Chapter 1: I do not own any of the Pokemon and various characters besides Shira and Nirie. Pokemon is not mine, this is a fan fiction based on the Pokemon Sun and Moon game, isn't this website for fan fictions?
Shira rapped her knuckles against her desk, her eyes flickering constantly to the Pokémon clock displaying the three Alolan starters and their evolutions, along with Solgaleo, Lunala, and Tapu Koko,the Tapu Guardian of the island. One minute...30 seconds… 10 seconds...5...0! The bell sang with a hardy Tapu Koko call and Shira wheeled out the door and skidding to a stop at her locker. Shira spun the dial back and forth, opening the locker with a click. Slinging her backpack over her shoulders, she slammed the locker door closed and sped walked out of the school campus. Shira hastily searched her pockets for the ride pager. She turned to see someone waving it around with a smug smile.
Shira grit her teeth. It was Nirie, a girl who always seemed to choose her as the victim of her bullying.
"Give that back!" Shira growled, steaming red hot with anger.
"No way! This is the best thing I've nabbed off you so far!" Nirie laughed with glee, "When you ran out of the classroom, your seat left this beauty behind! What's the rush anyway?"
"Tauros, if only you could knock her out with one blow! Hang in there." Shira growled under her voice, then replying in a loud voice, "Today's my 10th birthday! My last day of school."
Nirie turned as purple as her hideous skirt, then red, then recovered her shock, "I don't believe you."
"Well now you have to." Shira smiled slyly, before sprinting forward and snatching the ride pager out of Nirie's hands, leaving her and her idiotic group of stupid popular girls dumbstruck.
Shira left them in the dust, made by Tauros' hooves, still trying to understand what had happened. Shira stopped quickly behind the corner of the school building to strap on her riding gear before getting seriously hurt.
The tropic winds of the Alolan islands teased Shira's wispy golden blond hair as she sped by the Shopping District to the beach, where Professor Kukui's beat-up home stood.
Shira jumped off Tauros when he stopped at the edge of the beach. She gave him a pat before returning him back to his ride pager. She climbed up the steps to the door and knocked loudly, butterflies zooming out into her stomach.
The door opened and Shira stared at the man who answered. Shira assumed that she had caught the professor at a bad time because he was covered in bites and scratches, but looking clearly unconcerned.
"Sorry, Shira- is it? Just testing out Rockruff's moves." Professor Kukui grinned, "I guess you didn't understand, I'm supposed to bring you out at night from your house, but don't answer the door, I'll answer for myself."
"Uh, okay, thank you." Shira shuffled down the stairs awkwardly.
Shira heard the door close, and walked home, unstrapping and unzipping her rider gear on the way. It was quite close, and taking out Tauros would make more work for him.
10:00 p.m.
Shira sat patiently, typing on the computer and scratching down notes about Pokémon and their type weaknesses, abilities, and such. Shira even wrote about legendaries which would take a long while until she could meet them, and more importantly, the three starters. Shira had always had an excellent memory, along with being the fastest runner in her grade, and was mulling over which starter she should pick. Knock sounded from her door and she fell off her swivel chair, then gathered herself and quickly scanned her notes on the starters. She ran downstairs and saw Professor Kukui smiling.
"About time! Let's go." He grinned.
Her mother arrived behind her and gave her a hug, "Have fun! I'll be there soon!"
Shira followed the professor down a route she never took before. They arrived at a bustling town. Shira quickly smoothed the front of her shirt down, feeling underdressed, yet to her surprise, everyone was wearing very casual clothing.
"Well, here they are! The two new trainers!" A booming voice greeted.
Two? Unless… Oh, no. No, no, NO! Shira saw, standing next to the booming voice, was Nirie. Nirie turned to the entrance and her face contorted into absolute disbelief.
"What are you doing here?!" Nirie hissed.
"It's my tenth birthday! I told you!" Shira growled.
"Fine! But I'm going to beat you at everything! Everything, here me?!" Nirie stomped off.
Shira turned to the booming voice and looked at him skeptically. A memory popped into her mind. It was Hala, the Big Kahuna of their island.
Shira started forward to him, to ask for tips, only to catch a white dress flying past into a grove of trees and Nirie's ugly glimmering purple skirt follow out of the corner of her eye.
Shira tightened the laces of her sneakers and sucked the air. This could only mean trouble and that meant it was time to run.
Notes-

It's actually been quite a while since I've played Pokémon Sun or Moon, so if you could correct me, if I'm wrong, I'll greatly appreciate it!
