Toa Solaric: I don't own pokemon as they belong to Nintendo. Welcome back to another chapter of Pokemon Sun and Moon: Michael's Journey. Though this chapter is a bit longer than other ones...
Pokemon Sun and Moon: Michael's Journey
Ch5: Fishing for dreams
It was a bright morning in the Alola region, but our attention focus on the house belonged to Professor Kukui. Mizuki was the one who opens it.
It's been passed a week and half since she joins the Pokemon School. She enjoy hanging out with her new friends especially Michael. Though she is still not used to battle with her new companion Rowlet, but she still spend time with the cute owl pokemon and play with other pokemons.
Also she and Michael are sharing the Alola regional's Pokedex together due to both of them in the same class, but Michael interested in the Trial. What surprise them was a pokemon that Mizuki recognize as Rotom, plasma pokemon inhabit the Pokedex and even talk too! But Mizuki decide to call him RotomDex for short. Michael let RotomDex stay with Mizuki since she need him the more as this made her touched that he worried for her inexperienced.
"We're off." Mizuki said happily after opening the door.
She come down the stairs with RotomDex flying beside her. Mizuki petting the cute rock puppy pokemon who come to greet her in the morning.
"See you, Rockruff." Mizuki said as Rockruff let out barks.
"Rockruff likes it when you rub its chin." RotomDex said. "Data updated, zzt!"
"While you were saying that, Mizuki took off with Extreme Speed." Professor Kukui said.
This made the pokemon inhabited in the regional Pokedex turns around in shock to see the young girl already off.
"Wait for me!" RotomDex cried out, trying to catch up with the young girl.
(In the Pokemon School ground)
Mizuki arrives at the school… but not before seeing a pokemon battle occurred on the school ground with many students seem to be gathering around. She then saw Lillie among the crowd and approached her.
"Alola, Lillie." Mizuki greeted.
"Alola, Mizuki." The paled blonde hair girl said.
"What is going on here?" Mizuki asked, curious.
"Well, you see that someone from another class challenged Michael into a battle and Michael agree but add the condition of Double Battle." Lillie explains, making Mizuki look surprise.
"Eh? Really?" Lillie nodded. She notices there are quite number of students want to challenging Michael recently. After gain Bulbasaur, Michael decide to change the condition to Double Battle now.
Mizuki move passed through other students to get a better look at the fight.
Indeed. Michael was having a double battle with another student from another class. Standing in front of him are his Espeon and Bulbasaur who used to be her pokemon until they made a trade.
On the side was a male student with two pokemons… Weavile and Machoke.
"Weavile, uses Ice shards on Espeon and Bulbasaur! Machoke hit Espeon with Dynamic Punch!" The unknown trainer command.
The Sharp Claw pokemon try to fire icy shards at both pokemons, but the two pokemons end up dodging from the attacks. But Machoke seem to be targeting Espeon with a furious orange glowing punch.
Espeon, I am going to get you close to Weavile and end with Iron Tail… Michael thought as Espeon give a slight nodded.
"Bulbasaur, throwing Espeon into the air with Vine Whip." Michael command.
"Bulb!" Bulbasaur turns around and sending his vines to grabbed the lavender feline before tossing him straight into the air… and sending him straight to Weavile who look confused.
"Huh? Why would you do such a thing?" The unnamed student asked disbelief… before he notices a small smirk on his face and realized what happens. "Oh no! Weavile, used Shadow Ball!"
But the order come too late. Espeon's tail glowing with energy before he performed a downward Iron Tail. The steel attack hits Weavile hard and sending the pokemon rolling across the floor. Weavile fainted from the critical damage and the effect of poison powder.
"Michael only order Bulbasaur to attack, but how is it possible for Espeon know what to do without voice any orders?" RotomDex intrigued.
"I think it possible that Espeon picks up Michael's thoughts..." Mizuki said. Though she doesn't know much… but she remember watching someone using similar method and that she is a famous battler from another region.
But using it in double battle is quite rare since it takes a true cooperation between trainer and two pokemons.
"I see. Because Espeon is psychic?" Lillie asked.
"I've seen someone used that tactic before…but not in double battle." Mizuki said, making Lillie and RotomDex look surprise.
"Machoke, used your Cross Chop on Espeon!" Machoke's arms glowing followed its trainer's command, and it's charged at the psychic type. Espeon looks at Machoke with a boring expression and didn't do anything else. But it wasn't expect Bulbasaur stopped the fighting type by grabbing the legs with vine whips.
"Now sending him up into the air and passed it to Espeon." Michael commanded to Bulbasaur.
The grass type did that and tossed him straight into the air before Espeon caught Machoke with psychic power then the psychic feline made the fighting type dizzy than before.
(That should be over for you.) Espeon said before landed the fighting pokemon on top of Weavile. This action knocked out Machoke in the process.
With that done, the unnamed trainer returns both of his pokemons back to their pokeballs and notices Michael was walking away with his pokemons.
"Wait! How can you be so good?" The unnamed trainer asked.
"That is none of your business." Michael replied before walking away with his pokemons.
"Michael, wait for us!" Lillie said as she and Mizuki following him from behind.
But unknown to the redhead, there were two people watching them nearby. It was none other than Mao and Suiren. The two girls are still wary of the redhead being near their friend Lillie and the new student Mizuki.
"What is his game here?" Suiren asked.
"… he still have not doing anything suspicious this week." Mao muttered.
The two have been following Michael secretly in hope of finding out any evidences to prove their suspicious that Michael was nothing but troubled... but the two girls and their pokemons couldn't finds anything odd.
First attempt, they trying to following him whenever he was heading to the city. But the redhead didn't any strange except visit stores, eating with his pokemons, and challenging random trainers on the road.
Second attempt, they following Michael straight to the Professor Kukui's place. But they need to be careful of not letting their teacher, Rockruff, and Mizuki find out their plan. They didn't find any but Michael only helping Mizuki in practice battles despite her inexperience. Though they give up their claim about Michael seduce Mizuki, but they were surprised how Mizuki talk casually with him… despite his rough personality.
Last attempt, they check with Lillie often to see if Michael did anything odd. But to finds out that he was either reading in his room or training in the courtyard with the wild pokemons. Even James and the servants claimed the same thing that Lillie says making both girls feeling even more frustrated.
But the two won't give up on finding evidences that the redhead seem to be hiding something from them...
"Oh? What are you two doing here?" This cause both girls to become startled before they saw Mamane behind them with Togedemaru.
"Mamane, don't startled us like that!" Mao said. She almost thought it will be someone like Professor Kukui finding out about them.
"Don't tell me that… you two are stalking Michael?" Mamane asked with a grin.
