Delia Ketchum: Well… I know that I'm not in Sparky's fic… not yet anyway. But he has graciously asked me to do the disclaimer for the first chapter. Here it goes. Sparky does not own the characters and story elements of the Pokémon franchise. All credit goes to Nintendo, Game Freak and the Pokémon Company. The Summers sibling OCs belong to Seeker Lyson and credit goes to her as well.
Diana: 'Yeah! Sparky is only borrowing them for entertainment purposes only! He's not looking to make any money off of this story.'
Delia: [holding her shiny female Pikachu in her arms] That's my little girl, Diana.
Diana: 'Thank you Mommy.'
Chapter 1: Aloha Alola!
Cynthia Ketchum's POV
"Man that was the longest plane ride ever," Isabella complained as we exited the plane spending nearly 18 hours in from Diamond Bay Island. "I thought I was gonna go nuts without punching someone."
'Well… thankfully there was that annoying punk who tried to goad Benjamin into fighting him,' Isabella's shiny female Meowstic, Rika, said as she stretched after feeling stiff for most of the flight. 'You pretty much did the air marshal's job in forcing him back to his seat.'
"Yeah, but you didn't have to kick the guy in the nuts," Benjy said as he grimaced in pain. "The guy's scream was worse than a Swoobat's Hyper Voice."
"How could you know what a Swoobat's Hyper Voice sounds like?" I asked my boyfriend as I gave him a peck kiss on his right cheek. "You were next to me… cuddled with me."
"Welcome to the Alola region," a few ladies dressed in Hawaiian muumuus said to us passengers as we were on the tarmac heading to the terminal and each laid leis on our necks as we were welcomed to Alola.
'Ah… what more could a small, cute, lovable and furry Pokémon ask for?' my silly little asked as he enjoyed having two leis placed around his neck. 'Beautiful girls dressed in tropical attire, warm tropical breeze refreshing our worn out spirits and I did mention the beautiful girls?'
"Ugh… Big Brother," I said as I rolled my eyes and shook my head at my Victini big brother's antics.
"Seems someone has impeccable tastes, even if he is a Pokémon," a man coming from the terminal said as he had overheard our conversation.
The man wore only a baseball hat, glasses, swim trunks, flip flops on his feet and a lab coat. He looked friendly and his posture showed it too along with the Rockruff he had with him. The little Rock-type Pokémon was certainly friendly with Shelby and I as he sought to greet us by licking our faces.
"I must say you're very friendly with people," Shelby said with a slight chuckle.
'Oh yes,' replied the canine Rock-type Pokémon.
"Well… hope you enjoy your stay here in the Alola region," the regional professional said to Shelby, Benjy, Victini and myself.
oooooooooooo
"It's good to finally meet the famous Oceanic Knights," said our contact that we were to meet after debarking from the plane from Diamond Bay Island. "I have the starter Pokémon who will be supporting the Pokémon you brought with you along with other items that Milady Rhea asked me to bring with me."
"Thanks Ku," I said as the amnesic hybrid had opened the package that we were to receive from my aunt.
"Whoa… that's quite the selection of Pokéballs," Benjy said as we were quite surprised with the amount of Pokéballs that my aunt had sent with Ku.
Ku was quite a good friend, to me, my boyfriend and big sister. She had long dark purple hair, magenta eyes and was decked out in her own armored field gear in the colors of the Pokémon she was a hybrid of. Ku had been part of Team Trident much longer than me, Benjy and Shelby were members of Trident. Aside from Ku's past, she was ordered by Aunt Rhea to give us back up whenever we needed the support. And apparently… we needed the backup for this mission.
"Ahem, the starters you're supposed to have from my home region are here as well," Ku informed us as she brought focus back to our assignment.
"Wait, you just said 'from my home region'," Shelby said to Ku as we caught what she said before presented four Pokéballs, a Lure Ball, a Dream Ball, a Moon Ball and a Level Ball.
"Your choice of Pokémon… please," Ku said to us reiterating the need for us to choose our partners.
"I'll take the Lure Ball, thank you very much," I said as I was quick to snatch it before Shelby, Benjy or Isabella tried to take it. "Come on out, Pokémon!"
Out of the Lure Ball came out a dark blue seal-like Pokémon with a white circus-like collar. For me, I was very happy as the Pokémon I wanted to get seemed real. The Water-type starter looked to me and Victini a bit confused at first but then smiled as it seemed that she liked us both.
