Alolan Adventures and the Lonely Warrior
This is how far I've got pairings wise:
Ash X Lillie?
Krystal X Hau?
Luna X ?
I was going to post this on my original account, but I was worried what my family would think of it. I hide under this false name, and they know nothing,
So, as you can see, I haven't decided any pairings yet.
Also, it is going to have Ash in it, and I've changed the story slightly. He's only done Kalos, Orange Islands and Kanto before coming to Alola. So, those Pokémon are the only ones he has. But, there will be a squeal and pairings won't come until then.
Speaking of which! Which would you prefer? The four splitting off and having a story on each of their adventures then having another one where they meet back up? Or just two or three stories covering their travels and them staying together?
Chapter 1: The Beginning of an Adventure
Officer Jenny sighed as she put the last of the files from case 'Children Scandal' away. These files contained information on each of the children involved in this terrible scandal, and they now would be locked away to be destroyed.
Seven children was the number. Seven children had been -mostly likely- scarred for life by Team Rocket. The Seven children were aged between eight and ten, and they had been recruited to help Team Rocket in their plans. Unknown to any of them they were just being used; they all thought Team Rocket were good and honest people.
However, the one saving grace was most the children were only emotionally scarred from it. But, there was one who had been badly physically injured: Luna, an orphan. Luna was a nine-year-old orphan when it started and happened; when the case was finally closed, they had rounded up the Team Rocket Admin in charge of the scandal and closed down the bases they knew of, she had just turned ten.
Luna had found out that they were being used big time, which meant she informed the Police of where the Team Rocket base was and then she tried to free all the Pokémon to try and right her wrongs. However, before she could escape and before the Police got there, one of the Team Rocket Admins, Proton, caught her in the act.
They went on to torture her after that; but it wasn't too long before the Police arrived and she was saved. Jenny shuddered at the thought of what else they could have done to her. The permanent injuries she had were bad enough: but what would have happened if they hadn't got there? Would she have gotten worse ones? Or would she have been killed?
Luna had been a right old mess when they got to her. They discovered when she arrived at the Hospital that whatever Team Rocket used on her. With the amount of damage done, she was lucky she hadn't been killed.
Luna still wasn't great when she was released from hospital, as she was still a little sick from all the surgery, and then there was her mental health. Luna became even more upset and depressed after Officer Jenny had to take the Bulbasaur away from her, as that Pokémon had been stolen from Professor Oak so it needed to be taken in. Luna had understood why it needed to happen, but that didn't mean she wasn't upset about it.
Because of this, the Orphanage where Luna lived decided to dump her on a sponsor of the orphanage: Rosie Tiki; quite a wealthy woman and a very generous one. Rosie spent a lot of time at the orphanage and had become an aunty of sorts for them. Hopefully, Rosie and her daughter, Krystal, would help Luna heal.
Present day…
A young blonde-haired girl awoke to the sound of a Meowth's meow. This blonde-haired girl is Luna; the same Luna who had been used by Team Rocket.
Luna (after opening her eyes) was startled by Meowth's face being centimetres from hers, and she backed away and into the wall on the other side of her bed.
"Gahh! Ouch!" Luna cried as this happened. Then she thought, 'At least I didn't get my face scratched this time.'
Luna looked out to see it was light outside. Kanto being quite a few hours behind Alola, meant that Luna and the others (Rosie and Krystal) were suffering from jetlag. As Meowth trotted off out of her room to go back to Rosie or wake up Krystal, Luna decided to get dressed.
Luna put on an orange top with pink flowers on it, white shorts, then she slipped on some white sandals. She then sat down in front of her mirror in her room to do her hair. Luna noticed as she brushed her hair, she actually looked generally excited which was rare event.
Luna had quite a boyish face, and when her hair had been cut very short, everyone mistook her for a boy. It had gotten better as she got older, though. And anyway, when it was long or at the very least shoulder length, it was fine; which was the length Luna liked anyway. Luna was quite tall and gangly, too, which annoyed her, even though Rosie assured her she would grow into her body as she got older.
When Luna had put her hair into two plaits, she put on a yellow hat with a pink flower on it. She left her room and proceeded to the stairs. Luna arrived on the bottom floor, she saw Aunt Rosie coming out of her room and stretching as she walked.
Rosie greeted sounding very cheerful, "Gooood mooorrniinngg, LLLuuunnnaa!"
"Good morning, Aunt Rosie. It looks beautiful out there, doesn't it?" Luna said glancing out the window.
