The sunlight tickles you awake, and you panic slightly as you find yourselves in unfamiliar surroundings. Then the events of the previous day come back to you, and you realize you're still in Grandpa Hala's house. Several mysteries lie before you now. What is the mysterious journal you found yesterday, and where are the others? What is Brandon planning next? Why does Ryuki pop those pills every chance he gets? Will more creatures like Nihilego show up? Will Marshadow make an appearance again? And will Kane ever wash that costume (he knows the one)? You're not sure, (especially about that last one), but today's a new day, with its own challenges- specifically, the Island Challenge grandpa laid before you. Some of the wild Pokemon on Melemele Island have been going crazy, and Hala is not sure why. Your challenge is to figure out why, and find a way to stop the madness. You'll then earn the right to challenge Hala to a battle. Breakfast, unfortunately, is corn puffs. Hala had to leave early to handle some problem on another part of the island. As you eat, Hau remarks that it may rain later in the day...

Right! Let's make it another great day. Elise tells her pokémon as they leave her room to get to breakfast. She also took a quick look to see if she could find Marshadow somewhere. Though she doubted the little guy was still around the house right now.
"Did Uncle Hala say what the problem was about?" She asked once she heard that he was gone.
"so... where do we start our search?" She asked all those present at the table.

Hau, looking up from his cereal, replies "Well, an army of Rattata rampaged across a farm out of the city and caused some serious damage. Grandpa's strength was needed to deal with it all; you know how strong he is." You do indeed. One time, when he was visiting you guys, there was a carnival that came to town. One of the attractions there was a strongman hammer game. Grandpa's strike utterly destroyed the game, and he was subsequently banned from the carnival for the rest of his natural life.

"So, how long has these problems been going on?" Ira asks, thinking. From what they overheard the previous day, it sounded like Brandon's team had only just started testing their machines, so if it had been going on for longer than a few days, there was probably something else going on.

Hau takes a sip of his drink before replying: "A while, actually. Pokemon- any Pokemon, not just wild- would sometimes go completely nuts, and go on a rampage. Nobody was quite sure why. This group thing, though, has been happening only for about the past week or so." He looks at Ira. "Why? Any theories on this?"

"Hmm, not yet, but it'll narrow things down. Trouble is, still need a place to start." Ira thinks, falling quiet for a few moments. "If I could get his hands on a pokemon going through... whatever this is, I could check it for signs of mental influence, but I'm guessing there's no way to find one until it actually happens."

"Maybe you could take a look in the jungle," Hau suggests. "It's got all kinds of Pokemon in there, so if something happens, you may be able to see it firsthand. Plus, if there is some kind of big conspiracy like you probably think there is, the jungle is the perfect place to hide it." Hau's sarcastic emphasis on "big conspiracy" indicates his doubts that there is any, and his knowledge of Ira's paranoia. Once, at school, Ira saw a kid who was walking fine in the morning and limping in the afternoon; he had thought that there was a student mafia (run by psychics, naturally) who had beaten the kid for some reason. It turned out that the kid had twisted his ankle in gym class.

Kane had inhaled his corn pops while everyone else was focused on socializing. This was why they would never be superb heroes like him, they never knew how to eat efficiently.
"If we get into the Jungle, we can just ask some of the local pokemon if they've seen anything weird. It would be easy peasy"

Ira nods, thinking enough that he doesn't notice Hau's tone. "Dunno about easy, but it might be a decent place to start."

After breakfast, a leisurely stroll upon the Alolan beach ends with you standing before the jungle. The difference could not be more stark. The flat, almost lifeless, monochromatic, sandy beach looks quite plain and unexciting compared to the vivacious, colorful, convoluted jungle. The sounds of strange Pokemon emerge from the tangled mess of plants and vines; every so often, flying-type Pokemon emerge from the jungle canopy to flutter about overhead. It's really quite breathtaking. A Parasect trundles by, a coconut clutched tightly in one claw. It waves cheerily when it spots you before continuing into the jungle.

Now with guitar on her back Elise waves back at the Parasect.
"So shall we head in?" Elise asked her brothers.

Kane waves at the parasect, and gets intrigued with where it may be taking the coconut, so he decides to follow it

Ira nods. "Stick together, everyone, can't afford to..." He sighs as Kane wanders off and heads after him, trying to keep an eye on both of his siblings.

The jungle path the Parasect is following is overgrown with vines, plants, and leaves. The Pokemon is able to shuffle through without much trouble, but you keep having to slap leaves and branches out of your face. Eventually, the Parasect stops, cracks the coconut in half on a rock, and proceeds to lap up the spilled coconut milk. The thick foliage turns the sunlight bright emerald green, and the noise around you gives the jungle a wonderful sense of life, but you can't help but wonder... Where the heck are you?

Kane looks around and notices that the jungle looks less familiar than earlier. He looks around to see if he can get a sight on his siblings
"Iraaaaa? Eliiiise? . . . Tapu Koko?"

Ira pops through the foliage, having briefly fallen behind Kane as he was following him.
"Relax, Kane, I'm here. If you want, we can head back - hasn't been too long, so Chase can probably follow our scent trail back - but we should probably look around first, see if we can find what we're looking for."

The tranquil jungle is disturbed by the sound of a ridiculously loud electric guitar being played. '80s rock music intermingles with the reverbed voice of Kane's favorite bard: "♫THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!♪" Ryuki, it seems, has found an guitar amplifier and a microphone. And possibly the world's loudest speakers; it's tough to tell. Startled Pokemon stampede past you in alarm, eager to get away from that noise.

"I'am here!" Elise says while catching up with Kane
"Oh dear Arceus. You got to be kidding me. Elise said in annoyance.

Kane plugs his ears, and blinks in the direction of Ryuki
"HI BARD! YOU'RE SCARING OFF THE WILDLIFE! HOW ARE YOU DOING??"
