The Rise of Team Skull, chapter 4: Saving Grace

This is a story that goes through Guzma’s backstory, from childhood to fairly close to Sun and Moon’s canon.

This is the final chapter. Thanks to everyone who’s read through it!

---

Guzma exited the town hall, hands in his pockets and forcing his usual grin. The two grunts he’s brought along for moral support were waiting for him.

“Did you get it, boss?” the male grunt asked eagerly.

“Nah,” Guzma replied, beginning to walk away from the building as the others followed, “But that’s fine. If they’d given it to me, I woulda thrown it right back in their faces, cuz while I was on my journey, I came up with an even better idea to get Team Skull back in business. It’s not like I wanted to spend all day herding island challengers anyways. My love is crime. My love is Team Skull. This journey gave me the strength to be the best leader ever. And,” Guzma threw a wad of cash at the grunt, “good trainers make decent money while on their journeys. Once we’re home, why don’t you take everyone living in the Shady Chateau somewhere else? I wanna be alone for the night.”

“Including Plumeria?”

“Especially Plumeria. And here, take these for the night, too.” Guzma handed the grunt his five pokéballs.

“Whatever you say, boss,” the grunt said with some concern in his voice. “Can I ask ‘bout the idea?”

“I’ll tell ya tomorrow,” Guzma promised, pretending not to notice her concern. He knew it wasn’t like him to want to be alone, especially if he was as confident as he was acting about his new idea.

“Oh, and you-” Guzma said to the female grunt.

“Yeah, boss?”

“Steal all their buginium Z. They won’t be usin’ it anyways.”

Guzma couldn’t come up with an idea on the boat ride home, and so it brought him some anxiety when the two grunts started spreading the word about it the second they were in Po Town. Guzma brushed off his team’s words of condolence and questions about the idea as he got to the Shady Chateau, and once everyone was out of it, he locked it. Thankfully he didn’t run into Plumeria. She wouldn’t have bought his bluff.

The clock in the entry hall read six pm. What time would Team Skull demand to know what the idea was? Noon? Later? He had somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four hours to figure out how to keep his team together.

Guzma paced the upstairs hallways for hours, trying to come up with something. The Shady Chateau was so gloomy without anyone in it. Guzma had had a lot of good times there with his friends, but looking at it now, with its graffitied walls and broken glass on the filthy floors? It just made him feel more like a failure who’d brought a bunch of people down with him. If he’d just done what Plumeria said and let her go in his place, she wouldn’t have screwed everything up and their problems would be solved.

“What is wrong with you!?” Guzma screamed as he picked up a heavy box and chucked it. It hit the chandelier, which fell onto the stairway and shattered. Of course it did. As Guzma stood there, his body heaving and his fists curled as he panted and shook from emotion, he heard a delicate knock at the door. With some effort, Guzma pulled himself together and answered it.

In the doorway was a beautiful woman: tall, immaculately dressed, and with well-kept platinum blonde hair coming down to her thighs. What someone like that was doing in Po town was a mystery.

“Who the Hell are you?” Guzma grumbled.

“Alola,” the woman began, giving Guzma a wave and a sunny smile. Many well-off women might be intimidated by a tall, burly, and clearly enraged young man, but she evidently wasn’t. “I’m Lusamine, president of the Aether Foundation. I saw your failure to get instated on TV. You’re obviously a very powerful trainer, you run a very loyal little group here, and I hate that they’re denying you what you deserve. I’ll tell you what: what if I pay you to send some of your members off to do the Aether Foundation’s dirty work? We could even help you with your power grid as a bonus. What do you say?”

“Deal,” Guzma answered hastily. Not like he could afford to be choosy.

Lusamine seemed a little taken aback that it was that easy. “You don’t want to talk about the details or anything?”

“Sure, give me the details.”

“Well,” Lusamine began, “there’s a leader of Ula’Ula I could negotiate with to get your utilities turned back on. Once they’re on, I’ll start sending you your orders through video call. Don’t communicate with me any other way, and don’t record anything- we’ll be keeping this under the table. I’ll pay you by the task. I can’t guaruntee that I’ll have enough work for your team to live off of, but you’ll have the utilities for free unless you quit or I have to replace you. Is that a deal?” Lusamine’s unnervingly pleasant smile didn’t match the words coming out of her mouth.

