1. Alola to New Adventure

To my readers-I'm sorry that I took down both fanfics. I really am. Both fanfics needed a complete overhaul and needed to be redone. I know that in the past, people have asked me if I was planning on doing the movies as well. I still havent decided if I'm doing to do the movies in the Pokemon franchise but I am going to do all of the regions, from Kanto to Alola. I also havent decided if I'm going to do the Galar region yet. I will say this: Anyone who doesnt like the way I write my fanfics and I mean any of my fanfics, you have a choice to make. Either read another fanfic of the franchise or go write your own. I'm literally having no negativity in my fanfics. Leave a positive review and Happy reading!

I DO NOT OWN POKEMON AND ITS FRANCHISE! I ONLY OWN THE OC AND THE CREATOR OF HER POKEMON TEAM (MEANING THE POKEMON THAT THE CREATORS HAVE ON THE SHOW)! THIS GOES FOR ALL POKEMON SEASONS!

"All right! Whoo-hoo! This is awesome!" shouted Ash as he and Pikachu were riding a Pokémon in the water.

"Pika!" shouted Pikachu.

"Yeah! Right, Pikachu?" Ash asked.

"Pikachu!" shouted Pikachu as Ash laughs.

Narrator: This is Melemele Island, one of the several islands in the Alola Region.

Jordan, popping up: And this is our first time in Alola, too.

Lobo, popping up next to her: Growlithe!

Narrator: Ash, Pikachu, Jordan and Lobo are in the middle of a vacation on the island, and they're having an absolute ball!

Jordan: Yeah we are!

"All right!" said Ash. "Full throttle, Sharpedo!"

"Sharpedo! Shar!" said Sharpedo, taking Ash and Pikachu at full speed as it jumps through the air before going underwater. Once underwater, Ash and Pikachu see many different Pokémon. Ash sees a Pokémon alone on the rocks and Sharpedo takes him towards it. Soon as Ash touched the Pokémon, a white hand comes out, giving him the peace sign.

"Ah!" Ash screamed in the water.

"Pika!" screamed Pikachu as Ash gives the Pokémon a peace sign as well. Above the water, a girl with blue hair was sitting on Lapras, fishing as Sharpedo brings Ash and Pikachu up for air.

"Rakakakaka!" said a Pokémon as it fails out of the water on the fishing wire, scaring Ash and Pikachu. Just then, Ash falls back into the water.

"Pika." said Pikachu as Ash surfaces.

"Made it, buddy." said Ash. The girl on Lapras giggles as her Pokémon claps its flippers at him, causing Ash to join in.

"The famous Alola Pokémon jet ski." a woman said. "So, what did you think?"

"Man, it was super fun!" said Ash as he takes off his life jacket.

"That's great. Come back again soon." said the instructor.

"Right!" said Ash, then pets Sharpedo. "Thanks, Sharpedo!"

"Pika, pika." said Pikachu.

"Sharpedo." said Sharpedo.

"Exeggutor. Exeggutor. Exeggutor." said a very tall Exeggutor walking past as a little cat Pokémon walks up, sniffing the ground.

"Meow." said the Pokémon before laying down in the sand. As it was cleaning itself, it looks up to see Ash and Pikachu racing each other.

"You won't beat me." Ash tells Pikachu.

"Pika! Pika!" shouted Pikachu as he gets ahead of Ash. Ash picks up a little more and without looking, he accidentally steps on the Pokémon's tail.

"Sorry!" said Ash as the Pokémon sends its ember attack at him. "Oh, man!"

"Pika. Pika. Pika!" Pikachu said as he touches Ash's burning face. At the hotel, Delia, Mr. Mime, Jordan and Lobo were by the pool.

"Blue water, white fluffy clouds and this delicious Pinap juice." said Delia as she take a sip. "Mm! It's so refreshing."

"You bet it is." said Jordan, sitting under the umbrella not far from her.

"Mr. Mime! Mime!" said Mr. Mime, stretching.

"Hey, Mom! Jordan! I'm back!" shouted Ash as he runs up.

"Hope you had fun, Ash!" said his mom.

"Sure did." said Ash. "We went diving with a Sharpedo! Saw lots of Pokémon I've never seen before! Yeah!"

"Pika! Pika!" said Pikachu.

