A Warm Heart For Hoenn (Part 2)

The Sun Flute and the Moon Flute

Aether Paradise is amazing but I have to admit, the first time I went there left me in amazement mode for a while. Faba and the other guys working for Lusamine were of course freaking out and the moment we entered their little underground lab, me and the rest saw nothing but chaos.
It was such a disaster in here, I bet Kobe Bryant couldn't tackle a basketball through these people (quick A/N: our hearts are still broken. Rest In Peace Kobe and his daughter). Emolga and Sylveon were shuddering in fear and I felt her wrap her ribbons around my wrist. Lillie wasn't what I'd call a very confident person. I mean, she was but not tons confident. So it was up to me to settle these guys down and explain what we want.
And you know what that means:
"THUNDERBOLT GO!"
Yeah, Emolga totally let loose this time. Everyone in the room got electrocuted and looked at us as everything went silent.
"Listen guys," I began, "I know that you're totally freaking out right now because Lusamine went missing but we have an even bigger problem: Necrozma. I have a feeling it will show up. And we need to stop it.
"Guzma disappeared and so did Lusamine. Team Aqua is running loose all over and Team Skull is aimlessly walking around and moping through the towns and cities. It's a disaster, yes. Will we be able to handle it all at once? No. So that's why you guys need to take a deep breath, and chill. Just relax."
Everyone took my words in and nodded, calming down bit by bit. Lillie gave me a thank you expression and I smiled back like your turn now, champion. Nebby snuffled in her back pack and Snowy gave a squeak.
"Okay everyone, remember the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute?" She asked.
The scientists nodded and Faba said: "Where are you going with this?"
I heard Steven mutter "None of your business" and Kartana whirl in agreement. Faba of course turned into the scientist freak he is once he saw Kartana on Steven's shoulder then leapt up to take a closer look.
"IS THAT AN ULTRA BEAST?!" He gasped.
Steven looked a little startled by the sudden reaction but he nodded without a word and Kartana gave Faba the cold shoulder.
"It's...a...long...STORY!" Iris grunted, shoving his face away from Kartana a little.
"Now we were talking about the Sun and Moon Flutes," a guy at the back said.
"Yes, yes...right."
Classic Faba.
I'll cut details short by saying; the Flutes are in separate places. We needed to split up and it was going like this:-
-Me, Iris and Cilan (Unovian Trio).
-Steven, Lillie (ooooh) and Wally.
"So, it should be around here somewhere..." Cilan paused, looking around.
"Yeah probably," I said, "Emolga."
Emolga winked and took to the air. Steven and me were in touch through Rotom Phone and every once in a while, he'd tell me Wally got in trouble.
I'd panic, but then he'd tell me Wally's fine and that he took care of the situation. It went on like that five times in a row. I sat down on a rock next to Pansage and Sylveon, looking around.
"This is so pointless," I said to myself, "What if team Aqua got here before us?"
Ya know, you shouldn't always give up that easily.
The voice popping in my head was so sudden it made me feel like I wanna sit in my room next to Mom and hurl all day. Sylveon and Pansage noticed my worry and got up too.
Tapu Koko winked at me from the bushes and I mentally smacked my forehead. Why?
Would you freaking quit that? I thought to him.
That would ruin the element of surprise, he sent me a mental shrug and I rolled my eyes.
Yeah that's basically the point dude, I said, starting to smile at the thought.
Back to the point, both of us told each other in the same time.
I told you, you shouldn't give up that easily, see? He floated out of the way and a yellow Flute with the symbol of the sun on it was right infront of me.
"WHAT THE-? HOW DID YOU—?" I shut my mouth tight, forgetting that I was supposed to be speaking through my mind and completed, where did you find that?!
"Amy?! What's wrong? Why are you shouting? Are you in trouble?!" Cilan asked.
"SORRY! It's fine!" I yelled back, taking it from Tapu Koko, thank you.