“Yeah. Yeah, sounds good.”

“Good! Is anyone else home tonight? Your home looks a little, well...” Lusamine trailed off.

“No one’s home.”

“Perfect.” Lusamine walked past him. She looked around a bit, found a closet with some cleaning supplies, and started sweeping up dirt and broken bottles. For a moment, Guzma could only watch in confusion. “It’s so nice that disadvantaged kids have found a place here. I bet for a lot of you, it’s your first real family, isn’t it?” Lusamine mused.

“Uh.” Guzma was torn. On one hand, he didn’t want to risk upsetting his only way to improve Team Skull’s living conditions, and free cleaning wasn’t the worst thing in the world. On the other hand, something about this woman skeeved him out, and her attempt at buttering him up couldn’t be more transparent. “Leave the spray paint, okay? We like it. Or actually, let me get something straight: we don’t need a mom, ‘kay? I’m taking good care of these guys.”

Lusamine put aside the broom. “Oh, of course. They’re so lucky to have a big man like you to help them. You’ve clearly been very strong and responsible for them. Should I be going, then?” It was as though a switch had been flipped between her viewing Guzma as a child desperate for mothering to viewing him as a man desperate for praise.

“Yeah, if you want.”

“Okay. I’ll call you at eight pm the day your power comes back on,” Lusamine said. Then, she left.

Guzma closed the door and shuddered. Something about that woman wasn’t right. But the praise had felt nice, and clearly she meant some of it if she was letting his team do her dirty work. At least they’d mostly be communicating over video.

The lights came on the next morning: a perfect way for Guzma to show his team that he wasn’t bluffing when he said their lives were about to get a lot better. That night, Guzma received his first order from Lusamine: someone had seen something in the Aether Foundation they weren’t meant to, and Lusamine wanted Team Skull to track him down and erase his memories using a psychic type. Other methods of silencing him were to be avoided except as a last resort. It was certainly a crime beyond anything Guzma had done before, but so long as they avoided that “last resort,” he was cool with it, and the one million poké reward money didn’t lie. It wasn’t ideal, but Team Skull was back in business.

Guzma babysitting Reader’s Niece

(A/N): BACK ON MY BULLSHIT AGAIN! BUT THIS TIME IT’S NOT ALL THAT SELF-INDULGENT AND MIGHT POSSIBLY BE TURNED INTO A SUPER FIC IF I FEEL LIKE IT

In all honesty i’ve thought about making another largeass super self-indulgent Guzma x Reader mega fic, but I’m not sure if I want to? I don’t know if anybody would read it, so that’s what this post is for!!! If you like this and want to see actual Guzma x Reader with plot and not just fluff drabbles lmk!! I have a bunch of asks to address so maybe i’ll get to that too soon

Anyways, back to the fic.

Mini Summary: (Y/N)’s niece needs to be babysat while (Y/N) is interviewed, so they turn to Guzma and crew to help out for a bit. Chaos ensues.

Rating/Triggers: UH drugs are mentioned but not really? THE KID DOES NOT DO DRUGS!!!! but yeah if that makes you uncomfy i’d be careful with it??\

Pairing: Guzma/Gender Neutral!Reader (I used the honorific ‘Titi’ which is gender neutral for ‘Tia’ or ‘Tio’ [extra thanks to Ocha_Bocha for helping me with that one <3] and tried to make it as gender neutral as possible. Originally this was written with a male reader, and then I went female, and ultimately attempted to eliminate gender completely. [Following the footsteps of Splatoon teehee])

Fic under cut!!!!!

"Are you sure this is a good idea, honey?" You clutch your niece's hand as you approach the large walls that separate Po Town from the rest of Ula'Ula Island. It's not that you don't trust the man who you're leaving her with- in fact, those two have been acquainted previously and seem to get along fairly well- It's his friends who you're concerned about.