'Hello there kindred spirits and friends,' the Water-type starter said to me and Victini as she waved her front flippers in the local greeting of the Alola region. 'Alola and welcome to the Alola region. I'm known as Popplio, the Sea Lion Pokémon. I was told that you seek Pokémon with something called Dream World abilities. You just so happen to be in luck; my ability is called Liquid Voice. All sound based moves become Water-type moves.'
'Welcome to our team then,' Victini said to the female Sea Lion Pokémon. 'I'm Victini, the Victory Pokémon. I'm also Little Cynthia's big brother too. She's known me all her life.'
Benjy and Shelby each tried to reach for the Dream Ball until it was lifted up and floated towards Isabella as she used her Psychic-type powers that she has. Oh… silly me, guess I forgot to mention that Isabella is also a Pokémon/human hybrid like Ku and myself. Isabella's father, Lucas Greyson, used to be my mother's Victini before he made the permanent change to being a human. But despite the fact he's human now, he's still Victini to the core.
Isabella ignored me staring at her and let the Pokémon she took for herself out of the Dream Ball. The Pokémon was a feline Pokémon, much like Rika was. She had white fur instead of the black fur that I had seen during the look over of the Alola Pokédex upgrade to my own Pokédex. The female feline Fire-type starter looked to Isabella with a piercing gaze for a couple minutes, like Lord Dialga or a cute little Celebi had stopped time itself. Once the gazing contest was over, the Fire-type cat Pokémon gave a nod of approval as she said to Isabella, 'You most definitely are a likeminded individual… one who is of the lineage of a noble Fire-type Pokémon despite your human appearance.'
"Thank you for your kind words," Isabella said to the Fire-type starter Pokémon. "I'm Isabella Greyson of Tsunami Island in the Atlantica Islands. But you can also call me a fire bender if you'd like.
Isabella then gestured to her shiny female Psychic-type Constraint Pokémon sibling, "And this is sister and best friend Rika. She's a Meowstic, originally from the Kalos region."
'A pleasure to meet both of you… Fire Bender Isabella Greyson of Tsunami Island and Meowstic, Rika,' the female Fire-type said to Isabella. 'I am Litten, the Fire Cat Pokémon and I have the Intimidate ability instead of Blaze.'
"Oh man… I was wanting to get the Fire-type with Intimidate," whined Shelby as she wanted the Litten that Isabella had possession of.
"Then I guess it sucks to be you," Benjy said to his older sister as hooted like a Noctowl in laughter and hefted the Level Ball that he took while Shelby wasn't looking. "Cuz I got the shiny male Litten with Blaze."
"I won't forget this," Shelby snarled at her brother as she grabbed the Moon Ball containing the shiny female Grass-type starter and let her out.
'Hello there new companion,' the shiny female owl-like Grass/Flying-type starter Pokémon said to Shelby. 'I didn't see what happened, but I could hear it. If you'd like, I would be more than happy to help you and other Pokémon get back at your brother. Name's Rowlet by the way and I have the Long Reach ability instead of Overgrow.'
"And what does Long Reach do?" Shelby asked the green and white shiny female Grass Quill Pokémon.
"Long Reach means that your Rowlet doesn't have to make contact with the Pokémon it's targeting," Ku explained to Shelby. "So your Grass/Flying-type companion won't have to worry about being tagged by abilities like Flame Body, Poison Point, Effect Spore and Static."
"Sweet!" Shelby exclaimed happily with Cheshire grin on her face.
"All of you are happy with your choices, correct?" Ku asked the four of us, only to get a nod from each of us. "Very well then, each of you is to take an amount of different Pokéballs and not take any of the regular, Great or Ultra Balls from vendors of this region. And as always, should you acquire a Master Ball, you are forbidden to use it."
"We know about the Master Ball being prohibited from use," Benjy said to Ku.
"And you will do well to remember that," replied Ku. "You may not be at Trident Headquarters but here in Alola and the other regions, you act as representatives of Team Trident that aim to plant the seeds of a new humanity. Remember that and call on me only if you require my assistance."
