ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 47 - The start of a new league
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon.
As soon as they got back to the Aether foundation, Ash went and had gotten bandages wrapped around his neck while Lillie had her forehead wrapped up. Guzma also had to receive medical treatment due to the large gash in his head the broken arm. The arm was sorted with it being placed into a cast while his head injury was stitched on up.
Lusamine was placed in a special medical treatment room so she can be observed.
Everyone but Hau and Gladion as they decided to wait for the three to finish up, had already made their way to the hotel to celebrate.
Ash sighed as he walked down the hallway to find Lillie and Guzma already waiting.
What Nihilego said still lingered in his mind and he could also tell by the look of Gladions face that it bothered him as Ash told him early on.
He decided it was best to tell Hau as well instead of leaving him in the dark.
"Took you long enough!" Hau muttered.
"Lillie. Gladion. I think we should tell him." Ash said as Hau gave a confused look.
"Wait? Tell me what?" Hau asked.
Lillie caught on and sighed.
"Floor is yours." Gladion said as Guzma decided to listen in as well, despite being in Ultra-Space at the time.
"This is just the start of what Nihilego called 'the invasion.' Again, like I said to everyone, they are after something here on earth. And by the looks of things, it's a matter of when and where." Ash explained.
"Great… More doom and gloom!" Hau said sarcastically.
"We managed to do something in there." Guzma added on.
"Yeah but with the help of Nebby…" Lillie muttered as she already missed her.
Wicke walked in with Rotom next to her.
"Right. So, from the names that were given, I have scanned through the database and found info on the Ultra-Beasts." Wicke explained. "I've installed the ones I could find thanks to those names."
Rotom's interface changed and displayed Nihilego.
"Nihilego CODENAME Symbiont, the Parasite Pokemon, Ultra Beast. This beast is one of the many that lurk inside the universe known as Ultra-space. Nihilego has the unique typing of Rock Poison. It is said that it doesn't possess emotions or thoughts until it finds a host to inject its toxins into. The toxins bring out both the best and worse in the host and will often result in violence."
"Yeah… That sounds about right…" Guzma blurted out.
Next displayed was UB-02: Absorption.
"Buzzwole CODENAME Absorption, the Swollen Pokemon, Ultra Beast. An Ultra Beast that relies on sheer power and strength. Buzzwole is a bug fighting type. It is unknown if the poses it does in battle are of the beast showing off or some kind of threat. Studies show that it can punch a truck beyond repair in one punch."
The next beast to pop up was Beauty.
"Pheromosa CODENAME Beauty, the Lissome Pokemon, Ultra Beast. This Ultra Beast biggest strengths are its speed, powerful kicks and natural beauty. Despite being bug/fighting It is said the beast can reach speeds that can lap high speed supercars and proceeds to combine this speed with powerful kicks. Due to the natural beauty it possesses, it can make nearly any being regardless of the gender to fall in love with it and do it's every command."
The fourth Ultra Beast to appear on Rotom was the one that attacked Pallet town. Ash gulped as Lillie took his hand to calm him a little.
"Xurkitree CODENAME Lighting, the Glowing Pokemon, Ultra Beast. It is unknown when this Ultra-Beast first arrived on Earth. From studies, the beast is a pure electric type. It can send out shock waves reaching volts of over 1,000,000. From reports, it was witnessed stealing electricity from an old power-plant in the Kanto region. This is the beast that was responsible for the Pallet Town attack."
Ash sighed as Lillie rubbed his back.
"At least we now know what attacked Pallet town." Hau muttered.
"Just like Nihilego said, they are looking for something." Ash claimed as everything was slowly adding up.
"Lusamine told me about that. What happened." Guzma explained as Ash recalled that the former boss of Team Skull somehow knew what happened.
"All we know is that it is still in Kanto. Months ago, we had members go to Pallet town to do some tests. An unfortunate guard got caught up with the situation and… Yeah, you can figure the rest out." Wicke explained as Rotom switched to the next beast.
