Okay I'm going take this time to answer somethings in the reviews.
Lightningblade49: You are partly correct, I am saving heavy hitters for later fights, but mostly because I want to focus on Ash's unevolved Pokémon, and underrated Pokémon. Since I feel most of them if not all them should have evolved.
Also in case I forgot to mention it, Pikachu will evolve. I'm not sure if I'll evolve him into regular or Alola form. I more leaning on regular Raichu because if you look at his Pokémon, he usually gives them mix sets, or more physical and a regular Raichu is a mix attacker. Let me know what you guys think.
Also he is a list of legendries Ash will catch: Mew, Mewtwo, Celebi, Suicune, Ho-Oh, Latias, Latios, Shiny Rayquaza, Azelf, Giratina, Darkrai, Shaymin, Zekrom, Reshiram, Meloetta, Hoopa, Marshadow, Solgaleo or Lunala(you guys choose, and Lillie will get the other), (Incase people forgot, Ash already has Zygarde) If you feel there should be another Pokémon let me know.
Martyn: I have no plans for Hau appear anytime soon because I don't know how to add him yet, maybe in a later chapter.
Pokémon fan: Not for a while, While Daisy will be the first to come to the Alola region, she did not come to visit Ash, he just so happened to be there when she came. Leaf will be the only girl who will come to the Alola region to visit Ash, other girls with also go to Alola but for different reasons. Now in this chapter the Ash will face Hala in a 3 on 3 battle, with 1 new Pokémon, 1 of Ash's Pokémon that I feel is underrated, and 1 Pokémon hasn't used in a long time.
Also Ash will face other Totem Pokémon for the Z-Crystals he doesn't do trials for. For example he will face a Totem Pokémon for Flyinium Z before going to Akala Island. Now on with story.
"Go Breakneck Blitz!" Ash shouted as he was currently training with one of his Pokémon.
After getting rid of Rattata and Raticate, and being informed that he would face Hala in a Grand Trial match, Ash had been training nonstop with his newly rotated team. They were all as excited as he was, and had been working nonstop. He had been training his team in secretly, since he wanted to surprise his friends. Once they were fed, and taken to the center, Ash returned to Kukui's house.
Once he fed Pikachu and Rockruff, he then went to eat his own breakfast, while Kukui was currently reading the paper.
"Hey check this out." Kukui said, as he Rotom came over to investigate.
Let's few days ago a young man by the name of Ash Ketchum with the help Totem Pokémon, and his allies, as well with Kahuna Hala were able to drive off the Rattata and Raticate. Now today that same young man will taking on Hala in Grand Trial today. Furthermore Ash will receive a commendation certificate.
"That's awesome." Ash said, as he heard the news.
Suddenly there was a knock at door, and as Ash opened the door, to greet Officer Jenny, along with the Gumshoos he had battle.
"Alola, good to see." She greeted.
"Hi, Officer Jenny, you too Gumshoos." Ash greeted back.
"Well, well as partner, I give it the heart stamp of approval." Kukui said.
"Thanks to all your hard work, I was able to find a very good partner. Thank you some much." She thanked as she and Gumshoos saluted them.
"Wow good for you Gumshoos, that's really cool." Ash congratulated.
"It obvious that Gumshoos is a tenacious and patient stakeout Pokémon. I estimate compatibility with Officer Jenny to be 99.9%." Rotom added, causing Gumshoos brake out into a grin.
"Ash, I understand that you'll be taking place in the Grand Trial today." Jenny stated.
"Right." He quickly responded.
"Wonderful, I like to drive you to Iki Town, in my patrol car. May I?" She asked.
"That be great, I love to do that." Ash asked.
"Thank very much, you drove a long way just to give Ash a ride." Kukui stated.
Realizing she had forgotten something, she held out a folder, "Thanks for reminding me, here's Ash commendation certificate. As represented of Melemele Island I present this certificate thanking you for your heroic work." Jenny informed, as she handed him the folder.
"Thanks a lot Officer Jenny." Ash thanked with a smile.
Once Ash gathered everything, they all headed to Iki were Hala was already waiting. Hala and Ash then headed to Ruins of Conflict, where they did a pre-match ceremony.
