Chapter 3: Calling To The Power Within

So I would like to thank FanIKR, thor 94, Write N Wrong, Dragon's Blaze, and Jack Wick for choosing pokemon,

Dragon Blaze: Kommo-o with Focus Blast, Jangmo-o is the closest thing I can do to follow leveling laws but don't worry he will be evolving

Write and Wrong: Choose Alolan Vulpix and she appeared in the last chapter as well but is still too young to battle so she won't be until sometime either this chapter or next.

Jack Wick (I like that name by the way) and thor 94, I hope I can do justice by you for your pokemon

And FanIKR: I think we will go with your second choice, I know how these pokemon work better after training five normal ones with different natures and a shiny one with pokerus on it.

Sorry for taking up so much time and if you posted a pokemon don't be sad it may appear later after all I am giving Ash about 30 different Alolan pokemon.

I finally fixed them.

In a den somewhere in the trial cave

We start today on the rocky terrain of route three in Alola region. This is where we see a small hole with a Pikachu drawn above the entrance. The drawing was carved into the stone but it definitely was not human made. In the den there were pictures of Pikachu and a trainer with a gunshot wound in the chest.

There was a ragged cloaked pokemon, with star shaped eyes and a wooden tail sticking out the back of its ragged costume. There are pictures of trainers and people the pokemon has hand drawn, the pokemon was looking at a trainer with blood seeping from his chest. A kid in a green shirt holding the knife was making the pokemon mad at the pictures and pointing its claws. Its anger still apparent and a dark aura radiating off said claw.

"Kyu." The ragged pokemon says as he looks out the den entrance and stares into nothing. Well it seemed like nothing to me and you but the pokemon was seeing something. Maybe it was a dreary future or a sad past but nothing was ever happy with this pokemon. The trainers who it lost and the people who have died from seeing his true form. It made it sad and scared.

Lillie POV

My dream started in the ocean. Deep in the ocean, the only light coming from a dragonic being slightly floating in the darkness. It's blue eyes glow, releasing a shining blue light that lights up the area around us. The beautiful being with silver scaly like skin, moved with the current and waves bobbing up and down. It seems to be asleep not even flinching when being moved. The waters of the ocean seemed to obey this being. Letting the being sleep in peace seeming to wait for a signal from an outside source. This pokemon looked familiar. I had seen this being before, was it a pokemon, an ultra beast perhaps, I knew I had seen it somewhere, but where. "Young child you seem to know my chosen one." It spoke to me telepathically like I knew who it's chosen one was. But I don't know what this being is or even by chance who it's chosen one was. "If Ash is your chosen one then yes. But may I ask your name. You look familiar to me." I say as the pokemon laughs. "Follow the music, the notes will reveal me to you, the world once turned to ash and now ash turns to the sea." The pokemon said and I woke up.

I woke up to the sound of a flute. It was playing a soothing sound that seemed to speak a story (Lugia's song, from the movie). It was night time that was sure but there was a sea green glow to the landscape. "That song I know." I say to myself as it continues and I follow it, it felt almost like the ground was responding to the song. I felt vibrations under my feet even from inside the house. I walked outside and saw Ash on the beach standing with a black cloak on, he had a silver flute in his hands and was playing the instrument from memory. He was playing the sweet tune, the one that calmed the world and ocean around us. He had a silver feather they gleamed in the moon light and the moonlight reflected off them from around his neck. They were connected to a chain with a blue bell that looked like the deep sea bell from the Johto region. The song, I finally knew how I knew it, Ash knew it note for note and that's how I started to realise how I recognised it. It was on the news about 6 years ago. When the three legendary titans were awakened and the world was fated to end.

Then the world was about to end and a child saved it all. An eleven year old child. "And thus the world turns to Ash." A voice says in my head. "You are the correct child. The song is the same as the one from six years ago he was the one who saved the world. And he did it even more after that incident, he met every legendary, saved just as many." The voice from before said. Ash was our savior, no wonder the tapu's saw him worthy of the Z-ring, he never told us. He never told me. I walked over and stood behind him a bit as the song continued. He continued to play the song, and as he got closer to the end the song got quieter. So I ran and hid behind some bushes in case something were to happen. Then something in the sea began to rise up and let off a cry of power. The water beneath the being began to bubble and seemed to breath. Then the glow disappeared and the only sound was the flute. The water seemed to obey the being almost like he was controlling it.

