After two weeks of staying in the Johto region, Ethan went to see Professor Elm.
"Hi, Professor," Ethan said.
"Here to retrieve your Riolu I believe?"
"Yes. And can you give the rest of my Pokémon to Professor Rowan? He wants to investigate the Johto Pokémon."
"Alrighty, I'll do it." He contacted Rowan and placed the Pokeball on the machine. Then Elm received a Pokeball.
"Ok kid here's your Riolu. And it also grew while I studied it."
"Ok thanks, Professor. And are you ready for Alola tomorrow?"
"Yes. I'm very thankful for the ticket. Unfortunately, I can only stay the week. Then I have to return to work."
"It's alright Professor. At least you get to get out of the lab."
"That's true. See you in Alola Ethan."
"I'll see you there Professor." After the talk, he started walking to the airport in Violet City. It was only an hour and a half walk while his flight doesn't leave for another 4 hours.
"This time I'll make sure to get there early" Ethan murmured.
He stopped at Cherrygrove City to fill up on supplies for Alola. All he needed was his backpack and he could go on another adventure with his brother. After stocking up on supplies he noticed some Team Rocket Grunts stockpiling by the beach. They were even in the ocean on a boat.
"Even though they haven't done anything yet, I can't let them continue on," Ethan said to himself. "At least, I don't think they've done anything so far."
"Alright, Riolu, come on out." The Pokémon smiled at him.
"Wait what move set does Riolu have?" He checked on his pokegear. The pokegear readout:
"Riolu knows the moves Quick Attack, Endure, Force Palm, and Reversal."
"Jeez, how long has dad had this?" Ethan questioned. "Oh well good enough for me."
"Riolu you see those guys with the R on their shirt? Let's kick their asses!"
"The Pokémon cried happily and they both ran over to the beach. As they got closer Ethan saw that they were poaching wild Pokémon. Then he noticed them cornering a baby Lugia. The Lugia wasn't even as tall as the Grunts were.
"So this is the offspring of the two big Lugias' we killed?" asked one of the grunts.
"Pretty sure it is" another responded.
"Let's take him to the boss along with its dead parents." Then out of nowhere, a Pokeball came flying past the grunts' faces and then the baby Lugia was caught. The grunts were caught off-guard on what just happened. Ethan used that time to save the Lugia.
"Now Riolu Quick Attack and also grab the Pokeball," shouted Ethan. The Riolu hit the grunts and they took off as soon as they got up. But the grunts in the ocean were still there. Riolu gave back the Pokeball.
"Thank Arceus Dad gave me the extra Pokeball. That was the last one I had. Come on Riolu, let's take the Lugia to the Pokémon Center." They ran to the Pokémon Center and gave it to Nurse Joy.
"This Lugia was attacked by Team Rocket when I found it" Ethan panted. "I had to capture it to save it. Please help it. And there's still more Team Rocket Grunts out there."
"I'll take it to emergency care right away" replied Nurse Joy. "And I'll call the police to deal with the –"
"No, I got it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm a Pokémon League finalist. I think I should be ok."
"I'm still going to call the cops to arrest those grunts."
"Ok, you do that then. And make sure the Lugia's ok."
"I will." Ethan soon realized he only had his Riolu with him and not his Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh or Kanto team.
"Ugh I hated the Kanto trip" he muttered under his breath. Once he got to the beach he prepared for his assault on Team Rocket. He was lucky the Grunts didn't notice what happened before.
"Riolu use Quick Attack to run on the water and then use Force Palm to sink the boats!" Ethan shouted. Riolu sank the boats and the Rocket grunts were caught by the police while swimming away.
Then, Ethan and Riolu made their way back to the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy saw Ethan and gave him back the Lugia.
"The Lugia is much better now thanks to you two" Nurse Joy told them. "And I'm sorry about the Pokémon League in the Sinnoh region.
"It's ok I'm going to try again in a different region" Ethan answered.
"Good luck" Nurse Joy replied. Ethan held the Lugia in his arms as he walked back to the beach.
Ethan brought the Lugia back to the beach to release it but soon noticed a helicopter flying over the beach with a net carrying 2 Pokémon.
"Oh no," Ethan whispered when he saw the two Pokémon being carried away in a helicopter. The baby Lugia noticed this and started crying. "I'm so sorry Lugia."
Then Riolu came to its comfort and calmed it down. The Lugia than began tugging Ethan's pants. Ethan began noticing this.
"What is it Lugia?" Ethan asked. The Lugia started rubbing its head against Ethan and he took note of it.
"So do you want to come with me?" he asked the Lugia. It seemed to understand him and nodded its head.
"Wow, first time I've ever had a legendary. Thanks, Lugia, for trusting me."

R.I.P Lugia's Parents
I don't think it's not a bad way to introduce a new member (death and maybe rushing the process). But if you guys don't just let me know. I'll see if there's a good way to change it.
Have a great day ~ Bad Luck Andrew
