Chapter 7
Ash, Golly and Lillie are in school watching Pikachu, Sylveon and Popplio playing together. Just then, they see Lana and her Popplio approaching them.
"Alola, Lana." Lillie says. Lana says, "What are you up to?"
"Well, we are just playing with our new Pokemon, Popplio." Ash says. Then the other classmates come and Mallow asks, "When did you get a Popplio?"
"This morning." Golly says. "Professor Kukui told us that he gave out all the Starter Pokemon to new trainers, but this Popplio is being left out, so Ash decides to take care of it."
"That's so nice of you." Sophocles says.
"Yeah." Ash says as he opens his backpack, only to see that Rowlet pops out of it and then rolls to the ground until it hits the fence. "I thought where were you, Rowlet."
"He is in your backpack again-roto?" R. Rotom asks as they laugh a little.
Once the class is over, Lana asks Ash, Golly and Lillie to come to her house. Ash says, "By the way, Lana, when we first meet each other, you were fishing, right?"
"Yeah, I like Pokemon from undersea." Lana says.
"That's awesome." Golly says as they continue to walk. Lillie notices the two Popplio and she says, "It seems like they are getting along so well."
"Yeah." Ash says. R. Rotom says, "Alola Dex Entry No.7 Popplio: The Sea Lion Pokemon: Water Type. Popplio can control water balloons, and works hard so it can make bigger balloons."
"By the way, I notice that you are practicing Popplio to do that every morning, right?" Lillie asks.
"Yeah, this beach is where I met my own Popplio...it was being abused by Team Skull until Lapras saved him." Lana says.
"That sounds wonderful. I hope we can make bigger balloons as well." Ash says to Popplio who nods.
"Of course you can. My dream is to get inside the balloon so that I can go underwater easily to see more Water Type Pokemon." Lana says.
"That's great news, I think I want to try it out as well." Ash says.
"But usually Popplio can only make small balloons." P. Rotom says.
"But we don't know if we don't try it out." Lillie says.
Then Lana asks her Popplio to make one, but then it breaks in the end, Ash also tries out with his own Popplio, but with the same results. Golly says, "Why don't we try working together? Surely two Pokemon can make it?"
Lana says, "Nice Idea, let's try it out."
Then they work together and then R. Rotom says, "Unbelievable, the expansion ratio is going to 125%...200%..."
"It's working." Lillie says as they made a giant balloon. But as it rises to the air, it breaks and then wetting all four of them as well as four Pokemon. "I think it is still impossible." P. Rotom says.
After drying themselves, they arrive at Lana's house. Once they get inside, Lana is greeted by two children who seems to be Lana's sisters.
"Ash, Lillie, Golly, they are my sisters, sisters Harper and Sarah..." But then they see that the two siblings start to play with Pikachu's cheeks.
"Sarah, Harper, you are making Pikachu uncomfortable." Lana says. "But it is so cute." "Yeah, I have never seen a real one before."
R. Rotom says, "Pikachu is very popular in the Alola Region." Golly sighs, "Which is also why Mimikyu hates him."
Then Sarah asks, "So is that boy your boyfriend? Sister?" This causes Lana to blush and Lillie to get jealous. "No, he is not!"
"Really?" The sisters ask. "Really!" Then Pikachu fires a Thunderbolt, and then Ash quickly hugs Lillie so that she won't get shocked while the others except for Golly are shocked as well. "Not again..."R. Rotom says.
Then Lana shows them her Fishing Rod, and Ash and the other two are surprised. "Wow, you have a lot of fishing rods." Lillie says.
"Yeah, you really are a collector." Golly says.
"It is nothing." Lana says shyly. Just then, they hear a scream of Lapras and Ash says, "What's going on here?"
They rush towards the Lapras and then they see that Team Rocket have the Lapras in the net. After the motto, Golly says, "You three again?"
"We are taking those Lapras." Jessie says. "And if you use Electric attacks, then they will be injured."
Ash says, "Then use Iron Tail!" Then Pikachu cuts the net, much to their shock. As Lapras is falling, two Popplio use Balloons to make them land safely.
"Nice work, Lana." Ash says as they hug the Pokemon. Then Lana suddenly goes dark and says, "Unforgivable...Popplio...Bubble Beam on them!" "You too. Popplio."
Both of the Pokemon fire the bubbles, causing Team Rocket to blast off again. "Thank you for helping us." Lana says.
"No problem." Ash says as they stay for a while before heading back home.
Then the next day in the house, Ash and Golly find that there are no food in the refrigerator, Ash says, "How about we go shopping for food?"
