[2] Professor Kukui's Daughter: Adventures in the Orange Islands

Pummelo Island

Ember and the gang were now riding Kaiyō and the three Blastoises on their way to Pummelo Island.

"I can't believe that I'm finally on my way to the Orange League." Ember said.

"How do you feel about it, Ember?" Zoey asked.

"Nervous and excited." Ember admitted.

"Since you told me that you entered the Indigo League a while back Ember, I take it this league will be your second one?" Tracey said.

"That's right Tracey, it is." Ember stated.

"I know that you're going to win it, Ember." Alain encouraged.

Ember smiled Alain who smiled back at her.

Chespie looked to the side and saw something, "Ches? (What's that?)" He asked.

"Sylve?" Nova looked and saw a silhouette of a Pokémon flying across the ocean water, fast.

Rotom aimed pointedly the silhouette Pokémon that took off into the sky, it scanned the Pokémon.

The image of the Pokémon appeared in full color, "[Pokémon Identified; Dragonite, the Dragon Pokémon. Type; Dragon and Flying-type.]" Rotom reported.

"A Dragonite huh?" Tracey awed at the Pokémon.

"Must belong to Drake. From what I heard, he's the only one on Pummelo Island that has a Dragonite." Alain said.

=======================

The gang then moved on to Pummelo Island. When the gang finally got to Pummelo Island, the first thing they did was go to the building where Ember had to register to enter the Orange League. The receptionist scanned Rotom and four gym badges and soon Ember was registered. Then the receptionist scanned Alain's Pokédex and four gym badges. Alain was now registered as well.

"Okay, Ember Kukui, your match is scheduled at ten o'clock in the morning at the Pummelo Stadium tomorrow. Alain Sycamore is scheduled at eleven o'clock the day after Ember's." The receptionist informed.

Ember asked the receptionist where the Pummelo Stadium was. The receptionist showed the gang the way to the Pummelo Stadium. The Pummelo Stadium stood on the top of a big hill, and it looked Roman coliseum style.

There was a domed shape building next to the Pummelo Stadium. The receptionist explained that the dome shaped building was the Orange League's Hall of Fame. Inside there were stone statues of some Pokémon, pictures of trainers with their six Pokémon and stone slates of prints from Pokémon.

"If a trainer wins the Orange League, not only would you win the winner's trophy but a photo you and your six Pokémon get to be placed in the hall of fame." The receptionist told them.

Ember got really excited of thinking about being placed in the hall of fame.

"To win the Orange League, you have to defeat our head leader, Drake, in a six-on-six Pokémon battle." The receptionist added.

Just then Tracey noticed a lot of statues of a dragon in the building.

"That's a Dragonite." Ember said.

"That's right and I must warn you, Drake owns a Dragonite." The receptionist warned.

Mairin, Cilan, Zoey and Tracey were surprised by that. Ember and Alain already knew.

"And because of Dragonite, Drake hasn't been defeated for quite a while. So Ember, Alain I wish you two good luck." The receptionist said.
