The Harem
Lillie: Patience
Lana POV
The storm had gotten worse, I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to hold a trial today. But I still needed to check the trial area. During storms some Pokémon get really riled up and tend to cause a lot of destruction to the trial site.
When I got there began my check. I started with the wildlife around the trial site and by the poke-center. Fomantis were lazing about and absorbing what light they could from the lightning. I was very quiet not to approach them as I didn't want to fight them. Then I moved to the trial site. The storm seemed to be focused there. Realizing that there may be a wild Pokémon here that didn't belong I called out my Araquanid. He understood as soon as the rain hit his bubble. "Keep an eye out for raging Pokémon, try to calm them down if you can." She nodded and we moved in separate directions. I switched to the Grass type z-move Mallow lent me when I first became the new trial captain, she said until I could calm them with just a stare. Araquanid came over to me and nodded saying that the Brooklet was cleared. "Alright then stay close, this is only the main section and the first section before trial goers are forced to stop capturing Pokémon.
We walked to the second area and overlooked the area. It was mostly clear with some areas where the young Wishiwashi were playing in the rain. Dewpider were hanging on the waters edge making small areas where they could rest. However there were also those that were looking toward a very large Arachnid. This was one of the totem Pokémon. The other was a Wishiwashi that had greater control over the others here in the Brooklet. When the Totem saw me, it nodded to me and began to help the younger Pokémon make dens to stay in. It was also using it's larger bubble to gather small Pokémon who were injured and moving them to a safe place to help them heal. "Alright looks like he has this place locked down, although I want you to stay here and help them out." I say to my Araquanid who nodded. I traveled down to the final area and began to search for any reason that maybe Wishiwashi may be angered.
When I arrived Wishiwashi was helping other fish Pokémon into dens but it was also looking over a giant shadow in the water. "Washy." One said to me as I looked down and see the little one looking toward the giant shadow. "Do you need some help?" He nods and I take off my clothes revealing my blue one piece swimming suit. I threw on the diving gear I had brought with me and dived in.
As I swam closer to the Pokémon I could barely make out a blue body with red lines running all over it's back. It was huge, about the size of an average sized island. "Please young human help us, I am injured and am in need of some assistance." It was then that I realized that this giant blue whale Pokémon was the legendary Pokémon Kyogre. Which meant that the we she was referring to was Manaphy. "I can try to help you but I can't do much on my own." I could almost feel a smile appear on her lips. "That is fine I only have a couple of injuries." I hear in my mind. The voice was oddly calming but also held power. "The chosen one is close, I can hear him." I hear her voice say in my head. "Papa, close" A little blue Pokémon says as he swims out from behind the whale and looks directly at me. "Kyogre is this one of the guardians of his soul." He asks the blue whale who looks at me and just smiles. "If she wants to young Manaphy, only if she wants to." She says as I look over her face.
"You have been poisoned by something, my only question is what would be bold enough to poison you." I say as I call out my Wishiwashi and tell him to find me some herbs that grow on the bottom of the brooklet that are good for healing poison. When she returns I swim to my bag and grab a Mortar and Pestle. Manaphy swims out of the Brooklet and watches me work. I start by crushing up some Pecha berries I had in my bag. "Wait are you Siren." I hear Manaphy ask me. "Manaphy it's Lana, Siren was the previous Trial Captain. She used to run the Brooklet before I did, that was a couple of years ago however." I smile as I remember how my mom was. She was powerful and feared among the people of Akala. Before I begin to speak again I grab some of the herbs that Wishiwashi had gathered for me. "Alright Manaphy listen I am going to need you to be careful when I go back down. Sharpedo are known to live in this part of the Brooklet and they tend to attack me." He nods and I grab my diving gear again. I turn the paste into a water safe pill and dive back into the water.
"Ah young Lana, you are just like your mother." Kyogre says as I put the pill into her mouth. "Easy now Kyogre this may take a little bit to take effect but when it does it should be a huge blast of relief." I say as I begin to rub her skin. The warm blubber is smooth against my hand. "I sense a great pain from you child of the sea. Is it because of something at home." Kyogre says as I nod. "My dad wants me to stop being the trial captain." Kyogre just seems to scuff at this and says. "I thought you looked familiar, Siren's is your mother isn't she." She says as I nod. "Your father tried to pull this same stunt with your mother when she became Trial Captain, I once told Ash about him in one of his recent dreams, he also said that he has always felt a sorta draw to the ocean." Kyogre says and I kinda smile. This was basically the god of the ocean and she was talking to me like I was her teen friend. Then once she was healed I smiled at her and said "Alright looks like I should get going, looks like you are fine, so be careful." She nodded and I swam back to the surface. I then quickly dried off and threw my clothes back on. "Remember this Lana, keeper of the Brooklet, show him your soul and allow him to show his. You are one of seven." Manaphy says before stepping back into the water and diving back down.
