Hi people. Sorry it has been a while since I updated this chapter. Sorry about that. Hopefully this makes up for the wait. Or not. It's up to you really.

Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter Seven: The two return

It has been five days since the knowledge of the tournament was made known to the Alolan natives by Lusamine. Since then, knowing that this tournament was a big deal, many of them decided to enter it. Those who have decided to take part in the tournament were Kiawe, Sophocles, Gladion, Mallow, Lana, and Lillie.

Currently we see the four young children Maria, Velen, Logan, and Rose watching their mothers with the others as they were going through the city to get any supplies for the trip. While the tournament was two days away, the group planned to take off from Alola tomorrow due to it taking a day to get to Kanto from Alola.

The four kids were thinking about this though, at the moment they were thinking that they were bored.

"What can we do?" Rose asked her brothers and sister. The four were bored, and they didn't like staying in one spot as their mothers and uncles were checking on the stand in front of them.

"I don't know. Are there any pokemon around we can play with?" Logan asked, since sometimes bird pokemon would come to the streets to get the fruits and other food that are sold on the street.

"I don't see any." Maria responded as the little black haired girl as she looked around to see if any pokemon were around for them to play. However the only pokemon around were those who belonged to other people, and they were all busy.

"I know!" Velen started to say, getting the other three kids to look at him, "Let's go into the forest! They always have pokemon!" He spoke happily.

"Yay!" All four of them exclaimed happily, as they took off from the area since the forest was close to where they were.

Unfortunately, Mallow, Lana, Lillie, Gladion, Kiawe, and Sophocles were too busy buying food from the stand and talking to notice the four small children running off. The pokemon that were out of their pokeballs were also too busy eating the food that was offered to them by the stand's owner to notice as well.

"Thank you for your business." The stand owner told the group before him with a smile, as the others smiled back in return.

They simply replied back with kindness as they checked to see if they got everything they need from here.

"Alright, I think we got everything we needed here." Lana told the others.

"Looks like we do." Sophocles replied back with a smile of his own.

"Let's move on to the next store then." Kiawe stated since there were still a few more places to go before they headed back to their respective homes.

"You're right," Lillie spoke with her smile as she turned around, "Alright kids, we need to get go-"

She stopped speaking as she, along with the others, then noticed the lack of the four kids being presence.

"Rose?!" Lillie shouted in worry, looking around only to not spot her daughter in the area.

"Maria! Logan! Where are you?!" Mallow also called out in worry and fear.

"Velen! Can you hear me?!" Lana shouted out in worry, hoping that her son would reply back, but no answer came.

"Where they go?!" Kiawe questioned as he, along with all their pokemon that were out, tried to see if the kids were still in the area, but to no regard.

"Why can't they stay still?!" Gladion questioned as he was worried about his nieces and nephews safety.

Let it be known that this wasn't the first time the kids wandered off on their own. In fact, this tends to happen a lot, especially with Gladion since most of the time this happened when they were under his watch. You think the kids would learn by now not to do this, but unfortunately they were too energetic and curious to stay still. Something they most likely must have gotten from Ash as well.

"Silvally, can you find them?" Gladion asked the Synthetic pokemon, hoping that his partner pokemon would be able to track them. He could only hope he could as he saw his sister, Lana, and Mallow about to have a breakdown.

Silvally proceeded to tried to use his sense of smell to hopefully pick up the four children's trail. Luckily, it didn't take long to pick up the scent of the four kids. He spoke his name as he started to run into a direction, getting everyone else's attention.

"Slivally wait up!" Gladion shouted as he went after the pokemon.

"Hold this!" Lillie exclaimed as she shoved the supplies she was holding into Sophocles hold, who felt like he was about to fall over due to the force Lillie put into as she ran after her brother.

"Hang on!" Mallow spoke up, who also shoved the stuff she was holding to Kiawe as she also chased after the two blondes and pokemon, not willing to wait to see her son and daughter was alright.

"Wait for me!" Lana exclaimed as she also ran after the others to help find her son and the other kids.

"…Uh… I guess we wait here then?" Kiawe questioned to Sophocles, who only shrugged as he tried to not drop all the stuff he was holding.

In the forest right outside the city, the four young children were running around chasing one another in an open field not far from the city. It looked like the children got bored of trying to find pokemon to play with and simply decided to play tag with one another.

"Tag! You're it!" Velen exclaimed while laughing as he got to Rose.

"Hey! Get back here!" Rose shouted happily, not caring that she was it now.