"Renterba CODENAME Growth, the Overgrown Pokemon, Ultra-Beast. This Ultra-Beast has the typing of grass ground. Though the actual beast doesn't attack itself, it's long and deadly roots that continually grown underground does the job for it. If a root was to be damaged or cut off, a new one will grow overnight. This Ultra-Beast was the one responsible for the Orrean Kalos military base attack."
"Once again, looking for something…" Gladion muttered.
"It placed some sort of natural virus and stole files and deleted files, primarily all the research we had on Ultra-Beasts." Wicke explained.
"Then what was a Kalos military doing with that kind of information?" Lillie questioned.
Wicke sighed.
"I do not know. Lusamine went for a trip one day and came back a week later with a smug look. Of course, Nihilego but even still…" Wicke explained.
Rotom changed to the final Ultra-Beast from the names given.
"Spirvenen CODENAME Fear, the Fear-Ripper Pokemon, Ultra-Beast. We believe that this Ultra-Beast has been on Earth for a very long time. It has the rare typing of Ghost Poison. We believe the typing is due to fact Spirvenen can morph into its victim's worse fear before killing. From studies made, it always attacks with a bite first, due to the poisons inside of it. If it fails to kill its prey, the Ultra-Beast activates the poisons to torment its victim inside their mind, driving them insane to the point of Suicide."
"Right… So, lemme get this clear. An emotionless, mind fucking monster. A giant, buff, egoistic bug. An overly sexualised bug. A bunch of wires. An overgrown weed and some nightmare monster. Accurate?" Ash muttered.
"You should get going and go enjoy yourselves." Wicke insisted to the group.
Ash sighed and led the way as a boat was already waiting for them.
(Grand Hano Resort, Akala Island)
The boat arrived at Akala Island in high speeds as the group made their way to the hotel.
As soon as they walked into the area, a lot of confetti was blown into the air.
"Surprise!" Mallow shouted as she passed Ash some alcohol. "This brings back memories, now doesn't it?" she followed up but with a whispered.
Ash wanted to say something but Kiawe and Zach walked over to talk.
Guzma made his way awkwardly over to Kukui and Molayne.
He felt extremely out of place after everything he had done.
He stopped when he saw a third figure standing with his two childhood friends.
He grunted as soon as he saw her long steel blue hair. She had gotten taller as well as Guzma made a coughing noise.
The three turned around as there was an awkward silence minus the loud music booming in the background.
"Guzma." The female said.
"Kahili." Guzma responded back.
Kukui and Molayne looked at each other with a smirk.
"Urg… H-How are you?" Guzma muttered.
Kahili sighed.
"Tired. Now a professional golfer… I heard you made a few wrong turns." Kahili questioned.
Guzma nodded with the pain to come along.
Kahili laughed slightly.
"What?" Guzma asked confused on why the girl was laughing.
"Look at us now. Doubt any of us could have pinpointed where we are now 16 years ago huh?" Kahili explained.
"You're not wrong." Kukui added in.
"Listen Guzma. We may have had our rough patches… But with the four of us here now, I say we should try and fix it." Kahili offered.
Guzma closed his eyes for a split second.
"How is the golf career going then?" he asked.
"I am meant to be on tour now but when hearing that Alola is finally going to have a Pokemon league, I came flying back home. Pity, I would have loved to of seen Lunala in person." Kahili explained.
Ash was passing by when he saw Guzma talking to a female that he didn't know.
He smirked.
The Kanto born had talked to everyone apart from Kukui, Molayne and a certain dark type kahuna that he couldn't seem to locate.
"Hey Kukui! Have you seen Nanu anywhere?" Ash asked as he approached the group.
Kukui looked around and thought about it as well.
"Huh… Funnily enough no I haven't… Ash, I want to introduce you to Kahili." Kukui said.
Ash recalled the name as he remembered her from when Kukui explained about Guzma's past.
"Kukui has told me a bit about you." Kahili mentioned.
Ash scratched his head.