The question throws the two girls off guard. Making the two girls drop their jaws dropped.
"W-What are you talking about?" Suiren asked disbelief.
"We aren't doing any sort of things. We are making sure that he isn't causing any troubles to Lillie." Mao said, getting angry at Mamane's accusation.
"Is that so…? But don't you know that people around the city notice your stalking activity around Michael? They were thinking you were secretly infatuated with him." Mamane snicker.
This end up causing both girls to frozen at Mamane's words and wore speechless expressions on their faces. Everyone else thinking they were stalking Michael?
"H-How could that be…?" Suiren stuttered disbelief.
"That's… preposterous! It must be some sort of joke, Mamane!" Mao said. That was true, she didn't even have time thinking of getting a boyfriend.
But the orange hair boy shaking his head in dismay. "I am assured you that it wasn't a joke. People been talking on the streets when they saw you two stalking them and they give me some of the pictures. Here." Mamane said, taking out some pictures from his pocket.
Mao snatch the pictures as she and Suiren look at the pictures before their eyes wide in shock and turns white... No way. These pictures showing when they were following Michael in the streets especially when they were using books to covered their faces… Suiren facepalmed. She knows that Mao's idea of using books as cover was really a bad idea. But somehow people takes these pictures of them when they were not suspecting them. Mamane was telling the truth.
"No… this cannot be happening." Mao said.
"I don't think Michael be aware of the rumors, but if someone ask about the rumor and he says yes—" Before Mamane can finished, both girls and their pokemons soon ran off straight to class.
(In the classroom)
"The theme of tomorrow's extracurricular lesson is connecting with sea pokemon." Professor Kukui informed to the class. "We're all going to the sea!"
This made Michael blinks surprise at the tomorrow's activity which involve going out to the sea.
"Eh? Really?" Mizuki asked, surprise.
"The key to connecting with sea pokemon is... a fishing rod!" Professor Kukui said before pulling out a purple fishing rod which have a small bait resembled Rockruff's head.
"Now, speaking of the sea… Suiren!" Professor Kukui called to his student.
"Y-Yes?" The blue haired girl response.
"Tomorrow, Suiren will be a special lecturer!" Professor Kukui said. "Thank you for your help."
"Thanks. I'll do my best!" Suiren said with a smile.
"When fishing, you have to touch pokemon. Will you be alright, Lillie?" Mamane asked to the paled blonde hair girl.
"No problem!" Lillie said with confident. "I've prepared a secret weapon!"
This made the class and even Michael was curious about Lillie's plan.
"That's good to know." Suiren said with her Popplio in her arms.
But suddenly the water pokemon accident jumps into Lillie's laps, causing the young girl to freeze in shocked.
"P-Popplio…!" Suiren said before taking back her pokemon into her arms.
"Be careful, Popplio!" Professor Kukui said, knowing Lillie's fear of pokemon.
"…" Lillie stood frozen and paled than before. Michael let out a facepalmed.
"I'm sorry, Lillie." Suiren apologized. "Popplio is sorry too." The water pokemon apologized for what happens.
"I-It's fine…" Lillie said nervous, wipe the sweat from her face.
Soon the professor left the room before looking back at students. "Okay, everyone! Don't forget your fishing rods tomorrow!" he said before leaving.
"Oh. Michael doesn't have a fishing rod…" Lillie said in realization.
"I don't have one either!" Mizuki added. Without a fishing rod, she could not participate in the tomorrow event.
"Don't worry. I have extras at my place for Mizuki and Michael." Suiren said smile. But… she wants Michael to come over since there is something she need to try. This might be one chance to confirm it.
"Really?" Mizuki asked.
"No… It's not a problem." Suiren response.
"Then there will be no problem." Michael said.
Mizuki soon walk toward Michael's table with something she want to ask him about. "Hey Michael… I was wonder if you're such a great battler, did you even attend in the pokemon leagues or thinking of challenging them?" she asked.
"No. I don't." Michael replied.
"Why not?" Mizuki asked.
"There is nothing for me to gain." Michael answers.
"Even if it the title of champion of region league?" Mizuki asked. She is certainly trainers challenging in the leagues to seek to battle for the title of champion.
"No. There is no one in the leagues will interested me or fight them." Michael said.
This made his classmates look a bit surprised at the redhead's response. This is the first time they meet a trainer who have no interest in fighting in a league and even wonder why he takes up pokemon battle in first place since he is really skillful.
Mizuki is certainly that her friend somehow lost the joy of pokemon battles from his responses. There have to be a way to get him interested once again… She suddenly have an idea!
Michael then notices Mizuki head back to her table and opens her backpack without disturbing Rowlet who still sleeping on the table. The black hair girl then takes her laptop she brought from home.
"Mizuki, what are you doing?" Lillie asked curious.
"There is someone I am certainly will get Michael interested in pokemon battles. After all, he is well-known in Kanto." Mizuki answers before opens the laptop and turns it on.
This made Michael looks a bit skeptical at Mizuki's idea. She think that there is someone can get him interested in battle like Tapu Koko?
"Who is this person anyway?" Kiawe asked, somehow got interested in the conversation.
"Yeah. Who could this person be?" RotomDex inquired.
Soon Mizuki places the laptop on Michael's table as everyone starting to gather around to see what Kanto native girl was doing.
"Michael… everyone… I want you all watch the finale in Kalos Conference in the Kalos region." Mizuki said, getting their attention.
"After countless battles, we're again here at the Kalos League, the Lumiose Conference!" The announcer said. "It's the finals at last! We've made it to the final battle!"
Soon walking out to the two halve platforms are two men.
One was young man around the age of 16, wearing a red hat over his spark black hair and z pattern on his cheeks. He wears blue-white shirt and gray pants. There also a Pikachu hanging over his shoulder.
The second one was another trainer who looks a bit older than other one with black scarf around his neck, wore black jacket and gray pants with shoes.
"And the final round is…" The announcer said as the battlefield rising up from below. The battlefield revealed to be a rocky area with a waterfall.
"No way… are you talking about Ash Ketchum?" Lillie asked surprised. This made Michael blinks in confusion.
"Who is Ash?" Michael questioned.
"He is quite well known back in Kanto especially with his partner Pikachu." Mizuki said.
"Ash Ketchum…" Michael muttered, looking at the boy with the Pikachu. He isn't sure why… but he got this strange feeling about this boy.
Soon the referee explains the rules about the battle which is six on six and that the battlefield will changes when one side have three pokemons left.
Then Ash send out his Pikachu and Alain send out his pokeball which contain Tyranitar the Armor Pokemon. Tyranitar let out a roar as a sand storm appeared on the battlefield.
