Pokémon Alola Journey VOL. 1

(I don't own Pokémon. I only own my OCs.)

Chapter 1: Alola! Enter Kaito and Buizel!

"Hm..." There were rustling on a bed as a boy was trying to keep the sunlight away from his blue eyes. He hid his head under the pillow to keep the blinding light away from his face. This boy had black medium, and layered hair, but his bangs were silver, making him look a bit... stylish. He even had a bandage on his nose, which made it look like his nose was actually broken.

It wasn't actually broken as the boy only put it on for an unknown reason. But, what seemed special about his face was that he had black, parallel marks on his cheeks, as if they were his birthmark. He was about to get comfortable until the door quietly opened, a small girl coming in. She had black, smooth hair that reached her shoulders.

She looked more like a cute and innocent girl with a shy personality as she quietly walked over to the big bed. Unlike the boy in bed, she didn't have any birthmark, which made her look a bit different to the boy. The little girl sweetly smiled before placing her hands on the boy's shoulders as she shook them to wake him up.

"Big brother? Wake up... The sun is up." The girl said, catching the older brother's attention as he looked to see his little sister trying to wake him up. "Ngh... Just five more minutes, Shiho..." The boy groaned as he tried to keep the pillow on top of his head. The little sister, now known as Shiho pouted a little, before she shook her big brother even more.

"But you said we would go to the beach today before you go to the Pokémon School, remember? You promised." Shiho protested as her gently shaking was starting to become a bit rough, catching the older brother's attention once again as he sighed under his pillow.

"I know... But your big brother had swam all night at the ocean, so my body needs a lot of rest... So, could you please wait until tomorrow?" The boy asked weakly, leaving Shiho to blink, before she frowned. She sighed, before giving off a sad look on her face, which the older brother noticed as he turned his body to lay his back on the bed to smile at his little sister.

"Shiho... I'm sorry... But your big brother had something important to do with the Water Pokémon at the beach last night, so that left me tired... Okay?" The boy asked gently, as he stroked Shiho's chin, causing the little sister to giggle and smile happily at her big brother. Before she could respond however, someone else came in the room running as the figure jumped up high in the air!

"WAKE UP, BIG BRO! It's beach time, remember!?" The little boy screamed as he landed on the older brother's stomach hard, causing him to yell in pain and turn pale at the sudden surprise. Shiho let out a small shriek before she turned to the culprit of her big brother turning pale. "Oh... Seita! Big brother needs to rest from last night!" Shiho said annoyingly.

She stuck her tongue out at her second older brother, who was older than her, but younger than her eldest brother. The energetic boy, now known as Seita grinned sheepishly. He scratched the back of his spiky black hair, before he turned his forest-green eyes to his still pale brother, who struggled to breathe, due to the surprise he had taken from his stomach.

"Ngh... *cough* *cough*... Urgh! Seita, you little brat! You!" The older brother coughed, as he grabbed his little brother before Seita could get away. The older brother began to tickle Seita's stomach and sides, causing him to laugh out loud, enough to wake up the whole house! "AHHHHH! NO! NO! NOT THERE, BIG BRO! NO! NO! NO! AH HA HA HA HA!" Seita screamed while laughing.

"Take this, you little shrimp! This is for waking me up in a very unfriendly way!" The older brother smirked as he kept tickling his little brother. "No! No! Ah ha ha ha ha! I promise...! Ah ha ha! I promise... I won't do it again! I promise, big bro! Please!" Seita struggled to say as he tried to resist his older brother's rough tickling.

Finally, after a few seconds passed, the tickling stopped as Seita laid on his brother's lap, panting from all the tickling he had to resist. "Hah... Hah... Big bro... Kaito..." Seita panted as the oldest brother, now known as Kaito smiled at his little brother's grin. Before he could say anything, someone else came to his room! It was a Pokémon that looked like an orange sea weasel.

The Pokémon grinned at seeing Kaito, before he said his good morning to the oldest brother. "Bui! Bui Bui!" Buizel cried happily as he licked Kaito's cheek affectionately, before nuzzling it, as the oldest brother laughed a little. "Ha ha! Good morning to you too, Buizel..." Kaito said as he hugged his Pokémon brother and partner.

The two of them were very close to each other as they had became friends two years ago. You could say... that their bond was unbreakable, like some people that are close to their Pokémon.

After the two released each other, Kaito smiled, seeing his two siblings and his partner smiling at him together. He sighed, before giving off a small sigh. "You know what... I guess we could go out for a little bit... before I head to school." Kaito said, turning to both Shiho and Seita, as the two widened their eyes in hope and joy. "REALLY!?" The two cried out together.

"Really." it was all Kaito needed to say to confirm his answer as his two younger siblings cheered for their brother's changed decision as the two ran out of his room, both wanting to prepare for the beach. As they were soon gone, Kaito sighed, before he turned to his Water Type partner, rubbing his orange furry head with a smile on his face.

The Sea Weasel Pokémon grinned at the touch as his human brother got off of his bed. "Welp... Looks like it's beach time before school time... Right, Buizel?" Kaito said as he began to stretch, causing the Sea Weasel Pokémon to nod with a grin. "Bui bui!" Buizel said in agreement.

