ALOLA TO OUR SAVIOUR: Chapter 7
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon :/
(Melemele Island. 2:30AM in the morning)
"Hehe. 12 stolen pokemon eggs all accounted for boss!" a poacher shouted across the room to two other males that were playing a game of cards. "From right here on Melemele island to the lush jungle on Akala. 2 more stolen on Mount Lanakila on Ula'Ula and the rest taken from the vast Poni canyon!"
"Can it Jeff. We don't know who might be around." One of the men at the table hissed as he threw down a card.
"Pfft! You're too careful Mark! Lighten up will yah? We are in the middle of nowhere and it's like 2 in the morning!" Jeff chuckled as he placed a cigarette in his mouth and started to smoke.
"Once we ship them off to Sinnoh, we will be rich!" the other man at the table explained.
"Yeah. Yeah. Then we'll move on to bigger things!" Jeff laughed.
There was a knock at the door as all three of the poachers froze.
Mark stood up and grabbed Jeff by the shirt.
"I thought you said we were all alone out here!?" Mark hissed at Jeff as spit splattered across his face.
"I-I got this. Trust me!" Jeff stuttered as Mark let go.
Jeff went to the door and opened it.
Standing in outside was a pale teenager with blonde hair that covered his left eye. The eye visible was green with his right ear with two earrings pierced into it. He wore a black hoodie and black jeans. His clothing's had claw marks all over it with his right hand wrapped in dirty and bloody bandages. His jeans were ripped at the knees with more bandages on his left leg. He had scars on his face, with two next to each other on the left side of his mouth and one cutting through the boy's right eyebrow.
"What do you want kid?" Jeff snapped.
"Please! I'm a trainer! M-my Po-Pokemon are hurt and we need to rest! The nearest Pokemon centre is too far!" he begged with a broken look on his face.
"Sorry kid! This place isn't suitable for you. Go chill up a tree or something." Jeff explained as he closed the door on the boy.
Before the door could shut, the boy placed his foot in-between to prevent from shutting fully.
"The hell?" Jeff said out loud.
"I'm going to give you one last chance to re-consider." The boy said.
Jeff kicked his foot, forcing him back so the door could shut completely. The boy heard a lock go off.
He smirked.
"Oh… So that how it is. (Sigh) Fine! Null use take down." The blonde haired male said.
A pair of glowing, murky yellow eyes appeared from out of the shadows. It appeared fully with its hound like body and charged into the door, ripping it off its hinges and breaking it in two. Jeff was lucking himself. If he had of been any closer to the door, he too would have been ripped apart! Instead he was flung back into the wall.
The other two stood up in shock and then saw the boy and… the abomination walk in.
It… Had the body of what appeared to be a Houndoom, except its front two legs were missing and were replaced by legs that looked like they belonged to a bug type. On its back was a fin acting as a tail. It looked like a Vaporeons tail as if some sick mind freak cut it off the poor eeveelution and sowed it on to this thing! It had a mane of grey fur growing out of the brown helmet that it had on. All you could see of its face was a pair of glowing, murky yellow eyes. On top of the helmet was what appeared to be a battle axe.
"Null. Deal with those two. I got this one." The boy commanded.
The abomination growled intensely at the men as they grabbed each in fear and whimpered in the corner of the room, terrified by the intensity of the creature.
Jeff, still on the ground after the attack, groaned and moaned in pain as the boy placed his foot on his stomach.
"Tsk. You three are poachers? Pathetic…"
"And what you meant to be then!?" Jeff hissed.
"None of your business, I'll tell you that much. What I can tell is that the police are on their way here after an 'anonymousness' phone call leaked them off. I had to make sure though." The boy explained.
"So you are a cop?" one of the men in the corner asked as the monster growled at him for speaking.
"No. I just do what I feel like." The boy explained.
One of the men in the corner got a better look at him before realising something.
"Now wait a minute? Aren't you the kid Guzma hired to do all the shit jobs?" he spoke up as the monster raised its claw at them.
"AH! Null down! Now!" the boy said sternly as the Pokemon listened. The boy turned back to Jeff, glaring at him madly.
"Rejects that couldn't even join the rejects huh?" the boy said to Jeff as he whimpered.
"BOO!" the boy shouted at Jeff as he cried in fear. The young male laughed and clicked his fingers.