Tyranitar first unleashed Dark Pulse, but Pikachu dodges and made some rocks fall into the stream. Suddenly Ash told Pikachu to uses Iron tail on the water to get rid of the sandstorm and spread water on the Armor Pokemon. Tyranitar looks around before Ash told Pikachu to uses Thunderbolt on the pokemon while it was wet from the water. Pikachu send out Electro Ball while Tyranitar to counter with Stone Edges. Then Alain told Tyranitar to slammed its tail at the rocks and send them at Pikachu. But Ash told Pikachu to counter with Iron Tail
Then Tyranitar was ordered to charge with Crunch. But Ash told Pikachu to used Iron Tail, Tyranitar bite the Iron Tail and send the yellow mouse pokemon flying in the air. Ash then ordered Pikachu to uses Electro Ball and it taken out Tyranitar.
"That is one impressive Pikachu..." Mamane said.
(I have to admit that Pikachu is quite fast with Iron Tail…) Espeon comment.
"It still too early to determine." Michael response. But he have to admit that Ash wasn't that bad… though he could've used the water to his advantage. But he is also curious about Alain's potential here…
Soon the battles goes to Weavile and Noviren before the battle was ended shortly after Noviren got taken out by small Ice Beam and Night Slash. Then Ash's next pokemon Hawlucha taken over the fight and defeated Weavile. But Alain's Bisharp, the Sword Blade Pokemon was able to take down with Thunder Wave and Guillotine.
The battle then take it to the sky once again with Ash send out Talonflame and Alain send out Unfezant (male). Both flying types giving their all in this match. But the fight ends up being a tie for both side with Sky Attack and Brave Bird. Soon the battlefield starting change immediately to that of grassland field.
Soon Ash send out his Pikachu again and Alain called out Metagross from his pokeball. Metagross start off with Agility to corner Pikachu who try to get away from it before throwing in Rock Slide and Metal Claws to hurt Pikachu further. But the Pikachu didn't give up and counter with Electro Ball and even get on top of Metagross before shooting down Thunderbolts.
Though it was hard to know who is going to win, but Pikachu become the winner here. But Alain then send out his next pokemon and it none other than…
"A Charizard…" Suiren muttered in surprised.
Not to mention it wore that…Kiawe thought.
Michael was silent through the whole fight. But his interesting wasn't just on the battle, more on the pokemons in the Kalos region. Like Alola, there are pokemons he did not recognizes and wonder if RotomDex can looks them up later.
"Why is it wearing an accessory?" Michael asked.
"You'll see." Mizuki said as she doesn't want to spoil the film.
Pikachu start with a good start on Quick Attack then followed up shooting a Thunderbolts, but Charizard still standing. Ash soon order Quick Attack, but Pikachu was tired from previous fight. Alain takes the chance of giving order to Charizard in firing off Flamethrower at Pikachu and knocked the rodent to the floor.
Soon Alain ordered Charizard to fired flamethrower. But Pikachu manages to have enough strength to following Ash's orders and used Iron Tail on the sand to protect itself.
"Impressive… Dragon Claws!" Alain shout.
"Iron Tail!" Ash shout.
The two pokemons clashed as Pikachu fall to the ground. Ash ran straight onto the field and picks up Pikachu.
Then the announcer says that both Alain and Ash have even number of pokemons once more. Ash got out his next pokemon which is Goodra. Alain returns Charizard and summoned out Bisharp once more to battle.
Goodra used Rain Dance to call upon the rain over the grass field. Goodra used Ice Beam, but Bisharp dodge try to use Iron Head. But Goodra able to catch the pokemon and throws it into the air before trying to fired Dragon Pulse. Bisharp fired Focus Blast to counter the blast. Alain barked out orders for Iron Head and Focus Blast at Goodra who use Bide as it taking damages from Bisharp. It wasn't long until it released the blast through Bide, but Bisharp was still standing.
Alain tells Bisharp to use Iron Head while Goodra was told to fire Dragon Pulse but it wasn't good enough for Bisharp to take down the dragon pokemon.
"Goodra, thank you." Ash said before return it to it's pokeball and take out another one. "We'll settle this with you."
Ash with a new determined look before throwing his pokeball forward. "Go… Greninja!" he shout.
Coming out of the pokeball was a blue frog who resembles a ninja with its long tongue wore like a scarf.
Bisharp charge with Iron Head, but Greninja used Double Teams to multiples. Bisharp only hit the fakes before following Greninja clones into the air. Soon the real one revealed itself and dodges the attacks before struck Bisharp with Water Shurikens.
This result Bisharp fainted and fall straight to the ground. Alain have no choice, but returns Bisharp to its pokeball and throws out Charizard into the field once more despite the weather.
"This battle will be decided by both of the contestants' last pokemon!" The announcer said.
"Charizard, it's our long-awaited battle against Greninja." Alain said with a smile. "Let's enjoy it to the end!"
Charizard let out of roar with hot flame.
"Greninja, let's show them our best and prove that we're worthy opponents!" Ash said to his last pokemon who nodded. "Charge, Greninja!"
"Fly at him, Charizard!"
The two pokemons soon charged at each other… They soon getting close to one enough…
"Flamethrower!" Charizard soon response with powerful flame from it's jaw.
"Dodge!" Greninja leap into the air grateful and dodge the flame before hearing Ash's next order. "Greninja, Cut!"
Greninja materialized a small blade of light and slashing Charizard in the stomach, knocking the flame pokemon back.
"The Cut attack hit! It definitely feeling it!" The announcer said as the clouds are rolling away from the battlefield. The sun soon shined over the grass field.
"Let's go, Greninja…!" Ash said with new determination in his eyes.
He raised his left waist while Greninja raising its right arm as if they're moving in sync. "Greninja, let's show them!"
Suddenly Greninja was surrounding by water geyser had appeared. Greninja's body also changed colors slight as it appeared to look a little more like Ash. The water geyser soon transformed into a large water shuriken behind its back. This is Ash-Greninja.
Alain smile before pressed his two fingers on the black ring on his arm. "Charizard! Respond to my heart, Key Stone! Surpass evolution, Mega evolve!" he cried out as energy shot out of the Key Stone and the stone around Charizard's neck. Then, in an instant, Charizard transformed as it became black and blue with red eyes. This is Mega Charizard X.
"No way… that form… that the rumored Greninja form!" Suiren gasped in response to her classmates' expression.
"I-I-Is this really possible!?" RotomDex exclaimed in shock.
But the one who was more confused in the room is none other than Michael and Espeon.
"What in the world are those forms?" Michael asked shock and disbelief. After Z-Move, he never imagine of seeing pokemons changed forms now. "And what happens with Charizard? Why did it turn black and blue?"
