Okay, before we get in to the chapter, I would like to request something, can you guys give me a temporary name for Ash when the tournament comes?

That's all I gotta say, and let's go in to the chapter.

__________________________

Ash's POV

2 week later...

Everything is going smoothly, I was now stronger than before, thanks to Lucario and Greninja's training everyday, while Lugia and me, also everyday, did some special training, of course I can't let them see Lugia yet, maybe this tournament, reveals will be held, also, the others are now much stronger too.

Lana's Popplio is now a magnificent Primarina, she also has a Milotic with the help of me, we caught the Milotic three days ago. And she also has a very big Wailord, the Wailord itself was requesting Lana to join her team. She also have a Gyarados, an ordinary Gyarados, but the shiny one, she caught it as a Magikarp, it is also the day we caught Milotic. Then he caught herself a Mudkip, which was abandoned by a trainer, but it is now a tough-looking Swampert, then lastly she have a Kingdra, which was found as a Horsea. Then Lana undergo them into a tough training, making them stronger for the tournament.

Lana's Team - Primarina
                         Milotic
                         Wailord
                         Gyarados (Shiny)
                         Swampert
                         Kingdra

Next is Sophocles, his Togedemaru is really really stronger than before, I think it can match Misty's Gyarados or Gary's Arcanine, but the problem is, Togedemaru is really playful, it's playfulness can cause damage to the school, which makes Sophocles busy cleaning the mess. He also caught a Charjabug, which is now a Vikavolt, he found the Charjabug just at the woods near the school, then he also have a Shinx, which is now a Luxray, Luxray is Sophocles' second ace Pokemon, first was of course, Togedemaru. Next, he caught an Electivire, because Electivire knew that Sophocles likes Electric-type pokemons, so he asked Sophocles to join the team. Next is Raichu, which before, it was a Pichu, Sophocles really trained Pichu hard then evolved it into a Pikachu, but Pikachu wants to evolve, that's why Sophocles respected Pikachu's decision and evolved it into a Raichu. And lastly, he caught a Ampharos not too long ago, he caught her as a Mareep. Just as what Lana do, he undergo them into tough training.

Sophocles' Team - Togedemaru
                                  Vikavolt
                                  Luxray
                                  Electivire
                                  Raichu
                                  Ampharos

Let's go to Mallow, she always teases Lillie about something, I don't really understand, but they kept saying my name, anyways, her Tsareena is really strong, I spar her once to my Lucario, she almost beat my Lucario, maybe  Mallow can defeated Gary and Misty's team with just her Tsareena, I mean, Tsareena is really strong, so that's what I think, anyway, moving on, she also caught a Liligant, Liligant was caught as a Petilil before, but Petilil wants to evolve and become much much stronger, that's why Mallow was forced for her to evolve. She also caught a Chikorita, and the Chikorita has also the same situation as Mudkip, Chikorita was also abandoned by her trainer, Mallow took care of a Chikorita, and it is now a fine-looking Meganium. There's a day we went to the forest, then we encountered a speedy Sewaddle, Mallow was amazed by it and wants it to be caught. But Sewaddle was really stubborn at first, but after it, Mallow gained Sewaddle's trust, and, it is now a Leavanny. Then there's this night, while walking in the forest for camping, we encountered an Eevee, but this Eevee is a rare one, to be exact, it's a shiny, and this Eevee wants to join Mallow, because I think Eevee felt that she needed a Grass Type Pokemon, and I think Eevee also wants to become a Leafeon, so Eevee joined Mallow, and soon she evolved it into a Leafeon. And then lastly, she caught Roserade, it was a Roselia before. Then she undergo them into a tough training, all of them
managed, but they want to become more stronger.

Mallow's Team : Tsareena
                              Liligant
                              Meganium
                              Leavanny
                              Leafeon (Shiny)
                              Roserade

Going on to Kiawe, he and his Turtonator are really strong, we raised Turtonator's speed because Turtonator is a large Pokemon, and now it's really strong. And then next is his Charizard, although Charizard is his ride Pokemon, Charizard asked Kiawe if he can be his official Pokemon. So Kiawe caught Charizard in a pokeball, making it his Pokemon. Then he also have an Alolan Marowak, it was a stubborn, just like Togedemaru, and a speedy one, his amazing speed can maybe match Greninja. Then he caught a Volcarona, a really rare Pokemon, it was a Larvesta when it was caught. Volcarona is really strong when it comes to fire type attacks. Then there's this Magmortar, probably the most stubborn, and the most troublesome Pokemon we owned, Magmortar shoots flames everywhere, making Kiawe having a hard time with Principal Oak and Professor Kukui. And lastly, his Blaziken, if I'm going to spar Blaziken and Greninja, they'll be matched, I think. Kiawe undergo them harsh training for the upcoming tournament. I think he's really looking forward to this.

