Alex walked over to where Robert, Hau, Lillie, and I were standing, which was just 15 feet shy of Team Skull and this Team Radiance.

"Now, won't you both please cooperate? I don't want either of you to get hurt." Cassandra said this in a sweet voice, but there was an iron tone behind it.

The Skull grunts looked at each and spoke in unison, "We're outta here yo." Then they ran for the back of the mall.

"After them." Cassandra said with annoyance.

Her grunts took off after Team Skull while she walked over to us.

She looked at us in turn. "Which one of you fended off Team Skull?"

Hau and I looked at each other. "Both of us."

Cassandra smiled. "Wonderful. I love trainers who can help Alola by ridding of the riffraff."

She dug into her hand into a pocket on her jumpsuit. She pulled out a rectangular device.

She handed it to me. "This is a device that will allow you to contact Team Radiant if you happen across Team Skull again. I would give one to all of you, but I only have one."

"Thanks," I said, putting on a smile. "But who exactly are you."

She laughed. "Cassandra, leader of Team Radiant and our mission is to have Alola shine brightly again without anyone or anything darkening the light."

Something beeped on Cassandra's left wrist. She pulled back her sleeve to reveal a watch of sorts. She pressed a button and a voice spoke through it.

"We lost Team Skull ma'am," The voice said. "But we found something else. You might want to check it out. Sending you our coordinates now."

Cassandra sighed. "I'll be there soon."

She pressed another button, then pushed her sleeve back down. "Well then, nice meeting you all."

She started to walk away, then turned around. "What were your names again?"

"Zeno." I said while my friends said their names.

She nodded. "A pleasure to meet you all."

As she turned away, her eyes locked onto mine and I thought I saw something like recognition in them. However, she turned and walked away.

Alex motioned us to follow her. We walked outside and Alex turned to us.

"Do you guys realize who she is!?" She asked.

"Leader of Team Radiant maybe." Hau said sarcastically.

Alex shook her head and Lillie responded to what Hau said. "Yes Hau, but like Team Skull, Team Radiant is basically just an evil gang."

"So, Radiant and Skull are rival gangs?" Robert asked.

Alex nodded. "Radiant is relatively new, but I'm still surprised you didn't hear about it Hau. Especially with your grandfather being a Kahuna and all.
