Hey yo! Guess who's back with another chapter of
POKÉMON: ASH AND SERENA SAY ALOLA TO ALOLA!
Okay, that was gratuitous, but I'm here with another chapter! So here ya go!
"Kahuna Hala!" Professor Kukui called out, with Ash, Pikachu, and Serena in tow.
"Professor!" A voice shouted from behind. And as everyone turned around to meet the provider of that voice, they saw a tanned boy, about Ash's age, with his hair tied back, in a black shirt, orange shorts, a yellow backpack, and a white bracelet, seemingly made of stone: a Z-ring.
"Hau?" Kukui asled, puzzled, but not by why he was here.
"Hold up... One moment... I just... Got back from... Hau'oli City..." Hau panted.
"What were you doing there?" Kukui asked.
"Looking for you guys... I got there at 9:00 am... As planned..." Hau said, still struggling to catch his breath.
"We left at 8:45, I said meet us HERE at 9."
"Oh. So, you're Ash Ketchum?" Hau said, finally breathing normally.
"That's me, uh... How did you know that?" Ash asked.
"Nobody forgot that Greninja, and also, you placed second, fought the Champion of Kalos, and here is some useless trivia: he saved the world in the summer of 1998, at the side of the legendary Lugia!"
"I'm overwhelmed, uh..." Ash said.
"That was you?!" Serena said, almost panicking, then swaying almost to faint.
"Calm down, Serena, don't swoon!"
"I'm not swooning!" Serena said again, snapping out of her swaying.
"Then what's wrong?" Ash asked, full attention on Serena.
"I- I- I uh-" Serena said, suddenly overwhelmed by Ash's attention all on her.
"Wait, are you two-" Hau asked, as he was cut off.
"No!" Ash and Serena said in unison.
"Okaaay. Uh, let's go?" Hau said, turning away from Ash and Serena.
"Let's do that." Kukui said as he grabbed Hau's collar on his shirt. "What the hell are you trying to do? Start World War III?" Kukui whispered.
"Are you okay?" Ash asked as Serena grabbed Ash into a hug, almost as if she was afraid to lose him.
"They look too close to not be dating." Hau whispered.
"They are madly in love with each other, but they don't know it yet."
"And they haven't fallen for each other?" Hau asked, almost giving away the conversation, but luckily for them, Ash and Serena didn't care what they had to say about them.
"They're complicated. Just don't fan the flames, or it will burn them alive."
"For having just met them, you seem to know them well!"
"I know their type. He's determined and good-hearted, and she is supportive and loyal. There's something there that you can't place. I know you like to play matchmaker, but for the sake of these two, don't."
"Okay. You got it."
"Now, where's your grandfather?" Kukui asked, returning to a normal tone after the "Now".
"At the Ruins Of Conflict. He said it was urgent."
"Then let's go!" Kukui said, Ash, Hau and Serena in tow.
Ruins Of Conflict, Melemele Island
"Who are you?" Lillie Lynch said, backing away in fear from seven people, four men, and three women, each in a color on the Rainbow.
"Doesn't matter. We need the key!" The man in the silver shirt said.
"The key! The key? What key?" Lillie started in panic, which became confusion.
"You! Let the girl go!" A loud, deep voice boomed like thunder.
"What's it to you old man?" The man in the red shirt asked.
"Let the girl go and leave immediately, or I will beat you into submission." The old man boomed again.
"You can't take all seven of us, old fart!" The man in the green shirt said.
"Grandpa Hala!" Hau shouted from behind to the old man, who was his grandfather, Hala Anu: an old, but strong man, in his unbuttoned tropical shirt, khaki shorts, and a white shirt, all under a black belt.
"Hau!" Hala shouted, worrying over his grandson.
"Who are these people?" Hau asked.
"I don't know, but they were harassing this little girl!" Hala said.
"Lillie!" Serena cried out, recognizing the little girl who saved her in Hau'oli City.
"Serena!" Lillie cried out, remembering the Kalos Queen to be.
"Who do you guys think you are?" Ash shouted.
"I'll tell you what we aren't! A Kalos League Reject!" The man in blue shouted.
"Charizard, Pidgeot, come on out!" Ash shouted as the Nanodex released Charizard and Pidgeot from their virtual rooms.
"Looks like the Kalos reject has a Charizard! Where was he in Kalos?" The woman in purple asked
"Charizard, Flamethrower! Pidgeot, Hurricane!"
"Dude, he just burned all our Pokémon!" The young woman in black shouted.
"Let's get outta here!" The man in red shoited.
"You bet!" The man in blue agreed.
"We'll get the key someday!" The man in silver shouted.
"Key? What key?" Asked.
"Pew?" a blue and black cloud came out from behind a statue of Tapu Koko.
"That is the key." Hala said.
"What is it?" Serena asked.
"A Pokémon, but what is its name?" Lillie said.
"Nanodex, activate!" Ash said as a disc flew off of the Nanodex and went to scan the Cloud Pokémon.
"Scanning..."
"What is that?" Hau asked, referring to the Nanodex.
"Cosmog, The Gas Cloud Pokémon. Whether or not it's a Pokémon from this world is a mystery. When it's in a jam, it warps away to a safe place to hide." The Nanodex said.
"So you're Cosmog..." Ash said to himself.
"Pew!" Cosmog said.
"It looks like a nebula... It can't be from here." Serena said.
"I'm gonna call you Nebby!" Lillie said as she ran out to hug the Gas Cloud Pokémon.
"Lillie, uh, you shouldn't get so attached to it so fast..." Kukui said.
"But if it is the key that those creeps want, we have to protect it!" Lillie rationalized.
"Lillie has a point. After all, leaving Neb- I mean Cosmog alone like this is the worst thing we could do right now." Hala said.
"So who is going to watch Nebby?" Lillie asked.
"I will." Hala said.
"Kahuna!" Kukui said in disbelief.
"Grandpa!" Hau said with a hint of worry.
"I will hear none of it! Cosmog will stay with me until we figure out its purpose, and what those people wanted with it." Hala boomed.
"But what if they return to seek Cosmog?" Hau asked.
"I will fight them off. As Kahuna of Melemele Island, it is my sworn duty!" Hala declared.
"But Kahuna, what about Ash?" Kukui asked.
"What about him?" Hala asked as Kukui and Hala moved closer together.
"He and his friends, Serena and Pikachu have come from the Kanto region to take part in our trials!" Kukui said with astonishment, quiet enough for no one else to hear.
"Another Kanto native? He's the first since Sun!" Hala said in the same volume.
"I know! So I say what if he is the one in the prophecy?" Kukui asked.
"The Prophecy..." Hala said, pondering the possibility of Ash being the one in this foretold prophecy. "We'll discuss that later." Hala said, breaking the suspense. "Ash, right?"
"Right!" Ash said.
"It is time to determine your worthiness to take part in the Tapu Trials!" Hala announced.
"Alright!" Ash said as he jumped in the air with his fist in the air.
"Now, the test is simple. If one of these three Pokémon, more famously known as the Starters Of Alola, steps forward and chooses to travel with you, you are encouraged to take part. And if not, well... when we get there. It has never happened before though."
And the suspense started as the Starters Of Alola stared intently at Ash, or so they thought. The blue seal, and the green bird both leapt forward...
Cliffhanger! Sorry guys! But this is why we favorite right? Speaking of that, favorite if ya like, please do review, and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES, MAAAAN!
