==Synopsis== 
Yazmyne battles a fish monster Pokemon. 
==Summary==
Yazmyne and her friends enter Brooklet Hill arrive and observe the amazing landscape. Yazmyne and Megan call on their Starmie and Buizel to enjoy the waters and exercise while they search for a Waterium Z. Dante asks how they are going to acquire this Z-Crystal, and they all remember something about Totem Pokemon though Sumri did not give the full details of what a Totem Pokemon is. A man calls out that they simply need to "catch" the Totem Pokemon with a fishing rod. The young man introduces himself as Herbert, the Trial Captain of Brooklet Hill. Herbert explains that Trial Captains help island challengers find and battle Totem Pokemon to earn their Z-Crystal. He explains that Totem Pokemon do not suddenly appear, they need to be called, summoned, entertained, tricked, or even coerced to appear.
The three trainers accept the conditions but note that they actually have to go out to the open waters of the lake to catch the Totem Pokemon, and Yazmyne is the only person who has a Pokemon that can carry a person on its back while swimming. Herbert says that he has a boat they can borrow, but they will have to fish for a Feebas to trade him. Megan suggests that Yazmyne go ahead and seek out the Totem Pokemon herself while she and Dante catch up after her. Yazmyne protests, but Dante quickly understands and agrees. Dante explains that there are three of them and three trials on Akala Island, meaning each of them will have to defeat a Totem Pokemon and claim a Z-Crystal. Dante says that Yazmyne will be the first of them while he and Megan will assist when they can.
Herbert gives the three trainers a Fishing Rod to borrow for the trial. Yazmyne nervously boards Starmie, whom she has never ridden before, and Starmie swims out into the waters of Brooklet Hill while Megan and Dante begin fishing for the very elusive Feebas.
While out in the waters alone, Yazmyne begins fishing for the unknown Totem Pokemon. Yazmyne calls out Pidget and Butterfree to stay by her side and battle any Pokemon that attack her. Yazmyne regularly fishes up Magikarp and an another blue fish-like Pokemon that she does not recognize. When the small Pokemon attack, Butterfree blows them away with Silver Wind but Pidgeot does not act, not wanting to exert energy against such weak Pokemon. Yazmyne fishes up another blue fish Pokemon, which Pidgeot swats away when it approaches her. Yazmyne notices that the small blue fish had a faint but mysterious golden glow surrounding it.
In the waters, the small blue fish glows and Yazmyne can see multiple more fish gathering beneath her and the unknown massive Totem Pokemon bursts out of the waters for a crashing wave that throws Yazmyne off of Starmie but Butterfree uses Confusion to catch her before she crashes into the waters. The Totem Pokemon roars and summons rain via Rain Dance. Yazmyne turns to Pidgeot who is now eager to battle the massive Pokemon. Thinking on her feet, Yazmyne decides continue riding Starmie while Pidgeot attacks and Butterfree defends. Pidgeot begins to blow away the Totem Pokemon with Twister. Butterfree follow-up with Psybeam, but the attack is blocked by Aqua Ring, which also allows the Totem Pokemon to heal. Pidgeot dodges a Water Gun and uppercuts the Totem Pokemon with Aerial Ace. Pidget uses Double Team to evade a following Aqua Tail, but the clones are soon eliminated. Yazmyne orders Butterfree and Pidgeot to combine Silver Wind and Twister, which creates a magnificent contest combination.
The Totem Pokemon has taken heavy damage and suddenly roars, which causes an Alomomola to appear and use Heal Pulse and heal the Totem Pokemon. Alomomola then uses Helping Hand to empower the Totem Pokemon's Aqua Tail. Pidgeot dodges but Butterfree tries to smother the attack with Psybeam, but he is blasted hard and crashes into the water, unable to battle. Yazmyne recalls him.
Soon, Megan and Dante call out to Yazmyne on their boat, being propelled by Buizel, revealing they had caught and traded in the Feebas. Dante calls out a new Pokemon, a Surskit who uses Sticky Web to restrain Alomomola and stop it from interfering in the battle. Surskit then blasts Alomomola with Signal Beam. Starmie helps Yazmyne to the boat, and she asks where the Surskit came from. Megan shares Dante caught it while they were searching for Feebas. Yazmyne asks how that adventure went as well, but Dante reminds the girls they are in the middle of a battle. The monster fish attacks with Water Gun, and Yazmyne commands Starmie to use Cosmic Power. Starmie glows, building its defenses and willingly takes the attack, shrugging it off. Starmie then lands a Bubble Beam.
Megan asks what the monster fish is, and Yazmyne explains that it is a Totem Pokemon, and she explains how it came to be, leading her to realize that the single Pokemon they are battling is only an amalgam of multiple Pokemon working together at once, so she'll have to split them up. Yazmyne has Pidgeot rain down multiple Twisters which keep the slow Totem Pokemon flinched and unable to move. Yazmyne orders Starmie to stay underwater and use Rapid Spin until the Pokemon breaks apart. Starmie effectively chips away at the Totem Pokemon, breaking through the Aqua Ring defense and tearing rough the fish until small Pokemon all separate.
The waters subside and the Rain Dance clears. The small fish Pokemon scatter but the lone glowing Pokemon that Pidget originally swatted away swims up to Yazmyne and presents her with the Waterium-Z before returning to the water and its fellow Pokemon. Yazmyne thanks Pidgeot and Starmie for their help and calls them.
The three trainers return to the opening gate of Brooklet Hill where they are uncomfortable and soaked. Herbert hands the trainers towels, and Yazmyne asks how Megan and Dante found the Feebas to which Herbert said they cheated. Megan says that she and Dante spent time fishing but then realized she could have BUizel dive and find the wild Feebas for them, which Yazmyne thinks was a great idea. Herbert and asks Yazmyne what it was like to face the Totem Wishiwashi. Yazmyne does not know what a "Wishiwashi" is until she is told it is the name of the Totem Pokemon she challenged. Wishwashi was an ability, Schooling, that allows it to call other of its kind to merge together to form a massive Pokemon. Yazmyne asks why Herbert did not tell them what the Totem Pokeon would be and its ability. Herbert simply says they did not ask; nevertheless, he congratulates her for completing the trial.
