Chapter 6 Fifth Floor Part 1
When we step out of the portal, we find the sea in front of us, and behind us is a house. Lillie says, "The ocean... does that mean we're in the Alola Region?"
"That might be the case. That over there must be Professor Kukui's house! I stayed there for a long time, there's no way I'm mistaking it." I say.
So Alola is the fifth region, and the house behind us is the new house we're staying. We enter the house and find that it is not a big house. Then Professor Kukui comes in and says, "Hey there, Ash/Lillie! The name's Kukui. Good to meet you, cousin! You gotta be tired after that long trip all the way out here to Alola! You feelin' any jet lag? We sure are a long way from Kanto out here in Alola. It's still daytime out here, yeah!"
"Well, it is still the same Professor Kukui..." Lillie says and I nod.
"Welcome to Alola. Let's get move on to the next town over, cousin! Time for you to meet the Island Kahuna and get yourself a Pokémon, yeah!" Kukui says.
"So that's how we get our Starter Pokemon from Alola in this game?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure. The kahuna who lives in Iki Town is always happy to give any kid who wants to have an adventure their first Pokémon, yeah. But don't try taking on the kahuna yourself! The kahunas are crazy-strong Pokémon Trainers. They're unbeatable for folks like me and you!"
Yeah, I already beat four of them in real life already. I only use a Lycanroc to beat all three Nanu's Pokemon and use Pikachu to defeat Hapu's Mudsdale. I don't think that is going to be hard.
Then we all head to Iki Town together, and the route that we are walking doesn't have any Pokemon to let us through. But just as we arrive at Iki Town, Kukui says, "And we're here! This right here is Iki Town! This town is where folks come to worship the Pokémon that watches over Melemele Island. Tapu Koko keeps us all safe and happy, see!"
Just then, there is nobody around the area, and the Professor says, "Huh? What's goin' on here? We were supposed to meet everybody right here, yeah. Maybe they're all back there on Mahalo Trail. That's where the ruins of our guardian deity, Tapu Koko, are, yeah. Ash/Lillie! Do me a solid and go find the island kahuna! I'll wait around here to make sure we don't miss each other. The island kahuna? You can't miss him. He looks just like a kahuna!"
Wow, it's a good thing we know what Hala looks like, but when we go upstairs, we see something that shocks every one of us.
"Really? You want to go up to the ruins? I don't know what you hope to find there..." We look at each other in shock, the girl in front of us is no other than Lillie herself.
"Wait, not only do I have Serena in this game, but I also have my actual self in this game as well?" Lillie gasps in surprise.
"It probably means that your family is going to play a big part in this story..." I say. "But I wonder how Professor Ray made you to be."
When we follow the other Lillie up the stairs, we notice the other Lillie's bag is shaking. "You can't come out! We'll get in trouble if anyone sees you."
After she left, I ask, "It seems that you have a Pokemon in your bag..."
"But if Snowy is the one, I don't think we'll get in trouble..." Lillie mutters.
Just then, we find the bag pops out and a Cosmog appears, and he floats towards the bridge until it is surrounded by Spearows.
"A Cosmog!" Lillie gasps. "That's the thing in my bag?"
G-Lillie notices us and says, "H-help... Save Nebby! Those Spearow are attacking it! But...but I'm too afraid to go out there... My legs feel like they might give out..."
"Nebby?!" We exclaim in surprise, how did Professor Ray know about Nebby? And Lillie says, "How come I have become such a weak person..."
"We can think about it later." Then we try to cross the bridge to save Nebby, but Nebby use some sort of power and causes the bridge to fall. It is then Tapu Koko saved us and bring us back to the other side of the bridge. He also dropped two Sparkling stones on the ground.
"Oh... Oh, thank goodness!" G-Lillie says while hugging Nebby. "You tried using your power again...didn't you? Oh, Nebby... You know what happened last time you used it. You couldn't move for ages after that. I don't want to see you like that again! No... I shouldn't say that. I'm sorry, Nebby... I know you were trying to save me that time... And I couldn't even help you in return..."
Then Nebby notices the Sparkling Stones and Game Lillie thanks us for saving Nebby and gives us the stones, but she also asked us to keep seeing Nebby a secret.
"I still think it is out of my character..." Lillie mutters. "And the game seems like I was trying to protect Nebby from something..."
"I don't think it is out of your character, I mean... you used to act like that when you couldn't even touch Pokemon..." I say, only to be hit by Lillie.
"I'm serious, Ash." Lillie pouts.
