ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 59 - 3 years on.
Disclaimer 1: I do not own Pokemon :/
Disclaimer 2: If you have not played USUM and don't want spoilers, don't read.
(2 Weeks after the ending of Chapter 58)
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-
It only took 5th beep for the alarm to be thrown at the wall.
A 19-year-old man groaned into his pillow as he rolled over to find the other half of the bed empty.
It was Monday.
The now older Ash forced himself up and grabbed his alarm, annoyed that it didn't break on impact.
In the kitchen, a tall blonde woman with a piece of toast in her mouth stood over a pan as she fired some bacon.
Lillie turned to find her boyfriend finally waking up.
"New record." Lillie said smugly.
"It's only 7:25." Ash complained.
"Exactly." She laughed which soon turned into a short scream as Ash picked her up from behind.
Ash let her go and realised the date.
"Hmm. I have a meeting with the Elite four today about this year's league." The champion of Alola stated out loud.
"Wow already?
"Yeah, got to start early this time round." Ash stated.
Over the last three years, Ash had formed one of the strongest elite four's in the whole world.
Many questioned his picks, but ultimately turned out to be genius choices.
Lillie finished up and went off to have a shower and get ready for the day.
The young couple had managed to get themselves a private mansion thanks to Ash being the champion of the region and Lillie just being apart of the Aether family.
Greninja was meditating under a waterfall they had in the backyard as many of the Pokemon they had begun to wake up. On a rock next to him was the Zygarde twins.
Ash stepped outside to see all the outside world but was swiftly greeted by three flying types.
"Vern!" Noivern cried as he landed on the ground soon followed by Talonflame and Hawlucha.
Despite not being a flying type, Ash had also gotten Goodra from the Kalos region to return permanently.
"Morning all." Ash said to the four Kalos native pokemon as he patted each other them.
Bewear was still fast asleep as Decidueye and Mimikyu rested on the side of his body.
Incineroar was already training as he fired flamethrowers into his usual rock that he assaults. Salazzle acted to be asleep but secretly watched him.
Silvally was still asleep as well but she got to sleep inside on her own room.
The couple agreed to look after Lusamine's Pokemon as well. The bulk of the energy that infected them has worn off but still suffered from time to time.
Speaking of Lusamine, she unfortunately was still succumbed to her coma after splitting with Nihilego three years ago.
The Aether Foundation looked after her, but it was primarily Gladion despite the pairs damaged and near unfixable relationship.
At the end of the day, she was still his mother.
Ash also scanned the field for some of his newer additions.
He caught himself a powerful Trevenant that was once terrorising the cemetery just on the outskirts of Hau'Oli City. Another powerful team member he picked up was in the shape and form of a Ribombee that he found injured as a Cutiefly. With training, she was all up to speed.
"Pup!" A small bark woofed out.
Ash and Lillie had gotten a small Lillipup as a house pet to have around.
Ash preferred to just call the small pokemon by her name, but Lillie had gotten the Lillipup to react to Woofers.
"Morning Woof." Ash said as he picked up the baby Lillipup as she wagged her tail.
"Alright. I'll be home about 5ish? Do you mind sorting dinner out? I have to a special guest visiting the class and it is going to be hectic and I doubt I'll have the energy to do anything." Lillie requested.
She had her blonde hair tied into a bun with a pair of glasses on. She wore a long white sleeved shirt with a grey vest over top. This was complemented with a black skirt and black stockings with the footwear being a plain ballet shoes.
"Got it." Ash called back.
"Okay. Love you!" Lillie said as she raced out the door otherwise she was going to be late.
Lillie jumped into her car and drove off as Ash dragged himself back to bed.
It took 20 minutes to get there but Lillie arrived well before students showed up.
She unlocked her classroom and dumped her bag on her desk next to the photo of her, Ash and Hau three years ago.
She smiled at while releasing her three pokemon: Her first partner Ninetales, Kirlia and a Floette she had caught.
"Tale!" The Alolan form cried, happy to be out of her pokeball.
"I swear, if he doesn't show up on time…" Lillie muttered as she faced the reality of it happening.
This special 'guest' was going to give Lillie's class a brief explanation on the island trial.
