Ryuki was pleased with the battles and gave each of them his badge, which was a yellow circle with a caricature of him. Liam thanked Ryuki. He was ready to go back to the Pokémon Center to heal up. His phone buzzed with a news alert that Lusamine announced that the Alola, Manalo Conference would be held in two weeks. She also said that trainers could register now at any Pokémon Center and that they needed to be on Manalo Island by 6 pm the night before for opening ceremonies. As the video ended, Liam got a video call from Karen of the Johto Elite Four. Liam excused himself and answered.
 	"Alola Karen," Liam said with a smile.
	"Greetings Champion Coleman," Karen said. "You have a challenger waiting here at Mt. Silver. You need to return to Johto."
	"Alright Karen, give me an hour and I'll have Sherlock teleport me there," Liam told her.
	"Very well, we will see you soon," Karen said hanging up. Liam returned to his friends and told them he had a challenger back at Mt. Silver waiting for him. He had to go run an errand real quick before having Sherlock teleport him to Mt. Silver. He picked up Slushie and looked at him.
	"Hey Shiranui, will you look after Slushie for me while I go back to Johto?" Liam asked.
