Hey everyone! Here is the next chapter!
Before you can read the newest chapter. I'm not going to include Lei's trials, this story is called The Alola 4 for a reason, and during her trials it will focus on the other characters like Hau and Lillie. It will be in a couple chapters, so pretty soon!
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon just my character Lei
Hau and Rhythm
Lillie and Lei were running back to Iki Town. "Come on!" Lillie yelled running back quickly to the entrance of the town. Lei followed behind, tired from the whole experience from earlier. The two finally made it back to Iki Town, where Lei saw Lillie standing next to Professor Kukui.
"Hey Lei!" Professor Kukui said waving to her. "You just missed the kahuna."
Lei sighed. "Sorry Professor I was just helping out-" Professor Kukui cut her off.
"My assistant." He said. He put a hand on Lillie's shoulder. "Lillie."
Lei looked at Lillie, who was now giving a smile. "You're the professor's assistant?" Lei asked.
Lillie nodded. "Yep." She said. Lei smiled.
"And Lillie this here is-" Now it was Lillie turn to cut Professor Kukui off.
"Lei. I know we introduced ourselves earlier." Lillie explained. The two girls then turned around hearing a commotion, and seeing a large man with a beard.
"It's the kauna." A person said.
"Hala!" Another person said.
The kauna, Hala came to Kukui and the girls, facing Lei. "Lillie." He started. Lillie faced him. "I saw Tapu Koko flying just a second ago, and I came here. Did something happen?" He asked.
'Tapu Koko?' Lei thought to herself. 'Was that the pokemon who saved me and Nebby?' She then heard Lillie explained everything that happened earlier on the bridge with Lei.
"Wow!" Professor Kukui said. He then looked at Lei, put his hands to his hips. "You never have seen an island deity have you?" He asked.
Lei shook her head. "I've seen legendaries, but not an island deity." She said.
"Agreed." Hala replied. "Tapu Koko is a fickle kind of pokemon, even though it protects us. Tapu Koko must of felt moved by you, so he can rescue you." Lei smiled hearing those words from Hala himself. "I think we should celebrate! By giving this young girl a pokemon." He cheered. Lei smiled. "So what's your name?" He asked.
"My name is Lei. Its really nice to meet you." Lei said introducing herself.
"Lei. My name is Hala, the kauna of Melemele Island." Hala said introducing himself. "I'm glad to meet you."
"Glad to meet you too." Lei said.
Hala smiled, and took out three pokeballs each showing a different starter.
The first starter looked like a grass-type. It was a light brown owl with a white face around its eyes and a green leaf shaped bow tie. "This is the grass Pokemon, Rowlet." Hala said.
The second one looked like a fire-type. It was a black cat with red markings around its body. "Then the fire-type Pokemon, Litten." Litten mewled hearing its name.
And the last one looked like a water-type. It was a blue seal with a light blue collar. "And the last one, Popplio, the water-type pokemon." Popplio did a flip, and a bow afterwards.
Lei smiled seeing how cute the starters are. "They are so adorable!" She cheered. She looked at popplio, "especially you." Popplio blushed and smiled going back to the other starters.
"So." Hala started. "Which of these lovely starters would you choose?" He asked.
Lei looked hard and saw though each starter. She looked hoping to see which one would be the perfect one on her team. "Hala, I pick." She stopped, and smiled finding the perfect starter, "Popplio."
The popplio barked and did some flips, excited to be picked by Lei. Hala looked at Popplio and back at Lei. "I think that's a fine choice, but let's see how popplio feels about you." He said. He took popplio and placed it in front of Lei near the stage. People were now coming to see what was going on.
Lei didn't mind, and kept her eyes on the cute little water-type pokemon. Popplio did the same smiling at Lei, with the later doing the same. "Come on, popplio." Lei whispered. Popplio stayed quiet, but kept its cute little smile. It slowly walked to Lei, but stopped feeling down, to him, that's right him, he got scared Lei would pick another starter. "Hey, come on." She whispered. Popplio slowly came forward, and Lei picked him up, and hugged him. "I'll always care for you." Popplio smiled getting comfortable with the hug.
