Okay guys, this is Sun and Moon episode 11's replacement. My reason because episode 11 wasn't that good. Now I know some people like it, but I didn't. Now other episodes that I will replace are: 17, 20 I'm only keeping the beginning, 22, 23, 26, 28, 40, 41, and 45

Now several pointed out the part of Rowlet's battle that had been repeated. My apologies that happened at night when I was working on it, and the next day when finished it, I didn't see it. So thank you for pointing it out. Now some people don't want Ash to catch legendries, I know you worry Ash may end up to overpowered, don't worry he won't us them often, only when he has to which is maybe 1 out 50 times.

Also I try to update once a week but no promises, maybe two a week if I have time. Now back to the story.

"All Primeape All Out Pummeling." Ash shouted.

I was the morning after the Grand Trial with Kahuna Hala, and currently Ash was practicing with his new Fightinium Z Crystal. The party after the Grand Trial was quite fun, however Ash was quite tired after dancing with Lillie, Mallow, and Lana repeatedly last night. Once he go home, he quickly fell asleep. Once he work he quickly feed his Pokémon, before having breakfast himself. Once that was done, quickly began to gather his Pokémon for training. Deciding to start working with Primeape in order to master Fightinium Z.

Once glowing with the intense energy Primeape began striking the air several times. After the final punch Primeape charged forward and smash the last of the rock that was in front of them. Once they were done Ash decided to take a break. Since they had been practicing for an hour, he figured his Pokémon could use a rest.

After informing Kukui that he would be heading out, he quickly grabbed his stuff before heading out. And as he was passing by a Route 2 were he saw Mallow in a field, and at the berry field and in front were the same people called Team Skull he had met when he had first arrived in the Alola region. Deciding to get Mallow a little assistances.

"Look those berries now belong to too use, so why don't you hand them over." The tallest Skull member stated.

Mallow simply puffed her cheeks in annoyance, however they had a Salandit, a Zubat, and a Garbodor out, which wasn't the best match for her Bounsweet. However thankfully Ash showed up, to help.

"Hey want don't just get your own berries." Ash said as he took stance next to Mallow.

"Ash, what are you doing here?" Mallow asked.

"I decided to walk around the Island and do a little exploring when I saw you here, and noticed Team Skull trying to acting all tuff, and decided to help you out." Ash explained, causing Mallow to giggle a little.

"Hey, we're noting acting tough, we are tough." The tallest amongst them, who had blue hair said.

Rolling his eyes at them Ash then gave them a dead stare as he responded to them, "Like after me and Kiawe knocked out your Pokémon, and you took off like a bunch of cowards."

All three of them began scowling at the memory, as the leader of the three spoke up again. "You were just lucky, now we'll show you."

"Go Salandit/Go Garbodor/Go Zubat!" The three Skull member called out at the same time.

As the three Pokémon were released, the hissed out their names, which lead to Ash rolling his eyes again at their lame tactics.

"Pikachu use Quick Attack then, follow up with Thunderbolt." Ash called out.

Needless to say, it wasn't much of a fight. Once Pikachu slammed into all of them with his Quick Attack, he then easily knocked them out with one Thunderbolt. Once Team Skull returned their Pokémon, before making their getaway.

Once that was done, Ash asked if Mallow would like him to accompany her back to her family's restaurant. Needless to say she quickly accepted, before she grabbed his hands and took off. As they began walking Mallow began asking Ash some questions.

"So, how do you like the Alola Region so far?"

Smiling at her question, he responded, "It great, I'm defiantly glad I came here, and I can't wait to visit the other Islands as well."

Smiling she couldn't help but wonder what region Ash enjoyed the most.

"So Ash, since you traveled through 6 other regions, which one is was your favorite."

After taking a moment to think about it, he finally came up with an answer. "Honest I loved traveling through all of them the same."

"Oh?" Mallow said confused.

"Yeah, I made really good friends, traveled through awesome places, caught all kinds of Pokémon, and tried all kinds of tasty foods."

