The Knight Challenge Part 3

After leaving Elmososha Town, the group is now riding the boat back to the mainland of the Sevestar Region. The bullies are surprised to see themselves in a desert as they are hot and thirsty, but for Ash and the others, they aren't fazed at the hot weather as they have a lot of energy to continue walking in the sand.

"How are you guys able to go through the hot desert?" Dawn asks as she is sweating. Trenor says, "We have been staying here for a long time, it is obvious that we are used to this kind of weather."

Once they are close to the Isolate Town, the town where Trenor has his gym, Ash says, "So the ones who are having the Ground Type Trial are Paul, Drew, Gladion, and Emily. As for the others, there are multiple choices you can do in the Isolate Town."

As Ash and Trenor take the four people away, May asks, "What can we do in this town? All I can see are buildings made of trains."

Alice says, "Well, a Pokemon Race is holding every month, and it is also a fun sport, too."

Golly says, "Not to mention that there is also a Train museum here just like the one in Anville Town in Unova. So there are a lot of places we can go."

Serena says, "Well, I think I have seen enough races from my mother, I will like to check out the Train museum."

"But I want to see the Pokemon Race, I mean, it sounds very cool." May says.

Then with Insey leading the group to the Train Museum, Lillie takes others to the Pokemon Race Stadium. And for Ash and Trenor, they take the four people to the middle of the desert once more.

"The task you need to do is to find the hidden door located in the sand. Once you find it, you can proceed to the next task." Trenor says, "I was the one that makes the trial."

"Well, it sounds easy." Emily says. "With Garchomp with me, I am sure we can find it."

Gladion says, "I won't be that cocky if I were you, Emily."

As for Drew and Paul, the two are still thinking of something as they have been quiet this whole time. Ash notices their behavior ever since the Knight Challenge and he smiles, knowing that the two of them just need a push to realize their errors and join the bright side.

After searching for the door in the ground, Drew is the one that finds it by having his Flygon use its wings to blow the sand away. Ash opens the door and says, "Now we are going to the next part, follow me."

As they head downwards, they are now at a place with narrow paths. Trenor says, "Now we are in a complicated maze, it was used to prevent thieves from getting our properties hidden underground. But if you can pass it, you can get the Ground Star Badge."

"Are we really going to walk this dark maze?" Paul asks. "Since it might be hard to see in the dark."

"That's the true purpose of this task, we need you to test your strength." Ash replies.

After walking and with the help of both Flygon and Garchomp, they have been taking almost an hour in the maze. They have been walking back to the beginning a lot of times, and eventually, all of them are getting tired except for Ash and Trenor. In the end, they finally walk the right path and they find a door in the end.

"Behind this door is the goal of the maze, you have passed the challenge." Ash says as he gives out the badges to the four of them.

After getting the badge, Drew asks Ash, "Can you tell us what is behind this door? Since we come this far and it will be better to know what are you hiding here in this maze."

"Of course, you come this far and it won't be fair if we didn't let you see the treasure." Trenor says as he opens the door. The four people are shocked to see a lot of gold and jewelry in the room, and Gladion asks, "Are they the real deal?"
