ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 57 - The end of an era but hello to a new.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
A large group formed in Iki town to celebrate Ash's victory as the first champion of Alola. News reporters were trying but failing to get an interview from the Champion…
Well. All but one.
"Thanks for the story! This is gunna really help with really kicking off my career!" Lucinda thanked as she finished jolting down on her note pad.
"No worries. Thanks for helping us out when you could!" Ash told the junior reporter.
She scratched her head sheepishly.
Ash was going to talk to a group that consisted of Kiawe, Molayne and Ilima but Mallow stopped him.
"Hey, I know we have people calling left right and centre. But Gary Oak is calling multiple times. Should I tell him the Champion of Alola doesn't respond to traitors?" Mallow questioned.
Ash didn't know how to respond.
"No… He didn't. Let me talk." Ash muttered as Mallow gave a confused look.
This whole time through Alola, he had forgotten about Gary.
He grabbed the phone and sighed.
"Hey." Ash started.
"Hey." Gary responded.
There was a nervous and awkward silence between the childhood friends.
Gary was the first to break it.
"I saw the final. Wow. An actual Champion from little old Pallet. A shame what the town has become now." Gary explained.
"Wait… What?"
"I was in rage once I found out they had told you to change. Probs lied on some parts. So I took these lot." Gary explained as Ash heard then a quick beep before hearing something he hadn't heard in very long time.
"Vern!"
"Hawlu!"
"Tafl!"
Ash smiled and was in near tears as he heard all his Kalos pokemon minus Goodra who was in safe hands as well.
"Took time for them to get use to me but they warmed up. So, what now?" Gary questioned.
"Alola is not that bad. Trust me." Ash smirked.
"Hmm. Means I'll just have to be second best to you."
The two laughed.
"I am sure the Professor could use a hand or two around the lab." Ash explained.
"I'll think on it." Gary said with a confident look. "Thanks for talking by the way. I wasn't su-"
"It's fine. Thanks for looking after those troublemakers." Ash told Gary.
As he said that, Lillie ran into the room with tears as Ash started looking concerned.
"Uh Gary. I'll call you back. Gimme a number and we'll talk later." Ash told Gary.
"Wait? What's happening?"
"Please."
Gary explained his phone details and hung up as Lillie hugged Ash and cried into his shoulder.
"What's up?" He said in complete confusion.
"Hala… Passed away."
Ash sighed as he rubbed her back and returned the hug.
They both set outside and saw the stunned and shocked group with nearly everyone in tears as the news of the passing of the Kahuna was revealed.
Hau was nowhere in sight.
Kukui gave as gloom look as he took off his Hat and looked down and looked to do some sort of a pray.
Ash and Lillie saw this and did the same as they directed their heads down.
Many caught on and did the same.
Ash didn't feel like doing anything else now but going to find Hau.
"Do you know where?"
"No clue." Lillie responded with glassy eyes.
Ash had a hunch he would be at the Poke Centre.
Just as Ash thought, Hau was at the poke centre as he sat down and looked at the blank and old floor.
"Hau."
The Melemele native looked up and found everyone.
He stood up and saw Ash at the front.
The two hugged.
"I am so sorry." Ash told him.
Hau smiled slightly.
"He wouldn't want me to be like this…" Hau muttered as tears slightly rolled down.
In tradition when a Kahuna passes away, the funeral is public with anyone aloud to pay there respects to the deceased leader.
It was a 3 days after his passing as people and pokemon from all four islands attended to say good bye to Hala.
Ash, Lillie, Hau, Kukui and Burnet as Kukui's partner were seated at the front, joined by the other Kahuna's in the shape and form of Olivia and Nanu. The trial captains were just seated in front.
A rough total of 10000 were estimated to be there in public that could make it with the rest of Alola watching.
Kukui was the one organising it.
Everyone was in black as Hau read over his speech for the 14th time.
Once Kukui got the word, he tapped on the microphone as the crowd went silent.
"Today is a sad and dark day for not only Melemele Island but the whole Alola and our tradition. Today we all gather here to remember and celebrate the life of arguably the greatest Melemele Kahuna, the late Hala Kahna." Kukui said as the you could hear sniffs of sadness from the front to the back.