"Come Null. Now!"
The 'Pokemon' named Null walked over to its trainer.
"You are going to stay here until the police come. If I find out you have run away, you'll be talking to me again." The boy threatened as the police sirens started to become louder. He fled off into the bush with the canine like Pokemon. Three police cars parked outside the shack.
(Meanwhile in the Kalos region…)
The President of Kalos, Pierre Moore, Diantha and the secretary of defence, Samuel North sat in a room with all of Kalos's army allies. With the champions from other regions, the regions local professor and their President or leader in state attending. Joining the Kalos team was Professor Sycamore.
Lance, the champion of both Kanto and Johto. Professor Oak and Elm were attending along with their President.
Steven Stone, the champion of Hoenn. Professor Birch and Steven's father, Joseph Stone who was the president of the Hoenn region.
Cynthia, the champion of Sinnoh. Professor Rowan sat next to Cynthia and next to him was the leader of the Sinnoh region.
And lastly Alder, the champion of the Unova region. Both Professor Cedric Juniper and his daughter, Professor Aurea Juniper were present.
"Thank you all for attending on such short notice." Pierre Moore announced.
"At 1900 hours, Orrean time. An attack on the Kalos military base located in the Orrean desert proceeded without warning. Whoever or whatever hacked our system. Despite losing all contact with the base originally, we have managed to hook something up to get images. I do warn you all, the following pictures are highly disturbing and stressful, if you wish to turn away, please." Samuel North explained to the high profiled humans.
Nobody turned away.
North pressed the button showing a series of pictures revealing the ruins of the base and corpses of humans and Pokemon.
Aurea Juniper closed her eyes swiftly upon seeing the first clear images of a human body. Cynthia turned her head away as well. Elm looked downwards nervously.
"As of right now, there are no survivors found." The President of Kalos added in.
North turned off the slideshow.
"Many terrorist groups across the globe I'm sure are going to claim responsibility when they know they didn't do this. Thank you. Is there any questions so far?"
Lance spoke up shortly after that.
"What exactly was the attacker after?" the dragon master asked.
"As of right now, we do not know as it. This is what scares us the most. The Kalos military has the highest state supercomputing hardware. A human trying to hack the system without the proper regulations would take roughly seven to ten years. A super high tech robot with some regulations would take a couple of months. This is how careful we are…" North continued on before looking away.
He sighed and looked back.
"Whatever attacked the base hacked our systems in the time of one minute and four seconds." He said with look of anger.
A quick discussion rambled on in the crowd.
"I've got a feeling this isn't over. We do not know what was deleted but it deleted 100's of thousands of files and left this message as placeholder!" North announced.
One screen was the chilling message.
"You know nothing about us."
"What does that mean?" Sycamore asked.
"We do not know Augustine." The Kalos secretary of defence answered.
"I'll be making an announcement on the attack later today. To let the world know of this disaster. A day of mourning would be kindly appreciated." Kalos's President asked with no objection to the idea.
"My son is mostly likely dead and I want to catch this son of bitch! Any form of help would mean the world to not only a grieving father that is standing right in front of you but also the grieving families and friends of the fallen in the Kalos region or in other local regions!" North explained.
Everyone in the room gave their support.
"Thank you. Meeting dismissed." North announced.
(Melemele Island).
It was early in the morning at Melemele Island. Hau decided to just stay the night at Kukui's.
"Right! Hala focuses primarily on brute force. But be wary, he does the ability to use the fighting type Z-Move, All out Pummelling." Kukui explained to Ash and Hau. Lillie was brushing Nebby.
"Knowing Grandpa, he will be using his Crabrawler for the Z-Move." Hau explained as he ate some breakfast.
"Crabrawler? So it water fighting being a crab and all." Ash asked.
"Nah. Logic didn't hit on the head." Rotom said to the teen.
"Crabrawler is just pure fighting. It can't actually swim and also uses coconuts as sun protection hence why it's not a water type." Kukui explained on the logic behind the fighting type.
"The rest of Hala's team is from Kanto. So you should be fine there." Kukui continued.
There was a knock on the door as everyone turned to it.
Kukui opened it up and saw Officer Jenny standing outside.
"Oh. Officer Jenny. What's the issue?" Kukui asked.
"Professor, haven't you heard what happened this morning?" she asked him as he shook his head. "May I?" she asked wanting to come in.
