ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
The flight was a long and painfully ride.
Long obviously being with Alola on the other side of globe.
And painfully as Ash was still taking in what had just happened over the last 24 hours.
Friendships that he had possessed for 5 years with his Pokemon and the likes of Misty and Brock, gone just like that.
Then again, Ash thought about a few things they had said.
If he had evolved more of his Pokemon, he could have a Garchomp, a Typhlosion, a Scrafty as well!
If he had of brought some of his old Pokemon in to the league final, like Charizard or Sceptile, he would have swept the floor with Alain.
Speaking of those two, plus Heracross and Glalie, he could have had 4 potential mega evolutions.
Why didn't he?
Because he believed in his Kalos Pokemon.
He knew they were stronger enough to beat a Garchomp, a Typhlosion! They could hands down sweep an Emboar.
Charizard and Sceptile had their time to shine in their regions. But Ash's Kalos team was the only team were he didn't have a single weak Pokemon. All evolved to the highest possibility!
Except for that yellow piece of trash. Ash was nice to him and not evolved him because he didn't want to be a Raichu.
And about Mega evolution? He had something better. He had Battle-bond Greninja.
"Attention passengers! We at air Kanto hope you are ready to say Alola to Alola! We are 4 hours away from landing in Melemele Island! So sit back and enjoy the last few hours of the flight." The captain spoke over to the intercom.
Ash groaned. He just wanted to sleep in a normal bed for once.
He decided to close his eyes and attempt to get some shut eye.
Her legs couldn't go any faster as she raced down the long white hallway, holding on to the bag she had to dear life in the process.
She could hear the people chasing her.
"Come back! You're just making it worse for yourself!" a male yelled as his voice echoed down the long hallway.
The girl shook her head and continued to run.
In panic, she took the wrong turn leading her to a dead end.
Two adults dressed in white corned the girl as she was backing herself up against the cold wall, fearing for her life.
Suddenly, within the bag, a glowing blue light arose as the room started to shack. The adults covered their eyes due to the brightness of the light.
The girl thought this was her way out.
Until the bag disappeared without her.
She froze in fear as the adults realised what had happened.
They grinned evily as the approached her.
"Oh! You've been a naughty little girl!" one of them said as tears formed on her face.
"NO! NO! Please! HELP!" the girl cried.
She gave off a little yelp, forcing her way upwards, clutching on to the blankets.
She was still tired back checked the small Pokemon bed next to her to check if he was still there. She lifted the blanket off the little bed and saw her Pokemon still there.
She closed her eyes again and tried to go back to sleep.
"GO Voltorb! Gimme your best shot!" a man yelled as the girls eyes widened.
"Torb!"
BOOOOOOM!
The whole building shook as everything that was asleep woke up.
The girl sighed as she knew what was going on.
The professor was testing out some new moves.
Again.
She got up and walked down the ladder to the lower floor to see the damage the Voltorb had done.
The entire back wall was destroyed as the man that called the attack lifted himself out of the rubble.
"WOAH! (Cough) Now that! That was a hit! Shot Voltorb!" the man said to the Voltorb.
"Vol! Voltorb!" the voltorb said happily as it rolled off to the other Pokemon.
"Professor Kukui, it's too early in the morning to test Voltorb's explosion…" the girl moaned.
The man had what seemed a white lab coat that was now black and grey and kind of ripped apart over top of him with no shirt underneath, not that it mattered as he possessed a six pack which won all the ladies. He wore grey shorts as well with grey shoes. He picked up a white hat and glasses and place them on.
"Now Lillie. It's never too early to test out a move! Come on! I've got to teach today and you've got school!" Kukui said to the now identified Lillie.
She had pale skin and light blonde hair with green eyes.
She changed into her normal clothing which consisted of white dress that merged into a sleeveless shirt. She had knee length white shock with white ballerina shoes. She placed an over large hat on top of her head as well.
"Come on! I need to teach some new, sick moves to my class!" Kukui shouted out.
"I just need to grab Nebby!" Lillie responded as she climbed up the ladder to where she was staying. Still somehow, still asleep was a small cloud like Pokemon with pom pom like ears. All over its body was a celestial look with blue and purple colours merging to make a pattern.
"Nebby, wake up!" Lillie said softly to the little Pokemon, poking it lighting.
It slowly turned around.
"Pew?" it responded.
"Oh Nebby. How on earth did you sleep through this morning's events?" Lillie said with a little giggle.
Nebby popped out of its bed, fully awake and cheered happily. It dived into the bag Lillie had as it was ready to go outside.
Lillie raced down the stairs to join the professor outside as he closed the door.