"Heh, has he now?" Ash said as he completely forgot about Nanu.
Elsewhere in Heahea city, Nanu was alone at a bar as he drunk himself away.
He could some commotion going on but he couldn't be bothered.
He sighed as he drank at his beer that he ordered.
The door to the building door opened as the sound of heels tap away at the wooden flooring.
A medium height woman walked in the direction of Nanu. She wore a suit and had long purple hair that was tied back but kept a bang over her left eye. Around her shoulder was a bag. She sat down next to Nanu but didn't say anything.
The older man sighed.
"I told you to leave me alone." Nanu muttered.
"It's been to long 000. " the woman started to only be cut off.
"Don't call me that." Nanu hissed as he started to drink again.
The dark type user turned to the purple haired woman.
"What do you want?"
"A hello would be a good start."
Nanu rolled his eyes as he motioned to get a top up on his drink.
"I don't do hello's anymore."
"You don't do a lot of things anymore and we know that." She explained.
Nanu scoffed.
"Looker sent you, didn't he?" Nanu questioned.
"Actually, I now out rank Mr. Looker." She explained.
"Well, that's rich!" Nanu laughed. "Look at you now…"
The woman placed her arm on the table and rested on her head.
"I remember me and Looker found you on that beach. With only the recollection of your name and some tower bullshit…" Nanu whispered. "Go away Anabel."
"How is your niece?"
"A lot better because I've just found someone more annoying than her!" Nanu blurted, directing that insult right at Anabel.
"I heard about Mr. Hala. It's a shame, I really enjoyed his welcoming attitude to a strange that appeared on a beach one day." Anabel told Nanu. "You should really pass on my condolences to the family."
"He doesn't have a family except for a grandson." Nanu snapped.
Anabel's patience was thinning slightly.
"Did you tell them?" she questioned.
Nanu closed his eyes.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Nanu muttered as he finished off his beer. He tried to stand up but stopped when Anabel started talking.
"Sit down. I have the place surrounded. We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Anabel threatened. "We have people across the world and you should know that."
Nanu shook his head as he sat back down.
"What do you want to know…" he muttered as Anabel ordered a glass of wine.
"Did you tell them?" she pressed on with her question.
"No! I didn't. They were happy. I wasn't going to go ahead and tell them that they were now walking magnet's. Not yet." Nanu explained to Anabel.
"I had to find that out the hard way and we lost a lot of agents that day… Only three of survived." Anabel said.
"Don't remind me. I sometimes wish I eaten with them!" Nanu shouted as he slammed the bench.
Anabel gave an unimpressed look.
"Sorry…" he muttered.
"I know I am not meant to be in this world either but am now a high-ranking member of the international police. Except nothing is stopping you." Anabel suggested.
"I can't. I have my niece. I can't do that to her…"
"So, do care for her?"
"How is this relevant?" Nanu stressed.
Anabel shrugged her shoulders.
"How are some dead memories from over 15 years ago relevant? Yeah, exactly." Anabel whispered as Nanu shook his head. "Apologises. Perhaps that wasn't very professional to say."
"You think?"
"I am surprised Glutton has managed to lay low for 15 long years." Anabel muttered.
"Well, it's not." Nanu told her.
Anabel gave an interested look.
"What do you mean?"
"When the kids went into Ultra-Space, one of those monsters mentioned the beasts that are around today. Glutton AKA Guzzlord wasn't one of them." Nanu muttered.
"Interesting…"
"So, either it's dead or it found a way back to Ultra-Space." Nanu finished.
"I see. Thank you Nanu." Anabel said as she stood up. "We might see each again?"
"Whatever." The dark user muttered as Anabel started to walk off. "Hey!"
She turned around as Nanu motioned to come back. She did so. Before she could do anything, Nanu grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.
"I suggest you let go Nanu…" Anabel whispered.
"Stay away from him…" Nanu whispered back.
"Who?"
"You know exactly who. What in the off chance he has met this worlds version of you?" Nanu said.