"Yes, it does. I wonder how long Krystal will sleep for?" asked Rosie amusedly.
"I don't know: can I go out for a walk before she gets up?" asked Luna. Luna needed alone time to clear her head.
"Sure! Don't be gone too long! Remember, the professor is going to give you two Pokémon! Then you will get to go on a journey!" said Rosie, sounding excited. She was more excited than Luna, which wouldn
"Yeah, yeah: sounds great," Luna said not sounding like she meant it.
"Luna, what happened in Kanto won't happen again! And you never know, you might get Bulbasaur back," said Rosie gently.
"Maybe," Luna said glumly. "Anyway, I am going to go for that walk now. How long do I have?"
"An hour and a bit," Rosie answered. Luna nodded, then she went out for her walk.
After walking on a dust trail for a while, Luna eventually reached where the road started. She sighed as she walked along the sidewalk; the water looked so pretty at this time of day! When she reached a seat, Luna sat down and stared out at the ocean.
Even though she didn't realise it, Luna must have started crying because a girl that smelt of herbs came up and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Oh, huh?" Luna asked, snapping out of her daze. She looked up to see a long green-haired girl looking at her with a pink and white Pokémon next to her.
"You were crying," the girl dead pinned.
"Sorry, just remembering a bad memory," sighed Luna.
"Oh! That's terrible; I'm so sorry! I'm Mallow, by the way," Mallow said, being polite.
"Thanks, but it's fine, really. Luna," Luna offered.
"Nice to meet you! Oh! And this is Steene," said Mallow jesting towards the Pokémon next to her.
"Steene? Is that an Alola native? I'm new here you see; only moved in last night," Luna said.
"Yes, it is! Well, I've got to go. I hope you are enjoying Alola! Alola!" then Mallow was off.
Luna shouted after her, "Bye, Mallow!"
'She seems nice," Luna thought brightly. Then she started making her way back.
However, when Luna reached the end of the road, she could hear a Pokémon crying in pain! Quickly, Luna followed the source of the sound. After pushing through some bushes, Luna saw a Ponyta, the fire horse Pokémon caught in some blackberry and wire. Quickly, Luna rushed forward to start untangling it.
After untangling it and getting several small cuts on her hands, Luna said, "There, all free!"
But the Pokémon didn't move. Upon closer examination, Luna saw the Ponyta was quite badly injured! She picked it up thinking fast; then ran back to her home, hoping Rosie will know what to do. When Luna got inside, she saw Rosie was unpacking some boxes in the kitchen.
Rosie looked up and when she saw Luna, she said, "There you are! Krystal just left with my nephew to go to Iki Town. You better hur—wait! Is that an injured Pokémon?"
"Yep! Please, what can I do to help it?" asked Luna, looking very distressed.
"On your travels, did you see a building with a red roof?" asked Rosie.
"Yes… I did!" Luna said, thinking fast.
"Right, take the Ponyta there and don't leave until I get there, okay?" said Rosie sternly, but Luna nodded quickly before rushing out the door.
When Luna reached the Pokémon Centre: she charged through the door saying, "Someone, help! This Pokémon is injured!"
A woman in pink came up and said, "Calm down, young girl – it's all right. I'm Nurse joy, and it's my job to look after injured Pokémon. Let me see this Ponyta."
Luna handed the Ponyta to Nurse Joy. When a flowery Pokémon which Luna believed was called Comfey, and a Chancy with a trolley came to the nurse, Nurse Joy placed the Ponyta down on the trolley, gave the Pokémon some instructions, then the two Pokémon took the Ponyta off.
"Now, what happened?" asked Nurse Joy.
"I have no idea: I heard a Pokémon crying, and when I reached the source of the sound I found the Ponyta," Luna said sounding upset.
"Right. I can guess what happened is that the Ponyta's herd moved on, and it got separated because it was too weak to follow at that point or; wherever or not that was because of injuries it had, or it was just a runt: I do not know. These Pokémon are rare here, but there were one or two herds around this island," said Nurse Joy.
"That's sad! What's going to happen to it?" asked Luna worriedly.
"Well, are you a Trainer?" asked Nurse Joy looking hopeful.
"No, but I'm supposed to be starting my journey today," Luna said sadly.
"Well, I'll deal with the paperwork, get you some Pokéballs, a Pokédex and an Island Challenge Amulet. You just wait out here," said Nurse Joy. Then she went into the staff only area.
"Really? Thanks!" Luna said excitedly. Then she went over to a seat to sit down, while Nurse Joy went to do whatever she was going to do.
