I've been training especially hard since...uh...Well I guess the reason I brought you out here was I am trying to befriend you before he can corrupt you. I mean..." She rubs her arm. "You may as well hear this from me. You know what the Island Challenge is?" You nod no. "I vaguely know about it but don't know anything in detail." Mallow nods. "So when children come of age they all get their first Pokemon from an Island Kahuna. Then they have to beat the trials and Totem Pokemon of each Island Captain. Each island has it's own trials and are run by a captain. For example my trial has my trial-goers gather ingredients for a meal that attracts my Totem Pokemon Lurantis for a battle." Lurantis? You check your Pokedex. "Lurantis, The Bloom Sickle Pokemon. Grass type. It fires beams from its sickle-shaped petals. These beams are powerful enough to cleave through thick metal plates. As it slashes into its enemies, it looks like it’s dancing. Its elegant appearance has led some to call it the most glamorous Grass Pokémon." Mallow nods. "Its a hugs tradition in Alola and well. Well...Kids haven't taken the island challenge lately. In fact they already went and preemptively removed the age limit on Trial Captains. Normally I am going to have to retire after I turn 20. But I was supposed to have begun training my replacement this year. But no one wants to. In fact. We've gotten way less Trial-Goers ever since HE..." Mallow clenches her fists. "Look. Kids who beat the Island Challenge recieve an invitation to challenge the Elite 4 of Alola. Adults and people who haven't taken the challenge can do so as well to be fair if you get permission from Professor Kukui. He's the head honcho of the League. I bring all this up not to talk your ear off but...Stars really ruined the Island Challenge and the Pokemon League for everyone. It meant a lot to people in Alola. You really shouldn't let that guy hang around you or else people are gonna think you are a trouble maker too." You sigh. "Okay! How can one guy ruin an entire Pokemon League!?" You ask frustrated. "By being the champion." You hear a voice from behind you. It's a girl you don't recognize. She seems awfully cheery. "But don't worry. Because I'M GOING TO BEAT HIM TO THE DIRT THIS TIME!" Her cheeriness goes away as she grits her teeth. "MARK MY WORDS MALLOW! Also I was gonna train with Totem Lurantis again. What are you doing here?" She asks confused. "Oh Selene! This is Amon! Amon this is Selene. She's one of the Trial Captains and one of the most power trainers in Alola too." Mallow introduces you. Selene eagerly runs up. "Alola!" She waves her hands in front of her face. "That's how people say hello in Alola." Mallow whispers to you.
>Say "Alola" and copy her movements>Be befuddled at what's going on>STARS IS THE CHAMPION!?
