Pokémon The Series: Sun & Moon

Guiding an Awakening! (21x33)

:

The time has come for Ash to undergo the Ula'ula Grand Trial against Island Kahuna Nanu, but this time it's not like anything he's ever done before ... he must face three Pokémon in a row using only one of his own! Ash chooses Lycanroc as his Pokémon, and Nanu brings out his first Pokémon ... Krookodile. Krookodile deliberately dirties Lycanroc, but Lycanroc keeps its temper, takes Krookodile down with the newly-learned move Counter after several unsuccessful Accelerock and finally defeats it. Nanu's second Pokémon is Sableye, who has a powerful Shadow Claw move but is eventually defeated by Lycanroc's Stone Edge, the whole battle being watched by Tapu Bulu who drops a berry to give Lycanroc needed energy. Nanu's final Pokémon is an Alolan Persian, but this time both Ash and Lycanroc are goaded to the point where Lycanroc loses its temper again and attacks Ash! Ash calms Lugarugan and Lycanroc uses its rage to give it extra power. Nanu powers Persian up with the Dark Z-Move Black Hole Eclipse, but Ash counters with his own Rock Z-crystal and Lycanroc uses Continental Crush to defeat Persian. With Ash having won the Grand Trial, Nanu gives him a Lycanium Z crystal. Tapu Bulu, delighted, gives Lycanroc another power berry, and Ash and his team return to Melemele Island.