A couple days later
I blushed when I thought about what the young Manaphy said to me a couple days ago as I walked back to my house. This was the third day that a major storm had rocked the Brooklet and all of Alola. It had caused some major damage to the areas of trial sites and mine was mostly just a couple trees fell. However the grass types would heal the trees using an absorb growth combo. (Remember the episode where Tangrowth and the other forest Pokémon would go around and steal energy from other Pokémon than use growth on the tree. Same idea.) Today was day four and when I visited that night the rain had stopped and as there was no longer a danger to the Pokémon of the trial area and I made sure. I left early and went home. When I got there, after traveling through Diglett cave, I saw that my sisters were laying on their beds and were asleep. When I looked at my clock I saw that it was about nine at night so that meant that they were just getting to sleep. But that also meant that I was supposed to be here nearly an hour ago. "Your late Lana." I hear a deep male voice say behind me. "I have a responsibility to the Pokémon of the Brooklet. Because of the rain we have had the last few days the trial Pokémon were getting out of hand that is why it has been raining. If it wasn't one it was the other I also had to train a new Totem Pokémon, and because of that I will be there more often than not." I say as I pull out a pokeball and let out my Dewpider. "Dew." It said in a questioning tone. "Lana, if you are going to keep coming home late than you may have to pass the responsibilities on." My father says to me as I get angry and send my Dewpider off to my sisters room to watch over them.
"Oh so what is it, that you hate that I am out most of the time or that I actually have a life outside of the house, that I am not home to watch over my sisters when you go out drinking at night. Yeah don't think I don't know about that." Since my mom left him my dad had become a drunk, and he was supposed to become part of the elite four. "Don't take that tone with me young lady." My father yelled at me and went to rush me. A purple barrier appeared in front of me. "She is one of my trial captains, sir, if you harm her, she becomes unable to perform her duties this island may fall into disarray." A female voice says as I smile. Tapu Lele had saved me.
I was grateful to Tapu for saving me. But then again this had become a common occurrence. My dad was always drunk. He would go out with the sailors that came into port and get completely wasted. Living by the sea has its flaws and its strength. "Well considering I have to walk from the Brooklet to here, and then have to weave around people takes about an hour and the fact that the Brooklet was starting to flood, how am I to leave the people that live there to have their homes flooded and their lives ruined." I say as Dewpider comes back and shakes my pant leg. "Dew." he says as I nod and walk back to my sisters room.
When I got there I saw that the twins had woken up and were trying to listen through the door. "Are you and daddy fighting again." They ask me as I sit them back on their bed. "No, no dad is just a little sick and I was just telling him to go to bed." I say through gritted teeth. "Hey want to come with me to the Brooklet." I say to them. I know this was a risky move however I needed to get them out of the house for the night. My dad was too far gone, and I didn't need the stress of wondering if they were safe or if dad had hurt them. They pack a small bag of stuff to do and their rain gear. They had come with me before and they had learned.
Dewpider walks in and nods towards the Brooklet. "Alright, alright, I know I have a late night trial goer but I had to stop by the house and make sure these little ones were okay. Just get a couple of spare crystals and my phone." I tell him as I pull out a pokeball and pass it to Harper. "This is a Popplio that you saw the last time you were at the Brooklet." I say as she looks at the pokeball. I pulled out another one and handed it to Serah. "This is the Squirtle you met last time you were at the Brooklet, treat him with respect and he may help you." I say and she nods. "Alright you two now come on." "Remember guys you have school in the morning." I say as I walk towards the door.
"Lana stop." My father says as I look at him. "Where are you going and why are your sisters with you." He says as I turn and look at him. "I have a challenger tonight and I told you that, that's why I slept this morning." I say as I walk towards the dresser and grab something I almost forgot. "What do you mean, you have a challenger tonight, I thought you could only do a trial in the morning." He says as he steps closer. "No you can have a challenger at any point in a day." I say as I grab another, Z-crystal off the dresser. "Well I forbid you to go, tonight, tomorrow, or ever again." He says as he grabs my arm. His nails pushed against my wrist I can feel the blood run down my arm as they dug in deeper and deeper. "Release out sister." I hear Harper as I hear a pokeball burst open. "Yeah leave her alone." I hear Serah say as I hear a second ball burst open. "Or what, what will two six year old's do." He says in a teasing voice until something he sees makes him back off. I look over to see that my sisters both have a Z-ring on and have the Waterium-Z attached to them. "Or we will use the force of Alola." They say together in perfect harmony. He let go of me and backed away. "If you cannot accept that I am responsible for the Brooklet than why do you even care." I say to my father as I walk out the door my sisters not far behind me.
When I arrived at the Brooklet I saw that there were some kids outside of the entrance. One was a kid with an oddly colored Lycanroc at his side and a Rowlett on his shoulder. I was drawn to him, he seemed to hold a hidden power.
