(A/N. Who wants to see an unfinished rewrite??? No one? Oh well.)
Moon rushed over to Melemele Meadow in a hurry.
I'm late I'm late I'm late Gladion's gonna KILL me! She thought as she ran, dodging trainers and Pokémon at every step.
As she entered the meadow, she found Gladion and a few Aether Paradise workers talking amongst themselves.
"I'm here!" She exclaimed as she reached them, doubling over immediately after, "Here..." she wheezed.
"You're late." Gladion stated.
Moon fell to her knees, "Yeah...I just...Lana...Mallow...problem...ugh..." she wheezed, attempting to catch her breath.
Gladion offered her his hand, "Come on. Let's get started" he said. Moon blushed and took his hand and he helped her onto her feet.
Moon steadied her breath, "Okay."
"Rocky! Pom-Pom! Champion's throne!" Moon chirped, throwing her Pokeballs into the air.
A midday form Lycanroc and a pom-pom form Oricorio emerged from the Pokeballs. The Oricorio rushed to her trainer and jumped onto her shoulder, rubbing her face against Moon's. The Lycanroc immediately rushed in between Moon and Gladion, putting distance between the two and growling at the blond.
"Nice to see you too," Gladion told the rock type sarcastically.
Moon placed a hand on her Lycanroc's head and looked to Gladion, "So what's the deal?"
One of the Aether workers chimed up, "Well your Lycanroc here," he began, reaching to pet Rocky. The Pokémon attempted to bite the workers hand. The worker recoiled his hand and looked at Moon.
"Rocky doesn't like men..." Moon explained, "Sorry, I should've warned you."
"It's fine..." the worker said, unsure, "Anyways, Rocky is going to find the pack and attempt to convince them to let us move them to Vast Poni Canyon"
"And Pom-Pom?" Moon asked.
A female worker chimed in, "It's going to go into Iki Town," As she explained, she went to pet the Lycanroc at Moon's side, who happily let her, "and convince the other Oricorio to come back to the meadow once it's safe."
"If Rocky can't convince the Lycanroc to move by sunset, he should come back." Gladion added, "But I have full confidence that he will succeed."
Rocky rolled his eyes.
"Got it!" Moon chirped. She squatted down to be at eye level with her Lycanroc.
"Okay Rocky," she said, "Go look for that pack and convince them to let us relocate them. Okay?"
Lycanroc nodded.
"Good boy! Go ahead"
Lycanroc took off, stopping halfway to growl at Gladion when he noticed Gladion was a little too close to Moon for his liking.
"It's okay buddy!" Moon yelled, "I'll be fine!"
Lycanroc hesitantly ran into the grass and flowers of the meadow. After a few seconds, he was gone.
"Alright, move out." Gladion told the group.
"Wait, we're not staying?" Moon asked as the group turned to leave. Gladion stayed behind with Moon as the Aether workers left the meadow.
