ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
After the long night of celebrating, Professor Kukui let Ash stay the night at his place. Once they returned, Kukui and Ash were the first to enter followed by Lillie.
"Well! I'm going to hit the hay! Gotta get up early to do some research!" Kukui announced as he left for his room.
"Well. Um, I just wanted to say thanks again Ash for saving Nebby." Lillie said to the boy.
"Pew!"
"Well, your room is the downstairs from here. I'll see you in the morning then!" Lillie said before walking over to the ladder and going up to her room.
Ash waved goodbye and retired himself.
Lillie sighed.
She never had too much interaction with others her age.
But it felt good to talk to Ash and Hau.
She put Nebby to bed as it fell asleep straight away.
She grabbed her laptop that Kukui had lent her to use and booted it up.
Lillie clearly remembered Hau say that Ash was some sort of hero in the Kalos region, saving it or something along those lines. If it's true, then he might be perfect.
Logging in and going on to her web browser, she searched up the Ash Ketchum as Hau blatantly blurted out.
As she was typing in Ash's name, her laptop shut off due to low battery. She looked down to the side and could not find the charger.
Lillie just groaned in annoyance and saw that the time was nearly midnight.
She couldn't be bothered getting up and looking for the charger, so she closed the top of the laptop and decided to get some sleep.
(Pallet Town)
Locals and residences of nearby towns all helped clean up the town.
Stronger pokemon carried away the rubble of the remains of buildings that was destroyed in the attack as grass types tried to help repair all the trees that were burnt away.
Professor Oak had spent the last 2 days trying to figure out the identity of the strange Pokemon that attacked, but nothing had come up. Even after contact with many of the professors from nearby regions, none of them recognised the Pokemon.
Oak's lab was the only place in town with electricity due to the numerous back-up generators he had installed, so many people came to him in help which he did, despite having more interest in the monster that attacked his home town.
A car stopped on the outskirts of the town as 3 humans walked off. A male and a female were in black suits while the third was in a lab coat carrying a briefcase.
They walked directly towards the destruction zone.
The police saw the trio walk closer as one approached.
"Sorry fella's, this is a restricted zo-"
"International police. Step aside officer." The male in the black suit commanded as he showed the police officer the badge.
The officer nodded as the trio walked into the destruction zone.
The male in the suit had a bag on and pulled out three gas masks as they all placed one on.
The man in the lab coat opened up the case and pulled out a radar looking device.
"You can easily feel the disturbance it had on the area just by smelling the air." The female muttered.
Her male counterpart placed his finger in the burnt ground as he felt the charred soil.
"Second attack in 3 months. First the Eterna forest incident now this…" the male responded. "They are getting restless."
"Bingo. I've got the wave lengths right and we just hit the jackpot." The scientist spoke as the other two looked at the radar. On the screen was the area with a large bulk of it covered in orange and red.
"I'll bet you 5 bucks those cops are already infected…" the scientist said to the man, whom grunted.
"Can you get an aura match with anything in the database?" The man told the scientist.
The scientist tapped away at the screen. He pulled out a hose from the radar and sucked up some air.
Waiting a few minutes, a result finally came back.
"Just as predicted. UB-03: Lighting was responsible for the attack." The scientist confirmed.
The man pulled out a phone and dialled a number.
"Madam. Just as thought. UB-03: Lighting was the monster that attacked Pallet town." The man spoke into the phone.
Little did they know, one of the Police officers got curious and slowly approached the trio, listening in on the conversation.
"The entire attack zone is completely radiating with the beasts aura. Anyone that has come in the zone would have been infected."
"Yes Madam."
The officer listening in on the conversation pulled out his phone and started to record the conversation.
"The file has been classified. Only our highest ranking members will have access. Yes Madam." The man continued. "Question is how long till they find out about it."
The police officer kept recording till he felt a sharp pain in the side of his neck. Before he could scream in pain and for help, his mouth was quickly covered.
The trio of humans turned around to see a Toxicroak attack the poor officer and dragged him to their feet.
"Madam, I'll have to call you back. Seems we have an unwanted guest." The man said as he closed the phone.
"Good boy Toxicroak. You can have a treat later." The women said to the Pokemon as it bowed.
"Knock him out and put him in the car. We are done here." The man concluded.
