Chapter 272 Hunting from the Ultimate Investigation Team, Hapuu’s Story

In the blink of an eye, Magearna has been living in the Wanshiwuwu for a week, and her arrival undoubtedly brought joy to the inexplicably depressing atmosphere during this period.

It was rare for Hoshino to relax, and he was beginning to get used to it. Magearna competed with him to do the work, and even took care of Pokémon and solved their problems.

Lillie is basically in a happy state every day, and the anxiety caused by not being able to go out freely for a long time is gone. In addition, there are few things to be busy with recently, so she can have a lot of time to do other things.

However, Hoshino has some minor worries. Someone seems to have been stealing food from home recently. I thought it was Xinye Miao and Little Nebula, but after asking around, no one knew.

So he was worried that there might be a thief in the house, but he and the cat squatted for several days without being caught. It didn't matter if the food was stolen, but the important thing was the seasoning, which must not be stolen.

Following the secret: It has been two and a half months since the spicy ingredients were buried in the potted plants, and the fragrance from the roots climbing all over the wall has gradually been mixed with spicy flavors.

Moreover, under Majiana's care in the past few days, the rhizome has grown more vigorously, and new shoots have appeared, which may be about to grow.

For this reason, Hoshino went to beg the stupid boss, and finally, by raising the rent three times, he successfully got the right to expand a small closed attic upstairs and transplant the seasonings into it.

Otherwise, if it continues to be placed in the living room, it will be easy to accidentally get involved in someone's fight and get injured, and it will be somewhat inconvenient and affect the appearance. Today, he and Tie Baobo are busy with this.

Lillie didn't go over to help, mainly because there was nothing she could do to help, so she sat at the desk in the living room, playing with the computer and helping on the website.

The Wanshiwu website has not been specifically promoted, because Hoshino wants it to develop on its own, just like the Wanshiwu itself, it expands little by little and takes big steps, which is somewhat disadvantageous.

After carefully answering several questions from students who asked for answers in the exam, she started to chat again...

Meiyue: "Xiaoyang and I are visiting the Rockets base together after challenging the gym in Yuhong City. However, the tickets are so expensive, 2887 a piece. I even suspect that the Rockets members have re-employed. I heard that they used to go here.

It was disguised as an arcade, but the arcade was closed after Team Rocket disbanded."

Lillie: "Are you guys going on a date there? It's so nice..."

Mitsuki: "You should hang out with Hoshino when you have time. It will be boring to stay in Alola all the time."

Lillie: "Let's talk about it when we have time."

Acellola: "Sister, when will you come to Ula'ula Island to play? I found the Ether House is so interesting. There are a bunch of homeless children. Let's go bully them together."

"..."

There are so many flaws that Lillie doesn't know how to reply. Is going to the Ether House a trap for herself? And what the hell is bullying children? Say something normal!

Just when she was about to talk about something else, Acerola sent another message...

Acellola: "By the way, yesterday when I went to play in the Ether House near Kapu Village, I saw a very strange and weird person!"

Lillie: "What weirdo?"

Acerola: "She is about the same height as me, with an orange braid, but she wears a protective suit that almost covers her whole body, and she also wears goggles on her face. Her face is as white as a ghost, and she still wants mine.

Let’s take a look at the Z bracelet and Z pure crystal, but I won’t give them to you.”

Zhulan: "I heard that the Alola region has not been very peaceful recently? Did something happen?"

Mao: "My brother also told me that he told me that it would be best not to go back during the Chinese New Year."

Hawu: "My grandfather also told me not to go back recently, but he didn't tell me the reason..."

Seeing Miss Zhulan suddenly appear and take the lead, the topic turned directly to Alola. Although Lillie knew the reason, she didn't know how to respond. The existence of the ultimate beast could not be mentioned in case it caused confusion.

She can't afford it.

Perhaps because she felt that her question had caused some bad atmosphere and made everyone worried, Zhulan took the initiative to change the topic.

