Episode 01: Welcome to Alola part 1


Hi, my name is Elio. My Father is the best in the world. Not only is he Champion of both Kanto and Johto, but he is also a Pokémon Master. However, one day, he mysteriously disappeared. And his friend Lance, took his position. I want to become a Pokémon Master just like my Dad. But first, me and my Mom are going to move to the Alola Region. You see, while me and my mom were born in Kanto, my Dad was born in Alola. They both met during their adventures as Pokémon Trainers. My Mom then decided to go to Alola, and I of course I'm excited to meet the Pokémon of Alola. As well as starting my journey as a Trainer there.


"Somewhere in Kanto"

The scene shows a room with a desk and a computer, an 11 year old boy then entered the room and sat on his chair in front of the computer. This boy has gray eyes, pale skin and neck length black hair. He wears a black baseball cap with a white Pokeball-like symbol planted on the front, and it also has a blue brim. He has a blue and white striped T-shirt, black and red cargo shorts that leads to blue and teal water shoes, wearing no socks underneath. He was waiting for a call of his Mom's friend. A screen then appeared which was a little blurry before it then sharpened, showing a tanned young man with dark eyes, black hair, a black man bun and a goatee. He wears a white hat with a rainbow decoration on the front and wears glasses with a teal frame. He wears a lab coat with rolled-up sleeves, grey baggy pants with a teal stripe and white ribbon and some teal shoes with white outlines. He doesn't seem to be wearing a shirt and the boy noticed a silver ring on his finger.

Tanned man: Hang on now. Gimme just a sec…

The man was adjusting the screen as it was a little side-way. He then looked at the boy and waved.

Tanned man: Hey there! Good afternoon!

Elio: Good afternoon, Professor Kukui!

Professor Kukui is a friend of Elio's parents, particulary his dad. He's the Pokémon Professor of Alola.

Professor Kukui: So, the day has finally come that you're moving to Alola!

Elio: Yeah, I'm a little nervous though. But at the same time I'm also excited to come! I can't wait to meet the Pokémon of Alola in person!

Professor Kukui: I'm glad to hear it.

The Professor then showed a screen showing 4 islands.

Professor Kukui: Alola is a Region made up of several islands, it is the reason why our Region is chock full of nothing' but rare Pokémon, yeah! There's no shortage of cool Pokémon out here in Alola, either!

The Professor then took out a Pokeball before releasing the Pokémon inside it. The Pokémon that came out of the Pokeball is a quadruped, canine Pokémon. It has light brown fur with a darker brown muzzle, paws, and ear tips. It has large blue eyes, button ears, a short muzzle with a triangular pink nose, and a short tuft of fur on each side of the cheek. Around it's neck is a ruff of grayish-white fur stubbed with dark brown pebbles. The dark brown markings on its paws extend to a thin point on each wrist and ankle. It has a grayish-white tail that curls tightly over its back and is covered in fluffy fur. Elio then recognized what Pokémon it/he is.

Elio: Is that a Rockruff, Professor Kukui?

Professor Kukui: Yep! You'll find them' and other Pokémon all over. In the grass, in the caves, in the sky and sea… Here in Alola we love our Pokémon, and we depend on them heaps, too. Some of us even battle with' em, if we call ourselves Pokémon Trainers! Rockruff! Can you wait until I'm done talking' to play?!

Kukui's Rockruff: Ruff!

The Puppy Pokémon agreed as he left the screen.

Elio: Say, Professor? Is it true the you're opening a Pokémon League in Alola?

Professor Kukui: That's right! It was time that Alola has his own official League mixing with our traditions. I'll tell you more sometime later.

At that moment, Rockruff appeared back on the screen hanging on Kukui's left shoulder while in the background a certain Flying-Type was flying around.

Professor Kukui: Elio! I can't wait to see you in person, cousin! See ya' later!

Elio: See you soon too, Professor Kukui!

As they waved and said their goodbye's, the screen closed as the conversation ended. Elio then heard his Mother's voice calling to him.

Elio's Mom: Elio! Come help me with these boxes!

Elio: Coming, Mom!

As the boy left the room to help his Mother, the screen zoomed on a magazine showing the 4 islands of Alola.