"It's Mega Evolution." Lillie answers to the redhead's question.
"Mega… evolution…? What is that?" Michael asked.
"It a way for certain numbers of pokemon have ability to evolve past their final evolutionary stage through their bond with a human trainer, but the pokemon can reverts back to their old state after they are done being used. That Charizard Mega evolved into Mega Charizard X which is a fire and dragon type now. But what happens to Greninja is still a mystery and it definitely not Mega Evolution." Lillie explains serious.
(Michael, do you think that this is opposite of how Shadow Pokemon were made?) Espeon asked to his brother.
Michael's eyes cannot get any wide than before when he hears that. Espeon is onto something important here. 'You're onto something. Shadow Pokemons gained their power from their hatred of the world while those Mega evolved have close bond with their trainers to boost up their stats and power. Unlike Mega evolution, Shadow Pokemons cannot getting any stronger from where they are and hurt themselves when using their own power. They are truly on opposite ends of the affection spectrum.' Michael thought. When he thought Z-moves will be the new power here, but it turns out this world have more surprises than his own. But he need to know more before he can truly confirm his theory be true.
"Is Mega evolution strong as Z-move?" Michael asked.
"There was never a battle between Z-Move and Mega Evolve before. Or even used Z-move with a Mega Evolved Pokemon." Kiawe said. If someone really did combine the power of Z-move and Mega Evolution combined… then it will be devastating combo.
"It's the final round of the decisive battle for the top of the Kalos League!" The announcer said.
"Dash, Greninja!" Ash command. Ash-Greninja charge forward at Mega Charizard X. "Double Teams!"
Soon Ash-Greninja glowing for brief before multiple itself once again.
"Mow them down with Flamethrower!" Alain shout.
Mega Charizard X fired powerful blue flames at all of the clones to create a large smoke in front of Alain's vision.
"Water Shuriken now!"
The real Ash-Greninja appeared and takes the water shuriken from its back and throws at Mega Charizard X.
"Dragon Claw!" Soon Charizard X unleashed green energy like claws and slashed down the water shuriken.
"Aerial Ace!"
"Dragon Claw!"
The two pokemons soon clashed with each other when using their respective moves before Charizard X throws a sky uppercut at Ash-Greninja and send it backward. This somehow made Ash flinched in pain after what happens with his pokemon, but he does not give up.
"Flamethrower!" Alain ordered.
Charizard X flying up into the air and fired out blue flames before it coming toward Ash-Greninja.
"Use Cut!" Ash snapped as Ash-Greninja regain its focused.
When the blue flamethrower coming at it, Ash-Greninja slash through the blue flames.
"Blast Burn!" Alain shout.
The Mega Flame Pokemon fly downward before slammed its fist into the ground as flame surging through the grassland.
"Thrust your water shuriken to the ground!" Ash ordered as Ash-Greninja just did that to counter against the Blast Burn.
"They defended against Blast Burn with Water Shuriken! I've never seen such battle before!" The announcer said as everyone seen a large fog in the middle of the grassland.
"Aerial Ace!" Ash shout as Ash-Greninja charging forward at Mega Charizard X and hit it hard in the head.
"Charizard, can you get up?" Alain asked with concern for his pokemon who regains its footing.
"Ash, thanks to you, I'm thoroughly enjoying myself right now." Alain said. "However… I must become the strongest. I cannot lose to anyone anymore! Charizard, Dragon Claw!"
The black Charizard charge forward and send Ash-Greninja skidding across the grass field. This cause pain to Ash as well.
But Ash was able to overcome and resume his confident look.
"No matter who falls, let's have no hard feeling, Alain!" Ash said. "Try and take on the full power of all of us! Greninja, Cut!"
Alain ordered for Dragon Claw once again as the two super powered pokemons clashed with each other once more and they stood against each other as if they're equal.
"Water Shuriken!"
"Thunder Punch!"
Ash-Greninja spins its water shuriken around to protect from Charizard's thunder punch several times. When spotted an opening, Ash-Greninja thrust the water shuriken forward at Mega Charizard X's stomach and send it skidding back.
"Let's do this, Water Shuriken… FULL POWER!" Ash snapped as more water geyser appear and Ash-Greninja spins its water shuriken before it become much bigger and glowing orange.
Alain's eyes wide in shock as he never seen this before. "Blast Burn!" He shout as the black dragon unleashed full power of Blast Burn to the ground.
The two attacks went past each other before they went straight for the other pokemons and caused a large explosion.
It was no longer until the smoke fade away, everyone can see the two pokemon still standing and the two pokemon stares hard at each other…
But Mega Charizard X closed its eyes and falling into the ground immediately. This cause Alain to become shocked and disbelief.
"No… Charizard!" Alain cried out to his pokemon and ran toward his pokemon.
"Charizard is unable to battle. Therefore, the winner is Ash Ketchum." The referrer said.
Ash couldn't believe what happens before he falls straight to his knees. His Pikachu couldn't believe what happens either and has water in his eyes.
"It settled! The one who took fierce fighting to the next level in the Kalos League finals is Ash!" The announcer exclaimed excited from the fight.
"After so long… we made it… we really made it… After six years, we did it!" Ash said excited before ran to Greninja who reversal back to its original form.
The trainer and his pokemon have tears of joying running down their face after they embraced. Pikachu is crying happily. The electric rodent soon joins the two in embraced for what happens.
After saying some words of praises to Alain who seem to be still sad, Ash and his pokemons followed a man out of the battlefield. Soon Ash was greeted by honey blonde hair girl and two blonde hair siblings as the honey blonde hair girl have tears in her eyes and hugged him along with two siblings.
Ash's friends followed Ash as he given the trophy by Diantha the champion of Kalos…
"That Greninja is so amazing…!" Suiren said excited for the cool water pokemon.
"That form is something no one can achieve before…" Lillie said. Even seen the fight in Mizuki's video, she still find it unbelievable. "What do you think—Michael?!"
Others turns around and couldn't believe their eyes… Michael is smiling after finishing watching the video on Mizuki's laptop.
H-He is smiling? Mao thought with disbelief.
Michael smiling. "I wish to fight him and his Greninja someday…"
Ash proved worthy of his attention with his pokemons especially Greninja with unique form. Not to mention existence of Mega Evolution astonished the redhead. If he also faces Ash in battle someday… maybe he can regain the sparks of battling.
But there was something else catch his attention and the scene of Ash and his friends especially the honey blonde hair girl. It not that he consider her attractive. But she seem to have an expression who happy for their crush… and her crush was none other than Ash.
"I am glad that you like it, Michael." Mizuki said, smiling. "But there might be a problem if you trying to fight Greninja with Espeon since Greninja is part dark type." She added.
