Chapter 1: Welcome to Alola

The day started out just as any other day. The neighborhood kids were out having fun in the cul-de-sac while the Eds were prepping their latest scheme in Ed's backyard. This was by far their most ambitious scam yet.

"Gentlemen if this device actually works, we'll make history." Double said in absolute glee. "This device should transmit a unique signal that will allow us to make contact with other life forms."

"And once we nab one of those aliens, we'll be swimming in cash." Eddy said as he clenched his fists in excitement. "I can practically taste the jawbreakers." Double D shot Eddy a quick glare. "While I still have my doubts of the existence of extraterrestrial life, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious to see. Just think of what a breakthrough it would be. As for my money, I plan to buy that telescope I've been saving up for. What about you Ed?"

"I'm going to buy a fish."

Ed received a stare from both of his friends. "My, how...ambitious of you, Ed."

After installing the final component, the machine was ready to go. Everyone grabbed one end of the device and hulled it onto the wagon, which could barely hold the weight of it. Eddy, as usual, did little to no work and simply ordered the others to push the cart. Ed grabbed the handle, and Double D pushed from the back.

And that's when it happened.

The machine began to vibrate intensely. That sound of clanging metal was so loud that the entire neighborhood probably could have heard it. The Eds covered their ears and gritted their teeth, albeit with the exception of Ed who just smiled like the goofball he was.

"That's it!" Eddy grabbed Ed by the feat and used him to hammer down on the machine until it stopped shaking.

Double D uncovered his ears and let out a sigh of both relief, and disappointment. "All that hard work gone to wa-"

The machine let out a high pitched whistle before finally exploding in a glorious ball of flames, leaving the Eds covered in black soot.

"Ed!" Ed's banshee of a sister hollered out the window of her bedroom. "Stopping making noise, clean up this mess, and do your chores, or I'm telling mom!" She finished off her threat by slamming down the window to her bedroom.

"Oh no, don't tell mom, Sarah!" Ed frantically scooped up the remains of the machine and somehow crammed it all into the garbage bin using his juggernaut strength. The Eds were about to go their separate ways before something unexpected happened.

A small earthquake knocked them off balance before it completely stopped. At first it seemed like nothing, but then they noticed something odd in the sky. It looked almost like a light blue tunnel descending from the sky above, with white vain-like cracks around it as well.

"What on earth is that thing?" Double D shouted as he pointed up at the sky tunnel. A figure could be seen descending from it. It looked like a giant white jellyfish with a semi-transparent body.

As the creature landed in the middle of the cul-de-sac, the kids all scattered off in different directions. Eddy on the other hand, had other ideas. He grabbed a fishing net he had stored under his bed from a fishing scam last weak. He ran right up to the creature and tossed the net over it. As it flailed about in confusion, Eddy grabbed on for dear life. Ed and Double D came and grabbed him by the feet, and it wasn't long before they were all being pulled around by the jellyfish.

The beast ascended back into the heavens from which it came and dragged the Eds with it all the way into the portal.

"Double D, where are we?" Eddy shouted in confusion. The inside of the portal was a bright white with a black hole at the end of it.

"I don't know, but whatever you do, don't let go!" Double D shouted in fear.

However, before the Eds even knew it, the portal was gone and they were now above what looked to be an archipelago, four islands to be specific. The one that was closest to them had a large crater with a city next to it.

The three boys looked up in horror to see the rope beginning to tear. Before they knew it, they were plummeting down into the ocean beneath them.

As they swam back up to the surface (surprisingly unharmed by the fall) they made sure everyone was accounted before swimming up to the beach.

As they dragged their exhausted bodies onto the sandy beach, their vision began to get blurry. As their eyes began close, Double D could make out the letters on a build board.

"Welcome to Alola!"
