Chapter 272 Hunting from the Ultimate Investigation Team, Hapuu's Story(2/3)
"That's right!"
"Hmm... Okay, but don't call me sir or anything like that. I should be a few years younger than you, just call me by my name."
Hoshino did not refuse the other party's request. Although Poni Island is now running for the island king, there is actually only one person participating.
The king of the islands is too tired, and Poni Island itself is different from other islands and too poor. No one is willing to take over this position.
But even if only one person participates, who will be the king of the island is still determined by the patron saint Kapu Fin Fin, so the position is still vacant until now.
Seeing that he agreed, Hapuu nodded very happily. She had always paid attention to Hoshino's contribution to Alola. If she wanted to become the queen of the island, she must have contributions and responsibilities to Alola. Since they met this time, maybe
You can learn it.
The grouping ended soon after, and everyone separated in the Ocean Resident Village, heading towards the ultimate cave they were responsible for. As the leader of the group, Gladion still chose to follow Hoshino and the others secretly. There was nothing his colleagues could do to him.
…
Over at the Poni Forest where Hoshino and Hapuu are going, the Ultimate Cave appeared an hour ago. The Ultimate Beast appears in a new environment and usually does not run too far in a short period of time.
One of them rode a motorcycle lizard and the other rode a desert dragonfly. They were both very fast. They arrived here quickly and started searching.
"Be careful. The wild Pokémon on Poni Island have less contact with human society. They are generally very wild and can be easily injured if you are not careful."
As a local, Hapuu was very familiar with this. He reminded him after landing, but Hoshino didn't care and sent Sai Fuhou to ask the wild Pokémon around him.
"Don't worry, I usually get along well with wild Pokémon. Maybe some of them have been helped by me."
"Help wild Pokémon?"
"Yes, if you want to become the queen of the island, just thinking about the development of Poni Island is not enough. Not only humans live on Poni Island, but also these Pokémon..."
Hoshino smiled and talked about these things to Hapuu. Of course, he didn't know what the patron saint's requirements were for choosing the king of the island.
But according to his own experience, the Alola region has never been built by humans alone. Pokémon who often appear on the streets and live in harmony with humans are also indispensable.
Although he didn't know who had given him the title "Alola Star Within Star Within Star", at least not only the residents of Alola, but also the wild Pokémon would say so.
After hearing this, Hapuu nodded as if she understood. She actually had no experience. The last king of the island was her grandfather.
After her grandfather passed away, she only thought about taking over his position and making better development for Poni Island. In order to improve her own strength, she even traveled to other areas for a long time to learn.
She can now be regarded as the strongest trainer on Poni Island... Although there are not many people on Poni Island itself, with a permanent population of less than 20,000.
But it was too difficult to get the approval of the patron saint. She had been to the ruins on the other side several times but had not seen him, and she couldn't even ask why.
While the two were standing there talking, Saifuhao who had gone out also came back, and also spent gold coins to ask about the situation from a throwing monkey.
The other party said that they saw a monster with lightning all over its body coming out of the hole and then running towards the dense woods to the north.
"Breaking electricity..."
Hapuu took out the information given by the International Police and was about to look through it. Hoshino glanced at the north and said directly: "UB03: Thunder and Lightning, Electric Beam Wood!"
"Yes, UB03: Thunder and Lightning, so you have memorized it all, but what is the Electric Beam Wood?"
"It's just a nickname, just go after him."
"Wait a minute, I have to go somewhere first!"
"Don't waste time..."
"It's nearby, soon!"
"..."
Hoshino shook his head, and then followed Hapuu to a tree not far away. He saw a very thick bamboo growing in the soil below, but the end seemed to have been cut in half.
But in front of this bamboo, someone unknown placed some crops as tribute. Hapuwu just stood in front of the bamboo with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, as if he was praying for something.
However, Hoshino looked at this bamboo and frowned slightly. It looked familiar to him, but he seemed to be the only one who noticed the problem. Neither New Leaf Meowth nor Motorized Lizard thought that this might be a Pokémon.
With doubts, he asked Maomao in a low voice: "Do you feel anything about this bamboo?"
"Meow……"
Maomao shook his head and felt that it was just a thicker bamboo, nothing special. Motorized Lizard and Saifuhao also thought so.
"Yeah……"
Hoshino frowned slightly, suspecting that he might have made a mistake, but then Tie Baobao screamed twice, as if he had discovered something.
"Didi!"
"Huh? You said there is a big guy here?"
"Didi——"
Iron Baggage nodded. There was a very large object buried in the soil. Part of its structure was similar to it, but it might have died. Only a few residual energy fluctuations could be traced.
Because the structure is similar and there are mechanical components inside, only Iron Baggage is aware that this is a relatively special mechanical life form, but it is not of the same kind.
"It died, no wonder..."
Hoshino asked why there was a Iron Fire Kaguya buried here, but he didn't get any information. He thought it was a double yolk egg that came out of an ultimate hole and two ultimate alien beasts.
So after Hapuu finished praying, he curiously asked: "What is this bamboo?"
"Bamboo can bring good luck. My grandfather told me when he brought me here to play when I was a child. As long as you pray with your heart, you can bring yourself good luck..."
Hapuwu explained it seriously, but then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Even though I said that, after my grandfather passed away, I found out from his diary that this bamboo was actually the place where he buried a dead Pokémon.
After the dream, it grew again..."
