> My Little Pony in Alola > by fimfan10 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The arrival in Alola > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1 In the magical land of Equestria Twilight Sparkle and her friends were finding something else to do when suddenly a letter came out of Spike's mouth. "What does it say Spike?" Asked Twilight. "It said that the Princesses want us to come to Canterlot right now." Spike said. "And it also said to... pack our stuff up?" "Now did they say that?" Rainbow said. "Not sure Rainbow darling, but we better do what they say." Rarity said. So they went back to their houses and packed some of their stuff up and they went to the castle. Meanwhile at Canterlot castle Princess Celestia and Luna were waiting on the 6 ponies and after a few minutes they have arrived. "Princesses, we came as fast as we could." Twilight said as she and her friends were coming in with their suitcases. "Why did you call us here?" Applejack asked. "Follow us." Celestia said. As they were walking Celestia told them about a spell that lets them communicate with creatures from another world and there is one world that they are interested in: The Pokémon world. "What's the Pokémon world?" Twilight asked. "Pokémon are mysterious creatures with wonderful powers. Some can evolve to become more powerful while some stays the same. They can be found everywhere in their world." Celestia said. "And that is why we are sending you guys to the Pokémon world for a nice vacation." Luna said. "So that's why you said to pack our things up." Pinkie Pie said. "And that's why we prepared a spell that transport you guys to that world." Luna said. So after they discussed it with each other they agreed to go on vacation together. "And don't worry about the elements of harmony they will be safe with us." Celestia said. And so with that said the princesses prepared the spell and it opened a portal to one of the regions in the Pokémon world and after the ponies and Spike said their good byes they leaped through the portal and they were heading to the Pokémon world. In the Alola region a young boy named Ash and his Pokémon partner Pikachu were having a fun time. "All right! This is awesome!" Ash said as he was having fun. But before he said something to a Pokémon named Sharpedo he and Pikachu saw a light coming from the beach. "Woah, Sharpedo stop!" He said to the Pokémon. "Let's head back. There is something on the beach that me and Pikachu want to see." So Sharpedo went back to to a dock and when they got to the beach a crowd has gathered to see what's going on. When they got to the center of the crowd he and Pikachu saw 6 ponies and a young dragon looking around. "WOW!" Ash said in excitement. "Who are they?" When Twilight saw Ash and Pikachu she walked toward them. "Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant Spike." Twilight said as she introduced herself and Spike to Ash. "Nice to meet you." Spike said. "And who are you?" "My name is Ash and this is my partner Pikachu." Ash said as he also introduced himself and Pikachu to Twilight and Spike. "And who are those ponies right behind you?" "Ash, these are my friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash and we came from another world." Twilight said. "WOW! So you and your friends came from another world? That's amazing!" Ash said. "Can you tell me more about your world while I look for the Pokémon School?" "Of course." Twilight said. As they walked through the forest looking for the school Twilight was telling Ash about the land of Equestria and how there are more talking ponies in their world and how its filled with the magic of friendship. When they reached an opening they saw the School that Ash was looking for and there in the middle of a track they saw three Pokémon and a girl. "WOW! So many Pokémon!" Ash said as he ran out on the track but then Applejack saw something coming toward Ash and she screamed "Look out partner!" But it was too late Ash got ran over by 3 Pokémon named Tauros. "Stop it Tauros, come on!" said a girl named Mallow. Twilight, her friends, the girl, and Pikachu ran over to see if Ash is okay. "Are you okay darling?" Rarity said. Then Ash got up and said "Oh yeah, I'm fine. Actually I'm good with dealing with Tauros." "Really?" Spike said. "Yeah, you see I've caught some back home in Kanto." Ash said. When a Tauros came toward Ash and his new friends it scared the girl named Lillie and when she saw Pikachu she was also scared of it. Ash, Pikachu and the ponies were confused at the girl who is afraid of Pokémon. "Hey you are acting like you're scared of Pokémon." Ash said. But Lillie lied to them saying that she is not afraid. And after their introductions of each other Mallow decided to show Ash and his new friends around the Pokémon School. After their tour of the school they meet the Professor of the Alola region: Professor Kukui. "A big alola to you all." he said as he walked into the classroom. "Who