Once Ash mention the word food, his stomach immediately began growling, causing Mallow, Bounsweet, and Pikachu to start laughing. Since it was close to lunch time, Mallow invited Ash to eat at the restaurant. Accepting her offer the two continued to make their way over to the restaurant. As they were walking the passed an area were a sudden aroma filled the air, causing them to investigate what it was. As they continued to investigate, they came across a small green pale Pokémon, with a necklace of buds are the neck, red eyes, and a leaf on the top of its head.

"It's a Chikorita." Ash said, recognizing a Pokémon he had seen many times.

"It's so cute!" Mallow gushed.

Seeing the new Pokémon Rotom instantly gather info.

Chikorita, the Leaf Pokémon. A Grass Type. In battle, Chikorita waves its leaf around to keep the foe at bay. However, a sweet fragrance also wafts from the leaf, becalming the battling Pokémon and creating a cozy, friendly atmosphere all around.

"Are you going to catch it?" Rotom then asked.

Smiling Ash simply stated, "No."

This caught Mallow off-guard as she asked, "How come?"

"It's because I already caught Chikorita."

"You caught a Chikorita?" Mallow further asked.

Nodding Ash then explained, "When I was traveling through Johto, me and friend came across a wild Chikorita, and I decided to catch it. However I wasn't so easy, as Chikorita didn't want be on my team. But after some time, I eventually earned her trust, and she joined my team. Later she evolved into my Bayleef."

"A Bayleef?" Mallow questioned.

"Rotom."

"Right." Rotom said, as he showed a picture a dinosaur looking Pokémon, with a larger scythe-like leaf on its head, and larger buds.

Bayleef, the Leaf Pokémon. A Grass Type. Bayleef's neck is ringed by curled up leaves. Inside each tubular leaf is a small shoot of a tree. The fragrance of this shoot makes people peppy.

"Wow that pretty cool." Mallow as she observed the data.

Suddenly the Chikorita noticed them, but instead of running away, I actually came up to them.

"Chiko!" It said.

"Cute!" Mallow practically yelled as she scooped Chikorita in her arms.

While Chikorita showed some discomfort at first but some returned the affection by releasing the sweet fragrance. Soon everyone began relaxing as the aroma filled the air. They decided to stay with the Chikorita for a bit. Before they left, Mallow gave Chikorita a few berries since she had bought for many. Ash they were walking, the Chikorita began following them.

"Hey Chikorita has been following us for a while now."

"You're right." Ash, said as he and Mallow came to a stop.

Chikorita then caught up to them, as it sat down giving them a joyful smile. After observing them for a minute, Chikorita then walked up to Mallow as it began nuzzling her leg. Ash couldn't help but smile at their interaction, reminding him of his Bayleef at times.

"If I had to guess, I would this Chikorita really likes you, and want to join you." He concluded.

"Really Chikorita, do you really want to join me?" Mallow asked.

Will an excited look on her face, Chikorita nodded eagerly, before jumping back, and getting into a battle stance.

"What wrong Chikorita?" Mallow not use to this sudden action.

Chuckling Ash gave her the answer since he could already guess the reason.

"Chikorita wants to battle you first."

"Is that true?" She asked.

Nodding Chikorita didn't release its stance, as it was waiting for Mallow. But before Mallow could give her Bounsweet a command, Ash placed his hand on her shoulder getting her attention.

"Ah, Mallow do you have spare Pokéballs to catch Chikorita after the battle?" Since Mallow wasn't really a trainer, he wanted to make sure she had a Pokéball to catch Chikorita. And from the expression he had received, it looked like she didn't. Since he didn't want to waste time, he then handed Mallow one of his spare Pokéballs. After thanking Mallow took the first move.

"Bounsweet use Razor Leaf."