"Chosen One." It said facing Ash and Ash bowed. He had stopped playing the flute, setting it down next to him. The flute was beautiful, made of silver and what looked like gold. On it was a great silver feather that gleamed in the moonlight. Ash also seemed to be glowing slightly. A pale blue like when I had touched him the first time, when he had faced Gary. "Hi Lugia." Was all Ash said as he began to tear up. "Chosen One what is wrong, why are you crying." The pokemon now identified as Lugia said to Ash as he stood up. "They betrayed me, old friend and you all saved me, helped me even. Yet there is nothing for me to do in return." Ash said to the beautiful creature before us. "I just wanted to say thank you for that." Lugia nodded and then looked at me and smiled. "You're not alone anymore Ash. You have a beautiful girl in love with you and you love her. You made love out of hatred and power out of loss. You made friends who pulled you from the darkness of life and made you new. Hau and Lillie and more are on the way. You also have your friends from all over the world. Rivals that didn't leave you, Bianca from Alto Mare in Johto. And even more in between" Ash seemed to be frozen right then and there. "Lugia there is someone one here I want you to meet." Ash said to the being as I walked out of the bushes and stood next to him. "She's a keeper, Chosen One. oh and before I forget Arceus told me to give you a message if I ever saw you. The keeper of the Brooklet and the guard of the jungle, shall be with a child named for a tree. He also told me to tell you to watchout for the other legends. They are ready to join you for your deeds you helped them with." Ash looked shocked and was about to protest but Lugia sank back into the water.

"Ash who are you really." I ask him as he turns towards me. "16 missing trainers in 2011, The world saved, 2012 and many more like it all over the world, look up world's most mysterious events in the past decade and you will find pictures of me with Legendaries the world over." He said as he clipped the silver feathers to his hoodie. When I caught a glimpse of what was in the hoodie's inner collar I saw a green feather and a rainbow colored feather. "Come on let's head back to the house." He said picking me up and carrying me like a new bride, back to the cabin. He took me to his room and laid me down on the bed. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew it was morning and we were back in his bed with the young Vulpix on my chest.

Ash POV

What Lugia said to me last night made me think. I remember when I studied the map of Melemele I don't remember a brooklet or a jungle anywhere. "Must be on a different island, but first it's trial day." I walked outside to see an avian pokemon sitting on the banister. The pokemon was a woodpecker by the looks of its beak, it had a black feathered body with a white under belly. It had green eyes and a pink striped plumage on his head. "Dexter, what is this pokemon called?" I ask for my pokedex. "Pikipek the woodpecker pokemon. A flying/normal type, These Pokémon drill holes in trees and store food in the holes. They also like small, glittering objects and will tuck them away in their food stores, too. It's often said, "Something lost, something missed, check inside the Pikipek nest."." Dexter said, chirping out information about the pokemon before me. "What's up little one or are you the bird that professor talked about with me yesterday." The Pikipek made a tweeting noise then tapped a pokeball and was sucked in. "Well that happened." I said as I picked up the pokeball after it pinged.

"Well, well, well, well, the little one finally chose a trainer." Bernet said as she walked out on the porch for her morning jog. "I was going to introduce you two and see what she would do but it looks like she answered my question. She never hid, her curiosity towards trainers and I was curious what would happen if a trainer approached her." Burnet said as she took the pokeball from me and called out the little one. "So you wanted to join him. You were waiting for a trainer to choose you weren't you." The Pikipek looked at me then nodded it's head and flew onto my shoulder. "So you know something we don't. Maybe you will move onto greatness." Burnet said and passed me the pokeball again. "Just be careful, she can be curious about the smallest things and is drawn to anything shiny. She is also very curious about me and your dad, we learned over the years that we have been married." Burnet said as the Pikipek flew to her and rested on top of her head. "I think it's time that I learned everyone's moves." I say calling everyone out. They all tackled me to the ground and hugged me. Pikipek was even in the hug. She used her wings to hug me around the neck which tickled a little bit. "Dexter I need to know what moves everyone knows so tell me the moves for Rowlet, Pikipek, Jangmo-o, Vulpix, and Rockruff."

