Starry's Sunny Adventure! Epic 05

Epic 5:
Adventures in Akala Island

So the ship has arrived at Akala Island, with Hau exclaiming “Land ahoy!” Yep, Haruto, Hau, Lillie, Nebby and also Prof. Kukui have arrived there, in Heahea City. On the moment they arrive, Olivia the Kahuna and Mallow the trial captain come along, asking if they’re alright and all. Lillie was concerned with Nebby’s safety when seeing them until Prof. Kukui assures her that they have a good heart. Mallow is excited seeing two trial-goers Haruto and Hau, and she can’t wait seeing them attend the trial.

After the conversation ended, Lillie told Haruto that she and Nebby will go to a ruin in Akala Island because Nebby wants to visit it, but before that she has to attend an important meeting in Tide Song Hotel. And then Lillie asked Nebby to hide in the bag again. Initially it refuses, but Lillie shows her grumpy face until finally Nebby started to obey her again and enter her bag again. Then Lillie reminded Haruto to keep the secret from some nasty gangs like Team Skull again, before she leaves.

So Haruto decided to go to the hotel, and on his way, he met with two certain trainers called Dexio and Sina. Sina asked Dexio to battle him, but Haruto won against him. And then they gave Haruto the Zygarde Cube, which can collect every Zygarde Cell and Cores around Alola region, before bidding farewell. Afterwards, Haruto enters inside the hotel, and Lille told him that he can proceed to the trials as Lillie stays in the hotel for a while.

So then, Haruto decided to have some catching spree once again, including several Eevees. However, he was unsure if he will put them on the team yet, so he put them on the box first. And then, Haruto caught a Lillipup named Giver which he put in the party, but not before complimenting Buttercup for all its hard work as he put it on the box. So he started to train his Pokémon, including Makit from earlier and also Peeko among others. At this point Puka and Chuchu evolved to become Pikachu, meanwhile Munchy's evolved to Snorlax as well.

When he enters Paniola Town, he have a rematch with Hau there. So then, he visits the ranch where he got Stoutland to become one of his Pokéride. Besides of that, he also managed to calm down a Tauros which is new in the ranch. Afterwards, Haruto proceeds to Route 5, where he met with Hau which apparently was losing the match against a certain someone with yellowish hair. That guy, introducing himself as Gladion, decided to battle Haruto with his partner named Null. Null was tough, but Haruto managed to make short work of it with Munchy’s and Sparkle once again. Gladion didn’t expected to get defeated by Haruto, but remarks that both Haruto and Hau are good trainers as he prevents the Team Skull grunts from battling them since he have known their strength, so then he took a leave.

After that, Haruto enters Brooklet Hill where he met with Lana, one of the trial captains in Akala Island. She asked Haruto to investigate the splashing in the ocean as part of the trial, and she also gave him Lapras for him to travel on the sea. After several investigations, they find out that the source of all that splashing was a huge Wishiwashi which happens to be a Totem Pokémon as well!

In this match, Haruto managed to send out Puka which have an equal footing with Totem Wishiwashi. The battle was hard, but Puka managed to prevail with many of its Thunder Shock attacks, while Haruto kept recovering it on top shape by using several Potions. But after the match, Puka felt that it was not strong enough, even though it’s glad that it managed to clear the trial along with Haruto. So Lana decided to give Haruto the Waterium Z as the proof of beating the trial, along with her specially-made Fishing Rod.

Afterwards, Puka asked Haruto if it was strong enough given its experience when battling Totem Wishiwashi, but Haruto assures Puka that it’s doing well. It was on that moment when one of Haruto’s friends managed to come. She told him that she saw the battle, and told him that she can train Puka to the point that it will become a Raichu real soon and making sure that Puka will be back again once it’s stronger. So Haruto told Puka to train with his friend first, so they bid farewell, knowing that Puka will be back stronger one day.

Haruto then considers which Pokémon should fill in as the last member of the party, and he thought of the Eevee that he caught earlier. So he asked Veevee, one of the Eevee that he has caught, to fill in as the last roster. On his way to the Royal Avenue, he met with two Sudowoodos which were blocking the road. When Haruto showed them that he has Waterium Z, they ran away, as the boy nearby give thanks that they don’t block the road anymore. Afterwards, he met Hapu who was dealing with these two Team Skull grunts again. So Haruto battled them and won once again. And it’s revealed that Hapu was dealing with them because they were messing with a Drifloon.

Hapu thanks Haruto for helping her, and recommended him to enter the Battle Royal nearby, before taking a leave with her Mudsdale. So Haruto trains his Pokémon much more until he’s satisfied, and at this point Hunny has evolved into a Ribombee! So Haruto proceeds to go to the Battle Royal Dome, where he spotted Gladion going inside. After talking with some people, it’s revealed that Gladion often came to Battle Royal and aces the match because he’s winning many times.

So then, someone has arrived who called himself The Masked Royal, even though Haruto thought he saw Prof. Kukui’s vibe when hearing him speak. So then, The Masked Royal invited Haruto, Hau and also Gladion to have a 4-way match called the Battle Royal. In there, Haruto turns out to be the victorious one thanks to Sparkle. Afterwards, Hau remarks that Battle Royal is fun, while Kiawe asked all of them to bring out the fire on the next trial.

So then, The Masked Royal asked why Gladion wanted to enter, as Gladion answers that he wants to become stronger alongside with Null, before he take a leave, which leaves Hau wondering if Gladion should let out his enjoyment in battles. Afterwards, The Masked Royal encouraged Haruto and Hau to continue on the trial and wishing them a good luck. Before leaving, Haruto finds the same Drifloon from before which belongs to one of the trainers currently visiting Thrifty Megamart, which gives Lemonade as sign of thanks. So then, Haruto decided to go to the trial site in Wela Volcano Park after taking some more training.

So Haruto has arrived there, and Kiawe asked him to tell the differences of the trio of dancing Alolan Marowaks. Haruto feels having fun seeing these trio Marowaks dancing, and yet he can tell the differences in the first round. On the second round, a hiker named David joined the fun and battled Haruto in the process. And on the third round, Haruto battles with a Totem Pokémon named Salazzle. After the training Haruto had put on, Sparkle managed to defeat Totem Salazzle with a single hit thanks to Hydro Vortex powered by the Z-Crystal, so Haruto managed to get a Firium Z in the process, and he’s able to call on Charizard to take flight everywhere, including Poke Pélago as well!

And then, he proceeds to Lush Jungle where he met with Mallow once again. She asked him to gather 4 ingredients: Mago Berry, Tiny Mushroom, Revival Herb and Miracle Seed. So she gave him a Forage Bag to put the ingredients in. In the middle of gathering the herbs, Veevee has finally evolved into Leafeon! After gathering the material, Mallow invited Lana and Kiawe to come in as well.

So Mallow asked Haruto to make the food, and after it’s done, the Totem Lurantis was approaching. At this point Hunny takes its shine as it defeated Totem Lurantis easily in by relying on a single hit of its newly learned move Pollen Puff. After that, Mallow compliments Haruto for defeating it so easily as Lana and Kiawe remarks that Haruto have defeated 2 previous Totem Pokémon before that. So Mallow gives Haruto the Grassium Z as a proof that he cleared the third trial in Akala Island.

So then, Mallow says that Haruto can now face against the Kahuna Olivia in the Grand Trial, before Prof. Kukui coming by and telling Haruto that he can visit Dimension Research Lab, and at this point Haruto still trains his Pokémon and catching some more before going there.