"..." Her silence is expected, as the kid isn't all that talkative. Recognizing the young girl's silence, you frown.

"You can stay in the office lounge if you really want to. I know you aren't the biggest fan of crowds, and um- Guz has some pretty loud friends-" Your explanation of what to be expected is quickly interrupted by a blue haired young man decked in black and white clothing. "Yo yo, what's with the kid?!"

You arch a brow. You knew that Guzma worked with kids, but this guy couldn't be any older than 15! "I could say the same for you. I'm here to talk to Guzma-"

"Ya mean the boss? Why would some random chick want anything ta do with the leader of the Team Skull, huh?!"

A pink haired girl dressed in the same outfit walks up to the boy, crossing her arms. "Shut it, ya clod. Don't you remember the conversation we had with Boss yesterday?"

Hearing this, the blue haired boy's eyes light up in an epiphany. "Ohhhhh shit- Right-"

"Watch yer fuckin' language around the kiddo." She lightly smacks the back of Dansei's head. "She's in good hands, ma'am."

Another pink haired woman, this one being someone you finally recognize, walks in and smacks both of the delinquents in the head once more. "You say that after cussing, Reese?"

Thank God. Plumeria. "Hey Plumes-" You smile weakly, waving politely with your free hand. Your niece does the same. Another young man, this one much shorter than the first and with green curly hair scrambles after Plumeria, jumping up and down to be seen. "Sorry about these numskulls. I'll lead y'all to the big boss man, yo. No worries at all, so you can chillax!"

I'm regretting this more and more by the second.

The crew starts whistling some hip hop tune as they make their way to the Shady House, the smaller boy beatboxing. You've taken this time to offer a piggyback ride to your niece, who's politely declined. Are all kids like this? Or is it just her?

Once they approach the boss, Guzma immediately jumps out of his chair, his signature shit-eating grin plastered on his face. "Eyyyyyy! (Y/N)!!! Kiddo!! What's up, homeslice?!" He hops down the stairs and crouches so he can get at eye-level with the young girl, offering his fist for a pound-it.

She bumps her fist against his, smiling just a bit. It's more of a reaction than you expected, at least. "S-sup, Uncle Guzma-"

Looks like his slang is rubbing off on her. That's cute.

"Thanks for droppin' by, Doll. No need to worry about Little Miss Troublemaker over here, I got it all under control." He picks up your niece and walks over to you, pressing a looooooooongass smooch on your cheek. The other Team Skull members all make mini comments, like "Ewwww-", "Grosss-", and "Cooties-", causing Plumeria to once again smack their heads together.

You roll your eyes, unable to stop the smirk on your face from growing any further. "Not in front of the kids, Guz." "Ah, right, right- My bad." His shades slide onto his face, hiding the bright red blush that had crept onto his cheeks. "Well, you should probably get goin', ey? The Aether Foundation's one lucky company to have you interviewin' for a position."

"Dork." You boop his nose, then your niece's. "Call me if you need me, okay honey? I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay, Titi (Y/N)-" You smile at the nickname while the others snicker. 'Titi' sounds an awful lot like 'Tittie', and considering three of the 7 people in the room are immature teenagers, there's definitely some laughing going on in the background. Plumeria looks very tired. How does she deal with these kids all the time?

"Alright, I'll be back. Don't light anything on fire, okay?" You yell as you walk off, feeling a slight hint of unease at the idea of leaving your young niece with so many delinquents, even if it's just for a few hours. It'll be fine, though. Guzma's there to keep them from doing anything stupid.

You laugh at the thought. Who am I kidding? He's probably gonna be the one who explodes something first.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The interview itself wasn't all that bad. You're fairly certain that you either aced it or put yourself up for consideration, which in itself helped your confidence just a bit. With the absence of Lusamine and the arrest of several of her chairmen, the foundation was very antsy and in need of someone who could handle the Pokemon Observation department. With your background in medicine and PR, you were rationally on the list of potential replacements, and despite your initial resistance, learning that the company would be run by somebody that WASN'T the manipulative little bitch Lusamine gave you enough comfort to accept the offer for the interview. Was it just an offer or an invitation? You weren't quite sure, but Wick was very insistent on you showing up.

