The Elements… they are, in essence, complete and utter monsters made for a single purpose, the destruction of all Enhanced. But now, they also want to rule all of the universes. They cant be killed, they can regenerate wounds in an instant, they can use Type Specific Pokemon moves, and worst of all...they don't have any weaknesses. At least, none the world is aware of.

Connors narration: Its been about 3 weeks since Acnologia was turned to dust. The Heroes were searching for Rainbow Dash all over the Region before Protoman showed up and dropped a bombshell on them. She commandeered a Decommissioned Arwing and broke several laws. Both of which are true sadly. Even if they believe differently, she'll be arrested no matter what. I feel sorry for her. But I can't worry about that now. We've been here for awhile now and still no clue to a weakness to these elements.

(end narration)

Team Revival was gathered at Melemele Island, inside of a Malasada restaurant where they got a meal and discussed.

"We've been all over the Islands and still no signs of any clues to beat the Elements." Morph said.

"I'm starting to think this idea was a waste of time. We cant exactly find what were looking for unless we go by the Region's trials. And aside from that, we cant go into the Guardian ruins." Hawkeye said.

"Mostly due to no actual guardians. They left with the Brave Adventurers." Brandish said.

"So, to make a long story short… there is no way to find anything that can beat the Elements." Connor sighed. "I thought for sure that we'd find something here."

"We should probably assume there isn't anything to lead on. I mean, its not like a sign of a clue is gonna burst right through that door or something…" Morph said.

They looked at the door and didn't see it bursting open.

"Guess our luck is up this time." Connor said before finding his Malasada missing. "Hey, where's my food?"

"Connor." Betty said pointing to the left as Connor saw a black rat on two legs running off with his food.

"Hey, thats my lunch, buster! Get back here!" Connor said getting up and chasing it.

It hissed at him before running.

"What is that?" Mustang said.

"Rattata. An Alolan one." Betty said.

"Should we go after it?" Morph asked.

"We should, its got my lunch!" Connor said.

"He's not gonna stop till he gets it." Betty said as they sighed and got up, chasing after the Rattata as they went deep into the woods.

"Okay, where is it?" Connor asked.

"I see it!" Betty said pointing to a clearing where the Rattata was already eating his lunch.

"Hey!" Connor said getting the Rattatas attention. "Spit that out!"

The Rattata just ate what was left and stuck a tongue out.

Connor reached for one of his Six-Shooters.

"Connor, that's a little overkill for a pokemon don't you think?!" Morph said. "Its only a Malasada!"

"It was my lunch!" Connor said approaching it. "And I lost it...to...one….little." Connor said looking around to see several Alolan Rattata and Raticate as well. "Snap."

"We wandered into their nest!" Hawkeye said before they all attacked the group.

"Oh, crap! Hit em back, but don't hurt em too hard, they're still living beings!" Connor said firing stun rounds at the Rattata with great accuracy.

Morph enlarged her feet and stretched upwards with her elasticity, stepping around with the Rattata and Raticate swarming her. "Ow, hey! Get off of me! I mean it!" she said slapping the Rattata with her emgiggended hands to swat them away.

"Afraid of rats huh? I can get that." Betty said swatting them away with a branch.

As the Rattata and Raticate were battling, Hawkeye took notice to something. "Wait, what is…" she said before seeing something wedged in a rock formation. A black crystal.

"I've seen it in that book we checked out. That's Darknium Z." Brandish said.

"Who would've thought this would be here? We should grab it." Connor said.

"Yes. Maybe by studying the crystal...we can figure out how to defeat the elements with it." Betty said.

"I got it!" Morph said stretching her arm over to the rock formation and tried grabbing it, before they heard a loud hiss.

"Uh oh… that sounds bad." Connor said.

A large figure then jumped down and stomped Morph's arm into the ground. When the dust cleared, it was a large Alolan Raticate, much larger than the ones with the Rattata. Almost the size of a person.

"Uh… did anyone know they grew that big?" Morph asked.

It then roared as its aura flared to life.

"Theres the reason! Its a Totem Pokemon!" Betty said.

"Which means… aw no…" Connor said as the camera zoomed out to Island view.

