The minute those words left my mouth; Olivia's full expression changed from happy to sad. I could almost tell she didn't want to believe it, as I did when I first heard the heartbreaking news.

"Emethyst, I-" she stammered. "Oh my gosh.." Olivia looked down at the ground. I could tell she was in shock. "But, how?" She asked.

"Car crash." I said, as blankly as I possibly could. I didn't want this subject to come up, but I knew it was something that had to eventually be talked about.

Olivia looked at me in disbelief, tears welling in her eyes as she turned to my dad. "Did you know?!" She yelled at my dad, now sounding angry.

"Of-of course I did." He stammered, not knowing how to really react.

"Why didn't you tell me?!?!" She yelled, now getting angrier. I will admit, as sweet as she seemed, Olivia didn't seem like the type to mess with. I could tell my dad was about to get an earful.

"I was gonna tell you eventually, just I wanted to wait until the right time..." My dad said nervously, as he put his hands up.

Olivia went red in the face. "The right time was as soon as it happened!! Are you kidding me right now?!?!" She yelled, getting angrier with each word. Tears began to form in her eyes.

I immediately regretted telling her. "Olivia, I'm so sorry..." I said, quickly expecting her to come down on me.

Olivia then turned to me, and smiled through her tears. "Sweetheart, no. You don't need to apologize." She then turned her anger towards my father. "I literally cannot believe you right now," She said, calmly, but I could still hear the anger in her voice. "You let your daughter of all people tell me her mother died, and you just stand there. It's no wonder Crystal moved away from you. Maybe it was good Emethyst grew up away from you!" She yelled finally, letting him have it.

"Emethyst, go to the beach." My dad ordered to me, getting angry.

Olivia then intervened. "No! I'll see myself out in just a moment. She's done nothing wrong! You, Kukui, need to man up! You don't let your fourteen year old daughter tell someone you've known forever that her mother has passed away!" She yelled. With that, she headed to the door.

"Come on, Lycanroc." She said. She then turned back to my dad. "I'll see you Monday, maybe." She said, as she walked out the door.

The door then closed behind her, and it was now silent. My eyes were wide and my mouth was wide open. I couldn't believe what I had witnessed. I was almost tempted to tell Haunter to lick me. My dad just stared at the door blankly, not exactly sure what to do.

"Emethyst, please go to the loft." My dad finally said, his eyes still focused on the door. I could see small tears forming in his eyes.

I looked up at him in disbelief. "You're kidding me, right?" I could barely believe him.

"Emethyst, you heard me! The loft, now!" He approached me, yelling.

Haunter then turned angry, and began charging a sludge bomb. I immediately noticed this, and put my arms around his gaseous body. "Haunter, no! It's fine!" I yelled, tears beginning to well in my eyes.

"You need to get that Haunter under control!" My dad yelled at me.

"He's only trying to protect me!" I spat back. "Something my mother was obviously trying to do! I wish you were the one who was dead, and not her!" I yelled, instantly regretting I said that, but my anger got the better of me. Instead of running to the loft, I ran to the door and ran outside. Crying hysterically, to the point where I couldn't catch my breath. Haunter floated after me, as I ran down the steps to the beach.

"Emethyst!" My dad called out, running after me. He charged right after me. I wasn't in the mood to deal with him; Not after the conversation we just had. Acting on impulse, I did the unthinkable.

"Haunter! Shadow Ball now!" I yelled, as I turned around pointing my finger at my dad. Haunter responded by charging the shadow ball, and shot it straight at my dad.

"I hope you know ghost type moves have no effect on humans! We're like normal types!" He called out, as he stopped running. We were on the beach now.

"Why do you think I told him to use it? I mean, I can use sludge bomb if you would like me to!" I called back out.

My dad then put his hand on his forehead, and took his glasses off. "Emethyst, no. Please come home." He said, sounding like he was regretting what happened. But I wasn't too sure.

"Why should I?" I spat back. Haunter was in front of me, acting like a guard. However, I called him back over by my side. I didn't want him to feel the need he had to protect me from my own father.

"That argument should have never happened. I'm sorry, Emethyst. Please.. come back home." He said, his voice cracking. "I'm not perfect, and I regret alot of the things I've done. Please, let me make it right." He plead. I could see tears forming in his eyes with his glasses off.

I sighed. I knew I had to give him a chance, as I said I would. "Okay." I said, blankly. I looked sadly down at the ground. The waves were crashing, and the moon was shining brightly on the ocean. It was a relaxing and soothing scene. However, the argument was still on my mind, and I began sobbing uncontrollably. Everything from the last month just came and hit me like a cross chop. It was enough to take me to my knees. I was sobbing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. I was blinded by my tears that fell like rain. I finally let out all of my emotional tormoil. "I JUST WANT ALL OF THIS PAIN TO GO AWAY! I JUST WANT TO SMILE AND BE HAPPY AGAIN! I WANT EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL!! I'M SO TIRED OF LIVING AND FEELING THIS WAY! I JUST WANT MY MOM BACK!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, my chest heaving trying to catch my breath. I sobbed uncontrollably.

"Haunt.." I heard Haunter say. I could see him out of my partially blinded tears trying to make his funny faces to cheer me up as he always did, but it wasn't working. Haunter soon realized this, and hugged my shoulders.

Suddenly, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I heard my dad sit down behind me. "Emethyst, please. Let me fix things." He sobbed deeply behind me, as he hugged me tighter. This didn't really help my crying. "I know I wasn't there all that time, and I'm so sorry I wasn't. I was a toxic person back then, but I want to make things right between us. I'm far from perfect, and I will make mistakes. But please.. we can get through this together..." He said, pleading through tears. "And Haunter, I'm so sorry I snapped at you earlier." He said to Haunter.

I used my hoodie sleeves to wipe my face. I then turned to face him, his arms releasing from me. My eyes focused on his face. He looked different without his glasses, but not completely. I could now see more clearly where I got some of my features from, especially my eyes. I allowed a small smile through my tears.

"Emethyst, if you ever feel anymore negative emotions, please come to me. I don't want you to feel this way ever again. I don't care if we're in the middle of a lesson at Pokemon School." My dad said, as he looked right at me. My dad then gazed at me, in a way he hasn't done before or at all for that matter. "Wow. I never actually realized how much you look like me until now. Rotom Dex was right, our eyes are like exact copies." My dad said, hugging me tight to where my right cheek was in his chest skin. That brought another thought to my head. Why doesn't he wear a shirt? I thought.

"Yeah. I often wondered who I look like. I look hardly anything like my mom." I said, rolling my eyes a little playfully.

"Hey now, that's not entirely true," He said. "I see a little of your mother in you. You definitely get your beauty from her." He said, as he looked over at the ocean, as if he were recalling a long lost memory. He then got a sad look in his eyes.

"Something wrong dad?" I asked, as I looked up at his face.

He shook his head quickly side to side, as if snapping out of a daze. "No, not at all." He said. "Come on, let's head back." He smiled, as he stood up. He took my hand, and helped me up.

Just then, I saw Ash's familiar blue and red clothed figure run outside and overlook the beach, as he then spotted us. "There you guys are! Are you okay?" He called out.

My dad and I both gave a thumbs up at the same time. We both then looked at each other, and began laughing.

I was one hundred percent ready to begin my new life in Alola.
