"No need to worry Dolos, I'll get this Zorua for you, Chandelure, Will O Wisp! Now, Moonball!" A faint sound of wobbling and a click filled the air "Thanks Ingo!" A young boy's cheer came after the click. "No big deal, it's for my little cousin after all..." Suddenly Dolos woke up, tears drifting down his face. "I miss you Ingo... I'll find you, I won't stop til I do..." Dolos said determined, Loki cuddled next to the boy. "I know you miss him, But we can find him... Once we find our way home... I promise you Loki!" The Zorua cheered. Dolos got up and left his quarters and was greeted by Akari. "You ready?" She said seriously, Dolos shrugged "Sure, what's my trial?"

Akari cleared her voice "Three Pokemon that were under the care of the Survey Corps have escaped the Pastures, you must recollect them from the Obsidian Fieldlands. Professor Laventon will give some items to help you, meet him in the Galaxy Hall!"

Dolos nodded and went inside the hall, Laventon looked at him "There you are my boy, I remembered that I have yet to introduce you to these Pokemon, and seeing as you're starting your trial I will leave one in your care! Meet the Grass Type, Rowlet, Fire Type, Cyndaquil,and Water Type, Oshawott!" Dolos was surprised, but he looked at all three, and chose Oshawott "Seeing as I'm from Unova, Oshawott is a Pokemon I'm familiar with! I'll name you Rotu!"

Who's that Pokemon?

The scalchop on its stomach isn't just used for battle--it can be used to break open hard berries as well.

"Well good to know, you'll need these too, Some Pokeballs and Potions!" The Professor handed Dolos 25 Pokeballs and 10 Potions, Dolos then left, guided by Akari and a Security Corp Member to The Obsidian Fieldlands. "The Pokemon you'll need to round up are Bidoof, Starly, and Shinx. All you have to do is lead them here, Starly are skittish, Bidoof are calm, and Shinx are aggressive. The ones you're looking for have noticeable tags on them. Good Luck!"

Dolos nodded, heading down the hill and spotting a Bidoof with a Pink Tag, he walked up towards the Bidoof, with his hand out and began to pet the Pokemon, it smiled and circled him. "Hey bud, The Galaxy Team misses you, You should head back. They're waiting for you up that hill!" The Bidoof let out a cry before running towards the hill, one down.

Dolos looked around and spotted a Starly with a Blue Tag, He looked around and spotted a Berry Tree, he sent out Loki to pick some berries, knowing that the Zorua is stealthy. Loki came back with 5 Oran Berries and Dolos threw one at the bottom of the hill, the Starly went to the berry and then Dolos scared it uphill, Only one more to go.

Dolos looked around, spotting a Shinx, remembering what Akari said he hid in Tall Grass, throwing a Oran Berry to distract the Shinx, it worked as the Electric Type Pokemon began eating the berry. Dolos then rolled to the Shinx and grabbed it, the Shinx squirmed around in Dolos's Arms, luckily the Security Corps had a collar on it, depleting its electricity and making it unable to use Thundershock. Dolos struggled but got Shinx uphill, Akari looked shocked "You're holding an aggressive beast without even a hint of fear!" Dolos chuckled, "This little guy is so cute, have a berry!" He held an Oran Berry to the Shinx's mouth, the Pokemon sniffed the berry and bit into it then began eating. The Security Corp signaled Dolos to pass Shinx to him, as Dolos tried to, the Shinx refused and bit the Corp and climbed on Dolos's head.

Dolos smiled "Seems like he likes me!" Akari sighed at this "I'll report to Cyllene, Let's head back!" Dolos nodded as the three headed back to Jubilife Village, As Akari and Dolos informed Cyllene of how the trial went, she nodded and looked at the Shinx "And what's this doing on his head?" Akari sighed "When we tried to take the Shinx back it just escaped and ran back to Dolos. It's attached." Cyllene nodded "Well then we'll get a different Shinx, Dolos, you may keep this one, take it as a reward." Dolos nodded, petting the Shinx "I'll name you Sparks!" Cyllene opened a drawer, grabbed a Pokeball and a key and handed it to Dolos. "Use that key to take off the collar." Dolos nodded, and did what he was told to do. The collar came off and Sparks happily nuzzled Dolos.
