[IC] Pokémon Alola

[James Davy]

"I'm ready," added Shiranui.

[Azure Flame]

"Me too!" Chuck replied, pumping his fist into the air.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike smiled at their drive remembering what it was like for him when he first did the island trials. He then nodded and said "Alright, follow me to the fire trial guys". He would then lead the group out of the hidden area and back on the road to the wela Volcanio Park.

[kuroku]

In front of the volcano there was rustling and humming could be heard coming from with in the tall yellow grass as a girl's head popped out and looked around. Her head than began diving back down into the grass as the rustling moved about before she said "Keshishishi, seems this is all I can do for now~. This should be enough than before~!" her head popped back out again now looking up at the volcano above with a sickly smug face and bags under her eyes. "I'v been preparing all night for this! and we should be good enough now, today is the day I show him whose the better dancer and trainer all at once~ he may even collapse to an early grave knowing I beat him keshishishi." the head popped back into the grass as the rustling made its way towards the volcano.

Once the heroes got closer to the park, they encountered a Cubone. Liam wanted to battle and catch it, but it was missing its bone. He implied that another Cubone stole it. Cubone pointed to another Cubone who was thrashing around with a pair of bones as if they were drumsticks.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen follows the group to the volcano as she notices a aura of a girl rustling through grass towards the valcano. First they have to help the cubone it bone back. Aura starts to dance to distract the other Cubone with the two bones.

[bowtiesrcool86]

The Cubone stopped what she was doing and looked at Aura. Liam took this as his moment to yank the extra bone away to give to the other Cubone. The first one, upon realizing she was tricked, chucked her original one to use Bonemerang on Liam. Goodra jumped out of his ball and grabbed the bone before it reached his trainer's head and chucked it right back, making it hit the skull Cubone wears. Liam handed the bone to the rightful owner, who then charged the other. During the brawl of the Cubones, both evolved. However, it was not the Marrowak Liam knew.

"Marrowak, Alolan Form. The Bonekeeper Pokémon. A Fire and Ghost-type, and the evolved form of Cubone. The bones it possesses were once its mother’s. Its mother’s regrets have become like a vengeful spirit protecting this Pokémon. When it beats opponents with its bone, the cursed flames spread to them. No amount of water will stop those flames from burning."

The Marrowak began to fight one another even harder after the evolution. The battle ended when the one, whose bone was previously stolen used Bone Rush, KO'ing the other. He did a celebratory dance that had a tribal feel to it. The Marrowak walked over to a small, nearby mound of dirt and quietly murmured about something. It then raised the bone to Liam and made a "come at me" gesture.
"So, Alolan Marrowak is a ghost huh? Well, let's make this a battle of spooks, Bastille it's time to shine!" Liam tossed a Luxury Ball as his shiny Sandygast emerged.
Bastille used Shadow Ball, which Marrowak knocked away in a way reminiscent of a baseball player. Marowak tossed a bone-shaped shadow at Bastille, which seemed to deal a good deal of damage. Liam had no clue what that move was but called for Bastille to use Astonish.
Marrowak retaliated with Brutal Swing, getting another good hit in. Bastille used the moment to quickly fire Shadow Ball. Marrowak took the hit directly. He tried to use Bonemerang next but missed. Bastille used Iron Defense to soften this next blow. Marrowak came charging in very upset. At the last moment, Liam called out for Astonish.
Bastille made Marrowak jump, sending his bine flying into the air, only to fall back down and conk him on the head, disorientating him. Liam tossed a Luxury Ball and the Marrowak was sucked in. The ball began to shake vigorously. After a bit, it stopped and became still.

[James Davy]

Shiranui looked up the move that Marowak had used on his Pokédex. "Shadow Bone, a physical Ghost-type move and a signature move of Marowak: Alola Form. The user attacks by beating the target with a bone that contains a spirit. This may also lower the target's Defense stat."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"That's interesting,' Liam commented.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike had watch all the event unfold and chuckled yo himself as he remembered the countless battles between Pokemon he had seen. "Congrats on the Alohan Marowak Liam, let me off you a piece of advice. Alohan Marowak is a powerful physical attack with good bulk but it shine as a wall".