Kukui let her in as she located the TV remote and turned on the TV to the NEWS.
"In the early hours of the morning, three infamous poachers were caught, petrified. According to rumors, the Police were tipped off by an anonymousness phone call over the location. Over 12 stolen Pokemon eggs were found and all three of the men have been arrested." The lady on the NEWS channel explained.
Jenny opened up her bag to reveal a Pokemon egg inside of an incubator.
"We managed to identify all the eggs and return them but this one." She explained as she handed over the egg to Kukui.
It was cold to touch.
"It was strange… All three of them were scared out of their minds. Two of them were in the corner, hugging each other and crying muttering 'glowing, yellow eyes' and monster. The other one was completely out of it. We thought it would be best if you looked after the egg and see if you could find out anything about it." Officer Jenny explained.
Hau turned to Ash.
"Glowing yellow eyes? What does that even mean?" Hau asked him.
"Beats me."
The NEWS was quickly changed without warning and with no control to another channel. It caught the attention of everyone.
"We are sorry to interrupt your viewing, but a global broadcast by the Kalos government has been requested." A male voice said through the TV as it switch to Kalos President standing behind a podium.
"Professor? What's going on?" Lillie asked the male. He shrugged his shoulders as he and Officer Jenny took a seat and turned up the volume.
"Thank you all for listening and sorry for the interruption. With the greatest of sorrows, a serious attack on the Kalos military base, located in the Orrean desert occurred little over 13 hours ago. We do not know who attacked the base, but as of right now, there are no known survivors. We are all effected by the attack and the Kalos government said out their greatest condolences to the families and friends of the brave men, women and Pokemon killed in the attack. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova have all offered to assist us in the time of this terrible event. We will find who is responsible for this crime against humanity and they will be brought to justice." The president of Kalos announced.
Officer Jenny and Kukui's jaws dropped at the shocking news. Lillie covered her mouth as Ash and Hau just stared at the TV.
"Oh my god…" Hau said with a heavy look.
"Many Orrean Terrorists are claiming responsibility for the attack, but as of right now, it is unknown who." A reporter followed up.
Ash looked at the others and knew that stay here before his fight with Hala would not be good.
He stood up and sighed.
"Do you think it would be for the best that go now and versus Hala? To get away from all the doom and gloom?" Ash suggested.
Kukui thought about it and turned to him.
"If you think you are ready. Remember Ash. Battling the Island Kahuna's are different than gym leaders." Kukui explained.
Ash gave a determined look.
"All trial and error then. If I win, I win. If I lose, just means we have to go back and train harder and try again!" Ash said to the professor.
Kukui sighed.
"And you Hau?"
"No way am I letting Ash get too far ahead of me! If he is battling my grandpa today, then so am I!" Hau said with a smile as he fist bumped Ash.
"I want to watch, but I can't leave the egg here or bring it out into the scorching sun…" Kukui pondered.
"I could look after it. I'll just place my hat over it and that should protect it from the sun slightly." Lillie suggested.
Kukui chuckled.
"Then let's get going!" he smirked.
The four of them travelled up to Iki town and waited for Hala to appear.
"Knowing Grandpa, he probably slept in." Hau explained to the others.
Lillie had the egg in its incubator and her hat over top of it as she clutched on to it. Nebby was rustling around in her bag, probably playing with a toy or something.
It wasn't long till Hala eventually appeared out of his house and his eyes instantly locked on to Ash and Hau. He gave a smirk and walked over to them.
"Well, well, well! I wasn't expecting you two this soon!" he laughed.
"Eager to get this on the road!" Ash said back.
"Hala did you hear about?" Kukui asked him as Hala stopped laughing.
"About the base attack. Yes sadly. Thankfully Alola isn't like that." He said to the Professor. He quickly turned to the two boys.
"Now! Which one will versus old Hala first!" he asked the two trial goers.
"Seeming I took on Ilima's trial first, do you want to go first this time Hau?" Ash asked the Iki town native. Hau looked up at his grandfather as he stared down at him.
He closed his eyes and re-opened them with fire inside of them.
"Alright! I'll go first! Gran- No! Kahuna Hala! I challenge you to the grand trial!" Hau said to his grandfather.
Hala smirked.
"Very well then Hau! I accept your challenge." Hala said as he led the others over to the stage where Ash and Hau battled.
