It was a day like any other, I went to school, did some homework, and played the ever so famous game Pokemon. This time I was going through the Alola region for the hundredth time. Then I powered down my Pikachu patterned Nintendo 3ds XL. I layed down in my bed, and was whisked away to a world of slumber. Another wonderfully boring day in my life. I mean nothing new ever happens, and they've released basically the same game twice just to make more money.
But then, I swear that I heard a voice, an echoed voice... The voice grew louder until I could understand the words "Boring Huh? TAKE THIS" and then I could hear not some mystical incantation or magic words, I heard literally the most calm voice say "Hibbitybopityboo" and then a bright light. I open my eyes for them to start burning, like I'm staring into the sun. And then darkness.
I could tell some amount of time passed and I open my eyes barely to find myself hearing the roaring of waves and the sand beneath my feet.
"W-Where am I?"
I could hear very faintly a voice just next to me saying something. I couldn't tell because I got water in my ears and I have a small headache. I felt the sand beneath my body start to move! Or... I'm being moved? I could hear more mumbling, and other different higher pitched mumble, and then I saw black.
I woke up again, significantly more rested this time. More time has passed. What in the world even happened? I could feel the warmth of a blanket over top of me and some form of padding below me. It didn't feel like my bed. I got scared about where I was and quickly lifted my head up. This is not my home!
"So you've finally awaken?"
"Wha-WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE AM I!?"
"Oh I haven't introduced myself yet? I'm Professor Kukui cuz!"
"K-Kukui?! But you don't!?"
"Oh so you know about me? Well actually of course everyone knows about Melemele Island's Pokemon professor!"
"...I didn't even say anything..."
"Lillie was walking on the beach to clear her mind and she freaked when she saw you! Just laying there motionless on the beach!"
"I was laying on the beach?"
"Yup! So she came and informed me about you. So I threw you over my shoulder and carried you here!"
"You.. Okay I kinda understand."
"Yup. And you've been out for about 24 hours."
"24 HOURS! That doesn't seem healthy!"
"We tried to wake you up, never happened."
"Oh.. I'm sorry if I worried you..."
"Nothing of it! By the way if I'm not mistaken is that a mega stone?"
"Mega..What?"
"Mega stone! It's the thing on your necklace?"
"On my... my necklace?" I know I own a necklace, it is in the shape of a cross. But I've never had anything else on it...
I look down at my necklace to realize that there is a stone in the center of the cross, gleaming with light.
"Yeah I guess I have one"
"Well that means you aren't accustomed to Alola right?
"Well actually I know this place inside out..."
"Hmm what was that?"
"Nothing! But it's nice to actually meet you Kukui"
"It's a pleasure."
"By the way can you spare this couch for a while I don't exactly have a home in this region... he he..."
"Of course! Just stay out of the loft, that's where Lillie sleeps."
"Okay."
I get up from the couch and head outside. It is so much more beautiful than in the games. Speaking of the games... I can't really do anything without a Pokemon... I notice that I'm wearing my leather coat. I usually don't wear this on any old day. I reach into my pockets to reach out one lonely pokeball. Wonder what Pokemon I have in this thing. I casually hold out the pokeball and a flash of red light emits from the object and it morphs into an outline of a body. The light turns into a white and red organism staring right at me.
"Blaziken? Is that you?"
"Ken!"
"So my main Pokemon through the generations is still my main Pokemon in this world..."
"Blaze?"
"It's nothing Blaziken. Glad you're with me. Together we will be tanks in this world!"
":D" [Didn't know what to put here so here's a happy face]
I look around the shores and think about what I could do next. This is actually great in some capacity, I wanted something new, and I can meet my favorite characters! The only problem is if I meet the Aether Foundation or Team Skull... I will cross that bridge when I come to it. How did the game go again? I get here to Alola, pick my starter, and then I go to the ruins of conflict to save Nebby... I guess I can at least go in that direction in town.
I start to walk away towards Iki Town, briskly jogging of course. Need to keep this accurate. I eventually get to the entrance to town to only see three kids battling each other. Three kids? Wasn't it me and Hau that were fighting? On closer inspection I see that it is indeed Hau fighting the other kids, but there also are the main characters! What were they called again...
"And I won!" Said the girl
"I knew you could do it Moon!"
"Thanks Sun!"
Oh right... Since they never really said their actual names in the games everyone just called the girl Moon, and the boy Sun. Quite original name to give to your kid.
"Our first defeat! Sorry, Rowlet! Whoa you are so cool Moon!"
"Thanks!"
And I'm guessing this is where Kukui..
"Right on, Moon! You and Hau both brought out the best in your partners and pulled off some spectacular moves! And it looks like you got the attention of one of our visitors!"
"Oh? Hello!" Sun says as he waves over at me.
"Hello there! Those were some nice moves you put out there!" As I gesture over to Moon.
"Ohhh.. It was nothing." She says starting to blush
"Iki Town is right up those stairs. Come on cuz!" As he say looking over at Sun and Moon then looks at me expecting to follow.
