Chapter 2: Enter Sun and Moon! Welcome to the Konan Region!
Ash along with his Pikachu and only Pokémon as he is going the traditional way and having only his starter board the cruise ship heading to the Konan Region. They left 9:00am in the mourning waking up early enough to have breakfast with all his friends. Ash lay against the railing of the ship his Pikachu sitting on the railing beside him. Ash smiled looking up at the early morning sky, thinking back at early breakfast.
Earlier 7:00am
Ash, Mrs. Ketchum, Gary Oak, Professor Oak, Cilian and Iris return to the restaurant they ate at for dinner now for breakfast. "What your leaving already?!" Iris said in dismay. "Axew Ax." Her Pokémon responded in the same distraught. "Yep I'm going to the Konan league!" Ash declared proudly.
Cilian had a distraught expression and then smiled liking the aroma on where this is going. "Well good for you Ash are you going to bring your Pokémon with you?"
"Nope just me and Pikachu." Ash smiles and began eating a piece of his pancakes.
"Gary is it what Pokémon are you going to bring with you." Cilian ask. Gary looks at him and smile. "I'm bringing just my Blastoise."
"Oh wow all the way from Kanto that's amazing!" Iris announced.
Breakfast ran smoothly the conversation continuing about the journey and all of Ash's past journeys. The group after breakfast went to the cruise ship where Ash and Gary will board and depart to the Konan Region. Ash outfit change from his Unova wardrobe to long dark blue jeans, black and crimson Nikes and a red and white checker pattern shirt with a hoodie coming out the back red on the outside and white on the inside. He also wore his trade mark gloves and cap. Gary wore a dark gray jacket two pockets on the torso zipped up; he has a white polo shirt under, a necklace with an oval pendant and long tan jeans with a black belt. "Hey Ash nice outfit." Gary said sarcastically. "Ash here your back pack." Mrs. Ketchum said she handed it to him. "Gary I got you one too." Mrs. Ketchum handed to him. Ash received his white snapback and Gary received his deep blue snapback. "Thanks Mrs. Ketchum." Gary bowed.
"Now you two in each snapback is nine pokeballs consider them gifts for making us so proud." Professor Oak said. "Wow thanks grandpa." Gary smiled. "Yeah, thanks professor Oak." Ash said.
Ash and Gary boarded the ship waving goodbye to his mother, Oak, Iris and Cilian. "Ash, he was quit the character." Cilian smiled. "Yeah, but he still just a kid." Iris said.
End Flashback
"Ash!" Gary called running up to his rival. Pikachu and Ash look back at Gary who handed him a familiar but different looking device. "Professor Oak wanted me to give you a Poke-Nav." Gary handed it to him. Ash received the Nav which had the same appearance as the one from the Hoenn Region except it is white with a red stripe on the side and the overall model is updated. Gary's Nav is also updated and is black with a yellow stripe on the side. Functions of this Poke-Nav though originated from Hoenn have been updated with a map of all the regions including Konan and significant places within the cities. It also checks the condition of Pokémon and provides a move list of what each Pokémon can learn through teaching or leveling up. The Poke-Nav provides also as transportation for pokeballs between professor labs and in Ash and Gary case it connects to Professor Oak's lab. They scan the ball which is then transported to the lab and to receive another ball the professor has to dial the number scan the ball in their lab and send it to them. You would assume this would hurt the Pokémon center in some way but it doesn't for the center is still needed for healing and will always be needed as long theirs Pokémon.
"Thanks Gary this is awesome!" Ash said and Pikachu agreed. Ash's Nav rang and the screen which showed a digital version of Ash's face when not being used to show ownership changed to show his mother. "Hey honey." She smiled. "Hi mom." Ash smiled back. Professor Oak came into view with his mother. "Ash is Gary there?" He asked. "Yeah?" Gary questioned. "Wassup gramps?"