"Alright Ash,

Rowlet: Leafage, Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf, Aerial Ace, and Air cutter, Steel Wing, Energy Ball. Egg Move: Ominous Wind, and Spite. Unlocked

Pikipek: Quick Attack, Aerial Ace, Air Cutter, Wing Attack, Flame Charge. Egg Move: Boomburst, Mirror Move. Not unlocked

Rockruff: Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Tackle, Leer, Bite Rock Climb. Egg Moves: Fire Fang, Thunder Fang. Unlocked

Jangmo-o: Dragon Rage, Focus Blast, Dragon Pulse, Focus Punch, Aerial Ace. Egg Moves: Draco Meteor. Not unlocked

Vulpix: Blizzard, Dazzling Gleam, Ice Beam. Egg Move: Moonblast. Not Unlocked."

"Thank you, Dexter." I say as the five of them sit on the beach. "I think for my first trial I will bring Rockruff, Rowlett, and Jangmo-o because I haven't had a chance to bond with Pikipek yet and Vulpix is still far too young." They all nodded and I returned the two I wasn't using and handed them to Burnet telling her to keep them safe for me until I got back. Then I left. Half way up route 1, Lillie and Hau met up with me and decided to come with me and we tackled our biggest challenge today. Going through the city. Let's start with the fact that the city was about three miles long. However versus some of the other cities I have traveled through, it was nicer, calmer, quieter, and the people were nicer.

Then there were the stores. Burnet ended up spotting us halfway down the strip. She talked about how I needed new clothes cause the old ones were starting to get a little small. With the mention of this Lillie grabbed my arms and dragged me to the mall. We spent three hours looking for clothes for me because Lillie couldn't decide on one outfit.

When we finally got to the route we were all so tired that we went to the pokecenter and took a nap. When we woke up we got our stuff together and left. We had a hill to climb and it was pretty steep. We also met new trainers who wanted to walk with us to the trial site. "So what are your guys' names." we ask the two. "You can call us Sun and Moon, but our real names are Mason, and Troy." The one with black hair and brown eyes said. He was pale but not too light complected. The other was tan with blonde hair and blue eyes that were full of mirth. "So Mason why do they call you Moon." "They don't call me Sun because I am the opposite of what people think, same with my brother, he is Moon because he prefers Ice and Ghost types where I as Sun prefer Fire and Grass types. But we train all types." Mason explains to us as we got to route two and see the trial captain waiting for us.

"Ah the trial goers, welcome to the trial." The kid said as he flicked his pink hair out of his face. "Now Moon since you won the coin toss, how about you go first." He nodded and walked into the cave. He was a seasoned newbie you could tell he had the confident walk and the even more confident smirk on his face. When he entered the cave Illima blocked us from entering. "Only one at a time may enter the cave but don't worry there are enough totem pokemon for all of you to take on." He said to us.

An hour later Moon came back. He was holding the crystal in his left hand as his right was covered in ice, he also had cut marks, was shaken from something and he seemed to be in shock. His clothes were either burned or were to damp and seemed to be weighing him down. "Why did you not warn me about this, there was so much ice thrown at me and that damn grass type kept healing why did you do this to me." He asked and I could tell he was pissed. "Moon what pokemon was your trial pokemon that you had that many attacks thrown your way." "There were so many elements, why was he the Totem pokemon? I am going to have PTSD for my entire life." He said to us as we all backed away from him. "Alright next person."

