Chapter 1
It was a typical day in the Alola region, the sun was shining bright and the Wingull were chirping. The sounds of the waves crashed against the cliffs, the wind was blowing a beautiful breeze, and the tropical forest was echoing with the voices of Pokemon. Wait, what's this? A battle going on in the forest? Who could it possibly be?
Oh, it's just Ash and the other students from the Pokemon School in the process of defeating Team Rocket in battle. It really was just a typical day.
"Mimikyu! Use shadow ball!" shouted a villain with incredibly long, red locks.
"Mareanie, use poison jab!" cried another evil-doer with lavender hair. Mimikyu forced its attack straight toward Pikachu, and Mareanie battled against Lana's Poplio. Poplio proceeded to dodge the attack, but Pikachu couldn't get away from Mimikyu's swift speed fueled by vengeance.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled, "You can finish them, use thunderbolt!" Pikachu charged up his electric move to full power, released the static which hit Team Rocket directly, zapping them to crisps.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" They all shouted in unison, while soaring across the sky disappearing seconds later. Ash, Lana, Mallow, Kiawe, Lillie, and Sophocles all high fived and cheered at yet another victory against Team Rocket.
"Hey guys, it's about time we head back to the Pokemon School now. Professor Kukui is probably waiting for us," Ash said to his friends. They nodded their heads in agreement, and headed back to the classroom.
The students walked back up the stairs into the giant, elevated classroom in which they had their studies in. They all sat down in their desks and packed up their backpacks, excitedly waiting for Professor Kukui to wrap up the lesson for the day.
"Alright everyone, you all did wonderfully today! Now head home and get a good night's rest, we have a very special guest coming in to teach class tomorrow," said Professor Kukui. "How many of you are familiar with the new Pokemon Champion from the Hoenn region?" Every student in the room immediately raised their hands excitedly, and said, "Me!" The professor continued, "Well, you all are in luck. Rhia will be coming to give a lesson right here in this room!"
"No way! That's awesome!" cheered Ash happily. He recalled watching Pokemon Master Rhia's final battle to win the title of champion. Her Pokemon were in tip-top shape, and she defeated her final opponent within the blink of an eye. In Ash's opinion, she was one of the strongest trainers he's ever seen, as well as the most beautiful. The other students chattered about the Pokemon master for a bit, then proceeded to head home for the day.
On their short walk back to Professor Kukui's house, Ash asked Pikachu, "Hey buddy, what do you think about challenging Rhia to a battle tomorrow?" Pikachu confidently said (in Pokemon language, of course) that he for sure wanted to try and defeat her. "That's the spirit! We might have a chance at it, Pikachu!" The companions shared a joyful laugh and smile, and continued on their way with pride in their hearts. Little did they know, it was about to be the craziest part of their journey yet.
