Once getting into the desert, Liam was reminded of the time he had to cross through the desert in Hoenn, and was glad he had the forseight to hold onto the Go googles.

"Bang, it's hot out here," Shiranui commented after entering the sun-drenched desert. He was glad to have Ashika on his party for when he would need to cool off. He wondered if the trek to the trial site was part of the trial given the hazardous biome.

[Alisdragon911]

“You get use too it soon,” Jen says as she is thinking about cool places. She have a feeling that the desert is part of the trial and also the habit of the totem.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"So, what? Should we try to think of cold places to help keep our minds off of the heat?" Liam inquired.

[James Davy]

"There are also our Pokémon," added Shiranui, "Some of them are capable of generating water or ice."

[Alisdragon911]

Jen nods to what Liam ask her as Michiru pops out of Great ball and squirts water at Shiranui.

[James Davy]

"Thank you Michiru," said Shiranui after getting squirted. He pulled out his smartphone and accessed the PokéNav app to get his bearings.

Liam began to think about the cave at Seafoam Island where he encountered Articuno, which he nicknamed Borealis

[Azure Flame]

Chuck sent out Ariel and had her use her signature Z-Move, creating a giant bubble of water above them, which burst and rained down on all of them.

[Alisdragon911]

Michiru bobs her head and tails swishes as she is happy to help. Jen, Michiru, Maui, and Aura enjoys the rain shower as Jen looks around to see if the rain shower did not bother anny wild Pokémon.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam did not see any native Pokémon that seemed to have been bothered by the downpour.

[James Davy]

Shiranui saw a pit open up in the wet sand and realised a Trapinch was becoming more active due to the moisture.

[bowtiesrcool86]

It wasn't too much longer before Liam saw the post that signaled a trial location on the distance.

[Alisdragon911]

Jen makes sure to hide anything shiny to not attract a Gabbie, as she also notice the sign that the trial is uphead.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"So, who wants to go first?" Liam asked.

[James Davy]

"I'll go first if no-one else is volunteering," answered Shiranui.

[Alisdragon911]

“You can go first,” Jen says as the sand blows into her face. Her Pokémon cry out to resume her they are okay as Jen sees the auras of Pokémon roaming under their feet.

[James Davy]

Shiranui nodded and stepped forward into the trial area. An Alolan Raichu surfed in from the sky and made a come-hither motion. Shiranui sent Yuugou out and the battle was on.

"Yuugou, start with Take Down!" The totem opened by wagging its tail cutely, lowering Yuugou's Defence with a Tail Whip. Yuugou flew at Raichu like a missile and struck the surfer rodent with a Take Down, suffering recoil damage in the process. Raichu uttered a calling cry and a Baltoy emerged from the desert sand. "Yuugou, finish Raichu off with Headbutt!" Raichu zapped Yuugou with a Thunderbolt and the Beldum let off a bright glow, morphing to something resembling a Magnezone with Beldum for arms. Baltoy upped its Defence with a Harden as the newly-evolved Metang charged at Raichu and struck with its head, knocking the surfer out. Baltoy used Power Trick to turn the Harden from earlier into an Attack boost. "Yuugou, use Corkscrew Crash!" Shiranui twisted the Steelium Z in his Z Power Ring and performed the dance to activate it. Yuugou charged at Baltoy, spinning like a drill. The Metang's attack struck home and Baltoy was knocked out in one hit.

Shiranui gave Baltoy and Raichu a Revive and some berries to help them recover and in return, Baltoy gave Shiranui the Psychium Z. The totem Raichu showed off the dance that would activate it and Shiranui committed it to his memory.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam inserted the Ghostium Z into the Z-ring and went next he stepped forward and called out Bastille, the shiny Palossand.
"Bastille, Shadow Ball!" Liam called. Bastille flung the ball of energy at Aoloan Raichu, who managed to evade it. Unfortunately for the totem, it had no offensive moves to hurt Bastille. The totem called in a Baltoy for help.
"Bastille, Earth Power on the Totem!" Bastille's attack connected this time and did considerable damage. The Baltoy began to absorb sunlight for a Solar Beam.
Liam activated the Z Ring and did the small dance. "Now Bastille, finish this with Never Ending Nightmare!" The area around the battle grew dark and began to resemble a cemetery. Many dark, ghostly hands shot out from under the Totem Pokémon and pulled it into the shadows. Just a few seconds afterward, a light shot straight upward, ejecting the Totem Raichu who crashed to the ground KO'd. Liam gave the totem a Max Revive and the Baltoy an Orren Berry. The Raichu gave Liam the Psychicnum Z, to which Liam thanked it. He praised Bastille for a good job and recalled it. Lastly, he swapped the Dragnium Z back into the Z ring.
