"It was what happened AFTER that," said Ash dourly. "I'll tell you about that later but I guess most of the videos were scrubbed from the internet."
"Yeah. Hala doesn't play by the standard Pokemon battle rules. Toss everything you've learned about Pokemon battling out the window Dawn, because in Alola? It's a whole new ball game." He grinned, happy to be in more happier territory as he watched the most recent challenger take on Hala. "Look at Hala for a moment. See how he's directing Crabominable? He's not directing him like a normal trainer would, with direct orders, but with feelings. Much like I would. Minimal directions, flexible orders. The bond between partners and Pokemon are super strong in this region. You gotta be prepared. And then..."
And then, Hala and the Challenger initiated the Z-Move, the Challengers Ice Z-move vs Hala's own Fighting Z-Move. "And then there's Z-moves," said Ash in the marvelous beautiful spectacle. "Amazing isn't it?"