"Run faster!" Both Maria and Logan exclaimed with smiles while laughing.

The four kids were too busy playing and having fun with one another to notice something approaching from the forest around them. If one would look closely, two pairs of eyes could be seen from the shadows.

Not far from the children's destination, Gladion, Lillie, Lana, and Mallow were following Silvally as they tried to find the children.

"Velen! Where are you?!" Lana shouted out, hoping that her son would hear her and reply back from wherever he is.

"I can't believe this happened! What if something bad happens?!" Mallow exclaimed in worry and fear. She can't lose her kids, they were her everything!

"Calm down! It's not like they haven't ran off on their own before or anything." Gladion tried to calm his sister and the other two females down.

"That doesn't make us feel better!" All three of the women shouted at the older blonde male, getting him to flinch from the yelling. He had faced against the crazed Ultra Beasts, and that weird giant living mountain of flesh that resided in the Ultra Space, but even they were nothing compared to an angry and worried mother. Three mothers in this case might he add. Silvally only sweat drop at the sight of his master being overwhelmed by the women.

Before he could say something to help calm the three females down, a loud yell was then heard. All of their eyes widen in horror as they realized that was the kids yelling.

"Rose!" Lillie shouted in worry as she ran to where the direction of the shout came from. Silvally followed suit to make sure that he could protect and save the kids if they were in trouble.

"Maria! Logan!" Mallow shouted scared as well for her children as she also ran after the pokemon and the blonde woman.

"Velen! Hang on!" Lana also shouted as she chased after the others.

Gladion didn't say anything as he only ran after his pokemon and the three mothers.

It didn't take long for the group of four, five if one would to count Silvally, to arrive in an open field in the forest.

"ROSE/MARIA/LOGAN/VELEN!" Lillie, Mallow, and Lana all shouted in fear as they arrived on the scene with Gladion right behind them.

However, the worried and fearful looks they had then faded away into confusion.

"Huh?" They all questioned the same thing at the sight before them.

Instead of finding the four children in danger, they instead found Rose, Velen, Maria, and Logan laughing to their hearts content hugging and holding onto a humanoid height pokemon, who looked like it was having trouble breathing due to the pressure of the four kids hugging and hanging on to it. There was another pokemon that was standing a few feet in front of the other pokemon and four children laughing at the other pokemon's misery.

However, the pokemon that was laughing got the four adults to widen their eyes in surprised. That pokemon was a certain fire/dark type pokemon that had vanished a while back.

"Incinaroar?" Lillie spoke quietly, as the others were just as surprised to see the Heel pokemon standing in front of them.

This got both pokemon and the four kids to see the four adults.

"Hi mommy!" All four of the kids exclaimed happily to their mothers as they let go of the other pokemon they were holding on too, which was a relief for said pokemon since it could move and breath properly again.

This got Lillie, Mallow, and Lana to snap out of their surprised to see the Heel pokemon that took of years ago before running to the kids and wrapping them into a tight hug.

"Velen! I was worried sick!" Lana told her son, who only blinked in confusion.

"Rose! Don't you run off like that again!" Lillie managed to speak, which also got Rose to be confused, not understand what she and the other three kids unintentionally put their mothers through.

"Maria! Logan! Why did you run off like that?" Mallow questioned the two kids, who were also confused, not getting the whole thing.

"We were bored and went to play." Velen simply stated, not getting why their mothers looked so worried. The other three kids agreed with the son of Lana.

Despite their worry and relief, Lillie, Mallow, and Lana couldn't help but smile softly at their words. So innocent the four kids were.

"Wait a minute," Gladion spoke as he saw the other pokemon that the kids were clinging too, getting a good look at the somewhat humanoid avian pokemon, "Are you…?" He started to question, which got the other three women to look at the pokemon next to Incineroar.

From the owl-like appearance to the grass type look it had, it didn't take long for the four adults to realize who this was.

"…Rowlet?" Mallow questioned which got the pokemon, now known as Decidueye, to smile as it chirped his name.

Incineroar and Rowlet, now a Decidueye, had finally return after all these years.

There we go. Hope I didn't suck that much with making this.

By the way, sorry it took so long to update this story. In fact, for those who look at my other stories, sorry it took me so long to update in general. My oldest brother came back to live with us(Won't go into the details about that), so now I have even LESS time to update. But I will not stop trying. I won't give up any of my stories. But if you notice that I'm not updating as much as I used too, you now know why.

Anyway, see you all next time, whenever that will be.
