(Pre-WE) Moving Into Melemele Range

Hau'oli City is a large commercial based city of Melemele Island. Here many resources can be found for quality of life and entertainment. Many stores sell various fashions of clothing, stores for tourists, and even a large mall stationed at the top left section of the city. The city also serves as the Island's travel hub, providing a large pier and transportation to the other islands as well as other regions. At the same time, city ordinance maintains many areas that are hospitable to wild Pokémon in order to help preserve what nature and habitats they have destroyed with zoning.

*Confirm!*
_________________________________________________________________
Steven (NPCed

Steven watched as the trainer promptly displayed the thunderstone to his pikachu after recieving it, and was about to mention not accidentally activating it without intending to, when the pikachu itself decided right then to activate the stone.

He watched the familiar evolution process he'd been used to via the stones his company worked with, knowing all-too-well what sorts of alterations to evolution certain region's were known for, as instead of the traditional Raichu he'd been used to more near his home region what appeared was it's Alolan varient.

Taking advantage of Noah's distraction, he took a glimps at his watch, and found he'd spent more time chit-chatting than he'd intended.

"Well, Noah, it's no worries, you seem like an eager trainer, and your pikachu, even more so. I hate to step out of the excitement now, but I found I'm running late, so I'm sure you can celebrate your newfound Alolan Raichu without my presence. Farewell, and good luck with those dreams of yours."

With that, he would begin walking to the door of the Poke-center, sparing a look over towards the table Mr. Ookido and Miss Tokiwa had been seated, catching a look from young lady, and possibly Green behind his glasses. With a wave towards the two, he would step out of the doors into the warm Alola climate.

___________________________________________________________________

Yellow

Just after Yellow had asked about the man Green was talking too, she heard the excitment building up from the man himself who'd been engaged in a conversation with Noah now. Curious, she turned in her seat to see what was going on, wondering if maybe his Pikachu had caused some trouble after all, but was suprised to see the Pikachu glowing and beginning it's evolution.

Yellow's look of concern quickly turned into a grin, then into a bit of awe as she realized the form of the new Raichu was far different from what she was used too.

"Green, look at that, that's not a normal Raichu!" She'd turn towards her companion for a moment to see how he might be reacting to this, though she'd of course expect he knew something of what made this Raichu unique.

Quickly though she practically turned around in her seat to watch this familiar yet unfamiliar creature, before noticing the man Green had been talking too making his exit with a wave towards them. She didn't have the time to respond to the wave before he turned and was out the door.

__________________________________________________________________

Soa Harrow

After having had enough of his fill chit-chatting with Jakkaru, he eventually felt he was beginning to reach the point of overstaying his welcome, and politely found an excuse to leave the table once more, now with having gained more information on Littens and some starter Pokémon, he'd of course made sure to share his business specs in case she'd ever be interested in a personally bred Pokémon, or was interested in adopting some of the many he had in his grounds back home.

As he began to walk towards the PC himself, he was suprised to find nothing more than a Pokémon evolving right in the middle of the Pokémon center.

"Oh, well, this is an bustling place today, isn't it Dopple?"
The ditto wiggled in the arms Soa had cupping the blob to his chest, and stared curiously at this newly forming Pokémon.

Soa's expression brightened as it became obvious what Pokémon was forming here, and he found himself quite lucky to have encountered two Alolan specific Pokémon.

He was about to approach to possibly find out more about this Alolan Raichu, after all it was unlikely to find them in the wild given the circumstances around their evolution, but it seemed the Pokémon themselves were rather preoccupied with playing amonst themselves.... and the trainer, as they were soon chasing each other around the room, Soa instead decided just for now it might be a bad time, so instead he'd handle his business at the PC before approaching the trainer.

|_Green_| (>) Hau'oli City Pokecenter

The tawny-headed man looked down at his much shorter friend, seemingly not unlike a shades-wearing older brother taking his little sister on holiday. At least not appearing to be himself to those who weren't intimately familiar with him. He gave a quirked smile, erasing the dour fluctuations of his warning to the Devonite.

"Steven Stone. Former Champion of Hoenn's League. Just a small greeting between contemporaries. He was also servicing the machines here."

He would have continued - not much, he wasn't a chatterbox - but his and Yellow's attention was pulled off and away towards the light of evolution. As he usually did when witnessing the scene, Green whipped out a small device and began measuring the energy levels and wavelength combinations of the evolution - even an iota more data was always progress, the mechanics of evolution were always a mystery to humanity, after all.

