[Azure Flame]

Chuck continued to make his way through the cave, with Sludge leading the way now, Thunderbolting any Zubats that got near.

Shiranui saw a Deino charging at him. "Bakeru, use Play Rough!" The Mimikyu jumped off of his trainer's shoulder and started roughhousing with the Deino. After the dust settled Bakeru stood tall on a fainted Zorua. "Great job, Bakeru," Shiranui praised, picking up his Mimikyu. He noted to himself to let Liam know that Zorua could be found at Alola.

Liam was using binocularsto keep track of everyone and make sure they did not need help.

Maui whimpers as Jen sits down on a weird statue that have holes in it. She pulls out a bottle of water, a cloth, and a bandage. She heals the scratch on her ankle, she feels the ground shakes. “Kawane, come on out and use thunder.” Jen’s Pichu came out of his pokeball as as a lot of lightning went everywhere. A couple of Sableye and several Golbats are paralyze or Ko.

Thanks to Okami's tracking, Shiranui made it out of the cave. The first of the totem's henchmen jumped out and blocked Shiranui's way. He was face to face with an Alolan Rattata and in response, Shiranui pulled out his Pokédex and scanned it. "Rattata: Alola Form, the Mouse Pokémon. When the sun goes down, it becomes active. It runs around town on a chase for good food for the boss of its nest—Raticate." Okami leaped into action and the battle was on. Through a strategic use of Sand Attack, Rock Throw and Tackle, Okami managed to defeat the Alolan Rattata while avoiding her opponent's attacks.

Jen gives Maui a treat for getting her out of the cave maze as Kawane gets jeoulouses and shocks her. She pets Kawane as he is on her head. Maui barks as he smells Okami and Shiranui scent, “anyone here?” She is wondering if they are still here or they are futher up ahead. Maui sniffs and whines guessing the Pokémon needs to rest before battle them as she and Maui listens to their surroundings.

Shiranui heard Jen's call and gave the Alolan Rattata a Sitrus Berry. The first henchman of the local totem was grateful for the healing berry and scampered off to intercede with Jen.

Okami started growling as she detected a smell of sulphur. "Okami, did you smell our second opponent?" Shiranui asked. His Rockruff pointed like a hunting dog and at that moment a Houndour leapt out and blocked their path. "A Houndour, eh? This will be a cinch for you, Okami," said Shiranui as Okami took a battle position. The battle was a little quicker as Okami scored a critical hit with a Rock Throw and knocked Houndour out.

Shiranui gave Houndour a couple of Sitrus Berries and gave it a "thank you" before moving on.

Sashia nodded to herself as Shinranui got out the cave first and beat the first and second henchmen, though she knew the Alohan Persian and Totom would not go down easy. She remembered Mike telling her once the Totom was beaten it moved to the back of the cave and used it's claws to dig though rock to find the Z-rocks which were then handed to the trainer. The Totom itself was always the one who handed the rock over, it did not use it's comrades.

[Alisdragon911]

Maui nods confirming their friends are up ahead but did not smell Chuck yet. Maui and Jen hears the scurrying of small claws on the rocky ground. A Alolan Rattata appears in front of them and attacks Maui. After attacking with rock throws and bites with using the sharp rocks around his neck to cause doubles the damage. Maui barks as the battle is over, Jen walks over to the Rattata to give it a Sitrus berry to heal it before continue to the next part of the cave.

Shiranui saw a cave entrance ahead, but before he could get to it, an Alolan Persian intercepted him and was poised for a battle. He sent Ikari out and Persian opened with a Fake Out. Ikari flinched, allowing Persian to get in another move. Persian charged in to deliver a Bite, but Ikari was charging straight at Persian with her head lowered. The shiny Bagon was using Headbutt and when their attacks connected, Ikari struck Persian right in the mouth while getting bitten at the same time. Needless to say, Ikari's move dealt a critical blow and thanks to her Sheer Force ability, the Persian was knocked out in one hit.

Shiranui gave Persian a Sitrus Berry and stuck around patiently while Persian carefully ate the berry due to its mouth still hurting. "You should lay off the Bite attacks until your mouth feels better," he advised. Persian reluctantly agreed and left to wait in ambush for the next trainer while Shiranui went on to the cave where he figured the local totem Pokémon waited.

[Azure Flame]

Chuck soon found his way blocked by an Alolan Rattata. Chuck was about to send out Ariel, but Sludge jumped down from his head to face the little rat. "You sure you wanna face him Sludge?" he asked, and the Grimer nodded. Chuck looked up some moves on his Pokedex and said "Alright, Sludge use Powerup Punch!" The Grimer rushed at the Rattata and socked it in the face, knocking it back and raising Grimer's physical attack. The Rattata retaliated with a bite, but Sludge retaliated with a Payback, knocking it back against the wall and KOing it, allowing Chuck to move on.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen and Maui walks into the next chamber of the cave. They smell something had die here awhile ago. She notices something is wrong, “Maui use Toxic.” Maui spews out purple gas from his mouth at the Houndour as Maui and the Houndour are both poison. The poison smog starts to clear as the Houndour plays rough as Maui use rock throw knocking out the the Houndour. Jen leaves some berries for the Houndour and leaves quickly to not enhale any more poison.