"Today we will perform on a Grand Trial Battle with are young challenger Ash, I now ask Tapu Koko, Guardian of Conflict, to bestow upon us, the power Alola, of all the islands." Hala said in a meditative stances.
"Please Tapu Koko this will be my Grand Trial with Kahuna Hala, so I want you to watch it." Ash add.
Once he was allowed to moves, Ash began stretching, as he turned to Hala.
"So tell me Kahuna Hala, do you think Tapu Koko heard us?" He questioned.
"I would say there's a good possibility Tapu Koko heard us, but Island Guardian go, Tapu Koko follows its own path." Hala answered.
However as he finished they then heard Tapu Koko's voices as they looked around, to see nothing. After returning back into the town, there was a large crowd of people who came watch the trial, and in the crowd there were Ash's classmates, Lillie's butler, Sophocles' parents, Lana's mother, and her two twin sisters. Having battled in front of a large crowd before, Ash was use to the amount of people.
"Hey guys." Ash said, as he walked up to his friends.
"Hey Ash, we came to cheer you on." Mallow said.
"Thanks guys." Ash replied.
"Good luck, Young Master Ash." James then added.
"Yes do your best." Lana's mother also added.
Ash thanked the both of them as he walked to the area, as he reached there Lana's sisters decided to embarrass her.
"Are you rooting for your boyfriend?" They said, at the same time.
Lana's face immediately turned red, as she responded, "No, no, no! He is not my boyfriend!"
Hearing her outburst, Lana's mother couldn't help but giggle, while Lillie and Mallow could help but feel a slight sting at the mentioning of the word boyfriend. Once on the battlefield, Kukui took stance as the referee, while Ash and Hala went to their respected sides.
"Attention Competitors, the Grand Trial between Kahuna Hala and the Challenger Ash Ketchum is now prepared to get underway." Kukui began.
"It truly an honor to battle you." Both Hala, and Ash said at the same time.
As the two got ready to release their Pokémon, Ash's friends were talking amongst themselves.
"So does anyone what Pokémon, Ash will be using?" Sophocles couldn't help but ask.
Everyone shook their head, as they returned their attention back to the battle.
"Rowlet, I choose you." Ash said, as called out his first choice.
"It'll be asleep, just watch." Rotom stated remembering all the times Rowlet would fall asleep while training.
However Rowlet surprised Rotom, as he came out wide awake. "I've never seen Rowlet appear awake."
Seeing Ash's first choice, Hala then called out his first choice. "Crabrawler come out."
From Hala's Pokéball emerged a purple crab-like Pokémon with large blue claws.
"Crabrawler." The Pokémon called out its name, as it struck forward with its claws.
"A Crabrawler? Rotom?" Ash questioned, as he turned to Rotom.
"My greatest pleasure." Rotom stated as he gave Ash the info. Crabrawler, the boxing Pokémon. A Fighting type. Crabrawler is always aiming to be number one. Crabrawler will guard its weak spots with its claws in battle and throw punches, looking for an opening.
"Since Rowlet is a Flying type, it's a good match for our side." Rotom then added.
From a distance Tapu Koko, was hiding behind a tree as it watching the match with a calculating eye.
"Rowlet start off with Peck." Ash began.
With his beak glowing Rowlet quickly slammed into Crabrawler sending him back, before it got back up.
"Crabrawler use Bubble Beam." Hala ordered.
"Crab, brawler!" The Pokémon shouted, as it sent several bubbles at Rowlet.
"Rowlet use Razor Leaf, then follow up with Peck."
Unleashing a series of sharp leaves, they easily sliced up the Bubble Beam, before slamming in Crabrawler. Then racing towards Crabrawler, Rowlet's beak glowed at he slammed into his opponent.
"Crabrawler Power-Up Punch/Rowlet Double Team!"
With his claw glowing orange, threw his claw forwards, as Rowlet avoided the attack, as he multiplied himself.
"Now Energy Ball."
Creating a green sphere, Rowlet fired it, sending Crabrawler flying before crashing on the ground and struggled to get up.
"Rowlet finish off with Peck."
"Use your claws to guard." Hala, shouted.
Raising his claws, Crabrawler managed to successfully stop Rowlet attack
"Brutal Swing."
