The gang enjoyed the sights of Route 1 after leaving Pallet Town walking together as Amber was holding Ash's hands. Sora was walking beside Kairi with Eve resting on her head. The four of them walked on until they spotted a bird Pokémon with rough brown plumage on its head and tail feathers, and pinkish red feathers on its wings. Sora pulled out his Pokédex to get information on the Pokémon in front of him.
(Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokémon, A Normal and Flying Type, Spearow has a terrible attitude. It is very wild and will sometimes attack other Pokémon and humans.)
"I think i will catch that Spearow, Ready Riptide?" asked Sora.
"Squirt(i'm ready, Bring it on!" said Riptide as he was ready for a battle. The wild Spearow saw him as it took flight and formed three orbs of red blue and yellow before they fired a beam of fire ice and Lightning. "Watch out!, that was a Tri Attack!" shouted Ash
"Dodge it Riptide!" said Sora. Riptide dodged the attack as commanded as he formed a blue ball of energy with his hands. 'Is that?" asked Sora.
"It's Aura Sphere!" shouted Kairi as Hydro fired the Aura Sphere at Spearow but it's aim was off as it missed. "Squirtle(Dam it)" said Riptide sadly as his attack missed. "It's okay Riptide, Now use Water Gun" said Sora.
Riptide opened his mouth and he fired a water gun which landed a direct hit on the bird. Spearow was soaked in water as it charged in with a tackle."use Tackle as well Riptide " said Sora. Riptide and Spearow clashed with Tackle as Riptide managed to overpower the bird and sent it back. "Here goes nothing!" said Sora as he tossed a pokeball at Spearow. Spearow was sucked into the pokeball. It was silent as they watched the pokeball move until stars came out of the ball signalling the capture. "Alright!" said Sora with a smile as he picked up the pokeball. "The first of many friends on our journey Riptide"
"Squirtle!(my first victory!)" said Riptide as Amber said :"Congratulations on your capture Big brother"
Sora smiled as he released Spearow from it's pokeball. Spearow was calmer as it landed on his shoulder. "You are quite strong for a Spearow, welcome to the team Talon, i'm Sora" said Sora.
"Spear!(Happy to be on board Sora)" said the newly named Talon with a smile.
You know that Aura Sphere was quite the surprise" said Ash.
"Must be an Egg Move" said Kairi.
"Egg Move?" asked Serena.
"It's a move that Pokemon can learn from its parents that it cannot normally learn." said Kairi.
"I didn't know that," said Ash looking at Pikachu.
" our Pokedex can also scan their move sets. Let's give it a try" said Kairi.. Ash went first as he looked at Pikachu and Froakie.
(Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu can help other Pikachu who are feeling weak by sharing its electric current. Gender Male, Ability Lightning Rod, Moves, Tackle, Thundershock, Leer, Quick attack, electro Ball, Discharge and the Egg moves Volt Tackle and Thunder Punch. Note the egg moves are locked.")
"Wow Pikachu, those are some good moves, we'll have to work hard to get Volt Tackle unlocked" said Ash as he looked at Froakie pointing his pokedex.
(Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon. From its chest and back, Froakie creates bubbles called Frubbles, which act as a cushion and soften the blow of an opponent's attack, Gender, Male, Ability Torrent, Moves-Water Pulse, Pound, Double Team, Quick Attack and the Egg move Power Up Punch. Note the Egg move is locked.)
"Let's work together Froakie on some new moves." said Ash looking at Froakie who nodded in determination.
"Alright Midori, you're next" said Kairi pointing her pokedex at Flower scanning her(Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon. A young Bulbasaur uses the nutrients from its seed for the energy it needs to grow. Gender-Female, Ability-Overgrow, moves, Tackle, Poison Powder, Sleep Powder, Razor Leaf, Vine Whip, and the egg move Magical Leaf and Leaf Storm. The egg moves are locked."
"Now your turn Riptide" said Sora pointing his pokedex to his starter. (Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokémon. During battle, Squirtle hides in its shell that sprays water at its opponent whenever it -Male, Ability Torrent, moves Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun, Bubblebeam and the egg moves Dragon Pulse and Aura Sphere. Dragon Pulse is still locked"
"That Dragon Pulse will be useful against Dragon Types Riptide." said Sora, earning a smile from his starter. Sora then pointed his pokedex to Talon (This Sparrow's gender is Male, Ability Keen Eye, Moves, Peck, Focus Energy, Tri Attack and the egg move Sky Attack. The egg move is locked)
"Those are some good move's Talon," said Sora, looking at Talon who gave him a salute with his wing.
Sora then pointed his pokedex to Litty to scan him of his moves althoguh he knew some of them.
(Litten, the Fire Cat Pokémon. A Fire type. Litten show few emotions and prefer being alone. It takes time to build any level of trust. Ability Blaze, Moves known, Scratch, Ember, Fury Swipes and the egg move Fake out.)
"Those are good moves Litty but you be the strongest pokemon ever" said Sora looking at the fire cat. Litty could only smile at him before he rubbed against his legs.
"Let's keep going, We got a lot of ground to cover before we reach Viridian City" said Ash as they walked down the path of the Forest when they came to a small river because Sora wanted to catch a Magikarp. Kairi then saw a small Pokémon who looked like a blue plant bulb. It has a round body, beady red eyes, a small mouth, and ovoid feet. Five large, green leaves sprout from its head
"An Oddish!" Sora said. He pulled out his Pokédex and pointed at the Pokémon.