While they prepared to head for the beach, what they didn't know, was that they would meet a new face today... Someone that would become their best friend and companion in Alola.

(Opening End)

At the Melemele Island beach, a boy was riding on a Sharpedo, with a yellow mouse looking Pokémon on his shoulder. This boy had came all the way from the Kanto region, alongside with his partner and best friend, Pikachu! This boy's name... was Ash. Right now, the two of them were enjoying their time riding on Sharpedo, who was one of the Pokémon for the Alola Pokémon Jet-ski!

"Alright! Woo hoo! This is awesome!" Ash cried out happily as he turned to his Electric Type partner, who was hanging onto his left shoulder. "Right, Pikachu!?" Ash exclaimed, which Pikachu agreed on. "Pikachu!" The Mouse Pokémon said happily, as the two laughed together, both believing that this was fun, indeed.

Suddenly, something else splashed out of the water, startling the Kanto trainer and his Electric Type starter. "Whoa!?" "Pika!?" The two cried out together as another Sharpedo came out, with someone else riding on it. "Ha ha ha... What are you two so startled about? It's just me and Umbreon!" The boy laughed, as he noticed the looks on both Ash and Pikachu's face.

"Um! Umbreon!" said Umbreon as she giggled at Ash and Pikachu's reaction to their appearance. At seeing the boy, Ash gave a small pout, by puffing his cheeks out. "Come on, big bro... It wasn't funny! We were wondering where you two went!" Ash said, complaining about Isamu and Umbreon's sudden disappearance underwater.

"Ha ha... Sorry about that. But still... You and Pikachu looked really surprised back there." Isamu said, teasing his little brother again. Pouting still, the little brother turned to Sharpedo, asking him to speed up. "Alright... Full throttle, Sharpedo!" Ash said, allowing the evolved Water-Dark Type to dive under the ocean again.

At seeing his little brother dive under again, Isamu sighed, before he turned to his Sharpedo, asking the same thing to him. "Okay... If that's how you want it... follow them, Sharpedo!" Isamu called, allowing his ride to follow his little brother and Pikachu. Before they dived under, Isamu turned to his Dark Type Pokémon, giving her the warning to hold her breath.

"Hold your breath, Umbreon." Isamu said, which Umbreon understood with a nod. "Bre!" Umbreon said, as she took a deep breath, in time before Sharpedo dove under water, swimming after Ash and Pikachu. Once the two brothers were underwater together, they watched the underwater scenery around them as it looked beautiful to them.

There were colorful corals, and underwater plants. Plus, there were lots of Water Type Pokémon around here, especially the ones they had never seen before! Isamu watched as he took notice of many Alolan Pokémon. There were one that looked like a water spider. There was another one that seemed to be small and lonely, until its friends came to it.

Before the older brother could look around more with Umbreon, he felt Ash tapping on his shoulder as the little brother pointed to a Pokémon that looked like a black slug with small purple spikes! Isamu blinked in surprise as he watched his little brother poke the Pokémon, only for it to react by giving off a sudden peace sign to both him and Pikachu!

The two brothers, Pikachu, and Umbreon were all startled by this as Ash grinned, before giving the peace sign back. However, Pikachu seemed to be out of breath as he struggled to swim up to the surface. Seeing Pikachu go up made the Ketchum brothers and Umbreon all remember that they needed air again, as the two signaled their Sharpedos to go up, which they did so.

As soon as they reached the surface, the Ketchum brothers and their starters took deep breaths, before they shook the water off of their face as something shot out of the water, right in front of the little brother and Pikachu! It seemed to be a colorful piranha as Ash and Pikachu yelped in surprise, as Isamu widened his eyes at the sudden apprance of the Alolan Pokémon.

He watched as his little brother teetered and tottered, while trying to keep himself on Sharpedo, until he fell into the water, causing Isamu to widen his eyes in worry. "What... Hey, Ash!?" "Umbre!? Umbreon!?" Both Isamu and Umbreon cried together in worry as they watched bubbles coming out of the surface, signaling that Ash was coming up.

After a few seconds, the little brother gasped as he swam over to Sharpedo, holding onto its left fin for safety. "Hah... Hah... Made it, buddy... bro..." Ash said weakly as the older brother sighed in relief. "Idiot... Don't scare me like that again." Isamu said annoyingly, as the evolved Dark Type just smiled at the little brother being safe from drowning.

While she and Isamu were relieved of Ash's safety, the two heard small laughter coming from ahead of them as they turned to see a blue-haired girl giggling, while a blue sea lion looking Pokémon laughed happily, patting its fins together in joy, as it seemed to have enjoyed seeing the little brother fall and then come back up.

The two were riding on a Lapras, with the girl looking like she was fishing for fun. At seeing the two laugh, Isamu smiled a little, before he chuckled along, while Umbreon giggled along.

Recovering from his little shock, Ash noticed his older brother and the girl laughing with Umbreon and the sea lion Pokémon as he laughed along, believing himself to be funny, too, especially with the act that he had done.

Later...

After saying their goodbye to the girl and the Pokémon named Popplio, the Ketchum brothers headed back to the beach shore, where they gave their life jackets back to the young woman that was caring for the Water Pokémon Jet-Ski.