She set up her laptop and scrolled through her class test result. The overall was a 85% which she was pleased with.
"Morning!" Ilima called as he stood outside the door of Lillie's classroom.
"Oh, morning Ilima." Lillie called back.
"So, I saw the planner. In for quiet the lesson?" Ilima said with a smirk.
"I just hope he actually shows on time." She repeated but this time to Ilima.
"Don't worry! He'll show. Any who, gotta go set up for the day, hopefully your visit goes to plan!" Ilima wished as he walked off.
Lillie sweat dropped as she wished the same.
It wasn't long till students began to arrive at school.
Lillie's 9 and 10-year-old students began to arrive as the bell rang.
"Morning everyone!" Lillie said with her three pokemon to her side.
"Good morning Ms. Aether." The class said in sync.
"Right as everyone knows we have our special visit today at 9:30 so till then, I'd like you all to continue to brainstorm on some questions to ask him!" Lillie told her students as they pulled out some paper and pens and continued the task.
Elsewhere on Mount Lanakila…
Ash waited in the main room as 3 trainers approached him.
"Morning Ash!" Acerola said out loud.
She was soon followed by Zach and Molayne.
This was three out of his four elite four for Alola.
Zach after the Alola league three years ago travelled to Sinnoh and won in his first year there and got the chance to battle Cynthia but unfortunately lost. As soon as he returned to Alola, Ash offered him a place in the elite four with the standing in Nanu willingly stood down.
Acerola being the strongest of the trial captains three years ago was also selected due to her not only being the strongest at the time, but Ash offered her a spot as a thank you for the help during his little crisis with Incineroar, the siege on Po town and the raid on Aether. Though she got knocked out in the quarters, she probably would have made the semi's if it had not of been for being paired with Gladion.
Molayne was selected as a former Island trial champion. He chose not to compete in the league 3 years ago but decided to take part in the league the year after, making the final but sadly losing to a foreign trainer. Olivia stepped down due to her needing to focus on her role as a Kahuna. After beating the winner that year, Ash originally offered a place to her, but she declined so the next was to Molayne.
Ash did a head count and only saw three.
"Always late."
"Tsk. Me? Late? Never…" A fourth voice called as Guzma walked into the room.
Ash selected the former boss of Team Skull as the fourth member of his Elite four.
The five stood in the room as they discussed the plans.
"Alright, as you guys know that this year is the world championships. Each region is to bring 8 members which must include the champion being me and the elite four being you lot. Which leaves us with three more places. Two of those are going to Hau and Gladion if they chose to accept which then leaves us with one place." Ash explained to everyone.
"Lemme guess? The sucker that wins the league?" Guzma questioned.
Ash nodded.
"We are going into this to win and we only want the best." Ash explained further.
"But what if the winner isn't up to standard?" Molayne asked.
Ash thought on this.
"Guess we are just going to have to carry that person then. Alright meeting over."
Ash and Zach walked out together.
"So how is Olivia?" Ash asked the Unovan born.
"Good. Good. We had dinner the other night at Mallow's restaurant." Zach explained.
Ash smirked.
"Slaying I tell yah." Ash laughed.
"How is Lillie? Haven't seen her in a bit." Zach asked this time.
"Working everyday but she enjoys it. In fact, she was having a visitor show up today." Ash told him.
"Oh? Who?"
Ash smirked again.
"The Kahuna."
It was 9:50 as he was 20 minutes late.
Lillie's class waited in silence as the odd whisper or two could be heard.
She tapped her finger nail on the desk and continued to snap at the clock as she counted every second he was late.
With that, the wait was over.
The door flung open so hard, it could have been ripped off its hinges.
"SORRY I AM LATE!" Hau yelled as he and Raichu were standing outside the class. The pair could see the pissed off Lillie and didn't want to make it worse.
The two tried to enter the class at the same time on to get themselves wedged in the doorframe.
"HEY! I was going first!" Hau yelled at Raichu.
"Chu!" Raichu snapped back as they unwedged themselves and got in each other's face, growling at one another.
Everyone just watched the young Kahuna and his pokemon fight as Lillie stood there.
"Hau."
A blank look appeared on Hau's and Raichu's faces as they turned to the young school teacher.
They quickly recomposed themselves and ran to the front.