Ku activated her Ride Pager and summoned a Lugia, much to the amazement of Benjy, Shelby, Isabella and myself as she flew off to another part of Alola. Once Ku was gone, the four of us looked in the box she left behind and found other useful items. For Isabella, Shelby and myself, we got a messenger bag to carry our items and clothes in. Benjy got a backpack to store his things in as well. The other items we got in the package my aunt sent us were Shiny Charms from the Atlantica Islands, pink gemstone charms in the shape of a cloud called a Dream Charm, the usual healing items, new iPhones, a TM Case chalked full of TMs from our home region, an Amulet Coin for each of us to have for our Pokémon to hold and a generous amount of money for us to live off of in Alola.
"Man Cynthia, I think your aunt went overboard with the money thing again," Benjy said to me as he referred to the time we went to Kanto to knock down Neo Team Rocket.
"Well… Aunt Rhea wants us to be ready in case we get stuck here for much longer," I said to Benjy as I knew my great aunt well enough to know she takes special care of me and the Summers siblings personally.
"Uh guys…," Isabella said to us bringing our attention to something we didn't want to see, "I sure hope Milady Rhea is joking about this."
"What's up Isabella?" Shelby asked the female Victini hybrid, who was looking at a piece of paper that held our orders.
Isabella didn't answer Shelby but showed the rest of us what Aunt Rhea had in mind for us to do while we were hunting down and systematically destroying the criminal syndicate and any other criminal groups in Alola. The rest of us looked at the orders that Aunt Rhea gave us and we were not happy with what we were told to do while staying in Alola. We were certainly showing our fangs when we saw Aunt Rhea's orders. Going through school was enough and with the things we learned from the tutors at Sol Palace, we felt that we no longer needed an education. But if there was one thing that all four of us knew, Aunt Rhea was sure to have someone keeping an eye on us to make sure we couldn't Buizel out of her instructions for us. And that someone keeping an eye on us was most likely Ku.
"AUNT RHEA!" I let out in a piercing scream that frightened some of the local Pokémon as I let out my frustration with my great aunt.
"Oh man… back to school for us then," Shelby said as she let out a sigh and shook her head.
'A Pokémon school?' inquired Rika as she read the message from Aunt Rhea. 'How fascinating. Something new for us to explore.'
'I don't think our humans like the idea of going back to school,' Victini said to Rika as he shook his head. 'Even so, I don't think they want their assignment to Alola extended any longer.'
oooooooooooo
"I see, so you four are enrolling in Pokémon School?" Professor Kukui, the regional professor of the Alola region that we met at the airport, said to the four of us as we stood in the school's principal office.
"We're doing it… under protest," Shelby informed the professor as the four of us each had blank stares on our faces.
"Well… let's get the enrollment process taken care of then," the principal, Samson Oak, said to the four of us. "It'll be fast as a Pikachu using Agility."
The principal then tried to do an impression of a Pikachu, much to the annoyance of myself and my companions, both human and Pokémon alike.
"Okay, first we have young Isabella Greyson," Principal Oak said as he was taking care of Isabella's registration. "Says here you're from Tsunami Island in the Atlantica Islands region."
"That's correct," replied Isabella as she gave the principal a slight nod. "And I came with my sister and companion, Rika."
Principal Oak then looked at Rika and was fascinated by her as I didn't think that he had ever seen a Meowstic, let alone a shiny female Meowstic before. Once his amazement was over, he went back to the registration process. If anything, we hoped that he wouldn't try to do more impressions of Pokémon.
"Says here that your mother is Cynthia Greyson," Principal Oak said as he looked over the background information on Isabella. "She wouldn't happen to be the Sinnoh League champion Cynthia Shirona, would she?"
"Mom retired from being the Sinnoh League champion five years after she gave birth to my youngest siblings, Daniella and Antony," Isabella explained to Principal Oak. "Retired directly on their fifth birthday. She and Daddy run a tourist and Pokémon guide business."
"Interesting," replied Principal Oak as he finished registering Isabella and then looked to my boyfriend. "And you're name is…"
"Benjamin Summers, sir," Benjy said before he felt me lay my head on his left shoulder and was blushing. "Um… I'm also from Tsunami Island, but was born in Sunnyshore City in the Sinnoh region."
Principal Oak gave Benjy a slight nod as he then looked at me as I was next to register.
"I'm Cynthia Ketchum," I informed Principal Oak as he began the registration. "I was born and raised on Tsunami Island.
I then sighed as I continued as Victini appeared on my left shoulder, "And this is my big brother, Victini."