She shrugged her shoulders.
"You're in my region. I am the law here. I don't care who you are, go near him and I'll find you and kill you myself." Nanu threatened this time.
"Sudden personality swing." Anabel countered.
"I wasn't in the mood before. Go." Nanu said as he let go of her wrist. Anabel fixed up her suit and walked off.
Nanu motioned his head downwards and sighed as things was now a lot more complicated.
(Back at the Grand Hano Resort)
Everyone was having a good time talking and celebrating Ash and Lillies victory over Nihilego.
Olivia took to the stage with a microphone.
"I just want to say a huge thank you to the Hano family for allowing us to use the resort on such short notice!" Olivia explained.
"Secondly, I want to present these to two of our brightest trainers in Ash and Hau!" Olivia said as a man handed a box to each of them.
Ash opened his up and inside was a dawn stone.
Hau followed and discovered a dusk stone inside of his.
"Save you two searching or having to pay an overpriced amount to get them." Olivia said.
"Thank you, Olivia!" Ash thanked as Kukui took the stage.
"So! By tomorrow morning, registration for the league will commence and will continue for a day or two. 2 days after registration closes will be the round 1 qualifiers. You play three matches overall in that round and depending how you do then you will move on. Then it is a simple knockout scenario. Till the quarter finals, you will only use 3 Pokemon. If you then make it to the quarter's, semi's and the final will be with 6 Pokemon." Kukui explained.
"Like I said earlier! Seeming it is the first ever time we've had a league, it is free entry to anyone in Alola!" Kukui continued. "The tournament will be at the base of Mount Lanakila and once we have a champion and elite 4, they will do their matches at the building atop of the mountain. Elite 4 is completely down to the champion of course!"
The crowd cheered while Kukui raised his drink.
"So, for one final hurrah before the league!" Kukui announced.
Ash joined in on the cheer but notice Guzma trying to slip off.
"Hey. Hau, hold this for me. I'll be back in a second." Ash told the Melemele native.
Ash ran after the former boss of team skull.
"GUZMA! Wait up!" Ash called out as the man turned around. "Where are you going? We are just getting started with the celebrations?"
Guzma sighed.
"I just need to see someone. Someone uh, important." Guzma muttered.
Ash nodded.
"Alright then." Ash said as he lifted his hand out. Guzma looked at the action and gave an awkward handshake due to his normal arm being in the sling.
Guzma headed for the docks to catch a boat back to Melemele Island as Ash headed back into the resort.
He paid for the ticket despite the employee was offering it for free due to being terrified of Guzma.
He hopped aboard as the trip took about 40 minutes to get between the two islands.
Guzma passed his old school and sighed as he walked in the direction he always used to take as a kid.
The place hadn't changed at all except for a garden now being in the yard.
Guzma sucked up all his courage as he knocked on the door.
A lady in her earlier 50's opened the door and dropped the tea she had.
Guzma stood there before finally saying something.
"Hi… Mum." Guzma muttered she pulled him into a hug, balling her eyes out.
They stood there for a few minutes before Guzma went inside for a long and overdue catch up with his Mother.
(The next Day…)
"Wait? What!?" Ash blurted to Hau.
"I'm not going to sign for the league until I beat Nanu." Hau told him. "If I just sign up, it doesn't feel like I've done enough to actually battle in the league."
Ash sighed but he understood what Hau was meaning.
"Alright. We were planning on going straight there now but message me once you've beaten Nanu." Ash told the Melemele native.
Hau nodded as he gave Ash and Lillie a hug. Gladion despite had warmed slightly to the two refused being touched.
Hau made his way off as Ash turned to Gladion.
"So? What you are going to do now?" Ash asked.
"Well, I am now the acting president of Aether. Kukui talked to me for a bit and convinced me to sign up for this league or whatever. Don't disappoint me and get knocked out before I can do the honours." Gladion told Ash.
"I was going to say the same thing." Ash said determined as the two shook hands. Gladion hugged his sister before departing.