Right then a young raven-haired boy with a Pikachu came in. He went up to Nurse Joy and asked her to look over his (two) Pokémon, then he went over to the telephone to make a call. Luna didn't really think anything of it, until ten minutes had passed and he was still on the phone. Luna assumed he was onto his family, which made her wonder he was homesick already. Just then he put the phone down and dialled another number. Finally, after he had been using the phone for an hour, he came over to were Luna was sitting and sat down nearby.
Luna said, -being bored- "Hi."
"Hi. Are your Pokémon getting checked up on too?" he asked after hesitating for a moment.
"Not exactly; I am about to start my journey. I found this wild Pokémon and Nurse Joy is checking it over; then it will be my starter!" said Luna, feeling more and more excited.
"Ah, okay. Do you mind if I tag along? I have been staying with the professor and going to trainer's school for the last month; but I want to travel, and none of my friends want to, and, travelling is better with others. I'm Ash, by the way," said the raven-haired boy, Ash.
"Nice to meet you, Ash. I'm Luna: and I'm sure that will be fine! Just, I will be travelling with my cousin slash sister, too," Luna said, flushing slightly.
"That would be fine with me. But, what do you mean by sister slash cousin?" asked Ash.
"That's complicated," Luna said, not wanting to go into it.
Ash said laughing slightly, "Okay." He didn't press for any more information.
They talked until Nurse Joy came out with their Pokémon. Nurse Joy gave Luna a Pokéball and said, "Just throw this at Ponyta and she'll be yours."
"Okay," said Luna nervously taking the ball. Then she turned to Ponyta and said, "What do you say? Come with me?"
"Naaahhh!" said Ponyta cheerfully. Then filled with a sudden burst of confidence, Luna throw the ball at Ponyta. Ponyta was so excited, she almost jumped into the ball. Once she was inside, the ball rocked once, then the red light went off.
"You caught it!" said Ash clapping.
Luna smiled as she picked the ball up, "Yeah, I have."
"Do you want to give it a name?" asked Nurse Joy.
"Yes! Ivy!" said Luna straight away.
"Okay, Ivy it is," laughed Nurse Joy. Then she said handing Luna a red device, "This, is a Pokédex; this will tell you all sorts of information on Pokémon."
Luna took it and turned it on, then she ran it over Ivy's ball. It said that Ivy was a Ponyta, a female and a fire type. Then it gave some information on Ponyta, and the Ponyta's weight and height.
"Take these balls too; there are six here which means you are carrying seven in total. But, you can only have up to six Pokémon at one time," said Nurse Joy handing Luna the balls.
"Thanks, Nurse Joy," said Luna taking them gratefully.
"No problem; now just wait here a little longer, and the Kahuna will arrive and give you your amulet," said Nurse Joy.
Luna thanked her once again, then she and Ash walked away from the desk. Luna said, "This is so exciting!" She couldn't believe she had such a change of emotion from earlier when she was dreading it. It was one of those things that ended up better than you were expecting.
"I know, it is when you start your journey," said Ash nodding. Luna noted Ash wasn't one for being emotional.
Then some people entered. Upon a closer examination, Luna saw that they were Rosie, Krystal along with some other people. Ash questioned, "Mum?" One must have been his mother.
Rosie, Krystal and the others came up to Ash and Luna. Rosie said, "I see you've met Ash already, Luna."
"Yep, that's right," said Luna. Then she said, "Nurse Joy gave me some balls, a Pokédex and the Ponyta as my first Pokémon: which I have named Ivy."
"Well, good for you! This is Professor Kukui," said Rosie gesturing to a man wearing a lab coat with nothing underneath: Luna found this rather disturbing, as did Krystal from some of the looks she was giving him.
"Nice to meet you, Luna," said Professor Kukui.
"And you, Professor," said Luna respectfully.
"This is the Kahuna, Hala," said Rosie, being the introducer.
"Nice to meet you, Mr Kahuna," said Luna bowing her head slightly.
"Please, Hala would be fine," said the Kahuna, Hala.
"This is Hau: Hala's grandson. He's going to be travelling with you and Krystal, and Ash: I assume too," Rosie said.
"That's right!" said Luna. Then she said, "Hi, Hau."
"Hi again, Hau," greeted Ash.
"And finally, this is Ash's mother, Delia," Rosie finished.
"Hi, Luna," said Delia smiling.
"Hi," greeted Luna shyly.
Then Hala said holding out a pretty amulet, "Take this, Luna; you will need it to do the Island challenge."
"Thanks, Hala," said Luna, taking it.
