Ash, Delia, Mr. Mime, Pikachu, and Ethan started walking to Viridian City after having lunch together. Ethan was a bit awkward walking with his idol and his idol's mom.
Soon, he started getting used to it and tried to start a conversation.
"So Ash" Ethan coughed up. "What's going to happen with your Kalos pokémon?"
"Well, Greninja and Goodra are staying behind in Kalos while everyone else is at Professor Oak's in Pallet Town," Ash told him.
"What happened to Greninja and Goodra?"
"Goodra stayed to protect the Wetlands while Greninja stayed to watch over all of Kalos."
"That kind of sucks that they couldn't stay with ya. But at least they're doing it for the better."
"Yea," Ash muttered. Things got weird again until Mr. Mime forecasted that they were going to arrive in Viridian City in about 5 minutes.
"Alright!" Ash exclaimed.
"And we still have about an hour to spare" Ethan claimed.
"Well, I would like to get there early so we aren't late" Delia chipped in. Then she gave a look at Ash and his sweat dropped.
"What did you do?" Ethan asked.
"It's kind of a long story" Ash whispered back. "To make it short let's say I had trouble waking up." Ethan's sweat dropped.
They soon arrived at Viridian City and checked into the airport. Security was slow as usual. No one could blame them despite the recent threats around the area that Team Rocket made.
Soon, they made their way to their gate and still had 15 minutes to spare. Ethan then stood up.
"Hey, could you guys make sure not to let the plane depart before I get back. I have some important business to take care of…"
"Sure," Delia said.
"Thanks," Ethan responded. Ethan soon ran off to the bathroom and made it just in time. After he got out he heard the intercom.
"Gate F-2 is now boarding." Ethan heard his gate being called and then started sprinting back to his gate to find that Delia and Ash were about to board the plane.
Ethan fished through his bag to get the ticket out. He freaked out immediately after finding out it wasn't inside his bag. He checked his pockets and to his relief, it was in his back left pocket.
He gave it to the attendant and soon boarded.
He couldn't sit next to Ash because all the seats that were near him were taken up. So he sat away from him and sighed. He really wanted to sit next to his idol but after what's happened so far Ethan thought it was for the best.
He texted James to tell him that Ash was going to the Alola region too. Then, he shut off his pokegear and put it away.
Ethan pulled out his Nintendo DS while he waited for the captain saying to put all electronics away.
"Time to play Mario Kart."
The intercom came on as soon as the opening note of Mario Kart DS came on.
"Already?!" Ethan raged.
"Attention passengers, we forgot to load the pieces of luggage onto the plane. Please give us time to load them onto the plane and we will be on our way to Alola" the intercom announced.
"Crap, when I already turned it off" Ethan groaned.
Instead of turning the DS back on, he just went to sleep waiting for liftoff.
Ethan dozed off until the intercom came on.
"Hello passengers, this is your captain speaking. We will be departing for the Alola Region in about another minute. Please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride. We will arrive in Alola in about 24 hours" the captain announced over the intercom.
The assistant captain came over the speaker.
We would be there quicker if there wasn't a huge storm on the east coast of Kanto. But, because it is so far away from Kanto, you may experience some jet lag and we have extra bathrooms and doggy bags in case you need to use one. Please enjoy the ride."
After the long intercom talk, Ethan fell back asleep.
Ash did the same thing with Pikachu resting on his lap.
After an 8 hour nap, Ethan woke up to see him flying over Sinnoh.
He looked out the window to see where they were. They were flying over Veilstone City and he was reminded of the time he won the mega jackpot lots of times and got enough coins to get a Porygon.
He gave it to his brother because he was the reason that he even went to the game corner in the first place.
After walking up to stretch Ethan could already feel the jet lag and immediately went to the bathroom.
After he was done, he asked for a water because he had a huge headache. He got his water and chugged it down. He was not feeling good especially after the trip to the bathroom.
"How the hell did Jimmy, Mom, Lyra, and Professor Elm deal with this?" he thought to himself.
After lying back down he immediately got back up and turned around to see how Ash was holding up.
Ash was still asleep while Pikachu was talking to Mr. Mime.
"I wish I could bring you guys out but that would be a bad idea," Ethan thought. He wanted his pokémon to get some fresh air, but due to them being on a plane it wasn't such a good idea.
Ethan then ordered another water and some airplane snacks. He gobbled them all down with him chugging his water again. His headache started to fade but it was still there.
Ethan then tried to go back to sleep.
Ash woke up to the turbulence but Ethan stayed asleep. He couldn't wait to get to Alola and start his new journey and get redemption after the Kalos League Finals.
"Oh man I can't wait to get to Alola," Ash said to his mom.
"You know we still have 15 hours to go" Delia replied with her sweat dropping.
"Aww man," Ash groaned.
Ash, being the impatient person, he is couldn't wait for another 15 hours.
So, he tried to go back to sleep. Turbulence kept hitting the plane which stopped him from going back to sleep. Then the intercom turned on.
"Due to weather, we will be experiencing turbulence from time to time for the next hour. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Ugghhh" Ash moaned. He was not happy about the turbulence. Pikachu noticed this and went back to Ash.
"Thanks, Pikachu."
"Pika!" the pokémon cried. Ash then soon fell back asleep.
"Jessie, Meowth, look, the twerp is here too…" James told them.
"Jeez, your cousin wasn't lying," Jessie replied.
"It's too bad we can't do anything until the week is over" Meowth interjected.
"Ugghhh" everyone sighed. Ethan got up and started walking down the aisle and James poked him.
"Hey, Ethan could we make another deal?" James asked.
"I didn't know you guys were here? And what is it?" Ethan replied while rubbing his head.
"Can you wait until the week is over and then you can join or do we have to wait it out?"
"Unfortunately you guys have to wait it out because my mom still doesn't know about your 'jobs.'"
"Ugh, I can't handle doing anything to the twerp for a week" Jessie spat out.
"How does a week pass to anywhere in Alola and almost everything is for free sound to you guys?" Ethan replied.
"Are you serious?" the disguised Meowth asked.
"Yep. And take them before I change my mind." Ethan answered. The 3 of them swiped the tickets so fast that it took a moment before Ethan realized that they took it.
"Well you three do your thing" Ethan laughed while his sweat dropped.
After Ethan sat down, he ordered another water. He took an aspirin and chugged it down with the water.
After 5 seconds, he fell back asleep.
(Author's Note)
Another chapter down. This has been the first story I haven't scrapped after the first chapter. That could be a good sign. Just to let you know, things will finally transition to Alola next chapter.
Disclaimer #2 was because I'm new to fanfiction and I didn't want Nintendo on my ass if I didn't do a disclaimer.