The Toxicroak nodded and smashed its foot into the officers' head, knocking him out clean.
"Can't have any loose end now can we? Let's get out of this dump…" Man hissed as the Toxicroak picked him up.
The trio came out the way they had entered and Toxicroak plus the unconscious police man took a different way to stay out of sight.
They all gathered back up as the toxic frog threw the body into the boot of the car and returned to the Pokeball.
They all got back into the car and drove away fast.
(The Alola Region.)
Ash was the first to wake up as he was hyped to get this new challenge under way.
He brought out Litten and Rowlet and got down low to them to talk.
"Alright guys! Today we start our Island trials!"
"Koo!"
"Rarrw!"
A determined look appeared on Ash's face.
"That's the sprite!"
It wasn't too long till Kukui walked out of his room and greeted Ash.
"Oh? Morning! You're up early." Kukui said to the Kanto native.
Ash kept the look of determination on his face.
"We gotta prepare for whatever the trial is! You know? The task and stuff." Ash explained.
Kukui chuckled.
"Well you are taking the transaction from gyms to the trials fairly well aren't you?"
Ash nodded.
"Heh. It was years ago since the last time I actually took on a league! In fact it was the Indigo League! I was meant to be doing research and stuff but ended up getting all 8 badges. I got to meet my idol too! Professor Oak!" Kukui explained.
Ash felt like he had taken a bullet to the heart at the sound of the Professors name. The Professor noticed this.
He had to tell Kukui eventually otherwise he would find out himself.
"Sadly, my work on Z-moves prevented me from traveling more. Though, I eventually met my wife here in Alola!" Kukui continued.
"You're married?" Ash asked confused.
"Yeah. Her name is Burnet. She works on another island, but we make it work!" Kukui said cheerfully.
Ash took a deep breath of air.
"Professor? I have to tell you something…" Ash said shakily
Kukui smirked.
"Lemme guess. You ran away from home and came to a place that's on the other side of the world?" Kukui answered as Ash was left gobsmacked.
"Ho-how di-did you kn-know?" Ash muttered.
"The coming to the other side of the world was a guess but Oak sent an email to every Professor he has been associated with asking to turn Ash Ketchum in and deport him back to Kanto!" Kukui explained.
Ash was nervous now. The outgoing all happy professor was now scaring him. How far was Oak going to go to get Ash back?
"But he never gave a reason why he was so desperate to have you back! Innocent till proven guilty as they say!" Kukui said with a grin as Ash's nerves decreased slightly. "I only got the email last night after you went to bed, but after what Hau had said about you, the bond you formed with both Litten and Rowlet in such short time, and you also risked your life to save Nebby, there was no way you could have done anything wrong!"
"Can I explain my half of the story now?" Ash asked.
Kukui nodded.
So Ash went into full detail about the whole situation that happened back home as Kukui absorbed every little detail.
"Hmmm. So a mysterious Pokemon that just appeared out of the sky, attacked the town and that's how you escaped?" Kukui asked perplexed.
Ash was worried that he wouldn't believe him.
"Sounds awesome!" Kukui chirped. "Though pretty harsh that all your Pokemon just left you…"
The only thing going through Ash's mind was the fact that this was probably the most laid back professor he'd ever met.
"Though I'm sure that Rowlet and Litten will give 110 percent!" Kukui assured.
"Koo!"
"Rawr!"
"I have told the Trial Captain about you and he is waiting for you. He specializes in normal types." Kukui explained.
"I thought it wasn't a battle though?" Ash questioned, wanting to learn as much as possible about the new challenge he was embarking on.
"The general theme will be based around Pokemon with the normal typing, which also includes the Totem Pokemon." Kukui answered as Ash nodded in response.
It wasn't too long till Lillie had finally up and was surprised to see that the Professor hasn't destroyed anything yet.
"Oh? Morning you two." She said confused to the two males. She was honestly expecting a new hole in the wall or something to be on fire, but it seemed like the Professor skipped his morning research for today.
"Pew!" Nebby cried.
The two males greeted her as Ash headed to the door. Lillie was surprised to see him rush off so fast.
"Hey Ash? I know this is sudden but it's also sort of a thank you for saving Nebby the other day, but why don't I shout you some breakfast? I heard about this really good place in the city." Lillie offered.