Kukui, Lillie, and Hala smiled seeing Popplio finally getting his trainer.
"Well congrats, Lei!" Kukui said. "Popplio finally choose someone to be a trainer." He said.
"Yep!" Lei replied. "And for a name," She whispered. She looked at popplio, and smiled for the right name. "How do you feel about the name, Rhythm?" She asked. Popplio barked liking the name.
"So, Rhythm, its nice to meet you." Lillie said.
'Pew!' Nebby cheered coming out of the bag. Lillie looked at him and sighed. "Nebby!" She yelled. Nebby tilted its head at its friend. "I know kauna Hala and Professor Kukui met you too, but what if the town sees you?" She asked.
"I agree with Lillie, you chose a wonderful pokemon." Professor Kukui said. "Here is a gift for you." He then handed a red device, which was her Pokedex.
"Wow! So this my pokedex?" She asked. Professor Kukui nodded.
"Now Lei before you take the next step in your journey." Professor Kukui started. "You may need to see your mother."
Lei nodded. She then took off home, with Rhythm right behind her.
"Hey." A voice said. "Lei?" Lei looked around and saw right in front of her a young boy with dark skin and dark green hair wearing a dark colored shirt, yellow-orange shorts, orange sandals, with an orange backpack. "Hey remember me?" He asked
Lei smiled seeing the boy and ran to him. She took one good look at him and smiled. "Hau?" She asked.
Hau chuckled. "Long time no see buddy!" He said rubbing the back of his head.
Lei chuckled as well. "Yeah, it's been like 5, 10 years since we last seen each other." She replied, the two shared a good laugh, till Lillie came confused.
"Um, Lei." She started. "Who is this?"
Lei smiled. "Lillie, this is my old friend, Hau. His mother and my mother were friends once, and there were times he visited me." Lei explained.
"And. He's my grandson." Hala said coming next to the young boy.
Lillie was surprised seeing Hala's grandson, and smiled. "Well. Hi. Hau. I'm Lillie, Professor Kukui's assistant." She felt nervous, but saw Hau smiling back at her, making her smile back.
"Nice to meet ya!" Hau replied back. Hau looked at Lei. "Hey Lei! Did you get your pokemon yet?" Lei nodded. "Then let's have a battle!" He cheered.
"Uh okay." Lei said nervously.
"Um." Lillie started. "I'll just watch." Lillie went far away so she won't get hurt.
"Awesome!" Hau cheered. "Litten you and I are going to battle!" Hau threw his pokeball and out came one of the starter pokemon Lei saw earlier.
"Okay! Rhythm, its up to you!" Lei yelled throwing her pokeball and out came her popplio.
"Alright then!" Hala yelled. "Let the battle begin!"
"Alright! Litten use Ember!" Hau commanded. His litten shot a few flares of fire from its mouth hitting Rhythm, but with the later being a water-type it didn't do too much.
"Okay, Rhythm! Use Water Gun!" Lei commanded. Rhythm shot a large amount of water, and Litten was knocked out.
Hau was surprised, but smiled and cheered. "Wow! Lei you were awesome!" He cheered.
Lei picked up Rhythm and smiled. "Thanks Hau." She replied. Hala then looked into Lei's bag seeing the sparkling stone she got earlier from Tapu Koko.
"Lei," Lei looked up at Hala. "May I see that stone in your bag?" He asked. Lei nodded, and took it out.
"This one." She said handing the stone to him.
"Yes." Hala replied. He looked at the stone for a second, and back at Lei. "I heard from Lillie that Tapu Koko saved you from the bridge, was that right?"
Lei nodded. "Yes." She felt like she wanted to explain more, but she looked Lillie holding her bag tight, with Nebby popping out smiling, and going back in.
"I'm going to borrow this stone for now, I'll give it back to you I promise." Hala said.
Lei nodded again. "Okay." She replied.
"I'll give back to you tomorrow, during our celebration." Hala said.
"Alright. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Lei said and walked off home.
Hala smiled at the girl as she went off home. Hau looked at his grandfather, confused why. "Tutu? What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing." Hala replied. "I think your friend Lei is here for a reason."
