Hello, this is my first fanfic, so my apologies if it isn't the best, this is just a story I came up with in my free time. This takes place after the events of Pokemon Sun and Moon, with the male protagonist. Morningsunshipping (Sun x Lillie) is in this. I don't own Pokemon. Some region names are fan made. Again, I don't own any of this but the idea of this story. Story does get kinda dark in the later chapters, so be warned.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Five years ago…

Sun was laying in his room three days after the love of his life, Lillie, left Alola for Kanto. He understood why she left, it was in a hope to save her mother, but that didn't make the pain much easier. Oddly, he was grateful for the Ultra Beast epidemic because it got his mind off of what he was feeling. Yes, he was the first ever champion of the Alolan region, but to be honest, no one in Alola was a good challenge for him. He had the power of the sun, moon, and the guardian deities of the islands, not to mention all his other Pokemon. Sure he liked Hau, and even considered himself friends with Gladion, but even they weren't a match for Sun. The Ultra Beasts were actually a good challenge but, once Sun had caught them, there was nothing for him to do.

After thirty minutes of lying he got up and looked out his window. He looked up and saw the moon and the stars shining brightly. He sighed. This sight was almost as beautiful as Lillie. Almost. He had been playing with an idea in his head for a while but he felt is was finally time to put it into action. He was aware that his P.C. was linked with all the other regions, so he had wanted to go exploring the world. But, his duty as champion required him to stay in Alola.

"Unless," Sun thought, "I sneak away at night. Write a note, explaining what I did, and naming my successor Hau, as I know he wants to. Gladion, even though was previously associated with Team Skull, was offered a job with the International Police. Perhaps he just wants to right some of the wrongs of his past. I may never understand what goes on inside his head. But I'm glad I can call him a friend."

Sun grabbed a pen and paper and wrote: "Hello everyone. This is Sun writing to you. I know, You guys are probably worried, but I'll be fine. I want to explore the world, see Johto, Hoenn, Torren (Writer speaking, if you get the reference, I love you), and any other region. But I can't do that as Alola's champion. So, I'm naming Hau as my successor. He can battle Kukui to prove he is worthy, if that is what you decide. One day I'll come back and settle down, but for now I need to explore the world, go on more adventures, help more people and bring smiles to thier faces. I love you guys, and thanks for all you have done. ~Sun"

Sun reread the letter a couple times making sure he wanted to do this. He finally put it down grabbed Primarina's pokeball, and headed for the dock.

The next morning Sun's mother read the letter aloud to everyone. Everyone was saddened that Sun hadn't stayed to say goodbye, but they also understood his reasoning. Hau was extremely saddened that both of his best friends had left in the last week. Lillie had at least let everyone know where she was going, but Sun just left. No one knew to where, and he could have be anyone in the world. He was saddened but was invigorated knowing he was the new champion. Everyone congratulated him, once he beat Kukui, though Hau felt like something was off. Maybe it was just because he hadn't beat the previous champion, he didn't know, but he understood his role.

Gladion was probably the only one who was happy to know Sun had left. Sure, he might not see Sun for years, but Sun was going out and doing what he wanted to, and Gladion felt similarly. When Looker had offered him the chance to help the world with the International Police, he jumped on the chance. He hadn't known how much fun it was to be the good guy until he met Sun, one of the many things he had to thank him for.

When he was younger, the only thing he cared about was protecting his faithful Pokemon Type: Null, though now evolved into Silvally. Now, he had helped others and felt lots of satisfaction from it. There was also what his mother had done. Maybe, he thought, I can redeem my mother and myself if I help more people.

Gladion had announced to everyone, because they were worried, that he would be stationed in Alola and only leaving if there was a really bad epidemic. Everyone was relieved to hear that knowing that another one of their friends wouldn't be leaving.
