Still don't own pokemon. I'm just as disappointed as you.

Chapter Two

At the Party: "Guys I cant believe it! Were finally done with school!" Mao cried! They were all super excited to begin the next steps on their journeys. It was

dark now but there were lights everywhere and people all around dancing and eating. Everyone was having a wonderful time before the Kahunas took to the

Stage. "Alola all!" they proclaimed. Hala took the lead, "As you all know this night is committed to this years graduating class and our next generation of

leaders!" Hala stated proudly. "At this time we would like to welcome those lucky youth onto the stage to declare their intentions for the future!" beamed

Olivia. As Ash and his friends took the stage they were handed a mic to address the crowd. Mao went first and to Ashs amazement she announced she

wanted to become a trial captain. Ash's amazement only continued as both Kiawe and Lana made the same proclamation. Ash took the mic next, "Alola! I

Know I'm not from around here but I've come to really love this place and I'd like to spend as much time here as I can. So I've decided that I'm going to be

taking the Island Challenge!" The crowd erupted in cheers as many clapped and cheered but there were still some who looked on with disdain. It wasn't very often a

foreigner took the island challenge and many of the elders of the island did not like the idea of foreigners being allowed to take the challenge at all. Next the mic was handed

to Sophocles who announced he would be taking a job working for his cousin in the Hokulani Observatory. Finally, the mic fell into Lillie's hands, "…well my plans… my plan

is to continue helping Professor Kukui with his research. My goal is to become a top notch expert on all things pokemon!" she stated finally gaining some confidence at the

end. "Were so proud of each and everyone of you! Now you all go have some fun!" said Olivia happily as everyone took off into the party to celebrate! As everyone gathered

into the party they all broke into dance laughing and enjoying themselves. Afterwards Ash wanted to speak to his friends about their plans so he and Pikachu began

searching for them. Suddenly Pikachu cried out, "Pika!" pointing towards Lillie. "Goodjob buddy!" replied Ash before walking towards the new Reasearcher, as he drew

closer to her he realized she was speaking with someone. He was wearing a lab coat but it wasn't Professor Kukui. "Hey Ash!" Lillie called out once she noticed him, causing

her friend to also turn around while sounding off an "Alola Ashy-boy!" "Gary?! When did you get here?! And why are you here?" Ash said surprised. "I'm here touching base

with my Uncle. Gramps seems to think I could learn a lot by being here in Alola and I thought it would be a good experience. Plus I'd get to come make sure you aren't

slacking!" laughed Gary "I'm not slacking! We get better every day right Pikachu?!" "Pika!" shouted Pikachu proudly. "Well then maybe you'd be up for proving it then! What

do you say to a battle Ash?! If that's okay with you Lillie?" said Gary. "Oh don't mind me, I don't mind the two of you battling. As long as no one gets hurt." Smiled Lillie. "In

that case… YOUR ON GARY! I Hope your ready to get wrecked!" As the two lined up in the middle of an open field the party found its way over too them as everyone began

watching on with a significant bit of interest at the soon to be battle. "All right Ash, I don't want to lead a massacre so let's do this the old way. My best against your best."

Declared Gary. "Agreed. But it doesn't change anything, you'll still get massacred! Let's Go Pikachu!" Pikachu leaped onto the field as it discharged a little electricity from its

cheeks in excitement. "Lets go do this Lucario!" Gary yelled as he tossed out his pokeball releasing a very energetic Lucario. "I didn't know you had a Lucario Gary?!" Ash

said in amazement. "Well what did you think I was doing in Sinnoh Ash?!" Gary replied with his usual smirk. "All right Pikachu lets get this started with a quick attack!"

"Lucario, Meet Pikachu in the middle with close combat!" Pikachu was zooming across the field making a beeline straight for Lucario. As the two collided Pikachu directed a

high impact spear directly into the abdomen of Lucario; however, this did not stop the powerful pokemon from finishing what it started as it began to drill Pikachu with solid

hits. As the last hit landed Pikachu was sent flying back towards Ash, as Gary called out "Calm Mind, Lucario!" "Pikachu are you okay?!" Pikachu called out in worry. "Pika

Pi!" all right buddy we won't fall for that one again! Use electroball!" As the powerful ball of electricity began forming Gary quickly called out, "Block it with an aura sphere!"

the two attacks met in the middle of the field erupting into a field of smoke. "All right Lucario calm mind once again!" As the adamant Lucario finished focusing he opened his

eyes just in time to see Pikachu fly out of the smoke knocking Lucario off of his feet with a high velocity quick attack! "All right buddy! Follow it up with an iron tail now!"

Before Lucario could react it was on its back being crushed by the powerful attack. "Lucario! Can you go on?!" Gary called worriedly to his friend. Lucario responded with a

nod as it got back to its feet, "all right Lucario lets give them a taste of our new combo! Hit them with a full power Aura sphere!" "Pikachu, counter with a Thunderbolt!" The

two attacks once again met with a loud boom creating more smoke as Lucario Exploded out on top of Pikachu unleashing a close combat at max power before quickly

vanishing back into the smoke. "Pikachu!" Ash called to his now face down friend. Before noticing Pikachu ease its way back to its feet slowly. He could faintly here another,

"Calm Mind" coming from the other side. "All right Pikachu, were not gonna be able to take any more surprises like that buddy, we gotta finish this now. Use Electroball and

follow it up with a quick attack!" "Pika, Pika!" As the ball of energy finished forming and was being shot through the air the smoke cleared up enough for Lucario to see he

wouldn't be getting out of the way of this. "Brace yourself Lucario!" as the initial attack made contact Lucario held it as it drove him back, he manage to keep his footing as

the attack exploded, or at least until Pikachu's quick attack caught him sending him once again to the ground. "all right Pikachu lets end this now with a thunderbolt!"

"Lucario kip up to your feet and dodge it." As Lucario got to its feet to evade the attack the bolt of electricity made slight contact with his arm causing significant damage.

"Lucario! We can't take any more of those we need to finish this lets use our back up plan!" "Lu!" the pokemon nodded readying itself. "close combat!" "Pikachu meet it with

an extra strength quick attack!" as the two pokemon shot after each other, "NOW LUCARIO!" Lucario took to the air soaring shooting down in a hurry slamming his fist to

the ground a few feet in front of Pikachu causing a massive earthquake causing Pikachu to slip mid run falling hard into the attack before being rendered unconscious.
