A/N: How lucky are you? Another chapter and it hasn't even been a week!?!?!?!? You're welcome - actually no I'm just really sorry..... I need to apologize for the quality of these chapters recently. I am very disappointed in myself. Hopefully this chapter is alright..... I'm sorry if it isn't. I am especially sorry to miraculously_awesome I know how highly you expect of this story and...... I have let you down. Enjoy.

Gladions pov:

Apart from Serena they all seemed to recognise the girl. Interesting.

Ash's pov:

"Tha-that-that's that girl!!!! I knew she wasn't another made up human being!!!" I said with triumph.

"Yes I've seen her too." Lillie added. "Remember, Serena, when we were in that walk and just before we started to battle she.... Appeared and then......"

"Then what Lillie?"

"...... Then disappeared......." She said in a puzzled tone.

"Wow." I replied. "I've seen her twice since arriving in alola, the first was at my victory party - she was like hiding in the shadows.......... It was really spooky!! The second time was when we were first attacked by team skull. She was just watching us........ So weird........"

"That's so odd ash....." Mallow added. "Because the same thing happened to me, lana and kwaii!"

"What happened melon???"

Melons pov:

"Basically.... A few weeks after ash first arrived... We were doing some research for cookie. It was a sunny day. The sky was blue. The sea was blue. Lanas hair was blue. Just your average day........"

"When.........." Kwaii interupted. "She appeared."

"Kwaiiiiii this is myyy storyyyyy!!!!" I wailed.

"Fine."

I continued, "We were trying to investigate a murder mystery involving a victim of a Rowlet and three suspects - but that's a story for another time..... Anyway we were trying to concentrate when we heard the girl battling this preschool girl - she won - of course. But she was weird...... Just something about her seemed...... Out of place..........."

Normal pov:

The group of puzzled tweens discussed this mysterious girl they had seen on their travels through alola. It turned out they had all seen this girl - did that mean she had connections with all of them.......???

It was then the raven haired boy spoke up.

"Hmm - this is so strange, gladdion, have you seen her before???"

"No. Ash. That is why I asked you... Because I need to find her...... Like I said." The bad-boy blonde replied.

Ash, feeling silly now, turned to his other blonde haired friend, the female one.

"I've just realised something.... She always knows where we are......... She knew ash was at his victory party, she knew when we left island no. 1, she knew where me and Serena went in our walk. These aren't just coincidences.........."

"You're right Lillie!!" The seaweed-haired female spoke up.

"..." Lana added.

"I know!" Kwaii started in his usual cool, calm and collected tone. "This may be stretch but, she might turn up at ash's water trial - at Lana Lagoons....."

"You're right Ricky!!" Ash exclaimed.

"Ash for the last time my name is KWAII not Ricky!!!"

"..." Was the extent of ash's response.

"Well let's continue on the road to Lana Lagoons and keep our eyes peeled for this girl!" Serena, the honey -haired female stated, pointing at the photograph.

"Hmph..." Gladdion inputted.

***So they continued their jouney to soon end up at the home of the water trial***

Lillies pov:

I must admit, I felt a little on edge after realising that this girl, whom we had no idea of said girls identity, was following us around alola. Wow that was a long sentence.

But now, at Lana Lagoons, I can distract myself by watching ash's trial.

***1 battle later***

"I-I lost......" Ash stammered under his breath. "I lost." He said, this time with more certainty.

I looked around at everyone and the same shocked and sad expression was plastered on their faces.

"AAHHHHHH" Ash wailed. "THE BETRAYERS WERE RIGHT, I AM JUST A FAILURE!!!!" HE shouted at the top of his voice. And with that he ran out of the cove where the battle took place and stormed of to who knows where.

What should I do?

"Oh ash..." I whispered to myself.