(Oddish, the Weed Pokémon, A Grass/Poison Type, Oddish searches for fertile, nutrient-rich soil, then plants itself. During the daytime, while it is planted, these Pokémon's feet are thought to change shape and become similar to the roots of trees.)
"Oh my, She's so cute, i'm gonna catch her" said Kairi as she sent Eve to battle her. Oddish noticed the humans and She was ready for a fight as she sent a Stun Spore at Eve. "Eve, dodge it and use tackle!"
Eve dodged the Stun Spore and tackled the wild Oddish really hard and it cashed in a took that chance to toss a pokeball at Oddish capturing it. "Great Job Kairi" said Ash before he heard a cry. He looked up to see a raptor-like avian Pokémon. It is covered with brown feathers, and has a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. It has a crest of pinkish-red feathers on its head and black, angular markings behind its eyes. The plumage of its tail has alternating red and yellow feathers with ragged tips. Its beak and legs are pink. Two of its toes point forward, while one points backward. Additionally, it has powerful, sharp talons that it uses to grasp prey.
"A Pidgeotto. My first pokemon to capture. Let's go Pikachu" said Ash.
"Pika!(i'm ready!) Pikachu said as his cheeks sparked. Pidgeotto dived in with an Ariel Ace towards Pikachu. "Use thundershock" Ash said.
Pikachu fired his thundershock at Pidgeotto but the bird dodge it and came right at him. "Get ready to dodge it pikachu when it gets close" said Ash.
"Pika(Got it!)" said Pikachu. Pidgeotto came in close with its aerial ace attack. "Now pikachu!" Ash said. Pikachu jumped over the bird as it missed its mark and Pikachu was on its back.
"Pide(What?) said the shocked Pidgeotto.
"Pikachu!(taste Lightning!) shouted Pikachu as he let loose a thundershock attack. Pidgeotto received a lot of damage from the super effective move and the bird crashed into the ground. 'Go pokeball!" Ash said, throwing a pokeball. The pokeball hit the head of Pidgeotto and the bird was sucked into the pokeball. Ash watched as the pokeball moved around in its pokeball until a ding was heard. Ash smiled before he picked up his new capture. "Come on out pidgeotto!" said Ash.
Pidgeotto appeared a lot calmer as it landed in front of him. "Alright let me see what the pokedex says about you." said Ash.
"Pidgeotto, an evolved form of the Pidgey. It is armed with sharp claws and dives from the sky to capture its prey. Unlike the more gentle Pidgey, Pidgeotto can be dangerous. Approach with extreme caution, Gender Female, A Normal and Flying Type, Ability Keen Eyes, Hidden Ability Big Pecks, Moves Whirlwind, Twister, Roost, Quick attack, Ariel Ace, Steel wing, Gust, and The Egg moves Air Cutter and Brave Bird"
"Wow Pidgeotto, those are some great moves." said Ash. Pidgeotto looked proud of herself after all since she was once a part of a flock with her father being the leader.
Sora pulled out a Super Rod he always had when he and his Dad would go fishing. One pokemon that Sora always wanted was a Gyarados. Amber and Kairi sat beside him as he fished. Hmmm nothing biting" said Sora holding the fishing pole. Just as he was about to pull the lure out. The line started to pull which meant he had caught something. He pulled and a GoldFish pokemon."All Right, I got a Magikarp" said Sora. The group noticed that it was a gold Magikarp and not a red one like common ones. Ash pulled out his pokedex to scan the new pokemon. (Magikarp, the Fish Pokémon. Magikarp can live in the dirtiest of water. It jumps very well and can evolve into Gyarados. this pokemon is a Shiny Pokemon)
"Sora!, that's a Shiny Magikarp!" said Serena in shock. Sora tossed the pokeball and caught the shiny pokemon. "Man am i lucky or what.. I got a shiny Magikarp." said Sora, proud of himself.
He then handed the fishing pole to Kairi. "Here, try your luck Kairi," He said.
Kairi smiled at him as she took the pole and cast a line out to the river. Soon she too got a bite as she pulled out a Grey Fish much like Magikarp. "No way!, it's a Feebas!" exclaimed Kairi looking at the fish. "A Feebas?" asked Sora.
"A water type pokemon normally found in the Hoenn Region. Aqua has a Milotic. Its evoled form" pointed her pokedex at Feebas. (Feebas, the Fish Pokémon. Although extremely ragged, it is a tough Pokémon that can live in almost any kind of water. Its evolved form is Milotic. Gender is Female, Ability Swiftswim, Moves Tackle and the egg moves, Hypnosis, Dragon Pulse, Mirror Coat, and Confuse Ray)
Kairi tapped Feebas with her pokeball and caught it, adding another to her team. "Your name will be Mystic" She said as the ball moved in her hand. "shall we move on?" asked Ash as they resumed walking towards Viridian City when they heard a girl scream. Sora and Company ran towards the screaming as they saw a Orange haired Girl had managed to get a Gyarados on her fishing line. her attire was a yellow shirt, blue shorts, red and white sneakers.
"Hey are you alright?" asked Ash as they ran over to the girl. "No I'm petrified thank you very much" said the girl shaking.
"Sorry just asking" replied Ash
""Sorry about that,it's just that I'm scared of gyarados and I get petrified just looking at them". said the girl.
"That is true, Gyarados can be very intimidating and Trainers who want to have one would rather catch a Magikarp." Sora said to the orange haired girl. He is glad he just caught his new magikarp which he named Scales.
"Anyway, Oh I'm Ash Ketchum by the way and this is Pikachu, Froakie and Pidgeotto". said Ash introducing himself to the girl and his pokemon. (Pika,Froa,Pidg(Hello)" they said.