"The famous Alola Water Pokémon Jet-Ski! So, what did you two think?" The woman asked as Ash grinned at the attraction. "Man... It was super fun! What did you think, big bro?" Ash said, before turning to Isamu, who smiled at his little brother's excited expression. "It's just as you said, Ash. It really was super fun." Isamu said, saying his true comment.

"Um! Umbreon!" "Pika! Pikachu!" Even Umbreon and Pikachu seemed to have enjoyed their time with the underwater jet-ski attraction. "Great! Come back again soon, you two!" The woman said as the two brothers nodded together, promising to do so. "Right! We will!" The Ketchum brothers said in unison, before they looked at each other and laughed.

"Thanks for the ride, you two. You both did great!" Isamu said, thanking the two Sharpedos as they smiled in thanks to the older brother.

Meanwhile...

"Yay! It's the beach!" Seita cheered out loud as he ran to the ocean water for some fun. The little brother of Kaito had sky-blue swim trunks, since light colors were his favorite. As Seita ran to the ocean water, Shiho tried to follow, as she complained about Seita's rush to the water.

"Wait, Seita! Jeez... You could at least slow down for me!" Shiho cried, as she ran after her older brother. The little sister of Kaito had a turquoise one-piece swimsuit, as mixed colors were her favorite.

For Kaito, as he watched his two siblings run off, he began to stretch, with Buizel at his side, as the two began to stretch before they could go to the water. Kaito wore an orange swim trunks with light-blue stripes at the side, which made it look similar to a Buizel swim trunks. While the two were stretching together, Kaito noticed someone coming to them.

He turned his attention to see a black-red kitten looking Pokémon smiling at both him and Buizel. "Litten? Hey there, little guy. How are you?" Kaito said as he crouched down, stroking Litten's chin, causing the little Fire Type to purr happily as Buizel greeted the Fire Type with a smile, which Litten greeted back with a small mewl.

The Fire Type gave Kaito a lick on the cheek in affection before it yawned a little, as it laid down on the warm sand. Kaito smiled as he watched the Fire Type groom itself as he rubbed Buizel's head this time, much to his joy. "Well then... shall we join Shiho and Seita now?" Kaito asked, which Buizel nodded, confirming his answer. "Bui bui!" Buizel cried with a smile.

But, before the two could even take a step, they heard someone running towards them as they both turned to see who was coming! It wasn't just one person, but two! And there were two Pokémon running alongside with them! It was Ash and Isamu, along with Pikachu and Umbreon! The four of them looked like they were having a race together, as they all looked serious for victory.

"You won't beat me, Pikachu and Umbreon! That includes you, big bro!" Ash yelled as he tried to run faster. "That's what you think, little brother!" Isamu smirked as both he and Umbreon picked up speed, passing both Ash and Pikachu! Noticing this, the Electric Type picked up speed, as it was neck to neck with the older brother and his Dark Type partner!

"AHHHH!" Ash screamed as he tried to pick up speed, while shutting his eyes. In fact, he was running so fast that he didn't notice Kaito or Litten in his way! As the little brother ran, he stomped on Litten's tail, causing the Fire Type to scream in pain. By the time Ash heard Litten's cry, he smashed right into Kaito, knocking him and himself onto the sand!

"WHOA!" "GAH!" The two boys yelled out loud as they crashed into the sand, causing Isamu, Pikachu, and Umbreon to stop as they widened their eyes to see the crashing scene occur. "Ash!?" "Pika Pika!?" "Bui bui!?" "Umb!?" Isamu, Pikachu, Buizel, and Umbreon all gasped, as the dust cleared to show the two boys lying on the sand, with Ash lying on top of Kaito.

The Alola boy groaned as the Kanto trainer tried to get up as he realized on what he did as he quickly sat up, apologizing to both Kaito and Litten. "Ah! Sorry!" Ash gasped, only for his apology to come too late. Angry that his human brother was hurt, Buizel jumped and froze the little brother's head with an Ice Punch attack, much to his shock as he shook by the cold.

Litten followed Buizel as it blasted Ash out of the ice with Ember, only for some of the power to get in his face as Ash fell down, unconscious by the double attack! "Gah!? Oh man..." Ash groaned as he fell down, his face looking like it had a quick sunburn. Isamu blinked in surprise before he face palmed with a sigh, as Umbreon shook her head, sighing as well.

Kaito on the other hand, recovered enough to see that both Buizel and Litten had attacked Ash, as he shook his head, while struggling to stand up. "Hey... You okay?" Isamu asked as he held out a hand for Kaito to grab onto, which he did as the Alola boy stood up, with Isamu's help. "Ngh... Yeah... I guess..." Kaito said as he turned to see Ash twitching by the burn.

Pikachu ran over to see if his friend was alright as he flinched by the burn on Ash's face. Buizel folded his arms and turned away, while Litten walked off, annoyed with the little brother as Isamu helped his little brother up now, giving him enough time to recover from the double attack. "Ugh..." Ash groaned as Kaito frowned.

