Chapter 518 Goodbye Alora, Hello Galar
Chapter 518 Goodbye Alora, Hello Galar
After exploring Pony Island, the group's next destination was Akala Island.
This is also the only one of the four Alora islands with a volcano.
Koniko City.
What are we here for?
"Of course, I'll take you to challenge the next island king."
As he spoke, Kukui pushed open the door of a shop on the street.
Alora!
Alora!
"Yo, Kukui, what a rare guest... And this young lady is... Rebecca?!"
"..."
Lizhi recognized the person involved at a glance.
She was tall, dressed in a wild style, and had dark skin; she was a unique kind of beauty.
"I never imagined that the king of the island would run such a gem shop."
"It's just a personal hobby; no woman can resist the allure of jewelry, right?"
"Lizhi, let's talk in private."
Kukui pulled her aside and said something.
Only Lillie and Rebecca remained in the store.
They simply looked at each counter.
There were two other female shop assistants in the store.
Fire Stone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, Thunder Stone...
If there are only 4 types of evolution stones, it's not a big deal.
But they also sell almost the complete range of Pokémon fossils here!?
That's quite novel.
If Daigo were to come here, he could probably become close friends with Reiji...
"Ring ring!"
The shop door opened again soon.
Liz and Kukui walked into the store.
"Little girl, aren't you eager to challenge me? Then let's set off."
……
In the remnants of life.
Each of the four island gods has a corresponding altar.
These altars were all constructed using natural materials from the island.
As for the one enshrined here, it is Kapu-Chocho.
"I don't need to repeat the rules, do I?"
“I know I can’t use medication.”
"Rock-mane werewolf!"
"King Nido!"
As soon as Nidoking appeared, he sensed a strong rock-type energy emanating from Liz.
This is a master specializing in the Rock type!
"Sharp Stone Attack!"
[Use an earthquake!]
Rebecca did not give verbal instructions, but instead chose to command with her mind.
"Roar!!!!"
With Nidoking at level 100, it naturally made the first move!
……
In less than 3 minutes.
All of Liz's five fairies are on the verge of death.
"Ah, I really am no match for you, the four-time champion."
"Don't rush off later. If you like any of the stones in my shop, I might as well give you one."
"Really? Thank you so much, big sister!"
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions.
Apart from Rebecca, no one else was aware that Capo-Choco was watching the battle from a thousand meters in the air.
She couldn't very well capture the island god in front of everyone.
The four island gods are sacred and inviolable to the Alora people!
If captured by outsiders.
That would be to become an enemy of all the islanders!
Back at the gem shop in Koniko City, Rebecca selected the "Fossil Fin".
This thing can be restored into an "ice dragon" using fossil restoration techniques!
The Ice Dragon can evolve into the Ice Giant Dragon!
Although it is not the strongest among the fossil spirits.
But it must be the "most beautiful"!!
Of course, Rebecca didn't get this fossil for nothing.
She took several photos with Liz, and signed her name on every single one of the printed photos.
"Yes, I want to frame this photo and hang it in the most prominent place so that every customer who comes into the store can see it!"
"Haha~"
Everyone smiled helplessly.
However, given time, if Rebecca dominates all the regional leagues and becomes a "nine-time champion"!!
The value of these photos would naturally increase accordingly!
Declining Lizhi's enthusiastic invitation, the group flew to the last island.
……
Ula Ula Island, Po Town.
From the air, this city looks completely different from the rest of the Alora region.
The town is surrounded by high walls, and the area inside the walls is covered in graffiti.
It is said that this place is occupied by a gang of thugs called "Skull Team".
Lillie looked worried.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch you."
Rebecca hugged her tightly, assuring her not to panic.
"No, why would you, the 'King of the Islands,' live in a place like this?"
Inside the police station in Po Town.
Mo Dan crossed his legs and sipped his tea.
"Gentlemen, can't you see that this way I can better keep an eye on those thugs?"
"Besides... because of those annoying guys, the house prices here are ridiculously cheap."
"Meow~"
"Meow!"
Inside the police station, you can see the unique Meowth subspecies found only in Alola.
Of course, there are also Meowths in Kanto.
This person is clearly a cat lover.
"I'm here to take on the challenge..."
“I know you, Rebecca.”
"You're quite famous in the underworld. Don't let my appearance fool you, I used to be an Interpol agent."
Merdan played his cards right from the start.
"Besides, your adoptive father, Sakaki, and I are old friends."
"What?!!"
