Team Skull, and meeting Kiawe and Sophocles

"Have a good day, class." said Professor Kukui. Lincoln and the other students walked out of the classroom. Lincoln heads to the slide and starts going down it.

"Man, it has been an amazing week here in the Pokemon School." said Lincoln as he continued going down the slide. "I've learned so much about Pokemon; sure, I already learned a lot from Professor Kukui's tutoring." Lincoln reaches the bottom of the slide. "I always call my family and friends back in Royal Woods, and every single time I do, Rusty always asks me to go to the beach and 'check out the babes'. After I talk to everyone in Royal Woods, I train my Pokemon."

So far, Lincoln's Litten learned Lick, Leer, and Fire Fang, his Grubbin learned String Shot, Mud-Slap, and Bite; his Pichu learned Tail Whip and Sweet Kiss, and his Rockruff learned Bite, Howl, and Rock Throw. He also spent time playing with his Pokemon to build a bond between him and them.

As Lincoln heads out the front gate, he hears the sounds of motors heading towards him; he looks and sees three motorcycles heading right towards him. Seeing they were about to hit him, he quickly leaps out of the way.

The motorcycles suddenly skid to a halt and three people; a tall teenage male with blue hair, dressed in a black sleeveless shirt with a white x-shaped pattern near the bottom of it and collar, black pants, had a black mask with a skull's upper jaw design along the top of it, a white bandana that had black eye socket designs on them, white boots, black socks, and a pendant with what looked like a metal skull emblem on it.

With him was a shorter male with dark green hair, wearing the exact same outfit as the other male. Also with them was a female with pink hair, wearing almost the same outfit, but instead of wearing black pants, she was wearing white shorts.

"Hey! Who do you think you are, getting in the way of our bikes?" demanded the blue-haired male.

"Sorry, I didn't see you coming." said Lincoln.

"Sorry isn't good enough, kid!" said the blue-haired male.

"Yeah, you tell 'im Tupp!" said the green-haired male.

"Hey, I got this, Zipp." said the blue-haired male now known as Tupp. Tupp then gets in close to Lincoln's face and stares at him. "You're gonna have to be punished for getting in our way, kid." Lincoln suddenly pinches his nose shut.

"Is having to smell your breath the punishment?" asked Lincoln, making Tupp step back.

"What's wrong with my breath?!" asked Tupp.

"It smells worse than a Grimer's." said Lincoln. "If you wear that mask to keep others from smelling it, then I'll have to tell you it's not working." The pink-haired female started to laugh a bit. Tupp looks back at her with an angry face.

"What are you laughing at, Rapp?!" Tupp asked the pink-haired female now known as Rapp.

"I have to agree with the white-haired kid about your breath." said Rapp.

"Yeah, I have to admit it makes me want to cringe whenever you say something to my face, bro." said the green-haired male now known as Zipp.

"Can we talk about my breath later?!" asked Tupp as he turns back towards Lincoln. "Right now, I want to deal with this kid and his attitude."

"Lincoln!" Mallow's voice calls out. Lincoln looks over towards the school and sees Mallow, along with Alola Lana, Lillie, Hau, and Professor Kukui running towards him.

"Watch out for those guys." said Alola Lana.

"You know these people?" asked Lincoln.

"They're Team Skull." said Hau.

"Team Skull?" replied LIncoln.

"That's right!" said Tupp. "We're Team Skull; the toughest street gang in Alola!"

"I think we're the only street gang in Alola." said Zipp.

"Quiet, he doesn't need to know that!" said Tupp. He then looks towards Lincoln. "So your name's Lincoln, huh?"

"Yeah." said Lincoln.

"Well, Lincoln; we're gonna make you pay by crushing you in a Pokemon battle!" said Tupp."And if you can beat us, we'll let you walk away."

"Yeah, but if we beat you, then we get your Pokemon!" said Zipp.

"What?!" said Lincoln.

"And don't think we'll let you get away if you try running off!" said Tupp. Lincoln looks at their motorcyles and believes they'll catch him if he did try to run.

"I'm only doing this because battling you seems like my best chance at me keeping my Pokemon." said Lincoln.

"Smart move, kid." said Tupp. Rapp suddenly steps in front of Tupp.

"Hey, Tupp; ladies first." said Rapp.

"Oh, of course." said Tupp as he steps back. Rapp takes a pokeball off her waist.

"Don't think I'll go easy on you because you're a little cute." said Rapp, making Lincoln blush a little, and Mallow frown a bit.

"Hey! Crush the kid now, flirt with him later!" said Zipp. Rapp sulks before throwing her pokeball, releasing a blue, batlike Pokemon.

"What's that Pokemon?" asked Lincoln as he pulls out his Rotom Phone and points it at the Pokemon.

"Zubat, the Bat Pokemon. It has no eyeballs, so it can't see. It checks its surroundings via the ultrasonic waves it emits from its mouth." said the Rotom Phone. Rapp looks at the Rotom Phone with interest.

