Hokulani Observatory Trial (Part One)

While Maxiley's Pupitar and Phantump were being treated, Maxiley was sitting on a chair in the lobby, signing his name on a tablet to register for the Mask Royal's tournament. After that, the tablet informed Maxiley that he was now registered for the tournament. Later at the cafeteria, the group were having lunch.

"Well, Maxiley, you plan on training hard for the tournament Mask Royal's holding?" asked Edd.

"You bet." replied Maxiley.

"You still have to get through other trainers competing in it before you get a chance to battle Mask Royal." said Edd.

"Especially that Makoa guy." said Sarah.

"Makoa's a tough trainer, I'll give him that." said Maxiley.

"I can think of something else I want to give him." said Sarah, punching her palm, making Maxiley chuckle. After lunch, Maxiley picked up his Pupitar and Phantump.

"Excuse me, but would you like to do a mock trade with me?" the group hear a girl ask a boy.

"No, sorry." replied the boy. The girl lowers her head in disappointment. Edd looks at Maxiley.

"You know, Maxiley; I've read that Phantumps evolve when traded." said Edd. "Perhaps you can do a mock trade with that girl so your Phantump can evolve."

"Sounds like a good idea." replied Maxiley. He walks to the girl. "Excuse me, but I'll do a mock trade with you." The girl turned towards Maxiley.

"Really?! Wow, thank you." said the girl. She and the group then walk to a room that had a trade machine in it. Maxiley puts Phantump's pokeball on one of the pedistals of the trade machine while the girl puts a Dive Ball on another. Maxiley pulls the lever of the trade machine and both pokeballs vanish. On the monitor, silhouettes of Phantump and what appeared to be a Poliwhirl go past each other. The Dive Ball appears on Maxiley's pedistal while Phantump's pokeball appeared on the girl's. The girl pulls the lever and both pokeballs vanish. The monitor then showed different silhouettes going past each other. Phantump's pokeball appeared on Maxiley's pedistal while the Dive Ball appeared on the girl's. Maxiley picked up Phantump's pokeball while the girl picked up the Dive Ball.

"Let's see what Phantump's now." said Maxiley. He tosses Phantump's pokeball and releases a brown, treelike Pokemon with a single eye with green leaves around the wrists of her branchlike arms and on top of her head. The girl tosses her Dive Ball and releases a green and yellow, bipedal, froglike Pokemon with a long, green, curled hair on its head. Edd points the Rotom Dex at Maxiley's newly evolved Phantump.

"Trevenant, the Elder Tree Pokemon, and the evolved form of Phantump. This Pokémon controls trees via roots stretching from its feet, and it will attack anyone that dares to ravage the forest." said the Rotom Dex. He then points the Rotom Dex at the girl's Pokemon. "Politoed, the Frog Pokemon and the evolved form of Poliwhirl. The longer and more luxurious the curled hair on its head, the greater the number of Poliwag and Poliwhirl that will obey it."

"I thought Poliwhirls evolve into Poliwraths." said Eddy.

"Some Pokemon have more than one evolved form, Eddy." said Edd. "Remember Snorunt? They evolve into either Glalie or Froslass, and Eevees have a lot of evolutions."

"Oh, yeah." said Eddy.

"Thanks." said the girl.

"You're welcome." replied Maxiley. The girl and her Politoed both leave the room.

"According to the Rotom Dex, Maxiley; upon evolving, Trevenant learned Shadow Claw." said Edd.

"Cool." said Maxiley. He returned Trevenant to her pokeball and the group leave the trade room. and then they exited the Pokemon Center. They were soon looking up at a building that had a large satellite dish on top of one side, and an observatory telescope on top of the other. Edd looks at the observatory with glee.

"Rapture." said Edd.

"Yeah, yeah; don't forget the real reason we're here, Double D." said Eddy. They walked to the observatory; upon arrival, they see a man with hair that had three layers of color, wearing a blue jacket with red stripes around the forearms over a teal colored shirt, black pants, and shoes, and hexagonal glasses.

"Alola. Are you here for the trial?" asked the man.

"Yeah; are you the Trial Captain?" asked Eddy.

"I used to be; but I passed that role to my cousin, Sophocles. I'm Molayne." said the man, now identified as Molayne. "Nowadays, I just take care of the Alola region's Pokemon Storage System. So which of you wants to challenge my cousin's trial first?"

"I want to challenge it, first!" said Jimmy, waving a hand up. The man leads Jimmy into the observatory and into a room where a younger boy with orange hair, white shirt with a device design on it, brown pants with orange cuffs, and green shoes; was standing next to a door.

"Alola, trial-goer." said the boy. "My name is Sophocles, I'm the one in charge of the Island Trial here."

"It's nice to meet you." said Jimmy. The boy, now identified as Sophocles, leads Jimmy to a table that had three Charjabugs on it.

