette leaped in Elio's arms ready to follow him as he descended to the basement to find the Cofagrigus giggling. "BZZT! Master, you returned! BZZT!"

Elio nodded as he double checked the hidden stash of gold nuggets, there were still many, but there seemed to be fewer. "I swear... Makuta are you sure no one stole anything?"

The Cofagrigus shrugged. "BZZT! No master, I don't know those valuable treasures are. BZZT!"

Elio glared in suspicion. "I am going to get a security camera soon for this basement. Because those are the only things missing and I want to know why!"

The Cofagrigus froze until he was sure Elio, the Banette left and Rotom left, when the coast was clear he took a half eaten nugget and began to much.

As Elio began to settle back down, Lillie came in the house and was greeted by a Banette that sensed the emotions of exhaustion. "BZZT Whats wrong mama? BZZT!"

Lillie smiled. "Nothing. Just a little tired, have you been good?"

The Banette smiled. "BZZT! Yeah... me and Makuta have been taking care of ourselves and keeping this house taken cared of. BZZT!"

The group of pokemon joined Lillie on the sofa; Elio sat down with his Gible and the Banette. As the two trainers began to watch the Ghost Eraser series, they cuddled up in preparation to end their day.
