Your OC's go (or are dragged) somewhere sunny like Alola or Paldea for a holiday. What do they get up to?

Considering Elio's been to Alola on a multitude of occasions - either vacationing, as part of his journey or otherwise, a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶t̶r̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶P̶a̶l̶d̶e̶a̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶n̶-̶c̶a̶n̶o̶n̶ ̶s̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶I̶'̶m̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶f̶a̶n̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶g̶i̶o̶n̶, he would try to change up his activities but would most likely end up doing what he usually did before: either out of habit or because of circumstances.

First, he would check up on his ol' Team Skull buddies to see how they were doing; Elio treats them as an extended family because of how well they've treated him. They're one of the few groups that understood him as a person and a major reason he was able to achieve incredible strides in his emotional maturity, further stimulating his need for freedom and inadvertently teaching him the true meaning of "found family". He would help them train or simply hang out with them, especially Guzma and Plumeria.

Then he'd do some exploring around the islands to see if anything changed; it ranges from shopping to engaging in various activities native to each island. Occasionally, he would encounter an Ultra Wormhole here and there - naturally battling any Pokemon that would come out of it: whether they'd be normal, a legendary/mythical, or an Ultra Beast. This would culminate in his visiting the Battle Tree and meeting up with Red, Blue, and Leaf; the four would catch up and a battle would most likely ensue, ending in Elio's (one-sided) victory. He would do a run or two of said tree before going about his business.

Prior to the organization's reformation, Elio was required to submit any new information on Keter either on demand or whenever he was in the area. Though it's no longer necessary per the Necrozma crisis being resolved and Lusamine's hospitalization, he would still visit the foundation out of habit - doing volunteer work alongside other visiting trainers and island residents in one of their many charity events and fundraisers. The foundation deeply appreciates his volunteering in part to Elio's presence increasing publicity for said organization, making it easier to connect with larger and more renowned NPOs, families, and conglomerates - thus gaining additional funding and support.
