The Penguin Champion: Thanks for another awesome review my friend! For real ones like those make my day and make me wanna get right back to writing! Glad you agree with my opinion on Lillie being awesome xD I hope you like the moments in this chapter! Also you're right May DID see something O.O haha to anwser your questions, yes Lillie will be with Dom more then in the games. Some parts she'll have to be away from him like when we visit Aether, and other parts but she will be with him more then in the main game. To answer your second question the main story will be based on Pokemon Sun, with some small parts of Ultra thrown in, for example Dom's going to catch a Pokemon that is only available in Ultra in a location, Ultra will be a sequel to this story when I get that far. I hope to see your review again!
Darth Leo: Thanks so much my friend! I hope you enjoy and keep on reading!
The Pokemon Whisperer: Alola
"Treecko are we missing anything?" Dom called out to his partner as he waited for the coffee to brew.
"No, I think we're good! But we could always pack another box of-."
"NO!" He said sternly cutting off the gecko Pokemon.
"Fine, fine… Oh man I am so excited!" Treecko said eagerly climbing up the kitchen counter next to the coffee maker.
Dom smiled at his enthusiasm. After his conversation with Brenden and May the night before he drifted into a dreamless sleep. He only managed a few hours and was up just as the sun was rose. He couldn't let himself get more then a few hours with the apprehension he was feeling. He was excited of course, going through a new region, meeting new Pokemon, it was always an exciting thing. He just had the feeling in the pit of his stomach that this one would be a lot different. He just hoped he was ready for it.
He finished brewing up his pot of coffee and poured two cups for him and Treecko. He didn't know how coffee affected a Pokemon, but Treecko had become fond of the stuff on the cruise to Alola. He needed it to calm his nerves as he waited at the kitchen table for Lillie to arrive. His bag was packed, he was washed, dressed, and ready to get going.
He kept both hands on his mug and slowly sipped the brown, hot liquid as Treecko eagerly gulped somehow ignoring the heat.
The Hoenn starter seemed to notice something was off and looked up at him. "You okay? You seemed worried." He asked his trainer.
Dom sighed and took another sip. "Well, I guess you could say that. I… I'm still thinking about what Tapu Koko said."
"Yeah I understand. That thing was radiating power. I don't think it's smart to not listen to it." He explained to the trainer.
Dom nodded in agreement. "You're right about that. It's just… what's this endless darkness? What's the threat that I should be looking out for? And I'm supposed to be the one to stop it, I just don't know if I'm ready." He said to the Pokemon.
Treecko gulped down the last of his coffee and dramatically set his mug down. "Oh, come on Dom! Of course, you're ready! You took down Team Magma and Team Flare! You rode a legendary Pokemon into SPACE and stopped a meteor this will be nothing!"
Dom shook his head. "You mean I helped do all of that. There's no Brenden, May, Calem or Serena to help me this time. It's all on me and I don't know if-."
He was interrupted by a knock on the door. His mood brightened right away, and he stood up.
"Awesome, that must be Lillie!" He said excitedly walking over towards the door.
He heard Treecko laughed behind him. "Hehe, I bet you're REALLY excited that Lillie's here."
"Shut up." He spat back to the grass-type only making the Pokemon laugh more.
Dom rolled his eyes and swung the door open. Sure, enough he was right and it was Lillie. She was dressed in her knee long white dress, and large frilly white hat. She smiled at him, but Dom being observant noticed the small bags under her eyes, making it look like she was having trouble sleeping.
"Morning Dom! Hope I wasn't interrupting anything." She said with a cute smile.
If her smile gets any cuter then I'm going to get a nosebleed. He thought, before mentally smacking himself.
He shook his head. "No, me and Treecko were just talking. Come on in, have a cup of coffee before we head out. You look tired a cup would do you wonders." He said gesturing for her to come in.
She followed him and the two came over to Treecko who Dom had to hurriedly remove the coffee pot away from.
"Hey! I want another cup!" The Hoenn native protested.
Dom shook his head. "Oh no, your limit is one. I don't want you hyped up on caffeine all day. Now go make sure I didn't forget anything from the list." He ordered.
Treecko grumbled something about not being his butler, but eventually relented, leaving into Dom's room. Lillie chuckled a little, making his heart thump again before he pulled out another coffee mug setting it out in-front of her.
She looked at it and shook her head. "Oh, I… I don't drink coffee, my mother always said I was too young for it I… I can't…" She said worriedly.
Dom laughed a little and poured her a cup anyway. "Ha to young? Please I've been drinking the stuff since I was 10, it's the only thing my Dad and I have in common. Here I can add-."
"No! I… I can't, I…I…I can't disobey her…" She said, bringing her hands to the side of her head.
Dom was taken aback and just stared at her with a jug off milk in his hand. He didn't know how to respond to her outburst. He hadn't expected the timid girl to last out like she did, however he kept his cool.
"Okay… no coffee then. Are… are you okay Lillie?" He asked her carefully.
Her eyes widened as she seemed to realize her outburst. She nodded her head. "I… I'm okay, I'm so sorry I snapped like that! I… I just-."
Dom shook his head and laughed a little. "Haha, what did I tell you about apologizing all the time? It's okay, really it is." He assured her.
She sighed in relief. "Thank you… I… I just had another nightmare, about my mother…" She said, obviously not wanting to reveal more.
Dom slowly nodded his head understanding the situation more. He didn't want to pry on the girl, she had just met her yesterday after all. No matter how well he thought they managed to connect in that one day, he knew it wasn't his place to inquire any further. He would put it in the back of his mind for now, and let her tell him when he was ready.
Dom nodded in understanding. "Nightmares huh? I understand how bad they can be trust me. Look Lillie I won't pry you for information but know if… you need to talk about anything I'm here." He said with a small smile.
She looked at him for a moment before a small embarrassed smile appeared. "Th… thank you, that means more to me then you know."
This time Dom did see the red appear on her face, and suddenly he felt his face get hot as well.
Stop it right now! She's waiting for you back in Kalos, it wouldn't be fair to Lillie to do this. He mentally scolded himself before awkwardly laughing.
"Haha, soooo how about that coffee? You can ask Treecko, I make a mean cup, here watch this." He said pulling the jug of milk back out.