[James Davy]

Shiranui entered the next cave and found a cavern where a large Alolan Raticate stood its ground with an Alolan Rattata at its side. "Ashika, I choose you!" He sent his Popplio out and the battle was on. "Ashika, start with Icy Wind!" Rattata opened with a Quick Attack, blindsiding Ashika and Raticate started with Focus Energy, improving its odds of a critical hit. Ashika blew a gust of frigid air that dealt a lot of damage to Rattata and a decent amount to Raticate whilst slowing them down. "Ashika, use Disarming Voice!" The loss of speed was enough for Ashika to get her move in first. The Popplio let out a charming cry that did emotional damage to her opponents. Rattata was knocked out and Raticate suffered major damage. Raticate charged at Ashika with its fangs ready for a Bite attack and bit down on Ashika's tail for a decent amount of damage.

Raticate called for help and a second Alolan Rattata showed up. "Note to self: take out the Totem Pokémon first," said Shiranui to himself, "Ashika, Disarming Voice once more!" Rattata used Pursuit and left Ashika on her last legs so to speak. The Popplio got up and let off a bright glow, growing in size. The glow subsided to reveal a Brionne and Shiranui scanned his new-look friend. "Brionne, the Pop Star Pokémon and the evolved form of Popplio. It cares deeply for its companions. When its Trainer is feeling down, it performs a cheery dance to try and help." Ashika let off a cry more dulcet than before and both opponents were knocked out.

Shiranui gave the three KO'd Pokémon a Sitrus Berry each and the first Rattata scampered off to rest up and the second Rattata and Totem Raticate both went off to get something. After a while, the Alolan Rattata that joined the battle returned with a Lycanium Z and the Totem Alolan Raticate returned with a gunmetal grey Sparkling Stone. Shiranui received these items and bode the two Dark types a parting Alola.

On his way back to the entrance, Shiranui pondered on why his new Z Crystal was shaped differently to the few others he had seen.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam had seen from his vantage point that Shiranui had exited the cave with the Z-Ring.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen walks into the cave as Maui looks up at the Persian who is relaxing on a boulder. The Persian taunts Maui as Maui barks at the Persian, “Rock Tomb,” Jen says as Maui moves the boulder as the Persian jumps down to the floor as Maui faints from the poison. “Return Maui, good job. Kawane, it’s your turn.” Kawane the Pichu jumps downe from Jen’s hat. “Quick Attack,” Jen says as Kawane moves quickly to attack the Persian as the Persian use fury swipes to counter.

“Kawane use thunder shock,” Jen says as Kawane shocks Persian as the Persian slashes Kawane with its claws. Both takes on damages, “Kawane use thunder.” Jen says as she sneeze, Kawane releases a strong blast of lightning at the Persian as the Persian use Night Slash. They were both standing face to face as Persian is paralyze as Pichu use quick attack to knock out the Persian. Jen leaves a couple of berries and sticks around for a bit to see the Persian is okay.

[James Davy]

With Okami's help, Shiranui made his way back out of the trial site; all the while musing over how he would get his Sparkling Stone converted into a Z-Ring and thinking about doing some research on Z-Moves once he gets to a Pokémon Centre.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen follows Pichu hearing his sounds as they are standing in front of the last cave. She heals her Pokémon as Maui pops out of his pokeballas Kawane jumps onto her shoulder then jumps onto her hat. Maui walks into the cave with Jen, Maui nudge her to come on. Jen waits as she hears scurrying claws and could tell it is a bit bigger than a Rattata as Maui growls. A Raticate sneaks out of the shadows and use bites Maui hard. “Sand attack,” Jen says as Maui summons sand to shake the Raticate off of him.

The Raticate schreeches as two more Rattatas slinks out the shadows as they crunch down onto Maui with their fangs. The Raticate super punches Maui as Maui hits the ground with the two Rattatas on top of him. A white glow surrounds Maui as he evolves into Lycanroc as he stabs a Rattata with his sharp rocks in his mane. He slashes the other Rattata with his fangs and claws.

Her Rotomdex pops out of her bag, Lycanroc a rock type Pokémon this Pokémon may leave to seek independence. If the Rockruff is raise right it be loyal to its trainer it is a bit aggressive in battle, that is for the Midnight form. Maui looks at as the Raticate use poison fang as Maui use Rock tomb to hit the Raticate with a boulder. The Raticate is knock out. Jen leaves some berries for them as one of the Rattata and the Raticate scurryes off to bring back a Lycanium z and a pink sparkling stone. Jen and Maui leaves the cave as the Tomo Raticate and Rattata waving good bye as they squeak Alola.

[Azure Flame]

Chuck continued on with Sludge in tow until he came across a Houndour. Sending out Ariel, the Popplio made quick work of it with both Water Gun and Disarming Voice. Next up was the Alolan Persian, who was taken down with another Disarming Voice. The Totem Alolan Raticate, on the other hand, was a little tougher to put down, as it called a couple of Alolan Rattatas to aid it, but in the end they all fell before Chuck and his Pokémon. Chuck was soon seen exiting the caves with a Shiny Stone and a Primarinaium Z.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Looks like they have both gotten it now." Liam said to himself when he saw Chuck exiting the cave.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

The three of them would hear Sashia clapping her hands as she said "Congratulation everyone, you've passed the Z ring test and even obtained some Z crystals of your own"
Once everyone was together, Sashia smiled at Shinranui and Jen before she said "Ok, you two watch me. This is the Z-Dance for your Lycanrokium Z to unleash it's exclusive Z move". Sashia then showed them the move though she did go one better and give them both a TM for stone edge. "Lycanroc will need to know this move to use it's power" She said to them with a smile.
