Day 91

While exploring Ula Ula Island, I caught a colorful Bruxish before stepping into the eerie Thrifty Megamart to face the sixth island trial, hosted by Acerola. The trial’s Totem Pokémon was Mimikyu, and the battle quickly turned intense.

I opened with Metang, using its Z-Move, Corkscrew Crash, but all it managed to do was break Mimikyu’s disguise. Mimikyu struck back with a harsh Shadow Claw, forcing me to switch to Incineroar just as Mimikyu summoned a Banette. Incineroar made quick work of Banette with Darkest Lariat, but Mimikyu still loomed. Knowing it carried Play Rough, I swapped in Mudsdale, who began pounding away with Heavy Slam. When Mimikyu summoned Jellicent, I switched to Tsareena to handle the watery threat with Trop Kick, before rotating back to Mudsdale to finish off Mimikyu with another Heavy Slam. With that, the trial was complete.

Afterward, I caught a Mimikyu of my own before leaving the haunted shop. But my path soon crossed with Team Skull again. I defeated Plumeria in battle, but she revealed they had stolen a young boy’s Yungoose and taken it to their base in Po Town. Refusing to let it go, I set off toward their hideout. Along the way, I caught a Floette near Ula Ula Town, preparing myself for the showdown ahead.