…Not that it really mattered as there was a giant hole on the other side, but better safe than sorry!
Ash set foot outside for the first time in 24 hours after the long, long flight.
The island was a lot bigger than what he thought it was. Hell, this airport might be bigger than viridians.
The first step of departing from his old life was getting rid of the clothes he wore. He didn't have much money so he had to make every dollar count.
There was a nearby clothing store in airport. So he decided to have a look around and boy did he get a bargain.
He walked out of the shop completely new and fresh. He wore a blue and white striped shirt, black shorts with black shoes. He had a black and grey bag with red sidings and last a Black and Grey hat that rested on his head.
He thought he looked rather good if he did say so himself.
Considering he had his so called mother pick all his travel clothes.
"Ugh. Forget about her Ash." He said to himself like a crazy person.
He walked outside and got hit by the fresh Alolan air.
He smiled at the sight of Hau'oil City. It seemed like a peaceful little city.
"Go Rockruff! Use tackle!" a little boy cried out from the park across the road.
This caught Ash's attention as the boy was using a Pokemon he had never seen before.
"Agh! Meowth! Do something!" a little girl panicked to her… blue Meowth?
Ash stood stunned by the sight.
"What? Meowth's are meant to be white? Aren't they?" he questioned everything he knew about the cat Pokemon.
The strange coloured Meowth dodge out of the way as the so called Rockruff as it went crashing in to the ground. The Meowth pulled out it's claws and start to claw away at the poor little dog.
"Rockruff! Lisa stop it!" the little boy cried as tears formed in his eyes as he was losing the battle.
"Meowth stop that now!" the girl commanded as Meowth stopped and went back to her to get a pat on the head.
An older lady approached the too and she seemed to be there mother.
Ash knew nothing about this region and he had always had some sort of guidance on where to go or who to see. Surely the mother might know something.
He walked over there and towards them.
"Um. Excuse me?" Ash said as the three humans turned to him.
"What can I do for you young man?" the mother asked Ash.
"Hey, I'm new to the Alola region, could I just ask some questions?" he politely asked.
"Sure. What do you want to know?"
"Why is that Meowth blue?" Ash questioned, pointing at the cat.
The little girl and her Meowth looked at each other.
"What do you mean? All Meowth's are blue in Alola." The girl answered.
"Where are you from young man?" the mother of the two little children asked.
"Kanto."
"Ah! That explains a lot. You are used to seeing the Kantonian Meowth. You see some Pokemon from other regions, adapt to the Alolan environment and change a little. It can range from appearance to typing's to moves! The Meowth in Kanto is a pure Normal type right? In Alola, you will only find Dark type Meowth's." the mother explained leaving Ash stunned.
So pokemon he had known this entire time had different forms!
"That's really cool! Thanks! Also is there a professor in this region?" Ash complemented and then asked.
"Yeah! Mister Kukui is awesome!" the boy answered for his mother.
"Andrew it's rude to interrupt. Sorry. Professor Kukui would be up at the Pokemon School right now teaching. I think the schools interval is in about 10 minutes?" the mother explained once more, pointing in the direction of the school.
"Thank you for everything!" Ash thanked as he waved goodbye and raced towards the school.
It was about an 11 minute walk and like the mother said, it was interval around this time.
Ash walked into the school and into what seemed like the front office.
"Can I help you young man?" a lady, sitting at a desk asked Ash.
"Hi, is there a professor Kukui here?" he asked.
"Yes, I'll just go grab him for you!" the lady told Ash as she got up and went into another room what seemed like a staff room.
A few moments later, she re-appeared with a man tanned, no shirt wearing a white lab coat though, grey shorts, he had a white hat on and sun glasses as well.
"Hey kid. What can I do for you?" the man said to Ash.
"So your professor Kukui?" Ash asked. If he was, he is surely not like the other professors.
"Kukui's my name, don't stress it out!" Kukui joked as he lifted his hand forward to give Ash a handshake.
Ash returned it and once they let go, he began to speak.
"My name is Ash. I'm here to journey around Alola and I was looking for a starter Pokemon?"
Kukui grinned at the boy.
"Sweeto! Hey Carol? Can you organise a relief teacher for my period 3 class?" Kukui asked the receptionist.
"Yeah that can be arranged."
"Follow me Ash. It's not a long walk to my lab from here!" Kukui told Ash as they went through the door.
"HELP! SOMEONE!" a female screamed, alerting both students around and Ash and Kukui.
Nearly everyone rushed to the entrance of the school to find a school girl in tears on the ground.
