~With Ash, Brandon, Bonnie, Arron , and Clement~

Ash stops in midway, as Bonnie notices her friend's behavior. "Ash , what is it? Is it about Spark?"

The former Pokémon Master nods at the young trainer , "I believe so. It's like he's not here in Kanto anymore."

Arron looks at his cousin in a serious matter, "How could that be possible? I thought that Spark would be still be here, I mean, I felt his aura too."

"That's the thing, I think that he made sure he can't be sensed by anyone. His Audrain Powers are completely cut off from us."

Clement push his glasses, "There must be an logical explanation for this, I'm sure of it. Spark must have a reason of not using his Audrain Powers on us to locate his location."

Brandon said, "I'm worried. What if Spark and Persia are in terrible danger than we realized?"

Pikachu turns to his old friend, "I'm sure that Spark would be absolutely fine. He's not alone , he has Jessie and Pichu with him."

Ash sighs, "I hope that you're right, Pikachu. I really do hope so. But to make absolutely sure..."

He took out his Pokeball into the air, and saw his Noivern. "Noivern, you should fly ahead and try to locate Spark. I'm counting on you."

The Pokémon nods at his master's command, as he flew away from them as Brandon puts his hands to his hips, "Ash, you never cease to amaze me. "

But Ash does felt worried about his son, is this what being a father feels like?

~With Gary, Jessie, James, Red, and Spark~

Gary sighs as he constantly working on a way to figure out a plan to beat the Ultra Beast.

"Felt tired, Gary?" He heard a voice asked as he turns to see it was Spark with Pichu. "Oh, it's just you, Spark. Yeah, trying to find some research on the Ultra Beast, Nihilego.

From what you told us, I can't believe that Lusamine would actually open a Ultra Wormhole and make Serena and Persia hosts! It sounds dangerous if you ask me."

Spark rolls his eyes, "Tell me about it. I'm still shocked about all of it too. But this is more than rescuing my mother and sister."

Gary sees how uneasy of the sixteen year old trainer was, as he puts down his textbooks, "Spark, you know that you can always relie on me. What's on your mind?"

"Was it too oblivious?" The trainer asks furiously, as the Pokémon Researcher laughs, "Com'on, you're basically Ash's son! I know exactly how he looks like when he's frustrated with something on his mind. So tell me."

The trainer sighs, "It's just... even if we save Latifa what's going to happen to the Tree of Beginning? It's a living thing, and according to the legend that Ash told me that Lucario basically sacrificed himself to save it.

I don't know if I can handle anyone sacrificing themselves."

Jessie touches her cousin, "Spark, we'll make sure that doesn't happen. We'll figure it out, I promise."

Spark begin to form a small smile on his face, that he was glad that Jessie and Gary have his side, no matter what the stakes might be.

That was when Red and Leaf show up.

"Did you find Persia and my mother?" The sixteen year old trainer asks as Red shook his head on the issue.

"Sorry, Spark, Leaf and I looked every inch on the isle, no luck." Red said, which Leaf said, trying to cheer her friend up, "We'll keep trying. Did you try to sense them with your aura? "

Spark nodded, "I did try, but I couldn't pinpoint the location of where they went off to. Nihilego's evil presence inside them make the Audrain Powers harder to sense. While we're on the topic, I didn't use it as much so Ash and the others wouldn't locate us and find out what's happening. " 

Jessie pouted, "Man, that stinks! I wished there is an easier way to locate both of them, considering that they have been using the Ultra Wormhole." 

The group seems to be in silence, unsure of what to do in a situation like this. 

Meowth said, "How about we ask one of the Isle Hulas to help? They might have an idea of how to defeat Nihilego." 

"The Isle Hulas huh? Are they some sort of Gym leaders in Aloha?" Spark asks curiously. 

"They're sort of like Gym Leaders. But their skills are quite different. They have battle styles called, "Z-moves" and it works on a Pokémon battle. " James said, explaining to the sixteen year old trainer. 

"Amazing. When everything's settled down, I want to try challenging the Isle Hulas in a Pokémon battle. " Spark's said , with his eyes lit up which made Jessie, Red, and Leaf laugh. 

"Sounds like you really are like Ash. Always wanted a challenge, even with saving the world." Jessie said.

"Well, I guess. But still , Delphox and Uesaring. Their attacks are incredibly strong, so strong that Pichu and Charizard couldn't stand a chance. Even with if I use Donphan, it wouldn't matter.

I was thinking... I should increase my Pokémon team. I have to be stronger than ever." Spark said. 

"How about searching through the forest? I bet that there would be a lot of wild Pokémon that haven't been caught yet, and Mekhi gave us new Pokeballs too." Jessie suggested. 

"That's a good idea. We'll go with you, Spark. I want to see you in action. " Red said. 

"Well, ok, then. Let's go." Spark said as both trainers leave in a hurry.

The trainers went through the forest as they come across a bright orange Pokémon. 

"Whoa, is that an Aloha Pokémon?" Red asks. 

