I looked up from the table I was sitting at when I heard the door open. Hau walked through and shut the door, looking a little miffed.
"What's up?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Nothing."
He looked back at the closed door. "It's just, what's up with that Ryuki guy?"
I shrugged. "Who knows. Some people are just naturally like that."
Hau grinned. "I guess you're right."
He took the seat next to me and glanced around the room. At the moment it held ten of the remaining contestants, including Hau and I, while Ryuki wandered the hallways.
Gladion entered the room. "I thought I'd find you two in here."
I nodded. "When's your battle?"
He looked at a clock hanging on the wall. "Not for another hour. Yours?"
"Ten minutes," I said. "Give or take."
Hau looked bored. "Half hour for me. It's gonna drag."
He turned to look at the mounted TV on the wall and we could see the current battle going on. After several minutes, the final Pokemon was taken out.
I stood. "Well, I'll see you both later."
They nodded and I left the room. I took the right hallway and came to a stop at a gate.
"Here we go," I whispered as the gate began rolling up.
"On this side we have Zeno from Melemele!"
I began my walk out and the crowd cheered.
"And his battle is with none other than Island Champion and supreme golfer Kahili of Ula'ula Island!"
A woman of around thirty walked towards her end of the battlefield, in an Alolan styled golf uniform.
"This will be a full six on six Pokemon battle! Z-moves are allowed! Send out your first Pokemon!"
I remembered what Hau said about her specializing in Flying types and enlarged my first pokeball.
Kahili tossed her pokeball. "Let us fly on these graceful winds, Crobat!"
"Show us what we can do, Lycanroc!" I shouted and tossed out the Rock type.
"Battle, begin!"
*Insert Elite 4 Battle Theme
"Crobat," Kahili yelled. "Start this with Supersonic!"
"Dodge it!" I yelled and Lycanroc zoomed out of the attack's way. "Now use Stone Edge!"
Lycanroc howled and shot dozens of pointed rocks straight at the Flying type.
"Air Slash!"
Crobat sliced the rocks in half with the wind, the pieces falling to earth.
"You're no joke," I said, grinning. "Then let's not hold back! Accelerock!"