Then we have to see the Game Lillie back to Iki Town, and we also learned that the G-Lillie is Professor Kukui's assistant. Because of the coding, the G-Lillie doesn't realize that the girlfriend by my side is the same person. Then Hala also appears and he asks about Tapu Koko. Then it is finally our time to choose our Pokemon.
"I'm picking Litten. What about you, Lillie?" I say.
"I want to try Rowlet, since Decidueye is quite cool." Lillie says.
"Sure, that's a good choice." After picking our Pokemon, we also met a rival of mine from the Alola Region, the Grandson of Hala: Hau. He wants to battle us, so we accept.
"Um... I don't really like to see Pokémon battles where Pokémon can get hurt...but I'll watch for you." When G-Lillie says that, I turn to my girlfriend, and she says, "That's not true! I like Pokemon battles!"
"Yeah..." I say, and when we battle, Hau goes for Rowlet, just as I expected, but Lillie told me that Hau used Popplio instead, I guess it is also the same with the different Starters having different teams.
After the battle, Hala notices our Sparkling Stones and he wants to borrow the stones so he can make Z Rings out of it. Then Kukui also told us that there is a festival tomorrow. And Nebby also comes out of the bag again with G-Lillie scolding. "Oh, you! Would you not try to escape the very moment that you were told not to wander off!"
When the two of us are walking back home, Lillie mutters, "Geez... what is wrong with today... first I met myself as an NPC, and suddenly I have become a weak girl who was hiding Nebby in a bag. Maybe Professor Ray should try to make you in the game as well."
"I guess there might be an NPC that is myself..." I sweatdrop a little.
Then we decide to sleep for another night, and the next day, we heard a door knock and Kukui asks us to go to Iki Town for the festival. But in front of Iki Town, we met two strange people in strange outfits.
"So this…is what they call a festival! It does look like the people are having fun… Not that they should! As though this was any time to celebrate."
"You don't have to try so hard to act like you're not interested, you know? Maybe a festival isn't so bad sometimes. The aura measurements are pretty high, too!"
"Are they? It is only thanks to the Blinding One that Alola is overflowing with such brilliance. Though the Blinding One is left in such a state now, so dark and enfeebled…"
"We've just gotta make sure the Blinding One can shine like it used to again, right! So let's get started by having a look around!"
Then the two people notice us, and the man says, "You…are likewise new to the shores of Alola. A fellow traveler from a distant land…"
Then they leave, and Lillie asks, "What the hell are those two people?"
"I don't know, but I think we should get moving." I say as we enter the town.
At the festival, we are asked to battle Hau on the stage, and Hau adds a Pichu to the team other than his Starter Pokemon. And just after the battle, we are surprised to receive the Z Power Ring.
"Does that mean we can use Z Moves now?" Lillie asks, and then Professor Kukui introduces us the Island Challenge, which is going through Trials and aiming to become the Island Champion.
And just before we leave, G-Lillie talks to us once more.
"Tapu Koko is amazing, isn't it? I hope I can meet it again someday and thank it for saving Nebby... It saved you as well, didn't it? And left you with that sparkling stone... even though you're a stranger to this place."
"Suppose it's time we get you kids home, yeah?" Kukui asks.
"Then I suppose this is good-bye..." Then G-Lillie also leaves, and we also hear some voices behind. The same two mysterious people with white suits are talking once more.
"That was a most mysterious event... A festival to celebrate drawing forth one's full power..."
"You looked like you were enjoying the show. Did you want to take part in the battles, too?"
"Don't be silly... We are here to investigate and learn."
"Yeah, what'd they call that thing? A Z-Power Ring? Its aura readings were off the chart! Do you think that's why they can control auras like that? Alola is definitely an amazing place! Let's go check the next site!"
"Even with all of our technology, we cannot control the Blinding One's light... Thus we are left with no choice but to try to stop it by force! And yet it seems that the humans of this Alola can wield powerful auras."
When we are heading home, I say, "So I wonder if you have your house in this game as well..."
"I don't think that's the case. I mean... it seems that Professor Kukui is the one who brings the game version of me home..." Lillie says. "I usually have Hobbles sending a car to bring me back..."
"You know, I'm going to bet that your mother is going to be the villain of this story..." I say, which causes Lillie to jump in shock.
"Are you serious? I mean... I'll never thought of her the same as someone like Giovanni or Lysandre..." Lillie panics. "But if that really is the case, what are we going to do?"
"Hey, don't get this seriously, I was just joking." I sigh as we head back to the house and rest.
Okay, this is going to split into two parts because the Alola Story is quite long and the fifth floor is going to have a special boss. I hope you like this chapter and the next chapter will be the continuation of the Alola Part.