"Somewhere in Alola"

In a faraway location, the full Moon was high in the sky, shining its light through a glass ceiling. The inside of the complex looked like a conservation of sorts were Pokémon were being preserved. Coming out of some sort of elevator was a white and fair skinned young girl with green eyes and long blond hair, with two seaming heart-shaped braids hanging on each side of her face. She wears a large white hat with a light-bluish ribbon on it. She's wearing a sleeveless white dress with the skirt having bluish transparent outlines, luxurious knee-high white socks, and white-bluish flats. She also carries a round drum bag with Pokeball designs on both sides. In her arms is a Rabbit looking Pokémon. She has pinkish brown pelt on her upper body, head and ears. And a soft pink fleece that covers the lower body, feet and tip of her ears. As well as soft pink spots above her brown eyes and a pink nose. The girl was silently walking until she was spotted by two employees wearing white overalls.

Employee 1: There she is!

Mysterious girl: Ah!

Employee 2: Stop right there!

The girl began to run around the conservation area trying to lose her pursuers until two more employees appeared, blocking her path and leaving no chance of escape.

Employee 1: Now miss, hand over the bag.

The two employees started to come to the girl as she and her Pokémon can only helplessly watch.

Mysterios girl: Oh Lola, what are we going to do now!

Lola: Bun…

However, right before the employees has gotten closer, strange light started to appear from the girl's bag. Everyone stopped watching in shock and the next thing they knew, the girl and her Pokémon disappeared in a flash of light.

Employee 3: What the!? Where did she go!?

Employee 1: That light… I'm certain that was Teleport!

Employee 2: What are we going to tell the President?

The 4 employees silently stared up at the full Moon, having failed to capture the girl.


"Elio's House, Route 1, Hau'oli Outskirts, Melemele, Alola"

3 months later

On Melemele Island, the Sun started to rise marking the beginning of the day. It took very long but he and his mom finaly reached the islands of Alola. The scene shows a House that stood at the outskirts of the island, giving a perfect view of the Ocean. A boy was shown running, being followed by a Rockruff clearly playing a game of tag. On the low balcony of the House stood a tanned woman with long brown hair and brown eyes, she wore a white shirt with a long yellow skirt with white flowers and green grass depicted on it. She whore brown sandals and brown sunglasses. She spreads her arms enjoying the warmth of Alola's Sun. At her side stood a small feline Pokémon with cream-colored fur that turns brown at the tip of his tail and hind paws, his ovoid head has 4 whiskers, wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth on the upper jaw, and a gold oval coin embedded on his forehead. His ears are black with brown interiors and stood om his hind legs. He too was enjoying the rays of the Sun like his owner and partner.

Elio's Mom: Can't you just feel the warmth, Meowth? The first day spent under the Alolan Sun! Boy I sure missed this, it's so warm and bright here! But that's enough of that! Time to unpack all these boxes!

As she finished soaking in the Sun, she looked down at her partner Meowth, who looked back up at her.

Elio's Mom: Meowth? Can you get Elio for me, would you?

Meowth: Meow!

The feline Pokémon nodded as he went back into the House and opened the boy's door to his room before closing. As he looked inside the room, he noticed that Elio has already unpacked his stuff and put them in their respective places, meaning he was up all night. He then walked to the boy who is sleeping in his bed with his clothes still on.

Meowth: Meow.

The Pokémon meowed at him, saying that it is time to wake up, but the boy was still sleeping.

Meowth: Mrow!

Meowth meowed again, only a little louder, but the boy still wasn't waking up. Annoyed, he took a deep breath, and then…

Meowth: Mwaaawwwrrrrrr!

This woke Elio this time as the boy jolted up awake, looking alarmed.

Elio: Who… Wha… What's going on!?

He then looked down at the Cat Scratch Pokémon, who gave him an annoyed look with his arms crossed.

Elio: Oh. Good morning, Meowth.

Meowth: Mrow!

As they said good morning to each other. Elio, now awake, left the room followed by Meowth. Waiting for him was his Mom.

Elio: Good morning, Mom!

Elio's Mom: Good morning, Elio! You were out like a light, weren't you? You ought to be full of energy by now!

Elio: Hehehe… Sorry, Mom. I was up all night unpacking.

His Mom couldn't help but gave a small smile, she knew Elio was very excited to come to Alola, much more than she is.

Elio's Mom: So, Elio… are you pumped to meet some Alolan Pokémon?

Elio: Of course, Mom! Can I please go out?

