HotXbun: I am so sorry that it has been nearly two weeks since I last updated. I was preparing for my three year extravaganza that starts tomorrow.
We will get to see Ai in Alola in this chapter.
Moonlight Butterfree: I am so sorry! I had no idea that's how those were spelled! Thank you so much!
harp (guest): As you can see, I took your advice. Thank you so much for that!
St Elmo's Fire: Thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely take all of this into consideration.
Istwill56: Thank you very much for defending my story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or Avatar The Last Airbender. But I do own Ai.
Chapter 2 Welcome to Alola
Ai's POV
Three Months Later
"Meow!"
Aaaaaand that made me fall off my bed.
I shot up before frantically looking around to see who made that noise.
It was my mom's Meowth.
"Meowth", I started. "You couldn't wake me up more peacefully?"
Meowth just shrugged before leaving the room.
I laughed before getting up and looking around my room.
My brand new room. I can't wait to see what adventures Alola will bring. [My Journey Through Alola Extra: Neither can I!]
With that I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.
I had black, shoulder length hair, pale skin and brown eyes.
After doing everything I needed to do in the bathroom, I went back to my bedroom and got dressed.
After that I went to my new living room.
My mom walked up to me.
"Good morning Ai", she greeted.
"Good morning", I greeted.
"You were out like a light, weren't you", my mom asked. "You ought to be full of energy by now!"
I nodded.
"So Ai", My mom started. "Are you pumped to meet some Alolan Pokémon?"
"Definitely", I replied. "I heard some Pokémon are different in Alola than they are in other regions."
"I want to hurry up and meet some too", my mom revealed. "And now...we're living in the Alola region. The beautiful islands everyone wants to visit! I'm sure the Pokémon living in a place like this must be friendly, right?"
"Right", I said.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"Was that the doorbell", my mom asked.
"Well let's see", I started. "It was a bell, and it was by the door." [My Journey Through Alola Extra: (insert drum sound.)]
"Huh huh", my mom said. "Very funny young lady. It's probably Professor Kukui. Why don't you let him in Ai?"
"I'm on it", I replied before I walked to the door.
I opened it...and true as day Professor Kukui was there.
"Hey there Ai", he greeted. "May I come in?"
"Of course", I replied before I sidestepped to let Professor Kukui in.
With that he took of his shoes and walked into the living room. [My Journey Through Alola Extra: In Hawaii it is custom to take your shoes off in doors. HotXbun decided to incorporate that into the story.]
"Let me formerly introduce myself", he said. "The name's Kukui. Good to meet you cousin!"
"Good to meet you too", I stated.
"You gotta be tired after that long trip all the way out here to Alola", Professor Kukui stated. "You feelin' any jet lag? We sure are a long way from Kanto out here in Alola. It's still daytime out here, yeah!"
With that my mom walked up to us.
"It's nice to meet you Professor Kukui", she stated. "I'm Ai's mother Aika."
"Ai and Aika", Professor Kukui said out loud. "I like it!"
This made my mom and I laugh.
"And by the way", Professor Kukui started. "You can just call me Kukui. No need to be so formal."
"Got it", my mom stated.
"Anyway", Professor Kukui said changing the subject. "Welcome to Alola!"
"Thank you Kukui", my mom said. "You know, I still remember seeing you battle the Indigo Gym Leaders back in Kanto all those years ago. I've been in love with Alolan Pokémon ever since, so I finally decided to come here myself!"
"Ha", Kukui said before he started laughing. "I was supposed to be visiting there to research Kanto Pokémon moves and all that. I thought I knew a thing or two about battling, but those gym leaders proved me wrong!"
With that Kukui looked at me.
"Hey now Ai", he started. "Let's get a move on to the next town over cousin! It's time for you to meet the Island Kahuna and get yourself a Pokémon!"
"A Pokémon", I asked in shock.
With that Kukui nodded.
"Yeah", he replied. "The kahuna who lives in Iki Town is always happy to give any kid who wants to have an adventure their first Pokémon yeah. But don't try taking on the kahuna yourself! The kahunas are crazy strong Pokémon Trainers. They're unbeatable for folks like me and you!"
With that I scoffed.
"We'll see about that", I stated.
"Oh", Kukui said. "A confident one I see? I like it!"
With that I laughed before looking at my mother.
"They'll just simply give my girl a Pokémon", she asked in shock. "Then those kahunas really are worth meeting!"
With that my mom turned to face me.
"Hurry up and get ready Ai", she commanded.
"But I haven't even had breakfast yet", I pointed out. "Feed me woman!"
With that my mother crossed her arms and gave me a pointed look.
"Um", I said nervously. "I mean...I'll go make myself some breakfast."
"That's better", my mom stated before looking at Kukui. "Would you like to stay for breakfast Kukui?"
"I never say no to food", Kukui revealed.
"Neither do I!"
One Hour Later
After breakfast I went to my bedroom and grabbed my bag and hat.
I then walked back into the living room.
"You look ready for anything now", my mom stated. "Have a good time out there! I'll be sure to have everything cleaned up and put away by the time you come back with your new Pokémon!"
"You sure you're going to be okay with packing all these things up on your own", I asked.
"Ai", my mom started. "You're eighteen years old! Go out and live life!" [My Journey Through Alola Extra: I thought it was best to age up the character in this story.]
"Got it", I said before Kukui walked up to me.
"Woo", he said. "That's a stylin' hat cousin!"
"Really", I asked. "You're not going to berate me for wearing a beanie in a sunny place? She did."
With that my mom just playfully stuck her tongue out at me before she went to go do the dishes.
"Your mom is sure looking forward to you getting your first Pokémon yeah", Kukui pointed out. "So let's get going to Iki Town! Time for you to get a real nice Pokémon from the island kahuna! Oh yeah!"
"Yeah", I said excitedly.
"Alright", Kukui said. "I'll be waiting for you outside. It was nice to meet you Aika!"
"Just take care of my little girl Kukui", my mom commanded.
"Mom", I whined. "You just pointed out that I'm eighteen!"
"I don't care how old you are", my mom stated before giving me a hug. "You'll always be my little girl."
"Fine", I said before kissing my mom's head. "Love you."
"Love you too."
With that I put on my shoes and walked out the door.
Alola here I come!
HotXbun: And that's that.
Challenge: Tell me what Pokémon Ai should get.
My Answer: I'll let you guys decide that. I'll even put up a poll on my profile!