"Although I'm not a big fan, I still peek at the screen occasionally. I feel like I don't see Hoshino coming out very often?"

Lillie: "He's busy. He's renovating upstairs to build a small attic."

Zhulan: "He is really capable. When will you come to the Sinnoh area again? I can take you to visit tourist attractions."

Lillie: "Thank you, I will go when I have time!"

The change of topic was very successful, and they soon started talking about other things. However, Lillie noticed Acerola's message, so she called the other party to remind her.

"Alola~ Do you want to come and play?"

"I will go when I have time, but you must keep the Z bracelet well and never give it to anyone else."

"Don't worry, big sister, if anyone dares to steal my things, I will cry and ask Uncle Modan and Boss Cat to take care of them!"

"Don't be too careless!"

Lillie was more cautious and reminded her several times. Finally, Acerola was annoyed and hung up the phone on her own initiative. She was relieved a little.

At this time, Hoshino had finished decorating and came to the living room with Tie Baofeng, preparing to move the potted plants with seasonings.

Seeing her expression, he asked curiously: "What's wrong? Who are you calling?"

"Acerola, she said that a strange little girl wanted her Z bracelet and Z pure crystal yesterday, so I reminded her."

"It's normal for someone to want to make a Z bracelet, so I didn't continue to do it. I'm afraid that there will be an accident if I do too much and send it out. Alola is a bit messy right now. I will continue after it calms down."

Hoshino didn't pay too much attention to it. Although Acerola looked very unreliable, she was actually very smart and it was difficult to deceive things from her.

After that, he continued to work with Iron Bundle. Unfortunately, it was impossible to be relaxed all the time. The cell phone rang suddenly and Lila called.

"I'm... annoyed!"

He could only ask Sai Fuhao to assist, and he answered the phone and asked: "What are you doing, sister? I'm busy here!"

"Big deal, the Space Research Institute just sent an urgent message. Five ultimate caves were opened on Poni Island at almost the same time. We are also catching other ultimate beasts on Akala Island. We simply can't spare so many manpower. I hope you can

If you can, please go there quickly!"

"Five...okay."

From the tone of her voice, she could tell that Lila was very anxious now. Hoshino had promised her that he would help, and had done so several times before.

It’s just that this time they came directly. The Ethereum Foundation must also know about it, and maybe they will come to snatch it. This is also crucial!

Seeing him put down his phone with a slightly solemn expression, Lillie knew what he was going to do, but it was a pity that she couldn't follow him.

"be safe!"

"I know, wait until I come back."

The smile returned to Hoshino's face, and after Iron Baggage and the others finished moving the seasonings, he took them with him and set off. Except for Popper, this time he brought all the other Pokémon with him.

At the same time, in addition to him, several other parties also launched actions. In the blink of an eye, the five ultimate beasts had succeeded in their prey...

Poni Island is located southwest of Melemele Island. It doesn't even take half an hour to get there from the port area of ​​Hau'ole City. It's very close.

The geographical environment of the island is so dangerous that it is impossible to even develop tourist attractions. The famous Poni Grand Canyon is also extremely dangerous. It is the only place in Alola that no new trainers are allowed to enter.

Coupled with environmental problems, most crops on the island cannot be grown. The residents basically can only rely on fishing exports for a living. In addition, the king of the island passed away a few years ago, and now life on the island is even worse. Many people have gone to

Other island life went away.

The ship docked at the Ocean Dweller Village. This was not the first time for Hoshino to come here. He had come here occasionally when handling Pokémon requests.

People from the International Police are already waiting here. At the same time, in addition to Hoshino, they have also found several powerful trainers to assist in the arrest. Otherwise, such a small number of people would not be enough.

"Hurry up."

Hoshino didn't want to waste time, so he said this as soon as he arrived at the gathering place. When the foreign aid trainers saw him, they all showed surprised expressions.

Who doesn't know Alola's stars among stars? Unexpectedly, he was also found.

"You lead the team, right?"