Rosie asked, "Before we go anywhere, can I borrow Luna?"
"Sure," said Professor Kukui.
Luna and Rosie went off away from the others. Professor Kukui said to Ash, Hau and Krystal, "You three, Luna, and I will go up to the Trainer's School to say goodbyes and that. Then, we will go and stay at a Pokémon Centre, and head up to the first trial to arrive at around lunch time tomorrow. But, we might leave sooner depending on the time it is after we finish today."
"Can't we just go straight to the trial? I have been to Hau'oli City heaps of times!" complained Ash.
"Same. But I could always buy more Malasada's," said Hau thoughtfully.
"True, but Krystal and Luna are very new to the region and haven't been there before," responded Professor Kukui.
Then Rosie and Luna came back: Rosie handed Krystal and Luna some pocket money, then she said, "Alright, your all good to go."
"Alright then, we better get moving. See you; Delia, Hala and Rosie," said Professor Kukui.
Luna and Krystal said, "Bye!"
"Have fun!" said Rosie smiling broadly.
"Bye!" said Hau and Ash.
"See you!" said Delia and Hala.
Then, Ash, Krystal, Hau, Luna and Professor Kukui left the Pokémon Centre. As they reached the Trainer's School; Luna said, "I'll meet you guys between here and The Hall of Records: I have things… to attend to up there."
"Okay, see you soon?" said Professor Kukui, then he Ash, Krystal and Hau went into the Trainer's School while Luna went onwards to the Hall of Records.
The Professor led them into the trainer's school, and they found the headmistress of the school first; she called all the students into the main classroom. There, Professor Kukui told everyone that Ash was leaving school. All of Ash's classmates came and said goodbye. And a few like Lillie; had a very big goodbye to give out.
This took a long time, as Luna who had thought she'd taken a long time, had returned to the meeting place before they had. Luna whispered, "I hope nothing bad has happened."
She kept looking around concernedly hoping to spot them. Then, Hala and a pink haired boy (Luna found it hard to work out his gender) came up. Hala asked, "Luna, what are you doing here?"
"I was supposed to meet everyone else here: you see, I had somethings to attend to. Anyway, I took a long time; but because I've got back first, so now I'm worried," said Luna sounding worried.
"Where did they go?" asked the pink-haired boy.
"Trainer's school: one of the people I'm travelling with was going to say goodbye, or something," answered Luna.
"Don't sweat it, Luna; goodbyes always take ages at this Trainer's school: they like to give you the proper send off," Hala said chuckling slightly.
"Oh, okay. What are you two up to?" asked Luna.
"A Turos is blocking the road, and Llima is helping me move it. Say, you two haven't met yet, have you? Luna, this is Captain Llima; he is the Captain of your first trial. Llima, this is Luna, a trainer who has just started her journey," said Hala (finally) giving out the introductions.
"Nice to meet you, Llima," Luna said shyly.
"Captain Llima here; nice to meet you, Luna. I look forward to seeing you at your trial," said Llima.
"Thank you," Luna nodded.
Then, Hala spoke again, "Anyway, we better be off. The others shouldn't be too much longer, Luna."
"Thank you, Hala. And, nice to meet you, Llima," said Luna bowing slightly. Then Hala and Llima went off after Llima had said goodbye.
Luna watched them go until they were out of sight, but then, someone said from behind her, "Hey, there, Luna! Have you been waiting long?"
Luna turned around to see Professor Kukui, Ash, Hau and Krystal coming up. Luna replied, "Hi. No, I haven't been waiting long; though I was worried when I got here first."
"Sorry about that; the goodbyes here are very long," said Professor Kukui.
"That's fine; Hala put my worries at ease," Luna nodded. Then she asked, "Shall we go on?"
"Yeah, let's," said Professor Kukui.
As they walked, Hau asked, "So, you saw my grandpa?"
"Yep! He and one of the Trial Captains went to go and deal with a Turos, I think," answered Luna as they walked past the Hall of Records.
It was pretty late in the day, so they didn't have much time left; but if someone wanted to go and look at something on the way to the Pokémon Centre, they would stop and do that. They stopped at the Tourist Bureau, Clothes Shop and beach: everyone bought something from the Clothes Shop and Bureau.
After that, they arrived at the Pokémon Centre where they booked some rooms and got some keys for the rooms. They had dinner then went to bed; after having a bit of a chat.
I choose here because it seemed the best place to end it. Krystal is based off female character from sun and moon, and Luna is based of the female character from Ultra Sun and Moon.
