Asuma: "The essence of the jade lies in protecting the people, with the advanced leading the way for the less experienced. Only then can Konoha become stronger!" Kakashi: "He's my life mentor.

A boy 16 years of age comes to the region of Alola with his mother for a fresh start in life. Alola's Island Challenge will be his very first Pokémon adventure, strange for a boy his age. He meets another boy who was also 16 and just starting his Island Challenge too, quickly becoming friends with him, and a mysterious girl who tags along with their Professor. Despite making new friends and going on an adventure, things don't stay as quiet as he is. Darkness and mysteries begin to arise as they go through their journeys together. He's learnt to trust his gut since he was younger, and some of the people he meet don't come off as nice as they look on the outside. What's going to happen throughout this adventure? He's about to find out. "...My name is..."

Two years marks the day when Gloria became champion, as well as the year she lost touch with her best friend Hop. In the time that passed, Bede and Marnie stepped up to fill Hop's vacancy while Gloria remained steadfast in her new job. Although, just when life settles for her, Hop suddenly reappears on the scene--determined more than ever to not be undermined by Bede. As they spend time with Gloria, both boys realize their feelings lie beyond friendship, and naturally a competition is reignited between them. However, there are secrets hiding beneath Gloria's surface: an accident from six years ago, a mysterious group called Project: Open Dream, and an ancient tale about the mysterious "shooting star" child, Jirachi's Twin. Hop and Bede will be forced to work side-by-side to uncover the truths without hurting Gloria more than she already is. 38 Chapters, updates Mondays, btyu & hpyu ships Content Warnings: Teenage humor, minor blood, death, action/violence, SFW romance, implications of suicide/depression, alcohol/drinking, implications of abuse, kidnapping, general angst Extra Information: Genre: Romance, Mystery Main Ships: Bede x Gloria, Hop x Gloria Implied/Minor Ships: Leon x Sonia, Nessa x Raihan, Marnie x Bede I occasionally post mini-comics for this series.
