“To Top a Totem!” quotes from Pokémon

I remember that you can earn Z-crystals by going through an Island Challenge. Isn't that right?

It isn't the only way. But going through the Island Challenge is the most certain way. The key to your success is to pass the Grand Trial of each of the Island's Kahunas.

[finishing his milk] So, how do you do that?

I will answer that with great pleasure. A Grand Trial is a battle between trainer and Island Kahuna. If the trainer wins, the Kahuna acknowledges that trainer's worthiness.

Whoa, sounds like fun. [Be careful, Ash. They are not like the Gym Leaders you have fought in the past.]

According to my data, a Grand Trial is preceded by lesser trials that must be overcome first.

First, the little trials, then boom!

Alright, I think we should go and pay a visit to Hala, the Kahuna of Melemele Island.

Kahuna, I'd like to get a Z-Crystal as soon as I can. I'll need it for when I battle Tapu Koko again.

Again, huh? Ahhh...Ash, if you don't mind, I'd like you to answer a question for me.

A question for me?

I assume you now know that the people of this island have been troubled by a rash of wild Rattata and Raticate, am I right?

Yes, sir.

If you were the person being asked to resolve this problem, what would you do?

Uhhhh...I know! I'd take Pikachu and Rowlet and challenge them all to a battle, then...

But young Ash, are you interested in learning why the Island Challenge was started so many years ago? [Pikachu is seen playing with Hala's Hariyama by Pikachu running around Hariyama's belly] You see, it wasn't simply made to make trainers stronger in battle, it was to raise young people in such a way that they will love and protect the islands of Alola, as well as the many people and Pokémon who inhabit them. [It's tempting to battle but sometimes violence can't always solve problems. There are alternate methods.]

Love all that's here and protect it?

I want you to look for answers that won't only lead you to battle. We'll talk about the Z-Crystal after I've heard what you've come up with.
