A/N:
Hello everyone and welcome to the brand new chapter of Aloha Alola. I hope you all enjoy this chapter, its a bit longer than the others but it's the first chapter of the new arc. You'll get to learn more about Jack during this arc as well as see something that I originally didn't plan for this story at all, which was inspired by the new movie. So I do hope you all look forward to this chapter.
I am going to have Jack catch some more pokemon during this arc, but his final team is pretty much set. I will start adding the Pokemon he's left with his mom at the list of teams so you all know that he still has them. Though I don't know how many pokemon he will catch, probably a few more. So if you have any pokemon you want Jack to catch, let me know and I'll definitely have him catch them. I'm always into having oc's use Pokemon I normally wouldn't use.
Anyway, I don't have much to say except this chapter is going to be more backstory heavy than Plot heavy, the plot of the arc will be revealed during this chapter and the next one will be Jack taking his trial on Mt. Hokulani. So I do hope you look forward to that. If you have any Pokemon you want Lillie to catch as well, let me know. She isn't exactly a Pokemon trainer at the moment, but I do want her to catch Pokemon for herself. She's a Fairy Trainer by the looks of it, since all of her pokemon are Fairy Types, but I decided to give her a diverse team this time around. See you all later!
Pokemon: Aloha Alola
Chapter 26
Alola Ula'ula Island!
Malie City was known as the capital city of Ula'ula Island. It was the largest city on the island, and had been founded by people that had come from the Johto Region. The architecture was a mixture of traditional wooden structures and steel architecture. The docks were paved with black asphalt, the outer edges of the pier were lined with tall bamboo plants. The harbor building was made out of bamboo, the ceiling being covered by blue shingles. Tourists and travelers were gathered around, waiting for the next Ferry out to the other islands. From where they stood, they could see the stone walls that separated the rest of the city from the Malie Garden. The tall, Johtonese style tower rose high into the sky, being far taller than some of the other buildings around Malie City. In the distance, the summit of Mt. Lanakila could be seen, topped with fresh white snow.
Hau was looking around the pier, a smile on his face. He was fully ready to start exploring Ula'ula Island. Cynthia seemed a little nervous. He didn't know why, but having spotted a stand selling magazines with the Sinnoh Region Champion on them might've been the cause. Jack lowered his camera, after snapping the first pictures of Malie City for his album. He smiled as he looked out into the distance, trying to stop the very top of Mt. Lanakila. He craned his neck a bit, groaning from the strain. Fay shook her head at the boy, remaining silent as she glanced around, spotting a few local Pokemon walking around, including an Oricorio she hadn't seen yet, this one being blazing orange, instead of the bright yellow, and soft pink she had already seen. She heard Hau behind her take a deep breath, probably trying to get himself to calm down.
"I can't believe we're on a new island. Ula'ula is the biggest island in Alola. Just look around you, this city is huge, way bigger than Heahea and Konikoni!" he exclaimed, earning a nod from Jack.
"Yes, it's probably just as big as Lumiose City, if not bigger. I'm quite impressed with the architecture as well. It's the perfect blend of Johtonese and Alolan, giving it it's very own uniqueness. The sidewalks are cobblestone as well. It's as if I'm in Ecruteak City." he said, a fond smile on his face.
"Hey, do you think there are Kimono Girls here? I've never seen an actual performance. My grandmother said it's a very beautiful thing to watch." Cynthia said, earning a shrug from the black haired boy.
"I'm not sure, there might be a Kimono Dance Studio somewhere around here. Malie City was founded by people of Johto right?" he asked. Hau gave him a nod, having opened the pamphlet he had been given when he arrived.
"It says here, Malie City was founded by both people of Alola and Johto. The original city was destroyed by a powerful typhoon, so the settlers came together, ignoring their differences, and worked hard to create a new city. The Malie Garden was dedicated to the families of the leaders who came to become best friends after Malie City had been founded." he said.
"Wow, that's really awesome. Two groups of people putting aside their differences in order to work together. I think that's a really beautiful message." Cynthia said, earning a sigh from Hau. He shook his head, walking past Jack, stopping just before the entrance to the city.
"Say, we're in a new city, and a new island! How about a quick battle? I wanna see just how strong you are after Akala! What do you say?"
"Sure, but only a quick one. My uncle is most likely getting bored waiting for us at the Garden. Not to mention Lillie is most likely already here, we wouldn't want her to get lost." he said.
"Great! We'll have a one on one then. You'll get to see my new Pokemon, go Crabrawler!" Hau cried, throwing a Nest Ball into the air. It snapped open, and from it came the Coconut Crab Pokemon. He smiled, remembering the Crabrawler that Hala had used against him, way back in his first trial.
"Well, if you're going to use a new Pokemon I might as well do the same. Alright Crystal, time for your first battle!" Jack replied, throwing his Luxury Ball into the air. It snapped open, the Icy Fox appearing on the field.
"Nine!" she cried, a small mist swirling around her body. Dark storm clouds swirled above them, sharp bits of hail falling all over the field. The nearby tourists and travelers turned to the two trainers, having gained an interest in their battle, mostly because of the hail.
"Ah...why is it hailing?" Hau cried, using his arms to block the small bits of ice from hitting his face. Jack reached into his pocket for his Pokedex, using it to scan Crystal's information.
"Ninetails (Alolan Variant) The Icy Fox Pokemon, and the evolved form of Vulpix. It creates drops of ice in its coat and showers them over enemies. Those who anger it, are left frozen stiff in an instant. If you become lost in the mountains, these pokemon will guide you back to the bottom."
"Well...it makes sense now." Cynthia said, not at all bothered by the hail. Jack looked around briefly, memorizing her moves as well as her ability.
"Wow, her Special Ability is Snow Warning, it creates an endless hail storm. This is going to be very useful...alright Hau, since you challenged me, I get the first move. Fair enough?"
"Go for it cousin! Even with that ability, we'll still defeat you!" Hau cried, his Crabrawler punched the air before him with its boxing glove shaped claws. It bore a menacing look on its face.
"Okay Crystal, we've got this. Start things off with Aurora Veil!"
