(Set 3 years after sun/moon. They weren't 11, the 3 mains were 16, Gladion was 14 and Lillie was 12. Guzma wasn't a donkey, and he stopped when he realised that the UB's were killing people. Gladion left because he couldn't stand the hate in Alola and found some friends. Null is Gladion's nickname for Silvally. Wicke is owner of Aether and Sun and Moon regularly fight for the title of champion. Feedback is appreciated. Sun/Moon spoilers. Chapter 1-6 are in the process of being rewritten so this story will change.)

Gladion stood there, watching the ocean. He was on the prow of a white ship that was going from Humilau City in Unova to Hau'oli City in Alola and he felt sick. He heard footsteps behind. Ly.

He didn't know her full name. All he knew was that she was from Icirrus City and had taken care of him and Null for the past three years. She stopped behind him. "Worried?" She asked, putting her forearms on the handrail. "A little. What if they reject me? What will I do then?"

She was silent for a while, before: " I'm going to touch you, okay?" He grunted in reply and she gently began massaging his shoulders. "If they are who you say they are, they'll welcome you back with open arms. Alright?"

Gladion nodded and they stood, staring at the Alolan sea.

Bit short, I know, but I've got a new, really nervous dog and I can't listen to music like normal. Hope you enjoyed!
