Prologue
Contemplations
Nick stood on the beach, the Alolan Breeze soothing his nerves. He was glad he moved here, there was too much hustle and bustle back in Kanto. He used to work for Silph Co. in Saffron City, filing away too many forms for any one man to do. When he saw the ad in the paper for a house in Alola, he jumped at the opportunity. He may have jumped a little too quickly, however, considering he nearly went bankrupt after buying the house.
He was only twenty, and had a bad habit of impulse buying. He was normally kept in line by Alice, his Gardevoir, but she had been asleep at the time of night when he made his decision. She did find out the next morning when she woke up, though, and she was furious. He tried not to think about his purchase when he was around her, but she eventually caught one of his thoughts about it.
In any instance, he now stood a short walk from his brand new home in Heahea City. He was relieved and grateful when she eventually agreed to move, knowing the stress of staying in Saffron was causing harm to both of them, physically, mentally, and emotionally. If they had stayed in his old house, they would've just withered away in misery.
He eventually returned to his new house and saw Alice playing with his Eevee, tossing the Evolution Pokémon into the air and catching it shortly after. All three of his Pokémon were enjoying their new life in Alola. Everyone was so much happier nowadays, including Danny, his Duskull, even though he only went out at night. And due to the low cost of living in Alola, Nick didn't even have to work all that often, giving him way more time to relax with everyone. Looking out the window and towards the sunset, Nick was confident that he was starting a whole new life, and it was going to be amazing. And now it was finally time to sit down and relax.
