"Okay, so Plumeria said that Guzma would be up here." Ash said, climbing a rock wall.

"Ash, are you sure that he is the best choice for this?" Rotomdex asked.

"No, but I don't want to overload the Kahunas." Ash said, as he grabbed another rock.

"Pika." Pikachu said, leaping on screen as the camera shook wildly.

"Pikachu! I told you not to do that! It ruins my shot!" Rotomdex said angrily.

"Relax Rotom, we aren't doing any research yet, you don't need to be recording." Ash said, as he reached for another rock.

"But I recorded the battle against Illima and you didn't have a problem with that." Rotomdex said.

Finally Ash reached a ledge where he could sit down and face Rotom.

"Okay, I guess we're doing this now. Hello future researchers. Ash Ketchum here, and today we are going to a sacred grove known to be a favorite place of Ula Ula Island's very own guardian Pokemon Tapu Bulu." Ash said. "Word has it that one of the top four trainers of the Manalo Conference, where I became champion, is up there meeting with the guardian." Ash continued. "On my journey to gather any remaining Z Crystals, I'm also taking time to gather an Elite Four for when I'm not here." Ash said. "And with any hope, he'll agree to it."

The camera feed cut off, then suddenly cut back on with the view now on a lush field.

"This is why I wanted to keep recording!" Rotomdex said.

"Pikachu use Quick Attack!"

The camera flew around, repositioning, to show the battle of Pikachu against Tapu Bulu.

"Sorry Champ, I didn't think Tapu Bulu would want to fight you, otherwise I wouldn't have told anyone where I was going." Guzma said offscreen.

"Don't worry about it. Now Pikachu use Iron Tail!" Ash called out.

Pikachu leapt into the air, striking the top of Tapu Bulu's head, sending the guardian Pokemon spinning backwards.

"Alright." Ash said, locking in a Z Crystal. "Pikachu use Corkscrew Crash!"

Tapu Bulu generated a light green energy charging at Pikachu as the duo used a z move against the grass type. Rotomdex repositioned himself, showing that Pikachu and Tapu Bulu were evenly matched both holding back the others advances.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted, his eyes glowing blue.

A large bolt of electricity shot out at Tapu Bulu, launching it into the side of the mountain, as the glow disappeared from around Ash, he was clearly already exhausted.

"Great work Pikachu." Ash said, catching his breath.

"Bulu." Tapu Bulu said, floating up to Ash. "Tapu Bululululu."

Out from one of Tapu Bulu's hooves flew a light green z crystal, floating right in front of Ash.

"I just gave them back, and he's already giving them out." Guzma chuckled. "Serves me right I suppose."

"Are you saying?" Ash asked, grabbing the crystal.

"That is a true bugium Z crystal, the real deal." Guzma said with his usual tone of voice. "Now can you tell me why you were looking for me?"

"Oh, right, I have a problem, and I'd like your help." Ash said.

"Don't tell me you lost your girlfriend again, I haven't seen anyone disappear." Guzma said angrily.

"No, no nothing like that, this is something I think you'll enjoy." Ash said. "But first, a test."
