Ira nods grimly. "Right, so that's something to keep an eye out for. Still, least with that kinda thing, you know where you stand." Either out of its reach or in its mouth. He thinks but doesn't say. "These Nihelgo... there's gotta be some way of knowing when they're around and what they're doing to people."
He thinks for a moment. Need to get to work deciphering that book as soon as I can.

A knock on the door startles you. Kukui, who doesn't seem to be phased by, well, anything, says "Come in!" Cousin Hau pokes his head inside the lab. "Hey, guys!" he says. "It's getting late, so I thought I'd look for y'all and get ya home." You look at the clock, and good heavens, he's right! These bright Alolan days will take some getting used to.

Elise was in deep thoughts about those strange pokémon when Hau came to get them.
"oh... right. Guess we'll have to leave for now. See you later professor." Elise said to the professor while heading for the door.

Kane leaps over to Hau
"Hau! Hau! Guess what?! I brought the collector's edition of adventures of Nio so we can watch at least the first two seasons tonight!!!"

Hau (who is something of a Nio fan, though not to the "dress up and pretend to be a hero" extent Kane is) inhales sharply, eyes growing wide. "You mean the collector's edition? The same one with every director's cut episode and the unreleased endings for seasons 2 through 12???"

Ira sighs, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards a little before he pulls them back down. "Okay, home it is. Hope you've got a good tv, Hau, you'll need it to hear over Kane's... enthusiasm." He grunts a little, thinking himself far too serious to use the term Squeeing.
"Mind you, better not be too loud - I've got some... essential reading to do."

"Good that you mention it. I plan to practice a little in the evening. Maybe I can try some more tranquil melodies... or is there some other nearby place I could try my guitar out?" She asked her cousin as she made a mental note to never forget it again, in case something crazy like today happens again.

Hau thinks for a moment as he leads you all home. "Yeah, there's an arena out back; Grandpa uses it for practice. You could use it." Rotom, meanwhile, floats over to Kane, saying "I have never heard of this 'Nio.' Is it a Pokemon?"

Kane's disposition switches quickly out of no where. He abruptly grabs rotom by the handles and gets as far into its face as possible
"You poor, simple pilgrim. You are lost. But fear not. Today, you have been found, and I shall bring you the light."

You return to Grandpa Hala's house; thanks to Kane's hype, Rotom is now a Nio fan. Opening the door, you smell something delicious being cooked. Inside, watching something on TV, is a large Pokemon. It sits in front of the couch, not on it, and looks up as you enter, but quickly returns to watching TV.

"What's that smell?" Elise asked excitedly after sniffing in the air.

"Dinner!" Grandpa Hala replies, stepping into the room while wiping his hands clean with a towel. "Machamp wanted to learn how to cook, so I'm teaching it how. Those extra arms come in handy."

"Machamp's cooking, huh?" Ira thinks. He was really hoping to get down to cracking that book as soon as possible but it has been a long day and his stomach had basically made the decision for him.
"Sounds good - probably has a lot of protein if nothing else."

Kane darted his eyes between grandpa and the Pokémon a few times before addressing the Pokémon once more
”Grandpa! Another old man that looks just like you came out of the kitchen!! What do we do?!

As Elise smelled the food and her stomach could only make noise at that word. Even if it was terrible it probably couldn't be worse than at uncle stan. At least from the way it smelled that wouldn't be the case.
"Yay! Dinner!" Elise happily shouted while jumping. Just as she went down she realized how long today had been.

As you all sit down around the table, the massive Pokemon watching TV turns it off (it was a commercial anyway) and lumbers in and takes its place next to Grandpa Hala. Machamp comes in from the kitchen, expertly balancing dishes on its four arms, and boy, does that food look and smell good! Way better than that airline food- and much better than Great Uncle Stan's food. As you tuck in, Hala gives you all a curious look- a look you've seen on your parents' faces before. Maybe it's the Rotom Dex flitting about, snapping photos of the food, but he seems to know you guys have been through something today- he's just not sure exactly what. "So did anything interesting happen today?" he asks, steadily wearing the massive pile of food on his plate down to nothing. Ira Grandpa Hala is an Island Kahuna- like a mayor, or a Gym Leader. He's got a certain amount of authority, at least on this island. Maybe you can use that?

Ira hums for a moment. Grandpa Hala is in a high position, but that's something of a double-edged sword. He could help them a lot but is probably under a fair bit of scrutiny. After a moment, he decides to play it safe and not mention the book for the moment.
"Well, it's been kinda crazy. had a couple battle, met some... interesting people - a crazy guitarist, a couple of... twins and... well, had a bit of a run-in with a real nasty sort. Name of Brandon - don't worry we got the police involved but still... yeesh. Is every day around here like that?"

"The guitar guy had a name thank you very much! It was Bard. He's silly, but fun to hang around. OH! We also got to see the ocean, a forest I think, and a number of different crime scenes!!"