Ash couldn't say no to food, but he had a question of his mind.
"Don't you have school or something? Don't you go there Lillie?" Ash asked, as Lillie look flustered.
"Oh… About that. Yeah, I go there because of the professor. I'm technically not enrolled there… I've only been here a few months." Lillie confessed.
Ash shrugged off the thought and nodded.
"Alright, lets go!" Ash agreed as Lillie smiled.
"Ok Nebby. In the bag." Lillie told her Pokemon.
"Pew." As it dived into the bag.
"Professor? Are you going to come?" Lillie asked the older man.
Kukui shook his head in signal of no.
"Sorry. I've got a class first period this morning and School finishes next week, so I've got to prepare kids for the island trials. I might catch up later before Ash heads off to the Verdant cave." Kukui explained.
Lillie and Ash took off on to the way towards Hau'oil city.
It was only a short walk from the Professors place to the city.
"It's just down here!" Lillie told the boy as you pointed down the road.
Another 5 minutes later, they were outside a pink shop.
"This place sells the best of Alola's signature treat, the Malasada! I know it's probably not good for breakfast, but it's your first day doing the trials so you might as well start on a high note!" Lillie explained.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T HAVE MORE!?" someone yelled from the inside. Ash recognised the voice.
"Wasn't that Hau?" he asked Lillie who shrugged her shoulders.
The duo went in and saw Hau at the counter.
"Hau. It's not even 8:00 and you're coming back for round 6?" the lady at the counter told Hau.
"Aww! Come on! I need my energy for the trials! And only malasada's will do the trick!" Hau pleaded. "I'll pay double for one or two more!"
The lady at the counter grinned, knowing she could a bargain out of this.
Lillie chuffed, annoyed at the lady for not allowing Hau to buy more. She walked forward and next to Hau.
"Hau, step aside." Lillie told the Alolan native.
"Wait what?" Hau blurted as he moved aside and next to Ash.
"I would like to buy the early morning special. Put it under Kukui's account, you know the number. Oh and Hau will be dinning with us!" Lillie demanded as the lady groaned and did her job.
The trio sat down at a table and let loose there Pokemon but Nebby.
Popplio greeted both Litten and Rowlet as Ash's starters greeted back.
"Ha-ha! Thanks Lillie! I owe yah!" Hau laughed.
"Don't worry about it. Though you should probably eat a little bit heathier Hau…" Lillie suggested.
"Oh nonsense! Malasada's will do the trick!" Hau yelled.
A waiter brought out a plate of the Alola treats. It was almost identical to a donut. By the time both Ash and Lillie grabbed one, Hau had already finished his first.
"Hau. Slow down, you may chock…" Ash suggested as the boy looked up.
"What do you mean?" he asked with his mouth full of the sugary dough.
Ash fed his Pokemon each one as did Hau. Lillie was hesitant at first because she didn't want sugar in here bag, but she eventually dropped one inside it for Nebby.
About 15 minutes later, Hau got up.
"Alright! I'm ready for my first trial!" Hau declared. "First I need to catch a second pokemon…"
Ash had only seen a few Pokemon that Alola had to offer and he was still curious about the Alola forms.
"I might tag along and see what new Pokemon there is." Ash told him as the boy grinned.
"I'll race you there then!" Hau yelled as he was about to run off until Lillie grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
"You two are not leaving me alone and I'm most certainly not running in a skirt!" she hissed slightly, letting go of Hau.
"Aw fine! You just don't want to get muddy huh?" Hau said without thought, gaining a fierce glare from the girl. He felt the glare pierce right through him. "Uh… What I meant was… running in those shoes must be uncomfortable! We should walk instead! Yeah that's what I meant!"
"Good."
Hau and Lillie lead the way to Route 2. Hau walked up ahead slightly.
A small black, white and red bird flew right past Ash and landed in a tree in front of Hau.
Rotomdex popped out of Ash's bag and looked at him.
Pikipek, the woodpecker Pokemon. It can peck at a rate of 16 times a second to drill holes in trees. It uses the holes for food storage and for nesting.
Hau noticed Ash looking at the bird.
"You going to train it up and be as stronger as your Talonflame?" Hau asked. Ash shook his head in the response of no. "You're not?" Hau said confused.