"Hau would you calm down? This is the location we have to be in for the next trial and have some patience." A girl with brown hair and a blue shirt with an Empoleon by her side said. She said this to a kid with green hair and hazelnut skin. "That is what the map says but at the same time it also says that the captain should be here. Maybe she is just running late. The map says she lives on another part of the island." A blonde haired girl says as she pulls out a map of Akala. The girl with brown hair nodded as well. "Hey has anyone seen Ash." The blonde said as I looked around for the kid that had the Lycanroc and Rowlett. He sat on top of a rock that overlooked the Brooklet, but now he wasn't there, and I am pretty sure that I would have heard him move from where he was. "Why are you spying on us." I hear a deep male voice say behind me. I nearly jumped out of my skin and actually fell out of my hiding spot. "I wasn't spying, I was trying to figure out who the trial goers were." I say defensively. The person who had snuck up on me came out of the bushes and walked towards me. His amber eyes burned with anger, but on the inside they held a kindness. His clothes were form fitting and I could see his abs. 'two, four, six, oh he has a six pack. oh my Lunala you could grind meat on those.' "Are you the trial captain." He asks me. His gruff voice was something of a dream for me. 'Lana get yourself together girl, he probably had a girlfriend.' I say in my head as he helps me up. "Yeah, my name is Lana." I say as I take his hand. And as I take his hand I feel a small shock of electricity. It wasn't actual electricity more like sparks, like sparks you hear about in romance movies. "I'm Ash, I am here to take your trial." He says in that deep voice that was making me want to be his. I nod to him and walk over to the gate.
"Welcome to the Brooklet Hills trial site, now as I understand it we have two trial goers tonight." I say as I stand before the two boys. They nod and I walk towards the gate. I place my Z-ring onto the gate and it opens. "Now before we begin, allow me to introduce myself, I am the water trial captain, Lana, and these are my sisters Serah and Harper." I say as the twins come out from behind the bushes. "Now, Hau, you may go first." Hau nodded and ran into the trial zone. He seemed over confident and seemed to hold an iron will. "Alright Ash you will go next the trial if done correctly should take no more than an hour." He nodded and I finally saw his face. Spiky raven black hair, amber eyes, and lightning bolt like marks above his cheeks. "Ash Ketchum, I thought I recognized your name." I say as I pull out a picture of a city covered in snow and all the Pokémon heading towards the south from Alola. "I remember this day, I had just taken over the responsibilities of a trial captain from my mother when the tidal bell we keep here began to ring. Lugia had risen and with the help of his chosen hero, he was going to save the world." I say to him as he begins to tear up. "Melody was my only true friend that day, accept for Lugia." He says as he walks away. "Ash there is no reason to leave, stay please." The girl with brown hair said as she reached out to him, but he glowed blue and disappeared. "Lillie, he vanished again." She says to the blonde who pulls out her bag and a small Pokémon popped out and looked at her. "Nebby, I need you to find Ash alright, he may be in danger." Lillie said as the small Pokémon also glowed and vanished before my eyes.
"Oh so you reminded him of his past. Well you see Ash recently had an incident with his friends, they betrayed him and left him for dead in the woods. The legendaries found him, he was barely alive and so they sent here to Alola to get him away from those he was betrayed by. That is when he met Lillie and Hau, they helped him heal and also watched over his Pokémon that returned to him." Verity explained as she brought out some berries for some reason. "But at the same time there was also this Celebi that would visit him in the night. It would sometimes bring a pokeball with it and place it near Ash's heart." Lillie explained as she brought out a pokeball and it snapped open. Then in her lap was a small mouse like Pokémon. "Hey Pichu, I want to play a little." The small Pokémon nodded and began to run around. Lillie would chase it. They acted like this was completely normal, that Ash would just vanish like this. "So why would reminding him of his past make him teleport away like that." I ask as Verity walks over to me, "The traitors found out he was still alive, after he had a battle with his mother." She said as she began to turn the barriers into a paste. "She went home that day crying and just like that his life entered a downward spiral. Many of the traitors started to appear here in Alola, some trying to make him go back to Kanto, saying that they had changed and that they were sorry." Verity as she pulled out a bottle of water and turned the paste into a liquid like state that was blue. "While others tried to steal his new Pokémon from him, while holding his old ones captive." Lillie explained. She had just grabbed Pichu and now looked angry with the thought of these people. "His oldest friend actually said that he was too weak to even be near her as she is the Kalos queen now." Lillie continued. "However when she found out Ash was still alive she showed up and challenged him to a battle." Lillie got this look in her eyes that was similar to how I looked earlier when I was having that fantasy. "He was vicious and completely devastated her." Verity explained as she showed me the video. "So that is the infamous power of Lycanroc Dusk form." I say as I watch both battlers going head to head. Starting as a small Rockruff the battle was a little one-sided. But then I watched as a fire attack seemed to be this person's undoing, as the Rockruff glowed and began to change forms. It's body extended and became more wolf-like and his eyes changed colors to an emerald green. Its fur became white, black and orange like Halloween. "From here on the power the two put out messes with the video but that Absolutely is still in the poke center. And according to Kukui that was them holding back." I cringed when Verity said this. "I hope I didn't bring up bad memories for him." I say I'm a little nervous.
