Third Person P.O.V

It was sunrise the next day, and the ship had docked on Melemele island.

"They're here." A man on top of Melemele  island whispered to himself. "They better be prepared of what's to come. Because it ain't pretty."

-Down at the docks-

"Finally!" A brunette exclaimed.

"I wonder what exquisite tastes there are here in Alola." Cilan wondered. (A/N: *Nova* Don't ask. I have no clue. XD)

"We should register at the Pokémon Centre." Norman, May's father suggested.

"I agree. Come on." Flint, Brock's father agreed.

"Hey, wait a minute. Where's Brock?" Misty asked, looking around. Although, she was not looking for Brock, she was looking for the 'prettiest' girl there.

They spotted him on one knee proposing to a blonde-haired girl. Who just so happens to be Bonnie. She was trying her best not to order Dedenne to use nuzzle. Instead:

"Who would want to marry you?" And she walked away with a scowl on her face.

"Wow, rude much?" Dawn muttered.

On the other hand, Misty was pulling at Brock's ear.

"Couldn't you see she was too young for you?! She was barely 18!" Misty scolded while Brock was crying anime tears.

"Such a kid." Iris said. (A/N: *Nova* I don't think I had to mention her name. You guys would probably have guessed it by the phrase itself.)

"Alright, kids. We better be heading to the Pokémon Centre before all the rooms are taken." Johanna, Dawn's mom suggested.

"Yeah you're right Johanna, there's a heck lot of people here for the tournament." Drew said looking around the crowded dock.

"Alright, I think the Pokémon Centre's this way." Caroline, May's mother said as she pointed to the left.

"Then what are we waiting for! I'm starving! Let's go!" May exclaimed, and in a flash there was only a cloud of dust in her place.

"Uh...Didn't we just have breakfast?" Trip asked, confused.

"That's May for ya." Dawn said.

"She's always hungry." Misty continued.

"And she eats like a Snorlax." Drew finished.

"But she has a stomach bigger than a Munchlax." Dawn said again.

"Well, we better hurry before we get a lecture on how not to be late from May. And you know how I hate lectures."

Everyone picked up their pace at that last phrase Misty said. Seems like none of them likes lectures.

-At a café close to the docks-

Ash's gang was having a little conversation when they heard someone come in. It was Bonnie, and she had a disgusted look on her face.

"What happened, B?" Max asked.

"Ugh, someone proposed to me." She said, as she took a seat next to Max.

Max although didn't have a sign of jealousy. He was actually trying to hold back his laughter.

"Lemme guess. Brock?" Ash asked.

"Yeah. Can't he see I'm only 15?!" Bonnie asked, almost screaming the last part.

"Oh, he can't. He can only see how pretty a girl is." Max said putting a hand around Bonnie's shoulder.

"So, have you gotten a list of who are competing, Ash?" Sawyer asked, changing the subject.

"Yep. Norman, Trip, Misty, May, Iris, Dawn, Brock, Cilan and Drew are competing. Although Dawn and May are only in the contests." Ash replied.

"Hey, I heard the gym leaders from all the Regions have free entries." Trevor said.

"That's right, Trevor. Even the former champions and elites get free entries." Gary said.

"I heard that 2 of those Traitors had a mega stone and key ring." Korrina said.

"Yeah, they do. Misty and May. Although, I wonder how they got ahold of it." Alain said.

"For May, she had probably gotten it as a birthday present or she begged for 1. Norman and Caroline would get anything for her." Max answered, addressing them by their names instead of Big Sister, Mom or Dad. He is no longer related to them, so he has every right to address them by their names.

"I hope they don't threaten you to come back to them." Bonnie said.

"Oh, don't worry. Max has trained enough to defend himself. Although, I'm more worried about his family. I'm pretty sure they miss you so much Max." Ash said the last part in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, even I'm worried about them. Poor things must have travelled the world looking for me and worrying about my safety." Max replied in a sarcastic tone as well.

Then, they all burst out laughing.

"Well, we're confident you're all gonna take this tournament by storm." A familiar masculine voice said behind them.

They turned to see the owners of Aloha Café: James, Jessie and Meowth.

It's not surprising.When the Team Rocket trio heard what happened to Ash, they immediately quit the evil organization they were working for and joined Ash in Alola. They made a Café here in Alola and worked here full-time.

"Of course we are! Considering the special weapon we Alolans have." Lillie said.

"Hey, aren't you 3 competing as well?" Shauna asked.

"We aren't. But we'll be cheering on the side lines." Jessie said.

"Business has been going really well. So we'll have to be here most of the time." Meowth said.

"Well, as long as you come that's okay with us." Aria said.

The rest nodded.

"And, good luck with your performance Bonnie, Lillie and Shauna." Jessie said.

"Yeah, too bad Aria and Serena can't perform too." James said.

"I know. But we were thinking maybe you could take our place, Jessie." Serena said.

"What?" Jessie asked, surprised.

"Well, all 4 of us were supposed to do the performance together. But if all 4 can't, then there should be a substitute to take their place. Lillie's taking my place. You're experienced in performing more than Mairin. And Korrina isn't the performing type." Aria explained.

"You want me to perform in your place?" Jessie asked, not believing what she heard.

"Well, that's what we're hoping." Serena said as she looked Aria then back at Jessie.

"I'd love to!" Jessie exclaimed, excitedly.

"Great!" Aria and Serena exclaimed at the same time.

"The tournament's next week. So you 4 have a whole week to practice your performance routine." Aria said.

"Hey, I heard Palermo's gonna be there." Clemont said.

"Yeah, I know. And she'll be so surprised when we give her the news that we're pregnant." Aria said, with excitement in her voice.

"I just can't wait till the tournament!" Max said. " I can't wait to kick those Traitors' butts. And with the weapons we have... Man, I'm so psyched!"

Everyone smirked.

What they were wearing on their wrists glistened in the sun.

Z-rings.