Either way, you're pretty certain you got the job. Good on you.

You can't help but wonder how your niece is doing, surrounded by so many troublemakers. As you make your way to the entrance of the Shady House, you can hear loud music, causing you to feel a small tint of anxiety. She'll be fine.

You walk up to the door and creak it open, the smell of burnt… whatever the fuck that is flooding your nostrils. Of course. They lit something on fire.

"Guz??" You call out to the empty room. "Plumes? Anybody home?" As expected, there's no response. You start to feel more and more anxious the more ground you start to cover. Where are they? Peeking your head around the corridor, your anxiety comes to its peak when-

"And that's why you should never do drugs, aight?"

H-Huh?

Your niece sits on Guzma's knee as he bounces it up and down, his signature shit-eating grin plastered on his face like usual. Awfully burnt cookies sit on the table, explaining the smell from earlier, and Plumeria seems to be asleep with the other team skull grunts. Are they… napping? Seems like it.

She nods enthusiastically, taking a bite of a charred cookie and grimacing shortly after, causing the two to both laugh in unison.

"Doesn't matter if it's just for recreational purposes, you could still get hooked, and that's the last thing we want!" Grinning once again, Guzma pokes her forehead.

Hypocrite. You're reminded of the first time you two had kissed, which happened to be shortly after you both had blazed a couple of joints. It's enough to get you laughing, though.

"Huh?! What're you doing here so early? Don't tell me ya flunked THAT bad!" Guzma's eyes widen, a genuine look of bewilderment painted on his face.

"I did not flunk! I think I did great!" You huff, crossing your arms defiantly. "It's suuuuuuuper comforting that you thought I failed, Guz."

"Nononono I was joking!! Right, kiddo??" Your niece quickly nods. "See???? No harm, no foul!"

Arching a brow, you walk up to the two and pick up the young girl. "Mhmmm. Did you have fun, honey?"

She nods again, unable to contain the grin on her face. "Uncle Guzma told me about his Pokemon training! And I got to ride on Golisopod's back!"

The large bug type pokemon bops up and down upon hearing its name, prompting a smirk from Guzma. "Yeah, I told ya I'd take care of her. She's welcome back anytime, okay?"

"Thanks, Guz." You peck his cheek, and your niece sticks her tongue out, closing her eyes.

"Icky cooties!!" Where the hell did she hear that? The only people you can think of who'd say such a thing are in the other room snoozing, so- Yeah, actually, you know exactly who taught her that word.

"Well, I'm gonna getchu with my cooties! And my tickles!" You raise a hand menacingly, wiggling your fingers with one eye closed. She immediately curls up, not out of fear, but out of excitement. It's nice to see her so happy again.

After a very long tickle session, you quickly glance at the large grandfather clock, noting the short hand of the clock slowly approaching the number 8. Shit. "We gotta go, kiddo. Your dad isn't gonna be all that happy if we get home any later than 8:30. Besides, it's past your bedtime."

"I bet Uncle Guzma stays up past his bedtime-" She yawns. "Can we stay for a little longer?"

How can I say no to that face? You find yourself incredibly conflicted. Do you tell her you have to leave anyways? Or do you stay and risk getting in trouble by your brother-in-law?

"Eh, as much as I'd love to have you over for longer, kiddo- Look at your Titi (Y/N). They look exhausted."

You smile gratefully at the comment, glad that it doesn't have to be you to tell your niece to go home. "Yeah, I'm beat. We can hang out some other time, okay? I promise." You pat her head and get ready to leave.

"Aww… okay. Bye, Uncle Guzma!! Bye Golisopod!" She holds your hand, and the two of you eventually walk your way back to the car. As you drive away, one thing lingers in your head. You can't think of anything else, in all honesty.

Guzma's great with kids. I should've expected as much, but… I'm glad he gets along with my family.

Your stomach rumbles at the intersection. I'd kill for some malasadas right about now-

Okay, maybe you CAN think of something else.

