Sun's POV

The boat ride to Poni was nice. Lillie seemed to enjoy the sights of the ocean as we made our way to the island. Our hands got really close to each other's. The boat's seats were pretty close, after all. Finally we made it to Poni Island.
Lillie hopped off the boat first, but before I could follow, Gladion stopped me.

"Wait up." He said before I got up.

"Yeah, whatcha need, Gladion?" I returned.

"Uh..." It sounded like he was having a hard time saying what he wanted to say.
"Um, Take... Take care of Lillie for me, okay?" He finally said.

"O-Of course!" I replied.

"Don't try anything funny, got it?" He said.

"Yes, of course!" I said back. Gladion laughed.

"You know. Thinking on it, if it's you, it probably wouldn't be that bad. Better than it being Hau, that's for sure." Gladion said, grinning.

"What do you mean?" I said.

"Oh, nothing. Take care. And remember what I told you. Don't try anything." Gladion said, giving me a stare down while gesturing me off the boat. Gladion had a different aura than last last night when we talked. But what was he talking about?

I walked out onto the docks to meet up with Lillie.

"Sun. I'm OK. You don't have to worry. I know what I have to do now." She smiled.
"And... I don't know. Maybe it sounds strange, but... I'm kind of excited." She said, blushing a little bit. I could see it clear as day now that she no longer had her big hat. She looked so amazing.

A woman with what looked like pink paint on her face walked up to us. She had long hair flowing on the sides of her face, as well as paint splotches on her shirt, similar to her face.

"I'm Mina. I'm the local captain." She said. Mina then began to talk about her trial, but we then told her that we're not here for that. We asked for where the Kahuna was and she told us to find Hapu along the Ancient Poni Path. We thanked her, and started to make our way there.

On the way, I battled a few trainers. Lillie supported me through them all, of course. She healed my Pokemon and rooted for me on the sidelines as we moved along. Finally we made it to the path to find Mudsdale waiting there.

"Wow... Pokémon Trainers really do amaze me. It seems like a hard path to walk, and even so, you don't let yourself be held back by the fear of seeing your Pokémon friends get hurt... You just keep striving forward together..." Lillie looked down, thinking about something probably. "Together..." I heard her say under her breath.

"Oh! Been a while, Sun. And you brought Lillie along, too?" Hapu said, walking out of the hause next to us.

"Yes. It's good to see you, Hapu!" Lillie said to her.

"You look different...like you're ready to go all out in something now." Hapu said, studying Lillie.

"Thank you, Hapu. I've finally discovered what I need to do. So this is my Z-Powered form!" Lillie smiled.

"Ho! Then you do your best, Lillie." Hapu returned.

Hapu then explained how there was no kahuna on Poni, but told us to follow her to the ruins. There we saw Hapu being granted the title of Kahuna. Hapu was now the kahuna of Poni Island. Hapu then told us about Solgaleo, the Legendary Pokemon, and the Alter of the Sunne. She also told us of a flute, counterpart of the one we already have, located on Exeggutor Island. She said that we have to use both flutes at the alter to give Solgaleo power.