is that?" Rainbow Dash said. "That's Professor Kukui he's also our teacher." Mallow said. "Professor I'd like you to meet Ash who came from the Kanto region and Twilight Sparkle and her friends that came from another world." "Principle Oak has just filled me in on you guys. Hi ponies and Spike, Ash and Pikachu the Pokémon School is a wonderful place. I hope you guys enjoy your stay here." he said. "Thank you." Ash said. But before Twilight and her friends can say thank you to the Professor they heard roaring coming from the gates and when they looked down they saw two guys and a girl wearing black and white clothes were walking toward a man. "Who are they?" Twilight said. As they walked down to the gates the man in front just said to the other man with a Charizard "Stopping our bikes the way you did was not the smartest of moves." "Yeah, just like my bro said." Said the second man. "Team Skull doesn't like anyone getting in our way." The first man said. "You got that right." said the girl. "I don't remember blocking the road." said the man with the Charizard. "The only people that I can see getting in the way are you." "Well listen to the big talker." said the first man. "Who are those guys?" Ash said as he and the ponies came running toward the gates. "Th-they look scary." Fluttershy said as she hid behind her friends. "They are part of Team Skull." Mallow said. "Always bullying others into a Pokémon battle. Not nice." "If you can beat us in a Pokémon battle you can walk away." said the first Team Skull member. "Yeah, but if we beat you then that Charizard of yours belong to us." said the second Team Skull member. "You'll be sorry." said the man. When the Team Skull members brought out 3 of their Pokémon which were salandit, yungoos and zubat they told the man to tell his Charizard to fight but then... "Stop it!" said Ash as he ran out to help. Rainbow was going to help too but Twilight used her magic to stop her. "Twilight, why did you stop me?" said Rainbow. "Because you don't have any Pokémon to help that man." Twilight said. Then Rainbow realized it as well and said "Oh, your right. Guess I have no choice but to sit back and watch." "Who do you think you are?" said the second Team Skull member. "You're cowards! Ganging up 3 against 1." Ash said to the Team Skull members. "Heh, what are you going to do about it?" said the first Team Skull member. "I'll fight too!" Said Ash. "Are you ready? And you're..." "Kiawe." said the man. "But, I don't need any help." But Ash decides to battle along side Kiawe by bringing out his partner Pikachu. Kukui was amazed by what Ash is doing and said "Oh my." "Don't hurt yourself." Kiawe said as he brought out his pokeball. "All right, Turtonator come on out!" When both sides got out their Pokémon they were ready to battle. "Now salandit! Show them your strength with venoshock!" said the first Team Skull member. "Yungoos, use bite!" said the second member. "Zubat, leech life!" said the girl member. "Pikachu, use quick attack!" said Ash as Pikachu prepared its attack. So Pikachu dodged the poison type move and attacked the 3 Salandit. When Turtonator turned around exposing it's shell and when the 6 Pokémon bit down on the spines on the shell they blew up causing damage to the other Pokémon. "Quick Salandit, use flame burst!" said the first member as the 3 salandit launched flames from their tails. "Pikachu, dodge and use thunderbolt!" said Ash as Pikachu jumped up in the air and used an electric bolt heading toward the 3 salandit. When the 9 Pokémon got up Kiawe walked forward and said "I'll finish this." Then suddenly the crystal on his bracelet started to glow and Ash, Pikachu, and the ponies were surprised at what Kiawe was doing and even the 3 Team Skull members were shocked at what he was doing. After some poses with his Pokémon he shouted out "Inferno Overdrive!" to Turtonator and it launched a giant fireball at the 9 Pokémon causing huge damage to them causing them to faint. "We won't forget this!" said the first member. "Y-yeah, just like my bro said." said the second member. "If you were going to use that move you should have told us!" said the first member as they drove off on their bikes. "Kiawe... what was that?" said Ash. Then Rainbow flew over to Kiawe and said "That was awesome! What was that!?" "A Z move." said Kukui. Twilight walked over to them and asked Kukui "What's a Z move?" "You see Z moves are special moves passed down in the Alola region." Kukui said. Then after Ash told Kukui that he wants to become a Pokémon master something landed on Ash's and Twilight's heads and when they turned around they saw a yellow Pokémon flying towards the forest. "Who's that Pokémon?" said Ash. "Yeah I saw it too Ash." Twilight said. But the others were confused at what Ash and Twilight saw. "It was just there! It was a Pokémon for sure!" Ash said. "Yeah, I saw it too! I think it was yellow, about this big, and it has an orange crest on its head." Twilight said as she gave the description of the Pokémon. "That sounds like..." Kukui said. "Tapu Koko." Kiawe said. "You two saw Tapu Koko? Guardian of Melemele island?" Lillie said. That night while they were enjoying a meal they saw the island guardian again and so Ash, the ponies and spike followed Tapu Koko and they found it on the patio of the walkway and it gave them all special bracelets with different crystals on them. When Ash put his on it started to shine and after that it flew away. And so they all decided to start their new journey together in the morning. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2 The next day at the Pokémon school Sophocles, Lana, and Mallow were having fun with their Pokémon when Professor Kukui came in with Ash, Twilight and their friends. "Starting today Ash, Twilight and their friends will be joining us at the Pokémon school. If they have any questions please don't hesitate to help them out." Kukui said. Then suddenly Kukui remembered something that he forgot: to give Twilight and her friends their first Pokémon. "Twilight, can you and your friends come with me." Kukui said. "Why?" Twilight said. "I forgot to give you guys your first Pokémon." Kukui said. And so with that said Twilight and her friends followed Kukui to the town where a Kahuna named Hala is waiting for them. "Alola Professor." Hala said as Kukui walked in with Twilight and her friends. "Alola Hala." Kukui said. "And who are these creatures that you brought in?" Hala asked. "This is Twilight Sparkle and her friends from another world. They have come here to start their adventure here in Alola." Kukui said. "Well, its nice to meet you all." Hala said. But before Hala can shake their hooves he saw something sparkling inside Twilight's saddlebag. "Hey Twilight, what's that in your bag." Hala asked. Twilight used her magic to bring out the bracelet and when she showed it to Hala he was surprised. "Isn't that a Z-ring?" Hala asked. "Z-ring? So that's what this is called?" Twilight said. So Hala explained to them what Z-rings do and the Z-crystals. "Where did you guys get those Z-rings?" Hala asked. "Tapu Koko gave them to us." Pinkie said. "Tapu Koko?" Hala said Then Twilight explained how she, Ash and their friends heard its voice and when they followed it it gave them all Z-rings with different Z-crystals on them. "Interesting." Hala said. Then he remembered why they are here: to get their first Pokémon. When Hala looked at their Z-crystals he thought on what Pokémon he should give them and then he decided. He went into his house and after a few minutes he brought out 7 pokeballs 1 for each of Twilight's friends. "Go ahead, see what Pokémon I gave you. So they threw their pokeballs and out came their Pokémon. Twilight has gotten a Beldum, Rainbow Dash has gotten a Hawlucha, Pinkie Pie has gotten a Cutiefly, Rarity has gotten a Popplio, Applejack has gotten a Tyrunt. Fluttershy has gotten a Fomantis and Spike has gotten a Bagon. Everypony is excited about their own Pokémon, but Applejack seems confused about her Pokémon. "What's the matter Applejack? You don't like your Pokémon?" Kukui said. "No, don't get me wrong Professor. I do like my Pokémon, but I was curious about where my Pokémon came from ." Applejack said. "Well, I can tell you about your Pokémon." Kukui said. Then Kukui told Applejack that Tyrunt came from a fossil that came from the ancient past and when Applejack heard about that she was amazed. That evening when they were having a meal at the Professor's lab the Professor got a phone call from the students at the Pokémon school. The next morning they challenged Ash and his friends to some challenges at the school and when the Professor started to start his surprise for Ash and his pony friends Tapu Koko appeared and took Ash's hat and it led them all to the forest where it challenged Ash to a battle. "All right, you've got a deal. Let's have a battle now!" Ash said. So with that said Tapu Koko used some mysterious powers to coat the field with electricity. "That's Electric Terrain." Kukui said. When the battle is reaching halfway point Tapu Koko flew towards Ash and touched the Z-crystal on his Z-ring and it started to glow. "You mean... you want me to use it?" Ash said. So after some poses led by Tapu Koko, Pikachu used the z-move Gigavolt havoc and after it hit the island guardian the Z-crystal disappeared. The ponies and the students were surprised at what Ash did and so Ash decides to take the Island Challenge and his pony friends joined him into collecting more Z-crystals and use Z-moves the right way. "That makes sense." Kukui said. "We'll be cheering for you all." Mallow said. The next morning at the airport the members of Team Rocket have arrived in search for new Pokémon to join their team. Meanwhile with Ash and his pony friends, they have received a strange pokedex from Kukui at the lab. "Now... let's activate the pokedex." Kukui said. When they went downstairs the professor used