On the eve of their relaxing trip to the Alola region, the MYGO group gathered at Satoshi's house to prepare.
The school trip lasted a full ten days—so they had to organize their gear carefully, and it was also a great chance to share team strategies.
According to Anon's research, the Island Challenge had a relatively low pass rate, so most students chose to focus on just one island rather than attempting them all.
They simply didn't have enough time, and besides, the High School Pokémon League allowed only one Z-Move per person. Since Z-Moves drained stamina, it made more sense to prioritize one specific breakthrough.
Then there were the Totem Pokémon—the real nightmare. After that, challengers still had to defeat the island kahuna in the grand trial to obtain a Z-Ring. The pressure was truly immense.
Due to an arrangement between Alola and Rainbow Wing Academy, students generally chose only one island's trial.
But even one failure meant no retries. Losing against a Totem Pokémon or an island kahuna simply wasn't an option!
Failing meant disqualification, so Satoshi and the others met beforehand to hold a strategy session.
"Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula'ula Island, Poni Island… Which one do you want to challenge, Satoshi?"
Anon's finger glided across the screen as she spoke excitedly.
It was her first-ever school trip. Anon was already picturing the moment when she finally "captured" the blockhead.
She imagined making an ultra-romantic confession at Kala'e Bay—one of Alola's top one hundred scenic spots.
Just thinking about it made Anon's girlish heart race.
As for the trial? Aren't we here on our honeymoon?
So lucky! Thank goodness I'm in charge of intel—now Satoshi-kun will definitely be mine?!
Then I'll post our LOVELOVE photos online. Wouldn't we become the most eye-catching couple ever?!
Amazing ChihaSato LOVE~
In Anon's inner world, she was already throwing her hands up in victorious celebration.
"Ehehehehe~" Anon's mouth curled upward into her usual goofy laugh.
"…Poni Island, I guess. Since we've got this chance, challenging the hardest island really is best."
Ignoring Anon's silly giggles, Satoshi considered carefully.
In the games, Poni Island's Totem Pokémon was the pseudo-legendary Kommo-o. According to Anon's analysis, Poni's trial suited him best—it would help him grow quickly.
Clearing the Totem Pokémon Kommo-o in Poni Canyon would suffice, and afterward he'd challenge the island kahuna.
The trials had been simplified—probably out of consideration for the kahunas, too.
Otherwise, the flood of Rainbow Wing students would overwhelm them.
"Poni Island… huh? I heard that's really tough, but if it's you, Satoshi, I totally believe you can do it."
Anon didn't even attempt to discourage him—she sounded fully confident instead.
After all they'd been through, her trust in Satoshi had only deepened. The thought that he might fail didn't even cross her mind.
Satoshi~ will win!
"Anon-chan… which island will you challenge?" Tomori tilted her head curiously.
"…I'll probably choose Akala Island. It has Water, Fire, and Grass—three Z-Crystals. As for Fairy… I'll pass."
Despite being a Fairy-type fan, Anon chose not to attempt Fairyium Z.
Trial: Defeat all the captains on every island and gather petals to form a "rainbow flower," then summon the Totem Pokémon.
Max difficulty. Like hell I'm doing that!
If I actually attempted it, Taki would definitely grab my collar and say, "Anon, wasn't there something wrong with how you played that?"
Cold sweat slid down Anon's back, and she abandoned the idea. Then, as if it were nothing, she leaned against Satoshi.
Mmm~ comfy.
And then she "accidentally" brushed her hand against Satoshi's.
Mmm~ warm. Feels nice too.
Anon couldn't help closing her eyes, sinking into bliss—while Satoshi, as always, thought nothing of it.
Holding hands—totally normal between friends~
But something else felt strange—so strange it made her skin crawl.
Why… why have I been glued to Satoshi all this time, but Soyo hasn't reacted at all?
Detective Anon's senses tingled.
Normally, Soyo would've been pressuring her with that horrible cutesy voice ages ago. But today, she was just calmly scrolling through her phone!
Could it be… the hotel?
Anon immediately thought of that.
Intel: managed by the useless Chihaya Anon.
Hotel: arranged by the most devious Nagasaki Soyo.
Normally, the school provided lodging, but students could also arrange their own accommodations.
Given that MYGO had performed well and was prepping for the High School Pokémon League, the school had granted them considerable freedom—allowing the group to stay together and hold a Pokémon party.
They'd left hotel arrangements to Soyo. Alola's top accommodations were basically Hano Grand Resort and the Seaward Hotel.
Those were clearly the two best options.
Wait… did this girl secretly arrange things so she'd be sharing Satoshi's room?!
If it had been anyone else, Anon would've dismissed the idea outright. But since it was Nagasaki Soyo, she fully accepted the possibility.
No one was scummier… or more ridiculous… than Soyo!
Thinking that, Anon's head ached. She stood up, quietly sneaking behind Soyo.
What she saw was…
Satoshi and Soyo: Our Two-Person LOVELOVE Plan!
First: Hotel choice—Seaward Hotel. Pair up in rooms—two per room!
Seeing this, Anon's eyes went blank.
This is clearly because she's been on a vegetarian diet for too long!
We could obviously do groups of three, but she insists on pairs—no normal girl could accept this…
She needed to teach her a lesson!
"Soyo~"
Suddenly, Anon whispered directly into Soyo's ear.
Eek—!
Instantly, cold sweat dripped down Soyo's forehead. She stiffly turned around, discovering Anon standing there—somehow now taller than her.
"Ahemhem~ Anon-chan, whatever do you mean?"
Soyo couldn't even maintain her usual sweet voice; panic leaked into her tone.
Unfortunately for her, it only fueled Anon's determination.
"Soyo, you wouldn't want this plan to fall through, would you?" Chihaya Anon lowered her voice, standing on her tiptoes to loom over Nagasaki Soyo—who was actually two centimeters taller.
These threatening words reached Soyo's ears, filling Nagasaki Soyo with a humiliation greater than anything she'd ever known.
It was even worse than kneeling before Togawa Sakiko.
"What do you want…" With no other choice, Soyo could only temporarily submit.
What do I want?!
Obviously—
"Soyo, include me too!"