Unleashing a several razor sharp leaf, Chikorita easily jumped to avoid the attack. Then charging forward, Chikorita attempted to tackle Bounsweet, only to be blocked by a Rapid Spin. Ash raised an eyebrow at this sight, while Mallow didn't have much battle experience, she did display some impressive instincts. Once Bounsweet finished the Rapid Spin, Mallow quickly had it use another Razor Leaf. Since this Chikorita looked young, it was taken down with at one hit. Then enlarging the Pokéball, Mallow tossed it, as it struck Chikorita's side. As Chikorita was sucked inside, the ball shook several times, before finally confirming capture. Mallow let out, a cheer of joys, as she walked up and grabbed her new Pokémon and thanked her Bounsweet. Clapping his hands together, Ash congratulated her, for her newest Pokémon.

Once they took Chikorita to the Pokémon Center to be treated, they then went to Mallow's family restaurant, where Mallow introduced her new Pokémon to her father. Father was thrilled to see Mallow's new Pokémon. And the customers were too, since both Bounsweet, and Chikorita gave off the most wonderful aromas. And Chikorita was also thrilled to see her new home.

Once they had lunch, thank Mallow and her father for the incredible meal before taking off to continue exploring the island. As he continued to walk around the island Ash couldn't help but appreciate how kind the people of the Alola Region were. He wouldn't mind settling him down here when he accomplished his dream. As he continue to walk along Route 3, Pikachu spotted a familiar person up ahead.

"Pika, Pika." Pikachu said, as he pointed towards the person.

Looking at the direction Pikachu was pointing at, Ash then called out to that person.

"Kiawe!"

Turning towards Kiawe waved as the got closer.

"Alola." Kiawe greeted.

"Alola." A little girl also greeted.

She was about a third of Kiawe's height, had brown hair with red highlights, light blue eyes, and she wore a pink dress with sandals.

"Alola." Ash greeted back, "Oh I don't think I met you before."

"I'm Kiawe's sister Mimo, it's nice to meet you." The little introduce herself.

"Nice to meet you two, I'm Ash."

"So Ash what are you doing here?" Kiawe asked.

"I was just walking around the island when Pikachu saw you, so I decided to say hi. But what are you guys doing?"

"I was showing my sister around the island, when we spotted that Pokémon over there." Kiawe answered, pointing to a small Pokémon, with blue fur on the top, and a milky underside running around.

Seeing the Pokémon Ash immediately recognized it, "It's a Cyndaquil."

"Cyndaquil?" Kiawe, and his sister replied.

Seeing the small Pokémon Rotom got closer for a scan.

Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokémon. A Fire Type. Cyndaquil protect itself by flaring the flames on its back. The flames are vigorous if the Pokémon is angry. However, if it is tired, the flames splutter fitfully with incomplete combustion.

"Oh wow, it's cute." Mimo said, as she tried to go after the Pokémon. However Kiawe stopped her, before she could take off.

"Remember Mimo, it's a wild Pokémon."

With a sadden Mimo nodded, however noting waiting her to be upset, Ash took out a Pokéball.

"Cheer up Mimo, I like you to meet one of my Pokémon, it may not be Cyndaquil, but it is in the same evolutionary line. Come on out." Ash said, as he released his Pokémon.

"Quilava." The new Pokémon called out.

From Ash's Pokéball emerged a Pokémon with the same colors of Cyndaquil, but was slimmer, and longer. It had triangular ears, red insides, a round nose, and red eyes.

"Wow it's so cute." Mimo squealed. "What is it?"

Hearing question Rotom answered her.

Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon, and the evolve form of Cyndaquil. A Fire Type. Quilava intimidates foes with its flames heat, and when ready to battle, the fire burns with more strength.

"Wow that so cool." Mimo said.

"Quilava, meet Kiawe, and Mimo they my friends. And Mimo and Kiawe meet Quilava."

"Nice to meet Quilava." Mimo greeted.

"Yes nice to meet you." Kiawe added.

"Quilava." Quilava greeted.