Elio's Mom: Of course you can! We're living in the Alola Region now! The beautiful islands everyone wants to visit! Just be careful son, even though some Pokémon of the island are friendly to Humans doesn't mean that all Pokémon are. So you better be careful, OK?


"Route 1, Melemele, Alola"

After gaining permission from his Mom, Elio then left the House and started to explore the area around him, unaware that he was being watched by a pair of lemon-green eyes, who was slowly following him from the bushes. Elio then started to walk a dirt road that goes uphill, still watching the beautiful scenery around him, until he stopped when he heard a bush rustle in front of him.

Elio: Huh? What is that?

His answer came out as out of the bush came a long-bodied Pokémon covered in brown fur with a yellow stripe going down his back and underside. He has short, rounded ears on the sides of his head and a short snout with a pink nose. But what terrifies Elio was his large mouth full of sharp pointed teeth. He recognized this Pokémon as Yungoos, the Loitering Pokémon.

Elio: You're a Yungoos… right?

Wild Yungoos: Yungoos!

The boy took a step back only for the Loitering Pokémon to move a step forward, clearly not wanting to let him go. Elio then tripped of his feet and fell on his rear, Yungoos then took this opportunity and jumped at the boy with his jaws wide open. Elio then closed his eyes at this but then he heard the sound of someone bashing into one another. As he opened his eyes he saw Yungoos laying on the ground on his side, but what caught Elio's attention was the one who saved him. In front of him stood a Rockruff. But this Rockruff has a different color. Instead of having light brown fur it was light blue. Yungoos then stood back om his 4 feet and looked angrily at the one who tackled him, who stood in position ready to defend the boy. Yungoos then jumped at the different colored Rockruff with his jaws opened, creating a white aura shaped like a set of teeth. Rockruff managed to jump away of the attack and then his eyes glowed red, sending its red outlines toward the Yungoose, making the Loitering Pokémon cringe as a red outline surrounded him when the attack hit. Rockruff then jumped at Yungoos creating his own set of teeth made of white aura. He then bite at the Pokémon's side showing him how others feel when he bites them. Defeated, the Yungoos then choose to runaway and disappeared in the bushes, leaving Elio and the Rockruff alone. Now that the danger was over, Elio snapped out of his shock as he looked down at the one who saved him. The Puppy Pokémon turned around to him, showing his lemon-green eyes.

Elio: Wow… Thanks, Rockruff. I guess I owe you one.

Elio then leaned a bit closer, as he carefully raised his hand at the Pokemon, who sniffed at his hand first before he then started to lean on it. The boy then began to scratch the puppy's head which he seems to enjoy.

Elio: Hey, wanna take a walk with me? You know, just in case another Pokémon tries to attack, and I could really use some company.

Rockruff thought about this a little and then nodded, giving a bark on response.

Light blue Rockruff: Ruff!

The 11 year old then stood back on his feet, wanting to keep exploring, now accompanied by a different colored Rockruff, which starts the beginning of their friendship.


"Elio's House, Route 1, Hau'oli Outskirts, Melemele, Alola"

1 week later

It has been 3 months since that faithful meeting. Rockruff, now named Amoka, started to live with Elio. His Mother was very happy for her son to have found a friend and welcomed Amoka into the family. Morning came as the Sun started to rise from the ocean and started to shine on the House in Hau'oli's Outskirts. In Elio's room was the boy himself as he was sleeping with his new friend in bed, until the rays of the Sun shinned through the window and stirred the boy from his slumber. Elio was now fully awake as he rose up and stretch his arms, he then looked at his little companion who was sleeping by his side. Smiling a little, he then began to scratch at the Puppy Pokémon ears. This woke him up as he really enjoys the sensation.

Elio: Good morning, Amoka. It's time to wake up.

After changing from his pajamas into his usual clothes, Elio and Amoka entered the living room and were greeted by Elio's Mom and Meowth. They then started eating breakfast with Amoka and Meowth eating together side by side. Despite the difference between Canine and Feline, Amoka and Meowth get along very well. After breakfast was over they started doing their usual routine and chores up till afternoon, until they heard someone knocking at their door. Before anyone went to open the door, a familiar Professor entered the House.

Professor Kukui: Hey there, Kalena! I just let myself in.

Kalena: It's alright. And good afternoon, Professor Kukui.

Elio's Mom, Kalena, were friends with Kukui when they were kids.