"You should've joined me, Jordan." said Ash, turning to his sister and sees her glaring at him.

"I would've but you and Pikachu left without us." she tells him, crossing her arms in front of her.

"Growlithe." said Lobo

"Oops. Sorry." said Ash.

"Pikachu." said Pikachu.

"Yeah…" said Jordan.

"That does sound like fun!" said Delia as Jordan nodded. "We have Mimey to thank for winning the tickets for our Alola vacation."

"Thank you, Mr. Mime." said Jordan, hugging the Pokémon.

"Growlithe." said Lobo, jumping up onto Mr. Mime and licking its face.

"Thanks very much, Mimey." said Delia.

"Mime, Mime, Mime." said Mr. Mime, as though saying it was the luck of the draw.

[Flashback]

Mr. Mime entered a contest and drew the winning color. Ash and his family heads up to Professor Oak's lab.

"Here." said Delia, handing over Pokéballs.

"No problem." said Professor Oak as he turns around towards his desk. The small family gets on an airplane and flies to Melemele Island.

"We're here!" they shouted.

[Flashback ends]

"So, shall we get changed and get going?" asked Delia.

"Where to, mom?" asked the brother and sister.

"Why, to Professor Oak's cousin's place." she replied.

"Right. I forgot." said Ash.

"I forgot that he had a cousin." said Jordan.

[Flashback]

"This will work out just fine!" said Professor Oak, holding a container with a Poke-egg inside. "I was worried about how I'd get this to my cousin in the Alola region. Now, I'm not!"

"Wow, an egg!" said both siblings.

"What kind of Pokémon is it?" asked Ash.

"You'll just have to wait for it to hatch to find out." said Professor Oak.

"Oh, man." said Ash.

"Count on us! We'll get it there." said Delia. Out of nowhere, Noah appeared and grabs ahold of Jordan.

"Noah!" said Jordan as she gets pulled into a Kadabra hug.

"Kadabra." said Noah.

"Growlithe." sighed Lobo as she pushes Noah away.

[Flashback ends]

"Wow." said Ash as he and his family were pulled in a rickshaw by a Tauros.

"Mime, Mime!" said Mr. Mime.

"Our first Pokémon taxi." said Ash.

"This feels nice." said Jordan, who was sitting between her mother and Mr. Mime.

"This is the best ever! Oh!" said Ash.

"Pikachu!" said Pikachu.

"(moos)" said Tauros, looking back at Pikachu.

"Here in the Alola region, we use the power of Pokémon to go anywhere and everywhere." said the driver. "We refer to these Pokémon as ride Pokémon."

"Cool." said Jordan.

"Growl." said Lobo, curiously watching Tauros.

"Pika!" said Pikachu, seeing Tauros' tail flick behind it.

"For land travel, take a land ride Pokémon. Flying, you take an air ride Pokémon." The driver explained. "On water, a water ride Pokémon." Jordan and Lobo look at Pikachu, trying to grab Tauros' tail.

"Growl…." said Lobo, trying to stop him.

"Pik." said Pikachu.

"So, that Sharpedo was a water ride Pokémon." said Ash as he grabs Pikachu from getting the tail.

"Ho-ho! It sounds to me like you've already been trying things out!" said the driver.

"Where are we taking the egg?" asked Ash.

"To a place they call the Pokémon school." said Delia.

"Pokémon school, huh?" asked Ash.

"I never heard of the Pokémon school." said Jordan.

"Me either." said Ash.

"Sounds interesting, doesn't it?" asked Delia.

"Sure is." said Jordan.

"Mime." said Mr. Mime.

"Yeah." said Ash.

"Mime, mime, mime." said Mr. Mime, tapping Delia's leg to get her attention.

"My, my! Look at all those delicious berries!" Delia exclaimed. "Maybe I'll buy some as a gift."

"The berries at this market are always fresh and delicious!" said the driver.

"Sounds great!" said Delia.

"Mr. Mime!" said Mr. Mime as he looks at the berries in his hands.

"It's so hard to make a decision." said Delia. Behind her, Ash and Jordan stretched their arms.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"Growl." said Lobo. Just as they were passing a grassy patch, a new Pokémon popped out from the ground. "Huh?" said the siblings.