"My old friend and mentor would not want us to be sad but to be happy about all the moments or things he did in his long-lived life."
There was a projector displaying pictures of Hala throughout his life.
Kukui sighed and closed his eyes.
"I just want to say a short pray before we go through some speeches and remembrances" Kukui explained.
Everyone but there head down as the short term was said.
"I think a good start would b-"Kukui started only to be cut off by a loud cry of a Pokemon.
Flying down from the sky was Tapu Koko, shortly followed up Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu and Tapu Fini.
Nanu and Olivia jumped out of their seats just in case.
"What the!?" Kukui blurted out as Tapu Koko placed his claw on the coffin and closed his eyes.
They Tapu's had come to pay their respects to Hala.
The other three followed in suit.
After Tapu Fini gave her respects, Tapu Koko spoke.
"I will start." He announced at the crowd.
"The man that passed away was possibly the greatest Kahuna to have ever walked on Melemele Island. He was not afraid of death but accept that this was the end. He died doing what he loved the best, helping the people of Melemele."
To hear this from the powerful guardian of the Island, many people including Kukui, broke down into tears.
Hau had a blank expression however.
"He was grateful and proud to have served as the Kahuna for so many years. To see so many take the Island challenge and successfully won. He was a proud father and most importantly… A proud grandfather." Tapu Koko spoke as Hau looked up and nodded at the Tapu.
"He had a quote that he would like to pass on."
"He said the following: Life asked Death, "Why do people love me but hate you?" Death responded, "Because you are a beautiful lie and I am the painful truth. And some day when pages of my life ends, all those involved with my life will be the greatest chapters."
People stood up and clapped as the area shook with from the clapping.
"My final part. He had one dying wish. His successor." Tapu Koko announced.
The crowd fell back into silence.
Tapu Koko sighed as he turned to Hau.
"There was only one ever candidate: Hau, come forward."
Ash, Lillie and everyone looked at the grandson of fallen Kahuna.
Hau slowly got up and walked to the Tapu.
"Your Grandfather loved you with every bone in that old body of his. He was only ever going to pick one person to be the next Kahuna and that person was you."
Tapu Koko's claw revealed a black Z-ring.
"Do you accept the role?" Tapu Koko asked.
Hau's mind was all over the place right now as thousand thing was processing through his mind.
"I… I… I don't know…" Hau rambled.
The four Tapu's gave a confused look.
"I wanted… To take on the battle frontier in Kanto… But if I go, that means I would be disgracing not only you lot but Hala's last wish! I… Don't know what to DO!" Hau yelled at the end.
Tapu Koko laughed.
"You're just like him. He gave the same response when I chose him over 50th years ago. And I will give you the same words: Go and it will be waiting for you." Tapu Koko told Hau.
"But… Who will look after the Island?" Hau asked.
"I can lend a hand or two." Ash offered as he walked up to his friend.
"R-Really?" Hau muttered as Ash nodded.
Tapu Koko handed the black Z-ring to Ash.
"The power Z-ring. May you where it till young Hau returns."
"Who looked after the Island when Hala left?"
"Your grandmother."
The four Tapu's flew off as Hau placed his hand on the coffin.
The funeral went along as planned after the interruption of the guardians of Alola.
The next day came along as everyone was at the airport.
Hau was wearing some different clothes to what he normally wore. He had changed to a grey shirt with a light grey pokeball in the lower corner. He had a black button up shirt over top and the rest was the same.
Next to him was Raichu, Umbreon and Turtwig while the rest of his pokemon where over in the group.
"So, I'll get in contact with you guys as soon as I touch down!" Hau told them all. "You lot behave for the professor and I'll make sure you'll go a match or two!"
"These lot aren't easy beats Hau just a warning." Ash told the future Kahuna.
"Heh. After the Ultra Beast dilemma, I am sure we can take on anything!" Hau announced.
"Attention. Those boarding for Air Kanto flight V128 is ready for boarding. Please come to the terminal as soon as possible thank you." The announcer said.
"Well, that is us then." Hau said as he hugged each and everyone that was there with Lana giving him the biggest hug of them all which he was oblivious too.
"Make Hala proud." Ash told his friend.
"When I get back, expect that champion throne mine." Hau told him with a smirk.
"I look forward to the challenge." As the two shook hands with Hau running off with Raichu, Umbreon and Turtwig.