He took the hot cup of coffee he poured for Lillie and fixed it up for her. He added milk, sugar, creamer, and after putting the finishing touches on slid it in-front of her. A small lightbulb went off in his head and he ran to the cabinet, where he pulled out a small tray of macaroons that he had made on the boat two days before and slid a few on the plate to Lillie.
"Here we go! We'll call it the Harper special, fresh cup off coffee, and macaroons baked by yours truly!" He said with a small fake bow.
This managed a small giggle from the blonde. Treecko seemingly because he heard the word 'macaroons' ran back into the kitchen.
"DID YOU TAKE THE MACAROONS OUT!?" He said eagerly, jumping on the counter.
Dom laughed and nodded, dumping the rest of the baked goods onto a plate for Treecko who happily started to dig in. Dom looked over at Lillie who was still looking at the cup apprehensively.
Dom laughed and moved it closer to her. "It's a lot worse when it's cold trust me haha." He told her.
She smiled a little and picked up the mug with both hands. She carefully took a sip of it, recoiling slightly at the heat before taking a longer gulp. When all was said and done the blonde girl had downed half the mug in one go.
She looked at Dom wide eyed. "That was fantastic! It tastes like vanilla, it wasn't too hot, it was sweet, wow!" She said amazed, carefully picking up a macaroon next.
Dom rubbed his head sheepishly at the compliment. Lillie took a bite out of the macaroon and then tossed the rest of it into her mouth.
She smiled and looked up at him. "Wow, I didn't know you can bake so well! These macaroons are fantastic!" She said excitedly.
"Pew!" Dom heard before he could respond.
Nebby had managed to find his way out of Lillie's bag and was sniffing the other macaroons on Lillie's plate. Dom smiled and picked up one, handing it out to the small cloud Pokemon.
"Here you go buddy." He said kindly, as the purple cloud happily ate out of his hand.
Dom laughed as the cloud happily ate from his hand. He was still worried that he couldn't understand him in the back of his head, but at least he could say with certainty now the Pokemon seemed to be completely harmless.
Dom smiled and heard Lillie speak up. "How did you learn to bake so well Dom?" She asked taking at bite out of the last of her macaroon.
He felt a chill go up his spine as he nervously rubbed the back of his head again. "Haha well um… my… uh ex-girlfriend back in Kalos was a really good baker. She showed me a few things." He said, still not liking the term 'ex-girlfriend' associated with Serena.
The air seemed to deflate from Lillie's body slowly as she bit her lip nervously. "O…oh that's nice of her. Well she… she taught you well!" She said, trying to sound excited.
Dom his stomach fall and felt small guilt wash over his body. "Ha… yeah I guess she did." He said nervously.
The two teens sat there in awkward silence for a moment, not meeting the others eye. However, thankfully Treecko was there to break the ice.
"UGHHHH I am stuffed!" The gecko said before letting out a long belch.
Dom snickered and started laughing, soon to be followed by Lillie. The two looked at each other laughing, a smile returning to both of there faces. Dom looked over at Lillie's gorgeous green eyes as she laughed at the Pokémon's antics before he felt his heart thump in his chest again. He felt his stomach churn and ache.
I'm going on a whole journey with this girl, I need to get this under control. He thought to himself.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Professor Kukui's lab wasn't far off according to Lillie. She told him it was down by the beach, which Dom made a mental note off. He knew he was on a tropical island and beaches were everywhere, but it was nice knowing one was within walking distance to his house. Not that he would be doing much beach going currently, what with the whole chosen one business he was apparently apart of. Soon, after a few moments of walking they came to a large patch of taller grass that separated them from the beach, Dom had been on enough adventures to know what that meant.
Lillie stopped at the grass and turned to him. "I… I'm not actually a trainer, I don't have any battling Pokemon. So, I have to use a lot of repels, do you mind if I…" She started gesturing for the longer path around the grass.
Dom shook his head. "No problem, I think it's time I train a little bit anyway. Right Treecko?" He asked the Pokemon on his shoulder.
"FINALLY! Good Arceus I've been waiting for a battle." The Pokemon said excitedly jumping down off his shoulder.
Dom and Lillie managed to share a laugh before she nodded her head. "Okay, just keep heading down the path through the grass and you'll be on the beach. You can't miss the lab, I'll see you there!" She said before walking down a diverging path.
Dom smiled happily as he watched her walk away, and Treecko responded by leaping up, and smacking him in the face with his tail.
"OW! What was that for!?" He demanded of the grass-type.
"You can stare at her later! Now's a time to train! If I'm going to be able to battle my dad one day we need to start training now!" He said eagerly jumping up and down.
"I was not staring!" Dom shot back at him.
Treecko rolled his eyes. "Yeah okay fine, you totally weren't staring at her. Now come on!" The Hoenn Pokemon said sarcastically.
Dom sighed but managed a smile. It was nice to see Treecko so dedicated to becoming stronger like Sceptile. He knew Treecko had two goals, to mega evolve, and to beat his father in a battle, and Dom was ready to help him however he could. He pulled out Litten's pokeball and tossed it up into the air. In a flash of light, the fire-cat Pokemon was standing next to Treecko with a tired look on his face.
"Oh man that was a good nap… oh hey Treecko, what are we doing?" He asked the gecko Pokemon.
"Well as soon as Dom's finished thinking about Lillie as a mate we're supposed to start training." The grass-type told his companion.
"Shut up. Let's just get going." Dom snapped at the two as they wadded into the grass.
The three of them waded into the tall grass and it wasn't fast before the first battle commenced. A Rattata and a Grubin attacked quickly, but were swiftly put down by a combination of Energy Ball and Flame Burst from Litten and Treecko. It continued on like this for several more minutes. Treecko and Litten managed to swiftly take down any of the wild Pokemon that came their way. Dom knew that no wild Pokemon in the area would match up with Treecko or Litten, however it was a good time for the two to develop chemistry and practice moves. He was hoping that Treecko and Litten could develop like Sceptile and Greninja did in Kalos for him.
Sceptile and Greninja were an unstoppable duo on his Kalos team. Sceptile with his mega-evolution, and Greninja with the special battle bond form that the two shared, made his team almost unbeatable. Even though Calem did managed to take him down, it was a close battle and it could have easily gone either way. He was upset that he lost the final, but he was glad that if he lost to anyone it was his friend Calem.
Now, he hoped that soon Litten and Treecko would be able to develop the same strength and chemistry that those two did. It seemed to be going well so far.
