In a lab at Aether Paradise, Wicke was busy sorting out some files. Ever since Gladion has returned from Kalos and recovered from a flu around two weeks ago: she was noticed the teenager was busy studying the various places in the world where a Lugia would naturally live in as well as preparing the Lugia he captured during his journey from Kalos. She was suspicious about why Gladion is spending his time at the house of the Alolan Champion Elio as of the past month, but she is stilling her tongue until Gladion was in the mood to speak of why.
FFFWOH!
The door opened, Gladion noticed Wicke was busy and calmly waited for her to finish putting the last file into a cabinet; the Chief Branch dusted herself and asked. "Master Gladion, is something a matter?"
Gladion nodded with a determined yet faded frown. "I'm going to take a boat to Johto to release Lugia, tell the others where I am at; I should be back before too..."
FFFFWOH!
The door opened to Elio rushing in to speak of something himself. "M...Me, Lillie and Hau found out what you are doing. We talked to the three birds if they wanted to be released back in the wild; they rather stay with us since as Dex worded it, we proved our worth! Gladion, do you mind me and Lillie coming with you?"
Gladion posed in annoyance. "You two have one hour to prepare. If you have someone going after your title around now then you are not going to be prepared!" Elio smiled. "I had the last of the Title Defense challengers beaten half an hour before I got here and Lillie is already packed up!"
Gladion frowned sharply knowing he is not going to shake company off and left in silence. Wicke sighed and asked Elio. "Are you sure it is a good idea to bother Gladion over this? It seems like something he wants to do alone."
Elio agreed. "I got some personal reasons to go to Johto and Lillie wanted to train Registeel more... something about a Totem Salazzle harassing him. When I told her, she thought it would be a good experience to help him bond with others more."
Wicke imagined the Registeel and Lillie walking together in the National Park. "Do you have other reasons?"
Elio had one he was willing to tell her. "Nathan needs more training, not many trainers wanted to fight me and he is still a Lairon. It should be a few battles before he becomes an Aggron, then I need to find a move tutor. I just need to pack up my bags and have the ghosts guard the house, I'm sure Gladion will let you know what else is happening."
Wicke gave a faint smile. "Have a safe journey!" Elio smiled back and prepared to take his leave.
At Hau'oli's marina.
Gladion finished purchasing his ticket; with the boat arriving in twenty minutes he was about to find some relief. "Have something else to do... please!"
Arriving to the marine is Lillie in her traveler form; a blue jacket hiding a black sleeveless turtle neck, azure jeans to match the jacket and a black cap she is adjusting in a determined smile as she was carrying a rather substantial amount of baggage with her left hand. "Johto's region is mostly forest and you never know what we will find!"
Gladion tried to ask. "Lillie, are you sure it's a good idea to go to Johto with me? It isn't that long of a trip."
Lillie puffed up her cheeks and placed her right hand at a hip. "There hasn't been anything to do during the past month other than keeping my pokemon trained. I heard Johto practices a tradition where you can take your pokemon out for a walk and it would be good exercise for Cain and the others!"
Gladion kept calm and countered the argument. "That might make the trip longer than expected, the only reason I am going to allow this is if Elio is able to actually get ready on my time and the clock is ticking to get a ticket!"
The door opened, Elio was in his usual wear except it was completed with black capri pants and a plain tee navy blue shirt; His baggage was only one stroller and a master ball. "I'm taking Little Horn with me. Lillie what sort of pokemon you have for emergencies?"
Lillie smiled at Gladion smug and answered Elio. "Isaac is coming with me."
Gladion knew that the two are on time and asked Elio. "What do you have to even do in Johto that would justify coming with me? If you expect it to be like Unova or Kalos... your going to be disappointed."
The opposing teenager knew his rival was trying to convince him that the trip was minor, Elio took out his Rotom Dex and showed a list. "Gladion, Lillie, do any of these sound irrational or diverting too much of our time?"
The siblings read the list; see Lugia go home, partake in the bug catching contest, catch something decent in the contest, train Nathan and get more apricorn balls. Gladion finished reading and answered in curiosity. "I'm not going to wait for you and the Whirl Islands is the first place I am going, also what are you going to do with those pokeballs?"
Elio answered the question first. "Keep them around for when a very special capture comes along. Lillie used those two fast balls for some impressive catches and some of those can be pretty good in a pinch, also Gladion, the Whirl Islands is surrounded by whirl pools! You need one of these."
Elio prepared a dive ball and sent out an large pink fish with strange hand like fins: known as Alomomola. It was flopping on the ground, bubbling a friendly hello as his trainer explained the details. "His name is Floats and he is one of the few pokemon I caught to fill the Dex that I haven't released into the wild because he is pretty good when I know a water pokemon nearby is in trouble. He can learn a move that you are going to need to clear the whirlpools! The move is called whirlpool!"
Gladion found it awkward and asked with an eyebrow raised. "How long were you preparing for this trip?"
Elio answered boldly. "You are pretty good at keeping things to yourself and I have been staying out of most of your personal issues. But I found it obvious you were organizing a trip yesterday when I saw you at the Pelago with Silvally and talking to Lugia."
Gladion remembered. "You were talking with Moltres, your Heatran and Kalden. I didn't think I spent that long or made it awkward."
Lillie saw the time and warned Elio. "We need to get our tickets if going is truly okay! Brother, is it okay?"
Gladion smiled in defeat. "I may have need to get to the islands after all! You better hurry before the tickets are gone!"
Elio called back the Alomomola back and joined Lillie in the ticket purchase; Gladion kept smiling until he noticed the two got their tickets and switched to a frown. "A longer trip still doesn't mean we will goof off in that region. No one home will mind otherwise?"
Lillie answered clearly as the boat was announced to arrive. "Since Elio finished his duties as champion; including filling in paper work that decides on whether the trials stay or not, it should be like you want it. A fast trip!"