Gladion's voice suddenly sounded, and he was also sent over. Hoshino glanced at it in surprise, almost not noticing it, and then responded with a chuckle: "It's not impossible."

"you……"

"Okay, okay, don't argue!"

Several colleagues around him immediately stopped Gladion. They had worked together several times, and they all knew that the relationship between the two was very bad. They would fight each other whenever they met, but the key was that only Gladion was so angry that he broke his guard every time.

Typical, good at cooking and fun-loving.

Seeing that he was being persuaded, Hoshino smiled and didn't say anything else. He was here on a mission this time. If conflicts caused an accident to the mission, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.

Gladion suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, then coughed slightly and said: "I am leading the team this time, and the location of the appearance of the five ultimate holes has been sent to you. The locations are far apart, but fortunately they did not appear here.

In the Grand Canyon of Pawnee.”

"So we must act quickly. If they cause damage to the surrounding environment, injure people and wild Pokémon, or run into the intricate Poni Grand Canyon, it will be too late!"

After hearing what he said, the others immediately expressed their acceptance, and the next step was to group action. When the ultimate beast comes out of the ultimate cave, it will have an ultimate aura that enhances its abilities, making it difficult to deal with it alone.

"Group? I think it's okay for me to be alone, so that's it..."

Before Hoshino finished speaking, Gladion glared at him coldly and shouted: "You are in my group!"

"What?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, you are thinking about me, right? It's possible that every day... Come on, I'm not interested in men, stay away from me, it's disgusting."

"You a** (expletive)"

"Don't fight!"

Colleagues around him immediately came out and grabbed Gladion, while Hoshino curled his lips.

Although I don't know what this guy's plan is, I have been beaten down before, and I have gained wisdom every time. It's better to be cautious. What if bricks are replaced this time? I don't dare to gamble randomly.

"Mr. Hoshino, can I go with you? The new ultimate beasts are very powerful. I almost suffered a loss before."

Suddenly a girl's voice sounded, and Hoshino subconsciously looked towards the foreign aid, but he didn't see anyone at all, so he lowered his head and saw it.

The girl who spoke was petite, but she was wearing the clothes of a farmer working in the fields. Her dark skin seemed to have been formed by long-term exposure to the sun. It seemed that she was called out while working in the fields.

"My name is Hapuu, and I also want to be like you, to become Alola's star within a star. Maybe in this way... I can pass the test of the patron saint and become the island queen of Poni Island!"

The girl introduced herself honestly and told her her dream, but Hoshino scratched his hair and didn't know how to respond.

After a few seconds, he asked aloud: "You said you wanted to be the queen of the island?"

"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?"

Seeing the electric current attacking indiscriminately and hitting him, Mi Ling was stunned, as if he was thinking about why the electric current didn't listen to him.

But it was too late, and she could no longer react. Fortunately, Sai Fuhao was fast enough and floated past on his skateboard. He grabbed her and dragged her to the side, avoiding the discharge attack.

In the middle, the blizzard released by the iron bag blocked the discharge, and Hapuu immediately threw the elf ball, and the heavy mud horse that rushed out of the red light used 100,000 horsepower to directly fly the electric beam wood into the sea water.

Hoshino followed closely and began to direct the battle. With the combined efforts of the two, the ultimate aura on Denzuki's body dispersed, and he was finally defeated and fell to the ground. The ultimate ball that was picked up was then included in it again.

"nailed it!"

Hapuwu became excited, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked in the direction of the ruins on the other side in the distance, hoping that the battle did not disturb the patron saint.

Hoshino held the Ultra Ball, glanced at Mi Ling, who was being carried by Sai Fuhao, and was still in shock, and said: "Next time, remember, the Poké Ball is not a brainwashing tool. Even if the Pokémon is subdued by you, it can only be used as a training tool."

If you don't get their recognition, they won't give you any face!"

"I know...I know, thank you."

Mi Ling responded in a low voice that she had only just learned Pokémon battle and didn't know much about these things, so she had an accident this time. Fortunately, she was rescued, otherwise she would have been in danger.