Chapter Twelve: In which I accidentally do three chapters worth of things all at once

Rules: https://dontfindyourcenter.tumblr.com/post/177027661290/rules

Previous Chapter: https://dontfindyourcenter.tumblr.com/post/177618516610/chapter-11-running-on-empty

Konikoni City seems to exist just to taunt me for putting in that rule about not being able to exchange money for items. All around me are shops for TMs, incense, herbs, even evolutionary stones and fossils. It all makes me feel very hard done by. The fact that only half of these items would actually be useful to me is irrelevant to this feeling. Anyway, Olivia’s Probopass hands me a note telling me that I’m to pop over to the Ruins of Life and meet Olivia there. Is there any reason Olivia couldn’t have told me this a few minutes ago, when I saw her at the other end of Diglett’s Tunnel? I guess she just wanted me to say hello to her massive-nosed pokemon. Fair enough; it can’t have many pals with a nose like that.

I swear to god, the closer to full health my party has, the faster my pokemon get hurt. It’s like a really depressing version of osmosis. Case in point; on my way through Memorial Hill, a little old lady fights me with a comfey, which - through a combination of the moves wrap and sweet kiss - manages to bring Hedwig from full health down to seven HP. Seven! I had to use my first ever hyper potion just to keep my strongest pokemon from fainting against a bloody flower crown! What’s that about? Side note: this battle made me think the phrase “lei’d to rest”, and I’m very angry about this.

At the end of Memorial Hill, we meet Aether Branch Chief Faba, the one member of the Aether Foundation that the game doesn’t even begin to pretend is a goodie. Total creep, this guy. He’s in an argument with a couple of Team Skull Grunts, and frustratingly, I’m not allowed to join forces with Team Skull and beat him up. Instead, I have to fight the Alolan Raticate of one of the Grunts, and it’s actually a surprisingly strong one. I even have to use a revive after it gets a critical hit against Mr Nancy the araquanid. Luckily, Digit Al the magnemite finishes it off, and gets promoted to Digit Al the magneton as a result. Score!

Now we’re in Akala Outskirts, where I pick up a T.M. for Leech Life, a very useful move indeed for Mr. Nancy, especially since it takes the strain off those healing items I’m running so low on. I mess around for a little while making him use the move against anyone who comes too near, until he’s back on full health for the Grand Trial. Lovely.

Before the Grand Trial, though, is a battle I’d clean forgotten about; Team Skull Admin Plumeria wanders up and tells me to stop beating up her teammates, who she quite correctly points out are cute and as dumb as rocks. I absolutely adore the fact that her title is “Team Skull Admin”, by the way. I just have this image of her being really pissed off on a laptop at the back of Team Skull’s base in Po Town, performing mind-numbing data entry tasks while the rest of the team are having a whale of a time trying to eat tide pods and suchlike.

Plumeria is tough, but not too tough. Digit Al beats her golbat and Donna the marowak beats her salandit. Her team beaten, Plumie admits that I’m strong, but warns me not to mess with the Skulls again. Why do recurring characters in pokemon games always wait until after they’ve proven that they can’t beat you before warning you not to do something? How much of a threat do they really think that sounds like?

Now we’re finally at the Ruins of Hope, and Lillie and Burnet come and heal my pokemon. Such a lovely pair. Burnet does that thing I mentioned last chapter where she overcompensates by loudly asking what the Masked Royal looks like under “that mask.” Interesting that she doesn’t assume male pronouns, no? Burnet is definitely suspect number one, imho.

And it’s time to face the big Kahuna! Olivia - oh I get it, she’s called Olivia because olives have stones in them! That’s cute - sends out a nosepass first, which is quickly dispatched by Mr Nancy with a couple of Bubblebeams. Next is her midnight lycanroc, who Digit Al beats with a Mirror Shot or two. Third we have a boldore, who Hedwig beats with a Grass Knot and a Razor Leaf, and… oh. That’s it. Not much for a grand trial, was it? Slightly less grand than every single regular trial on the island, frankly. She should have sent out a bloody comfey, they cause me way more trouble.