"Heyah! Everyone! The name is Hau and I am your Island Kahuna here on Melemele!" Hau announced to the class with Raichu next to him.
Lillie sighed.
"Class, say hello to Hau, the Kahuna of Melemele Island." Lillie properly introduced the Kahuna.
"Good morning Hau." The class said in sync.
"I think I'll explain a bit about myself: Those that don't know, I am the grandson of the greatest Melemele Kahuna ever! I met Lillie 3 year ago and we travelled Alola together along with the champion of Alola himself!" Hau explained. "I returned back to Alola about a year and a half ago after a long adventure in Kanto, taking on the battle frontier in which I won successfully."
The class was impressed as small talk scurried across the room.
Hau further explained about the Island trials and the history and meaning behind them.
"Alright class. We'll sneak in a few questions before break. Uh, Hayley, you first!" Lillie instructed.
A ginger haired girl stood up with a piece of paper in her hand.
"What was it like to lose to the Ash in the first Alolan league?" Hayley asked.
Lillie giggled a little as the question caught Hau off-guard.
"Uh. Well, I travelled with Ash the whole region, so it was bitter to lose but sweet to see someone who I looked up to win and go on to win the whole thing." Hau explained.
Lillie pointed at a small boy with dark skin.
"Who was your first starter?"
"I picked Popplio due to the others all escaping."
Lillie sweat dropped at the circumstances Hau got his starter.
A taller kid that looked like your typical school bully stood up and smirked at his question.
"Why are the worse of the Kahunas?" the boy laughed.
"Henry!" Lillie yelled.
"I don't know. Why are the stereotypical bully? Oh wait, I bet you don't even know what that means?" Hau laughed back as the bell went.
The class rushed out as Lillie gave an unimpressed look at the young Kahuna.
The two walked out as Lillie was on interval duty.
"So how is Tapu Koko?" Lillie asked with a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Same old, same old." Hau explained as he took a chunk out of his malasada.
"Mister Kahuna! Can you show us your pokemon?" A small 6-year-old girl questioned with her friends.
Hau grinned.
He didn't have all his pokemon on him, but he released two pokemon to join alongside Raichu.
The first was his trusty Umbreon while the second was a Kantonian Marowak.
"Wow! It's just like in the book!" The group of girls admired the ground type who twirled his bone in the air.
Out of the main door was Kiawe with his younger sister who didn't look well.
"Oh, It's Kiawe!" Lillie claimed as Hau called out.
"HEY KIAWE!" He shouted.
The former fire trial captain turned and saw the two.
"Hau, Lillie! So good to see you again, how have you been?" Kiawe asked.
"Great. What are you doing here?" Lillie asked.
"Oh, this one threw up early so parents sent me out to get her. Huh?" Kiawe explained and then took interest in the Kanto version of Marowak. "Is that your Hau?"
"Yep. Got him in heated battle but won!" Hau gloated.
"Well, remember I have the Alolan Marowak as well!" Kiawe smiled.
"I don't know if this is a good idea… Marowak already has a short temper as it is…" Lillie explained as students began to gather around.
Hoshi shuffled to the side as Kiawe brought out his fire ghost type.
The two Marowaks looked at each other.
"Maro?"
"Wak?"
Without warning, they slammed each other on the skulls and jumped back, twirling their bones in signal they were about to brawl.
Kiawe and Hau quickly jumped on to there retrospective Marowak and held them back.
"No! Fighting outside of battle is not-GOOD!" Hau yelled as his Marowak tried to break free.
"Agre-Agreed!" Kiawe yelled as well.
Lillie stood there with a sweat drop.
"Told you so…" She muttered.
The two-broke free out of there trainers grip and rammed into each other's skulls, growling furiously at one another.
"Chu!" Raichu said flying over to them only for the pair to glare right into Raichu's soul.
With a combined whack of there bones, they sent Raichu flying and continued to scrap with their trainers intervening.
However, flying back was a very pissed off Raichu as he slammed into Hau, Kiawe, Alolan Marowak and Kantonian Marowak with volt attack. However, the latter didn't feel a thing as he was a ground type.
