Alola Amour

Like I said I had an update for this, but I also want to drastically change the story, I have not watched the Sun & Moon anime so I have no concept of what is happening there and how the characters interact so I am changing it to fit as I see it. It will more corollate with the sun and moon games (more likely the Ultra games but I digress).

Ash: Did you finish this one in your notebook like the rest?

… No; but having the general idea of the premise should work just fine besides the rest of these chapters I've done more on the spot than anything else. But anyway, lets get started. Ash, if you wouldn't mind, could you do the disclaimer so I can find the music to accompany this chapter.

Ash: You got it.

Disclaimer

Drake Doesn't own the characters that aren't listed as his own characters, so pretty much everyone. Included.

They are owned by their respective owners Nintendo and Game Freak

Ok, thanks Ash. Let's get this show on the road.

Chapter 1

Alola to a new adventure

Music for this Chapter: The Pokémon Theme

Preferably covered by Amalee and Natewantstobattle but any version of the song works.

Ash's POV

After Serena and my exchange of affection at the end our Kalos adventure, my life became less adventurous. I was saddened by the thought that I would be able to see for a while.

Upon my return to Kanto I was greeted by a big welcoming party. I saw many of the people from Pallet Town there, but I also Brock and his many siblings and father along with Misty and her three sisters, I was shocked to see Gary there to greet me.

There were many exchanges between all of the greeting committee. "Congrats on getting further along in a region championship challenge." Brock congratulated. "Thanks, Brock, it's been a long while since we parted ways Brock; how's the Pokémon nursing training going?" I Asked. "I've nearly finished the program I have some exams coming up in the next few weeks, once I pass those, I'll be a fully-fledged Pokémon doctor." He replied. "That's awesome Brock, I hope you pass!" I said optimistically. "Thank you, Ash, I hope so as well." Brock replied.

I turned to face Misty. "It's been quite a while, hasn't it, Misty?" I said. She looked at me and nodded. "What was Kalos like?" She asked. "It was like kind of like a mashup of here and Sinnoh." I said trying to think about the full experience of traveling across the vast land that was Kalos.

"You nearly had it this Time, Ash." Gary said a little disappointed. "Ya it was a close finish, but Alain and his team were just better than my team." I replied. "See now you're not giving yourself enough credit; you both were at the last straw. If he were that much stronger, he would have beaten you with more Pokémon in his reserves, yet you guys ended close to a tie at the very end." Gary retorted. "He's right Ash, you had close to end, he just some-how overturned your team." Brock interjected. "I guess you're right, but I feel that I could have trained a little harder and maybe it would have changed the result of the battle." I contended.

"Hey what's done is done." Said a familiar voice. "What is that-?" I said curiously. "The one and only." He said. "Drake, it good to see you!" I said jubilantly. "It's been a while?" Drake replied. "I feel that's the theme of this get-together." I replied. "Ok, based on the knowledge I got from reading about the Kanto region." He paused to look amongst the people around me.

"You…" Drake said pointing at Brock. "Are the Pewter city gym leader, Brock, correct?" He said uncertain. "Yes!" Brock replied extending his hand to Drake for a formal handshake. "I heard from, Ash, that you were one of his companions that could out do anyone in a cooking competition." He said. "Really, how was that determined?" Brock questioned. "To tell you the truth I don't have a clue, Ash; care to enlighten us?" Drake said prying for information. "Oh, well, Drake, I guess you'll have to just compare with, Brock, on that as Ash's knowledge of both of your cooking is only what he can dictate." Chimed another familiar voice.

"Abby, it's good to see you!" I said delighted that she saved me from Drake's awkward comment. "It's nice to see you as well." Abby replied, "Drake, I thought you knew better than to force such arduous comments around." She said giving him, her signature glare. "What I can't give him a hard time." He retorted. "He just got back from saving the Kalos from Lysander & team Flare's assault on Lumiose City!" She contended. "Alright fair point."

"Anyway, Brock, you still up for a cooking contest?" Drake asked. "Perhaps that can be another activity at the party." Brock added. "Sounds good to me!" Drake replied.

A little bit later at the Ketcham household.

"Oh man, Ash, I can see why you would say he a good contender. Dah heck, I give; he is way better than me in the kitchen!" Drake said satisfying himself with the delectable wonders of Brock's cooking. "Thank you, Drake, but I have to give you credit for this meal, the tenderloin is so rich in flavor." Brock complimented back. "Brock that tenderloin is never going to outdo, this honey barbeque pork bun dish you made!"

I chuckled as I walked away from the pretentious conversation. I walked into the house to find Abby looking out the sliding glass door.

"Oh, hey Abby." I said, closing the sliding door behind me. "Yes, hello Ash." She replied, "It's quite the lively party?" She asked. "Ya, it looks like everyone is having a good time." I replied looking at all the guest having a joyous time amongst one another's company. "And yet, I can you that you don't look to be enjoying it as much as everyone else." Abby said, clearly reading me like an open book. "I won't lie, I wish I could be enjoying this party as much as everyone else." I replied. "You miss her, don't you?" She asked.

I nodded, "It hasn't even been a full day since we last saw each other." I replied, disappointed in my own will. "Hey, you don't need to beat yourself up over the fact that you came home." She said trying to console me, "Here, give me a moment." She said, getting up and moving towards the video phone.

Abby started dialing in a number and waited for whomever to pick up. She pressed the mute button. She then looked at me and back at the screen, she held up a figure to gesture for a moment, she then gestured for me to come to the phone. She pressed the mute button again to unmute the phone.

When I came around the phone, I saw Serena on the screen. "Will this work for now?" Abby asked. "I'll leave you two alone, for a moment." She said as she walked towards the sliding door.

"Hey, Ash!" Serena Said enthusiastically, "How's the party going?" She asked. "It's awesome, just wish you could have been here." I replied. "I wish I could as well." She said sympathetically, "It's just I'm caught up in this seasons performance; I really want to be on top this time." She replied. "Maybe we can see each other after the season." I suggested. "I hope so too." She hoped.

Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this redone version of my Amourshipping story. I really hope you guys enjoy how this story runs in the long haul.

Ash: Well saying as, in your absence people have still enjoyed reading the first one I think they'll enjoy this one.

Ya but now Abby and I are back in the equation again… That part didn't sell well last time.

Ash: That may be true but your writing has certainly improved. And your concept of holding a story has also improved.

Well, thank you, but even with some of those, I can't win everyone just with those.

Ash: Some fights you can't win with skill.

Yes force and skill are two different things and can win people over in so many ways, but I can only hope that I can maintain a good audience.

Ash: All with good time.

Yep… I think this closing segment has been going on for a little to long.

Ash: You're probably right.

Sorry guys… See you guys next chapter/story.
