I made an OC just to make this story a little more interesting. Don't worry, she's not evil.

The Key to the Voices:

"Hello? Are you there?" - This is normal speaking.

"Hello? Are you there?" - This is telepathy, or known as speaking with the mind.

Hello? Are you there? - This is just a character's own thoughts. No one else can hear them, unless they have telepathy.


"Hello? Professor!" a voice yelled through the door. It sounded like a girl.

"Yeah I'm coming, give me two seconds!" Kukui replied. He ran over to the door and unlocked it. When he opened it, a teen girl stood there with a bright smile on her face. "Hey! Ali, it has been a long time!"

"Yep! I've been busy Professor, and I've been getting ready for this day to come!" She walked in and Kukui shut the door behind her. "So, why'd you lock the door? You don't usually do that in the day." But before Kukui could answer, she saw Decidueye sitting on the stool. "Oh, I didn't know anyone else would be here."

"Yeah, I found this guy on the beach today. His home was destroyed in the storm last night."

Decidueye waved.

"Awwww. I'm sorry about that." She walked over to him and looked at him very closely. "So, you know my name, I'm Alicia or Ali, what's yours?" Decidueye said nothing as he was actually very annoyed about how close she was to his face. He backed away a bit, and Alicia looked at him weirdly. "Hey, can this guy understand me?"

"Yes Alicia, he can. He just doesn't like talking to others." Kukui answered.

"Why?"

"I don't know and I don't need to know. It's his own personal business, so don't bother him about it." Kukui sighed. "Anyways, why don't I get you started with what you came here for," he announced.

"Oh! Right, let's do that." She turned and headed over to Kukui. "Oh," she said and turned around to look back at Decidueye. "Nice to meet you by the way!" She smiled and continued to head over to Kukui. Decidueye stared at her.

She was a little bit shorter than him, with light brown hair and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a purple, short sleeved T-shirt and a white skirt that went down to her knees. Also, she had black leggings and pink sandals, and she was carrying a black purse on her shoulder. He couldn't help but eavesdrop on their conversation, so he stayed extra quiet.

"Are you ready to start your island trials?" Kukui said.

"Oh yeah," she said, "I've been training super hard. Like, SUPER hard. My Pokémon and I are ready for this."

So she's a Pokémon trainer… Decidueye thought.

Kukui laughed. "I can tell! Here, take this. This will let other trainers know that you are a trial-goer!" He handed her an amulet with a yellow outline and had four different colored parts in the middle. It was also handing on a strap with four beads on it. Alicia took the amulet and clipped it onto her purse. She then made a fist and punched up in the air saying, "Alright! I am now a trial-goer!"

Kukui smiled. "Yes, you are. Now, do you want a Rotom Dex? I have one more in the basement waiting for a trainer to come get it."

She shook her head. "Nah, I'm fine with the old school Pokedex. It's perfectly functional in every way."

"Well, alright then. I'm not forcing you too." Kukui looked at Decidueye. "Are you a Pokémon trainer?" Decidueye quickly shook his head. He couldn't imagine capturing his own Pokémon. "Oh. Do you want to become one?" Decidueye shook his head again, even more fiercely. "Okay, but if you ever change your mind," he pointed his two thumbs at himself, "you know who to talk too."

"Professor!" Alicia yelled. "I want to start today! I can, right?" She was really jumpy and excited.

"I have to check with Ilima first, you know, to see if he isn't busy today."

Decidueye knew about these trials. He has seen some other trainers partake in this little, adventure, and a few went to Ten Carat Hill. They were trying to fill their Pokedex, and each time some of his friends were captured in pokeballs. Some Pokémon chose to do it, because they wanted an adventure. But some were forced and beaten down to nothing as the trainer threw the pokeball. At those moments, Decidueye felt like stepping in and stopping them. But the other Pokémon stopped him from interfering and told him that it he went out there, he might get captured too. They said that the Pokémon in Ten Carat Hill really needed him, and they wouldn't know what to do if he was gone.

And now, he actually left.

He left Ten Carat Hill, knowing perfectly well that the Pokémon needed him.

Maybe I should go back, he thought, I should go back. I can't just leave them there. I can't. But Arceus chose me to do this, and I can't just ignore that. Oh, what should I do?

"Maybe I can go check on him myself to see if he has time!" Alicia said, hoping that the professor said yes. "It wouldn't take long. I know where to go and everything!"

The professor looked at her for a moment. A long moment, thinking about what to say. "I can just call him, but if you really want to and surprise him, then go right ahead."

"Yes!" she yelled, and literally jumped for joy. "So, do you know where he is?"

"I can't say exactly, but I think a good place to start is the Pokémon Trainers' School." She nodded and Kukui looked at Decidueye. "Do you want to go with her?" Decidueye froze, not knowing what to say. Kukui then added, "It's not like you can do anything here, so go out and do something to pass the time. Become friends with Ali, if you want to that is."

"Eh? Professor…" she said, blushing a little. Decidueye on the other hand, didn't really care about this girl and has no intentions of becoming friends. But the professor was right, he had nothing to do at the lab. And if I left, I could look for a clue to the whereabouts of Team Laser. He nodded in agreement to accompany Alicia on her trip to the Pokémon Trainers' School. He noticed Alicia look away, but he could tell that she was smiling. Kukui laughed for some reason.

"See you later then!" he said.

Alicia walked over to the door as Decidueye got up from the stool and followed behind her. "Bye professor! See you soon!"

"Ha, you too Ali and mystery man," he replied as Decidueye and Alicia walked out of his home/lab. Decidueye shut the door behind them and then noticed Alicia looking at him.

"So," she said slowly, "Let's get going then! I really want to start the trial!" She started running over to the Hau'oli Outskirts and Decidueye just trailed behind, not giving a care in the world about her trial.
