Shii was unbelievably distracted, as he walked back up to the mouth of the Trial Cave, or whatever it was called. His meeting with Mercedes, Aura’s trial, and the original reason for coming here were all mixing in his mind.

He barely even noticed that he was at his destination, until Professor Kukui called out to him. The Yveltal startled slightly, and looked up to see the man in the labcoat waving at him. 

They exchanged some quick dialogue, but Shii was only half-paying attention, and really just flowing with the conversation. He felt extremely guilty for agreeing to help Mercedes. But, at the same time, he knew he shouldn’t. She was right... sooner or later, Merric was going to realize the truth. And even still, until he did, he’d be after his little sister and his son’s group... and there was no way in hell he’d let that happen again. 

Shii turned and looked at the dark mouth of the cave. It was Merric that dragged Zaffre into that whole mess... tricked him, and kidnapped him from Kalos, and brought him into an adventure that ultimately led to...

‘this’. He thought bitterly. 

If Mercedes plan worked, they could track Merric down, and defeat him, before he had a chance to cause any harm to anyone. Thus, leaving Zaffre, Midori, and Koma safe and unaware. He didn’t want Midori’s first Pokemon journey to turn out like his, if he could help it...

The sight of a group of figures appearing from the darkness of the cave snapped him from his thoughts. He felt a genuine grin cross his face, as he saw Aurora and Nilos materialize from the darkness inside. 

Without hesitation, he stepped forward, crouched down, and held his arms out towards his baby girl, “Aura! How’d it go, superstar!?” 

Midori jumped as she heard her phone start ringing in her pocket. She gasped, and quickly answered it. 

“Hello! Midori here!” She greeted. Midori paused as she listened to the person on the other side of the phone. After a few seconds, her eyes widened, and then her expression fell.

“Sorry cousin. But Ten Carat Hill is closed today, yeah? Come back tomorrow.”

Shii cheered, and threw his arms into the air, and stretched, as he stepped off the Ferry, and into the cool, air-conditioned Ferry Terminal. 

“Alola!” Shii laughed, “Man! I can’t stand bein’ on boats. Why couldn’t we have just flown the whole way in? Screw not terrorizing locals! Boats suck!” 

Shii finished gently zipping up Kai’s jacket, and reached up to straighten the kid’s hat, “There ya go, kiddo!” He reached over, and scooped the kid up into his arms, and straightened up.

Standing about, the Scientist holding his origins from the region of Orre was being circled around by his trusted Porygon Z. “Now, now Mainframe.” commented, Ivion as he held out his P*DA. “I need you to get back and get up on Project A1.” Upon his trainer’s words the digital duck like pokemon dived into the handheld device’s screen.
