Introduction​

"The guardian deities, the Tapus, have protected the islands of Alola for many years. The Tapus are also known to determine who is the strongest of them all, testing a trainer's ability whenever they are challenged."

Listening to your guide describing the Tapus only made you more excited to cross paths with them. The guide stops his boat and looks back at you.

"Which island are we heading to?"

It is time for you to decide which Tapu you want to encounter. Do you have what it takes to become the wielder of them all?

b) Enter The Bird's Nest
c) Enter Twisted World
d) Enter Aquatic Paradise​

[Birkal]

Mirage​

You tell the guide you want to head towards Poni Island, so the boat heads for it.

The dock he parked at was located near a small pond, which you determine is where you need to go. You run headstrong into the forest leaving the guide to wait at his boat.

Running through the forest, you slow down to begin walking and catch a whiff of the fresh scent of the water ahead, motivating you to keep moving. While walking, you become very perplexed as you were pretty sure you smelled water, but instead you are walking through a sandstorm, and it's not registering why. Suddenly, a barrage of rocks are hurled at you and your Pokemon! When the smoke clears, you realize that Serperior has been separated from you and the rest of the team by the rocks, which you determine were hurled by the Hippowdon in front of Serperior. Hippowdon chucks some mud at Serperior, and then bellows, signaling it is time to fight. You figured out how to get around the rocks, but it will take about 2 rounds for this to happen.​

Mirage

zarator has thought this run through: his Serperior was the perfect candidate for this match-up. Being able to raise its Special Attack by using super-effective Grass-type moves is an excellent strategy. Hippowdon makes a dent, but it doesn't seem to be slowing down Serperior anytime soon. This jog through Aquatic Paradise may prove itself to be too simple for such a talented team.

Fire Fang | Giga Impact + Giga Impact | Cooldown (Fire Fang)

Serperior has become an unstoppable wrecking ball thanks to Contrary Leaf Storm. Its accuracy rings true here for both combatants. It allows Hippowdon to send off one final attack before falling.

[Birkal]

River of Blessings

Having dealt with Hippowdon, you take a look around, and realize that the sandstorm you were walking through is completely gone, and none of the effects from it even affected the area. Trying not to confuse yourself, you press onwards.

Walking forward, you come across a river that has 2 different paths across it. The first of them that you notice is a log that might have been from one of the nearby patches of trees. You look further right and see the bridge that spans the gap, noting the possibly poor integrity of the bridge since it is a wooden bridge. You know you need to get across the river, it just becomes a manner of how you are getting across the river.
​

Pick Your Poison​

a) Take the log bridge
b) Take the wooden bridge

zarator​

 

[zarator]

a) Take the log bridge

 

[Birkal]

River of Blessings

You decide that the log bridge is probably the safest choice of passage, and you embark across it. While you are walking, a group of Skrelp pop out of the water and lash at your team with their tails, poisoning the team. It appears the rattling of the log had bothered them. You shrug off the attacks and get across safely, then take time to tend to your team.

Connection

After the river, you walk through a very delicate path, lined with trees and bushes. Once you emerge from the thicket, you come upon yet another pond. At this pond you see an Azumarill and a Gastrodon playing together in the water. You remember what happened last time you tried interrupting a play session in the water, so you instead try to just around the pond. They notice you and become highly offended that you didn't even try to play with them. As a result, they hop out the water and rush your team!​

Connection

"Fight back! Never surrender, friend!" | "Hyrghh."

Azumarill: Encore (Venusaur) | Bounce (Venusaur)

Gastrodon: Protect (Self) | Mirror Coat + Mirror Coat

The battle with the Guardians begins! These water denizens are up to something tricky, as zarator's Pokemon turn towards Azumarill while Gastrodon is protective itself. It looks like they're preparing for a second action assault, as the over-powered Encore rears its ugly head. Serperior and Roserade do a great deal of damage to Gastrodon, which it unfortunately uses to obliterate Roserade in one move. To make matters worse, Venusaur is paralyzed from a super-effective Bounce from Azumarill. Things could be a lot worse though, I suppose!​
