Chapter 1: Enter Sarah and Pichu

One day in a house outside of the busy city of Melemele Island, a couple was fixing up breakfast. The women who has short, brown hair and blue eyes, was wearing an apron overtop of her white shirt and her jeans. She currently wore pink slippers as well. The man who had short black hair and brown eyes was setting up the plate. "Alright honey, everythings ready." he said to her.

"Perfect James...now to get our girl up." the women said.

"And how should we get her up now, Nikki?" James questioned. Nikki chuckled and called, "Oh, Pichu~" at her command a small mouse pokemon came bounding out of the kitchen and stopped at her feet. "Pichu?" Nikki kneeled down to the Pichus' height. "Pichu, can you go get Sarah up, please?"

Pichu nodded and climbed up the stairs to Sarah's bedroom. Pichu peeked inside and saw the curtains to the room closed and a bed to the right side of it. To the left side of them room was a small desk with a computer and a desk lamp on it along with a small section for supplies and a chair. On the bed, there was a sleeping lump... her target. Pichu giggled and climbed onto the sheets before jumping on them crying, "Pichu Pichu Pichu...!" the lump let out a groan and covered her head with the pillow, "Five more minutes..." she mumbled. Pichu then climbed onto the pillow, "Pichu!" the lump turned on the side and Pichu fell on the ground. "Pichu...!"

Pichu got up with a pout, seeing he wasn't getting the target out of bed easily. Smiling mischievously and walked over to the bed... before she pounced onto the covers, "PICHU!"

"Wah!" a girl cried as she sat up in bed, seeing the giggling Pichu on its back. "Pichu Pichu Pichu..." the girl grumbled at the sight of the laughing pokemon. "Hardy Har Har, Pichu.." she grumbled before she yawned and rubbed her eyes, "Mom sent you to get me didn't she?"

Pichu nodded, "Guess breakfast is ready then, huh?"

Pichu nodded and the girl sighed, "Alright." The girl got out of bed and went into her closet; changing into her regular clothes. When she came out, she had a red shirt underneath a blue jean jacket with pockets in the front. She wore black fingerless gloves on her hands and she wore black pants with black and white sneakers on her feet. Her brown hair was placed in a ponytail since it was a bit long and she wore a pair of glasses over her blue eyes.

"Pichu, Pichu.." Pichu called from her bed before leaping off and onto the floor and standing in the doorway. "Hehe, alright I'm coming Pichu.." the girl replied with a small smile. She grabbed her Pikachu backpack off of the back of the chair and placed it on her right shoulder before heading downstairs followed by the Pichu. "Hey Sarah, honey. Enjoy your wake up call?" Nikki snickered. Sarah stuck her tongue out playfully at her mother, "You could have just called me down." she retorted.

"Then you would have just ignored us." James teased.

Sarah sighed, "True..."

"Pichu acts like a cute alarm clock for you, honey." Nikki teased. "Now come and eat. Don't wanna be hungry for your first day at the Pokemon School."

Sarah nodded and she sat at the table and James placed the plate in front of her which was a plate of bacon, eggs, a muffin and some orange juice. Sarah licked her lips before she dug into the delicious breakfast. Nikki then gave Pichu a small bowl of pokemon food. "And here's your food, Pichu dear."

"Pichu." Pichu thanked before he dug into the delicious pokemon food. Sarah chuckled at the little pokemon. "So honey, ready for your first day at the Pokemon School?" Nikki asked her daughter.

Sarah paused eating and looked at her mother, "Yeah Mom, I can't wait!" Sarah chuckled. "Maybe I'll get my first pokemon..." Sarah had always dreamt of having a pokemon partner of her own, ever since she was a little girl. Her parents has pokemon of their own, adding even more to Sarahs' desire to have a pokemon and now she was fifteen years old and ready for her first pokemon.

"Do you remember what the starter pokemon in Alola are, honey?" James asked Sarah. Sarah nodded, "Rowlet, a grass and flying type, Poppilo, a water type and Litten, a fire type."

"Good honey." James grinned.

"Pichu Pichu..!" Pichu called, jumping near the table. Nikki chuckled, "Looks like Pichu is excited for you dear." Pichu hopped into Sarah's lap with a smile, "Pichu..." Sarsh chuckled at the little mouse pokemon and rubbed his head, "Thanks Pichu..."

Nikki and James looked at each other and nodded, "You know sweetie.." Nikki trailed on.

"Yeah Mom?"

"Pichu?"

"Your father and I wanted to ask you if you wanted to take Pichu with you to the Pokemon School?" Nikki offered.

"Really?" Sarah gasped.

"Pichu?!"

"Yeah, you and Pichu have been close ever since you hatched it from a tiny egg." James replied with a smile. "So it only makes sense that Pichu gets to go with you to the Pokemon School. What do you say?"

"I say..." Sarah said, looking at the Pichu who gave her a thumbs up, "Pichu!"

Sarah laughed, "I say yes."

"Great." Nikki and James said in unison. Pichu cheered happily and climbed onto Sarahs' shoulder. "Pichu Pichu..!" Sarah chuckled as she finished her breakfast and went into the kitchen and placed her plate in the dishwasher. "Are you all set?" Nikki questioned.

"Yeah Mom, I have everything." Sarah replied with a smile.

James and Nikki grinned at her, "Alright honey, have fun at your first day." Nikki added. Sarah kissed both of her parents before she nodded, "I will." and she started walking down the path to the Pokemon School with Pichu on her shoulder. What she didn't see was a small pair of eyes looking at her from the bushes near her house. "Rrrrr..."

Alola Journey VOL 1

Sarah and Pichu were still walking down the path to the Pokemon School. Sarah turns to Pichu, "So.. ready to meet some new friends, Pichu..?" Sarah asked.