"What's that?" asked Rapp.

"My Rotom Phone." said Lincoln.

"Phone? You mean you can, like, call others from anywhere with that thing?" asked Rapp.

"That's right." said Lincoln.

"I think I'll take it from you after I crush you." said Rapp.

"Don't count on it." said Lincoln as he takes out a pokeball and throws it, releasing his Pichu.

"Zubat, use Bite!" said Rapp. Zubat flies at Pichu and bites her; as it does, a surge of static electricity comes out of Pichu and covers Zubat's body, making it twitch.

"Pichu has the Static ability." said Lincoln. "Hitting her with a physical move wasn't a good idea."

"Uh oh!" said Rapp.

"Pichu, use Thunder Shock!" said Lincoln. Pichu releases a stream of electricity from her body and it hits Zubat, doing super effective damage.

"Zubat, use Absorb!" said Rapp. Zubat tries to move, but paralysis stops it.

"Pichu, hit it with one more Thunder Shock!" said Lincoln. Pichu hits Zubat with another Thunder Shock, doing enough damage to knock it out.

"NO!" shouts Rapp.

"You did it, Pichu!" said Lincoln. Pichu lets out a sigh and suddenly freezes up. "Hey, what's wrong?" Pichu suddenly starts to glow.

"Lincoln, your Pichu's evolving!" said Hau. Everyone watches as Pichu starts to change; when she finished, she was bigger, her ears were longer and skinnier, she had two brown stripes on her back, and her tail was shaped like a lightning bolt with two curves on the tip of it. Lincoln takes out his Rotom Phone and points it at his newly evolved Pichu.

"Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Its nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning." said the Rotom Phone.

"That is so awesome!" said Lincoln. "And my Rotom Phone says you learned Quick Attack, Growl, and Play Nice." Lincoln's new Pikachu looks at him and nods. Rapp sulks as she returns her Zubat to its pokeball.

"Don't think I'll forget about this." said Rapp as she tosses Lincoln some pokedollars and heads over to Tupp and Zipp. Zipp then steps forward.

"Okay, kid; let's see how you handle my Yungoos." said Zipp as he tosses a pokeball, releasing a Yungoos. Lincoln points his Rotom Phone at the Yungoos.

"Yungoos, the Loitering Pokemon. Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It's a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter." said the Rotom Phone. Lincoln returns Pikachu to her pokeball.

"You deserve a rest, Pikachu." said Lincoln. He puts Pikachu's pokeball onto his belt and pulls out another one. "Go, Litten!" He tosses Litten's pokeball and releases him.

"Why's your Litten white?" asked Zipp.

"He's a shiny Litten." replied Lincoln.

"Those are rare!" said Zipp.

"We're definitely taking that Pokemon." said Tupp.

"That Litten's cute; must take after its trainer." said Rapp, making Lincoln blush. He shakes his head, remembering that he's in the middle of a Pokemon battle.

"Litten, use Ember!" said Lincoln. Litten releases a barrage of embers from his mouth and they hit Yungoos, damaging him. Yungoos becomes covered in fire.

"No! Yungoos is burned!" said Zipp. "Yungoos, Pursuit!" Yungoos charges at Litten and rams him, but not doing much damage due to its attack strength being weakened by its burn. Yungoos flinches in pain and loses some stamina from its burn.

"Litten, use Scratch!" said Lincoln. Litten leaps at Yungoos and scratches it across the face.

"Use Sand Attack!" said Zipp. Yungoos turns around and kicks sand into Litten's eyes with its hind legs. Yungoos flinches in pain from its burn; it proved too much for Yungoos and it collapses.

"Great job, Litten." said Lincoln. Litten lets out a cheer in response. Zipp returns Yungoos to its pokeball.

"I'll get you back for this one day, kid." said Zipp. He gives Lincoln pokedollars before stomping over to Tupp and Rapp. Tupp walks towards Lincoln.

"Guess I'll have to teach this twerp some manners myself." said Tupp. He takes out a pokeball and throws it, releasing a dark gray lizard Pokemon with a black head and feet, along with red markings on its back and a red stripe going down its tail. Lincoln takes out his Rotom Phone and points it at the Pokemon.

"Salandit, the Toxic Lizard Pokemon. The males will do whatever the females tell them. They give the females most of their food. Due to malnutrition, the males can't evolve." said the Rotom Phone. Lincoln sees Litten brushing sand off his eyes and helps wipe it off. He then returns Litten to his pokeball and pulls out another one.

"Since Salandit's part fire type, I think I'll use Rockruff." said Lincoln as he throws Rockruff's pokeball and releases him from it.

"Salandit, use Poison Gas!" said Tupp. Salandit releases a stream of poison gas from its mouth towards Rockruff.

"Dodge it and use Tackle!" said Lincoln. Rockruff moves out of the toxic gas' path and runs at Salandit, ramming it.