"Nine!" Crystal cried. Her eyes glowed brightly, a veil of rainbow lights appeared below the clouds, showering over Crystal's body.
"Crabrawler, go for a Power-Up Punch! Sorry buddy, but Ice types are weak to fighting types. We're definitely gonna win!" Hau said, almost in a taunting manner as Crabrawler dashed forward. Its claw started glowing bright orange as it slammed it across Crystal's body, sending her sprawling back. She cried in pain, but easily shook off the attack.
"What? That should have done a lot of damage!"
"It normally would, but Aurora Veil raises the users attack and defense during a hail storm. In fact, it's an ice type move that can only be used in a hail storm. So while Aurora Veil is in effect, Crystal's weakness won't do much damage. Time to counter, Crystal use Ice Beam!"
"Niiinee!" the fox cried, firing a beam of ice at Crabrawler who crossed its claws before itself. Ice started appearing on it, freezing them solid.
"Oh no, Crabrawler! Quick use Power-Up Punch again, break away that ice!"
"Brawler!"
"Crystal, use Moonblast!" Jack said. Crystal planted her feet firmly on the ground, forming the swirling ball of pink energy in her mouth. With a shout, she sent it flying, striking Crabrawler dead on. It skid across the now icy ground, digging its claws onto the ground to stop itself.
"Are you okay buddy?" Hau asked.
"Crab!"
"Awesome, go in for a Crab Hammer! Do some real damage to it!"
"Crystal, go in for a Zen Headbutt!" Jack called out.
"Nine!" she replied, racing right at the Fighting crab. Her forehead started glowing a vibrant pink color as she ran. Crabrawler aimed its Crab Hammer at the fox, but ended up slipping on the nearby ice. Crystal slammed her forehead into the crab, sending it flying back into the ground. Crabrawler's legs twitched but it remained unmoving. Hau sighed, reaching for his Pokeball.
"Thanks for everything buddy, take a long rest." he said. He regained his smile as Jack pet Crystal, thanking her for a good battle. The others around them clapped for the two. The storm clouds started breaking apart, the hail finally disappearing.
"That was a good battle, that Ninetails is really strong. Must be from having evolved not long ago."
"Maybe, she has been fighting for awhile. I mean, she was put into a pen filled with fire types. I think she forced herself to learn Aurora Veil so the fire wouldn't do much damage, is that right?" Jack asked, earning a slight nod from the fox.
"Well, I have to admit...that battle felt a little one sided. Could you have gone a bit easier on him Jack?" Cynthia asked, causing the boy to rub his neck.
"Sorry Cindy, but when we battle we play to win. It was just a bad match up, I'm sure if we had a full battle it could have gone either way. Anyway, we should head to the Garden. My uncle must be tired of waiting by now." he said, returning Crystal to her Pokeball.
"Then come on! I gotta try those Pineapple Malasadas!"
"And I can finally try that Pina Colada swirl ice cream! Come on Hau, race ya there!" Cynthia cried, breaking into a sprint, heading into the city.
"Hey no fair! You had a headstart!" the olive haired boy replied, running after the blonde. Jack rolled his eyes, crossing his arms in annoyance.
"Do they even know where the Malie Garden is?" Fay asked, earning a shrug from her trainer.
"Don't know, but if they get lost in Malie City, then it's their fault. Come on, we should start heading to the garden ourselves." he said, stepping into the city.
Once inside the city, Jack realized just how much bigger it actually was. There were skyscrapers at the other side of town, most likely being office buildings. But the areas near the harbor were completely different. The trees were lush and green, high stalks of bamboo lined the paths. The main streets had traditional archways, resembling those in Konikoni City. He spotted a firehouse not that far from where he was, being across from the Pokemon Center. There were also advertisements for Sushi Hi-Roller, a chain of Sushi Bars that had originated in the Kalos Region. The main street lead toward Route 10, which lead up to the Hokulani Observatory. He had heard the place was a Planetarium, as well as an Observatory where scientists were researching space. Cynthia had mentioned wanting to see a laser light show that was offered there daily.
The south street would lead to Route 11, which would lead south to Hilo City, the second largest city in Ula'ula. He didn't know exactly where the first trial of Ula'ula would be, but he was sure heading to Route 11 would lead him somewhere important. There were also the Ruins of Abundance that Lillie had mentioned. He was sure the blonde girl would want to visit those ruins as soon as she could. So he made a mental note to research them a bit before heading to see them. If he could get a picture of Tapu Bulu while he was there, that would also be worth it.
"Hey Jack, what kind of trials do you think we'll face here?" Fay asked curiously. He shrugged, stopping at a nearby intersection.
"I'm not sure...we haven't done an Electric themed trial yet. I'm sure we might find someone who runs that trial. Then there's Steel, Ghost, Dark, Poison, Bug, Psychic, Ice and Fairy. There's still a lot of trials for us to go through, and since this is the biggest island, we might end up doing six or seven of these." he said.
"Nee, nee nee?" (Six or seven trials?) Star cried, her eyes widening in shock. Jack shook his head, a smile of amusement on his face.
"Sorry Star, but it is what it is. There aren't any trials on Poni Island, as far as I know. I heard the Fairy Trial Captain lives on Poni Island, so that might be our final trial. I heard the Kahuna of Poni Island used to do the Ground type Trial, but since he passed on, Grand Trials aren't held anymore. We might be closer to the end of our journey than we think." he said.
"It won't be so bad! After Alola, we'll be heading to Sinnoh right? We sort of promised Lillie we would travel together!" Fay said, causing Star to cry in agreement.
"Yeah yeah, we'll head to Sinnoh and maybe take on the gyms or something. We'll keep growing strong together!" he said happily.
"Jack! There you are!" a familiar voice called out, causing the boy to look around. He spotted Lillie standing across the street, waving at him. He waited for the crosswalk signal to go on before crossing the street. She gave him a smile, hugging him briefly.
"Whoa, I missed you too Lillie. How's Malie City treating you?"
"Um...I haven't been here that long. How was the Aether Paradise?" she asked curiously. The boy rubbed his neck, remembering what had happened a couple hours ago.