"I already have a flying type in Rowlet. I want to make sure I have as must type coverage as possible in case of any tricky situations we get in." Ash declared.
The Pikipek looked up and saw something rattling above it. A small Pichu fell down next to it and shocked it. The poor bird, still suffering from the electric attack flew off as the Pichu laughed away.
"That wasn't very nice…" Lillie muttered. As she was saying that, Hau let loose Popplio.
"Popplio! Use disarming voice and get that Pichu out the tree!" Hau commanded.
Popplio let loose the fairy attack as it hit the Pichu. The tiny mouse Pokemon fell out of the tree and landed on its head. It moaned in pain as it rubbed its head.
Hau pulled a Pokeball out and slammed it at the Pichu.
1 shake.
2 shakes.
3 shakes!
The ball exploded as the Pichu reappeared with an angry look. It used thundershock on Hau.
"AHAHAH!? Po-Popplio! Do somethi-something!?" Hau screamed in pain. Ash and Lillie sweat dropped.
As the wild Pichu was laughing at the misfortune of Hau, it didn't notice Popplio snuck up behind it and slammed a pound attack right behind it, flinging it to the ground.
"Al-alright! Round 2!" Hau muttered as he threw another Pokeball.
1 Shake.
2 Shakes.
3 Shakes!
Bing!
"Alright! We caught Pichu!" Hau celebrated with Popplio.
"Congratz Hau. You caught your first ever Pokemon!" Lillie said to the boy.
Ash was happy for him, but being a part of the Pikachu line, it brought some pain to him.
"I have to admit. That was one angry Pichu… You think you'll be able to tame it? It evolve by friendship." Ash told Hau.
Hau freed Pichu from the Pokeball as it looked up with an angry look.
"Pi! Pichu!" the little pokemon hissed at his trainer.
"Hiya little fella! Names Hau! Try this!" Hau said to the Pichu pulling Malasada. Pichu sniffed it and snatched at out of Hau's hands. It took a nibble at it at first. The Pichu's eyes lit up as it devoured the whole thing.
"Pi! Piu!" Pichu said happily as it raced up on to Hau's shoulder.
"I think they'll get along just fine…" Lillie said to Ash.
There was a country side Pokecenter just before the supposed location of the trial. Hau healed up Pichu and got some potions and paralyses heals as did Ash.
"Verdant Cave is just up a head." Lillie told the two.
"I know! Hopefully the captain is here." Hau said to the two as they left the centre and walked up the road ahead.
There was a large cave opening with wooden gates next to them that were open. Standing out front of it was Ilima.
"Hiya Ilima!" Hau waved.
"Greetings Hau and co. Welcome!" Ilima said to them.
"Wait… What?" Ash said confused.
"Oh yes. Allow to formally introduce myself. Greetings, Captain Ilima here. Welcome to the Verdant Cave Normal trial!" Ilima announced to the group.
"You are the trial captain?" Ash asked as the pink haired boy nodded.
"That's right Ash. Normally, once you complete the trial, you receive a Z-ring and the normal z crystal but it seems that I was beaten to it and can only offer one half of the deal!" Ilima explained.
"Ash. Hau. I want to make this clear. Once you are inside the cave, the trial starts. You can leave at any time but the trial will be reset. " Ilima said once more seriously.
Despite only knowing Ilima a day, this was a different side of the trial captain.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
Ash and Hau nodded at each other.
"Let's do this." They said in sync.
Ilima grinned as he walked into the cave.
"Lillie, you can accompany me during this. Come along now." Ilima called out as the three walked into the cave. Upon walking in they heard the gates close behind them.
It was a large cave that had holes at the top to provide light. Connecting the place was man made bridges to get from one ledge to another. There was a few hollowed out trees with holes in them as if a Pokemon had been living there.
"Congratulations on your first steps inside the trial. You two can go at the same time but my assistant will not allow you to versus the totem till you each complete the following tasks. Fairly simple, defeat two Pokemon that appear out of the dens. You will either find Yungoos or Rattata. Good luck! Lillie, please come with me." Ilima explained before walking off.
"Good luck you two." Lillie said to both Ash and Hau.
"Pew!" Nebby said, pitching in the conversation.
"Nebby! Get back in the bag!"
