Summary: Kagome finds herself far away from her home in Lumiose City as she travels to the Alola region, and she is quickly greeted by many new faces of humans and Pokemon alike. Though she was hesitant at first, she took up the idea given to her by her father. Her nature was one of curiosity, so she could not pass up the idea. She never once imagined that she'd catch someone's eye.

Pairing: Kagome x Ilima.

Chapter One

Bright rays of sunlight hit her face as she made her way down the street. The day was as warm as it was bright- not that she would ever complain about that, and it was very fitting weather for her mood.

Kagome let out a peaceful sigh and a second later she had to readjust the dress she wore as a gust of wind hit her full on. A lot of different smells hit her, the different scents being carried on the wind catching her attention as she mentally placed each scent that wafted against her nose.

"The weather is so nice today," she whispered as she glanced up at the sky. She placed one hand over her eyes to provide them some protection against the bright sun, and a radiant smile bloomed alive on her face.

Melemele Island of the Alola region had been her home for a month now, and she had yet to get over how pretty everything seemed to be. The people were nice, the weather was nice, the sights were nice… everything was so nice.

Perhaps that was just her personality speaking, though. She may not have been there for long, but she already preferred the island scenery over the busy city she had come from. The air here carried nothing but peaceful vibes, and she loved that about this place. She felt as though she could breathe freely there, and that was something she would not sacrifice.

A paw tapping against her leg caught her attention, and Kagome glanced down so she could look at the creature trotting next to her as they walked. She came to a halt and crouched next to it. She rubbed her fingers against the fur as it sat down near her crouching form.

The two looked at each other in the eye for a moment before Kagome smiled and scooped the creature up into her arms.

"You're too cute, Eevee!" Kagome cooed over the small creature and cradled it close to her chest. Eevee let out an excited noise in return, and Kagome hummed as she began to skip along with the Pokemon held secure in her arms. Eevee's tail swayed lazily as it rested in the trainer's arms.

"Ah, I wonder what I should do today…" Kagome mused silently to herself as she continued on her way. She had originally planned on just enjoying a walk, but, as she found herself doing so, she was getting a bit bored. She let out a quiet sigh as she closed her eyes and shook her head. "I really should start planning ahead, huh, Eevee?"

"Vee!"

At the sound of agreement from the Pokemon, she stifled her laugh and continued on her way. She walked for a few minutes more before something out of her ordinary routine occurred- she found herself getting knocked back onto her rear end by a boy heading the opposite direction. She made sure Eevee was fine before turning blue eyes up to catch a pair of brown ones staring at her with an apologetic hue afloat in them.

"Uh-oh," he said as he rubbed the back of his head. He held a hand out to her, and she took it with a muttered thanks. "Sorry about that. You're okay, right?"

"Ah, yeah," Kagome nodded once sorting out her thoughts. She felt as Eevee clambered up onto her shoulder, and she held her hand out to the boy across from her. "My name is Kagome. What is yours?" she asked him.

"I'm Ash Ketchum! It's great to meet you, Kagome!"

Kagome blinked at hearing the name, and she cocked her head to the side before she could bottle down the curiosity swelling alive in her. That name… she was familiar with it despite not being able to recall meeting him face to face. He seemed to notice the curiosity on her face, and he gave her a look that mirrored her own.

"Hey… is something wrong?" Ash asked her.

"Wrong? Oh no! Not at all," Kagome flicked her hand in a flippant wave as she offered him a warm smile. A second later the smile was weighed down as she crossed her arms and closed her eyes to ponder a bit more on her thoughts. She felt Eevee jump off of where she rested on her shoulder, and she soon heard the chattering between her and his Pikachu. When she opened her eyes next, she spotted Ash crouching down and petting Eevee. Kagome snapped her fingers together, the noise gaining his attention once more, and she crouched down to mimic his stance. Eevee nuzzled against her knees, and Kagome gave him a proud look as she had figured out her thoughts.

"I remember you!" Kagome told him, and he gave her a puzzled look out of surprise.

"Have we met before?" His voice was awash in worry at forgetting someone, and he relaxed a bit when Kagome laughed and shook her head.

"No, we haven't met before, but my father has told me about you a few times! You've met him, but you've never me."