"Pika! Pika?" said Pikachu.

"Growlithe!" said Lobo, jumping back from the Pokémon.

"It's a Pokémon. So cool!" said Ash.

"What kind of Pokémon is it though." said Jordan.

"Wow! I wonder what its name is!" said Ash, getting a closer look at it when suddenly, the Pokémon grabs him by the nose.

"Hey!" shouted Jordan, trying to get the Pokémon off her brother. "No one gets to do that but me."

Finally, the Pokémon lets go of Ash's nose and burrows back into the ground. "Okay, lets catch it, you guys." said Ash.

"You read my mind, Ash." said Jordan.

"Pika!" said their Pokémon and the four of them ran after the borrowing Pokémon.

"Hm." said Delia, sniffing the berry in her hand. "Ash, Jordan, look. Huh?"

"Mime, mime?" asked Mr. Mime as he and Delia turned around to see that both brother and sister were gone. In the forest, the burrowing Pokémon was running from the siblings.

"Hey, slow down." said Ash, panting.

"Yeah, one of us is younger than the other." said Jordan.

"Pika!" shouted Pikachu.

"Growlithe!" shouted Lobo. In the trees, an Island guardian looked at the siblings with great curiosity and quickly followed them. The Pokémon that the siblings were after jumped out of the ground. Ash tries to catch it before it went back into the ground.

"Now where did that Pokémon go?" asked Ash as he and Jordan went digging after it.

"It can't stay in the ground forever." said Jordan. "It has to eat at some point."

Just then, a couple of berries fell on their heads, causing them to look up. "Huh? Oh." they both said.

"Pika?" said Pikachu.

"Growl?" asked Lobo.

"Huh? Where are we?" asked Ash.

"I don't know. I was following you." said Jordan.

"Weird." said Ash, then takes his sister's hand.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"Growlithe." said Lobo.

"Guess we missed it." said Ash.

"Yeah." said Jordan.

"Man, that's too bad. Oh, well." he said as Pikachu and Lobo eat the berries. "Where are we supposed to take that egg again?"

"To the Pokémon school." said Jordan.

"Oh yeah. That's right." said Ash. "Thanks Jordan."

The Island Guardian, who was watching from afar, sped away, knocking a berry from a tree branch. The berry landed on something pink, causing it to moan. "A Pokémon!" exclaimed Ash as he and Jordan hear a moan in the forest. Out of the bushes, a bear like Pokémon came out. "Oh, wow!"

"Pika!"

"That's one cute Pokémon." said Jordan.

"Bewear." squealed the Pokémon, waving its arms in the air.

"Bewear?" asked Jordan, titling her head as Ash giggles.

"Lithe?" asked Lobo.

"Look, its waving." said Ash as they walked towards Bewear. "You sure are cute." Bewear screams as its right arm breaks a tree in half. "Ah!" shouted Ash and Jordan.

"Pika! Growl!" said Pikachu and Lobo. Bewear then takes off, knocking down trees as it goes. "Now what?" asked Ash.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"This is what I'm thinking, Ash…" said Jordan. "I don't want that Bewear."

"Growl." said Lobo. Bewear squeals as the four of them ran for it. "Move it!" shouted Ash.

"No need to tell me twice!" shouted Jordan.

"Pikachu!" screamed Pikachu.

"Growlithe!" yelped Lobo.

Bewear, still squealing, chases after them. Just as the brother and sister went over a tree branch, the island Guardian rushes past Bewear. Bewear looks up and sees that Ash and Jordan were gone. "Bewear?" asked a confused Bewear.

"What was up with it?" asked Ash as he and Jordan slowed down.

"I don't know." said Jordan, bending over to catch her breath.

"Pika, Pika." said Pikachu.

"Growlithe, Growl." said Lobo.

"Huh? What's that?" asked Ash, seeing something fly past them overhead. "A Charizard? Must be an air ride Pokémon."

"Let's go check it out." said Jordan.

"Great idea! Pikachu, Jordan, Lobo. Let's follow it!" said Ash.

"Pika!" said both Pokémon in agreement. The siblings ran out of the forest and onto what was the Pokémon school. Kids chattering and laughing was heard. "Ah! Huh?"

"Pika!" Not far from them, a girl with blond hair looks over. Next to her were three Pokémon. "Whoa!" said Ash, giggling.

