Chapter 35 Dustill Date
Now Dawn, Gloria, and Trenor are at Dustill Town, they rush into the Pokemon Center as Gloria asks, "Trenor, where is the person who can help us out?"
"She should be here somewhere..." Trenor says as he looks around. Dawn says, "Shouldn't we ask Nurse Joy to help us out instead? I think that will be quicker."
"If we tell Nurse Joy, then she is going to call the rescue team, which takes even more time." Trenor replies. "I don't think this is a good idea."
"Damn it...Ash and Lillie are in trouble and no one can save them?" Gloria mutters with a little anger.
"Are you saying that my brother is in trouble?" They turn around and see a girl walking toward them. The girl is wearing an adventure hat and a brown uniform with the number 130 on it. Gloria recognizes the girl and says, "Wait, you are Nora, the Gym Leader of Dustill Town!"
Nora says, "I have been waiting for your arrival, the challenger endorsed by Champion Leon, Gloria. You are also a strong trainer."
"You're finally here, Nora." Trenor says. "Long story short, our brother and his friend fell into a giant sand trap, and now they can't get back up."
"Are you serious? Take me to them right now!" Nora says with a shocked expression.
While they are rushing Dawn asks Trenor, "Hold on, are you telling me that Nora is also Ash's sister?"
"Yeah, she is also my sister as well." Trenor says. "But we can save the introductions later."
As they arrive, they see that Alice, Mark, and Serena still waiting for them. Nora asks, "So that's the hole where Brother and his friend fell into?"
"Yeah, do you know how to save them?" Dawn asks.
Alice asks, "Hold on, isn't she the Gym Leader of Dustill? The one we're going to face once we get to the gym?"
Serena asks, "And why is she calling Ash brother? Are you telling me that..."
"Nora is our second eldest sister of our family." Mark says. "And she is good at these sort of adventure stuff. I'm sure she has a way to help brother out of the hole."
"The hole sure looks deep..." She then walks around the hole. "And it is a great vertical...no wonder my brother and his friend can't climb it back with themselves."
"What are you going to do then?" Trenor asks, only to be slammed by the sword on the face. The sword has a scabbard on, so Trenor didn't get hurt from the sharpness. Nora says, "Stop interrupting me with my calculations."
"She is a little violent...not to self...not to get on her bad side..." Gloria says, sweating at a sword in Nora's hands.
Mark says, "She would only do that if you try to interrupt her thinking of a complex solution. After all, she is very adventurous and also cares for safety."
"And I think this will work." Nora says as she stomps on a part of the ground which is a few meters away from the hole.
"What will work?" Alice asks.
Just then, Nora takes off the scabbard and then pushes it into the ground. Serena asks, "Is that supposed to mean anything?"
"Sandaconda, I need your assistance. Use my sword as the sign, Dig and create a tunnel." Nora takes out a Poke Ball and the brown snake Pokemon appears from it.
Alice says, "Wow...this Sandaconda looks awesome."
"So I guess it is a Ground type Pokemon that comes from Galar..." Dawn says.
When Sandaconda digs into the ground, it causes the floor to rumble again, Ash and Lillie hear the rumble as Lillie is hugging Ash. "Not again..."
"Don't worry, Lillie. I am here." Ash says. And they quickly jump out of the way as a hole is created just on top of where they were sitting. A Sandaconda also appears out of the hole and slitters at them.
"What is that?" Ash asks. Rotom says, "It is a Sandaconda. A Ground-type Pokemon that is capable of spraying sands from its nose."
"Follow me." Ash and Lillie hear the words of the Pokemon as the snake goes away. Lillie says, "Did he just talk?"
"No, I have given you the power of Aura, so you can talk to Pokemon as well." Ash says. "I think he is here to get us out of the hole, so we should follow him."
Lillie nods as they follow the snake, and then they are out of the tunnel. The others rush towards them with a relieved smile, and Dawn says, "Ash, Lillie! I am glad you are safe."
"Yeah. What an experience..." Lillie says. "Not that I want to try it again."
Ash notices the Sandaconda returning to Nora, he smiles and says, "Nora. Good to see you again."
"Same here brother." Nora says as she puts the sword back into the scabbard. Ash isn't going to ask where she got that sword from, and he says, "I assume that the Sandaconda is yours? Thank you for saving us."
Nora says, "It is no big deal, Brother. I hear that you three have beaten Kabu. Which means that you are here to face me, right?"
