Episode 2: A Rainbow Sparkling in the Sky

[fallers_npcs]

Today marks a momentous occasion for the Fallers. While the Music Festival has begun on the Island, and the Museum of Arts and History are exhibiting a new exhibit, all of the Fallers have been summoned to the Pokemon School for a very important request by their Rotoms.

"Thank you all for coming," said Burnet, standing in the classroom with the children of Ash Ketchum's class. "As you know, we of Alola have faced many challenges here, with the Ultra Holes opening up. Even now, more Fallers appear day by day. That is why, with the recent acceptance of the Totem Pokemon and their declaration, we have decided to extend our request."

Sliding up the chalkboard, there was a huge button behind the chalkboard as part of the classroom slid open to reveal an elevator. "Please, if you would step forward and take the elevator down."

Once downstairs, the Fallers would find themselves in a huge Command Center, filled with highly advanced technology as a Chansey greeted them, with a new crop of Meltan from nowhere. "Chansey!" She exclaimed, pressing a button as a holographic display appeared. Someswhere in the middle of it, the Alola School Children had been clothed in Armor on the way down, and they saluted Lusamine who appeared on the display.

"Alola, Ultra Guardians. Alola, Fallers. I'm Commander Lusamine, of the Ultra Guardians. And I have a request for you all. I'd like for you all, no, I humbly request for you to join the Ultra Guardians in some capacity, to defend Alola and find a way home for you, as well as defend the Island from Ultra Beasts. We are facing a sudden International Crisis of unprecedented levels, and I wish to explain..."

"I'm doing well, I decided to take a year off Champion duties and focus on teaching here with the students." said Cynthia with a kind smile. "I'm glad you're here Trip, it's been ages since we last spoke and I'm glad you took our lessons to heart."

"Have you settled into Alola for a vacation quite well?"

[serperiority]

“It’s not...” he trailed off, deciding not to explain he didn’t make it here the usual way. “Yeah, I’m still getting settled. It’s nice, though. A little relaxed compared to what I’m used to, but it might do us some good.”

He looked curious. “What classes are you teaching?”

[fallers_npcs]

"I agree. Alola is a lot more laid back than I expected. Still, it's not without its merits." She smiled easily.

"Ancient history, mostly to deal with Pokemon culture of other regions besides just Alola. While I'm learning from Olivia. She's an amazing teacher."

[serperiority]

“Yeah, there’s still challenges and useful experiences, definitely. That actually sounds pretty interesting! I’d like to attend.”

Alcremie seemed less daunted now and came to watch Cynthia from up-close. Trip took some time to take a picture.

Cynthia smiled as she stooped down to look at Alcremie. "I'll make a spot for you in my lecture room," she said, holding out a Malasada to Alcremie to try. Would a sweet one be good for her?

[serperiority]

"It'd be an honor," he said.

Alcremie certainly cheered up and eagerly grabbed the Malasada, happily eating it up.

"Oh, absolutely," he said with a smile. "That's actually how we met, she was a little too excited about the treats at a festival."

Alcremie agreed with a big smile, not the least bit embarrassed.

She then decided to thank Cynthia by scooping up some of her cream and offering it.
