Chapter 1 - Remember! This isn't a vacation!
"Ahhhh. Fresh air. Hey buddy. How long were we on that plane again? Wasn't it around sixteen hours?"
"Garrr"
"Yeah. finally time to stretch our legs. But Garchomp, let's call the professor before we-"
"Damien! Have you landed in Alola yet!?"
Garchomp and I let out a massive sigh. Not even waiting for us to call him. Professor Hastings is always in a rush it seems.
I lifted the styler on my wrist so i could see into the screen. On the projector was the familiar wrinkled face of our dear Professor Hastings. "Hey professor. We've made it to Alola. Just stepped off the plane actually."
He smiled "Good good! Now remember, you must check in to the pokemon school on Melemele island and meet up with Professor Kukui."
"Well, we landed on Melemele so we are good on that. If that's all-"
"Remember Damien. You may be one of the highest ranked rangers here at the union but this isn't a vacation! We've gotten many reports of a 'Team Skull' terrorizing the locals. Murph sent you the reports a little while ago. Now when you meet with Kukui, you are going to be assisting with teaching."
"Wait, you want me to be some kind of teaching assistant on my downtime?"
"In a matter of speaking. You are one of the few rangers who has mastered Mega evolution after all. Along with your strong bonds with several legendary dragon type pokemon" he pointed downwards, bringing my attention to the shards attached to my styler, reminding me of my adventures with the legendary trio of creation. Shards of the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous orbs, along with a keystone from our adventures in Kalos. The corresponding Garchompite was set in a custom made scarf wrapped around Garchomp's neck, with a mark on it showing its allegiance to the Ranger union.
I sighed. "Yeah yeah. I guess i could spare some time to help teach some kids."
"You should! After all, you could learn about Z moves. Something only seen in the Alola region so far. It may add more power to Garchomp and help you both with your Team Skull endeavors."
I smirked. "You hear that buddy?"
"Gar!" Garchomp smiled and stretched out.
"Alright professor. We're gonna get going to that trainer school alright?"
He nodded. "Once more, this isn't a vacation. This is another assignment. You are the only ranger out there so naturally every request falls to you."
"Sure thing professor. Ill report in every day or so." with a nod in confirmation, Professor Hastings cut off the call.
"Alright bud. Let's head to a cafe or something. I'm starving."
"Chomp. Garrr."
"Yeah bud, i know you're hungry too. Come on. Let's grab something for the way."