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Thanks for the tip," Liam said. "That Fireum Z has my name all over it."

[Azure Flame]

"Nice catch!" Chuck said, as he searched around himself. He climbed up on a rock to get a better look, when suddenly the rock moved and revealed itself to be the shell of a Pokemon. Chuck pulled out his Pokedex. Turtonator, the Blast Turtle Pokemon. It lives in volcanoes and eats sulfur and other minerals. Materials from the food it eats form the basis of its explosive shell. "Well, that sounds awesome. Let's go Ariel!" Chuck said, sending out Brionne.

[Alisdragon911]

Aura returns to Jen’s side as Jen pets her as she watch the battle o fold. “Nice catch, Liam.” Jen says as she is happy for him for catching Alohan Marowak, she wish to catch more Pokémon but her party is already full. To what she heard from her friends seem interesting, she is wondering if Chuck made that Turtonator mad by climbing on it. She watch the battle start between Ariel and Turtonator.

[James Davy]

Shiranui noticed a faint sweet aroma and sent Okami out to find the source. Having used Odor Sleuth, Okami tracked down a Salandit that had just defeated a Magby in battle. Feeling plucky, Salandit turned towards Okami and prepared a Dragon Rage. Okami put her superior Speed to work and used Rock Tomb to hurl boulders at Salandit for heavy damage. Salandit executed its Dragon Rage attack and scored a hit on Okami. Shiranui threw a Great Ball at Salandit and the lizard was drawn in. The ball shook three times before snapping shut with a successful capture. Shiranui discovered to his luck that his new friend was female and named her Nayamashii. He saw the light on Nayamashii's ball still glowing red and knew that he had to send one of his Pokémon back to make room for her. He returned to see how Chuck and Ariel was faring with Turtonator.

[Azure Flame]

"Ariel, use Bubble Beam!" Chuck said, hoping to score a super effective hit. However, when the bubbles Ariel fired at the Turtonator hit, they seemed to only do normal damage. Confused, Chuck checked his Pokedex again, realizing that it was a Fire/Dragon type. The Turtonator retaliated with Flamethrower, hitting the Brionne and giving her a burn. Chuck recalled her and sent out Bud, his Mudbray. "Bud, use High Horsepower!" Chuck said. The Mudbray galloped toward the Turtonator, whose shell started glowing. Bud slammed into Turtonator's shell, and it exploded, knocking Bud back. However, the attack took it's toll on the Turtonator, as it's breathing had become ragged. Chuck took this chance to toss a Great Ball, which shook a couple times and then pinged. Suddenly, Bud started glowing and evolved into Mudsdale. "Nice!" Chuck said, retrieving the ball, thinking of a name. He noticed it was a female, and decided to name her Megumin, after a character from an anime he liked who loved explosions.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Mike observed each of the battles taking notes, before he said "You guys are lucky, you've come across so many new Pokemon and a few of the Alohan forms of Pokemon. During my journey, I did not get a chance to see too many Alohan Forms, but you guys just seem to find them easier"

He then looked ahead as he saw the path up the volcano, he lead them to the bottom of it before stopping and said "If you follow the path up, there should be a cave leading straight to the summit. Because I've done this Trial, you have to go on ahead without me. I'll be waiting for you guys by the trial gate to route 8. Good luck"

[Alisdragon911]

“Congrats Chuck on catching Turtonator,” Jen says to Chuckas she listens to Mike as the y are lucky to see, battle, and catch Alohan Pokémon. She listens to him about the path to the summit. “I guess we will decides who battles first for the fire trial as we walk the path to the summit.” Men says as she smiles at Mike for wishing them good luck as Maui walks ahead of the n waits for everyone to catch up to him.

[Azure Flame]

"Thanks Jenn!" Chuck said, smiling as he put the ball on his belt.

[kuroku]

Upon them reaching the summit for the fire trial, a girl in white,blue, and pink was already there a pokeball in hand. "Keshishishishi, It's the day I said I would take up the trail challenge with you, the dead are our audience today as we see today which of us take on the mantle of the best dancer." she said taking out a double sided torch from her back with her spare hand.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"I see we are not the only ones here for the trial," Liam said to his friends, unsure of if she realized they were there.