Shan’t complain though - I get a rock z-crystal and a stamp in my passport out of it, and now that there’s no more plot left to uncover on the island, I’ve been invited to go to the Aether Foundation and meet Lusamine. It’s very exciting to meet the worst mum in a series of games full to the brim of mothers who kick their children out of their houses at age 10.

I do make a quick pit stop in Konikoni City before going there, though, because I know that now that I’ve beaten Olivia, I can have a battle with Trial Captain Lana. It’s a fun one, too - since Lana has a chinchou (which resists electric types) and an araquanid (which resists grass types), there are no pokemon types with an advantage against all her pokemon, which always makes for a more dynamic match. Olivia could really learn a thing or two from her. Anyway, Hedwig beats the chinchou, Digit Al beats the shellder and Wash just barely survives a Hydro Vortex from the araquanid in order to beat that, too, and that’s the end of that.

I would have gone up against Mallow as well, but as I’ve never played Pokemon Moon before, I don’t know where to find her and don’t really care enough to find out. Instead, I take that trip to Aether Paradise that that one evil guy offered me earlier. Bye, Akala island! Thanks for only killing two of my pokemon while I was on you!

When we arrive on Aether Paradise, Faba tells me that I will not be able to use any of my Poké Balls within Aether Paradise, since a jamming signal is broadcast throughout the facility to prevent them from functioning. This makes no sense at all; he’s just told me that the Aether Foundation develop poke balls on site, and while I’m no expert, I’m pretty sure it would be nearly impossible to invent something in a building where that specific thing can’t do anything. And sure enough, he’s almost immediately proved wrong; the second that a Nihilego comes through an ultra wormhole and attacks me upstairs, I’m able to send out my pokemon from my poke balls to defend myself with no problem whatsoever. Hey Faba, is your name Selena Gomez? Because you’re a Bad Liar. ...No, I know your name’s Faba, it’s a… I was referencing the 2017 hit song, Bar Liar, which was sung by… actually I don’t think her music is as bad as you’re making it out to... oh, forget it.

I beat the Nihilego with a couple of bonemarangs from Donna. Fun fact: throughout this word document, the words “Digit Al” have been underlined every time I’ve written them to tell me that I’ve misspelled them, but the word “bonemarangs” has been accepted as a completely legitimate word. Alrighty then.

At this point, I was going to save the game, so that I could be prepared to travel to the next island on a completely fresh chapter. That didn’t end up happening, though; I had to button-mash my way through heavy foreshadowing about Lusamine’s villain turn later in the game, get given a T.M. for psychic by Branch Assistant Wicke, watch a weird cutscene of Hau eating his food really excitedly, AND beat Hau in a pokemon battle, all before I was given the chance to take a breather and save the game. When I finally got out of the waiting room, my doctor wasn’t remotely amused.

(The Hau battle went fine, by the way. Donna, Hedwig and Nina beat his raichu, brionne and flareon without any real trouble. He also healed my team both before and after the fight. Do you expect anything else from Hau by this point?)

End of chapter twelve.

Departure

One morning, Trainer Aoi Tategami and her Mimikyu (who is not in her Pokeball) were discharged from the Pokemon Center. Her foot was recovered from last night's Po Town escape and had all of the Z-Crystals... Except for one more from the Kahuna. While the trainer was on her way to the dock, Officer Nanu and his feline Pokemon met up with Estelle and Peko, which the two women were waiting for Aoi to arrive.

"Such noise last night. Acerola seems to be enjoying your company. But before your trainer arrives. I want to ask... What are your real reasons for coming to this humble little region. I'm sure you are not here to really mess with Team Skull, or the remains of them."

Estelle remains silent. She is in her human form, which she is conflicted if Nanu can detect her being a Pokemon or a human. Her look "screams" Pokemon in costume form. When Aoi finally arrives, she and Mimikyu were stopped when seeing Nanu.