About an hour earlier: Ash POV
We had just walked past a ranch where there were tons of Pokémon just playing and having fun. I had just gotten out, of a battle with a Taurus and the person handed me a soothing bell. I was happy about that as it meant that I could make Crabrawler more friendly towards me. I called him out and wrapped the bell around him. "Alright Crabrawler we need to start training together, how about it." I say to him and he nods. I smile and begin to walk and he follows me.
As we walk, I look back at Crabrawler and see if he is still behind me. I can still hear the bell as we walk so I knew he was there, I just wanted to see if he was doing any better. I hated the way I captured him but I needed to as it would have been a problem for him. As a fighting type Crabrawler was at a disadvantage as a ghost fairy type is unaffected by most fighting type moves. I smiled as I remember that day, I had just completed my first trial and was walking back to town to have a battle with the Kahuna. He was battling Mimikyu and I saw it as an opportunity to capture some good Pokémon. I just wanted a friend. He needed a trainer. So we made a bond. Regardless of what the two of us thought at the time. "Crabrawler let's show them what trainers and Pokémon can do with a very little bond." He nodded and returned to his pokeball.
As we walked we ran into a girl with brown hair and wearing a blue shirt. She had blue eyes and an Empoleon at her side. "Verity." I say as I look at the girl. She had grown a lot since I last saw her. She was definitely eye candy and trust me when I say eye candy. Her chest was at least at a low C to a high B, her hair was at least down to her shoulders. She was slim and had that gymnast body. "You know Ash you shouldn't stare, it's disrespectful." I hear her say as I shake my head and look her in the eye. "Sorry about that you're just hot now." I said absentmindedly to her. She blushes and punches my shoulder. "I heard from Arceus that you were looking for some new friends, thought I fit the bill." I nod until Mewtwo appeared and spoke to me mentally. "Remember what Arceus and Lugia said, that you will love multiple women." I only nod to him and he returns. "So Verity wants to travel with us." Lillie asks as she knew what Lugia and Arceus had in mind for me. Verity seems to think for a minute before nodding.
Verity pulls me into a hug and then pulls out a map and points out where the next trial site is. "The next is the water trial and reports say that there have been sightings of the gym leader Misty." At the mention of her name I tense up one of the traitors was in the area. If she interrupted my trial I may not be able to control what I did. There were always high levels of Aura in the cities. I knew this was a test of my control. "Alright let's head there." We all nodded to each other but Lillie stayed close to me in fear of my aura getting out of hand.
When we arrived at the site it was late and the trial captain wasn't even there. "What if we missed her, or if there was something we had to do at the ranch." Hau says as he begins to freak out. I was sitting on top of a rock overlooking what I thought was the trial site and then I heard it. The snap of a twig, the sound wasn't very loud which told me that the thing that snapped it wasn't very large but was trying too hard to be stealthy. I portaled behind the being and waited until it had come to rest. When light from the moon shone through the trees, I saw that it was a girl with blue hair and a blue Z-ring on her wrist. 'She must be the trial captain.' I say in my head.
This is about where Lana comes in and from here on the story continues.
I portaled myself into an unfamiliar location. There were ruins like stones littered in the surrounding grass. At the center there was what looked like a battlefield. At the center of said battlefield was what looked like a pink pot with an antenna. Lycanroc growled at the thing and Rowlett became nervous. My other Pokémon popped out of their pokeballs and stared at the thing. Each reacting a little differently. Then my other Pokémon just started teleporting to me. Everyone was here. At least those I had received back from the traitors, and Jangmo-o had appeared. The pot then popped open and revealed something that looked similar to Tapu Koko, from when he saved me. Then Mewtwo and Mew popped out of their pokeballs and stared at the Pokémon, well until Mew rushed forward yelling "SISTER!" in a squeaky voice. Mewtwo face palmed and it made me smile to see him do so. "Tapu Lele, nice to see you again." He says as he rubs his temple. "Wait this is the Tapu of this island." I say as Lycanroc nods to me. Said Tapu looked over to me and smirked before floating over and slapping me. "Tapu Lele, you know better than to slap the chosen one." A god-like voice spoke as Arceus appeared behind Tapu Lele. "Yes Papa." She said in an innocent voice. And floated back towards the battlefield. Arceus then nodded and teleported away. "Chosen One I understand your anger towards your friends, but you must understand that Akala isn't the place to be angry, your Pokémon have begun to return to you. You have two girls in love with you and you have to get that temper under control, Tapu Koko may love to battle but I hate to see innocents hurt so you can simply grow. Remember this because we may one day join you." She said as my Pokémon looked at me. "Your right, however if they challenge me am I aloud to battle them." She smirked and said "I said I do not like the innocent to be harmed however, if they challenge you, make them suffer." I almost shivered at her words because the way she said it was kinda spooky. Almost like a serial killer. She then smiled and my Pokémon began to teleport back to Kukui's lab. "Oh and one more thing, Chosen One two more allies are closer than you think." Tapu Lele says. As my Pokémon return to their pokeballs. She then teleported me back to the trial site.
