Ailla sent out rowlet. "Ok rowlet use!" Rowlet didn't wait for her command as it took to the air and used gust followed by a swift peck attack.but opening itself up to a poepwerful close range tackle attack which sent it flying. Rowlet used one more gust attack and the youngoose scurried off. "Good job...but aren't you suposed to be tacking my orders." Ailla said confused. "Roo!" Rowlet said huaghtily. Rowlet continued to behave this way till they entered the final chamber. Where they were ambushed by a giant youngoose. "Ok Rowlet let's try a!-" she did finish as rowlet opened up with a gust attack right out of the gate. "No... you should have flown out of range..." Ailla kinda whined but it was too late as the giant youngoose charged rowlet sending it flying. "Rowlet!!" Rowlet hooted furiously. Charging at the youngoose. The youngoose easily batted him away. "Are you ready to listen to me?" Ailla asked impatiently. Rowlet reluctantly nodded. "Alright! Rowlet fly up high and use sandstorm followed by gust! The use another gust to propell yourself at the youngoose for a tackle followed by a peck attack!" Ailla ordered strangly good at this. The rowlet used the sandstorm and gust together creating a huge cloud of dust and dealing some damage as it flew up high. The youngoose temporarily blinded wasn't able to defend against the next extra powerful tackle that was able to land a critical dealing a huge amount of damage which followed by the peck attack and a little added gust was enough to send the youngoose packing. "Yay! We did it!" Ailla cheered happily taking the normalium z crystal.

Ailla exited the cavern happy as could be at her newest success.

Sylver walked back to Hau'oli city, ready to do some training with her new Pokemon. She carried pichu in her hands with rubber gloves, so it wouldn't shock her. "Okay Pichu, we gotta get you to the level of the rest of my team" Sylver said, confident that her Pichu could do it "Pi! Chu!" it said with the same confidence.

"Shade! Shade!! Where are you! If this is a joke it isn't funny!" Damion shouted beyond furious that his zorua had once again disappeared into the crowd of hau'oli city. "Can I help you?" Asked a young girl with black pigtails with read high light, barely able to hold back a snicker. "There you are!" Damion said released but angry. "Hmm? Whatever could you mean?" The girl asked now not even trying to hold back the giggles and amused smirk. "That's enough of you today." Damion said holding up a pokeball and the girl disappeared in a flash into the pokeball.

Ailla walked into the city rowlet once again on her head. Both tired and definitely hungry. Rowlet hadn't eaten anything since yesterday's breakfast and Ailla hadn't had anything at all.

"Pichu! No! Bad! Get back here! I'm your trainer, listen to meee!" Sylver shouted, running frantically after her Pichu, who had escaped her grasp and was now running wild around Hau'oli city. "Pi! Chuuuu!" It squeaked happily as it jumped onto Allia, giving her a strong shock, the leaping away again.

"Okay Buizel, let's get training" Rhys said to his partner as they walked the streets oh Hau'oli. Out of nowhere, a pich jumped into his arms. "Aww, hey little guy, are you lost?" Rhys asked the pichu, Buizel held his arms out, wanting to hold the adorable little Pokmon. As soon as buizel had it in his arms, it let out a super effective shock, buizel fell over as Pichu jumped back into Rhys's arms, shocking him just as hard.

"Gotcha! Pichu! Return!" Sylver called out, returning Pichu to its ball. "Sorry about- wait, never mind, you probably deserve that" Sylver said to him. "Control your Pokmon, idiot" Rhys shouted at her. The two started their usual arguing, not caring other people were around.

Gradient tossed his Normalium Z up and down. Up, down. Up, down. What to do with it? He could just sell it off... Or give it to one of his Pokemon. However, Normalium Z's special move wasn't all that powerful, actually.

Both Litten and Eevee were Level 15 at this point. Gradient had split off from the group to do a little training. It was VERY intense. Gradient was kind of surprised they both managed to stay awake the entire time. That's more than Gradient could say about some other Pokemon that he had met when he was younger...

Gradient had heard voices, ones that belonged to those in their little travel group. He had assumed they had headed this way to challenge the Totom Pokemon for the Normalium Z.

Gradient strode back to the PokeCenter, humming with contentment. The Trial hadn't been too hard; pretty mediocre, if anything. But it earned Gradient's Pokemon experience, so meh.


Gradient dragged himself out of the PokeCenter after healing his Pokemon. It was so nice and warm and cozy in there... No. Perfection Gradient. Perfection. Gradient straightened his back, lifted his chin, and increased the length of his strides.

A rustle in the grass caught Gradient's attention. A flash of yellow zipped by, leaving the air singed and sparking. Pikachu! Or maybe Pichu. Gradient recalled. He had memorized many, many, many PokeDex entries. A cry sounded out, ringing in Gradient's ears. Oh, that was a Pikachu alright.

Gradient pulled some PokePuffs out of his bag, plopping down in the tall grass. He started humming, and played a soft, friendly tune on his guitar.

The Pikachu inched closer and closer. Closer, closer... It grabbed a PokePuff and rushed away. Gradient grabbed a PokePuff too, and offered it to Pikachu. Pikachu's shoulders relaxed. It gobbled the food up, and Gradient fed it seven more.

Gradient had fished a Pokeball out of his bag at this point, and simply lightly tapped it on the Pikachu's head. The ball shook once, twice, thrice, before emitting a clicking sound. That was very lucky. The Pikachu must have been caught off guard.

Ah, so it was another male. Very well than. Gradient planned on evolving him into an Alolan Raichu. He released his other two Pokemon. "Guys, meet our new team mate." Gradient said. His violet eyes snapped to Pikachu. "Pikachu."