Nah, I should thank you. Cosmeom will finally evolve and he'll protect the Alola from the coming Necrozma attack and maybe if Steven and Lillie believe in him much, he might just help you out with the Kyogre situation.
I nodded and thought about Solgaleo versus Kyogre. That would look pretty epic. I waved them over and Tapu Koko floated into the wood out of sight. Cilan and Iris took a moment of realization before they realized what I was holding.
"Hey ya found it!" Iris said after a while, spreading her arms.
"Yeah! And I have to admit, I got a little help from a special 'someone'."
I looked back at the woods hoping that Tapu Koko is still there. I called Steven and showed him what we found. They didn't have much luck though. They found nothing yet so we decided to go help them.
"How long till we...get there?" Cilan panted.
We were walking quite the distance and it was starting to really weigh down on us. A few Pokémon took curious looks at us but left eventually. Wonder what the fear was about? Ultra Beasts? Ultra Wormhole? Is it a Mythical Pokémon? Heh, yeah like any of these match a scary enough Pokémon.
And it was one we were very familiar with.
You guessed it.
Bewear.
And her Child obviously. I stopped cold and wondered if it can see me if I stand very, very, very, VERY still.
It turned the corner, it's Stufful in its arms and it caught sight of me. Obviously I was recognized which messed up my Dinosaur Tactics plan of standing still like a statue. It waved and I didn't respond, wondering if it might walk away. But it didn't. It just took pounding steps forwards towards me.
Iris was frozen in fear, Cilan had no idea what he was looking at and I was yet another Nitwit who had no idea what to do or how to act.
Emolga shuddered and I felt her fear.
It raised a fist in another hello and if it took no for an answer, it might bring it down and squash us.
My heart pounded and before I knew it, my legs went autopilot mode and I leapt up on its shoulder, using it as a jump pad and landed on a tree like Spider-Man. I launched off and took a running jump over a log, finding Cilan and Iris behind me. And Bewear too.
It's Stufful was laughing and I knew it wanted to see its mother crush us to bits.
Last thing on my bucket list was meet a Bewear.
Cilan was falling behind so I hit the breaks and slowed the Bewear down with Shock Wave, electrocuting it and partially paralyzing it.
Luckily, I got away with that by a hair.
"WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER WE'RE IN A NEW REGION, EVERYTHING IS TRYIN' TO KILL US?" Iris screamed.
"I ASK MYSELF THAT EVERY DAY!" I told her.
An Alolan Diglett popped out of the ground and I didn't have enough reaction time to stop. And so I tripped and fell to my face, making the other two fall on me. Emolga was panicking, trying to get us to move but I was way too exhausted to think straight.
Bewear raised a fist and I was ready to break a spine and die but everything stopped when Bewear lifted its attention to something else. The call of Tapu Koko.
I knew that he'd come. His surprise appearances is what makes him my favorite. Well, most of the time when he isn't being a stalker. Kartana blasted a tree infront of Bewear, startling it and making it lift a heavy fist and slam it away. Not Kartana. Steven's Kartana.
It whirled it's blades around and Bewear shrieked, holding Stufful up away from the blades and took off running.
Seriously, it was priceless. Something the size of your hand can scare something the size of a door with arms heavy enough to smash a bus to scrap with its tiny blades. You don't see that everyday do you?
"Guys!" Wally called.
"I'm so glad you aren't dead!" Lillie sighed, helping us up.
"Well, we are a walking danger zone," I shrugged.
"Yeah, sort of," Iris agreed.
Steven put his hand around my shoulder and I smiled up at him. Lillie sat on his other side and Cilan and Pansage took a moment to recover.
It was good I can see him here again with me.
"Did you find it?" I asked, my head on his shoulder.
"Lucky too, I tripped on it on my way here," he said with a laugh, kissing my forehead and holding up the Moon flute.
Phase one complete. Now for phase two.