"When you and Ash get there I need y'all two to visit the regions Professors." Oak explains. "Professor Ellis and Professor Demarco I'd ask them to update your pokedexs because well…I forgot." Oak said hand behind his head laugh nervously. "Thanks gramps but how come you didn't call my Poke-Nav?" Gary question feeling at the moment and for the first time slightly jealous of Ash. "Well Gary I was dialing your number but Mrs. Ketchum beat me and called Ash once she heard I forgot to tell y'all something." Oak explain sympathetically.
"I want you all to be well prepared for your next adventure." She smiled. Ash and Gary laugh embarrassingly. The conversation continued with a few last goodbyes and good lucks along with Ash and Gary both claiming to be the next Champion of the Konan region.
3 Days later
However not far from the city where they will port in a small neighborhood a young woman thirteen years of age lie in bed. She has long red bedhead hair, wearing blue pajama top and pink pants. Her room wasn't very girl and though at first glance you would consider a 'too cute to work girl' she was really a tom boy on the inside. The room was a contrast of and combination of girly and boyish. An aroma of breakfast feel the room tingling her nostrils the smell of every breakfast food imaginable feel the air. She has woken up at 10:12am yawn and look at the large mirror in her room and then the clock noticing the time. She shouted realizing how late she was in receiving her Pokémon. "Oh no, MOM!" She shouted. It took her ten minutes to get dress and fix her hair. She wore a tight black tank top with a smiley, yellow and black mini skirt, and black and yellow heals. She ran down the stairs of her two story house and in to the kitchen where her mother who had her auburn hair cut to her ears, she wore a short sky blue dress and blue heels. "Why didn't you wake me!?" She shouted.
"I'm making breakfast dear." She smiles stirring the grits.
"Who makes breakfast this late in the morning?" The red head daughter shouted and bolted out the door. Her mother stepped out the door and shouted in distress. "Moon! GET BACK HERE AND EAT YOUR BREAKFAST!"
Moon took thirty minutes before she reached Daybreak City running tired but not willing to stop until she reaches the Professors lab. Konan Region is slightly different from the other regions as some parts are like metropolis, country sides, ghettos, suburban, rough terrain, grass fields, forest, caves, islands and the like basically made up of all the regions put together including its own original touch. She dash on the sidewalk dodging people and crossing the street dodging cars but with caution. She's been waiting to receive her first Pokémon sense she was ten but that exact year requirements were upgraded to thirteen years sense Pokémon in this region are powerful than average. Waiting three years after that she is ready and was a block away from reaching the lab and what stopped her crashing into her child hood best friend on the sidewalk. He is thirteen and two inches taller than her, he has tan skin, short messy black hair, red eyes contrast to her yellow ones, he wore red plaid pants, black and red shoes and a black tank top with a gold crown emblem and red boxing gloves wrap around it. The two fell on their ass in pain.
"Ouch damn moon where you learn how to tackle like that?" The young man chuckle standing back up and offering his hand. "Sun, darn it I'm trying to get my Pokémon and your fat ass is in the way." Moon said annoyed and taking his hand as she stood back up. "Thanks."
"No problem and I were heading that way to go see my parents." Sun said and the two began to walk toward the lab. "I still don't know what I want. I'm thinking about an Icitten a water type. Maybe a Flarpup a fire type or a Leafild grass type." Moon thought with a grin.
"A Leafild was the starter my Dad gave me when I went to Hoenn region." Sun remember fondly.
"Bragging isn't cute and wasn't your first Pokémon a Tyrogue?" Moon said. "Well yeah but it's not a starter it was my first and I love him so especially when he evolve into…"
10:30 am Seaport of Daybreak city
Ash and Gary arrived at the Seaport walking into the city observing the sites. Gary took a glance at his Poke-Nav and Ash with Pikachu admire the buildings that surrounded them the busy city life with the exotic colors and had somewhat of a familiar Nuvema Town feel. "Hey Ash it says that the lab is a mile from here." Gary spoke after viewing his Nav. "Oh wow it's a Pokémon gym." Ash said getting excited he ran over to the front of the gym and Gary followed. "From the looks of it it's a fighting type gym." Gary assume by its design.