(Curse you, ninja frog!) Espeon cursed angry at the mention of Greninja's dark type.
Well, you can fight with the Pikachu… that pokemon is sure strong than old man Eagun's Pikachu, Michael thought.
"If Charizard can Mega evolve, does it mean same for Blastoise and Venusaur?" Michael asked. If one of the Kanto Starter can Mega evolve, should it goes same for other two?
"Yes, they can. My brother have his Blastoise Mega evolved." Mizuki confirmed.
After hearing that, Michael remembers what he learns about his new Bulbasaur especially his rivalry with Blastoise. But he is curious on how strong Mega evolve pokemons are… Not to mention the key to Mega evolution with those two stones. After he collect all the Z-crystals, maybe his next course will be Kalos where Mega evolution was discovered and uncovered their secrets. Maybe he can even find out what happens if Mega evolved pokemon used Z-Move…
The redhead looks at his Bulbasaur who was interested in Greninja who beaten the Fire Kanto Starter after watch the video.
"You want to fight Greninja, don't you?" Michael asked. The Kanto Grass Starter nodded to his trainer.
"Then I will count on you after we get you to a Venusaur and get Mega Evolution stone." Bulbasaur have a pleased look at his trainer especially having another potential pokemon to challenge. Reaching the potential of Mega evolution that his rival was the way he want to go now.
It wasn't long until Pokemon School ended with Michael, Espeon, Mizuki, and RotomDex accompanied Suiren to her house.
Suiren soon stop until they reach a part of the beach. "Umm… there is something I want to show you guys," she said. This get out Michael from his thought and looks at her.
"Popplio. The Sea Lion Pokemon. A water type. It can control water balloons and practices diligently so it can learn to make big ones." RotomDex said after looking up the information around Popplio.
"Now I think about it. I often seen you two practice here." Mizuki said.
"Yeah. This is our spot." Suiren said. But she does not want to admit that they were also trying to following the redhead. "This is where we meet."
Suiren tells them that she was fishing on Lapras before finding Popplio being bullied by Team Skull members and Lapras use Ice Beam on Team Skull. She then throws her rod to get Popplio away from the frozen Team Skull and immediately left for Pokemon Center. After what happens with Team Skull, Suiren vow to look after Popplio so it won't hate human and the Sea Lion Pokemon become her partner. This story seem to touch both Michael and Mizuki.
"I'm happy that you have a good friend like Suiren." Mizuki said happily to Popplio who let out a bark happily before the pokemon blow bubbles from its nose.
Mizuki poke her finger at the bubble before she was surprise when the water hit her face. "Wow… that is cold." She said.
Michael looks at the bubble before it reach top of his head and pop to pour water on his head.
Espeon using his tail and touch the bubble before water hit his back.
"Once we get better at it, you can go inside a bubble too!" Suiren said. This made Michael blinks in confusion.
"I am sorry? I don't understand what you're saying…" Michael said confused.
"I have a dream." Suiren said as she looking back at the sea. "I'll go into a balloon and go wherever I want to in the sea! And I'm sure I might meet deep sea pokemon that I've never seen before!"
She then looks back at Michael and waiting for his response. If he end up laughing and say how foolish her dream then it certain prove that Michael isn't a good person…
"It must be nice to have a dream like that." Michael answers soft. This made Suiren looks surprise that Michael didn't even laughed at her dream than she originally expect. This made her even confused to why he isn't laughing or mocking her dream?
"Yeah, I wish I have something like that as well." Mizuki agreed with a smile.
Unknown to Suiren, Espeon is already aware of her thought about trying to prove Michael is a bad guy but amusing she got caught off guard. He did not get involve since this is something Michael need to handle when getting along with his classmates… The lavender cat also have high hope of Michael end up getting a mate after he graduated from Pokemon School.
It wasn't long until Suiren shows them what their practice have gone with Popplio made a large water balloon which end up getting them all wet in the process.
Soon enough, they continued onward as their clothes got dried after reaching her house which close to the dock.
"A Lapras…" Michael said, seeing the pokemon resting near the dock. He recognize it as a Pokemon that usually was very difficult to spot... and yet he could see one so easily in Alola.
'This region really is something else... if only she could see this...' In his mind Michael was seeing that Alola with being full of life in a tropical climate was the exact opposite of Orre... and so he really wished his sister could be here too, no doubt she would be very happy in a place like this.
"Yes, that is my Ride Pokemon." Suiren explains.
"Now you mention I seen a lot of people riding them when I first come here." Mizuki recalled.
They soon walk into the house before they are greeted by an older woman who seem to resembled Suiren with a ponytail who walking with two younger girls with looks like Suiren but with lighter blue hair.
"Welcome back, Suiren." The woman said.
"Welcome back! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!" The young twins said. Though they looks the same, but they were different as they wore a shirt with Shellder and a shirt with Slowpoke.
"Gulp?" Mizuki asked confused as RotomDex picking up picture of Magikarp and Michael looked at those twin with an arched eyebrow.
"Are these your classmates?" The woman asked in a kind tone of voice.
"Yes, mom. This is Michael and his Espeon, Mizuki and RotomDex." Suiren said. "This is my mom Suika, and my twin younger sisters Hou and Sui."
Her mom looks at them, but her attention focus on Michael before looking back at her daughter... thus an idea popped into her mind.
"Is Michael your boyfriend?" Her mom asked. This made Michael blink in confused.
"MOM! H-HE IS NOT LIKE THAT!" Suiren cried out in embarrassment, blushing furiously. She was not expecting hearing this from her own mother… her younger twin sisters are the one she was expecting such question.
"Really, really, really?" Her younger twins asked suspicious and with smiles in their faces since they can tease their sister.
"Yes, really, really, really!" Suiren protest.
(For an older sister… she is not good with keeping her composition.) Espeon admit to Michael.
Michael can't help but agreed with Espeon. However, he don't understand why Suiren's mother think he is Suiren's boyfriend. 'This world is stranger than ever… yet is a very refreshing change'
"It's nice to meet you. My name is Mizuki, I am from the same class as Suiren and Michael." Mizuki said.
"It's my pleasure of meeting you two, Mizuki and Michael." Suika said with a sweet smile.
Michael notices that Suiren's younger sisters are looking fascinating at Espeon while Espeon looking back at them with the same stare. No doubt a Pokemon that can only evolve by friendship is a rare sight.
"Hey can we play with Espeon?" Hou, one of the twins asked to the redhead.
This snaps Suiren out of her embarrassment as she start to get a little nervous when her younger sister want to play with Michael's pokemon…
"Of course. Espeon, please don't be rough on them." Michael said in surprise kindly tone. Espeon nodded to his partner who come close to sniffing the twins out of curiosity.
