When Moon travels back to the Kanto region to start a new adventure and confront her past, she unknowingly stumbles into a prophecy that her father, a Kantonian scientist, was trying to protect her from. Now, it's up to her, Gladion, Hau, and her childhood friend, Green, to save Kanto from mass destruction. Meanwhile, Gladion struggles with his feelings for Moon, and whether or not she feels the same about him.
Will Moon save her home region, or will she fall victim to the burning memory of the face in the mirror? And can Gladion finally earn her love, despite it all?
And what does Sun, Moon's deceased brother, have to do with any of it?

This is a Moon X Gladion fanfiction, but with a twist. This takes place 5 years after Moon becomes Champion, making her, Lillie, and Hau sixteen. Gladion would be seventeen. It is based on the events of ULTRA SUN & ULTRA MOON, not Sun and Moon.

After an unspeakable incident with her mother, Lillie Aether is afraid of Pokémon to the point where she can't even touch most of them, except her trusted partner, Shiron. Now, she continues to fight her fear while learning at the Pokémon Trainer school at Melemele Island, in the Alola region, along with her friends.
Ash Ketchum, one of her friends, pledges to help her conquer this fear, as well as her shyness. But how far will it go?
Meanwhile, Gladion, Lillie's brother, is busy fighting Ultra Beasts and trying to avoid being brought home to the Aether Foundation. But when the number of UB sightings begins to rise, he plans to return to Lillie to protect her, gambling it all on a peppy girl named Moon to accompany him.