Through the event he didn't take his eyes off of the ball of light as it shifted from Pikachu into Raichu. As expected from science journals, the commonly-expected Kantoan result was nowhere to be found, and instead this differently-formed air-surfing Raichu appeared before Green and Yellow.

"That's how they know we're foreigners. To them, our standard Raichu is an exotic and unexpected thing. This Alolan Forme Raichu is completely natural and normal when here in the Alolan Region. Even a Pikachu not from this region will become their version of Raichu when it evolves here. Alola's energies are barely understood. I plan to rectify that while I complete my commissions here." He took in the sight of the pleased new Raichu, gently patting Yellow's shoulder.

"There is much new to see here. Make sure you make the most of it."


|_Macintosh_| (>) Hau'oli City Pokecenter

The very large, well-built man made his way into the Pokecenter with a pleasant smile, already pleased with how friendly the natives were. The establishment was completely different from the ones back home in Unova, especially during his Journey years ago. It had an almost homey cafe atmosphere to it, and just enough of a bustle to feel genuine without being too crowded. The eldest rancher was about to start browsing for what he needed when a sudden light went off to his side.

Mac looked over, squinting slightly - used to bright lights in his face working the yard and fields as he did so often - and beheld the miracle of evolution. The powerful Nidoking he had with him had evolved twice to reach its current form, and he'd only been conscious for one of those. The team they'd put together had had a few evolutions, but each new transformation witnessed was all but miraculous all the same. The big and smiling rancher gave a polite clap of congratulations for the newly-formed Raichu and its trainer, completely mystified as to why it looked so different from the few Raichu he'd seen in his time as a full-time Trainer.

After a few, he turned and made his way over to a kiosk, looking to download a map of Alola and pick up some supplies.

Jakkaru chattered with Soa for a time, pocketing his information for use later. Making connections with a decent Pokémon Breeder was always a worthy venture, given the amount of baby Pokémon were unique to the pursuit and given how frequent it was to find mid-evolution Pokémon in the wilds. She raised a hand to bid him good ventures as he got up to leave.

During the conversation, Dexy floated away from Jakkaru as she ate, bouncing around the tables of the cafe and the furniture of the Center before it chimed in near the glowing form of a newly evolved Pikachu to Alola Riachu. In its robotic voice, it announced:

"Bb-bb-bb-bb-bb-bb-bb-bb! Raichu, Alolan Form. By collecting psychic power in its tail, it is able to float in the air and ride the appendage like a surfboard. Local legend suggests that Pikachu in Alola evolve into a different looking Raichu because it ate abundant sweets and fluffy pancakes, lending to its rounded appearance, while research has shown the difference in diet may have some cause for the change. Because so many Trainers like the way Pikachu looks, you don't see this Pokémon very often."

At about halfway through the information dump, Jakkaru realized her intrepid Rotom had bobbed away, and she scurried after it, tripping past the duo of shades and straw-haired girl in a whirl and leaving her Litten and Scraggy to munch at the food on the tray. She bobbed on her toes to gather the bouncing bundle of technology. She ran her fingers through her tousled hair as she looked sheepishly at the new Raichu's owner.

"Sorry about that, Dexy is too talkative for his own good."

Noah turned away briefly from Raichu and Squirtle to look back at Steven and listen to his final farewell. He was more determined than ever to prove himself as one of the great Water-type specialists the world had to offer. One day, when Noah had accomplished his goal, he was going to thank Steven for his contribution and encouragement, and challenge him to a battle. He had a long way to goal to become a master, but he knew that there was nothing holding him back from reaching his goal.

Until that day, Noah focused on the present. Raichu led Squirtle on a chase, with the Tiny Turtle Pokémon jumping helplessly after his malasada. The Mouse Pokémon used her newfound psychic powers to bring the pastry to her mouth and ate it in two bites. In response, Squirtle dramatically fell backwards on his shell in defeat. Noah chuckled at the display, and couldn't help but acknowledge Raichu's new strength. She was likely on par with Poliwrath, the powerhouse of his team, and with the type advantage, could beat him in a battle.

Noah realized just how many people were watching him and Raichu now. There's no question about it, given that the evolution occurred in the middle of the Pokémon Center with everyone allowed to watch. He didn't mind the attention at all, and quite enjoyed it. Raichu didn't mind the looks as well and surfed eagerly to show off her psychic powers. He looked up at the Rotom Pokédex and blinked in confusion at it, having never seen one before until now. He looked towards its trainer and smiled.

