Pokemon Sun and Moon Story
It's been a few years since Lyn first recieved her Pichu. Riding her bicycle to the Alola region's laboratory, the ten year old is hoping to start off new with a starter from this region instead of using her Pichu. Her Pichu - now a Pikachu - is with her older sister now.
"Go ahead," Lyn told her sister, Lena. "I am going to start off fresh."
"Okay then," Lena replied. "I'll make sure that Pikachu is doing just fine until you come back, okay?"
"Alright," Lyn replied back.
This happened exactly one hour and twenty-three minutes before. Lyn was excited to recieve her first actual Pokemon, which she had hoped was a Litten. Litten... The fire cat Pokemon... The perfect one for Lyn!
Her friends, Max and Bonnie, were indeed getting their starters as well, but her senses knew that they were already on their way to pick up their starters just like her. She plans to travel with them both, of course. She was too much focused on choosing her starter to worry about anything else.
"I sure hope that Litten's there waiting for me," Lyn said to herself. "I've gotta choose it before Max or Bonnie does!"
As she was riding to Professor Kukui's laboratory, she noticed the absense of Pokemon battles and contests. Instead, there were groups of kids walking with chaperones. Was she sent here for another reason? No, she simply couldn't be sent here for that! There had to be a battle somewhere! She did hear her mother and sister talk about sending her to a summer camp... Could that be it? She just had to know! She really wanted to pursue her dream as a champion, just like Ash Ketchum when she met him in Kalos three years before.
At last! She finally reaches the Laboratory! She sees quite a few people there, including Professor Kukui, Bonnie, Max, and a slightly older girl with blonde hair and a long white hat which covered a pretty good amount of her face. The slightly older girl, Lillie, appeared to be the professor's assistant. Lillie was the first to come up to Lyn and give her a white tag. What was this tag? This tag, of course, is a name tag. The name tag actually had Lyn's name written on it.
A thank you comes from Lyn, as she is waiting eagerly for her turn to pick her starter.
"Lyn, Max, Bonnie," Lillie calls out. "These three need to come to the main room to pick their starter."
Lyn is very cheerful at this moment. She's gonna go to the main room! She's gotta pick her starter! She's too excited to the point to where she couldn't speak. As the three followed Lillie into the main room, Lyn couldn't help but be amazed by all the things she saw. Many Pokemon books, manga, and even some plush toys. This moment was going to be in her life for a very long time!
"Here we are," Lillie said to the three. "Now, since we're going in order of who came here and got their name tag first, Bonnie gets to pick hers."
Bonnie went up to the three starter Pokemon and stared at them in awe.
"They are so cute!" Bonnie exclaimed.
They were indeed cute, but Lyn already knew who she was going to choose; A cute male cat Pokemon, Litten, who was cheerfully playing with a female Rowlet, the grass owl Pokemon, while a male water seal, Popplio, was sitting there with puppy eyes, wanting to get picked. That same Popplio was so anxious to get his new trainer.
Bonnie didn't know who to pick at the moment, so she let the next person go and pick their first Pokemon.
"Since Bonnie is going to think about choosing her starter, I'm going to let Max go next," Lillie told the three.
Max went up to the three starters and paid attention to them carefully. He knew that whoever he picked would be by his side for pretty much the rest of his life. Rowlet, the grass owl, flew up to Max and landed on his shoulder.
"Koo Koo!"
"This Pokemon is so adorable," Max said, pointing at the Rowlet on his shoulder. "I choose this one!"
The owl Pokemon was so excited to hear that Max was choosing her. As Max recieved Rowlet's Pokeball, he goes back to his seat and waits for the others to choose their starters.
Up next was Bonnie. After she waited for a while, she decided who she was going to pick.
"Popplio, I choose you!" She proudly said.
This means one thing; Litten is Lyn's Pokemon! As Bonnie and Popplio sit back down, Lyn is holding out her hand with some Pokemon food.
"Litten," Lyn commanded. "Come here!"
