I don’t know how to truly classify Alola in the Crown Prince!au. Like basically it’s colonization through…friendship??? In a way???

Basically how it goes down is that Ash hears about Alola, he and his mom sail out, and then his mom sails back home after Ash gets his Zring and crystal from Tapu Koko. A legendary who has the most interest and curiosity in Ash besides Lugia back home. Ash just can’t leave Alola on such a wild cliffhanger.

There’s a lot more prejudice against Ash as well but its basically water down Psyduck feathers. He’s been labeled as the weird kid from all the other royal kids and teens. Despite his title no one ever wanted to genuinely play with him, so the hatred and suspicion towards Ash wasn’t new. That surprised a majority of people in Alola. They were used to visitors despite everything. Other royals across the pond coming to vaca but Ash was the sweetest.

Never once did he raise a hand towards one of Alola’s people let alone his voice. In anger that is. Ash’s squeals of laughter was an almost common sound to hear near the edge of the more known safe beaches. Surrounded by both wild and tamed Pokémon. He attracted them like he was a walking honeypot. It drove the younger children’s curiosity to the point that a group would follow him almost everyday. Trying to desperately learn to attract the same amount of Pokémon to themselves.

Tapu Koko has made it clearly known of his curiosity almost immediately on day one. Having to come to Ash’s rescue over a misunderstanding about the Zring he was given. Hala had declared Ash a thief despite the fact that Ash didn’t want the Zring, knowing how deeply rooted it was to Alola and not wanting to steal more from the land. The Kahuna had drug Ash and Pikachu out into a crowd. Despite the fact that Professor Kukui was begging Hala to back off. Making it known that King Lance would go to war and absolutely demolish Alola if Hala were to kill Ash.

It wasn’t until in a desperate attempt Kukui brought up the fact that Tapu Koko might have actually given the ring to Ash. Not a second later, when Hala was standing over Ash who was kneeling and head bowed in acceptance, the God appeared out of thin air. Angry and visibly buzzing as sparks of electricity zipped through the air.

Melemele’s records had never shown Tapu Koko angry at their island Kahuna before. Other people weren’t so lucky but never a Kahunas. That is until know. Hala was actually knocked back into the crowd, slamming into an old sun-baked table that fishermen usually cleaned their catch on. Haunting the crowd and what also felt like nature itself.

No one moved, not even Ash. Who was still kneeling with his arms held behind his back on his own accord. Head bowed and neck bared more then anyone getting their head sliced off would show. Even Ash’s breathing was controlled. Muscles loose and not tensed like any normal person would be. Not until that Tapu trilled softly floating close enough to use one of its beak-like hands to pull Ash’s head up. Bright blue eyes staring down into brown.

Unlike the crowd who saw nothing unnatural, besides their Tapu’s actions, about the conversation. Koko say the aura that flashed through Ash’s eyes. A clear understanding grew in the Prince’s hazel eyes before he was helped up into his feet. Ash catches Pikachu mid air as his partner finally struggled out of the hood a few rock type Pokémon had him under.

Despite the interaction, Ash was cordial. Never once slipping up in his respect towards Alola’s people and Kahuna Hala. Leaving it up to Hala if they were to ever interact again as Tapu Koko started to show up a lot more around Ash.

The other Kahuna’s were quite different. Nanu had connections to Giovanni, the bastard Count who became a traitor to the Crown and the father of Ash, so he knew who Ash was. The titles were hollow on his lips but it didn’t deter Ash. Not in the slightest. The Ula’ula Kahuna’s actions actually made Ash become bolder in his attempts to creat at least an acceptance between the two. It wasn’t until the final trial, when Tapu Bulu made his likeness for Ash known, did Nanu soften on his cold front. It wasn’t much but Ash was diligent taught to read the hidden details in every word and every movement.

Kahuna Olivia was better, almost a breath of fresh air after Nanu and Hala. She was amazed at how well Pikachu, Ash, and his newly caught Rockruff worked well. She was the only Kahuna that constantly sought the Prince out when he stayed three weeks kn her island. Amazed as well as Tapu Lele, a very fickle Legendary, adored Ash and his Pokémon. Doting on him like a loving Aunt almost would. Bringing fruits and coconuts she cracked open herself. Whenever Olivia was with Ash while Tapu Lele was nearby was a sight to see. The majority of the time while on Akala island Ash was covered is sparkling scales from Tapu Lele as well.

Kahuna Hapu was… instresting to interact with. Seeing such a young child, much younger then himself, take on such a big role with heavy responsibilities. They argued a lot, the minimal numbers of humans on the island served Ash well in this case. No one could really push him down to his knees and slice his throat from ear to ear from the unfiltered arguments over things with Hapu. It was all over petty things too, though Ash had never disrespected her. Her actions and reasoning on things? He’d pick on them slightly here and there. Just trying to give advice that Hapu actually needed but it turns into an argument between the two.

