Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here you will find the seven Island Trials of Alola. As you may know Island Trials are different from Gym battles. In these trials you will instead undertake a certain task in nature given to you by a Trial Captain which will eventually end in you facing off against the trial's Totem Pokemon, a powerful and larger version of a normal Pokemon. Clear the trials and you will be rewarded a Z-Crystal of a type reflecting the Trial Captain's type. The seven trials are spread through out four islands and as such when you complete all the trials on a specific island you will face that island's Kahuna in a Grand Trial, four in total. When you defeat a Kahuna you will earn the right to take on the next island's trials and a Z-Crystal of their type. Defeat all four Kahunas and you will earn [TBD].



Island Trials can be done as a mission you simply type out and post on the Mission Archive. The idea is to be creative with them and story based. You can still RP them out on the Side RP Board if you wish. Grand Trials however must be done on the Side RP Board with an admin roleplaying as the Kahuna for you.