Moving quickly, Crabrawler managed to grab one of Rowlet's wings, and he began sinning around, before tossing him. Rowlet let out a cried, as he flew, before he managed to regain control of himself.
"Rowlet use Double Team and follow up with Razor Leaf."
Duplicating himself again, the Rowlets now surround Crabrawler, before unleashing another barrage of leaves. Crabrawler attempts to shield himself were to no avail as he was pushed back. Using the opportuning to get in close for another peck.
"Crabrawler use Payback."
Unleashing a dark aura, Rowlet was struck hard as he fell. Rushing forward Crabrawler then smashed into Rowlet with a Power-Up Punch. After punching Rowlet, Crabrawler glowed a red aura.
"Crabrawler's attack power went way up." Rotom said astonished.
Once Rowlet shook off the attack, he returned to the field with more determination.
"Alright Rowlet use Synthesis."
Glowing, Rowlett began healing as Crabrawler was panting.
"Crabrawler, use Rock Tomb."
Catching Ash a little off guard Crabrawler created several rocks before launching them.
"Quick use Double Team."
Despite managing to create several duplicates, Rowlet was hit by two of rock one hitting his wing causing forcing him to the ground.
"Crabrawler let's end this with Brick Break!"
As Crabrawler neared, Ash knew he had one chance.
"Shadow Claw!"
With his uninjured wing glowing and purplish-black aura, Rowlet slash at his opponent. Having taken so much damaged Crabrawler collapsed with swirls in his eyes.
"Crabrawler is unable to battle." Kukui announced.
Everyone was cheering through the battle, and were excited to see more. As Hala returned Crabrawler, as also returned Rowlet since he would be able to fight much longer due to the injured wing.
"Mankey, come on out." Hala called out his 2nd Pokémon.
From his Pokéball emerged a Pokémon was all too familiar with. It was bipedal with a round body, shaggy fur, a long tail, and a pig nose. However since Rotom never seen one he took a brief scan.
Mankey, the Pig Monkey Pokémon. A Fighting type. It can spontaneously become enraged. Everyone near it clears out as it rampages, and the resulting loneliness makes it angrier still.
Looking Mankey also could tell that not only was powerful, but also close to evolving.
"Buizel I choose you."
From Ash's Pokéball emerged an orange weasel with a yellow collar around his neck.
"Bui, Bui!" The Sea Weasel Pokémon called out.
Once two called their next the match continued.
"Buizel start off with Water Pulse."
Creating a blue sphere his paws, Buizel threw at Mankey who was quick to counter.
"Mankey use Karate Chop!"
With its arms glowing Mankey brought it down, and smashed the attack. How this didn't deter Buizel, as he broke into a grin at the fact he was facing a strong opponent.
"Mankey use Cross Chop."
"Buizel Aqua Tail."
With its arms in an x formation, Mankey charged forward. Then as Mankey drew near, Buizel's tail soon was surround by water. Then Buizel flipped into the air as he slammed the vortex of water down onto Mankey, who ended up planted face first into the ground.
"Now Ice Punch."
With his paw glowing an icy blue, Buizel attempted to slam his paw into Mankey, who managed to roll out of the way in time.
"Power-Up Punch/Thunder Punch!" Both trainer yelled.
Both Pokémon ran towards as there fist collided with a power struggle between the two. Neither Pokémon were willing to give in as they both struggled to overpower the other. Soon Mankey began winning the fight, until pushing himself Buizel managed to win the struggle. Sending Mankey back, Buizel now glowed a red aura as his attack increased.
"Buizel use Whirlpool."
Creating another vortex of water Buizel threw it at Mankey who was unable able to dodge. Soon Mankey was trap, as he was unable to break free.
"Buizel use Aqua Jet."
Diving into the whirlpool, Buizel used its current to his advantage as he slammed into Mankey knocking him out of the whirlpool.
"Now use Surf."
With his eyes glowing blue, a large wave appeared from under Buizel as he headed for Mankey.
"Mankey use Aerial Ace."
Disappearing for a second Mankey reappeared as he slammed into Buizel, with white streaks surrounding him. The attack knocked Buizel of the wave, as he fell onto his back. Mankey then attempted to smash his Thunder Punch on Buizel who managed to move out of the way.