"So… I guess it's just us now." Lillie muttered.
"I know Zach has already left to do some last-minute training and all the trial captains just have to do these last few days before they can go on leave." Ash explained.
"And you said Guzma just left?" Lillie questioned.
"He didn't say where or why." Ash said as he pulled out a pokeball and released Kirlia.
"Lia?" Kirlia muttered, confused why he was out.
Ash got down to his level and showed him the dawn stone.
Kirlia realised what it was and looked at Ash with excitement.
"I can see you are eager to evolve." Ash laughed as Kirlia hit the stone out of his hand as it landed on him.
Kirlia began to evolve as he grew bigger. Once he stopped glowing white, Kirlia was now a powerful looking Gallade as he admired the blades on his arms with a grin.
Ash recalled Gallade as Ash and Lillie made their way to the port to get a boat to Ula'Ula. It only dawned on Ash that Hau could have just travelled with them to Ula'Ula but it was probably better for him to do his own thing. Besides, he was nowhere in sight.
They found their way to the port as Lillie decided to bring a question that was on her mind.
"So, what's going to be plan for the league then?" Lillie asked.
Ash thought on it for a second.
"Well, I feel from the lot I know, Gladion, Hau and Zach are the ones that are probably give me the most trouble if I match with them. If it's in the later rounds, it would be my first 6 on 6 battle with Gladion and Zach. Everyone else I know, I'm fairly calm." Ash explained.
"So, what? Olivia or Nanu doesn't faze you?"
"Well, Olivia maybe. And I don't expect Nanu to enter. Perhaps Acerola might give a tough battle but Decidueye, Incineroar and Mimikyu should be able to handle her if I do match with her." Ash continued.
"Excuse me? But did you say league?" a female called out.
Ash and Lillie turned around to find a girl roughly around Hau's age. She had short black hair but wore Sea Cucumber like hat on top of her head. Her eyes were brown with a small amount of eyeliner added on. She wore a black and white top with black Capri jeans and last wore black sandles on her feet.
"Uh… Hi?" Ash muttered.
"Sorry for bothering you! I just need some help finding the boat to Ula'Ula Island!" the girl explained. "My name is Lucinda!"
Ash didn't know whether to tell her his real name or not.
But after everything that has happened, it was surely going to get out eventually.
"Ash." Ash introduced.
"Lillie." Lillie followed.
"We were actually just on our way to Ula'Ula Island as well." Lillie explained.
"For the Pokemon league." Ash added to see if he could fish out some reaction.
"Oh! So, I did hear correctly! I'm entering as well but have no idea where to get to the boat." Lucinda confessed sheepishly.
"You could just come with us if you wanted?" Lillie offered.
Ash shrugged his shoulders as the girl didn't give any vibe when he told her his name.
"Oh really! That would be much appreciated!" Lucinda thanked.
Lillie did the rest and got them the best seats in the boat.
"Woah! I can't believe you actually got us these seats!" Lucinda said amazed.
"Yeah… It's a long story." Lillie muttered as she didn't want to particular go into her family's wealth. "I noticed the accent. You not from Alola?"
"Oh yeah. Nah I'm not. I'm actually from Kalos. I came 12th in the Pokemon league there about a year or two ago now." Lucinda explained which gave an interested look on Ash's face to see what she knew.
"Oh yeah. What's it like in Kalos?" Ash asked.
"Very beautiful landscape! Amazing foods! Awesome Pokemon!" Lucinda listed. "I actually saw a legendary there as well!"
Ash raised his eyebrow.
"Y-You did?"
"Yeah! Do you know about Zygarde?" she questioned.
Lillie felt a rustle in her bag as the order Pokemon might have heard their name.
"Nope! Name doesn't ring a bell." Ash lying and answering for the two of them as Lillie put her bag on the ground and under her chair to block some noise that the Zygarde cores might make.
"It's this giant black and green legendary that is said to protect the region. Lumiose city is still recovering but Zygarde was there fighting and won! I was at the city at the time even though I am from Anistar city. The one with the world-famous sundial?" Lucinda explained.
