It was late at night when the ship finally reached the terminal. The passengers all walked out into the terminal. Many of them were in groups: families, tourists, and even a few newlyweds on their honeymoon. One of them seemed to be a loner, however. At first glance, he appeared to be about 15 or 16 years old. He had medium-length, dark brown hair, and had lighter skin than most of the Alolan native people. He was also somewhat skinny and moderately tall. He didn't seem like a tourist, but he also didn't seem like he was from Alola either. He was wearing a dark green t-shirt, along with brown shorts, and black tennis shoes. He also was wearing a black backpack.

When the crowd finally dispersed, the teen exited the terminal. After exiting the terminal, a man in a lab coat started waving at him and was grinning a wide smile. He had long, black hair and a white sports cap on. He also wore what appeared to be safety glasses, and had some short facial hair on his chin. His skin also appeared very tan. He had no shirt underneath his lab coat, so his bare chest was exposed. He also wore gray sweat pants and green shoes.

"Hey there!" the man shouted to the teen. As the teen walked closer, the man continued speaking. "You must be the kid from Hoenn, Silvius, yeah? Your mother told me a lot about you." The man seemed to have a constant smile on his face. The teen nodded, a stoic expression on his face, "Most people call me Sil. You must be Professor Kukui." Sil responded. "It's getting late out, but I'll show you around tomorrow. I can show you to a hotel if you'd like. There's a few of them here in Hau'oli City." "Thank you," Sil replied, "but could you show me a place where I can get some food first?" Professor Kukui nodded, "Sure can!" he replied. "I bet you're hungry 'cause of the long ride here, yeah? Well, Alola is famous for its malasada restaurants. I'll take you to one right away." Sil simply replied, "Thanks," while a small, almost unnoticeable smile formed on his face.

While they were walking, Kukui attempted to start up a conversation. "So did you bring any of your Pokémon from Hoenn?" "No, I left them all at home with my mother. She's looking after my Pokémon while I'm here." Sil replied. "Aww… too bad." Kukui responded. "I was really looking forward to meeting some Hoenn Pokémon. Well, if you ever bring your Hoenn Pokémon to Alola, make sure you come see me so that I can meet them, yeah?" "Sure." Sil simply replied, looking down at the ground with uneasiness. The rest of the walk to the malasada shop was filled with awkward silence between the two of them.

Once they made it inside the malasada shop, Kukui said, "Hey, tonight's on me, ok?" "Thanks professor." Sil replied. When they had finally got their malasadas Kukui asked, "So, how do you like 'em? Pretty good, yeah?" "They're delicious!" Sil replied, with a small smile creeping on to his face yet again. "So Sil, are you gonna be participating island challenge?"

At this, Sil stopped eating, set his malasada down, and returned to his stoic expression. "I've heard of it. And I was hoping I could try it out. However, would I be able to get a starter Pokémon here? I know that I already have Pokémon in Hoenn, and you normally only give out starter Pokémon to new trainers, but I…" he replied. Then Kukui, his smile as wide as ever, replied, "It's ok! Your mother told me about what happened back in Hoenn. I'm sure we can make an exception." Kukui said, chuckling. Sil's faint smile returned, as he quietly replied "Thank you…"

"Don't mention it, man!" Kukui stated loudly, still chuckling. "From what I've heard, you were quite the trainer back in Hoenn. So I'd be glad to help you with anything that'll get you back on your feet again as a top trainer!" After saying this, Kukui let out a hearty laugh, flashing a confident grin at Sil, while giving him a thumbs-up. Sil couldn't help but hope that this journey would be different…

Kukui and Sil soon finished up their malasadas, and Kukui began to show the way to the cheapest nearby hotel. Kukui, all fired up from the malasadas, began a long rant about the next day. "Tomorrow we gotta get your trainer passport, and then I'll show you to a place called Iki town! You'll meet the island kahuna, and you can get a starter Pokémon there! In fact, if I remember right, the kahuna's grandson is probably starting his island challenge soon. So you might run into him there! Oh yeah! Speaking of people… there's someone I'd like you to meet tomorrow. Her name is Lillie! She's currently working as my assistant, and you two are around the same age, I think. I bet you two would get along great! So do you know which starter Pokémon your gonna pick? All of 'em are great Pokémon!"