It wasn’t until they had gotten the news at the same time from Mina, Hali’s trusted trial captain and friend, about poachers. Before Hapu could even begin gathering her team to go hunt them down Ash and Pikachu were already gone. Vanished into thin air in seconds. The next morning, as Hapu was finally ready to head out, Ash showed up at her doors. Both he and Pikachu were covered in mud, branches, leaves, and Ash even had whole thorny branches sticking to him. Yet he didn’t have a care the world about his wounds as Ash dumped the poachers bloodied and beaten onto the ground. Hog tied with a sour berry stuffed into their jaws.

It was then that Hapu had given Ash some respect. Knowing at least they shared a resentment towards a common foe then just between the two of them. The respect grew as Ash vouched towards Tapu Fini, during the first time they ever met, that Hapu was Kahuna material. Though he didn’t know that she wasn’t the official Poni island Kahuna. His words had pushed Fini enough to finally notice Hapu as her Kahuna as well.

Obviously more things happen and yada yada. But it comes down to where Ash meets up with Hala again, the first time Ash seeks the Kahuna again after everything. He spills his worries towards the man about Kalos and Unova nearby. Informing the Kahuna that he’s seen charting ships nearby all four islands belonging to both regions.

He walked not just Hala but the village elders and Kukui about the meaning behind the charter ships. How this could mean that Unova and Kalos are most definitely looking towards trying to conquer Alola and likely to enslave their people. It wasn’t until later, when a few Kalosian and Unovian nobles came onto land to see “what the fuss” is about Alola. All the time Ash was right besides Kahuna Hala and Olivia, who had shown up as support for Hala, and told them just exactly what the Nobles and soldiers were doing.

They were all scouting Alola out, trying to judge just how much the islands were worth a fight over. He then continued on how Kalos and Unovia definitely knew that they were both interested in the isles. Which means that the two were going to negotiate splitting the islands up before even trying to begin the fight to conquer them.

Not knowing what to do, as Hala had to be grudgingly admit that they didn’t have the strength to fight back against one fully fleshed our region. Let alone two who would most likely work together. Hala did want to fight back against the two charter ships though. Desperately wanting to send a message out that Alola wasn’t for sale though one look at Ash’s expression as he searched the two crowds and eyed the ship stopped him. It didn’t help that Ash immediately launched into the fact that, with the two charter ships, Kalos and Unova most likely could take Alola by force now.

In desperation, Hala turned to Ash and asked what they islands should do. He wasn’t expecting Ash to offer up a treaty between the East Crown and Alola. It was a crude one Ash had drawn up in the moment, explaining that the treaty would basically break down into segments.

First off would be that Alola would be considered owned land by the East Crown. Yes it’s very far from Kanto and Johto but they also had the most military and naval defenses in the world. Letting them basically lead the royals of the world as well in war and social circles. Unova and Kalos wouldn’t dare try and tread a foot near Alola’s ocean boarders without some kind of backlash. Alola would still operate how it is, with the added vendors and tourists, and would gain power to make rules that even the highest nobles would abide by.

Ash would personally see to it that the traditional trials will never die out, though he had to admit that some kind of court would have to be built. Just to sustain his Uncles possible wishes. Ash had power in the high council and court but not enough to leave everything how it is. This treaty is not a give-give relationship, Ash would have to take something to make the field more level so Lance could just give it a second of thought before throwing it out.

Second off would be that no Zrings or Crystals should leave Alola, unless they were ethically gained by someone who did and passed the trails. They wouldn’t become a fashion statement in Kanto, Johto, or any of the small islands that littered the coast lines. Ash had put an ‘X’ by this point and explained that this most likely would be circled back by his Uncle so it wasn’t much use in going in to much detail.

Hala had agreed to call the other to Kahunas to at least discuss this offer. Worried more about his people know then his pride. It didn’t even take them two days before all four agreed to Ash’s conditions. They were shocked though to learn, after Ash had immediately gone home to hopefully start drafting a real treaty, that Ash would be returning in a few months time with the real treaty and with his uncle and mother in tow.

All four Kahunas were shocked to meet the respectful King who bowed deeply in his own greetings to the Kahunas before trying, and failing, to correctly do an Alolan greeting. The docile Princess and mother to Ash had did the same but her Alola greeting was much more refined. Taking a step back to allow King Lance to take charge yet again.

The treaty that Ash finally showed them, the real fully fleshed out one, held a lot more pro’s for the Alolan people then cons. Hell the only cons were that there would be a lot more eastern vendors, tourists, and that an army and naval base would be built off one of the four islands so that the crown could protect Alola better. Everything else Ash had tried to promise and more were written in there and the four Kahunas collectively sighed in peace. Knowing that there wouldn’t be any bloodshed over their land and Ash had avoided war in any possibility as well.
