"Articuno, destroy the crushable rock." Lorelei said. Articuno broke the rock to find entrance to another cave. The cave was a long route which went above. Articuno flew very rapidly to move through the route which had a slope to go above and flew to the end of the route which was 100 floors above to find a long route which Articuno flew rapidly to find an exit. Articuno then left the cave to find a valley which had pristine clear streams, nice trees and fresh grass surrounded by tall snowy mountains. The weather was cloudy. Articuno then flew to a Villa present. Ash and Lorelei then disembarked from Articuno.
"This valley is owned by me and that is my Villa. I use this Valley for training. This Valley is near the next Cities for fighting the next Battle Leaders." Lorelei said. Ash and Lorelei then entered the Villa. Ash and Lorelei went to the reading room and Lorelei opened the entrance present on the floor which had steps.
Ash and Lorelei climbed down the steps and walked down the corridor where there were rooms for each type of Pokemon to train.
"You can use this arrangement to train your Pokemon. Also the next Battle Leader we are going to would be Ground which would be in Haruba Village." Lorelei said.
Ash and Lorelei walked back to the steps and climbed up the steps to reach the reading room and then went to the dining room. Lorelei gave Ash some berries to eat and Ash and Lorelei and Ash ate the berries. Ash and Lorelei then left the Villa.
Ash and Lorelei then embarked on Articuno which flew through the mountains and some were very high Mountains and Articuno passed through passes through those Mountains. After flying through the Mountains, Articuno reached the Sea and then Articuno flew across the sea for some time. Articuno then reached Haruba Village and landed next to Haruba Gym. Ash and Lorelei disembarked from Articuno. Haruba Gym could be reached after travelling through the rocky land where there were many high level Ground Type Pokemon.
"Articuno, come back." Lorelei said and returned Articuno to its Pokeball.
"Infernape, I choose you." Ash said and released Infernape from the Pokeball.
Infernape walked along with Ash and Lorelei and defeated any Ground type Pokemon in the path with Flamethrower. Ash and Lorelei then reached Haruba Gym which was an open air stadium. Ash and Lorelei entered the Gym and walked through to reach the apex Pokemon, Groudon.
Groudon converted to Primal Groudon using Primal Reversion.
"Lycanroc, use Stone Edge rapidly with a wide area and get above Groudon." Ash said.
Lycanroc used Stone Edge as a barrage of stones with rapid velocity and which looked like a Beam to Groudon and covered Groudon fully. Groudon was rampaging harshly and was using Precipice Blades but Lycanroc was above Groudon. Groudon felt such force that Groudon fainted.
"Ash, congrats on becoming Alola Champion. And Lorelei, congrats on becoming Master Champion. I would soon start the match." Cynthia said.
"Thanks." Ash said.
"Thank You Cynthia." Lorelei said.
"This would be a 1v1 as I am going to use Garchomp." Cynthia said and released Garchomp.
"Garchomp, use Earthquake." Cynthia said.
"Infernape, use Dig and then Flamethrower." Ash said.
Garchomp used Earthquake while Infernape used Dig and used Flamethrower inside. The Earthquake vibrations gave some damage to Infernape and Infernape used Flamethrower rapidly which made the field to be Lava. Garchomp tried to do Earthquake but was rapidly losing health to Lava so Garchomp jumped
"Use Poison Jab to be above Ground." Cynthia said.
Garchomp used Poison Jab such that Poison would fall like a beam to keep Garchomp above ground. This was to no avail and Infernape made the Lava to reach Garchomp by using Flamethrower under the ground and making the Lava to hit Garchomp. Garchomp was rapidly losing health and soon fainted.
"Garchomp, come back." Cynthia said and got Garchomp to its Pokeball.
Cynthia went to Ash and said, "Ash, you deserve the Land Badge." and Cynthia gave Ash the Land Badge.
"Looks like the training from Master Champion paid off?" Cynthia asked Ash.
"Yes, she helped me a lot." Ash said.
Ash and Lorelei left the Gym and walked to Haruba Village. Haruba Village was an oasis surrounded by a desert and has a lake next to it.
