Well, I don't know what to talk about... Recently I uploaded a story called "Don't read this" to ahead and read it! I wanted to make Hau and Lillie more important than in the actual games, which is why I had Hau and Lillie randomly show up last chapter. I need to get a little better at writing, because I've seen story's WAY better than mine, but anyways...


Mercury walked out of Verdent Cavern. "Woah! Is that a Z-Crystal!" Hau asked. "Yes." Ilima walked over to them. "It's the Normalium-Z. It can turn normal-type moves into a Z-move, Break-Neck Blitz." The group moved on to route 3. "Normalium-Z, that's a fancy name!" Hau said. "The Grand Trial is up ahead, back at Iki Town." Lillie said "We should go, we can check out the meadows too." Mercury read a sign. "Please beware of Mandibuzz." Mercury read "MANDIBUZZ!" They were cautious while walking through route 3. A Mandibuzz came flying at them. "GAH!" they all screamed. "Thunder, use Thuuuuu... actually..." Mercury realized he could try out his new Z-Move. He sent out Raider, who he had given the Normalium-Z. He struck the pose Ilima taught him. He had excitement in his eyes. "Raider, use Break-Neck Blitz!" he shouted.

"CRAW!" the Mandibuzz screamed. "That was..." Hau paused "AWESOME! Another reason Lillie should've fallen for you by now!" Lillie finally let her anger out "STOP SHIPPING US!" she shouted. "Not until Tepig fly!" Hau responded. They passed by the Melemele Meadow. "Hey, let's check out the meadows!" Lillie said. "Ugh..." Mercury and Hau groaned. When they walked in, Nebby jumped out of Lillies bag and ran over to the other side of the meadow. "Pew!" it cried in enjoyment. "Nebby, come back here!" Lillie shouted. "Mercury, can you get Nebby?" Lillie asked "It's across the field and i don't have any more Repels." Mercury went across the field, encountering many grass-type Pokemon. "Nebby, come on." Mercury said. It ignored him. He had to walk over to pick it up and bring it back. It weighed less than a feather, literally 0.2 pounds.

"Oh, Nebby..." Lillie said "Thank you Mercury. Lillie stuffed Nebby back in her bag. She was starting to get annoyed with Nebby escaping the bag. The 2 left the meadows. "He-e-ey Mercury!" Hau ran up to them. He had stayed behind to take a break, and ran to them to continue to Iki Town. "Oh! And Lillies with you, too!" Mercury knew what would happen. "Don't you dare." he said. "So, when you gonna kiss?" Hau said. "Oh, my, Muking, Arceus." Mercury whispered under his breath. Mercury and Lillie left to Iki Town to ignore Hau constantly shipping them. But Hau decided "Hey Mercury, let's battle!" "Uh... fine..." Mercury said.

[

I really didn't remember there being a battle here.

Hau sent out Pikachu

Mercury sent out Brawler.

Pikachu used Play Nice.

Brawler used Force Palm.

Play Nice made Brawlers attack go down, and he couldn't hit very hard. But Force Palm definitely did some damage. He smacked Pikachu as hard as he could.

Pikachu used Electro Ball.

Brawler used Force Palm.

Pikachu's Static!

Brawler was Paralyzed.

Brawler smacked Pikachu with all its might, but that lead to Pikachu paralyzing him. Pikachu shocked Brawler with a SUPER powerful Electro Ball.

Pikachu used Play Nice.

Brawler is Paralyzed, it can't move!

Pikachu used Quick Attack.

Brawler used Force Palm.

Pikachu hit Brawler with great power, but Brawler hit harder. If Pikachu had used Electro Ball, Brawler would've fainted.

Pikachu used Electro Ball.

Brawler fainted!

Mercury sent in Poltergeist.

Pikachu used Electro Ball.

Poltergeist used Lick.

Pikachu fainted!

}

Hau sent in Popplio.

Mercury switched to Raider.

Popplio used Disarming Voice.

Raider used Razor Leaf.

Popplio screamed as loud as it could, and damaged Raider (and his eardrums). However, Raiders Razor Leaf did alot, almost whipping out Popplio.

Popplio used Disarming Voice.

Raider used Razor Leaf.

Popplio fainted!

{

Raider grew to level 16!
HP + 2

Speed + 0

Everything else + 1

There some others that leveled up, but it's kinda unnecessary to show them, so i'm gonna stop to save time.

}

"Well, that was exciting!" Hau said. While he was talking, Mercury and Lillie snuck off to get away from him. They all went to Iki Town.

At Iki Town.

"I'm lookin' forward to seeing the moves you and your Pokemon will pour your soul into..." Kukui said "Now that you've gone and cleared your first trial, Mercury!" Hala walked over. "Hello, Mercury!" he said "Ready for our battle?" Mercury was nervous. "Yeah... I just have to, um..." he responded. They got on the arena, Mercury's palms were sweating. "Let's dance!" Mercury said. He was surprised Hala didn't start dancing.

[

Hala sent in Mankey.

Mercury sent in Brawler.

Mankey used Karate Chop.

Brawler used Sand Attack.

Mercury knew that Brawler wouldn't help, so he had him just lower Mankey's accuracy.

Mankey used Karate Chop.

Brawler fainted!

told ya.

Mercury sent in Thunder.

Mankey used Karate Chop.

It's super effective!

Thunder used Magnet Bomb.

Thunder charged energy to launch Magnets at Mankey, but right after attacking, it got hit.

Mankey used Karate Chop.

