ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 31 - I'm sorry

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/

After the events of the mysterious creature attack on Aether, Ash and Hau departed from the sea base to Ula'Ula Island.

Mallow, Lana and Kiawe took a separate boat to return to Akala island to continue with being trial captains and their everyday lives.

"I'm just glad we are finally out of that place…" Ash confessed to Hau.

"You're just being paranoid Ash. Chill and have a Malasada." Hau told Ash, giving unhelpful feedback.

Ash sighed.

"Hau. That thing… No. That Ultra Beast or whatever they are called, that thing came out of that portal, right? The same thing that wrecked Pallet town came out of the same portal." Ash confessed to Hau.

Hau raised an eyebrow.

"Why didn't you tell Ms. Lusamine?" Hau questioned.

Ash groaned.

"I don't trust them with that kind of info."

Hau just shrugged his shoulders and began to eat his Malasada.

Ash figured he wasn't getting through the dense wall that was Hau. He looked at the schedule and saw they had another two hours before reaching Ula'Ula, so decided to have a little rest before dealing whatever awaited ahead on the new Island.

It took him awhile, but eventually, Ash fell into the world of slumber, hoping to stay in there for as long as possible until he had to wake up.

Hau noticed Ash dose off and decided to leave him alone. He had only just gotten over Lillie kind of and needed some rest before the next trial.

(Two hours later…)

"Ash!" Hau said in Ash's ear as the Kanto born groaned in annoyance from being woken up.

Ash opened his eyes, glaring at Hau but eventually saw that the ship had stopped moving.

"Alright. Let's go kick some ass…" Ash muttered, clicking his back when getting up."

Upon getting out of the ship and on to the dock, Ash noticed the city was very reminiscing of some building from Johto. He looked around and eventually found a sign explaining the name of the city was Malie.

Walking further into the streets, it was lively with adults outside stall and kids running around with their Pokemon.

"Woah, I wonder what a Malasada from Ula'Ula will be like…" Hau muttered to himself. It was at the point an idea sprung into his head.

"HEY! Why don't we have a battle? We haven't had a proper one in a while. Only fun training ones." Hau suggested to Ash.

Ash thought about it. They both had four Pokemon so it was fair game and nobody had to sit out.

"You're on." Ash said with a smirk.

After a bit of searching around, the duo stumbled across a large park known as the Malie garden. To the left-hand side of the park was a public battleground.

"So! 4 V 4. Finally, Pokemon standing wins!" Ash called out as he threw a Pokeball up and down in his hand.

Hau reached for his pocket.

"Sounds good to me! Go Brionne!"

"Salandit! You're up!"

The water starter appeared with grace while Salandit appeared with a smirk.

Hau was confused why Ash was bringing out Salandit with her being weak to water. But knowing him, he some scheme up his sleeve.

"Brionne! Aqua jet!"

"Salandit, smog!"

Brionne covered herself in water and fired right at Salandit, who surrounded herself in a cloud of toxic gas.

Hau gritted his teeth.

"Stop and use bubblebeam!" Hau shouted, realising that with Brionne gets anywhere near the smog, she would succumb to the poison.

Brionne stopped using Aqua jet and used the water to make a powerful bubblebeam. The bubbles pierced right through the smog, but as the cloud faded away, it was to be seen that Salandit was no longer there.

"Dragon rage!"

Appearing from behind Brionne, Salandit released the powerful dragon move with Brionne yelping in pain, with the force pushing her into the ground.

"Tables are turning now! Toxic!" Ash shouted.

Salandit spewed the toxic substance over Brionne as she struggled to move.

Hau had to do something fast.

"Aqua jet!"

Thanks to the water being the source of the movement, Brionne used the attack and slammed right into Salandit, who grunted in pain. Once the aqua jet had fade, Brionne collapsed to the ground yet again in pain thanks to the toxic. Salandit managed to get up, but took serious damage from the aqua jet.

Hau smirked.

"Brionne! Let's have the last laugh! Encore!" Hau shouted as Brionne clapped before eventually passing out.

Hau called her back in.

"You did excellent girl."

Ash muttered to himself. Hau had now forced him into a bumpy road. Either sack off Salandit now she was stuck just using Toxic for a few go's or swap out and have two Pokemon injured going later into the battle.

"Salandit. Stand your ground." Ash told his Pokemon.

Hau grinned.

"Raichu! Come on out!" Hau shouted as the Alolan form appeared, zooming around before giving an aggressive look with a cheeky grin.