Professor Kukui: It has been sometime since the last time we had a conversation!

Kalena: Of course. I still remember seeing you battle the Indigo Gym Leaders back in Kanto.

Professor Kukui: Ha! I was supposed to be visiting there to research Kanto Pokémon moves and all. I thought I knew a thing or two about battling, but those Kanto Gym Leaders proved me wrong!

Professor Kukui then turned his attention to Elio, who has been listening to their conversation.

Professor Kukui: Hey now, Elio! I see that you and Amoka are doing well.

Professor Kukui said as he kneeled down to scratch Amoka's head, before standing back up and looking at Elio again.

Professor Kukui: I know that you already have your own Pokémon, but here in Alola we also have Starter Pokémon's as well, and I thought you may want to choose one of them.

Elio: Really? It will be great having another friend! What do you say, Amoka?

Amoka: Ruff!

The Puppy Pokémon replied back, agreeing with the Professor proposal as well.

Elio: When can I meet them?

Professor Kukui: In the next Town tonight, Elio! They'll be given by the Island Kahuna!

This brought a confused look on Elio's face, as he doesn't know what an Island Kahuna is.

Elio: Island Kahuna! Who are they?

Professor Kukui: The Kahuna's are the strongest Trainer in their Island, and believe me they are crazy strong! They're unbeatable for folks like me and you!

Elio: Wow. I sure don't want to mess with them.

Kalena then joined in the conversation.

Kalena: Those Kahuna's are really worth meeting, Elio! Ah! And I should also mention that there is going to be a festival in Iki Town. There will also be Pokémon battles, it's open for all Trainers and you can join too if you want to!

The boy was now excited to meet this Kahuna as well as having his own Starter Pokémon and have his first Pokémon battle.

Elio: Amoka, we've got a festival to win!

Amoka: Rockruff!

The two grownups looked happily at the two kids, as they can't to go.


"Somewhere in Route 1"

Meanwhile

The scene then shows a room with a few furniture, a sofa and a large white hat with a light-bluish ribbon on it. The hat was then picked by the same girl who escaped from the conservation area as she looked down at her Pokémon with a smile on her face.

Mysterious girl: We better get ready, Lola. The Professor will be waiting for us at the festival.

Lola: Bun.


"Iki Town, Melemele, Alola"

It was nighttime in Alola as the full Moon shone upon a small Town called Iki. Coming to this Town was Elio, along with Amoka, his Mother, and Meowth. A few yards away was Professor Kukui who was talking with a young boy before he left. The Professor then turned around and noticed the family and waved his arm at them.

Professor Kukui: Alola, Kalena! Elio! Glad you could come!

Kalena: Alola to you too, Kukui! It has been some time since I joined in Iki Town's festival.

The Professor then turned to Elio.

Professor Kukui: So, Elio! You're loving Alola already, yeah?

Elio: Yeah, Professor! It's a lot better then I have imagined!

Professor Kukui: That's what I like to hear! The more you love Alola, the happier me and your Mom will be!

Kalena nodded as the Professor was right about that. Said person then turned around before looking back at them.

Professor Kukui: Now lets get moving! Iki Town is right over there!

The family and their Pokémon followed the Professor. Along the way, they were greeted by a few people until passing the entrance to Iki Town.

Professor Kukui: And we're here! This right here is Iki Town!

Elio looked around as the Town was preparing for the festival. There were yellow and orange decorations as well as lantern's.

Elio: Professor, what is the festival really for?

Professor Kukui: It's for the Spirit Guardian, Tapu Koko!

This brought curiosity to Elio as he has never heard that name before.

Professor Kukui: Yep! The folks here worship the Pokémon that watches over Melemele Island. Tapu Koko keeps us all safe and happy, see! To express our gratitude to the Spirit Guardian, we held a Pokémon Battle during the festival.

The Professor has now a confused look on his face as he looked around which Kalena noted.

Kalena: Are you waiting for someone, Kukui?

Professor Kukui: Yeah, we're supposed to meet everybody right here.

The Professor then crossed his arms trying to think why didn't they come.

Professor Kukui: Maybe they're all back there on Mahalo Trial. That's where the ruins of our Guardian Deity, Tapu Koko are, yeah…

The Professor then had a idea as he looked at Elio.

Professor Kukui: Hey, Elio! Do me a solid and go find the Island Kahuna! If, you want to that is…

Elio and his Mother then looked at each other, and his Mom thought he should do it.

