Pokémon Alola Story Part 1 Chapter 1
Part 1: Guzma
Chapter 1
“I know what’s at stake here Detective, I agreed to spill the beans to you didn’t I?”
“I know, I thought I would just remind you Guzma.”
Guzma must have a lead on Iggy, something that isn’t in my reports. There must be more to her than simply ‘whereabouts unknown’ and Guzma must know more about her.
“Well then, what would you like to know about her, the so-called illusive Iggy who is putting the entire world at risk?’
“Tell me everything you know about her.”
“Alright… Where do I even begin Looker...”
…
It was 10 years ago when I first met her. I was wandering around the region, picking fights with anyone who caught my eye. I didn’t have much purpose after Kukui beat me to the curb a few weeks before, I had given up on the trials and was looking for some way to kill time. I really was a loser back then, not like I am much better now anyways.
When I had met Iggy I was on Melemele Island looking for more trainers to beat. I was on my way to Hau’oli city when I met her for the first time by the Trainer School. I was walking by the school as it was on the way to Hau’oli City when I saw Kukui walk out of there. This was before he was a Pokémon Professor, mind you, but it seems even back then he tried to get new trainers to join up on the trails or whatever. He was leaving the school waving goodbye to whoever he saw, he was and still is always like that. He irritates me at times. I decided to see what trainer he set up to fail in the trails when I saw Iggy sitting on the floor holding her new partner Pokémon in her arms. The girl was no older than 11, she had long blonde hair back then and mostly wore shorts and t-shirts. She had a Litten with her and from the looks of it it got crushed by something stronger than it. I don’t know what had gotten into me but I decided to go talk to her and see how she was, I guess when I saw her I saw myself inside her.
“Hey, is your Pokémon alright?”
She looked at me with tears in her eyes and then looked back down at her Litten “He wasn’t strong enough…” she said.
“You should take it to a Pokémon center, they will make your Pokémon feel better. Come, I’ll show you.”
“Alright…”
I took her there to get her Pokémon healed, the trainer that had battled her beat her Pokémon real bad. They took at least 5 hours with it, while I was waiting with her she didn’t say a single word. When they brought back her Litten she went and just carried it in her arms without saying much, said her goodbyes and left. I felt bad for her back then, cause she didn’t deserve to meet a trainer who would cause that much harm to her partner, but it wasn’t like I was much better. Back then I would challenge those who I knew were weak and beat them to a pulp, but even then I gave my opponent the chance to run away if things became too serious. I don’t know, I think to myself sometimes that the trainer that did that to her could have easily been me I had met her sooner.
After at least a week of fighting weak trainers I saw the girl again. I was at Iki Town and just beat a trainer, he ran out of money to give me so he gave me one of his Pokémon instead. It was a Jangmo-o, far too weak for my team but it’s on the rarer side. I was making my way to Route 3 for more trainers when I saw her in the grass, she was trying to battle wild Pokémon to strengthen her Litten. She seemed dedicated to train her Pokémon to be their strongest, I could see a fire burning in her eyes. I went to go see her.
“Hey, you’re that girl from the Pokémon School with the Litten, right?”
She looked at me and nodded her head.
“You’re trying to make your Litten stronger?”
“Yeah…”
I wanted to help her get better but I didn’t know if she was even strong or not.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
She didn’t say much, she seemed pretty timid.
“Ok I’ll start, my name is Guzma what about you?”
She thought for a moment thinking if she should tell me her name and eventually spoke “It’s Iggy…”
“Iggy… That’s a good name… I have an idea Iggy, why don’t we have a Pokémon battle to see how strong your Litten has become, okay?”
“… Sure, I guess.”
“Alright, let’s battle.”
I decided to send out the Jangmo-o I got earlier, I thought it wouldn’t be fair to use my team against her but even then I overestimated her. The two Pokémon battled it out, exchanging hits. Iggy seemed to be really into the battle, clenching her fists hoping her Litten who she had trained so hard would win. Eventually Jangmo-o won and Litten fainted again. Iggy pulled back Litten and looked down and sad.
“Was training you not enough… Are we both just weak..?” She said trying to hold back her tears.
I couldn’t see her like that, it really hit me hard. After what Kukui had done to me I couldn’t let him and the rest of the system create another victim. I decided to give here a gift, I walked up to here and handed her my Pokéball with Jangmo-o in it.
“Here, maybe this will help you get stronger”
“...Huh?”
“You can keep the Jangmo-o, it’s pretty strong.”
She looked up at me in disbelief, lost for words and hugged me. She was grateful for the gift I had given her and it seemed to give her some hope after all of this defeat. I decided to follow her on her adventures, I wanted to see her succeed and do what I was not able to. She wanted to do the Island Challenges to prove her strength to those who were stronger than her, I wasn’t very thrilled about that but she might as well go along with it. We both trained together for a few days until she felt ready for the first trial, then we went off to the site.
…
“How is this information relevant to the investigation”
“You asked for everything I know, I am just obliging to your request.”
“I know what I said but it still doesn’t explain why she unleashed these wormholes across Alola.”
Guzma is the only one who was with Iggy when she met the Ultra Beast Nihilego and he saw firsthand how that Pokémon affected her, well at least until they had a falling out 5 years ago. Him and Ilima are the only ones who can shed light on her motives, or what that Pokémon is.
“Trust me Looker, it will make sense soon. You have to understand her history to know what kind of a trainer she really is.”