Everyone was shocked!
He and Sakaki are friends?!
Only Lillie was confused.
What is Sakaki? Is he some kind of amazing person?
"Alright, let's fight at the Harvest Ruins."
……
Similar to the other three ruins.
However, this is the place where Kapu-MooMoo is worshipped.
“I am different from other island kings. If you want to fight me, you need to abide by a special rule.”
"What rules?"
"You need to fight three against one, that is, use one Pokémon to deal with the three of mine."
"The battle will end once all three of them are defeated."
"...This little thing shouldn't scare the 'Golden Queen,' right?"
Modan was certain that Rebecca wouldn't refuse.
It unleashed Alolana Boss, Sableye, and Ravenclaw all at once.
"Don't say I'm bullying you."
"After all, you're a four-time champion."
"Ah……"
Rebecca releases Latios to fight.
This is also the first time she has used "Catastrophe" in a formal competition!
"Interesting, this is someone I've never seen before!"
"But it's a psychic type, right? I specialize in dark types."
Modan's elves didn't need him to give any commands; Cat Lord and Sableye, one in front and one behind, launched a surprise attack with a high-five!
The leader of the crows did not make a move, but circled in the air, observing the situation.
This old man is indeed no simpleton!
If you are hit repeatedly by a high-five surprise attack.
The start was extremely unfavorable!!
Moreover, Dark-type moves include Sucker Punch, so you might get completely outmatched!
But she's no ordinary person.
Latios is no ordinary elf!
In an instant, Latios released a psychic blade in front of him, but did not fire it.
This is almost like "turning oneself into a blade" to slash straight at the enemy!
This dazzling, invisible blade takes an unorthodox approach.
Easily dodge the combined attack of the two elves, then head straight for the crow leader in the air.
Only then did the leader of the crows make his move, launching a surprise attack!
[Attack it from behind!]
Latios made a slight move, displaying incredible agility!
I've already tricked all three Pokémon into revealing their moves, and then with a burst of speed, I sent them all flying!
"Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three loud bangs rang out, and in the blink of an eye, all three sprites were embedded in the wall and the ground...
"Amazing! Is that the Eye of Miracles?"
This is the only move that allows psychic powers to counter-attack Dark-type abilities!
"Being able to instantly understand how you lost, uncle, not bad."
"Sigh, I'm getting old. It seems that choosing to retire back then was the right decision."
He handed over the evil-attribute Z-Crystal and led everyone back to the police station.
"Alola is a beautiful place with stunning scenery. If you're not in a hurry to leave, you can really enjoy yourself here..."
"Hmm, I'll think about it."
At this point, Rebecca has defeated all the island kings!
If the league is established here in a few years, it will naturally be given the title of "champion".
She also knew there was more to the story, such as the Ether Foundation and the Skull Team villains.
There are also stories about Ultra Beasts.
But no matter how many stories there are... this world is all an illusion to Ye Kai.
For the sake of the original body of that world.
He should hurry on to the next region.
……
That night, in the suburbs of Hoola.
At Dr. Kukui's research institute.
"I've decided, I'm going to become as strong as Rebecca, that way I'll definitely be able to change Mother's opinion of me!"
"Then you have to keep up the good work!"
After dinner.
Rebecca drifted off to sleep, inhaling the stench of Lillie's feet.
One question lingered in her mind: where should she go next?
……
The next morning, at the port of Hoola.
A luxury passenger ship sailed in.
Lillie waved goodbye to Kukui, Hau, and the others.
"Waaah~ Why was she in such a hurry to leave? I haven't even asked Rebecca for her autograph yet!"
"Don't be sad, Hau, look what this is!"
Lillie took four envelopes out of her bag.
Inside were Rebecca's postcards and autographed photos.
Not only is it signed, but it also bears her inscription: "To my friends in Alola."
To be honest, the Rockets really know how to do business.
They basically have a monopoly on selling Rebecca's swimsuit photos.
It's an incredibly profitable business!
……
"I didn't expect you to arrive in Alola so quietly. We've been looking for you for ages, Lady Rebecca."
The "trio" knelt on one knee in a secret room somewhere on the passenger ship.
It was Musashi, Kojiro, and Nekomamushi.
"Why aren't you staying in Hoenn? What are you doing here?"
"By the way, where's Lt. Surge?"
"We did not know Lord Mt. Surge's whereabouts; we were only notified by headquarters at the last minute."
"Well then, let's report on the organization's recent situation..."
"Yes!"