Timeskip just wanted to add this for fun: Ash POV

"Alright Ash go ahead this is your turn. Judging from all the damage you all had the only left is Gunshoos the strongest (by himself) Totem pokemon, he usually works alone so you only need two pokemon for the trial." Illima said to me as I was allowed to walk into the cave. I should have practiced more because I was not ready for the beast of a pokemon that appeared before me. Illima wasn't wrong about this pokemon it worked alone and seemed to have a high attack power. "Alright Rowlet and Jangmo-o take the stage." I said trying a new battle signal out. The totem moved around the battlefield like he was a snake with legs. Rocks were not an issue to this pokemon.

"Rowlet stealth mode and take to the sky." He nodded and flew up. "Jangmo-o try to use that aura trick I taught you and see where Gumshoos is going to be." I told my dragon friend who nodded and started to shake his scales that started to glow blue. (No not charging scales I will figure out how to represent them later.) His head started to move pointing in the direction that Gumshoos was. "Rowlet followed Jangmo-o's head and tried to take Gumshoos by surprise." Rowlet seemed to disappear from view, flying through the air without making a sound. "Jangmo-o time to take control, use Focus Blast and start bringing out Gumshoos hiding places." Jangmo-o fired balls of blue energy at the rocks that blocked their paths and into holes in the wall bringing the Gumshoos out of hiding and into the middle of the field. "Rowlet it's time." My owl pokemon nodded and flew down next to me. "Here we go." I yell out and bring out my Z-ring. "Just like the professor taught us, cross over the chest." When I got into this position Rowlett and Jangmo-o followed crossing their arms across their chest. "Arms at the side, cross in front. Flap arms like wings crouch down and hug legs in a fetal position. Follow through all the way up and point fist to the ceiling. Call out the name of the attack. Supersonic Skystrike. And let the pokemon do the rest." I say as I go over the notes Kukui gave me on the flying type z-move. Jangmo-o and Rowlett flew up and seemed to disappear then came flying back down and caused a crater when they connected with Gumshoos. Gumshoos was at the center of the crater knocked out. But me and my pokemon were panting and barely standing.

"Ash the crystal it didn't disappear you used your first Z-move." Lillie said running over to me as I left the cave with the Gumshoos helping me. It handed me three rhombus shaped crystals and ran back into the cave. "Well done Ash you have passed your first trial, but the next thing is against the Kahuna, Halu is not a person to mess with and take lightly I would suggest that you train and train hard." We all nodded and went to the pokecenter to heal our pokemon. Illima came with us in case there was something more wrong with me besides exhaustion. Then he saw the other crystal the Gunshoos gave me.

"Wait is that the Snorlium-Z Crystal that is rare usually you get that from an Snorlax on Poni. Eh no matter when you are ready I will teach you how to use it." Illima said to me as I returned my pokemon. Nurse Joy had sent them in here after I healed up. The pokecenter released me after declaring I was just exhausted, but I was still feeling tired and I could barely walk so Moon helped me to the motel down the street. "Ash that was intense, no wonder you are so tired. Two pokemon, one Z-move that hasn't been done since Z-moves first appeared and that was only because they were fighting Ultra Beast." Moon said as he helped me to a bed and I laid down. "Just relax and get some sleep." He told me as he left the room. I followed what he told me and fell asleep wondering what to do when it came time to battle the Kahuna I would be ready.

Lillie POV: after the events of the trial.

I was surprised by how well Ash did on his trial. Most new trainers have a really hard time on Gumshoos and even harder time getting through the cave. But those are the ones that do not get a hold of a fighting type such as Crabrawler or Makuhita. But Ash didn't have them. He had Jangmo-o and Rowlett and I was unclear of Jangmo-o's moves. But now I was in his room alone, with him lying there being all cute. Since we started dating I noticed that every little thing that was cute about him. The way he drooled in his sleep, the way he ran into danger for this world and his friends. Although that was really hot when he did that.