With that said, she rode on the Desert Dragonfly and Hoshino and continued to set off, and then continued: "He saw a fire in the Poni Forest that night, so when he came to put out the fire in a hurry, the patron saint suddenly appeared, as if he wanted to fly something into the sky
Things were knocked down, and even the ground shook."
"After the fire was put out, while he was rescuing the Pokémon injured by the fire, he found the dead Pokémon lying in the pit. He thought it was caused by the fire, so he buried it here.
Because Poni Island has always been said to return to the earth, the ruins on the other shore are named after this."
"But he didn't expect that when the second year passed, this bamboo would grow on the ground. He thought this was the new life of that Pokémon."
"The creatures of Poni Island were born on the earth, grew up on the earth, and worshiped the earth... Grandpa has always believed in this. Maybe he wanted me to know this, saying that this bamboo can bring good luck."
"So I used to come here to pray before doing anything, and put the crops I planted here as tribute. Even though I later found out it was fake, it has become a habit. Maybe this is a kind of
Psychological comfort!”
After hearing what Hapuu said, Hoshino understood that this Iron Fire Kaguya probably came to Alola more than ten years ago. Unfortunately, its ability caused a fire and was killed by the angry Kapu Fin.
.
The king of the island at that time definitely knew this. What weight did Tiehuo Kaguya weigh? When it fell on the ground, it created a huge crater and the entire forest swayed.
For such an enemy that caused forest fires and incurred the wrath of the patron saint, the king of the island chose to let it return to the earth and forgive its mistakes.
It is enough to show that he must be a very kind person, so he feels that the bamboo has been given a new life when it grows... Although this bamboo is probably just the arm of Tehuo Kaguya that accidentally protruded.
The iron baggage slid aside and listened to these stories, but it looked back again, feeling that the other party was not dead...
The two led the Pokémon through the woods, and along the way they found many traces of trees being scorched by electricity, and some were left behind by Xin, which showed that the target was not far away.
At this time, the sound of waves came, and they had arrived near the shore of Ponigulang Rock. They were very close to the ruins on the other side. And right in front of them, there was a strange Pokémon that looked like a human-shaped wire and a little like a Christmas tree.
The electric light is flashing!
"Found it!"
Hapuu took out the Poké Ball and prepared to fight, but at this moment, a special effect similar to the Ultimate Hole suddenly appeared!
Then, the electric beam wood disappeared instantly without any struggle, and then a strange blue elf ball with mesh stripes fell to the ground and began to shake. Finally, the sound of successful conquering came out.
"this……"
Hapuu was stunned on the spot, what kind of strange poke ball is this? Has the ultimate beast been subdued?
"Ultimate Ball?!"
Hoshino was also stunned for a moment, and he instantly recognized this strange elf ball.
But then, a figure quietly appeared. The figure was wearing a strange protective suit. He was tall and mature, with long blue hair hanging on his left shoulder. His long bangs also covered his right eye. He only wore goggles on his face.
It's impossible to see clearly its delicate appearance.
This strange woman picked up the ultimate ball from the ground, then looked at the two of them, slightly opened her lips with blue lipstick, and said politely: "Sorry, I might have scared you."
Such a strange man suddenly appeared, holding a strange elf ball. Hapuwu became vigilant and immediately asked: "Who are you!"
"My name is Mi Ling, and I am a member of the Ultimate Investigation Team. I am currently capturing these Ultra Beasts. Have you seen any other Ultra Beasts?"
The woman who claimed to be Mi Ling of the Ultimate Investigation Team said this, but judging by her tone, she didn't seem to have any hostility towards them. It was just that these targets had collided and she had to give an explanation.
Hoshino looked at her silently and asked deliberately: "Ultimate Investigation Team? Are you from other small worlds in the ultimate space?"
Hearing this, Mi Ling seemed a little surprised: "You know it very well... I did come to this world just a month ago, and I am still learning the culture of this world. If I say anything wrong, please forgive me.
But I still have something to do, first..."
Before she finished speaking, her eyes lingered on Hoshino's left wrist for a moment, and she suddenly changed the topic and shouted excitedly: "This Z bracelet... I remembered it. No wonder I think you look familiar. Aren't you that Hoshino?"
, I’ve seen you on video!”
"Ah? Oh...yes, it's me!"
Hoshino admitted with a smile that he thought he had met a fan, but after receiving the confirmation, Mi Ling seemed to become serious, raised the ultimate ball in his hand, and said: "Then hand over the Z bracelet and those Z pure crystals of yours."
Come out, I only want this and I won’t hurt you!”
"Ha... So that's what I had in mind, then give me the Ultimate Ball!"
After hearing the other party's purpose, Hoshino was naturally no longer polite. He originally wanted to persuade him to put in a good word and get the Ultimate Ball, but since the other party wanted to target his Z bracelet, he was embarrassed...
He waved his hand violently, and Tie Bao Bao next to him instantly understood what he meant. He grabbed his tail and was about to suck the ultimate ball in front of him, but Mi Ling did not hesitate and directly sent the newly conquered Dian Beam Wood to fight.
"Electric beam wood, one hundred thousand volts!"
After hearing the opponent's words, Iron Baggage immediately changed its attack, from inhaling to releasing, and the blizzard was sprayed directly from its tail.
But Dian Zhumu did not obey Mi Ling's order. He raised his hands with the cables entwined together, and the powerful current was released instantly. Coupled with the humid environment at the seaside, the power of the discharge was increased!
"Well?"
To be continued...