"You need six Pokémon to take this gym challenge." A young man said behind them. The pair looks back at him, he is an eighteen year old young man, wearing a white lab outfit, and he has tan skin, black hair in a ponytail, red eyes and diamond stud earrings. "Are you this town's gym leader?" Gary asks. "No, I'm the former gym leader though back then I was the master in steel types. I'm Ace the professor's assistant in this region. I was told to come pick up an Ash and Gary Oak."
Ash and Gary smiled. "That's us." They said in union. The two laugh embarrassed realizing what they said. "I'm Ash." He corrected. "I'm Gary." He corrected. "This is my buddy Pikachu." Ash introduced causing the electric rat to speak and smile. "Nice meeting all of you especially you Gary it's nice meeting a fellow scientist though I'm still in training." Ace grins. "The pleasure is all yours." Gary joked. "It looks like you'll need a ride come hop in my jeep." Ace suggested and motion to them.
The group headed to the black SUV with chrome rims and they headed to the lab. The day is beautiful and traffic is smooth as they glided the road. "So Ash and Gary I'm assuming you guys are taking the gym league challenge?"
"Yes, me and Pikachu are going to win this one!" Ash said feeling triumphed and Pikachu agreed. "Oh yeah well you two can register for the league at the lab but I warn you our gyms are a little different and no leader is a push over." Ace said proudly.
"Different how?" Ash question Pikachu as well. "Well you see Ash…" Gary began. "We'll explain that along with the new trainer when we get to the lab.
Daybreak's Lab
The two professors and their son, Sun sigh as they waited for Moon to make a choice even the Pokémon appear to lack patience as well. She looks at Flarpup a fire type Pokémon. It appearance is a red puppy with a yellow spot on his back, yellow paws on the bottom and a yellow behind. It had its fur on its head style into a flame and was very cute and average size. The next was Icitten a water type Pokémon. It's a small kitten ice blue fur. It appears pointy but it's actually quiet soft and cold to the touch but very cute. The next was Leafild (Male) theirs a different between male and female. The male Leafild looks like a small child wearing leaf green pants, leaf green skully on his head but in actuality it's all vegetation. Its consider the Konan Ralts. Each Pokémon like most starters is very cute but powerful and knowing this Moon had a hard time choosing but made a decision.
"Your mine Icitten!" Moon said proudly. Moon lifted the Pokémon. "Meow." Icitten cheered. Everyone in the room clap proudly. "Nice pick." Sun said.
"Yeah, hey I wanna fight your Pokémon sense I got mine." Moon said proudly and her Icitten chimed. Sun crossed his arms like and X. "Block no way I'm not going to do that."
"What why?" Moon asks Crestfallen her Icitten ask also with a. "Meow."
"That's just Pokémon abuse minds is on an extremely high level one attack could possibly kill your starter." He bragged and pleaded at once.
Moon glared and so did her Icitten. "Just because you're the Champion doesn't mean you can brag non-stop." She and Icitten pointed.
"What you're the champion!" Ash exclaim coming from the door.
The group in the lab looks at the group just entering which consist of Ace, Ash and Gary. "Oh, so these are our guest." Professor Demarco said. Demarco was a man in his early thirties. He had messy black hair like his son Sun; he had an after shave, emerald eyes and wearing lab attire all white. The other professor is his wife Ellis. She has brown hair in ponytail, red eyes, wearing a white lab coat, red shirt under and long tan skirt. "Mom Dad this is Ash and Gary. Ash these are my parents Demarco and Ellis the professors." Ace introduced. He then looks at Sun putting him in a headlock. "This is my cute little brother Sun." Ace teased. "Off me!" Sun stated trying to peel from his brother's grip. "Tough lil punk huh?" Ace said.
