There are no gyms in the Alola region, but instead there is the Alola region's traditional ritual, the Pilgrimage to the Islands.
The so-called island tour is that the challenger tours the four islands, breaks through various trials led by the captain, and finally takes on the final trial with the king and queen of the island.
As long as you pass it, you have completed the challenge of this island.
Of course, it is inevitable that the king and queen of the island will go easy on the challengers.
Lili Town is known as the 'place to thank Pokémon'.
Here live people who are familiar with Tapu Koko, a small town that carries on ancient traditions.
Likewise, this is also the place where Hala, the king of Melemele Island, conducts great trials on challengers.
The town of Lili is particularly lively today, because after a long time, a challenger finally comes to challenge Hala's great trial!
The celebration stage in the center of the town is now crowded with people. A large number of townspeople have rushed here to witness whether this great trial can be successful.
The celebration stage is usually used for the Tapu Koko celebration, but the grand trial is also held here.
Hala, a sturdy man with white hair and beard and wearing a yellow coat, stood on the stage and looked at the girl who was slowly walking towards him.
"Selene, are you ready?"
"Of course! Come on, old man! I will win!"
Straightening her beloved flower straw hat, the bright-eyed and white-toothed girl smiled widely, looking excited and fierce.
"Hehehe… that's a nice expression."
Feeling the girl's strong fighting spirit, Hala couldn't help but laugh softly.
As the king of Melemele Island, he is also the oldest island king in the Alola region.
He was very happy to see a purely excellent junior trainer like Selene. This kid... was much better than his own grandson.
"Then I, the King of the Island, Hala, will personally guide you! Challenger!"
Hala's demeanor suddenly changed, and he raised his right hand to face Selene, his solemn and majestic presence attracting everyone's attention.
Even if he is an excellent junior, he has to defeat him in this trial to move on! Melemele Island. The king of the island. Hala has come to challenge! Selene's first trial officially began, and Hala naturally let her go, after all, Hala is a veteran Elite Four-level trainer.
In the game "Sun and Moon", he is officially one of the Elite Four of Alola, which is evident.
But this is just a big trial, and Hala certainly won't use his full strength to fight a new trainer who has just started traveling.
But even so, it is still not easy to defeat Hala.
However, Selene is not an ordinary trainer! All the onlookers were excited to watch the fierce battle on the celebration stage, especially when they saw Selene's Haxorus defeating Hala's Makuhita, they cheered excitedly.
"Selene really is... a monstrous talent~!"
In the crowd, Kukui, with his arms crossed, couldn't help but sigh, and the "monster" he mentioned was of course a compliment.
No matter what, he felt that this girl who moved from Kanto was truly stunning.
His combat experience grew rapidly, his talent for cultivation was also extremely outstanding, and his combat instincts were like a monster, which simply put Kukui to shame.
He believed that he was also a talented trainer in the past, but compared with Selene today, he felt that he was actually quite inexperienced back then.
Look at him, how long has it been? He has grown to this point.
"Yes, Selene is really amazing." Lillie, who was standing next to her, had a bright smile on her fair and tender face.
"With younger generations like this, Alola should really rise!"
Kukui was filled with joy and longing. Although Selene was originally from Kanto, what did it matter? Now that she had moved to Alola, she was an Alola person!
And when Selene grows up, this "monster" will surely make the world look at her! Kukui has this confidence. It is said that Leon, the undefeated champion of the Galar region, reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted, defeating all opponents and becoming the Galar champion.
But now we have Admiral Selene in Alola, and she is no worse than Leon!
"Hmm? Little Nebby! Don't run around, Little Nebby!"
Lillie was concentrating on watching the battle on the stage when she suddenly noticed that her bag moved and the naughty little Nebby came out of the bag again.
The small Nebby looked left and right, seemed to have determined its position, and floated towards that side swayingly.
Lillie panicked and quickly ran towards Little Nebby.
Because of the great trial, there are too many people here now, and Lillie is afraid that Little Nebby will get lost.
"Excuse me, little Nebby! Little Nebby, where are you?"
When Lillie squeezed out of the crowd, she successfully discovered that she had lost Little Nebby.
Lillie sighed tiredly, but she was used to it, so she started looking around.
According to the habit of the little Nebby, it will not run too far, which is usually the case.
Lilia looked around, but when she saw a tree not far away, she was stunned.
The afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the boy's figure, like the rippling surface of a calm lake. His eyes look forward, and the profile of the girl appears especially soft and bright. His black eyes are soaked in the afterglow, and he smiles charmingly.
He raised one hand, holding a pink candy between his fingers, and fed it to the little guy in front of him. The light and shadow intertwined, and the beauty was like an oil painting reflected in reality.
The girl stared blankly at the boy and Little Nebby. Although it was very noisy around her, she seemed to hear nothing at the moment.
This scene was so harmonious and beautiful that it made her feel a little dazed.
"What a coincidence, we meet again."
Mammon noticed the girl in white dress standing not far away, stood up and greeted her with a smile.
"Mo~mo~"
Seeing that the boy's attention was drawn away, Little Nebby floated in front of him and acted coquettishly with some dissatisfaction.
"Okay, I'll touch you, touch you."
Mammon smiled even more deeply, pinched little Nebby's little face, and took out a candy and fed it into little Nebby's mouth.
"Dear lady, don't you recognize me?"
Seeing Lillie's dazed look, Mammon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Ah... Sorry, sir, I just lost my concentration."
Hearing this, Lillie finally came to her senses, her cheeks blushed, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, saying that she was so rude.
And cute and stuff...
"It's okay, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I just came to see the great trial of the King of the Island, and I unexpectedly met you, Miss." Mammon said with a smile.
"This child is just as energetic as last time."
Mammon's gaze turned to Little Nebby again, and the smile on his lips deepened.
"Yes, little Nebby is very energetic, but it seems to really like you, sir."
Lillie's mood has recovered a little, and she looks at the clingy little Nebby with a strange look on her pretty face.
Come to think of it, this handsome boy seemed to have said last time that his abilities were more appealing to Pokémon.
For Those who don't know: Selene, the heroine of "Sun and Moon" and "Ultra Sun and Moon", is a tough girl who beat Necrozma to his knees in the game and defeated the Rainbow Rocket Team alone. She is one of the most powerful protagonists.