But then I thought about the lines Lugia said. "The Keeper of the Brooklet, and the Guardian of the Jungle, shall be with the child named for a tree." The only thing I could think was that two more girls were going to be with Ash. I was actually fine with that, and not for the reasons you think. I have always been willing to share my things. There was my boyfriend in high school, but then that turned into a girl stealing him away from me. Damn it Hau. Yes me and Hau had a thing in grade school but he was stolen by this girl named Mina only for her to go missing a week before graduation. But that was a year ago. I was still fine with sharing Ash cause I knew he would spend time with all of us equally.

Speaking of the devil I checked him and kissed him on the cheek as I left, I was sad but I knew if I didnt I would never be walking out of the room. "Just a mild case of exhaustion." The doctor said to me as I walked into the hallway. "Thank you, doctor can I leave him here and be sure he is safe." Moon and Hau nodded and Sun walked with me out. We were going to get some supplies and something to eat for all of us.

The next morning we were all outside and the thoughts of sharing Ash came back to my mind. I was thinking about what the other girls might look like. The Keeper of the Brooklet she would probably have natural blue hair. Specialize in water type pokemon probably be obsessed with finding a legendary pokemon like Lugia. She would have blue eyes and wear a one piece under her clothes in case she ever wanted to go for a swim. The Guardian of the Jungle. She would probably be willing to get down and dirty in the mud. She would have long green hair and jungle green eyes. Specialize in grass types for sure. She would probably love to cook as the jungle is a place needed for survival so you would have to learn to cook for sure. The more I thought about it the more I wanted it to happen. I wanted to hurry up and meet these girls. I needed other girls around to help me with Ash and Hau. Hau because he was like a child in an adult skin.

"Lillie you there." I hear Ash's voice say and I snap back to reality. "Yeah I'm here, coming." I realized I had fallen behind. Hau and Ash were already halfway up route 3.

Ash POV:

We were half way up route three, when I realised Lillie was not with us. "Lillie you coming or what." I yell back to her as she climbs up a little faster now that I had her attention. "Yeah I'm here, coming." Then she ran up the hill and met up with me and Hau. Sun and Moon stayed back to do something about training. But I think that they just wanted to capture new pokemon. They now knew I was strong and if we were going to be rivals than they needed to get stronger. We walked for about ten minutes when out of nowhere this crab like pokemon appeared skated past us. "Hey isn't that a Crabrawler." Hau asks as it turns towards us. "CRABB!" It growled out and fired a bubble beam at us. However the attack never connected. A ragged pokemon with a shadowed claw appeared and made a green barrier in front of us taking the blunt of the attack. "Kyu." The pokemon said in defiance to the crab pokemon. "Brawl." Crabrawler said back. They stared at each other and we just snuck around them. The ragged pokemon moved with us, keeping guard with its small body. "Dexter who is this pokemon."

"Mimikyu, the disguise pokemon. A ghost/fairy type. Mimikyu lives its life completely covered by its cloth and is always hidden. People believe that anybody who sees its true form beneath the cloth will be stricken with a mysterious illness. People in the Alola region are convinced that you must never try to peek beneath its covering. Mimikyu's health fails when it's bathed in the rays of the sun, so it prefers to stick to dark places. It's rumored that the reason it covers itself with a cloth is to avoid sunlight.

Mimikyu has the Disguise Ability, a new Ability that no Pokémon has ever before possessed. The Disguise Ability allows it to escape damage from an enemy's attack just one time, and then its appearance changes."

My pokedex chimed letting me know what this pokemon is and what it had for an ability. "Hau, you and Lillie need to get down the rest of the route, I know this is cliche but by the looks of him, Crabrawler is a fighting type and they have a lot of physical power." They both nodded and Hau called out his Popplio who knew Protect and this was in case the Crabrawler changed targets.'Alright Mimikyu' I think to myself keeping the Crabrawler focused on me. I reach for a couple of empty pokeballs silently with one hand. While on the other hand I grabbed Pikipek and Rowlett's pokeball. "Give Mimikyu a hand Rowlett, Pikipek." I say calling out my Avian pokemon. "Kyu." Mimikyu said and stood next to my pokemon. "Rowlett Ominous Wind, Pikipek Aerial Ace." I call to my pokemon who follow the orders and fire the respective attacks at the crab pokemon as Mimikyu fires what I assume was a Shadow Claw at the helpless pokemon. When the attacks stopped the Crabrawler was barely standing but was not going to give up and stood strong once more only to collapse to the ground. "Kyu." Mimikyu nodded to the crab as I pulled out two empty pokeballs. "I hate doing this but you need medical help and maybe a trainer would also be good for you. They could help you understand the idea of being friendly towards all until they show you they are aggressive. Maybe even get you to understand the idea of bonding." I say to the Crabrawler as I tap him with a pokeball.