Kalena: Why not? It will be great of you meet the Kahuna yourself, just be careful dear.

Elio: Okay, Mom! Ready to go, Amoka?

There was nothing to say as the Pokémon nodded at him.

Professor Kukui: Great! Kalena and I will wait around here to make sure we don't miss each other. The festival hasn't started yet so take all the time you need, cousin!

With this Elio and Amoka left the two grownups and walked around Iki Town looking for the Kahuna, the only clue they have is that they might be at Mahalo Trail. They then walked above the wooden and stairs and saw in front of them a wooden stage, probably where the Pokémon battles will be held. But then Elio noticed a girl who is clearly a year older than him. She wears a white dress and is carrying a round drum bag. She was accompanied by a small Rabbit-like Pokémon with pinkish-brown fur. But what caught the boy's attention was the round bag shaking.

Mysterious girl: Really? You want to go up to the ruins? I don't know what you hope to find there… Let's go, Lola.

The mysterious girl and her Pokémon then began walking up at the trail. Back to Elio and Amoka, even though he was far away to hear, was sure that the girl was talking to something inside the bag. He and Amoka then walked and stood in front of the trail, with 2 rock Totems on each side.

Elio: Well, something tells me that this is Mahalo Trail. Let's go, Amoka.

Amoka: Ruff! Ruff!


"Plank Bridge, Mahalo Trail, Melemele, Alola"

As the boy and his Pokémon the zig-zag road, the mysterious girl and her Pokémon managed to reach the top, where the round bag began to shake again.

Mysterious girl: You can't come out! We'll get in trouble if anyone sees you!

After the bag stopped shaking, the girl and her Pokémon resumed their walk until they reached an old and creaky Plank Bridge.

Mysterious girl I don't think this bridge is very stable, I don't think we can get to the Ruins of Conflict.

Lola: Buneary.

Mysterious girl: Let's go back Lol… Huh!?

Just before the girl turned around, the round bag began to shake wildly again and out came a strange creature. It has a black, blue and purple gaseous body with 2 wisps-like extensions that serves as its arms, yellow eyes and bluish cheeks.

Strange creature: Cooo!

The Pokémon hovered across the bridge to get to the other side, with the mysterious girl and her Pokémon couldn't do nothing else but watch. But then, the Rabbit Pokémon sensed something as both her ears extended. She then tried to get the attention of the girl by hopping in the air.

Lola: Buneary! Buneary!

This caught the girl's attention as she wondered what Lola was trying to say. She then looked at her extended ears and her eyes widened, knowing what this means as she turned back her attention at the floating Pokémon who is now half-way of crossing the bridge.

Mysterious girl: Nebby, come back! There's danger coming!

Nebby: Coo?

This caught the attention of the Pokémon known as Nebby as she turned to the girl in confusion. It was too late however as a flock of Spearow's and began cornering the little gaseous Pokémon, having no intentions of letting her go. The girl and her Pokémon couldn't do nothing but hopelessly stare in fear as Nebby was scared and closed her eyes with her wisps-like appendages.

Mysterious girl: NEBBY!

The girl shouted in distress not knowing what to do as the Spearow flock was closing on the terrified Pokémon. At the steps of Mahalo Trail, both Elio and Amoka heard the girl scream, and knew that something was wrong.

Elio: Did you hear that, Amoka?

Amoka: Ruff.

Elio: We better go check it out. Let's go!

Both Elio and Amoka began to run to where the scream came from, hoping that they'll make it in time. The mysterious girl and Lola cannot help but watch as the Spearow's continued to attack Nebby. Behind them appeared Elio and Amoka, who took notice of the 2 girls.

Elio: Over there!

They went towards the 2 girls who then took notice of them. When they turned around, the were surprised to see the 2 strangers who now stood in front of them.

Elio: What's wrong?

Mysterious girl: H-Help…

The girl was a little nervous talking to a stranger, but she shaked it off as she needed help.

Mysterious girl: Please, save Nebby!

Elio: Nebby?

They all turned their attention to the strange Pokémon as she was crying while the Spearow's are circling her.

Nebby: Coooo!

Mysterious girl: Those Spearow are attacking her! But… but I'm too afraid to go out there… My legs feel like they might give out…

Lola: Bun…

The pinkish-brown Rabbit looked sadly at her friend. Looking at the strange Pokémon being attacked by the Spearow's, Elio gained a determined look on his face.

