pg 01
　???: Now, now, would you please look over here?
　???: Just when I’m finally able to video call my great-grandson…

　???: I’m sorry, Sun. Looks like they’re too prideful to listen.
　Sun: Nah! It’s okay, Gramps!

　Sun: I’m excited just to see rare Pokémon!!
　Gramps: Rare?
　Gramps: Oh, right… These Meowth are pretty different from the ones you 　
　know.
　Sun: Yeah! Those ones’ fur and color definitely seem high class!

　Gramps: These Pokémon were given as an offering to a royal family long,
　long, ago.
　Gramps: Since they were spoiled and raised in luxury, they seem to have
　become pretty selfish.

　Sun: That’s so cool!
　Sun: I wanna go visit there someday!

pg 02-03

　Moon (temp.): The warm resort region…
　Moon: Alola.
　Moon: Blue skies, blue seas…
　Moon: Sparkling beaches…
　Moon: Bright-colored flowers blooming everywhere…
　Moon: And finally….
　Moon: These tropical clothes.

　Moon: Sigh… None of it suits my character. Don’t you think, Rotom?

　Moon: Well, it’s fine. Let’s hurry up and finish the delivery…

　Sun: Watch out!!
　Moon: Hm?

pg 04

　Sun: Whoops! Sorry about that!

　Sun: You all right?
　Moon: Eww! What’s this slimy stuff!?

　Sun: I was doing my job, “Pyukumuku throwing.”
　Sun: But as you can see, they’re slimy, so this one slipped loose.

　Moon: …Compensation.
　Sun: Huh?

　Moon: Even though I have an important delivery to make,
　Moon: You got me all sticky and slimy. Compensate for my clothes!

　Sun: C-Compensate!?
　Sun: You mean you want me to pay you!?

　Sun: Mm…
　Moon: What!?

pg 05

　Sun: But y'know…
　Sun: That slimy stuff is actually a great moisturizer!

　Sun: Lots of celebrities use it for skin care. You could try it…
　Moon: It’s true! My skin is so soft and smooth! I should actually be thanking
　you…

　Moon: Not!!

　Sun: You’re doing it wrong! You’re supposed to throw Pyukumuku into the
　sea! As far as you can, too!
　Moon: What kind of job is “Pyukumuku throwing!?”

　Sun: The sea cucumber Pokémon, Pyukumuku.
　Sun: It’s cute, but they say that when there’s a lot of them on the beach,
　tourists get freaked out.

　Sun: Look.

　[These Pokémon line the beaches. The sticky mucous that covers their
　bodies can be used to soothe sunburned skin. How convenient!]

pg 06

　Sun: Not to mention, it’s a trait of Pyukumuku’s that once they find a place
　that they like, they stay there.
　Sun: Even if they run out of food.

　Sun: That’s why throwing them back into the sea is good for them.

　Moon: By the looks of it, your left leg’s broken, right?
　Moon: Why do you have to work?

　Sun: Since I broke my leg, I haven’t been able to do any jobs except this.
　Moon: Why do you go this far…?

　Sun: Well you see, I’ve gotta save 100 million yen as soon as possible.

　Moon: 100 million yen!?

　Sun: That’s right. I can’t do compensation, but I can make this up to you! I’ll
　be done with work soon, so would you mind waiting for me?

pg 07

　Sun: All right! It’s all clean!!

　Grunt 1: That’s the end of it!

　Grunt 1: Time’s up, part-timer.
　Grunt 1: Did ya finish your work?

　Grunt 1: You were to get the beach clean, not a single Pyukumuku
　remaining.
　Grunt 1: If you didn’t, we won’t pay you.

　Sun: I did! Check and make sure!
　Grunt 1: Hey.

pg 08

　Grunt 1: Hm…?
　Grunt 1: Looks like there ain’t one in sight.

　Grunt 1: Here’s the money as promised.
　Sun: Sweet!

　Grunt 1: Hm?

　Grunt: Well, lookie here…
　Grunt 1: There’s still one left.
　Grunt 1: Looks like I can’t pay ya after all.

pg 09

　Sun: No way!

　Grunt: Didn’t you know?
　Grunt 1: This beach is Team Skull’s precious territory.
　Grunt 1: There’s a festival we’re supposed to make big bucks off of
　tomorrow, and if no customers come from the beach, it’ll be a huge loss.

　Grunt 1: …Well, we’re not that bad.
　Grunt 1: We could give you another chance.

　Sun: R-Really?
　Grunt 1: Yeah. We’ll let ya keep throwin’ Pyukumuku for the rest of your life.
　Grunt 1: Your pay’ll be half… No, 10 percent of what it is now.

　Moon: Why don’t you decline?
　Moon: I saw the person behind him drop a Pyukumuku out of her pockets.

pg 10

　Sun: Stop! Shh!
　Moon: Just look, her hands have slime all over them!

　Moon: Oh? Are you Mr. Part-timer’s girlfriend?

　Grunt 1: Hey, you all right, Salandit?
　Grunt 1: Aw, your tail is broken…

　Grunt 1: If you work for us, you won’t have to pay the medical bill.
　Grunt 2: Well, keep giving your best.

　Sun: …Sigh.

pg 11

　Sun: It’s probably healed by now.

pg 12

　Grunt 1: You pickin’ a fight!?

　Moon: It’s blocking all their attacks!

　Sun: All right! Let’s finish ‘em!

　Sun: “Pay Day!!”

pg 13

　Grunt 1: Y… You!!

　Grunt 1: You better remember this!!

　Sun: Now I’ve done it.
　Sun: I can’t work on the beach any more after this.

　Moon: Is there any point in you sucking up to those jerks for work?
　Sun: There is.

　Moon: For the 100 million yen? What are you going to use it for?
　Sun: That’s a secret.

