Wind and Sky

Kahili kept up with her daily training, even after she came to Pasio.

One day, as she was practicing, she saw a pair of familiar faces.

Selene! Winona! Nice to see you two.

Oh, it's Kahili! Alola!

Hello. Are you training again today?

Yes. I completed my training up in the mountains...

so now I'm working on perfecting my form on flatter ground.

You're working very hard.

Kahili, you're so great at Pokémon battles and golf!

Oh, not at all...

There aren't any golf tournaments here on Pasio, so I'm afraid I'm getting rusty. I'm thinking of adjusting my training regimen.

What were the two of you up to?

We're cloud gazing! Right, Rowlet?

You can get a feel for the wind when you watch the clouds floating by.

Hey, Kahili. Doesn't the sky today remind you of Alola?

Huh?

I'm not sure... It's been a while since I've taken a good look at the sky.

So...if it's OK, do you mind if join you?

Not at all! But what about your training?

I'll adjust it and add in some scheduled rest.

Hmmm! Look at the marvelous composition of these Pokémon that made their way here!

I have to draw them before this opportunity passes me by!

Yeah!

What's all the ruckus?

Guzma! Plumeria! Could you stand over there for a sec?

Uh...

Yes, yes! The cuteness of the Bug-type Pokémon is emphasized by the addition of these two rugged humans! Great composition, Mina!

Ehe!

What are we, statues?

That's the first time I've seen Mina get so excited.

And Guzma really mellowed out, huh?

Yep. Everyone is starting to change as a result of experiencing new things in a new place.

A new place...

I've also done a lot since I moved to Alola.

I made a lot of friends there, and I think that changed me a lot!

That's great to hear, especially as someone who grew up in Alola.

By the way, Elio...have you found the island of Pasio to be a nice change?

Yeah! I think there's a lot to discover here, and loads of people to meet!

I'm gonna keep on challenging myself to do all sorts of things on Pasio.

That's the spirit! I'm rooting for you, Elio.

Crash! Crash! Crasher Wake!

You're amazing, Master Wake!

Looks like that battle sparked a little flame in you, eh, Mr. Masked Royal?

The Masked Royal?! He's here?!

Nah, how could he? I'm sure Molayne just meant something else.

(Shhh! Don't blow my cover!)

If it isn't Professor Kukui!

Perfect timing! I have a message to pass on!

Tell the Masked Royal that I'll be waiting for him in the ring!

Wow, is that a challenge?

Understood. I'll let him know, but I'm sure he'd be more than happy to accept!

Finally, a battle with the Masked Royal!

But obviously, my master's gonna win!

No way! The Masked Royal is!

Absolutely not! It'll be my master! My master!

Guess we can't let our fans down, huh?

Yeah!

The Masked Royal would never lose! Have you heard about his training? It's incredible!

Hm?

In the morning, he wrestles with Bewear!

After lunch, he does push-ups with Machamp!

And at night, he trains by taking Incineroar's Darkest Lariat over and over again!

Selene?! Isn't that stretching the...

REALLY?! That's hard-core!

Right? Well, not that I've seen him train in person, but I hear that's what he does!

I know! Let's go and see what his training is like together sometime!

Looks like I'm gonna have to crank up my workout routine to build more muscle right away...

I guess that's the price we pay to keep the dream alive!

Hey there! I'm stopping by!

Let's hang out!

Sorry, Mallow. Now's not really a great time.

We're making some curry.

And it's not going so well, so we don't have much time to play.

That's what I figured! Don't worry, I brought a special helper with me!

Alola, Siebold, Gloria!

You should let Selene taste that curry!

Huh? But it's not ready yet.

Oh, it'll be fine! Just let her taste it!

Here I go! Digging in!

*munch munch*

The curry still isn't complete, so we can't guarantee it'll taste any good.

Whoa! This is amazing!

The meat and the vegetables balance each other out so perfectly!

And the sauce, the main flavor and life of the curry, matches well with the ingredients!

And this fragrant smell! It just makes you crave more and more!

This curry is AWESOME!

... ... ...

But if you don't mind me mentioning something about the flavor...it's a little spicy.

If there were a little more sweetness, it would add depth to the taste!

Sweetness?! That's it!

We need to sweeten it up to balance out the spice! That's what we were missing!

Thanks, Selene! I think we'll be able to make a great curry now!

Selene the food critic was a huge success!

Ah! That battle was a lot of fun!

Yes, it was a good battle.

My heart's on fire like a Blast Burn!

Kahili! You've gotten stronger again!

I would hope so. I did join the Elite Four at your request, despite my reservations...

But it is rude to face a challenger with anything less than your best performance.

About that, Kahili... Are you sure you're OK with where you are now?

What do you mean?

You know, I was thinking the same thing. After all, you're so strong, and you're the champion of the island challenge...

I bet you'd be a perfect fit to be Alola's Champion!

... ... ...

That's quite flattering.

However, I think I would prefer to remain in the Elite Four.

Really? Why is that?

Well...

That's a secret.

Aw, why won't you tell us?

It's getting late. It's about time you two headed back for the day.

I guess you're right. Shall we?

See you tomorrow, Professor Kukui and Kahili!

I don't need to be the Champion...

After all, the next generation of Trainers, kids like them, are going to blow onto the scene and kick up some wind.

Right, Professor?

Yeah.

They're gonna be the wildest Hurricane anyone could ever imagine!