I had a smile on my face as I stepped back over to the girls. "He is taking this journey to show his friends that he will always get back up. Even at the darkest moments the light will always find him." I heard Verity say as I felt a presence behind me. "Come out Marshadow I know you are there." I say as the small fighter appears out of my shadow. "Mar." He says as he stands next to me. He hands me a Cherish Ball and a Z-crystal. "It's time for me to get a trainer and I felt like you were the best choice." He says as he taps the Cherish Ball. I feel the pokeball ping signaling capture and then it glows and teleports to the lab. I feel happier like Marshadow had revealed the memory to me. "Chosen One know, that I may be here at the place your Pokémon are but I will always be with you, I leave you both the dark feather and the rainbow feather you used to awaken my lord Ho-oh may you one day call on her." I hear Marshadow say in my head. I look down at my jacket and see the rainbow feather glowing brightly. "You hold the power to restore anyone's light to full power." I hear him say in my head again. I smile and walk towards everyone. I feel my anger and aggression disappearing. "Hey guys." I say and my voice sounds more relaxed, the more it's normal tone, just a bit older. Everyone turned to me and smiled. "Hey Ash welcome back, we were just talking about you." Lillie said as I stepped up to the gate. "Hau already completed his trial and he has gone back to the pokecenter to heal his Pokémon." Lana explained as she blushed. "Alright, Come one out Rowlett, Pikipek." I say as the two avian Pokémon appear. Lana nodded and we entered the trial site.
When I saw that this was basically a water battle I was happy that I brought Rowlett and Pikipek with me. "Ash you know you have access to all of your Pokémon right." I nod to Lana as I shift the pants I was wearing into shorts. I also begin to take off my shirt until I see Lana's eyes. She had those sympathetic eyes. She had seen the scar. I dropped my shirt and nodded to my Pokémon. The two of them took to the air while I ran and jumped into the water.
The water felt good against my skin as I swam deeper and deeper. "You weakling, can't even train your water types right." Her voice says in my head as I go deeper. "You really are such a little kid, maybe Iris is right with that insult." I hear again. That is when I see her. Her orange hair, pale skin, and blue swimsuit. (Alola episode clothes when she goes swimming with Lana.) I dove out of the water as well as she and we faced each other. "So the weakling really did leave the region." "Look a traitorous bitch, welcome to my home turf." I say as Tapu Lele floats down next to me. She looks at the red haired traitor and starts to laugh. "This woman wants to be the master of all water types, she probably barely handles that Staryu of hers." Tapu Lele says circling Misty. "Chosen One, the Totem Pokémon have asked to battle this girl with you, come forth Wishiwashi, Araquanid." Two Pokémon appeared. One was a small fish Pokémon that was white and blue and looked like it wanted to cry. It looked at Misty and let off a knowing smile. The other was a giant green spider like Pokémon with big blue eyes and had a water bubble surrounding it's head. It made me feel small and scared. It provoked fear and intimidation. It looked at Misty like she wasn't even worth its while. Araquanid passed me a blue Z-crystal and nodded to me. "Ash, it says you have passed the trial you can use the Z-move." I hear Lana say on the dock. Rowlett and Pikipek stood next to the two Pokémon on lily pads and stones.
"Misty calls Gyarados, Seaking, Starmie, and Kingdra." She yells out as her four Pokémon appear. "Let's make a wager Misty, I win you return my Pokémon, if I lose I come back with you and I stop being a trainer." I hear Lana gasp and I look at her with a smile. That was when Lillie, Verity, and Hau ran into the fray. "Ash, show her your true strength and hold nothing back." I hear them yell to me. I take off my Z-ring and toss it to Lillie. "Hold on to this Beautiful." She catches it and blushes. "This battle between Ash Kukui of Melemele Island and Misty Waterflower of Cerulean City shall now begin, challenger has the first move, and begin." Lana said as she watched the battle unfold. A shadow appeared around Wishiwashi as she dived under the water then a giant fish that appeared to be made of Wishiwashi appeared. "And from the start the Totem Pokémon is going strong as its ability school form takes effect." I hear Verity say into a recorder. After she went back to Sinnoh she stopped doing what she was doing and started taking recordings of battles she had. Now she does it for me as I battle. "Kingdra makes this a quick match. I want to be back in time for tea time. Use Dragon Pulse." She says in a starky attitude. I laugh and give a command to my Pokémon. "Pikipek, take this to the air, Rowlett, just like we practiced, Protect." Rowlett appears in front of the attack and puts a green barrier up in front of himself and the Totem Pokémon. "Araquanid uses Reflect," I say to the spider Pokémon as he follows the command. "Seaking, use Surf to try to knock Rowlett down." She says as she still has confidence apparent in her voice. "Pikipek switch with Rowlett, Protect." Pikipek flew down and Rowlett shot up and flew above the battlefield. When Surf came Pikipek was surrounded by a green barrier as it protected Wishiwashi appeared next to Pikipek and did the same. When the surf stopped, Pikipek was barely able to fly, it was still low level I think but it was also determined.