"Oh yeah. I've heard of it. Nobody actually knows the origins correct?" Lillie asked.
Lucinda nodded.
"That's the one!"
"Then what brings you to Alola?" Ash asked.
"Well, I actually work for the Kalos times as an upcoming world-famous reporter. They sent me and a few others out to different regions to spend a year there collecting information to make big stories. Only two will end up getting fully hired though. Then when I heard Alola was going to have a league for the first ever time this year, I instantly signed up. Of course, while waiting, I did what I was here to do and got a massive scope!" she explained.
Ash and Lillie looked at each nervous as they both knew what this big scoop was.
"A-and what would that be?" Lillie muttered.
"Aww, come on! Everyone in Alola saw the battle between the guardian and the giant red bug thing! I saw some Tv reporter do some stuff live but the camera was destroyed but I've got photo evidence." Lucinda told the pair.
When saying guardian and the giant red bug thing, she obviously meant Tapu Koko and UB-02: Absorption or now known as Buzzwole.
"Woah… That's amazing!" Ash lied.
They talked more and before they knew it they were at Ula'Ula Island.
"Woah. Look!" Lucinda yelled as a bus was waiting near the port with a sign saying Pokemon league.
"Huh, looks like Kukui has everything." Ash muttered.
"Well, I might see you two around the league! Thanks for everything!" Lucinda thanked once again as she got on the bus that was taking trips to the league.
"We can't let those pictures out of Alola." Ash told Lillie.
"They are probably everywhere now." Lillie tried to explain.
"Yeah well, a couple less will do the world good as well." Ash told her as they made their way to the next bus coming to take them to the league.
(Meanwhile, on Melemele Island)
Hau had lied to Ash and Lillie as he went straight back to Melemele to go check on Hala.
The nurse on duty escorted Hau through the hall as he stopped outside the viewing screen to see his old grandfather still unconscious but seemed a lot older.
Hau closed his eyes and began to cry slightly.
All the support he had been given he was very grateful for but to lose Hala would almost be like losing half of his life.
"Hau." A man called out.
Hau slowly turned to see Nanu of all people standing at the door.
Nanu looked at through the viewing screen and saw Hala. He sighed.
"What do you want…" Hau muttered.
"Take a seat." Nanu insisted.
Hau wasn't in the mood to argue so did as told.
"Where were you last night?" Hau questioned.
"Catching up with an old friend." Nanu explained carefully, choosing his words wisely.
Hau sighed.
"I know what you are going through." Nanu told him.
"No, you don't… You're just some old, crazy cat man…" Hau muttered as Nanu kept a straight look before speaking again.
"Yeah, I am. But do you want to know about the Nanu that wasn't an old crazy cat man?" Nanu told him.
Hau looked up with minor curiosity.
"It was 15 years ago. I had everything: A beautiful wife, a lovely young daughter, my sister was married to the man of her dreams and they also had a loving young daughter as well." Nanu explained emotionlessly.
Hau grew genuinely interested now.
"At the time, I had only been Kahuna for 3 years but was a part of the international police." Nanu continued. "We had gotten a hit on a threat and we found it."
Nanu turned to Hau.
"UB-05: Glutton."
Hau looked at him as he slowly put together little things but was overflowing with questions like how Nanu knew this.
"And then, the plan all went to shit. We still do not know how or why but let say Glutton ate everything I loved. My wife, eaten. My daughter, eaten. My sister and her husband, eaten. At least another 4 agents, eaten. Some of my Pokemon, eaten. The only things that survived was me, my two partners, a young Alolan Meowth and my sister's daughter." Nanu told Hau.
"Do-Does the Aether foundation know about this!?" Hau expressed his concern.
"Let's say the International police and the Aether foundation don't get along. We were both interested in the Ultra-Beasts. I do not know if Glutton is still wandering out there or not but it didn't respond Nihilego's distress call."
Hau nodded.