The ref took his spot as a crowd started to form. Ash, Kukui and Lillie had front row seats.
"This is the Grand trial for Melemele Island! The battle will contended between Kahuna Hala and Island trial goer Hau! It will be two on two and the winner will be decided when one trainer's pokemon are all knocked out! Trainers! Bring out your first Pokemon and begin!" the ref announced.
"Mankey! Time to fight!" Hala shouted.
"Pichu! Go!" Hau shouted back.
The pig monkey and the little yellow mouse appeared and both looked at each fiercely.
"Let's start with karate chop!" Hala commanded as Mankey rushed towards Pichu.
"Pichu! Use thunder shock to slow him down!" Hau commanded this time.
The mouse released the electric attack and hit Mankey who kept charging and slammed its hand into the poor mouse's neck, fling him back. Despite how bad it looked, Pichu got back up.
"Use charm and lower the defences!" Hau told his Pokemon.
Pichu used its charm attack as Mankey's attack was lowered.
"Low kick!"
Mankey charged at Pichu with its foot glowing.
"Thundershock!"
Pichu looked at Mankey angrily and pushed itself to blast the fighting type with a powerful thundershock, forcing Mankey back as he crashed to the ground.
"A critical hit!" Hau said as the battle was slowly turning to his favour.
However, he didn't noticed the smirk on Hala's face.
Ash looked concerned as he feared the worst.
"What's wrong?" Lillie asked curiously.
"That critical hit… It's not good…" Ash said seriously.
"Hahaha! Well done boy! You're doing well! Too bad it's got to end here! Mankey! Activate anger point!" Hala roared as Mankey got up with a red aura surrounding it as a wave of energy was released.
"Anger point is one of Mankey's abilities. If it gets hit by a critical hit, its attack goes to the max." Ash told the blonde. Kukui looked carefully at the battle.
Hau stepped back, worried that the advantage he had in the battle had quickly disappeared.
"Pichu! We can't let him hit you! Use thunder wave!" Hau shouted nervously.
"Smash right through it with karate chop!" Hala shouted back with grin.
The boosted Mankey charged forward and sliced the thunder wave in half and continued his charge. He slammed Pichu harder than before as he struggled to get up. Upon returning to Hala, little electric sparks emerged off Mankey.
"Huh?" Hala muttered to himself. "Mankey is paralyzed?" he said out loud till he remembered Pichu's ability. "Grr. Static got him huh?"
"Pichu come on! We got the paralysis! Use sweet kiss to add confusion to it!"
Pichu though struggling, got up and let loose the kiss. It hit Mankey as it wobbled around confused and paralysed.
"Hmph! Use Karate chop!" Hala demanded, but Mankey just tripped over its own feet.
"Nasty plot Pichu!" Hau said confidently.
Pichu used the dark type move and boosted its special attack.
Hala grunted as he saw that his grandson was setting up.
"Snap out of it Mankey!" Hala growled but Mankey continued to trip over and hurt himself.
"Again! Nasty plot!"
"MANKEY! Karate chop!" Hala roared. Mankey's eyes returned to normal as it snapped out of confusion.
He charged forward towards Pichu.
Hau closed his eyes and nodded at Pichu.
"Use thunder shock!" he roared back.
"PIIIIIIIII!" Pichu yelled as the electricity formed around him as he unleashed it at Mankey, devouring him in it.
Mankey fell out of the beam of electricity unconscious with swirly eyes.
"The Kahuna's first Pokemon is unable to battle!" the ref announced as Hala returned Mankey.
"Mankey, you did excellent! This isn't over yet Hau! Go Riolu!" Hala said out loud as the pre-evolution of Lucario appeared.
"He isn't using Crabrawler?" Ash wondered out loud.
"Pichu can't handle much more Riolu! Use quick attack then Force palm!" Hala called out.
Riolu dashed forward and towered over Pichu, slamming its palm in to the head of the electric type before Pichu could react.
Pichu fell over and could not get back up.
"The challengers first Pokemon is unable to battle!" the ref announced for the second time.
Hau returned Pichu back to his Pokeball and sighed.
"You did great Pichu! I'll give you a malasada later on! Popplio, I'm counting on you!" Hau cried.
The water type starter appeared and did a few flips upon appearing.
"Popplio! Use aqua jet!"
