A '''Trial Captain''' (Japanese: '''キャプテン''' ''Captain'') is a [[Human|person]] who designs and presides over a certain [[island challenge]] trial and gives guidance to participating {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. All of the Trial Captains have previously completed their own island challenge a few years prior. They retire from their position when they turn 20. Like [[Gym Leader]]s, they [[Type expert|specialize]] in certain [[type]]s of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. There are usually seven Trial Captains at one period of time to match the seven ordinary trials in the island challenge, although as shown by the [[Vast Poni Canyon]] trial, a trial can exist in a functional form without a Captain to preside over it.

Normally, Captains are chosen by the island's [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]]. However, in special circumstances, they may be chosen by the previous Captain, as was the case when [[Molayne]] chose [[Sophocles]] to succeed him after retiring.

The concept of Trial Captains has not yet been addressed in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Instead, Trials are typically supervised by their corresponding island's [[Island Kahuna|Kahuna]] or another adult.
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, trialgoers can freely challenge a [[Totem Pokémon]] without having someone to supervise them. As a result, trials are not presided by Trial Captains. However, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, and {{an|Mallow}} have appeared as students of the [[Pokémon School]] and {{ashcl|classmates}} of {{Ash}}. They all debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

[[Ilima]] debuted in ''[[SM065|Turning Heads and Training Hard!]]'' as a graduate of the Pokémon School.
 
[[Acerola]] debuted in ''[[SM073|Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime?]]'' as a girl living in a library on [[Ula'ula Island]]. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, she has a close relationship with [[Nanu]]. She also provided support for Ash with his Ula'ula Island grand trial.
 
[[Mina]] debuted in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'' as a wandering artist. With the assistance of her {{p|Ribombee}}, Mina can detect the emotions of both humans and Pokémon.

[[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], and [[Mallow]] are the first Trial Captains to appear in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. The three are initially reluctant to recognize {{adv|Sun}} as a trialgoer, but after a battle with him, Kiawe bonds with Sun and accepts him. Lana, however, still holds some reservations, and leads Sun and her peers to [[Brooklet Hill]].
[[Lana]], [[Kiawe]], and [[Mallow]] are the first Trial Captains to appear in [[Pokémon Adventures]], debuting in ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]''. The three are initially reluctant to recognize {{adv|Sun}} as a trialgoer, but soon Sun and Kiawe bond with each other upon learning that both of them have the same goal of saving [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] for a certain purpose. Lana, still unconvinced, leads Sun to [[Brooklet Hill]] for her trial. Eventually Sun manages to complete Lana's trial by calming the local [[Totem Pokémon]], earning her respect.
 
While Sun and Lana travel to Brooklet Hill, {{adv|Moon}} and Mallow head to [[Lush Jungle]] to find the special [[Mirage Berry]] meant to be delivered for the [[guardian deities]] of Alola. After witnessing a {{p|Xurkitree}} battling {{p|Tapu Lele}} in the sky above the forest, the two start searching for the Mirage Berry, which they eventually find with the help of the local [[wild Pokémon]].
 
Later, after [[Professor Kukui]]'s boat is attacked by a wild {{p|Bruxish}}, Sun and Moon are saved and brought to the [[Aether House]], where they meet Trial Captain [[Acerola]], who tasks Sun with clearing her trial at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}. Sun eventually clears the trial by befriending the local Totem Pokémon, a {{p|Mimikyu}}, which he even {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} and adds to his [[party|team]].
 
[[Ilima]], the sole Trial Captain of [[Melemele Island]], later joins Acerola, the Trial Captains of Akala, and [[Hau]] in traveling to [[Po Town]] to talk with [[Team Skull]]. However, when they arrive at Team Skull's base, they are surrounded and attacked by a group of [[Ultra Beast]]s, which are soon revealed to have been summoned by a {{p|Cosmog}} in [[Guzma]]'s possession. The Ultra Beasts eventually break out of Po Town and start rampaging around [[Ula'ula Island]], forcing [[Molayne]] and [[Sophocles]] to start evacuating people to the [[Hokulani Observatory]].
 
==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Trial Captains use the Trainer battle theme from [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], instead of the Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon version of said theme.

Revision as of 04:28, 10 June 2019

018Pidgeot.png It has been suggested that this article be moved to Captain (Trainer class).
Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page.

A Trial Captain (Japanese: キャプテン Captain) is a person who designs and presides over a certain island challenge trial and gives guidance to participating Trainers. All of the Trial Captains have previously completed their own island challenge a few years prior. They retire from their position when they turn 20. Like Gym Leaders, they specialize in certain types of Pokémon. They can be identified by the flower-shaped adornment they wear someplace on their bodies, each with a different colored jewel to represent their specialized type. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, there are seven Trial Captains who each preside over a trial in the island challenge, although as shown by the Vast Poni Canyon trial, a trial can exist in a functional form without a Captain to preside over it.

Normally, Captains are chosen by the island's Kahuna. However, in special circumstances, they may be chosen by the previous Captain, as was the case when Molayne chose Sophocles to succeed him after retiring.

All Trial Captains keep their Pokémon in Ultra Balls, with the exception of Lana, who uses Net Balls instead.

In the anime

In the anime, trialgoers can freely challenge a Totem Pokémon without having someone to supervise them. As a result, trials are not presided by Trial Captains. However, Lana, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Mallow have appeared as students of the Pokémon School and classmates of Ash. They all debuted in Alola to New Adventure!.

Ilima debuted in Turning Heads and Training Hard! as a graduate of the Pokémon School.

Acerola debuted in Why Not Give Me a Z-Ring Sometime? as a girl living in a library on Ula'ula Island. Like in the games, she has a close relationship with Nanu. She also provided support for Ash with his Ula'ula Island grand trial.

Mina debuted in The Shape of Love to Come! as a wandering artist. With the assistance of her Ribombee, Mina can detect the emotions of both humans and Pokémon.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Lana, Kiawe, and Mallow are the first Trial Captains to appear in Pokémon Adventures, debuting in Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island. The three are initially reluctant to recognize Sun as a trialgoer, but soon Sun and Kiawe bond with each other upon learning that both of them have the same goal of saving money for a certain purpose. Lana, still unconvinced, leads Sun to Brooklet Hill for her trial. Eventually Sun manages to complete Lana's trial by calming the local Totem Pokémon, earning her respect.

While Sun and Lana travel to Brooklet Hill, Moon and Mallow head to Lush Jungle to find the special Mirage Berry meant to be delivered for the guardian deities of Alola. After witnessing a Xurkitree battling Tapu Lele in the sky above the forest, the two start searching for the Mirage Berry, which they eventually find with the help of the local wild Pokémon.

Later, after Professor Kukui's boat is attacked by a wild Bruxish, Sun and Moon are saved and brought to the Aether House, where they meet Trial Captain Acerola, who tasks Sun with clearing her trial at the Thrifty Megamart. Sun eventually clears the trial by befriending the local Totem Pokémon, a Mimikyu, which he even catches and adds to his team.

Ilima, the sole Trial Captain of Melemele Island, later joins Acerola, the Trial Captains of Akala, and Hau in traveling to Po Town to talk with Team Skull. However, when they arrive at Team Skull's base, they are surrounded and attacked by a group of Ultra Beasts, which are soon revealed to have been summoned by a Cosmog in Guzma's possession. The Ultra Beasts eventually break out of Po Town and start rampaging around Ula'ula Island, forcing Molayne and Sophocles to start evacuating people to the Hokulani Observatory.
