“That seems like a rare Pokémon” Jen says as she guess that what she saw when Aura evolve into Lucario. Maui blush as he is happy that Dusk like the gift. He barks at Mike saying it is okay with him for Mike to hang onto intill he makes something for Dusk. “Sounds like a plan,” she says as she starts sweat as the mention of the fire trial as Maui rubs his head against her leg, he is cute with Dusk but knows when his trainer needs help or comfort.

Shiranui noticed Jen's discomfort at the mention of the next trial and remembered her pyrophobia. "If it's alright with you, Jen, we have some Pokémon that can help address your pyrophobia," he offered, "That is, of course, when you're ready."

Shiranui noticed the movements depicted on the sign were similar to a hula dance and was not surprised given where they were. He remembered seeing Sashia pulling off the Z-Move at the Battle Dome in Kanto.

Mike smiled at the two of them as he said "Well, I'm proud of you guys". "Did you both face the same Totom as Chuck or did you face the other one?"

@Mike the Bloodwolf

"I faced a Totem Wishiwashi," answered Shiranui.

Pokémon Alola

"Thanks," replied Shiranui, "Of course I wouldn't have done it without Ashika and Ikari."

Pokémon Alola

Hope things go well for you man.

@Azure Flame

That goes double for me.

Shiranui went into Brooklet Hill and soon after he reached the bottom, a large Wishiwashi in its School Form appeared. He sent Ashika out and the Trial was on. "Start with Double Team!" Ashika put her acrobatic skills to work and lots of Brionne appeared. Wishiwashi used Rain Dance to change the weather to heavy rain. The totem called out and an Alomomola showed up to help out. "Ashika, sing them a Perish Song!" Alomomola charged in and gave Ashika a Double Slap, hitting a copy and causing it to vanish. Ashika sung a haunting diminished fifth chord that set the clock ticking for all Pokémon currently involved. Wishiwashi used Feint Attack and struck the real Ashika for major damage. "Ashika, use Protect!" The Brionne conjured a green shield just in time to repel a two-pronged Water Gun. "Ashika, make like a kunoichi and use Substitute!" Alomomola used Helping Hand to power up its comrade and Ashika dove underwater, leaving behind a lookalike to take a few hits. Wishiwashi sprayed a Brine and the attack did enough damage to break Ashika's Substitute. The Perish Song count was at 1 and Shiranui enacted the final part of his strategy. "Ashika, return; Ikari, I choose you!" Shiranui switched out his Brionne and sent out his shiny Bagon. Ikari was inundated with a two-pronged Water Gun and Wishiwashi and Alomomola were both stricken by a crimson glow as the Perish Song sapped away their energy and caused a double knockout.

A Solo Form Wishiwashi that wasn't involved in the Trial swam up to Shiranui and gave him the Waterium Z. In return, Shiranui gave the Wishiwashi a couple of Sitrus Berries with the instruction to deliver them to the totem and its Alomomola companion.

"I suggest you supervise Maui in case the totem shows up," replied Shiranui.

"Does anyone, in particular, want to go first?" Liam asked. Liam was going over in his mind what strategy to use.

@bowtiesrcool86

"I don't mind either way," answered Shiranui. He already decided on his strategy.

Shiranui smiled when Jen made a new friend. He was also amused at Buizel's balancing trick and wondered if they learned it from a Popplio colony.

Ashika, Okami and Bakeru joined Jen's Pokémon in comforting their trainer. Ashika sang some comforting melodies and Bakeru turned up his adorableness. "Sorry, Mike," Shiranui apologised. He felt bad for forgetting one of the things he was taught in his Ninjutsu training; and it hadn't been the first time he did so in his journey in Alola.
"Jen suffers a mental condition called pyrophobia and the flame on Smaug's tail triggered her fear," Saisei explained to Shiranui. Shiranui nodded in understanding and started doing his kuji-in technique to help get his mind and emotions back into focus.