"Im Sora Ketchum and this is my pokemon Litty" said Sora gesturing to Litty right on his shoulder(Meow(hello)" said Litty with a wave of a paw.
"Kairi Stoner and this is Eve." said Kairi gesturing to Eve who was on her head. "Eevee!(Hello)
And I'm Amber and this is my best friend Teddiursa," said Amber hugging Teddiursa.
"Teddi(Hiya)" said Teddiursa with a wave.
"You guys are siblings?" asked the girl looking at the three ketchums.
"Yep, My big brothers are the best in the world" said Amber as she hugged Sora's waist and he petted her head. The girl looked at them with envoy as she thought/ At least they have a good relationship, not like me and my sisters./
The girl said "My name is Misty Waterflower. Nice to meet you all, where are you guys going?" said Misty.
"To Viridian City" said Sora.
"Well it's not too far from here. just follow the dirt road and you will be there soon" said Misty.
"Thanks Misty. be seeing you" said Ash as the group left Misty and towards the road. Misty thought / Very nice people. I wonder if Sora and Kairi are dating by the way they look at each other?/
Sora and Company continued on their way towards Viridian City. it started to rain a bit and luckily they took shelter underneath a small tree and waited for the rain to stop. Several minutes later the storm came to an end and the group was once again on the way to Viridian City. A rainbow was seen above them when they saw something in the sky that appeared to be a giant bird with its feathers being gold and red, with yellow tail-feathers, a white underside, and green feathers at the tip of its wings. It had a green stripe on its neck, a yellow beak, black rings around its red eyes, and a feathered, yellow crest on its head. Its wings are prismatic flapping about causing it to leave a trail of a rainbow behind it. It has darkly colored feet and legs with four toes and long talons.
"Whoa," Sora said, all he was able to say at the sight. "What is that?"
"I don;t know but it's beautiful" said Serena.
"It's Ho-oh" Kairi said on seeing the bird.
"Ho-oh?" asked Serena
"Ho-Oh is a legendary Pokémon," Kairi explained to her. "I had only heard about stories my grandma used to tell me when I was little. It is said that it revived three dead Pokémon in a burning tower and became its servants. I never thought it was real. It's even more beautiful than I thought."
Sora turned to Kairi and thought to himself, "Not as beautiful as you Kairi." Sora blushed and ended up with a tinge of pink on his cheeks. Something came off the end of Ho-oh as it started to descend towards them. It looked to be a feather that was red, orange and had a plume. Ash reached out and caught it with his hand. The feather glowed with the same color as the rainbow and he looked up to the sky watching Ho-oh fly off into the rainbow.
"That was so amazing...I can't wait to tell Grandma that we actually saw Ho-oh" Kairi exclaimed.
"Come on, let's hurry to Viridian City to get our pokemon looked at" said Ash before he carefully took the weather and placed it inside a cloth and into his bag. The group followed the trail to Viridian City.
In Viridian City, just as the sun was setting, a young woman's voice was heard over the loudspeakers. The speaker is a young policewoman just around either nineteen of age to her twenties with aquamarine hair.
"Attention citizens of Viridian City! We have reports of Pokémon thieves in the area! Be on the lookout for suspicious looking characters in the area! Repeat! , Be on the- huh?" the policewoman paused as she noticed the group arriving into the city.
"How far is the Pokémon center from here?" Sora asked.
'Not too far about a half hour walk if i am correct" said Serena. Officer Jenny came over to them. "Excuse me but i need to see your IDs" She said. The group took out their pokedexs which had their ID's on them. She read them before she said. "Okay, Thank you for showing me your ID
Excuse us but we are looking for the Pokemon center." said Ash.
"I can take you there Ash" said Misty as she had caught up with them. 'Hi Misty" They said to the girl they just met. "If you guys will just follow me, I will be more than glad to take you to the Pokemon Center. "Here's a warning to you all, There are some People that go by the name of Team Rocket going around Stealing pokemon so watch yourself." said Jenny.
"Thanks officer Jenny." They said to Officer Jenny. they bid farewell to Jenny as they followed Misty to the pokemon center.
As soon as they were gone, a fishing line with hook attached snags a wanted poster showing two people, a woman with long fushia pink hair curled like a comet tail and is wearing green pearl earrings. Another being a man with shoulder length periwinkle blue. And he appears to be holding a red rose. The fishing line is pulled up into a cream colored hot air balloon shaped like a cat's head which appears to be a gold coin on the head and two whiskers on each side. Two people matching the posters, the full look at them is that they're wearing matching white outfits and black gloves and boots with the letter R on the center. The woman's outfit exposed her midriff and she was wearing a short skirt. And with them appears to be a cream colored cat similar to the balloon and with a brown patch of fur at the tail and feet.
"A wanted poster, how flattering," the woman said in a sinister-sounding voice.
"Flattering?" the man gasped in a British accent. "I look terrible in this poster!"
"Well you should be thankful that the photographer caught the real you," she told her colleague.
"Exactly," the man said holding up a rose.
"We'll show these Viridian City bumpkins," she sneered.
"They'll be sorry that they ever saw this face," he finished.
"We're all sorry to see your face," the cat spoke in a Brooklyn accent. "Stay focused! We're on a mission to capture rare and valuable Pokémon."
"How right you are, Meowth," the woman said.
"Of course," the man added.
"And remember that I'm the top cat!" Meowth said.
"If you say so," the man sighed.
"MEOWTH!"
