Once everyone had arrived at the shrine with Halahe had them follow him and and up to a statue. He got down on his knees in front of it, motioning for the others to do so as well. Once everyone had, He spoke to Tapu Koko, asking it to watch over the Grand Trial Battles. After that, he asked who wanted to go first.
Hala returned after a bit and handed out the Z-Rings. He than told them they need to, as tradition states, vist Tapu Koko's Shrine and prey before they have the battles.
Hala approached the heroes. "Alola everyone." He greeted with a smile. "Did everyone manage to get the stone?" He noticed the Z-Ring that Liam had. "Did Tapu Koko bring this to you?" Hala inquired, already knowing the answer. "He did it again..." He looked off toward Tapu Koko's shrine. He than offered to take the stones and make them into Z-Rings.
