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. | 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}}.

{{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!]]'', when he cleared the [[Verdant Cavern]] trial, earning a [[Normalium Z]] from the Totem {{p|Gumshoos}} in the process. 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 traveled to [[Ula'ula Island]] in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'' and had a battle against [[Nanu]] in the [[SM074|next episode]], but he lost. He then cleared the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}} trial in ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', after defeating [[Jessie's Mimikyu]]; this allowed Ash to formally compete against Nanu in the grand trial. The grand trial occurred in ''[[SM077|Guiding an Awakening!]]'', where Ash cleared it with his Lycanroc. After considering giving Ash a [[Darkinium Z]] for his victory, Nanu instead gave him a [[Lycanium Z]]. In [[SM104]], it was revealed Ash was planning to challenge Poni Island's Kahuna for his Pokémon School research project, but upon learning that Poni Island had no reigning Kahuna, he decided to challenge {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Fini}} directly instead. | {{Ash}} is currently taking the island challenge in conjunction with his studies at the [[Pokémon School]] in the [[Alola]] [[region]].

After [[Hapu]] had become the new Poni Island Kahuna in [[SM109]], Ash was able to have a grand trial battle against her. After Ash had emerged victorious, Hapu presented him with a set of [[type]]-specific Z-Crystals and let him choose one of them as his prize. Ash let {{AP|Pikachu}} make the choice for him, and he picked the [[Steelium Z]]. | ||