/at the pokemon center/
The group arrived at the pokemon center. Tending to the counter was a pink haired nurse tied in loops. "Welcome to the viridian pokemon center, how may i help you?" asked the woman.
"Hello Nurse Joy, can we get out Pokemon healed up?" Sora asked.
"Of course. After all it's my job to care for pokemon" said Nurse Joy taking their pokeballs from them and Pikachu, Litty and Eve. Sora and them heard a familiar voice. "Well I wasn;t expecting you guys to be here so soon?"
Sora and Kairi instantly turned around and standing at the door to the pokemon center was a boy with long silver hair. He's wearing a yellow-and-black tank top with white-trimmed, black straps criss crossing his chest and upper back with a white on each end. He sports a pair of gray-trimmed, black gloves with matching black wristbands, dark blue pants with brighter blue baggy pant legs connected with white-studded suspenders and are buckled with small black straps on his ankles. On his hip, he wears a black belt with a silver rectangular buckle. His white-and-blue shoes have white-trimmed, black straps, gray soles, and are decorated with yellow strings on the inner sides, some of which criss cross each other. on his left wrist he had a black ring.
"RIKU!" exclaimed the two. Sora and Kairi walked over to the teen and hugged their friend they haven't seen in a long time. Riku laughed before the two pulled back. Riku noticed Ash and Serena. 'Ash, Serena. Nice seeing you guys again too" said Riku.
"Us too Riku" siad the two.
"Hi Riku," said Amber, waving to Riku. Riku only rubbed her head with his hand making her giggle. He then noticed Misty before he asked. "Who are you?"
"My name is Misty Waterflower. I'm from Cerulean City" said Misty.
"Names Riku Galleghar and i was formerly from Pallet Town like Sora, Ash and Kairi but my Mom and i moved to Hau'oli City in the Alola Region and i started my own pokemon journey there" said Riku.
"The Alola region, I've heard of that region and there are so many new pokemon there right?" asked Misty, earning a nod from Riku.
"It's been so long, when did you get back to Kanto Riku?" asked Sora.
"About two days ago. My friends and I came from Vermillion City and I wanted to show them my former hometown before we would journey across Kanto." said Riku before he looked back to the door. Several more teens had come inside the building. The first person was a girl and. She had long blonde hair and was wearing a white dress and hat. on her back was a pink backpack and she was carrying a gym bag as well. in her arms was a white Vulpix with blue eyes. on her left wrist was a red ring with a white crystal.
a short chubby boy with orange hair and brown eyes, wearing a yellow scarf shaped like Pikachu's tail, and his white shirt with a Gameboy color printed on it and brown pants with a belt with badge at the waist and green shoes with lightning designs and blue soles. on his head was a small mouse pokemon much similar to a pikachu only it was rounder. on his wrist was a white ring with a light greenish crystal.
a girl with blue eyes and hair, the latter in which she wears a yellow decoration. She wears a white sleeveless shirt with a dark blue undershirt and a short cape behind her back. She also wears blue pants with a wave pattern tightened by a yellow line, which also has a badge attached, and also wears a pair of blue flip-flops. In her arms was a Eevee. like her friends she too had a ring with a blue crystal.
a dark skinned teenage boy with a muscular build, He has orange and brown hair, in a style resembling fire. He wears red shorts with a black outline and sandals with the same color scheme and he's wearing no shirt, though he does have some black cloth strips on his shoulders bound to his necklace, which has a small badge and feather decorations. He too had a ring on his wrist with a red crystal.
And finally the last person is a tanned skinned girl who adorns a pink flower in her green hair and has green eyes. She wears a pink sleeveless shirt with light teal overalls. She wears light teal denim shorts and green shoes with small dark green bows. She also has a golden clover-shaped badge on her waist. in her arms was a Shaymin and she too had a ring much like her friends. In the slot of the ring was a green crystal.
"Hey Riku, who are your friends?" asked the girl with blonde hair.
Riku turned to his friends from Alola before back to his kanto friends. "Sora, Kairi, Ash, Serena and Amber, meet my friends from Alola. Lillie and her vulpix Snowy. Sophocles and Togedemaru, Lana and Sandy, Kiawe, Mallow and her Shaymin. Guys this is my best friend Sora, Kairi, Ash and Serena." said Riku.
"It's so nice to meet you all, Riku's told us a lot about you" Lillie said with a bow. Sora shot his best friend a look and he nodded to him. He told his Alola friends about the keyblade and they vowed to keep it a secret for their friend.
"I've never seen a white vulpix before," said Serena, looking at Snowy. "Snowy is an alolan Vulpix. In Alola, some pokemon have regional variants and have different typing. Alolan Vulpixs are ice types." said Lillie holding Snowy.
"She's so cute," said Kairi, cooing at Snowy.
"Hi Snowy" said Sora reaching to pet the ice type when Snowy let loose a Powder Snow attack freezing him in ice. Litty used a weak ember to thaw out the ice. Sora now shivering holding his arms said. "That's cold" Snowy hid herself in her trainer's arms. "She's a bit shy when meeting new faces" Lillie said with a sweatdrop.
A ding was heard as their pokemon was all healed up. 'Here you go, your pokemon are in excellent health" said Nurse Joy.
"Hi buddy" said Ash as Pikachu climbed onto his shoulder. Eve and Fennekin were back in their trainers arms. '"So you got a pikachu Ash and Kairi got an Eevee? What about you sora?" asked Riku.
