Chapter 2: I don't own any of the characters or Pokémon except Shira and Nirie.

Shira wove through the trees, ducking to avoid overhead branches and jumping over stray rocks. Every so often, a glimmer of purple paused in the dark as if taking a breath. Knowing Nirie, it was probably true, especially with those ridiculous platform shoes. Shira, concealed in the night, passed Nirie without her noticing and chased the white hat, fleeing out of the forest. Shira turned for a millisecond to dodge a branch, losing sight of the runner. Shira groaned, but headed towards the light of the moon cracking through the trees.

Shira blew a strand of hair out of her face as the pale moonlight showered onto her face. A cool breeze lifted the heat off her and Shira looked around at the cliff side, hoping to find the girl she was pursuing.

There, before a bridge connecting the edge of the cliff crevasse to the other side off the cliff, was a girl in a lacy white dress, a giant white hat over her waterfall of platinum blonde hair. The girl looked about Shira's age and was staring in horror at the bridge. On the middle of the bridge were a flock of Spearow pecking at something, but what? Shira walked up to the girl, she turned and looked at Shira in surprise.

"Nebby! Oh, no. Could you help Nebby?!" The girl asked, frantic.

Shira ran onto the bridge, but stopped quickly and gripped the rope after realizing how shaky the bridge was. Shira stepped cautiously forward and made her way closer to the Spearow, still gripping the rope, fingers blue.

Shira swatted at the Spearow and looked carefully. It was a pokemon, a starry one for sure. Shaped like a cloud and colors of the night. Shira stared. She hadn't study for that, she never seen a pokemon like that.

Shira remembered what she had came for, she grabbed the fluffy cloud thing and ran, swatting Spearows away. The bridge gave an very reassuring shudder Shira ran harder, pressing the Pokémon closer to her. She heard a creak and the bridge gave out. Shira was plummeting, curling her body around the little cloud thing, eyes closed. Shira heard a zap and suddenly, she wasn't falling. Shira opened one eye slowly and gasped, opening the other. She was flying, Shira looked down and saw a figure under her. She was standing on their very legendary Guardian, Tapu Koko. Shira tried to fathom what was happening, but she was on the ground, the tapu gone.

Shira looked around. The girl was staring at her eyes wide. Shira handed her the "Nebby" she had called it.

"Oh! Thank you. Lillie. This is Cosmog, or I call Nebby. It's supposed to be a secret. Please don't tell!" The girl whispered.

"Shira. Nice name! I promise I won't tell." Shira grinned broadly.

"Thank you. I like your name." Lillie sighed with relief.

"Thanks-" Shira stopped, "We should go back."

Lillie nodded and the two girls jogged back to village. The rest off Shira's day was a blur up until her first Pokemon.

"Well, Shira! Which would you like to accompany you on your journey?" Professor Kukui inquired.

Shira answered without hesitation, "Popplio!"

Shira stepped forward towards to Popplio. The little seal Pokémon inspected her curiously before rushing forward to meet her. Shira picked it up and gave it a hug, tapping the a pokéball that, that belonged to Popplio, Hala handed her gently against Popplio's forehead.

"Nickname?" Hala asked.

"Bluee!" Shira answered

"Blue, like the color?" Hala rubbed his chin.

"No! Like Bluee. Blue with two 'e's." Shira corrected, looking fondly at the pokéball that held Bluee.

"Alright!" Professor Kukui announced, replacing Bluee with another Popplio, "Nirie, your turn."

Nirie flipped her hair over her shoulder and stepped up to Litten, "Litten. Because it's stronger than Popplio."

Shira snorted, and Hala coughed.

Litten looked up at Nirie and stepped towards her with swagger.

"You'll be Tiger." Nirie said sassily, picking up Litten.

After that, it was still a blur of talking with Lillie and food. Suddenly the lights went out.

Lillie looked around, gripping Shira's hand, "Why's it so dark! It's supposed to be a full moon!"

The moon… Shira looked up and gasped. "The moon!"

The crowd chattered nervously. Pointing and gasping at the moon, which was dark and just a black bulb in the sky.

A roar sounded and everyone screamed. Local authorities try to calm them. Solgaleo came into view, Lunala swept by with an angered screech. Lunala's wings glowed and lights swirled together. Solgaleo growled and gathered his own night. Dawn was approaching according to Shira's mental clock and the two Alolan legendaries were about to destroy each other.
