Green's POV
"Which Pokémon will you choose as your partner?"
I observed as her eyes scanned everyone of them. She looked so lost but then made a decision, "The Fire Type Litten."
Nice one. The cat which can breathe fire. She's only eleven! It could burn down her house! Okay Green, you need to stop thinking things that her mum will think. Samuel's voice shook me to reality "Will you choose Litten?" She answered with a firm yes.
"Only when you both choose each other you can truly be partners."

She and Litten turn and look deeply into the others eyes as if they were trying to guess what the other was thinking. The silence continues. The sort of awkward silence that has uncertainness in it. "Mrowr..." It mews. Bill and Samuel look worried. But our worries cease to exist when it runs up to Yellow and jumps straight into her arms.

Samuel and Bill say stuff about partners and friends for life but I'm not listening. I just keep looking at Yellow and Litten hugging, smiling - this must be one of the most happiest moments in her life. Yellow holds Litten up high, a bit like what Rafiki did with Simba in the beginning of The Pyroar King. Me and my brother used to watch that all the time.

"I'm going to call you Litty!"
I grin,"Nice to meet you, Litty!"
"Pew!" Oh... That rascal.
"When did you get out again? I know these people will keep you safe but you should still be careful and stay in the bag! It's safer that way!" I turn back round to Yellow, "I think you chose a wonderful Pokémon." Unlike a certain trouble maker. Just kidding!

Yellow gave me the brightest smile I'd ever seen,"Thanks so much, Green!"
"Yellow! Yeah! Now you're a trainer you'll need these! It's a Pokedex! It shows data on all known Pokémon in world! There is also your trainer passport! Why don't you go introduce Litty to your mum?" Bill rambled.
"Okay, I will. Come on, Litty."

??? POV
The girl looked at the Pokedex, "so, you know Tackle, Ember, Growl and Scratch." Yay! Battle time! I ran straight towards her as she was leaving Iki Town. "Hey! You and Me! Let's have a battle!" I smile. Surely she can't refuse? Gramps comes up laughing," Where's the fire? And what would be a battle when she doesn't even know your name?" Whoops! Guess I messed up.
"Fair enough. Then I'm Blue. And my partner's Rowlet! Your Litten looks really cool too!"

Her question was short and to the point,"You like Pokémon?" Obviously! And, of course, Malasadas! I locked eyes with the other girl, the one with brown hair. Is my heart meant to be beating this fast and my cheeks growing hot? There's only one answer. I'm in love. "Yeah! So let's battle! I've been looking all over for you!" She must think I'm some kind of stalker, nah, I just want a battle and a new friend!

The girl that I like spoke up, "Um... I don't like watching Pokémon get hurt but I'll watch for you." She seemed to aim that at me. I hope this works out one day. The guy - Kukui - explained to Yellow what you do in a battle. He added a 'Woo!' along with it, okay...

"I appreciate you being willing to take on my grandson here," Gramps! You're embarrassing me! He continued, "I expect a no-holds-barred battle from the both of you!" Yay! Let's do this!
"You will battle me, right? I know you will! Right?" I pushed.
A somewhat determined look appeared in her eyes, "Yeah, and I won't lose!"
"Alright! This is gonna be great!" I spoke true words. So true.
"Very well then. Let the Pokémon battle begin!"
"Go Rowlet! We'll win this! I'll buy you a sweet malasada later!" This encouraged the little guy, he takes after me. I'm proud.
"Go Litty!" Yellow shouted as she sent out the fire cat. That might be a problem, grass vs fire. Uh oh.
"Use tackle!" I will win anyway!
"Use Ember!" She commanded. Litty mewed in agreement and shot a column of flames at Rowlet. I checked my Pokedex, guess like Rowlet's down to half its health. "We can still do this! Use Leafage!" I'm too optimistic for my own good. A grass attack on a fire type? Am I some kind of idiot? Yes. I am.

"Litty! Ember again!" She commanded and Rowlet fell to the ground when it hit. I lost. A light surrounded her Litten, indicating it had gained a level of experience. I handed Yellow her well earned prize money.

"Your Litten was awesome! That settles it! I'm going all out tomorrow!" Ah, the festival.
She giggles, "I guess you're my rival now!" Something in her bag catches the light and sprays sparkles all over us. "Hm? Yellow... Would you be so kind as to give me a look at that sparkling stone you have there?" Gramps suggested.
"Okay," she handed over.
Gramps pauses in thought, "Hm... Could it be?!"
I get a flash of recognition in my brain, "Gramps, isn't that..."
"You were rescued by Tapu Koko at the bridge - isn't that right what I heard, Yellow?"
"Yeah. It rescued me and Nebby." The poor girl looks so bewildered.

"So it even deigned to give you a stone... Perhaps you are here in Alola, Yellow, because this is where you are meant to be. Allow me to borrow this stone for now. Fret not! I'll return it to you tomorrow morning." Gramps reassured her, "It would seem you have the makings of a fine Trainer. You must do us the honor of joining in our festival tomorrow!"

Kukui nodded, "First I'll make sure you get back home safe today, though, Yellow. Green, you two should come with us, too, yeah. Wouldn't want to go losing you twice in one day. You or that precious Pokémon of yours!" So that's her name, it's lovely.

"Yes... I will keep an eye on..." A Pokémon looked out at me from behind her, appearing to be giggling. "Pew!"
"Oh you! Would you not try to escape the very moment that you were told not to wander off!" Now the Pokémon is not the only thing that's laughing, we have all joined it, unaware of troubles that lie ahead...

Here's the next chapter! The next is Iki Town's Festival. Keep reading!