"Okay," said Principal Oak as he was filling in my information before my last name caused him to stop and look at me. "Wait, Ketchum… as in the Champion of Pallet Town and Princess of Hoenn?"
"Sure… I guess," I answered Principal Oak as I didn't like it when people referred to Mom and Daddy with those titles. "They're just my parents. Nothing really special about them."
'Modest as always, aren't you Little Cynthia?' my Psychic/Fire-type big brother asked telepathically with a smile on his face.
"Aunt Relena always taught us that material possessions and titles gain us nothing in life" I said to Victini, reminding him of what Aunt Relena taught hers and the other children, who were friends of her family, who lived at Sol Palace for tutoring. "You should know that by now, Big Brother."
The principal then looked to Shelby and took care of registering her and filling out the information she provided him. After getting our information, he was about mention the costs of tuition for attending the school but received an email that the school had received an anonymous donation to completely pay for our tuition for remainder of the school year for Pokémon School. Once he had gotten confirmation on the mysterious donation, Principal Samson Oak then looked at us with a smile on his face.
"Well, it seems that you four are completely registered for Pokémon School," the principal said to us. "We unfortunately don't have dorms, so you'll have to find someone to live with for the remaining five months of this school year here in Pokémon School."
"Are there any apartment buildings or condos we can rent from?" Shelby asked Principal Samson Oak.
oooooooooooo
"I hope that I didn't just dump my main source of problems on to Benjy," I said to Shelby as I made Big Brother Victini share a bedroom with Benjy.
"He'll live," Shelby reassured me with a smile on her face. "He's gotten used to Victini always trying to use the Totodile Tears routine whenever he gets separated from you."
"I know," I replied as I rolled my eyes and shook at hearing my big brother's antics to try and remain at my side 24/7. "He can just sense my presence and make sure I'm not in danger."
"If he's not too busy trying to flirt with girls," Shelby added cutely before chuckling.
I couldn't help but chuckle with her in agreement. I know my Psychic/Fire-type big brother well enough to know that he takes his job as my big brother and protector seriously… provided that there aren't pretty girls to charm into giving him attention and affection. The apartment that four of us got was pretty decent sized apartment. It was a three bedroom, two and three quarter bathroom with a second level loft that Isabella claimed swiftly and eagerly. The rest of our apartment was very nice and the rent was shockingly less than we had expected it to be, at least $5400 less than we had expected it to be. Once the four of us had settled into our apartment, we decided our living arrangements. As usual, my big brother was insistent that he stay with me even though Shelby had told him that he was staying with her brother… my boyfriend and that I would be perfectly safe as long as I was under her watchful gaze. Knowing Shelby, it was a way for her and I to enjoy female bonding. I liked the idea of furthering our bonding time, but we both knew also that my big brother was also looking for any reason to come in the bedroom with Shelby and me, just so he could be with beautiful girls.
oooooooooooo
The four of us then headed to Pokémon School after getting moved in during the weekend. Our first day was mostly going to be a meet and greet with the students. The four of us remembered that Aunt Rhea had instructed us to keep the knowledge of us being members of Team Trident and our mission to hunt down and wipe out any criminal elements in Alola a secret. Aunt Rhea also instructed Isabella and I to keep our identities as Pokémon/human hybrids a secret as well. Aunt Rhea was afraid that sentiments against the idea Pokémon/human hybrids would be strong in the form of persecution and I could understand that. Benjy and Shelby were also instructed to keep their roles as Aura Knights a secret by Aunt Rhea as attention drawn towards me was not necessary in any way. My big brother was his usual self as always. Stating that he was happy… healthy and ready to charm the ladies into giving him affection. I guess some things must run in my big brother's family even though his older brother, my godmother's husband and Isabella's father, had calm down quite a bit.
Pushing those thoughts aside, the four of us and my Victini big brother entered the grounds of the Pokémon School only to find that no one had come to greet us. But as we got a little further in the school grounds, we found that other students were waiting for us as they welcomed us warmly and nearly startled Benjy. The students then asked us to introduce ourselves to them, in which we were happy to oblige.
"My name Cynthia Ketchum," I said to the students who welcomed us. "I was born and raised on Tsunami Island in the Atlantica Islands region… and kingdom. The Pokémon I have on my shoulder is my big brother, Victini, the Victory Pokémon."
