Island challenge: Difference between revisions

All trials seen so far work similarly to the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] trial from the {{pkmn|games}}, with {{pkmn|Trainer}}s being rewarded by the Totem Pokémon itself if successful in {{pkmn|battle}}. However, [[Hala]] contradicts this by noting that it is rare for a Totem Pokémon to directly give the Z-Crystal to the Trainer themselves. Another difference lies in the fact that completing all trials in an island is not required for a battle with the island kahuna; Trainers will earn the right to face off against a kahuna after completing just one trial.

{{Ash}} is currently taking the island challenge in conjunction with his studies at the [[Pokémon School]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]]. He competed in his first trial in ''[[SM009|To Top a Totem!]]'', in which he cleared the [[Verdant Cavern]] trial, earning a [[Normalium Z]] from the Totem {{p|Gumshoos}}. In ''[[SM010|Trial and Tribulation!]]'', he battled against Hala in the [[Melemele Island]] grand trial and won. Hala was about to reward him with a [[Fightinium Z]], but {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}} switched it with an [[Electrium Z]]. His third trial took place in ''[[SM035|Currying Favor and Flavor!]]'', when he cleared the [[Lush Jungle]] trial, earning a [[Grassium Z]] from the Totem {{p|Lurantis}}. He then faced Olivia in the Akala Island grand trial in ''[[SM036|Trials and Determinations!]]'', earning a [[Rockium Z]] for defeating her.

Ash travelled to [[Ula'ula Island]] in [[SM073]] and had a battle against [[Nanu]] in the [[SM074|next episode]] but lost. He cleared the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} trial in [[SM076]], after defeating [[Jessie's Mimikyu]]. This allows Ash to compete against Nanu in the grand trial.


{{ashcl|Ash's classmates}} have completed some trials as well. For instance, {{an|Kiawe}} completed [[Olivia]]'s grand trial on [[Akala Island]] prior to ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', receiving a [[Z-Ring]] and [[Firium Z]] as a reward. {{an|Lana}} completed the trial on [[Brooklet Hill]] in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'' by defeating a Totem {{p|Wishiwashi}} in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Wishiwashi|School Form]] with her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}}, receiving a [[Waterium Z]] from the Pokémon and a Z-Ring, made from her [[Sparkling Stone]], from Olivia afterward.