his computer to connect to the pokedex and once they are all connected the lights started to flicker. They all were confused at what 's going on. "Here it comes." Kukui said. "W-what's going on?" Fluttershy said nervously. "Just watch and you'll see." Kukui said. Then suddenly an orange Pokémon came out of the socket and surprised everyone. "What's that?!" Rainbow Dash said. "It's a Rotom!" Ash said. "Now we just have to wait for Rotom to go inside." Kukui said "Wait inside... the pokedex?" Spike said. Then suddenly Rotom went inside the pokedex that Ash was holding and everyone except Kukui was surprised. Then the pokedex turned on with Rotom inside of it and they were surprised to see that Rotom is the pokedex. "LANGUAGE SELECTION COMPLETE." Rotom said. "Wow Rotom just talked!" Ash said. "Rotom give Ash and his pony friends a helping hand for now on would you?" Kukui asked. "UNDERSTOOD." Rotom said. So they took the Rotom dex to the school where everyone introduced themselves and Rotom decides to help Ash look for new Pokémon to catch. Meanwhile with Team Rocket they were also looking for new Pokémon when they saw a Pokémon that looked like a Pikachu, but when they were going to battle with it they heard some noises coming from the other side of the forest so they hid behind some bushes and they saw Ash and his new friends. When they saw the Pokémon that Team Rocket saw first Lillie said that it is a Mimikyu so Ash decides to battle with it but, halfway through the battle Team Rocket came out from their hiding place and introduced themselves and told the that they are an evil organization. "I've never heard of them." Lillie said. "Not me." Kiawe said. "Neither have us." Twilight said. "They're bad guys who steal other peoples Pokémon." Ash said. " If they steal Pokémon then they are thieves." Sophocles said. Just as Meowth started to attack Pikachu Mimikyu attacked Pikachu first. Meowth thanked Mimikyu but Meowth also said that Mimikyu hates Pikachu. But just as Mimikyu started to attack Pikachu again a big Pokémon just grabbed Jessie and James from behind and took them away. "Hey big guy, where are you taking my friends?" Meowth said. Rotom said that that Pokémon is a Beware and it is very strong and dangerous. So with Team Rocket gone they decided to look for another Pokémon that Ash wants to join his team. > Twilight finds a mega stone in Alola > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's another day in the Alola region Twilight and her friends were looking for new Pokémon to add to their teams just like what Ash did when he caught Rowlet. When Twilight was looking she saw something sparkle in the bushes. "What is it darling?" Rarity said. "I saw something sparkle over there." Twilight said as she pointed her hoof at the bushes. "Why don't you go and check it out?" Spike said. So Twilight carefully walked over to that thing that was sparkling and when she got closer she saw a strange brown marble thing. So she picked it up with her magic and took it back to her friends. "What is that thing partner?" Applejack said. "I think it's a strange marble, but I can feel energy coming from it." Twilight said. "Let's take it back to the professor and see what it is." Pinkie said. So they went back to the professor's lab and showed Kukui what Twilight found and Kukui was shocked to see what it is. "*Gasp* It's a mega stone!" Kukui said. "What's a mega stone?" Spike said. Soon Kukui told them about how some Pokémon can evolve further by mega evolving them and how it's a temporary evolution. And after that was said Kukui decided to take Twilight and her friends on a trip to the Kalos region to learn more about mega evolution and when they told Ash and his friends that they were going to another region they wished them good luck. Tomorrow they arrived in the Kalos region they went to professor Sycamore's lab to see what mega stone did Twilight find and after a few minutes of research professor Sycamore came toward Twilight and her friends. "Well I've figured it out on what mega stone this belongs to." Sycamore said. "What Pokémon does that stone belong too?" Rainbow said. "It belongs to Lopunny and this mega stone is called Lopunnite." Sycamore said. "So if Twilight found it does that mean it's hers?" Rarity said. "That's right, but it's rare to find a mega stone in Alola." Sycamore said. "Well, lucky you Twilight!" Spike said. "But to mega evolve Lopunny you need to find and catch a wild Buneary and evolve it and you also need two more things." Sycamore said. "What's that?" Twilight said. "You need a key stone and a strong bond between you and your Pokémon." Sycamore said. "Where can Twilight find a Buneary?" Pinkie said. "You can find one in Alola." Kukui said. "And as for the key stone I have one right here." Sycamore said as he pulled a key stone from his coat pocket and gave it to Twilight. "Thanks professor." Twilight said. So they got back on the plane heading back to the Alola region and when