Alola Story Chapter 5 (partE)

Eremas · March 19

The next trial was going to be largely uneventful I had thought. I started thinking how routes have a variety of types. Started asking myself what type of Pokemon the Trial will bring.

Maybe a pompous Flying type? This trial could possibly have a Pokemon that is so very into themselves and confident. Izzy pondered.

Maybe a ground type that looks like it's from one of those Shonen? Or a tsundere characteristic one, wouldn't that be grand? But I am getting ahead of myself. It will probably be a Drilbur the pangolin Pokemon. It does save people from time to time. Jumping from it's burrow and being spotted doesn't happen everyday. Most people do not get this chance. Aren't in the right place at the right time. I must be a little lucky, I thought to myself. But wait, it isn't something spectacular and something absurdly normal and what is a tsundere ground type anyway? What does it all mean?

Or maybe it will be a wide Rock type Pokemon. Something savage like an Onix. Though in the history of the islands there has only been one sighting. That's what the legends say.

As I walk up to a dais there's a man! He has a fro that is pointed up. Very cool hairstyle I remember thinking. Back to retelling this story. He's naked! I get nervous and I remember this IS where the trial was supposed to be taking place. As I get closer I notice he is dressed. With a traditional Akala suit and some jewelry and he has red hair in his fro. This would be very popular with the Gen Z. He flicks away a cigarette as if I wouldn't have noticed but because behaving is my logic I won't say anything to this man.

He has me perform some sort of puzzle while he distracts me, and tests me, talking and having me look away as some illusion is set up. This should be a game show. I'm starting to get an impression this Kahuna(I later learn they aren't the Kahuna) is a hooligan. I overlook the feelings I have for him. It's going to be a fast battle. Decidueye doesn't take any playing around from trainers or their Pokemon.

I send out Decidueye and Kiawe sends out his first. Turtonator raises it's arms in a display of strength. And spits fire. Decidueye is surely going to take on this clumsy looking dragon.

"Ready to battle Izzy?" Captain Kiawe asks.

"I'm ready to win!" I retort. And Turtonator turns it's back to Decidueye looking directly at it's trainer. I am very focused now and I start seeing droplets of something falling from the sky. It makes me ponder a little and think outside of the battle and strategy I have used going up to this point. "Decidueye fly up! And Feather Dance," but I thought it was too late. And wrongly because Turtonator's shell glowed. It was heating up and this was the signature move. Feather Dance hit and I was sent into fear. Will Decidueye go down from Turtonator's Shell Trap? Was it time to go Home? But it did nothing. Decidueye was focused now. I shout.

"Quick, Spirit Shackle!" I hoped Decidueye even out in the open gets this attack off. That Turtonator's shell won't be turned again. My Decidueye lifts up an arm with it's leafy appendage up pulls back a Spirit-y arrow and let's it loose. Turtonator goes down instantly.

Captain Kiawe retreats Turtonator sending out Charizard. For some reason I thought this Pokemon was my spirit animal.

"Captain is this what you are going with?" I cannot lose now because I know all of Charizard's moves.

I switch out Decidueye for my Sliggo.

This battle will be what sets us apart. I remember fighting with Goomy and it evolving what felt like in battle. And for some reason I remember first getting Rowlet. And how Rowlet froze when first sensing this Goomy that was. I start tearing up.

Wiping my tears, I ask Sliggo almost in song," Shelter."

Charizard rained down fire on Sliggo. I shout," Keep Sheltering." Charizard's attack barely hurting Sliggo. I feel like a champion when I battle with this Pokemon. But it doesn't last long. Sliggo had other plans and jumped at this Charizard that was now sending out Slashes and even hitting a critical point. Sliggo's body press landed solidly and there was a tremble. I low pulse but it shook me from this hit.

Charizard hopped and flapped it's wings. It hopped back on it's heels.

Sliggo's Dragon Claw finished the battle with this.

"Okay this is as far as you're going to get. You little duck are going to be held here. I'm going to hit you hard here." The volcano air got hotter noticably. As Kiawe sent out his last Pokemon I used my only full restore on Sliggo. It was my little champion after all. Kiawe sent out an Alolan Marowak.

Over the travels this was the first time seeing some Pokemon like this creature. It boggled the mind how it came to being.

I flip out my Rotom Dex.

Burning Bonemarang

Burning bone that's flames cause both mental and physical pain that never go away.