As Mimo began to play Kiawe released his Turtonator to introduce him to Quilava and then began talking to Ash. As the Pokémon were play with Mimo, they didn't noticed they were being observed. They stayed in the area for a bit, and then Quilava noticed the Cyndaquil. After starting at them for a while, the Cyndaquil nervously walked up to them.

When they finally notice almost looked like it would run away. However Quilava then walked up to Cyndaquil and began comforting it. After a few moments of silence Cyndaquil then join in on playing. Soon Ash and Kiawe decided to have a mock battle between Quilava and Turtonator.

"Turtonator use Flamethrower."

"Quilava, you use Flamethrower."

The two attack collided as they tried to push the other one back, only for it to end up in a stalemate. Then Quilava charged forward before disappearing for a 2nd. Ash Turtonator looked around, it suddenly was rammed by Quilava's Aerial Ace. Turtonator staggered for 2nd as it managed to regain its balance.

"Turtonator now use Body Slam."

"Quilava use Dig."

Turtonator attempted to slam down on too Quilava, however Quilava easily avoided the attack as he resurfaced, and managed to uppercut Turtonator. However Quilava was surprised as Turtonator managed to land a Dragon Tail sending Quilava back. Landing on his feet Quilava glared Turtonator who launch another Flamethrower. However this time, Quilava took it and didn't even flinch. Both Kiawe and Mimo were surprised to see this.

"Well Quilava, it's time to end this." Ash said, as his Fightinium Z Crystal lit up.

"I don't think so Ash." Kiawe stated as he active his Firium Z Crystal.

Ash they both did their respective poses, the both shouted their Z-Moves.

"All Out Pummeling/Inferno Overdrive!"

As Quilava threw his punches, Turtonator created a massive fireball and launched it. The two attacks clashed, as eventually Quilava's Z-Move overpowered Turtonator's. Soon Quilava struck Turtonator knocking him out.

Sighing Kiawe thanked Turtonator before returning him to his Pokéball. Once Turtonator was returned, Kiawe felt something poke his leg. Looking down Kiawe saw Cyndaquil poking his leg, once Cyndaquil had his attention, he then pointed to the Z-Crystal on Kiawe's wrist.

"Think Cyndaquil wants to use a Z-Move with you Kiawe." Ash stated as he saw the interaction.

"Is that true?" Kiawe then asked.

Nodding Cyndaquil then ran several times in circles before stopping in front of Kiawe. After taking a moment to think about it, Kiawe then took out a Pokéball, and held it in front of Cyndaquil.

"Are you sure you want to come with me." He ask.

Nodding Cyndaquil then gave Kiawe a serious expression, as he his determination. Then toss holding out the Pokéball, Cyndaquil tapped it Opening up, Cyndaquil was sucked inside as the ball suck several times before it stopped confirming capture. With a grin Kiawe held up the Pokéball, examining his new teammate. Once Kiawe let out Cyndaquil, they all made their way over to the Pokémon Center, in order to treat Quilava and Turtonator.

Once the Pokémon were heal, Ash decided to go fishing with the amount of sun that was left while Kiawe and Mimo would heading home. Once the two went their separate ways, Ash headed down to the Kala's Bay. Once he arrived, he found another of his friends, who was also fishing.

"Hey Lana." Ash greet as he walked up to her.

"Hi Ash." She greeted back.

"I see your fishing, catch anything good."

"Well I managed to catch a few Alomomola, a couple of Luvdisc, and a Lugia." Mallow stated.

Ash just shook his head, with a smile at the last one, while Mallow stuck out her tongue seeing he didn't fall for it. Ash then bent down to look at Popplio.

"So how are you doing Popplio?"

"Pop, Pop." Popplio barked happily.

"That good." Ash said, as he rubbed Popplio's head, causing her to bark again.

"So what are you doing here?" Lana asked.

"Well I decide to do some fishing myself." Ash answered.

"I see." She then replied.