Spark's eyes seems to be full of excitement, as to seeing a new Pokémon. 

"I think so. Let's see what the new Pokedex that Mekhi gave us has to say. 

Spark opens his new Pokedex as he points on the newest Pokémon. 

"Litten. A Fire Type Pokémon . Litten show few emotions and prefers of being alone. It takes time to earn and build the trainer' s bond. "

Spark puts away his Pokedex, "A Litten. It seems to be so strong." 

Litten saw Pichu as he attacks head on! 

"Pichu, jump and dodge it! " Spark commanded his partner. 

Litten snarls as Flame Charge! 

"A Flame Charge , this Litten is serious." Red said. 

Spark said, flipping his hat, "I'm not going easy on it either. All right, Pichu jump into the air, Use Iron Tail, slam it into the ground as hard as you can!" 

Pichu did as he said, as Litten was flown up from the ground! 

"Amazing! I never seen Iron Tail be used like that! " Red said, in total disbelief of what he has witnessed. 

Spark smiled, "Well, I have to do something. It's um, a trick I've been working on my own." 

"Of course . You always have a solution to Pokémon Battles. It's no wonder that you beaten Ash Ketchum." 

Spark said, pouting, "Gee, comparing me to my father, huh? I guess I have to live with that fact I'm related to him. 

But this battle, it's not entirely over yet. " 

Litten growls as it Flare Blitz at Pichu , as Pichu groans from the attack. 

"Pichu! You all right?"  

"I'm fine, Spark! Let's finish this battle so we can rescue Latifa and Serena! "

Spark smiled at his faithful partner's enthusaim. 

"Ok, Pichu , use Thunder Punch! " 

The little electric Pokemon uses the attack and Litten was down. 

Red said, "Use the Pokeball, now!" 

Spark nods at his friend's suggestion as he threw the Pokeball at the wild Pokémon , as Pichu pants as both trainers waiting nervously if the catch was sucessful. 

The ball dims in white, confirming the catch. 

Spark picks up the ball, as he said, "All right! I did it. I just caught a new ally, I caught Litten!" 

Red sat on the ground, "Ooh, man! I never seen an intense battle like that in ages! Spark, you're an insane trainer. " 

"Uh... thanks, I think. But Pichu did most of the work. I'm proud of you, buddy." Spark said to his partner as Pichu blushed . 

 The trainers were walking through the forest as Spark's Pokegear rang up. 

"Who could that be?" Red asks as Spark opens the Pokegear to see it was May and Max glaring at him. 

"Auntie May, Uncle Max!" Spark said as Red asks, "You know them?"

"Yeah, friends of the family.  Hey, you guys." Spark said sheepishly. 

"Spark, you know that Ash and the others are looking for you. Where are you exactly?" Max said, looking at him. 

"Uncle Max, I don't want Ash to follow me. It's um, a little bit of a time limit." Spark said as May said, "I know you're lying. Don't try to weasel your way out , like Max does. " 

Max turns to his sister, "What is that supposed to mean, May!" 

Spark sweats, as Red said, "Let May and Max know what's going on. They'll cover for us will you?"

The trainers looked curiously as Max asks, "What's going on? Is it about Serena?"

~With Max and May~

Spark tells his uncle and aunt of what's happening as Max said, "You're kidding. I'm so shocked that Mekhi is a good guy now. 

Man, when Ash hears about this, he's in for a shock for sure. " 

"You guys, this is sworn secrecy. You can't tell Ash what's going on. Not yet anyway. " Spark said, "Latifa is my little sister. She's my responsibility." 

May begins to form a small smile on her face, "It sounds like you're acting like a big sibling, even if you never been one. Still, how you going to convince her that she's on the wrong side?"

"Auntie May, I know how it felt like to not knowing the truth about our family. Latifa needs to know the truth, just like I did when I found about Ash being my father. 

Trust me, I know what I'm doing." Spark said, reassuring the Coordinator's worry. 

"That is what worries me the most. You're the spitting image of Ash, no matter how worried you or your father's insane ideas are. " May said, bitterly .  

Max rolls his eyes at the Pokémon Coordinator, as he turns to Spark, "Don't worry, Spark. We'll keep Ash away from you as long we can. 

Do what you have to do to get Persia, Latifa and Serena safely from Lusamine and her evil plot ." 

The sixteen year old breathes a sigh of relief that Max and May would actually helped him out of saving his family. 

"Guys... I really don't know what to say."  He said, as May waves her hand, "Like Max said, we got this. Be careful in Aloha, ok?" 

Spark nods as he leaves the Pokegear call as Max sighs, "This would be an tricky situation. Ash is really stubborn. " 

"Tell me about it. After everything that happened to him, it's not surprising that Ash would take drastic measures to get what he wants. " May said. 

Then Ash and the others decided to show up!

"Max, May! It's been a while!" Ash said. 

The trainers winces of Ash's voice as they knew that this is going to be harder than they originally thought.