At this point Sil noticed that they almost passed the hotel. "Um… that's the hotel, right?" Sil asked. "Oh! Of course! Forgive me!" Kukui responded, laughing. "I probably talked your ear off a bit back there, yeah? Well, here's the hotel! I'll come get you tomorrow morning. Don't wake up late!" And with that, Kukui was off.

Sil promptly went into the hotel and rented a room for a single night, and it was a lot cheaper than he expected it to be, seeing as Alola was a tourist hot-spot. Once he got to his room he promptly took off his backback. But before he got into a change of clothes, he noticed the beautiful view outside his window. The window gave a perfect view of the ocean and the night sky. Sil couldn't help but notice how pretty the stars were, and how magnificent the moon looked as its reflection shone in the water. He couldn't help but feel nostalgia for some reason… It was probably just because Hoenn has a lot of water too.

After a few more moments of gazing into the sky, he put on a change of clothes at quickly got into bed. The next morning would come early…

Next morning…

'KNOCK! KNOCK!'

Maybe the next morning came a little too early… Sil got out of bed, in an almost mechanical fashion. The first thing he did when he woke up was check his watch… "5:00?! WTF?!" he screamed. He immediately stomped towards the door, not caring that he was in his pajamas. He slammed open the door, certain it could only be one person: Kukui. When he opened the door, he found that his guess was right. Standing in the doorway was Kukui, smiling like an idiot.

Sil's expression, on the other hand, was much more grim. His eyes were half shut, and he had a very large frown adorning his face. "Kukui… it's #$%ing 5:00 in the morning! What the #$%?!" Sil screamed.

"Really?" Kukui asked, puzzled. "It's 8:00 already." Kukui thought for a moment, and then he finally realized what was wrong. "Oh! I forgot! Time zones! It's a 3-hour difference in time in from Alola to Hoenn. I forgot to tell you to reset your watch. Sorry about that." Kukui said, chuckling.

Even after hearing the explanation, Sil's facial expression didn't change. He stood there for a good 5 seconds before realizing everything that Kukui said. "I'm going to go take a shower and get dressed." Sil said blankly. And with that, Sil shut the door. Kukui chuckled again, and then went outside of the hotel to wait.

About 15 minutes later, Sil walked out of the hotel, and seemed to be fully awake. "Hey professor." he said. "You seem to be awake now, yeah? Come on, let's go get your trainer passport!" Kukui said. Sil simply nodded, and with that, the two started walking towards the city hall. They talked about various things during the walk, but it wasn't a very long walk. When they finally reached the city hall, they walked inside, and luckily there was a short line for the desks. After filling out a few forms, and having his picture taken, he had his trainer passport.

As they exited the city hall, Kukui, with his signature smile, began to speak, "Alright, next stop is Iki Town! You can meet the island kahuna, Hala, and get a starter Pokémon from him!" "Sounds great." Sil responded. Kukui's happiness was starting to rub off on him again, his faint smile returning, even if only for a moment.

As they began to walk to the outskirts of the city, Kukui tried to strike up another casual conversation with Sil. "So, do you know which of the three starters you're gonna choose?" Kukui asked. "Rowlet." Sil responded. It didn't take long for him to answer. "I read about the three starters before I came here. But even if I didn't, it would be an easy choice for me. I guess I'm really comfortable around grass-type Pokémon. I grew up in a forest, so when I was younger, I would go out and play with the wild Pokémon. And because it was a forest, most of the Pokémon were grass-type Pokémon." "You must be very comfortable around Pokémon, yeah?" Kukui said. "I suppose you could say that." Sil responded.

"Then I have a favor I need to ask of you!" Kukui exclaimed dramatically. "Uhh… ok..?" Sil replied, almost cautiously. "You remember me mentioning that Lillie girl?" Kukui asked. "Ya. Isn't she your assistant?" Sil replied back. "Ya." Kukui continued on, "Lillie's a real smart girl, but truth is, she seems to be afraid of Pokémon for some reason. She won't ever touch them or even get close to them. Anyway, I was planning on introducing you to her anyway, so if you can help her with her fear… I mean, I can't seem to help her at all, so could you help her out a little?" Kukui asked. It almost sounded as if he were begging Sil.

Sil thought about it for a moment, and then responded. "I'll keep it in mind, and I'll do what I can to help her." he said. "That's great! Thanks so much, man!" Kukui responded, flashing a smile at Sil. "Don't mention it." Sil said back, still in his stoic expression. The rest of their walk consisted of idle chatter, coming mainly from the sociable professor. After a while, they finally reached the outskirts of the city, and the two stopped for a moment.

