Day 88
I entered Lush Jungle to face the fourth island trial, hosted by the adorable Mallow. Her Totem Pokémon, Lurantis, proved far deadlier than expected, leading to a brutal battle that cost me three team members.
I opened with Smoochum, hoping Powder Snow would pressure Lurantis, but it was instantly destroyed by Solar Blade. Next came Ribombee, who fought bravely with Pollen Puff, but things spiraled when Lurantis summoned Kecleon. With Sunny Day boosting its healing through Synthesis, Ribombee was overwhelmed by constant attacks and fell. Hawlucha then entered and quickly took down Kecleon with Flying Press, only for Lurantis to summon Comfey. After multiple Aerial Aces, Hawlucha managed to defeat Comfey, but not without suffering heavy damage. When it finally turned its attacks on Lurantis, the healing continued, and a Solar Blade eventually struck Hawlucha down.
With three Pokémon gone, I sent out Torracat to finish things. Using Inferno Overdrive, its Z-Move, I landed a crushing blow. Lurantis fought hard, striking Torracat for massive damage, but Torracat endured and finally delivered the finishing hit, securing victory in the trial. Afterward, I caught a Steenee before leaving the jungle, though the heavy losses weighed on me.
