Sudden Accidental Arrival!

Fallers are all the rage, it seems, with more and more showing up! However it seems that there’s one unintentional arrival. Out by one of the beaches, a strange aircraft comes to a halt as it skids across the ocean. After awhile, a pink-haired young woman pokes her head out of the aircraft and looked around.

“Uh, sorry about that!” She called out. “I took a wrong turn and ended up here! My fault! Give me a moment to figure out my bearings and I’ll be on my way!”

With that, she pulled out a ragged map. “I think I made a wrong turn somewhere...”

“Oh, thank you!” Nozomi said to Abe before turning back to Lusamine. “No, please, I might be tired, but I want to help in any way possible! If you need me, just ask! Please?”

There’s a lot of sincerity in those purple eyes of hers. That desire to help out and find her way again. New world, new rules and all that!

"Well, if you're saying please then I'll say of course." said Lusamine with a chuckle. "I'll definitely ask for your help. Come, let's eat. And then I'll catch you up to speed with what we're in trouble with here."

“Okay, then!” Nozomi said, nodding before digging into her food. Having her foods varied from other worlds, this was a lot more filling than it would have before hand.

Abe's food was always top notch, and it was a bright, crisp and clean taste that would delight the senses. Lusamine found her appetite to be fairly large that day, as she ate her plate clean. "Ah, this is good."

“Oh, yes!” Nozomi said, her plate equally clean. “I must have been starving, though.” She grinned sheepishly and blushed at that.

"No worry about going hungry," said Lusamine. "If you're hungry, ask around. There's always food available for those who need it."

"Oh, good! Though, I'll certainly do my best to repay everyone I can!" Nozomi said. "So... what now?"

"Now we get you up to speed." said Lusamine, taking out her phone and tapping it. In an instant, a holographic screen appeared as she manipulated a few video records. "Amazing isn't it? A Faller named Tony Stark modified my phone for me, so I could do this."

Displaying a video of a Ultra Hole blooming open and a Buzzswole erupting from it during a television show filming, she said, "Ultra Holes. They are passages between worlds, through time and space. Long since researched by the Aether Foundation, beings living on the other side of these are Ultra Beasts, powerful versions of Pokemon that are basically, well, aliens. Eldritch, powerful aliens."

Switching another screen, it showed her, being abducted by the Nihelego. "About half a year ago, I was abducted by 001 Nihelego and rescued by my daughter Lillie, and her friends. These children proved stronger than I ever imagined and I named them Ultra Guardians."

More screens appeared, of the Ultra Guardians defeating and capturing the Ultra Beasts. "We sent many of them through the Ultra Holes, some of them by chance, some with the help of others. We thought them stopped with the last wave of Guzzlord. Turns out, now they're dropping humans, and other people through the Ultra Holes, voluntary or not. With me so far?"

Nozomi listened intently to the story given to her. It was honestly similar to so many others that she experienced.

“So far, yes.” Nozomi said, nodding.

"We attempted to re-open the Ultra Hole on our end. However, we were met with a lack of success. The first Faller that we tried to send back, or rather tried to pinpoint their homeland was met with a lack of success. We literally opened a portal to a island with a tropical volcano. Multiple attempts resulted in different worlds with known Ultra Beasts, but we kept looping back to that volcano which had started to develop a curious smell of peanut butter." Lusamine made a face.

"Since then, we've continued our work tirelessly, working with the scientists of our world which we have dubbed the Pokemon World. A pretentious moniker, but with the arrival of our allies from what we're dubbing the Overwatch World which has been plagued with arrivals of Pokemon in the last year, just as long as we have been meeting Pokemon and Ultra Beasts? It seems that we've managed to start taking things in a more direct manner."

"And then there's another problem. Recently, a threat to Alola has surfaced. INTERPOL has determined a criminal team, which has managed to utilize the Ultra Holes as transport. They call themselves Team Rainbow Rocket."

“Peanut butter?” Nozomi uttered. “Maybe it could be a clue...?”

She shook her head at that. “The portal bit makes sense. When I ended up in worlds beyond my control, I couldn’t get back until it was solved. And since this Team Rainbow Rocket made off with my ship’s power source, I think things might get worse...”

"There's something we're missing there, I agree." said Lusamine, frowning. "When Yotsuyu gets back from Sinnoh and Alder arrives from Unova, we'll have our answer. I hope."

"We have spies in the organization thanks to Courtney who inserted some people loyal from Team Magma, or formerly who have been granted pardon from INTERPOL. However, we were unprepared for the sheer scale of attack from their people trying to steal this."

She brought up the picture of the Rainbow Wing, a shimmering feather. "Plucked from the wing of Ho-Oh, a Legendary. It's said to bestow Eternal Life or so they claim. Obviously, worth a fortune even without the rumored ability to grant longevity."

“Ah...! It’s pretty, but... why?” Nozomi asked. “It seems odd to go all out for it.”

"That's something we haven't been able to determine." replied Lusamine, frowning. "Something about this artefact is enough to make Team Rainbow Rocket launch an all out attack on the museum for, and practically ignore the data pads that were being targeted as well."

Lusamine rubbed her forehead a little. "I won't lie, Nozomi. I'm not good at unraveling mysteries like this. I'm only a business woman who did some... slightly illegal genetics work. But I'm trying to fight a battle I was only playing at. Team Rainbow Rocket? Fallers coming out of the skies? Now there's people actively targeting Faller possessions? This is a high stress moment for me, and I'm getting more and more worn out."

“Lusamine...”

Nozomi reached out towards the distressed woman, smiling warmly as she tried to take her hands. “I know it’s scary and draining. I’ve been a plaything for numerous beings who treat us so poorly. I’ve... I’ve tried to obtain power because I was scared of being unable to face them head on. But, you know what I’ve learned?”

She smiled wider. “You’re not alone. The greatest power, the greatest magic is the Magic of Friendship. Being a Pokémon Trainer is an extension of that. Go ahead, be exhausted. But know that you’re not alone...”

"My goodness..." said Lusamine, clucking her tongue in good humor. "You sound just like Champion Ash Ketchum. That's good. You'll fit right in."

The door jangled as a small blue haired girl came in. "You wanted to see me, Commander?" asked Lana.

"Ah, yes, Lana, Alola. Lana, this is Nozomi. She'll be staying with you. I hope you don't mind."

"Ah, I don't mind at all. Mom was just saying that the house needed another house guest since the last one returned through the Ultra Hole. I hope you don't mind sleeping on the couch, Nozomi, until we get the new bunk set up. Harper and Sarah sleep in the same room as I do, but they're so noisy so we'll need to put you up in the rollaway. I hope you don't mind." said Lana, apologetically as her Eevee, Marin remarked "vee" at her.

“Oh! I don’t mind at all!” Nozomi said. “It’ll probably be more comfortable than the bed on my ship.” She said, giggling. “I guess it would be helpful to know where you live, though, huh?”

"Yeah no worries. You'll like it, we live right next to the ocean." said Lana, giggling.

"I'll accompany you there," said Lusamine as she got up and paid for the meal. "I need to walk this meal off or I'll be falling asleep. Abe, did you give me the alcoholic juice again?"

"You looked like you needed it," replied Abe, shrugging. "You came in here with the most stressed expression, I figured a quarter strength Masters Juice would help you relax a little. Did it?"

"... yes, you're right about that," remarked Lusamine, sighing with a little grin."Okay, let's go."