"Alright, this is route 1." Kukui said, "If you take a right here, it'll eventually lead to a beach area. My lab is on the beach. We're gonna take a left today, though. This path on the left will lead Straight to Iki Town." "Lead the way professor." Sil said back. Route 1 was a nice refreshing break from the city. The path was a lot more rustic, a dirt path with some grass near the sides of it. On the sides of the path, there were a few large bushes with white and red flowers, and also a few palm trees. The chirps of the bird Pokémon could be heard from all angles, along with an occasional rustling of tall grass, indicating there were Pokémon running through there.

Somewhere along the road, a young boy noticed Kukui and came running up towards him. "Professor Kukui! You gotta recommend another move for my Pokémon some time! Pleeeeease!" the young boy exclaimed with joy. Kukui knelt down to the young boy, his infectious smile on his face. "How about… once your Pokémon gets strong enough to learn a new move, we'll have another Pokémon battle, yeah?" Kukui said, patting the little boy's head. "Alright!" the young boy said has he ran off to go train some more with his Pokémon. "Keep training hard!" Kukui yelled as he waved goodbye to the little boy.

The professor sure seemed to be popular with the children. It was probably because of his "cool" factor; you could tell just by being around him for 5 seconds, Kukui was just a happy-go-lucky person, and his happiness quickly spread to the other people around him.

Kukui and Sil continued walking, and they eventually reached the entrance to Iki Town. They walked up the stairs to enter the town. The town was filled with the same green grass and palm trees as in route 1. The town also had a few small houses. As they walked into the heart of the town, Sil also noticed some weird circular statue things with funny faces on the side of the path. He also noticed a square stage set up in the middle of the town. 'Maybe they're used for Pokémon battles…" Sil thought, 'Or performances maybe?'

"Oh no." Kukui said as he abruptly stopped. Suddenly a wave a panic arose over Kukui's face. "She's not here. I told her to meet us here." he said. This was the first time Sil saw Kukui not in a complete state of calm and happiness. "Who are you looking for?" Sil asked calmly. "It's Lillie! She's not here! I told her to meet us here! I hope nothing bad happened to her. We should go looking for her right away! I'll go check my lab. You look around here." Kukui said as he began to walk back through route 1 at a brisk pace.

Sil sighed. 'He didn't even tell me what she looks like…' he thought. He quickly scanned the surrounding area for anything that might be a 'Lillie,' but the only people he saw in the town were an elderly couple and a few young children playing. Sil remembered being told that Lillie should be around the same age as him, so she wasn't around here. While he was looking around the town, he noticed a clearing in a forest. When he walked up to it, he noticed a sign saying, "Ruins of Conflict." 'She's probably not here,' he thought, 'but I should probably check anyway.'

The trail was somewhat of an uphill climb, and was somewhat windy, like a snake. It continued on, and Sil began to notice some more stone statues with funny faces, similar to the statues in Iki Town. 'I wonder what they are?' he thought. Eventually he reached the end of the path and came out of the forest and came into a cliff-like area.

The first thing he noticed here was a lone girl. She was facing away and looking onto the bridge nearby. She had very long, straight light blonde hair, and very light skin. She was dressed completely in white, with a large white hat, a white dress, and a pair of white boots. She also had a large white duffel bag, with a Pokéball symbol on it. Sil also noticed that, for some reason, she was visibly shaking. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Sil asked, concerned.

The girl, startled, immediately turned around and jumped back. Her face was ridden with fear, as a small tear began to form in one of her eyes. "H-help…" the girl fumbled out. "Save Nebby! Please!" she begged.

Sil, being a man, obviously wanted to help out the girl, and instantly entered "knight in shining armor mode." Because he was so captivated by the girl before, he didn't even notice what was occurring on the bridge. 3 Spearow had ganged up on a small blue Pokémon on the bridge and had cornered it. The small blue Pokémon was cowering in fear, and couldn't move. "Alright..!" Sil said, "We'll help out your friend!" he exclaimed.

Sil reached for his belt yelling, "I choose you, G-" But it was at this point he realized there was no Pokéball in his hand, or on his belt. "Damn! That's right! I left them all back home…" he cursed, gritting his teeth. 'Guess we're doing this the hard way…' he thought. He began to walk out onto the bridge, but it was at this point he realized the bridge was a little unsteady, and it was a long, LONG, way down into the river below him. He carefully walked across the bridge and made it to the mysterious blue Pokémon. Sil hunched over the Pokémon, shielding it from the Spearows' attacks with his back. One of the Spearow nosedived straight into Sil's back to attack him, and causing Sil to grunt in pain.