I like this. I do. But how does this go into Izzy's Trials?
I'm asking because we're not supposed to use actual Trial Captains. Everyone makes their own and shows Izzy's battle against them. Maybe some fluff here and there.
I'm being honest when I say I like the story. I think the writing and narration is great. It leaves me intrigued and wanting more. It really makes me want to know what's happening.
But it's not the story we were making.
I think you should continue this, though. As your story. I genuinely think it's great!
Sorry if this seems rude in any way.

You didnt really explain what the trials are i just assumed they are the same as those in the games, aka the island challenges.

I explained in many posts this was more based off the anime.
There are four of them, the firs one is going to be written by Pokemaniac and is Fire, then TacoLaser with Grass, third is Catcatmyoop using Poison, last me with Ghost. Everyone gets to write their own championship match.
I'm finding people for fluff in-between to add more to the story, but that was the outline of what was happening. That's why I said you could include a bit about the character. Just wanting to be champion isn't that interesting. Give them background and motives.
I think more communication could have been used. I didn't realize I was unclear on what was happening, so you didn't know what was expected. However, there wasn't much communication when it came to what you were writing. I asked some questions on my post and never got a response. I didn't have a clue of what was going on.
This isn't the story that was supposed to happen. I like this idea. I think it should continue. I would love to be apart of it. But not as what I'm organizing. If you don't want to write a different introduction for mine, that's fine. I'll figure something out. If you do, great, but we need to communicate ideas more.
I hope this doesn't cause a problem for us.

That's fine, just please tell me more about what you want for the beginning as the last time I saw the show for Sun/Moon was years ago. Assume I have never seen the show. I will repurpose this later in the future after I finish my other stories.

Give me until tonight and I'll get back at you.
The beginning doesn't need to be the anime.
I still want you to have have freedom.
I just need you to say something like "There are four trials you'll need to complete. These trials will be determined by the Trial Captain, who you will battle after completion of the trial. They will give you the Z-Crystal of their type apon defeat. Here's a Z-Ring to start you off. Now please choose a starter Pokémon." You don't need to use these exact words, but that should be an idea of how the interaction with the Professor goes.
You can choose pretty much everything else.
The starter, Izzy's backstory and motivations, early chooses and personality, writing style, things like that. The only thing I want is what to control is the plot, which I said above about introducing the Trials and getting the Z-Ring. I think that leaves a lot of freedom. If you disagree or still have any confusion let me know.