they got back Twilight and her friends started their search for a Buneary. Not knowing to them a certain Pokémon was watching them walk past and it was curious as to what kind of trainers they were so it walked over but the rustling sounds from the bushes made the ponies turned their heads to see what Pokémon was hiding in those bushes. "Um... mind if I took care of this?" Fluttershy said. "Sure, go right ahead Fluttershy." Twilight said. So Fluttershy carefully flew over to the bushes and when she peeked inside the bushes she saw the Pokémon that Twilight needed: A Buneary. "Oh, hello there." Fluttershy said. After a few minutes of talking to the Pokémon she asked it to come out and when it did with Fluttershy everypony was surprised. "*gasp* It's the Buneary I've been looking for!" Twilight said. "Why don't you battle with this Pokémon and try to catch it darling?" Rarity said. "I guess so Rarity." Twilight said as she brought out her Beldum. After a few minutes of battling the Buneary was defeated and Twilight threw one of her empty pokeballs at the Pokémon and after a few shakes it was captured. "Yes, I caught a Buneary!" Twilight said excitedly. When they were walking back to the Pokémon school they heard another sound coming from the town and when they went over to the town they saw another portal opened up like the one that Princess Celestia and Luna made and out come somepony that Twilight knows from the alternate world: Sunset Shimmer. Twilight was surprised to see her old friend again. "Sunset!" Twilight said as she ran over to see her old friend. "*gasp* Twilight!" Sunset said the same as she ran over too. They soon hugged each other and the other ponies came over to see her as well. "What are you doing here Sunset and... why are you in your human form?" Twilight asked. "Well I was coming through the portal to see you again but you weren't there and that was when I saw Princess Celestia." Sunset said. "Wait... Princess Celestia came to see you?" Twilight said. "Yes, she told me where you and your friends were and so I wanted to join you and your friends on your journey in this region and so when I was going to step in I was turning back into a human like what you did when you came back to the alternate world." Sunset said. But before Sunset can say more they heard some motorcycles coming their way and Twilight knows those three guys on them: It was Team Skull. "Well if it isn't the ponies from another world." Said the first team skull grunt. "Twilight, who are those guys?" Sunset said. "They're part of Team Skull. Always bullying others into a Pokémon battle." Twilight said to Sunset. And so after some talking they challenged Twilight to a Pokémon battle and after the first Team skull grunt brought out his Salandit Twilight brought out her new Pokémon: Buneary. After a few minutes of battling the member of team skull was no match for Twilight's smart thinking and clever battling skills the Salandit was defeated causing them to retreat. "Twilight that was awesome!" Rainbow said. "And I agreed." Sunset said. With the sun going down they decided to head back to the professor's lab and introduced Sunset to Ash and Kukui and after some talking they decided to let Sunset join Twilight and her friends on their journey. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was another wonderful day in the Alola Region for Ash, Pikachu, the ponies, Spike and Sunset Shimmer. They were headed to the Pokémon School but first they went to see Kahuna Hala so that he can give Sunset her first Pokémon. Sunset was excited to see what Pokémon that she will get. When they have arrived at the town Hala was waiting for them. "Welcome back ponies." Said Kahuna Hala. "And I see that you have brought a new friend with you." "New to you maybe but, she is an old friend to us. Meet Sunset Shimmer a friend of mine from an alternate world of our world." Twilight said. "Nice to meet you Sunset." Hala said as he walked over to her. "Nice to meet you too Hala." Sunset said. After they talked for a little bit Hala went inside to give Sunset her own Pokémon and a Z-ring. After a few minutes of waiting Hala came back out with a Pokeball and a Z-ring with a Z-crystal with a snowflake on it. "Go ahead Sunset, see what I've gave you." Hala said. So Sunset threw her pokeball forward and out came a water and ice type Pokémon. "What is it?" Sunset asked. Hala explained to her that it is a Lapras. It is a Pokémon that can travel across water and is also good at battling. When Sunset took a look at the Pokémon's eyes she saw that the Pokémon eyes were twinkling and soon she felt a strong bond between her and her Pokémon and soon she decided to keep it. When they got to the Pokémon School Kukui told the students the theme of tomorrow's assignment: getting to know water Pokémon. "We're heading out to sea!" Kukui said. "Out to sea sounds awesome!" Ash said. "Oh, I hope I can catch a cute water type Pokémon." Fluttershy said. "Well, I