　Sun: Now to make things up to you.
　Sun: You said you had an important delivery to make, right?
　Sun: How about I do it for you?
　Moon: That’d help, but… Are you sure?

　Sun: Not a problem!
　Sun: My main line of work is delivery!
pg 14

　Sun: So, where’s it going?
　Moon: The Kukui laboratory.
　Sun: Cool! I’ll use a Ride, then.

　Sun: Er… It seems like there’ll be a lot of rocky roads, so… maybe a Charge.

　Sun: Then there’s your wet clothes, right?
　Sun: We can dry them with this guy.

　Sun: En!

pg 15

　Moon: Wah!
　Moon: What a blaze (炎 honoo)!

　Moon: Is it… En (炎 en)… because of the blaze?
　Sun: Nope.

　Sun: It’s En…
　Sun: From 100 million yen (￥/円 en)!!

　Sun: Err… The Pyukumuku throwing job was a minus… “Pay Day” makes a
　plus…
　Sun: Take away the money I still need…

　Sun: All right!
　Sun: I’ve got a positive balance!

　Sun: My name’s Sun!!
　Sun: You can call me…
　Sun: Sun the Courier!

Plot summary:

Spoiler: Plot summary

At Kukui’s Science Lab, Moon is shocked that the professor is someone who bares his chest and gets thrown out of houses with his Pokemon. Kukui approaches Sun about his great product, and it appears that Sun is collecting the slime from Pyukumuku and selling them as cosmetic products to the women on Melemele, proving to be a big hit. Kukui orders 20 bottles for his own wife, and while Sun is exhilarated for more money, Moon is annoyed. Before Sun could explain Moon’s identity, Kukui and Rowlet get sent floating in bubbles made by Popplio, and Moon immediately freaks out. She hurriedly pierces Kukui’s balloon with her arrow, but the man simply cheers at how great Popplio’s skills are, chimed in by Sun. Moon demands to know what is going on, and Kukui finally asks who she is. Sun reveals her to be the item he delivers, and Moon formally introduces herself. Kukui breaks into tears of joy upon seeing Rotom, since it is rare in Alola, and Sun only wants his receipt signed as soon as possible. He activates his Ride Pager, and we learn that Tauros vanishes instantly because the Pager apparently has some sort of remote transfer system that sends Tauros back to the ranch.

Kukui gets Sun and Moon into his lab, and Sun doesn’t understand why he is still needed. Kukui starts explaining about Rotom and its formes (which Moon is aware of), and Sun wonders if it could become Abacus Rotom or Piggy-bank Rotom. Kukui reveals that there are only 5 known formes of Rotom so far, but some genius young inventor in Kalos (Clemont?) has invented the Pokedex Sun currently holds, which can be assimilated by Rotom. Since Rotoms are not found in Alola, Kukui sent a request to the whole nation for one. Moon reveals that Rotom isn’t really her Pokemon, but was bestowed upon it because the Rotom is said to be weaker than normal and would not tolerate an electronic transfer. Thus, as a pharmacist, she delivered it personally and also optimized its condition. They finally get Rotom to try entering the Dex, but upon touching it, Rotom speeds away in disgust and anger. Kukui wonders what is wrong, and discovers that the Dex is kinda of sticky and smelly. Sun only then reveals that he has not only dropped it in the excreta of Mudsdale but also dropped it in the sea and river and also touched it when his hands were slimy with Pyukumuku’s slime. Kukui breaks into a fury, and attacks him with Flying Press, Dynamic Punch and Double Kick, while Moon watches with an annoyed look.

At Iki Town, Olivia and Nanu get into a match with Hala as the referee, and we see Lycanroc (night) vs Alolan Persian. Nanu has the upper hand, and Olivia calls him tricky, but Nanu says she has so much to learn, whether it is battles or with love. The remark quickly ticks off Olivia, and as Hala watches in horror, she releases the Z move Continental Crush, while Nanu retaliates with Black Hole Eclipse. Hala cuts in to stop them and gets hit (surprised how it didn’t kill him), and his Bewear catches him from his fall. Olivia apologizes immediately, and Hala thinks this at least means their stage can stand powerful moves. Nanu snickers again, and thinks the stage is certainly sturdy since it can take Olivia’s rampage, causing Olivia to cry out in fury. The Kahunas then reveal that they shall fight some of the young Alolan trainers tomorrow, being their new hope, at the Z Festival. Whoever emerged victorious shall take on the Island challenges as a means to pacify the Tapus. Hala mentions that all the Kahunas and Captains all possess the Z ring and have fought the Tapu. However, since the Tapus are clearly no ordinary opponent, it soon became the Festival Battle which is a fight dedicated to the Tapus serving a similar purpose. Hala thinks the Tapus must be pacified in order for the residents to feel safe, but Nanu wonders if they can really be pacified this way since they don’t even know why they are angry in the first place. Hala agrees, and reveals that he’s going to call upon Kahili, since they would probably need foreign support as well.

Meanwhile, back at Kukui’s, Sun emerges from the lab in torn clothes and a bruised eye, and informs Moon that he has finally retrieved Rotom after falling off cliffs and trees. Moon heals his wounds without charging him, and Sun wonders if she plans to go back to her region. Suddenly, Rowlet intercepts them, and seems rather acquainted with Moon. Earlier, after Sun chased after Moon, they realized Rowlet was still trapped in Popplio’s bubble, and after rescuing Rowlet, Moon healed it with medicine since it became cold after staying in the bubble for so long. She also learned from Kukui that it is mostly nocturnal, which is similar to her. Sun laughs that Moon is certainly ‘dark’, and Moon hits him in the face with a handful of sand. They then notice the fire torches in Iki Town from afar, and Sun tells Moon about the Z Festival, though he has no idea what is is exactly.