"Buizel Bulk Up."
"Mankey you use Bulk Up as well."
The two grinned savagely as the glowed a red aura. Once they were done powering up the two charged at one another.
"Quick Attack, then Hydro Pump."
Moving faster than Mankey, Buizel managed to get behind it, as he the fired a large torrent of water. When Mankey turned around he was slammed into the ground, and completely drenched. Getting up Mankey as he began slammed his foot on the ground as he glowed. Growing larger Mankey's tail disappeared as he lost the fur on his arms, and legs. Soon the light died down as it reveal the new Pokémon.
"Primeape!"
Looking at Primeape, Buizel grinned as he began to glow as well. Growing larger, his fins also became larger, as well as his tails, and the collar around his neck. Soon the light disappear as Buizel called his new name.
"Floatzel!"
"Also Floatzel!" Ash congratulated his Pokémon as Hala congratulated his Pokémon.
They audience also cheered, as they witness the double evolution, while Rotom took data on Floatzel.
Floatzel, the Sea Weasel Pokémon, and the evolved form of Buizel. A Water type. Its flotation sac developed as an aid in chasing aquatic prey. Floatzel can also carry people on its back. Upon evolution Floatzel has learned the moves, Iron Tail, and Focus Punch.
Grinning the two Pokémon stared each other down, as they waited for the other to move.
"Primeape use Thunder Punch."
"Floatzel use Rain Dance then Ice Punch."
Charging forward with his fist cracking with electricity swung at Floatzel, who had just conjured up rain cloud, as water soon poured down. Then with incredible speed, Floatzel maneuvered out of way, as Primeape repeatedly swung and missed. Once Floatzel had a clear opening his fist glowing once again, as he struck Primeape right in the ribs. Flying back, Primeape was now struggling to get up.
"Floatzel use Hydro Pump."
Unleashing another torrent of water, Primeape was sent crashing again as he somehow managed to get on his feet again.
"Floatzel finish this with Ice Aqua Jet."
Encasing with water Floatzel uses forward as it Ice Punch began encasing it in ice.
"Primeape use Focus Blast."
In a last ditch effort, Primeape created a large blue sphere in its hands as Floatzel and the Focus Blast collided. But due to Primeape tiredness Floatzel over powered it as slammed into Primeape sending him back. Panting Primeape finally succumbed to his injuries as he collapsed.
"Primeape is unable to battle."
Everyone continued to cheer as the match raged on while Ash's friends continued to talk about the match.
"Ash is doing really well." Lillie said.
"Yah, if Ash keeps this up he'll win." Mallow added.
"But still can't let his guard down." Kiawe pointed out.
"Yah, mostly likely saved his best for last." Sophocles added.
"Don't worry Ash will win this." Lana stated.
Returning his Primeape, Hala then turned to his Hariyama.
"Alright Hariyama, then next battle is yours."
"Hari." The Pokémon stated as it walked on the battlefield.
Once Hariyama was on the stage Rotom gave Ash the information.
Hariyama, the Arm Thrust Pokémon. A Fighting Type. Hariyama's impressive bulk is actually all muscle. When its muscles are flexed, they are as hard as a rock. It is said that one hit from a Hariyama can send a 10-ton truck flying.
"Floatzel use Hydro Pump."
As Floatzel was about to unleash the attack, Hala made a quick counter.
"Hariyama, Fake Out."
With surprising speed, Hariyama appeared in font of Floatzel, as it slammed down its hands together. This caused Floatzel to flinch, as it stopped the attack.
"Now use Knock Off."
Slamming its hand onto Floatzel, it sent Floatzel flying as it crashed into the ground. Once Floatzel got up, it let out a growl as it glare at Hariyama.
"Floatzel use Water Pulse."
"Hariyama use Arm Thrust."
As Floatzel launch sphere, Hariyama's arms glowed as the brushed off the attack. Hariyama then continued towards Floatzel as it slammed its hands into Floatzel several times sending Floatzel. As Floatzel struggled to get up, Hariyama went for the finish.
"Now Hariyama use Close Combat."
Rushing forward Hariyama began a series of punches and kicks on Floatzel who could longer continue, and Floatzel fell to the ground.
"Floatzel is unable to battle."