Elio: Alright then, we'll try and save your Nebby!

This brought a surprised look on the girl's face, but she was glad as she nodded.

Mysterious girl: T-Thank you…

She and her Pokémon moved aside as Elio began to walk the Plank Bridge, only to stop as there was an uneasy creaking beneath him as he put his weight on one of the planks.

Mysterious girl: B-Be careful! The bridge is very unstable and might break!

Elio sweated a little as the situation is becoming more dangerous, but he still has to continue or the Spearow's will take Nebby somewhere.

Elio: Alright then… Amoka, come here!

Amoka: Ruff!

Amoka carefully went to Elio and was picked in his arms. Elio then continued to walk carefully as the girl and her Pokémon were watching anxiously. Elio then got close enough as he stood in front of the Spearow's that continued to attack the poor cloud-like Pokémon. Elio then put Amoka on his right shoulder.

Elio: Okay, Amoka! Use Leer!

Amoka; Ruuu…

The Puppy Pokémon lemon-green eyes glowed red as he sends red outlines at the Spearow's, the attack hit as the flock cringed feeling the weakening effect. They then turned attention and charged at the boy and his Pokémon.

Elio: Now, use Rock Throw!

The Puppy Pokémon jumped of his shoulder as his collar began to glow white, then multi-colored orbs appeared on his tail which rocks began to form inside of it before firing it at the charging Spearow's. The attack hit all of them and this caused the flock to fly away. With them gone the boy then kneeled in front of the cloudy Pokémon as she her eyes still closed using her wisps-like appendages.

Elio: Hey there… It's alright, those bullies are gone now.

The Pokémon took her appendages off her eyes, as she opened them to look at the stranger that saved her. But then…

Mysterious girl: LOOK OUT! THEY'RE COMING BACK!

The girl shouted, and just as she said, the Spearow's came back and began to attack both Elio and Amoka, with Elio covering Nebby with his body. The Spearow's then began to peck the boy as Amoka tried to protect them but is having difficulty as the Spearow's are not giving him a chance to use Rock Throw.

Elio: Shoo! Get out of here!

Amoka: Ruff! Ruff! Grrr!

The 2 of them tried to shoo away some of the attacking Spearow's, but then 2 of them tried to sneak on their back with their talons. But then Nebby, who is starting to get a little upset, began to glow blue in color, which was noticed by the kids and their Pokémon, while the Spearow's continued attacking, ignoring the glow. But just as the 2 Spearow's were about to strike the 2 boys backs with their talons is when Nebby screamed with all her might.

Nebby: COOOOOOO!

All the Spearow were pushed back by the expanding light except Elio and Amoka. The bridge on the other hand was destroyed by the blue light and then Elio, Amoka, and Nebby began to fall into the waters bellows.

Mysterious girl: OH NO!

Lola: BUNEARY!

The girl and her Pokémon were horrified as they couldn't do nothing but hopelessly watch as the 3 of them began to fall. Elio grabbed both Amoka and Nebby as he prepared himself to dive in the freezing waters. But then, in the night sky came a yellow streak of light which revealed a black and yellow Pokémon. It dived down but not before shocking the Spearow flock away. Right before Elio and his 2 passengers landed in the water, the strange Pokémon was able to catch them. He then brought them back up on the cliff besides the mysterious girl and her pink Bunny. He put Elio back on the ground before doing an aerial somersault and now floats in front of the 2 children and their Pokémon. They were all surprised to see this strange Pokémon that came to their rescue, more to Nebby as she sensed something familiar about him, which caught attention of said Pokémon.

Unknown Pokémon: Koookkooo!

After few seconds of gazing, the Pokémon then screeched loudly before flying back in the air at an impressive speed, leaving an electrifying yellow streak before disappearing in the night sky as quickly as he appeared. With the situation over, Elio got back up on his feet still holding into Amoka and Nebby, which snapped the girl out of her shock as she checked at the cloud-like Pokémon.

Mysterious girl: Oh Nebby! Are you alright?

Nebby: Coo.

Nebbu replied with a wave of her wisp-like appendages, telling her she's fine.

Mysterious girl: Oh… Oh, thank goodness! You tried using your powers again… didn't you?

Nebby got a little nervous until she responded the girl's question by nodding her head.

