A Journey in Alola

by Bad Luck Andrew

Four regions, three Pokemon leagues, and a top-two finish? That's a hard feat that 16-year-old Ethan has accomplished. Soon, his older brother buys them tickets to the Alolan region to start another journey. Ethan accepts, however, he has some ideas of his own. When his plan backfires and things get out of control, it's up to Ethan to overcome this and have things return to normal.

5. Pokegear Call

(Johto)

A pokegear began to ring. A woman appeared and answered it.

"Hello?" the lady asked. A picture soon came on and she saw it was her son.

"Hi, Mom!" Ethan exclaimed.

"Hi sweetie how are you?"

"I'm doing alright."

"And happy birthday to you."

"Thanks, Mom."

"It sounds loud where you are. Where in the world are you?"

"Actually I'm flying over to Johto right now."

"YOU ARE?!" she screamed.

"I thought Dad might've told you."

"Your father doesn't tell me shit. Now, which airport are you going to arrive?"

"Umm… We're landing in Violet City in about another 5 and a half hours."

"Ok, I'll meet you there."

"Where's Jimmy?"

"Oh umm…" Ethan shot a look through the phone. "He's going to hang out with Lyra the entire day. We didn't know you were coming."

"That bastard," Ethan thought.

"Anyways just tell him that I'm coming over and I'd like him to be there." Ethan hung up the phone.

"What do I do?" his mother thought. She knew Ethan was pissed hearing that Jimmy and Lyra were together. He never really liked Lyra. Even though she knew this, she asked if both would like to come and surprise Ethan.

"That little shit? Nah just leave him to you" Jimmy stammered.

"He's your brother Jimmy" his mother replied.

"I don't care just tell him he can come to us. I'd rather not leave Lyra's house."

"Fine" his mother muttered. She went to her room to get ready to pick up Ethan.

"What do you have against your brother?" Lyra asked.

"I don't want to upset the kid," Jimmy replied.

"What happened?"

"He recently came in 2nd in the Sinnoh League Finals"

"Really?! That's awesome."

"But I'm afraid if he sees me he's gonna get upset because we recently had an incident happen between us and I beat him to get to the Johto League finals a few years back and it would repeat in his head."

"It's fine. Go see him."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes and I'll be there with ya."

"Thanks, Lyra."

"Your welcome."

The story's finally getting there. It'll get better (I hope you guys think so too). Despite everything, hopefully, this turns out much better in the future.

Have a good day ~ Bad Luck Andrew