"Really?" Ash perked up a bit at hearing her words. Without hesitating, he began to rack his brain in an attempt to place who her father might be. When he came up with nothing he let out a sigh and rubbed the back of his head. "Mind giving me a hand here? I can't remember…"

Kagome laughed at his defeated tone and stood up with Eevee cradled in her arms once more. Ash stood up as well, Pikachu hopping onto his shoulder, and the two of them stood side by side.

"I was always busy with other things whenever you came around, and, even when he did pester me to come down and meet you guys, I never bothered to comply," she admitted with a quiet hum. "I don't think it has been all that long… but do you recall Augustine Sycamore?"

"Huh?" Ask perked up at hearing the name, and he suddenly had his full attention on her. It took him a little while to see the connection between them. Not long after looking her over, though, he could see their relation. Their eyes were the same shade of blue, and their hair was the same dark color. Her hair was longer, but it also had that uncontrolled curl to it. "Awesome! I had no idea you were related to him! Though… now I guess I can kinda see it," he told her. They shared a like smile, and he opened his mouth to speak once again. "So, is he here, too?"

"Ah, I'm afraid not," Kagome responded as she adjusted Eevee in her arms. "I'm here on a sort of vacation to get out of Lumiose City for a while, actually. Although… I'll definitely have to let him know that I ran into you here! He'll be thrilled to discover that I finally managed to meet you- even if it was after you departed from Kalos."

"A vacation?"

Kagome nodded and the two began to walk side by side as they continued their conversation. "He didn't like that I was focusing too hard on my work back home. Normally he would not have an issue since I was working hard on my own studies, but he suggested that I take a break from the busy city life so I could take some time to breathe. When he suggested the Alola region I could not pass up the opportunity to research some different species of Pokemon found in Alola!"

"... that doesn't really sound like a vacation since you came with the intention of research…"

A blush rose to tint her cheeks red and she looked away from the boy next to her. "It's a vacation from what I was working on," she muttered. "Anyway, it wasn't like he said I would not be allowed to do research while I'm here. It's sorta like a double benefit. I can get my head out of the city for a while, as well as do some research previously unavailable to me."

Ash laughed and offered her a smile. "I wouldn't expect anything less from a professor's daughter!" He only paused for a second before he suddenly had his attention glued to her face again. "Hey, have you met Professor Kukui yet?" he asked her.

Kagome shook her head. "No, but I've been meaning to find my way out there. I'd love to have the chance to talk with him for a moment or two." she let out a sigh, and Eevee glanced up at her with a worried look in her eye. "Maybe I could even help him out a bit." Of course, whatever the professor here was researching would differ from her father's research of mega evolution, but it wouldn't hurt her to try and help. She'd expand her knowledge as well, and that was one of her main goals of being here.

"Would you be up for meeting him today?" Ash asked her, and he saw as she perked up a bit.

"Of course I would!" she told him before continuing, "but would it be okay to just stop by out of the blue?"

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind!" Ash told her as he flashed her a thumbs up.

Those words gave her a bit of assurance, and she nodded to show her made up mind. "In that case, then… sure! I'd be overjoyed to meet him today!"

With her mind made up, Ash and she began to walk once more. The conversation between them was kept light, and she did inform him of how things were going since he had left Kalos.

Ash asked about her Eevee, blatantly wondering if she had received the Pokemon prior to her leaving so she would not be alone. She thought it to be a decent question, considering the usual types of Pokemon new trainers would customarily receive upon beginning their own journeys.

Still, Kagome shook her head and squeezed Eevee in an affectionate hug.

"I didn't receive Eevee from him, not exactly," she told him. "I was actually taking care of an egg found for him, and when Eevee hatched from it she imprinted on me upon spotting me before anyone else. Considering how used Eevee is to me now, my father decided that it would be best for me to take Eevee with me, instead of having me take another Pokemon that'd have to get used to me."

They walked for a little while longer before Ash thrust his hand outwards to point towards a building in the distance.

"Just up ahead!" he told her, and Kagome nodded.

"Lead the way!"

Auroua-chan: Has this pairing been done before? Please tell me other people like Ilima too., lmao. He's great, like c'mon.

When it comes to Eevee evolving, I will take suggestions on what she should evolve into (if she should even evolve at all.) More or less what would match up best with Kagome. Also, other Pokemon, if any, that she should have join her team. I have a few ideas, but I'll gladly ponder any other ones, too.

Also, Sycamore will eventually make a guest appearance.
