I had alot of fun making chapter 1. "I get to play video games while writing a story? BOTH MY FAVORITE THINGS HAVE BECOME ONE!" well, not much else. Time to read the actual story. Oh, actually. St Elmo's Fire left a review, and criticized me for something i didn't do, and something that doesn't matter. I don't remember when i have ever had a sentence not end in punctuation. And if i did, it'd probably be at least alittle easy to realize there's supposed to be an exclamation point, question mark or period. And also, i'm just too lazy to capitalize "I" and I don't think that capitalization errors matter too much, but i guess I should at least try to use more proper grammar. And Istwill56, you're right. NOW time to read the actual story!
Blah blah, Kukui's here, moving on. Mercury walked to the door, but again, Kukui walked in himself. "Hey there, Mercury!" He said "It's about time we set out for the festival, yeah!" He followed him to Iki Town, and Kukui taught him how to catch a pokemon along the way. Kukui now has a Pikipek! Mercury decided to get some levels on Raider.

It was a short walk. "Alola is made up of 4 islands." Hala said once Mercury got there "And each island has its own guardian Pokemon. Our festival today is held to express our thanks to these great Pokemon guardian deities for always remaining by our side. Well, we may call it a festival, but it's just this little thing you see here. There may not be many of us, but at least every last one of us goes all out." Mercury went to the arena were he saw Hau preparing for battle. "Ho, howzit Mercury!" Hau said "Man, i thought you'd never make it! Me and Popplio've been waiting for ages!" The others showed up shortly after that. "So you guys are gonna battle?" Kukui asked. Mercury and Hau looked over at each other. "Yes" Mercury answered.
Mercury and Hau got on the arena, and Hala was the referee.

"Woo! Another great battle!" Hau said "Your Rowlet was amazing, even better than before!" Mercury stared at him. "It's Raider" Mercury said. Hau smiled "Well, I better get going!" He said. "Hey, Mercury." Hala said "I've finished making that gift for you." He gave Mercury a bracelet. "What's this?" Mercury ask. "It's a Z-Ring." Hala explained "You can collect Z-Crystals across your island challenge and use them to unleash your Pokemon's full force Z-power. It can use a super powerful move called a Z-move." Mercury looked at him. "How many times did he say Z there?" He thought. Mercury went home.
The Next Morning
*Ding* The door bell rang. "I swear to god if Kukui just walks in again!" Mercury thought, walking through the door. However, it wasn't Kukui, it was Lillie. "Oh. Um..." Lillie said "The professor said... 'Hey there, Lillie! Bring me that great new Trainer. Woo!' So I'm here to show you the way to his Pokemon lab, if you'll come with me. It's, um... It's this way." Lillie turned away. "Mercury!" Mercury's mom said "Here. A little pocket money for you. Don't go wasting it on anything silly!" She handed him money "Oh! Well done, Mercury. You're already making friends aren't you? A what a cute little friend you've found!" Lillie looked nervous. "M-me?" She said "Well, thank you... My name is Lillie. It's very nice to meet you." Mercury's mom went back inside the house.
They both agreed to never talk about that awkward situation by just glancing over at each other. Along the way, Lillie tried to talk to break the awkward silence. "Since i'm not a trainer, i have to rely on using Repels all the time." She said. Mercury decided to train Raider by battling some of the nearby trainers.