"Pika!" said Pikachu, jumping down from Ash's shoulder.

"Ashy…" said Jordan, grabbing ahold of her brother.

"It's okay, Jordan." he said, wrapping an arm around her and pulls Jordan into a hug before both of them ran towards the fence. "So many Pokémon."

"No, look out!" said the girl.

"Huh?" said Ash as he and Jordan looked up to see three Tauros were on the track.

"Stop! Stop it, Tauros! Come on!" said a girl with green hair. Ash and Jordan were on the ground, stomped on by accident by the Tauros.

"Pi-Pi-Pi." said Pikachu as he and Lobo ran towards the siblings.

"Growl?" asked Lobo.

"Are you okay?" asked the girl.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine." said Ash, putting his hat back on and helps Jordan up, checking to see if she was injured. "Actually, I'm good at dealing with Tauros."

"I'm okay, Ash." said Jordan, causing him to smile and turn back to the girl.

"See, I caught some." He explained. A Tauros walks over to Ash and Jordan, mooing as it smiles. The girl screams as she hides behind Ash. "Hi there." said Jordan, petting the Tauros.

"Pika? Growl?" asked Pikachu and Lobo, looking at each other before looking up at the girl. She looks down at both Pokémon and squeals, backing away from them. "Hey, you're acting like you're scared of Pokémon." said Ash.

"She reminds me of someone back who." said Jordan, thinking. "But who though…."

"I am not scared. I love Pokémon…at least from a research point of view." she tells him.

"I'm sorry." said the girl with green hair. "The two of you came out of the forest so quickly like that. I couldn't stop."

"Thing is, Lillie can't touch Pokémon." said the chubby boy.

"I can touch them, theoretically that is, if I really, really wanted to." said Lillie as Pikachu jumps onto Ash and Jordan pets Lobo. "I just choose not to."

"Don't worry." said the girl. "Don't get all frustrated and one day you'll be able to, if you want."

"That's right." said the girl who Ash saw earlier that day.

"Ah! You! I saw you at the ocean fishing!" Ash exclaimed.

"For Bruxish." said the girl with blue hair.

"Hey, you know this guy?" asked the girl with green hair.

"I'm Ash Ketchum and this is my little sister, Jordan." said Ash, introducing himself and Jordan. "We came from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region! And this is my good buddy, Pikachu."

"Hi." said Jordan, smiling. "This is my buddy, Lobo."

"Nice to meet you!" said the brother and sister.

"Pika! Growl!" said Pikachu and Lobo.

"So, what is this place?" asked Ash.

"It's the Pokémon school." said the girl with green hair.

"We've heard of the Pokémon school! What do you know, this is it." said Ash.

"So…big." said Jordan with big eyes.

"I guess you must've gotten lost." said the green haired girl.

"I guess." said Ash.

"Brothers." said Jordan, shaking her head.

"I'll show you both around!" said the green haired girl, taking both their hands.

"Really?" asked Ash.

"Bounsweet!" said Bounsweet, the little Pokémon on the girl's shoulder.

"Pika." said Pikachu, smelling Sweet Scent.

"Come on, this way!" said the green haired girl.

"Hey, you don't have to pull so hard!" said Ash.

"Or grip me that tight." said Jordan.

"Pika! Growl!" said Pikachu and Lobo once they and the others entered the Pokémon school.

"Check it out!" said the brother and sister, running towards a set of bones.

"What's that?" asked Ash. "So cool! Awesome!"

"Not again." said Jordan, as her brother went over to a window and looks outside. "Ash!"

"This is great." said Ash. "Where am I again?"

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"Forgive my brother." Jordan said to the green haired girl. "He gets distracted easily sometimes."

"Rowl!" said Lobo.

"I understand." said the green haired girl, who introduced herself as Mallow, when they both walked up to Ash. "I told you. It's the Pokémon school. It's a place where Pokémon and students all study together."

"Cool. Rowl." said Jordan and Lobo as Mallow knocked on the door.

"Principal, sir? I brought a couple of new students." she said.

"New students?" asked Ash and Jordan. "No! No! No!"

"Ash? Jordan? You both finally made it." said Delia as Mr. Mime opened the door.

"It's our mom." said Ash.