Mysterious girl: Oh Nebby… You know what happened the last time you use it. You couldn't move for ages after that. I don't want to see you like that again!

Nebby got a little sad after hearing that. Seeing the sad look on the Pokémon's face, the girl's expression softened.

Mysterious girl: No… I shouldn't said that. I'm sorry, Nebby… I know you were trying to save me and Lola that time… And I couldn't help you in return…

Nebby: Coo!

The cloud-like Pokémon flew from Elio's arms and into the girl's, showing that she understands. This brought a smile to the girl's face.

Mysterious girl: Oh… Thank you, Nebby.

Elio: Um… Excuse us…

This caught the attention of both 3 girls as they have completely forgotten about the 2 boys in front of them. They both have an unamused face.

Elio: Look, I don't want to be rude but me and Amoka don't like being ignored, especially after we risked our lives back then.

Amoka: Ruff…

Mysterious girl: O-Oh! S-Sorry…

After the girl was apologizing to the 2 boys, Nebby noticed something sparkling in the grass and flew out of the girl's arms to check it.

Nebby: Coo?

Mysterious girl: What is it, Nebby?

Nebby: Cosmog!

Nebby came back to her, holding in her wisp-like appendages is a white stone with a strange marking on it. The girl took hold of the stone as she checked it out.

Mysterious girl: A sparkling… stone? It feels almost warm somehow…

The girl then remembered of the boy that helped her as she bowed down in apology.

Mysterious girl: Please, forgive me… I am so grateful to you 2 for helping us out of that dangerous spot.

Elio: Oh, it was no biggie, I'm glad that it's over now and that your friend is okay.

Amoka: Ruff, ruff!

Elio: Anyway, who are you?

This made the girl nervous as she began mumble to herself. Elio noticed this as he tried to calm her down.

Elio: Okay, okay… You don't have to tell me your name if you don't want to. "Although I'll learn your name someway or another".

This calmed the girl, she then have a thought as to where the stone she was holding came from and why it was left there.

Mysterious girl: I think this stone must belong to you.

Elio: Really? What makes you say that?

Elio asked as the girl gave him the sparkling stone, who's marking intrigued him a little.

Mysterious girl: Just before he left, I saw Tapu Koko drop it… and I think it was meant for you.

Elio: Wait… that was Tapu Koko!?

Mysterious girl: You don't know who Tapu Koko is?

Elio only shaked his head at this.

Elio: No. You see, me and my Mom moved here three months ago. But I don't know everything about Alola. So… who is Tapu Koko anyway?

Mysterious girl: Tapu Koko is the Island Guardian. He goes by many names, Spirit Guardian, Guardian Deity, or Tapu. Each island has its own Island Guardian that protects the island and its inhabitants. From what I learned, the Tapu's are Legendary Pokémon.

The things the girl said about the Island Guardians intrigued Elio, especially the part that they're Legendaries.

Elio: Wow. I never thought id meet a Legendary Pokémon.

Mysterious girl: Please… Don't tell anyone about this… About seeing Nebby… It's… it's a secret, OK?

Seeing the anxious look on the girl's face, Elio assured her with a smile.

Elio: Don't worry, I wont tell anyone. I also have reason to keep this a secret too.

Mysterious girl: Really?

Elio: Yeah. If my Mom finds out what happened here, she'll freak out.

Mysterious girl: I… see…

The girl gave a small smile to Elio before turning to Nebby.

Mysterious girl: Come on. Into the bag, Nebby.

Nebby: Coo.

Nebby nodded as she flew inside the bag and then the girl zipped it closed. With that done, the girl and her Pokémon began to walk back to Iki Town, before she stopped as she has a worried look on her face before nervously turning to Elio.

Mysterious girl: Um… I'm worried we might get attacked again by some wild Pokémon or… or something. I know it's too much for me to ask, but… Do you think you could see us back to Town?

Elio was a little surprised at what the girl asked but he gave a smile and nodded as he put Amoka on the ground.

Elio: Sure! Besides, the Kahuna doesn't seem to be around here so me and Amoka are heading back to Iki Town as well.

Amoka: Rock, ruff!

The girl beamed at him as she and Elio walked down the Mahalo Trail followed by their 2 Pokémon. As the soon to be good friends continued to walk down the road, they didn't notice that a crack appeared in the sky before it quickly disappeared.
