No one's POV
It's been a few days and during that time, everyone participated in a Poke Dance class, and was told to make dance with their Pokémon, and during one Team Rockets's schemes, Mallow's Steenee had evolved into Tsareena. Currently, Nhazul was on the beach with his Pokémon, training, with Garchomp and Lucario fighting.
Nhazul: Lucario, Meteor Mash!
Lucario: Cario!
Nhazul: Garchomp, dodge it!
Lucario rushed towards Garchomp, attempting to hit it, only for Garchomp to dodge it, flying in the air.
Nhazul: Draco Meteor!
Firing off a blast into the air, they scattered and started raining down onto the ground.
Nhazul: Dodge, Lucario!
Lucario proceeded to run and jump, avoiding the blasts, rushing towards Garchomp.
Nhazul:Lucario, Close Combat!
Lucario proceeded to hit Garchomp with a flurry of strikes from Close Combat, slamming Garchomp into the ground, damaging himself slightly due to Rough Skin.
Nhazul: Brick Break!
Without warning, Garchomp backhanded Lucario down to the ground.
Nhazul: Meteor Mash! Brick Break!
Rocketing off the ground, Lucario hit Garchomp in the face with Meteor Mash,
only for Garchomp to once again smack him down to the ground, triggering Aura Storm.
Nhazul: Wrap it up! Garchomp, Giga Impact, Lucario, Aura Sphere!
Garchomp proceeded to rush towards each Lucario, as he charged up and fired off an aura enhanced Aura Sphere,
clashing and creating a large explosion, blowing one another back, as the two looked at each other, ready to keep going, but Nhazul stopped them by whistling.
Nhazul: Alright, that's enough, you two. Nice work.
Garchomp: Gar!
Lucario: Cario!
Nhazul: Alright then. Latias, Gren-
Suddenly, Type: Null walked up to Nhazul, surprising him.
Nhazul: Silvally? You want to battle?
Type: Null: Vally.
Nhazul smiled at Type: Null, as he rubbed its head.
Nhazul: I see. Then let's-
Suddenly, Nhazul was interrupted by Poipole hitting Lycanroc with Fury Attack.
Nhazul: What the...?
Suddenly, Ash ran over and grabbed Poipole by the tail.
Ash: Poipole! It's not your turn right now! Don't get in their way!
Poipole: Pole...
Ash: But that Fury Attack packed a punch!
Nhazul: When did it learn it?
Ash: Just now, surprisingly.
Poipole flew up happily and started spraying everyone with it's ink.
Nhazul: Can we please not..?!
Eevee: Vee...!
Poipole then flew to the sand and drew a picture of Pikachu, along with a lighting bolt.
Rotom Dex: Another of Poipole'd doodles!
Nhazul: It really seems to like Pikachu, a lot.
Poipole just started to nuzzle Pikachu's face happily,when Kukui called Nhazul and Ash.
Kukui: Ash! Nhazul!
Burnet: We're going shopping!
Kukui: Both of you use Quick Attack and come home!
Ash: Sure! Everyone, dash! Let's race to see who gets home first!
Ash and his Pokémon all ran off, making Nhazul sigh and chuckle.Nhazul then recalled everyone and walked back as well with Eevee jumping onto his shoulder.
(Timeskip)
After heading off to the markets, everyone began walking home with all their bags, when Poipole flew off, and up to a painter near a tree, looking at their paintings, amazed.
Poipole: Poipole...
???: Oh!
Seeing this, the others walked up to them.
Ash: Alola!
???: Ah! Alola, Alola!
Eevee and Nhazul looked at the pantings she had on display, and were surprised.
Nhazul: Wow...! These are beautiful...
Ash then noticed the Pokémon on her head.
Ash: Ah, it's a Ribombee!
???: Yeah. It's my partner.
Ribombee: Bee!
Burnet: Alola! What lovely paintings.
Poipole: Poipole...!

Everyone: Huh.
???: This one loves drawing!
Everyone looked at the girl surprised.
Everyone: Huh?!
Ash: How can you tell?
???: Ribombee told me.
Rotom Dex: You can understand what your Pokémon is saving?!
???: Well... Sort of?
Kukui: Ribombee can Synchronize with the hearts of people and Pokémon.
Burnet: It's said that Ribombee does this by using it's ability to distinguish flower auras.
???: We've been together for so long, that I kinda started to understand what it was sensing too.
Ribombee: Ribombee!
Ash: You're awesome, lady!
???: I'm the awesome Mina! And you are?
Ash: I'm Ash! This is Pikachu. And these are Poipole, Rotom and Munchlax.
Nhazul: I'm Nhazul, and this is Eevee.
Eevee: Vee!
Mina: It's a pleasure to meet you all!
(Timeskip)
It's the next day, and Ash and Nhazul brought the others to meet Mina and see her paintings.
Nhazul: Alola, Mina.
Mina: Ah! Alola!
Ash: This is Mina and Ribombee. Our friends said they wanted to meet you, so we brought them!
Everyone: Alola!
Mina: Alola, Alola!
As everyone proceeded to look at the paintings amazed by them, Kiawe looking at a panting of a volcano.
Kiawe: T-This painting... This painting... This painting...! Has the soul of Wela in it!
Lana was looking at a painting of the sea with a Primarina sitting on a rock.
Lana: How beautiful!
Popplio: Lio!
Growlith: Growl!
Lana: The Sea... Primarina too!
Popplio: Lio...
Nhazul: Primarina... That's Popplio's final evolution, right?
Lana: Yeah!

