Okay it seems like there was some confusion in the last chapter, the Pokémon there were the Pokémon the characters have caught or evolved while their time away. So if you have any suggestion for any Pokémon the characters should get, let me know. I have a question, when Ash head back to Kanto for a break, do you want Rowlet and Litten to be in their final evolved form or second stage. Let me know in the reviews.
It had been a few days since Ash had capture Shelgon, who was happy to be a part of this team. Since it had had been a week and a half since Ash rotated his team, it was time to rotate his team again. He decided to keep Feebas, Shelgon, and Ralts who was still clingy. She now had gotten use to Kukui, and his friends, even saying hello to them. As for Rowlet and Charjabug, who were sent back along with Bulbasaur, Noctowl, Dewott, Steelix, Murkrow, Galvantula, Aron, and Banette, while they we sad, they were glad to make new friends at Prof. Oak's Ranch, who was excited to study them. As for the additions, the Pokémon he brought back were his shedding Pokémon Scraggy, his Sound Wave Dragon Noivern, his first Ground type Donphan, a Shiny Axew, the Generator Pokémon Heliolisk, a Fossil Pokémon Tyrunt, and a powerful Eelektross.
He hadn't had the chance to see their move sets yet, but they were all extremely friendly, and were excited to begin training again. As he continued to walk to the school, a small black and red cat Pokémon appeared in front of him. It look a bit hungry, reaching into his backpack, Ash grabbed some extra Pokémon food he had. After grabbing a bowl he pour the food before pleasing it in front of it. Taking the time to gain information, Rotom began scanning the info.
Litten, the Fire Cat Pokémon. A Fire-Type. Litten shows few emotions and prefer being alone. It takes time to build any level of trust.
Once Rotom had finish, Litten had also finished the food, and looked at Ash for more. Smiling Ash then grab a Sitrus Berry from his backpack, before placing it in front of Litten, as it grabbed the berry before it left. Ash simply watched as Litten left, once Litten was out of sight, Ash continued to walk to school.
(With Litten)
Litten was currently running through back allies of several houses, carry the berry in his mouth. It suddenly came to a stop, as a larger cat-like Pokémon with grey fur, a large round head, and a blue gem on the forehead. Litten backed up as it hissed in anger, with the larger cat hissing back. Deciding to take the opportunity, Litten dropped its berry, as it fired an Ember. Only to be countered when the larger cat released a blue beam, which overpower the Ember. It then collided with the berry, as it destroyed it. With sadden look on his face, Litten knew he had no choice as he but to run back the he came. Seeing Litten run the larger cat gave a feral grin, as it left the area as well.
(Back With Ash)
When Ash arrived in class everyone greet him, like usual as soon as he took his seat, Kukui enters the class.
"Alright Class, today we're doing something a little bit different." Kukui began getting their attention.
"For today's lesson we will be watching some videos, of official Pokémon League battles. And each battle, we will talk about the advantages, and disadvantages each trainer had."
Everyone grew excited as Kukui began the video, the first video was a three on three battle, on a grass battle field. The trainer on the green side used a Starmie, and Seaking to go against a Golduck, Gyarados, and a Tentacruel, that belonged to the red trainer. It was clear the red trainer, had a better strategy, using his Starmie speed to his advantage, and its versatile move set to his advantage, while his opponent just attempted to use brute force. Once they we're done discussing the first battles, they moved on to the next battle, which had Ash.
Ash instantly recognized the battle, which was his first league battle. This caught everyone attention, as they all were excited to see his first league match. The battle started off with Ash's opponent Mandi, calling out an Exeggutor. Now unlick the Alola Exeggutor, which had a long neck, and long tail, this one only had shot neck with no tail. This was because an Alolan Exeggutor, looked different from other Exeggutor found outside of the Alola Region. Their typing also charge, with the ones from Alola Region being a Grass and Dragon Type, while the other where Grass and Psychic Types.
However while they were intrigued to see the Exeggutor, they were surprised to see Ash's choice.
"Got Krabby." The younger Ash, shouted as he released a small crab with a red top, and a white underside.
The battle began as Mandi, called for a Psywave attack. Hearing the commanding, Exeggutor unleash a series of psychic waves that headed towards the small crab. Seeing the Ash had his Krabby jump into the water to avoid the attack. However this is what Mandi wanted as his Exeggutor, used Psychic to create whirlpools that managed trap Krabby.
"Exeggutor, Egg Bomb attack."