"It was...interesting."
"If you call a wormhole interesting then yeah, it was pretty sweet." Fay said, earning a look from Lillie. She shook her head, reaching into her bag for a second. She handed the boy the Eclipse Ball he had given her back on Akala Island.
"Melody was really rowdy today. She didn't even want her formula, so me and Snowy started giving her solid food. So far she's been eating berries and some PokeChow, but she barely drinks the formula anymore."
"That was expected. My aunt said she would eventually get bored of the formula and want new things. Thanks for taking care of her Lillie, I owe ya one." he said, giving her a smile. She flushed, looking away from the boy.
"It was nothing! I'm sure you would have taken care of my Pokemon if I asked you. Speaking of that, Professor Kukui is waiting for you at the Malie Garden. I was supposed to guide all of you there, however our other friends ran past me and headed in the direction of Route 10. I'm glad I caught you."
"Those idiots...I guess that's their fault. Come on then, let's head to the Garden." he said, allowing his friend to take the lead.
They headed up the street from where they were, heading in the direction of the Garden. From where he was, Jack could see the tower that peeked over the stone walls. Tourists could be seen all around, taking pictures of their surroundings. Jack started snapping pictures of the Pokemon he saw, seeing some species native to Alola, mingling with some others he had seen before. He saw two Cutiefly buzzing around one of the many hibiscus bushes planted around the city. He was even able to get a picture of a Ribombee, the evolved form of Cutiefly, which had belonged to a trainer. He glanced at the picture, a grin on his face.
"Look at the detail on the wings. You can see the soft pink colors mingling with the gold. And the soft fur growing on its body, it's just so adorable!" Jack said, showing Lillie the pictures of the Pokemon he had taken.
"I agree, one of the maids that tended to me when I was growing up had one. She was really kind, and would always play with me when I was by myself."
"You had a maid?" Fay asked curiously. The girl stiffened a bit, brushing a strand of hair over her ear.
"Um...yeah, for a time. My mom was always busy, so she hired a nursemaid to keep an eye on me." she replied. Jack and Fay shared a look, neither saying anything.
It wasn't long before they entered Malie Garden. Jack stopped in his tracks, taking in the sights for a few moments. The garden was big, covered in lush green grass. There were small patches of grass that were shaking a bit with wild Pokemon. A golden bridge connected the first half of the garden with the second area, where a large food stand had been built. There was a pond in the middle of the garden as well, he could see Araquanid, Dewpider and Sirskit flitting about on the water's surface. He walked over to a nearby map, looking at the picture of the garden, which showed what species of Pokemon lived there. There were mostly water types, and there were fishing holes where rarer Pokemon were hiding. Looking at it, the pond itself resembled a Pokemon, but he couldn't figure out which one it was.
"Trying to figure out what Pokemon it is?" Lillie asked, earning a nod from the boy.
"I'm stuck between two, Milotic and Primarina. It's the tail that gets me through." he said, earning a giggle from Lillie, who pointed to the top of the pond.
"It's a Primarina, look at how the pond is shaped. It looks like the snout, and this part back here looks like the hair."
"Huh...now that you mention it, you are right. I guess I haven't been paying too much attention to Artemis have I?" he asked.
"Between the traveling and the training, I think not. Maybe you should pay more attention to them. Then again, when you're face is hidden behind a camera, you never pay attention to your surroundings." Lillie said, walking away from the sign.
"Hey! I do too!" he said, following after her. She glanced back at him, giving the boy a smile. At that moment, Star snapped a picture, causing the girl to cringe from the flash. The Fruit Pokemon gave her a sheepish smile, quickly pressing the flash button on the device.
"Anyway, I'm willing to bet Uncle Kukui is over by the food bar...come on then, we've kept him waiting long enough." he said. Lillie nodded, taking the lead once more.
They remained silent as they walked, with Jack taking pictures of the Garden and the Pokemon that lived there. Once they crossed the golden bridge, Lillie lead them toward the food bar. It was more of a shack really, though it matched the rest of the buildings in Malie City. It was made entirely of wood, with bright paper lanterns in the shape of Chinchou that seemed oddly fitting. There was a Vanilish statue on one side of the building, while the other had a sign in the shape of a Malasada. There were several picnic tables set up outside, with parasols that were folded down. A few trainers were taking a break from exploring the garden, while others were chatting amicably about the places they had been too.
"Well...here we are." Lillie said, turning to face the black haired boy.
"Yes we are...where's my uncle? My aunt said he'd be waiting here for me. He didn't skip town did he?" Jack asked, crossing his arms.
"No...he's here...he told me to bring you here and then wait."
"Wait? For what?"
"I...can't say." the girl said, rubbing her arm as she looked away from the boy.
"Alright...I guess I'll just sit down then." Jack said, shrugging his backpack off. He placed it on the table, taking a seat at the edge of the bench. Lillie placed her hand on her bag, just as Nebby was trying to get out. A stern look caused the bag to stop shaking.
"Jack there's something I want to show you...but you need to close your eyes okay?"
"Close his eyes? Oh I get it, you wanna kiss him don't you?" Fay cried, causing the two teenagers to flush.
"Fay! That isn't it!" Lillie cried, clearly flustered.
"I'm just messing with you Lillie, no need to get so red in the face. You look like a Cherubi."
"Enough with the teasing Fay. Alright, alright...I'll close my eyes." the boy said, snapping his eyes closed.
He placed his hands over them for added measure. Fay and Star remained silent, not wanting to say anything, though to Fay it was rather obvious what was happening. From around the corner came Kukui, holding a birthday cake, topped with two lit candles in the shape of a one and a four. Along with him came Leilani and Burnet, holding some balloons, even Cynthia and Hau were present. Both holding boxes in their hands. Fay quickly understood what was happening, and prepared her camera, wanting to save the snap shot. Once Kukui had placed the cake on the table, he pulled out some poppers, pulling on the string.
"Surprise! Happy Birthday nephew!"
"Whoa, you guys planned a party?" the boy said, surprised by what was going on. Leilani smiled, pushing Lillie forward.
