Following the map, Bai Shi successfully dug up a Sparkling Stone near Wela Volcano.
Overjoyed, Bai Shi immediately took the Sparkling Stone back to Konikoni City to report to Olivia.
"Excellent. This is indeed a Sparkling Stone. Congratulations on passing my test."
"Next, we'll begin Akala Island's grand trial."
After examining the stone, Olivia nodded in satisfaction and spoke to Bai Shi.
Since he had completed the test, she had no reason to put it off any longer.

This was the perfect chance to test the new move against Olivia's two Pokémon in an actual battle.
With Golurk as his safety net, Bai Shi wasn't worried about things going wrong.
As soon as Pyukumuku appeared, it attached itself to Golurk, using its enormous body for cover.

"Golurk and Pyukumuku. That's quite an interesting combination."
"Let's see just what kind of Pokémon you've got in those Poké Balls."
"Lycanroc, use Rock Slide!"
Olivia raised an eyebrow and ordered Lycanroc to launch the first attack.
Lycanroc formed a mass of rocks