"Sure. Brother." Golly says as they go to Hau'oli City Hall, but much to their surprise, they see Sophocles there, so they greet him. Togedemaru hugs Pikachu so tight as Sophocles says, "Geez, stop doing that to Pikachu."
"Well, she sure is a fan for Pikachu." Ash laughs.
"Alola Dex Entry No.292: Togedemaru: The Roly-Poly Pokémon: Electric and Steel type. Its ability to generate electricity is weak, but its long needle acts as a lightning rod, so it can attract lightning and store the electricity. When happy, it forms a ball and rolls around. But once it starts rolling, it can't control itself."
Just then, Togedemaru then hits Pikachu in the end and then she stops, Ash asks, "So Sophocles, what did you buy?"
"Well...I am just going to have some ice-cream." Sophocles says while sweating.
"Ice Cream? We want to eat it as well." Golly and Ash say in union.
Then they all sit at the Ice Cream Store, and then they eat together and Sophocles explains his love for ice cream. Golly says, "Wow, you sure are good at finding resources."
"Yeah. In fact, I also like inventing. Like this." He then shows them a program and says, "This is a program that I made."
As they are amazed, R. Rotom says, "I want to see more about it."
Sophocles gives an evil smile and says, "Then please let me examine you in exchange."
"I refuse-Roto!" Rotom yells. Ash says, "You know, the way you like inventing made me remember of my old friend Clemont..."
"Clemont? As in the Lumiose City Gym Leader? You have met him once?" Sophocles asks in surprise.
"Well, he was my traveling companion back in the Kalos Region. With his sister Bonnie and Serena..." Ash says.
"Serena? You mean the one who almost become the Kalos Queen, but died after the plane crash?" Sophocles asks.
"Well, she isn't actually dead." Golly says. "But that is another thing to say."
Sophocles decides not to ask further, but then he asks, "Is it true that Clemont made a robot for his Gym duties?"
"Well, you mean Clembot? Of course, at first it has some errors, but all went well in the end." Ash says.
"Man, I really want to see it in person." Sophocles says.
Then they all head into the mall, and then suddenly, the doors are closing and then they are separated with Rotom, Pikachu and Togedemaru.
"What's going on?" Ash asks in shock as he bangs on the door, but in vain as it won't open.
Then a staff member says, "We are very sorry! Just before the system suddenly goes wrong and the doors to close automatically. We are still investigating the reason."
Just then, the lights are cut off as Sophocles start to run in panic. "Sophocles, please calm down." Golly says as she takes out a Flashlight. "Thank you, Golly..." Sophocles says.
"Are you really afraid of the dark?" Ash asks. "Yeah. It is thanks to Togedemaru that I am able to sleep in the night time." Sophocles ays.
Then Sophocles decides to help the staff at the mall while Ash asks, "So how are we going to get to Pikachu and the others?"
Golly says, "I know, Mimikyu, come on out!" Golly sends out her Pokemon and then she says, "Mimikyu hates Pikachu, so we can use that advantage to find them."
Ash says, "I see." Then with Mimikyu's help, they manage to find Togedemaru on top of the building, but Team Rocket are also there.
"You three again?" Ash asks as they hear Pikachu crying for help. "Pikachu! Hang in there." Ash yells at him.
Sophocles says, "Ash, tells PIkachu to use Thunderbolt." Ash nods as Pikachu does it, but Team Rocket just laugh, "And what can it do since it won't hit us?"
But then Togedemaru uses its Lightning Rod ability and then Sophocles says, "Now use Zing Zap!" Then Togedemaru hits them and then she sends them flying. Ash also asks Rowlet to save Pikachu in the end.
Once Pikachu is safe, Togedemaru hugs Pikachu and then Rotom says, "So absorbing Thunderbolt to power up its electricity...that is amazing. Data Update-roto."
"It seems like you two can be good partners." Golly says. Then they all go to the control room to restore the electricity. As they are going back home, Ash says, "Oh no...the main purpose of going here...how can we forget..."
Golly pales as she also remembers. "What should we do?"
"There you are." Just then, they see Aurora walking towards them. "Mom? You are back this early?"
"Well, it seems like the meeting goes well than I expected." Aurora says.
"Mom, we are sorry that the food in the fridge..." Golly says.
"It's fine, we can go eat at Aina's Kitchen." Aurora says, "Sophocles, how about you come with us as well?"
"Of course! I want a mixed barbecue and large fries!" Sophocles yells.
"I want to eat that too." Ash says.
"Then last one to get there is a rotten egg." Golly rushes off and Sophocles says, "No fair!" "Wait for me!" Ash yells as they all run. Aurora sighs and says, "They sure are so young." Then she also rushes after them.