"Hi mom." said Jordan.

"Glad you could join us." said Delia.

"Alola, Ash and Jordan! Welcome to the Pokémon school, home of Solrock and roll!" said Principal Oak as he comes out of his office.

"Professor Oak, what are you doing here?" asked Ash.

"Rowl?" asked Lobo.

"Before I ask what he means, I'm really seeing double." said Jordan, then holds out her arm. "Wanna do the honors?"

"Sure. If only you do the same to me." said Ash, then pinches her.

"Ouch." said Jordan, then looks up at Principal Oak then pinches her brother who winces in pain. "Yeah, it's the real thing. We're not dreaming."

"People tell me we look alike. I guess that's why you recognize me." said Principal Oak. "The name is Samson Oak."

"He's the Pokémon principal." said Mallow.

"Nice to meet you!" said Principal Oak, making his hands in a weird position.

"Nice to meet you too!" said Ash and Jordan.

"He always makes jokes, playing around with Pokémon names." said Mallow.

"We all need a little fun." said Principal Oak. Jordan walks up to Principal Oak and pulls on his shirt. "Yes?" he asked as he goes down to her level.

"I just want to say that if my mom decides to enroll my brother here, I enroll as well." Jordan tells him. "Ash and I are a package deal."

"Growlithe." said Lobo. Principal Oak smiles as Mr. Mime adjusts his glasses.

"A little dose of levity and laughter is what my rant is for!" said Principal Oak as he goes back into his office with Delia and Mr. Mime, leaving the trio confused.

"Mime." said Mr. Mime as Pikachu, Lobo and Bounsweet run around him.

"After we chased after Charizard, we kind of just wound up here." Ash explained.

"So that means, you're really not new students here after all." said Mallow.

"I never got to really explain for me and my sister." said Ash.

"Which you should've done in the first place, Ash." said Jordan.

"It's my fault." said Mallow. "I'm in such a hurry all the time, I can miss things."

"Hey Samuel! It's me! I got your egg safe and sound." said Principal Oak, connecting to Professor Oak's lab in Kanto.

"Excellent Samson! That's what I like to hear. Thanks to you, Delia." said Professor Oak.

"It's my greatest pleasure." said Delia.

"Hi, Professor Oak." said Jordan.

"Hello Jordan." said Professor Oak.

"Kadabra?" said Noah, hearing Jordan's voice and pops into view. "Kadabra, Kadabra."

"Noah, no!" said Jordan, pointing to the screen. "Don't you even think about it."

"Kadabra, Kadabra." begged Noah, standing beside Professor Oak.

"Growlithe, Growl." Lobo scolded her friend.

"Um…what's going on?" asked Mallow, baffled at the situation.

"You see…." said Ash, scratching the back of his head. "Noah, who is my sister's Kadabra, has a unique attachment to her."

"Noah knows this." said Jordan, glaring at her psychic Pokémon. "And I'm trying to teach him boundaries."

Just then, Mallow came up with an idea. "Say, Principal Oak, sir, may I show Ash and Jordan around the campus?" she asked.

"Ah!" gasped the siblings.

"Of course! Porygon your way." said Principal Oak.

"Ready to go Ash? Jordan?" she asked.

"Yeah!" shouted Ash.

"Yes please." said Jordan, giving Noah one final look before leaving the office. Once out of the office, Mallow shows them her classroom. "Now, this is our classroom." she said, showing Ash and Jordan.

"Whoa." said Ash and Jordan.

"Pika."

"Growl." Ash runs over to the balcony and looks over the campus grounds. "Wow! This is so nice." said Ash.

"Pika! Pikachu!" said Pikachu.

"This is a fantastic view!" said Jordan.

"Lithe." said Lobo.

"And that's not all." Mallow said. "There's the field where you both met Tauros and there's the lake. The campus is huge and we learn all sorts of amazing things."

"Awesome!" said Jordan, smiling.

"Hi! A big Alola to you all!" said a man with a lab coat, walking into the classroom.

"Professor Kukui!" said Mallow.

"Professor?" asked Ash.

"Kukui?" asked Jordan as Lobo bares her teeth at him.

"Yeah, he's our teacher. Professor! I'd like you to meet Ash and his sister Jordan." said Mallow as she introduces the siblings.