"Is he... going to be okay?" Kaito asked as Isamu sheepishly smiled. "Yes. He should be fine later on. Sorry about what happened just now." Isamu said, making his apology as the Alola boy shook his head with a smile. "No, no... it's fine. You two looked like you were having a blast racing each other." Kaito said, assuring to Isamu that he was fine.

The older brother nodded as he helped his little brother walk as the Ketchum brothers were soon out of sight, along with both of their Pokémon partners. As soon as they were gone, Buizel licked Kaito's cheek, showing his worry to his human brother. "Bu? Bu bui?" Buizel asked in concern, as Kaito smiled back in assurance.

"Yeah. I'm fine, Buizel. But thanks for asking." Kaito said, as he looked to see where the Ketchum brothers had disappeared to. He gave a sigh, before he stretched his arms again. "But that guy... he sure looked pretty energetic." Kaito said, talking about Ash as Buizel gave a small smile, knowing what his human brother meant by that.

To Ash and Isamu...

"Hey, Mom! We're back!" Ash cried, as he and Isamu ran to reunite with Delia and Mr. Mime (Mimey). "Hope you two had fun out there!" Delia said with a giggle as Isamu nodded with a small smile on his face. "You could say that, Mom..." Isamu said as his little brother explained with full details about the underwater jet-ski activity.

"Sure did! We went diving with the Sharpedo and we both saw lots of Pokémon that we've never seen before!" Ash explained excitedly. As he talked, both Pikachu and Umbreon showed face expressions of the Pokémon that they've seen underwater, as Isamu added the part where they had a little accident with Kaito.

"After that, we were running until we had a bit of an accident with someone..." Isamu said, startling Delia as she widened her eyes in worry. "Oh my!? What happened?" Delia asked as Isamu explained. "The four of us were running in a race, when..." Isamu started as the little brother finished it off. "When I stepped on a Pokémon's tail, and I ended up crashing into someone..." Ash finished nervously.

"Oh dear! Is that person alright?" Delia asked in worry as Isamu sighed, before smiling calmly. "Yeah... He said he was okay. No other problems, I guess..." Isamu said, as his mother sighed in relief. The little brother nervously nodded in agreement as Pikachu and Umbreon felt nervous as well, despite the situation earlier being solved.

"Oh, thank goodness... I'm glad... Anyways, we have Mimey to thank for winning the tickets for our Alola vacation! Thank you very much, Mimey!" Delia said happily, as the Ketchum brothers smiled in agreement. They remembered on how they were lucky to have their Alola vacation... thanks to Mr. Mime winning the Pallet Town drawing prize.

It was how they got the tickets for the Alola region, and the reason why they were here in the first place. "I was even lucky that the Pokémon League even let me take a week off... They said that my Pokémon and I needed to take a long rest from all that battling we had to do..." Isamu said with a sigh as his mother smiled, agreeing with her eldest son's words.

"And they were right! We haven't been able to spend some time together as a family, with you being the Johto Champion." Delia said with a giggle, as Ash sadly smiled. "I kind of feel bad for the others right now... Minato... Hikaru... Takeru... and Yuki, too. With them being the Champions of their home regions, I don't think any of them could take a small break even right now." Ash sighed out loud.

"Pika Pika..." "Umbreon." The two starters understood what Ash meant as Delia smiled, before she got up, finishing her break with Mr. Mime. "So! Shall we change and get going?" Delia asked, confusing the little brother. "Where to, Mom?" Ash asked, letting his older brother to explain. "Where else? To Prof. Oak's cousin, remember? The Pokémon Egg request?" Isamu answered, catching Ash's attention.

"Right! I forgot!" Ash exclaimed, as he remembered on what they needed to do for the Professor.

Flashback

Before their trip to Alola, the Ketchum family met up with Prof. Oak, as they explained their vacation plan to him, which made him happy as he needed the Ketchum family to do something for him. "Mm... Yes, this will work out just fine! I was worried on how I was going to get this to my cousin in the Alola region! Now, I'm not!" Prof. Oak said in relief.

He took out a small case, which was revealed to be a Pokemon Egg! At seeing the Egg, the Ketchum brothers widened their eyes at the Egg in amazement as their Pokémon were amazed to see the Egg, too. "Wow... An Egg! What kind of Pokémon is it?" Ash asked, leaving the Kanto Professor to smile at the question.

"You'll just have to wait for it to hatch to find out!" Prof. Oak said, as he handed the case to Isamu, who gently took it in his arms. "Oh man..." Ash said, his curiosity growing stronger. "Count on us! Well get it there!" said Delia, as she assured to Prof. Oak that everything would be fine with them.

Flashback End

Meanwhile...

After their fun at the beach, Kaito dropped his siblings back at home, allowing him to change back into his original clothes. For his usual attire, Kaito wore black shorts, a white t-shirt with a Pokeball sign on it, and a thin, blue vest. He even wore orange fingerless gloves, in case if he were to be coerced into a battle that he didn't want to be a part of.

Usually, at the Pokémon School, the teacher and the principal called him the 'Water Charmer', because for some reason... Whenever he meets a Water Type Pokémon around the Alola region, they immediately become friendly with him, with some taking time, and some immediately grow affectionate around him. Kaito found this strange, while everyone else found this amazing.