4 thugs like figures were down the road, opposite of the girl. Three of them were males and the other was a girl.
Two of the males were wearing black singlets with grey baggy shorts, a bandana covering their mouth and a white beanie on top there head. Under one of the thugs foot was a Pokemon Ash had never seen before.
The female had the small singlet but smaller, wore cut white jeans and like the two males, had the same bandana over there mouth and the same beanie.
The 4th figure and the third male had a leather black jacket on with black jeans. He had a cigarette in his mouth and was leaning against a wall.
"Urk. Team Skull…" Kukui said out loud.
"Team who?" Ash asked.
"Yo! Listen here handsome! We have demands. Give us every Z-crystal you have and the poor little Bounsweet won't get hurt! Well… Maybe a little!" the female demanded.
Kukui looked unfazed. He actually eventually broke into laughter.
"Yo dawg! What's so funny?" one of the males shouted.
"Hahaha! Thanks for showing up guys! I think some of my senior students are dying to test out there new attacks!" Kukui yelled as three kids from the school moved forward.
"Hey ain't taking us seriously?" one of the male grunts said to the female.
"If it's battle you want, it's a battle you'll get!" the female yelled as she threw a pokeball. The two males did the same. Out popped a black and red lizard and two rodent like creature.
"What are those?" Ash asked Kukui.
"The one you see double of is Yungoos, pests around these parts. The other is Salandit. Not normally found here on Melemele Island but more accustomed to Akala Island. Alright students. Your turn!" Kukui commanded.
The three students released there pokemon.
"Go Croagunk!"
"To battle Jangmo-o!"
"Trapinch! I chose you!"
Ash was familiar to the Croagunk and Trapinch, but he had never seen Jangmo-o before. This is what excited him about traveling. It's a shame the reason why he is here is on an all-time low.
"Yungoos! Use tackle on the Croagunk!" one of the male grunts yelled.
The Yungoos charged force with an intense look on its face.
"Remember what you have learnt!" Kukui said to all the students as the crowd was cheering away.
"Croagunk stand your ground and let yourself be hit!" one of the students yelled.
Ash was confused why he would let his pokemon take damage.
The Yungoos charged into the Croagunk wounding him.
"Grab it!" the student commanded Croagunk as it did so. "Revenge!"
With a powerful blast, Croagunk sent the Yungoos flying in the air as it crashed into the ground knocked out.
"Jangmo-o! Use dragon breath!" the other student commanded.
The small dragon unleashed a powerful attack on the other Yungoos, knocking it out on the spot. The owners of the Croagunk and Jangmo-o fist bumped each other and grinned at the owner of the Trapinch.
"Ugh! Must I do everything!? Salandit, use poison gas!" the female grunt yelled as the lizard released a cloud of poison, heading towards the trapinch.
"Trapinch, dig now!" the last student yelled as his Trapinch dug into the earth and out of sight. The cloud eventually disappeared as the target was out of sight.
"Grr. Salandit, keep wary of your surroundings!" the grunt yelled at the lizard.
Right under the Salandit, Trapinch smashed into the lizard's underbelly and with a 4X weakness to ground, the Salandit landed worse than the Yungoos.
"Excellent students! Very well executed attacks!" Kukui congratulated
"Hump. You grunts can't do anything right now can you? Let the Bounsweet go and I'll deal with this!" the fourth figure said to the grunts as they stepped aside.
Kukui quickly changed his expression to a more worried one.
"Marcelo. So you're hanging around Team Skull now huh?" Kukui said out loud.
Marcelo just closed his eyes and tossed out a Pokeball.
Out of it was a Raticate but not no ordinary Raticate. This was fatter and instead of a brown coat of fur, it had a black coat.
"Alolan Raticate?" Ash said to himself as Kukui continued to stare at this Marcelo figure.
"You know Kukui. To be the only EVER person to be expelled from the trainers school, it really hurt. 6 years ago now huh?" Marcelo said as his Raticate growled intensively.
"We've got this Professor!" one of the students said.
"No. Stand down!" Kukui shouted. The students didn't even argue.
"Aww? Not going to fight me Kukui?" Marcelo taunted.
"Sorry I'm late for the party team!" an unknown voice called out.
The crowd moved out of the way to make a path.
The boy had curvy ear length pink hair. He wore a white shirt with a white tie and over top was a brown woolen vest. To match his white shirt, he wore white ankle length pants and plain white sneakers.
"It's Ilima!" a girl yelled out.
"Ilima you got this!" another kid yelled.
Lillie, in the crowd was watching the whole thing.