"Salandit, use Ember!" said Tupp. Salandit releases bits of fire from its mouth and they hit Rockruff, not doing much to him.

"Rockruff can take the heat." said Lincoln. "Now Rockruff, use Rock Throw!" Rockruff summons up some rocks and launches them at Salandit, hitting it, and doing enough super effective damage to knock it out.

"Oh, come on!" said Tupp.

"Looks like I win." said Lincoln. Tupp growls as he returns his Salandit to its pokeball.

"You just got lucky, kid!" said Tupp as he tosses Lincoln pokedollars.

"Let's get out of here!" said Zipp as he and Rapp run over to their motorcycles and climb onto them..

"This isn't over!" said Tupp as he climbs onto his motorcylce and rides off with the others.

"What a bunch of jerks." said Lincoln.

"That was great!" said Mallow as she, Professor Kukui, Hau, Lillie, and Alola Lana run over to him.

"Thanks." said Lincoln. He looks down the path that Team Skull rode away down. "So, what's with them?"

"They always come around here, bullying other students into battling them." said Mallow.

"I don't like bullies." said Lincoln. All of a sudden, something flies over them and lands near the gate. Lincoln looks to see an orange, dragonlike Pokemon with two horns on its head, and a long tail with a flame on the end of it. Lincoln takes out his Rotom Phone and points it at the Pokemon.

"Charizard, the Flame Pokemon, and the fully evolved form of Charmander. When this Pokémon expels a blast of superhot fire, the red flame at the tip of its tails burns more intensely." said the Rotom Phone.

Lincoln looks at the Charizard and sees a male with dark skin, black hair with red highlights on the front and sides of it, wearing red shorts, black and red sandals, and a pendant around his neck, sitting on top of it.

With him was a small boy with orange hair, wearing a white shirt with an orange design on it that looked like an old Game Boy, a yellow collar with that had what looked like a Pikachu's tail sticking it out of it, brown pants with light orange cuffs at the bottom of the legs, a belt with a large buckle on it, and green and purple shoes with a yellow lightning bolt designs on them.

"Thanks for the lift, Kiawe." said the orange haired boy to the dark-skinned boy now known as Kiawe.

"No problem, Sophocles." said Kiawe to the boy now known as Sophocles.

"Kiawe, Sophocles; welcome back!" said Mallow to the two new boys.

"Thanks." said Kiawe.

"So how are things at your grandmother's place?" asked Alola Lana.

"Finally got that fence put in." said Kiawe.

"It sure took you a while." said Hau.

"It was a big fence." said Kiawe.

"Oh." said Hau. "So what's Sophocles doing with you?"

"I saw him heading back here from the Hokulani Observatory and decided to give him a lift." said Kiawe.

"Thanks again for that, it would've taken forever to get back here from there." said Sophocles.

"So what's been going on around here?" asked Kiawe.

"Team Skull showed up a few minutes ago." said Hau.

"Those guys again?!" said Kiawe.

"Is everyone okay?" asked Sophocles.

"Yeah." said Hau. "Lincoln here beat them all in Pokemon battles and drove them off." Kiawe and Sophocles look over at Lincoln.

"I don't remember seeing him before." said Kiawe.

"He enrolled here while you were both gone." said Mallow.

"I see." said Kiawe. He walks over to Lincoln and looks him over. "Thanks for dealing with Team Skull."

"Sure." said Lincoln.

"Let me introduce them, Lincoln." said Mallow. "The boy with the red shorts is Kiawe, and the one with the white shirt is Sophocles."

"Nice to meet you." said Lincoln.

"Thanks." said Kiawe.

"Where did you come from?" asked Sophocles. Lincoln tells them where he came from and how he ended up in Alola, surprising them.

"What is wrong with your sister?" asked Sophocles.

"She gets like that every April Fools Day." said Lincoln. "Otherwise, her pranks are pretty standard."

"Do you have other siblings besides her?" asked Kiawe.

"I have ten sisters altogether." said Lincoln, surprising Kiawe and Sophocles.

"TEN?!" replied Sophocles.

"How does one married couple have eleven kids?" asked Kiawe.

"It sounds unbelievable, but it's true." said Mallow. "We've seen them ourselves."

"How many of them are younger ones?" asked Kiawe.

"Five of them." said Lincoln.

"Do you look after them sometimes?" asked Kiawe.

"I'm always looking out for them, especially my baby sister, Lily." said Lincoln.

"I know what it's like to have to look after a younger sister." said Kiawe.

"Well, welcome to Alola, Lincoln." said Sophocles.

"Thank you." said Lincoln.

Well, Lincoln just had his first encounter with Team Skull and met two new people. What else will he experience as his Alola adventures continue?

Pokemon that Lincoln has with him: Litten (M), Grubbin (M), Pikachu (F), and Rockruff (M).

Pokemon in Lincoln's collection: Litten (M), Grubbin (M), Pikachu (F), and Rockruff (M).