Lillie and Nebby follow Ilima to a watching area.
"Right! Our first trial! Whoo! I'm pumped!" Hau cried as he raced off.
Only stepping forward a little, Hau felt a pair of eyes lock on to him. He reached for his pokeball and let loose Pichu.
"Alright buddy! Time to get some training done!"
"Chu!" Pichu responded, emitting little sparks of lightning.
A Yungoos appeared and hissed at the duo.
Ash decided to stay out of the way and let Hau do his own thing. He walked forward a little bit more, listening in on Hau commanding Pichu to attack.
Ash suddenly heard a bush nearby rustling. Out of it came walking a black and white Rattata. Its whiskers were a lot thicker and it stood on two legs instead of all four.
Ash was surprised, but then thought back to yesterday when Ilima faced that Marcelo guy who had an Alolan Raticate, so this must be Alolan Rattata.
Rotomdex appeared and scanned the rat.
Alolan Rattata, the mouse Pokemon. With its incisors, it gnaws through doors and infiltrates people's homes. Then, with a twitch of its whiskers, it steals whatever food it finds.
The Rattata growled at the boy.
"Okay! Litten, you are up!" Ash cried out, releasing Litten.
The cat appeared and got into a battle stance.
"Rawwr!"
The Rattata dashed using Quick attack and slammed itself into Litten, forcing the cat to lose his composure.
"Litten! While it's close use scratch!"
Litten released its claws and slashed across the face of the Rattata as it cried in pain.
Hau and Pichu were now watching Ash and the cat's battle.
"Now use ember!"
Litten spat up the fiery furball that eventually turned into ember, knocking out the Rattata.
"Yeah! Nice job Litten!" Ash yelled out as the cat purred happily.
"Sweet! 1 down, 1 to go! Why don't you try going for Yungoos this time!" Hau suggested.
"Well, well, well! What do we have here?" a voice called out.
Out behind the bushes was two team skull grunts.
"This place is filled with nothing but trash yo! Hand over your rare Pokemon and we won't have any trouble!" one grunt threatened.
"Then y'all can give us all you dollars!"
"I think I saw another Yungoos that way!" Hau said to Ash as the two walked right past the grunts, without paying any attention to them. They just stood there awkwardly before rushing off in front of them once again.
"Don't you foolz be ignoring us yo!"
"Oh look its team skull." Hau said unamused. "Anyways like I was saying!"
"Yo Robby! Drop me a fat beat will yah?" The skull grunt said to the other one.
The grunt known as Robby started to beatbox as the other started to rap.
"Uh. Yeah. Uh, Uh, uh! Cool cat! Whoo. Look at these kids yo, they high and mighty fools yo! I'm the number one grunt yo, there ain't nobody better than me yo! Kid with a Pichu, ever heard of a haircut yo? And kid with the Litten yo, you better be ready for a beating uh, uh, uh!" the grunt beatboxed.
"I give it a 3/10." Hau said, holding a card with that score on it, as Ash looked on confused on where he got the sign. "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me!"
"Only a 3?! Well then! If my sick rap won't make you give in, then I just have to make you!" the grunt yelled releasing a Drowzee.
Ash and Hau nodded at each other.
"Litten use ember!"
"Thundershock Pichu!"
The two Pokemon attacked at the same time before the grunt could even command his Drowzee to do anything. Burnt and shocked, the psychic type Pokemon fell to the ground in a puff of smoke.
"Oh shiz! Yo let's get out of here!" the grunt yelled at the other one, returning Drowzee and dashing off.
Out of all the grunts Ash had faced, could these Team Skull grunts be worse than Jessie, James and Meowth?
"Well that was fun!" Hau chuckled.
"Rat! Tat!"
"Goo! Yung!"
The two humans heard the cries and snuck over to where the sound was. They both saw a Yungoos and a Rattata fighting over some berries.
"I'll take the Yungoos, you go for Rattata!" Ash whispered.
Hau nodded in agreement.
"Pichu! Use tail whip on the Rattata!" Hau called out, gaining the attention of the two rodent like Pokemon.
The small Pichu wagged its tail at the rat, lowering its defence.
"Ember!"
Litten let blast a powerful ember, knocking the Yungoos out straight away.
