Part 1B - Kalos and Alola
Chapter 5 - Alola
Eevee woke up groggily. He immediately felt for his neckless.
"Looking for this impersonator?"
The Pokémon that had approached him was standing in the doorway of a mud hut. Holding his Evolution stone.
"That belongs to me." Eevee said
The Pokémon scrunched her face. She tossed him the object. She had a pink nose, a white muzzle, and a blue seal-like body.
"What is it anyway?"
Eevee put it back on.
"When I took it off of you, you de-evolved." She said
Eevee hesitated.
"It's a gift from the Legendary Pokémon Groudon and Rayquaza."
The Pokémon couldn't believe it.
"It allows me to Evolve temporarily, De-Evolve, and switch between Evolutions." Eevee said
"Amazing."
"Sorry for my apparent rudeness. I'm Eevee from the Kanto Region."
"I'm Popplio from the Alola Region."
"Kyogre will meet you near the large outcrop on the Western edge of the main island. He has connections that will help you get to Alola." Groudon had said
"Seek out Tapu Koko the island Guardian of Mele Mele island. He will gather aid for our cause." Rayquaza said
Eevee snapped back to the present.
"Is this Mele Mele island?" He asked
"No, this is Poni island. Tapu Fini ordered me to bring you here." Popplio said
"Why?"
"In order for you to meet with the Tapu you must win the island challenge of that Tapu." She said "And the champions are very tough opponents."
Chapter 6 - Challenger
A large Hariyama called for silence from the amassing group of Pokémon. Eevee and three others stood on a large flat stone partially submerged in the sea water. The Pokémon that stood around Eevee presumably the Champions were familiar Pokémon. Popplio stood resolute, a Blastoise tapped it's foot impatiently, and a Frogadeer stretched his legs wordlessly.
"We are here to witness an extraordinary Grand Trial." The Hariyama announced "The Challenger Eevee from the Kanto Region will face one of the three Champions of Poni Island."
The spectating Pokémon cheered their approval.
"Challenger whom do you wish to face?"
Eevee waited a moment. He made a quick show of thinking about it.
"All of them." He declared
The crowd roared in approval at his request. Hariyama smirked.
"Now that's a Challenger." He whispered
"Wait can he do that?" Blastoise said
"It's his challenge." Popplio said
The Frogadeer nodded in Eevee's direction.
"The Challenger wants to battle all Champions at once?" Hariyama said loudly "Then let the Challenge begin."
The Champions formed a triangle around Eevee, rotating it every so often.
'Frogadeer is fast so I need to slow him down.' Eevee thought 'Blastoise is slow and strong so can't let him land a hit or I'm done. I have no clue about Popplio, she'll be a problem.'
As Eevee expected Blastoise attacked first. He attempted a quick Hydro Canon. The huge bolts of water slammed into the water where Eevee was previously. He flipped through the air and in a flash of bright light and he Evolved into a Jolteon and fired a Thunderbolt at the huge turtle Pokémon midair. As Blastoise groaned in pain and paralysis, Jolteon felt a harsh Aerial Ace slam into his side. As he fell he switched evolutions. He launched his tentacles like feelers at Frogadeer. The Frog Pokémon was soon entangled and slammed into the ground by Sylveon.
"Clever." The Pokémon said
Sylveon used Swift and nailed Frogadeer.
"I yield." He pronounced
Sylveon released him and turned towards the remaining two.
"I know you could have beaten him." Hariyama whispered
"I see great potential in him. Does he not deserve the chance I was given?" Frogadeer said
Hariyama nodded and returned his attention to the battle. Blastoise was free of the paralysis and firing off rage filled Hydro canons by the hundreds. Sylveon decided to do something dumb. He switched evolutions and sprayed Ember at Blastoise as a Flareon. Seeing the disadvantage of his opponent's type Blastoise engaged in a Hydro Pump. Flareon dodged and switched again. Eevee pelted the confused Blastoise with Swift.
"Yield! You have fought honorably." Eevee yelled
Blastoise couldn't take that much more. He had exhausted himself and was now paying for it.
"I ... yield." He gasped
Eevee stopped and Blastoise dragged itself away.
"I'm impressed, he goaded you." Hariyama said
"Shut up." Blastoise mumbled
"He thinks too little during battle." Frogadeer said
The sun was almost set as the battle continued. The sun touching the horizon.
"Not bad." Popplio said "Try this."
Popplio began a hoola type motion with her flippers. A strange blue angular gem on a leather cord began to glow around her neck. The water around Eevee was churning.
'Can't do water, ice is certain to kill me, fire will take extra damage, I could..." Eevee interrupted his own thought
A huge twister of water was swirling about him. In a flash of light he Evolved. A strange, almost primal sound erupted from his mouth as he fought the vortex of water.