"Point is, I don't want you to end up like me. Hala wouldn't want that either." Nanu told him.
"It's just hard…" Hau confessed.
"It is but that's life." Nanu told him as he stood up. "While I am here, we might as well battle and get you that final Kahuna battle done and dusted."
Hau nodded as he stood up and followed Nanu outside.
The room was just black as Hala stood there.
He knew what had happened with the monster and knew that his time was up.
"Hala…." A familiar voice called out as Tapu Koko appeared inside of the old Kahuna's mind.
"Tapu Koko…" Hala said firmly.
The electric fairy type flew closely to the old man and hugged him to his best ability due to the shield wings.
"This is it my old friend." Hala told the guardian.
"I am sorry." Tapu Koko confessed.
"It is not your fault. At the end of the day, Melemele Island is safe." Hala told Tapu Koko. "I am not afraid of death friend."
Tapu Koko nodded his head.
"I want you to meet someone." Tapu Koko announced as Hala turned around to see the divine like Pokemon that was next to the guardian.
"Hello Hala." Lunala said in a feminine voice. "We once met before. You might have known me as Nebby?"
Hala could not believe it.
"A-are you Lunala, the one spoken in legend?" Hala asked. The name Nebby dawned on him as he remembered the cloud being Lillie was looking after.
"Yes. Ash, Lillie and Hau all helped me gain the power to stop the beasts and all is fine for now." Nebby explained.
Hala looked down as he couldn't imagine what his grandson was going through. He was all Hau had left beside Mallow's family and he knew he despised them for some reason.
"I can see the conflict on your face. I can confirm Hau is being well looked after by his friends and Pokemon. He had even gained an admirer that he is yet to notice." Nebby explained.
Hala gave a smile.
"Reminds me of you." Tapu Koko chuckled.
"Tapu Koko. I wish for my Pokemon to go to Hau." Hala announced.
Tapu Koko gave a stunned look at Hala request.
"Like I said. I do not fear death. I assume that Pokemon league young Kukui was going on about will be starting soon." Hala continued.
"How did you?" Nebby muttered.
"Hmph. I may be dying but I still hear a mutter or two hahaha!" Hala laughed.
Tapu Koko nodded.
"Talk again later." Tapu Koko said as he and Nebby faded away.
Persian landed on the ground with swirly eyes as Kommo-o stood over the cat.
Nanu cracked a smirk and flicked a dark Z-crystal over to him.
"Congratz kid. Yah did it." Nanu said as he placed his hand on Hau's shoulder.
"Thanks… What you going to do now?" Hau asked.
Nanu shrugged his shoulders.
"Probs go back to Ula'Ula and sort out whatever bullshit those dumb ass cops are doing." Nanu sighed.
"Wait? So, you are not going to participate in the league?" Hau asked.
"Nah… Waste of time in my opinion." Nanu muttered.
He stepped forwards but stopped.
"Show yourself."
As he said that Tapu Koko appeared with a couple of pokeballs.
"Woah… Tapu Koko!? Hau muttered. The guardian dropped the pokeballs in Hau's arms before zooming off.
Hau gave a confused look as released the first Pokemon which he quickly recognised as his grandpa's Crabominable.
"BOM!" Crabominable cried as he was happy to see Hau.
"I think the Island guardian wants you to look after them." Nanu admitted.
Hau nodded at the dark kahuna as he realised somebody had to look after his grandpa's Pokemon.
"Now. Move, scram. Go sign up for your dumb league or whatever." Nanu muttered.
"Thank you Nanu!" Hau thanked as he dashed off for the docks.
Despite the grump Nanu was, he cracked a slight smile.
They were now at the base Mount Lanakila which was practically its own city.
"They call it the Tapu city." Lillie explained.
"Such an original name." Ash laughed as they made their way through the city to find the registration building.
"Well, the place use to be just a village called the Tapu village. But apparently Tapu Bulu destroyed it in rage, leaving the place in ruins 50 or 60 odd years ago. No clue why he allowed it this time though." Lillie explained.
