Pokemon Sun and Moon: Rays of Myth

Summary: Moon and her mom move to Alola for a change of pace since they've been having trouble with Moon's memory. They hope she'll do better in the new region. However, while there she meets people she knew from her younger years and is caught up in a race to understand the history of the legendary Pokemon in Alola.

Meeting Cousin Kuki

A/N: Thanks for the lovely reviews. I'm going to try to post this chapter soon... (This is me from the past. Lol.)

"Oof!" I grunt as something heavy lands on my stomach. Blinking, I find Meowth perched on my stomach. "Get off!"

"Mreowwww?"

I toss Mom's pokemon onto the floor and sit up. My head is killing me and I glance around. "Where am I?" I mutter, racking my brain for answers. "Uhh...MOM!?"

"Yesssssssssssssss?" comes the response.

"Where are we?" I ask, scuttling into the main room of the house.

"Oh, hun, we moved to Alola, remember?" mom replies. "Dad is staying in Kanto to get some work down while we're here for your health."

I glance at the fan on the ceiling. "Okay."

Mom claps her hands together. "Wonderful! Now, aren't you excited to meet some new Alolan Pokemon?" she exclaims.

"Yeah," I reply, grinning.

Mom chortles and puts her hands on her hips. "Of course you are hun," she picks up Meowth after the pokemon almost trips me and cuddles with it. "I wanna hurry and meet some too."

The doorbell crashes through the room and we cover our ears. "That damn bell needs to be fixed!" Mom snaps as Meowth whines and hides under the table. "...Wait, that must be Kukui. That rascal..."

I turn to the door but find it already open as a shirtless man walks in with his hands in his lab coat's pockets. "Hey there cousin!" he says with a stupidly big smile. He ruffles my hair and I pat it back into place. "Feelin' any jet lag? I bet you are!"

Mom rushes over with a now-calmed Meowth in her grasp. "Ah yes, we just got here a few hours ago and Moon unpacked a bit. How are you Professor?"

"Ooh, hey Mom! I let myself in since...I felt like it," he grins. "Anyway, just call me Kukui. Professor is to professional, hey hey." I grin.

"It's been a while since we've seen each other," he says, and slaps me hard on the back. "I haven't seen you since you were a youngin' as I was fighting in the Indigo League. Aish...those Kanto gym leaders proved to me that training is tough!" He glances around. "Oh, that reminds me. I wanna take you to see the Island Kahuna so that you can get your first pokemon, yeah! He gladly give any kid a pokemon for their first adventure yeah," Kukui says, I blink at him.

A pokemon? Me? But what if I forget their NAME? I cross my arms. "Right..."

"If that's the case," mom starts, "then get a move on Moon! Get your hat and gather your things. Move, move, move!"

I stumble into my room and frown. Now where is my stuff... Wait. Did I even BRING stuff? I dig through the boxes on the floor and find a few items that might be mine.

"Moooommmm!" I call. "Are these mine?"

She pokes her head in and nods. "Yes! But wait, those are my socks. Give 'em back."

I toss them at her and throw on the awkward red hat dad insisted fit me perfectly on our vacation last year. Wait...I remember something! I do a happy dance before stopping and staring at the ground. What...did I remember?

Shrugging, I run to the door as Kukui barges in. "C'mon cousin," he says. "I want you to see the Kahuna as soon as possible, yeah!" He pauses and gives me a thumbs up. "Stylin' hat, cousin!"

"See you later Moon," mom says, petting Meowth. "I'll clean up all the boxes. See you soon!"

Kukui slings an arm around my shoulder and grins. "Onto Iki town! Time to pick out some awesomeeeeee Pokemon!" He runs down the steps and I stagger down the steps, trying to keep up. "Now, you can't battle anyone or anything until you get a pokemon, so stick close to me, cousin," Kukui says, running full blast into the grass. I sprint after him, but even I can't keep up with his insane energy.

"P-professor wait up!" I gasp, and stumble down into a ravine.

"YOWCH!" someone yelps, and I glance over to see a kid with brown hair and a striped blue shirt underneath me. "Get up!"

I roll off and mutter an apology.

"What on earth are you DOING?" he demands, dusting grass and dirt off his clothes.

"Uhh..." I glance around, suddenly unaware of what I was doing. "Can you..." I rack my brain. "Um. A path! Yes. Help me find the path."

The boy gives me a once over before sighing and helping me to my feet. "Yeah, yeah, okay," he mutters and takes my hand to assist me in climbing out of the ravine. "This path here, right?"

I glance around before nodding. "I guess. I'm not entirely sure," I reply with a smile. "Thanks though!"

"Where are you headed?" the boy asks.

"I'm..." I pause. "I forgot."

He deadpans at me. "Right. Well, if you were on this path you're probably headed towards Iki Town," he states.

I gasp as memory hits me in the face. "YES!" I cheer and throw my arms around his neck. "Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!" I do a happy dance and the boy frowns.

"Right..." he mutters.

"What's your name?" I ask him after a moment.

"...Sun. Why?" he inquires.

I shrug. "Just askin'. Mine's—"

"THERE YOU AREEEEEEE!" a voice thunders merrily. Sun and I turn to see Kukui running through the trees. "What happened? Why are you covered in grass?"

I blink. "I forget."

Kukui smiles. "Of course you did! I bet you forgot we were going to Iki town huh," he asks and doesn't give me time to answer. "Well we are GOING TO IKI TOWN TO GET A POKEMON FROM THE KAHUNAAAAA!" He slaps Sun on the back and grins at us. "Remember now?"

I nod and Sun cringes. "Dude, I already have a pokemon."

Kukui frowns. "I forgot..."

Sun sighs and shakes his head. "I gotta go now," he says. "I have to run to another town. See ya."

With that, the brunette boy disappears.

"Moon, you ready to get your Pokemon?" Kukui grins, and pushes me through some trees before we arrive at an archway made of wood. "Do you like Litten, Popplio, or Rowlet?"

"Uhhh..."

A/N: I promise I'll try to keep Moon's memory from getting annoying. :)

Thanks for reading!
