Let's go!
First I had to even get to the Elite Four. Battle with Gladion was pretty okay. I started with Mimi and beat his Crobat after taking Cross Poison. I then successfully called Gladion's tricks and sent Linda out when he sent out "Lucario". Unfortunately he decided to use his Z-Move and beat Linda. So Mimi is it again and she beat Zoroark after dodging his Night Daze. Next is Silvally and Ivy took care of it with her Sludge Bomb powered into Acid Downpour. She also stayed for Lucario fight and beat him with one Flamethrower.
Also there is another thing I have to do. Let's go to Mahalo Trial! Nebby is here!
Would you believe this is the first time I've seen this animation outside trailer?
And would you believe this is first Lunala I've ever caught? And it was caught in 1st Ultra Ball.
Then there is Necrozma. Just like with Lunala, this is first Necrozma I've ever caught and in very 1st Ultra Ball. Legendaries these days are so easy to catch...
I made few tweaks in movesets of my team and after small cutscene challenged Elite Four.
Molayne is first. I led with Ivy and his first Pokémon was Klefki, who was able to paralyze Ivy and set one layer of spikes. I switched up to Deni when he sent out Dugrtrio. And it hit pretty hard with Earthquake, so back to Ivy for Magnezone. He then sent out Metagross and took down Ivy with Zen Headbutt. It then took down Linda, but Sarka tanked its attack and beat it with Ghost Z-Move. For his final Pokémon, a Bisharp, I sent out Ivan.
Olivia is next and I lead with Deni. She took down good half of Olivia's team before beating beaten by her Lycanroc's Z-Move. Ivan is next it he uses his own Z-Move to take care of rest of Olivia's team.
Acerola is next. I put Darkinium Z on Linda and forgot to put her in the front of the party, so Deni started the battle. It brought Acerola's Banette to red and she decided to switch to Dhelmise. But I'm experienced trainer so I used Ice Beam, which was able to take Dhelmise down. Palossand was her next Pokémon, so I decided to left Deni in the battle and one overpowered Z-Move later, Palossand was down. When Acerola sent out Froslass I decided to go with Linda. Linda dodged both Blizzard and Confuse Ray and beat Froslass with two Fire Punches. Her next Pokémon was Banette again, so I let Linda handle him. Three Brutal Swings later and Acerola is down to her last Pokémon. She sent out Drifblim and I sent out Meksifon. And...
Before challenging Kahili I once again switched up few Z-Crystals. I put Firium Z on Linda and Icium Z on Ivan. Battle started with Ivan vs Braviary. Ivan wasn't able to one-shot Braviary with one Ice Punch, but when Kahili was healing her Braviary, I set up Swords Dance. Three Swords Dance. Which was enough to take down Braviary, but her Hawlucha was too fast and too strong for slow Ivan. I sent out Sarka, was able to survive Throat Chop and take down Hawlucha with Psychic. Next up was Meksifon vs Mandibuzz. Mandibuzz was able to dodge 2 Stone Edges, but third was enough to take her down. Kahili sent out Toucannon and since I had my last PP in Stone Edge, I used it for Z-Move. Her last Pokémon Oricorio went down quickly after few Thunder Fangs.
And now for the final battle against Hau. This calls for an epic theme...
First battle was Sarka vs Raichu. Both put each other in a red with Earth Power and Psychic. Hau then decides to heal, but my next Earth Power is strong enough to beat Raichu. Ivy vs Crabominable is next. And it was over before Crabominable could even move. Linda vs Tauros. Tauros put Linda in red with Double Edge and Linda then missed with Jump Kick, KOing herself. I sent out Ivan, but got surprised by Tauros' Earthquake. I survived one, but couldn't live through the next. I sent out Ivy and though I would outsped Tauros, but he was still faster and Earthquake brought Ivy down to 1 HP. Next up was Deni vs Incineroar. Our beloved starters clashed against each other. This was the time for a Oceanic Operetta! There was no was Incineroar would survive this. Hau then decided to sent out Leafeon. Which was pretty bad, since Ivy had only 1 HP. I sent her out anyway and healed her. Leafeon used Quick Attack, so no damage at all and I was able to finish him up with Sludge Wave. Last battle was Meksifon vs Noivern. And one Stone Edge later, I became a Champion of the Alola League.
That's it. The first part of this run if completed! Now I think I'll hunt for shiny Type: Null, Poipole and Stakataka, beat Rainbow Rocket episode and then move on to the Battle Tree.