This caught Suiren off guard as the redhead being kind to her younger sisters and let them play with his pokemon… It doesn't make any sense to her.
"Come on, Espeon!" Sui, the other twin said as the three went straight into the living room together.
"I am surprise that you didn't mention that he is so nice, Suiren." Her mother said quiet to Suiren who didn't know what to say.
The twins were playing tag with Espeon moving around the living room before the twins caught up to him and touch his forehead.
"Tag! You're it!" The twins said at the same time.
But Espeon decide to do something else before his eyes glowing. Soon the twins find themselves hovering in the middle of the living room.
"This is so cool!" Hou said with awe.
"I am flying!" Sui said happily as she spread her arms out and flying like a bird pokemon. "Look at me… I am flying!"
"I can see that, but don't crash into each other. Okay?" Michael said showing concern for the twins.
"Okay, Mikey!" The twins said before they fly across the living room. But they didn't know that Michael have a slight surprise look on his face when the twins call him 'Mikey'. After all… his dad used to call him by that nickname.
But he mentally suppressed that painful memory as he usual snap at those who call him nickname that if they aren't his family… but these twin sisters who remind him much of his younger sister Jovi. This cause Michael felt guilty for leaving her.
If only I was not too caught up with my revenge for Dad… I could still be there for her, Michael thought sadly.
Why is he being nice to them? Suiren thought confused after all this was very opposite to the image she had of Michael.
"Anyway, the fishing rods are out at the back of the house. You two need to pick them. Follow me." Suiren said to Michael and Mizuki.
Both Michael and Mizuki follows Suiren to the back of the house. There they can see there are a lot of fishing rods.
"Whoa… there are a lot of them." Mizuki said, looking at them.
"You can picked which one you like." Suiren said as she soon watch the two looking at the fishing rods carefully.
"Michael… there is something I want to ask you." Suiren said, getting the redhead's attention. This might be her only chance to get answer as she cannot hold herself back.
"What?"
"Why are you being nice to my sisters and let them play with your Espeon?" Suiren asked.
"Espeon like to play with younger kids." Michael response, thinking back to sometime of watching his partner play with orphan kids.
"Yeah. You really have cute little sisters." Mizuki said. She not surprise that Michael is sweet enough to let those kids play with his pokemon.
But this still does not suite with Suiren. Because Michael's cold personality doesn't make sense when it comes to being kind to younger kids like her sisters.
"You don't have anything to gain from it like joining the Pokemon School." Suiren pointed out with serious expression.
Michael let out a sighed before a solemn expression form on his face. "…Your sisters reminded me of my own younger sister." He said, making both girls look shocked.
"Wait… are you saying that you are an older sibling too?" Mizuki asked.
Even the blue hair girl looks surprised at the redhead who have hint of guilty expression.
"I had a younger sister… because of my stupid careless… I lost nearly everything and won't be to see her again." Michael said before picking up a blue fishing rod. "I will return this after tomorrow class is over." He said.
"W-Wait! How… how would I believe you?" Suiren asked. The idea of someone like Michael having younger sibling is unreal…
Michael already know her suspicious expression even without looking back at her. Just like those ignorant trainers who did not know of their Shadow Pokemons when he stole them.
"I know that look of suspicious of yours, you think I will backstabbed Lillie and everyone else." Michael answers, surprise Suiren. "I don't care of what other humans think of me anymore."
"Suiren… how can you say such thing to Michael?" Mizuki asked, confused and slight hurt. "Why do you think he is a bad person?"
"I don't know if I can trust him living with Lillie." Suiren explains. Not to mention that Michael is hiding something big from them.
Mizuki is only a little bit upset at the explanation. "But how can you doubt someone who been remind of their younger sibling and try to be a bit nice?" She asked angry.
This made Suiren wince with guilty expression at her words.
"I will return this after tomorrow class…" Mizuki said before takes the green one. She then gone after Michael.
Suiren stay where she was. The blue hair girl was thinking about Michael's response and is deeply in shock. Then Mizuki's own words made her start questioned her image of Michael. He did not laughed her dream, but being nice to her sisters.
Were we wrong this whole time? Suiren thought guilty.
(Tomorrow)
Everyone arrives at the docks as they see many Lapras and Wailmers around them before Professor Kukui greeted them.
"Alola!"
"Alola!" The students reply back to their teacher.
Michael and Espeon are seen standing with Lillie to the dock, the redhead boy cannot help keep glanced at the protective suit Lillie wearing with a glass tank over her head. The redhead was a bit disturb when seeing Lillie come into the limousine with that suit on. He still finds it hard to believe that this is Lillie's idea to being able to ride a Lapras while fishing…
"That's your secret weapon, Lillie? It's so cool!" Mamane said awe.
"But what will happens if you get pulled in the water?" Mizuki asked with hint of worry. Though she don't blamed Lillie for her problem. But she seen people on the shows being pulled in by massive water pokemons on television.
"Don't worry. I will handle it." Michael response affirmation. Not to mention he might also have to help Mizuki as well.
Or just having her taking off her suit and sat on your laps while fishing together…Espeon thought mischievous. But he didn't voice it to Michael since it will lead to bicker between fists and claws like usually.
But Michael didn't aware that Suiren was watching him quiet as she was still thinking about what happens yesterday. Her thought was soon interrupted when Professor Kukui calling out to the young girl.
"Okay, Suiren. You're now everyone's teacher!" He said, making Suiren slight flustered.
"O-Okay!" Suiren said before she starts moving robot like forward and looks nervous around others. "Um-m-"
"You can do it, Professor Suiren!" Mao encouraged her friend.
"Hang in there," Kiawe said.
"E-Everyone brought a fishing rod, right?" Suiren asked to them.
"Of course." Mizuki answers before showing her fishing rod with the hook shaped like Rowlet.
Mamane then showing his fishing rod which looks quite advance and told others that it resilient in catching something large as Wailord.
"Okay, please get on your Ride Pokemon." Suiren said. "Along with Lapras, Walimer will also be taking us to our fishing spot today."
Michael and Espeon are riding on a Lapras as the students of Pokemon School and their professor in their respective Ride Pokemons are heading toward a certain fishing spot. So far, they haven't seen any wild pokemons yet except for a Slowpoke fishing with its tail and caught a Sharpedo that made Espeon laughed. Michael wasn't sure what to expect from this trip, but he least should get to catch a good water pokemon from this event. Maybe a Gyarados since it both a water and flying types. Since it can move in water and on land which will be useful if they were out in the sea.
(No doubt that you will end up scaring Lillie with it…) Espeon mused at his partner's thought of catching Gyarados.
