Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Chapter 1: Jekyll in Alola

By Dr. John Smith

Dr. Henry Jekyll sat on the boat to the Alola region. He had worked the best he could until the fateful night in Lumiose City, the things he had done after he invented his serum were unspoken of. He spoke to Professor Sycamore about getting away, and he suggested Alola. It was a series of tropical islands that he found would be his cover. Jekyll walked around his room, fearing the worst. What if he can't escape Hyde? What if Jekyll and Hyde are linked together forever? Jekyll grabbed his head in annoyance; the young man of early 30s with busy brown hair and long sideburns. He dressed rather professionally in a Victorian style suit.

"What am I to do?" Jekyll asked himself. He removed his crimson colored cravat and looked into the vanity. A version of Jekyll stared back at him, his hair more disheveled, bags under his eyes, and a devious grin on his face.

"You're pathetic Henry." Hyde spoke, his voice a deep gravely cockney compared to Jekyll's calmer, more well toned English.

"What do you know?" Jekyll shot back to his alternate personality.

Hyde laughed, "You had the best position in Lumiose City; Fame, funding, and women." Hyde chuckled, causing Jekyll to look down. "But you threw it all away after I showed up. Couldn't let me just do my thing now could you?" Hyde scolded.

"You murdered people!" Jekyll shouted to the mirror.

"And what stopped you from stopping me!?" Hyde spat back. "You could have destroyed your serum after my first night, but you kept it. Admit it Henry, you like being me." Hyde laughed as Jekyll fell back on the floor. He cupped his head in his hands.

"You're wrong. You're wrong!" Jekyll shouted. He jumped back up and noticed Hyde was gone, replaced with his reflection. "You're wrong.." Jekyll sat back on his bed, afraid of Hyde making another appearance.

A voice called over a loudspeaker. "Attention passengers, we have docked in Akala Island. Prepare to exit the boat." The voice called out. Jekyll gathered his things, gripping a small vile of blue liquid, he hummed in regret at packing the serum. Later on Jekyll exited the boat with the other passengers. He noticed a how bright it was, and a cool breeze flew through the air. He walked on through the town he ported in, not watching where he was going, he bumped into someone. "Oh my!" Jekyll shouted, falling back onto the ground. He heard the chuckle of a woman.

"Hey there pal, distracted?" A woman said; a dark skinned woman in a pink tank top an even darker pink shorts. "Here, let me hep you." She extended a hand to help him up. Jekyll stood.

"I'm so very sorry ma'am, I should have been watching where I was going.." Jekyll apologized.

"Don't worry about it. My name's Olivia, what's yours?" Olivia asked, a friendly smile on her face. Jekyll felt at ease in her presence.

"Henry. Henry… Stevenson." Jekyll lied. He didn't know how far the news of Hyde causing havoc in Kalos had gotten, and the alleged ties to Jekyll. He used his Grandpa's name as a cover.

"Well, Henry Stevenson. Welcome to Alola! I'm the Kahuna of this island, but I don't think we'd ever battle, giving you look about 30." She told him, chuckling a bit. Jekyll felt a blush creep across his face. She was being so open and friendly to him, and yet they were total strangers.

"Well, I was never one for Pokèmon Battles anyways. Too much work to do I say." He said. Olivia nodded, glancing to his brief case.

"Hey Henry, didn't you say your last name was Stevenson?" She asked curiously.

"Yes, why?" He answered, sweating a bit.

"Then why does your bag have the initials of H.J.?" She asked. Jekyll had been caught. He backed away, scared of what would happen next. Olivia got closer to him, "What are you hiding Henry?"

"Nothing!" Jekyll shouted. He bolted away from her, he ran as fast as he could. That angered Olivia as she began running after him.

"You can't get away from me Henry!" Olivia shouted, drawing closer to him. She jumped, landing on him and causing him to fall on his stomach, Olivia sitting on his back. "What are you hiding? Tell me!" She grabbed his back leg and yanked it up. Jekyll screamed in pain.

"Jekyll! My name is Henry Jekyll!" Jekyll shouted. Olivia let go.

"Henry Jekyll? That guy whose under investigation for murder in Kalos?" Olivia asked him. Jekyll nodded, hoping she would get up. She sat on his back for some time, "Why are you in Alola if you're wanted for murder?"

"Because I didn't do it! It wasn't me! Please get off!" Jekyll screamed. Olivia got up, helping Jekyll as well. "I was wanted for assisting a murderer. Mr. Edward Hyde. He killed those people in Kalos and I'm taking the fall.. I moved to Alola to get away from it, or at least try." Jekyll looked away. His plan had failed before it began. Olivia smiled, that caught Jekyll off guard.

"If you say you're innocent, you're innocent. No matter what. You got a place to stay?" She asked him. Jekyll shook his head, he hadn't gotten that far in his new life yet. "Well you do now."

"What's that now?" He asked in surprise.

"I got a spare room in Konikoni City. You can have it… Not like anyone else is gonna take it." Oliva said the last part to herself. Jekyll smiled, dusting off his coat.

"Why thank you Olivia, say now, why are you being so kind to a stranger?" He asked in genuine fashion. Olivia smiled.

"Because you look like a nice man. And I know nice men when I see them, so why don't get headed to settle you in." Olivia said, Jekyll nodded as they walked. Jekyll thought this would be nice and might keep Hyde at bay for a while.