The next morning, Sun is in the middle of the delivery and stops by Kukui’s. Kukui apparently hasn’t slept the whole night because he was fixing the Dex and demands to know if Sun actually encountered Tapu Koko (he shows him a printed paper with its picture). Apparently, the Dex would not have identified it since it doesn’t have its info, and Kukui angrily reminds Sun that he was supposed to speak up when he sees an unidentifiable Pokemon, which Sun obviously forgot. Kukui talks about the festival and Hala, whom Sun doesn’t know again, and Kukui appoints Sun as one of the challengers who shall take place in the Festival Battle, despite Sun’s protest that he still has work to do. At Iki, the Kahunas look through the challengers’ photos, including Sun, Lillie, Hau, the Masked Royal, the male Skull Grunt (and someone else since they said there would be 6, appears to be Gladion)…

Cover for ch. 3

Spoiler: Ch. 3 translation

pg 01

　Sun: Professoooor!
　Kukui: Yo! If it isn’t Sun!!

　(Moon: Professor!?)
　(Moon: This person is Professor Kukui!?)

　(Moon: Why isn’t he wearing anything underneath his lab coat!?)
　(Moon: Why did he come through the roof with those Pokémon!?)
　(Moon: Why? Why?)

　Kukui: Right, Sun! Be grateful! That thing of yours sold! We’re out of stock!
　Sun: My “thing”? What would that be?

　Kukui: The Pyukumuku mucus moisturizer you bottled!
　Kukui: It’s a big hit with the ladies on Melemele!

pg 02

　Kukui: My wife liked it so much that she bought 20!
　Kukui: Here’s your money.
　Sun: For real!? That’s great!

　Sun: Stock is zero! I’ve got a positive balance!

　Moon: Hey, do you mind…?

　Sun: Oh, right! Sorry, miss.

　Sun: Professor, this is…

　Sun: Wah!

　Sun: Huh? I can’t hear you!

　Moon: Idiot!
　Moon: If we don’t hurry up and save him, he’ll…!

pg 03

　Kukui: Huff… Huff… Did you see that, Sun!? That was Popplio’s bubble
　balloon!
　Sun: I did! How was it!?
　Kukui: You really don’t know a move’s power until you experience it yourself!

　Moon: What are you doing!?

　Kukui: Who is she?
　Moon: Whoops!

　Sun: I’m Sun the Courier! I’ve come with a delivery for Professor Kukui!
　Sun: The goods are this girl and…

　Kukui: Delivery?

pg 04

　Moon: It’s nice to meet you, Professor Kukui.
　Moon: My name is Moon…

　Moon: And this is Rotom.

　Kukui: Oohhhh!!

　Sun: Don’t say “Nice to meet you”. The greeting we use in Alola is like this…
　Sun: Alooolaaa!
　Moon: Let go.

　Kukui: I was waiting for you!!

　Kukui: Amazing! incredible!!

　Sun: You’re seriously crying over this?
　Kukui: Of course I am, Sun!
　Kukui: It’s a valuable species that isn’t found in Alola!
　Kukui: This Rotom, that is!

　Sun: Alright. Would you hurry and sign or stamp here?

　Kukui: There!

　Sun: Delivery complete!!

pg 05

　Moon: You changed back to normal in an instant.
　Moon: Tauros disappeared, too.

　Moon: How does that work!?
　Sun: After Tauros returns to the Ride Pager, it’s “transferred” back to the 　“pasture”… I think?*

　Kukui: Sun!! Moon!!
　Kukui: Over here!!

　Sun: Huh!? I finished my job, this shouldn’t have anything to do with me!
　Kukui: It has everything to do with you! Get your PokéDex out!

pg 06

　Sun: The heck is this?

　Moon: Is this an illustration related to Rotom’s forms?

　Kukui: Ooh! You know your stuff!

　Kukui: Rotom’s body is made of plasma, and it’s known for its ability to
　inhabit nearby machines.
　Kukui: Not only that, but when it inhabits them, it uses them as its body and
　changes form.*
　Kukui: If a Rotom inhabits a washing machine, it becomes a “Wash Rotom,”
　if it inhabits a refrigerator, it becomes a “Frost Rotom,” and so on.*

　Sun: So, if it inhabits an abacus it becomes an “Abacus Rotom,” and if it
　inhabits a savings box it becomes a “Savings Rotom”…?

　Moon: It won’t. Neither of those are machines, you know.

pg 07

　Kukui: Until recently, Rotom has only been confirmed to inhabit five different
　electrical appliances…*
　Moon: …
　Kukui: However, there’s someone who’s been researching whether or not it’s
　possible it can inhabit any more.

　Kukui: That person who is known as the “Inventor Boy of Kalos’” invention…*
　Kukui: Sun, I’ve already given it to you.

　Kukui: It’s that PokéDex!!

　Moon: So then Rotom will…
　Kukui: Right!

　Kukui: Like I said before, Rotom haven’t been found in Alola.
　Kukui: So, we searched the entire region for people willing to help us out.
　The result…

　Sun: Was you coming here, huh?
　Sun: Does that mean Rotom is your Pokémon?
　Moon: No.

pg 08

　Moon: When I heard about the situation, this Rotom was somewhat weak…
　Moon: …And couldn’t handle being transferred.
　Moon: So I, being a pharmacist, was chosen to escort it here.

　Kukui: That means you gave it constant attention to make sure it was in
　good condition, then?
　Kukui: If so, it should be in perfect health, right?

　Moon: Of course.

　Kukui: All right!!
　Kukui: Let’s get started, then!

　Kukui: Sun, put your PokéDex here.
　Sun: All righty.

pg 09

　Kukui: Now, Rotom!
　Kukui: Hop in!!

　Moon: It seems pretty interested.
　Kukui: Perfect!

　Kukui: Oh!
　Kukui: Oh!
　Kukui: Oh!

　Kukui: Whaaaaaat!?