Team Revivals Current Location

Route 2: Rat's Nest! Home to Rattata, Raticate and the Totem that protects them.

"Were in their nest!" Connor said.

(Cue-Battle! Totem Pokémon - Pokémon Sun & Moon)

"Im guessing this was the Totem Pokemon that wasn't on the list of the trials?" Morph asked.

"Apparently, This Raticate exists on an alternate route." Mustang said.

"So now were supposed to battle a totem pokemon… without any pokemon ourselves?!" Morph asked.

"Doesn't look like we have much of an option…" Connor said. "Bets, hang back with Mustang. Morph, Brandish, youre with me!"

The totem raticate charged at the group and tried to use Super Fang. Connor rolled out of the way as it gnashed into the ground.

"Somebody call for pest control?!" Connor said throwing a few grenades. They were explosive gas grenades filled with Rat Repellent, and they hit right in Totem Raticate's face.

Totem Raticate then breathed in and blew the gas away.

"Whoa, not bad for a fatso rat." Connor said as Raticate tried to bite into him. "Yikes! Anytime you guys wanna help!"

"I cant use my Flames in this forest, unless you want me to set the forest on fire!" Mustang said.

"Wouldn't work anyway. Raticate's hidden ability is Thick Fat. Fire would only to minimal damage." Betty said.

"Then what will?" COnnor asked.

Raticate roared before Betty's shadow moved on its own and then punched Raticate with an uppercut.

"Bets?!" Connor asked in shock.

"Whoa, how did you do that betty/!" Morph asked, surprised and in awe.

"Uh...not me." Betty said as her shadow continued pummeling the Alolan Raticate before it was sent flying into the sky.

"Whoa. Your shadow kicked ass.' Morph said.

Betty then saw her shadow spread as a small creature came out. It was black with red eyes. Its body similar to a small human child.

"Hey, youre a…" Connor said.

"Necros?" Morph asked.

"No...I've seen this in a book." Betty said looking through a book. "Ah! Here! Marshadow! Its a Marshadow!"

"Marshadow?" Connor said bringing up his data long before finding the exact pokemon.

"Marshadow, the Gloomdweller Pokemon. A Fighting and Ghost type. It lurks in the shadows of others, copying their movements and powers. This Pokémon is craven and cowering. Able to conceal itself in shadows, it never appears before humans, so its very existence was the stuff of myth." it said.

"So why did it come and help us now?" Mustang asked.

"Now that I think of it. When the heroes were on Ula Ula the first time, they said they felt something watching them. And I did when I checked it out." Betty said.

"Maybe this Marshadow came to us… for a reason?" Morph asked.

Marshadow nodded. "I came...because I like you humans." it said telepathically. "You said...you were struggling with something. And...I just wanted to help. So I hid in the shadow of the human I liked most. Which was this woman."

"It spoke telepathically?" Hawkeye asked.

"Yeah, most pokemon can do that." Connor said.

"And youre right Marshadow, we are struggling with something." Betty said.

"Y'see… we have a problem. 18 of em. They're called the elements, they are really powerful clones who can do stuff like you can, because they're made with Human dna and the power of Z-Crystals, like that one." Connor said pointing at the Darknium Z. "We were hoping to come here to find a way to beat them, but we were down on our luck."

"So you want that?" Marshadow asked before sinking into the ground and climbing up the rock, pulling the crystal out and presenting it to him. "Then here."

"Thank you, marshadow." Betty said.

"If we study these crystals, we could find a way to beat the elements. But that would mean wed have to get all of them, one for each Element, minus Psychic of course, because shes good now." Connor said.

"No...each one counts." Betty said. "And we don't need all of them. Three more would be sufficient enough."

"So we would have to go to the other 3 islands and grab a specific z crystal." Mustang said.

"It can be anyone of them that's on the island, right?" Morph asked.

'

"Yeah, that could work." Connor said.

"The best course of action would be to split up between the three of us and take each island separately." Hawkeye said.

"Right." Connor said. "Mustang and Hawkeye will take Akala, Morph and Brandish will take Ula Ula and me, Betty and Marshadow will take Poni."

"Then i guess its decided. Good luck, everyone." Mustang said.