But since he was caught, Hoshino would definitely not let go of this interrogation opportunity, so he said: "How about I ask you a few questions and let you go after answering them?"

"...just ask."

Mi Ling is very cooperative. She seems cold and scheming on the outside, but in reality, she feels like she is just a very polite and even a bit silly neighbor sister.

Hoshino nodded, very satisfied with her attitude, and asked: "Why do you want to steal my Z bracelet and Z pure crystal? And how did you get this ultimate ball, and how to capture the ultimate

What are the alien beasts doing?”

He asked several key questions in one breath, but Mi Ling still hesitated. Just when she was about to answer, a white light suddenly fell vertically from the sky and enveloped her.

Seeing this, Sai Fuhao subconsciously let go and avoided it, but as the light disappeared, Mi Ling had disappeared, as if he had been taken away by the light.

"Jiwagu?"

"This... what kind of high technology?!"

Hoshino looked up, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything, but what he just did was a bit like the teleportation of an alien spaceship in a science fiction movie...

It's a pity that the captured Mi Ling was rescued by someone unknown. It's rare to meet such an honest and cooperative person, but the Ultimate Ball was left behind.

Hoshino glanced at the dusk in the distance, then looked down at the ultimate ball in his hand, and murmured softly: "The mission is now completed..."

"Just catch it, and it seems that they have all been caught... No, one of them has not been found. I don't know if it was captured by others or if it ran into the Pawnee Grand Canyon."

Hapuwu looked at the messages sent by others and whispered that there is another group of people secretly capturing the ultimate beast. Although the international police did not say anything, in fact they more or less guessed

I've seen some, but I didn't ask in person.

Then she raised her head and said with a smile: "After I hand over this task, can you go to my house for dinner? The ingredients are all grown by me on Ponigu Road. What you told me before, I think it should be very useful, so

I want to thank you."

"Yeah... no problem."

Hoshino thought for a moment and agreed. It seemed nice to have a meal in a small village like this once in a while, and he also wanted to help Hapuu to become the queen of the island, so that Alola would be complete.

The two returned the same way and left directly, but Gladion's figure quietly appeared, lost in thought with a straight face, as if he was suspecting something, and then continued to follow, obviously with a purpose...

When we returned to Poni Forest again, the sky was getting darker, especially in the forest, which was a bit quiet. Hapuu went to the bamboo again, as if to say goodbye to this perfect operation.

When the moon comes out, there will be some light spots floating around the bamboo, which is very beautiful. Hoshino shook his head and sighed, a Tiehuo Kaguya died in a foreign country like this, and could not even go home.

What can this say? Although most of the ultimate beasts are very dangerous, not all of them are harmful. Some of them also come in unintentionally and want to go home just like the original Lei Leishi.

After the prayer, Hapuu slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's go to the village of ocean dwellers first, and then return to my house for dinner."

"Um."

Hoshino nodded and was about to ride the motorcycle lizard when Tiebao stopped him and pointed at Tiehuo Kaguya, as if he wanted to say something.

"Didi——"

"You said it hasn't died yet?"

"Didi!"

Iron Baggage nodded. It was not obvious in the afternoon, but after the moon came out, the energy of the bamboo that had not yet been completely dissipated began to operate, but that was all, it could not move at all.

"this……"

Hoshino hesitated for a moment. The Iron Bundle would definitely not lie. If it said it was alive, then it was definitely still alive. So, should we dig out the Iron Fire Kaguya and send it away? It would be pitiful to have it buried for more than ten years.

But what would Hapuu think if she knew that the bamboo she had been using to pray turned out to be an ultimate alien beast?

After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the situation. After all, people have to grow up and face some truths, so he said: "Actually, this bamboo is a bit like..."

Before he finished speaking, Hapuwu lowered his head and responded softly: "You want to say that it is actually the ultimate alien beast... UB04: Injector, I recognized it six months ago when I saw the information Sister Lila gave me.

.”