"Go! Bullet Seed and Flame Burst!" Dom ordered as a pair of Spearow swooped down towards them.
"You get the one on the left I'll hit the one on the right!" Treecko ordered to the fire-cat.
"Got it!" Litten said determined, arching his back.
The two attacks blasted from his Pokemon and the Spearow were hit dead on, and sent flying backwards. The two Pokemon managed to regain their flight and flew off, cursing more then Dom cared to repeat.
Dom knew most people would be surprised at just how much of a potty mouth some Pokemon had.
"Haha yes! Take that you ugly birds!" Treecko yelled flexing his small green arms.
"You never stood a chance!" Litten yelled launching a puff of fire from his mouth.
Dom smiled at his Pokémon's confidence and walked over to the two of them.
"That was great you two! You're becoming quite the team. Now we should probably get going to the Professor's lab so we-."
"DOM LOOK OUT!" Treecko yelled cutting him off.
Dom didn't have time to react. He looked to his right and just as he did he saw a small brown form running towards him on the ground.
"HEADS UP HUMAN!" He heard before his legs were taken out from under him.
He fell and landed on his back, right on-top of his bag.
"Ow…" He moaned as Litten and Treecko ran over to his side.
"Dom are you okay!?" Litten asked worriedly.
Dom slowly sat up and nodded his head. "Ugh… yeah I'm alright. Arceus what hit me? It was really fast."
Dom heard a small cough from a few feet away. "Ughhh that was me, sorry about that haha."
Dom looked over and a Pokemon was walking towards them. He recognized it as the Pokemon a boy was battling a Meowth with yesterday. It was small and dog like, with brown fur and seemed to have a mane of rocks around its neck. Despite just having ran full speed into a near full grown human, it didn't look like it was any worse for wear. In-fact Dom thought it looked like it could probably go run another few miles.
"Hey you gotta watch were you're going bub!" Treecko said angrily jumping in-front of him.
Dom held out a hand in-front of Treecko and walked in-front of him. "Don't mind Treecko. So, what's your name buddy?" He asked the small Pokemon.
"Nice to meet you I'm a Rockruff, and-. WOAH you can understand what I'm saying!? That's SO AWESOME!" The puppy Pokemon said wagging his tail excitedly.
Dom smiled, he loved seeing the excited look on a Pokémon's face when he revealed he could understand them. He nodded his head. "Yeah you bet! So, you were going pretty fast just now, and to knock me over? You must have some real power."
Rockruff nodded his head enthusiastically. "Oh yeah you bet! I'm really, really, REALLY fast! Like SUPER fast! You have no idea just how fast I can be! I was just jogging, you should see how fast I can really go when-."
"Okay buddy we get it you're fast." Treecko said cutting off the Rock-type.
Rockruff nodded his head. "You bet I am! I'm not only fast but I'm strong too! Wanna check it out! Come on I'll battle right now!" Rockruff said excitedly.
Dom smirked and nodded his head. "So, you wanna battle Treecko huh? Okay, we'll do it, but if we win you gotta join the team! We're taking on the Island Trials. If you were to come with us you'd surely get a lot stronger, not to mention a lot faster…" Dom said with a smile.
Dom looked down and got approving nods from Treecko and Litten before turning back to the puppy Pokemon. He excitedly jumped up a few times and nodded his head.
"Oh man the Island Trials!? HA YOU BET LET'S GO!" He said running back and getting ready to fight.
"Alright! Treecko you ready to go?" He asked the gecko Pokemon.
Treecko nodded and did a front-flip landing in-front of Dom with one hand on the ground. He slowly rose up and looked over at Rockruff.
"I hope you're ready for battle!" He said dramatically.
"Show off…" Litten muttered, getting Dom to nod in agreement.
Treecko shot them a glare then looked back at Rockruff. Dom knew he wanted to puppy Pokemon to join his team. He had a knack for spotting special Pokemon, and he knew after seeing just how fast the Pokemon was moving that he would make a great addition.
"Okay Treecko, let's start this off, use Quick Attack!" He shouted out.
"I'll show you speed!" Treecko yelled.
Treecko dashed forward with an insane amount of speed. Treecko had always been incredibly quick growing up so he expected the attack to hit.
However, he missed and Rockruff just at the last moment skillfully dodged to the side.
"Ha! To slow, now taste my Rock Throw!" The rock-type yelled.
Rockruff leaped up and fired a barrage of rocks towards Treecko.
"Deflect it with Bullet Seed!" Dom ordered quickly.
Treecko stopped on his spot and fired the green seeds from his mouth and hit the rocks causing the small field to go up in a puff of smoke.
"Now use Energy Ball!" Dom yelled wanting to get the upper hand.
Treecko grew the green ball in his hand waiting for the smoke to clear, expecting Rockruff to be there. However, the puppy Pokemon was gone when the smoke finally did clear.
"What!?" "What!?" he and Treecko both yelled at once.
"Behind ya!" Dom heard, and looked to see Rockruff had darted behind Treecko.
Rockruff ran forward and bit Treecko, causing the grass-type to yell.
"Treecko! Use, Pursuit, and then Energy Ball!" He yelled to his trapped Pokemon.
"Get off of me you crazy dog!" Treecko yelled slamming himself into Rockruff sending the Pokemon tumbling backwards.
Treecko reared his hands back to fire Energy Ball, and launched it towards Rockruff. However, just at the last second, the puppy Pokemon quickly dashed to the side, and darted towards Treecko again.
"Wow, that guy really is fast." Litten said from besides him.
Dom thought of a way to end the battle. Treecko was dodging quick attack, and suddenly an idea dawned on him. He couldn't keep up with Rockruff in terms of speed, but maybe he could trip him up.
"Treecko! Use Mega Drain!" Dom yelled throwing his arm out.
"Why would I-. OH, I see!" The gecko Pokemon yelled slamming his hand into the ground.
Rockruff who was circling for another pass, was tripped up by a root growing from the ground and grabbing his leg! The puppy Pokémon's energy was sapped and transferred over to Treecko.
"Now finish it with Energy Ball!" Dom ordered quickly.
"You battled well, but this one's over!" Treecko yelled jumping and firing an Energy Ball that hit Rockruff sending him flying back.