It was at this point that a strange energy began to surround the small blue Pokémon, destroying the bridge and scaring away the Spearow. Sil began to plummet into the river, clutching the small Pokémon, Nebby, tightly. 'Well #$%...' he thought as he was falling.

Then out of nowhere, a yellow streak flew by, catching Sil and Nebby, and brought them up to safety. Sil rubbed his head as he regained his bearings. He only caught a quick glimpse of the yellow Pokémon as it flew away in a yellow streak of light.

'I wonder what that was…' he thought as he got up, still clutching the mysterious blue Pokémon in his arms. "Here you go." Sil said as she handed Nebby over to the girl. "Oh… Oh thank goodness!" she said, relieved. "Nebby… I'm so glad your safe!" she said as she gave it a quick hug. "But you used your power again. You know what happened after that. You couldn't move for ages! But you did save me, after all, even though I haven't done much for you in return… Still, I don't wanna see you like that again." "Pew!" Nebby exclaimed happily as he jumped out of the girl's arms, levitating over to a certain spot on the ground. Nebby picked up a small object, and gave it to the girl. "What's this? A sparkling stone? It feels warm somehow…"

The girl then noticed how she completely forgot about the person who saved Nebby, even though he was standing right next to her this whole time! "Please, forgive me." she said, while giving a small courteous bow. "I am so grateful to you for helping us out in that dangerous spot. So thank you so much!" she said with gratitude. "This must belong to you." she said, handing over the sparkling stone.

"Uh… thanks?" Sil said quizzically, having no idea what the object was. He quickly stuffed the stone into his pocket. "So… uh… you wouldn't happen to be Lillie, would you?" he asked. She seemed shocked, and suddenly became noticeably nervous. "Umm… that is me. But how do you know my name?" she asked. "Professor Kukui is looking for you, he seemed kinda worried because we couldn't find you in Iki Town." "Oh… that makes sense." Lillie responded, "Nebby and I were waiting in Iki Town, when all of the sudden Nebby wanted to visit the Ruins of Conflict. I didn't think it would matter if we weren't gone long. I apologize again. I caused you all this trouble."

"Uh… don't mention it." Sil replied, nervously scratching the back of his neck. "What's your name?" Lillie asked. "You can just call me Sil." he replied. There was an awkward silence between the two of them, as they both stared at each other, lost in thought, until Sil spoke up again. "We should probably head back to Iki Town and meet up with the professor." he said. "Uh… Ya! Sure!" Lillie said. "You hear that, Nebby? That means you have to get back in the bag." Nebby gave a sad look to Lillie, before finally accepting his fate, entering the bag. "That reminds me." Lillie exclaimed. "Please… don't tell anyone about this. About seeing Nebby… It's a secret. Ok?" Lillie had a somewhat nervous and worried look on her face. Sil thought for a second, 'Why would she have to keep it secret?' before he realized that "Nebby" was probably a rare Pokémon, making it a prime target for Pokémon thieves. "Of course." he replied, "I'll keep it a secret."

The two walked together down the trail back to Iki Town, engaging in small conversation. Although he noticed it before, Sil couldn't help but notice how pretty Lillie was. From her perfect, blonde hair, to her beautiful green eyes, he felt is heart rate increase just by being near her. He didn't have that much experience with girls; sure he met a few girl gym leaders back in Hoenn, but other than that, he never really talked to girls. Of course, he never really talked to people, unless it was for a Pokémon battle, or if he was buying something, or if he was at a Pokémon center. The only real friends he had were his Pokémon, and of course, his family. Being around Professor Kukui and Lillie was nice; he liked talking with them. 'This adventure… it's definitely going to be different.'

So here it is! This story is going to be a dramatization of the Sun/Moon storyline, but not everything is going to be the same. There are going to be a few major differences, like more of a focus on romance between MC and Lillie :3 And also, I've seen a few people doing this, and I'm doing this too, because it makes sense: the main characters are going to be a little older, (around age 15 or 16) because romance between 11 year olds doesn't make much sense :P Anyways, thanks for reading! Please review this and tell me how I did, and if there is any stuff I should work on in the future. Btw, probably won't update for a while, because 1st semester finals are coming up next week.