　Kukui: How? Why?
　Kukui: What didn’t you like!?

pg 10

　Kukui: Hm?
　Kukui: It’s kind of sticky and scratched up… It a little smelly, too.

　Sun: Ahh, that must be from when I dropped it in Mudsdale crap.
　Sun: And when I dropped it in the water during work and touched it in the
　middle of Pyukumuku chucking.

　Kukui: Flying Press!!

　Sun: Now you’ve done it! Dynamic Punch!!
　Kukui: Double Kick!!
　Moon: I should go home.

　Hala: Right!
　Hala: Exchange glances!*

pg 11-12

　Hala: Begin!!

　Olivia: Lycanroc, Rock Climb!!

　Nanu: Already jabbing at me, huh?
　Nanu: You’re as impatient as ever.

　Nanu: Guess we’ll start off with Nasty Plot.

　Nanu: Now, Dark Pulse.

　Olivia: Attacking after raising Special Attack?
　Olivia: Quit beating around the bush!

　Nanu: Heh…
　Nanu: It’s called “strategizing.” You do it in battles and relationships. But I
　guess that’s impossible for you.

pg 13

　SFX: Snap

　Hala: Olivia! Are you going to use full force!?
　Hala: There’s no need to go that far…!

　 Olivia: Continental Crush!!

　Nanu: Hey, hey. If you go all-out right off the bat…
　Nanu: Even men will run from you.
　(Nanu: Good grief.)

　Nanu: Black Hole Eclipse.

pg 14

　Hala: Gaaahh!!

　Olivia: Hala!
　 Lycanroc: Tch.
　Nanu: Shoot…

　Olivia: I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
　Hala: No, no. In full force battles, you shouldn’t hold back in the arena.
　Hala: You don’t seem to have any problems in the strength test.

　Nanu: It’s not an arena…
　Nanu: It’s a fighting stage…*
　Nanu: …isn’t it?

　Nanu: Well, you’re certainly well-versed in improvisation. On a fighting stage 　this well-made, it should be no problem if you go wild, Olivia.
　Olivia: Urgh!!

pg 15

　Hala: All right. Now we’ve checked the “fighting stage”.*
　Hala: It can make its debut at tomorrow’s festival.

　Hala: And finally…
　Hala: Following the conclusion…
　Hala: …We met earlier…

　Hala: Tomorrow, we will have our candidates…
　Hala: The youth of Alola…
　Hala: Fight!!

pg 16

　Hala: We will select the individuals that display the greatest strength as
　representatives…
　Hala: …and have them travel the four islands to calm the Tapus’ rage.

　Nanu: Imitating the Island Challenge tradition, huh?

　Hala: We Kahunas, and Trial Captains…
　Hala: …All own Z Rings.
　Hala: In other words, we have battled directly with the Tapus.

　Olivia: The Tapus won’t fight the same person twice.
　 Olivia: Originally, the battles that take place during the festival are dedicated
　to them, so…
　Olivia: …I think it should be fine.

　Olivia: When the Tapus are calm…
　 Olivia: …the people can live at ease.

　Hala: If the Tapus continue to show up in towns and exercise their power, the 　people will become uneasy.
　Hala: We must calm the Tapus as quickly as possible!

　Nanu: But are you really fine with just that?
　Hala: What are you trying to say, Nanu?

pg 17

　Nanu: Not even we know why the Tapus are angry.

　Hala: Of course…
　Hala: That’s why I’ve come up with a counter-plan.
　Hala: We will determine the source of their rage.

　Hala: For that purpose, I’ve contacted Kahili.
　Hala: Alola’s problems should be handled by Alolans.
　Hala: I will gather the people who are currently outside the region.*

　Sun: Man, I give up.
　Sun: He got crazy mad at me.
　Moon: Of course he did.

　Sun: But Rotom got here safely, didn’t it?

　Moon: You’re a mess.
　Sun: That’s ‘cause I ran around a lot! Falling off of cliffs and out of trees…
　Hahaha!!

pg 18

　Moon: I’ll fix you up.
　Sun: For free?
　Moon: Of course.
　Sun: Then please.

　Moon: So has Rotom inhabited the PokéDex yet?
　Sun: Not quite.

　Sun: The professor was taking apart the PokéDex to clean it.
　(Sun: Ooh, it doesn’t hurt!)
　Moon: How awful.

　Sun: So what’re you gonna do, miss?
　Sun: You got Rotom to the professor, so you have nothing more to do, right?
　Sun: You going home?

　Sun: If so, I’ll take you to a hotel or port.
　Sun: For cheap, too.

　Sun: Wah!

pg 19

　Sun: Huh? That Rowlet…
　Sun: You two sure get along.

　Moon: You went to chase after Rotom, right?
　Moon: After that…

　Sun: I’m sorry! I’ll get Rotom back in return, alright!?

　Moon: ?
　Moon: What?

　Moon: Eek!
　Moon: Oh no!!

pg 20

　Sun: It was sneezing?
　Moon: It got cold after being in the bubble balloon for too long.

　Sun: So you made it some medicine?
　Moon: That’s right.

　Sun: Y’know, I thought Rowlet wouldn’t have a problem fighting Popplio
　because it’s a water type, but Rowlet’s always the one that gets beaten up
　instead.
　Moon: Isn’t that because it’s daytime?

　Sun: Huh?

　Moon: I asked the professor about it earlier.
　Moon: This little guy… Rowlet is nocturnal.
　Moon: It uses photosynthesis to store up energy during the day and
　becomes active at night.*

　Moon: Just like me.
　Moon: I don’t like daytime. I like nighttime.

　Sun: I get it!
　Sun: I mean, you are kinda depressing.

pg 21

　Sun: My eyes, my eyes!
　Moon: Oh? What’s wrong?