Rockruff hit the ground and tumbled. Dom, Treecko and Litten ran over to the puppy Pokemon right away and knelt down next to him. Dom quickly pulled off his bag and reached in and produced an Oran Berry. Rockruff slowly got up to his feet and shook his body.
"WOAH! You guys are seriously strong!" The rock-type said admiringly.
Dom chuckled and held out the Oran Berry for the puppy Pokemon, who happily ate it and licked its lips. His tail started wagging and he jumped up again.
"That was some seriously awesome battling! You gotta show me some moves!" Rockruff said looking at Dom excitedly.
Dom chuckled and nodded his head. "You bet I will! So, what do you say Rockruff? You wanna join the team?" He said gesturing towards Litten and Treecko.
"I was pretty nervous at first, but Dom's a really good trainer! He'll make us really strong!" Litten said with a smile.
"He's right! You join on with us, you'll get a lot stronger… not stronger then me but a lot stronger!" Treecko said with his arms crossed.
Dom rolled his eyes and pulled out an empty pokeball from his pocket. He held it out to the puppy Pokemon. "So? Ready to join the team?" He asked with a smile.
"Join the team of a trainer who's super strong, AND can understand what I'm saying!? HA who would say no to that! Let's do it!" He said excitedly before knocking his head into the center of the pokeball.
Dom smiled as the pokeball did its traditional one shake, two shakes, three shakes, and ended with a satisfying ding. Dom smiled and showed the pokeball to Litten and Treecko.
"Alright! We got a new family member guys!" He said excitedly.
Treecko jumped up. "Wahoo! This is so exciting! This must be just how dad felt on his first journey!" He said excitedly.
Dom chuckled and put Rockruff's pokeball on his belt so the rock-type could rest. "You bet, and it's still just as excited now. Come on, let's get going to the Professor's lab!" He said excitedly.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Lillie was right, Dom saw the large Pokemon lab right on the beach as soon as he and Treecko finished making their way through the tall grass. Also, he noticed Lillie standing out front. She smiled when she saw him and walked over.
"Hey Dom, how did your training go?" She asked him with a smile.
Dom smiled. "It was great! I even caught another Pokemon, a Rockruff!" He said pulling out to rock-types pokeball.
"You should've seen it Lillie, I was completely and totally amazing." Treecko said standing up proudly on Dom's shoulder.
Lillie giggled and rubbed Treecko's ear. "Haha good to see you too Treecko."
Dom heard Treecko sigh, and he managed a laugh and looked back at Lillie. "So, is the Professor ready to see us?" He asked.
She nodded her head. "Yeah, he should be. Let's head ins-."
"OH YEAH COME ON ROCKRUFF! MY BODY IS READY OH YEAH!" Dom heard screamed from the lab followed by a loud crash.
Dom physically felt like he jumped five feet into the air and turned around. Treecko was so surprised he fell backwards off Dom's shoulder into the sand. Dom looked at Lillie wide-eyed, and to his surprise the green-eyed girl simply sighed and shook her head.
"I hope he doesn't put another hole in the wall…" She muttered.
"What the hell was that!?" Dom asked, recovering from his mini heart-attack.
"Good Arceus above what the heck!" Treecko cursed slowly climbing back up to his shoulder.
Lillie sighed again and looked at him. "Well the Professor has a very… unique way of studying Pokemon moves. Let's just say I've become his carpenter for the last few months."
Dom let out a laugh, gaining him a blushing smile from the blonde-haired girl. She gestured for him to follow her. "Come on, we should probably get in there before he breaks something major." She said as the two walked up the steps.
Dom entered the lab and it was unlike any of the Pokemon labs he had been to before. The first thing he noticed was the large aquarium in the room, containing all sorts of water Pokemon like Corsola, Horsea, and other water types that Dom didn't recognize. He saw a kitchen and dining room table, with a ladder leading up to a loft, along with a living room and TV. It reminded Dom of Professor Sycamore's lab doubling as a house and lab.
However, the main entertainment was in the center of the room, where Professor Kukui was now standing across from a Rockruff.
"Oh yeah! Come on Rockruff, use tackle!" He ordered eagerly bracing himself.
"How long are we going to keep this up?" The rock-type muttered before tackling into the professor's chest sending the Alolan Professor sprawling back.
"Kukui!" Dom yelled worriedly, but Lillie but an arm out in-front of him.
"No, just leave it. Trust me he's had worse." She said, as if this was a normal occurrence.
Kukui, who had slammed into a kitchen chair hopped up and smiled as if he wasn't affected by the attack at all. He wiped some sweat off his forehead and smiled even wider.
"Wow, you're getting stronger by the day Rockruff! I think we're good for today, tomorrow we'll work on Rock Throw!" He said excitedly.
"Thank Arceus…" The puppy Pokemon said before walking to curl up on the couch.
Dom looked at Treecko who had the same stunned look on his face. "He's… a very strange human." Treecko muttered.
Dom managed to stifle a laugh as Kukui saw the two of them. "Ah! Dom, glad to see Lillie got you here okay!" He said walking over to them.
Dom nodded his head. "All good yeah! Like I said she deserves a raise." He said looking at the blonde.
Lillie went slightly red, when Kukui laughed. "Haha you bet she does! So, are you ready to officially begin your Island Trials!?" He said sounding as excited as Dom.
The blue-eyed trainer laughed and nodded along with him. "You bet I am! I even caught a Rockruff on the way here, damn thing ran me over, it was crazy fast." He told the Professor.
Kukui's eyes lit up. "Oh, THAT Rockruff! He comes by the lab all the time, I always try to race him, but I'm usually out of breath by the time I'm halfway down the beach." He said rubbing the back of his head.
Somehow Dom wasn't surprised. Before he could say anything else he heard the door swing open again and saw Hau rush in. The boy was wearing the same smile he always seemed to be wearing and ran up beside the three of them.
"Woah! Sorry I'm late Professor! Hey Dom, hey Lillie!" He said with a smile.
Dom smiled and held out a hand. "It's really good to see you again Hau." He said.
Hau looked at Dom's hand in amazement and shook it so hard Dom almost felt his arm fall off. Treecko instead of helping, started to laugh like crazy as he jumped over to Lillie's shoulder. After he was finally done Hau looked star-struck.
"I can't believe I'm starting my Island Trial with DOMINIC HARPER! This is the greatest day ever! OH, Dom I almost forgot!" He said pulling off his backpack.