"It was Lillie's idea. She spoke to us when we were at the hotel, and planned this all by herself. She even got Cynthia and Hau in on it."
"That's right cousin! We ran off after the battle so we could meet up with the Professors and make sure everything was ready!" Hau said.
"No one should go without celebrating their birthday after all. Even I celebrated mine not that long ago, it's one of my fondest memories." Cynthia added, giving the boy a smile.
"Well I...thanks you guys. Especially you Lillie, it was nice of you to think about me. Especially now that you're going through so much."
"It's nothing, my mom didn't celebrate any of my birthdays. When you said it was just another day for you, it reminded me of myself. I wanted to do something special for you. So you can add it to your photo album." she said, glancing at her feet. Jack smiled, wrapping an arm around her waist. He held his camera up, his finger on the shutter button.
"Well then let's add another one to the album!" he said, snapping the photo. He turned the screen to them, smiling at Lillie's surprised expression.
"Well come on! Come on! Let's start this party already!" Hau said, causing Kukui to laugh.
"I agree with him, yeah! Why not let your Pokemon out for a breather? They must be cooped up inside those Pokeballs!" he said.
"Great idea Professor! I want you to see the ones I've caught on my trip through Akala!" Cynthia said, throwing her Pokeballs into the air. From them came out Gabite, Shellos, Eevee, Shuppet and Comfey. Professor Kukui grinned, picking up Eevee from the ground.
"I can't believe you got lucky and caught a Shiny Pokemon. And an Eevee no less, it's rare to see them out in the wild. You got a really special Pokemon Cynthia." he said.
"Well, not to be that guy but I hatched a Legendary Pokemon." Jack said, a smirk on his face.
"Way to ruin the mood."
"Hey, it's his party. He's just flexing a bit, nothing wrong with that." Hau said, bumping fists with his friend. Jack reached for his four Pokeballs, releasing his current team from within. Hau did the same, followed by Lillie.
"You guys have caught a large group of Pokemon...hey wait, when did you get a Ninetails?" Burnet said, confused at Jack's new Pokemon. He knelt down, petting the Icy Fox's snout.
"When we went to the Aether Paradise, I saw an Alolan Vulpix being attacked by some Growlithe. The Fire Ninetails was rejecting her, and letting them rough her up. So I jumped into the pen and ended up rescuing her. She ended up becoming scared and jumping in my bag, and I had an exposed Ice Stone in there and well...surprise Ninetails. Her name is Crystal, I'm keeping her on my team until I can take her to Mt. Lanakila." he said.
"Why's that?" Professor Kukui asked curiously.
"She wants to go home, she was separated from her mother during a storm. Aether Foundation found her and ended up taking her. Apparently, she's been taken all over Alola, until she ended up there." Cynthia explained, earning a nod from the man. He looked at the rest of Jack's team, his eyes falling on Melody, who was looking at the confetti from the poppers.
"So, that's the Legendary Meloetta. I gotta say, when Hibiki showed me pictures of her, and her eggshell I nearly had a conniption. Shame she couldn't be here, but she's currently on Wela Volcano taking her Fire Trial. She sent you a gift via Delibird by the way." Kukui said, handing the boy a small silver wrapped box.
"Maybe we should save the presents for last. For now let's just enjoy ourselves! You haven't blown out your candles yet!" Leilani reminded. The boy nodded, blowing out the candles.
"Well, I hope my wish comes true...maybe if I get lucky, Jirachi will grant it for me." the boy said, a look of wonder on his face.
"Sure, anything is possible." Burnet added.
"I'm gonna keep snapping pictures. This is all so cute, thanks for giving me the chance you guys. I have stuff I can use to embarrass Jack when he has kids." Fay said, earning a giggle from Leilani.
"You and I both Fay."
"Ugh...great, my mom and my Pokemon have conspired to make my life hell. How much are tickets to the Sinnoh region?" he asked, glancing at Cynthia who gave him a shrug.
"Sorry Jack, you aren't getting away from your ohana any time soon." Burnet said, giving him a wink.
"Ohana, you know I heard it before but I forget what it means. Will you tell me?" Cynthia asked curiously.
"Oh sure thing, it's an Alolan word, it means family." Hau explained, biting into the Malasada he had bought for himself.
"Ohana...I remember that was the first word I ever said growing up. My mom couldn't stop smiling when I said it." Lillie said, a frown on her face. Leilani placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up.
"Hey it's alright...I'm sure you're mom loves you very much. You'll see each other one day."
"I sure hope so."
"Ah...come on, let's not start with the water works! Let's just have fun!" Jack said happily. She gave him a nod, the smile returning to her face. Star took her chance, snapping a picture of the girl, thankfully without alerting her this time.

"I'm telling you cousin! Magmar's forehead looks like a butt but no one ever pays attention to me!" Hau said, earning a chuckle from Jack, who took the picture back from his friend.
"I never noticed that until you pointed it out. We're learning more about Pokemon by the day."
"Ugh...men, always talking about butts." Cynthia said, setting her soda cup down.
"Amen sister, if you think this is what it's like living with them, wait until you're married." Leilani said.
"Ha! Ain't that the truth, I don't go one day when I don't scream at Kukui about practicing moves indoor. I'm surprised he hasn't burned his house down." Burnet replied.
"Um, Professor Burnet, I have a question for you. I hope you don't mind me asking."
"Sure thing Lillie, what is it?" the white haired woman asked, setting her glass down.
"Why do you two not live together?"
"Huh? I've never told you?" Burnet asked, causing the girl to shake her head.
"Well it's simple, Kukui likes to help Hala with new trainers. It's also about our research topics. Since he studies Pokemon moves, he knows that it could become dangerous. He understands that my research is a bit more sensative and that I need peace and quiet to work. I've offered to build him a battlefield behind the Dimensional Research Lab, but he refused. He says Melemele Beach is the perfect place for him. We spend enough time together, so our marriage is rock solid."
"Kukui was always like that as a kid. He'd always spend his days surfing and playing with Pokemon. He ended up tying for Big Kahuna of the Beach with a surfing Pikachu. Though it was a surprise Thunderbolt that made him start researching moves. He said getting struck by that rogue attack got his adrenaline pumping." Leilani said.