hope that I can catch a cool Pokémon." Rainbow Dash said. "Now your trump card for catching and befriending water type Pokémon is... a fishing pole!" Kukui said. But little did they know is that Team Rocket was spying on them ready to pull a sneaky trick for when tomorrow comes. When school was over Ash and his friends went to see Lana to see if they got fishing poles that they can borrow and she got a whole collection of fishing poles. When tomorrow came they went onto Wailmers and Lapras's and they took them out to sea. After a few minutes of waiting Fluttershy got a bite so she reeled it in quick and out comes a Chinchou and Fluttershy was surprised to see a cute water Pokémon. "Aww what a cute Pokémon." Fluttershy said. "But what is it?" "Please leave that to me." The Rotom dex said. After the Pokedex entry for Chinchou, Fluttershy decides to catch it but after a few shakes she almost caught it and it swam back into the water. Fluttershy was feeling down about how it escaped. Twilight flew over to Fluttershy and said "Don't worry Fluttershy, you can get it next time." "Yeah, don't get down darling." Rarity said. But then after they're done with their fishing trip Team Rocket swooped in and took all of the Wailmers and Lapras's that they all have including Sunset's Lapras. Sunset was surprised at Team Rocket on how they took her Lapras and shouted "How dare you took my Lapras!" But Ash's Pikachu and Lana's Popplio helped free the Pokémon and saved them from being hit by the rocks. Sunset's Lapras swam right over to her and Sunset is so happy to have her partner back and now she is ready to fight back. So Jessie brought out her Mimikyu and used shadow ball on Pikachu but, Popplio used a water balloon to hit the shadow ball back at them. Ash's Rowlet and Sunset's Lapras attacked the hot air balloon by using leafage and ice shard. As they fell down the Beware that took them before ran across the water and grabbed them and ran back. After they were done taking care of business they went back to the school and they told Kukui about their adventure on the water and Twilight was pleased at Sunset at how well she battled Team Rocket. So Ash and his friends went back to their homes and the ponies, Spike, and Sunset were talking about what they will encounter tomorrow. > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While Ash and his new friends were enjoying their time in the Alola region Ash caught another Pokémon called a Litten while Fluttershy was still searching for the Chinchou she saw yesterday but she still did not caught it. As for Twilight, Spike and Sunset they were searching for some new Pokémon with the Rotom Dex while Ash and the other ponies were at the Pokémon School when they saw a tail moving around in the tall grass. "Can you identify what Pokémon is there Rotom?" Sunset said. "Sure thing Sunset." The Rotom Dex said. After scanning it's tail the Rotom Dex said that it is a Growlithe which is a fire type, but just as Sunset was about to catch it a boy stopped her. "STOP!" said the boy. "This Growlithe is my Pokémon. "Oh..." Sunset said. "I'm sorry I thought it was a wild Pokémon." "That's okay." said the boy. But the Rotom Dex showed her where to find more Growlithes living in the wild. "Lead the way Rotom." Sunset said. As they were walking Twilight was thinking about something and Spike realized it. "Twilight, what are you thinking about?" Spike said. Twilight looked at her assistant and said " Well I was thinking about the mega stone that we found on the day that Sunset came here." "And what about it?" Spike said. "Well, Z moves are a special thing in Alola but I was thinking about being a mega evolution master instead." Twilight said "Well we'll see what the Professor said." Spike said. "We're here." The Rotom Dex said. Sunset looked around and said "Is this where I can catch a Growlithe Rotom?" "Of course Sunset and I can detect one is coming this way right now." Rotom said. And Rotom was right a Growlithe came out of the bushes looking for an opponent to battle against it. So Sunset brought out her Lapras and after some super effective water type moves the Growlithe was down and soon Sunset threw her poke ball at the Pokémon and after a couple of shakes she caught it. When they went back to the entrance of the Pokémon School the three of them saw their friends coming toward them and also the Professor came toward them as well. "Professor, can I ask you something?" Twilight said. Kukui smiled at her and said "Sure Twilight. What do you want to talk to me about?" As they walked back to the lab Twilight told Kukui about letting her become a mega evolution master instead of using Z moves. "Sure, you can use mega evolution here in the Alola region as well." Kukui said. When Twilight heard that she was happy and thanked the Professor. But she said "Where can I learn about which Pokémon can mega evolve?" "I was hoping you would say that." Kukui said. So he went over to the bookshelf and