I think that Auli’i would be a great fit as Fallon Lennon, we could just age her down a year to reflect the fact that Auli’i is younger.

BEGINNINGS IN TAPU VILLAGE…

After Tapu Bulu destroyed the village in a fit of rage, most of the Village’s residents decided to move to other islands where the guardian deities were more peaceful. Fallon’s ancestors decided to stay put, rebuilding their small stone farming buildings and living off the land. They believed that with the neighbors who had incurred Tapu Bulu’s wrath gone, they would suffer no more at it’s hands. By the time Fallon was born, her family regularly prayed to Tapu Bulu asking him for good farming seasons and help when their crops failed to sprout. Because her family typically harvested enough fruits and vegetables to feed themselves, their Mudsdales, and sell a little to pay for other necessities, Fallon had always thought of Tapu Bulu as a generous deity. Although Tapu Village was isolated and their weren’t many other children her own age, Fallon was still a happy child. She preferred the company of books to other children anyways and was happy to lose herself in a good story. She would often sit outside in the grass reading to the wild Pokemon. Eventually she met one Sandshrew who was particularly interested in her stories, it would bring her berries and they would sit together for hours. Despite the fact that Fallon was happy enough with her routine when she was younger, she began to worry as she grew older about how sustainable their life in Tapu Village was. Fallon was an only child but her aunt and uncle helped run the farm and had five small children of their own by the time Fallon turned eighteen. They wouldn’t all be able to survive on what the farm produced when they grew up, they would just have enough to feed themselves and buy more seeds. 

When the Thrifty Megamart opened down Route 14, Fallon saw it as a blessing. She would be able to get a job there at night and still help with working the farmland in the morning. When she went down to interview, they were so impressed with her that she was offered the job of assistant manager. Although Fallon was tired all the time from working two jobs, it was worth it. Her family could eat with more variety due to the Megamart’s low prices, they had money to make small barn repairs they’d been putting off for years, and they could invest in a new tractor which saved so much time they were talking about buying a Miltank from a Breeder and expanding their interests. That was when tragedy struck though. Tapu Bulu became upset because that the Megamart was built on sacred grounds and destroyed it in a fit of rage. Fallon and her family couldn’t believe what had happened, they’d given thanks to Tapu Bulu for the store and how it had provided for their family and he’d ignored them. At first Thrifty Megamart tried to repair the cracks and damage to the store, but it soon became overrun with Ghost-type Pokemon which scared off workers who didn’t like that belts at the cash register would start going even when they’d turn the electricity off or that carts would wheel themselves down the aisles and block them from whatever they were working on. Eventually they refused to return to the site and Thrifty Megamart announced they were abandoning the store, giving Fallon a small severance package. 

Fallon wasn’t willing to give up though, she went to the local Pokemart and purchased a Pokeball. She then offered it to the Sandshrew she’d befriended as a child who gladly pressed the middle button. With her new Pokemon in tow, she headed down to the Megamart and attempted to battle a Haunter there who immediately sent her running to the local Pokemon Center. Fallon began training relentlessly, returning to the site every few weeks and coming back defeated and even more frustrated than before. Her parents begged her to give up but she refused, she was going to take out all those Ghost Pokemon and then she was going to come for Tapu Bulu himself. It was the barista at the Pokemon Center Cafe that suggested Professor Oak’s Pokemon Challenge to her. He’d heard about it through a traveling trainer that stopped by and suggested to her that maybe the Indigo League gym battles would provide her with the structure she’d need to take down the ghosts. He’d even heard of a tower full of ghosts in a small purple town there. Fallon felt guilty leaving her farm, but she knew from battling passerbys that there was more money in battling if she did well than there was in farming. She hugged her parents goodbye and promised to send them money each month before starting the long hike towards the Ula’ula Ferry Terminal in Malie City.