"...And you came. I'm the Island Kahuna. If you have done both challenges, then I am sure you need to defeat the Kahuna to get your stamp. But... Let's change things a bit. I want to see you defeating me with your first Pokemon. I herd rumors that your buddy is not the same kind of species. Also, no more hiding. Acerola seems to be non-stop talking about you and your morphing Pokemon. Its quite normal for me these days if its day by day dealing with Team Skull. So let's see your best."

Estelle and Peko look at each other. It seems Ilima ain't the only Captain that knows this. Without refusing, Estelle walks towards Aoi with a glare in sign that the humanoid Meowstic is willing to listen to most of Aoi's commands since she got nearly all of the Z-Crystals for high level Pokemon to obey out of respect.

"... This man is not fooling around." said Estelle to Aoi. "Sir Nanu, I imagine you pester to much about Aoi's friend, Ilima. Now that you know that I'm some urban legend come to life, there's no holding back fighting in this form. I am STILL a Pokemon after all." she spoke calmly but in a serious tone to the officer.

Nanu gave a grin. "Heh. I like your confidence. But can you be sure your partner co-ops with you, missy?"

Aoi gripped both fists and knows what to do. She hands Estelle the Ghostrium-Z Crystal!

"Hey Estelle! Let's show something very different for once!" says the trainer. The humanoid Meowstic gave a small grin while staring at the crystal, and accepts the item (while returning the Leftovers back to Aoi's hand by tossing it). "I like your plan. It will be risky. Be wise of my substitution." said Estelle.

Peko and Alice walk over behind Aoi, whispering if they should battle. Nanu interups. "Hey you two. As much I would like to see you in action, that cat here is over-leveled. Best if she gets the spotlight for once?" Peko and Alice look at each other, then attempt to scoot away so Aoi and Estelle are the only ones at the open space. Peko serves as referee.

"Okay! The Pokemon match between Island Kahuna of Ula'Ula Island, Officer Nanu, and trainer Aoi Tategami will begin! Due to a single brawl-out, you will only choose one Pokemon! Do you agree, Officer Nanu?"

The old man show no emotion, but he nods. "Yes. No shocker, but I have been secretly training after Po Town tones down. So show me your Z-Move surprise." he says. Aoi raises her fist, showing hype and speaks out loud! "Ahh yes! We will show you how much we improoved as trainer and Pokemon!"

Peko nods. The two challengers are ready. "Alright then! Let the battle begin!"

[BGM: Island Kahuna OST]

Estelle morphs back into her Pokemon form, with the Z-Crystal pinned onto her fur like a pendent. Nanu bought out his trusted Pokemon: A Alolan Persian!

"Alright Estelle! Calm Mind!-"

"Persian, use Fake Out!"

Nanu was quick on his move. Fake Out is a priority move that damages a little, but made Estelle flinch on her first turn!

"Guh!" the Meowstic even flinches in vocals!

"Its weird to see Pokemon talk, but that would be nice, right? Anyway, Persian use Dark Pulse!"

Estelle wanted to do that one move, but Aoi quickly went for a safer option. "Estelle, use Substitute!" Being a priority move as well, the feline Pokemon quickly made a Pokedoll version of herself in front of Persian, to which the picky cat Pokemon had a urge to scratch it! Nanu knew that this would be a nuisance, even though it is not as worse as dealing with a Mimikyu or Minior.

"Power Gen the dummy, Persian!" he commands, and the feline Pokemon did just that, busting the doll into dust bits! Its Aoi's turn now and she activates her Z-Move with the dance Acerola taught her.

"Rawr!! Never-Ending Nightmare!!!"

The battlefield then turns dark, covered in purple fog, and the Persian spooks out, seeing a drenched long-haired woman, to which it was Estelle in her human form! "Kehehe..." Nanu had no way escaping this, since Z-Moves are far to powerful and massive that even Protect wouldn't work! The Persian was covered in many ghost-like arms, inflicting lots of damage! "MMRROOWW!!!"

Even if the Persian was KO'ed, Nanu walks over to comfort his Pokemon. "You did good..."

"And the winner is Trainer Aoi! Congrats!"

