Okay, seems like everyone is okay with the eventual Primarina and Samurott pairings. You will see other Pokémon and People pairing, it there's one you want to see let me know. Also if you're wondering when Ash will reunite with some of his girls. I'm planning to have Ash, to go on a short travel sometime after chapter 40. And I am planning something, fun for his brief travel. But I there's something I want to ask, for my surprise I want to know which two of Ash's current Pokémon you want to see work together, from the Pokémon he has now, and ones he'll get in the upcoming chapters. I won't tell you what the surprise is but I'm sure you'll figure it out. So please let me know. Now back to the story.
As the sun was up in the Alola region, Pikachu and Rockruff were playing outside as Ash was preparing for school. Once he was done, he went outside to check on the two, before leaving.
"I'll see you at class Kukui."
Ash as said goodbye to Kukui, he went up Rockruff. Placing his egg down, he began scratching Rockruff chin. Once he was done he picked up his egg, as they began heading to the school. Along the way passed Lana, and Popplio who were at the beach practicing something. Once they were there, he said hello to his classmates, as he placed his backpack down. Opening it up, Rowlet suddenly fell out of it.
"I was wondering where you were." He said.
"So Rowlet was inside your backpack again." Rowlet stated.
Once Ash returned Rowlet to his Pokéball, Lana arrived soon after, and a little bit after the Professor also joined. Once class began the Kukui began teaching them, about Water types. Once the lesson was done, he then informed them on the lesson plan for tomorrow.
"Okay class, tomorrow we will be working with marine Pokémon. So that means we're heading out to sea." He began, "Your trump card for befriending marine Pokémon is a fishing rod." Kukui added, pulling a fishing rod, with a Rockruff lure, from his lab coat.
While continuing talking about tomorrow, outside the class Team Rocket was spying on Ash.
"We spy, and what does it show us?" Jessie asked.
"The twerps a school boy." James added.
"He doesn't strike me as studious." Meowth said.
"Wobbuffet."
But before they could continue, they heard someone talking to them.
"Alola. Who are you a sight for Bulbasaur eyes?" Samson Oak, asked with a smile.
"Hi nice to see you." Meowth, while waving and with a sweat drop.
"Where tourist of the friendly sort." James added.
"We're just passing through the neighborhood." Jessie said, before the three of them disappeared into the bushes, and then grabbing Wobbuffet.
"Come and join are school any time." Samson said, as they left.
After hiding in the bushes, they decided to discuss their next plan. Since Ash was going to school, they decided to follow him, and since his schedule.
Back in class, Prof. Kukui informed the class that Lana would help with the lector tomorrow. Once class was over, Ash decide to practice some fishing, so after racing to Kukui's place, he grabbed his rod, and lure he went to beach to practice. Once he arrived he saw Lana was also there.
"Hey Lana what are you doing here?" Ash asked.
Noticing Lana the smile on her face grew a little. "Hi Ash, I was just practicing with Popplio."
"What were you practicing, and can I help?" He asked politely.
"Popplio was practicing on her water balloons." She answered.
"Water balloons?" Ash asked.
Seeing Ash confused, Rotom gave the info on Popplio.
Popplio, the Sea Lion Pokémon. A Water type. Popplio can control water balloons, and works hard so it can make bigger balloons.
"I see, so is that what guys were working on when I saw you guys in the morning?"
Nodding, she continued, "This is our favorite spot."
"Favorite spot?"
"This is where we met." Lana started the story.
"On that day, 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 explain 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 terrible hurt. I didn't want her to hate humans. And that's why I choose her to be my partner." Lana said has she finished her story.
Ash was touched by her story, it was similar to some of his own Pokémon story.
"That's great, glad you meet Lana." Ash said to Popplio, as she bark in return.
"Balloon practice sounds great, good like." Ash continued, only to get another bark in return.
Lana then explained why they were practicing. Apparently her dream was too able, to ride one of Popplio's balloons across the ocean, meeting all the marine Pokémon.
Before Popplio began its training, Lana asked Ash a question.
"So Ash where planning on training?"
"No, I came here to practice some fishing for tomorrow." He said, as he show her his fishing rod.
