"There is our first island." Kjolmar said while pointing at Melemele Island. He was riding his massive Gyarados with a relative ease, suggesting that the two of them had a great bond. On Gyarados' head, an adorable Noibat was holding on tight.
Kjolmar jumped off at the shore, retreated Gyarados to its pokeball and took out his phone. "Hey sis, I arrived in Alola in one piece. Are you sure you will be okay while I'm gone?" The girl at the other end nodded. "Believe it or not, I can take care of myself, big brother. Besides, you made Professor Sycamore promise to check in on me every now and then. Just when I think I got Lumiose all for myself, he's there to stop the fun." she said with a giggle.
Noibat kept flying in front of the screen, he had gotten rather attached to Kjolmar's sister. "Take it easy Noibat, we'll be back with Larissa before you know it. Right, let's find Professor Kukui."
Kjolmar walked up to the first person he saw on the beach. "Excuse me, where can I find Professor Kukui?" The boy peered at Kjolmar. "You must be new to Melemele Island. I'll take you to the Professor myself. Name's Kiawe." Kjolmar shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Kiawe. My name is Kjolmar and I'm from Lumiose City in the Kalos region. And this is my partner Noibat."