Kiawe's Team - Turtonator
                           Charizard
                           Alolan Marowak
                           Volcarona
                           Magmortar
                           Blaziken

Then there's Lillie, since she only have Snowy the past two weeks, I helped her catch Pokemon, and I should say, we really did a good job, now, Lillie and her Snowy, which is now a magnificent and beautiful Alolan Ninetails, she really did a good job raising her Ninetails, her coat is really soft, but unfortunately, me and Lillie are the only one who can touch her, I don't know why, maybe because I helped Lillie raise her. Then next, we caught a Ralts, but to our surprise, there's two of them, and what's more surprising, they are both shinies! Lillie took the first one while I took the other. And they happily joined us! Ralts, shiny ones, are really rare here in Alola. Lillie's Ralts decided to evolve into a Gardevoir, Gardevoir is really magnificent in her blue and black features. Next is her Dragonite, a pseudo-legendary Pokemon, we caught it as a Dratini, at the lakes of Melemele, it was us while fishing then Dratini came out, Lillie decided to catch it, and succeeded. And then we caught a Flabébé, but this Flabébé isn't a normal Flabébé, it's flower is the rarest flower we've ever seen, the Flabébé was too kind to join Lillie's team, now, Flabébé is now a beautiful Florges. Then we also caught an Altaria, it was a Swablu before, but it isn't the normal blue ones, this Altaria is a shiny one, it has yellow skin. Lillie was really happy about this, this is her first time acquiring a shiny after all, well, Swablu was caught first, then next is the Ralts. And lastly, she caught a Serperior, a female one, Serperior is really smart when it comes to battling, so Serperior and Lillie is a perfect match for Pokemon battles, she caught Serperior as a Snivy, unfortunately, Snivy was also abandoned, just like Mudkip and Chikorita. Lillie doesn't undergo them harsh training, who knows? All of them keeps getting stronger everyday, I wonder what Lillie did to them, maybe grooming? And I just thought about this now, every time Lillie those, she always thank me with those red tints on her cheeks, and there's this one time, when her Snowy evolved into a Ninetails, of course, I was there, brushing Snowy's fur, and then she evolved, Lillie tackled me into a hug, and...what's that called? Lillie is calling it, a 'kiss'. I don't really understood that, but to my surprise, she demonstrated it, she leaned on me and then 'kissed' my cheek, ones she did that, my body felt numb, but it was soothing, and somehow, it feels light inside, and then about those red tints on the her cheeks, she called it a 'blush', I definitely didn't understood that.

Lillie's Team - Alolan Ninetails
                         Gardevoir (Shiny)
                         Dragonite
                         Florges (Eternal Flower)
                         Altaria (Shiny)
                         Serperior

And finally, my team, unlike from the others, mine was a bit...how do we say this...'overflowing'? It's because my team are...

(Ash's Pokemons from Kanto to Alola, but I'll upgrading them to their final evolution, but I want to add a few more😅, and also, add Lucario and Lugia here, also for the Pokemons Ash released, they went back, because I told them to.😋)

I also caught the Shiny Ralts, Ralts wants to become a Gallade, that's why I let him evolve into a Gallade. But like Lillie, I also caught myself another Ralts, and this time, I evolved it into a Gardevoir, it's also another shiny. Then next was a Dragonite, but this one is a shiny, a Violet Dratini I found at the Verdant Cavern, wants to join me. I happily accepted the beautiful request. And then I also caught a Bagon, which is now a Salamence, Salamence might come handy sometimes when it comes to travelling, Salamence sometimes go with Magmortar, making me and Kiawe getting getting scolded. I also caught a Larvitar, which is now a Tyranitar, Tyranitar is one of my Pokemon who has best defense, because Lucario is helping Tyranitar with the defense raising. Next, I caught a Deino, the troublesome Pokemon I own, it is now a Hydreigon, then I caught an Aron, which is now an Aggron, then next is a Flygon, it was a Trapinch before, Flygon can be hard-headed sometimes, but it is really gentle. And an Absol, a shiny one, the encounter was just like how I met Lucario, Absol was one of my ace Pokemon. Then a Latias, yes a Latias, she came to me, saying that she was called by the Alpha Pokemon to be my Pokemon, I can't believe it at first, but Latias reassured me by tapping her head on a pokeball, and then a Mew, but a blue one! Then I just realized, it's a shiny Mew! This is literally one of my rarest Pokemon I caught! The Mew volunteered to be caught! And also with the same as Latias' reason, order of the Alpha Pokemon.

My Team - (Ash's Pokemons from Kanto to Alola, including Lucario and Lugia.)
                  - Gallade (Shiny)
                  - Gardevoir (Shiny)
                  - Dragonite (Shiny)
                  - Salamence
                  - Tyranitar
                  - Hydreigon
                  - Flygon
                  - Absol (Shiny)
                  - Latias
                  - Mew (Shiny)

Also, all of us acquired our own Z-Rings with Z-Crystals in it, Lana acquired a Waterium-Z, Sophocles got an Electrium-Z, Mallow obtained a Grassium-Z, Kiawe received a Firium-Z, but to me and Lillie's situation, it's different, Lillie got an Icium-Z, Grassium-Z and a Dragonium-Z while me got all of them.

I also got many nicknames from the others, like, 'Z-Crystal Collector', 'Legend Master', 'Shiny Hunter', I'm not really the usual hunters they're talking about, and many more nicknames, I don't know how I got them, but I don't mind a bit.

We were now at the classroom, when Professor Kukui asked me about the tournament, wait, about the tournament, Principal Oak 'happily' accepted it.

Professor Kukui : You guys ready for the tournament?

I looked at the others, they nodded at me, then at Lillie, she gave me a cheeky smile and nodded, I kinda admit, it was kind of...cute.

Buuuuut anyway, I looked back at Professor Kukui and replied with a smirk on my faces.

Me : Professor, were so ready.

To be continued...

(A/N) School will start tomorrow, yay.

Anyway, I hope l can update daily...

~Peace Out!~