At hearing or seeing this, they believed that the Alola boy had some sort of special talent or ability to make a Water Type Pokémon be friendly to him that easily. Kaito denied this, however, as he believed it could be for another reason, as he didn't find that reason yet.

But for now, he had other things to do right now, like heading for the Pokémon School to meet up with his friends and classmates so that they could listen to their teacher's lectures and learn more about the Alola region and the Pokémon that lives here. Before going there, he wanted to pick some fresh fruits and berries for the Pokémon and the students at the school, so that they would all enjoy it later on today.

As he carefully looked at the fruits, he felt Buizel tugging on his shorts, catching his attention. "What is it, Buizel?" Kaito asked, as the Sea Weasel Pokémon pointed to what caught his attention. "Bui! Bu bu bui!" Buizel cried, as he pointed to an incoming Pokémon Taxi coming up. The Alola boy looked closely to see who was on the taxi, as he wished his eyes.

"Hey... It's the two brothers with their Pikachu and Umbreon!" Kaito said, causing the Sea Weasel Pokémon to sigh. The first time they had encountered the two brothers was not a pleasant time as it was bit of more like... an unexpected meeting.

The two watched as the two brothers got off with their mother and Mr. Mime, as Delia walked up to a market booth to see which fruit would be the best to take home, back to the Kanto region. "Mm... It's so hard to make a decision." Delia said as Isamu walked up to her left. Both he and Umbreon took notice of all the delicious looking fruits, as they also found it hard to choose.

"If this were like choosing a starter Pokémon for a new journey, then of course it would be a difficult decision to make..." Isamu said with a sigh as he picked up two fruits, unsure on which was the best. But for Ash, the little brother was more interested on seeing more of the Alola region, and to know more about the Pokémon living here!

"Wow..." Ash said, looking around. It was at the same time Kaito and Buizel approached the two, greeting the two once more. "Hey there." Kaito said, catching Ash's attention. The little brother turned to see the Alola boy greeting him as he knew who Kaito was. "Ah! You're... You're that guy that I bumped into earlier..." Ash said, remembering on how the small accident occurred.

"Ah ha ha... Sorry about what happened earlier. I guess, I kinda wasn't watching where I was going, huh." Ash said, apologizing to the Alola boy, similar to what his older brother did. "Pika Pikachu..." Pikachu said, making his apology as well. "No, no, it's fine. Your brother said the same thing to me, too. Really." Kaito said, as he assured to the two that it was fine now.

With the apology accepted and done, Ash smiled at the Alola boy, before making his introduction. "I'm Ash! And this is my partner, Pikachu! And the guy that you met is my older brother, Isamu! We came here from the Kanto region to make a visit to the Alola region!" Ash explained brightly. "Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu said, making his introduction as well.

"Kanto, huh? No wonder... You two didn't look like you were from here. I'm Kaito. And this is my partner, Buizel." Kaito said with a smile, before he introduced himself and his Pokémon brother. "Bui Bui! Bui!" Buizel said, saying his words to both Ash and Pikachu. At the introduction, the little brother blinked, before he looked a bit closer to both Kaito and Buizel.

"Hold on... Now that I'm looking at you both closely... You kind of... look like a Buizel with those cheeks of yours." Ash said, giving off a nervous smile, causing the Alola boy to blink, before he sighed. "Thought you might say that. It's actually my birthmark. I was born having these parallel marks, making people often think that I was half-Buizel and half-human." Kaito said, remembering the day he was born.

"I get it... Heh heh... I think it's kinda cool, if you put it that way." Ash said, complimenting Kaito as the Alola boy smiled. "You think?" Kaito asked simply as Buizel and Pikachu smiled at their trainers getting along with each other. But just before one of them could talk again, something popped out near them, catching the little brother by surprise.

"Whoa!" Ash yelped as he looked to see what it was. It was a Pokémon, that looked some kind of bug with small pincers, enough to pinch someone's nose very hard. "It's a Pokémon! So cool! I wonder what its name is!" Ash said, taking a closer look at the Bug Type, as the Alola boy widened his eyes as he tried to warn his new friend about the danger of that Pokémon.

"Ash, keep away from it! That Pokémon is a Grubbin! Get too close to it and it'll..." Kaito started, as his warning came too late. Before he could even finish, Grubbin grew annoyed with the human boy getting too close to him as he used his pincers to pinch Ash's nose, causing the little brother to yelp in pain, causing him to jump up high.

"...It'll pinch your nose..." Kaito groaned as he face palmed, as the Bug Type finally released Ash's nose. It fell back underground, digging for an escape. But, the little brother glared at where it was going, as he felt annoyed for his nose being pinched. But at the same time, he felt determined to capture it at the same time to learn more about this Pokémon.

"Okay! Let's catch it, Pikachu!" Ash said, his determination growing large. "Pika!" said Pikachu as the two ran after Grubbin, much to both Kaito and Buizel's protest. "Ash, wait!" "Bui bui!" They cried out loud before they ran after the two, as they had forgotten about the fruits and berries they were going to buy for the School!

While the two boys and Pokémon ran after Grubbin, Delia sighed happily after smelling another one of the fresh Alolan fruits. "Mm... Ash, look!" Delia said as she turned to see her son, only fro her to discover that he was missing! Isamu also turned to see that his little brother went missing, as he sighed, before face palming.