Litten listened to the command and came to Lyn's assist, eating the Pokemon food left for it.
"Litten, Litten!"
Litten ate the food given and smiled with food crumbs all over his face.
"Lit!"
Lyn's Litten walks over to Max's Rowlet, giving her wings a playful bite.
"Koo!"
The Owl Pokemon decided to play with Litten. As the two chased each other, they were breaking glasses and even experiments that Professor Kukui was working on.
"Hold it," Lillie said. "Max, Lyn, you both need to be careful with your Pokemon and let them know when to stop."
Max and Lyn went over to their Pokemon and did what Lillie said for them to do.
"Litten," Lyn said. "I know you like to play with Rowlet, but it's never okay to rough play."
Instead of listening to what Lyn said, Litten did his own thing, breaking all the items in the lab.
"Lyn," Max asked as Rowlet landed on his shoulder. "Why is Litten not listening to you?"
"I don't know," Lyn replied. "It really needs to stop breaking all the stuff in the lab! Litten, please... Stop right now!"
"Lit! Litten!"
It was too late. Litten came up to Popplio and started messing around with all of items in Bonnie's tote bag, as well as the items in the laboratory. Lillie had enough of it.
"Lyn, I know this is your first day, but you did go to a Pokemon training school, right?" Lillie had asked Lyn, who was frantically trying to calm down her hotheaded Litten.
"Not really," Lyn replied, still trying to calm down Litten. "I learned from my older sister, who told me about taking care of Pokemon. I raised a Pichu for the longest time, and she wasn't this mean or tricky..."
"Well, you've gotta learn to handle a tricky Pokemon," Lillie told her. "All Litten are tricky and playful with their trainers. That's just how a Litten is."
Lyn looked at Litten in a very disappointed way, as if she was disappointed in herself.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you, Litten," Lyn apologized. "I shouldn't of acted the way I did towards you. I think we could be very good friends, if we just try."
Litten smiled at his trainer, and eventually went into his Pokeball. Since it was time to go back into the front room, Lyn, Max and Bonnie all walked together, talking about the experience they just had.
"So, it was strange that Lyn's Litten would do what it did, right?" Bonnie asked.
"Well, to be honest," Lyn replied. "I don't think it meant to..."
"I honestly have to disagree. I think your Litten is a bit of a hot head... Ash's Pikachu was the same way." Max recalled.
Both Lyn and Bonnie agreed with Max's statement. Ash's Pikachu was indeed a hothead back when Ash first recieved him. Ash would always tell Max and Bonnie about it, and they told Lyn, so it's a win win for all!
"I am sure that Lyn and Litten will eventually get along, just like Ash and his Pikachu," Max reassured Lyn. "If not, then I don't know what to tell you."
Lyn hoped that Litten would eventually like her, but she knew she would always have her friends, Max and Bonnie, by her side no matter what. Suddenly, her thoughts get completely interrupted by a young red haired girl, Vivi, who was wearing a really cute outfit. Her outfit, a dress and Mary Jane shoes, looked as if she was going to a beauty pageant and would be declared as the winner.
As Vivi was walking toward the trio, Lyn could tell that Max was blushing in an amused way, which actually made her a little jealous due to Lyn having a little crush on him. She knew that he knew Vivi for a pretty long time after failing in attempt to battle her with Ash's Corphish. Pfft, he really wouldn't want to be her boyfriend after what she did afterward, right? Lyn kept her giggles to herself, but you could tell that Bonnie knew that Lyn was giggling about it.
Vivi winked at Max, seeing him blush at her style of dressing. Well, this seemed familiar to both Lyn and Bonnie, didn't it? Well, of course, since Bonnie and Lyn both knew that Bonnie had a brother, Clemont, who had a girlfriend, Serena, who did the exact same thing to Ash, who was the boyfriend of Max's sister, May.
"Hii, Max!" Vivi chirped, flowing her once straight, now curly red hair. "How are you?"