In the Rockets, the "three-man group" is a classic formation, with a clear division of labor.
Take Musashi and Kojiro as examples.
Kojiro is actually the team's strategist, while Musashi is the one who executes the plan.
As for Cat Boss.
It is no longer just an elf.
It can even command other Pokémon to fight in a team, just like a human trainer!
According to their report, the Rockets have essentially turned Hoenn into a sieve.
However, this infiltration occurs at the economic level.
After all, their villainous organization is only after money, and using force also costs money!
As for the Unova region...
At N's call, the remnants of Team Plasma, the remaining "Seven Sages," were either eliminated or "sold" to Interpol by Team Rocket.
That area has completely fallen...
"You've done a good job. I don't need these elves anyway, so I'll reward them to you..."
As she spoke, she tossed the 30-odd Poké Balls that had appeared in her backpack to the trio.
Some of these elves are pseudo-legendary offspring.
Some are extremely rare, while others are completely unseen in other regions!
"Thank you for the reward, sir!"
"We have also brought a gift with us, please accept it."
"Oh? What could it be..."
Wow, this is fresh Flying Cloud ice cream, and there are over 30 flavors to choose from! It's even sprinkled with gold leaf on top!!
"How did you guys know I had this kind of taste?"
"We are willing to go through fire and water for you, and even die for you! This little Flying Cloud Ice Cream is nothing."
Rebecca uses her superpowers to see through the thoughts of the two.
Interesting, the Rockets don't just run arcades.
After all, who would like a gambler?
If they could infiltrate the daily lives of ordinary people, launder the organization's name, and make money quietly, wouldn't that be incredibly efficient?!
Take this ice cream for example.
Brands of all sizes in Feiyun City.
More than 7% of them were acquired by the Rockets' "Rocket Capital".
Whether it's raw materials from upstream and downstream sources, or employee training.
Even the planting techniques for fruit trees and fruit farmers, and the construction of cold storage facilities...
The next step is to expand our chain stores extensively in the world of Pokémon!
All of this was orchestrated by Kojiro behind the scenes.
Rebecca is just so pleasing to the eye.
He's a rare talent, and handsome too, especially with that blue hair...
……
Late the next night.
The passenger ship finally docked.
The Galar region is a remote area that is predominantly continental.
It has a vast territory and varied terrain.
Rumor has it that a special, mutated natural energy exists here.
It can enable Pokémon to "Dynamax" or even "Gigantamax"!!
Shuizhou Town.
The only port city in the Galar region, located on the eastern coast of the continent.
"I will be waiting here for your triumphant return!"
"Well, at most a week, as short as four days, just wait and see!"
With that, Rebecca headed towards the prominent arena above the town.
The gyms here are all built to be exceptionally large, supposedly specifically for "Dynamax Pokémon".
It's just that it's late at night right now.
The dojo was already closed, so she had no choice but to waste one night.
……
The next morning.
"Bite the turtle, use the water gun!"
A single 100,000-volt shock to a starfish can make it smoke.
These newbies are too weak, so it doesn't interest it at all.
After defeating three or four gym members in a row, Rebecca met Gym Leader Lurina.
Wow, this time this is a real dark-skinned beauty.
Lulina is also a cover model and has always been very popular.
"I am Lurina, Gym Leader of the Water Boat Gym, let's battle!"
She released the barracuda.
Rebecca still chose to use the starfish.
Soon, this salted fish was defeated.
"I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Turns out you're already the champion in four regions. Looks like I'll have to give it my all."
"Gigantamax, Drednaw!!"
The Giant Bracelet in Lulina's hand released powerful energy.
The Poké Ball in her hand turned red and grew larger!
From being able to hold in one hand, it has grown to the size of a basketball...
No, it's bigger than a basketball!!
Then she threw the giant Poké Ball high into the air!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
"Boom!!!"
Gigantamax Turtle has unleashed a massive wave of destruction!
The water in the venue was pushed around, splashing everywhere.
What a powerful aura!
Is this what "Gigantamax" looks like in the original Pokémon world?!
His entire body is filled with violent natural energy, enough to rival the power of a "natural disaster" for a short period of time!
[Tie a knot in the grass!]
You'll understand instantly if you know how to make a gem starfish.
First, they used shadow clones and flashes to confuse the enemy, and then they tripped the behemoth!
"Roar!!!!"
Before he could even make a move, he was instantly killed!
Lulina was completely numb.
She had considered the possibility of losing, but she never expected to lose like this!