"That Ash... he must've found something to distract himself with..." Isamu said, annoyed with his little brother's habit to run off without any warning.

Meanwhile...

"Hey! Slow down!" Ash said, as he tried to catch up to Grubbin, who dug even faster to escape faster. He and Pikachu ran after Grubbin, who led them deep into the forest! Kaito and Buizel ran after the two, both wanting to prevent any kinds of disasters that could come to their way. "Ash, wait! Not so fast!" "Bui bui!" Both cried together as they tried to catch up to their new friends.

As the chase continued on, the two boys and their Pokémon didn't notice someone else joining with the chase as this figure zipped between trees to stay out of sight.

But for Ash, he was more focused on Grubbin as he dove to catch the Bug Type, only for the Bug Type to escape again and use Dig once more! Using the Ground Type move, it dug underground to make its complete escape. Running to the hole, the Kanto trainer tried to dig the hole to find Grubbin, frustrated that the Bug Type was getting away!

The Alola boy and Buizel managed to catch up by the time Ash started digging. "Now, where did that Pokémon go!?" Ash snapped as he kept digging, causing Kaito to sigh.

"Ash, you're not going to find it like that since it probably dug underground, far from your reach." Kaito said, sweat dropping at the hole that the Kanto trainer had built up. "Yeah, but still...!" Ash said as he tried to keep digging. But before Ash could continue on, something dropped on his head, catching his attention as he looked up!

The Alola boy blinked, before he noticed a Sitrus Berry rolling on the ground, as he concluded that that must've been the thing to fall on the Kanto trainer's head. Before he could react however, something fell on his head, too! The Alola boy gave a small yelp as he caught the object that bounced off of his head.

It was another Sitrus Berry as the Alola boy looked up. There seemed to be nothing above them, which left both him and Ash confused. They looked around as the Kanto trainer stood up, finally recognizing the place they were in. "Huh? Where are we?" Ash asked, looking around. As he asked, both Buizel and Pikachu began to eat the Sitrus Berries that fell, as they enjoyed the taste of it.

"I don't know... Looks like we were running without knowing where this is." Kaito said as he carefully looked around. The Kanto trainer sweat dropped a little, before he sighed. "Looks like it... Man... That's too bad." Ash said as he remembered on what he needed to do. Recalling of why he was here in the first place, the Kanto trainer remembered the reason why he was out in the first place.

"Oh well... Where are we supposed to take that Egg again?" Ash asked, catching the Alola boy's attention. "A Pokémon Egg? Where is it?" Kaito asked as Ash smiled. "Oh! My mom has it with her, along with my older brother! I think they should be..." Ash started as he was interrupted by a long moaning in the forest.

Both boys remained stiff as they slowly looked around to see if someone was around. Buizel frowned at this as he felt a bit frightened at this moaning. Pikachu remained curious, while Kaito felt cautious. Ash on the other hand, knew what it could possibly be. "A Pokémon!" Ash said, as his prediction was correct.

Out of the rustling bushes, a big, pink and sweet looking Pokémon appeared, yawning from the small nap it took. "Oh wow!" Ash said, pointing at the Pokémon excitedly, as Kaito blinked in surprise. "It's a Bewear..." Kaito said, sweat dropping from his forehead. Buizel felt nervous as both he and his human brother knew what a Bewear could really do, despite of it looking either sweet or cute.

But the Kanto trainer and his Electric Type didn't know this as they walked up to the waving Bewear. "Ha ha! It's waving! You sure are cute!" Ash laughed as he walked closer to it. But at that moment, Bewear's expression looked dark as it let out a loud screech, startling the two boys and their starter Pokémon.

Before any of them could move, the evolved Normal-Fighting Type smashed a tree down, leaving the Kanto trainer and Pikachu stiff and shocked at the same time! But for Kaito, he knew what he had to do. "Wha... Now what?!" Ash gulped as Bewear smashed more trees, like it was going berserk! It then screamed out loud, like it was either upset or angry!

"Now is the time... TO RUN!" Kaito yelled as he pulled Ash away, before he ran off, causing the Kanto trainer to run as well! Pikachu and Buizel followed as they ran alongside with their trainers, both shocked and scared at the same time Bewear screamed as the chase was on! "AHHHH! MOVE IT!" Ash screamed as he ran as fast as he could.

The two boys ran with all their might to escape the screaming Pokémon, as Bewear smashed more of the trees to get them out of its way! They kept running until they all realized that Bewear had stopped chasing after them. Before they had stopped, the Alola boy had noticed a shadowy figure passing through a tree, fast enough to prevent Kaito from knowing who the figure was.

"What...?" Kaito started as Ash panted, exhausted with all the running he had to do. "Huff... Huff... What's up with that?" Ash asked as the Alola boy explained. "Bewear might look friendly, but it's actually cautious and extremely dangerous, like the part where you saw it going berserk..." Kaito said, as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

"Oh..." That left the Kanto trainer to understand as he nervously chuckled a little, before he saw something flying up! He looked up, to see someone riding on a Charizard! "What's that...? A Charizard? Must be an Air Ride Pokémon! That's awesome!" Ash said, as another excited feeling came up to him, causing the Alola boy to sigh.