At that point, the bell rang with students running back to class as the Kahuna of Melemele and the former fire captain plus his Pokemon laid on the ground charred as Raichu floated over them scratching his head as he just realised he went a little overboard.
The rest of the day played out as Lillie was on her way back home.
She had the radio on as she drove.
"That's right! For 9.95 you can get a ticket to the all you can eat buffet in down town Heahea city!"
Lillie rolled her eyes but thought that might be a good present for Ash's birthday for next year.
"BREAKING NEWS: Police have just raided a home in Hau'Oli city to find 4 children locked up after the first report 2 weeks ago."
Lillie heard this and quickly turned up the radio.
"The police and Aether foundation are still without a suspect, but this could mean the streets of the city might be safe again. Reports, the children were deprived of light and very unwell but no life-threatening situations."
Lillie turned it off due to the report making her feel sick.
She arrived home and flew inside to release her three pokemon.
Ash was in the kitchen cooking as he heard Lillie drop her bag on the ground.
"Oh hey. How was work?" Ash asked.
"Uh… Hau was late."
"No surprise." Ash laughed.
"Did you hear something about missing kids?" Lillie asked, getting straight to the point.
"Oh yeah. The NEWS was just talking about it. Gladion was on and gave a report. I recorded it actually."
Ash turned down the heat on the stove as he rewinded to the part were the President of Aether foundation was on the screen.
"We are currently without a lead suspect, but we won't stop the search till we do. The four kids will be returned to there retrospective families and I just request all parents to go give a hug to their children. The Aether foundation assures everything is fine." Gladion explained as Ash returned to the channels present time.
The pair ate dinner while watching Alola's hit sport, Mantine surf.
"OHHH! Roger Curde manages to land the Starmie 720 to take the lead in the points board!"
Lillie was on her laptop, marking some test result.
Her laptop gave a small buzz as she received an email from Professor Kukui.
"Huh…"
"What's up?" Ash questioned.
"Weird. Got an email from Kukui. He never sends out emails unless it's important…" Lillie explained as she opened the digital message.
'Hey Lillie.
I'd just like to inform you that you will have a new student joining your class on tomorrow, not a lot is known at this stage. She apparently doesn't have good English as her and her older brother have moved here. It was all kind of in the blue this all happened.
Her name is Zossie Er'utey. Weird last name not going to lie.
Anyways, if you can arrive here early tomorrow, that would be great!'
-Kukui.
"Got a new student arriving tomorrow." Lillie told Ash.
"Oh. Is that all?" Ash muttered.
The rest of the night played out as the next day rolled around with Lillie arriving earlier than usual.
She made her way to the principles office where Ms. Lowe, the principle and Kukui were waiting.
"Morning Lillie." Kukui said to the young teacher.
"Morning Kukui, morning Lorean." Lillie said to the pair.
"Right Lillie. As you know, her and her older brother have just moved here and were told that you were the best teacher in that age group so by request, placed Ms. Er'utey in your class."
The principle displayed a picture of young Zossie.
Lillie looked at her picture as this was no ordinary young girl.
She had awful pale skin which was contrasted with her bright ginger hair. She had large purple eyes and freckles over her cheeks.
"Her brother described her with multiple conditions. But that shouldn't prevent anything would it?" Kukui explained.
"Oh! No! No! Everything should be fine. Uh, I'll just make sure or get one of the kids to make sure she doesn't get bullied.
There was a knock on the door.
"That must be them now!"
The girl in the picture walked in along with an older adult.
"Hi Zossie. I am your teacher, Ms. Aether!" Lillie greeted.
"H-He-Heelo?" Zossie said with broken English.
"You're going to love it here!" Lillie assured her as she turned to the older brother. "And you must be her older brother!"
The older being nodded his head as he hugged Zossie goodbye and left.
Zossie gave a sad look.
"G-go?" She muttered confused and ran outside.
"Zossie! Wait!" Lillie said but Kukui held her.
"Maybe just let her say goodbye again?" Kukui suggested.
Zossie ran out and hugged the older being but actually whispered into his ear.
"Report back to Dulse. Go."
The 'humanoid figure' left the building as Zossie walked back into the office. Once outside, he snuck over to a bush.
A janitor who was doing some cleaning saw this and soon saw a Zoroark run out of the bush and up the hill out of sight. The Janitor blinked at what he saw but soon shook it off.