"Principal Oak just filled me in." said Professor Kukui. "Hi Ash, Pikachu, Jordan, Lobo. The Pokémon school is a wonderful place! I hope you enjoy your visit here!"

"It's better than the school in Kanto." Jordan whispered to Lobo.

"Thank you." said Ash, poking his sister in the ribs.

"Yes sir, thank you." she said.

"Pika!" said Pikachu.

"Growlithe!" said Lobo. Outside they hear Charizard roaring.

"Huh?" said Ash. "Who are they?"

"Stopping our bikes was not the smartest of moves." said the leader of the group.

"Yeah, just like my bro said." said the boy next to him.

"Team Skull doesn't like anyone getting in our way." said Team Skull leader.

"You got that right!" said the Team Skull girl.

"I don't remember blocking the road." said the boy with red streaks in his hair. "The only people I can see getting in the way are you."

"Well, listen to the big talker." said the Team Skull leader. Behind the gate, Lillie and the others watched their friend. "Huh! I dare you to say that again!" said Black.

"Who are they?" Ash asked.

"They're part of Team Skull." said Mallow as Professor Kukui walked up behind her. "Always bullying us into a Pokémon battle. Not nice."

"If you can beat us in a Pokémon battle, maybe we'll let you walk away." said the Team Skull leader.

"Yeah, but if we beat you, then that Charizard of yours belongs to us!" said Black.

"Let me at them! Let me at them!" said Jordan reaching out towards the boy and his Charizard when Ash pulls her back.

"Jordan, no." he tells her.

"Growl! Growl!" said Lobo, baring her teeth once again.

"Pika, Pika." said Pikachu, pushing her back.

"You'll be sorry." said the boy with red streaks.

"Ha! We'll see about that. Come on out, Salandit!" shouted Blue.

"Yungoos!" shouted Black.

"Zubat!" said Pink. Three sets of the same Pokémon came out of the Pokéballs.

"Now, tell your Charizard to fight!" demanded Blue.

"Stop it!" shouted Ash, letting go of his sister and both of them ran over the bridge.

"Huh?" said Team Skull.

"But Ash! Jordan!" shouted Mallow.

"Who do you think you are?" asked Black.

"You're cowards, ganging up three against one!" said Ash.

"Cowards like you should never do it!" shouted Jordan with fire in her eyes.

"Ha! What are you going to do about it?" asked Blue.

"My sister and I will fight too. Are you ready?" asked Ash. "And you are…"

"Kiawe. But I don't need any help." said Kiawe.

"Those guys are really dangerous, you two." said Mallow.

"Looks like I'm gonna have to explain this to her and the others." said Jordan.

"Guess so." said Ash, then looks down at Pikachu. "Pikachu! Ready?"

"Pik." said Pikachu.

"Let's do it, Lobo." said Jordan.

"Growl!" howled Lobo.

"We choose you!" shouted Ash and Jordan.

"Pika!" said Pikachu.

"Growlithe!" said Lobo.

"Oh, my." said Professor Kukui.

"Don't hurt yourself." said Kiawe, taking out a Pokeball.

"Never in a million years." said Jordan.

"Now, Turtonator, come on out!" shouted Kiawe.

"Turtonator!" bellowed Turtonator.

"I wanna hug it." said Jordan.

"Wow! That's awesome! So, that's a Turtonator, huh?" asked Ash.

"A fire and dragon type. A strong and trusted friend. A wise one." said Kiawe.

"Now, Salandit, show them your strength with Venoshock!" shouted Blue.

"Yungoos, use bite!" said Black.

"Zubat, Leech Life!" said Pink.

"Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!" shouted Ash.

"Pika! Pik-Pik-Pik!" said Pikachu, running fast and dodging the Venoshock. "Pi, pi, pi, Pika!" Pikachu then leaves a trail of lightning behind at the Salandit.

"Lobo, use Flamethrower! " shouted Jordan.

"Growl! Growl!" shouted Lobo as she sends flames towards the Zubat, knocking them out of the sky.

"That's fast." said Kiawe. Turtonator growls and glares at the three Yungoos as they bite Turtonator's back, which then explodes.

"Oh-ho!" said Blue.

"What happened?" asked Ash.