"A critical hit!" Ash grinned as the cat stood over its opposition.
"Thunder shock now that's defences are lowered!"
Pichu used thunder shock as told and due to the defence drop, the Rattata stood no chance.
"Yeah! Nice!" Hau called out as Pichu stood proudly. Litten rolled his eyes and walked back over to Ash.
The two boys returned there Pokemon and walked over to the man standing in front of another opening.
"Thank you two, for taking care of those Team skull thugs. They had been yelling and cursing for hours and I didn't want to bother Mr. Ilima. I also witnessed you completed the trial! All that's left is the totem! Which one will be going first?" the man asked.
"I can go first!" Ash said.
"Then I'll go second." Hau added in.
"Please make your way through and wait for the gate to open. You, just go through here and you'll be with Mr. Ilima in the observing area. Good luck to you both!" the man told them both.
Hau went the way he was told to go and eventually joined up with Lillie and Ilima.
Ash walked through the opening and saw the three at higher ground. Hau waved cheerfully at his idol.
It was an open area, but it looked like many battles had taken place. There was a pedestal at the very end with something shiny lying on top of it.
Ash approached it slowly till he heard a fierce cry.
"Raaaaaawaaa!"
Jumping down from a ledge was a large Gumshoos. It was bigger than the one that Ilima had and it was eyeing down Ash, growling and hissing at him.
An orange aura appeared around it as it got into a defensive stance.
Ash was at a blank what the orange aura was, but he shook off the thought and sent out Rowlet.
"So Gumshoos wants to battle. Interesting." Ilima commented.
"What's that orange stuff around the Totem?" Lillie questioned.
Ilima laughed.
"The Totem pokemon gets a boost in battle to their highest stat. In Gumshoos case, that would be its defence." Ilima explained yet again.
"Alright Rowlet. Let's keep at distance a little. Use Leafage on it!" Ash told the grass quill Pokemon. It unleashed the wave of leafs, as they hit the Gumshoos, but due to the boost, it took the damage really well. Ash grunted as he noticed that it did little damage. The Gumshoos used scary face on Rowlet, frightening it and lowering its speed.
The Gumshoos roared into the air. Out of nowhere, a small Yungoos appeared.
"Wh-what!?" Ash muttered to himself. Ilima noticed this.
The Gumshoos commanded the Yungoos to charge at Rowlet and bite away at it.
"Rowlet! Fly away!" Ash told the bird as it flew off into the sky. Ash knew Rowlet couldn't fly forever and with the speed decrease, it would be difficult to battle close to the ground.
Ash had looked around and noticed a loose rock. He smirked.
"Rowlet, land on the ground under that loose rock and wait for my command!" Ash called out. The bird landed under it as the Yungoos charged at him.
"Wait for it… Wait for it…"
"NOW ROWLET! Fly up!" Ash shouted.
The bird flew up as the Yungoos ran right into the wall. The loose rock fell right on top of the Yungoos's head as it fell unconscious.
"One down!" Ash said confidently.
The Totem Pokemon dashed forward in front of Rowlet and bite down on Rowlet with a powerful super fang. It shook Rowlet around and threw it on the ground.
"I need to get rid of that speed drop… Rowlet return! Litten you're up!" Ash roared.
Rowlet returned to its pokeball and let out Litten. Despite the chance to attack, the Gumshoos used leer on the cat, not expecting the switch.
"Litten! Use ember! We need get that burn!"
Litten nodded.
It spat out the ember bits, but the Gumshoos countered with sand attack, putting out the embers and making a dust cloud.
"Litten, use the cloud to get behind it then use ember and try to get the burn again!" Ash whispered to the cat.
Litten snuck around the totem and unleashed a powerful burn into Gumshoos back.
The Gumshoos growled at Litten, but winced in pain from the burn marks left on its back.
"Yes! We got it!" Ash cried.
"Rawawa!" the Gumshoos roared, biting on to Litten and slamming it on to the ground. It struggled to get up and eventually collapsed.
Ash returned Litten.
"You did great Litten! Rowlet! Finish this!" Ash said to Littens pokeball, then sending Rowlet yet again. "Right! Without the speed drop, we should be faster! Use leafage!"
Rowlet unleashed the wave of leafs, as the Gumshoos braced itself for the attack. It then suffered from the burn.
