Pokemon: Chance of A Lifetime

To An Odd Beginning

~Teransu’s P.O.V

    Wearing a bored facial expression, while looking off the deck of the ship, I watched as we grew closer towards the slowly approaching Melemele Island of the Alola Region. I couldn’t help but think of what to expect when I finally return home. I’ve been gone for about a year now exploring this massive world we live in. Don’t get me wrong, It’s not like I’m returning home because I got bored or anything, It’s just I wanna-,”Oww,” I yelled suddenly being jabbed in the side by my Pokemon companion Lycan, The Lycanroc-Midnight!

“Lycan, what the heck was that for,” I said yelling at him! As I did he simply looked at me and smirked.

“What? You were looking down in the dumps, so I decided to snap you out of it,” he said laughing as he watched me rub my side in pain.

(Geez, I knew I should have put him in his Love Ball when I had the chance; I can never get any thinking space when he’s around.) 

“So, Teransu, aren’t you excited to finally be coming home after all this time,” he asked looking towards the Islands with me.

I smiled lighty looking at him then back towards the Island. “Yeah, of course, I’m really looking forward to battling some strong trainers again. (And hopefully to find someone to love.) Come on, It’s almost arrival time, let’s get our stuff together so we can go straight home,” I said heading back to my room with Lycan closely following behind me.

After about an hour of packing the boat arrived at its destination, the Melemele Island Port. Quickly stepping off the boat, I stretched with Lycan and took in that good Alolan sunlight. “Ah, nothing beats the warmth of my homeland's sun, right, Lycan,” I said beginning to walk towards my mom's house just off route one with him. 

“Yeah, I guess,” he said seemingly fatigued.

(Huh? Is something bothering him?) “What’s up, Lycan. It seems like something’s bothering you,” I said looking over towards him while continuing to walk.

“Yeah, it’s the Alola Region, we’ve been away for so long that my body isn’t used to it. Do me a favor and send me back to my ball so I can rest up,” He said.

“Oh, okay… Return,” I said quickly grabbing his ball  and returning him to it. (Well, at least I can have some peace and quiet for awhile.) 

Soon arriving at the front door of my mom's house, I quickly pulled out my keys from the side pocket of my backpack and opened the door. Looking around I found the house was empty. After looking nearly everywhere for my mother, I found a letter on the front table addressed to me.

“Huh? This is mom's handwriting,” I said slowly opening the letter and beginning to read it. 

“Dear, Teransu, my pride and joy, sorry for not being home to welcome you back. Navi's mother invited me to spend the week with her at some expensive resort in the Unova Region. I left this morning, so sorry if this all seems a little rushed. I love you honey and welcome home.” ~Mom

“So basically I get the house to myself for a week… This. Is. So. Awesome! I couldn't have asked for better odds! Thank You, Arceus,” I said yelling at the top of my lungs!

As I did, I suddenly heard the sound of one of my Pokeballs opening!

“You're a bit loud, what's gotten you so excited, Teransu,” Lykaios, my bulky Lycanroc Dusk, said quickly jumping on me and licking my face! 

“Lykaios, chill a bit,” I said lightly pushing him off me and standing. 

“Teransu, now that we're home can we go find someone to battle, you know I've been waiting for this ever since we got on that boat back in the Kanto Region,” Lykaios said excitedly wagging his tail.