Unleashing several white spheres into the air, the attack headed towards Krabby, who was still stuck in the whirlpool. However, the attack missed its mark, as all of the eggs missed Krabby, and only hit the water. But due to the whirlpool's suction Krabby was pulled under the water. However Krabby soon broke free from the whirlpool, as Ash called for a Vice Grip. Leaping from the water, Krabby latched onto Exeggutor leaves, and it struggle to get Krabby off. In an attempted to get Krabby, Mandi called for a Hypnosis attack. However it was no use, as Krabby strong Vice Grip, prevented the attack. Seeing his opportunity, Ash ordered a Leer attack, which was then followed by a Stomp attack. Following its commands Krabby's eyes glowed blue, as Exeggutor defense drop, then was smashed by Krabby's foot. This wasn't it for the Exeggutor, as it fell back with swirls in its eyes. The ref, then announced Krabby the winner.
Once Ash congratulated his Krabby, Krabby gave a small cheer, as he glowed. Krabby grew larger, as one of his claws, grew more massive than the other one. The light disappeared it reveal not Krabby but Kingler. Once the evolution was done, it was time for the next battle to begin. Taking another Pokéball Mandi released a blue Sea Horse that had large barbs on its fins. Lana managed to identify it as a Seadra, while hanging out with Lana, Ash found out that once every year, female Kingdra will lays their eggs in Kala'e Bay. And since Lana was an expert of Marine Pokémon and spends a lot of time fishing, she was used to seeing them, every now and then.
The match began with Seadra using Agility to increase its speed, along with trying to confuse Kingler. Ash would have his Kingler to try to counter it with a Bubble attack. But do to its speed, Seadra continued to move out of the way, even when Kingler switched to Water Gun. Unfortunately it would eventually be caught, and was knocked into the air where Kingler slammed it with a Crabhammer. Seadra was knock into to the pool, before it raised to the surface belly up, and with swirls in the eyes. Once again Kingler took another victory, as he gave a happy cheer, and Ash and Pikachu did a little dance.
Mandi who still had a confident smirk, called out a large blue bat, with a larger mouth, four fangs, and purple skin on the wings. It was a Golbat who looked ready for the fight, as it was flying around Kingler. To start off, Ash had Kingler dive under the water to prevent Golbat from attacking. However Mandi had a strategy, he called for a Take Down attack. Attempting to take advantage, Ash called for a Vice Grip. As Kingler leaped from the water, it managed to catch Golbat in its powerful grip, before it suddenly disappeared using a Double Team. Appearing behind Kingler, Golbat launched a devastating Razor Wind, causing Kingler to land hard on the platform.
"Now Golbat, we win with a Mega Drain." Mandi said confidently, unfortunately Golbat got too close, and this proved to be its downfall.
"Hyper Beam Now!" Ash shouted. With Golbat at a close distance, the power Hyper Beam did even more damage. It launch Golbat through the air, it landed painfully on platform. See that his Kingler won, Ash leapt to the platform, and gave his Kingler a hug.
Once the video ended, Kukui then asked Ash, how he won. Everyone turned to Ash as the waited for his answer.
"Well first, I just got lucky." He began getting a shocked look from his classmates. "This was my first league match, and I was nervous. But after taking the first two victories, I was able to keep myself calm. I also help that my opponent was arrogant, and I also had more trust in my Pokémon." Kukui nodded accepting the answer, as they continued to watch different battles.
Once class was done, Ash headed with Kukui into town to gather more supplies. After walking for a while, Litten suddenly ran by them. Seeing Litten, Ash decided to follow it, when it stopped in front of a stall. Running the stall, was an elder woman, who greeted them.
"Alola." She said.
"Alola." Ash greeted back.
He then noticed Litten eating some fruit from the bowl, and when it noticed him, Litten scampered off.
"Wait Litten." Ash called out. However Litten quickly disappeared from sight, he heard Kukui speaking with the woman.
"Does Litten came here often?" Kukui asked.
"Oh course, Litten comes here every day, honestly I think Litten enjoys looking after me." The woman answered.
However Ash had a thoughtful look on his, from what he remembered from his classmates, Litten would usually show up in the cafeteria looking for food. However, it would sometimes take food with it. This was a little strange to Ash, either Litten was saving his food, or he was taking it to someone. Either way, Ash wanted to learn more about Litten.
(With Litten)
Litten had just reached the forest, as it was sprinting towards an abandon house. Once inside he walked up to a couch, which had a large dog-like Pokémon, laying on it. Placing a berry on the table, the other Pokémon pushed back the berry, wanting Litten to eat it. However Litten wouldn't have it, as he pushed the berry back. The dog-like Pokémon then took a bite out of the beery, before finishing it up. While Litten just watched before cleaning his paws.

