I woke up to my little brother Ash screaming in my ear. "Happy Birthday."
"Five more minutes." I groaned which made him pout.
"Elio in case you forgot this is your eleventh birthday and the day you go to the Alola." He said which made me shoot out of my bed grab my plan ticket, Get dressed in a pair of black shorts, a black t-shirt with Pikachu face in the middle, a blue cap with a Pokeball design, and a pair of blue crocs.
After I got dressed I run downstairs and saw my birthday breakfast which was three waffles and like ten pieces of bacon and I was about to scarf it down before my Mom yelled.
"Elio Ketchum, I worked hard on your breakfast and I'll be damned if I let you scarf it down in thirty seconds."
"Fine, but I have to hurry if we want to be on time," I said as I ate my food at a moderate pace.
After I finished eating I ran back upstairs to brush my teeth and take a shower
Then finally I finally ran back downstairs to meet Mom and Ash so they can take me to my flight to Alola.
We arrive at the Viridian airport thirty minutes before my flight and it takes us surprisingly ten minutes for all of us to get through security leaving twenty minutes to say goodbye to my family.
"I'm going to miss you Elio." My mom said as she gave me a hug as strong as a Bewear's.
"Mom people are staring," I said which only made her squeeze tighter.
She finally let go and then it was my brother's turn.
"Hey, Elio please try not to get too attached to Alola," Ash said hinting towards our promise.
"And break our promise, no way," I said as I pulled him in or a hug. If you're wondering what our promise was well you see me and Ash are born on the same date, but we are two years apart so we decided that I could take the Island Challenge and after a year I come back and we experience gym battles together.
I release him as my flight was called which made me begin to board, but as I was about to board mom yelled: "And remember to change your underwear!" She yelled which caused Ash to hold back a laugh as I hid my face with my hat in embarrassment and ran into the plane.
When I get on the plane and find my seat, decide that I want to take a nap. So I close my eyes then I eventually doze off.
I wake up to the sound of the intercom saying "we'll be landing at Hau'oli Airport shortly." So I stretch my arms out and check my phone for notifications and text messages. And as expected mom had sent a bunch of text messages asking if I was okay.
Mom: Hey honey how's it going.
Mom: Elio?
Mom: If you don't answer I'm calling the police
Mom: ...
Mom: That's it, I'm calling the police.
That was the last message probably meaning she actually called the police.
Me: Ok call off the search party I was just taking a nap.
Mom: That's no excuse, but fine
She goes silent for a while, but then she texts me that I have one less thing to worry about when I get to Alola.
"So she called the Alolan Police." I thought as I text her thanks and shoved my phone in my pocket.
After a couple of minutes, the plane lands the intercom says "We have landed in Alola please grab your belongs and exit the plane in an orderly fashion." Which made me grab the backpack that I was holding on my lap for the plane ride, and exit the plane and leave the airport.
"Hmm, maybe I should go to the Professor's Lab which should be..." I pause my thoughts to look up a map on my phone.
"Oh nice it's just right outside the city." I said before making a bolt for the lab by the beach.
As I run, I take in the scenery around me. From the bright buildings to the weird looking rattata it all amazed me "Wow you don't see nothing like this in Pallet Town." I said in awe.
I reach the lab and I knock on the door. A few seconds later I knock on the door again and this time I her a man yell "Alright I'm coming."
The door opens and I see a tan guy in a unbuttoned lab coat with no shirt underneath, gray sweat shorts, a white baseball cap, tinted glasses, and green close toed sandals.
"How's it goin' cousin I'm Professor Kukui." He greeted me.
"Um are we related?" I asked confused by his strange greeting. (A legitimate thought I had during my first playthrough of sun )
He looked slightly amused at my answer, but he still cleared it up, "Uh, no. I call everyone cousin, even people I don't know" He muttered the last part.
"Speaking of which who are you." He asked which reminded me to introduce myself.
"Oh sorry, My name is Elio Ketchum and I flew here from the Kanto Region to take part in the island challenge and I came here for my starter pokemon.
"Oh come with me I was about to get another challenger who just moved here from Kanto so she can pick her starter pokemon." He invited.
"Sure I'll go with you I want to get my starter already." I accepted as I bolted through the door.
We reached the house and Kukui knocks on door the after a bit he just walks in.
"Dude what the heck this is breaking and entering!" I yelled.
"Don't worry about that I do this all the time and no one minds." He said and continued in as I sighed and walked in behind him.
"Hey there, Selene! The name's Kukui. Good to meet you, cousin!" He shouted as if she was a mile away.
"Um hi, but can you speak quietly meowth tends to get cranky when disturbed for his nap." She said.
"Ahem" he clears his throat as he blushes.
"Sorry 'bout that.You gotta be tired after that long trip all the way out here to Alola. You feelin' any jet lag? We sure are a long way from Kanto out here in Alola. It's still nighttime out here, yeah..."
I blanked out as they talked about stuff I already had knew cause mom made damn sure that I studied on this Region since I had nothing else to do.
I snapped back when I heard Kukui calling my name over and over.
"Elio, Elio, come on cousin we got to go." He said.
"Alright, I just blanked out for a bit." I said irritated.
"Well good cause we need to head to Iki Town for our starters." Selene said which got me to spring up at the mention of starters.
"Alright let's move out." Said as Kukui lead us to Iki town."