Ash knew Salandit would never out speed Raichu, so his best hope was to land a toxic and hope Salandit can take a hit or tow.

Ash also knew Raichu was Hau's strongest Pokemon.

"Raichu! Iron tail!" Hau yelled as Raichu zoomed at Salandit with his tail glowing a dull silver.

"Salandit try to dodge and use toxic!" Ash yelled, knowing that was his best option.

Salandit spewed out the toxic but Raichu dodged as if it was nothing. He jumped off his tail for a split second and slammed it right under the chin of Salandit, who was now on her back.

"Thunderbolt!" Hau yelled.

"CHU!" Raichu yelled as electric type move devoured Salandit.

Once the powerful force of electricity was over, Salandit was out cold completely.

Ash knew it was a bad idea to leave her out, but it was too late now.

"You did well Salandit. Take a break." Ash said as he called in Salandit.

"Raichu, come back for now." Hau called out as Raichu flew over next to Hau. "Jangmo-o! Let's do some damage."

The shiny dragon Pokemon appeared and growled at Ash.

"Torracat! Let's go!"

A kid with his mother passed by and saw the battle going on.

"Woah! Mum can we please go watch? Please! Please!" the kid begged.

His mother sighed.

"Fine, just for a little bit." She said as the kid rushed over to watch.

However, they weren't the only ones as the battle picked up a little crowd.

"Jangmo-o, use dragon rage!" Hau shouted.

"Torracat! Flamethrower!" Ash shouted louder as the two attacks collided.

"Jump through and use fire fang!" Ash called out to the cat.

Torracat did as told and jumped through the smoke created from the dragon rage and flamethrower and latched down on Jangmo-o, burning his body as well.

Hau tightened his fist.

"Headbutt to get yourself free!" Hau shouted.

Jangmo-o slammed the side of his head into Torracat's as the feline let go of the dragon.

"Dragon tail!" Hau yelled.

A violet light appeared around the backside of Jangmo-o as he slammed it again into Torracat's face.

"Grr! Flamethrower point blank!"

"Protect!"

Jangmo-o just got the protect up in time as the flamethrower split into multiple streams of fire.

The shield fell down as Torracat stopped attacking.

Ash smirked.

"Now this is what I'm talking about! Crunch Torracat!" Ash yelled out.

"Screech to push him back!" Hau commanded.

Jangmo-o let out a high pitch screech, stopping Torracat in his tracks as he moaned over the sound.

"Dragon tail!"

"Torracat, wait for it!" Ash told his fire type.

Jangmo-o charged with his tail covered in the violet light about to swing in at Torracat.

"Fire fang and hold!"

Torracat's mouth surrounded itself in fire as he grabbed on to Jangmo-o's extended tail.

"Spin then smash!" Ash shouted.

Torracat began to spin around and around until he used all his strength into slamming Jangmo-o into the ground.

The pure dragon type stumbled out and was panting but was still willing to fight.

"Crunch!"

Torracat pounced on Jangmo-o once again, practically biting his whole body.

Jangmo-o grunted loudly as he glared at Torracat who was biting as hard as he could

"MO-o! he cried as his body began to glow white.

Everyone watching gasped as Jangmo-o shifted forms.

Torracat tried to free himself but he bit too hard down into Jangmo-o.

As he finished evolving, the new Pokemon punched his fist right into Torracat's belly, freeing Torracat but flinging him across the field.

It looked like Jangmo-o but stood on two legs with three pink talons on each foot. The arms had shield like scales on them with the colours of pink and a darker pink. His body was a bright gold colour just like his previous colour when a Jangmo-o. His tail got longer as well. The heart scale on his head was now an oval as his head was now also more reptile like.

"HAK!" Jangmo-o's evolution roared.

"Woah! A Hakamo-o!" a kid called out to his friends.

Rotom appeared and scanned the 'Hakamo-o'.

"Hakamo-o, the scaly Pokemon and the evolved form of Jangmo-o. The scales that cover its body fall off during a battle but quickly grow back stronger and thicker. Thanks to the sharpness of the scales, it can use them to add extra attack while delivering powerful punches. Its name is derived from the famous war dance the Jangmo-o species does to intimidate their opponents before battle, the Haka."

"Yo listen up. That lizard is also has the unique typing of dragon fighting. Fairy moves will sweep it up!" Rotom told Ash.

"Jangmo-o! You evolved!" Hau said excitedly. The larger dragon roared as he clicked his fists.

"Flamethrower Torracat!" Ash yelled as the cat shot the beam of fire out of his mouth.

