Pokemon:

The Corrupt Side of the Moon

Her eyes widened as she bestowed her pale blue eyes upon a new region, Alola. She was ready. Dressed in a white and yellow floral top that tied into a bow in the front, blue shorts, and a unique hat, she finally stepped foot off the boat. Upon arriving in Alola, Moon, and her mom gathered their things and headed to their home in Hau'oli Outskirts- a very sunny paradise like place with lots of greenery. There, four Machamp's quickly grabbed boxes out of the moving truck that had arrived. It seemed to have only taken a few minutes before all the boxes were inside.

Professor Kukui had three starter type Pokémon, Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio, for three special trainers. Those trainers would be Moon, Hau, and the Professor himself as he wanted another companion. Moon wondered through routes carefully avoiding grass and flying Pokémon to make it to Professor Kukui's laboratory. When she arrived, she was met with a very tan boy around her age wearing a black shirt, and Hawaiian shorts. His hair and eyes were very dark as well.

"Hello, my name is Hau, grandson of Melemele island Kahuna! What's your name?" Hau asked excitingly.

"Oh…" Moon grew a bit nervous.

"My name is Moon, I just moved here from Kanto. I've come for my first Pok-." She stopped mid-sentence when the Professor brought in the three starter Pokémon.

The Professor let the three Pokémon out of their PokéBall's and onto a table that he rolled over. Atop sat the three starters waiting to be chosen, Rowlet, a cute grass type owl Pokémon with green wings. Then there was Litten a red fire cat that was feisty and wouldn't bond with people easily. Lastly, there was little Popplio, a blue water and fairy type seal like Pokémon. When Moon saw Rowlet she screamed and ran up to it excited.

"I LOVE ROWLET! Will you please be my little Astaroth?" She hugged the Rowlet and it smiled.

"You know, Moon… that Rowlet there is exceptionally rare... I was supposed to study it because it's classified as what we call a 'shiny Pokémon.' My assistant must have mixed up the Rowlet's, but seeing as Rowlet has already chosen you as it's trainer it would be cruel to take it back into the lab. Congratulations on obtaining your Astaroth!" Professor Kukui explained.

"Then I'm choosing Popplio! Come on Mystika!' Hau lifted Mystika (Popplio) into his arms then booped her nose with the Poke'ball in which Mystika went inside.

Both trainers were exceptionally happy with their starter Pokémon, and were handed PokéDex's, PokéBall's, potions, and a map then headed on their way out to their journey.