Noticing the lure she asked, "Where did you get that lure?"
Slightly confused, he looked at his lure, before understanding what she meant.
"Oh, this was given to me, by my friend Misty, who I traveled with throughout Kanto, Orange Islands, and Johto, and now she is the Cerulean Gym Leader. If fact, you two would have gotten along." He said.
"Really?"
"Yeah, she loves Water Pokémon."
This made Lana smiled, it would nice to meet another Water type trainer. Deciding it was time to get back to practicing, she was about to instructed Popplio, when one of Ash's Pokéballs opened up.
"Dewott." The Discipline called out.
"Ash, why did Dewott come out of its Pokéball?" Lana asked.
"Sometimes, Dewott let himself out on his own." He answered.
Dewott, simple looked around, and seemed to be happy at the beach. Once his eyes landed on Popplio, his eyes turn heart shaped, as he got close to Popplio, who looked at him in confusion.
"Ash what's with your Dewott?" Lana asked.
Looking at Dewott, Ash was slightly confused at what was happening. Until he realized what, was going on. He laughed slightly, before explaining to Lana.
"Looks like my Dewott got a crush on your Popplio."
This surprised Lana a bit, as she watched Ash's Dewott, try to get closer to her Popplio. Eventually her Popplio realized what was going on, before she turned her head, with a huff, and a slight blush on her cheeks.
Dewott who didn't see the blush, had a look of shock, before he fell to the ground, with what looked like a heartbroken expression. Deciding to let Lana practice he picked up Dewott.
"Well if you want help, let me know, I'll head a little further down the beach, so we don't disturbed you."
"Thank you Ash."
Nodding, Ash went to grab his egg that he placed down, before walking further down the beach. After placing his egg down, he also place Dewott down, who still had a sad look.
"Hey don't look so sad, I'm sure with time, you'll be able to charm Popplio."
This seemed to cheer Dewott, as he nodded before getting up. Deciding to let his other Pokémon out, he threw his Pokéballs. Once they were out, he told them that they could just relax and play. Nodding, most of them went to play in the sand or in the water, except Ralts, who just stayed by Ash's side. Casting his rod, Ash just waited patiently for something to bite. While waiting Ash turned to watch Lana and Popplio practice. He couldn't, help but feel attracted to Lana, her beautiful blue eyes, fair skin, and gorgeous blue hair. Shaking his head to disrupt his thoughts, he tried to go back to concentrating on fishing.
Contrary to popular belief, he wasn't dense, he just wanted to concentrate on his journey, and then worry about finding someone. Still over the year, he has put some thought on who he would date, he found out a lot of the girls he met fit that category. Of course there were a few exception, his friend Misty for one. He always thought of her as a best friend, and an older sister. Then there was Dawn, she was always like a little sister to him. When it came to Iris, it was clear obvious she was a friend, an only a friend at that. Ash's attention was then broken, when he his line was being pulled. Grabbing his rod, he began reeling it in, whatever was on the line it was definitely putting up a fight.
After struggling for a minute or two, he managed to reel in a brown fish, with blue fins.
"Woah, a Feebas!" He shouted.
His Pokémon then gathered to see it, deciding to catch it, he had Grubbin battle it.
"Grubbin, use String Shot."
Launching the attack, it pulled Feebas from the ocean. Unfortunately Feebas launched itself, before hitting Grubbin with a Tackle.
"Grubbin ensure it with Electroweb." Ash countered.
Grubbin then shot out a spider web, than when it hit Feebas, it electrocuted it.
"Now finish it with Bug Bite." Ash called, the last attack.
Once it bit down, Grubbin tossed Feebas at the ground, knocking it out. Throwing a Pokéball, Feebas was sucked in, as it shook a few times before it stopped confirming capture. Once it stopped Ash picked it up, and thanked Grubbin, for his hard work. Rotom then scanned the new Pokémon.
Feebas the Fish Pokémon. A Water type. A tough Pokémon that is perfectly fine in even dirty water. However, due to its ragged, shabby appearance, it isn't popular. This Feebas is Male, and has the ability Swift Swim. It knows the moves Splash, Tackle, and Flail. Feebas also has the egg moves Mirror Coat, Hypnosis, and Dragon Breath that has not been unlocked yet.