"Oh wow!" exclaimed the green haired girl who had pigtails and wore overalls as she looked at my big brother. "He's so cute!"
'And I can most certainly say that… I hope all of the beautiful people are like you,' Victini replied to the green-haired girl as he kissed her left hand.
"Oh brother," I said as I figured he would be denied affection like usual.
Much to my surprise, the green haired girl liked hearing what Victini said to her and wrapped him in her arms as she liked the words he told her. Another girl, who had a Popplio like me approached Victini as she was interested in him. This girl was a couple years younger than I was and was appropriately dressed with oversized swim trunks, a white sleeveless t-shirt over a black one-piece swimsuit and black sandals on her feet. Her Popplio seemed interested in Victini herself as both of them had never seen my big brother before. Then again none of the students had ever seen a Victini in their lives. My big brother was getting to be well liked by way of his… "charming" personality.
"My name's Mallow," the green haired girl said to Victini. "I like to cook."
"Bounsweet!" added the Grass-type fruit-like Pokémon on her right shoulder.
'As Little Cynthia said, I'm Victini,' my big brother said to Mallow. 'I'm the Psychic/Fire-type Victory Pokémon. My kin are from the Unova region.'
"My name's Lana," the blue haired girl said to Victini as she had a Popplio in her arms, "and this my friend, Popplio."
'Hello there new friend!' Popplio exclaimed happily to Victini before noticing Rika. 'I mean new friends.'
It was then that Shelby let out her Manectric and her Rowlet to greet our new classmates. I let my own shiny female Popplio out to join our classmates along with Benjy and Isabella's own shiny Littens. As everyone was enjoying seeing our new Alola Pokémon as well as the other Pokémon we brought with us, an older man arrived at the school on the back of a Charizard who then flew away. The man had deep dark tan skin, blackened hair with some splashes of reddish orange like lava and wore red shorts and black sandals with a red strap on them. He noticed that Benjy, Shelby, Isabella and me were new to the Pokémon School and came to introduce himself to us.
"Hello there," the man said to me and my friends. "My name is Kiawe. You four must be new here."
"Yes they are," the blonde haired girl, wearing a white dress and white sun hat, said to the man who arrived to the school. "They actually came from a different region. A region we've never heard of called the Atlantica Islands."
"Atlantica Islands, huh?" Kiawe asked as he had never heard of our home region before like the others. "That's a new region."
"Hey, hey!" called out some dork who talked like they were street thugs. "Yo yo… Team Skull is in the house to collect the GOODS!"
"For the love of Arceus," Benjy said as he rolled his eyes, "not another group of punks. Worse than those Neo Team Rocket idiots."
Before anyone could say or take action, Isabella approached the group of three thugs as the students and Kiawe were confused as to what Isabella was doing and why she was approaching the three punks who thought they were straight up street. Rika and Litten followed Isabella to go back her up even though it wasn't necessary. The three punks looked at Isabella and about laughed at her.
"Yo, who's this ugly sucka?" sneered the female punk.
"Doesn't matter, yo," answered the fat punk in the middle as he spotted Rika and Isabella's Litten as they were at her side. "Hey, hey, ya better be smart and give us all ya Pokémon, yo!"
"That's right you stupid foo!" added his male companion. "Otherwise we gonna forget our manners and lay a heavy smackdown on ya. Ya feeling us?"
Isabella said nothing as her face was neutral and emotionless as those three stupid dorks thought they could intimidate the Fire Bender of Tsunami Island. If anything, they had made a really bad mistake as they called out their Pokémon to battle against Isabella. The female idiot called out three Zubats in order to show that she meant business. The other two idiots called on Pokémon that were native to Alola. One group of three Pokémon looked like they were small black crocodile-like Pokémon with fire emanating from their tails. The fat idiot called on ferret-like Pokémon that were from Alola.
"Hey, what's the hold up, yo?" the skinny idiot asked Isabella as she hadn't even asked Rika or her new Litten to come battle for her. "Call your Pokémon so we can battle 'em and snag'em up for Skull."
"You three are a joke," Isabella said to the three idiots who said they were from Team Skull. "Rika doesn't need to battle you, nor does Litten."
'Yeah,' agreed the shiny female Fire Cat Pokémon. 'You're not even worth my time battling.'
"Then if they ain't battlin', cough 'em up," demanded the female Skull grunt.
