Alola! Pokémon Vibrant Sun
Join Amanda Atone! and Her Trusty Stunky Chester as she traverses across the beautiful land of Alola! ALOLA! Meeting new friends, rivals and anything in between along the way.
Chapter 1: Moving out and moving in, from the cold Region of Sinnoh to the humid region of Alola!
Sinnoh Region - Twinleaf Town,
In a sunlight-lit bedroom, there was a girl on her PC, she was nearing her teenage years, maybe 14 or 13, her hair was dulled brown and her eyes were a basic brown color, her skin color was pale, most likely due to spending more time indoors than out, beside her was a sleeping Pokémon, it was a Stunky.
The Skunk Pokémon, Stunky is a very unpopular pick in the Sinnoh Region, despite being somewhat common akin to the numerous Bidoof, Cricketot, Budew, and Starly Stunkys are never caught or taken care of by humans.
Its not because of their size, being only about one foot tall and only weighing thirty-to-forty pounds, its not because of their appetite, it wasn't voracious nor was it very picky, some veggies and maybe some oran berries was the main diet of the Skunk Pokémon
Its not their behavior, they were easy to train and only disobey their trainers if they're being treated unfairly, its not their effectiveness at battle, they're semi-competent battlers with decent moves and an amazing defensive typing of dark and poison.
Despite not being a difficult Pokémon to raise, and a decent Pokémon to battle with, they're quite unpopular, so what gives?
It turns out, Stunkys and their evolved parents the Skuntanks are notorious for their smell, when they feel endangered or when they're in a bad mood, they expel a massive cloud of disgusting and foul-smelling liquid-gas from their posterior, people and Pokémon within a mile radius can smell the scent of rotten eggs and manure, and the smell can last a whole day, as a result of this bizarre and nausea-inducing self-defense mechanism, they are rarely captured by humans...
It also doesn't help that the Species faces looks like butts and almost all of them possessed a natural stinky odor.
To this day, the Stunky line remains forgotten and unused to this very day, despite appearing the Kalos region and the Sinnoh Region.
But Apparently, this brunette didn't get the memo of not owning a Stunky, her name is Amanda Atone, and tomorrow, she and her father will be moving to the Alola Region, a region basked in paradise of hot sun and fantastic island culture.
Amanda's Stunky was sleeping soundly in its little bed that was actually one of Amanda's sweaters, she wouldn't need it anyway since she knows she won't be wearing a sweater in Alola any time soon. The whole room smelled like Sour Cabbage, most likely due to the Stunky's natural musk.
...She didn't seem to mind at all, in fact, she seemed to like the smell of sauerkraut, despite it being strong and stingy she continued to work on her PC, her windows were opened up widely, the smell of the Stunky leaking out of the room and into Twinleaf town, immediately some passerby's scrunched their faces up, as they came in proximity of Amanda's home.
Amanda's door opened, it was her father, her father had a plate of food in his hands...A massive gust of Stunky Stench brushed against Her Fathers face, his smile didn't change in the slightest...Despite the whiff of sour cabbage.
"Hey Dad! How are you?" Amanda said with a small smile as she minimized something on the PC, almost as if she was trying to hide something from her father, it wasn't anything nefarious, but it would be best to tell her dad what it was later.
"Quite well Sweetie, aren't you going to come down for lunch before we leave for the airport?" He asked in a soft tone, Amanda thought for a moment before answering her Father.
"Just a minute dad, sort of doing something important, but I'll be down there before you know it!" She responded, her father smiled as a response before closing the door, leaving Amanda to her privacy and her Stunky, who just woke up by the way.
"Glad you're awake Chester, I'm talking to the professor right now, you want to join me?" She said as she then click a few times revealing that she was video-chatting with someone, while it was the afternoon for Amanda, it seemed like it was early morning for the person that she was web-casting to.
The Stunky now known as Chester nodded as it looked joyous, quickly getting picked up by Amanda and then looking at the computer screen.
