The attack hits Ace - who is standing in the ground after that last attack - square in the chest. Ace stumbles, the wind knocked out of him, and realizes that he can't move.

(Letting out another, louder, more sinister cackle, the Makuhita plows a second Force Palm into Ace's immobile head.)
Tastes better on the way back down.

The attack is too much for the now-defenseless Staraptor.
Ruby: <You'll pay for that, ruffian!>
Ruby planted a seed on the Makuhita.

Ruby shrugged off the Force Palm. < You must not have faced many Pokémon like me.>
Shaun: "Bit of a one-trick Ponyta, aren't ya? Ruby, Grass Knot!"
Ruby smiled. < This is why I like to stay in shape!> She grew thick ropes of grass and wrapped them around the Makuhita's ankles.

(The Makuhita seems surprised by the Force Palm's ineffectiveness.)
Makuhita: <Meh?>
(Then comes the Grass Knot, which catches it unawares and sends it tumbling.)
Makuhita: <MEH!>

Shaun: "Alright girl, finish him off!"
Ruby nodded her head and looked at the Makuhita. < A proper lady lets her opponent lose with some dignity...so know that I'm helping you.>

Ever: Well, now we're here. Once again, we can't get to another island, and furthermore we are no closer to making you a Ghost.
Narrow: <And this is why you don't deal with the Fair Folk.>
Ever: Yes, well.
Custard: <Wait, what? The Fair Folk?>
Ever: Oh, we ran into a Lady in Violet. She brought me here and then left. Pretty sure she wasn't human.
Custard: <...Oh.>
Ever: Yeah, life is kind of strange when you travel with me.
Custard: <Evidently so.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
Meet The New Boss
Hau'oli Pokemon Center
-Alli and Locke are relaxing here, watching Alli's team mill about-
Locke: You've got quite the team forming. Did you have one before you came to Alola?
Alli: I did! They all had at least decent battle experience, though, so I decided to use all new guys here.
-she thinks a bit-
Though... There WAS one that didn't get much at all...
-she wanders over to the PC and starts fiddling with it, withdrawing a Pokeball she then releases a Tepig from-
Hey Waddles!
Waddles: <Yeah huh?>
Alli: You want to be part of the Alola crew?
Waddles: <Oh, uh-huh, yeah, sure!>
Alli: -points- There they are. Go introduce yourself!
-Waddles does so. Locke chuckles-
Locke: This reminds me I should challenge Ilmia soon...
Contact Me!
-Maggie and co notice Tagg approaching-
Maggie: "Oh, hey, Tagg."
-she notices Ali- "And... you."
"You all coming for Ilima's Trial?"

-Nods-
Once they get here, that is.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
-Sugar Sugar gives an emphatic nod in Ali's direction-
Maggie: -to Ali- "Nice to meet you, then."
-to Tagg- "Right, yeah..."
"Well, Ilima should be back soon... He's probably getting stuff ready after I had to leave..."
Kernel: <Word to the wise, watch your faces.>
-Around this time, Ilima appears out of the Verdant Cavern-
Maggie: "Well, speak of the Ghost Lord."
Ilima: -to Maggie- "Well, ready to have another go at it so soon?"
-he then notices Tagg- "Ah, and who might you be?"

-To Ilima-
I'm Tagg, and I assume you'd be Trial Captain Ilima?
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
-Ilima nods-
Ilima: "That I am. I'm guessing you're here for the trial too?"

That I am.

Ilima: "Ah, excellent."
"Well, I was getting ready for Maggie to restart her challenge, but..."
-A glint appears in his eye-
"If you'd be willing to expedite things, I do have a good system to test two people at once. It worked rather well on two girls earlier this week, I think."
Maggie: "...That's the kind of look that makes me both nervous and determined to try it."
-Ilima smiles at Maggie-
Ilima: "You're welcome."

...Okay then, I'm game. Maggie?
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Maggie: "Yeah, I am too."
Ilima: "Excellent. Smeargle will get that ready, then."
"Follow me, if you please."
-He heads back into the Verdant Cavern, Maggie following a bit after-

-Follows-

-As the party enters, they can see a Smeargle just calming down from an Uproar and possibly the eyes of Yungoos and Rattata stirring in the background-
Ilima: "Well, now that we're here. I'll explain the basics of the trial."
"Each of you must defeat 3 Pokemon lurking in their dens. From there, you may proceed to the back of the cavern and face the Totem Pokemon, concluding your trial."
"Oh, and apologies for not mentioning this sooner, but while in here, you cannot change team members or catch any new Pokemon until the trial has concluded or you'll need to restart. If you needed to prepare with that in mind, we could take a bit of time, yet."

-To Ilima-
Fine by me.
-To Maggie-
You ready for this?
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
Kernel: <Personally, I'm just going to... stay here by Ilima and watch unless you need me for something.>
Maggie: "Yeah, I'm ready."
Ilima: "Then it begins! The trial of Captain Ilima!"
Maggie: "Right."
-to Tagg- "Wanna split up and go to separate burrows, or?"

(The Mankey is hit hard by the incoming birb, and simply can't take it.)
(The Makuhita doesn't speak; it simply cackles and swings a crackling blue fist at Ace.)
