Chapter 14:

You Cube

Location: Heahea City

"First day on Akala Island!" I said, as I walked through the streets of Heahea City. The tone was certainly different to Hau'oli; there were no skyscrapers or shipping districts. Rather resorts and tourist trap gift shops.

"Hey!" Hau said. "So, where are we headed tomorrow?"

"May I make a suggestion?" We saw a black woman come over to us. She was wearing a pink crop top and a red coat over it. She had a Z-Ring on to.

"Olivia!" Hau said.

"You know her?" I replied.

"Oh yeah!" Hau replied. "She and Hala are good friends. You see, Olivia is the Kahuna of Akala Island! She specializes in Rock Type Pokémon!"

"Alola Hau," Olivia said. "There are three trials on Akala Island. They are located at Brooklet Hill, Wela Volcano and the Lush Jungle. I'd say try Brooklet Hill first."

"Soundzz great! Roto!" Rotom Dex said. "Thank you, Olivia! Zzt!"

"My my," she said. "What an interesting Rotom."

"It's my Pokédex," I said. "A Rotom was delivered from the Sinnoh region and it now inhabits it. It's nice to have a talking companion to help me like this."

Olivia giggled. "You're a fun one. Okay, I'll let you two enjoy your day off. Good luck!" With that, Olivia walked away.

"Hey!" Hau said. "Why don't we check out the Tide Song Hotel? It's a budget hotel here, at least compared to that." Hau pointed to a large resort. "That's the Hano Grand Resort, the most luxurious hotel in Alola. You need to save a pretty penny to stay there for even a week though."


Me and Hau walked to the cheaper resort. The Tide Song Hotel was white and had many Water Type Pokémon painted on the wall. There was a fountain with a Horsea on top.

"This is certainly more affordable," Hau said. "But I think we'll just stick to the beds at the Pokémon Center."

Just then, two people came out of the hotel. One was white with short-blonde hair with a yellow shirt on. It had the silhouette of an Alolan Exeggutor on it. The other was a tanned woman with medium-black hair, short shorts and a white top. With them was a metal Pokémon that was round. It had a gear-like head. It was princess-like in appearance.

177.5 lbs (80.5 kg)

Built roughly 500 years ago by a scientist, the part called the Soul-Heart is the actual life-form.

Mythical Pokémon?!


"Woah woah woah! Zzt!" Rotom Dex shouted. "A Mythical Pokémon? And a manmade one at that?!"

Magearna hid behind the man, a bit frightened. "Sorry," he said. "Magearna is a bit shy."

"Fascinating," I said. "Not everyday you see a Mythical Pokémon. Sorry if Rotom Dex caused any nuisance."

"WHAT? ZZT? NUIZZANCE! Excuzze me!"

"It's fine!" said the woman. "Alola! My name is Sina. This is my research partner Dexio. We came to Alola to do some research on Zygarde."

"Zygarde?" Hau asked. "You mean the Legendary Pokémon of the Kalos region?"

"Yep!" Dexio said. "And that's where we are from! The Pokémon over there are fascinating, as are the ones in Alola. Pokémon from here are exceptionally rare over there."

"Amazing," I said. "Hey, why don't we have a battle? Kalos vs. Alola, how's that sound?"

Dexio and Sina got out a Pokéball each. "Sounds good!" they both said.

"You're on!" said Hau.


Elliott and Hau Vs. Dexio and Sina

"I choose Glaceon!" shouted Sina, sending out a light-blue Pokémon with long ears.

"Dartrix, go!" Hau shouted.

"And I choose Torracat!" I said.

"Okay Glaceon, Icy Wind!" Glaceon breathed cold wind at Dartric for a lot of damage. It almost knocked it out, and its Speed fell.

"Espeon, Confusion!" Espeon sent a Psychic pulse into Torracat's head, doing a tiny bit of damage to it.

"Now Dartrix, Ominous Wind!" Dartrix flapped its wings and blew dark wind at Espeon. It did quite a lot.

"Torracat, Fire Fang!" Torracat set its teeth on fire, then lunged at Glaceon. The Super Effective hit knocked out Glaceon in one fell swoop.

"Now Espeon, use Confusion again!" Espeon sent a Psychic pulse into Dartrix, dealing the final blow.

"Torracat, use Leer!" Torracat stared down Espeon, lowering Defense.

"Now Quick Attack!" Espeon dashed into Torracat for minimal damage.

"And now Fire Fang!" Torracat chomped down on Espeon. The Defense drop really helped pack a punch. Or bite, whatever.

"Use Confusion again!" Espeon sent out another Psychic pulse, but it missed!

"Finish with Fire Fang!" Torracat did just that, downing Espeon.


"Wow, Trainers in Alola are magnifique, don't you agree Sina?"

"Oui!"

"We did it!" I said, as me and Hau hi-fived.

"So, you did," said Dexio. "Say, how would you two like a… quest of sorts?"

"Sure," I said. "What?"

Sina handed me a green cube. "This is a Zygarde Cube. We're trying to reconstruct Zygarde. Cells are found all over Alola. Gather then, then bring them to us so its core can be reconstructed. They are barely visible though."

I looked around and saw something green and sparkling. I went over to it, then pressed the Zygarde Cube. There was something gooey and flat that turned into green energy and went in.

"That's one!" Sina said. "Find some more and then meet us at our base on Ula' Ula Island!"

"This'll be fun!" I said. "But tomorrow, it's onto Brooklet Hill!"

Zzt! How exzziting is thizz? Roto! The Legendary Pokémon Zygarde! It will be reconzztructed! So, in honour, let'zz look at a Dragon Type move! The move we will be looking at today izz…