There was a silence. Then there was a glow that spread around Pikipek. It was evolving, and I smirked. The glow became blinding and then it vanished and before me was a larger woodpecker Pokémon as she flew before me as she stared down at Misty's Pokémon. "Trumbeak, the woodpecker Pokémon, there Pokémon usually serve as queens of a nest of Pikipek. Known for caring for the young of the nest Trumbeak fight off predators who get too close to the nest." I hear Rotom say as Trumbeak stands tall. "Alright here we go. Lillie may I have my ring please." Lillie nods and throws me my Z-ring. I catch it on my hand and it slides into place. I pull out the cerulean blue z-crystal with a feather on it and connect it to my Z-ring. "Alright Rowlett, Trumbeak stand with me." They both nod and fly down and stand next to me. "Alright here we go." I say as I cross my arms at the wrist over my chest. Then the side, cross in front, to summon the power of the crystal, let it wash over me, Rowlett, and Trumbeak. Flap my arms like wings, crouch down, then jump up and make a superman punch. Call out the move name "Supersonic Skystrike." I yell as both of them are surrounded by the Z-power and perform the attack in perfect sync. The attacks hit Kingdra, and Gyarados who fainted instantly. "Misty were is that big mouth of yours." I ask, taunting her as she begins to shake in her boots as her two power houses have just fallen from one attack. "I still have two Pokémon able to battle don't get cocky." She says as she tries to pull off a look of victory. Araquanid and Wishiwashi both perform an attack and knock Seaking out. "Make that 1 Pokémon still standing." I say as I look at her still trying to make a comeback. "Starmie use Aqua Ring hopefully that will help me a little bit." She says as I just smirk. "Rowlett use Leafege." Quills appear and are fired at Starmie who takes the hit directly and is launched back. "Trumbeak use Bullet Seed." I say as my woodpecker Pokémon went to work pushing the Starmie back even farther in health. "This battle is over, All of Miss. Waterflower's Pokémon are fainted, which means that the winner of this match is Ash Kukui." Misty fell to her knees and returned her injured Pokémon. She pulls out six pokeballs and hands them to me. She is crying once she realizes that I am not one to mess with and never have been. "Here Ash, these are your Palpitoad, Kingler, Corphish, Scraggy, Boldore, and Snivy." She said as she handed me each pokeball. They all teleported to the lab. "Misty, if it is alright by you, I would like to never see you again, as your betrayal was the worst I ever felt." I say to her as I walk away from her. I turn back towards her for just a second. "Maybe one day, we can be friends again but for now, I see no reason to be friends with you." I say as I turn once more and walk the opposite direction of my group. I feel something pulling me forward. Calling out to me. "Ash we need to get going." I nod and leave the Brooklet with Misty following us out. When we got outside the police came and took Misty away for conspiracy to murder, and poke theft.
"Hey Ash, who was that lady." Lana Asks me as we enter the Pokémon center to heal. "She was a girl I met after I traveled with Verity and Sorrel." I say as I take out a picture of me and all my friends the night before the betrayal, we were all smiling as I held the second place trophy over my head. Who knew that that was all a farce. "I owed her a bike because my original partner fried her bike." I say to Lana as I smile. "We traveled the rest of Kanto, and all of the orange islands, and Johto, together. In every region she was like my sister, helping me when she could, getting jealous of a girl named Melody who was flirting with me." I say to her as memories come back to me. They were once happy but now all they were, were dark reminders that she left me for dead. "After Johto she went home and I only saw her a couple of times after that when I traveled to Kanto for the Battle Frontier." I explain as I pull out another picture and show Lana. Even more memories flooded my mind, and it made me angry, I battled the frontier and I won, trainers stronger than any Elite four. It only took me about 10 battles total. Yet when it came to a tournament and I lose I get betrayed. I am the Orange Island champion and that is not an achievement to them. "She was the first to speak the night of my betrayal calling me weak and useless. Saying that all my victories were flukes." I say as those memories come back to me. "But now I feel better, she is no longer in my life, and instead I have three gorgeous girls in my life, two are dating me and the third is standing next to me." I say to her as she blushes.
