At this moment, Nanu was trying very hard to come up with an excuse to get out of this but realized he was caught. "Fine, I'll take all of you on for your Grand Trials. He said that it would be a battle with each of them using three Pokémon each. "You first, dragon boy." He said pointing at Liam. Nanu leads the heroes to a battlefield while Jenny took the evidence to be processed, and she wished the heroes good luck on the battles.
"Krookodile, go!" Nanu called.

"[i]Krookodile, the Intimidation Pokémon. A ground and dark type. Its unique faculty of sight can detect small prey more than 30 miles away, even in the midst of a sandstorm. After clamping down with its powerful jaws, it twists its body around to rip its prey in half.[/i]"

"Interesting, Then I'll start off with Robin!" Liam called out his Decidueye.
"Sending out something that is weak to your opponent? They must have utter morons in Johto is [i]you[/i] are the Champion." Nanu sneered.
 Liam was annoyed by the comment, though he was thinking that Nanu was trying to get under his skin with it.
 "Leaf Blade! Go!" Robin charged in and struck with the attack, dealing considerable damage.
"Krookodile, Crunch," Nanu ordered. Krookodile gave Robin a powerful bite, doing more damage than Robin had done to Krookodile.
"Robin, Brave Bird!" Liam called. Robin charged toward Krookodile, engulfing itself in flames and tackled Krookodile head on. Krookodile sustained heavy damaged and used Crunch, which missed.
 "Synthesis!" Liam called. Robin restored health and Krookodile tried Sand Tomb, trapping Robin in battle.
"Leaf Storm!" Liam called. The attack was critical and KO'd Krookodile.
"Impressive," Nanu commented. "But, let's see how you handle this." Nanu tossed another ball out and Sabeleye emerged. 
"Sableye, Mean Look!" Sableye immediately locked Robin into the battle.
"Leaf Blade!" Liam called. Robin charged forward to do the attack, but took a Shadow Claw head on and was KO'd. Liam recalled Robin, praising him for the good work. Liam next sent out Smaug, the Charizard. Liam activated his Mega Ring and Smaug Mega Evolved to Mega Charizard Y. "Take flight, Smaug!" The Charizard took off and stopped in front of the sun, tricking the Sableye into temporarily blinding itself. "Now, Fire Blast!" Smaug launched the powerful fire-type move, OHKOing Sableye.
	"Impressive, I didn't expect a sneaky move like that from you Coleman, But it isn't over yet. Nanu sent out his last Pokémon, an Alolan Persian.

"[i]Persian, Alola Form. The Classy Cat Pokémon. A Normal and Dark Type, and the evolved form of Meowth. Its round face is a symbol of wealth. Persian that have bigger, plumper faces are considered more beautiful. It looks down on everyone other than itself. Its preferred tactics are sucker punches and blindside attacks[/i]"

"Focus Blast!" Liam called.
"Power Gem," Nanu replied. The rock-typed beam blasted through the fighting one, but did not make it to Smaug.

"Smaug, return. Goodra, It's time to shine!" Liam sent out his ace. Nanu's Z-Ring activated as he did the proper dance moves. "Now, Persian use Black Hole Eclipse!" A beam shot forth from the gem on Persian's forehead and grew into a big orb.
 "Goodra charge!" Liam called. Goodra ran toward his opponent, sliding under the orb as it soared past him. It started to try and pull him in. "Now, Grab on Goodra!"
 "What!?" Nanu exclaimed. Goodra grabbed his opponent in an Ursaring hug and tossed h=it into the Z move's orb instead of him. "Now, get away with Dragon Pulse!" Goodra fired the dragon move at the orb, making it explode prematurely Persian was KO'd and Liam won.
 "I am very impressed with you, Champion, you [i]know[/i] the dirty fighting style of dark types well. Here, I think you might like this Z crystal. It is special and can only be used with Decidueye.
 "Thanks Nanu," Liam said. 
"Goodra!" Goodra chimed in with a smile. Liam healed up his team and returned to the sidelines so someone else could go.