It wasn't long until they stop at a certain point in the sea and Suiren looks at everyone.
"There are sea pokemon that live in the shallow waters and those that live in deep waters. But this is a marvelous spot where both kinds of pokemon mingle." Suiren explains excited. "We can even catch Kyogre here!" Suiren added excited, making others look shock.
"Eh!?" Mizuki gasp in shock.
Michael and Espeon sweatdropped.
(She is out of her mind if the legendary pokemon shows up here…) Espeon remarked. When Kyogre comes, there are always storms on sight.
"Yes! The legendary pokemon!" Suiren said excited with stars in her eyes.
"No way, that's happening!" Mao retort to her friend's joke. "I've told you to stop with those jokes, Suiren!"
Suiren let out a playful expression before getting serious.
"Okay, everyone." Suiren said. "Ready your fishing rods!"
Michael looks at his rod in hands and the lure resembled that of Espeon before watching others. Kiawe's lure resemble Charizard. Mao's lure resembles her Bounsweets. Lillie's lure resembled Clefairy. Mamane's Togedemaru.
"Now give the lure a good cast into the water!" Suiren said before swing her rod forward as the lure went into the water.
Others do the same before they waited for any sight of movements from their rods.
"When the bobber moves, that's the time to quickly reel in your line!" Suiren added before manages to catch a pokemon. "If you catch something, give it Pokemon Food to build a close relationship with it." She said before giving the pokemon food.
Soon Suiren shows up with more pokemons catching on her lure and feed them foods to please them.
"Wow… the water pokemons love her." Mizuki said before taking a picture with her camera.
"Hey master!" Mao said.
"The skill of craftsman explores!" Professor Kukui said. "Now let's see how is everyone doing?"
Michael was waiting patiently for his lure to bite. He is relief that he was able to look on some tips for fishing in the mansion's library last night.
Espeon, on the hand, placing his tail in the water as he waiting for whatever to catch. But he have to be careful since he does not want to get bitten by a Sharpedo.
Mizuki was waiting patiently for her lure until she saw it moving and trying to pull it back…. To find she didn't get anything.
"You were too fast on the pull!" RotomDex said.
Mao saw her lure start moving and pulled back her string… to find nothing. She looks at her lure and sighed.
"You were too slow on pull!" RotomDex said.
"Stop the nitpicking!" Both girls exclaimed angry.
Kiawe and Mamane didn't catch anything on their rods. Kiawe claims that fire type does not get along with water. Mamane is still looking for a perfect spots to catch on his advance rod.
Michael and his Espeon are waiting surprisingly patiently for anything to come… before Espeon winced in pain after something bite his tail.
"ESPPPP…!" Espeon screamed loud as something hard bite his tail. He then pulling back his tail… to find a Sharpedo biting it.
"Espeon, send it back!" Michael snapped immediately.
Espeon send up using Iron Tail to reinforce his tail and send the shark like pokemon bounces across the water before sinking into the sea.
(My tail… Michael…) Espeon whimpered childish, looking at his tail which was still red from the bitten.
"Come here…" Michael said before taking out a small bottle of potion from his extra pocket. It's a good thing he come prepared with items thank to Lillie. The lavender cat pokemon leap onto his trainer as he spread some on Espeon's tail.
The lavender cat soon start feeling better as the red mark on his tail slow vanished and Espeon let out a sigh of relief. (Sorry about letting Sharpedo go…) he apologized.
"I… I've got something!" Michael and Espeon soon turns around to see Lillie find something bitten her lure.
Everyone turns around to watch as Lillie try to pull it back the string but it won't budge which show it must be a strong one.
Soon appearing out of the water was a beautiful creamy skin serpentine— Milotic.
"No way… A Milotic!?" Michael gasped at Lillie's catch. He never know it possible for Milotic to appear in the real since Feebas can only evolve when a trainer reassured of they're beautiful to give them the confident to evolve.
(This is an unexpected surprise…) Espeon said.
"Nice one, Lillie!" Professor Kukui said.
"This is a rare case!" Mamane stuttered awe.
But the poor girl seem to be having trouble of keeping the Tender Pokemon as the water pokemon moving around.
Soon both Michael and Suiren made their Lapras move faster to help Lillie.
"Lillie, hang on!" Suiren said with serious expression.
'Espeon, get ready…' Michael thought as his best friend nodded.
But Lillie could not hold on as the string to her rod snap. Soon Milotic reappeared in the surface once again, Espeon's eyes glowing bright as he send psychic power to stop Milotic's movements in the surface before lifting the pokemon straight into the air.
"Whoa…!" Mamane gasped in surprise.
(Let's see how you like this…!) Espeon response before focused more psychic power at Milotic. Milotic let out of cried when being forced left then right three times before being spins around and shows dizzy expression.
Michael grabbed the extra pokeball from his pocket and throws it at the dizzy Milotic in the midair and caught the pokeball as he watch it shake three times before signal a successful catch.
"That is the weirdest way of catching pokemon..." Kiawe comment sweatdropped.
The redhead looks at the pokeball in his hand. It might not be a Gyarados. But Milotic have the ability to calm down those have tempers.
Michael then looks back the pale blonde hair girl who seem surprise. "Sorry about taking your catch, Lillie." He said.
"I-It not a problem… beside you help me once again." Lillie said. "But I never thought you would want a Milotic…?"
"Milotic is quite rare in the wild and I am surprise that out of everyone here, you are the one who caught it. Thank you, Lillie." He said. This made Lillie's cheeks turn a bit red.
"It not a problem, Michael…" Lillie said flustered.
Soon enough, they hear whistle blow as their attention focus on Professor Kukui. "Okay! That's enough for now. Let's take a break!" he said.
(Oh good. This way we can talk with Milotic to see if she agreed to joins us.) Espeon said. Michael nodded in agreeing with Espeon.
Soon they arrives at a small land which was only sand and some water pokemons walking nearby.
Everyone got off their Ride Pokemons as they stretching from sitting on them.
Lillie take off her glass helmet as she wipe the sweats of her face with a white cloth.
"We're having 15 minutes of break!" Professor Kukui said.
Michael soon walking few feet away from others. He does not want Milotic end up endangering others, so it better that he and Espeon talks with her alone.
The redhead soon released the pokeball as bright light materialized out of it. Emerging from the pokeball was none other than Milotic. The water pokemon looks around before noticing the redhead boy and his Espeon.
Milotic let out a low growl at the two.
"Espeon…" Espeon said.
"Espeon, I need you to establish a mental link between me and Milotic for now." Michael said before his partner's eyes start to glow briefly.