"What's with the sudden determination? It's like he completely forgotten on what just happened earlier, despite of it being a life risk situation... I guess this is what it means to be... ignorant of the past." Kaito thought with a groan as he opened his eyes to see Ash already running after the Charizard with Pikachu!

"HEY! YOU CAN'T JUST LEAVE US HERE! WAIT UP!" Kaito snapped out loud as he ran after the two once more, with Buizel at his side again. "Bui bui..." The Sea Weasel Pokémon sighed, as he understood his human brother's possible thoughts and annoyance to the Kanto trainer and his Electric Type partner.

As the boys ran to follow the Charizard, they stopped to see a large area of some sort, which seemed to be either a large school! There were trainers and students chatting around, while having fun with their Pokémon! There seemed to be lots of them as the sight of it left the two Kanto residents excited, as Kaito walked up besides them.

"You like it? This is my school: the Pokémon School!" Kaito explained, catching the Kanto trainer by surprise. "Huh?! You mean... this is the place!?" Ash exclaimed as he looked at the buildings of the school. He then turned his attention to see a girl with a white hat, standing with three Alolan Pokémon, one of them being a Popplio.

Excited at seeing the new Pokémon, Ash climbed over the school fence so he could meet the new Pokémon. "Whoa! So many Pokémon!" Ash exclaimed as he tried to run to them, until both Kaito and the girl tried to stop him from moving. "No! Look out!" "Ash, move out of the way!" The two cried out together, startling the Kanto trainer as he felt rumbling close by!

He turned to his left to see a trio of Tauros charging to his way! Three people were riding on them, as it looked like they were having a race! Gritting his teeth in a bit of annoyance, Kaito jumped over the fence and attempted to push his new friend out of the way. "Argh! Don't just stand there, Ash! Move!" Kaito said as he tried to push the shocked Ash away.

But it was futile as the Tauros were already in front of the two boys! They trampled on both Ash and Kaito, causing them both to yell in pain. "WAAAAHHH!" "AAAARRRRRGHHH!" Their screams shocked the three riders and the girl as the green haired girl pulled Tauros back to stop the race. "Stop! Stop it, Tauros! Come on!" The green haired girl shrieked in surprise.

Pikachu and Buizel ran to their beaten trainers as they were worried for their condition. "Pika Pi!?" "Bui!? Bu bui!?" The two cried out in concern as the girl ran over to them in worry as well. "Ah! Are you two alright!?" The girl asked as Ash groaned, before getting up, as the Alola boy did the same, before dusting himself off.

"Uh... Uh, yeah! Actually, I'm good at dealing with Tauros! You see, I've caught some!" Ash explained with a grin as the Alola boy twitched his eyes. "You're lucky then, since this isn't new to you... It's new to me, though... Ngh..." Kaito said, as he groaned in pain. "Bui bui" Buizel said as he tried to comfort his human brother, catching the girl's surprise.

"Kaito? Is that you?" The girl asked as the Alola boy looked at the girl with the hat. "Eh? Oh... Ha ha... Hey, Lillie. Bet you're surprised to see me like this." Kaito said as he dusted his hair off, causing Lillie to smile. "You really did surprise me there... I never thought you would get hurt in something like this..." Lillie said, until she felt something touching her!

She shrieked as it turned out to be a Tauros touching her as she got behind Ash's back, surprising Ash. Then, when she noticed Pikachu besides her, she shrieked again, stumbling back as the Kanto trainer frowned, suspicious at her strange behavior.

"Hey... You're kind of acting like you're scared of Pokémon." Ash said, as Kaito smirked at his confusion. "That's because she is, Ash. This is Lillie, one of my classmates and the most intelligent student in my class. She likes Pokémon, but she's kind of scared of them for some reason." Kaito said, as Lillie glared at the Alola boy, as she pouted at his claim.

"I am not scared! I love Pokémon... at least, from a research point of view." Lillie said as the three riders came back, meeting up with the three. "I'm sorry! You came out of the forest so quickly like that... I couldn't stop!" The green-haired girl said nervously, as she said her apology, which the Alola boy frowned at.

"Mallow... You were a few feet away when you could've told Tauros to stop, which you didn't..." Kaito said annoyingly, causing the green-haired girl named Mallow to smile nervously at her classmate. "I'm sorry... No need to get so angry about it, Kai." Mallow said, startling Ash as he gave a glance to the annoyed Alola boy as he asked.

"Kai?" Ash repeated in confusion, leaving Kaito to sigh. "My nickname... That's what she and the others gave me." Kaito said bitterly as the chubby one smirked. "Hey, Kaito! I see that you showed your new friend that Lillie can't even touch Pokémon!" The chubby boy said teasingly, as Lillie pouted at his teasing, before she denied it once more.

"I can touch them! Theoretically, that is! If I really, really wanted to... I'd just choose not to!" Lillie said annoyingly as Kaito sighed, before shrugging his shoulders. "Whatever you say, Lillie. And Sophocles, I didn't show him anything, okay?" Kaito said, as the chubby boy, named Sophocles smirked, before giving a small nod to him.