"If something touches the spines on the shell, they'll blow up." said Kiawe.

"Good to know." said Jordan, making a note in her notebook.

"Wow." said Ash.

"Quick, Salandit, use Flame Burst!" shouted Blue. Salandit whips its tail around to attack. "Pikachu, you and Lobo dodge it and use Thunderbolt!" said Ash.

"Lobo, use Take Down!" said Jordan.

"Pika! Pikachu!" shouted Pikachu as he jumps into the air, sending a thunderbolt from his body.

"Growlithe!" shouted Lobo as she gives one Salandit a full body slam. All three Salandit became scared when both attacks came at them and knocked them down.

"Yeah, way to go!" shouted Ash and Jordan as the others cheered. Unknowing to the siblings, the island guardian watched them with definite curiosity.

"Oh!" said Blue as one Salandit struggles to get up.

"Pika!" said Pikachu as Lobo howls in victory.

"I'll finish this." said Kiawe.

"Huh?" said the brother and sister.

"All right! Turtonator, let's go!" shouted Kiawe.

"Turt!" said Turtonator.

"Ah!" said Ash as Jordan wraps herself against him.

"Pika!"

"Pi!"

"Oh-no!" said Blue.

"Uh-oh." said Pink.

"Could it be the move?" asked Black.

"The zenith…of my mind." said Kiawe as he starts his Z-move. Turtonator follows Kiawe as well. "Of body and spirit, like the great mountain of Akala! Become a raging fire and burn! Inferno Overdrive!"

"Turtonator!" bellowed Turtonator as a huge fire ball came out of it and fires right at Team Skull. All of the Pokémon of Team Skull was knocked out and couldn't battle any more.

"Ah. We won't forget this." said Blue as he and the others recalled their Pokémon.

"Yeah, just like my bro said." said Black as Team Skull takes off.

"If you use that move, you should tell us!" Blue shouted over his back as they drive away.

"Yeah, no fair." said Pink.

"He needs to keep an eye on the road before he causes a crash." said Jordan.

"Growlithe, Growl." Lobo said in agreement.

"Kiawe, what was that?" asked Ash.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"A Z-Move." said Professor Kukui.

"Z-move?" asked the siblings.

"Right." said Kukui.

"That's our Kiawe." said the chubby boy.

"You and Jordan were great too, Ash." said Mallow.

"Z-Moves are special moves passed down in the Alola region." Professor Kukui explained. "Alola consists of four islands and each of them has its own guardian Pokémon. Only those who participate in a ceremony called the island challenge are able to use Z-Moves."

"Wow! Island guardians, island challenge and Z-Moves too!" Ash exclaims as Professor Kukui wraps his arms around all three kids.

"Now that was a real Mega Punch level battle!" said Professor Kukui.

"Do I even want to know?" Jordan asked Mallow, pointing to the professor. Mallow shakes her head no. "Thought so."

"Hm!" said Kiawe.

"Pika?" asked Pikachu.

"Growl?" asked Lobo.

"Say, Ash, Jordan, you both seem to enjoy a good battle." said Professor Kukui.

"Yeah! I want to be a Pokémon Master!" said Ash.

"And I want to be the best Pokémon trainer in the world!" said Jordan.

"Oh, I see." said Professor Kukui.

"Pika. Growl." said Pikachu and Lobo. Suddenly, a couple of berries hit Ash and Jordan on the head. "Huh?" they said, looking up and sees the island guardian of Melemele.

"Who's that Pokémon?" asked the siblings.

"Pika? Growl?" asked their Pokémon.

"Huh?"

"Pokémon?"

"But where?"

"I don't see anything." said Mallow.

"It was right there." said Jordan, pointing to where it was. "The Pokémon was in the sky and I know it wasn't Charizard."

"She's never wrong." said Ash before the siblings turned to the others. "It was just there! It was a Pokémon for sure! It was yellow, about this big, with an orange crest on its head."

"It even looked like it had tattoos on it." Jordan added.

"That sounds like…" said Professor Kukui.

"Tapu Koko." said Kiawe.

"You saw Tapu Koko, Guardian of Melemele Island?" asked Lillie.

"Wow, guardian? That's what that was?" asked Ash.

"Should I be scared?" asked Jordan, holding Lobo in her arms. As night fell on the island, Ash, Jordan and their family were sitting at a restaurant.