"Protect!"

Hakamo-o covered himself with his large scales and blocked the fire.

"Charge and use dragon tail!"

Hakamo-o rolled out of the way and charged at Torracat, but used a different move instead. His fist glowed brown as he let a powerful uppercut under Torracat's chin, flinging him upwards.

"Woah! That was sky uppercut!"

Torracat landed with a loud thud and struggled to get back up.

The cat grunted as his eyes pierced open with his whole body be engulfed in flames.

Ash smirked as Hau realised what was going on.

"That's blaze!" Hau muttered.

Torracat roared loudly that sounded a lot more deeper.

Lillie, Vulpix and Kirlia entered the garden for the walk when she heard the roar.

"What was that?" she said to her Pokemon.

"Lia!" Kirlia cried as she pointed over to the large crowd.

As soon as Lillie turned to the direction of the crowd, a ball of fire jumped into the air which appeared to have a Pokemon in it. In front of the flames was a fire like jaw.

"Come on… Let's go have a look…" Lillie muttered as her two Pokemon she had out followed her.

Torracat pounced on to Hakamo-o as the dragon fighting type smacked him off.

"Keep pushing Torracat!"

Torracat got up again and roared louder as he rushed towards Hakamo-o with fire in his mouth.

"Sky uppercut!"

"Fire bite!"

Hakamo-o's fist glowed brown and thrusted it at Torracat who caught the punch in the fire fang as Hakamo-o suffered from the intense heat, leaving him with a serious burn.

Lillie got to the back of the crowd and instantly recognised the two voices.

"Dragon rage!"

"Flamethrower!"

The two unleashed the moves with them colliding fiercely.

Lillie returned her Pokemon and forced her way to the front but behind a few people just to stay out of sight. She was surprised to see that Jangmo-o had evolved to Hakamo-o.

"Fury swipe!" Ash called out as the cat furiously swiped at the dragon, who protected himself with his scales, but even with the hard scales, he was still feeling the attack.

Torracat stopped and jumped back to in front of Ash.

Both Pokemon were panting.

"How hasn't Torracat gone down yet!? We have thrown everything at him…" Hau thought to himself.

"Torracat! Finish this with fire blast!" Ash shouted as the cat roared again with his whole-body bursting into flames as he powered up the powerful fire move.

"Hakamo-o use dragon tail!" Hau yelled.

But Hakamo-o ignored Hau in complete awe. He could see a figure behind Torracat, a much larger figure but had the same feline features. He could tell whatever it was had a giant smirk on its face.

"UNLEASH!"

The fire returned into a ball with the figure Hakamo-o say going inside, for the said ball to a five-point figure zooming at Hakamo-o. The dragon froze as he just watched the move come closer and closer until the move devoured him.

Once the fire faded, Hakamo-o was on the floor out cold.

"Yes! Good job Torracat!" Ash shouted.

But as he said that, Torracat collapsed, exhausted from using so much energy.

Ash snickered.

"Get a good break bud." Ash said as he returned Torracat as did Hau with Hakamo-o.

"Raichu! Back in!"

"CHU!" Raichu growled as he flew in.

"This is going to be dumb but eh. Bewear, go!" Ash shouted as the large bear appeared. Before anything could happen, Bewear ran over and gave Ash a hug, crushing him in the process.

Hau and Raichu sweat dropped.

"Be-Bewear! Cru-crush Raichu! No-not me!" Ash coughed as the bear let go of his trainer.

Again, Lillie was surprised to see that Stufful had evolved to Bewear.

Bewear turned to the electric psychic type, who was smirking thinking he had the advantage thanks to the bear being weak to him.

"We will start! Psychic!" Hau yelled as the mouse glowed purple.

"Protect!" Ash told his Pokemon, who formed the shield as the psychic move surrounded the shield.

"Grr! Use Iron tail!"

Raichu zoomed at Bewear with his tail glowing silver.

"On my command!" Ash muttered as the bear nodded.

Raichu jumped off his tail and flung it Bewear.

"Dodge and use brutal swing!"

The bear moved out of the way just in time and had his arm glowing black as he whacked Raichu in the back.

The mouse fell to the ground as Bewear placed one foot on him.

Hau just gulped.

"Brutal flail!" Ash said calmly as both arms on Bewear glowed black as he combined the dark type move with flail, as he continuously smacked Raichu.

"Thunderbolt!"

But it was already over. After the onslaught of dark moves, Raichu was finished.