Popplio surrounded herself with water and shot off towards Riolu.
"Endure and catch her!"
Riolu endured himself for the attack as Popplio slammed into him. He caught the water type by her frill around her neck.
"Force palm!"
"Use disarming voice to force him back!"
Popplio used the sound based attack as the waves pushed Riolu's hand back due to the pressure. Riolu let go of Popplio.
"Copycat Riolu! Use her own move against her!"
"Aqua jet!" Hau said with determined look.
Popplio rushed at Riolu with Aqua jet while Riolu fought back with disarming voice.
The tension was high between the two as Popplio applied more pressure on the aqua jet, while Riolu raised his voice louder, increasing the power of disarming voice.
Both of them were starting to get tired but their trainers insist on them both to continue pressing on.
"Keep going Popplio!" Hau cried out.
"Riolu! Show them your power to its fullest!" Hala shouted to his fighting type Pokemon.
The fighting type and the water kept contesting between the attacks until a small explosion from the tension occurred.
When the smoke faded away, both Riolu and Popplio were out cold.
"Both the Kahuna's and the challengers Pokemon are unable to battle! This means the battle ends in a draw! Which means the Kahuna decideds if the challenge is worthy of passing!" the ref announced.
Hala returned Riolu and walked over to Hau, who was cradling Popplio.
Hau looked up at his grandfather.
"Hau, your parents would be so proud of you!" Hala said to the boy, whose mouth dropped slightly.
"Does that mean?" he asked.
"Yes. I'm giving you a pass. You have completed the Melemele trials!" Hala announced as the crowd roared.
Ash gave off a sigh of relief knowing Hau passed, but he still had to beat Hala.
"He didn't use his Z-move…" Lillie said out loud.
"I have an idea why…" Kukui muttered as he looked at Ash.
The egg on Lillie's lap wobbled for the first time.
Hala turned to Ash now.
"Ash. It is time for your turn!" Hala said with a smirk.
Ash nodded back.
Ash congratulated Hau when passing him and moved to the stage himself.
"This is the second Grand trial for Melemele Island for today! The battle will contended between Kahuna Hala and Island trial goer Ash! It will be two on two and the winner will be decided when one trainer's pokemon are all knocked out! Trainers! Bring out your first Pokemon and begin!" the ref announced.
"Makuhita! Show him your power!" Hala shouted.
"Rowlet, I choose you!" Ash shouted back.
The Hoenn native fighting type appeared in an aggressive stance quite to the irony of the lazy looking Rowlet.
"Fake out!" Hala commanded.
Makuhita rushed forward and slapped Rowlet.
"Grr, Rowlet! Attack with leafage!" Ash said to the bird, who flew up and let loose the wave of leaves.
The sharp leaves cut up Makuhita, leaving little cuts across his body.
Hala muttered to himself as he had no way of actually attacking Rowlet whilst he was in the air.
"Makuhita, stand your ground!" Hala said flustered.
Ash was confused at the approach.
"Dive down and use peck!"
Rowlet flew downwards as his peck glowed white.
"Wait for it…" Hala thought.
Rowlet was now ten metres away.
"Wait for it…" Hala thought once more.
The grass bird was only a few meters away.
"NOW! CATCH HIM BY THE PECK!" Hala screamed.
Makuhita grabbed the bird by his small beak, however the peck attack was still affect him on his hand, as it cut into it.
"Arm thrust Makuhita!" Hala yelled out.
"Rowlet, spin around and try to free yourself!" Ash called out to the bird.
Before Makuhita could slam his arm into Rowlet, the bird twisted and turned, forcing Makuhita to ignore his trainers call and grab the beak with both hands.
"Rowlet! Use all your strength to fly up as high as possible!"
Rowlet flapped his wings viciously as he struggled but succeeded to lift Makuhita off the ground about 3 to 4 meters up.
"Makuhita!" Hala yelled out as his pokemon panicked in air, crying for help.
"DOWN NOW ROWLET!"
Rowlet stopped flying as the two fell to the ground.
Makuhita at this point had let go off Rowlet. He slammed into the ground on his back and was moaning in pain due to it.
"Finish this Rowlet!" Ash commanded.
Rowlet continued to fall, being lighter out of the two. He sharpened his peck again to use peck, only this time there was nothing Makuhita could do.
