Once Alice and I are back at the Master Dojo, Mustard is already at the battlefield, and he grins at us, saying, "Ah, there you are, Ash, Alice! Keeping this old man waiting, hmm?"

"Sorry, Master Mustard," we apologize in unison. He just laughs heartily, his joviality putting us at ease. "Relax, you two. I'm not angry with you. Since you've completed all three trials... I'll give you the secret armor of the Master Dojo!"

As he takes out two Pokeballs, he continues, "Now then... Come on out!"

Suddenly, two small, grey bear-like Pokemon pop out of the Pokeballs. One of them starts to punch Mustard playfully in the hands, while the other kicks the pillars in the room. Thankfully, it doesn't leave a scratch, or else the dojo would need some serious repairs.

As Alice and I move forward towards the two small, shy-looking Pokemon, we immediately hide behind Mustard. He chuckles and reassures us, "This Pokemon is, in fact, the secret armor of the Master Dojo! Say hello to... Kubfu!"

"Kubfu? But it looks so little..." I express my surprise. "I mean... I thought that Armor is like an armor, which we can wear..."

"I know... I know... It's tiny," Mustard acknowledges, "But raise them with diligence, and it'll become strong enough to see you through any battle, just like a suit of armor. No opponent will be able to get past it!"

"Really?" Alice asks with a hopeful tone.

"These ones, in particular, have amazing potential! The problem is, they're a bit shy... It just doesn't seem to have much confidence in themselves," Mustard explains. "So I was thinking, Ash, Alice! Maybe if it joins you on your adventure, that'll help it break out of its shell a little bit! So take good care of Kubfu, 'kay? It's in your hands now!"

The two bear Pokemon sense that we are not hostile as they cautiously approach us. With smiles on our faces, we say, "It's nice to meet you, Kubfu." Kubfu responds with a warm smile of its own.

Kubfu: The Wushu Pokemon: Fighting Type. Kubfu trains hard to perfect its moves. The moves it masters will determine which form it takes when it evolves.

Mustard continues his instructions, "Now then... The first thing for you to do is become best friends with Kubfu! You need to build trust! Kubfu hasn't really had a chance to explore the world outside the dojo, so... Maybe it'll help you become better friends if you let it have a look around! Maybe take it to a spot that has a great view of the Isle of Armor! I'll have my students standing at good spots, so just keep an eye out!"

"That will be great, Master Mustard," Alice and I respond in unison.

He adds, "And of course, having battles or camping out together will also help you become more friendly toward each other. What else...? Well, right now I can't think of some now... You'll be friends in no time if you walk together! Go and take a stroll with Kubfu, why don't you? Once you're best buddies, we'll start Kubfu's training in earnest. Just stop by and let me know once you think you're ready!"

After bidding farewell to Mustard, we encounter Honey, who seems eager to talk to us. She asks, "Ash, Alice. Just the people I wanted to see! Tell me... Do you collect Watts?"

I reply, "Well, we did collect some since we wanted to find some good rewards from the Digging Duo back in the day. Why do you ask?"

"You know, I've actually been trying to gather up Watts to spruce up the dojo a bit, get some more gear... but both my darling hubby and my son are more the indoor types, you know?"

"I didn't know about that," Alice remarks.

Honey continues, "And it is pretty hard for me to collect that many Watts all on my own... If you ever happen to have some Watts to spare, Ash, Alice, I'd be glad to take them."

"Well, we don't have any Watts with us right now, but if we find some in the Isle of Armor, then we'll be happy to share them with you. Is that okay?" I offer.

Honey smiles and responds, "That would be nice."

As we prepare to leave, Alice turns to me and asks, "Why are we doing this, Ash?"

I explain my perspective, "Think about it, Alice. We are also members of the dojo. It would be great if we contribute to upgrading the dojo so that we can use the facilities and make the place even better, right?"

Alice sighs and nods, conceding, "That may be true."