"Sounds just like my uncle." Jack said, shoving some cake in his mouth.
"Don't embarrass me like that sis. It was you who wanted to become a Pokemon Coordinator. That's what lead you to leave Alola in the first place."
"Hey now, I left Alola because you wanted to take on the Kanto League. How'd that work for ya? You didn't even make it to the Top 32!" the woman countered, earning a glare from Kukui.
"You didn't make it past the Top 16 of the Kanto Grand Festival...so you don't have anything to say for yourself."
"I was pregnant, do you know how hard it is to keep focused when you have a baby inside you?"
"Whoa...mom what? You were a coordinator and went to the Grand Festival while you were pregnant? When was this?" Jack asked, being taken by surprise.
"Fourteen years ago, duh." Cynthia added, earning a glare from the boy.
"I was twenty-two and had met your father just outside of Cerulean City. Kukui was there to get his second badge, and I didn't want to wait for him. So we ended up having a Pokemon battle, that's when we just clicked. Sure, we were young and pretty stupid. I had to stop traveling by foot after that, so we had to take buses to each destination. I didn't make it to the Indigo League because I was in Ecruteak City with your father." Leilani said, earning a frown from the boy.
"So...you guys weren't married when you had me? I was unplanned?"
"Oh sweetheart don't take it like that! You know how much I love you, I gave up being a coordinator to raise you. Tatsumi wanted to continue his trip through Johto and managed to make it to the Silver Conference, but he wasn't giving it his all. His Charizard had died by then, and that's when he decided to quit being a trainer." she said.
"Don't even worry about that stuff nephew...just think this, you could have been born in the middle of a contest."
"Kukui!" Burnet snapped angrily. Jack started laughing, clutching his sides.
"Yeah, I could have. Maybe they would have slapped the contest ribbon on my butt instead of on mom's Pokemon!" he said, making everyone laugh.
"What happened to your Pokemon Miss Leila?"
"They're with Professor Oak in Pallet Town. I haven't spoken with him in awhile, I might actually contact him. I'd like to see how they're all doing. I'm sure my Gyarados misses me."
"Mom, you trained a Gyarados?" Jack asked, earning a laugh from Kukui.
"Yeah, your mom got swindled on Mt. Moon, there was this guy who was selling a rare Pokemon for 500 Poke. Said it was an undiscovered Pokemon, which had been caught in a golden Pokeball. As soon as she paid him, he said his goodbyes and left. Little sis opened the Pokeball and was greeted with a flopping Magikarp. On the plus side, it was a really rare Magikarp, the biggest I've ever seen."
"Shut up Kukui." Leilani snapped, muttering swears under her breath.
"Well, it's good to know mom and Uncle Kukui get along so well. If you ever get the chance, would you two battle? I'd like to see if you still got it."
"Sure Jacky, I'd do anything for you. In fact when you get a little strong, I'll take you on myself. Fair warning, I was pretty tough back in the day, whopped your father's butt so many times he still has burn marks on his back." she said, a grin on her face.
"Oh man, if Tatsumi were here now, he'd certainly be steaming mad. The old man may drive a hard bargain now, but he used to be an excellent battler. His Lapras was unbeatable, always put my Decidueye on the ropes." Kukui said. Jack frowned, thinking about his father for a moment. Lillie caught onto his frown, deciding to move the topic along.
"Maybe it's time for Jack to open his presents. It won't be long until the sun goes down, we'll need to head to the hotel soon." Lillie said.
"Good idea kiddo, I hadn't even noticed how late it was getting. How about you open Hibiki's first? She was rather insistent that you did." Kukui said, handing the boy the silver wrapped box. It was held close with a red ribbon which was tied into a neat bow. He pulled it lightly, pulling the top from the box. Within was a pair of silver bells, with pink ribbons tied to the top. His eyes widened a bit when he saw them.
"Oh wow, she got me a pair of Soothe Bells. These are said to sooth angry pokemon with a single toll. They must have been expensive." he said, reaching into the box. He shook one, the soft chime echoing through the area.
"You're right, it's so soothing!" Hau said happily.
"Lo Metta!" Melody cried happily, clapping her hands. He took the second bell from the box, carefully trying the ribbon around her neck into a bow.
"There you go, somehow I figured what the second bell was for. She must have figured Melody would want a musical instrument to play with. Soothe Bells are used to increase the bond between trainers and Pokemon, it's a rather useful item." he said.
"Oh me next!" Hau said, handing the boy his box. Jack chuckled, setting aside the Soothe Bell.
"Okay then, let's see what you got me cousin." he said, pulling the ribbon off the top of the box. He pulled the lid off and peered inside, eyes widening a bit.
"Dude, did you seriously get new memory cards? A Photo album too? And a care kit for my camera?"
"Of course! I know how much photography means to you, you got a real knack for it. I did see some of your stuff was a bit worn out while traveling round Akala, so I got you some new stuff. Not just that, I got you a little something else too." he said, handing the boy a Z-Crystal. Jack looked at it, noticing it was blue in color, it had two small diamond shapes at the top and bottom of it, resembling his Lycanium-Z. He held it up to the sky, seeing a dark etching on the inside, in the shape of a Primarina's face.
"What kind of Z-crystal is this?" he asked.
"It's called Primarium-Z. The starters of Alola all have their own Z-Crystals. My Tutu gave me three of them last year for my birthday, Incindium-Z, Decidium-Z and Primarium-Z. Since I don't have a Primarina on my team, I thought I'd let you have it."
"Wow, thanks Hau...this means a lot to me. How do you use it?" he asked curiously.
"Well, it works the same as Waterium-Z, but it turns Primarina's Sparkling Aria into a special move. It's called Oceanic Operetta. I've never seen it though, so it'll be a spectacle of which I'm sure you'll snap various pictures of." he said, almost jokingly.
"I'm pretty sure I will, keep an eye out just in case Fay...you too Star."
"Sir yes sir!" Fay cried, saluting her trainer.