Gradient heard more voices. Was that Sylver? And Rhys. And fighting. And Pichus. Of course. Something always sparked between Sylver and Rhys. "Sylver, Rhys. Do you two have Pichus?" He called out, walking over. "So we all got some rare Pokemon then." Gradient smirked cockily. "Perfect."

Yuri was dragging an un-amused Thomas by the arm through her woods with quite with smile. " Really why cant we just start where we finished off this is so boring....Ilima didn't even try this time!" he huffed like a child. " Stop whining, she just wanted to give the others some encouragement... sot being so pouts about it, Lana wont go that easy and you know it" she said optimistically before stopping hearing the others close ahead. " Do we have to keep tagging along with them?" he asked to which Yuri nodded " I know you noticed it too, that Gradient kid is different", she said pulling her Camera up and snapping a quick picture of him. Thomas nodded " he is a fighter that's for sure.... but somethings off" he knew he would have to keep a close eye on him from now on so they didn't make the same mistake again. " Hey Guys!" she said all smiles as she entered the clearing dragging Thomas with her.

*sighs*'except for me)

Ailla eventually found ryhs and sylver. "Hey guys look what I got!" Ailla said happily holding up the normalium. "We won! And I finally got rowlet to listen to me!" Ailla said excitedly. Rowlet immediately used gust on her and hooted indignantly. Rowlet Gusts were getting pretty strong by now. "I guess not." Ailla said startled her hair blown out and sticking straight to one side from the blast. "Oh, hey gradient. Seems you finally made it." Ailla said happily. Before a zoroa leapt onto her shoulders with a high pitched bark. The zoroa had a shoe clamped in its jaws. "Get back here you fiend!" Yelled a boy with red hair sprinting after the Pokmon. Unsurprisingly with only one shoe. "I'm going to get-ahh!" The boy cut off as he slammed into Ailla knocking her to the ground. The zoroa leapt off of the two turning into her human form,once again. "Yeesh Damion, you need to watch where your going. Your becoming a real menace to this city. "Damion jumped up ignoring the fact he was standing on top of Ailla who looked pretty dazed and unresponsive. "Your one to talk! I've had nothing but trouble since I got you!" Damion shot back. "Return!" He said angrily zapping zoroa back into the pokeball his shoe dropping to the ground.

Gradient saw a light spark. A camera. Had the people already found him? No. It was just Yuri. Gradient was about to open his mouth to say something, but thought better of it. Yuri was already suspicious from Gradient noticing the Icy Wind move that Yuri's Alolan Vulpix could use. Might as well create a veil of ignorance, no matter how thin.

Gradient turned to the red head with green eyes and the Zorua. Where were these people getting their Zoruas? Zorua was very rare after all, considered a pseudo-legendary even in its un-evolved form.

Huh.

"Damion, huh?" Gradient smiled politely. He usually only put on his extreme level of charm for either important people, or just people he liked. Gradient more often used that on girls; it was easier. "It's nice to meet you and your Zorua. My name is Gradient. You may know me as the Ultimate Perfection Prodigy." Gradient told Damion. It was true; Gradient was known as the Ultimate Perfection Prodigy. Or the Ultimate Lingual Prodigy. Or the Ultimate Intellectual Prodigy, Yeah, Gradient wasn't sure how he got those titles. "Your Zorua must be really, really skilled. I've never head of one talking, or of one managing to get into a human form."

Gradient truly had never heard of such a skilled Zorua; Zorua were only supposed to put up an illusion of the Pokemon that went before them in a battle. Of course, there were those mutated Pokemon, but Damion probably wouldn't be able to get a hold of them.

Huh.

Yuri stepped back from the red head to give him some room missing Gradient comment, Thomas had gotten it, this guy was "that kid" super popular and well known he also has had some top lessons.... how did him and Yuri always get stuck with these people, First Grace, and now this kid. but he didn't let his frustration show and instead stuck out his hand to the Red headed boy that went by Damion " Name's Thomas, and the small fry over here not paying attention is Yuri.." he said kindly thankful she had missed his comment as well. Yuri picked up Vul a almost frown on her face as she looked up at Thomas. Thomas jumped back at the sight of Yuri actually upset about something, had his short joke hurt he feeling had it gone to far. " Can we Find that clearing so I can let Riolu out?" she asked as if she was asking for the largest favor in the world. " Yes, Promise just please stop frowning I'm scared your gonna cry..." he said ruffling his hair and avoiding eye contact with her.

"Never heard of you. Damion said to gradient. "But nice to meet you none the less." Damion said kindly. Before Ailla groaned from under neath him reminding him he was still standing on her. "Oh, gods so sorry." Damion said quickly helping her up. "Thanks." Ailla said. But Damion wasn't listening anymore, just staring at her blankly. "Oh. My. God." He said slowly as he saw her clearly. "YOUR AILLA LIMERICK!!!" He shouted excitedly, jumping around. "Ailla limerick? I don't know what your talking about. I'm no one special. Just a normal girl." Ailla said nervously. "Oh, no need to be modest! Your parents are the champions of champions! And so is the rest of your family! I here they sent there only son here for training. Are they doing the same with you?" Damion asked. "Ooh! I know it's not appropriate but could travel with you!?" Damion asked desperately. "Sure..." Ailla said no longer bothering to deny his accusations. "But could you just...calm down?" Ailla asked hesitantly. "Calm down!? I'm in the presence of a limerick! You guys are the richest people in xalos, and your the best trainers too!!" Damion said only getting more exited. "And I get to travel with you!" Ailla chuckled nervously. "I wouldn't say we're all that. Especially me. I meant it when is said I'm no one special." Ailla tried but Damion would not be calmed.