"I got a Squirtle I nicknamed Riptide," said Sora. Riku could only shake his head at his friend. Seems like Sora and Kairi are going to be those trainers that nickname their pokemon. Pikachu, Litty and Eve looked at the new pokemon. Togedemaru instantly started to nuzzle the heck out of pikachu much to his annoyance. Her spikes impaled into pikachu's side making him a bit hurt. Snowy hid behind Lillie's leg when Eve came over to her. "Eevee(hiya, wanna play?)" asked Eve. Snowy slowly came out of her shell and joined the other pokemon while their trainers took a seat in a booth.
"So Riku, how is Alola?" asked Sora.
"It's a lush paradise and I had plenty of adventures with Lillie, Sophocles, Lana, Mallow and Kiawe." said Riku.
"Yeah, we supported Riku as he went through the Island Challenge." said Kiawe.
"The Island Challenge?" Ash was curious about the Island Challenge.
"Instead of collecting gym badges. Trainers from Alola go though the four islands of alola and go though trials collecting Z-crystals from trials by defeating totem pokemon, once you clear a trial, you can face the Kahuna of that island for a grand trial. Just a few months ago. Professor kukui held the first ever Alola league and we have our first Champion" said Mallow.
"Who's the champion?" asked Serena.
"You're looking at him," said Riku with a smug look.
"WHAT!, YOUR THE CHAMPION OF ALOLA!" Exclaimed Sora and Ash at the same time.
"Yep, my pokemon and I worked extremely hard to train for the Alola League and we were victorious," said Riku.
"You Deserved it Riku, you and your pokemon trained hard for the Alola League'' said Kiawe. The other Alolan trainers agreed with him. "So what's with the pokeball around your neck Lillie?" asked Serena, seeing a normal pokeball attached to a necklace she was wearing.
"Oh that's Nebby's Pokeball." said Lillie.
"Nebby?" asked Ash.
'You meet him soon enough." said Riku, a bit hesitant to reveal who Nebby is. The five trainers eyed each other curious about Nebby. /Who's Nebby?/ thought Kairi noticed how Riku and the other Alolans were keeping quiet about Nebby. Ash felt a powerful aura coming from the pokeball and he wondered. "What kind of pokemon is it to have such a strong aura?' thought the raven haired boy.
Pikachu and the other pokemon were curious about Nebby too. Pikachu looked at the three alola pokemon before he asked in their language "Who's Nebby?"
'Nebby is a Solgaleo...The legendary pokemon of the Sunne. He was raised by Lillie ever since he was a Cosmog" said Snowy.
"He didn't want to leave Lillie so he stayed with her after he evolved. Lillie is trying to keep him a secret unless absolutely necessary to reveal him" said Togedemaru.
Their pokemon understand before resuming their game of tag.
'So misty,, are you traveling by yourself?" asked Mallow, looking at Misty.
"Kinda, my dream is to become a great water pokemon trainer," said Misty.
"Really, Me too, I love water type pokemon with a passion" Lana said with stars in her eyes. "I love how beautiful they are and how strong they are."
"What water type pokemon do you have?" asked Misty looking at Lana.
"I have a Lapras, Shellder, Gyarados, Bruxish, Wishiwashi and Aquanid and of course my partner...Primarina," said Lana tossing a pokeball in the air. Moments later did a marine Pokémon that resembles a cross between a sea lion and a mermaid. Most of its body is white, but it has a long, fish-like tail. It has a long snout with a round, pink nose, bright blue eyes with long white eyelashes, and long light blue hair trailing off the back of its head. A tiara-like structure rests on its forehead, consisting of a line of pearls with a pink sea star at one corner and a thin, transparent blue fin extending back over its hair. Its hair is contained to a ponytail by two strings of pearls. This ponytail, as shown in the games and anime, becomes temporarily undone when it performs certain moves. On its body are three fins similar to the one on its crown: one that drapes around its shoulders and chest, one around its waist where the fishtail begins, and one near the tip of its tail. It has long front fins with three digits. Primarina's long fish-like tail is bright blue with small pointed, pink fins around its hips. Its tail fins are white, and it is capable of using them as feet to stand up. "Primarina(Hello) said Primarina.
"Oh wow, it's so beautiful" exclaimed Misty, Serena, Kairi and Amber. Ash and Sora pulled out their pokedexes to scan Primarina.
"Primarina, the Soloist Pokémon. A Water and Fairy type and the final form of Popplio. It controls the balloons that it makes by singing melodies passed down from generation to generation"
Primarina made some Water balloons of different colors before letting it go to the pokemon and Amber who instantly started to play with them. "Primarina is the final form of Popplio right Lana?" asked Ash.
'Yep, I've had Primarina ever since she was a Popplio." said Lana, remembering the day she met her starter.
Popplio was getting bullied." She began as she recalled, Team Skull picking on Popplio.
Deciding to do something, she had her Ride Pokémon Lapras hit Team Skull with an Ice Beam. She then explained how she tossed a lure at Popplio, and told her to grab on. Once she did, Lana pulled her to safety, and took her to the Pokémon Center.
"Popplio was weak and scared. She was terribly hurt. I didn't want her to hate humans. And that's why I choose her to be my partner." Lana said she had finished her story.
"Such an amazing story. I'm glad Popplio had you Lana" said Misty.
'Yeah, we've been through so much together, Primarina evolved from Brionne during an encounter with the Legendary Pokemon Kyogre" said Lana.
"KYOGRE!" exclaimed Sora, Kairi and Ash doing a jump in their seats. "Who's Kyogre?" said a confused Serena.
Ash pulled out his pokedex and then showed her a picture of a massive whale-like Pokémon with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. It has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The tail is tattered with four trailing parts, the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.
