A New Beginning

It was a month after the Indigo League and Red, Rita, and Reina became champions. Currently the group was on vacation and they were going to the Orange Islands for their vacation.

"Is the stuff for the kids packed?" asked Misty.

"We checked again and triple checked Misty," Red said, "The stuff for the kids is all packed."

"Pika."

"And we're taking one of Jimmy Neutron's inventions to get there," Maria said, "Of course it's only a prototype and this wormhole is only one way."

"Which is why once we get there we'll have to rely on using our skills to get back," Rita said.

"Wait!" cried Prof Oak running to them.

"What's going on Professor?" Reina asked.

"I need help." said Oak before filling them in.

"So you want us to pick up the GS Ball?" Drake asked.

A nod.

"Consider it done Professor," Marble said.

"Thank you so much!" said Oak.

"Hold on Professor," Helen said, "If we're getting a Poke Ball then why can't we just teleport it?"

"Because Jimmy tried to teleport it and while his teleporter was stronger than the ones the Pokémon Centers and myself use it teleported the ball all the way to Tangelo Island," Oak said.

"Looks like that's our first stop." said Red.

"Then we should go," Lucy said, "We'll call when we get there professor."

Then after saying that Lucy and the others walked through the warp gate that would take them to Tangelo Island.

When they got to Tangelo Island they found themselves on the outskirts of the island.

"Good thing Jimmy had the place drop us off on the edge of the island so we don't scare anybody," June said.

"Yep." said Red.

"First we need to find Natsu Thompson," Drake said, "He's our cousin and he's got the GS Ball. Jimmy's attempt teleported it to his place."

"Right." said Reina. "And then let's enjoy the beach."

So the gang then went to a humble modest sized ranch owned by Natsu Thompson and when they entered the front door Misty knocked on the door.

"Hello is anybody home?" Misty asked.

"Coming." said Natsu getting the door. "DRAKE YOU SILLY SCAMP HOW HAVE YA BEEN?" with that he got Drake in a headlock before giving him a noggie.

"I'm great cousin now can you please let me go," Drake said getting out of the headlock.

"GIRLS!" cried Natsu before getting the sisters in a big group hug.

"We're glad to see you too cousin," Rose said as she was being crushed in the group hug.

"Glad he doesn't know me yet." said Misty.

"So am I," Red said.

"Hear hear," June said as Helen and Marble nodded.

"CHOKING! NOT BREATHING!" gasped Rita.

"Oh right silly me," Natsu said letting go of his cousins.

"Hey aren't we forgetting somebody?" Reina said, "Cousin Lucy is also here."

"LUCY!" cried Natsu hugging her.

"Had to mention Lucy didn't you," Sara said to Reina.

"I couldn't help it," Reina replied.

"Choking not breathing!" gasped Lucy.

"Oops sorry again," Natsu said letting go, "So now that we're all caught up I suppose you're here for the GS Ball right?"

The gang nodded.

"I'll go get it," Natsu said as he went to get the GS Ball.

"After he gets it let's switch to our swims and take in the beach." said Misty.

"I love that idea," Rita said, "But what about Maria, Sasha, and Yukie?"

"Pika?"

"We could let them swim in a lake," Reina suggested as Natsu returned with the GS Ball.

"Here you go." he said.

"Now let's go hit the beach," June said.

"Last one in babysits for a week!" said Misty rushing off.

"Wait for me," Lucy said dashing after Misty.

"Oh no you don't!" said Reina darting off.

The others all followed after Misty and they made it to the beach with June being the last one to show up.

"Aw man!" she whined.

"Sorry June," Helen said, "Looks like you have to babysit the kids."

"I'll go get them." said June.

"So shall we break out the tanning lotion or what?" Marble asked.

"Yep." said Rose.

"I wonder what else we'll find here?" Sara asked.

"Hello there." a man said coming up. "Are you here to partake in the Orange League?"

"The what?" The group minus Lucy, Natsu and Drake asked.

"The Orange League." said the man.

"Actually we're here on vacation from winning in the Pokémon League," Red said.

"Oh? Which League?" the man asked.

"The Indigo League," Rita said, "In the Kanto Region."

"There's more than 1." said the man

"Okay well thanks for the information," Sara said as the man left.

"Pika?"

"If you're suggesting we compete in the Orange League then I'm afraid we may have to pass on that," Sara said to Electra. "We don't know much about it other than the fact that it is the Pokémon League of the Orange Islands."

"If I have to take each and every league to be a Pokémon Master, then so be it!" said Red.

"Good attitude Red," Rose said as Static cheered.

"Let's find out where to sign up." said Red.

"First we should explore the town a bit," June suggested, "I get the feeling that this league isn't like the Indigo League back in Kanto."

"She's right," Natsu said, "I've competed in the Orange League before and the rules are much different than the other leagues. You register after you collect the gym badges from each of the four leaders in the Orange Islands then once you make your way to Pummelo Island then you register for the championship match."

"Where's the first?" asked Red.

Before Natsu, Drake, or Lucy could answer the sound of a Pokémon's cry was heard.
