Alola, a sun shining island region where creatures known as Pokemon roam. It was also here that our heroine, Twilight Sparkle, is taking a test to become a Keyblade Master.

The two climbed a small hill to a small town called Iki Village.

"So I'm curious. What is it you do?" Twilight asked.

"I study pokemon moves. There are a lot after all." Kukui said.

"And I know its weird… having a Keyblade Wielder in this region of Pokemon." Twilight said.

"A what?" Kukui asked.

"Uh never mind." Twilight said before they arrived.

"Hmm. Hey Twilight. Do me a solid and try to find the Kahuna." Kukui said.

"All right. But this village looks important." Twilight said.

"See that path? Beyond it is the Ruins of Conflict where Melemele Island's guardian deity, Tapo Koko resides." Kukui said.

"Wow." Twilight said going deep inside the route. As she did, she soon saw a girl dressed in white and holding a bag shake in fear as a strange pokemon on the bridge was being bullied by several Spearows.

"Hey!" Twilight said.

The Spearows then turned attention to her as they pecked at her. Twilight slowly made her way to the small pokemon as she shielded it. Just then, it unleased some burst of energy as the bridge collapsed as the two fell, before being saved by a strange being. Finding themselves back on the other side, they saw a strange creature with a bird motif with electricity around it.

"Tapu Koko…" Twilight said in amazement before seeing a strange stone near her feet as Tapu Koko flew off.

"Uh, thank you for saving Nebby here." she said.

"This pokemon…" Twilight said suddenly flipping through her book. "Aha! This is a Cosmog, ist it?"

"Eep! You know already?! Nebby is suppose to be a secret so you can't tell anyone." she said.

"I promise. I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said.

"I'm Lillie. I'm Professor Kukui's assistant." she said.

"So, little… why are you keeping this Cosmog… I mean Nebbie, a secret? Arent Cosmog's supposed to be rumored to come from outer space?" Twilight asked.

"How do you even have that info? This pokemon is the only one of its kind and only I have seen him." Lillie said.

"Uh...no idea." Twilight said realizing Cosmog wasn't even in her book.

"We should turn back." Lillie said as they turned back to the village where Kukui waited with an old man with white hair and a hawaiian shirt as he walked into town.

"Its him. The strongest trainer on the island." one person said.

"Its Hala himself!" another said.

'So that's Hala." Twilight said.

"Forgive my tardiness. I could have sworn I saw Tapu Koko fly away a bit ago." Hala said.

"It did. After it saved me and gave me this." Twilight said showing the stone.

"I see." Hala said taking the stone. "I promise to return this later in the evening. For now, I believe it is time."

"Wait!" a voice shouted as a tan skinned boy arrived. "Sorry gramps."

"Its fine. Twilight. This is my grandson Hau. He's also receiving his first pokemon today." Hala said.

"Alola." Hau said.

"Alola." Twilight said.

"Now then, let's right to the fun part!" Hala said tossing out three pokeballs. Out of them came a small owl, a black cat and a blue seal. "Your three choices. Rowlet, a grass pokemon. Litten, a fire pokemon and Popplio, a water pokemon. Now, Twilight. Which will you pick as a partner?"

Twilight looked at them all.

"Hmm… Cece has already chosen Poppilo, If i do that…" Twilight said.

Flash to Twilight poppilo and Cece's Poppilo and the two of them.

"Ohmygosh! You chose a poppilo same as me! That settles it! You have to be in the circus with me. We could be the popplio sisters. I would even have seal suits made for the two of us." Cece said.

Flashback…

Twilight shivered at the thought. "Nope, definitely not."

"Bwark?" Poppilo asked in confusion.

"That only leaves you with Litten…" Kukui said.

"Mrower…"

"Or Rowlet." Kukui said.

"Koo..." Rowlet said.

"Indigo has litten, last i checked. And for some reason…" Twilight said. "Yeah. I pick Rowlet."

"Ah, but before that, we must test for compatibility. See if the pokemon accepts you." Hala said.

Standing on a wooden stage, both Twilight and Rowlet were wide apart. As they stood there, Rowlet soon flew up to Twilight and smiled as she lifted it up gently.

"Koo! Koo!" Rowlet said.

"Hah hah! It seems Rowlet has Accepted you as well!" Hala said.

"Then it settles it. From this moment on...we're friends." Twilight said.

"Koo Koo." Rowlet chirped.

"Then I'll pick Popplio." Hau said. "Say, Twilight. Since we just got our pokemon, let's have a battle."

"What? Right now?" Twilight said.

"Ah hah, my grandsons always like this. Go on, dont be shy, Twilight. This is a chance to bond with your new little friend." Hala said.

"Then I accept you challenge." Twilight said.

The two stood on opposite ends as their pokemon came out.

"Okay, Popplio, attack with Growl!" Hau said as Popplio growled at Rowlet. "Then a super water gun!" Popplio hit Rowlet with a stream of water.

"Hah! Not even a scratch!" Kukui said seeing rowlet shake the water off in happiness.

"What? But I nailed him!" Hau said.

"Grass types arent exactly something you should hit with water type moves. You do know that, right?" Twilight asked.

"Gah! Oh man, I didn't! But ah well!" Hau said carefree.

"Wow, not even caring. In that case… Rowlet, use tackle!" Twilight said as Rowlet flew at Popplio.

"Counter with Pound!" Hau said as Popplio knocked Rowlet back with a pound attack.

Twilight pushed her glasses up. "Okay. Now if I know Hau will do next, his next move will be…" Twilight began before Rowlet looked at her with worry.

"Rowlet looks a little scared. If you don't make a move, the pokemon starts doubting the trainer." Kukui said.

"Twilight… let me ask you, do you think too much in a fight?" Hala asked.

"Huh?" Twilight asked.

"Your friends must say this as well, they must see you always improving yourself and your skills, leaving no time to cooperate with them. Who told you this first?" Hala asked.

"Hope did, when I was against playing Buddyfight with Tetsuya. Okay, Rowlet, attack how you feel." Twilight said.

Rowlet nodded as it fired grass like quills from its wings at Popplio.

"Huh?" Hau said.

"That was Leafage, a grass type move." Kukui said.

"Awesome Rowlet!" Twilight said as all three hit.

Popplio fell to that move after.

"Aw well. I guess you can't win them all." Hau said smiling. "Good battle either way."

Rowlet then flew over to Twilight as it landed on her head like a perch.

"I get it now, Hope wanted me to have no worries about myself and just feel and do stuff that was fun. If i kept thinking to attack, itd just be on me if i lost." Twilight said.

"Sounds like ya got it, yeah?" Kukui asked. "Out here in the Alola region, we all look out for one another. And wild pokemon do the same. We all care for one another just as you care for Rowlet as it cares for you."

"So me and the team are the same." Twilight said.

"If'n ya dont mind Twilight, theres a festival tomorrow. I want you and Hau to battle again for it. After which, I will decide whether you may take the island challenge." Hala said.

"Of course." Twilight Said.

"I get the feeling youd love it here, Twilight. Theres so much this Regions gotta offer. Who knows, maybe your friends will come to say hello on this little exam of yours, woo!" Kukui said.

"I hope they do." Twilight said.

"Now, you can stay with me for the night. I still have some things to give you." Kukui said before giving Twilight 10 pokeballs and a strange looking machine. "Pokeballs for catching pokemon and a Pokedex. After all, you're gonna need more than just Rowlet by your side."

"Thanks. But… this pokedex looks different from the others ive heard of.." Twilight said.'

"You'll know tomorrow. And that is when your journey really begins! Woo!" Kukui said.