grabbed a book from one of the shelves and gave it to Twilight and said "It's a book about which Pokémon can mega evolve and which mega stones you need." "Thanks Professor." Twilight said. A couple of days later Ash told Kukui about trying out those Z moves again by going through the Island Challenge. But later that morning a group of alolan Rattata and Raticate were eating all of the food from the garden and from the store so Ash, Twilight and Rainbow Dash decided to help but Hala only needed one person to help so Ash decided to help. Twilight was okay with that but Rainbow Dash was upset. "Don't worry Rainbow you, Twilight and your friends shall watch the trial at the cave and then after we clear all the Rattata and the Raticate it will be your turn to do the trial, okay?" Kahuna Hala said. Rainbow sighed and said "Okay." Soon they all went to the cave to watch Ash do his trial and it was bigger than they thought. "Totem Pokémon Gumshoos! You have a trial goer do your duty and grant him his trial." Hala said. After Ash introduced himself Pikachu and the Rotom dex heard some movement coming toward him and there comes a Yungoos and a regular Gumshoos. "Are they Totem Pokémon?" Ash asked Hala. "No Ash they are not. They are the Totem Pokémon's allies. You will still have to battle them however." Hala said. After the pokedex entries of both Yungoos and Gumshoos Ash decides to bring out both Pikachu and Rowlet. When the battle begins the two normal types used sand attack to hide and then attacked both Pikachu and Rowlet then before their second attack Pikachu and Rowlet both dodged it and Rowlet used leafage so that it and Pikachu can hide as well. Then Pikachu used Iron tail and Rowlet used Tackle and soon they were both defeated but then a huge Gumshoos came out. "There, that Gumshoos is definitely a totem sized Pokémon!" Hala said. Ash was surprised and said "It's... so big!" "Unreal! This one is 3 times the size of the previous Gumshoos!" Rotom dex said. Both Pikachu and Rowlet were having a tough time and Rowlet got defeated when it got Pikachu out of a jam. Now it's down to Pikachu and Totem Gumshoos. Pikachu used its best moves but Gumshoos used some tricks by using sand attack to knock away the electro ball and then using rock throw when Pikachu's back was turned. Then when Pikachu used quick attack and Ash told Pikachu to use the sand attack to hide itself and then it attacked Gumshoos with multiple attacks and finished it off with thunderbolt and soon Gumshoos was defeated. "This trial is over. I declare the victor to Ash." Hala said When Totem Gumshoos got up it gave Ash a Z crystal and soon when Ash asked the 3 normal types to get rid of all the Rattata and Raticate they all agreed. When they have arrived at the store Kukui and officer Jenny opened up the doors and soon the normal types took care of all of the Rattata and Raticate and they all ran off somewhere. Soon tomorrow will be the ponies turn to face Totem Gumshoos and Ash will face his grand trial which will be a battle against Hala. > Twilight's first grand trial > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the day after Twilight and her friends (except Fluttershy) completed their trial in Verdant Cavern, Ash and his friends were ready for Hala's grand trial which is a battle. Ash decided to let Princess Twilight Sparkle battle first so that she can experience her first battle against someone. Before the battle begins Rainbow Dash looked around and saw that Fluttershy is not here. "Hey, where's Fluttershy?" Rainbow said. "She is still trying to catch that Chinchou she saw." Rotom said. Sunset sighed and said "I hope that she can catch it this time." "I hope so too darling." Rarity said. Before they could say more Kukui called Twilight up. "Twilight, are you ready?" Kukui said. Twilight sighed and said "Ready as I'll ever be." And soon her battle against kahuna Hala begins. Kukui stepped forward and said "Attention competitors, the grand trial between kahuna Hala and Princess Twilight Sparkle will now get underway. Each side will have the use of 2 Pokémon and the battle will be over when either sides Pokémon are unable to battle." "It's truly an honor to battle you." Both Hala and Twilight said. "Now please bring out your Pokémon." Kukui said. "Buneary, let's go!" Twilight said as she used her magic to throw her pokeball and out comes her Buneary. "Crabrawler, come out!" Hala said as he also threw his pokeball and out comes a new Pokémon that they have never seen before. "Crabrawler?" Ash said with a confused look on his face. "That Pokémon looks awesome!" Rainbow Dash said. "But what is Crabrawler?" Applejack said. "Rotom partner?" "My greatest pleasure!" Rotom said. After Crabrawler's pokedex entry Rotom also said that Buneary is at a disadvantage against fighting types because it is a normal type. When Twilight heard that she said to the group "I'll just have to give it all I got everypony." "All right, battle begin!" Kukui