"No worries," Noah waved his hand dismissively to reassure the stranger. "I honestly didn't know anything about what changed with Raichu, so Dexy actually helped me."

Yellow She tried to listen intentively to Green's description, but soon she was drawn by the voice of a rather curious looking Pokédex-ish device that was giving it's own description of the new Pokémon.

At this point Yellow was reaching upper levels of excitement. Chu adjusted position to her shoulder as Yellow stood up from her chair to properly look on towards the scene as a lady quickly brushed by their table to retrieve the device, and was soon making her way towards them all but almost forgetting she had just gotten food and they'd sat down to eat.

"Congratulations, Noah! I don't think it's even been an hour, and you already have an Alolan Pokémon now!" She'd pause a moment by the Alolan Raichu, and if it'd give her a moment, she'd happily pet it's head. "Of course congratulations to you too!".

She'd look up to the two, her eyes looking to the very lively Pokédex for moment before returning to looking between Noah and Jakkaru. "We got a table over there, Noah, if you'd like to sit with us", then turning to Jakkaru "And you too miss, if it wouldn't be a bother, I'd actually like to ask about your Pokédex, is... is that actually a Pokémon? I haven't seen one like that... uh, a Pokédex or a Pokémon I mean."

Her face is ever so bright, eager to learn as much as possible, though soon she becomes aware of herself and composes herself ever so slightly as she looks back towards Green.

"If that's ok with you?" she'd ask, albeit a bit late. Knowing Green it would be the seemingly Pokédex-Pokémon hybrid he'd have interest in if anything at all, however it was possible he knew everything to know of it already.

|_Green_| (>) Hau'Oli City Pokémon Center, Airport Exit

Green's eyes darted over towards the flying red machine the moment it entered his peripheral vision. Looks like the old gramps got that prototype working while I've been away from town. He listened to it, taking in its natural ease, as if the device was the Pokémon itself. He gave a small, secretive smile and then watched the newly-evolved Alolan Raichu zip around using its tail as a psionic focuser. How very interesting. He pulled out his own beat-up Pokédex and scanned the Alolan Raichu before him, letting Porygon2 assimilate that data. He almost missed Yellow talking to him, and quickly reviewed what was said while his attention was elsewhere.

"That should be fine, Yellow."

He turned to look at the others, quirking an eyebrow at Jakkaru and Noah.

"It should be a serendipitous little reunion. I haven't seen the two of you since the invitation to that strange little mansion."

He had fans in Alola, as well, but hopefully they would be far less numerous and vociferous. He seated himself and removed his shades and hat. Yep, that was Ookido Green, alright.


|_Macintosh_| (>) Hau'Oli City Pokémon Center, Airport Exit

After the hubbub around the unexpected evolution died down, it left a warm little atmosphere in this cozy cafe-like Center. Entirely welcome, but entirely foreign. This was supposed to be like a hospital, yet it was so comfortable. He got the local map of the island from the kiosk, and started looking over it to familiarize himself slowly. Blowing air out through his nostrils, he got a good idea of which roads to take. But first, he ordered an apple malasada on his way out, and seemed delighted at the taste.

It was time for Big Macintosh to make the trek to Poni Island to find a horse.

"I'm glad it could be of some help, the chatterbox," she grinned at the Raichu's owner. And then when the invitation was extended by the approaching girl, she nodded, "I've love to join you all! Let me grab my tray."

As she gathered at the table, Jakkaru looked from face to face and blinked twice, her brow cocking a bit. Oh. Oh yes, definitely. It was a long time ago, just after leaving Unova, but she'd definitely met the Raichu's owner and the guy in shades before. As the young girl invited everyone over to a table and Jakkaru collected her Litten and Scraggy to join them all at one table, she looked from Noah to Green.

"Oh, huh. It is a small word, I guess? Noah, right? I do remember we met at that mansion in Sinnoh with all the traps and puzzles and such. And you're Green, of course, now that I've gotten a clear look at you without the shades, haha. Laying low? How's your grandfather? My names Jakkaru Korekuta if you need it, hah."

Dexy, meanwhile, lavished the attention, waving its little arms and smiling at the three other people at the table. It flicked between information of the Pokémon present: Raichu, Pikachu, Squirtle, Litten, and Scraggy. Listing off facts and tidbits about the Pokémon interspersed with light conversation, "In Alola, a plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant... ...Have you tried the pineapple malasada? Scraggy, the Shedding Pokémon. Its skin has a rubbery elasticity, so it can reduce damage by defensively pulling its skin up to its neck..."