As Rotom finished his scan, Ash nodded with a smile. Their move pool has expanded quite bit while he was away. According from Prof. Oak, Scraggy, and several other had been going to Primeape to practicing their fighting moves, and elemental punches. He could help but smile, as he what both Axew, and Tyrunt were playing with Shelgon, who Ash recently found out Shelgon had the eggs moves Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, and Hydro Pump. This was really lucky since he now had another pseudo-legendry, alongside his Gabite, Goodra, and Deino. This made four out the eight pseudo-legendary there where. And from what Kukui said, 3 more could be found in Alola, one of which was Alola pseudo-legendary, Jangmo-o. This one was interesting since it would become the only Dragon and Fighting type. It would make a great addition to the team, and add even more variety to his team. With Rotom's help, he managed to find a number of Alolan Pokémon he's found that would make excellent additions. Still, he wanted to find the right match up with his team.
Right now his new members came far, with his older Pokémon help, they were growing in leaps and bounds. Soon his face gained a look of disappointment, with fact that he left all of his old Pokémon at Prof. Oak's lab. He never consider if they wanted to go with them, or thought about having his older Pokémon training his newer ones, or even teaching them more moves. Soon the frown on his face turned into a smile, because that what this trip was for, making sure he makes up for his past mistakes. Now that his Pokémon were ready the training began, with several practice spars. The spars going on at the moment were Pikachu vs Heliolisk, Noivern vs Eelektross, Scraggy vs Donphan, Shelgon vs Tyrunt, and Ralts vs Axew.
He was paying attention to Tyrunt battle the most, he remember when he had gotten Tyrunt. The person traded Tyrunt for his Tauros was a fossil collector who was a good friend of Prof. Oak. One day he restored a Jaw fossil to get a Tyrunt, and ended up evolving it into Tyrantrum. Soon his Tyranitar ended up breeding with the female Tyrantrum. When this Tyrunt it soon became battle very aggressive. When he went to Prof. Oak for help, Oak stated that the Tyrunt seem to want to battle. But since the fossil collector was a retired trainer, Oak suggested to trade Tyrunt. Since the man was getting older, he need help moving some of his fossil, and with Ash being a trainer, Tyrunt would get the battle experience he wanted.
As for Axew, the trainer really couldn't work with Axew, since their battle styles were different. When Ash met the trainer, they decide to test out to see if they're compatible. Thankfully they were, and the trainer worked well with Tauros, so it was an easy trade. He couldn't help but wonder how Iris would react, to all of his Dragon types. It was funny to him, since Iris was support to be a Dragon type trainer, and her only Dragon types were her Axew, and her Dragonite. However he her that she now was training with Clair, and had caught a Gible. Well hopefully when they next meet up, she won't be such a kid.
(The Next Day)
School was over for the day, as bid goodbye to his class mates. Deciding to go to the beach, when he heard a commotion. Deciding to check it out, he followed the noise, where he found Litten being attacked by another cat Pokémon. Seeing what was going Ash quickly went to interfere.
"Rotom, what is that Pokémon?" Ash asked.
"It's a Persian." Rotom answered.
"It's not any Persian I've ever seen."
"Let me show you." Rotom said, pulling up a picture of a regular Persian. The Persian in the picture had white fur, a long and slender body, with a red gem on its fore head. "I'm sure your familiar with this version, but an Alolan Persian looks different." He continued, the picture change, as the Persian in the photo now had a large oval head, with grey fur, and a blue gem.
"Wow, an Alola Persian does look different." Ash said, surprised at the slight difference.
"The Alola Persian is a Dark type, so it can be cunning with a bit of a mean streak." Rotom finished.
Realizing what Rotom was implying, Ash leaped over the end to help Litten. Unfortunately it was at that moment, Persian had used Slash, and struck Litten with its sharp claws, causing Litten to drop his berry.
"Stop it, for a single you are being way too harsh." Ash shouted at the Persian.
Seeing the evil grin on its face, Ash knew what Persian was planning.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt." Ash said just in time, as Persian's attack was overwhelm by Pikachu's.
Persian was shocked badly, as it ran off. Seeing Litten hurt, as went to help it, only for Litten to scratch him. Seeing that Litten wasn't going to come easy, as let out his Ralts, as he had both Pikachu, and Ralts try and convince Ash to take it to the Pokémon center. However Litten was stubborn as it refused to go, seeing this Ash had no choice as he grabbed Litten, and began rushing it to the Pokémon center, with it desperately trying to break free.