"Yes." Ash says. "We are here to face you."
Nora smiles a little and says, "Of course you are. And I don't think I need to make an introduction, right?"
Serena says, "We learned your name from Trenor. Is it true that you're also Ash's sister?"
Nora says, "Well, it will be better if you read my League Card." Then she gives them the card as everyone reads it. Alice says, "So like Namie, you're also being adopted by the queen?"
Trenor says, "I was the one that found Nora in the Alola Region, her birth parents were gone because they fell into a deadly trap when they are exploring the ruins in Unova."
Nora says, "If you count my age compared to other siblings, I am the second oldest of the females. But if you're counting the time I stayed with my new family, I am the youngest. Trenor found me when he was traveling there and he brought me to Mother, who was at the Alola School since she was attending some sort of family visit."
"Hold on, you mean you were adopted back at that time?" Ash asks, and Lillie also gasps as she remembers the family visit.
"Yes, and I was brought here, by challenging the Leagues, I managed to get a spot as the Gym Leader. As for the reason I become the sixth one is because I lost to my sister."
"Namie? But isn't she..." Gloria asks.
"No, my Bug Type Gym Leader sister." Nora says. "Shelia."
"Oh." Ash says as he looks at the hole. "Maybe we should try to fill this hole so that nobody will fall into it."
"I agree, just leaving it out in the open is too dangerous." Mark says as they try to work on filling the hole back.
Once they go to the Pokemon Center, Nora says, "You guys must have been in the Wild Area for so long, right? I want to battle you to your full strength. How about we challenge tomorrow?"
"Sure." Ash says as he gives her a sisterly hug before leaving. "So who is going to be with me this time?"
Gloria says, "Even though I am the only one left, considering how Lillie fell with you in the hole, I guess she should be with you this time."
"That is so considerate of you." Ash says as he turns to Lillie. "Should we go?"
"Sure." Then they leave as they go sightseeing. By seeing the town, they can see the house is made of sand. "I wonder how the sand can create these strong houses?"
"Well, maybe there is less rain?" Ash says. Then they see some children playing mud throwing with the Diggersby and Claydol. Lillie says, "But people in this town sure doesn't care about being dirty..."
"Yeah...Maybe having fun with Pokemon is much more important." Ash says.
Then they also see a stadium that is for Pokemon racing, they can see that a Mudsdale, Rhyhorn, and a Mamoswine are running as fast as they also cheer on. After that, they also see some stands with Golurk statues.
"Look Ash, there is a fountain." Lillie points at the spot as they go check it out. Then they see some Wooper, Barboach, Gastrodon, and Palpitoad there swimming around. Ash says, "It must be sacred to the people in this town as it is located in the desert area of the Galar Region."
"Yeah." Lillie says as they continue to walk, they find a restaurant to rest. But Lillie is surprised as she sees a mural that has a snake on it. Ash asks, "Lillie, are you okay?"
"Just get shocked by the mural, nothing else." Lillie says as Ash looks at the mural and says, "It seems to be like it is some sort of snake...but don't worry, it is just a replica. I don't think there will be anything possessing the mural."
"I just hope you're right..." Lillie mutters as they take a seat and have lunch together.
Ash decides to tell him about the past journeys, and Lillie finds it amusing how Iris' Excadrill doesn't listen to her and how Cilan only uses a Super Rod to capture a Stunfisk, and then about his first Gym battle against the Onix, how Pikachu accidentally win because of the water.
"So the first time you met Diglett, Pokemon are refusing to battle them?" Lillie asks. "It is so weird but also funny."
"Yeah, in the end, it wants to stop building a damp so that Pokemon have places to stay." Ash says.
After that, they also try out the sand bath and they laugh as a Hippopotas is yawning and the bubble captures the Trapinch. After some relaxing, they decide to go join up with the others as they end their date.
"So what have you guys been up to?" Ash asks.
"Just hanging around with others to see this desert-filled place. The only good thing is that it is not that hot compared to the other deserts." Alice says. "So I assume that you two are done exploring the town?"
"Yeah, and it is quite a lot of fun." Ash says. "But now we should rest so that we can do well in the upcoming Gym battle." The others nod as they go to their rooms to rest.
Nora is Ash's youngest sister. And the Gym Leaders that are Ash's siblings are the same type as my other stories, except Fairy type, since Opal is too old to be her sister, so I change into Normal Type. And if you're wondering when Gloria is going to have her date with Ash, don't worry, wait until Hammerlocke.
