Friends Reunited

Story
Jon, Drake, Mary, April and Typhlosion are in the middle of Iki Town.

Drake: So where to now?

April: Down Route 1 and to Hau’Oli City.

Jon: Why there again?

Mary: It’s where the port is for ships to set sail.

Jon: Ah ok.

???: Jon! JON!

Jon: Was someone calling me?

???: It’s me, Ryan! Over here!

???: Quilladin! Quill.

Jon and the others turn around and see Ryan McCrimmon and another male.

Jon: Ryan? What are you doing in Alola?

Ryan: I was on vacation. But now

'''Ryan pauses for a bit. Ryan pulls out his Normalium-Z Crystal.'''

Drake: You have the Normalium-Z!

Ryan: I’m taking the Island Challenge.

Jon: Nice, so am I. By the way, this is Drake Mary and April.

Ryan: Ryan McCrimmon.

Malcom: I’m Malcom.

April: How do you two know each other?

Ryan: We met in the Kalos Region.

Jon: If I remember correctly, it was just outside Shalour City. Or Maria, Kyle and I were when we met Ryan.

Malcom: How many crystals do you have Jon?

Jon: Only two for now.

Ryan: What do you think you guys are going to do now? Continuing the challenge obviously, but I more specifically mean right now.

Mary: We were heading to Hau’Oli city to get the boat to the next island.

Ryan: You think you could hold it off until I get the next Z-Crystal? Not that I’d want to hinder you guys, but I was just thinking since Jon and I are both doing the challenge, it would make sense to travel together. Not tha we have to do that, but it’s just an idea.

Jon: Well, we could watch you face Hala.

Ryan: Cool. The more encouragement the better in my book. And you might get a good show.

Jon: Same as always.

Jon chuckled.

Malcom: All we need to do now is find Kahuna Hala.

Ryan: Well, no time like the present. Let’s do it.

Mary: He may still be in the Pokemon Center. We did see him there before we left.

Ryan: Ok, thanks for the reminder. I still need to heal Litten.

April: We’ll wait here.

'''Jon nods and shows Ryan, Malcom and Quilladin, with Typhlosion following, to the Pokemon Center. Ryan gives his Litten to Nurse Joy.'''

Jon: So you have a Litten then.

Ryan: Yeah. Just caught it.

Jon: Nice.

'''Jon reaches for his Pokeball. He sends out a Pokémon, which turns out to be his own Litten.'''

Ryan: Ha, how funny.

Ryan smirked.

Jon: Seems to be we have got the same Pokemon again. First with Froakie and now Litten.

Jon laughs.

Ryan: Do you see Hala here?

Jon: Hmm.

Jon looks around and sees Hala talking to a trainer.

Jon: Hala!

Hala sees Jon and walks over.

Hala: Oh Jon. And who are these two?

Malcom: I’m Malcom.

Ryan: I’m Ryan McCrimmon. And.

Ryan pulls out he Normalium-Z.

Ryan: I’m taking the Island Challenge. Huh, déjà vu.

Ryan remembers showing his gym badgers to gym leaders back in Kalos.

Hala: Oh I see. So you want the next Z-Crystal then?

Ryan: Yup.

Hala. Meet me in the middle of the town when you are done here.

Hala leaves the Pokemon Center.

Malcom: Why the middle of town?

Jon: You’ll see soon enough.

'''After Litten is healed, they met with Hala in the middle of the town. Mary, Drake and April walk over.'''

Ryan: What’s up? Why are we meeting here?

Hala: You’ll be facing me in a battle to get the next Z-Crystal!

Ryan: Alright, now this is more my style! You send out your Pokemon first.

Jon (Mumbling): That’s what they all do anyway.

Hala sends out Crabrawler.

Hala: Now, who are you using?

Ryan tossed the Pokeball and Delphox pops out.

Ryan: Let’s do this!

Hala: Now, Crabhammer!

Crabrawler runs towards Delphox using Crabrawler.

Ryan: Dodge and use Hyper Beam!

Delphox jumps and fires Hyper Beam midair.

Hala: Dodge and Bulk Up!

Crabrawler dodges and uses Bulk Up and increases its attack and defence.

Ryan: Hyper Ember!

Delphox fires a hard barrage of a mix of Ember and Hyper Beam.

Hala: Crabhammer!

