Liam took his position for the Grand trial. It was stated that each trainer was permitted three Pokémon. Hala sent out Mankey. Liam responded sending out Oliver, the Rowlet.
 "Begin!"
"Rock Tomb!" Hala ordered.
"Leafage!" Liam repled. Oliver conjured a gust of leaf-filled wind, which chopped up the incoming rocks.
 "Focus Energy!" Hala called. His Mankey began to tighten its focus as its chance of getting a critcial hit increased.
"Oliver, Peck!" The Rowlet swooped in and began to pelt the Mankey repeadetly with his beak, and was met with a Fury Swipes hitting five times, three of which were Critical. Oliver was hurt He had a green aura start to surround him, which Liam recognized as Overgrow. Oliver may not last too much longer, but in exchange his grass attacks got a power boost. "Razor Leaf into Astonish!" Liam called. Oliver conjured a furry of sharp leaves that flew toward Mankey, which was a distraction that allowed Oliver to sneak up behind Mankey and give it a good scare. Oliver was lucky enough that he managed to make Mankey jump into the oncoming leaves, and cause it to be KO'd. Hala recalled Mankey and Liam told Rowlet to come back and take a breather. Jangmo-o went out in his stead. Hala sent out Makuhita.
	"Heavy Slam!" Hala called.
 "Noble Roar!" Liam called. Jangmo-o let out a roar that lowered the attack and sp ask of Makuhita, lowering the already buffed damage of Heavy Slam due to the weight difference. Jangmo-o was still hit by the attack. Liam told Jangmo-o to use Work up to buff his attack and sp atk while Makuhita used Arm Thrust, getting four hits.
"Dragon Claw!" Liam called. Jangmo-o slashed Makuhita, getting a KO. Hala was now down to one Pokémon while Liam still had all three, one of which hadn't been used yet. Hala next sent out Crabrawler.
"[i]Crabrawler, The Boxing Pokémon. A Fighting Type While guarding its weak points with its pincers, it looks for an opening and unleashes punches. When it loses, it foams at the mouth and faints.They have been known to mistake Exeggutor for a coconut tree and climb it. The enraged Exeggutor shakes it off and stomps it.[/i]"
 "Alright Jangmo-o, you ready too continue?" Liam asked. Jangmo-o nodded in agreement.
 Hala's Z-Ring began to glow as Hala breify stompped around and than thrusted his palms forward multuple times. Crawbrawler began to use the Z-move, All out Pummelling. The Z Move KO'd Jangmo-o. Liam recalled him and sent Oliver back out. Oliver was still worn out, but other than him, Liam only had Moony the Rockruff, who would be at a disadvantage, and Dragonite who would likely railroad Hala's Pokémon. "Razor Leaf!" Liam called. "Bulk up!" Hala called. Crabrawler increased his attack as he was scraped by the leaves.
 "Now, do a corkscrew Peck attack!" Oliver began to spin inward as he flew toward Crabawler.
 "Dynamic Punch!" Hala called. Crabawler leapt into the air in an attempt to knock Oliver out of the sky. The attacks met, making both Pokémon fly backward and crash. Oliver was KO'd, and Crabrawler was hurt. Liam sent Moony out. Moony happily yipped as he took his place. Liam used the Normalium Z and had Moony use Breaknek Blitz, KO'ing Crabarlwer and giving Liam the win. Hala handed off the Fightium Z, as well as told Liam more about the Z-Crystal that Tapu Koko gave him.
 "That is a Dragnium Z, which allows use of the move, Devesating Drake" Hala explained, He also showed Liam the movements needed for the move. Once Hala was ready to go, he took on the next challenegr.
