![]() ![]() It had been so long since he’d been to the Eastern regions – he’d forgotten how soon kids considered themselves independent there. It’s better to have a goal, you know?”Īgain, Kukui found himself approving of the argument, even if he had to squash the urge to roll his eyes in exasperation. Here, if I can’t study here, I’d really just be taking an even longer vacation. It’s not like the other regions I’ve been to, where there’s a league to compete in. “I wanted to check with Principal Oak to see whether I could enrol here first. “I haven’t told her yet,” he admitted, while Pikachu pulled back in an amazing mimic of Ash’s suddenly contrite expression. “And what does your mother think of all this?” As a researcher, he always approved of people wanting to learn more about pokemon, and as someone who studied moves, he especially approved of battle trainers looking to expand their horizons. “Y’see, I want to be a Pokemon Master, and that means I need to learn everything I can about pokemon from all over the world! And that’s why I want to enrol in this school! Just for a year or so.” “That’s okay! There’s still heaps to learn, even if I never see them again!” he said happily, then pulled back a little, reigning in his enthusiasm to explain. “I can’t say I blame you, but you should know that even most Alolans go their whole lives without seeing any of the Guardian Spirits. “There’s so much I still want to see! The Z-moves, and I want to see a Trial! And the Guardian Pokemon, like Tapu Koko and the others! I want to meet them all!” But Alola is so amazing – a weekend hasn’t been nearly long enough!” he said, spreading his arms while Pikachu enthusiastically gestured and cheered along. “I thought you were just here on vacation.” “I actually wanted to ask about enrolling.” “About that…” he said, lifting a hand to the back of his head. “I didn’t expect to see you back here again.” You could almost think he’d been using it his whole life. Ash seemed to have latched on to the word much better than most tourists – he didn’t have the slightly patronising edge you usually heard when foreigners tried to mimic local language. His shoulders jerked, and then he turned, eyebrows rising curiously. The pikachu he’d had out all day yesterday was perched on top of his hat and looking equally lost, staring in the opposite direction of wherever Ash turned his head. “Where was the Principal’s office again…?” he was muttering quietly. He was still considering it the next morning, when he wandered onto school grounds only to find Ash standing in the courtyard and staring up at the main building. There weren’t enough battle trainers that lived on Alola to justify it, but he figured that if he sold it like that Battle Frontier thing… maybe… maybe competitors had to be alumni of multiple leagues… maybe they had to have achieved a certain rank in each of them… But he did have plans – the moment he had approval to begin building Alola’s Pokemon League, he was absolutely going to invite him back to take part. ![]() Honestly, after Ash and his mother had waved goodbye to Principal Oak and the other students, Kukui hadn’t expected to see the boy again. ← Previous Work Part 13 of The 48: Pokemon Next Work →Ĭast as Family, Platonic Teacher-Student Relationships, Best Fics From Across The Multiverse, Recommended Fics to Reread, i may not be a bottom but these are my tops, Paris Rereads, International Fanworks Day 2022 - Classic Fic Recs, ✧ Favourite Fanfictions ✧, Best Worldbuilding, i have a crippling fanfiction obsession, ✨Done✨, Alicia's idea of good fics, H_B_I's Fav fics, Fanfics I Wish Were Canon 3000, Fanfiction Masterpieces, Fics To Save, Why.(°ロ°) !
