Starry's Sunny Adventure! Epic 04

Epic 4:
Road of Trials in Melemele Island

So Haruto has entered the Trainer’s School. Prof. Kukui told him that he have to beat 4 school trainers, so Haruto figured out he should train his Pokemon some more. He also met some new Pokémon like Alolan Grimer which is named Sledge, Magnemite that he named Magneto, and the Alolan Meowth which he named Primp.

In the middle of his training sessions and battling some trainers, Haruto figured out of Munchy’s antics where it seemingly summoning moves after another via Metronome, including Oblivion Wing among others. The other thing he discovered is that Buttercup has finally evolved into Butterfree! After battling all 4 trainers, suddenly Haruto got called to the 2F in the school, where Teacher Emily asked for battle as well. Munchy’s does it again with Hyper Beam as the move that knocks her Magnemite down, while Sparkle managed to strike her Meowth thanks to Disarming Voice, hence ending the match.

After all the battle, Captain Ilima notices it and asked Haruto to partake on his trial somewhere. Afterwards, it’s announced that Haruto has passed the school’s challenge with flying colors. Outside of the school, Lillie told Haruto that she understands why all his Pokémon chose him. Before finishing her talk, suddenly they’re interrupted by a certain Tauros on the road, which is calmed down by Hala. Hala told Haruto to pet the Tauros, which caused it to be happy. Afterwards, Lillie and Hau invited Haruto to get around to Hau’oli City, the central city in Melemele Island which is also infamous with the beach as well.

So they came, and Haruto was taught how to greet in Alola region, which is turned out to be Alola as well! And then Haruto and Hau visited Alola Tourist Bureau, where the Rotom Dex is given a Pokéfinder, which it enjoys a lot, that it even remarks that it don’t want to leave the Dex for life! Rotom sure is fired up to the point that it took the picture of Haruto, Hau and Lillie together. Afterwards, Lillie gave Haruto a Lens Case since she got one as a gift for being the 999,999th visitor in clothes store, and she already has one before.

After Haruto heals his Pokemon in the nearby Pokémon Center, he overhears some talking about Team Skull. As he strolls in Hau’oli City, Hau came and recommends him to eat malasada in a nearby store. Afterwards, he went to Marina where he met with Captain Ilima once again. The conversation was interrupted when 2 grunts from Team Skull passing by, so both Haruto and Ilima battle them, with Munchy’s easily beating the grunt’s Zubat by Flash Cannon and then Tackle.

Afterwards, Ilima is interested of how Haruto battles since he even beat the teacher in the Trainers’ School, so he asked for one more battle too, which is won by Haruto once again. So Ilima invited him to attend a trial he made in Route 2. On the way Haruto caught several Pokémon, including Makuhita that he called Makit, and putting it on main roster replacing Birdie for the moment. And then he got interrupted by the same 2 grunts from before who was about to stole Berries, and they were defeated again. And finally, Haruto has arrived at the trial site named Verdant Cavern!

So, Haruto’s first trial has begun. The mission in the first trial is to defeat three of the Pokémon that lurk in the dens and then collect the Z-Crystal nearby. Haruto defeated the first two Yungoos with ease, but having difficulties on finding the third one called Gumshoos, until these two Team Skull grunts are back and set to battle Haruto once again, which are defeated yet again. And then, these two, for some reason, helped Haruto out to find the third Pokémon required so that Haruto can pass through the cave!

So Haruto wanted to take the Z-Crystal, but a huge Totem Gumshoos appeared to halt him! So Haruto send out Sparkle to battle. It was tough battle when Totem Pokémon summoned Yungoos to help it, but Sparkle’s Disarming Voice handled both of them, and with the last Aqua Jet, Sparkle managed to defeat the Gumshoos. And at this moment, it evolved into Brionne! Captain Ilima comes by and says congrats as Haruto finally completed the first Trial and getting the first Z-Crystal called Normalium Z!

So then, Captain Ilima and Prof. Kukui teach Haruto how to execute the Normal-type Z-Move, which is done brilliantly. Afterwards, Prof. Kukui asked Haruto if he happened to see Lillie around, since she was missing somewhere in Route 3. So Haruto searched for her, and on the way, he caught a Cutiefly which he calls Hunny, which replaces Makit as part of the main roster.

In Route 3, Haruto enters Melemele Meadow where he found Lillie, but the problem is that Nebby is once again going far away, which caused concern for Lillie since Nebby can’t use any attack moves, so Haruto is set to search for it. After finding it, Lillie thanks Haruto once again. Soon after, Hau is coming by and told the gang that he has also completed the first trial, and asked Haruto for a battle. So the battle ends with Haruto winning, with a combo of Munchy’s and Sparkle.

So then, Prof. Kukui comes along and told Haruto and Hau that they’re eligible to fight the Kahuna Hala, since there is only one trial in Melemele Island, and they have completed it. So they headed back to Iki Town where they met Hala once again. Hala asked Haruto for a battle as the grand trial of the island.

So the battle begins, with Sparkle taking the lead with Disarming Voice, since this particular Fairy-move is super effective against Fighting types, in which it took down both Mankey and Makuhita. And then Hala sends out Crabrawler, which executes the Fighting-type Z-Move called All-Out Pummeling, which deal some damage for Sparkle. But then Sparkle counters back with Disarming Voice that ends the grand trial with Haruto being the one victorious.

Hala approves Haruto’s strength as a trainer and gave him Fightinium Z as a proof that he has completed the grand trial of the Melemele Island, and also giving him access to ride with Tauros. So then, Captain Ilima also came on that moment while noticing that Haruto didn’t use Z-Moves in the grand trial, which amazes him as he compliments Haruto for doing so. Ilima also asked him to come to his house if he has some time.

So then, Prof. Kukui told everyone in the gang that they can now visit Akala Island by going to the Marina in Hau’oli City, so Prof. Kukui and Lillie are leaving while preparing so that the ship is ready. So then, Haruto said farewell to his mom since he’s undergoing a long journey, and then undertakes more training given that he can use Tauros to break rocks, so he decided to catch some Pokémon in Ten Carat Hill first.

After that, Haruto arrived in Hau’oli City where he visits Ilima’s house. In there, Ilima told him that he has prepared some methods and wanted to test it by challenging Haruto in Pokémon battle. Haruto accepts, so both of them are battling in the field of the Trainers’ School. Soon after, the match is done and Ilima told Haruto that it’s the best battle he ever fought, and gave him Everstone as sign of thanks for the match.

So then, Haruto prepared himself so that he will be ready to go to Akala Island, so he proceeds to go to the Marina, to find out that everyone will go there with a ship which is classic. So then they went off, with quite a breeze. Hau sure enjoys being on the breeze and asked Prof. Kukui to drive it faster, but Lillie is concerned that the ship might go past its limit, while Hau asked Lillie if she’s worried that her hat will fall off in the sea. So then, the ship will cruise its way to the point that they will arrive at the destination soon...