　Moon: Fire?
　Moon: I wonder what from?

　Sun: Oh, that? That’s the Iki Town bonfire.
　Sun: There’s a festival tomorrow, after all.
　Sun: Apparently the flames don’t go out even if they light it the night before.
　Moon: Is that so?

　Moon: A “Festival”…
　Moon: Those people from this afternoon said something about that too.
　Sun: Yeah! It’s a real grand one that lots of people attend!

　Sun: It’s called the “Full Force Festival”!

　Moon: “Full Force”? What’s that supposed to mean?
　Sun: No idea.
　Moon: You have no idea about anything, do you?

pg 22

　Sun: That’s fine with me as long as I can have fun!
　Sun: If you’re not in a rush to go home, you should go see it, miss!

　Sun: There! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!

　Sun: Heave-ho, heave-ho!

　Kukui: Sun!
　Sun: Yo! Alola, professor!

　Sun: You seem tired.
　Sun: Did you get the PokéDex clean? Did Rotom go in it?

pg 23

　Kukui: Whose fault do you think it is that I had to stay up all night?
　Sun: Sorry, sorry! What did you need?

　Kukui: Did you encounter a Tapu yesterday!?

　Sun: Ahh, that’s what it’s called? I did.

　Kukui: I told you when I gave you the PokéDex didn’t I? To report to me
　immediately if you ran into any Pokémon it couldn’t recognize!?
　Sun: I was so caught up in delivering Rotom that I forgot.

　Sun: But is it really that big of a deal!?
　Kukui: This case especially. Do you know Hala the Kahuna?
　Sun: Nope.
　Kukui: Well, he told me to be wary of this Pokémon, and to tell him if I got
　any information on any sightings of it.

　Kukui: That and one more thing.

pg 24

　Kukui: There’s going to be a Pokémon battle event related to the Tapus at
　today’s festival.
　Kukui: He said the more the merrier, so I went ahead and registered you.
　Sun: Whaaa-!?

　Sun: Why would you do that!? I have work today!

　Hala: Hm.

　Hala: The battles we will dedicate to the Tapus at the Full Force Festival…
　Hala: Our current applicants…
　Hala: …Are these six!

[Pokemon Trainer]

This month's chapter is out!!
Sun, Moon and the professor arrives at Akala!

 

[Pokemon Trainer]

This month’s SM summary, courtesy of Coronis:

At the Pokemon Center on Akala, Moon learns from the Totem Pokemon from Lana and Mallow, while Sun and Kiawe are outside comparing their bank account balances (Sun deposits at Bank Spoink while Kiawe at Bank Alola). Sun sees the little sum Kiawe has saved for his overseas studies, and Kiawe also sees just how little Sun has saved for the 100 million margin. Moon drags Sun back into the Pokemon Center by using Grubbin’s silk threads, and thinks he should learn about the Totems himself since he is the one doing the Challenge after all. Lana explains about an 8-meter creature in the waters of Brooklet Hill which is troubling the residents since it drags away rods, beach balls, and floats. Sun wonders why as local powerful trainers, the Captains, won’t take care of the creature themselves. Lana starts to cry upon the question, and Moon thinks she must have her reasons and Sun decides not to ask any further.

Kiawe excuses himself to work, and Sun wonders if he could perhaps part-time in the mart as well. Moon keeps reminding Sun of his ‘mission’, and Sun asks why Moon is sticking around instead of going home, thinking that she must feel bored. Rotom-Dex is quite annoyed with Sun’s attitude, and Moon alerts Sun to the fact that they actually don’t have the Mirage Berries they are supposed to deliver to the Tapus. Sun freaks out, and asks for Moon’s help to find the berry (since she seems bored). Moon agrees easily, much to Sun’s shock, and Moon reveals that part of the reason she came to Alola is actually to find certain berries that only grow in the region, which is why she is touring the islands for her own reason, but only decides to help out Sun’s mission as a bonus. Sun is worried about her charge for 'tagging along’, but Moon says she doesn’t charge. Moon then giggles to herself, and we learn that Kukui actually personally requested her to help Sun find the Berries (since he believed Sun may not find them). The Pokedex was actually her reward for agreeing to the deal. Mallow then decides to bring Moon to the Lush Jungle, while Sun heads off to Brooklet Hill with Lana.

At the Dimensional Research Lab, Kukui finds the document Burnet is looking for (the one with Palkia, Giratina and Bronzong). He contacts her via video conference (Burnet is at Kukui’s lab on Melemele with Lillie), and she wants him to digitalize the first 10 pages for her. Burnet learns about Sun and Moon’s progress, and reveals that Lillie is busy helping her fix the holes in the house which Kukui created. She thinks this helps to keep the girl occupied and suggests Kukui formally hire Lillie as his assistant since he will be repeatedly blasting holes in the house that needs fixing anyway. Burnet informs Kukui that she has learnt from old scripture that the Pokemon Lillie carries around is a legendary Pokemon called Cosmog. She thinks Lillie may not even know what it is, but she suspects that whoever Lillie is running away from has something to do with the Cosmog.

At Brooklet, Sun slips on the planks and drops a coin into water. He freaks out, and Lana tells him to forget it as it’s only 1 yen. However, Sun argues that 1 yen is extremely important, especially when you only have 199 yen and wants to buy a 200 yen Pokeball. A wild Wishiwashi returns the coin to Sun, and he immediately falls in love with its cuteness (he has never seen one before). He asks Lana whether such small Pokemon will get eaten by the 8-meter creature, and Lana replies that she heard they are tasty. Sun decides to protect the Wishiwashi, adds it to his team and nicknames it Baht (the currency of Thailand. Its katakana is Ba-Tsu, which also means 'cross-out’ as in 'wrong answer’ in Japanese. He chooses this nickname because Wishiwashi’s eyes are in X shape). Lana wonders why he isn’t capturing it with a Pokeball but Sun says he shall do it later. He asks Baht if it knows where the 8-meter creature is, and Baht starts leading the way (Sun gets on Lapras Ride).