"Greetings everyone! Ilima here." Ilima said waving. He turned to Marcelo. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? Pleasure to see you again Marcelo!" Ilima said to the man.
"What are you doing here you pink haired gay freak!" Marcelo rudely yelled at Ilima, who just stood there confidently.
"Marcelo. For your information, I'm in a very lovely relationship with a very beautiful girl. Would you like to meet her some time? As for the pink hair, I think it looks rather good!" Ilima responded. "If it's a battle you want, then please! Entertain me!"
Ilima tossed out an ultra-ball with what looked like a bigger Yungoos that stood up on its two back feet and had its front legs behind his back.
"Gumshoos VS Raticate huh? Brings back the memories doesn't it!" Ilima continued.
"Professor? Who is that guy?" Ash asked.
"That's Ilima. Arguable, one of the best students to ever graduate from the school. He is seen as a hero among the eyes of the younger students!" Kukui told Ash just as the battle started.
"Raticate! Use Super fang!" Marcelo commanded.
The rat jumped into the air and aimed at the Gumshoos. Ilima stood there completely calm.
"Gumshoos. Please use sand attack and aim into its mouth." Ilima said to his Pokemon.
The Gumshoos kicked up a bunch of sand and aimed it directly into the Raticate's mouth. It fell to the ground chocking on the sand, coughing very heavily.
"Take down."
Gumshoos charged at the Raticate and slammed into it, sending over to the other side right by its trainer.
"Well Marcelo, it's been a nice catch up and all and I really wish to talk later on! But I have places to be and things to do that don't involve you! So allow me to finish this!" Ilima yelled as the strange bracelet on his wrist glowed.
Ash noticed this and so did the crowd which began to cheer.
"Go Ilima!"
"Finish this reject off!"
Ilima got his fists into a ball and places his arms up like he was trying to show off his muscles. He moved his left arm to the bottom and the right one above it to form a square like shape. He began to obtain a white aura that eventually fused with Gumshoos.
Ash looked stunned.
"Gumshoos! Finish this with Breakneck Blitz!" Ilima yelled the command.
The Gumshoos at a rapid pace, charged over to the Raticate and at full force, sent it flying into a concrete wall, knocking it out completely.
Ash looked stunned. He had never seen anything like that before.
The grunts ran off already as Marcelo returned the Raticate to its pokeball. Marcelo looked back at Ilima and gave him the middle finger before dashing off himself.
Ilima just waved happily at him as the crowd cheered his name.
"Alright! Alright! Yeah go Ilima and all. But class is about to start in 2 minutes everyone! Back into school you go!" Kukui called out as the flock of students went back inside the school grounds, leaving Ash, Kukui and Ilima.
"Ah! Professor Kukui. Who might this be? Not a student of the school?" Ilima asked Kukui.
"His name is Ash. That's all I know to be honest? He just came to see if he could grab his first ever Pokemon!" Kukui told Ilima.
Ash winced at what he said as it brought back the painful memories of that very first day with Pikachu. At least the whole event with Team skull took his mind off the whole issue.
"Actually, it's not my first Pokemon ever. Let's say I have been to a few regions." Ash confessed.
"Oh so you're not native to Alola. Thought so, you could tell by the ascent!" Ilima told Ash. "Then where have you been?"
"Kanto, The orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and most recently Kalos!" Ash listed.
Both Kukui's and Ilima's jaws dropped at the long list of regions that the boy had visited. They both started to laugh.
"Hahaha! Then welcome to Alola Ash! Sorry was just kind of surprised! That's all!" Ilima confessed.
Ash laughed as well, but in reality it was a fake laugh. He had to tell Kukui what happened eventually otherwise he would probably find out for himself.
"Well then! Shall we go get you a starter Ash?" Kukui suggested.
"Do you mind if I tag along? I have some free time and I would love to see the Pokemon at the lab!" Ilima asked.
Kukui nodded at the pink haired boy as the trio started to move.
Ash had to break the ice on a question that was deeply bugging him.
"So Ilima. That move you did before, what was it?" Ash asked the former student.
Ilima smiled.
"I'd figured you would ask. That Ash was a Z-move!" Ilima explained.
"Z-move?" Ash said confused. In his years of watching Pokemon leagues to competing and battling as a trainer himself, he had never once heard of Z-moves.
"That whole thing about me studying moves right? I like seeing casual moves here and there, but my main research is about Z-moves." Kukui explained.
"Let's say you are in a pickle or you just want overkill. 18 different Z-crystal corresponding to the 18 types known. As long as a Pokemon knows a move that matches the Crystal, you do a special little dance and then boom! You Pokemon does the rest!" Ilima explained. "Breakneck Blitz is the normal Z-move."
