Hello everyone. I'm back. I know, you probably wish I was gone longer because I suck at this.
Anyway, the votes are in concerning Pikachu… and the winning choice is…
*Cue drum roll*
Pikachu will evolve to Alolan Raichu!
Granted it would be off screen when it happens, but it still does.
Anyway, hopefully I can introduce the rest of the Alola characters this time, and then we can do a time skip.
Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Eight: Meeting new friends
"That was good!" Ash exclaimed as he and the others were finishing eating at a restaurant they managed to find.
After they had their fun on the beach, they returned to their hotel in order to change, take their showers, and all of that. Once they finished with that, Alain suggested that they go to the Professor of the Alola Region. The reason for this is that if anyone were to know about this Ultra Beast problem, it might as well be the Professor of the region.
But first, they figured it would be best to get something to eat by Ash's suggestion, as it had been a while since they last ate.
"I agree, that was very delicious." Clemont agreed with the black haired pokemon trainer as the blonde inventor also finished up eating.
"Yeah, good thing this isn't too expensive either." Aria spoke. The red haired woman also finished up eating her lunch.
"So where are we supposed to go again?" Korrina asked again as the blonde gym leader of Shalour City's gym ate the last remains of her food.
"We're heading to where the Professor of the Alola Region is," Alain reminded the blonde female, "If we are to have any chance of learning about the Ultra Beasts, the Professor here may be a good start."
"That's a good idea." Serena agreed with the mega evolution trainer as she finished up eating as well.
"Do you think there will be a lot of pokemon there?" Bonnie asked in curiosity. If they were going to where Professor of this region, there was a good chance their might be a lot of pokemon around as well. Mairin was also wondering the same thing.
"I hope so, "Ash spoke as excitement was evident in his voice, "I wonder if there are more pokemon we haven't seen before there!" The black haired male had stars in his eyes as he thought of all the pokemon that they may not have seen yet.
Everyone else simply sweat drop at seeing Ash getting all excited. However Serena, Miette, and Aria simply giggled as they found it both cute and funny.
'LATER'
"So… this is the place?" Mairin questioned as the group arrived at the front gate of a large area with a rather big building.
After the group finished eating, they attempted to get some directions from the residents of the city in hopes to know where the Professor of the Alola Region was. Those directions led them to a large building that had a lot of space around it. They also noticed some people around their age all over the area as well.
"It should be," Clemont began to speak as he looked around, "This is where we were told the Professor should be at during this time." The blonde inventor told them as they went though the gate.
"What's this place supposed to be anyway?" Miette wondered as she noticed some people have pokemon she never seen before.
"If I recall our directions, this place is called the Pokemon School." The blonde gym leader of Lumiose City answered the blue haired woman.
"A school?" Alain questioned the blonde inventor.
"Correct." Clemont simply replied to the black haired male.
"It looks rather interesting," Serena admitted, "What do you think Ash?" The blonde pokemon performer turned to ask her lover.
…Only to see him not where he was. This also got everyone else's attention.
"Where'd he go?" Area questioned as she and the others looked around to find the black haired trainer.
"Guys!" They all turned to see Ash a bit away from them as the excited looking trainer and Pikachu called out to them, "We're gonna go explore this place a bit! We'll meet you up later! Come on Pikachu!" Ash told his equally excited pokemon partner as the both of them ran away from the others to see if there was any new pokemon around.
"Ash wait up!" Serena, Miette, and Aria all shouted as the three women ran after the one that captured their hearts.
The others simply looked on as the three women and Ash went on to look around the area.
"…Should we go after them?" Alain questioned, wondering if simply letting them run around was a good idea.
"Don't worry; I'm sure they'll be fine." Korrina told the black haired mega evolution trainer.
"Come on, "Clemont began to speak, getting their attention once again, "Let's go see if we can find the Professor."
The rest simply nodded as they all headed to the main School building.
Currently with Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Miette, and Aria, they were all looking around to see if there was anything that got them interesting. Ash and Pikachu were all excited as they keep spotting new pokemon they have never seen before.
"Slow down Ash." Serena called out to the black haired trainer, which got his attention as he turned to see his three lovers behind him.
"Sorry, I can't help it," Ash spoke as he simply grinned, "There are all these pokemon we never seen before. I can't help but get excited." The black haired trainer told the three females.
"We know, but still you don't need to go run around as if they would disappear at any moment." Miette pointed out.
"You can't really blame him though." Serena also pointed out to the blue haired and red haired females.
Ash simply grinned, but then he spotted a few new pokemon he hasn't seen before in one spot. The three females then noticed their boyfriend then began to head to the group of pokemon with an excited face. They simply sweat drop as he was all excited like a little child in a candy store.
However, the four of them and Pikachu didn't notice that Ash was walking on a path where three people riding three Tauros's were heading right to him. They didn't seem to notice the black haired trainer as they kept on moving in his direction.
While none of them noticed, a nearby blonde haired and pale skin colored woman noticed the coming Tauros's that were about to ran over Ash.
"Watch out!" She called out in worry.
Ash stopped moving as he and the three other females hear someone calling out, only for Ash to turn and see the three Tauros about to run him over. Unfortunately he didn't have time to move or reaction as the next thing he knew he was trampled over by the three wild bull pokemon .
"Ash!" Serena, Miette, and Aria shouted in worry as the three women ran over to the now trampled Ash to make sure that he was alright. Pikachu ran over as well as he was concern for his trainer.