"I guess so..." I say nervously.
"Yeah! You should totally check out Iki town!" Says Hau
"It's so nice of you to be like that towards me even though you don't know who I am!"
"Ohhh It's just what I do!" Hau replies
We head up the stairs and I kinda expected in large bold text the words Iki Town to come across my field of view, but that didn't happen.
"This is the place where folks come to worship the Pokemon that watches over Melemele Island." Kukui explains," Tapu Koko keeps us all safe and happy, see!"
I don't exactly remember everything word for word what happens in the games, so I guess I'll have to wait for the conversation to start and remember.
"Looks like the kahuna's nowhere to be found, though..." Kukui further explains," I guess there must be some trouble somewhere on the island that needs fixing, yeah?"
"Yeah, the kahuna wandered off without a word a word to nobody, singing a little ditty or something."
"Isn't he like your grandpa?" I say
"Well I don't keep track of everything he does! I'm not his baby sitter!"
"Makes sense."
"I'm going to stop by home for a sec. I've gotta show my mom Rowlet!"
Hau runs off towards his house.
"Hey I've got an idea!" Says Kukui." If you head through the village and up the hill, you can visit the ruin that belong to Tapu Koko! That's our island guardian deity, yeah! Why don't you go introduce yourself? I'll stay back and wait if the kahuna comes back!"
"Alright bro lets go!"
"Hey don't pull so hard!"
I see the two whisk away towards the ruins. I need to get there first. I don't know why, I just feel like I want a Z-ring straight from the Tapu himself. I run as fast as I could towards the front stage, passing the two siblings, and running straight ahead. I can't see Lillie but I can hear her say something of the lines of
"I know I know!"
Knowing that the siblings are far behind I walk over to the entrance way to the bridge area. I see Nebby jump out of the all important bag and float over to the middle of the bridge and then getting attacked by some Spearow. Lillie turns around after presumable hearing my footsteps.
"Ah..."
"What's wrong?"
"You have to help it! Please!" She says with surprising emotion," Save Nebby!"
"Pe-e-ew..."
"Those Spearow are attacking it! But... I'm not a trainer. I can't..."
"Don't worry your.. uhh. 'Nebby' will be fine!" I purposely tried to pretend I didn't know what Nebby was so I would seem trustworthy.
One of the spearow looked over at me and started to fly towards me with intentions to hurt.
"Time to shine Blaziken! Come on out!" In all anime style I pose while Blaziken is being released
"Let's bring these birds down! Use Blaze Kick!"
Blaziken jumps upwards shaking the bridge in the process and lets down a devastating kick launching the Spearow into the bridge breaking some planks but it plummets to the bottom.
"Poor bird..."
I look behind me to see Sun and Moon just arrive. No need for distractions right now... I just need to focus on the task at hand. It's just that.. I'm afraid of heights...
"Come on uhhh... You! You can save Nebby!" I hear Moon shout from the other side. I'm guessing Lillie filled them in already as well.
I cross over to Nebby very carefully after recalling Blaziken because there would be too much weight. I do as in the game and curl over on top of Nebby and shield them from the on board Spearow posse. The spearow attacked my body pretty hard actually.
"Here it comes..."
Nebby starts to glow until it lets out a burst of light breaking the bridge beneath us.
"Don't look down... Don't look down... Don't look down..."
I look up to see the island's guardian Tapu Koko basically obliterate the Spearow and flies down to save me. Picking me up by the waist and landing back down onto the floor near Lillie. As I get a good look at the guardian's face I can tell that it's powerful. Everyone around me looked amazed at what they are seeing. Like a jolt of lightning the majestic beast flew away in a bolt and flash."
"Oh... Oh, thank goodness! You tried using your power again...didn't you? Oh, Nebby... You know what happened last time you used it. You couldn't move for ages after that. I don't want to see you like that again! No... I shouldn't say that. I'm sorry, Nebby... I know you were trying to save me that time... And I couldn't even help you in return... What... What is that? A sparkling...stone? It feels almost warm somehow... Please, forgive me... I am so grateful to you for helping us out of that dangerous spot. I think this stone must belong to you. Please... Don't tell anyone about this... About seeing Nebby... It's...it's a secret, OK? Come on. Into the bag, Nebby."
"Well don't mind anything at all! And this stone isn't mine... But maybe Tapu Koko was giving a gift to me! So I will take it anyways!"
"Oh okay..."
"That was awesome! I didn't know you owned a Blaziken!" Sun said.
"Well yeah! I've had this guy for a really long time! He's like family and we've grown super strong!"
"Maybe we'll have a battle someday?" Said Moon
"Definitely will!"
"By the way what is your name?"
"My name is..." Hurry think of a cool name! "Arthur" Stupid Stupid Stupid!
"Nice to meet you Arthur!"
"I think we should get back to town..." Lillie interrupted.
"Yeah! Let's go!"
