Hey guys, Champion of the Divine Sun here with something a little bit special. Now that I finished the campaign about five times, my choices for my team have been solidified. And I'm glad. So, I decided to create six chapters, one for each member on my team. And after each one, I'll say what about them that had taken my heart.

Enjoy!


I met her when she was a little Popplio. When Kahuna Hala had showed me the three starters, I knew which one I was going to pick. I always preferred the night over the day, and the water coincided with the moon. For me, at least. Ever since that night, I had never felt so happy. It was like we were one being.

When we defeated Hala's Grand Trial, she had evolved into a Brionne. I was so overjoyed with her evolution that I hugged her tightly. She made a sound that expressed her happiness as well. For a moment, I was confused when Rotom said that she was a Pop Star Pokémon until I noticed she kept on singing whenever I felt down in the dumps. Seeing Hau's Torracat having a bit of a rivalry with my Brionne made me laugh.

...

When we first met Guzma, I noticed how he stared at my Z-Ring. When he asked me why I was doing the island challenge, and I didn't give him a straight answer, he sent out his Golisopod to attack my Brionne.

A Bug/Water type against a pure Water type is not really a good match up. But when she evolved into a Primarina and learned Sparkling Aria, I knew that we were going to go far. That this adventure was far from over.

...

I knew that the Pokémon that Lusamine sent out were undoubtedly pampered. And while their attacks hit hard, I was glad that Mizu helped her team. Especially against Mismagius and her Mystical Fire. Using Scald to reflect the oncoming Shadow Ball was something I came up on the fly.

...

I'm not going to lie, seeing Lusamine fuse with that Nihilego was rather unnerving, to say the least. It didn't help since it felt like the Ultra Space was sucking the life out of me. Or was that the other surrounding Nihilego? I tightened my grip on Mizu's Pokéball before throwing.

I never would thought of it, using her exclusive Z-Move. I've used it before, but the amount of energy would've made me collapse.

'Mizu, let's go for Oceanic Operetta. That should make the Clefable faint.

'But… it requires a lot of your psychic energy.'

'I know. But if we don't make Clefable stand down, we'll lose.'

I could tell that she was hesitant on it. But we did it none the less.

...

There we were. At the Pokémon League, the first one ever built in Alola. Meaning that whoever defeated the Elite Four was going to be the first Champion.

Kahunas Hala and Olivia… Captain Acerola… Golfer Kahili...

Now Kukui remains. He said it was to celebrate my victory against the Elite Four. A part of me knew that he wanted to see what my team was capable of. He wanted to test their our limits. The seven of us were ready for anything. This adventure had tempered each of us in some way or other. And my little Primarina had been there since the beginning of this journey. As long as I was with her, she was okay. And my team would be incomplete without her.


When I first saw the starters, I was torn between Rowlett and Popplio, especially by their final forms. But I chose the seal because of the hate I saw for it, and Trickywi's song, "In Your Spotlight" had sealed it for me. Check out the song if you haven't already.

I chose to name it Mizu because it meant 'water' in Japanese.

See you guys for the second Pokémon.