"Remember Chosen One what Lugia told you, The keeper of the Brooklet and the maiden of the Jungle shall be an important part of your journey." Marshadow said in my head. "Want to join me Lana on a journey across Alola." I ask her as we leave the poke-center. She just shakes her head. "Unfortunately I have a father who is trying to get me to stop being a trial captain, so I seriously doubt he would let me travel the region with a boy, his two girlfriends, and their friend who is also the boys rival." She says as we continued to walk, we had walked to route 5 where there were two Sudowoodo blocking the way. When they saw our Z-crystals they quickly ran off and unblocked the path. Me and Lana continued to walk down the path while Hau, Lillie, Verity, and Lana's two sisters walked into a plaza looking place. I caught a quick glance of a tournament hall and that kid that Lillie has a picture of.
We walked into a tunnel with tons of gleaming stones, and sometimes a Zubat or two would fly overhead. As we pass a mine-like area, I see an Eevee laying on the ground badly beaten with a few bigger Pokémon looking over it with smirks. Counting the Pokémon I saw that there were five. There was a strange Dragon like Pokémon with golden scales and what appeared to be knuckles. There was a Tyranitar, a Garchomp, Charizard, a Salamance, and an Aggron.
They began to close in on Eevee when a Litten jumped in front of the Eevee and stared them all down. I saw this and knew he needed help. I drew Mimikyu's pokeball and threw it out. "Mimikyu help him out." I shout as my ghost friend appears. "Wobbuffet give Ash some assistance." I hear an all to familiar voice say behind me as a blue Pokémon appears alongside Mimikyu. "Jessie what are you doing here." I say as the pinkette steps beside me. "Helping." She said as she pulled out a Z-ring. "Listen to me Ash, before I lived in Kanto, I lived here in Alola, I was the original trial captain for the psychium-Z crystal." She says as she shows me the Z-crystal. I nod and stand next to her.
"Oh even more weaklings lets see if you can beat me." I hear a voice say as I grow angry. It was Tobias, but where was his Latios and Darkrai. "Tobias." I say as I crotch down. "Well look who it is, Ketchum, the reason I no longer have those weak legendaries." He says with a smirk. "What did you do with them." I say as Litten and Mimikyu get into a battle ready stance. "I severely beat them and left them for dead by some ruins when they lost to a weak Pokémon." That's when my aura sprang to life, he disrespected what were basically gods to people, but also who were my friends this was not allowed. "Mimikyu, you have five targets they all need to fall." I say as he nods to me. Litten looked to me and ran over to Eevee and dragged her to me. "Lit." It says to me and points to a pokeball on my belt then Eevee and Himself. "You got it Litten." I say as I pull out two pokeballs and tap Eevee. It pinged instantly and teleported to the lab. "Alright Litten, you and me together." He nods and taps the other pokeball with his paw. I grab Crabrawler pokeball and send it to the lab, "Alright Litten come on out." I say as the small cat like Pokémon appears on the ground. "Mimikyu, Litten together." I say as they nod. I see blue hues spread across them both and they smile at me. "Litten Ember on Aggron." I say as he rushes forward, Charizard tries to get in the cat's way only for Mimikyu to knock the dragon back with Play Rough. "Salamence stop that fur ball use Dragon Pulse." Tobias says only for Mimikyu to step in front of the attack and do the same to Salamance that he did to Charizard. The difference is that Salamence fell to the ground and fainted. "Worthless Pokémon." Tobias said as he pulled out a pokeball and snapped it in half.
My world slowed down and became red. Tobias had just sealed his fate. "Mimikyu, get into stance." He nodded to me and Litten jumped back and stood next to her. The two nodded to each other and stared down the opponent. "Garchomp Surf, knock them both out." Tobias yells and I smirk. And as the surf got closer I nodded to Mimikyu who jumped in front and waited for my command. "Mirror Coat Wobbuffet, send that power back." I hear Jessie say as the blue Pokémon jumps in front of both of my Pokémon and makes a rainbow barrier appear around himself and adsorbs the power and sends it back to the Tyranitar. Wobbuffet jumps back and stands next to Mimikyu and Litten. "Alright you two as a team." They nod and I take my stance. Cross over the chest, to my sides, Then forward, I stop and look to my left and see that Jessie is following my movements, she had been holding off the Tyranitar on her own with Wobbuffet and got what I was doing. She nodded to me as we slid our arms to the side. Then took one to the other side. Then crossed at our chest once more and called it out. "Z-Mimic, Breakneck Blitz, Hydro Vortex, Draconic Rage." We yelled together as the three attacks surrounded our Pokémon who dove into action performing them flawlessly. The five Pokémon before us all fell to their knees and Tobias crushed their pokeballs in his hands. The Pokémon howled in pain as the pokeballs turned to dust. I pulled out five more pokeballs and got the Professor on the phone, "Professor I need a trainers license revoked asap he just abandoned five Pokémon who are injured from battle, sending them your way now." I said as I threw the five pokeballs which all glowed teleported away to the lab, to be healed. "Tobias is the trainers name, he is leaving Diglett cave." The professor responded accordingly, I heard the sound of an emergency pokeball release sound and then I heard the sound of sirens. "He was captured." The professor says to me as I nod and me and Lana continue our walk through the cave.
