Verdant Cavern: Difference between revisions

Verdant Cavern appeared in [[SM009‎‎]], as the site of {{Ash}}'s first island trial. Wanting to ask {{p|Yungoos}} and {{p|Gumshoos}}'s help in dealing with a group of Alolan {{p|Rattata}} and {{p|Raticate}} causing havoc around [[Melemele Island]], Ash was led to the Verdant Cavern by [[Hala]] to battle {{pkmn2|Totem}} Gumshoos and get it to help them. At first, Ash faced a Yungoos and Gumshoos, the Totem's ally Pokémon, which he defeated with the help of {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Rowlet}}. After this, Totem Gumshoos appeared, challenging Ash. It was able to defeat Rowlet, but was eventually taken down by Pikachu. As a reward for winning the battle, Totem Gumshoos gave Ash a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} and agreed to help in driving away the troublesome Rattata and Raticate. Unbeknownst to Ash and Hala, {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}} secretly followed the trial as it took place.