He was running backwards as he was waving goodbye but tripped over something and fell over.
Everyone had a good laugh which Hau joined in on as he disappeared out of sight to board his plane to Kanto.
Everyone there split away besides Ash, Kukui and Lillie.
Kukui found a newspaper and the contents were pleasing.
"A lot of trainers have pulled there Pokemon out of Oak's ranch after what happened with police investigating. While Brock has been fired from being a doctor. Punishment for Misty is that the water show has been closed by public officials. May and Dawn's online public rating have dropped by 50 percent and received a one year ban each. Iris has been exiled for a year from the dragon village in Unova while Cilan has his family restaurant shut down. Clemont and Bonnie have had Lumiose tower ceased and public out cry for the young marriage of Serena and Prince Marco to end. A rather large result." Kukui explained.
This pleased Ash. He felt for Dawn as Gladion did mention she regretted it but there was nothing he could do.
"So now what?"
Ash shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know? Lunch sounds rather good right now." Ash explained.
"I can't believe you saved us all." Lillie laughed.
"Hahaha." Both Ash and Kukui laughed as they walked off.
"Alola to our Saviour." Kukui finished as they walked out the doors of the airport and awaited the next adventure to come.
Author's note: And with that... Part one is finished.
What a journey it has been.
Seems last chapter was popular lol. 60 plus reviews in the first 24 hours.
57 Chapters. 298,062Words. 2074 reviews. 946 favorites and 1039 followers.
Wow. For the final time in this half, thank you all for motivating me and helping me grow as a writer.
I do not know when the first Chapter of the second half will be uploaded but hopefully not to long away.
Regarding Reviews in the second half, I don't mind if you guys have conversations but if you are leaving a review to just say 'Please Update or when are you going to update', I will be doing something about it. If it includes actual feedback on the chapter then that's fine. Just sick of people commenting that a day after I upload.
And yeah.
QUESTIONS.
a question Ash will fight again against Alan?
It's possible.
What is gonna happen to the traitors and co. now?
Have to wait and find out in the second half. But gave a small snippet of there lives falling downwards.
Question: What did you think of the teaser for the next movie? I'm surprised Sun and Moon are getting shafted again by what looks like a sequel to I Choose You.
It is an interesting approach. They are having the first different director for the film EVER. Seeming the first I choose you film included Ho-Oh and Marshadow, Lugia and Zeraora would make sense as well. Seeming the latter was not revealed in the teaser, chances of Gen 8 next year dropped by a lot. Sun and Moon getting shafted did not surprise me tbh. Just cause it wouldn't make sense to have let's say Necrozma in the film while Nebby is in the anime along side the UB's. Ultra Recon Squad, Necrozma and Rainbow Rocket will be in the anime.
Finally in post game where u had to catch Blacephalon/Stakataka on my 3rd Stakataka I had to catch it was a SHINY.
Congratz. Yeh, I soft reseted 1556 times for my shiny wall. No regrets. Named it Ur Mums Wall.
Why did you hype up the Greninja vs Silvally battle only to have the one Pokemon lose before the Silvally vs Type: Null.
That was my only issue with the chapter. Type: Null was always going to evolve against Silvally but in other words, Greninja had to be knocked out. Besides, lets say I have a rival already planned for Greninja.
When I read the part where Ash's Type: Null evolved, my first thought was that fake Silvally form back in September.
Oh yeah, I remember that now.
Type: Null evolved and now is Type: Full, it's going to have a different name. Maybe get some people to make names like you did for the (Legends Lost In Time) Deoxys x Eevee.
I am just gunna keep it as Silvally but like Full mode form or something. Idk, if someone can come up with a good form name, might use it.
What happened to the Phermosa they captured?
Plot ;)
Why did you choose to leave out Bewear and Salazzle? (Not that I think you hate them)
They are actually two of my favs from Alola. It was a hard choice seeming he had 8 pokemon. I had to have Type: Null seeming she was evolving, Greninja also seeming it was apart of the plan. Had to also include the starters which then left it down to Mimikyu, Gallade, Bewear and Salazzle. Mimikyu was actually going to originally be the one to be burned but as a Pokemon, it's too popular to be left out and with being Ash's only non Alolan pokemon other than Greninja, I included him in as well. Leaving Bewear and Salazzle.