Treecko was still rolling in laughter on Lillie's shoulder, while the blonde and Professor Kukui were laughing slightly at his discomfort. Hau pulled out a program that said "Kalos League 2017" over the top of it. On the front cover was Diantha the Kalos Champion, dominating most of the cover. Along the bottom you could see the faces of top contenders like himself, Calem, Serena, Tierno and Trevor. Hau flipped through a few pages until he finally stopped and showed everyone the page.
Dom rubbed his head embarrassed when he saw the page said 'Trainer Profile' along with his name. The big picture that dominated the page was of himself holding up his mega evolution bracelet, with Sceptile on his right in his Mega Evolved form, and Greninja on his left in their special battle bond form. Along the right it had six small icons that had each of Dom's team members from Kalos, Sceptile, Greninja, Pyroar, Flygon, Gardevoir and Lucario.
"The Kalos League last year is finally what made me want to get my own Pokemon and go on a journey! It was so epic! Listen to this!" He said before reading the text underneath Dom's picture.
"Dominic Harper, aged 16. Resident of Vaniville Town. Dominic is one of the three 'Heroes of Kalos' along with his friends Calem Copeland and Serena Yvonne, the three defeated Lysander and Team Flare to save Kalos from ultimate destruction! Now he hopes to take the Kalos League by storm and win the title!" He finished reading.
Dom felt himself blush, he was happy he was able to inspire some people. He only wished that he had that same confidence now.
He nervously laughed. "Haha well… I'm glad I could inspire you like that. I did lose in the final though haha." He said.
Hau shook his head. "Doesn't matter! The way you battled, your Pokemon believed in you and their movements and attacks were flawless! You only lost by like half a second to Calem! And now you're going on the Island Challenge at the same time as me!? This is amazing!" He said excitedly.
Dom sighed and smiled as Hau held out a marker. "So… can you please sign it for me?"
Dom felt weird doing so, but he took the marker and signed his name right underneath the picture of himself. He handed it back to Hau with a smile. Hau looked at the signature and dropped the program back in his bag.
"Thanks so much! Now, I just want you to know just because you're my idol doesn't mean that I'm gonna take it easy on you. I'm going to be the first champion of Alola!" He said excitedly.
Dom laughed and shook his head. "Haha I wouldn't want anything less then your best. I think we're ready to go Professor!" He said turning back to Kukui.
The three children all turned back to Professor Kukui, as Treecko leaped back onto Dom's shoulder from Lillie's.
"Oh Dom, you're so awesome, you're so handsome, can I please, please have your autograph?" Treecko mocked, which in response Dom 'accidently' stretched his arms up and knocked him to the ground.
Professor Kukui produced two small amulets from his coat pocket and held them out to the two of them.
"Here we are you two! These are your Island Challenge amulets, as you go to the four Islands and pass the Grand Trials these amulets become full, and a full amulet is required to enter the first Alolan Pokemon League!" He said handing the amulets to the two of them.
Dom carefully took his and clipped it onto the bottom of his bag. He looked up and Professor Kukui cleared his throat before explaining further.
"Now in order to complete your Island Trial, you must defeat all four Kahunas in a battle which is called a Grand Trial. However, before you compete in a Grand Trial you must complete the trials of all the Islands Trial captains! In them you'll face a series of challenges to test your strength, smarts, and most importantly your bond with your Pokemon!" He continued to explained.
Definitely sounds different then gyms. Dom thought to himself before the Professor continued.
"Now at the end of these trials you'll battle an extremely powerful wild Pokemon known as a Totem Pokemon! These Pokemon are more then twice the size of normal Pokemon and has a special boost to its stats! If you defeat the Totem Pokemon, you'll receive a Z-Crystal, corresponding to that Totem Pokemons type!" He finished explaining.
"So, what's a Z-move?" Dom asked the Alolan Professor.
The Professor's head shot up with a smile. "Ah a Z-move my young friend is a super charged, super powered move that Pokemon can use! A z-crystal and a z-ring are the catalyst, if your Pokemon knows a move that corresponds to that type of z-crystal you have, if you have a strong bond and friendship with your Pokemon they can unleash a full force z-move!" He said striking a pose that looked like he was making a Z with his arms.
The process sounded all to familiar to Dom. "So, it's kind of like Mega Evolution?" He asked.
Kukui nodded. "You bet! However, your Pokemon doesn't change form, and you can only use one per battle because of how much energy it takes. Z-moves are really your trump card haha. For example, if you had a grass type z-crystal, you and Treecko would be able to unleash a full force Z-move!" He said patting the grass-types head.
"Ohhhhh I like the sound of that! Haha just wait till Dad see's me using a Z-move, they won't know what hit them!" Treecko said excitedly flexing his small arms.
The group of three shared a laugh and Dom looked back at Kukui. "Sounds like fun! So, let's get started, what's the first trial here?" He asked the Professor.
Kukui smiled. "Ah, you see the Captain has already requested to see the two of you! Now to get started I want you Hau to meet me at the Pokemon School in Hao'oli City! Dom, I think it's safe to say you don't really need to learn the basics at school, right?" He said with a hint of amusement.
He rubbed his head sheepishly. "Haha yeah you could say that. So, what do I do? Where can I meet this Captain?" He asked.
"Okay! So, we have a plan, Hau you meet me over at the Trainer School, the Captain told me to have you meet him at the Marina. Lillie you show Dom the way, and after we're all done we'll meet up at the Trial sight!" He told the three kids.
Lillie nodded and turned to Dom. "Sounds like a plan. Dom are you ready to head out?"
Dom took in a deep breath. He knew that when he left the lab, there was no going back. He looked up at Treecko's excited face. He turned over to see Lillie looking at him with a small smile on her face, green eyes sparkling. His mouth curled into a smile, he realized he wasn't only doing this for himself now. He was doing it for Lillie, to help her save Nebby. He was doing it for Hau to help him recognize his trainer dreams. He was doing it for Treecko to help him become strong, along with the rest of his Pokemon.
He gave Lillie a big smile and nodded. "You bet I am! Let's get going!"
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"You know, I've been talking to Pokemon my whole life, and this Rotom thing still kinda gives me the creeps." Dom muttered to Lillie as Treecko walked in-front of the conversing with the floating pokedex.