"Kyogre, The Sea Basin Pokemon, Kyogre is said to be the personification of the sea itself. Legends tell of its many clashes against Groudon, as each sought to gain the power of nature."
"That's amazing, you actually got a chance to meet it?" asked Misty envoy that Lana got to meet a legendary water type pokemon.
'Yep and every now and then. Kyogre comes to Alola just to see me. My dad and my friends were shocked to see Kyogre appear at our house one day" said Lana with a smile.
"Wow you must have formed a strong bond with Kyogre Lana." said Ash.
"but hang on,if you like water pokemon so much Misty, why are you scared of gyarados since that's a water type pokemon". asked Kairi
"I was nearly eaten by one when I was a baby and since then I have been afraid of them," Misty said, explaining her fear.
"Sorry, we didn;t mean to bring it up" said Sora
"No it's okay, besides I'm trying to get over that fear. That way I can catch and train gyarados for myself" Misty said.
Ash felt Amber pull on his shirt. 'Big brother, shouldn't we call mommy and Daddy and let them know we go to Viridian City?" Amber said.
'Oh right. I need to call my Grandma and let her know we got here too" said Kairi. The group stood up and headed over to the phone went to one while Serena with the other to call her mom. Sora dialed his house first and before they knew it. A picture of Ryo and Delia appeared on the screen. ""Hey mom, Dad its us calling, We made it to Viridian City" said Ash
"Already, good. are you having fun on your journey?" she asked.
"Yep," said Amber who was being hoisted by Sora.
"Have you caught any Pokemon yet?" asked Ryo.
"Yeah, I caught a Pidgeotto while Sora got a Shiny Magikarp," said Ash.
The reaction of their parents' faces was priceless. "A shiny magikarp...That is a very rare catch indeed...Sora I hope you take good care of your new Magikarp" said Ryo.
"I plan too...After all, I've always wanted a Gyarados of my own and they're super cool" said Sora with a grin. Ryo and Delia chuckled before Sora said. "Oh and you're not going to believe who we just bumped into"
'Who would that be dear?'' asked Delia, curious when Riku made himself known. 'Hi mr and Mrs. Ketchum. It's been a while"
"Riku, glad to see you're doing alright for yourself...congratulations on becoming Alola's first champion" said Ryo.
"Wait a second...how do you know Dad?" asked Ash.
"Read it in the paper...you both were training with your mom that day and I forgot to tell you both," Ryo said while rubbing the back of his head. Delia could only giggle at her husband. "Anyway, we just wanted to call in and check in before we called Professor Oak," said Ash.
'We're glad you did son...anyway can i have a small talk with Riku before you hang up." said Ryo. Sora, Ash and Amber nodded before they went away to let their dad talk with Riku. Riku is also a keyblade wielder and he has been trained by his Master. Master Terra. "What can I do for your Mr. Ketchum?" asked Riku. Delia walked away to the stove since she was cooking dinner.
'I want you to monitor Sora and Kairi's training...I have given Sora the key and i trust my son very much but he can be reckless sometimes. I want you to make sure he doesn't do anything that can put him at risk. I also asked Kairi to do the same thing. " said Ryo.
'Of course Mr. Ketchum. Sora's my best friend and both me and Kairi will make sure he doesn'y do anything stupid." said Riku. Ryo smiled at him before he hung up.
Over to Kairi. She was engaged in a conversation with her grandma. Ivy was out of her pokeball and in her arms. "I see you caught yourself an Oddish Kairi." Kathryn said.
"Yep, this is Ivy...Ivy, this is my Grandma." said Kairi holding her pokemon.
"Oddish(Hello)" said Ivy.
"Such a cute little pokemon" cooed Katheryn
Over to Serena. She was talking to her mother Grace. Grace has blue eyes and brown hair, with a yellow hairpin. Grace wears a simple black t-shirt, a tracksuit, whose sleeves have been tied in a knot and some orange shoes. Grace also has a pink lipstick on.
"Hi mom, I thought I would call you and let you know I made it to Pallet Town and Professor Oak even gave me a Charmander," said Serena, showing her mother Charmander who was in her arms.
'Such a cutie...are you keeping up your Rhyhorn training dear?" asked Grace. Serena didn't want to break her mother's heart on not wanting to tell her she didn't want to be a Rhyhorn Racer. She wanted to find her own path but what she wanted to do was blank. "I met up with Ash and i'm currently traveling with him and his brother Sora." said Serena.
"Oh so tell me dear, have you kissed him yet?" teased Grace with a smirk.
'Mother! We are just friends!" exclaimed Serena with a blush on her face. Grace just laughed at her daughter before she said with a wink. 'I'm just kidding Serena. Its my job as a mother to embarrass you"
"It wasn't really funny," muttered Serena.
"Anyway, just have fun on your journey and say hi to Ash for me" said Grace ending the call. Serena walked back to them just as Sora was calling professor oak. Professor Oak picked up the phone. "Hello, Ash, Sora, Serena and Kairi, How are you doing on your journey?" He asked.
"We're doing fine, professor, we made it to Viridian City." said Kairi.
"Already? normally it takes trainers four days to reach Viridian City," said Professor Oak.
"We were quick to reach Viridian because we wanted to start our training for our first Gym battle at Pewter City" said Ash.
"I see, I also made a bet with Gary that you two wouldn't catch any Pokemon before you reach Viridian City"
Sora sweat dropped as he said "You really shouldn't bet on that Professor, we caught some Pokemon before we arrived in Viridian City"
"Yes! I know I can count on you boys. My grandson owes me fifty poke-dollars." said the professor with a smile knowing he won a bet with his grandson. Just then a ding dong bell was heard at the lab. "Oh that must be my pizza, Mm, anchovy, spinach, and pineapple pizza; my favorite!"Talk to you all soon " said Prof Oak going to go get it after he hanged up the phone.. The four trainers had a disqusted look on their faces. Anchovies and spinach on a pizza. 'Gross" they thought.