So that is that and for the last time in the first half, review, suggest or PM me. Spectre out!

(A few months later)
Deep within the Kalos mountains was a secret base owned by the government there.
The building was heavily locked up as guards surrounded the place 24/7.
Within the building, high profiled politics and scientists roamed inside, talking about highly classified information.
Inside the labs, two guards stood in front of each door to insure maximum security.
It wasn't the most stressful job as any threats tended to get dealt with already. Good luck getting through the security outside and they had detectors for when a Pokemon used teleport.
One of the guards yawned which taunted the one next to him to yawn as well. He failed to resist the temptation and gave way to the yawn.
They both held heavy armed guns just in case.
He finished the yawn and felt tired.
"We could go to sleep and I guarantee nothing would have happened." The guard said with the one next to him snickering.
"Yeah…" He laughed.
Elsewhere in the building were another two guards but they stood for formal and didn't speak till they both felt a breeze skate right through them.
They both looked at each other and said the same thing.
"What was that?"
A bright light appeared before them as what appeared to be a wormhole opened up. The siren didn't go off at the first until a nearby guard practically threw a chair at the alarm to set it off.
Stepping out of the portal was two men. One that was rather tall and the other tall but as tall.
They both wore white and grey uniforms that was designed to match. They both had extremely pale skin with the taller one having spiky brown hair with blue eyes. His partner had jet black hair that reached his ears as his eyes were red. Ironically, he had an eyepatch over his left eye.
They both gave an aggressive look with an aggressive looking Cosmog next to them.
Before the guards could react, the taller one pulled out a gun and shot them both. The shorter one pulled out a pokeball and revealed a large Charizard.
Charizard unleashed a fire blast right at the door which melt on impact.
"Let's go." The one with the red eyes muttered as Charizard sucked up the access fire and smoke with the 'humans' stepping inside.
They both remained calm despite hearing cries of the incoming flood of guards.
Checking around the room, the taller one pulled out a piece of paper as he smirked.
"Found it." He shouted.
The shorter one nodded at Cosmog who opened a portal was the 4 beings fled inside with it closing behind them.
The flood of guards aimed at the room to find it empty.
They all looked at one another in complete and utter confusion.
(Sinnoh Region)
The portal opened as the four jumped out.
"Good boy Cosmog."
"Pew."
"This world is pathetic." The taller with brown hair announced.
"It's actually the same as ours Blue."
"You don't think I know that already Red? That's why I hate us, I hate the human race." Blue explained.
The pale figure known as Red sighed
"Whatever. I got the map, let's go." Blue hissed.
"Wait. I want to go somewhere." Red told him.
"Why? We are on a top agent mission and you want to have an adventure? Remember the last adventure and look what happened to our world!?"
"It's not an adventure. It could benefit us." Red snapped with an aggressive hiss. "We go in the morning."
"What do I tell the captains?" Blue blurted out.
"I don't know. You're smart."
Red reached for his pocket and released a Pokemon that looked very similar to Midday Lycanroc except was an orange colour. It also had the fur spikes of midnight Lycanroc.
"Eat." Red muttered as he threw Charizard and Lycanroc some food.
Blue pulled out a cybertronic phone as a hologram appeared.
"Report."
"We found the star map. Well, one of them. Still another 87 worlds to jump too." Blue explained.
"Return as soon as possible."
"We'll be back in the morning of this world."
"Do so."
The hologram cut out as Blue sighed while Red glared at him.
His plan was all falling into place.
They camped out in the barren cold environment of the Sinnoh region. For some reason, they weren't bothered by the low temperature of the Sinnoh wilds.
It was now the next day as this mysterious man known as Blue still had no clue what was happening as Cosmog opened a portal.
"Do you mind telling me first?" Blue questioned.
"Trust me."
"No."
"Fine. I'll leave you here." Red muttered as he and Cosmog entered the portal.
Blue groaned and followed shortly after.
Blue stepped out of the portal and found they were in the same room as yesterday.
"What th-"Blue muttered but stopped talking as he heard the silent sound of a gun as he fell to the ground.
He was gasping for air as blood trickled out with his eyes panning to find his attacker.