Once we step outside of the dojo, Alice turns to me and asks, "So what should we do first?"

I suggest with enthusiasm, "How about we continue our Diglett finding?"

Alice smiles in agreement, and we set off together to continue our exploration and search for hidden Diglett on the Isle of Armor. As we stand at Challenge Beach, our attention is drawn to a towering structure in the distance. Alice ponders aloud, "I wonder what the tower is doing here..."

I consult my map and reply, "According to my map, it's called the Tower of Waters. It doesn't provide much of a description for what's inside the tower, but I believe there's another one known as the Tower of Darkness located at the Challenge Road."

As we continue our search for Digletts on Challenge Beach, we manage to find nine more, bringing our total count to 56 Digletts that will be returning to their trainer. In gratitude, the trainer rewards us with an Alolan Raichu, which surprisingly annoys Pikachu.

Afterward, we make our way to the Training Lowlands, which is situated just past the treacherous ocean. We notice some Sharpedos in the water, prompting Alice to comment, "The seas here in the Isle of Armor sure are dangerous..."

"Yeah," I agree, "So this is the Training Lowlands..."

Alice expresses her excitement, saying, "I got past here because I wanted to find the Max Mushrooms, but now I can finally explore it without any problem."

With newfound enthusiasm, we venture into the Training Lowlands to see what lies ahead.

As we explore the Training Lowlands, we come across a friendly couple who introduces themselves as the Digging Pa and Digging Ma.

Digging Pa says with a proud smile, "So you know about the Digging Duo? They are actually our sons."

I acknowledge, "Well, it's thanks to them that we managed to find more fossils and Evolution Stones." I then curiously ask, "But what are you doing here?"

Digging Ma explains, "As you can see, we are here finding the stones known as Armorite Ore. I think you know what they are, right?"

Both Alice and I nod, as we have received some Armorite Ore from Honey for move learning. Digging Pa proposes, "If you give me seven of them, then I will try to dig out some Watts for you. How does that sound?"

Alice appears a bit puzzled and inquires, "Watts? You can dig Watts from the ground?"

Digging Ma confidently responds, "Of course! So, how does it sound?"

We decide to give it a try, and to our surprise, we unearth a significant amount of Watts. Digging Pa exclaims, "That's 500,000 Watts we have dug."

"500,000 Watts? That's more than enough for what we need. Can we really take these?" I ask in astonishment.

"Of course, if you want some more, feel free to ask us," the Digging Ma says warmly.

We express our gratitude, take the Watts, and continue on our journey. Afterward, we return to the Diglett Trainer with 15 more Digletts, bringing our total count to 71. In appreciation, the trainer rewards us with an Alolan Marowak.

As we explore the Fields of Honor, I notice a hole in the ground. I suggest, "Well, we haven't gone to the Courageous Cavern. Why don't we go inside?"

Alice agrees, saying, "Sure." Together, we enter the cave, not only spotting some interesting Pokémon but also discovering some Max Mushrooms hidden inside. Alice remarks, "There are also some Max Mushrooms as well."

"Yeah," I agree, "Speaking of it, maybe we can pick up some more if there are Pokémon in the Isle of Armor that might be Gigantamaxing as well." We proceed to collect the Max Mushrooms before leaving the cave.

Upon exiting, we find ourselves inside a bay, surrounded by beautiful scenery. A dojo student notices us and waves, calling out, "Ash, Alice, over here!"

We walk over to the student, who suggests, "You've got to see the view from here. Come on, why don't you and Kubfu enjoy the scenery together?"

I take in the breathtaking view and comment, "Well, this place sure is nice." Kubfu seems equally excited about the location, and together, we enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Isle of Armor.

Following our exploration of Loop Lagoon, we decide to venture into Brawler's Cave next. As expected, we encounter another student from the Master Dojo inside the cave. Once again, we all take a moment to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Isle of Armor together.

As we make our way to Challenge Road, we spot a Skarmory flying in the area. Alice remarks, "A Skarmory... This place sure is full of strange Pokémon."

