*Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. But good for them for making such a popular game.
After a very long, exhausting, and boring plane ride, the crew finally got off at the airport in Hau'oli City.
There, at the airport, they had someone waiting for them.
"Alola to you all," a man said. Ash and Ethan turned around to find that it was a man with a rainbow hat, opened lab coat, and buffed up.
"Alola, Professor Kukui" Ethan answered. Ash looked at Ethan in a strange way.
"Oh, this is the professor that teaches at the Pokémon School," Ethan told him.
"Oh, hi Professor." Ash finally told the professor.
"Professor Kukui, this is Ash," Ethan told the professor.
"Well a big Alola to you Ash." the Professor replied.
"Alola" Ash answered.
"Well, your brother told me about the Sinnoh League Ethan. You would make a good example here for the Pokémon School." Kukui exclaimed.
"Don't forget about Ash" Ethan told Kukui. "He has a good resume too."
"Oh really?" Kukui asked.
"Yea" Ash began.
Then he told them about the regions he's visited, the League Finals, and how he magically won a lottery and Ethan convinced him to go on a journey in Alola.
"Wow, very impressive" Kukui acknowledged.
"Hey, Ethan, tell me about your journey now," Ash chimed in.
Ash was impressed at Ethan records. Then he noticed a blonde girl standing behind the Professor.
"Who are you?" Ash asked the girl.
"Oh that's my assistant, Lillie" Kukui chipped in.
"Alola" Lillie fretted.
"Hey calm down a little. There's no one here that's gonna do anything to ya" Ethan told her.
"It's ok Lillie. She's sort of shy, so it'll take some time for her to get used to you guys" Kukui added.
"I'll try my best" Lillie answered. Ash admired her courage.
"Come on guys" Kukui finally told them all. "Let's get to my place and rest."
"Actually my family is staying at a cabin in the Hau'oli outskirts" Ethan claimed.
"My Lab is actually pretty close to the cabin you're talking about," Kukui told Ethan. "I'll show you my lab then you can go to your cabin."
"Ok. I wouldn't mind going to your lab" Ethan replied.
"It's settled" Kukui answered. "Come on Lillie lead the way."
"Ahhhh" Lillie screamed.
"What's wrong?" Ethan asked
"Nebby isn't in the bag" Lillie responded.
"What's a Nebby?" Ash asked. Ethan felt something in his bag. He opened it up to find a cloud-like pokémon inside.
"Is this Nebby?" Ethan asked Lillie while holding the cloud-like pokémon.
"Thank you" Lillie thanked. She turned to Nebby.
"Please don't go out of your bag in a place like this. Wait until we get back to the lab."
"Pew?" the pokémon cried. Then it hopped back in the bag that Lillie was holding.
"Come on guys lets go," Kukui told everyone.
"Actually" Delia chimed in. "Ash is coming with me to our cabin on the ocean shore. We still need to enjoy our little vacation." Everyone's sweat dropped.
"Ugh," Ash moaned. "Alright. I'll see you guys later."
"See ya, Ash!" Ethan yelled. Ash went with his mom to the cabin which was actually close to the cabin Ethan's family staying at.
After splitting off with Ash, Kukui went back to his lab with Ethan and Lillie following. Nebby was causing trouble along the way but it still behaved well.
Once everyone entered the lab Ethan's jaw dropped to the ground.
"Holy shit, THIS PLACE IS SO COOL!" He screamed.
"Jeez Ethan, watch your mouth" Lillie nagged.
"Haha, sorry, I got carried away" he responded. His sweat dropped too.
Lillie gave him a death stare.
"Looks like you already got along with him Lillie" Kukui laughed. She stepped away from Ethan and blankly stared at Kukui.
"Seriously why am I still even here," she thought.
"Sorry guys, this place looks absolutely amazing, but I promised I'd meet up with my family in 5 minutes. So I have to go. Keep up the nice lab Kukui. See you guys later." Ethan told them.
Then he ran off to his cabin.
"Hey guys I made it alive" he yelled when he came in. Then he saw his mom immediately run after him.
"I didn't think you were going to come at all" she cried.
"Welp I'm here now" Ethan replied.
"Hi, Ethan. Glad you could make it" Elm told Ethan.
"Hey scru-" Jimmy tried to say before getting slapped in the face by Lyra.
"I mean hey Ethan how's it going?" Jimmy asked while Lyra smiled. Ethan just stared blankly before coming back to reality.
"Uhh, I guess its fine" Ethan replied while still surprised at what just happened.
"I guess I'll be up in my room unpacking" Ethan continued.
"Okie, bye Ethan" Lyra laughed. Ethan went to his room in the cabin.
"What the hell was that for?" Jimmy asked.
"Be nice to your brother for once" Lyra told him. "Anyways it's best if you don't treat him like a little shit."
"But you didn't have to slap me!" Jimmy exclaimed.
"Haha, a reaction I guess."
"Can we just get back on vacation mode?" Jimmy asked.
"Ok," She answered.
While back in his room, Ethan pulled out his pokegear and called his Dad. He hasn't talked to him since he left Sinnoh.
"Come on pick up…" Ethan whispered. It went to voicemail. He hung up since he doesn't like leaving voicemails. Then he texted his Dad to see if he was alright. He wrote:
"Hey Dad, I was just checking up on ya. A cheesy text I know but I've been having a blast since I got back. But I only stayed in Johto for two weeks because Jimmy bought us tickets to Alola. It's a really nice place and I wish you were here. I know you have work and all so I know that's probably not going to happen. Anyways enjoy yourself ~ Ethan."
Ethan knew he didn't like the text but it was what he had to send.
He got out of his room to find that his mom was in the living room holding the week passes everyone was supposed to get.
"Everyone is gonna get one" she addressed.
"What about Ethan?" Jimmy asked.
"I already bought one for myself" Ethan responded. Then she passed the rest of the passes out.
"Ok now that everyone has them let's go traveling" She exclaimed.
"To where?" Ethan asked.
"Don't be a dumbass Ethan" Jimmy blurted. "We're traveling across Alola."
"Oh yeah." Ethan sighed. "I even bought the Arceus damn ticket too."
"Yep we're going on all four islands" his mother chimed in.
"When?" Elm asked. Ethan forgot he was there even though he invited him.
"We leave in 2 days after Ethan and Jimmy are done with the special Pokémon School event" Ethan's mom replied. "Then we have a 1-day tour on each island. The fifth day we come back and Lyra, you, and I leave. The boys are staying here for their journey."
"That's awesome" Ethan replied. "I have to tell the others."