A plethora of Pokemon surrounded them as trainers walked through the streets.
The pair found themselves outside of a building with people flowing in and out.
They proceeded inside as a crowd was inside the building cheering about something. They decided to ignore it and went to register.
"Are you going to go as Ash or what?" Lillie asked. He placed his hands on her shoulders.
"No. If I win, I am going to send them all a message. That they were wrong…" Ash explained. Plus, they lied about him being dead.
Ash sighed up but the lady looked at him funnily.
"Uh… Is something wrong?" Ash asked.
"No, no. Just Kukui said to give this too a young couple by the name of Ash and Lillie. I'd assume that would, be you two?" she asked as she displayed a pair of keys. Lillie handed an id over as she inspected it.
"Hmm, all clear. He threw in a third guy for some guy called Hau. Good luck with your battles."
Ash and Lillie followed the directions to find the accommodation they were staying in for possibly the whole tournament.
And what they found was astonishing.
It was the largest and fanciest villa out of all the building around. The pair looked at each as Ash proceeded to open the door.
Inside was amazing as well. A full view of the ocean, a large flat screen tv, a fireplace, a piano.
"I was not expecting this…" Ash muttered as Lillie picked up a note.
"To Ash and Lillie." She read out. Ash wandered over to read it as well.
I thought this could be one final present from me! Enjoy, it's yours for the next few weeks.
I assume you don't mind if Hau stays with you, so I included him in.
Some food is already in the fridge and cupboards and don't do anything dumb
-Kukui
Ash grinned at the note while Lillie kissed him as he began to kiss back.
"Gladion me love was a strong word but…" Lillie muttered as Ash smiled at her. "I think I found someone I actual love."
They kissed again falling on to the couch as Lillie giggled as the pair split up to explore the giant villa before things got serious.
Author's note: Sorry for the slightly late upload lmao.
Just hectic week that's all. Studying for exams, kill me.
A little more a laid back chapter after the action packed as the first new OC has been introduced with more to come.
Probably another filler and then the first league battle and it will flow from there.
I saw a lot of guesses towards the lycanroc dusk form and there was one that was on the right path but was still off. Not saying who cuz eh. You can guess as much till it's reveal.
Those final two Ultra Beast entries are the two customs that were made. Next chapter I'll uploud in the author note what they mean name wise but I can't asked right now lmao.
QUESTIONS:
What do you think the anime version of the Gladion battle theme, the Ultra beast theme and the totem pokemon battle theme in the recent episode with Gladion and Type Null/Sivally?
What pokemon never fails to do is make excellent music. I was low key worried on how the UB theme would be in the anime and it is amazing. Totem was eh and Gladions I dont think I paid attention to.
And how many guesses are we allowed to have
Many as you want INSIDE THE SAME REVIEW which brings me to the next thing.
Steel guardian, I've seen your reviews about mega-beedrill the first time. Please don't spam the same thing over and over again.
A little late to ask but what made you decide to have Ash get a Type:Null
Idk tbh. I just like Null.
Never seen a more blatant ripoff. And then you even fail at doing a ripoff. How embarrassing, and insulting to good writers. Are you just mashing your keyboard when writing, or how does a story end up like this?
Wasn't going respond but tired as fuck. So love you too.
Are you paying people to review, favorite and follow this story?
Yep. Definitely. As a poor university student, I have paid 1390 people to review, 796 to favorite and 903 to follow.
What about the other 15%?
In the off chance someone actually guesses how Ash gets Lycanroc.
I wonder why in most fanfics Nebby is always Lunala?
Is it because Nebby sounds like a Girl's name or is it because Lunala is better than Solgaleo or is it because people just like Lunala better?
idk
Never played Sun or Moon yet so idk
Solgaleo is the male evolution of Cosmog while Lunala is the female evolution.
Plus it is for plot the reason I evolved Nebby to Lunala. I like them both equally but I did play Sun but am getting Ultra Moon.
So as always, review, suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