The Zoroark at a fast pace as he arrived in front of a 'human' who was leaning against a tree. Next to him was a different kind of Toxicroak.
"Report." He muttered.
"Roak!"
The man looked unimpressed but soon sighed.
This was Zossie's idea, not his. His plan was to storm in and confirm by force but hers was to lay low and learn.
"She has a break at 10:00AM human time. We'll contact her then." The man said with his arms folded as he looked over at the city of Hau'Oli.
"Disgusting humans…" He grunted as the three stormed off.
"Everybody! This is Zossie! A new member of our class!" Lillie announced as the ginger stood up the front and shyly waved at the crowd.
"Why is she so pale? Is she a vampire?" Henry questioned.
"Va-Vampeir?" Zossie muttered, confused at this new term to her.
"Henry! Apologise or detention at lunch!" Lillie growled at the young boy.
"Ugh. Sorry Zossie." Henry muttered as the ginger sat down with some girls.
"So, you are not from Alola?" A girl asked as Zossie shook her head to signal no.
"Well! Welcome to Alola!" Another girl said as she did the circular motion to greet in Alola.
"Wha-What was that?" Zossie asked.
"What? This?" The girl said and did the action again.
Zossie didn't understand and tried to copy her but turned into a square motion instead.
"Good enough…"
Lillie kept an eye on Zossie to ensure nothing happened.
She had no idea what she was getting herself into…
Authors note: THE FIRST USUM CHAPTER AND WE ARE JUMPING STRAIGHT IN WOOOO!
So yes, three years on some things have changed with more to be explained in next chapter as I felt it would be better to have it spread over two chapters than just cram into one but still have some progress EG: Ultra Recon squad and giving some updates of Pokemon and status's of certain characters.
I also realized with me putting the chapter number back in order on the drop down tab resulted in the chapters already uploaded that have the old number in the chapter so ugh.
So Lillie is a teacher with a... Interesting new student.
Ash's elite four has been selected: Guzma, Acerola, Molayne and Zach.
My reasons behind the selection: Guzma was always going to be in, Acerola is my favorite trial captain and E4 of the Alola league (Due to Dhelmise and Mimikyu), Molayne is for some more added USUM and thought gotta have a OC in there which left Zach. I sort of didn't like the idea behind the Kahuna's being the E4 so that's why Olivia and Hau aren't ones.
Regarding a situation in the reviews: It's fine. His opinion, he gave the story a shot and didn't like it so moved on. No need to attack.
Though I did have to delete a review for being rather disgusting.
And Yeah.
QUESTIONS:
Is this your dream of what USUM should have mixed with real USUM, or purely USUM-based (similar to SM arc)?
I think this is a really good question to start with: In a way yes. It will have the basics of USUM (So new UB's, Ultra recon squad, Team RR ect) but in a way that if I was asked to write the plot but keep it sort of the same, it's like that.
But I have plenty of surprises don't worry.
Don't you think that Dulse and Zossie are siblings or cousins?
I've always looked at them as non-related but as Dulse acting like the older brother to Zossie. I played U-Moon but from what i've seen. But will do some more looking into there text.
I sure hope Red owning Dusk Lycanroc doesn't mean you've backed out on giving Ash one.
The answer is in the chapter already last chapter. Just gotta find it and think about it for a second. Hint: Involves Blue.
You missed the chance to have the final round of the league a Battle Royal.
Holy shit. I never actually thought of that lol. Would reflect on the Professor's way of battling too.
Btw I love the story but why m rating?
Well, I mean. Consistent cursing, death every odd chapter or two and for future stuff as well. Kind of like a future proofing in a way.
Kinda reminds me of Rick and Morty.
Yeah, the Evil Morty and Rick episode was a small basis on the chapter as a start.
So Red has Dusk Lycanroc. Makes sense. So will Ash get Red's Lycanroc?
Like I said before, reread the chapter and look carefully and you'll get the answer.
Will blue show up and help ash defeat red
Uh... Blue is dead. Red killed him.
One thing is certain: This isn't the Alola we thought we knew!
No it is not :) This is just the start!
So as always, review, suggest or PM me! Spectre out!