"Mm! This is so good!" said Delia. Across the table, Ash and Jordan were thinking about Tapu Koko and the Pokémon school. "Anything interesting happened today?"

"Huh?" they asked their mother.

"You both seem distracted this evening." said Delia.

"Uh…" said Ash and starts giggling with Jordan joining in. Outside of the restaurant, Tapu Koko trilled.

"Huh?" said Ash and Jordan.

"Pika? Growl?" said Pikachu and Lobo. Ash and Jordan then see Tapu Koko fly past the restaurant. "Yeah, that was it." said Ash.

"I knew it looked like it was tattooed." said Jordan as they see Tapu Koko in a palm tree.

"Where are you two going?" Delia asked her children. "Pikachu? Lobo?"

"Pika! Growlithe!" said Pikachu and Lobo as they went after their trainers. The four of them were by a fountain when Tapu Koko trilled past.

"There it is." said Ash.

"Pika!" said Pikachu and Tapu Koko takes off.

"After it." said Jordan.

"Growl." said Lobo. The siblings and their Pokémon went after Tapu Koko until they were alone. Tapu Koko appeared before them.

"Wow." said Ash and Jordan.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"Growlithe." said Lobo.

"The Spirit Guardian. That's Tapu Koko." said Ash, walking up to the guardian with Jordan close behind. "Why do you keep coming to us? Is there something you want to tell us?"

"Yeah." said Jordan. In both of its hands, were bracelets. In each hand, both bracelets each held a different crystal. One held a yellow crystal while the other held a pink one as Tapu Koko sends both bracelets out to Ash and Jordan.

"What's that?" asked Ash.

"Pika?" asked Pikachu.

"I think Tapu Koko wants us to have these." said Jordan.

"Lithe, Growl?" asked Lobo, then sniffs the bracelet.

"That looks like what Kiawe was wearing." said Ash.

"But how are we going to use them?" asked Jordan.

"Tapu Koko." trilled Tapu Koko, then nodded its head. Ash and Jordan looked at each other than at Tapu Koko.

"Mm-hm." They said, nodding and both takes the bracelets that were floating in front of them. Yellow and pink lights came out of the bracelets and the siblings put them on.

"Pika." said Pikachu.

"Growl." said Lobo as Ash and Jordan gasped.

"Ko…Koko." said Tapu Koko before flying away.

"Koko." said Jordan, trying to imitate the island guardian.

"Hey!" shouted Ash as he and Jordan ran towards the railing but Tapu Koko had disappeared into the night. Ash and Jordan looked down at the bracelets they were wearing and smiled at each other.

The next day, Ash and Jordan, along with Pikachu and Lobo, were at Professor Kukui's house. "Professor Kukui's house is awesome!" Ash said to Delia. "You know what? There's a training room in the basement!"

"Pika!" said Pikachu. Not far from Ash, Jordan was whispering something in Professor Kukui's ear.

"Oh, I see." he said once she finished telling him. "I promise, I won't say anything."

"Thank you, Professor Kukui." said Jordan then quickly goes over to her brother.

"That's great!" said Delia. "I love seeing you, Pikachu, Jordan and Lobo having a good time."

"I agree, mom." said Jordan.

"And thanks mom." said Ash.

"Huh?" she said.

"When we said that we wanted to stay on the island, you said it was fine right off the bat." said Ash.

"Of course I did. I am your mother." said Delia. "So I had a feeling you both might ask me that. I was right."

"Ah!" said Ash. "We've got to go! Jordan and I start Pokémon school today!"

"Have a great time! Be careful and keep an eye on your sister!" Delia called after them.

"I will!" said Ash, putting on his backpack.

"Love you, mom!" said Jordan, putting on hers as well. Ash and Jordan went out the door and up the hill. "Ah!" said Ash, giggling as he and Jordan went.

"Pika! Pika! Pika! Pika!" said Pikachu. Ash and Jordan stop to look out at the beautiful ocean next to them.

"I'll race you there, you three!" said Ash.

"Pika!" said Pikachu.

"You're on, Ash!" said Jordan.

"Growlithe!" said Lobo with her tail wagging and the three of them take off.

"Hey! Wait!" Ash shouted after them.