Everyone continue to cheer, as Hala took his first victory. As the crowd was cheer, Ash grabbed his final choice as he called out an old friend.
"Primeape I choose you."
Releasing his own Primeape, he gave out a loud cry, as he began punching the air excited to battle.
"Primeape use Bulk Up."
Nodding Primeape began glowing as it began raising its stats.
"Hariyama use Force Palm."
Charging Primeape, Hariyama's hand glowed as it neared Primeape.
"Primeape dodge and use Low Sweep."
As Primeape easily move out of the way, it then kick the back of Hariyama's legs.

"Now Poison Jab."
With his fist glowing purple, Primeape jab Hariyama several before managed to push Primeape back with Force Palm. But as Hariyama stood, a dark purple mark appeared on its face. Hariyama then began as Ash recognized its ability Guts had been activated. As Primeape got up, he felt electrify surrounding as he felt paralyzes from the Force Palm.
"Hariyama use Smelling Salts."
Moving quickly Hariyama rushed forward as he slammed into Primeape, sending it crashing. With Smelling Salts curing the paralyses, Primeape got up more easily but had taken a good amount of damaged.
"Primeape and Hariyama are both going to run out of steam, I need to finish this." Ash stated as he looked at his Z-Ring.
"Hariyama use Belly Drum."
Hearing Hala, Hariyama then began pounding on its stomach. Seeing what Hala was doing Ash told his Primeape to use several Bulk Up. Once Hariyama was done powering up Hala began to use his Z-Move.
"I am the Kahuna, I make the wills of myself, Melemele, and Tapu Koko as one." Hala began said he lifted his right foot, a stomp it, before doing the same to his left foot, as his Hariyama mimicked his movements. "I am the Kahuna." Raising it arm over his head, he then brought in front of him, in an x-formation. He then began punching forward as he yelled out, "It is moment were are strength combine in to one." He finished with one final hard punch. The orange glow that surround Hala now made its way to Hariyama. While Hala was using his Z-Move, Ash began his Z-Moves.
"Alright its time Primeape." Ash said, as his Z-Crystal glowed.
Ash first held out his arm in an X position before bring them over his chest. He then return them to the x position in front of him, before bring his arms to his side, then making a Z formation.
"I feel it, Primeape and I are becoming 1, and making use stronger than any one of us."
"All Out Pummeling! Let's Go/Breakneck Blitz!" The two shouted.

Once all the fist were destroy, Hariyama clenched his fist, as he shot forward with a dark orange light follow behind him. The two Z-Moves collided, as they caused a massive explosion. From that explosion Hariyama flew off the stage as he crashed into the ground. As the smoke cleared it reveal Primeape panting but still standing.
"Melemele's Kahuna Hala's Hariyama is unable to battle, which means the winner of Melemele Grand Trial is the challenger Ash Ketchum." Kukui then announced.
"Alright great job Primeape." Ash said, as he went up to hug Primeape, who hugged back.
"Ash wins the trial, hooray." Rotom cheered.
Returning his Hariyama, Hala thanked it for his hard work.
"Kahuna Hala." Ash said, as he walked up to him.
Turning to Ash, Hala replied, "Thoroughly enjoyed, are splendid battle, young Ash. You, Rowlet, Floatzel, and Primeape gave it everything that you had."
"Thank you very much sir."
"As far as the Z-Move, it overflowed with the joy of accomplishment. I marvel on feeling your youthful, yet experience aura." Hala continued causing as to grin. "So as Melemele Kahuna, I hear by proclaim the Ash Ketchum has passed the Grand Trial!"

"It's your Fightinium Z, with this you'll be able to you the Fighting Type moves." Hala finished.
"Thank you so much." Ash said, as he took the Z-Crystal and held it up, as Rotom took a photo.
"Tapu Koko!"

"Professor Kukui?"
"Hala."
"Would it be alright if I host the celebration? I'm pleased Ash has pass his first Grand Trial, and it would give me great pleasure to throw a big party for him." Hala insisted.
"A course you may, what an honor I can't thank you enough."
"Since it's all decided, I must get start with preparations."
Later that day, the celebration went under way, as Ash would spend the night eating, chatting with his friends, and dancing with Lillie, Mallow, and Lana.