Then, as she bid Dexy to bob on over towards the short blonde and Green, she tilted her head to the side and back again. "I feel like we've met before too, or maybe I know you from somewhere... Viridian City? To answer your question, Dexy is a Rotom that's living in a special Pokédex housing. It's a new version of device that Professor Kukui pioneered, though I got mine sent from Professor Oak and Researcher Rhome."

The Pokédex bobbed over to Yellow and spun in a circle so the girl could get a good look. "Squirtle is known to sometimes work in fire prevention. I'd like a malasa~daaaaa!"

"Thanks, and yeah, I'm down to join you all too," Noah nodded, accepting Yellow's offer. "Just one second though. Squirtle definitely wants more malasadas."

Noah lost count of how many of the treats Squirtle ate from the first tray, but there was no stopping his Pokémon's gluttony. Squirtle eagerly stood back up and ran towards the cafeteria. With this being the second tray to pay for, Noah did limit how many malasadas to give his Pokémon. Raichu remained by the other trainers to follow them to their table, and did allow for Yellow to pet her head.

By the time Noah joined the others, he was off the high of seeing one of his Pokémon evolved, and recognized Jakkaru from the same place he first met Green. He set a tray of five malasadas down, which Squirtle began to devour once more.

"Definitely a small world," Noah agreed. "I still remember that mansion. Those puzzles sure were pretty difficult for me, but I had a blast."

Noah left Jakkaru and Green to catch up and focused on Dexy. He heard about Pokédexes before, but never saw one that was sentient until now. They were useful devices and it was definitely nice to know more about his Pokémon. If Squirtle wasn't such a glutton (he was on his third malasada), then he could definitely see his Pokémon being part of a fire prevention unit. He held back a laugh as it called for a malasada, and came up with a question.

"Hey, Dexy," Noah said with a smile. "If you don't mind me asking, but do you know anything about the Pokémon in Alola? Like, say, where the Water-type Pokémon frequent?"

Yellow for one still believed the world to be ever so big, instead attributing this to Green's maybe bigger pool of knowledge. He'd seemed to know so many people from so many places, and they'd only been here less than an hour or so and they've encountered three of them. Yellow would slide the tray of malasadas she had collected over closer to Green making more room for the two people joining them before taking a seat.

She'd work out why Green was familiar with so many people as the group talked about this mansion's challenge that had been issued out. She knew from both Red and Green they did not let anything stop them from accepting a challenge like that, and while it's been used to take advantage of Red, Green still seemed to beam in confidence enough to take them head on. Perhaps that's why these three trainers' paths kept crossing. She smiled at the group, though she might've felt a bit out of touch. With these thoughts, and as Dexy approached she pulled out her own Dex.

Worn and scuffed here and there from its two users, it was a token worthy of her pride. Of course it was only cosmetic, the inside stuff all having been updated over the years. She'd flip it open and it would silently write out information on it's screen. She'd always preferred to keep it silent and unobtrusive while out in the wild. It'd first detect and log Dexy as a Rotom, but soon options for handling another Trainer's Dex would also display, many features Green introduced to the dex which she tended to avoid using without purpose.

She would've happily given Dexy a pineapple malasada, if it weren't for her questioning if the device was able to handle foods in its current form. So she left it to the others who might know better to handle this request.

Then she heard a tone of recognition from Jakkaru, and her pleasant happy smile widen ever slightly with mention of Viridian. Was she from Kanto!?

"Yes, sorry, I had completely forgotten introductions with you all having already met, but I'm Yellow." her smile hinted at confidence as she'd continue with her title, "Yellow of the Viridian Forest. Have you traveled through there before?"

She'd then take some time to try to work her memory, looking towards each of her Pokémon, as they were what tended to help jog her memory the most. They seemed used to her trainer, aside from the perhaps coy kitten-esk Pokémon she was personally unfamiliar with entirely. She couldn't recall, not having nearly the same social skills as Green, despite perhaps being more social.

Meanwhile Chuchu would return to Yellow's lap, imagining it would be inappropriate to clamber onto the table while food was on it to greet the other Pokémon, instead using the time to watch them and be pleasant company. Perhaps snag herself another malasada if it was ok with Yellow.