"We are here!" Kukui yelled pointing down to a shack on the beach.
Ash looked stunned at the sight of a 'lab'?
"Now Ash. I'll give you a quick brief. You could have Rowlet the grass/flying type Pokemon. Litten the fire type Pokemon, or lastly Popplio the water type Pokemon!" Kukui explained once again to the foreigner.
"I will have to see them myself first!" Ash told him as Kukui undid the lock on the door. To Ash's surprise it actually had a lock.
"AH! HOME SWEET HOME!" Kukui yelled as he walked in with his eyes closed. Ash and Ilima stared at the sight.
"Uh, Professor?" Ash spoke up.
Kukui opened his eyes and forgot completely about the hole he and Voltorb made.
"Oh! Early morning training!" Kukui joked.
"PROFESSOR! It's a disaster!" an aide yelled from another room.
"What is wrong frank?" Kukui asked.
"Both Rowlet and Popplio are missing!" Frank said. "They escaped through the hole you made this morning!"
Ash freaked about the missing Pokemon.
"We have to find them!
Kukui and Ilima stayed calm.
"Ash, it's ok! This has happened before!" Kukui confessed. "You see, I believe that when it comes to starter Pokemon, it's better for the trainer to catch them in a Pokeball. Bond building. So every starter here is technically wild in way. I know where Popplio is. She always goes to the same place, follow me!"
Kukui took them outside and onto the shore.
"OH POPPLIO!" Kukui called out to the ocean.
A small blue seal like creature jumped out of the water a few times, during flips here and there. Once closer, it had a pink ball nose and a white frill around its neck.
"Good girl!"
"Popli!" Popplio cried at the professor.
Kukui turned to Ash.
"Ash. I'll let you borrow a Pokemon if you can go search for Rowlet. Where it should be is inhabited by a lot of grass types. So I'll lend you Litten for the job." Kukui said to the kanto native.
At the sound of its name, a small black and red cat walked out of the shack.
"Litt!" the cat called out.
"On queue as all ways! Litten? Help Ash out and find Rowlet." Kukui explained to the cat, who nodded its head.
"Ash here is some Pokeballs in case you see something along the way. Good luck. Rowlet is a bit of a picky one…" Kukui confessed.
"I'll bring Rowlet back don't worry!" Ash said running off with Litten by his side.
Ilima walked next to Kukui as Ash ran off in the direction given.
"So did you even tell him what to look for?" Ilima asked as the Professor stopped waving.
"Opps."
The bell had finally rung after a long day at school. Lillie walked out and behind a dumpster. She didn't like there due to the filth and stench but it was the only safe place to do what she was about to do.
Unzipping her bag, Cosmog or Nebby by its name jumped out cried out happily.
"Pew! Pew!"
"Nebby quieten down please!" Lillie pleaded.
"Pew! PEW!" Nebby cried pointing in the direction of the ruins of conflict.
"You want to try and see the guardian again? Don't you?" Lillie asked.
"PEW!" Nebby cried, nodding its body in a signal for yes.
"Alright. In the bag and let's go." Lillie said to the little cloud Pokemon.
Authors Note: Wow. Once chapter in and all this support already? Thank you all very much, it means a lot :3
Now, seeming the main characters don't have official names (unless I'm stupid and missed them), This gives it a little away that they will feature. At least the female as Ash is in the males clothes. So I've set up a poll to vote on the female main characters name for the story.
I'll answer some questions that were left. If I do, they'll be here as having them at the start often annoys me lol.
Will Celebi return? Maybe make a cameo along with some others. Ash Will not be catching any legends as of right now.
Will Ash forgive them? Who knows.
Will Ash get all three Starters? Find out next Chapter when he gets his starter.
Can I have an OC? I will allow OC LATER in the story. Send them in anyways. Might look for a few Skull and Aether ones. Ones for later in the league. And all I ask is that if they have Pokemon, No teams like Mewtwo, Arceus, Genesect. Something realistic.
AND THE BIG ONE: Will the Ultra beasts be important: Yes. They are Gen 7 and this is a Gen 7 story. Like every Pokemon par one or two in this Gen, They will feature.
In response to a review left by a guest, I know in reality Charizard, Sceptile, Bulbasaur ect would never betray Ash after what he did for them. Along with many other things and people as well. I respect your opinion, we are all entitled to one. I'm just going with the plot that came to mind and I didn't want to go down the typical route of "Oh we hated you from the start and want you dead." :P
Anywho. Review, suggest or PM me! Spectre out!