Rowlet flew back and landed on the ground as Makuhita failed to move.
"The Kahuna's first Pokemon is unable to battle!" the ref announced.
Hala was annoyed at himself that he nothing to protect Makuhita from Rowlet's flying type attacks.
"Do not let this defeat bother you, I am at fault more than you. Rest now!" Hala said to Makuhita's Pokeball. "I've underestimated you Ash! Time for the big guns! Crabrawler, fighting time!"
The pokeball released the pokemon known as Crabrawler. The bulk of its body was purple, with the tips of its four legs being blue. Its claws were also blue and were shaped like boxing gloves.
"Rowlet. I'll give you a rest. Seeming it's not water type, I'll let Litten have a go." Ash told the bird who flew to the side next to him. "Go Litten."
The fire cat appeared and hissed at Crabrawler, who was pretending to throw punches with his claw gloves.
"Rock smash Crabrawler!" Hala called out as the crabs left claw glowed brown as it raced towards Litten.
"Dodge it and then use ember!"
Litten jumped out of the way of the charging crab's path and spat up the fire type attack. Crabrawler just smacked the fire type attack out of the way with rock smash.
"Fire fang! Then get out of there!" Ash told the cat who nodded back.
Hala kept a serious face as Crabrawler still pretended to throw fake punches. He knew Litten had access to Breakneck Blitz, so he had no choice.
Litten jumped up in the air towards Crabrawler as his mouth got covered in flames.
"Let the cat bite you and then use power-up punch underneath it!" Hala commanded.
Litten latched on to the right claw on Crabrawler, but the attack was short lived due to the fighting type ramming it's free claw into Litten's belly, ripping him off before he could do any serious damage.
Crabrawler got the attack boost thanks to the power-up punch. But it also gained an extra boost as well.
"Huh?" Ash said stunned.
"Crabrawler's ability is iron fist boy!" Hala announced.
Ash grunted.
"Meaning it gets a boost with every punching attack. Then plus the power-up punch!"
"And for Litten… It's over now!" Hala roared.
His wrist began to glow a murky orange as it developed an aura around it. He threw one punch forward with his left hand, pulled it back, and then with his right hand. He did that a few times, before slamming his left foot forward and throwing one massive punch.
The aura surrounded Crabrawler as the crowd watched in awe.
"Crabrawler use All-Out Pummelling!" Hala shouted as both of Crabrawler's claws glowed.
He threw out punches which sent off energy that was shaped like a boxing gloves, palms, fists!
Litten did his best to dodge them all. But one hit him in the side, as he lost composure. Then another hit him under the chin as he fell on to his back.
Crabrawler stopped and lift his claw forward as a massive boxing glove formed over it. He let go as it turned into a blast of ears dropped as he made contact with the attack, creating a mini explosion.
Litten was on his side with swirly eyes.
Ash stood their stunned. What he had been told was right. Z-moves can change the course of a battle.
"The challenger's first Pokemon is unable to battle!" the ref announced.
He returned Litten and smiled at it.
"Rowlet, you're up again!" Ash said with a confident look.
"Hehe! Now this is what I'm talking about!" Hala roared as Crabrawler opened his claw up and let loose a bubble beam as Rowlet flew up.
The bird did his best to avoid the water attack despite it not being very effective, but it did make contact on his leg.
"Razor leaf!"
Rowlet sent forward the sharp leaves, but Crabrawler just punched them out of the way with little issues.
Ash knew he had to land a flying type attack.
Then a plan struck into his mind. He had to be careful about it though, otherwise it could risk him the match.
"Peck!"
"Punch it!"
Before Rowlet could make contact, Crabrawler punched it in the stomach and flung it back.
Ash grunted as Lillie and Hau gasped.
Rowlet slowly got up and gave an angry look as a green glow surrounded it.
Ash smirked at this point as he turned his hat backwards.
"What?" Hau said out loud stunned as Kukui was stunned by Ash's planning.
"Crabrawler activates Rowlet's ability, overgrow. All of Rowlets grass attacks will be pushed to the max!" Kukui explained as he saw the look on Hala's face.
"Leafage and don't stop till I say!" Ash called out, pointing at Crabrawler.
The bird flew up and fired the grass attack, more powerful than ever.
There were more leaves and were much sharper.
Crabrawler tried to punch them away like before but due to the amount and how sharp they were, they just cut right past him.
