A New Companion
After leaving the Battle Royal Dome, the Eds, Sarah, and Jimmy walked east of Royal Avenue down a road and turned towards north.
"Hey!" the group hears someone calling out to them. They turned to see Professor Kukui walking over to them.
"Professor Kukui. What are you doing here?" asked Edd.
"I was...just passing through here on my way to Heahea City." replied Professor Kukui. "Anyway, I also wanted to give you, Eddy, Sarah, and Jimmy these." He reached into a brown satchel he was carrying and pulls out four Ride Pagers.
"Ride Pagers." said Jimmy.
"Yes. I want to give you Ride Pagers, so Ed's Ride Pokemon don't have to burden themselves with so many passengers." said Professor Kukui. He gives Edd, Eddy, Sarah, and Jimmy each a Ride Pager. "And there's already a Tauros, Stoutland, and Lapras registered in those Ride Pagers."
"Thanks, Professor Kukui." said Sarah.
"Well, I have to get to Heahea City." said Professor Kukui. "Good luck on your journey."
"Thanks, Professor Kukui." said Edd. Professor Kukui walks off. The group walked north of Royal Avenue and soon found themselves in Route 7.
"Well, shall we get going to Wela Volcano Park, everyone?" asked Edd.
"Yeah. I want to do my trial." said Ed.
"Me, too!" exclaimed Sarah. As the group starts to get on their way, they hear a voice calling out to them.
"Hey!" said the voice. They all turn to see the Maxiley boy they saw at the Battle Royal Dome, running towards them.
"Hey, it's one of the trainers who took on Mask Royal." said Eddy.
"Yes. Maxiley I believe it was." said Edd. He sees Maxiley getting closer to them. "Um, can we help you?" When Maxiley reaches them, he stops to catch his breath. A minute later, he looks at the group.
"I can't believe it; the famous Eds, here in Alola!" said Maxiley. "I mean, I've been hearing rumors about it, but I never thought they were true."
"Are we really that famous?" asked Edd.
"Lots of people here in Alola have seen your epic battles at the Lily of the Valley Conference." said Maxiley.
"Yeah, those battles were pretty intense." said Eddy with a grin.
"I know." said Maxiley. "I was on the edge of my seat during your match with Double-D. I mean the way that your Infernape came running out of that steam, and using Close Combat on Double-D's Empoleon was amazing."
"Yes, that was quite the battle we had." said Edd as he looked back at that match.
"And I want to have a rematch with Double-D at the Alola League." said Ed.
"It was you guys who inspired me to become a Pokemon trainer in the first place." said Maxiley.
"Really?" replied Edd.
"Yeah!" said Maxiley.
"It's nice to inspire others down a promising path." said Edd. Maxiley then notices Sarah and Jimmy.
"Who are those two?" asked Maxiley.
"This is my little sister Sarah, and her friend Jimmy." said Ed.
"Well, it's nice to meet you." said Maxiley. Sarah looks at Maxiley with a blush on her face.
"It's nice to meet you too." said Jimmy.
"So, what brings you all here to Alola?" asked Maxiley.
"We are here to compete in the Alola League." said Edd.
"Really?!" replied Maxiley.
"Yep. We were personally invited by Kahuna Hala himself to compete." said Eddy.
"A kahuna really invited you?!" asked Maxiley.
"Yeah!" said Ed.
"We already defeated him in a Grand Trial and we're on our way to Wela Volcano Park to attempt to pass the trial there." said Edd.
"Wow! Kahunas are said to be some of the toughest trainers in Alola!" said Maxiley.
"I wonder if Mask Royal is a kahuna?" asked Ed.
"Could be; he was really strong." said Maxiley.
"Perhaps you can take him on in the future?" suggested Edd.
"That's another reason I came to you." said Maxiley. "I was hoping you can take me as a protege and help me get stronger as a trainer."
"A protege?" replied Ed.
"Yeah; you guys are strong trainers." said Maxiley. "I heard you've only been trainers for over two months in Sinnoh and have become strong enough to make other trainers take notice of you."
"Well, I suppose it would be okay to help an aspiring young trainer reach new heights in his abilities." said Edd. "If it's okay with my friends here, then I don't see why you can't come along with us on our journey."
"Oh boy! A new friend to join us!" said Ed.
"I don't see why not." said Eddy.
"I wouldn't mind if you came along with us." said Sarah as he stares lovingly at Maxiley, making him blush a little.
"I like making new friends." said Jimmy.
"So, it seems we all are okay with you travelling with us." said Edd. A big smile appears on Maxiley's face.
"Hooray!" cheered Maxiley.
"Welcome to the group." said Edd. A new companion has joined the Eds. What new surprises await the group as they travel the Alola Region?
