[IC] Pokémon Alola

[bowtiesrcool86]

Hala approached the heroes.
"Alola everyone." He greeted with a smile. "Did everyone manage to get the stone?" He noticed the Z-Ring that Liam had. "Did Tapu Koko bring this to you?" Hala inquired, already knowing the answer. "He did it again..." He looked off toward Tapu Koko's shrine. He than offered to take the stones and make them into Z-Rings.

Shiranui handed his Sparkling Stone over.

[Azure Flame]

Chuck handed his stone over as well.

Jen is glad that the others had waited for Sashia and her to return before Hala showed up. She have to put down the egg as Maui protects as Jen pulls the sparkling stone from her bag. She hands it to Hala then picks up the egg as she pets Maui.

Sashia watched them hand over their stones to Hala as she looked at her own Z-ring with a smile and another tear before she quickly wipe it away before anyone could see.
Sashia looked over the group as she was surprised how quickly she had gravitated to Jen above all others, maybe because the two of them were the only girls in a large group of boyd or maybe she felt like she should help and mentor Jen. Sashia shook her head, maybe she'll figure it out eventually though known Hala power she reckoned when Jen Riolu hatched and she had beaten Hala for the fightinum z. That Riolu was going to have a powerful Z move at her disposal.
Still she nodded to herself and said "Alright you guys, While Kahuna Hala works on your Z rings in Iki town, we should make a move there ourselves and get in some more training cause Kahuna are not pushovers well unless you want to go easy Liam and Shinranui using your Mewtwo and Dragonite though I would advise battling without them if you really want to prove to not only Hala but Tapu Koko that you both respect and understand our traditions here."

Liam told Sashia that he wasn't planning on using Dragonite for the battle. He decided to go out and do some training to prep for the battle.

[Alisdragon911]

Maui notices Sashia’s moods change from sad to happy again, he tilts his head as he wonders about something. “Come on Maui, we have to prepare for our battle against Hala.” Jen says as Maui barks as they went out to train with her Pokémon.

Liam told Sashia that he wasn't planning on using Dragonite for the battle. He decided to go out and do some training to prep for the battle.

Shiranui added that he never planned on using Saisei for a Grand Trial.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam did some training and returned to heal up his Pokémon so that he'd be ready for the Grand Trial.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Sashia told them she would meet them in Iki town as she had some stuff she needed to do but she would defiantly be there to watch all their grand trials against Hala. So she used the Charizard page to travel to poni island to visit her grandparents.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen did some training as she comes back to heal her Pokémon before the Grand trial. She touches the egg to make sure it is okay in her bag. When she touches the egg she sees a shape of a tree.

Hala returned after a bit and handed out the Z-Rings. He than told them they need to, as tradition states, vist Tapu Koko's Shrine and prey before they have the battles.

[James Davy]

"I understand, Hala," Shiranui replied after receiving his Z-Ring. He was no stranger to following traditions having grown up in a place steeped in Far Eastern culture and briefly considered the notion of bringing along the Pokémon that inspired him to go on his journey. He spotted a circular recess on his Z-Ring that would hold a Key Stone at the opposite point of where the active Z-Crystal would go and felt glad he wouldn't have to wear both his Mega Ring and his Z-Ring on his journey through Alola and subsequent regions.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Hala told them to follow him and he began to walk toward to shrine.

[Azure Flame]

"Sounds reasonable enough!" Chuck said, following them.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen heard about the traditions of Alola as she puts the z ring on her wrist. As she follows Hala and the others to the shrine. She rubs her other hand over the z ring feeling it as Maui watches her as he walks beside her.

[James Davy]

Shiranui followed Hala and the others.

[Azure Flame]

Chuck swapped his Mega Ring for the Z-Ring, transferring his keystone to the Z-Ring.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Once everyone had arrived at the shrine with Halahe had them follow him and and up to a statue. He got down on his knees in front of it, motioning for the others to do so as well. Once everyone had, He spoke to Tapu Koko, asking it to watch over the Grand Trial Battles. After that, he asked who wanted to go first.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Sashia has met up with everyone once they had got to Iki town and had followed them to the shrine thanking Tapu Koko. Once it was all done and she heard Hala ask them who wanted to start. Sashia had taken her place next to Jen, Elisa sat next to her with her head on her lap to watch the battles as well remember when her and Sashia had first taken on Hala and how difficult the battle was dispute her having the type advantage.