"Crabrawler! Brace yourself!" Hala called out as Crabrawler made a cross with its arms to make some form of a shield.
"Rowlet! Surround yourself with leafage and dive in with peck!" Ash called out as he knew he was on the verge of victory.
Rowlet created a tornado of the sharp leaves and dived towards Crabrawler.
"Crabrawler! POWER-UP PUNCH!" Hala called out as well.
Crabrawler powered up as his claw glowed brown, waiting to smack Rowlet.
"Fly out of the tornado!" Ash shouted to the bird.
Rowlet stopped as the tornado of leaves continued as Crabrawlers eyes widened, knowing he and his trainer got baited.
The leafage wiped out the power-up punch as Crabrawler lost composer.
"FINISH THIS!" Ash shouted as Rowlet dived in finally before Crabrawler could react.
"Crabra-"Hala started only to be cut off by the impact.
Rowlet re-appeared sitting on an unconscious Crabrawler with a pleased look on its face.
"The Kahuna's second Pokemon is unable to Pokemon. Kahuna Hala no-longer has any more Pokemon to battle, meaning the challenger is the victor!" the ref announced.
"YES! Rowlet we did it!" Ash celebrated as he hugged the bird.
Kukui smiled as Hau and Lillie looked at each other.
"He did it!" Lillie said out loud.
"Pew!" Nebby cried.
"Nebby! Get back in the bag!" Lillie told her Pokemon.
"Koo!" Rowlet said happily as he started to glow.
Everyone looked in shock as Rowlet changed sizes.
"He is evolving!" somebody called out.
Once the light was over, Rowlet reappeared as a different Pokemon. He was bigger and the bulk of his body was white. Around his head was brown feathers with two green leaves actually as hair almost. Its leaf bowtie had grown bigger as well. In the inside of its wing was two sharp quills.
"Trrrix!" it cried as flicked its 'hair'.
Rotom appeared and scanned the evolution.
"Dartrix, the blade quill Pokemon. Dartrix can throw sharp blade like quills at its opponent as a form of attack. It is said that Dartrix trains relentlessly to perfect their aim so they never miss a target. If it gets any dirt on itself, it will immediately stop what it is doing to clean itself. This is the evolved form of the grass flying type Rowlet." Rotom explained.
"Trrrri!" Dartrix cried.
Hala signalled for Hau to come up on stage.
"Congratulations to you both. You have successfully defeated me, Kahuna Hala and have earned the rights to continue you on in the island trials! You have also earned these!" Hala announced dropping two orange crystals in Ash and Hau's hands.
"The fightnium-Z crystal which will allow you to use the Z-move All-Out Pummelling in battle!" Hala explained.
"Your next trial will take place on Akala Island with a girl named Lana." Hala explained to them both.
Before Hau or Ash could asked anything, they heard a large rumble.
"Woah! What was that?" Hau asked.
"Sorry, forgot to eat this morning! I don't think I had ever been this excited for a grand trial in the 50 years I have been Kahuna, I kind of forgot to have breakfast haha!" Hala laughed as did everyone else.
"Woo! I'm keen for some Malasada's!" Hau cried as he was about to run off.
"Hau!" Lillie growled.
"Oh what! You don't want to run because if you run and drop the egg it might go splat and get cooked in the Alolan heat!" Hau rambled as Lillie glared at him horribly.
"Uh, I mean. If you drop the egg, it would be a disaster! We wouldn't want that now would we? Let's walk at Lillie's pace instead." Hau said through his teeth, unwillingly.
Everyone laughed at boy's reluctance as they walked off to celebrate.
Little did they know, Tapu Koko watched the whole thing. It watched them walk off before departing himself in the direction of Akala Island.
"IM SURE TAPU LELE WILL ENJOY HIM…" it said out loud to itself as it flew off.
Author's note: I'm sorry this is a few days late. Festive period really got in the way lol. I hope everyone had a happy new year as well!
We have a Mysterious trainer appear at the beginning... I wonder who that could be!
So Ash and Hau have beat Hala and Rowlet evolved. They have both successfully completed the Melemele trials and will move on to Akala's trials soon!
As requested and I liked the idea, we will be seeing what the traitors are doing so be ready for that! Hopefully that will be out soon :D
So as always Review, suggest or PM me. Spectre out!
