Kiawe, being the grandson of the former Island Kahuna, accepts the task. Hapu is amused, seeing Ash has the guts to choose Pikachu, and asks of Kiawe to be the referee for the battle. Much to his friends' shock, Ash chooses Pikachu. Hapu asks which Pokémon will Ash choose to fight her Mudsdale. At evening, the group has gathered at the battlefield. Kiawe wishes him luck, and Ash thanks him for that. Kiawe asks Ash did he choose which Pokémon will he use, and Ash, getting soaked by Lana, confirms he did. Rotom exclaims Pikachu would be the worst choice, since Ash would be at a disadvantage. Sophocles reminds this is Ash they are talking about, and considers Pikachu as a choice. Sophocles wonders what Pokémon has Ash chosen to use, while Kiawe believes a safe bet would be Rowlet. Kiawe and Sophocles see Ash is having a relaxed time. The two start splashing each other, until Ash accidentally steps onto Pikachu, who electrocutes him, Lana, Brionne and Sandy.
As he wonders how did Rowlet even get himself under the sand, Ash gets soaked by Lana's Brionne. While Tsareena and Torracat relax, Lycanroc digs out something, which Ash, much to his shock, sees it is his Rowlet. At the beach, Mallow and Lillie pick Snowy and Shaymin up before they get soaked by the wave. Ash accepts her challenge, as she sends Golurk out, who flies away with Hapu. Ash sees it is a battlefield beneath the water Hapu states the low tide will be this evening, where she and her Mudsdale will await him in a one-on-one battle. The group has a walk, and Hapu points at submerged ruins, where they will have the Grand Trial. Hapu explains Ash will soon have the Grand Trial against her, which makes him very excited. Outside, Hapu thanks the heroes, who congratulate her. With that, Tapu Fini descends back into the watery pool. Hapu touches her Z-Ring, accepting the role of the Island Kahuna. Tapu Fini raises its arms, enchanting the Z-Ring, and in turn, the water reacts. Hapu takes her Z-Ring off, asking of Tapu Fini to grant her the role to protect Poni Island. They notice the latter emerging from the pool of water, and spins around Hapu, spreading glitter around. She claps, and spins around, as others believe she is mimicking Tapu Fini. Hapu honors Tapu Fini, the Guardian Deity of Poni Island, with a traditional dance. Rotom is excited and takes pictures, but Kiawe yells out at it not to make any noise, but gets shushed by the girls. Kiawe states this is an important ritual, and asks of everyone to be silent. At the Ruins of Hope, the heroes have gathered to observe Hapu's ceremony to be promoted to an Island Kahuna. She reminds herself that she needs to prepare herself. Will he be able to pass it?Īt morning, Hapu pulls out a Poni radish, and stores it on Mudsdale. If they're so inclined, they'll help with a local issue, maybe a region wide issue if they're motivated, but otherwise they just sit around in their little room, training.Hapu has become the Island Kahuna of Poni Island, and Ash is going to get a Grand Trial from her. For one thing, besides the Gym leaders who explicitly held this as their job, the Gym leaders have only ever been portrayed as strong trainers who hold down jobs and give trainers a badge, not game keepers.
Even if it's just some secondhand accounts, just knowing who I'll be facing adds more personal stakes then having to face some rando trainer who didn't even have the decency to help out during the crisis.Īn interesting headcannon but not really accurate. Honestly, I prefer to know a bit about who I'll be fighting. Sometimes one or two Elite Four people will step in, nowadays the Champion has the decency to get off their butt and help out a little but it's rare for the Elite Four to do much in the way of, "Being guardians." The Elite Four are the best of the best in the region but to call them guardians is stretching it. If they're so inclined, they'll help with a local issue, maybe a region wide issue if they're motivated, but otherwise they just sit around in their little room, training.
