    Summary

    Ash seemed determined to stay in Alola, and Kukui had a loft going to waste. He'd boarded students before; he didn't expect anything special out of the experience. As it turns out, Ash isn't the only one who's going to be learning a lot this year.

    Snippets and fragments of life during Ash's stay in Alola.

    Summary

    "Dear Miss Summers,

    Thank you for your application to the Littleroot Young Champions' Initiative. Eager new trainers like yourself are what make the future of Hoenn bright! Regrettably, our supply of starter Pokémon is limited, and so only a handful of applicants can be selected for this program. Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three…"

    A dull ringing rose in her ears. She scanned and re-scanned the last sentence, as though staring at it would make it change, but it still said the same thing: "Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three starter Pokémon."

    Well, there it was, the answer spelled out in black and white. She wasn't good enough, and that was that.

    ---

    Hayley Summers is determined to become a champion. She didn't count on getting a rebellious fire hazard as a starter Pokémon, the class weirdo as a training partner, or a pair of ecoterrorists as her personal adversaries, but—what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And in the world of training, that's starting to look very literal.

    Might be my favorite darker take, balanced out better than most

    Summary

    The Alolan island challenge has changed in the last few decades. Now less a coming of age ritual, and more of a group-assigned year long exam gating access to higher education.

    Selene Matsu isn’t really a battler. She doesn’t really understand battlers, and she doesn't get people all that well. But she understands pokemon, and she yearns to learn more: if she wants to make it her job, she has no choice. Finish the island challenge in its entirety. Travel all four islands, finish all the trials.

    Do all that, and help a few teens as dysfunctional as she is do the same.

    Updates sunday at 12 AM EST.
