On an exposed reef off the southern coast of Alola Island, a lively commotion broke the stillness of the night.
A campfire burned, lighting up the night sky.
Along the beach, Milotic swam gracefully through the shallows. Mew lay on Milotic's head, chirping happily about who knew what.
Swampert stood guard nearby, relaxing in the seawater.
On the sand, Cynthia's Gastrodon slowly dug up great heaps of sand with its feelers, though no one knew quite why. Gastrodon piled the sand into something like a pyramid, and was admiring the creation in satisfaction when Gliscor and Bronzor suddenly swooped down from above and destroyed it...
"Ha!"
Gastrodon waved its feelers indignantly and began chasing Gliscor and Bronzor. Unfortunately, the two could fly, leaving Gastrodon stranded on the ground, watching helplessly!
"Gah-hehehe~!!!"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
In midair, Gliscor and Bronzor laughed gleefully at their successful prank, making Gastrodon even angrier!
The commotion also displeased Gigalith, who lay resting nearby, buried in the sand...
Awakened by the noise, Gigalith immediately sent countless compacted clumps of sand rising into the air and hurtling toward the two troublemakers!
Gliscor reacted quickly, dodging the incoming sand with a beat of the wings. Bronzor, whose back was turned to Gigalith, froze for a moment before getting showered with sand!
"Moo-ha~~~!"
Below them, Gastrodon was delighted. Gastrodon nodded to Gigalith with a cheerful smile, then looked up at the sky, positively radiating the satisfaction of sweet revenge.
Now Bronzor was having none of it. The little Pokémon had a temper, too!
Turning around, Bronzor unleashed Confusion, sending the sand around Gigalith surging back and burying the big Pokémon once more!
And then...
Gigalith actually went quiet again, just like that.
Just then, a boy's voice rang out from the reef in the distance.
"Don't disturb the other