"I don't think you understand how I work," Isabella said in a calm growl. "If Rika or any of my Pokémon don't feel like battling morons who don't know how take 'no' for an answer, then I will personally deal with them and their Pokémon."
"Huh?" asked a startled and confused Lillie as she heard what Isabella told those Skull morons. "Why would she herself battle the Pokémon and not let her Pokémon do the battling?"
"I'd like to know that myself," agreed Kiawe.
As for the Skull morons, they stupidly ordered their Pokémon to attack Isabella without hesitation. They thought that Rika and Litten would be provoked enough to join the fighting if they saw Isabella in trouble and in danger of dying. Unfortunately for them, they miscalculated and Isabella went to town, first dealing with the Normal-type Pokémon called Yungoos. She punched the first Yungoos, cleaning his clock and knocking him out in swift strike. The next Yungoos tried to use a Rock Tomb attack which effortlessly dodged by Isabella as she leapt up on the boulders hurled at her and then launched herself at the Normal-type Loitering Pokémon that used the Rock-type move to hurt Isabella. The remaining two Loitering Pokémon were no match for Isabella as she defeated them effortlessly and was about to turn and face the Zubats when something defeated them with Heat Wave and all four of us knew which Pokémon was known for using Heat Wave while invisible. The Pokémon that appeared was none other Isabella's shiny male Victini, Sado. We were surprised to see that Sado had followed Isabella to Alola, but Isabella was pleased to see him nonetheless.
"Your Pokémon are defeated," Isabella said to the Skull morons, "and I've made my point to you. Leave now and don't come back."
"Hey!" the tall and skinny Skull grunt called to Isabella as he was insulted. "You ain't even battled my Salandit, yo!"
'Yeah, come back and face us you coward!' one of black Poison/Fire-type Pokémon called to Isabella as he tried to taunt her.
"I have no desire to fight against fellow Fire-type kin," Isabella replied to the three Salandit Pokémon much to the surprise of the Skull morons as she turned her back to them. "Return to your homes and forget about battling for dishonorable cowards who seek only profit in misery of your fellow Pokémon kin."
"You gone and made a fool out of us," the owner of the three Poison/Fire-type Pokémon snarled at Isabella. "And you gonna paid the pied piper, yo!
He then looked to his Salandits and ordered them, "Hit that little wench with ya Flame Burst!"
'It seems that they need to be shown your fire bending, my goddess,' Sado said to Isabella as the three Poison/Fire-type Pokémon fired off their Flame Burst attacks in hopes that Isabella would be burned.
Isabella turned and saw the three Flame Burst attacks coming at her and held her left arm out to catch the Fire-type attacks with her bare hands. Seeing this alarmed Mallow and Lillie as they thought Isabella was going to get burned by catching the Flame Burst attacks with her bare hand. Once the three Fire-type attacks made it to Isabella, she caught them each with her bare hand, forming an orb of fire. The next thing Isabella did really gave our Alola classmates and the Skull morons a really big heart attack as she then inhaled and swallowed the three Flame Burst attacks.
"Are you sure that was a FIRE-TYPE attack?" Isabella asked the Salandits as she still inhaled the orb of fire. "Cuz these are some of the nastiest flames I've ever tasted."
"AHHH!" the Skull morons screamed in absolute horror as they were witnessing Isabella swallow up the three Flame Burst attacks from the Salandits.
The reaction from our new Alola classmates was almost as equally shocking to them as they saw Isabella swallowing up the fire orb. Our classmates had their eyes popping out of their sockets. Then… it was Isabella's turn to retaliate against the Skull morons. There wasn't much they do since they were still in a state of horror.
"I must thank you for the grub," began Isabella as she slowly walked towards the horrified Skull morons and terrified Salandits. "But now I must put this fire to good use and it'll hurt you… a lot more than it will hurt me."
'Don't hurt us!' a female Salandit cried out in absolute terror. 'Mercy!'
Isabella used her Victini Fire-type powers and directed it at the Skull morons in the form of a flaming ribbon twirler as she was a professional gymnast like I was a professional swimmer. The fiery ribbon struck the three Skull morons in multiple places. Once Isabella was finished, the Skull morons… well they left on their motorcycles, shamed, humiliated and without three of their Salandits too. With those idiots gone, things calmed down a bit. But the problem we faced was the fact that Isabella used her Victini Fire-type powers and we needed to explain it away until we felt comfortable telling them the truth about us.