As we leave the cave we see the police have Tobias in cuffs as he tries to escape. I walk past and he doesn't say a word to me. He knows that I have finally beaten him. It felt good. Then something happens, two pokeballs fall out of his pocket and roll towards me. I pick them up and look at them. I then walk over to Tobias and look him dead in the eyes. "You never released the legendaries did you." He nods. "Those Pokémon you had, they weren't yours were they, they were trainers. He abused them and you stole them to save their lives. The act was to make me think they were your Pokémon, so that I wouldn't hold back, so that I would believe that you were angry, so angry that you would break their pokeballs if they lost." He nods again. "You wanted me to capture those Pokémon and send them back to my dad to have them healed, and because you don't have a professor you needed someone that you knew did, you were watching me." He nods again. "Officer released this kid, he did nothing wrong." They nod and he pulls out a badge. "I work with your friend Cross, he heard about the traitors and what happened to you from this region's champion. He also told me that those five would need a trainer like you, to become stronger, to heal from the mental scars their trainer out on them." I nodded then I passed him the two pokeballs but he pushed them away. "These two were looking for you for a while, keep them safe, I have my other Pokémon, they were just looking for you, asking to be brought to you." I nod and the pokeballs turn to Cherish balls and teleport to the lab. Tobias nods to the officers who pat him on the back and laugh. "Hey Ash mind if I travel with you to the next town, my transfer is waiting for me there." I nod and we walk down the road.
Lillie POV
Lana was a close friend of mine, since I first traveled the region with Sun and Moon, the two brothers, one went to work with my mother and the other went and became the champion. But now my mom is at it again. She sent Moon somewhere and Sun is out of the region dealing with Ash's friends. That Misty chick made three that attacked him. Which means somewhere someone told the others where he was.
"Maybe my mom was behind this somehow." I say under my breath. I walk into the poke-center and see that Ash and Lana are no longer with us. "Hey guys have you seen Ash and Lana." I ask the other two as they both shake their heads. "They left a while ago. I think they missed the turn the two of them were talking about Ash's past with Misty." Verity says as she puts her Pokémon in the tray to heal, Hau does the same. I just shrug my shoulders and walk outside and see if the two return throughout the night. When it became late I began to worry. The two had wandered off a little while ago. I was worried yes but not scared because I knew that Ash was strong enough to take care of both of them.
Ash POV
We entered a small town with some fancy buildings and a lighthouse. We walked through the town and looked at each building. Lana explained that she lived here as well as one of the other trial captains and the Kahuna."Hey Lana, where are your sisters." I say as I realize that her sisters came with us but where not with us now. I smiled at that because it meant that I couldn't be here but with the help of the trial captain I was. "Choose one to come to the docks we are waiting for you there." I hear a female voice say in my mind.I knew that voice from somewhere but where. I grabbed Lana's arm and began to pull her through the town. "Left at the next corner, then rush forward." The voice says to me. I run faster and faster. Infusing my aura into my muscles and lungs. Jumping over people and running on walls. As I get close to the voice grows silent.
When I arrived at the dock, there were four people standing on the end. The first looked a lot like Gary except his eyes were a deep blue and there was a Blastoise behind him. The person standing next to him was a girl in a yellow sundress (Not sure if this is correct just always pictured her like this). She had a Pidgey on her arm and seemed to be having an adamant conversation with the bird. Behind her was a girl with a very big sun hat on her head with a red skirt, she had a blue top with a white collar with a red bag over her shoulder (Her Leaf Green attire). She had a Venasaur behind her and the Pokémon had a mega band around its tree. The stone firmly locked into the band. But they were not the ones I was focused on.
There was a man who looked like me, standing behind them all. Behind him was a Charizard with a mega gauntlet on it's left arm. At the center of the gauntlet was a black and blue stone. I knew all too well from when I fought a similar Charizard in Kalos. The man himself had raven black hair, with a red ball cap on his head, he also had a red jacket (His Soul Silver clothes). He radiated power and made me back up. This was a scary group of people, apart they were powerful, together they were one unstoppable team. Red, the reigning champion of Kanto flew above the docks on his Charizard, the others were Blue Oak, Green, and their friend Yellow. The four most powerful trainers in the world. And they were all looking at me.