However, after 4-5 hours, every whirlpool or splash Sun encounters is just other wild water Pokemon. He starts to wonder if Baht really knows where the creature is. He hops into the water to see big schools of Wishiwashi, and starts to wonder if Baht was simply leading it to its home. En gets angry with Baht and starts attacking it, and ends up scaring it off. Sun tries to call it back, but when it does, it swarms up and becomes its giant form. Sun finally realizes that Baht and its friends are the 8-meter Totem Pokemon.

Meanwhile, in Lush Jungle, Mallow wonders if Moon is doing ok, and Moon replies that she has field training experience. Moon notices some pollen floating around, and wonders if they are what she is supposed to find. However, Mallow states that she has never seen them before. At that moment, they spot Tapu Lele floating high above, and it is apparently engaged in battle with something emerging from a dimensional rift (it’s a Xurkitree)…

This month’s SM summary, courtesy of Coronis:

Tapu Lele gets strangled by Xurkitree’s cables. Rotom-Dex doesn’t have data on the creature. It flies close to collect data, only to get zapped by Xurkitree. It manages to state that it uses electric attacks before passing out/shutting down. Moon decides to attempt a capture with her arrowed Pokeball. Although it hits, Xurkitree is not caught and simply retreats into the spacial rift. Tapu Lele is obviously angry, and then it departs. Mallow wonders if the creature is what’s upsetting the Tapu. Moon thinks they should approach the Tapu directly since it is the purpose of the Island Challenge after all, although they should find a way to get the Mirage Berry first. She collects the dust scattered by Tapu Lele, and Mallow decides to nickname the creature Lightning since ‘the creature that looks like a bundle of cables’ is too long a name to use.

At Brooklet Hill, Sun gets hit by the schooled Wishiwashi, and Lana reveals that she is actually the one who raised the Totem. She gets into her serious/angry mode, and says she never misled Sun but he just never gave her a chance to fully explain (which is why she teared up). She thinks Sun is belittling weak ones who cry, and should see how powerful they can get. Despite being in its enraged state (due to its forehead coin being dirtied), Dollar has a hard time fighting the Totem. Sun finally decides to target Baht, since it is the reason the schooling occurred and would theoretically be its 'command centre’. Dollar successfully lands a hit on Baht (the left eye), and the giant Totem disintegrates. Lana approves of Sun’s ability, reverting back to her timid self, and Sun officially captures Baht with a Pokeball.

The chapter ends with Kahili showing up at the doorstep of Hala, stating her knowledge of Tapu Lele being spotted again on Akala…

Gladion "caught" a Tapu!
Sun got a Z-Ring!

Picking up where the last chapter left off. Kiawe reveals the Z Crystal hidden in En’s collar to Sun, and we get a gag where Sun automatically thinks of its price, and Moon sees it through. She pinches him, saying ‘I know what you are thinking’, and Sun immediately replies 'I’m not selling it! I’m not selling it!’. Mallow and Lana usher the group to the Ruins of Life as they are worried about Tapu Lele, and also want Kiawe to teach Sun the Z Move. Kiawe requests himself to be 'delivered’ to the Ruins, and Sun summons Tauros, heading off as Mallow and Lana keep the Team Skull Grunts at bay.

Later, at the entrance of the Ruins, Moon tends to Kiawe’s wounds, and enables him to stand. Kiawe postulates that En unleashed an incomplete version of the Z Move at the Festival Tournament, and explains that the Z Ring, Z Crystal and Z Pose are the 3 integral parts of successfully using a Z Move. Moon realizes that the Sparkling Stone is the Z Ring, but Sun says he doesn’t know any Z Bouzu (Bouzu can either mean a 'brat’ or people who shaved their heads like monks. This is a phonetic gag since Bouzu and the Japanese katana for pose 'Po-zu’ are very similar). Kiawe thinks Sun must have somehow moved his arms akin to the Z Pose, allowing the somewhat incomplete Z Move getting pulled off. Sun brags that lucky people will always get things go their way, and Moon shoots him a look of disdain. Kiawe then demonstrates the Pose, but Sun is reluctant to do the 'dance’. Kiawe insists that only when he masters the Z Move will he be able to beat the Team Skull Enforcer. Sun doubts it, but Moon agrees with Kiawe, and reminds him that in order to deliver the Mirage Berry to Tapu Lele, Sun must do anything. Sun has no choice but to comply, but finds himself unable to tap into the mood, until Kiawe reminds him of the thought he had back when he unleashed the move at the Festival Tournament. Not surprisingly, the 100 million yen goal becomes Sun’s motivation, and he easily masters the 'dance’ by reciting the words '100 million yen’. Sun realizes the problem that he actually doesn’t have the Sparkling Stone right now, but Kiawe offers to let him borrow his. Kiawe also explains how draining it is to unleash a move, which is why he is asking Sun to practice it without the Z Ring.

Suddenly, Type: Null ambushes them, and we see Gladion, having taken Tape Lele hostage (it has retracted its head like when it does its Z Move and is carried around like a bag, rather than captured). Kiawe reveals that his Sparkling Stone was given to him by Tapu Lele 5 years ago, but the deity is not responding. Moon realizes that it must still be suffering from its injuries when it battled Xurkitree, and Gladion finally understands why it was so easy to capture Tapu Lele, having fought creatures coming from the crevices in the sky. Moon questions Gladion’s intention, and the boy reveals that his goal is to get the Tapus. Moon believes that his ultimate goal is to fight the mysterious creatures from the wormholes, which is probably the reason the Tapus are angry, and proposes that they all work together rather than fight. However, Sun refuses to collaborate with someone who sided with an evil team, and plans to blast him off with a Z Move.