Moon ran up to Ash and Gary. "Hi, I'm Moon is you starting your journey here too." She smiled. "No we started are journey years ago." Gary said. "We are from the Kanto Region and we came to participate in the Konan League." Ash said. "Pika Pika." Pikachu said with his usual smile. "So cute hello there and who are you?" Moon asks.
"It's a Pikachu." Professor Demarco said. "Quite a few of them are in the Static Fields. They say when these Pokémon gather together they can cause electric storms." He said tickling the mouse chin which he loves. "So Sun you're the Champion in this region?" Ash asked.
Sun and Moon looks at him confuse. "No Ash you really need to keep up with the news he's the Champion in Hoenn that defeated Brendan." Gary corrected. "What's a Hoenn Champion doing here?" Ash said. "I'm from the Konan Region and visiting my family that and I want to see all my Pokémon." Sun smiled.
"Speaking of that isn't one of your companions missing." Professor Ellis his mother said preparing a lecture.
Sun had his hands up shyly. "He's around I can't be up under him he needs freedom right ha ha."
"You should just put him in his Pokeball." Moon said sternly with her Icitten in hands which meow in agreement. "He doesn't like it ever so I just let him freely roam around."
"I understand Pikachu rides on my head or shoulders because it's much more comfortable than any ball. Right buddy?" Ash said and Pikachu agreed.
"Say Sun can we see some of your Pokémon you team up with in the championships?" Gary asks eagerly. He heard many rumors of Sun being the most powerful Champion in all the regions especially sense he came from Konan and had a legendary Pokémon as his partner. "Sure why not I haven't seen them in a while, only thing is their all on break so no battles." Sun said.
The group headed toward the back-yard of the lab where all the Pokémon were out either exercising or playing. The lab was no different than any other Pokémon lab except for its own unique appearance. The lab is located a mile out the city which was convenient for new trainers sense it takes you on a route which leads to a fork in a road and you can go to either gym one being a dark type or a ground type. The lab is spacious and convenient for all Pokémon and their types. The group step outside the door watching the field feels with all types of Pokémon frolicking the field, flying through the air, and swimming in the water.
"Oh wow it's so beautiful." Moon said her Icitten jump out her arms running to play with the Skitty and Shinx nearby. "Icitten!" Moon cried.
"Let them play when your ready practice returning it with her Pokeball." Ellis said handing Moon its ball. Moon received it but was nervous about the Pokémon she just goes leaving already.
Sun stepped a few feet in front and called out. "Everyone I'm home!" He shouted. Minutes later several poke cries can be heard. "Whoa check it out!" Ash said and Pikachu agreed. "Impressive." Gary said referring to the lineup heading their way. The ground began to shake and the other Pokémon scurry away letting the Hall of Famers through. Moon ran up to Icitten concern for her safety and held her Pokéball out. "Icitten return." Moon called and said Pokémon went back to its Pokéball.
The lineup that ran or flew to them was Raichu, Aggron, Gardenangel (male) final evolution of Leafild, Banette, and Raqueza. Sun knelt down and hugged Raichu picking him up the rest surrounded him and he introduced them. "These are my Champions." Sun said. The crew cried introducing themselves. "Who's that Pokémon?" Ash said holding out his Pokédex to the Gardenangel but no data came up.
Gardenangel is an angelic Pokémon, green butterfly wings large, 6'7 feet tall, vegetation on its head becomes helmet like, long brown stems for hair to his waist, muscular built whitish green skin, and a long angelic emerald vegetation growth around the waist concealing his legs and had yellow bug like eyes. It's a Psychic and Grass type Pokémon.
"Oh, that's right we're supposed to be updating you all Pokédex." Demarco said. "Ash, Gary, and Moon please come inside with me."