"And as for you Mimikyu you could be a useful friend to me if you want I can take you with me or you can stay out here in the wild. I will leave this pokeball with you. It is inactive and won't catch you if you touch the button. But the choice is yours." I say passing him the ball and he takes it into his hand. "Now you saw where those two ran off two right I live near there in a cabin by the sea. If you want to find me just go to that cabin." I tell the pokemon as I walk away.

Two days later, it was time for me to get ready for the battle against the Kahuna. I had been training non stop with Rowlett, Pikipek, and Vulpix. "Now you three are my best shot to win here." I tell my three pokemon as they all nod and get into their battle stance. "Ash, this little one wanted to talk to you." Lillie said as she hands me a rag doll looking pokemon. "Ah Mimikyu have you made your decision." I say as I step toward Lillie, who passed me Mimikyu. Mimikyu then proceeded to sit on my shoulder and just stay there. "I take it as you wanna come with me." He nodded from my shoulder and so I pulled out a Friend Ball and showed it to him.

"This, Mimikyu was a present from a friend of mine in Johto named Lyra. This pokeball is called a friend ball and it will help me make you more friendly towards me. We can't have you going into a rage and harmonize with me." I say as I pull out the ball. "It is made from a delicious fruit in Johto called Apricorns." The ball itself had a green upper casing with red, orange, and yellow petal designs on it. Its lower casings were white like a normal pokeball. "Th…thank you." I hear the shaky voice of Mimikyu as he touches it with his claw. The pokemon was sucked in the ball with a green beam of energy and as it shook small seeds would be spat out of the little sacks on the top. The ball clicked and I picked it up. "Alright I caught a Mimikyu." Rowlett and Crabrawler ran over to me and made excited noises. "Ash these seeds we should plant them and see if we can get Apricorns here and make some more of those pokeballs for your friends." I nodded and picked up the seeds and put them in my bag as well as Mimikyu's pokeball. "I'll call him back out when we get back to the lab." I say to her and we take the seeds back.

"Come back out bud." The ball popped open and revealed that the ball had done his job and made Mimikyu more friendly towards me but he seemed also more confused. "I bet you're looking for either my other pokemon or that Crabrawler that attacked me yesterday and I have to say that you and him have a lot in common now." Mimikyu smiled and began to look around. "Well they are resting inside for the day. We have a big battle tonight and you all bedd your rest." He nodded and I pulled out a poke bean that I got from a guy with a straw hat. "I bet you're a little hungry too here so eat up. I may need your help today." I say and he nods and munches down on the bean. A couple of hours later we are standing in an arena facing an older man in a yellow robe and blue shorts. 'He may have been old' I tell myself 'but he must have some power if he is the island Kahuna.' "Alright Ash, since you went last on the trail you are lady here." The Kahuna said to me. "So welcome to your Kahuna fight with Kahuna Halu." The man now identified as Halu said to me