As Ash cast his line, he began waiting patiently for the line to pull, and as he was waiting he began talking to Lana about their day. As they continue to talk for a while they both felt their lines tug. As they both reeled in their lines, they pull out Pokémon that Ash recognized.

"Cool, I got a Horsea, and you got a Totodile." Ash said, as Rotom began scanning the Pokémon.

Horsea, the Dragon Pokémon. A Water Type. If Horsea senses danger, it will reflexively spray a dense black ink from its mouth, and try to escape. This Pokémon swims by cleverly flapping the fin on its back.

Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokémon. Totodile has a habit of using its highly developed jaws to chomp on anything in sight, so Trainer beware.

As Horsea release the lure from its mouth it glare at Ash, showing no signs of backing down. Grinning Ash released Floatzel from his Pokéball, and began.

"Floatzel use Aqua Jet."

Seeing the Horsea, Ash was pointing at, Floatzel grin as he surround by water, as he rushed forward and rammed into Horsea sending it flying back. Once Horsea landed in the water it managed to recover, as it fired back a Bubble Beam. The attack neared, Ash had Floatzel simply use his tail to deflect the attack. Seeing his attack so easily deflected, Horsea the created a Twister, and launched it at Floatzel.

"Floatzel use Ice Beam."

Releasing the chilling attack, Horsea attack was frozen as Floatzel then used that distraction to use another Aqua Jet, to slam into Horsea. Horsea cried out in pain, as it crashed into the water again. Seeing his opportunity Ash tossed a Dive Ball he bought a few days again, as it sucked in Horsea, as it float in the water. Once it confirmed capture, Floatzel then brought the Dive Ball as Ash thanked him, as he picked it up. Then Ash released Horsea, as he began treating its injuries. Once he was done Horsea examined him for a moment, once it was done, Horsea nodded as it acknowledge it was caught, and gave a cheer. Smiling, Ash decided to let his Horsea out a little long, as well as his Floatzel. He then turned to see Lana and Popplio play with Totodile, as they were swimming with each other, while Lana's Lapras was watching over them.

Smiling just watch them for a while, before he began thinking of his Croconaw. Deciding to find out more about his Horsea, Ash then turned to Rotom.

"Rotom, can you gives the stats on Horsea?"

"Sure."

This Horsea is male, and has the ability Sniper. Its moves are: Bubble Beam, Smokescreen, Leer, Water Gun, and Twister. This Horsea also has the egg moves: Aurora Beam, Dragon Breath, and Dragon Rage that have not been unlock yet.

Once Rotom finish Ash decided to join Lana, as he went to change into his trunks he brought, and dove into the water Pikachu, Floatzel, and Horsea following. Lana and Ash as well their Pokémon continue to swim for about an hour, before they decided to head home. As Lana was about to leave, Totodile gave a sad sigh, getting their attention.

"What wrong Totodile?" Lana then asked.

Totodile then gave various movements, as it point from itself to Lana.

"I think Totodile wants to go with you Lana." Ash said, as he took a guess.

Totodile then gave nodding its head happily as it was jumping up and down in excitement. After think about Lana then smiled as she gave her answer.

"Of course you can come with me, right Popplio." Lana answered.

"Pop, Pop." Popplio nodded happily.

Giving a large smile, Totodile then hopped onto Lana's shoulder, as it began nuzzling Lana. Then pulling out a Pokéball, Totodile was sucked it, before the ball pinged confirming capture. Once she released Totodile, she then welcomed Totodile to the team before bidding Ash goodbye, as she then got on her Lapras with Popplio, and Totodile. Ash also said his goodbyes, as he made his way over to Kukui's house as he reflected on a great day.

Okay, sorry for a late update, but I ended up really busy. I'm also going to be busy this week, but I'll try to get another chapter out soon. Let me know what you think of the captures. Also I just reloaded chapter 11, after taking out the repeated Rowlet part. Also if they are other Pokémon you want to then Ash's friends catch let me know.