Lillie laughed lightly as the duo entered Hao'oli City's shopping district. They walked along gazing at shop windows, passing by clothing shops, accessory stores, bakeries, and everything in-between. Dom suddenly felt his heart ping as he missed Lumiose City and all of its large buildings and stores. Of course, after the celebration of defeating Team Flare, he could barely walk two steps in the city without having someone come up and take a picture of him, it was annoying at times and happy at others. He sighed and looked over to see Lillie had detached herself from the sidewalk and was staring at a shop window.
Dom looked ahead to Treecko who was climbing up a park bench with Rotom.
"Treecko I'll be right back don't go far!" He shouted to the grass-type
"Okay cool me and Rotom are going to go to the bakery!" He yelled back.
"Stay away from the bakery! I swear you'll spend the rest of the trip in a pokeball if you do!" He threatened.
Treecko muttered some very unflattering words and went to gazing in shop windows. Dom saw Lillie standing and still drawn in by dresses in a window. He slowly walked up behind her and smiled.
"See anything you like?" He asked, making the blonde jump up.
Dom chuckled a little and she smacked his arm. "Dom! You scared the crap out of me!" She said while Dom was laughing.
"Haha sorry, I couldn't resist. So, you like this dress then?" He asked gazing up at the window.
On display in the window was a light blue sundress, with white floral patterns on the bottom skirt. It was a really pretty dress, it was something that he thought Serena might have worn, thinking of it made his heart pound a little bit. He would need to make sure he called them later.
He looked over at Lillie who slowly nodded. She turned back to him, "Dom this may be a weird question but… did you pick out your own clothes growing up?" She asked him.
He nodded his head. "Yeah I did haha you didn't?" He asked her.
She shook her head. "No… I… mother always picked them out for me. She said she wanted to make sure I didn't mismatch or not look proper." She said.
Dom titled his head. "So, do you have any color clothes other then white?" He asked her.
She shook her head. "Well, white and some pink matched most of what I had. Mother said if I had to pick out my own clothes I would have worn things that didn't match and I would have looked like a fool." She said looking down.
Dom was growing increasingly worried that Lillie's mother whoever she may be, wasn't exactly the best influence.
He shook his head. "Well the only way you can learn in through trial and error! Arceus, you should have seen some of the crazy outfits I put together. I'd be wearing a pink shirt, yellow shorts, green socks and red shoes, and my mom she'd just smile at me, and say I looked great… I used to be horrible at matching." He said with a smile.
Lillie looked at the outfit he had on. The red sneakers, black socks, beige shorts, along with a red floral shirt and fishing hat. She must have had a hard time believing it. The truth was dating a girl like Serena for so long really helped him 'gain a sense of fashion' as she called it. However, he didn't think it was best to bring that up to Lillie.
"Really? Your outfits are good now, how did you deal with… not being matched what did other people say?" She asked him.
Dom shook his head and smiled at her. "People would laugh yeah, but it didn't matter to me. I didn't care what they thought, I loved what I wore, I was happy with myself so that's all that mattered." He said thinking about how his mother always told him that.
Lillie turned back and looked at the dress again with a sad face. "My mother was always wanted me to be perfect. I had to dress like everyone else, make my bed down perfectly to the smallest detail, when people visited I had to be on my best behavior…"
Dom knew she was taking on a serious tone, but he couldn't stop himself and laughed lightly. Lillie turned to him in confusion. He walked up a little closer and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Listen Lillie, your mother is wrong. Nobody, I mean nobody in this world is perfect. I'm not, you're not, my dad's not, your mother's not. If everyone in the world was perfect it'd be a really boring place. It's the differences between us all that define who we really are. My mom always used to tell me, 'Normal is boring'. You are your own unique person Lillie, never forget that." He said closing his eyes to give her a huge smile.
Lillie stood there for a moment seeming to digest all of his words. He was starting to worry that he had crossed the line or said something to offend her. However, his doubt was erased when she took a step forward, put her arms around her neck and hugged him. He didn't waste the time in wrapping both his arms around her waist and hugging her back. He caught a smell of the perfume she was wearing, it was a lavender smell, and suddenly he felt his face get extremely hot before she pulled back and smiled at him.
"Thank you… nobody has ever told me that before. I… I really needed to hear that so thank you…" She said her face going slightly red as well.
Dom laughed nervously and nodded his head. "Haha it's no problem. I'm glad I could help." He said genuinely.
She smiled and looked down the street. "Come on, we better get to the Marina and meet the Trial Captain." She started to walk away when Dom called out.
"Wait!" He said, causing her to turn around.
"What is it?" She asked.
Dom pointed towards the store window. "We're going to go and buy you that dress." He said with a smile.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Soooo what did you and Lillie need alone time for?" Treecko asked with a suggestive tone.
"Shut up." Dom hissed quiet enough for Lillie not to hear him.
Lillie after coaxing from Dom, ended up buying the dress and he could never remember seeing the girl so happy before. He was happy that he helped put such a smile on someone's face. The two were on there way to the Marina now to meet with the Trial Captain who Lillie said was named Ilima. Dom wanted to get the first trial underway as soon as possible. He knew Treecko and the rest of his Pokemon were itching for a battle. He wanted to test out how he did with Rockruff, and Litten hadn't seen any action since their training session earlier.
When they made their way onto the Marina the one man who stood out like a sore thumb had pink hair. Dom looked over to Lillie who was already smiling and pointing over towards him.
"There he is, that's Captain Ilima! Come on Dom." She said walking ahead of him.
With Treecko on his shoulder Dom made his way over to the Trial Captain who turned and smiled at the two as they approached.
"Ah Lillie it's good to see you again, and you? You must be Dominic Harper, a pleasure." He said kindly holding out his hand.
Dom shook his hand with a smile. "Nice to meet you, you must be Ilima right? Well like you said I'm Dom and this little guy is Treecko." He said gesturing to the gecko Pokemon.
"Charmed I'm sure." Treecko said bowing, causing Dom to roll his eyes.
Ilima nodded. "Yes, I am Captain Ilima, Trial Captain for the only trial here on Melemele Island, I represent the Normal-type trial. I must say it will be fascinating to watch your progress my friend, your battles in the Kalos League last year were inspiring." He complimented.
Dom rubbed his head sheepishly. "Ha, thanks. So, you watched them?" He asked the older man.