(Later)
After Ash brought Litten to the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy went to treat him, as she wrapped badges over Litten, and the place a collar around Litten's neck, so Litten wouldn't try to lick his wounds. Litten had upset face, at the fact he was wearing a collar. Once Litten was patched up, Ash took Litten over to Prof. Kukui's place, and asked if he could keep Litten for the night, just to make sure his injuries healed up. Once the Professor agreed, Ash went to feed his Pokémon, and Litten since it was late. Once it was dark, Litten continued to try and take the collar off, as Ash took pity, and removed the collar. Litten had a relieved look on his face as he began scratching his head. Ash the placed Litten on his lap, as he began taking to him.
"I don't why you're taking the food, but I can tell your doing it for some reason. I just hope you can learn to give me a bit of trust." Ash spoke softly as soon left began falling asleep.
(Later in the Night)
Litten had woken up sometime in the night, he grabbed his berry as he made his way to the door, as he began scratching it. Hearing the noise, Ash woke up, still sleepy as he made his way to the door. Opening the door, Litten dashed out, before Ash suddenly realized what he had done. Running after Litten, Ash, Pikachu, and Rotom, went as fast as they could, trying to catch up to Litten.
Soon they ended up at an abandon house, as Litten ran through the entrance. Following Litten, Ash walked into the house, as he saw Litten in front of a large Pokémon. Litten and the dog-like Pokémon soon heard them as Litten hissed at Ash.
"A Stoutland." Ash said, seeing the large Pokémon.
"Looks pretty old." Rotom add.
Seeing the wrappers of food, and old soda cups, Ash realized what had been going on.
"I see, Litten has been taking food to feed this Stoutland. I that right?" Ash asked with a smile.
Continuing to stare at Ash, Litten gave a small nod, never taking his eyes off of Ash.
Smiling Ash then spoke, "I understand, this Stoutland has been looking after you, and you want to help him right?" He asked getting another nod. "I'm sorry Litten was late, he had gotten hurt by a Persian, and I took him to the Pokémon Center, before taking him over to my place. I wanted to make sure he healed properly. But is it okay if I come back tomorrow, to bring you guys some extra food?" He finished, but before he could get an answered, Litten, Pikachu, and Stoutland tensed up as they heard something.
Soon the same Persian from earlier leapt down from the ceiling, as it hissed. Seeing it was charging another attack, Ash shouted for everyone to get outside, as Persian attack missed.
"It's so persistent. It came back for revenge." Rotom stated.
Both Litten and Pikachu stepped up, attempting to get Persian to leave.
"You really are a persistent one." Ash quoted Rotom, as Persian was walking back and forth. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt."
Ash called, as Pikachu launched the attack, as Litten fired an Ember, as Persian dodged both attack, and attempted to hit Stoutland. Taking the attack, Persian was hit with a Slash attack, much to Litten surprise. Persian ran up to Litten and Pikachu, as it swatted away another Ember. Stoutland then began barking at Litten, hearing Stoutland, Litten flames became intense, as it burned off the bandages, and then Litten fired a powerful Ember, that sent Persian running, with its tail on fire. Once Persian left, Ash decided to head back to Kukui's place, as he bid goodbye to Litten and Stoutland, as he promised to bring some food over.
(The Next Day)
The sun had risen, as Ash was carrying a bag that had some berries, as he made his way over to the abandon house. Once he was inside, he couldn't find Litten, or Stoutland until he realized that they most likely went to find a new place because of the Persian attack. His face soon gained a frown, as he realized Persian properly found this place because of him. He then went into town, as he went to the old woman's stand, to see if she has seen them. Once there she told him that she hasn't them, and that it wasn't his fault. She then began placed a berry on a plate, as she said that Litten would show up, sooner or later.
Suddenly Litten showed up as he took the berry in his mouth, before he stared at Ash, and then took off. Ash suddenly began smiling as he knew that he would meet up with Litten sooner or later.
Okay sorry this took a little longer to finish. So here is another list of Pokémon Ash will catch before leaving the Alola region for a bit. Rockruff, Litten, Growlithe, Dewpider, Wimpod, Trapinch, Dratini, his Lapras, and Butterfree, Palossand, Jangmo-o, and Dratini. Let me know if there are other you want. Also I know I said I will have Lillie catch the Pink Butterfree, but I decided not to. Instead Ash's Butterfree left the Pink Butterfree, and I'll explain in a later chapter, let me know what you think.