Chester the Stunky saw a man on the computer screen, with tanned skin and black hair but you wouldn't really see since it was covered in a colorful baseball cap, he had a big smile on his face as he was surprised at the sudden appearance of a Stunky on Amanda's side.
"Say hello to Professor Kukui Chester." Amanda said as she lightly grabbed one of Chester's paws and made the Skunk Pokémon wave at the man on the computer screen, Chester was curious at this whole ordeal but nevertheless went along with her Trainer
"Eh! you didn't tell me you already had a Pokémon! I guess that means you won't be needing a start Pokémon Huh?" He said as he tossed out his own Pokémon, unleashing the Rock Puppy Pokémon named rockruff, the Rockruff barked and nuzzled the Professor, causing him to laugh lightly as some of the Rockruff's rocks scratched him.
"So Amanda, what do you know about Alola?" Kukui asked as suddenly a pikipek flew into the webcam's vision on Kukui's side, it tilted its head slightly as it saw Amanda and Chester on Kukui's screen.
"Ummm...They're island trials...Right?" She responded with some hesitation as she placed Chester on her lap so he could be more conformable.
"Correct! But also, unlike Sinnoh, Pokémon here in Alola are considered to be VERY important, we love them greatly and they help us out in great heaps too!" The Professor of the Alola Region said as the Rockruff went slightly off-cam, showing only its fluffy white Rockruff tail, causing Amanda to giggle lightly at the Rock Puppy's antics
"Also, Alola consists of four islands, with plenty of cool Pokémon on each one!" Kukui continued, Amanda listened intently, she was more excited than she was before, never before has she ventured out of the Sinnoh Region, and even then, she only went to a couple of towns and cities in the cold region.
"So, you're going to arrive tomorrow night or tomorrow morning?" Kukui asked as the Pikipek quickly flew off-cam while the Rockruff got back into the web-cam, staring curiously as Chester who stared back.
"I believe we'll arrive later night actually, so I think we can meet at tomorrow morning then, does that sound good?" Amanda asked as she started to stroke her Stunky.
"Splendid actually! You can have a full day ahead of you then! That means you can explore Melemele island to your hearts content tomorrow!" Kukui answered with a wide smile on his face,
"Anyway! I got to go for now, I'll see you tomorrow then Hoaloha!" Kukui said as he waved goodbye, Amanda waved meekly waved back as the Professor of the Alola region closed the video chat, leaving Amanda alone with Chester, who went back to sleeping on its sweater bed, the Brunette smiled nonetheless, she was excited to leave to Alola.
Her father and herself decided that it would be best since her Father is going to retire there, might as well live there right? Faint two pidgeys with a single rock throw some people say.
"Rest well Chester...Tomorrow, our Journey starts." She cooed to the slumbering Stunky, as she petted its head, carefully walking down to the living room so she can have some quality lunch with her dad.
Meanwhile in the Alola Region...Three months ago.
It was the early morning in the Aether Paradise, a man-made island dedicated for preserving rare species of Pokémon that were harshly affected by climate or predory changes, the Girl ran to the elevator believing that this was the perfect time to escape since it was the early morning, pressing some buttons on the elevator, the shaft moved upward to the conservation area of the Aether Paradis , not many employees would choose to go to work at such an early time...
Most likely due to the fact that they all hate waking up early.
The girl had long blonde hair and wore a beautifully-made dress that went down to her knees, it was unfazed white, indicating that it was highly clean, or that it didn't seen much of the outside world, she had a big white sun hat with a slight shade of grey as a stripe around the hat, she wore white long socks to reached up to her shins and some light blue shoes.
But enough about clothing, this girl was now at the conservation area holding a big duffel bag, the duffel by itself was moving ever so slightly, this caused the young girl to grip the duffel bag tightly.