Sora, Ash, Serena and Kairi met up with the others in the entrance. The Viridian City radar sensors have detected an aircraft belonging to a gang of Pokémon thieves! If you have a Pokémon in your possession, exercise extreme caution!"
The same hot air balloon is seen hovering over the Pokémon Center, with the same two people from before and their Meowth preparing their attack.
"Well, we certainly woke up this sleepy town," the woman cackled.
"And how dare they treat us like we're just common criminals," the man snarled. "They should welcome Team Rocket!"
"We'll teach them to respect that name," the woman added.
"Meowth! And after we swipe away their Pokémon, those scared little mice will know that Team Rocket are the top cats of the world!" Meowth said.
"Agreed!" they both said as they threw out two Pokéballs into the air. "Ekans! Koffing! Attack!" The Pokéballs crash through the window up on the ceiling catching Sora and Kairi by surprise.
The Pokéballs pop open as two Pokémon are released from inside. One being snake-like Pokémon with purple and yellow coloring. Its underside leading to its tail is yellow, and it has a yellow rattle at the tip of its also large, yellow eyes with slit, reptilian pupils. Across its neck is a large, yellow band.
The other is a purple spherical Pokémon that appears to be smiling has a skull and crossbones on the lower parts of its body. It has openings on its body letting out a poison gas.
"Koffing(Surpise)!" The round Pokemon said.
"Ekanssssss!(We are here and ready to rumble!)" The snake Pokémon hissed, shaking its rattle.
Koffing flies around the room spreading a smoke-like substance. Everyone covers their mouths to breath.
What's going on?!" Sora exclaimed. "Who are you guys?!"
"We'll be glad to answer that, little boy," the woman said.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves," the man finished. The two people give their motto as the smoke clears.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
Meowth jumps in the scene and finishes this off.
"Meowth! That's right!"
"Did that Meowth just talk?!" Sora pulled his Pokédex to scan him.
(Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon, Meowth withdraws its sharp claws into its paws to slinky sneak about without making any incriminating footsteps. For some reason, this Pokémon loves shiny coins that glitter with light.)
"And what the chatterbox gizmo won't tell you is that I'm the top cat here!" Meowth gloated.
"WE GET IT, MEOWTH!" Jessie and James shouted.
Sophocles leaned over to Nurse Joy and whispered, "Just who are they?"
"Judging from those uniforms, they're from an organization called Team Rocket. They're a gang of criminals who would steal Pokémon from other trainers. They also use the Pokémon they have commit all sorts of crimes. Just the thought of it is unforgivable," Nurse Joy explained.
'So there thieves" said Kiawe reaching for a pokeball.
'Stand out of our way tweps and hand us your pokemon, ' said Jessie.
'Not a chance, if it's one thing we don;t like its people taking other people's pokemon!" Ash said.
"Yeah, let's go Litty," said Sora. Litty jumps on the field before he hissed. 'Meow(Your going down!)"
"I'm not afraid of you!, bring it on shrimpie" said Meowth.
Riku pulls out a pokeball and tossed it into the air to release his starter. A reptilian, bipedal Pokémon. Its neck is somewhat long, and it has two crests on its head. It has semicircular, yellow eyes with red rims. Its lower jaw and a belt-like band across its waist are also red. Along its back, it has two lines running down the middle and two rows of yellow nodules that are described as seeds. Its tail is shaped similar to that of a palm tree's branch. Both of its long arms have two sharp, elongated leaves and three claws. 'Sceptile!(your not going to harm anyone on my watch" said Sceptile.
Sora and Ash pull out their pokedexes to scan the new pokemon. "Sceptile, the Forest Pokémon, and the final form of Treecko. The seeds growing on Sceptile's back are brimming with vitamins that can revitalize trees."
"A Sceptile...a grass type from the Hoenn region" said Sora.
"My partner and Sceptile is my strongest Pokemon," said Riku.
"Since we're introducing partners, meet mine as well. Turtonator, I choose you!" said Kiawe. Out of his pokeball came a bipedal, turtle-like Pokémon with a spiny shell. Its skin is a muted green and only visible on its limbs, tail, head, and neck. On top of its head is an additional shell with many points around the brim. This extra shell has a black center, yellow in the middle, and a red outer rim. Its eyes have black markings around the bottom, and it has a tubular, yellow snout with a single, large nostril. Turtonator has a wide mouth with the lower lip marked by a jagged yellow line extending from its nose. On each side of Turtonator's long neck are two short, triangular projections. Its front legs have mitten-like hands, while its hind feet have claw-like red growths around them. Most of its tail is also covered by red plating, which has fin-like projections. The shell that encases its body has a red underside with a star-shaped, yellow-rimmed hole in the center. The back of the shell has a yellow center with several spikes: four large spikes with red bases form a star-shape in the center with four smaller spikes around them."Turtonator(I'm ready for action!) said Turtonator before letting loose a small flamethrower.
Seeing the pokemon did Serena scan the pokemon with her pokedex.
"Turtonator, the Blast Turtle Pokemon. A Fire and Dragon Type. Explosive substances coat the shell on its that dare attack it will be blown away by an immense sulfur in its volcanic habitat is what causes explosive compounds to develop in its shell. Its droppings are also dangerously explosive."
