Chapter 2

I'm still binge writing so that means another chapter for this here new book!
____________________________________

       It was Rei that woke her up from her sleep. The dusk form Lycanroc nuzzled her face with its snout until she let him know that she was awake by petting him behind the ears. Yet another normal day at her home, Aether Island.

        Yes, that's right. (Y/n) found that working with the pokémon there was quite refreshing and she was now a member of the organization in a way.

       Although she had never truly made it official, (y/n) had her own Aether themed outfit and even subordinates. Most of the time, (y/n) worked with Wicke and even traveled to the different places that Aehter had influenced. Today, though, (y/n) was taking an off day. She had already told Wicke ahead of time and planned on spending the day at the beach with Lillie, Hau, and Sun.

       As (y/n) got ready for her day of relaxation, she couldn't help but think of a certain friend of hers that she hadn't heard from in a couple of months. He'd have sent a letter by now and although (y/n) had already sent him a letter each month, he still hadn't replied.

        It would be four years since he left if she counted the day that he left. (Y/n) brushed the matter aside though. Gladion could handle himself and had made it clear in his previous letters. He seemed to be enjoying himself in his travels. Suddenly, a knock came at (y/n)'s door.

        "Who is it?" she called as she put on her hat and bag. A trainer such as herself was never complete without the two items.

        "It's Wicke. I know you had plans for today but the president has requested your assistance today. She says that it's urgent," Wicke said through the door. (Y/n)'s bright mood dulled a bit at the news.

         "That's okay, Wicke. Tell the others that I'll meet up with them later on and I'll be right out to meet with the president," (y/n) said. She wasn't going to let a change of plans completely ruin her day. (Y/n) didn't bother to change into her usual Aether themed outfit and decided to just go as she was, a typically strong trainer.

        "Come on Rei, let's go," she said to her Lycanroc who gave her a cheerful yip in response.

       (Y/n) only had three pokémon if Nebby wasn't included. The cosmic pokémon was gifted to her by Lillie after the incident all those tears ago but instead of keeping Nebby confined in a pokéball, (y/n) decided to let Lunala roam the Alola region. Lunala always returned once night settled in and sometimes even spent the whole day with her.

        On those days, (y/n) would go traveling through the ultra wormholes that Lunala created but no one knew about this except Wicke who promised not to tell.

       "Miss President, you called?" (y/n) asked once arriving in the president's office. Lusamine was there in her chair waiting for her.

        "Yes, I did. There's something that I need for you to do. A pokémon at the Aether House needs to be transported here and I need for you to transport that pokémon here safely. You are the best in the feild when it comes to dealing with matters like these and this particular pokémon isn't very fond of humans from what I'm told," Lusamine said. A simple mission such as this one wouldn't take much time at all! (Y/n) would be back in no time.

         "Oh and please don't fly back with this pokémon. High altitudes have caused panic in the past and we can't have that happening again," Lusamine said with a smile. (Y/n) could have sworn that the president almost smirked. It could have been very possible since (y/n) was sure that Lusamine did not like her.