"Your trial is to arrange the Charjabug so they are all lined up with the connection points on this tables, using only the buttons on the table to do so." said Sophocles.

"That sounds fun." said Jimmy.

"When you successfully accomplish this, the energy will be channeled to that device which should lure the Totem Pokemon to us; then you'll need to defeat it in order to pass your trial." said Sophocles as he points to a device that looked like a bug with long mandibles.

"Okay." said Jimmy. He then tried out the buttons to learn how they work; once he got it down, he manages to line up the Charjabugs perfectly, channeling some power into the device. It activates and starts shaking.

"It's working!" said Sophocles. "We got a Pokemon coming this way." All of a sudden, a yellow, bipedal Pokemon with protusions coming out of its head that looked like outlet prongs, along with two black strips around both of its wrists, as well as a black lightning bolt-shaped mark on its torso, walks into the room. Jimmy takes out the Rotom Pokedex and points it at the Pokemon.

"Elekid, the Electric Pokemon. When its horns shine a bluish white, that's the sign it's fully charged. You'll get a shocking jolt if you touch it!

"Is that the Titan Pokemon?" asked Jimmy.

"No, but could you handle it?" asked Sophocles. "We don't want it wrecking any of the equipment. Jimmy nods as he pulls out a pokeball and throws it, releasing his Lycanroc.

"Lycanroc, use Rock Slide!" said Jimmy. Lycanroc summons up some large rocks and drops them onto the Elekid. It responds by coating one of its fist in electricity and punches Lycanroc. "Lycanroc, use Rock Tomb!" Lycanroc then drops a bunch of rocks onto the Elekid that knock it out.

"Good work, Jimmy." said Sophocles.

"What now?" asked Jimmy.

"Let's try again, and we'll give my device more power this time." said Sophocles. Jimmy does what he did before and lines up the Charjabug again; channeling even more power into the device, activating it. Soon, another yellow bipedal Pokemon with what looked like antenna on its head, yellow stripes all over its body, plus a larger black lightning bolt design on its torso, enters the room. Jimmy points the Rotom Pokedex at it.

"Electabuzz, the Electric Pokemon, and the evolved form of Elekid. While it's often blamed for power outages, the truth is the cause of outages is more often an error on the part of the electric company." said the Rotom Pokedex. Jimmy keeps his Lycanroc out and stares down the Electabuzz.

"Lycanroc, use Accelerock!" said Jimmy. Lycanroc runs quickly at the Electabuzz while coated in a white aura and slams into it. He suddenly twitches uncontrollably.

"Careful!" said Sophocles. "Electabuzz sometimes have the Static ability!"

"Fight it, Lycanroc!" said Jimmy. Lycanroc gathers his energy and breaks free of paralysis. Electabuzz, getting over its surprise, releases a jolt of electricity from its body, hitting Lycanroc. "Use Rock Slide!" Lycanroc suddenly drops a bunch of rocks onto Electabuzz that knock it out.

"Okay; third time's a charm." said Sophocles. Jimmy, once again, arranges the Charjabug and lines them up to power up the machine. But this time, it gets more power than it can contain and releases it towards Sophocles. Suddenly, a large, gray, rodentlike Pokemon with a round body, brown and yellow triangle-shaped spikes on its back, and a lightning bolt-shaped tail comes out and gets in front of the electricity and absorbs it.

"What's that?" asked Jimmy as he takes out the Rotom Pokedex and points it at the Pokemon.

"Togedemaru, the Roly-Poly Pokemon. Its capacity to produce electricity is somewhat limited, so it gets charged up by letting lightning strike it!" said the Rotom Pokedex.

"That's the Totem Pokemon!" said Sophocles.

"The Rotom Pokedex says it's part steel, so not a lot of Lycanroc's moves are going to affect it." said Jimmy as he returns Lycanroc to his pokeball. He puts it away and pulls out another one, then throws it, releasing his Lucario. "Lucario, use Brick Break!" Lucario swings down one of his hands onto the Togedemaru and lands a strong blow, dealing super effective damage. Lucario shakes his hand in pain after that.

"That Togedemaru must have the Iron Barbs ability!" said Sophocles. "Using physical moves on it will do damage to any Pokemon that does so." The Togedemaru reacts by covering its body in electricity and charges into Lucario, doing damage to him.

"If using physical moves will hurt Lucario, I'll use a long range attack." said Jimmy. "Use Aura Sphere!" Lucario channels energy in front of his open palm, forming a blue orb, then launches it at Togedemaru, doing super effective damage.

"Good thinking, Jimmy!" said Sophocles. Togedemaru responds by releasing a surge of electricity everywhere, hitting Lucario in the process.

"One more Aura Sphere, Lucario!" said Jimmy. Lucario launches one more blue energy orb at the Togedemaru and does enough super effective damage to knock it out.

