Chapter 5: Trial Travels
It was the next morning, and reports were all over the news about the strange portals around the city, gradually getting closer. Lillie had stayed with them there, and Isaac still wondered about her and what she was hiding in the bag. Lillie had suggested they leave quickly, and seemed rather worried, so the group of now 7 set off once again. Heading up Route 2, Sun and Moon started to discuss all the new Pokemon they had caught. They had both got a Rockruff from Ten Carat Hill. Isaac figured they should head there sometime. Sun stopped in his tracks suddenly. "This is where we have to go through Hau'Oli cemetery." They headed in. Not many were there, but with all the beautiful flowers the place seemed more joyful than he would have thought. Near the end however, the two Team Skull Grunts from earlier were there, harassing a rather worried looking Drifloon. "Come on B, catch this thing quick and we can be gone yo!" "I'm tryin, i'm tryin yo!" Rose ran up to them before anyone had time to act. "Leave that Pokemon alone!" They turned around. "Waah! You guys again?" He sent out Drowzee. "Drowzee, put these fools to sleep!" Drowzee attempted to use Hypnosis, but Buneary quickly stopped it with a Pound attack from it's ears. The one with the Zubat didn't send out his Pokemon, instead grabbing the other one and retreating. "I don't start fights I can't win! I ain't got no bones to pick with you!" Rose went and hugged it. "Don't worry, you're safe now."

It seemed that it was now a part of Rose's team, and it had quickly taken to her. They had continued on to the Berry fields, where the two Team Skull grunts were. They were attempting to steal some Berries, but quickly ran when they saw the group approaching. As they tried to figure out where they ran to, and which way Verdant Cavern was, they saw a girl approaching them with pink streaks in her brown hair. "Who are you?" Flame asked. "I'm Amalia, but you can call me Ama. Professor Burnet sent me here. I'm a Faller like you, I arrived here a while back and she looked after me. But apparently the wormholes are approaching, there's too many Fallers here. It'd be dangerous to split you up so me and Cyndaquil were sent to assist you." Isaac was still confused. It seemed like more and more was starting to stack up... they had continued on to the Pokemon center, where Isaac saw a Gligar in a patch of grass! It flew out high into the air, gliding in for an attack. However, Shinx used Charge to cover itself in an electric shield that blew the Pokemon back to the floor. It retaliated with Poison Sting, cutting Shinx. "Okay Shinx, use..." suddenly, Shinx jumped in, biting onto Gligar and transferring all of the electrical charge to his insides. Gligar fell to the floor. Isaac threw a pokeball, and it stayed in. On top of that, Shinx had learned Bite, that meant he was even closer to evolving. He returned to the group where Sun and Moon had just finished battling. Moon jumped in the air with glee. "Yay! I finally won!" Sun grinned, glad to see her happy. Something told Isaac he may have let her win. Flame spoke up. "Maybe Ama should battle someone? We haven't seen her battle yet." Rose got up, and released Drifloon. "I guess it'd be good to test this little one out."

Drifloon flew into battle first. "Drifloon, use Constrict!" Drifloon wrapped it's thin arms around Cyndaquil, attempting to prevent it from moving. However, it had a backup plan. "Cyndaquil, use...." Ama coughed as a large cloud of smoke billowed from the Pokemon. Cyndaquil must have gotten scared and released a smoke cloud. "Uhh... Smokescreen, yeah." Drifloon released Cyndaquil, drawing back from the smoke. Cyndaquil had the upper hand now. "Cyndaquil, use Ember!" Cyndaquil launched a fireball, headed towards Drifloon. "Drifloon, dodge it!" Drifloom used Minimize to become temporarily smaller, just dodging the fireball. Drifloon had regained it's composure, and was ready to fight back. "Use Astonish!" Drifloon span around, hitting Cyndaquil with a purple energy that caused it to flinch. Cyndaquil retaliated with Smokescreen, creating a large cloud of smoke that was slowly drifting across to Drifloon. "Drifloon, get ready to attack!" Drifloon started to draw wind towards it, preparing a strong attack. "Cyndaquil, use Ember!" Cyndaquil sent it's fireball through the cloud towards Drifloon. "Go! Gust!" Drifloon sent a strong current of air, blowing the Smokescreen to engulf Cyndaquil, the Ember also reversing in the wind, flying into the cloud and igniting it, causing a massive explosion. Cyndaquil was fainted, and Drifloon was victorious.

They took the short detour to Verdant Cavern from the Pokemon Center, and blocking their way was a boy with pink hair. "Welcome, I am Captain Illima. I am here to test you to see if you are ready for my trial." Everybody battled Illima, even though many struggled against his Smeargle due to it's wide range of moves. They decided it was time to head to the Pokemon Center to prepare. As they all sat inside at a table, Flame walked in, and picked up a phone call from the computer. He came and sat down with them, looking rather jolly. Isaac decided to ask him. "What was it?" Flame smiled. "It was just... my family. If you don't mind I might go to Ten Carat Hill tomorrow instead of the trial."