"Pichu!" Pichu replied happily. Sarah laughed and rubbed the mouse pokemon, earning a coo from him. "Hehehe, you've always been wanting attention ever since I hatched you..." Sarah said before flashing back to when she first met Pichu...

Flashback

Sarah was five years old at the time and playing in the backyard of her house in Alola. "Hahaha..." Sarah giggled to herself, running around in the yard without a care in the world. At five years old, like most children, Sarah was full of energy, ready to play for hours and hours at a time. Watching her from the house were two of her parents pokemon. Her mothers' pokemon was a Lucario while her fathers' pokemon was a Dragonite. They both instructed the pokemon to watch over Sarah while she played in yard cause, like most five years olds, Sarah had a small tendency to find trouble.

Sarah was busy rolling around in the fresh grass when something caught her eye in the bush, "Huh?" she sat up, got up and went over to the bush, "What's this?" She pulled back at the bushes and she gasped... there was a small pokemon egg in the bushes! It was yellow with a black stripe in the center. "Aww..." Sarah picked up the egg and it shook in her arms, "Shhh..." she soothed the egg and it stopped shaking, "It's alright..." she added.

Sarah came out and she entered the house, "Mommy, Daddy..!" she called. Nikki and James came down stairs at that time. "Yes honey?" Nikki asked.

"I found this pokemon egg in the bushes." Sarah said, presenting the egg to her parents. They gasped in awe at the egg "Oh dear..." Nikki gently took the egg in her arms but the egg started to shake. "Woah...!"

"Here, let me!" Sarah insisted and her mother handed the egg back to her and it stopped shaking. "Seems like the egg pefers you, Sarah." James stated. Sarah rubbed the egg gently and it glowed for a moment. "Huh? Why'd it glow?" she asked her parents.

"Eggs glow when they are close to hatching." James smiled. Sarah squealed happily, wondering what baby pokemon would hatch out of the egg. "Can I have it please..." Sarah begged her parents, giving them a pleading look.

"Well... I guess one baby pokemon isn't too much trouble.." Nikki smiled, earning a cheer from Sarah.

Soon, Sarah had the egg up in her room all wrapped up in a blanket, "Don't worry, I'm gonna take good care of you.." she cooed at the egg, rubbing it. The egg moved a little and glowed some more. Sarah couldn't wait to see what pokemon it would be.

That very next morning, Sarah was asleep next to her bed when a glow started to get into her vision, "Ugh..." she opened and rubbed her eyes to see the egg glowing brightly now... "Ooooh! MOM! DAD! THE EGG IS GLOWING!" she yelled and her parents came into her room, wearing their pajamas. "Oooh, that means its time..." James stated.

Sarah's eye shimmered with joy as the egg glowed solidly and turned into a small baby pokemon. The pokemon was a small yellow mouse with a small black lightning bolt shaped tail and small ears. "Pichu...?"

"It's a Pichu... so adorable..." Nikki cooed at the little guy. The Pichu rubbed its eyes and looked at the first thing it saw; Sarah. "Hey there... I'm Sarah." Sarah greeted gently. Pichu immediately smiled at Sarah and leaped into her arms. "Hahaha... awww..." Sarah cooed at the little guy. Nikki and James smiled at the pair. Pichu then looked at them and looked curious, "Pichu?"

Sarah looked at her parents and then at Pichu, "These are my parents, Pichu."

Pichu nodded and waved hi to the two of them, "Pichu..."

"Hi there little guy." James greeted.

"You're so cute.." Nikki added.

"Pichu.." Pichu squealed happily.

"Mom, Dad, can we keep him please... I'll take care of him and do anything you ask me to do, please, please, please...!" Sarah begged them. Nikki and James chuckled at her. "We figured you'd ask to keep the little guy." James stated.

"Yes Sarah, you can keep the little guy and take care of him." Nikki added.

"Yeah...!" Sarah cheered.

"Pichu..!"

And from that moment on Pichu became Sarah first unofficial pokemon.

Flashback Ends

Sarah and Pichu smiled at that memory as they came close to the pokemon school. "Well Pichu... there it is..." Sarah stated with a smile.

"Pichu..!"

Sarah chuckled, "Come on, let's go in." Sarah and Pichu went into the school still unaware of the pair of eyes watching them from the bushes. "Rrrr..."

Once they got into the school, they went to the classroom and saw some more students there. One was a male with red and brown hair with brown eyes and he wore shorts and sandal shoes.

Another short boy with a small white mouse pokemon on his shoulder.

Another was a girl with blue hair and he wore sandal and she was wearing blue and white pants. By her side was a small seal pokemon which I figured was a Poppilo.

Another girl had green hair and she was wearing a grey shirt and sneakers on. By her side was a Tsreena.

There was another boy who wore a red and white cap and he had a Pikachu, the evolved form of Pichu, on his shoulder along with another girl with blonde hair and she was wearing a white shirt with a small skirt and she had an Alolan Vulpix near her.

Another boy was short in size and he had orange hair. He was wearing a white shirt and by his side was a Togedemaru. And at the front of the classroom was a tall man wearing a white lab coat and hat and he was wearing glasses. "Ah, I see we have some new students here with us today." the man said. "Oh where are my manners. My name is Professor KuKui."

"I'm Sophocles and this is Togedemaru."

"I'm Lana and this is Poppilo."

"I'm Kiawe."

"I'm Sophocles and this is Togedemaru."

"And I'm Mallow and this is Tsreena."

"And I'm Lille and this is Snowy."

"Vulpix.."

Sarah and Pichu smiled at the group of friends. "Hi there, I'm Sarah and this is Pichu.." she introduced.

"Pichu." Pichu greeted.

"Welcome to the Pokemon School." Kukui stated.

"Glad to be here." Sarah replied with a grin.