"Oh, I want a power pack team like that." Moon sighs. "What an unusual Pokémon." Gary stated about the Gardenangel. "Oh man if all Konan region Pokémon look like that it's going to be an awesome adventure." Ash said pump the three follow Demarco, Ace seconds late following behind them. Sun however stayed behind to play and catch up with his Pokémon his mother Ellis watches with pride.
Ash, Gary, and Moon sat in the lab waiting for their Pokedexs to be updated by Demarco and Ace. "Wow so that's a Raqueza we just saw!" Moon said. "Yeah, I didn't think legendary Pokémon can be caught how did Sun do that?" Ash said genuinely amazed. All throughout his journey he heard how dangerous it was to capture those types of Pokémon but secretly wanted one. "You know Brendan the former Hoenn league champion has two legends Groundon and Kyogre. Together this makes up the Hoenn regions whether trio." Gary explains.
Demarco and Ace came back with the pokedexs updated handing them back to each trainer. As soon as Ash receives his dex he looks up Gardenangel data. "Gardenangel the angelic Pokémon it is said if raise from a Leafild it will never leave its trainer becoming the trainers guardian angel." The dex lady spoke.
"Oh how romantic." Moon said. "Moon; here is five Great Balls you can use." Ace handed to her along with a red snapback. Moon put the balls in her bag and wore it on her back. "Great balls?" Gary questions.
"Yes, only the starters have standard pokeballs the rest we give out are great." Ace answers. The lab door open everyone look to see a short fighting type Pokémon enter with a smile and closing the door. "Hey, so you came back." Ace smiled. "Had a nice walk?"
"Mon." The Pokémon answers.
"Hey theirs Sun's other Pokémon." Moon smiled.
"Wow, that's really rare." Gary said. "Cool." Ash said and Pikachu agreed.
Sun ran inside, his mother calmly walking behind him. "Hey, Hitmontop!" Sun ran to the Pokémon that enter and they greeted each other. "Where you been buddy." Sun ask as he was a little concern. Hitmontop laughs. "It's not funny." Sun said hands on his hips.
"So you were worried?" Moon teases giving a sly look. "Yeah, he's my responsibility." Sun said.
The group stepped outside onto the route which will lead to the as the Demarco was explaining the routes they can take. "When you come across the fork in the road to the left is Umbreon Forest and to the Right Espeon fields." Demarco said. "Yes either gym you head to be a good start sense their both rank one gyms."
"Rank one." Ash questioned. Pikachu responded also confuse saying. "Pika." Gary was equally confused but remembers Ace mentioning something like that. "Oh, that's right. You see in Konan you need to get certain badges that are rank from 1 to 8." Ace explains.
"1 to 8 you mean like first second third?" Ash questioned.
"No, like a badge is one rank another is second rank like level 1 and 2 in a game Ash." Gary said noticing his rival still confusion.
"That's right." Ellis said. "The gym here is and 8 rank gym so you can start here but the two gyms up ahead are rank one and not that far from each other."
"Say Sun wants to come with me?" Moon asks. "Duh you're just a rookie of course I'm coming." Sun said and Hitmontop agree.
"Hey why don't we all travel together?" Ash suggested. "Together?" Moon questions. "It'll be a lot of fun." Ash said and Pikachu agreed.
The group of trainers came to agreement and that's when they heard a Pokémon cry. "Banette bane!" Banette called. Sun looks to see his Banette frantically levitate to him embracing him in a hug and cried. "I think Banette wants to go with you." Demarco smiled. "It'll need its Ultra ball." Ellis said.
"Pokédex time!" Moon said cheerfully pulling hers out. "A doll that became a Pokémon over its grudge from being junked, it seeks the child that disowned it." The dex lady said.
"Creepy." Moon gulped. "I remember Sun having that one doll he stop playing with." Ace said seriously.
Sun accepted Banette to come along with them and the group head toward the start of their journey but which gym is still a tough decision.