Nodding at information, he looked at Lana, and Popplio, only to sweat drop, when the massive water balloon Popplio created popped. Which ended up, soaking Lana. Deciding to continue fishing, Ash once again began casting. A few hours went by with no luck, deciding it was time to wrap it up, he reeled in his line. Once he returned his team, he placed up his egg, and went over to Lana.
"So how did practice, come along?" He asked.
"Oh, Ash it went well, but I think were done for the day." She answered.
"Well, if you want, I could walk you home?" He offered.
Blushing a little at Ash's offer, she accepted as they all walked towards Lana's house. While walking there, Ash talked to Lana about his capture, in which she congratulated him. They continued to talk, until they reached Lana's house, once there Ash noticed a Lapras.
"Hey, A Lapras." He said.
"Yeah, she is my Ride Pokémon." Lana answered.
Ash suddenly had a longing look on his face, as Lana noticed.
"Is something wrong?"
Shading his head he answered.
"I use to have Lapras, I caught during my travel through the Orange Islands. I caught when it was just a baby."
He continued to talk about his Lapras, and his eventual release. Lana was touched by Ash's story. Suddenly the door to Lana's house, opened as it revealed a woman who looked like an older version of Lana, and two small girls, who looked like mini Lanas.
"Welcome home Lana, oh who's this?" The woman asked, noticing Ash.
"This is Ash, he the new student from class."
"Ah, I remember, Lana told me about you, I'm Lana's mother it's nice to meet you." Lana's mom said, as she introduced himself.
"It's nice to meet you to miss." Ash, said causing her to giggle.
"My, such a polite young man, and handsome too, I think he's a keeper honey." Lana's mother said, as she winked at Lana.
"Mom!" Lana shouted, with her face lit up. However her sisters would soon embarrass her even more.
"Lana, is he your boyfriend?" They asked at the same time. Lana's face further redden, as Ash also had a blush.
Shaking her head she answered, "He's not, he's not, he's not, he's not!"
"Are you, sure he's not your boyfriend?" They continued.
"I'm really, really, really sure." Lana said, completely embarrassed, while her mother couldn't help but laugh.
Once that was done, Ash said he had to get back, so Kukui wouldn't worry. After saying goodbye, Ash headed back to Kukui's house, but little did he knew he had been followed. Once he was back, he quickly fed his Pokémon, once he was done, he went to go eat, before going to bed. The next day, Ash woke up, had breakfast, and went to school, seemly forgetting the conversation, between Mallow and her family. When he arrived Mallow, also seemed to have forgotten, as their class made the way to docks, where Lapras, and Wailmer were waiting for them.
Lillie was also wearing what looked to be a space suit, which was to help her touch Pokémon. Sophocles, had a fishing rod, which he claimed could reel in a Wailord. Once they all gather they then headed out on the ocean. Once they found a spot, Lana began the lesson.
"This is the fishing spot, we will be using. There are lot of marine Pokémon here, some of them live in shallow waters, some in deep, and this is an unusual where to spots mingle. You can even catch Kyorge." Lana said, before Mallow interrupted.
"No way that happening, I told you to stop those stupid jokes Lana." Mallow replied, while Lana stuck out her tongue.
Soon everyone began casting their lines, as they waited something to bite. Sometime would go by with no one except Lana getting a bite. Suddenly Ash's line pulled suddenly, unfortunately he pulled to early, causing the Pokémon to get away, while Mallow pulled her line too late. Rotom pointed this out to the both, causing them to yell at him. Eventually Lillie caught a Milotic, but before she could bring it up close, it release the lure before getting away.
Deciding to take a break, they all went to a nearby small island, to rest. Once they Lillie took off, the helmet to her outfit, wiping the sweat off her face. As the Pokémon began playing, a large came down from the sky, and snatched all the Pokémon. Suddenly Team Rocket, appeared as they did their motto.
"What is with you guys?" Mallow shouted.
"Heads up school twerps." Meowth began.