"Well, I hope you find my present just as useful. Trust me, it took me awhile to track it down." Cynthia said, handing the boy what looked like a pen case. He opened it, finding a blue cylindrical object inside it. He pulled it from within the case, looking it over.
"Um...you got him a pen?" Lillie asked.
"No...press the button on the bottom. Oh and do it away from us." the blonde girl said. Jack nodded, holding the object away from everyone. He pressed the button, causing the pen to shoot upward, growing almost seven feet in length. Several small rings could be seen on the shaft of the device, confirming Jack's suspicions.
"Is this a Super Rod?"
"Mhmm! I figured you'd want to hunt for some rare Water type Pokemon around here. There are plenty of Pokemon you haven't taken a picture of, and unless you have an underwater camera it'll be hard. I was looking around a store in Konikoni City, and I ran into Lana there. She showed me the different rods on sale and I bought that one. It's small, reliable and can apparently handle the strong pull of a Gyarados. Here's the reel, and the lures." she said, handing him the remaining parts of the rod.
"Thanks for this Cindy, I really appreciate it. The first Pokemon I catch with it will be for you. I think that's a fair trade, these things are pretty expensive."
"Ah, you don't have too. I mean, whenever Pokemon trainers battle on the road, they get money automatically transferred to their accounts. Sure it put a dent in my reserve but I don't mind. You're my friend, and you've been incredibly sweet, especially with everything that's been happening to me. You saved my life, I owe you a lot more than a fishing rod though. I'll repay you one day, promise."
"Cynthia, you don't owe me anything. Being friends is enough in my book, thanks I'll definitely get some mileage out of this." he said, retracting the rod into its travel size.
"Well if we're going around the table, I suppose Lillie's gift is next. So what do you got for Jacky?" Leilani asked curiously.
"Um...do you think I could go after you. I'm still thinking about what to say." the girl said, a look of embarrassment on her face.
"Aw, are you gonna confess to him?"
"Fay!"
"What?" the gardevoir cried, a smirk on her face. Jack shook his head in disapproval.
"It's alright Lillie, take your time...so what did you get me mom? It's gonna be good, I can feel it!"
"Well, I got you this." the woman said, placing a black cap on the table. He grabbed a hold of it, looking it over closely.
"This is a lens cap."
"Yes, it's yours. You left it at home when you left two months ago."
"Mom! Really? Why couldn't you have given it to me in Ohana City? Or back in Heahea?"
"Well I was cleaning your room and I found it on the floor. Besides, that's not even your gift, this is." she said, pulling a bag from under the table. He reached into it, pulling out a bright green beanie, which had Pokeball design on the front of it.
"A new beanie? It looks pretty cool, never worn green though." he said, looking it over.
"That isn't it, there's more." Leilani said, looking a bit excited.
He rolled his eyes, pulling out the next article of clothing from inside the bag. It was a short sleeved white v-neck shirt, along with that was a matching black shirt, both having a bright green Pokeball motif. The next item he pulled out was a bright green, Gothic style vest. It was bright green in color, with red metal buttons. It also had two pockets at either side, which were lined with red stitching. He pulled out a pair of black jeans, along with a studded white belt, the last item in the bag being a pair of brand new shoes.
"Flashy clothes, I'm liking the green." Cynthia said, earning a nod from Hau.
"It makes you stand out a lot, that's for sure."
"Well, since his partner is a Gardevoir, I figured I could get him an outfit that matched her natural coloring. I got you some other stuff too, but you can keep those a secret." Leilani said, earning a flushed look from the boy.
"Sheesh, thanks a lot for that mom. Seriously though, I appreciate the new set of clothes. New island, new adventure, new clothes...they'll definitely come in handy during my travels here." he said.
"Honey, maybe we should give him our present next." Burnet said, earning a nod from Kukui.
"You're right...listen kiddo, I know you're excited for your trials here but...well I hate to say this. None of you will be able to take the trials of Ula'ula Island." Kukui said, earning confused looks from the teenagers.
"What do you mean by that Professor? We finished our trials in Akala, we should be able to take the trials here, right?" Hau asked.
"Yes you should, and you can...it's just...there was a landslide on the western part of Mt. Lanakila. They're building something up there, and they accidentally lost some equipment. The larger rocks ended up damaging some of the trails around Hilo City and Route 12." Kukui explained.
"Not only that, some areas of the Geothermal Power Plant were damaged, so everything east of Mt. Lanakila, around the Tapu Village currently has no power. It's gonna take about a month for work crews to clear the rocks from the path. They've already started removing stuff from the plant, so power should be restored within the week. However, it's been decided that trainers and tourists won't be able to travel south of Malie City." Burnet said.
"Wow...that totally sucks." Cynthia said.
"Tell me about it...I was so excited for our journey through Ula'ula. But you can't really predict this sort of stuff, life is unpredictable. Hey, it gives us time to train our Pokemon right? We can always go back to Akala and Melemele and get stronger for our upcoming trials!" Hau said, earning a nod from the Sinnoh Trainer.
"We can take a break from traveling too, and just relax, take in the sights. What do you say Jack? I'm sure you wanna take pictures of the cute bikini clad girls around here."
"Who do you think I am?" Jack asked, giving Cynthia an incredulous look.
"A man, of course!"
"Ugh...you are unbelievable. I wonder if our Cynthia was like this growing up." the boy mused, finishing the last of his Pinap Berry smoothie.
"She probably was, she may be from a different dimension but people usually act the same. Anyway, here's our gift to you sweetheart. I hope you like it." Burnet said, handing the boy a flat box. The boy quickly opened it, seeing what was inside.
"Plane tickets?"
"That's right, look at the destination." Kukui said, causing the boy to pick one of the tickets up. He read the destination, eyes widened a bit.
"Cerulean City? You got me tickets to the Kanto Region? Why exactly?"
"Well, me and Leila were talking not that long ago. She was talking about the Wind Festival in Fura City. You were talking about it on the way to Konikoni, I figured you'd want to go. As luck would have it, that rock slide prevented people from going south of Hilo. The Festival is in a few weeks. It gives you enough time to explore a bit of Kanto and Johto before heading to Fura Island." Kukui said.
