Alvera, in a drunken state and wearing only a black bikini, immediately leapt high into the air from the yacht, clearing the distance between it and Alex in a single bound. Her arms and legs spread wide as she descended toward him with a bright smile.

“Daaaaaddy~” she shouted happily.

Alex opened his arms and easily caught Alvera in a princess carry while carefully cradling her neck, which seemed particularly limp, much like her other limbs. Apart from that, he couldn’t detect anything else wrong with her other than being mentally drunk and infantile.

“Ehehe, daddy,” Alvera muttered as she slowly drifted into a secure sleep, nestling in his arms.

“Rotom,” Alex called out. “Bring out a Full Restore—the syringe one.”

Alex’s backpack rustled before a syringe floated out, inhabited by Rotom. It pressed against Alvera’s neck, earning a slight frown from her as it injected the Full Restore directly into her veins before capping itself and retreating back into the bag.

This form of application was often considered quite dangerous since injecting too much could overwhelm a human’s body. As a result, it was usually sprayed topically instead. As an Elite ranked trainer, however, Alvera could handle the excessive vitality with ease. Depending on the results, a similar dosage should work on the twins as well, who had passed out on the railings of the yacht.

A few seconds later, Alvera’s eyes shot open and she drove a full-powered uppercut into Alex’s jaw, snapping his head back. Then, she grabbed his collar with both hands, kicked out with her legs for leverage, and twisted her waist hard. Using torque reinforced by her Elite ranked strength, she attempted to execute a shoulder throw despite still being carried.

Alex reacted instantly, sending a wisp of Dark type energy across his back and slicing through his floral-print Alolan shirt before Alvera could complete the throw. The fabric ripped apart from his chest instead, exposing his muscular upper body as the ruined shirt was discarded.

Realizing the throw had failed, Alvera immediately pushed off his chest and landed several feet away in a fighting stance. Both fists rose to guard her head, her back hunched low and legs spread apart, ready to face any threat.

“See that, Lila?” Alex said with a proud smile. “Perfect form and execution from a compromised position. You need to learn how to fight like your big sister and develop those same instincts.”

“Yes, dad,” she said obediently.

“Dad?” Alvera asked, finally regaining her wits. “What? Who? Where are the guys? The twins?”

“Welcome back, sweetie,” Alex said. “You were drugged with something that could knock out early Expert ranked trainers. The twins are on that yacht over there. Why don’t you go get them so we can administer some medicine to get them back on their feet?”

Alvera turned to where her dad pointed and saw Malia and Nohea passed out over the railings as her memory slowly returned. She remembered having fun with the twins on the beach, then sex on the yacht with random men. After that, her memory began to blur, leaving only bits and pieces, mostly of men screaming in high-pitched tones.

“Arceus! What have I done!?” she exclaimed before running back to the yacht and bringing the twins to her dad.

Rotom popped out of the bag and injected less than half the dosage Alvera had been given into the twins. It was a bit stronger than their bodies could comfortably take, but they were particularly affected by the drug, so it was just right based on Rotom’s understanding of medicine.

“Is that your daughter?” Officer Jenny asked. “She did a real number on those guys. All their testicles were ruptured, with their blood soaking the entire deck of the yacht. I had to administer Potions just to keep them alive.”

Lila’s eyes widened in shock as inspiration formed in her mind. She could learn a lot from her big sister.

“Do a psychic evaluation on them under my authority,” Alex replied as he finished putting on a new shirt. The old one already had a hole in it, so he didn’t mind that Alvera ripped it to shreds. “I bet you’ll find some damning evidence in their minds.”

“You think they’re responsible for the other girls as well?”

“My daughter and her friends were drugged, so yes, I believe so. Of course, if I’m wrong, their families are free to sue me.”

“I’ll add that to the report.”

Suddenly, Malia and Nohea both sat up, immediately alert. They took a moment to look around before slowly piecing things together. Alvera explained the situation as best as her foggy memory could recall. Then, she turned to her dad with a pitiful expression.

“Um… dad?” Alvera called out. “Can we… keep this a secret from their parents?”

“All three of you are already adults,” Alex said. “Whether to tell your parents or not is completely up to you.” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

“Ugh!” Alvera groaned. “Can you and Lila both keep this a secret from everyone else?”