"Whoa" said Sora and ash at the same time on seeing Turtonator.
"Turtonator is a fire and Dragon type. My partner" said Kiawe. Misty pulled out her own pokeball before she sent out a golden-brown starfish-like Pokémon with five appendages. These appendages surround an exterior organ called the core. The core resembles a golden metal casing with a red gem in the center, which is held in place by a golden ring looped around Staryu's lower left point
"Hyah!(i'm ready!) exclaimed the pokemon.
"Oh wow a Staryu! I always wanted to see one!, its so beautiful" exclaimed Lana on seeing the water type with heart eyes.
"Thank you Lana" said Misty with a small smile.
"Ekans use your tackle attack!" said Jessie.
"You as well Koffing!" said James. Ekans and Koffing moved in with a tackle attack towards the pokemon. 'Turtonator use Shell Trap!" said Kiawe.
Turtonator with it's back turned towards ekans and koffing waited for the two pokemon to attack. Koffing touched one of the spines of Turtonators back and it casued an explosion sending the two pokemon back a bit.
"What just happened?" asked Misty confused.
"If something touches the spine on Turtonators back, it explodes" said Kiawe.
"So cool!" Sora exclaimed.
"Ekans use Bite on that pikachu!" said Jessie. Ekans slithered towards Pikachu with its mouth wide open. 'Pikachu use your thundershock!" Ash said.
Pikachu let loose a thundershock attack which electrocuted Ekans making it paralyzed. "Eve use Tackle!" said Kairi. Eve ran towards Ekans and tackled the snake really hard making it faint from battle. 'My darling ekans!" exclaimed Jessie picking up her pokemon.
"Taste my fury swipes!" said Meowth. His claws were glowing white as he jumped towards Litty. "Litty use Scratch!" said Sora.
Litty claws also grew before he and Meowth engaged in a small duel between them. "Staryu use Rapid spin on that Koffing!" said Misty.
"Hyah(i'm on it Misty!)" Staryu said before it began to spin like a star towards Koffing. Koffing dodged the attack from Misty's Staryu before James said. Tackle attack once more"
Koffing aimed for the next pokemon which was Eve but Lana said. 'Primarina use Sparkling Aria!" said Lana.
Primarina stands up on its tail and sings, forming an orb of water above her head. She hen throws the orb at Koffing making the pokemon float back a bit towards it's trainer. Riku then said. "Sceptile use Leaf Blade!"
Sceptile formed tow green blades on his sharp leaves before going at Koffing with super speed and with a single strike. Takes down Koffing who then crashes into James. Litty and meowth were still going at it with their claws when Litty got the edge and smacks meowth on the face with his tail before using Ember to lite the cat's tail on fire. "AHHH!, My Tail is on fire!" exclaimed Meowth running around Jessie and James with his tail on fire. Meowth quickly puts the fire out before he flares at Litty. "Pikachu use thundershock!" said Ash.
"PIKACHU!(taste lighting!) Pikachu said before using his thundershock attack on Team Rocket sending them flying.
"Come on we didn't get to steal something for the boss!" whinned James
"We got beaten up instead and i lost to that cat" said Meowth with a wine.
"Why does everyone hate us!" said Jessie
'Looks like we're Blasting off again!" said the three as they were gone with a star in the sky. Nurse Joy came out of hiding before she said to the group. 'Thank you all for protecting the pokemon."
"No problem after all, we wouldn't want those thieves to get away with it" said Sora.
"And as a thank you. I have plenty of spare rooms for you all to stay the night in." said Nurse Joy.
'Thank you ma'am, ' said everyone. After recalling all their pokemon, The boys went to share one room while the girls shared another one. During the middle of the night. Lillie was still wide awake before she quietly sneaked out of the room to not wake the other girls up. She went towards the small battlefield. Taking the pokeball in her hand she said quietly. 'Come on out Nebby"
The pokeball opened and in a flash did a pokemon like no other appeared. The pokemon standing before her was a large, white Pokémon resembling a lion. It has a blunt muzzle with a blue-gray nose and pale blue eyes. The top half of its face is a deep blue area that shows a constantly changing starscape. Four yellow spikes frame Solgaleo's head like a crown and two more pairs of spikes adorn either side of its lower jaw. Each spike separates large tufts of Solgaleo's mane. Solid ridges—red nearest Solgaleo's head and yellow farther away—poke out of each tuft along the middle, except on the tufts on its cheeks and chin, with the topmost part wrapping around the tip of the tuft. Overall, its mane creates the impression of a stylized sun. Around each leg is a dark orange band, and there is a black spot on each foot. It has three black toes on each foot with long yellow claws. At the tip of its tail is a large black spot with a thin yellow rim.
Nebby looked around before he looked back at Lillie. 'Is this the Kanto Region Lillie?" asked Nebby with a baritone like voice. Nebby was using Telepathy to communicate with Lillie.
'Yep, i'm sorry i didn;t ket you out to stretch as soon as we got here Nebby but we took a bus from Vermillion City to reach Viridan City to head for Pallet Town when we met with some of Riku's friends from his old home town." Said Lillie hugging her pokemon's head as he laid down on the ground
"I see," said Nebby before he felt the power of the χ-blade from within Sora as well as the power within Ash. Being a Psychic Type. he can feel just how powerful they can be, "So when can i meet them?" asked Nebby.
"Soon," Lillie said, rubbing his forehead. Lillie stayed with Nebby for a while before it came for her to head back inside to get some sleep. She had recalled Nebby back into his pokeball and joined her friends in some sleep.