"Not just that, we got tickets for all of you. The Wind Festival is something that has to be experienced as a group. The last time we all went was two years ago, remember sweetie?" Burnet asked, earning a nod from Jack.
"I remember...thanks a lot you guys, this is an awesome gift. Hey Cindy, I guess you're wish of heading to the Wind Festival is going to happen a lot sooner!" the boy said, handing her the ticket with her name on it. She screamed in excitement, hugging Burnet tightly.
"Thank you so much for this! You don't know how happy you've made me!"
"No problem, you deserve it. You've become best friends with my nephew, so it's my thanks to you." she said happily.
"Here you go Hau, there's one for you too Lillie." Jack said, passing out the last two tickets.
"Wow...the Kanto Region, and Johto? This is gonna be an awesome trip. I'm not even mad that we can't finish our trials!"
"Um...I'm not sure if I can go with you." Lillie said, causing the trainers to look at her.
"Huh...why not?" Cynthia asked.
"Yeah Lillie, it's a free trip. Don't tell me you're scared of flying."
"It isn't that Hau...it's just...I've never been out of Alola before. I dunno if I have what it takes to leave, I've been here all my life after all." she replied, a frown on her face.
"I know what you mean...when we left Saffron City and moved to Lumiose, it was pretty scary for me. I mean, I left everything I knew behind. I didn't have many friends, except Sabrina, but I felt all alone. It was a new region, new city, everything was different. But then I met Professor Sycamore, and he let me play with the starter Pokemon whenever I went to his lab. It was thanks to him that mom was able to get Fay for me. What I'm trying to say is, you won't be alone, we'll all be there with you." Jack said happily.
"I'll be there too, come on Lillie you can't turn this down. I'm the same as you, I'm literally another world away from home. I understand your fear, there isn't a single day I don't think about home. But whenever I feel like crying, I remember all of the fun things I've done with all of you. It keeps me moving forward." Cynthia said.
"I agree, this adventure has been pretty fun. Eventually, we'll all end up leaving Alola to pursue other adventures. We gotta go for it, I remember something my mom said to me before I left Iki Town. Whatever you do in life, will be insignificant. But you have to do it, because no one else will. Unless you beat the Pokemon League somewhere and get your name on the Hall of Fame, you'll just be another person in history. It's the circle of life after all. You gotta live life to the fullest!" Hau said cheerfully.
"Amen to that brother, Arceus almighty truer words could not have been said!" Jack said happily, clinking his soda cup to Hau's.
"Hau's absolutely right. So you best go into town and buy yourself some extra undies because we're going to Fura City. And if you try to skip on me I will tie you up and drag you with me, got it sister?" Cynthia threatened, causing the girl to shiver.
"Okay...I'll go."
"Excellent! It says here our plane takes off from Melemele Island tomorrow evening. So we'll have to leave Ula'ula pretty early." Jack said.
"That's gonna be a long trip, so you guys better get used to the jetlag. Says here our connection is going to be in Slateport City. We'll be able to explore a bit before heading to Cerulean." Jack said.
"Awesome, I've never been to Hoenn. They say there's a huge Bazaar in Slateport City, we might be able to get some really rare stuff while we're there. Even some berries that we can't find here in Alola...I'd totally love some Tamato Berries."
"Tamato Berries? Are you insane? Those are so spicy I can't even get near them or my face will swell." Kukui said.
"Pfft, that's nothing. I love spicy food, my grandma makes an awesome salsa with them. Just a single point will give you the spiciness you desire." Cynthia said, most likely imagining getting her hands on the sauce.
"Well kids we gotta start picking up. It's starting to get late, so we'll have to head to the Malie City hotel soon." Kukui said, standing up from his seat. Burnet followed suit, along with Leilani. Jack started gathering up his gifts, placing them all as neatly as he could inside his backpack, except his clothes which he placed back in the gift bag.
"Hopefully the stores nearby are open. If we're going to another region I want to get a new outfit for myself." Cynthia said, picking up all of the plates, tossing them in the nearby trash.
"We can go together if you want? I can help you pick out something cute, or maybe you'd like to get something more mature?" Burnet asked.
"Maybe...I don't want to look like the me here, people have been asking me a lot of questions recently. Perhaps it's because of my hair, but I really don't want to cut it."
"I'm sure we can find something to do with it. I know a store nearby that sells a lot of cute clothes." Leilani said, earning a nod from the blonde.
"How about you Hau, you getting some new duds?" Jack asked.
"Sure, Johto is supposed to be a bit chillier right? I'll probably need some jeans and some long sleeved shirts."
"It isn't that bad, unless you want to go to Mahogany Town. We'll be there for awhile, so we can detour if you want." Jack said, earning a nod from the boy.
It wasn't long before everyone had packed up. Jack returned all of his Pokemon to their Pokeballs, including a very sleepy looking Star, who just handed the boy her camera. Fay was still awake, giggling internally at Jack's assistant and how she had fallen asleep on the job. Her trainer was absolutely glowing, she could tell he was excited for the trip to Fura City. She'd be lying to herself if she said she herself wasn't excited. As they were walking back toward the hotel, Lillie had grown a bit nervous. Not only about the trip, but also because of her gift for Jack. She was nervous about it being inadequate. Considering the fact that he had gotten a lot of expensive things, she felt he wouldn't like it. She nervously tapped his shoulder, causing him to stop mid stride.
"Is something wrong Lillie?" he asked.
"Oh...um, I just wanted to give you your present. But, it's a bit embarrassing with our friends being around." she said. He nodded in understanding, turning to the others.
"Hey, we'll meet you at the hotel okay? Lillie's still a bit nervous about traveling so we're gonna take a bit of a walk." he said.
"Sure thing cousin, anything to keep her calm. Have fun!" Hau said, giving them a wave. Cynthia tilted her head in confusion, but he silently urged her to go. Fay pushed her along, giving her trainer a thumbs up.
"Come on, there's a clothes shop around here. How about I buy you an outfit for the trip?"
"What? No...I couldn't accept that! It's supposed to be me giving you a present, not the other way around." she exclaimed.
