____________________________________

      Gladion realized that he only had Moon, Reiji, and Ryoko to battle (y/n)'s supposed kidnapper. That would be enough. He was quite sure that this would be a piece of cake for him anyway. The person that had taken (y/n) ended up stupidly running into an ally with a dead end. Ryoko had him cornered and there wasn't much he could do now.

      For one, the kidnapper had a butter knife up to (y/n)'s throat and did a lousy job hiding his appearance because the brown coat he had on was slipping off.

       "Hey, you bastard! Let (y/n) go!" Gladion yelled and he actually yelled because Necrozma allowed him to speak again.

      Apparently, Necrozma couldn't afford to have (y/n) kidnapped. The guy in the red suit held (y/n) tightly and said, "There's no way I'm failing this assignment. I have to take this girl to my boss and you can't stop me!"

        Gladion frowned his signature frown and wondered what the use of threatening (y/n)'s life with a butter knife would do if the guy needed her alive. Ryoko looked back at Gladion waiting for him to give her the order to rip the guy to shreds.

         He was obviously afraid of the midnight form Lycanroc as he was noticeably shaking. Gladion didn't need Ryoko to murder the guy so he decided to make small talk with him assuming that his level of intelligence wasn't too high.

      "Why do you need (y/n)? How do you even know that you have the right girl?" he asked. Gladion noticed that his grip on (y/n) loosened.

        "I...I...my boss said that the...a girl with weird pokémon would be going to the pokémon lab place thing. She's got that thing," he said pointing at Ryoko with the hand he had been using to hold the butter knife. "So she's got to be the right girl, right?"

      (Y/n) faught his grasp one last time and was finally able to break free. She ran to Gladion and gave him a quick hug before turning around to face the guy who had so far failed to kidnap her.

        "You ok, (y/n)?" Gladion asked. (Y/n) just nodded. "Uhh...umm...oh thank goodness you showed up!" the guy said. Gladion turned around to see a woman in a red suit that matched the one that the guy was wearing. The outfits were equally hideous.

        "You had one job! Just one!" said the woman. She seemed angry which was understandable but Gladion could care less.

         "We need to fight them if we want to get out of this one. You think you're up to it? Fighting with Moon won't be the same as fighting with your Umbreon," (y/n) said. Gladion just nodded. There was no time for conversation.

      "Well it looks like we're gonna have to beat you to a pulp to get what we want and all you seem to have is three pokémon, " the woman sneered. That's where she was wrong. Not only did (y/n) have a full party of pokémon with her but she was a champion which meant she wouldn't loose so easily. It took the best of the best to take (y/n) down and these goons certainly weren't even close to being to best.

      With Gladion comanding Moon and (y/n) currently commanding Ryoko, the two faught the people in the red suits who each had three pokémon. It was almost too easy. It was a close call for Moon who only had 15 hp left, but (y/n) slipped Gladion a max potion to use which Moon gladly took.

      Ryoko turned in the direction of the now harmless woman and howled quite scarily. The woman scambled away in fright and yelled, "Team Flare isn't done with you brats. We'll be back and we'll get what we want too!"

        The man in the other end of the ally raced after her barely avoiding getting bitten by a very angry Ryoko. (Y/n) laughed at Ryoko's actions and it made Gladion want to laugh too, but he couldn't.

      The moment (y/n) looked in his direction was the moment he fell into Necrozma's control again. His eyes dulled to gray once more and the whole world went black but soon turned white. The last thing Gladion heard was (y/n) shouting his name.

      "Crap," he muttered when he opened his eyes to find himself in his room back in Alola. His head hurt and it made him wonder if his fall had anything to do with it.

        "Just what do you want now?" Gladion asked sensing Necrozma's presence. The strange pokémon was already annoying enough.

        "I want you to listen," Necrozma said. Sure enough, Gladion began hearing the conversation of someone around him.

      "So there really isn't anything you can do to help him. Nothing at all?" It was (y/n)'s voice. She seemed concerned about something.

        "I've never seen anything like it. If it's at all like you said then it just might take a miracle to get him back to normal." It was some other voice that Gladion didn't recognize.

        "What kind of miracle, Professor Sycamore?" (Y/n) had a degree of aggression to her voice. Whatever ot was that she was talking about, she was very serious.
     
        "Hey calm down (y/n). What I'm saying is that there's a legend of a pokémon that fixes things like this or at least I think it might. It's called Xerneas. According to legend, it gives life to others and helps those who are sick or something along those lines," Sycamore said.

      "Aren't you the pokémon professor? Shouldn't you know?" said (y/n), a little skepticism in her voice.

        "It's a legend so I can't be sure. The only people lucky enough to have encounter this pokémon can only describe it as the letter X. I heard it's usually seen fighting the pokémon called Yveltal." That name certainly rang a bell.

"Yveltal? Are you sure that's the name?" (y/n) asked.

     "Yes, it is said to be the pokémon of death and it would make sense for the two to be fighting since Xerneas is the pokémon of life. Nobody knows..."

      "Where can I find them?" (y/n) interrupted. She was clearly in a rush.

        "You didn't let me finish. I was about to say that nobody knows their true whereabouts but they live here in Kalos so it's not impossible to find them," the professor said. If they live in Kalos then why had Yveltal been in Alola?

      "Alrighty then, doc. Thanks for the info. There is just one more thing I need to know though," (y/n) said.

        "I'm a professor not a doctor. Trust me on that. What is it that you need to know?" the professor replied.

        "Where's the first gym in Kanto located?" (y/n) asked. Gladion was slightly shocked. He was dying and (y/n) was worried about a gym? But she didn't know he was dying. All she knew was that he was sick. If he told her that he was actually going to die then she'd never let him leave her sight and she might starve herself. He'd seen her do it before once when he had a bad cold.

      She made sure nobody knew he was sick to spare him his embarrassment, she took care of him, and she never took her eyes off of him unless she accidentally fell alseep. She didn't move from her spot unless he had needed something. The thing is, she didn't eat for days and had gotten sick herself but recovered quickly.

      No, he couldn't put her under all of the extra stress. He returned his attention to the still ongoing conversation which didn't matter all that much since Necrozma would hear everything anyway.

        "Maybe she'll know something about the legendary. Thanks professor. I don't want to leave him here but as long as you promise to keep him safe, Gladion will need to stay with you until I can get my apartment ready," (y/n) said.

"No!" an angry Necrozma immediately spat. Gladion was forced awake and it caused him to cough as he struggled to catch his breath. His sudden jolting awake scared the professor and (y/n) half to death.

        The professor looked quite disturbed, but all (y/n) did was say, "Gladion you can't just go around jolting awake like that. You nearly gave me a heart attack." (Y/n) sure did have some odd ways.

      "Well come on. We need to make it to my new apartment before you...well before you pass out again." Gladion got up with little to no trouble at all and followed her to the elevator with the professor staring after him. Gladion kept his gaurd up as they walked. He couldn't have (y/n) get almost kidnapped again.