Ash: Lisia?
Serena: She's a top Pokémon Coordinator in Hoenn! I met her a few times while I was there.
Nhazul: If I'm not mistaken, she's the niece of the former Hoenn Champion Wallace.
Ash: Wait, that's Wallace's niece?!
Mallow: Mina, what are you painting now?
Mina: You mean this?
Everyone looked at Mina's current piece and saw it was a painting of Nhazul, Ash, Kukui and Burnet, along with the Pokémon, surprising them.

Poipole excitedly began to spray everyone with it's ink, and started drawing on the ground, surprising Mina, as she drew what it drew.
Mina: Ah! Poipole.
Poipole saw what Mina drew and smiled happily, while the others looked confused.
Sophocles: What are they doing?
Ash: Mina?
Mina: Ah! I'm sorry! Poipole's drawing was just overflowing with emotion, so...
Kiawe: Emotion?
Mina: Ribombee, please.

Poipole: Poipole!
Ash then started hugging Poipole.
Ash: Amazing, Poipole! You can draw your feelings?
Poipole: Poipole! Poipole!
Later in the night, currently Nhazul was done in Kukui's work area, as he and Eevee watched Poipole draw.
Nhazul: Huh.
Eevee: Vee!
Ash, Pikachu and Rotom all walked down and saw what Poipole was doing.
Ash: Isn't this...
Nhazul: It's been working on this for awhile.
Ash looked and saw Poipole had drew himself, Nhazul, Kukui, Burnet, and all of Ash's and Nhazul's Pokémon, all with it's "Like, like, love" mark on it.
Ash: It's Alolan family!
Rotom Dex: The "Like, like love" mark is next to all of us!
Ash: Thank you, Poipole!
Poipole: Poipole!
Rotom Dex: This is a great photo op!
Rotom proceeded to take a picture of everyone in front of Poipole's drawing.
(Timeskip)
It's the next day and currently, Poipole was drawing on the board, but it seemed to be in a trance, as it sadly drew, which the others noticed.
Pikachu: Pika...
Eevee: Vee...
Poipole: ...
Serena: What's the matter with Poipole?
Nhazul: I'm not sure. It seemed pretty off this morning.
Ash: Poipole...?
Poipole: Poipole...
Ash: Poipole...
As Poipole in it's trance, continued drawing, when Ash tapped it's shoulder, surprising it.
Ash: What's wrong, Poipole?
Poipole: Poipole...
Poipole flew into Ash's arms and started crying, surprising him.
Ash: Poipole...
Nhazul: This is new...
Everyone looked at the board and saw what Poipole drew, and at the new symbol.
Sophocles: What is this...?
Kiawe: I think...
Lana: Poipole's feelings.
Serena: But it was so happy yesterday. What could've happened in a day?
Lillie: Maybe we should ask Mina for help?
Ash: That's a good idea! Let's go after school.
(Timeskip)
Upon leaving school for the day, everyone made their way to see Mina again, but they saw she was being attacked by Team Skull.
Nhazul: Eevee, Shadow Ball!
Using Shadow Ball, Eevee blasted back one of the attacks, as Nhazul and Ash ran up to her.
Nhazul: Do you ever give it a rest?
Ash: 3 on 1? That's low!
Tupp: Can it! Another Toxic!
Rapp: Zubat, Air Cutter!
Zapp: Garbodor, Venoshock!
Salandit, Zubat and Garbodor all proceeded to attack the three of them, as Mina sighed.
Mina: Oh, fine. Ribombee, Pollen Puff!
Ribombee proceeded to throw a pollen ball into Zubat's mouth, as exploded, knocking it out.
Ash: Poipole, Fury Attack!
Nhazul: Eevee, Iron Tail!
Poipole proceeded to knock out Salandit with Fury Attack and Eevee hit Garbodor in the face with Iron Tail, sending it crashing into the wall, knocking it out. Upon being defeated, they recalled their Pokémon and ran away. As they did the others walked up and joined them. They then showed Mina Poipole's drawing.
Rotom Dex: Poipole drew this earlier.
Ash: While drawing it, it seemed to completely ignore us.
Lillie: It was caught up in it's drawing.
Mina: Ribombee.
Ribombee proceeded to land on Poipole's head, fluttering it's wings.
Ribombee: Ribombee, bee, bee!
Mina: It seems like it's having a lot of fun right now.
Nhazul: Well, that's good to hear.
Ash: What a relief...
Mina: But... I don't need Ribombee's help to understand how Poipole felt while drawing this.
Serena: How did it feel?
Mina: "I'm sad... I'm sad... I'm sad..."
Girls: "I'm sad.."?
Ash: I knew it...
Nhazul: Why the sudden shift though?
Ribombee: Ribombee, bee, bee!
Mina: Poipole might be carrying some kind of heavy burden.
Ash: Heavy burden?
Mina: Some kind of mission. I don't know what it is though.
Ash looked over at Poipole.
Ash: Poipole... I don't know why you're sad, or what sort of mission you might have...
Poipole: Poipole?
Ash: But you have me!
Nhazul: Ash's right.
Poipole: Poipole!
(Timeskip)
It's later in the night back at home, and currently Poipole was drawing on the celling of the house, and it was of the Radiant One, surprising everyone.
Rotom Dex: Ehhh?!
Nhazul: Isn't that...
Ash: We've seen this before!
Rotom Dex: It's the Radiant One! The Legendary from the book Acerola's library!
Ash: Come to think of it, Poipole was making a fuss back then, too..
Burnet: How odd... It's been awhile since you saw that book, right? So why did it draw it all if a sudden?
Kukui: It really is odd.
Nhazul: It's leaving the "Like, like, love" symbol on it as well. I wonder if Poipole is connected to it in some way...
