[u][color=fff200]Isle of Armor[/color][/u]

Galar had proven itself to be quite the adventure and it was far from over. After battling their way up to the champion and preventing a new Darkest Day, there was a new challenge awaiting our heroes at the Isle of Armor.

Kjolmar's team was doing well. 

Neo the Klinklang had deepened its bond with Luna even further and it slowly started to open up to Shutter too. Every now and then you could catch it expressing emotions, though they were still rare. 

Caliban the Golisopod had been very pleased that Kjolmar returned it to his traveling team. Being with the other Pokemon back home wasn't really his thing, he had the need to explore new areas for sure. Plus Kjolmar seemed to understand him like no one else did. Caliban seemed to be forming a connection to Shade and Flash, although with Flash the connection was a bit unstable, as Caliban didn't like it when Flash was being too high energy, due to Caliban being a very calm Pokemon itself. Caliban had taken it upon himself to watch over Shade as if they were brothers or something. 

When Kjolmar and his friends arrived on the isle, he wondered out loud: [i][color=a0410d]"So, shall we find this dojo we talked about then?"[/color][/i] Just as he spoke out, two particular individuals walked up to them: [b]"You must be the new... Hmm.. You know what, it might be best if you return to the mainland."[/b] They vanished as quickly as they had arrived, leaving our heroes in confusion. That duo didn't seem to want them to reach the dojo at all. what was up with that?

While Neo was resting in its poke ball, Caliban walked next to Kjolmar to get some fresh air. [i][color=a0410d]"I bet you are so pleased to be on another adventure with me, aren't you?"[/color][/i] Caliban nodded calmly. 

The group encountered some Diglett. Kjolmar took a closer look at them. [i][color=a0410d]"Hey, those are Alolan forms. How odd to see them here in Galar."[/color][/I]

As they reached the dojo, they were greeted by a man called Mustard, who appeared to be the master of the dojo. His wife Honey bid the group welcome. Kjolmar noticed how the two strange individuals from earlier were among the students. As he asked about them, Honey explained their identity: [b]"Those two? Oh, they are Klara and Avery, two of our older students. They were supposed to guide you to the dojo but they said you never showed up. It must be a misunderstanding."[/b] Kjolmar gave them both a stare but decided to keep his mouth shut for now. 

Master Mustard then explained the first trial that all students could participate in. They had to chase down three extremely fast Slowpoke and return them to the dojo. Kjolmar looked Aro in the eye and nodded, knowing this would be like a walk in the park for them.
