The trial was to learn two dances.
Bad Boy had thought that, now that he had shaken off his old way of thinking, he would learn them easily.
But in the end...
You discovered that they were performing exactly the same dance, with no differences at all.
"So the hard part is finding an Alolan Marowak that dances differently?" Baimu's mouth twitched. After all that, it still came down to spotting the difference.
Of course.
Learning the dances was much harder than simply spotting the difference in the game. One required him to watch; the other required him to learn.
You searched the hills for wild Marowak.
Fortunately, Bad Boy had patience to spare.
Or rather, he had developed that patience while trying to earn other people's forgiveness.
The scene sped up.
Clearly, this was an arduous, time-consuming trial. Who knew how long Bad Boy spent searching before he finally found his target?
You discovered a Totem Marowak.
The unusual dance and the unusual size told Bad Boy everything.
Baimu frowned.
How had he never encountered Totem Marowak?
Had Totem Salazzle moved in later and taken over its territory?
Very likely!
But why had Totem Salazzle suddenly moved to Akala Island in the first place? Had it crossed the sea on its own, or had someone helped it? For Baimu, that remained a mystery.
On the screen,
Alolan Persian and Totem Marowak were locked in a fierce battle.
Persian held the advantage for a while. Marowak seemed capable of little more than spinning its bone like a windmill and charging around in flames, and Persian's type advantage steadily drove it back.
But the simulated battle's crude pixel art and rough animation made Persian look as though it were playing Mario.
It kept jumping around.