Thunder fainted!

Mercury sent in Poltergeist.

Mankey used Pursuit.

Poltergeist avoided the attack!

Poltergeist used Lick.

How does a lick damage a Pokemon?

Mankey used Focus Energy.

Poltergeist used Lick.

Mankey charged up energy to attack, and again, how does a lick damage a Pokemon? Look, I can't write how Poltergeist damaged Mankey if I don't know how it works!

Mankey used Pursuit.

Poltergeist avoided the attack!

Poltergeist used Lick.

Mankey was paralyzed!

I guess that Sand Attack did do something good!... How does a lick PARALYZE a Pokemon? THE MOVE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, OK!

Poltergeist used Lick.

Mankey fainted!

Poltergeist couldn't be hit by Hala's fighting type moves, so it blocked Mankey, but mostly because of Brawlers Sand Attack.

Hala sent in Crabrawler.

Mercury switched to Hurricane.

Okay, it looks like I'm stupid, but i know that Crabrawler uses a Z-Move. I sent in Hurricane so he wasted the Z-Move on something useless.

Crabrawler charged up its Z-Power. Hala struck a pose.

Hurricane fainted!

Mercury sent in Poltergeist.

I use that "Z-Waste" strategy alot for Kahunas (yes, i call it the "Z-Waste"). But anyways...

Poltergeist used Lick.

Crabrawler was paralyzed!

Crabrawler used Pursuit.

Poltergeist... licked Crabrawler with the spirit of a ghost and damaged it with a haunted lick (?)... Crabrawler charged at Poltergeist and hit it with a powerful dark-type move, whipping it out.

Mercury sent in Vortex.

Vortex used Wing Attack.

It's super effective!

Crabrawler is paralyzed, it can't move!

Vortex used an attack with the power of 1,000,000... ants... BUT HEY THAT'S STILL A LOT! Crabrawler couldn't move, it was helpless and couldn't avoid the attack.

Vortex used Wing Attack.

Crabrawler used Pursuit.

Vortex used Wing Attack.

Crabrawler fainted!

Hala sent in Makuhita.

Makuhita used Fake Out.

Vortex fainted!

Mercury sent in Raider.

Raider used Peck.

It's super effective!

Makuhita used Arm Thrust.

Raider's peck had force to it, while Makuhita might as well not have attacked at all!

Raider used Peck.

It's super effective!

Makuhita used Arm Thrust.

Raider pecked again, he only needed to attack once more to defeat Makuhita.

Raider used Peck.

With great force, Raider pushed on, and was able to defeat Makuhita.

"Well, well, Mercury." Hala said "You truly deserve this Z-Crystal." He handed Mercury the Fightinium-Z. They here a loud nosise. "Ko-ko-o-o-o-o-o!" they all heard. "Oh, looks like Tapu Koko approves of our battle!" Hala said. "I guess that means I'm heading for Akala soon." Mercury said. "Mercury!" Lillie ran up to him. "I'm so proud of you!"

The Next Morning

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* "GAH! I'm late!" Mercury jumped out of bed "I gotta get to the marina!" He got dressed and ran out. "Mercury, there you are!" Hau said at the marina "...Why aren't you wearing a shirt?" Lillie looked over "Wha-a-a-a..." Mercury ran back home, and noticed he also forgot his Pokemon at his house in there Pokeballs. He ran back as fast as he could, since he only had 1 minute to get there. "*pant* I'm here. *pant*" Mercury said at the marina. They left to Akala. What adventures would they go on? What Pokemon will they find? Wha-

They got to Akala, and looked at the beautiful island. "Land ahoy!" Hau jumped of the ship. "Isn't it alittle late to declare 'land ahoy?'" Lillie said. "I'm glad that ship didn't break down!" Mercury said "That thing is so old it was made by monkeys!" Some people interrupted the group talking after Mercury's roast. "Still haven't found a shirt that goes with your lab coat, hmm, Kukui?" the women said. "Nice one!" Mercury high-fived her. "So, you must be Mercury?" the women asked. "Yep." Mercury answered "And you must be the kahuna, Olivia." Mercury already read about the kahunas, Hala, Olivia, and Nanu. He knew all about the islands of Alola, too. Except for one. "Yes, i am." Olivia said "I was told you know alot about Alola because of books that you've read, huh." Mercury was confused who'd care enough about me to tell-" Mercury looked over at Kukui. "Ohhhhh..."

"So, whose that green-haired girl?" Mercury asked. "Oh, me?" the girl said "I'm Mallow, one of the trial captains at Alola." They talked a bit more. "If you go to brooklet hill you'll find my friend Lana." Mallow said "She's the captain of the first trial you'll face." Mercury was in the mood for a pun, so he said "Well, Wynaut! Get it, like the Pokemon... Wynaut..." *Insert laugh track*


So, this is the second time I've ended a chapter a little earlier than I normally would... So, what should I talk about... oh, i have an idea! Have you ever been to or heard of Safari Joe's. It's a really cool water park but the thing I'm going to talk about are the slides. Not the wimpy ones, the cooler ones higher up. They're awesome, like the Looping Banana. It starts by dropping strait down then goes into a loop, and then brings you to the bottom. But enough about Safari Joe's... oh right that's all i have... Oh, the CHARACTER CHECKUP!

Since this was so long, and there aren't any new Pokemon, I'm gonna skip the Pokemon checkup. I'm planning on making chapters after this a little longer than i have been (around 2'700 words). Hope I'll actually stick to that!