"You did it, Jimmy!" said Sophocles. Jimmy runs over to Lucario and hugs him.

"You were great, Lucario!" said Jimmy. Lucario grins in response.

"You must be quite the trainer if you were able to defeat that Totem Pokemon." said Molayne. Sophocles steps forward and holds out a yellow Z-Crystal that had a lightning bolt-shaped emblem inside it.

"That is Electrium-Z." said Sophocles. He then hands it to Jimmy, along with pokedollars, and then shows him the pose needed to activate it. After that, Jimmy exits the room and meets up with his friends.

"How did it go, Jimmy?" asked Maxiley. Jimmy smiles as he holds out his new Z-Crystal.

"Congratulations, Jimmy." said Edd.

"Thanks, Double-D." said Jimmy.

"So who's next?" asked Molayne. Sarah steps forward.

"I'm next." said Sarah.

"Very well. Follow me and I'll take you to where the trial is." said Molayne. He leads Sarah to the room where the trial is taking place where she meets Sophocles. After being explained what she had to do for the trial, she begins pushing the buttons until she arranged the Charjabugs and channeled some electricity into the device, which makes the Elekid appear.

"Is that the Titan Pokemon?" asked Sarah.

"No; but you will need to battle it." said Sophocles. Sarah turned towards the Elekid and pulls out a pokeball.

"Blissey, go!" said Sarah, throwing Blissey's pokeball and releasing her. "Blissey, Echoed Voice!" Blissey lets out a loud yell that releases a soundwave that hits the Elekid, damaging it. Elekid releases stars from its body and they hit Blissey. Blissey lets out a louder yell and a more powerful soundwave that hits Elekid, dealing more damage to it. Elekid unleashes electricity from its body and it hits Blissey, damaging her. Blissey then releases an even louder yell that lets out a powerful soundwave that hits Elekid, knocking it out. "You did it, Blissey."

"It seems you need to channel more electricity into the device to summon the Totem Pokemon." said Sophocles. Sarah does so and successfully lined up the next line of Charjabugs, channeling more energy into the device, activating it. An Electabuzz appears. "This isn't the Titan Pokemon, but you will need to battle it."

"You ready, Blissey?" asked Sarah. Blissey nods in response. "Okay, Blissey, use Sweet Kiss!" Blissey jumps at Electabuzz and kisses it. It became confused and begins stumbling around. Electabuzz's hand becomes surrounded by electricity, but it punches itself across the face. "Use Take Down!" Blissey charges at Electabuzz and rams it, knocking it back. Blissey flinches in pain from the recoil damage caused by Take Down. "Are you okay, Blissey?" Blissey nods in response. Electabuzz releases electricity from its body and it hits Blissey. "Blissey, use Echoed Voice!" Blissey lets out a loud yell and a shockwave that hits the Electabuzz, knocking it back. Electabuzz charges at Blissey with incredible speed, but rams into a wall from its confusion. It falls backwards onto the floor with swirly eyes.

"You may need to channel just a little more power into the device to bring out the Totem Pokemon." said Sophocles. Sarah, wanting Blissey to rest, returns Blissey to her pokeball. Sarah then proceeds to push buttons of the machine to line up the next line of Charjabugs until she was able to line them up and channel more energy into the device. This time, the Totem Pokemon appeared. "This is the Titan Pokemon, Sarah."

"It's about time it showed up!" exclaimed Sarah. She pulls out a pokeball. "Salazzle, go!" She throws Salazzle's pokeball and releases her. "Salazzle, Nasty Plot!" Salazzle glares at Togedemaru and her special attack strength increases. The Totem Pokemon spins around and becomes covered in electricity; it flies at Salazzle and rams her, knocking her back. "Flame Burst!" Salazzle opens her mouth and launches a fireball out of it and it hits the Totem Pokemon, dealing super effective damage to it. The Totem Pokemon rams into Salazzle, but not doing much damage to her. "Flame Burst!" Salazzle unleashes another fireball from her mouth and it hits the Titan Pokemon, dealing enough damage to knock it out.

"Congratulations, Sarah; you defeated the Titan Pokemon, so you passed the trial." said Sophocles.

"We did it, Salazzle!" cheered Sarah. Salazzle gives a victory sign. Sophocles walks to Sarah while pulling an Electrium-Z Crystal out of his pocket and shows it to Sarah.

"This is Electrium-Z." said Sophocles. He then hands it to Sarah, along with pokedollars, and then shows him the pose needed to activate it. After that, Sarah exits the room and meets up with the others.

"Congratulations, Sarah." said Maxiley.

"Thanks, Maxie." said Sarah. Molayne walked to the Eds.

"So which of you is next?" asked Molayne.

"I am!" said Ed, stepping forward.

"Very well, then." said Molayne. He lead Ed towards the room where the trial is taking place. Will Ed succeed?
