Writer here. I've had so much fun writing this and I'm kinda sad to see it end, but I am thinking about making a sequel to this story. I don't know what will happen yet, but I'm sure I can think of something good. Anyway, onto the final chapter.

Chapter 30: Epilogue

The fly back to Alola was very calm, much to the delight of Lillie and Sun. When they landed at the Aether Paradise, they saw no one was there. Lillie and Sun were both pretty surprised, as it was almost always bustling with people, mostly employees, even at night. Latias looked around and said, "Where is everyone?"

They heard a voice, "Oh, there on… what was it? Ula'ula island?" They turned toward the voice and saw Calem standing sadly, and he continued not looking at them, "Whatever, the town's called Malie City. Setting up for the party I assume."

Sun was slightly on edge at the sight of Calem, but Lillie took his hand and he calmed down. He asked, "Will you be going?"

He looked at him with a look of dread on his face. "Why should I? I almost killed everyone in existence, all because some stupid experiment I did years ago. I've caused so much pain, so much suffering," then he said, almost in a whisper, "So much death…" then he continued, "there's no reason for me to celebrate."

To Calem's surprise, Lillie walked over and put her arms around him to comfort him. Calem asked, "What's this for?"

She smiled and said, "That wasn't you who did all those things dad. They were the Nihilego that was controlling you. Dad, I want you to come with us. Everyone will forgive you."

"Not everyone," he said, refusing to meet Lillie's eyes.

"Who?" she asked.

"Gladion, your brother. I put him through so much pain, he'd never forgive me."

Lillie smiled and said, "Gladion once told me it's best to not dwell on the past. You're better now, you've been redeemed in my eyes and I'm sure everyone else's."

Calem looked up at his daughter and smiled. Then he looked at Sun and said, "I should apologize to you… for a lot. I'd better get started. I'm sorry fo…"

"It's alright," Sun said happily.

Calem looked at Sun dumbstruck. Calem said, "But with all I've done to you… I've literally killed you!"

"Plus a whole lot of other things, but that wasn't you. From what I've read about you, you're a pretty good guy." Then sun pulled a pokeball out of his bag and handed it to Calem. "I believe this pokemon belongs to you?"

Calem took the pokeball and looked inside, and saw Zygarde in its 100% forme. He gasped and said, "I was never able to find all the cores and cells…" He looked up and said, "Where did you find them?"

"Around Alola. Not sure why they were here, Alola is a long way from Kalos, but it was."

Calem was about to say something when Latias said, "Uh, guys? Can we get going?"

Sun looked at her and said, "Never would have pegged you to be impatient." Latias rolled her eyes, but Sun and Lillie climbed on. Lillie turned and said, "You will be coming, right dad?"

Calem blinked and said, smiling, "I'll be there."

When the party finally started, everyone had the time of their lives. People from every other region in the world, even one called Core though from what he said about their region it seemed they were having there own crisis, were exploring Alola, mingling with each other, battling and just having fun. One day, during the festivals, Sun walked into Olivia's gem shop. Olivia smiled when she saw him and said, "Hey champion! How're you doing, it's been so long!"

Sun smiled and said, "It's nice to see you to Olivia. Hey, I need a favor."

Olivia raised her eyebrow and said, "Sure, what do you need?"

Sun whispered in her ear and Olivia smiled and said, "I can do that. Give me a couple minutes, I'll be right back."

That night, at the Battle Royale building, Gladion, Sun, Lillie, Green, Red, Brendan, May, Dawn, Lucas, Black, and White all met up and started to talk. It was just small talk until Crystal and Gold, who were holding hands walked up, and Gold said to Red, "Hey, Red. I bet I could beat you at a battle Royale."

Red smiled and said, "You wish."

Brendan laughed and said, "Oh please, I could beat both of you and you guys know it."

Dawn said, "Boys, I could beat all three of you."

The four began to argue and Sun said, "Quiet!" The four looked at him and he continued, "I'm champion of this region, I can talk them into letting you use your legendaries in the arena. Just, please don't make a huge mess." The four agreed and Sun pulled out his phone and said, "Hey, Professor Kukui? Yeah, I got four people who want a no holds barred duel in the Battle Royale with Legendaries. Think you could talk the Masked Royale into letting them? Thanks."

When Sun hung up, Brendan asked, "Who's the Masked Royale?"

Sun rolled his eyes and said, "The professor. He likes to dress up and apparently, only Lillie and I are the only ones to ever figure that out." The group laughed and Sun said to the four, "You guys have been cleared for the battle. Remember the rules of a battle Royale." The four began to walk away and Sun called, "Hey, wait." The four stopped and Sun said, "Once you guys are done, we should all, even our friends that aren't here right now, should all meet up and have a tournament style battle. Winner can say they're the best of the best."

Everyone nodded in agreement and Lucas said, "That sounds like an amazing idea. Though I suspect I know who would win," he said glancing slyly at Lillie. Sun grinned and said, "I do to."

Everyone kept talking and laughing before Gladion got a call. He looked down and his phone and said, "I've got to take this, hold on," as he walked away.

"Anyone else curious what that's about?" Black asked.

Sun chuckle. "I'll let you know when I get back," he said as he walked towards where Gladion had gone.

Sun had to walk through a crowd of people just to find the exit. When he finally found Route 6, he heard someone talking in the southern part. He knew that had to be Gladion, as he was the only one not in the city. Sun snuck towards the noise and tried to listen in on the call. Sun heard bits and pieces, but not enough to figure out what was going on. He heard Gladion hang up and say, "So how long are you going to stand there?"

Sun replied, "Eh, not long." He walked up to his friend and said, "What was that about?"

Gladion sighed and said, "Bad news. You know Barry? Calem's second in command basically?"

Sun said angrily, "Oh yeah, I know the little bas.."

Gladion cut him off and said, "Well his body was never found at the compound."

Sun said, "I thought you.."

Gladion said, "I know. That drop should have killed him, but he's apparently still alive, undoubtedly a little pissed at us." Gladion sighed and said, "Please don't tell the rest. Let's let them enjoy the party." Then he smiled deviously and said, "So, when are you going to ask?"

Sun blushed and said, "What do you mean?"

Gladion laughed and said, "Oh, come on. I've seen you go in and out of Olivia's shop, I've seen you have your hand in your jacket pocket all night. Come on, let me see the ring."

Sun blushed even more, but pulled an engagement ring out of his pocket. The ring was golden with a pink gem in the shape of Mew's head on it. Sun smiled and said, "Think she'll like it?"

Gladion grinned and said, "I'm sure she will." Gladion looked at him and said, "Are you going to ask tonight?"

Sun shook his head and said, "Not yet. I will, just not yet."

Gladion said, "Your call. She'll love you forever no matter what." Gladion started to walk back towards Royale Avenue when he asked, "You coming?"

Sun said, "I'll be there in a minute." He was looking up at the stars in the sky. He smiled and thought, I know that won't be my last adventure, not yet. But I know I want Lillie by my side when I face my next challenges, now and forever. He looked down at the ring and smiled. He put it back in his pocket and walked towards Royale Avenue.
