Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

"Meow! You rascal, where did you take the airship?!"

A furious roar came from the sky.

The people who were cultivating the fields with their Pokémon couldn't help but look up curiously.

"Mom, what kind of Pokémon is that?"

"Taro, that's not a Pokémon, that's... an airship?"

"Strange, why is this airship getting bigger and bigger?"

"No! Run! It's going to crash!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the villagers below quickly pulled up the children who were still watching the commotion and ran away to a distance.

"Mah bah!"

A muscular mosquito, carrying several small Pokémon, swiftly dodged the impact of the airship.

"Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump! We're going to crash!!!"

"Sona Hiss!!!"

Kojiro and Musashi stared wide-eyed, huddled together in terror, screaming as the ground drew ever closer. A Wobbuffet clung tightly to their legs, also looking utterly distraught.

"Meow! Look at me, meowing!"

Meow Meow grabbed the control lever, assumed a horse stance, then, with a ferocious expression, pulled backward with all her might, using her legs to exert force.

Rumbling--

Originally, the airship, which was tilting downwards, miraculously tilted upwards slightly.

boom--

A huge impact sound rang out

The airship skimmed past the newly cultivated farmland and crashed into the forest, felling a large number of trees.

"Ouch... my waist!"

Musashi rubbed his lower back while tidying up his messy hair, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the airship landed safely, at least it didn't bury them underneath.

Boom!

"Silly meow meow, I really overestimated your skills!"

"What should I say back then? Piloting an airship is a piece of cake for me, Meow Meow!"

After Musashi recovered, he roused the unconscious Meowth with a chop to the neck, then gave Kojiro and Wobbuffet two more thuds, allowing them to enjoy some "benefits" as well.

“So na si ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜”

Sure enough, Weng covered his head, swayed as he stood up, and looked around.

Kojiro had the same expression as Wobbuffet, pouting and muttering aggrievedly.

"It hurts, but anyway, it's good to be in Alola."

pop-

Musashi clapped his hands, jumped off the airship, then put his hands on his hips, pointed into the distance, and said with great flair.

"Hmph! Since Ayu has asked us for help, let's not delay! Let's set off!"

boom!

"So na si!"

As soon as Musashi finished speaking, a huge fist landed in front of her.

Fortunately, Wobbuffet was right next to Musashi and stepped in just in time to block the powerful punch.

The next second, Buzzwole felt an even stronger force coming from the Pokémon in front of it, making its arm go numb.

“Suo na si…”

Sure enough, the shrew wasn't having an easy time either. The shrew's strength was terrifying; it almost tore the seams of its little suit.

This is a limited edition that Musashi bought for it!

Realizing what was happening, Musashi quickly pulled Wobbuffet behind her.

Only then did she realize that the one attacking her was an Ultra Beast.

"Who are you!"

"It looks so strange!"

"Could it be an evil organization from out of town...?"

Suddenly, a group of villagers appeared behind Musashi, pointing and whispering at them.

Seeing that the discussion was getting increasingly outrageous and the gazes directed at them were becoming more and more hostile, Kojiro hurriedly stepped forward to clarify.

"Everyone, please calm down. We're here at the invitation of Team Rainbow Rocket. Look, this is our proof."

Kojiro rummaged in his pocket for a while and pulled out a badge with the Rainbow Rocket Team logo.

"What?"

Buzzwole flashed in front of Kojiro, bent down and carefully examined the badge, as if confirming its authenticity.

After a while, the burr mosquito nodded and waved to the villagers, signaling them to leave first.

"Since MuscleBurst said it's okay, let's get back to work~"

An older man in the crowd quickly led everyone away.

Only Musashi and the others remained, along with the Bursting Moth.

"Mah-bum-bum, mah-bum-bah!"

Muscle Mosquito remembered what his trainer had said to him a few days ago.

Two humans and a talking cat are coming to Ula Ula Island. If you find them, you need to lead them to your home.

Buzzwole tilted its head and looked at the strange combination in front of it. It was basically the same as what its trainer had described, and it even had badges.

That should be correct.

The burly mosquito waved, signaling the group to follow it.

"Let's follow, meow~ It says Ayu is waiting for us!"

Meow Meow looked excited, but Musashi looked suspicious.

This burly mosquito almost knocked itself away.

"Alright~ Since Meow Meow said it knows Ayu, it must be true~ Let's go!"

Kojiro is fully recovered. It's been half a year since he last saw Zhang Yu after their parting in Unova.

They said they were invited to Alola because they had something very important to ask of them.

The trio had just finished their work, and upon hearing that Zhang Yu needed help, they immediately set off in their airship from Unova to Alola without hesitation.

The trio was startled when Zhang Yu said he was going to find Team Rainbow Rocket.

This organization is also known in the Unova region; it is said to be the number one evil organization in Alola.

However, the clever Meow Meow quickly guessed that the boss behind it was Ayu.

After explaining their analysis to Musashi and Kojiro, the trio finally felt reassured and came over.

"Um... Brother Bulbous Mosquito, which way are we going, meow?"

Meow Meow stared at the muscles of the muscular mosquito, which were bigger than its head, swallowed hard, and whispered, "..."

"Mah-bah-bah~"

Upon hearing this, the muscle-bound mosquito stopped, turned around, and pointed to one side.

Kojiro and Musashi meowed, looking in the direction it pointed.

"Swoosh~ Na hiss!"

"You're blocking my view!"

Musashi pressed down on the suddenly appearing Wobbuffet with his hand, then looked closely.

Different from what was rumored in Unova

In the distance, farmers were everywhere, working with Pokémon to cultivate fields and build irrigation ditches.

It presented a scene of tranquility and peace.

A trainer carrying a hoe walked past the group, followed by another trainer, Makushita Rikishi, also carrying a hoe.

Kojiro couldn't help himself and grabbed the other person to ask...

"Excuse me, what brings you here...?"

Seeing the group following behind the Buzzwole, the trainer assumed they were travelers from out of town and replied enthusiastically.

"aloha [Hello]"

"We're going to clear the wasteland and plant fruit trees. That way we can fill our stomachs, and the surplus can be exported!"

"Thanks to Team Rainbow Rocket, our specialty products can be exported to other regions!"

Kojiro seemed thoughtful upon hearing the answer.

The trainer continued...

"Judging from your attire, you must be from another region."

"Yes, meow, we came from the Unova region, meow~"

You all look very happy!

Meow replied, "The people here seem very happy."

A talking cat? How amazing!

The trainer tilted his head, quite surprised that the cat could speak human language.

However, he seemed quite excited after hearing Meow Meow's question.

"That's right, thanks to Team Rainbow Rocket!"

“This place used to be rife with evil organizations, but now it’s all been wiped out.”

“I used to chop wood and cook for evil organizations. Those bad guys never treated me like a human being. When they were in a bad mood, they would beat me up like a punching bag.”

"Now that the evil organization is gone, Team Rainbow Rocket should give our organization some land, help us farm and get rich, and even build us new houses!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the town ahead, his tone filled with gratitude.

The trio followed each other's gaze and, sure enough, saw construction underway in the town in the distance, with many Pokémon carrying materials to build houses.

"That's it~"

"It seems that Team Rainbow Rocket is nothing like the rumors, Meow! It's a great organization!"

Meow's eyes sparkled as she praised...

"Haha, of course, Team Rainbow Rocket has many other beneficial measures for the people, let me tell you about them~"

Seemingly having found someone to show off to, the trainer began to talk at length to the trio about the changes in Alola.