"Whatever you say, Kaito!" Sophocles said as he led the Tauros away. "Don't worry! Don't get all frustrated and one day, you'll be able to... If you want." Mallow said, comforting the shy girl as the blue-haired girl agreed this time. "That's right!" The girl said as Ash blinked in surprise. He pointed at the girl, recognizing her from the beach!

"Ah! You! I saw you at the ocean fishing!" Ash said, causing the girl to remember. "For Bruxish!" The girl said, as Kaito smiled. "I see that you met Lan-Lan, huh, Ash?" Kaito said, leaving the blue-haired girl to pout at her friend. "Kai! Please don't call me that! You know that it's Lana." Lana said, as she gave a small blush to the nickname Kaito had given her.

"Sorry, sorry..." said Kaito as he made his apology. "You know this guy?" Mallow asked Lana, as the Kanto trainer explained. "I'm Ash Ketchum! I came from Pallet Town in the Kanto region! And this is my good buddy Pikachu! Nice to meet you!" Ash explained, as he gave a grin at his introduction. "Pika Pika!" Pikachu said as the Kanto trainer turned to see the School around him.

"So... This place... is this really the Pokémon School?" Ash asked, looking around as Mallow smiled, before making her answer. "That's right!" Mallow said as the Kanto trainer widened his eyes, amazed at this. "I've heard of the Pokémon School! Wow... Som this is it!" Ash exclaimed as the green-haired girl smiled, believing that she knew what Ash wanted.

"I guess you must've gotten lost!" Mallow said with a chuckle as the Kanto trainer let out a nervous laugh. "I'll show you around! You coming, Kai?" Mallow said, annoying the Alola boy as he sighed. "Sure..." Kaito said as he and Mallow led Ash to the school inside. As the green-haired girl dragged Ash inside, the Pokémon sitting on her shoulder let out a sweet aroma!

The aroma made Pikachu and Buizel both feel relaxed as they sighed happily in content. "Come on! This way!" Mallow said, as the Kanto trainer showed his displeasure of being dragged around. "Hey... You don't have to pull so hard!" Ash said, which Mallow ignored as the small tour of the school began for Ash.

Once they were inside, the Kanto trainer was immediately amazed of what he was seeing. He ran around, taking a close look at the Pokémon skeletons. "What's that!? So cool! Awesome!" Ash laughed as he ran around, excited to be in such a great place as Kaito smiled. "Energetic and determined, huh?..." Kaito said, as he noticed Ash's excitement around the Pokémon School.

The Kanto trainer then ran to the window as he noticed two boys playing a ball game with a Primeape and Machamp as all four of them showed teamwork to each other, leaving both Ash and Pikachu even more amazed as they had sparkles in their eyes. "This is great! Where am I again?" Ash asked dreamily, as Mallow giggled at his question.

Kaito sweat dropped, seeing how excited Ash was, as he changed his mind about his determination. "He's on cloud nine, huh..." muttered the Alola boy. "Bui..." Buizel said as he said the same about Pikachu. "Didn't Kaito tell you? It's the Pokémon School! It's a place where Pokémon and students all study together!" Mallow explained with a giggle.

The Alola boy shook his head as he regained his smile, as the three trainers walked up to a door, which seemed to be the prinicpal's door as Mallow knocked on it to call someone. "Principal, sir? I brought a new student!" Mallow called, shocking both Kaito and Ash as the Kanto trainer tried to correct Mallow that he was just a newcomer to the Alola region.

"A new student!? N-no no no no!" Ash yelped, as he flailed his arms desperately to stop her. But before Mallow could react, the door opened, revealing Isamu coming out with Delia and Mr. Mime! "Ash! You finally made it!" Delia said happily as she felt happy to see her youngest son again. "About time, little bro." Isamu said with a small smile on his face.

"Big bro!? And Mom, too!" Ash gasped as his family stepped out to the hallway, greeting their youngest family member. Kaito blinked, recognizing the boy that he met before at the beach. Isamu recognized him too, as he smiled at the Alola boy. Before the Alola boy could speak up, the principal came out, greeting the Kanto trainer.

"Alola, Ash! Welcome to the Pokémon School! Ho Solrock and roll!" The principal said, as he made a Lunatone face expression. The little brother widened his eyes in surprise as he believed this man to be the Kanto Professor. "Professor Oak!? What are you doing here!?" Ash yelped in surprise, only to make the principal laugh at his shock.

"Ha ha ha! People tell me we look alike! I guess that's why you recognize me! The name's Samson Oak!" Principal Oak said with a grin, as Kaito sighed. "He's the principal of the Pokémon School, and the cousin of Professor Oak of the Kanto region, if you recall, Ash." Isamu said, making his younger brother finally understand.

"Hm hm! Nice to meet you!" Principal Oak laughed as he made a Trapinch expression, while using his hands to make a Trapinch mouth, causing both Ash and Kaito to sweat drop at the principal's actions. "Uh huh... Nice to meet you, too..." Ash said nervously, while the Alola boy sighed.

"This won't be the only time you see Principal Oak doing this, Ash..." Kaito said, folding his arms. "Bui bui. Bui." Buizel agreed, as he folded his arms, too.
