Pokémon Sun and Moon: Champion of the Stars

13. Danger's just around the corner (Po Town Part 1)

Narrator POV

Luma walked in the rain, the Grunts of Team Skull in front of her holding the little girl from Aether House's Yungoos captive. The fire in her eyes burned passionately. She was prepared to battle with a Pokeball in hand.

But just so we know why she is here,
lets go back to Tapu Village just a little before...

Luma's POV

Acerola, Hau and I had just defeated Plumeria and her rag tag gang of Team Skull Grunts, leaving Plumeria frustrated.

"Hmph! I can't even stand myself now... but I guess you are pretty tough... now I understand why my grunts waste so much time battling kids," she groaned.

"Ugh, That does it!" i said putting a hand on my hips.

"Hmm?" Plumeria replied.

"I'm tired of you guys picking on all these people, my friends and all the Pokémon!"

I point towards Plumeria and had an enraged expression on my face. Plumeria seemed to be smirking however from my actions.

"It's time you guys stop your little reign of terror and release all of the Pokémon you've captured! I won't have you guys picking on my friends, the people and Pokémon of this island!"

"Well, if you want us to return the Pokémon we took, then you'll have to come to us..."

Her smirk then disappeared as she made her way towards me and stopped inches at where I was standing and looked me in the eyes.

"Alone..."

I was a little shaken by the sudden turn of events and felt my heart beat out of my chest... that means Hau and everyone else had to stay behind... it'll be just me and my Pokémon... I raised my head and clenched my teeth.

"Luma go alone?! That insane! Her against all of you guys-"

"I'll do it," I interrupted Hau and looked at Plumeria, who smirked and nodded, backing away from me.

"I'll go... alone... but you can't ever lay a finger on my friends when I'm gone... understand?"

"Hmmph, see you at our base in Po Town. The boss is dying to meet you," she said and walked off, leaving my breath growing thin and everyone shaken up. I sighed and turned to Hau, who was frowning and looked down, muttering to himself.

Acerola on the other hand ran inside of the house shouting for concern. I realized that not only Lillie was there, but the kids too. I followed suit and witnessed the little girl with the boy crying and wailing.

"M-my Yungoos," she whined.

"We can't forgive this! Darn, those numbskulls actually did something pretty clever for once! We gotta do something..." Acerola said, looking at the child with concern...

"But if we want to get the Pokémon back, then Luma has to go to Po Town... all alone with no back up," Hau said with a somber tone and looked straight at me.

"Luma... I-I'm sorry, I couldn't protect them... it's my fault you have to go alone."

"Hey, don't be such a worry weedle. I said that I was going, didn't I?"
