"Where's the next trial?" Ash asked as the four trainers exited the cavern, finally stopping and looking back at the other's, who where a few steps behind him, "There are no more trials on this island" Zack answered, making Ash sigh as he looked at him coldly, "Then let's go to the next island" Ash said, turning away and going to walk, only to freeze when Darwin said, "We can't"

"Why the fuck not?!" Ash demanded, his patience growing thin. He already didn't like the triplets, and he hated that he had to save the world, AND he hated that the legendary's were treating him like an errand boy: now he was being told he couldn't move onto the next island?

"W-When you complete the island trials, you have to battle the islands kahuna" Darwin stuttered out quickly, making Ash's eye twitch in irritation - this whole journey was a colossal waist of time, and it was becoming more and more complicated by the minute, and it was really starting to piss him off.

"Great. Another pointless endeavor" Ash sighed as he looked at the trio with a blank look, "Take me to this "Kahuna"." Ash demanded, watching as the trio looked at each with quizzical looks before they looked back at Ash, "O-okay...H-he is in Ike town" Ash just nodded, crossing his arms and tapping his foot impatiently as he awaited for one of the triplets to begin leading the way.


"How far is this town?" Ash asked after the group of four trainers walked up the dirt trail, "We have to go around this mountain and its right at the base" Nicole responded as the trio walked ahead of Ash - who as normal trailed behind them slightly.

Ash nodded to himself, irritation settling in his system - around the mountain? That would take at least 2-3 days. Again. This stupid journey was becoming more and more complicated the long Ash was in the Alola region, "At least when this is all over i will FINALLY be left alone by those dam legendaries" Ash thought, a rare smile crossing his face, "Well. Let's pick up are pace." Ash suddenly stated, increasing the speed of his walking so he was only a few steps behind the triplets, who looked confused but nodded, quickening their own walking.

- 1 Hour Later -

"It's starting to get dark, how about we call it a night?" Zack suddenly said, making Ash frown deeply as he looked to the sky, that was still fairly light with only the tiniest hint of darkness beginning to show, "Were not stopping - it's nowhere near night time, and i want to get this challenge over as fast as possible" Ash stated, stopping only when he heard a growl from behind him, "You know what Ash?" Zack spoke up loudly, making Ash look back at him with a bored look.

"What, Zack? You going to try and start an argument with me again? Try and hit me with that stupid hammer on your back again? Because i would advise againest it - i told you last time that i went easy on you, if you try anything with me again, i will cram that fucking hammer down your throat" Ash spoke calmly/threateningly, making Zack blink in shock at the threat.

"I-I..." Zack stuttered, making Ash smirk slightly, "Don't think i don't know what you were going to do. You and I both know i am not someone you want to fuck around with. Your already in my bad books for snooping in my past without my permission - arceus only knows what trouble you might bring to me thanks to what you did. Your lucky i haven't had Pikachu fry your ass yet. So don't push your luck" Zack went white as Ash brought up what he had done, making the Alolan native look away in guilt as he stayed quiet and continued to walk, making Ash nod whilst Nicole and Darwin watched in shock and slight horror at the threat Ash had made towards the oldest of the three.

- Several Hours Later -

"Ash? Can we please stop and rest for the night?" Nicole finally spoke up tiredly, her eyes starting to feel heavy. Ash sighed, stopping his walking and looking to the rapidly darkening sky before nodding and looking back at the three trainers, all of who looked completely exhausted, "Fine. We may stop. But get to sleep quickly. We will be leaving as soon as the sun rises." The three trainers didn't say anything in protest, instead, they collapsed where they stood, almost immediately falling asleep were they fell.

Ash rolled his eyes as the trio collapsed and fell asleep, looking at Pikachu with a blank look. "A-Ash...?" A voice suddenly called out, throwing an alarmed look up on Ash's face as he turned towards the voice so fast, Pikachu almost fell of his shoulder, "Who's there?!" Ash demanded, watching as the bushes rustled before a familiar figure emerged from said bushes, making Ash and Pikachu freeze in shock.

"A-Ash? I-is that you?" The clearly female voice continued as she squinted her large ocean blue eyes towards Ash, who stayed silent, hoping the familiar girl would not see or him and would just leave, "A-Ash! I-it is you!" The girl exclaimed as her eyes landed on Ash and Pikachu.

Ash stayed silent as the girl slowly walked closer to them, a strange sensation filling his stomach as the girl stepped closer and closer to him.

"Dawn."