Unfortunately, when Kiawe hands him his Z Ring, Type: Null shatters it, and Gladion mocks that Sun cannot win with a move that knocks himself unconscious. He recalls the reason Sun emerged victorious at the Tournament was because the Kahunas stepped in. The Kahunas were so thrilled by Sun’s possession of the Sparkling Stone that he was basically asked to forfeit. Afterall, if he sent in his Porygon, Sun’s Litten would stand no chance. Gladion once again mocks how the Z Move wouldn’t help Sun win against him, but a voice comes on to mock Gladion instead, saying he wouldn’t have shattered the Z Ring if what he said was true.

The voice turns out to be Kahili, who has flown in on her Skarmory. She sends out her Toucannon to hit Type: Null with a Drill Peck, and skillfully 'golf in’ the Pokeball of Oricorio in front of Sun, delivering his Z Ring to him. She believes that Gladion knows he would lose in face of a Z Move, which is the real reason he broke Kiawe’s Z Ring. With that, Sun formally pulls off the fire type Z Pose, and unleashes an Inferno Overdrive…

Pics:

Translations:

pg 02

　Kiawe: Listen closely, Sun.
　Kiawe: This is…

　Kiawe: A Z-Crystal!

　Sun: Z… Crystal!?
　Moon: What does it do?

　Kiawe: I don’t know where they came from.
　Kiawe: But they’re necessary for taking the Island Challenge.

pg 03

　Sun: (So basically, the crystal’s really important.)**
　Sun: (Which means it’s super valuable…)**

　Moon: I know what you’re thinking about.
　SFX: Squeeze
　Sun: I won’t sell it! I’m not gonna sell it!!

　Lana: Kiawe, if that’s the case, please leave this to Mallow and me.*
　Mallow: Yeah! I’m worried about Tapu Lele and the Ruins of Life!

　Mallow: That, and you have to teach Sun!
　SFX: Nod

　Kiawe: It’s just as they said, Sun. Carry me!
　Sun: But…

　Kiawe: You’re a courier, aren’t you!?
　Kiawe: Treat this like a job, and carry me to the ruins!

　Sun: All right…

pg 04

　Sun: Poké Ride…
　Sun: Charge!

　Grunts: Hold it right there!
　Grunts: We won’t let you get away!!

　Mallow: Oh no you don’t! Your opponents are over here!**
　Mallow: Steenee, “Stomp”!!

　Lana: Araquanid, “Biug Bite”!!

pg 05

　Moon: Can you stand?
　Kiawe: Yeah, thanks to your medicine. With this, I can teach Sun.

　Sun: H-Hey, you guys’ve been saying “teach” a lot lately…
　Sun: What’re you planning to make me do?

　Kiawe: Starting now…
　Kiawe: I’m going to teach you…
　Kiawe: How to use Z-Moves.

　Sun: Z… Moves?

　Kiawe: Strong moves like the one your Litten unleashed during the Full-Force
　Battles.
　Kiawe: It was imperfect, but I think that was a Z-Move.
　Kiawe: The reason why… is that the conditions for unleashing Z-Moves had
　been fulfilled.

pg 06

　Kiawe: The three conditions required for unleashing a Z-Move are…
　Kiawe: A Z-Ring…

　Kiawe: A Z-Crystal…

　Kiawe: And using a Z-Pose.

　Sun: What!? I don’t have a ring, and I don’t know anything about roses,
　either!**
　Moon: …

　Moon: Kiawe, could it be that a Z-Ring…
　Moon: Is made by modifying a Sparkling Stone?

　Kiawe: That’s right.
　Moon: Then that’s two conditions fulfilled, leaving…
　Sun: I’m telling you, I don’t know anything about roses!**

　Kiawe: Well, you’re you after all. It wouldn’t be surprising if you did a pose by
　accident.
　Kiawe: The Z-Move was likely imperfect because you didn’t fulfill the
　conditions intentionally.**

　Kiawe: These kinds of things often happen to people with extremely good
　luck.
　Moon: …

pg 07

　Kiawe: Watch closely.
　Kiawe: This is a Z-Pose for unleashing a Z-Move.

pg 08

　Sun: Miss, did- did I really do a dance like that?
　Moon: I wasn’t watching, so I don’t know.

　Kiawe: Now, Sun, try doing it like I did!
　Sun: But I…!

　Kiawe: Listen, past here, in the Ruins of Life, there’s someone strong who
　defeated me!
　Kiawe: They’re and enforcer for Team Skull!**
　Kiawe: If you can’t use Z-Moves, there’s no way you’ll be able to beat them!

　Sun: You don’t know that until you try!!
　Moon: …

　Moon: No, I know.

　Sun: Huh!?
　Moon: Courier, let Kiawe teach you how to use Z-Moves.**

　Moon: You’re doing everything you need to do…
　Moon: In order to deliver the Mirage Berry to Tapu Lele, right?

pg 09

　Sun: Urgh…

　Sun: Kiawe, I’m counting on you.
　Kiawe: All right. First, put your left arm in front, and cross both arms in front of
　your face.

　Kiawe: Next, do this.
　Sun: Like this?

　Kiawe: Then, put your left arm on top, and put both hands in front of you.
　Kiawe: Kind of like you’re telling things to burn.*
　Kiawe: One more time!
　Kiawe: Don’t be embarrassed!

　Kiawe: Then, as if unleashing the power built up inside of you…
　Kiawe: Ugh…!

　Kiawe: Urgh!
　Sun/Moon: Kiawe!

　Kiawe: Sun, keep going!

　Kiawe: Listen, don’t continuously think about it while you’re moving.
　Kiawe: You have to practice until your body is able to do it naturally.**

pg 10

　Kiawe: What’s important is your intent- your goal.
　Kiawe: The reason you want to use the power….
　Kiawe: Call on the power with those feelings, and give it to your Pokémon.