said. "Crabrawler use bubblebeam!" Hala said as his Pokémon shoots bubbles from its claws heading towards Twilight's Buneary. "Buneary, dodge it then use quick attack!" Twilight said to her Pokémon. Buneary surrounded itself in a white light and moves at a fast pace and it hit Crabrawler. "Yes!" Shouted Twilight. "That was a direct hit!" Rotom said. "Very nice Twilight. But how about this? Crabrawler grab Buneary and use brutal swing!" Hala said. Just as when Crabrawler was about to grab Buneary Twilight said "Well how about this move? Buneary use double team!" Then Buneary created copies of itself and surrounded the fighting type Pokémon. Crabrawler is confused to find the real Buneary. "Good, now use swift!" Twilight said. Then the Buneary's launched star-shaped projectiles and Crabrawler took damage from that. "That was awesome thinking Twilight!" Rainbow said. "Thanks, but it's not over yet." Twilight said. "Indeed." Hala said. "Use Power-up punch!" One of Crabrawler's fists got surrounded in an orange aura and is ready to punch Buneary but Twilight's Buneary countered it with pound but the power-up punch was too powerful and it hit Buneary and also it's attack power went up. "Buneary, are you okay?" Twilight said. Soon Buneary got up and shook off the attack. "Now use power-up punch again!" Hala said as Crabrawler charged again. "Not falling for that one again! Buneary use pound rapidly!" Twilight said. Both Pokémon are fighting off the attacks but thanks to Twilight's smart thinking Buneary used double team again and used quick attack to finally defeat Crabrawler. "Crabrawler is unable to battle!" Kukui said. Hala returned Crabrawler to it's pokeball and said "You did your best." Then Twilight returned her Pokémon to it's pokeball and brought out her next Pokémon: Beldum. And Hala called his next Pokémon: Hariyama. When the second part of the battle begins Twilight tried her best to use several take downs attacks but, Hariyama took little damage and soon after several attacks from Hariyama, Twilight's Beldum was defeated. "Beldum is unable to battle!" Kukui said. Twilight returned Beldum to it's pokeball and said "You did your best too." Then Twilight brought back out her Buneary which was a little tired. Pinkie Pie who looked nervous said to the group "I'd wondered how Twilight and her Buneary will be able to defeat that big Pokémon." Sunset looked down at her and said "Don't worry Pinkie I'm sure Twilight will find a way." After a few minutes of battling Hala used his own Z move to finish off Buneary. "Is that a Z move?!" Twilight said. "Correct!" Hala said. "I am the kahuna. I make the wills of myself, Melemele, and Tapu Koko as one. I am the kahuna! This is the moment where our strengths combine into one!" "Here it comes." Kukui said. "Get ready Buneary!" Twilight said. "All-out pummeling! Let's go!" Hala shouted. As Hariyama used it's Z move Twilight's Buneary used quick attack and double team to get past the Z move attack. After the attack Buneary was nowhere in sight. "Where did it go?" Rainbow said. "I know where it is!" Pinkie said. "It went underground!" "Underground?" Spike said. "But that means..." Ash said. "Right." Rotom said. "It learned dig." Then suddenly it attacked Hariyama when it came up from the ground. "Good job Buneary!" Twilight said. "Now let's finish this off with our Z move!" After some poses it unleashed the normal type Z move called breakneck blitz and after some serious damage Hariyama was defeated. "Hariyama is unable to battle!" Kukui said. "Which means the victor is Twilight!" Ash, the ponies, Spike and Sunset came up to congratulate Twilight for her battling skills. Then Fluttershy came flying towards the group. "Girls, I've finally caught it!" Fluttershy excitedly said. But the others were so excited to see Twilight win the battle that they didn't see Fluttershy. "Oh... Fluttershy. Sorry we didn't see you." Twilight said. "That's okay Twilight." Fluttershy said. "So what did I miss? "You missed Twilight's amazing battle against Hala and she won!" Rainbow Dash said. "Well congrats Twilight." Fluttershy said. Then she remembered what she was going to say to her friends. "Oh, guys I've caught it." Fluttershy said as she threw her pokeball into the air and out comes a Chinchou. Sunset was surprised and said "Wow you finally caught it!" Then Hala walked forward toward the group and said "Sorry to interrupt but I need to see Twilight." Then Twilight walked toward Hala and he said "That was a great battle we had and I think this belongs to you." Hala was holding an orange Z crystal and he gave it to Twilight and told Twilight that it is the fighting type Z crystal. "Thanks Hala." Twilight said. After Twilight's tough battle against Hala she won her next Z crystal but she still wants to become a mega evolution master. After Hala gets his Pokémon healed up it was Ash's turn to face Hala. But an even greater challenge was waiting for Ash, Twilight and their friends.