"Really, I just said it's such an obvious bamboo..." Hoshino chuckled. It turned out that he was worrying too much, and then asked curiously: "Since you know, why don't you tell me?"

"Because... Grandpa planted this. In fact, what bothers me is not only the lack of approval from the patron saint, but also the pressure from my parents..."

"Um?"

"You know my home is on the Poni Trail. I passed by it once when I came here. It was a barren and dilapidated small village..."

Hapuu started to tell her story, and she now trusts Hoshino more...

Her grandfather Sofuwu was actually a villager in the Ocean Dwellers Village at first, but after becoming the king of the island, he had some ideas of his own.

It was impossible to grow any crops on the original land of Poni Island because the special magnetic field of the Poni Grand Canyon affected the entire island. No matter whether it was rice or vegetables, they would not grow at all.

But Sofuu brought some like-minded friends with him and wanted to plant crops on this land, so he moved all of them to the Poni Trail, where there was a lot of open land.

As the number of people gradually increased, the Poni Trail naturally formed a small village. As decades passed, many people from the older generation passed away, but the younger generation did not have such thoughts.

Hapuu's parents were like this. After giving birth to her, they caught up with the good times when the Alola region was fully open to the outside world and went to the Kanto region to develop and start a business. However, she was left at home to be taken care of by her grandparents.

Became a left-behind child.

Fortunately, she was also obedient and sensible. While being pampered by her grandparents, she would also work in the fields. With Sofu's efforts, they finally developed crops that could be grown on Poni Island. Unfortunately, within a few years,

Sofu died.

Without a core, this team that has been working hard for decades finally couldn't support it. They passed away one after another, and there were no young people to inherit and continue the research. Because the times have developed, who is willing to do such a thankless job here?

Something?

There are currently less than 20 people living in the Poni Trail, including Ms. Joy who works at the Pokémon Center. Although it is backed by the Poni Grand Canyon, it is a very good place for experience.

But new trainers can't come to this place, and most of the other trainers choose to travel to other areas. Not many people are willing to come to this dangerous place for training, so business can't be done.

After all, Hapuu was raised by Sofuu and worked in the fields since she was a child. Sofuu learned many things from her, so she chose to run for the Queen of the Island and pass on her grandfather's spirit.

But after her parents heard about her idea, they refused without hesitation. They even wanted her to leave Alola and live together in Kanto, and they put some pressure on her from all aspects.

Now, there is pressure from parents, the pressure of not being able to become the queen of the island, and the ultimate alien beast running out to cause trouble... Hapuu can only come here to pray, not so much hoping that the bamboo will bring him good luck.

Let’s just say I hope Grandpa.

Fortunately, she saw Hoshino on the news and TV, and was recognized by the patron saint Kapu Mingming. She also created a new system of Z moves, which is known as Alola's star within a star within a star!

That's why she regarded Hoshino as a learning target and told these things about herself. If a child younger than herself can win so many honors and be recognized by the patron saint, there must be a lot to learn.

Things, it’s a pity that there has never been a chance to meet...

"When was I recognized by Kapu Mingming? Wasn't it by the Explosive Mosquito Man? By the way, who is the patron saint of Melemele Island? I forgot..."

These were a few questions that Hoshino had after listening to the other party's words. However, after digesting the information, he was also in awe of the Sofuwu whom he had never met. He could not imitate the spirit of this old senior.

But I can also understand those young people who have left. Who doesn’t want to live a good life? I do the same. I can’t forget my roots just because I’m successful now, so I can’t criticize them.

"No wonder you knew it was the ultimate alien beast, but you didn't tell it. After all, it has passed away. Rather than being disturbed, it is better to let it continue to sleep peacefully here. Is that what you think?"

"That's right!"

Hapuu nodded seriously, but the next second Hoshino said awkwardly: "But what I want to say is... this guy is not dead yet, and he even seems to want to use his last strength to crawl out of the soil."

"...What? Is it still alive?"

Hapuwu was stunned for a moment. The atmosphere created by this touching story just now seemed to collapse at this moment...