"Here we go Makuhita." Halu said with such command it would make my Tauros flinch. "Vulpix, don't fail me now." I say throwing my youngest member out. "Makuhita starts things off with Force Palm." Halu said like he knew I would start with an ice type. "Vulpix don't be afraid, distract him with Dazzling Gleam then, follow it up with Moonblast." I say to her as she fires off the two powerful attack causing Makuhita to flinch back when the Dazzling Gleam goes off. Vulpix then fired a ball of pink energy at the guts pokemon. There was a big explosion then everything was quiet. There was a silence then Makuhita appeared from the smoke taking two steps before falling to the ground. "Makuhita is unable to battle the winner is Vulpix." The ref called as we both returned our pokemon. "Alright Ash way to go. Two more to go." Lillie shouts to me. She is riled up and you could hear it in her voice. "Pikipek takes flight." I say as I think back to my Unova journey and the gym leader Skyla who was a high spirited girl. "This is for you Skyla." I say to myself. "Crabrawler time for us to shine." The crab pokemon appeared on the field. "Don't waste time Pikipek take to the air and use Peck." My friend followed the order and took off towards the crab pokemon. "Use Ice Beam Crabrawler to bring him down." Halu said but what I said next shocked everyone. "Pikipek, use his ice beam against him like I taught you to gather the energy around you by letting it hit you." My friend without question or hesitation followed the order and caught the energy in his beak and kept flying towards the crab pokemon, then mid flight began to spin. Pikipek became a missile that eventually knocked Crabrawler out.

"Crabrawler is forfeited due to injuries Pikipek wins by default." The ref said and I knew this was the battle that would bring out my true power. "Hariyama, it's a trial." The hand pokemon appeared in front of me and let me just say it was a little intimidating. "We don't intimidate easily, Mimikyu takes the stage." I say throwing my new friend forward. "Kyu!" It said as it stared at the Hariyama and got into a battle stance. "Hariyama Thunder Punch tries to break that disguise." Halu said as his pokemon lined up with Mimikyu. "Mimikyu, wait until he's three feet away then use Shadow Claw to block the punch then use Dazzling Gleam." I told my partner. He did as he was told. Blocked the Thunder Punch by using Shadow Claw nullifies the thunder and so the attack is just a punch. Then Dazzling Gleam happened. Hariyama backed off due to the blinding light. "Finish this Mimikyu, use Dazzling Gleam." Mimikyu followed the order and a blinding light surrounded the battlefield and all I could hear was the sound of the hand pokemon crying out in pain. "Hariyama has fainted, this trial battle is over, Ash ketchum has won the battle."

I was breathing heavily as I returned to Mimikyu. I hadn't felt a battle like this since my last battle with Alain (hopefully spelt that right) The only friendly rival I had left in Kalos. Even Sawyer (the kid with the sceptile.) had left me to die. But this battle took all my spirit and soul. It felt great. "Ash Ketchum as Kahuna of Melemele island, I present you with this Fightinium-Z. To perform this move follow these steps." He then made several punches that were also spun. Then he lifted his foot off the ground and punched the air. "This move is called all out pummeling and can be paired with any fighting type move." I nodded my thanks for the battle and the crystal and walked away towards Lillie.

After my battle with the Kahuna, Halu shouted to start the festival and there was a big tournament that the trial goers were allowed to participate in, but I said no because I needed some rest. But in reality I wanted to talk to my beautiful girlfriend. That word still felt weird leaving my mouth or running through my head when it was paired with the word my. When I finally found Lillie she was standing by the sea. "Hey beautiful whats up." I say sneaking up behind her. "Not much, just wondering if you will play his song again." She said to me snuggling into my chest. So I pulled out my flute and began to play. I didn't have the bell or the feather though so Lugia did not appear.

After the song was over I turned to her and made a serious face. "Lillie, As you know I have feelings for you. We have now been dating two months and I have decided to travel all of Alola and that would not be exciting without you by my side. Please journey with me. Help me find my missing pieces across this region and the Z-crystals that allow me to unlock the power within. That call to the power within all beings." I say to her as she smiles at me. "I think I would like that." She said to me, kissing my lips. I smiled and picked her carrying her back to the festival bridal style. The two of us were smiling.

Alright guys this is the third chapter and thank you to all that read and review. And if you have any questions please don't ask them because I will not spoil anything. Not meaning to be rude with this, it's just that everything's a surprise. Also thank you to the ones that posted ideas for how Mallow and Lana should get with Ash. Also tell me what you thought of Lugia's song being mentioned, nobody uses it in their stories and I was curious.