"What was that?" Kiawe asked Isabella as she came back from dealing with those wannabe dorks.
"My father was born into a clan who practice and use Fire magic," Isabella was quick to answer Kiawe. "Daddy had me trained to use his clan's Fire magic."
Kiawe looked puzzled at first at Isabella, but gave a slight nod to her and accepted her answer. The other classmates accepted Isabella's answer as well as it made sense to them that Isabella's ability to swallow fire and not get burned was because she was trained to use Fire-type magic. Kiawe had stated that were people in Alola who practiced magic, but that Isabella's skill was pretty advanced. However, we weren't aware that someone else was watching the scene from afar. On the upside of things, two of the Salandits who belonged to those Skull morons, wanted to be part of our teams. Shelby was all too happy to accept and used a Friend Ball to capture one of the female Salandits. Isabella captured the other one as she was looking to find as many Fire-type Pokémon in Alola as possible.

3rd person POV
oooooooooooo
Hidden in forest was a women with extremely long blonde hair down to her knees and dressed in a white outfit with blonde yellow on the fringes of her shirt. This woman had gotten word that Team Skull was near the vicinity of the Pokémon school her daughter was at and was going to make sure that she was safe. However, when she arrived she noticed Isabella fighting against the Skull grunts without calling on her Pokémon, who were watching from the sidelines. At first the woman was disgusted at seeing Isabella fighting the Pokémon herself, but then was curious as she then saw Isabella catching the three Flame Burst attacks with her bare hands and not even getting singed by the Fire-type attacks. What amazed the woman was when she saw Isabella swallowing the big orb of fire and taunting the three Salandits. On the outside, the woman maintained a calm face and posture. On the inside… that was a different story as internally, she was freaking out by Isabella's display of dominance over the Salandits and humiliation of the Skull grunts. Never in the woman's life had she seen someone with the skills like the ones Isabella had shown. It was then that one of the woman's subordinates had run up to her as she had caught up to the woman.
"Lady Lusamine," the female subordinate in white asked her leader, "shall we go and provide assistance to the Pokémon School?"
"Our assistance is not necessary here anymore," the woman named Lusamine answered her subordinate. "Someone else has stepped up and stepped forward. My daughter will be safe there for the time being.
As Lusamine turned to walk away, she took one last look at Isabella and her three friends who had gathered around her along her now shiny Pokémon and said, "It seems we have newcomers in the Alola region. Gather what information you can on our newcomers and report directly back to me."
"Uh… yes Lady Lusamine," acknowledged the female subordinate as she took a look at the four newcomers and followed her leader.
Unknown to the both of them, another being had taken an interest in the newcomers himself. This being was a Pokémon himself, one of the legendary guardians of the Alola region, Tapu Koko. The Electric/Fairy-type watched the battle in amazement at how a human was able to react so quickly against the Yungoos sent against her and… swallow fire without getting burned. Tapu Koko gulped at the memory of Isabella catching, swallowing the fire like a spicy meatball and using it against the Team Skull grunts.
'Is it possible that the myths about beings born of a union between human and Pokémon are actually true?' wondered the Electric/Fairy-type Land Spirit Pokémon to himself as he recalled overhearing a myth from a pair of locals a hundred thirty years ago.
Tapu Koko then flew off before anyone could spot him. Staying hidden was his strong suit and Tapu Koko wanted to keep it that way until he learned more about the strange newcomers. The Land Spirit Pokémon hoped that the newcomers weren't in Alola to cause or bring any trouble to his home or the home of the other guardian deities. Knowing what he had to, he found a Pidgeot to help him deliver a message to the other deities on the other islands.
'You remember the message that I ask of you to deliver, correct?' Tapu Koko asked the Kanto male Bird Pokémon.
'Yeah,' Pidgeot answered Tapu Koko. 'Tell them that there might be newcomers who fit the bill for those myths about Pokémon/human hybrids, got it.'
Tapu Koko gave the Pidgeot a slight nod of approval and sent him on his way. Once the Kanto Bird Pokémon had left to deliver his message, Tapu Koko observed the four friends from the Atlantica Islands and then said to himself, 'Perhaps these newcomers can help us with the ailments that plague our beloved Alola region. I will personally see to it that they are encouraged to stay here. The Island Challenge shall be the perfect encouragement for them.'