“What do you think, Lila?” Alex asked, looking down at Lila beside him.

“Hm… I don’t know~” Lila said, tilting her head slightly and looking up with an innocent expression as she pressed a finger to her chin. “Can I?”

“You’re blackmailing me!?” Alvera exclaimed. “Alright, brat. What do you want?”

“Teach me how you managed to destroy their balls!” Lila said, pointing at the men on the yacht being carried out on stretchers.

“You can learn that from Dad, you know.”

“Actually,” Alex said, “I rarely target that area unless I have to, so you probably have better expertise at this point.”

“You heard him,” Lila said with a smile.

“Alright! Fine!” Alvera said, exasperated. “I’ll teach you how to destroy guys’ balls.”

“Yey!”

With Malia and Nohea fully recovered, remembering only the fun times, Alex took his daughters and the twins out for some ice cream. They kind of deserved it after what they had been through. Then, they met up with the rest of the group to go shopping.

As promised, Alex and Lila kept their mouths shut and didn’t rat out the girls and their activities. But nothing could be kept secret for long as Nyx approached Alvera and the twins while the three were looking over some clothes in a store, trying their best to forget everything that had happened.

“I know what you did,” Nyx whispered.

“What… what do you mean?” Alvera stuttered while the twins behind her started sweating.

“You three had some fun, didn’t you?” Nyx pressed, with a sly smile.

Alvera pulled Nyx along to a quiet corner before asking in an angry tone, “Did dad tell on us, or was it Lila?”

“I’m the Director of the Silver Network, you know. Of course I would know about everything that happens on the police network. You three were quite naughty.”

“It’s not that big of a deal,” Alvera insisted. “Mother Lyra and Mika did it all the time.”

“I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just saying, you did a good job, literally busting their balls. They were all given 50 years in prison for what they did to you three and for previous crimes, with the richer ones unable to escape punishment because Alex insisted on a psychic evaluation under his authority. The best part is that their request for reconstructive surgery was refused until after they had served their sentence.”

“That’s good,” Alvera said with a sigh of relief. “I’m just glad I didn’t kill any of them. They would have gotten off lighter otherwise.”

“Like I said,” Nyx said with a mischievous smile. “You did a good job.”

With the day’s events behind them and their secret kept relatively safe, Alvera and the twins avoided any more excitement for the time being. They had their fun and were going to enjoy their downtime from then on.

Alex and the group spent the rest of their stay in Heahea City in peace. They went shopping, spent a day at the beach, and enjoyed the amenities, which included massages and spa treatments, before finally leaving a week later, making full use of their reservation. There were simply too many amenities to enjoy for them to leave any earlier.

After leaving Heahea City, the group’s next stop was Konikoni City, and the route they took led them through Diglett Tunnel. They could have flown or taken a ship, but Alex considered it part of the experience, regaling them with tales of his, Lyra, Mika, and Sable’s adventure in the Sinnoh region and the Grand Underground.

Every one of them, apart from the kids, was a powerful trainer, so they had no problem walking underground for a few days. They slept in Alex’s portable home anyway, so aside from the long trek without sunlight, they barely suffered at all.

Once they reached the other end of the tunnel, they entered Konikoni City, Akala Island’s artisan hub, where locals eagerly made and sold specialty goods. The city was best known for its deep ties to craftsmanship, with specialized shops and services catering to Trainers and travelers passing through, offering items such as handmade shell jewelry, carved volcanic stone charms, locally brewed restorative tonics, and custom Poké Ball modifications.

Built along a rugged shoreline of dark volcanic rock and turquoise water, Konikoni is characterized by compact, weathered buildings, open-air stalls, and winding paths that follow the natural contours of the coast. The constant sea breeze carries salt and the sound of waves into its narrow streets, while nearby cliffs and ocean views give it a relaxed, tropical atmosphere.

The group spent a night there and spent the following morning shopping again. By the afternoon, they set off, riding Alex’s Mantine over the open sea toward the airship, which was already waiting for them and piloted by Nyx’s Rotom.

They settled in for the night in comfortable, luxurious accommodations while the airship headed for the next island to the west, Melemele Island, where the region’s Champion was said to have been born and began their journey.