"I am going to swim in the Lake. Would you come with me?" Lorelei said.
"I would come." Ash said.
Lorelei and Ash went to the restroom and changed to Swimwear. Lorelei and Ash left the restroom and came to the Lake. Ash was blushing seeing Lorelei in a Swimwear.
"Would you like to race with me in Swimming?" Lorelei said.
"I sure would." Ash said.
"We would swim to the other side of the Lake and then back." Lorelei said.
Ash and Lorelei were racing but Lorelei swam much faster than Ash. Lorelei finished half of the race while Ash finished one eighth of the race.
"Swim faster, Ash. Try using your Aura." Lorelei said.
Ash swam much faster using Aura but still Lorelei reached the finish before Ash finished swimming half of the distance.
Ash reached the finishing point after some time. Ash and Lorelei went to the restroom and changed their clothes. Lorelei then released Articuno.
"Ash, the next Gym we are going to is Aqua Resort." Lorelei said.
Ash and Lorelei embarked on Articuno. Articuno flew for a long distance over the Ocean and had to navigate to avoid storms. Articuno then reached Aqua Resort and landed next to Aqua Resort Gym.
There was a Skyscraper which was the Aqua Resort Gym. Ash and Lorelei entered the Skyscraper which was filled with Steel Pokemons.
"Lycanroc, I choose you." Ash said and released Lycanroc from the Pokeball. Lycanroc used Stone Edge to any approaching Steel Pokemon in their path.
Ash and Lorelei went to the Rooftop where there was Dialga.
"Lycanroc, use Stone Edge and get above Dialga."
Lycanroc used Stone Edge as a beam on Dialga and using the force of the beam, Lycanroc jumped to be above Dialga. Lycanroc hit Dialga with such a force that Dialga rampaged harshly in Air and went over Lycanroc.
"Lycanroc, use Accelerock and Stone Edge." Ash said.
Lycanroc then was landing on Dialga while using Accelerock on Dialga along with Stone Edge. After Lycanroc landed on Dialga, Lycanroc used Stone Edge on Dialga which cause Dialga to loose stamina and then Dialga soon fainted.
Ash and Lorelei then reached the Stadium and saw Steven in the other side.
"This would be a 1v1 match with my Metagross." Steven said and released Metagross.
"Lycanroc, use Accelerock." Ash said.
"Metagross, use Meteor Mash." Steven said.
Lycanroc and Metagross hit each other with their attacks and Metagross landed on the side of the stadium so harshly that Metagross was finding it hard to get up.
"Lycanroc, use Stone Edge." Ash said.
Lycanroc used Stone Edge and hit Metagross with a barrage of Stone Edge attacks.
"Metagross, get in the Air and use Giga Impact." Steven said.
Metagross got up in the air and then used Giga Impact on Lycanroc but to Steven's surprise, Lycanroc did not move. Lycanroc used Stone Edge as a beam on Metagross who was Levitating.
"Metagross, use Zen Headbutt and hit the Beam." Steven said.
Metagross used Zen Headbutt but was moving so slowly and was soon pushed to the Ceiling. Metagross tries to move on the Ceiling but was tracked by Lycanroc. Metagross was losing health rapidly.
"Metagross, use Psychic to stop the beam."
Metagross tried to use Psychic to stop but it did not work. Metagross soon fainted.
"Lycanroc, you did excellent." Ash said and returned Lycanroc to its Pokeball.
"Ash, you deserve the Nickel Badge." Steven said and went to Ash to give him the badge.
Ash and Lorelei went to the rooftop park on the Skyscraper and then Lorelei released Articuno. Ash and Lorelei flew to the beach at Aqua Resort.
Ash and Lorelei went to a table near the beach and sat there. Lorelei gave Ash some berries to eat. Ash ate those berries along with Lorelei.
Lorelei released her Articuno and Ash and Lorelei embarked on Articuno which flew back over the oceans for some time and then the mountains to reach the high valley. Ash and Lorelei then slept on the grass on the High Valley.