　Sun: Can this get any more confusing!?
　Kiawe: Then just remember how you felt during the Full-Force Battles.

　Sun: Erm… Back then, I…

　Sun: (I was ticked off at Gladion running his mouth…)
　Sun: (And I thought I couldn’t afford to lose because I needed to save 100
　million yen with En and Dollar…)

　Sun: (That’s it!)
　Sun: Kiawe! I don’t really get it, but I got it! **
　Sun: I only have one goal!

　Kiawe: Right.
　Kiawe: Just think about that as you practice.

pg 11

　Sun: I’ll try it!

　Sun: Hm?

　Sun: It won’t work! Hala is working on the Shining Stone right now!
　Sun: You said I couldn’t do the whatever-move without the whatever-ring!

　Kiawe: Calm down. I’ll let you borrow my Z-Ring, just memorize the pose first.
　Sun: But what good is practice if I can’t unleash the move!?

　Kiawe: It’s not good if you can unleash the move that easily.
　Kiawe: Don’t you remember passing out the first time you did it?**

　Moon: But Hala said that that was because the power flowed through him
　without him knowing…
　Kiawe: That did play a part, but that much power passing through his body will
　still burden him greatly.**

　Kiawe: I’m not making light of your willpower and stamina, but…
　Kiawe: Don’t use it recklessly before you actually need it.**

　Sun: Got it.
　Sun: All right!

pg 12

　Sun: One

　Sun: Hundred…

　Sun: Milli-…

　Sun: On…

　Sun: Yeeenn!!

　Moon: Unbelievable! Of course I mean the chant, too, but…
　Moon: He got it in one try!

　Kiawe: I feel you! I feel you, Sun!
　Kiawe: I feel the same passion you do for saving money!

pg 13

　Kiawe: All right, Sun! I’ll lend you my Z-Ring!
　Sun: I’ll take it, Kiawe!

　Kiawe: Before that, I’ll set the Z-Crystal.
　Kiawe: Just like this…

　Moon: Dodge!

pg 14

　Sun: !

　Sun: S-So you…
　Sun: You’re an enforcer for Team Skull…!?

　Sun: Gladion!!

　Moon: I knew it…

　Kiawe: Ah… Ahhhh!

pg 15

　Kiawe: Tapu Lele! It has been a long time!
　Kiawe: I am Kiawe! You entrusted me with a Shining Stone 5 years ago!!

　Moon: I wonder if Tapu Lele’s wounds have yet to heal.
　Sun: Whaddya mean?

　Moon: I saw it in Lush Jungle.
　Moon: Tapu Lele fought with a mysterious creature coming out from the crack
　in the sky.

　Gladion: “Coming out from the crack in the sky”?

pg 16

　Gladion: I see.
　Gladion: So the reason I was able to catch it so easily…
　Gladion: Was because it was weak from fighting them.

　Moon: Gladion.
　Moon: What are you after?

　Moon: You’ve even become an enforcer for Team Skull…
　Moon: What are you trying to do?

　Gladion: All of it…
　Gladion: Is to capture the Tapus.

　Gladion: I was ambushed on Melemele, so I missed my chance.
　(Sun: What’s he talking about!?)
　(Sun: I bet it’s just trash talk!)*

　Moon: Listen!
　Moon: Right now, there’s a danger threatening Alola, and the Tapus are
　enraged because of it.

pg 17

　Moon: I think that danger is an invasion by mysterious creatures like the one
　Tapu Lele fought.**

　Moon: Are you capturing the Tapus to fight them off because you think the
　same thing?

　Moon: If that’s the case, couldn’t we work together?
　Gladion: …

　Moon: The Courier and I, Tapu Koko gave us…
　Sun: Stop it, Miss!

　Sun: I can’t work together with someone who’s loose enough to work with
　villains!

　Sun: I’ll blast you away with a Z-Move…
　Sun: Just like I did in the Full-Force Battles!!

pg 18

　Sun: Kiawe, your Z-Ring!

　Kiawe: Take it, Sun!

pg 19

　Kiawe: My… My…

　Kiawe: My Z-Ring…

　Sun: Gladiooonn!!

　Gladion: Do you really think you can beat me with a move…
　Gladion: That makes trainers pass out when they use it?

　Gladion: During the Full-Force Battles… The Island Kahunas all got excited
　about you having a Shining Stone…
　Gladion: And made me lose by default.*
　Gladion: If our battle hadn’t been put on pause, my Porygon would’ve
　defeated your Litten.*

　Gladion: Whether you use a Z-Move or not…
　Gladion: You won’t beat me.

　???: My, my. If that’s the case, then why did you destroy the Z-Ring?

pg 20

　???: “Drill Peck”!!

pg 21

　Gladion: Who are you!?
　Gladion: Where did that come from!?

　???: If he used a Z-Move, you’d have no chance of winning.
　???: That’s why you stopped him from using one.

　???: Am I wrong?

pg 22

　Sun: This is…!

　Sun: A Z-Ring!!

pg 23

　???: You’re Sun, correct?
　Kahili: I’m Kahili.

　Kahili: Hala gave me that.
　Kahili: It’s your Z-Ring.

　Sun: All right…

　Sun: Ow ow ow!
　Moon: Here.

　Sun: It’s just like Kahili said! You’re scared, aren’t ya!?

　Sun: Have a taste of my Z-Move!!*

pg 24

　Sun: One…

　Sun: Hundred…
　Sun: Milli-…

　Sun: On…

　Sun: Yeeenn!!

pg 25

　Moon: Something aura-like…

　Moon: Poured from the Courier into En!

　Kiawe: It worked! Sun!!

　Kiawe: Unleash it!!
　Kiawe: The Fire-type Z-Move!