Red stood over him with a dead look.
"Y-y-you… W-why?" Blue croaked in pain.
"It's time for action Blue." Red muttered as he found the map in Blue's pocket. "I don't have time to explain or convince you, but I believe our leaders aren't as truthful as they appear. I learnt something they don't want us to know."
Blue glared at him.
"Th-they can hea-hear our eve-every words!" The dying Blue spat.
Red smirked.
"No, they can't. Why do you think I chose this place?"
"Those camera's… They've se-seen y-your face!" Blue snapped as Guards began to knock on the door.
Red smirked as he snapped his fingers with a Rotom appearing out of an electrical circuit.
"I no longer need you. It's now time to finish the job. See you in hell bud." Red explained as he fired the remaining bullets into his lifelong friend as Cosmog teleported the pair away.
Two guards opened the door to find the remains to their shock.
(Hours later)
Anabel and Looker entered the room where Blue's remains were resting.
Inside the room was also Prince Marco and his father.
"How did this happen? We have the highest security in the world on this place! Yet it was broken into twice in two days!" The king of Kalos complained as Anabel examined the blood-stained body.
Her eyes jolted on to the logo that was printed on the left shoulder.
"Shocking resemblances to Samuel Oak's grandson. What was his name? Gary or something?" Marco commented.
"It's them." Anabel announced.
"Them?" Marco questioned.
"Do you believe in alternate realities?" Anabel questioned as Looker began to feel ill from the upcoming topic.
"Uh… No why?" Marco responded.
Anabel looked at the offline camera.
Elsewhere, Red pulled down his red hat as he was in new clothing. Black shirt with a red and white vest over top matched with black jeans that were ripped at the knees.
"They call themselves inter-dimensional visitors, but I call them inter-dimensional terrorists". Anabel explained as Red sealed up the bag with his old clothes in it.
"What do you mean? That's impossible!" Marco's father blurted.
"Is it though? You say that is impossible, but you claim your perfect security is perfect, yet it's been broken into twice in two days."
Red found one of those clothes bins and jumped the uniform in there. He made sure no one was watching.
"This is Gary Oak… But from another reality." Anabel explained as everyone looked around confused.
Red made his way to the docks to get the next boat out of here. He knew teleporting would be faster but wanted time to think first.
"He worked with partner right? That is what was reported?" Looker asked.
"Yes. The guards that were rushing could hear two voices, one I am assuming was this fellow." The king explained.
Red pulled down his cap to shield his eyepatch and red eye that was mildly covered thanks to his black hair.
"He is a threat and is still out there." Anabel announced.
"How can you be so sure?"
Anabel smirked.
"Gut feeling."
The watch on Red's left wrist vibrated as he looked at the screen. He was receiving a call.
He glared at the watch and removed it from his wrist.
Red threw it into the water as a Magikarp jumped out of the water as he grunted.
A lady was standing at the gate to the boat.
Red was slightly nervous handing his ID over to the lady but did so anyways.
She looked down at the card then back up at him.
"I'd just suggest updating this. Seems out of date." The lady said as she handed back the card with Red passing through.
The lady's workmate walked over as the boat started to depart.
"What was that about?" her colleague asked.
"Hmm. It was nothing. But he just looked familiar… Oh well."
Red sailed away on the boat and blended in to the crowd of humans as he began his master plan.
3 YEARS LATER...
It was a dark and stormy night as a rare tropical storm brewed over Alola and the neighboring oceans and islands.
Legends fore told…
A loud crackle of thunder occurred as two beings fell from a portal
Of pure and utter darkness…
One of the beings was a tall, fit male while the other was a young girl. Both were wearing some weird suit.
The omens of darkness…
Despite the rain, the girl danced around in joy at the warmth of the night sky
Did once exist…
The male shook his head as he released a weird looking Toxicroak
The last year…
A machine on the girls arm started to vibrate as it picked up energy signals.
Is only just the start…
"Woah! Check this out! The thing is going like, wild!" The young girl explained
This isn't the world of Pokemon…
"The being that devours light was here." The male said.
You all once knew.
"Remain calm and let's go..."
Get ready...
The pair walked down the stairs and through the Vast Poni canyon as a small girl looked outside her window to see the pair.
For the darkest adventure yet!