Nanu grins. He knows he's going to loose anyway to a OP Pokemon, but he seems to appreciate the effort both he and Aoi had put through like a show. He returns his Persian into its Pokeball and walks over to Aoi. "Hey kid. You did good. Its no shocker, but unlike the trainers who only sweeps my Pokemon, you took some time to show your stuff. Plus Acerola told me that you have never used a Z-Crystal in your life. Glad you have fun with it. Heres something for your dark type Pokemon." said Nanu, walking close and handing Aoi the Darkrium-Z Crystal. "Oh, and here's how you activate the Z-Crystal." he said, posing his dance moves for Aoi to remember.

"Not hard. Thanks sir! Also can you stamp my passport?" she asks. Nanu did not say anything, and did as told, bringing out his rubber stamp and places a mark on her fourth page of her passport. "Here you go. Now you are free to sail off. Your final destination is Poni Island, which should be fairly easy. Just one captain and one Kahuna. I believe its still trying to stabilize itself to be a fully running series of challenge. You... Can figure out more when you get there."

Aoi nods,but all smiles end when her body was shaken by Peko's hands! "HHEEYY!! Master! If you want to have a tour of Aether Foundation, then let's get going! I had work soon too you know!" The trainer got back her balance and picks up both Pokeballs to return Estelle and Alice back to their "shelter space". Only Peko remains out since she had to keep her disguise as a Aether Foundation employee! The trainer and her friend sprints off to the small motor boat, with Nanu behind giving one final grin before leaving them and returns back to his office.

Peko's captain starts the motor of the boat and begin to sail to Aether Foundation. Peko herself was hoping that her Admins can house a trainer (and herself) into their facility since they have nowhere to rest (and herself due to the threat of Ratatas and Radicates).

My Pokemon Moon Adventures Part 22: Shit Grunts Say Part B (January 10, 2017)

Moar shit sayings = a happy trainer

Today we continue on with taking down Team Skull by casing the entire shady house. My team rode through all the battling grunts and fought their hardest battle to date... Guzma and his Golisopod, but we had to do so by giving three passwords and say no. Our observations:

Can someone tell this incomplete grunt that his level 35 Salandit WILL NOT evolve? Sabrina also wants him for a reverse harem (my Salazzle is hilarious tbh)

One grunt outside is hot? Bruh, it’s raining.

Another grunt is passed out drunk, probably dead

A female grunt says Guzma is too strong for a Z-Ring (but then he wouldn’t be able to activate Bugnium Z)

Two girl grunts arguing over a t-shirt (and their names are all grunts anyway, so good shit on breaking the 4th wall)

I did not expect a grunt to use a long word such as cosmopolitan when he walked out the door this morning. He also asked about tastes

A grunt asking if I had an invitation AFTER saying that I didn’t have one (and he also lost the passwords lol)

One girl isn’t getting dates anytime soon unless she finds a guy who also loves dates in the rain

Finally it was time to take on ya boi Guzma. Highlights:

It’s not everyday he gets asked for a beating

I’m not here for him. I’m here for the president Yungoos. And his ass.

Guzma bets that he can’t fix me (he won that bet)

His Golisopod actually used First Impression (Victoria avoided it last time)

“Guzma, what is wrong with you!”

He scared the grunt in his room to give back the president Yungoos

I got Bugnium Z in the end

I also got to be the queen for a few moments for a cutscene

After getting the president Yungoos back, Nanu was waiting for us outside, along with Acerola. She and the president Yungoos went back to the Aether House and they lived happily ever after, right?

WRONG! When we entered the house, Hau was upset that Lillie was taken. Several hours earlier, while we were defeating trainers, Lillie went willingly with Plumeria and one of the grunts. Gladion was understandably upset that his sister (yes, Gladion, your sister Lillie) took Cosmog (yeah, and you took Type: Null, what’s your point). We battled him and he asked us to go with him. We got to the boat, so while Gladion and I waited for Hau, Nanu revealed that he is the kahuna of Ula’Ula island and that we had to battle him. After the battle, we got Darknium Z. Hau came on board and we sailed to Aether Paradise, where tomorrow, Aether Foundation got some ‘splainin to do.