"Indeed," I agree, "And look how high up we are..." I notice the cliff's edge, and we both take a moment to appreciate the awe-inspiring view.

Another dojo student joins us, and together, we soak in the breathtaking scenery of Challenge Road. As we continue exploring and collecting more Diglett, our count reaches 100.

Upon returning to the Diglett Trainer, we receive an unexpected gift - a Popplio. In addition to Popplio, we also receive another surprise gift - an Exeggutor.

Inside the Warm Up Tunnel, we find a multitude of Ground-type Pokémon residing there. Alice reminisces, "This is where I found three clusters of Max Mushrooms in the same place. Though Klara wanted to fight me for them."

I chuckle and respond, "It's a good thing you won in the end. Though I found a cave full of Max Mushrooms, and I did try to offer Avery some, but he refused and requested a battle instead."

As we observe the Pokémon in the area, I remark, "But this place gives me the feeling of Kanto. Sandshrew and Sandslash, Cubone and Marowak, and even Kangaskhan are here. Living in Alola for a year made me almost forget what Sandshrew, Sandslash, and Marowak look like."

Exiting the cave, we find ourselves in the Potbottom Desert. Alice expresses her surprise, saying, "A desert is something I didn't expect to find in the Isle of Armor."

I agree with a sense of wonder, "I know... but it is amazing." We continue to explore the unexpected desert landscape in the Isle of Armor.

After finishing our exploration of the Potbottom Desert, we decide to return to the dojo. Before visiting Mustard, we make a stop at Honey's place and show her the impressive amount of Watts we've collected.

Honey looks at us in shock and asks, "What's this? How did you manage to get all those Watts in just a few hours?"

I explain, "Well, we met Digging Pa and Digging Ma, and they helped us dig up these Watts. Are these enough?"

Honey smiles and responds, "They are more than enough, of course. With these, the Dojo is going to be brand new."

We feel proud to have made a significant contribution to the Master Dojo and its facilities.

As Alice and I explore the upgraded Master Dojo, we're amazed by the changes that have taken place. We notice a hairstylist who has become quite secretive about his work, a newly installed Rotomi near the battlefield (although it breaks when we first use it, costing us 10,000 more Watts to fix), and several vending machines offering a variety of items, including battle items, drinks like Soda Pop and Lemonade, and supplements like Protein, Iron, Calcium, Zinc, HP Up, and Carbos. There's even a new refrigerator for collecting camp cooking ingredients like Fruit Bunch, Moomoo Cheese, Large Leek, and Sausages. Additionally, we find a Dojo League card background that we can use to customize our League cards.

Honey expresses her gratitude, saying, "Thank you for helping improve the Dojo. I think I can thank you guys with this." She gives each of us her League card.

Alice asks curiously, "Ms. Honey, are you a strong battler? Will we be able to battle you?"

Honey confidently replies, "Of course, I'm a strong trainer after all. But before we have a battle, I'm sure you have some unfinished business with my hubby, right?"

I nod and say, "Oh, right. We need to show him the progress of our Kubfu." We bid farewell to Honey and head to the next room to find Mustard.

"Honey is the former CEO of a trading firm. She met Mustard while visiting Galar during one of her many business trips, and it was love at first sight. They were married shortly afterward. She now works as the dojo matron—cooking, cleaning, advertising, and taking care of finances. She also keeps an eye on the mental health of students. What's more, she's also the creator of Max Soup. She used the forest mushrooms in her soup as a way to cut costs, and this caused her Pokémon to Gigantamax. Her latest ambition is to sell ready-made Max Soup across the world. Her motto is teamwork."

Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, I decided to put all the watt upgrades except for Honey related to this story. Ash and Alice also explore the four places that Mustard requested them to go and they also gain a lot of friendship with Kubfu. I also didn't want to write about Diglett after finding 50, the rewards become 75 and then 100. I hope you like it and the next one is going to be the two Towers.