Hau jaw dropped as he really underestimated Bewear.

"So, all that training at Aether helped in a way." Ash called out as Hau returned Raichu.

"You tried your best…" Hau muttered to the ball. "Go Eevee!"

The evolution Pokemon appeared and growled at Bewear.

"Bewear, return for now." Ash announced as he returned Bewear and brought out Dartrix.

This was now or never for Hau.

"Shadow ball!" Hau yelled as Eevee fired the ball of ghost energy at the bird.

"Dartrix slice it in half!"

Dartrix flung two quills at the ball as it split in half.

"Leafage!"

"Swift!"

Dartrix fired the leaves at Eevee while Eevee countered with swift.

"Fly and leaf blade!" Ash yelled as the bird flew into the air and dove down with both wings glowing green.

"Bite!"

As Dartrix got closer enough, Eevee bit down on the glowing wing of the bird. They both felt the effects of the others attack.

"Shack him off!" Ash yelled.

Dartrix twirled around and Eevee eventually let go.

"Double team Eevee!"

"VEE! VEE! VEE!" Eevee cried as he made multiple copies of himself as they all landed on the ground.

Dartrix landed in front of Ash, looking at all the clones.

"Swift! All of you!" Hau yelled.

"Shit…" Ash muttered as every copy flung forward the stars, unsure which one was real.

He remembered something he tried before in the past.

"Dartrix! Surround yourself with Razor leaf and leafage!" Ash commanded.

Hau grunted at him, unsure what Ash was up to who had a massive grin on his face.

The grass bird did as told and surrounded himself with the leaf's as the swift attack was nulled out.

"Fling it at them!" Ash shouted as the bird directed the tornado of leaf's at Eevee. The tornado

sucked up all the clones, destroying them until the real Eevee was eventually forced into the

violent grass storm.

Dartrix began to throw quill after quill into the tornado as each cut up the poor Kanto Pokemon.

Ash's Z-ring glowed green as he did the dance for the upcoming Z-move.

"Dartrix! Bloom doom to finish this!" Ash yelled with a grin.

Flowers formed around Dartrix as a ball of green light appeared in front of him as he fired it in to the

air which quickly came down and consumed Eevee, vaporizing the tornado in a heartbeat.

Hau just watched as the beam faded with Eevee unconscious on the floor.

He sighed and returned Eevee as the crowd cheered.

Ash patted Dartrix who soon returned to his pokeball as Ash and Hau shook each other's hand.

"What a fight." Hau muttered, a little disappointed he lost, but it was to Ash.

"Been awhile since I've felt something like that." Ash told him.

Lillie just watched and remembered back to what Acerola had said.

"So you like this guy?" Acerola asked.

Lillie's face felt like it was on fire.

"Wh-what do you mean by like?" she stuttered.

"Like as in you have romantic feelings for this guy?"

Lillie was just stunned, unsure where this was coming from.

"NO! NO! Just friends! Just friends!" Lillie shouted.

Acerola rolled her eyes.

She sucked up her fear and waited for the crowd to disappear before making her move.

Ash and Hau let out everyone, tired and worn out. Hakamo-o and Torracat growled at each other aggressively, ready to go for round 2 before Ash sent Bewear over to stand between the two otherwise he would give them a literal bear hug.

Ash turned was talking to each of the Pokemon until he noticed that everyone, including Hakamo-o, Torracat and Hau were all looking in one direction.

"As-Ash… Look!" Hau muttered.

The Kanto born turned around to have his jaw drop.

Standing there, looking rather uncomfortable and awkward was Lillie.

Everyone just looked at everyone with the silence being broken thanks to a certain space cloud.

"PEW!" Nebby cried excitedly as he flew right in to Ash's face.

"NEBBY! GET BACK IN THE B- "Lillie screamed until she realised Nebby was super excited to see Ash again. She sighed and smiled.

"Lillie? What are you doing here?" Hau asked, confused about the whole situation.

Lillie took a big long breathe of air.

"Ash…"

Ash got up as Nebby went to greet the others.

"Lillie." Ash responded as the blonde ran over and hugged him tightly while tearing up into his shoulder. Ash was a little surprised at first but quickly returned the hug back.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry what I said…" Lillie mumbled.

Ash sighed.

"Lillie. I should have realised that Gladion was your brother… You look so similar…" Ash responded, leaving Lusamine out as now was not the time.

The duo broke out of the hug.

Lillie looked up.

"Everything I said… I didn't mean it! I swear! It was the heat of the moment!" she whaled.