"Not only watched I competed! I was eliminated in the round of 16 however." He said embarrassed.
Dom nodded in understanding. "That's nothing to be ashamed of, the field was really tough. So, you're the only trial of Melemele? I only need to beat your trial to face Hala then right?" He asked the man.
Ilima nodded. "Yes. You see however, my trial as well as the others are designed to test your smarts, fortitude and bond between you and your Pokemon. It's quite different from the gym challenges." He explained.
Dom smiled. "Good I loved gyms but it'll be nice to have something refreshing. So, where's the trial at?" He asked the man.
"At a place called Verdant Cavern, it's just north passed route 2, I'm sure miss Lillie will have no problem helping you get there." He said turning to Lillie.
Lillie nodded with determination. "You bet I can. It shouldn't take that long at all!" She said happily.
Before Dom could say anything else he heard loud punk music playing behind him. He turned and running up towards the both of them. They were wearing black sagging jeans, and cut-offs with black and white skull facemasks. They seemed to be around Dom's age maybe a few years older, the two ran up and stood in-front of the three of them.
"Yo, Yo, Yo! Team Skullz in the houseee!" Grunt A said loudly, crossing his arms.
"Here to bring the mad pain yo!" Grunt B said crossing his arms in a similar way.
Dom, Lillie and Ilima all rolled their eyes and turned back to each other.
"Like I was about to say, it's getting kind of late, I don't wanna do the Trial at night, is there a Pokemon center or a motel nearby?" he asked Ilima.
The pink-haired Captain nodded. "Oh yes, there's a Pokemon center right near the entrance with a Motel next to it. The Pokemon center has a nice café you can get dinner at." He told them.
"Oh, good cause I'm starv-."
"Yo! Cap'n you think you three can ignore us yo!?" Grunt A said angrily stamping his foot.
"These guys are really annoying…" Treecko muttered on his shoulder as they all turned back to the grunts again.
"Yeah! Team Skull doesn't like being ignored!" Grunt B said angrily.
Dom sighed. Here we go, another group of crazies. He thought to himself.
"At least Team Flare had better looking uniforms." Treecko muttered lazily.
"Team Skull? Wow, such a creative name. Ilima who are these guys?" He asked the Trial Captain.
Ilima yawned. Dom looked and the sun was starting to lower.
"A group calling themselves Team Skull, a mere nuisance really. They go around demanding peoples Pokemon." He explained to the brown-haired trainer.
Dom nodded in understanding. "Wow really original. At least Team Flare and Team Magma had a bigger goal. You guys are just a bunch of lousy crooks, but I'll bite, what do you want from us?" He said stepping in-front of Lillie and Ilima.
"OH, OH, OH are we going to have an evil team battle!? Awwwww YES this is so exciting!" Treecko said excitedly on his shoulder.
Dom shot him a look and suddenly Treecko leaped down next to him his tiny arms folded, trying to emulate his trainer.
"What we want is simple! Hand over all the Pokemon you have and nobody gets hurt!" Grunt A said holding out a pokeball.
"Yeah! Hand over your Pokemon and we won't have to beat you down!" Grunt B said holding out another ball.
Dom sighed in annoyance. He wanted to hurl insults and walk away not having to worry. However, in the back of his head he knew he should be worried about the two of them, and take them seriously. Team Flare and Team Magma started out similarly to this, as petty criminals stealing some stuff, but then they had both ended up almost destroying an entire region. These two had to be low leveled grunts, he knew that, but it didn't mean he should take the team lightly.
He sighed in annoyance. "Okay listen you two. I'll give you two options. 1.) Leave us alone, go home and rethink your life decisions, or 2.) Stay here and get beat, what's it going to be?" He asked while Treecko stood in-front of him trying to seem intimidating.
Dom's answer only seemed to anger the grunts. "Oh yeah! We'll see who get a beat down! Let's show them not to mess with Team Skull bro!" Grunt A said tossing out a pokeball with an oddly colored Grimer.
"Yeah bro! You're in for a world of hurt kid!" Grunt B said tossing out a Zubat.
Dom sighed and Ilima stepped up next to him. "Dom I'll help you take down these thugs, I'll take the one with the Grimer while you handle the Zubat." He said tossing out a Smeargle.
Dom nodded and turned back to Lillie. "You hang tight Lillie this won't take long." He said confidently.
"Your damn right it won't!" Treecko said, bouncing on his toes with anticipation.
Lillie nodded and took a step behind him. "Right, you can-."
"Pew!" The two of them heard looking down.
Dom saw Nebby happily floating at his feet, looking up at him.
"Nebby!" Lillie said worriedly.
Dom laughed a little and picked him. "Haha I don't think a battle is the best place for you right now buddy."
"Pew!" He said in protest.
Dom still felt odd not being able to understand the little clouds 'Pews'. He was about to hand him back over to Lillie when one of the Grunts spoke up.
"Yo bro! Look at that Pokemon I ain't never seen that one before!" Grunt A said excitedly.
Grunt B's eyes widened. "You're right yo! After we deal with these two we're gonna have to swipe it! Big sis and the boss would go nuts if we brought them a rare Pokemon like that!" He said.
"NO!" Lillie yelled worriedly.
Grunt A laughed. "Haha what's the little girl going do to stop us yo!? Huh bro!?" He said turning to Grunt B.
"Hahaha, we'll just have to take it from her by force!" Grunt B said.
That was when something in Dom finally snapped. His blue eyes narrowed at the Grunt who spoke, and Treecko seemed to be the first to notice the new look in his trainer's face.
"Ohhhhh boy, he should not have said that. That look is not good." The grass-type said.
Dom calmly handed Nebby back over to Lillie, who quickly helped the cloud back into her bag. She looked at Dom's face and saw a smile for a moment, before he turned back to the Grunts, with pure malice in his eyes.
"You know… to get through her you'll have to get through me. And that ain't gonna happen! Treecko let's do this!" Dom yelled out.
"Alright Let's get started!" He said jumping out in-front of the Zubat.
"NEIN! I WILL SUCK THE ENERGY FROM YOUR BODY!" The Zubat yelled across to Treecko.
Dom adjusted his hat and looked over across. "Okay! Let's do this!"
Battle Song- Courtesy Call, Thousand Foot Krutch.
"Treecko Bullet Seed!" Dom yelled out.
