Hello reader. For those who are unfamiliar with my works, I am JapanDreamer09, but you can call me JD. I have been writing as a hobby for quite a few years now, and it is something I enjoy very much. I am mostly a third person writer, and before anybody asks, my updates are random. Sometimes, I update a lot; sometimes I'm dormant for a while. However, unless I mention it in my Author Notes or in the description of the story, I will continue to update. All I ask is a little patience.

Now for those who know me and my works, yes, I am doing another new story, and this time, it is based on Pokémon Sun and Moon – the newest game out currently as I write this. However, don't worry; my other stories will be updated at the same pace. This story is merely a test trial. I will explain more what this means in the Author's Notes so please take a look at it afterwards.

Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 1:

Gloria Moon could be seen tonight walking down the sidewalk and carrying empty cardboard boxes in her arms. It was a good thing that the supermarket had a lot of these lying around, she thought as she continued back home. The sun was already setting, and the sky was turning into an inky purple. Street lights helped light up the walkway until she reached her house. A pair of eyes followed her movements before it jumped off the front porch and greeted her.

"Hi Meowth, going exploring again?" The cat Pokémon purred and rubbed against her ankles before setting off into the bushes. Continuing up the front steps, Gloria fished out her keys from her pocket to unlock the door.

"I'm home!" However, she was greeted with silence. Taking off her took off her shoes, she saw light coming from the kitchen and sighed.

Here they go again. She walked in and saw her eleven-year old son reading a comic book at the small wooden table located in the middle of the room. He didn't look up and give her his usual greeting; his black headphones were glued to his ears and his eyes focused on the colorful pages. Open boxes laid everywhere, half-full of contents that needed to be wrapped and carefully placed.

"Liam." She went up and sat down next to him. "I'm back." She gently touched his shoulders, but her son flinched away. His blue-grey eyes glared at her brown eyes, but she refused to back down. Her son had refused to talk to her for three weeks, and she was not going to let it continue for four. After staring for what seemed to be an eternity, Liam slowly pulled off his headphones. "Welcome back mom," he finally replied and turned back to his readings, clearly stating that he was in no mood to talk.

"Liam, how was school," she asked tentatively.

"Jason and them threw me a farewell party," Liam said flatly. "We all hung out at the arcade afterwards. They gave me this." He showed her his wrist which had a yellow Pikachu watch. "It is a limited edition watch from the Proteam Omega show."

"I see. How nice…" Liam responded by flipping another page in his comic book.

"What do you want for dinner?" Gloria asked, finally breaking the silence again. "We can order whatever you want."

"I already ate."

"Okay… then I have some pamphlets here you can look at." She took out colorful brochures with tropical theme pictures. "There are a lot of fun things you can do. Is there anything that interests you?"

"No thanks mom."

"Okay," Gloria repeated, trying hard to be patient, "Have you finish packing?"

"Not yet."

"Liam, we're moving in two days."

"I'll do it later."

"Liam," she sighed, "it'll be fun. Alola is a beautiful place with a lot of wonderful people!"

"We're moving to an island region that named itself after a greeting. Not really creative if you ask me," Liam scowled, refusing to look up from his comic book.

"You said you always wanted to go there and see the Alola Pokémon."

"Yeah, like on vacation. Or maybe on a field trip with friends. I didn't want us to drop everything and just move there."

"I know this whole process has been hard on you, and I understand your frustration…"

"Really? You understand?" Liam looked up and glared at his mom again, "I have friends here mom! And now I can't even go on my own Pokémon journey with them! They don't have gym leaders there. I'll be the only one without gym badges, and I can't participate in the Pokémon League. Didn't you think of that before you decided to announce this to my face?!"

"Liam!" However, her son got up from the table and stalked up to his room. She could hear the door slam and a loud click.

Gloria sighed and stared at the brochures laid abandoned on the table. Each picture showed people smiling as they spent their time playing in the waters or riding on a Pokémon like Tauros. There was even tour guide information about a new facility dedicated to preserve wildlife by protecting and sheltering wild Pokémon.

'Guaranteed fun for the whole family!'

If only that included unhappy children moving there…

Author's Notes

Hmph, looks like things aren't really going off at a good start in the Moon family.

So, like quite a few of my friends, I got hooked on the Sun and Moon game, and obviously, my writer side was begging me to turn the game into a story like I have done previously. Of course, I had two choices at this stage – either write a whole bunch and just let it sit in my computer for my own enjoyment or write a whole bunch and post what I've written onto fanfic. Obviously I chose the latter and here we are.

So, what is the important news about this story? Well, Sun and Moon's continuation will be based on viewership/reviews/votes. In other words, whether or not this will get updated often depends on how many people would like to see more. To know this, I need readers to tell me. I will even post up a poll on my profile page for those who wish to remain anonymous.

If I don't see much interest, then the story will be on the bottom of my 'top priority' stories to write. Regardless of consent, Sun and Moon story will update, but how often depends on the readers.

I am posting a total of two chapters, regardless of viewership, which includes this chapter. Afterwards, I will put Sun and Moon story on hold for a while unless I see some response form the readers on their opinions to continue forward.

Thank you all for reading and expect chapter 2 to come out very soon.
