Pokemon The Tale of Popplio

Chapter 1: The Alolan Starters

No one's P.O.V

The day finally came! The day when people become trainers and they are to choose their very first pokemon and those pokemon are non other than Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio.

 Their breeds are many but three of each are one of a kind. They have no names but numbers for the trainers are the ones who provide their nicknames.

~Time skip last batch~

 Now the last three trainers arrived and the last batch of starters came. "May the nineteenth trainer come in." the professor, Prof. Kukui said. "Come on kid, pick me. I am known as the strongest in the group." Litten boasted. " Be patient Litten." Rowlet said. "What did you just say, Owl?!"

This Litten was the most aggressive of all in the Litten breed. This Rowlet was the most polite among all the Rowlet in the breed. However, Popplio, she, well... she does not have any special role among all the Popplio breeds which makes her easy to pick on.

 Popplio's P.O.V

I gotta help Rowlet for he is my friend. But Litten will pick on me. What do I do? I know! I'll help Rowlet and since the trainer's watching us and deciding he will pick me because he sees me as a helpful pokemon and my dream will finally come true. Well, it's worth a shot. "Hey Litten! Why not leave Rowlet alone!" I said Litten stopped scratching Rowlet. Did it worked? Yeah, I think it did and it should.

Litten's P.O.V 

That little sea tiger! You think you can mess with me. I turned around and looked at her devilishly. Her eyes grew wide in horror. That's it! Make yourself scarce, feel my anger! "You think you can mess with me?! Huh, you little sea tiger?!" I said loudly. That must have scared her. Good, good. Hahahaha. "I'm a sea lion you cat!" she corrected. What?! She's a lion that's lives at the sea?! "Why you!" I pounced at her with my mouth wide open, showing my bare fangs. Just when I was about to land at her, something grabbed me. It felt like a hand. So that means... I looked up. It was the trainer! Did he pick me or did he grabbed me so he could save Popplio because he picked her. "My name's Flare and I pick Litten." Really?! I was surprised. "Why would you say that?" Prof. Kukui asked. Come on professor, I don't have time for this. "Because this Litten is tough and aggressive, attacking anything dangerous around me. A very valuable partner." I was touched. You know what I want to hear. You will be my top priority. "I thought you'd pick Popplio cause you rescued her." Prof. Kukui said. "That pokemon has no right to be my partner. Everyone that picked Popplio made the wrong decision. Mabye they're starting to regret picking Popplio." Flare said. Ha! How do like that?! I'm free! "Hey sea tiger, I'm not finished with you. I'll come back for you!"

Popplio's P.O.V

"That was close. I thought I was done for. And I thought that trainer would choose me." I said. "Popplio!" Rowlet said. "Thanks for saving me back there."

"Don't worry. I got your back. If that stupid cat comes at you again, I'll be there."

"Yeah. But what if we get picked?"

"Well, we have trainers when that happens."

"Right, right. Wait is Litten a stupid cat?"

"You probably didn't hear that Litten called me a sea tiger."

We both laughed so hard. Then the twentieth trainer walked in. "Listen, no hard feelings if you don't get picked out on this one." Rowlet said. " That's fine. The same goes to you." I said. " My name's Melody and I pick Rowlet." Melody said. "Well, I guess this is goodbye." Rowlet said. "Why did you choose Rowlet?" Prof. Kukui asked. "It just came to me. When you announced that you're giving trainers their first pokemon, the first pokemon that came into my mind was Rowlet." Melody replied. And with that me and Rowlet waved goodbye. It's sad that me and my friend had to say goodbye. But my dream is finally about to come true. "May the final trainer enter." Prof. Kukui announced. But when the trainer he said immediately. "Is there any Rowlet left?" he asked. " No. Maybe next time. All what's left is this Popplio." Prof. Kukui replied. "I don't want a Popplio. It's weak." then he walked out. "I'm weak?" I repeated sadly. "Don't worry Popplio. There's always next time." I just shake my head. I couldn't hear the professor's voice but all the bad things that was said before. Then screamed. "I can't accept this!" And ran of with tears.

No one's P.O.V

From that moment on she lived in a world full of darkness with sadness in her heart. Will she be able to live in happiness once again?