"Nope, consider it my thanks to you. For being my friend and giving me a hand with Melody. I'm not taking no for an answer." he said, grabbing a hold of her wrist, pulling her along. She sighed, deciding to just let him guide her toward the store.
It was that far from where they were, and thankfully it was empty as it was approaching its closing time. There were a lot of racks filled to the brim with Alolan style clothing. However, the deeper you walked into the store, the more traditional clothes you'd find. He found a section with clothes that came from the Kalos region. He hummed to himself as he started looking through the racks, not finding anything that caught his eye.
"What's your favorite color?" he asked, turning to the girl, who had been shyly looking around.
"White, it's a simple color...mother told me it brings out my eyes." she replied, earning a nod from the boy.
"Hmm, alright...that makes things easier. I'll find you something cute, I promise. My definition of cute might be different to yours though."
"It's fine, I'm sure you can find something good. Thanks by the way, I feel bad for making you waste money on me though...so really anything cheap will be fine."
"Oh Lillie, it's alright! You're my friend, so I have no issue with buying you something. Oh, I like this romper...navy blue with polka dots. This with a white jacket, maybe some black leggings and white boots...oh and a beanie, can't go wrong with one of those." he said, holding out the outfit. Lillie let out a giggle, imagining herself wearing his envisioned outfit.
"It doesn't sound so bad actually."
"Thanks, you're not the first woman to say I have a good fashion sense. Aha, maybe a white smock top over the romper...I like the sleeves on this one. Then if you get hot you can just take it off...then again you can't go wrong with a light jacket...you know what, I'm getting them both. You look like a medium right?" the boy said.
"I am."
"Oh good, that makes this easier...size four waist, this satin skirt will do...then again shorts are comfortable and easy to wear. Whelp, I'll get those too. White or black?"
"Huh? Black."
"Awesome, let's find some leggings." Jack said, walking toward the pants section of the store. He looked around for a few moments, spotting some leggings for sale.
"Jack, I think you're going a bit overboard with this." Lillie said, watching the boy look through the leggings, until he found a pair of black ones.
"Not really...I haven't bought clothes for anyone since...well for awhile now." the boy said, becoming a bit sad.
"Is something the matter?" Lillie asked curiously. He bowed his head a bit, a frown on his face.
"The Saffron City gym leader wasn't my only friend growing up. I have another friend...her name is Elizabeth. I called her Bethy for short, she always hated that though."
"Did you leave her behind when you went to Kalos?"
"Yup...she used to live in Cerulean City, but as luck would have it, she ended up moving to Saffron too. We would always play together with Sabrina, who was more of an older sister than anything. When I moved away she was really sad, I remember asking my mom to help me buy her a gift. It was a set of clothes so she'd always remember me. I saw her more recently, in Fura City. That's where she lives now." he said.
"Really? You must be excited then! Seeing someone you haven't seen in so long." Lillie said, earning a sigh from the boy.
"Yeah...I want to see her but...well...she's sick. She can't have many visitors...and the sickness she has prevents her from traveling. She wanted to travel so badly too...she has a pretty voice. She wanted to travel around the world and share her voice with everyone. She's been singing since she was five, back in Summerville City in the LaGuardia Region. She was happy the last time I saw her, because she was getting better. But before we came to Alola, her mother told my mom that she had gotten sick again."
"I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure she's better now...um what sickness is it?" Lillie asked.
"It's a rare type of bone Cancer. I forget which one...usually you'd be able to get a marrow transplant from a matching donor. They tried it three times and it's come back. I'm scared that if I go see her, she might be gone. But I know Bethy wouldn't give into a sickness like that. We made a promise during the last Wind Festival...that we would travel the world together and become strong Pokemon trainers. She also gave me this camera, so that I could take pictures of the world and take them back to her. She was so happy when she met Fay, she wanted to go outside, but her doctors didn't let her." he said, wiping the tear from the corner of his eye. Lillie wrapped her arms around the boy, giving him a tight hug.
"I'm sure she'll be fine. Who knows? Maybe if we go there she might even be completely healed. Then you can show her all of your picture albums, and your Pokemon."
"You're right! I've been having so much fun on this journey, whenever I take a new picture, I can't help but picture her smile. She's never let me take a picture of her though. Due to the medicine she takes, she's lost her hair a lot of times. She's grown used to it, but she says she wants to have hair so I can take her picture. You two will get along, I'm sure of it! Now then, let's go find you some boots..there are areas of Johto that are rocky so it's never bad to have them." he said, leading the blonde toward the footwear section, snagging a white beanie as he walked. Lillie took a deep breath, reaching into her bag for her gift.
"Um Jack, here's my gift. I didn't wrap it or anything, I thought it wouldn't make a difference."
"Huh? Oh don't even worry about it. I'm sure my mom would have saved the paper or something." he said. She took a hold of his wrist, wrapping something around it. When she was done, Jack was finally able to get a good look at it.
It was a bracelet, which was completely hand made. It had various colors in it, forming small diamond shapes, which looked like Z-crystals, each bearing a different element in it. Though it was only Fire, Grass and Water. Attached to the bottom of it was a small golden charm, in the shape of the Island Challenge charm that all Island Challengers were given. It had small gems of different colors, matching the same ones that made up the charm. It also had a small charm in the shape of Tapu Koko attached to it, reminding him of where he had first met Lillie. The boy looked up from it, seeing the blush on her face.
"Do you like it? I made it myself, aside from the charms. I had to use some of my savings for them."
"Lillie, this is amazing...you made this?"
"Y-yeah...I had some stuff laying around. It was a bit tough getting all of the colors right, especially for the Z-crystals. I was planning on giving it to you as a token of appreciation. But when I heard about your birthday, I decided to wait. I...hope you like it." she said shyly.
"I love it Lillie, it means a lot to me that you'd make something like this. Honestly, I think this is the best gift I could have ever been given." he said. He leaned forward, pressing his lips against her cheek much to her surprise. He pulled away, giving her a smile.
"Now, how about those boots? Mind telling me your foot size?"
"S-six and a half." she stuttered, earning a nod from the boy. If Fay had been present, she would have likely remarked about her face being redder than a horde of Cherubi.