Raider grew to level 10 (from 9)
HP + 3
Defense + 2

Everything else + 1

It wasn't really too important. Kukui gave him a Rotom Dex, not much else. Lillie lives in the loft in Kukuis lab, and Mercury decided to look around Lillies room with a really awkward description of Lillie's bed. Mercury and Hau started the island challenge, but that and the Rotom Dex are the only things of interest. Every one went to Hau'oli City, were they were gonna visit the pokemon school. While Lillie and Mercury were waiting for Kukui and Hau to show up, Lillie showed Mercury around the Pokemon Center. By the time they were done, the other 2 were there and ready to visit the trainer school.
At the school Mercury battled some trainers and stuff. The trainers hid and he had to find them before they battled. BATTLE MONTAGE!
[
Hiromi sent out Pikipek.
Mercury sent out Raider.
Pikipek used Peck.
Raider used Tackle.
Not sure i have a chance winning this because my only pokemon is weak to Peck... should i have a symbol for super effective? Nah!
Pikipek used Echoed Voice.
Raider used Tackle.
That idiot could've EASILY won by using Peck over and over again, but NOPE!
Pikipek used Echoed Voice.
Raider used Tackle.
Pikipek fainted.
How STUPID can you be, Hiromi!

Mercury saw a Magnemite and thought "I wanna catch that!" so he had a better chance at the other 3 battles. He looked at Magnemite. "I'll name you Thunder!" he said. He quickly got attached to Magnemite.
[
Joey sent out Metapod (if only it was Rattata).
Mercury sent out Raider.
Raider used Peck.
It's super effective!
Metapod used Tackle.
Metapod might as well have been defeated by that peck. That just happened again, then the battle was over.

[
Mia sent out Bonsly.
Mercury sent out Raider.
Raider used Leafage.
It's super effective!
Bonsly used... actually i was busy looking at the screen, but it was copycat or something, because it copied Raiders Leafage.
Bonsly, like Metapod, might as well have fainted. Another Leafage was enough to defeat him.

Final battle in the montage.

WOO! There's the montage out of the way! The school bell rang. "Would Mercury please come to the office on floor 2?" the speaker said (that doesn't really make sense, but i'm keeping it). Lillie walked over to him. "What terrible thing did you do to get called to the office so soon?" she asked. "Eh, well... I did crush the feelings of a preschooler... and some elementary schoolers..." he responded. "So you did do something?!" Lillie asked. "I just answered that." Mercury responded.
He walked up to the office. "Hello, Mercury!" the teacher said. "What did I do wrong?" Mercury asked. The teacher giggled. "Nothing! You beat all the trainers!" She said "After seeing such performance, I think I'd like to battle you myself!" Mercury had to heal up, then was ready.
[
Emily sent out Magnemite.
Mercury sent out Raider.

"Sensational!" the Teacher said "Maybe you'd like to take over as teacher here for me! All joking aside, though, I do want you to take these from me. It's a little reward for beating me." She handed Mercury 5 Great Balls. Prof. Kukui and some random, 18-year-old-looking Pokemon Trainer. "Know your Pokemon and know their moves." Kukui said "Those are the basics of being a Trainer!" The mysterious trainer looked at Mercury. "Greetings! Captain Ilima here." the Trainer said. "Why'd he just greet me like a Youtuber?" Mercury thought.
"I couldn't help but observe your battles." Ilima said "You looked so very delightful in battle that I had no choice but to summon you here." Kukui introduced Mercury to Ilima/ "This is Mercury, he just moved here to Alola from the Kanto region. He's got a real sense for how to use moves, and i think he's gonna go far as a Trainer, yeah!" Ilima smiled "I see! Then welcome, new comer. I look forward to seeing the brilliance of your moves in my trial. Indeed! We captains are the ones who conduct the trials you will face on your way to challenging the Kahuna. My trial is held in verdant cavern. The trial of Captain Ilima." Kukui started talking, but Mercury didn't listen because he was sick of people never shutting up.
"Um... Since we've come this far together, why don't i show you some more of the city?" Lillie said "Come on, there's lots to see." Mercury smiled "Did she just say we've come far?" Mercury thought "Oh, did she mean... like, walking? Skill level?"
Okay, so with St Elmo's Fire, either block him, or want a review from him to see what stupid things he'll complain about. I once saw him say "You don't need to say when the point of view has changed" on someone else's story, and say "You shouldn't be changing the P.O.V. in the middle of the story anyway." Istwill56 was correct in saying "He's just being a Feebashole at this point." That's not how he said it, but I censored it because "Durr i'm is kid frenly and kinda stuff."