Treecko responded right away and jumped up, launching Bullet Seed towards the flying bat Pokemon.
"Dodge and use Wing Attack!" Grunt B ordered.
"Dodge it and grab on!" Dom countered.
"You're in for it bub!" Treecko yelled out, waiting for the attack.
Zubat dodged the Bullet Seed and spun down towards Treecko with its wing glowing, ready for a Wing Attack. Right the attack could hit him, Treecko jumped and flipped over the wing, grabbed Zubat's tail, holding on for dear life.
"NEIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Zubat yelled trying his best to shake Treecko off him.
"Treecko climb on top and pound it into the ground!" Dom ordered as soon as he saw Treecko had a grip.
Treecko used his arms and pulled himself onto Zubat's back, and smirked. His fist glowed and he jumped up, before slamming his pound into the bat Pokemon sending him flying back down towards the ground. Zubat slammed hard into the ground and Dom saw Grunt B's eyes widen.
"NO! Zubat hurry and get up!" He yelled out to his Pokemon.
"No, you don't! Treecko come down and use Mega Drain!" He yelled to the Hoenn Pokemon.
"On it!" The grass-type yelled slamming his hand into the ground.
Vines rose up from the ground and grabbed Zubat, zapping the green energy from the bat Pokemon and sending it over to Treecko. Treecko jumped back over to Dom and stood in-front of him with his arms crossed, and a smirk on his face. Zubat was in-front of its trainer its eyes in swirls.
"Nein… my back." It said, before Grunt B sucked it back into its pokeball.
He growled with frustration. "Grrrr! Alright homie no more holding back! Let's go Salandit!" He yelled tossing out another pokeball.
A black lizard like Pokemon appeared on the field. Dom could tell it was a poison-type off the bat so he called out to Treecko.
"Treecko come back for now!" He ordered.
"Aw come on! I'm all hyped up, I can take this guy!" He said pointing to Salandit.
"I'm a woman you imbosillleeeeee!" The Pokemon hissed at Treecko.
Treecko's eyes widened and he turned to Dom. "On second thought… maybe I could use a breather." He said running back up to Dom's shoulder.
Dom nodded and grabbed a pokeball. "Okay! Time for our first battle, lets go Rockruff!" He said tossing the pokeball out.
Rockruff bounced out of the pokeball barely able to keep on his toes. "Finally! Man, it was so cramped in there! I'm so ready for a fight, I'm going to run circles around this chick, I'm gonna go so fast! Oh man I'm so ready, I'm so ready let's go!" The puppy Pokemon said running around in circles excitedly.
"Focus Rockruff!" Dom yelled out causing the rock-type to stop and get into a battle-ready stance.
"Right! Sorry let's get going!" He said in a darker voice.
Dom nodded, and looked out at Grunt B who decided to start this battle.
"Alright Salandit venoshock!" He ordered.
Salandit sent a large blast of poison towards Rockruff.
"Dodge that and go in for bite!" Dom ordered out.
"To slow!" Rockruff cried easily dodging the attack and dashing towards Salandit.
Salandit was too slow and Rockruff latched onto the salamander-pokemon and it cried out in pain. It was a good hit, but Grunt B must have been better prepared then Dom thought.
"Now, Salandit use Flame Burst while he's close!" He ordered.
"Rockruff move!" Dom quickly ordered.
Rockruff however was too slow, and the Flame Burst hit the rock-type and sent him skidding back towards Dom with some scorch marks on him. He looked slightly hurt, but still ready for battle.
"Ohhhhh man she's gonna get it now!" Rockruff said in an angry tone.
"Kick her butt Rockruff! Show her how fast you are you crazy dog!" Treecko cheered from his shoulder.
"Quick Attack!" Dom yelled out to the puppy Pokemon.
Rockruff bared his teeth and dashed towards Salandit so fast Dom had a hard time keeping up.
"Salandit venoshock again!" Grunt B ordered.
"Rockruff jump up and use Rock Throw!" Dom ordered to the speeding rock-type.
Rock ruff just before he hit Salandit jumped up high in the air and its color of rocks glowed.
"You're going to get it now!" The puppy Pokemon said angrily as it sent a cascade of rocks down towards Salandit.
The salamander Pokemon was smashed by all of the rocks, causing the small battlefield to go up in dust as Rockruff landed down in-front of Dom, his teeth still baring. When the smoke cleared Salandit was smashed into the ground its eyes in swirls.
Grunt B's eyes widened and he angrily pulled out a pokeball. "GRRRR! Return Salandit!" He said, returning the salamander to its ball.
Dom stood there with a smirk on his face as he thanked Rockruff and returned him. Treecko was going nuts on his shoulder.
"HAHAHA OH YEAH! Forces of Evil 0, Dom and Treecko 1! How's it feel you big fat-." He started before being cut off by a glare from Dom.
On the other side Ilima had seemed to make quick work of Grunt A in a similarly dominating fashion to Dom. The two Grunts stood there, eyes widened in complete shock.
"Wh… whoa bro these guys are strong!" Grunt A said fearfully.
"Yea… yeah I don't think we should mess with these guy, we'll get out big sis on it!" Grunt B threatened.
"Yeah! Just you wait till our big sister hears about this!" Grunt A said.
"Then you'll be sorry!" Grunt B said, as the two ran away in fear.
Dom sighed and turned around to Lillie. "Are you alright?" He asked her.
She slowly nodded her head. "Th…thank you so much Dom. I thought they were going to try and take Nebby away. I… I can't let that happen!" She said determined.
Dom smiled and shook his head. "And it won't happen. I promised I'd help you protect him, so that's what I'm gonna do!" He said with a smile.
"They gotta get past me first!" Treecko said pounding his fists.
Lillie giggled and smiled, and Ilima came up to the two of them. "That was some very impressive battling Dom. I look forward to seeing you take on my trial." He told them.
Dom nodded. "And I can't wait to take it on! Say Ilima, have Team Skull been a huge problem lately?" He asked suddenly.
Ilima shook his head. "Not really. A few petty crimes here and there, nothing the police haven't been able to handle." He explained.
Dom nodded in understanding. "Good, but I suggest that you try and crack down a little harder. Who knows what could happen with them." He told the man.
"What do you mean Dom?" Lillie asked him.
Dom sighed. "Let's just say I've been in a situation with people like them before. Better to stomp it out now before it gets worse."