Max was amazed of how she changed from the little southern girl she was back then to a nothern style chick. Since Bonnie and Lyn have never met Vivi before, this was their first time meeting her.
"Um... Hey," Max replied in a very nervous way. "I'm fine, I guess. I just got my first Pokemon, Rowlet."
As Rowlet's name was said, she knew her trainer needed her. She came out of her Pokeball all by herself, just like May's Delcatty had when it was a Skitty!
"Koo!"
"WHA?!" Max got a little frustrated seeing Rowlet escape. He knew he was going to have a bad time one way or another.
"Koo Koo!"
"Come back!"
Max chased the female owl around the hall. To this sight, Vivi rolled her eyes and walked away. Unlike Vivi, Bonnie and Lyn followed Max, chasing the owl in the hallway.
This was funny to watch for many, seeing the three new trainers follow Max's Rowlet who couldn't seem to keep herself in control. Seeing this, Lyn's purse with all her items and her Pokeball in it started to move. Suddenly, Litten pops out of the Pokeball and starts to chase the fly away Rowlet.
"Litten, Rowlet!" The three screamed, chasing the Pokemon.
They were sure to get in trouble, but they didn't want their Pokemon to get lost on the first day! When they finally caught up to Rowlet, Max got his Pokeball and put Rowlet back inside.
Now there was Litten. They had to get Litten before Lillie or Professor Kukui caught them running in the hallways of the laboratory. As Max, Bonnie and Lyn ran in the hallways to catch up with Lyn's Litten, they notice everyone else gathering their suitcases and placing them in the bus.
It was too late to turn back. They had to catch Lyn's Litten, or Lyn would pretty much be screwed.
"Litten!" They screamed, as they ran, breathing in and out in-between words.
The fire cat kept running, breaking a few things along the way. The bus was getting loaded, and it's going to leave the trio behind!
When they finally catch the Litten back, they realize that everything was quite. Too quiet. Too quiet, even for them.
"Where is everybody?" Bonnie asked.
"I don't know," Max replied. "But... I'm scared."
"Me too," Bonnie said, acting frightened. "We need to get on that bus somehow."
"Nope," Lyn added in. "We can't now. Looks like we're going to have to get to the destination on foot. Though I don't know where we're going exactly."
"Well, maybe we can call someone to help us get there," Max suggested. "Like May or Clemont or something."
"No, they don't know where we are," Bonnie replied. "If they did, then I would be telling girls that they were keepers to Clemont even though Clemont is with Serena."
Max and Lyn agreed with that statement. They knew that Bonnie would always try to find the perfect girl for her brother, but would always fail in result. Since they were left behind, they still didn't know what to do. Suddenly, Lyn gets an idea.
"Let's see if we can find a nearby Poke Center and see if they will help us," Lyn suggested to her friends. "We still would have to walk, but it is way better than trying to find the camp ourselves!"
Max and Bonnie both agree with that idea. As the trio begin to walk out of the Laboratory together, trying to find the nearest Poke Center they can find, they will soon discover many new things. This is a new journey our trainers will have, just as long as they can get to their destination in time.
Author's Note: This story was inspired by the new Pokemon Sun and Moon saga. I really wanted to make a story based off the anime, but at the same time, try to not include Ash or Pikachu in it. Now, since I've seen so many young pre trainers travel or meet with Ash, I decided it would be a good idea to make them have their own journey throughout the Alola Region. Incase nobody knows who Lyn and Lena are, they are from the Pokemon XY episode entitled, "A Jolting Switcheroo!", and Vivi/Vivian is the little girl from Pokemon Advanced's "Candid Camerupt". I thought that the fanfic would need some drama unlike the actual anime to make it seem more interesting.
Sorry for the really short chapter, I just wanted to make the beginning as an introduction to the main characters of the story. I personally loved writing Lyn's personal experiences and thoughts, as they were not fully explained in the one episode she was in. Max and Bonnie were very easy to write about, as they did indeed travel with Ash in the serie. Nonetheless, this was really fun to write so far, and I hope to be writing more in the future.