The crowd was astonished at what happened. They could see an almost pitch black sphere inside the water.
It was incredibly silent for a moment.
Then the vortex exploded.
Chapter 7 - Warrior King
Time seem to pass slower than ever. The three Pokémon walked through the forest silently. In awe of its strange beauty.
"This is amazing." Raichu said
"Beautiful." Grovyle said
"Thank you."
The trio came to a huge tree with towering limbs and seas of green leafs. Surrounding the tree were masses of Pokémon. Raichu saw Purrloin, Liepard, Poochyena, Mightyena, Eletrike, Manetric, Houndour, and Houndoom. There were several Leafeon stood in the branches of the tree. The midday form Lycanroc stopped at the foot of the tree. The surrounding Pokémon knelt and bowed in respect.
Lycanroc nodded for them to stand.
"My friends, my people." He began "It has been almost a millennia since our people were called to arms. And an utmost important and horrifying event has occurred."
Several Pokémon growled and others remained silent.
"The Hoenn region has been overrun by renegades. And now the beloved Legendary trio of Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza ask for our help."
Lycanroc paused and looked about the group.
"The time has come! In the morning, we march for Hoenn! And to Victory!"
The Pokémon cheered and roared in approval.
"Thank you Lycanroc." Raichu said
"We have waited millennia for this, it will be our pleasure."
Raichu smiled approvingly.
Chapter 8 - Warrior of Change
The partially sunk flat rock was deeper in the water and now was tilted at an awkward angle. Popplio was bent over from harsh exertion. The energy required to perform a Z move was unbelievable. The challenger stood looking unharmed by the attack.
"By the great Tapu Fini how are you unscathed?" Popplio said panting
"It just so happens to be dusk. And by night I'm stronger." Umbreon proclaimed "However, there is a major aching in my side so I'll wrap this up."
Umbreon fired a Dark Pulse and Popplio rolled out of the way.
"I doubt you can last much longer. So we can end this now." Umbreon said
They locked eyes. And they move closer.
"I yield." Popplio said
Umbreon bowed to Popplio. Popplio wobbled and Umbreon steadied her.
"You okay?" He asked
"I could use some rest." She said smiling
Umbreon laughed.
"We have a winner!" Hariyama declared "The winner is Eevee the Challenger!"
Umbreon de-evolved and helped Popplio away.
"The healer is over there." Hariyama said
"Thanks" Eevee said
After being healed Eevee, Popplio, Blastoise, and Frogadeer were accompanied by Hariyama to see Tapu Fini.
The blue-ish purple totem Pokémon was waiting for them.
"Challenger I have been waiting for you." Tapu Fini said "I watched your battle from a distance and still felt the energy that you emanated."
"Thank you." Eevee said
"Popplio your Hydro Vortex was brilliant."
"Than..." Popplio began
"But you mustn't over exert yourself. You are a valiant and powerful warrior and a Z move will not end every battle."
"Yes Tapu Fini." Popplio said
Tapu Fini offered something to her. It was a white conch shell fasten to a dried seaweed cord. Popplio bowed and the Tapu passed it over her head. The cord rested on her left shoulder and the shell rested at her right side.
"When the time comes you may blow this horn and a great army will charge to your aid." Tapu Fini said "Blastoise you fought well, but lost to your anger."
"It will not happen again. I promise."
Blastoise said kneeling
"Frogadeer, in all your time you searched for a worthy pupil. Have you found one?"
"With your permission, I wish to take Eevee as my student."
Tapu Fini placed a hand on Frogadeer's shoulder.
"I would be my honor if you taught Eevee. However it is his choice."
Frogadeer turned to Eevee.
"Eevee," He began "As we fought I saw in your eyes what I have. A determination to get stronger, and a grit that rivals that of Tapu Koko himself. If it is your desire, would you be my pupil?"
"It would be my honor Frogadeer, however we have to wait."
Eevee turned toward Tapu Fini.
"Tapu Fini, the region of Hoenn has been overrun by invading Pokémon. We need any help you can offer." Eevee said
"We can't spare many here. Ultra Beasts are more dangerous than ever." Tapu Fini said "I can spare two of Poni Island's beloved Champions. And that's about it."
Eevee nodded.
"Rayquaza said to seek out Tapu Koko of Mele Mele Island." He said "I may need help finding the way."
"I can take you there." Popplio said
"If I am to be your teacher I should support you in whatever you do. I will follow you." Frogadeer said
"Thank you." Eevee said
"The last I can say is if you find any Ultra Beasts. Do Not Engage Alone." Tapu Fini said
"I promise." Eevee said