'So you are the human who caught me with the unusual method…' A female voice said as Michael looks at the one who spoke in his head. Milotic was looking at him with impassive expression.
Well, who won't consider it since Milotic is quite rare in the wild… I thought you might have a previous trainer to help you evolved, Michael thought as he stare back at the water pokemon.
'Hmph. You're smart than that paled blonde human girl who panic. I did have someone like until they fall into their demise. I have keep my presence hidden from trainers who attempted to catch me until you came along.' Milotic answer as this made Espeon and Michael look surprise.
So do you want to join us? Michael thought.
'Consider that you are the first and the unusual method… I might have no choice, but to accept you as my new trainer. Not to mention that I sense you two seem a lot different from most trainers I've encounter in the past.' Milotic stated, curious.
(What make you think we different?) Espeon asked.
'Unlike most trainers I seen, you seem to lack of the ambition trait that most trainers possessed or those vile poachers... But I won't pry into it much. However, I wish to know your name?'
Michael… The redhead thought.
'Very well, Michael. From now on, I will by your side to the end.' Milotic pledged to the redhead.
Milotic then offered her fanlike tail to him as Michael have an idea on what she want and reach out his hand to touch the tail before shaking them in handshake gesture. This action seem to please the water pokemon a bit before the redhead return the water pokemon back to the pokeball.
"I see that Milotic accept you as her trainer, Michael." RotomDex said, coming toward his other user.
"We come to agreement. But Rotom, I need you to look up her moves." Michael said before showing Milotic's pokeball to the Rotom Pokedex.
"Then leave it to me." RotomDex said before scanned the pokeball for few seconds. "I successful finished the lookup… Milotic seems to know Disarming Voice, Aqua Tail, Safeguard, Mirror Coat, Ice Beam, Recover, and Hydro Pump." He said.
This made Michael looks a bit surprise. Disarming Voice is a Fairy Type move and he never think that Milotic know it.
"I am surprise that Milotic can know Fairy Move. But this is good..." Michael comment with a smirk. Though Milotic may not be a real Fairy Type, but he can studied the Fairy moves to help him understand a bit more about Fairy Type.
Espeon bark happily in agreeing with Michael.
"I guess this mean you can learn a bit more about Fairy Type before finding one to catch." RotomDex said. Michael nodded.
But unknown to them, Suiren was watching them. She is surprise that Milotic cooperating with Michael after catching her than lashed out.
"Everyone, it time to head back on your Ride Pokemons." Professor Kukui calling out to everyone. Soon everyone agreed as they went straight back on the water pokemons.
(Later)
Michael was on his way to Suiren's house to drop off fishing rod he borrow for class since the blue hair girl was nowhere around the school. There aren't any other water pokemons out in the sea that interested him since they cannot go onto the land. But he is satisfied with getting Milotic from the event and have ideas on what to train her in. A rare Pokemon like that in the wild... Michael was not the kind of trainer who catched every Pokemon in sight, but a wild Milotic was something so rare that even he could not resist.
"Michael!" A familiar voice called out to him.
The redhead looks around before seeing Suiren and Popplio under the shade of large palm tree in the beach. Michael soon walk toward the bluenette quietly before he hands her the fishing rod he borrow.
"…" Suiren looks a bit surprise at him handing back the fishing rod.
"Here." Michael said. "I will be going now." He soon turns around and about to leave.
"Wait! There is something I want to talk with you about." Suiren said before holding his arm to stop him from leaving. This made the redhead looks back at her.
"What? I am not going to bother you." Michael stated, looking at Suiren who seem to have a down expression. He did keep his words about returning it, if this girl is going to accuse him of something then he leave. He have no time of listening to others' accusations and trying to defend himself.
"I… I wanted to say, I'm sorry… for thinking that you… might be a bad person when you came to Melemele Island… and trying to find proofs, but you did none." she revealed to him. Michael looked at Suiren, said girl looking worried as he started at her in thought.
"There is no need for it." Michael said, making Suiren look surprise. "After all, I only attending school since I owe a debt to Lillie for saving my life and haven't paid it back yet. I do not have any intention of befriends with anyone." He said. Though he does not official consider Mizuki a friend… but she once again caught his attention by showing something this world made his interest grow. He will continue help her out with training even if she did not knows.
Though that was something that friends do in helping each other...
"Why?" Suiren asked.
"That is not your business." Michael response cold.
"Then could we be friends?" Suiren asked. This made Michael raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you hear me before? I have no intention on-"
"Then give me a least chance to shows you that not all people are bad… and I want to know who you really are!" Suiren injected, making Michael blinks.
Michael hears some sobbing sound and look down to see Popplio looking at him with watery eyes. Even without Espeon out, he can tells the water type want him to give Suiren a chance… Michael let out a sighed.
He may be cold to humans... but Pokemon were a different matter and he found difficult to refuse them when they get like Popplio.
"Alright… I guess that I might give it a try." Michael said before reluctantly offer his hand.
Suiren takes his hand with hers as the two shaking their hands. Popplio looks happy that the two are friends and clapped.
"Thank you, Michael…" Suiren said smiling. She will make sure not to mess up this chance.
"Also another thing. You should try to learn how to keep your composition in check, you can't always let your family teasing you too much." Michael added.
This made Suiren looks embarrassed as she realized Michael was talking about yesterday with her family.
"I'm sorry about that…" Suiren apologized awkwardly.
"I didn't say I disliked it," Michael said as Suiren looked at him with surprise, "In fact it feels nice to see such a happy family like yours..." He said with a small smile since he was also remembering his own family.
"T-thanks," Suiren said with a slight blush at Michael's praise.
"Also you can tell your sisters that they can play with Espeon whenever they want," He said with a smile still in his face... tough he did say that without asking Espeon his opinion.
But seeing such little sisters being so happy with a Pokemon made him say such things... it seemed Michael really have soft spots for Suiren's sisters.
AN: That is the end of the chapter. Yes, Ash still does exist in this anime world and he won the Kalos League here...! I REALLY HATED HOW XYZ SERIES ENDED AND THAT ASH NEVER GET TO WIN! SCREW THOSE WRITERS IN OFFICES AFTER TWENTY YEARS! That is why Ash did not have a reason of coming to Alola here.
I shows Michael the fight, it giving him some new goals in this world such as facing Ash and learn about Mega Evolutions which I believe is the opposite of Shadow Pokemon. Not to mention he behave different around Suiren's family especially made her mom made that commentXD I bet you were surprised at what I did and Michael catch that Milotic that hits Ash in his family jewelXD At least he have a pokemon to help if he have problem in the sea.
Anyway, be sure to review or message me for any questions, comments, or concern. And don't be afraid to look at my other stories.
