Suddenly in the midst of a Summer Festival--

There's a distinct sound of waves, and bustling of people nearby.

In the coastal city of Turnbloom the sun is bright and warm, and the scent of the sea wafts through with the cool gentle breeze that makes the glittering pinwheels spin, and the leaves on the palm tree dance.

Today the streets are extra decorated with these cute, colorful and floral shaped pinwheels. It seemed the people who were out in the streets were dressed in colorful summer attire--either casual, or the more traditional yukata. It seemed like with the booths were set out for both food and games for festival of some kind that was currently underway.

Just how did you get here, and why? A mystery, and it seemed the people in the streets didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary as they go about enjoying their time out on this bright sunny day.

Whether he met another Ash or not was up in the air for him. After all Ash hadn't know what Pasio was, or the PML. Or the fact Lear himself had never heard of the World Coronation Series until it was mentioned by Ash himself.

"As far as we know, that Ash from Pallet Town isn't any Pokemon in disguise." He'll state in a matter of fact voice while pointing up (a habit, really). "The difference between you and her...she had been dressed differently, and the Pokemon she had been with was a Clefairy, and sometimes either a Ribombee or Lunala." He hadn't seen her with an Alolan Vulpix unless...

She was just waiting for an opportunity to use her Vulpix. That was entirely possible.

“A Clefairy?” Lillie repeated, then went quiet. “… I wanted to begin my journey with a Clefairy, but mother evolved it into Clefable.”

Maybe they diverged then…

"Is that so? How interesting..." He's back to pondering about the Lillie he's met. "Ah that's right, she was also friends with the Alola Champion but he wasn't Ash. His name was Elio."

Also there was Selene who was also Alola Champion but...it was best not to think about her right now. Unless she showed up in the future, or near future even.

"Of course I don't know all the details of her life. We aren't exactly close."

"All of this supports my theory," Lillie said with a nod, crossing her arms. "We've stepped into different worlds... have you ever done so before? For example, passed through an Ultra Hole or something similar?"

She wondered if this place drew in Fallers or had some other criteria...

"Hm...I have only experienced being transported to an entirely new location, but an entirely different world would be new to me."

He'll glance over to Hoopa who looked back at him. While Hoopa may be strong, Lear was certain he couldn't have sent them to a whole new world.

"But I shouldn't be too surprised. Pasio is full of many interesting Pokemon, and trainers after all." Was he preening? Being proud? Why yes of course he was, thank you very much! All those trainers were here thanks to his hardworking team, and himself.

"Maybe even teleportation counts..."

Lillie's train of thought is quickly derailed by Lear's preening and she laughed a bit awkwardly. "... well, you sound very proud of it. You must love Pasio a lot. Is that your home?"

"Teleportation? Yes, that's possible..." He murmured more to himself than to Lillie. However he's known Hoopa long enough. Certainly he couldn't have sent him here somehow, could he?

He put those thoughts aside for later as he set his focus back to Lillie. A smirk formed as he held his hand up, pointing upward with his gloved hand (a habit, really).

"No, but I am Pasio's creator."

That wasn’t what she meant, but perhaps she didn’t make herself clear enough.

Oh, he is dramatic, isn’t he? Lillie blinked in surprise at his theatrics, then again at his statement.

“Creator, really?!”

"Fuwahahaha!" Lear laughed just as dramatic. "That is indeed correct! I created Pasio, along with being in charge of the PML and all the trainers who are currently in Pasio."

Soon a sigh left him as the reality of their current situation hung over his head once more.

"So being stuck here doesn't bode well for me, exactly..." He trusted both of his retainers, Sawyer and Rachel to take care of things in his absence but he couldn't be away for Pasio for that long. What if something happened while he was missing? The thought alone made him antsy.

That laugh was just a little scary! He sounded like Faba...

"Y-yes, I'm sure... this is very new to you."

Please don't be power-hungry...

"Hmm..." being abducted not so much, but ending up in a completely new region, possibly outside of their own world? Definitely a new experience.

He glanced over to Lillie noting the look she had on her face. Odd, was there something that made her react like that? Or maybe this entire situation was catching up to her. He should say something to cheer her up a little, shouldn't he?

"In any case, I'm sure there's bound to be clues on how to return home around here." As he's saying so his Hoopa's expression lit up. Without warning he's playfully opening up a portal as a number of peculiar, round, fried doughnuts with a smiley like crack fell onto Lear's head. Lear stood in shocked silence for a second before glaring at his Hoopa. "Hoopa, how many times must I tell you if you're hungry, just tell me?!"

"Hehehe!" Hoopa giggled in response before dropping a few more Sugar Doughtnuts, that all playfully pelted Lear in the process.

"Why do you never listen to me!?"

~~Being abducted isn’t new?!~~

Well, that eased Lillie’s fears, at least for the time being, and she couldn’t help a small laugh at Hoopa’s antics.

“I’m sorry… but you really shouldn’t throw things on your trainer!” she tried to make it a lecturing tone, even wagging her finger at Hoopa, but it lacked any authoritative power.

~~Sometimes people just wanna abduct you, and put a stop to the tournament you kickstarted for Reasons! Don't worry about it.~~

Hoopa's still giggling, now with the doughnuts in his hands. Lear all the while sighed, and made a bit of a face while being referred to as Hoopa's trainer. He couldn't help but stare at his partner Pokemon.

Hoopa sensing Lear's gaze looked over to him.

"Hoooopa!" Hoopa bounced about while waving his arms happily. In response Lear chuckled while placing his hands onto his hips.

"It's the first time anyone has referred to me as your trainer, isn't it Hoopa?"

"Papapapapa!" Hoopa cheered. Lear's lips twitch into a smirk in response. Of course Hoopa would know what was on his mind.

"Hmm, but that's not exactly correct."

~~That is a bit TOO concerning to just leave it at that…!~~

“Oh, was I wrong?” Lillie said, surprised. “I’m sorry… are you only friends, then?”

"We're friends, of course but also..." He's holding out his hand striking a pose with his Hoopa joining in with a wide smile. "Partners who will raise to the top at the next PML tournament!"

"Hoopa!!"

They are dramatic, aren't they? But they didn't seem too scary right now, just a bit flashy. Maybe Lear was more like Gladion than Faba...

"Then, like Nebby..."
Or even Poipole! Befriended, but never caught.

"By coming here, you might have a chance to become even stronger, right?" Lillie asked.

Lear was indeed flashy from the way he's dressed to his overall attitude. He gives Lillie a puzzled look at the mention of "Nebby". Judging by the context it had to be the name of a Pokemon friend.

At Lillie's next question, Hoopa lifted up his arms letting out a happy cheer. Clearly he was delighted at the thought of becoming stronger in Ultern. Lear glanced over to Hoopa and back to Lillie.

"Of course, there will be plenty of fascinating trainers and Pokemon out there, even if they haven't formed a sync pair like those back in Pasio. It would be a valuable experience for the two of us."