"Rawawa…" it moaned in pain. It slowly dashed towards Rowlet, trying to use super fang on it, but Rowlet flew out of way as the burn took its toll. The Gumshoos was on the ground, trying to get up.
"Rowlet! Finish this with leafage!" Ash shouted as Rowlet did so. The powerful grass type attack made direct contact with Gumshoos as it finally collapsed and fainted.
"We! We did it!" Ash said with glee.
"Koo!"
"Congraulations Ash. Please come up here now! Hau, it's your turn." Ilima called out.
The Gumshoos woke up and walked away with Yungoos.
Ash was now with Lillie and Ilima.
"Congratz Ash! You did it!" Lillie congratulated him.
Hau was now waiting.
"Ratattca!"
A large Alolan Raticate appeared and obtained the same aura as the Gumshoos.
"But isn't Alolan Raticate dark type?" Lillie asked Ilima.
"It obtains the dark typing but keeps the normal typing like its Kanto counterpart." Ilima explained.
"Pew?" Nebby cried, escaping the bag yet again. It noticed a Butterfree in the distance and floated off without Lillie noticing, wanting to chase the bug type.
Hau sent out Popplio.
"Let's make this swift and fast! Popplio use disarming voice!" Hau said pointing at the totem pokemon.
Popplio unleashed the fairy type move with a powerful sound wave. It hit the Alolan Raticate as it landed a critical hit.
"Rat-cat!" the Alolan Raticate muttered, too weak to attack itself. It called a Rattata to attack, running fast at Popplio.
"Disarming voice again Popplio!"
It used the fairy move again, flinging the Rattata back into the Raticate as both were knocked out by the super effective attack.
"Haha! Woo!" Hau celebrated.
Ilima, Ash and Lillie walked down to the battle area.
"Ash. Hau. Congratulations on completing your first ever Alola trial. Hau, I present to you the Z-Ring and too both of you, the Normalium Z. You can now use the Z-move Breakneck Blitz on any attacking normal move." Ilima announced, handing over the items to the two.
"Kukui will be thrilled to hear you guys did it!" Lillie said to them.
"As the only trial on Melemele, your next opponent will be Hala. If you beat him, you can move on to Akala Island." Ilima explained to them.
"I also offer you one last thing. A battle." Ilima offered to them.
"You're on!" both Ash and Hau said in sync.
"I look forward to it. How does tomorrow at the trainers school sound?"
"Sounds good!" Ash said giving him a determined look.
"Nebby come out and see Ash and Hau's new z-crystals!" Lillie said to the bag opening the zip. She gasped in fear. "NEBBY!?"
"What's wrong?" Ash asked.
"Nebby's gone!"
Authors note: And Chapter 4 is up. Like I've said in the previous chapters, I just want to thank you all for the support.
So both Ash and Hau have completed the first trial and now both have the Z-ring and the Normalium Z.
I want to talk about the Anime. Bewear has become my favorite character in the 19 years of it airing. Oh my god...
Now. I want to know some opinions. Little spoiler here: There is only a small handful of Ultra beasts. So what do you guys think of custom Ultra beasts that I've come up with or some made up ones by you guys? I would prefer them in a PM to keep it a surprise and I'll pick a small handfull to go with mine. So be creative ;)
If I don't answer your questions, it means I've already answered them or I don't want to due to plot.
Questions Now:
Does the events in the movies happened?: If you mean previous films, yes they all happened and Ash will remember. I don't know if I will included the 1st Sun and Moon film but we will see seeming we know it will surely revolve around Solgaleo and Lunala.
Just curious are you going to do a Ash-Decidueye thing: No.
Is pikachu gonna be an actual betrayal: Yeah. The little yellow rat betrayed Ash when he was calling for him.
If so will Ash replace him with a Pichu who wont evolve to Pikachu?: No because Hau has a Pichu ;)
Voglio vedere i traditori in disgrazia soprattutto Serena WHICH MEANS I want to see the traitors in disgrace especially Serena: Oh don't worry, I have something planned :)
Will Ash ever encounter Lugia as he adventures around the islands?: Dunno. Maybe.
As always review, Suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
Quick little edit: I know Rowlet becomes Grass Ghost. Ash doesn't though ;) Yet at least.