Ash let out a smirk and then noticed the Z-ring on her wrist.

Hau saw it too.

"Is that a!?" Hau blurted out, ruining the moment.

"Well… I be darned…" Ash muttered as he stared at the Z-ring.

Lillie realised that the two males were looking at her new Z-ring that Acerola managed to get.

"Um, I guess that with this… I'm a proper trainer now!" Lillie confessed.

Ash smirked.

"Lillie. You already were a proper trainer beforehand. You have Nebby and Vulpix." Ash told the girl.

She smiled.

"AND!" she announced as she threw a third pokeball which Ash nor Hau recognised. Out of was a Kirlia.

"Lia!" Kirlia cried happily.

"Woah! A Kirlia! It can evolve in to either Gardevoir or Gallade!" Hau told everyone as Kirlia went over to Ash and smiled.

"Hau, Kirlia is a lady. So Gardevoir is the only option. That is if she wants to evolve." Lillie told the Melemele native.

"Lillie. There is something I need you to do if you want to travel with us again…" Ash muttered.

Both Hau and Lillie looked at Ash with a surprised look.

"What?" she blurted out.

"Just meet me at the pokecentre floor 2 deck around 9:00PM tonight. Bring some snacks!" Ash announced to her.

Hours passed by as Lillie did as told and brought a large chocolate cake.

She made it up to where Ash and Hau were staying to find Hau watching TV.

"He is waiting for you." He muttered as he ate a malasada.

Lillie nodded and sighed as she opened the sliding door to find the Kanto born sitting down on a chair looking at the night sky.

"Ash?" Lillie muttered.

Ash turned around.

"You made it. Just take a seat." He told her as Lillie placed the cake down on a little table that split the two.

"What now? What do I have to do?" Lillie asked.

"Just relax and talk."

Lillie's eyes widened as Ash laid back in his chair and looked at the stars.

"When I was young or just had the chance, I would stare up into the night sky, looking at everything possible. It was really soothing." Ash explained.

Lillie did as told and remembered back to her old room with the night sky on it.

"I won't Lillie… What you said hurt." Ash explained as Lillie adjusted in her chair awkwardly. "But it was a good learning point for the both of us."

"How so?"

"We both hurt each other. And here we are."

"I don't understand…" Lillie asked.

"We somehow managed to find each other again even after what happened." Ash confessed.

"Hasn't this happened to you before? With a girl in your past travels?" she asked.

"Serena. Years apart, finds me, wants to suck my dick and then throws me away like I was nothing." Ash explained. "What I mean is after the fight we had… Oh! Look!" Ash started as he pointed in to the sky.

A meteor shower zoomed across the night sky.

"It's beautiful…" Lillie muttered.

"So… From today onwards… We are now 100 percent honest with one another…" Ash explained.

Lillie nodded.

"So you mind I have a piece of that cake?" Ash asked.

Lillie smiled and cut off two slices. She had her plate on her lap as she placed Ash's slice on to his plate.

"Here you go." Lillie told him.

As he went to grab it, the side slipped out of his grip and the chocolaty goodness slid right down Lillie's white dress.

"Shit." Was all Ash said.

"This is my favourite dress!" Lillie complained.

But she realised something…

She was back and her clothes was the least of her worries.

Payback though…

"Lillie, I'm so sorry!" Ash pleaded. He saw Lillie pick her plate as she grabbed her slice and smeared it all over Ash's face, leaving him covered in chocolate.

He sat there stunned.

"There. We are even." Lillie announced as Ash wiped away the chocolate on his eyes.

Ash just chuckled which turned into a laugh with Lillie joining in as they turned back to the meteor shower.

Authors note: So Ash, Lillie and Hau are back together now!

The moments are now coming (as seen in the end)

Last chapter seemed to be a hit and miss so oh well.

A few questions left though.

What the hell ripping off transformers you didnt say you would be using transformers moron.

I mean this whole army arc is based off the transformers scenes which I have stated at least 3 or 4 times before in previous chapters.

Where is the romance? This story is good but you are dragging this out way too much.

Coming very soon.

Will Prof. Oaks cousin, Samson Oak play any role in this fic? This is about the time he is introduced in the games after all.

Yes. Soon as well.

Will Ash have more than 6 pokemon in rotation?

Yes he will. Won't say how many cuz that will ruin it but yes, In Alola, he will have more than 6 with not all of them being based from Alola.

Think that's it as I upload this at 2:11 AM in the morning lmao.

So as always, review, suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
