You were stood in front of the Ruins Of Conflict, you were hesitant to step into the sacred area and so were your Pokémon.
"Luxray?..." luxray nudged you
"Galvantula." Galvantula said whilst clinging tighter onto your back
"Okay... you guys stay out here, I'll head inside with Galvantula. Keep an eye out for anything, let me know if something happens." You huffed
Eelektross nodded and so did Ampharos before you walked in and stepped on solid rock, prisms of light seemed to be let in through the top of the cave.
Galvantula got off your back quickly and walked alongside you carefully, you saw the entrance to the actual shrine.
It was lit up naturally by the sun, two steps on either side led to the shrine itself where things that represented Melemele and Tapu-Koko were placed.
You walked up the steps and sat down, with both hands on your lap and your head down with your eyes closed.
Galvantula closed his eyes and stood.
After fishing in your pocket you placed a Jaboca Berry on the ground as a peace offering, you didn't want to disrespect Tapu-Koko whether they were your Pokémon or not. It'd be rude.
"Tapu-Koko!" A distant voice said
It echoed throughout the cave and once you opened your eyes you saw Tapu-Koko hovering in front of you happily.
"Tapu-Koko! I'm so glad you're okay and safe! I bring news and you aren't gonna like it too much..." you sighed
The Jaboca Berry was already devoured by Tapu-Koko, you got up and Galvantula jumped onto your back to look over your shoulder and at Tapu-Koko.
"There might be people attempting to uncover alolan secrets along with try to squeeze out information from island guardians and stuff and I kinda don't know what to do and I really hope you can help me out a little-" you said quickly with a gasp at the end.
Tapu-Koko didn't look to happy but the end of that sentence, you expected some sort of shriek but Tapu-Koko regained their composure and just flew around the place.
"Koko." Tapu-Koko stated
"Galvantula?" Galvantula replied
Tapu-Koko nodded at the Pokémon, what were they even talking about? Speaking Pokémon wasn't one of your talents.
"Galvantula nudged your pocket with a leg so you went through it and found your Z-Ring and your Z-Crystal, Tapu-Koko appeared in front of you with something on their left claw.
A yellow Z-Crystal with an odd shell-like figure in the middle was on it, you took the Z-Crystal and realized exactly what it was.
Tapunium-Z, something spoken about in a bunch of old books. A Z-Crystal that allowed the island guardians to perform a special move.
"Really? I don't really think I should be trusted with something so valuable-" you said
"Koko!" Tapu-Koko nodded
You placed the Z-Crystal carefully in the black Z-Ring before showing it off to Galvantula and then to Tapu-Koko happily.
After grabbing an ultra ball you showed it to Tapu-Koko, they came closer and you threw the poke ball into the air to encase it in the poke ball.
Once inside, you picked up the ball and grinned.
You and Tapu-Koko had never exactly been close friends, you were it's trained and that was that. Nothing much to it.
Now that they had gave you the Z-Crystal you felt different.. you and Tapu-Koko were now linked as one. In Sync. (Pokémon Masters EX, anyone know?)
"Let's go, Galvantula! We've gotta tell the others about this!" You exclaimed
You scurried down the steps before running towards the exit, you saw your four Pokémon waiting for you.
"Guys! Look what I've got!" You grinned
Everyone ran to you quickly, they sniffed the new Z-Crystal out of curiosity before roaring happily knowing everything went well with the Island Guardian.
"What're you doing here?" A voice said
You turned and saw a familiar face along with a familiar Pokémon, Gladion and his Umbreon from yesterday.
"Alola, Gladion! If you are blind, there's a shrine right behind me that I came out of, I went to go give an offering to Tapu-Koko. Y'know, what you do usually." You stated
"Leave." Gladion ordered
"Just what I was going to do before you struck a conversation, y'know, your sister really misses you. Your mother doesn't seem like a good person and she's gotta deal with knowing that her family is gone, wouldn't hurt to try and strike a conversation with her the next time you see her. But that's just my opinion." You huffed
Eelektross eyed the Umbreon before turning to you as you walked away, once far enough you began to run to a nearby path that would take you straight back home.
"Let this be our little secret, dad won't be happy knowing that I'm supposed to take care of something as important as the Tapunium-Z." You smiled
Ampharos roared and nodded before swaying his tail which made Luxray move away quickly and Eelektross curl down so he wouldn't get hit by the Ampharos tail.
You swung the door open once you reached your house, dad would be home late since he needed to meet up with Principle Oak for some sort of teaching planning.
"Come out, Tapu-Koko!" You exclaimed
"Tapu-Koko!" Tapu-Koko called
Ampharos greeted Tapu-Koko happily before they hovered towards you, they cawed at you happily before hovering upwards and onto the loft.
"We could all use some sleep after today, we've got the whole day to ourselves tomorrow anyways!" You exclaimed
You climbed up the ladder as your Pokémon got up on their own, Tapu-Koko brought Jolteon and Galvantula up while Elektross snaked up the ladder.
Luxray hopped from one ladder step to another while Tapu-Koko went to go get Ampharos, they were accustomed to how heavy Ampharos was now.
After getting changed into Pyjamas you set the Z-Ring and Z-Crystal on the desk beside your Electrium-Z.
Once you were comfortable you climbed onto your bed and pulled the blanket over you, Luxray laid above the blanket with his head near yours.
Tapu-Koko was set in between both the bed and desk, Eelektross was laying down up against the railing, Ampharos was spread out across the ground while Jolteon was laying down on the desk contently.
The ultra ball was set down on the desk, the same Ultra Ball you used to capture Tapu-Koko a while back.