The three humans on the three Tauros realized that just ran over someone and halted their movements in order to get off the pokemon.
"Ash! Are you okay?" Serena asked in a worried tone as she and the other two women hoped he was alright.
"Ugh… did anyone get the number of that bus that hit me?" Ash questioned as he was slowly getting back up. This got them to let out a sign of relief, glad that Ash wasn't hurt too badly.
"Uh… are you okay?" A female voice asked in concern, which got the three women to look up to see the blonde female that called out earlier.
Ash managed to lift his head up to see the owner of the voice, and the moment he saw the pale blonde woman a massive blush took hold of his face. While the new blonde woman didn't seemed to noticed, the other three did.
'You cannot be serious.' Serena and Aria thought to themselves as they knew that look. That was the look that showed that SOMEHOW Ash just fell in love. Again. Miette was the only one who seemed to be amused by it however.
Ash then realized that she asked about him, as he managed to get the sudden thoughts out of his head.
"Y-yeah, I'm fine, "Ash managed to get back on his feet, "I've been ran over by my Tauros many times before, so it's no problem." He answered as he simply grinned, not caring about there were Tauros foot prints all over him right now.
Now that Ash wasn't on the ground and the new blonde female got a good look at him, her cheeks suddenly flared up as a small blush took hold of her face. Luckily Ash didn't seem too noticed. However the other three females did.
The blonde was about to say something until she and the others noticed the Tauros approaching them. With a sudden yelp she moved behind and hid behind Ash. This of course got him and the other three women confused.
"Are you okay?" Ash asked her in confusion as she suddenly seemed afraid.
Pikachu also let out a Pika in confusion. This allowed the pale blonde woman to notice the electric mouse pokemon right next to her feet. She simply let out another small yelp as she back away again, which only confused the others.
"Is something wrong?" Serena asked the other blonde, who realized what she was doing and began to act like nothing's wrong.
"What? N-No of course not! Why would you think that?" She responded back trying to act like nothing wrong. However the other didn't buy it. However for some reason Ash couldn't help but find the way she was acting cute for some reason.
Before they could comment on it further, another feminine voice spoke up, getting their attention.
"Sorry about that, we didn't noticed you were there," They turned to see a tan green haired woman, a familiar blue haired woman, to Ash at least, and a small and rather chubby orange haired male, "Are you alright?" The green haired woman asked again, hoping that they didn't hurt him too bad.
Ash was about to reply until he actually got a look at the green haired woman. Just like earlier today and with the blonde, a blush formed on his face as he felt his heart speeding up a little. Luckily however he managed to shake the feeling away as he looked at the green haired woman again.
"Yeah I'm fine. I've handled worse." Ash replied with a grin once again.
Serena, Miette, and Aria noticed the blush Ash had when he looked at the green haired woman, and to be perfectly honest they were surprised by how Ash, who had never seen the blonde or green haired women before in his life, could just instantly feel something for them. Serena simply sighed, knowing that she couldn't really control who Ash could and could not fall for, that's just who he is. She could only hope that these girls could be trusted at least. However she knew she had a while before she needed to worry about a confrontation on that. At least she hoped it would be a while.
She, Miette, and Aria also didn't notice the light blush the green haired woman had as she look at Ash before she managed to shake it away. Luckily no one noticed.
Before anyone else could say anything…
"Wait a minute," The blue haired female started to speak up, which got everyone's attention as she remembered Ash, "You're the guy from earlier!" This seemed to get Ash to also recognize the blue haired woman.
"Yeah! I thought I recognized you. Lana was it?" Ash asked, wanting to make sure he remembered right. It seems he got it correct as she nodded, happy that he recognized her from earlier.
Everyone else was confused.
"Uh, you know who he is Lana?" The orange haired male asked his friend, as both the green haired and blonde were also confused by how their friend knew the black haired male.
"Yeah, I met him earlier today while I was fishing." She explained to the others, who seemed too understood.
"So that's who you were talking about earlier?" Miette leaned in and whispered to Ash's ear. Ash simply nodded to the blue haired pokemon performer.
"I guess a proper introduction is necessary," The green haired woman started to speak, getting everyone's attention once again as she spoke again, "I'm Mallow. It's nice to meet you."
"I'm Sophocles." The orange chubby male introduced himself.
"You already know my name already." Lana told them with a simple smile.
"I'm Lillie; it's nice to meet you." The blonde also told her name.
"My name's Serena." The pokemon performer told the Alola natives.
"I'm Miette." The blue haired pokemon performer answered.
"The name's Aria." The red haired Kalos Queen introduced herself.
"And I'm Ash, and this is my partner Pikachu." Ash told them, as Pikachu also let out a pika in greetings.
"It's nice to meet you all. Are you guys new students here?" Mallow asked Ash, Serena, Miette, and Aria.
"Oh on, we and a couple of our friends were actually here to meet up with the Professor." Ash answered to the green haired woman.
"Really?" Mallow questioned, before she simply smiled, "I know where he is. I can take you all to him if you want." She offered.
"That would be grateful." Aria responded with a smile. She and the others didn't see a problem with that.
Once that was settled, Mallow motioned them to follow her as they made their way to the Pokemon School building.
All right, there's that chapter.
Even though not all of the Alolan characters were introduced here, I'm just going top go ahead and do a time skip next chapter anway. I'm sure all of you are like "Just move with the story already!", so I shall, have no fear.
Thanks to those who voted in the poll by the way.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