"Stop shaking please Nebby..." She said to the bag, she unzipped the bag by a small margin to reveal a set of yellow glowing eyes, she sighed softly as the little Pokémon inside the girls bag tried to not shake, the bag wasn't really spacious so its hard to be conformable but it'll try for the Girls sake.
"We need to get out of here and you shaking is going to get us cau-" The Girl then quickly spotted two Aether employees who were just patrolling until they spotted the white-dress girl, their eyes widened as they spotted the girl.
"Hey! Stop right there!" One of the Employees said as the pair started to run towards the girl, immediately the girl yelped in fear and began to run away from the two,
"Get her!" One of the employees roared, the Girl was about to turn to another walkway until she saw two other employees sprinting, the four Aether Employees cornered the girl quickly getting out their pokeballs.
"Now you stop running! Give us back the bag!" One of them demanded, the girl started to whimper in fear, that was until the Pokémon inside the girls bag finally decided to act, it quickly flew out of the girls bag, it revealed itself to be a rather cute Pokémon with two wing-like appendages, with dark clouds at the ends of them, in fact, the whole Pokémon looked like a little cloud with glowing yellow eyes and blue tinted cheeks, but it quite spacial in terms of pattern and texture.
"Nebby! No!" She exclaimed as suddenly the Pokémon named nebby started to glow with a mysterious power, its whole body started to glow an aura of cosmic blue, after a couple of seconds of powering it unleashed the energy causing the Aether Employees to shield their eyes from the brightness
The Pokémon then flew upward, the conservation area had a glass ceiling so that all Pokémon within the foundation can appreciate the warm sun in the blue sky or the cooling moon in the star-filled space, but right now, the Pokémon looked like a vibrant sun in the cloudless sky.
Sinnoh Region - Twinleaf Town
Amanda Atone, I suppose some background information about this pale Brunette would be good, naturally.
So, Amanda Atone, she's from Sinnoh Region of course, born and raised in the small Twinleaf Town, she didn't had a lot of friends growing up, not because of the inability to make friends, but rather out of choice, for she prefers spending her day indoors and on her PC, thank goodness her favorite food are all vegetables or else she'll weigh as much as a slaking, due to lazing about like one daily.
Her attire? She...Just doesn't care about her appearance, she likes wearing green though so that's a plus I suppose... Right now, she's wearing some mildly ripped blue jeans, with an old grey t-shirt, additional different colored old t-shirts readily available in her closet and the floor.
Occasionally she'll dress well, when she wants to look nice, she'll tie her shoulder-length brown hair into a neat bun, wear a legitimately clean blouse and some non-ripped jeans, but her dressing well is as rare as finding a shiny Pokémon in the wilds.
...It also doesn't help that, due to her spending a lot of time with a Stunky, her musk is the same scent as Chester's...
Sometimes she'll have the stench of Sauerkraut, on a good day she'll would actually smell of something earthy like root or maple leafs, but most times? Nose-wrenching, except to her father (who willfully takes in all of the awful smells with gusto), Her Trusty Stunky Chester, and herself.
She's not clueless or stupid, she knows full well that the few times she goes outside, people distance themselves from her due to her smell, she hasn't shower lately, she knows for sure that temporarily get rid of the smell, maybe even give Chester a bath too! The thought of Amanda giving Chester a well-needed bath made her giggle to herself.
It was the afternoon, Amanda and her father spent the rest of her day packing up their things to prepare for their full household moving, she packed all of her clothes while the rest of the bigger things like her bed or her dresser and PC will be taken by a moving company and stored into a separate plane dedicated for transporting furniture and what not.
In due time, Amanda was finally finished, all of her stuff was neatly placed into a plethora of cardboard boxes, her room seemed a lot more cleaner after she was done packing, her room was usually messy with random clothes and stuff on the floor, now, not so much, her dresser was taken by the company and so was her PC, desktop and all.
Amanda sighed as the thoughts of moving to the Alola Region finally sunk in.