Crabrawler hits the ground using Crabhammer and causes a water spout to appear, connecting with Hyper Ember and cancelling it out.

Ryan: Scratch!

'''Delphox runs towards Crabrawler a paw swung back. Though it didn’t do much due to Bulk Up, at the very least Delphox landed the hit.'''

Jon: Well, that’s one hit.

Drake: Yeah.

Hala: Power-Up Punch.

'''Crabrawler runs towards Delphox using Power-Up Punch. Ryan seemed to be letting Delphox take the hit, but he had a plan. As soon as Crabrawler was close enough.'''

Delphox: Hyper Beam!

Crabrawler doesn’t have time to dodge and gets hit.

Hala: Pursuit!

Crabrawler now runs in a zig zag way towards Delphox, using Pursuit.

Ryan: Ember!

'''Delphox fires another round of Ember towards Crabrawler. Crabrawler dodges and hits Delphox with Pursuit.'''

Hala: Crabhammer, over and over!

Crabrawler uses Crabhammer and repeatedly hits Delphox, leaving Delphox panting.

Ryan: Delphox, we’re going to have to amp this up if we’re going to beat Crabrawler.

Delphox nodded.

Ryan: And know that even if you don’t beat Crabrawler, I won’t think anything less of you.

'''Delphox nods again. Delphox exploded into a ball f flame, turning into Ryan-Delphox.'''

Ryan: Hyper Ember!

The move hits Crabrawler, causing a lot of damage.

Ryan: How’s that for a surprise?

Hala: Good. But, I’ve seen it before. Now, Crabhammer!

Ryan: Hyper Beam!

R'''yan-Delphox fires the move and it hits Crabrawler. Crabrawler faints and Hala returns it and then sends out Hariyama.'''

Hala: Knock Off!

Hariyama hits Ryan-Delphox with Knock Off, causing super effective damage.

Ryan: Right, that’s enough for you right now.

Ryan returns Delphox.

Ryan: Let’s go Greninja.

Ryan sends out Greninja.

Greninja: Ninja.

Hala: A Greninja eh. Arm Thrust!

Hariyama moves towards Greninja using Arm Thrust.

Ryan: Water Pledge!

'''Greninja punched the ground and three water pillars go in Hariyama’s direction. Hariyama dodges and hits a few times with Arm Thrust, which is super effective.'''

Hala: Good work Hariyama.

Ryan: Gah! Lick!

Greninja hits with Lick.

Hala: Force Palm!

Hariyama runs towards Greninja using Force Palm.

Ryan: Double Water Pledge!

Greninja hits the ground and six water pillars head towards Hariyama.

Hala: Poison Jab!

Hariyama uses Poison Jab to cancel out the double attack.

Ryan: Quick Attack.

'''Greninja dashes towards Hariyama. The move hits.'''

Hala: Force Palm!

Hariyama runs towards Greninja using Force Palm.

Ryan: Dodge!

'''However, this was too late as the move hit. Greninja is swaying a little bit from exhaustion.'''

Hala: Poison Jab!

'''Now Ryan is starting to panic. But before he could call out a move, Greninja abruptly faints.'''

Ryan: I give! I give!

Hala: It’s not bad to call off matches. I’ll be here when you want a rematch.

Ryan: Right.

'''Soon, everyone is in the Pokemon Center. Ryan pulls Jon to the side to talk to him.'''

Ryan: I’m not staying behind. I said I was coming with you and that is what I’m doing.

Jon: Cool. Good with me. But we are going to the next Island. You going to go that far with us and then come back later on?

Ryan: If that’s what I have to do to give my friend some encouragement, yes I am.

Jon: Well, shall we get going after your Pokemon are healed?

Ryan. Yup. By the way, how’s your brother.

Jon: Nate is good. He’s travelling around Alola too.

Ryan: Cool. How are you Typhlosion?

Typhlosion: Typhlo!

Typhlosion’s flames on his neck lights up for a few seconds and then they stop.

Ryan: That’s good to hear.

It was then that Nurse Joy returned with Ryan’s Pokemon.

Ryan: Thank you. Let’s go.

Everyone begins to leave the Pokemon Center and the screen freezes.

Narrator: Jon met up with Ryan again and saw him battle Hala, however Ryan lost. Now, after Ryan wanted to travel with Jon for a while, everyone leaves the Pokemon Center and begin to head to Hau’Oli City.