"We've appointing Lapras, and Wailmer, Team Rocket's Ride Pokémon." James continued as their balloon continued to float away.
Ash grabbed several of his Pokéballs and released his Pokémon.
"Noctowl, Murkrow, Dewott, Galvantula, Rowlet, Steelix and Bulbasaur come on out!" He shouted, as his Pokémon came out.
"Noctowl, use Psychic."
The Owl Pokémon's eyes glowed, as a blue light appeared around Team Rocket's balloon, and began bringing it back. Noticing this, Team Rocket called some of their Pokémon as well.
"Yanmega, Swoobat, Frillish, and Mimikyu your up." Jessie shouted.
"Inkay, Carnivine, Amoonguss, and Cofagrigus, come out for the fight." James, followed.
"Noctowl use Air Slash." Ash began.
Noctowl, the created a light blue sphere as it launched it towards Team Rocket. However, Team Rocket was quick to counter.
"Yanmega use Ancient Power."
Creating a silver sphere the two attacks collided, causing an explosion. Suddenly a torrent of flame came through the smoke, and was heading towards Noctowl. Only to be intercepted by a vortex of water, overpowering the attack, and knowing down Seviper.
"Inkay use Foul Play."
Nodding Inkay began heading towards Rowlet, only to be hit with a Thunderbolt, from Pikachu. Seeing Pikachu, Mimikyu immediately shot a Shadow Ball towards Pikachu. Over the past few weeks, Team Rocket, found out that Mimikyu, had a hatred towards Pikachu.
The Shadow Ball was blocked by a beam of light that came from Ash's Galvantula. Carnivine then fired a Sludge Bomb, which was intercepted by Steelix's Dragon Breath. Taking advantage of the smoke, Bulbasaur began charging up a Solar Beam. Frillish than fired a Bubble Beam, that collided with Rowlet's Razor Leaf, and Murkrow's Night Shade. But then Frillish was hit with Bublasaur's Solar Beam, and Pikachu's Thunderbolt. The two attack, knocked out the Frillish, as Jessie angrily returned it.
"Swoobat, use Air Slash."
Launch its own Air Slash, it began heading towards Bulbasaur, before it was smacked away by Steelix's Iron Tail.
"Hey Lana."
"Yes, Ash?" Lana asked.
"Do you think Popplio, can make a Water Balloon big enough to help the Pokémon?" Ash asked.
Thinking it over Lana nodded, however Team Rocket heard this.
"Oh no you don't, Yanmega Bug Buzz."
"Amoonguss, use Energy Ball."
As the attacks came closer to Popplio, Dewott appeared in front of Popplio, and took both attacks, surprising everyone. However Popplio was the most surprised, and had a look of concern for Dewott. Dewott, then shouted his name before, charging towards Yanmega, catching it off guard before hitting it with an Aqua Jet, and Razor Shell combo. He then slashed Amoonguss with its Night Slash, knocking both Pokémon out. Taking the opportunity to finish this Ash called out his next attacks.
"Pikachu, and Galvantula his Swoobat with Thunder. Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf on Cofagrigus. Rowlet and Murkrow, Razor Leaf, and Night Shade on Mimikyu. Noctowl Sky Attack on Carnivine, and Steelix Flash Cannon on Inkay."
Launching their attacks, Team Rocket's Pokémon were overwhelmed, as they were knocked out. Returning their Pokémon, Team Rocket attempted to escape, but Dewott sliced the net, causing the Pokémon to plummet down, before Popplio created a water balloon large so large, it caught the Ride Pokémon and bounce them into the ocean. Rowlet, and Bulbasaur then fired a Razor Leaf, destroying Team Rocket's balloon, causing them to fall towards the ocean. Then suddenly, a Bewear appeared running on the water, and managed to catch Team Rocket, before running off with them.
After checking on the Pokémon, Dewott fell down tied after the battle. Popplio then went up to Dewott, before hugging it, saying thank you for saving it. Dewott, had a smile on its face, before returning the hug. The girls gushed at the hug, while everyone else simply smiled. Popplio was awarded the star of the day, for its water bubble, as everyone cheered for it.
