Chapter 302: Tapu Koko: Another Expert?

Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Tapu Koko: Another Expert?

Excitement flashed in Cynthia’s eyes as she asked curiously, "Can we wake this sleeping Ultra Beast and let me battle it?"

The corner of Mohn’s mouth twitched.

Personally, he leaned more towards making friends with Ultra Beasts.

Waking an Ultra Beast and immediately beating it up...

How were they supposed to become friends after that?

Julian smiled and said, "As the saying goes, sometimes you only become friends after a fight. Through battle, we can let them understand us more clearly."

"And not every Ultra Beast is necessarily friendly. Through battle, we can also make Ultra Beasts understand that on the other side of the Ultra Wormhole..."

"This world is not easy to provoke. That may prevent them from crossing through Ultra Wormholes and damaging the Alola islands."

"I imagine that in Alola’s history, the appearance of many Ultra Beasts did not bring good news, did it?"

Mohn nodded.

"There have been good cases and bad cases. That is exactly why I hope to befriend them and change their view of us."

"I want Alolans and Ultra Beasts to coexist peacefully!"

Julian shook his head.

"The Tapu are called the guardian deities of the islands largely because they protected Alola from Ultra Beasts!"

Mohn paused.

In ancient records, he had only seen that the Tapu had fought enemies who invaded Alola and were therefore called the island guardian deities by the Alolan people.

But he had never truly thought about who those enemies were!

Lusamine frowned.

"Then can our plan to open Ultra Wormholes in Alola and summon Ultra Beasts still be carried out?"

He frowned.

"If we want to carry it out, we’ll need to build a laboratory in Alola, but not on the Alola islands themselves."

"It has to be on a small island outside the Tapu’s jurisdiction. Only then can we research Ultra Wormholes without restrictions."

Cynthia frowned and said, "No restrictions also means no protection, and what you’ll be facing are still dangerous Ultra Beasts."

"I think it would be best for you to gain Tapu Koko’s recognition before continuing Ultra Wormhole research. You can choose a remote island."

"But it would be best not to build your own island."

After thinking it over, Mohn decided to follow Cynthia’s suggestion.

After all, he already had one Ultra Beast to study.

There was no rush to build an Ultra Wormhole.

A sudden idea came to Mohn.

"Julian, aside from this Princess Kaguya, do you think there might be other Ultra Beasts living in Alola?"

Julian blinked.

Even if there were, he could not remember them.

He shrugged.

"That may be something you need to search for yourself. For example, you could upgrade that Ultra Aura detector of yours."

Mohn rubbed his chin.

"Ultra Beasts only carry strong Ultra Aura when they first emerge from an Ultra Wormhole."

"After a long time passes, it becomes like this one. Even at such a close distance, the Ultra Aura detected is extremely weak."

Caitlin blinked and asked curiously, "Are there any Psychic-type Ultra Beasts? If I catch one, I’ll definitely become a Psychic-type Elite Four member even faster!"

Julian smiled.

"There should be as many types of Ultra Beasts as there are Pokémon types. As for whether you can catch a Psychic-type Ultra Beast..."

"That will depend on your luck, Caitlin."

Psychic-type Ultra Beasts...

There didn’t seem to be any, from what he recalled.

Julian smiled and said, "Why don’t you try making Tapu Lele your Pokémon instead? That way, you could directly challenge the Champion."

Caitlin glared at Julian.

"You might as well lend me Mewtwo directly!"

Mewtwo floated in mid-air, leisurely holding a cup of milk tea.

His tail flicked.

How had this suddenly involved him?

Become Caitlin’s Pokémon?

Mewtwo could not do something that humiliating.

Aside from her Psychic ability, Caitlin’s skill in training and commanding Pokémon in battle was not even as good as that Pikachu boy’s.

Although that Pikachu boy had raised such an ill-mannered Charizard, so his raising ability was not particularly good either.

But at least it was better than Caitlin’s complete lack of experience.

Mewtwo’s brow sharpened, and he looked towards Tapu Koko, who had suddenly appeared above the bamboo forest.

Tapu Koko flew directly in front of Julian, staring at him so intensely that Julian felt slightly uncomfortable.

Julian smiled.

"Tapu Koko, did you come because of this Ultra Beast?"

Tapu Koko shook his head and pointed at Julian and Mewtwo.

When Tapu Koko had helped earlier, he had not known.

He had thought Darius was already an extremely impressive martial artist.

Hala had become kahuna because Hala could fight.

But Tapu Koko had not expected Julian to be even better at fighting!

When the four siblings communicated, Tapu Koko had only then discovered Julian, a martial artist, and Mewtwo, a destroyer whose Psychic power was not inferior to Tapu Lele’s.

As a battle maniac, how could Tapu Koko miss a good chance to battle Julian?

Mewtwo shook the milk tea in his hand.

"I have no intention of battling."

Julian thought for a moment.

"Goodra, how about you and I battle Tapu Koko together?"

As he spoke, Goodra stepped forward, no longer hiding her presence.

The powerful presence of a Steel Dragon was released, making Tapu Koko glance over.

Another expert?

Without looking closely, he would not have known. Once he did, he was startled.

Tapu Koko looked around.

Goodra, Gallade, Garchomp, Lucario, even Miraidon, Kommo-o, Annihilape, and Bewear.

All of them made Tapu Koko’s hands itch.

These Pokémon could all be fought once!

Tapu Koko nodded, agreeing to battle Goodra.

He glanced at Celesteela, then beckoned to Julian and Goodra, signalling for them to follow.

Everyone went to watch their battle.

Only Mohn chose to stay behind and continue studying Celesteela.

After passing through the bamboo forest, they reached an open space.

Tapu Koko stopped at the far end of the clearing.

Julian and Goodra stepped forward, while everyone else moved to the side to watch.

Tapu Koko waved a hand, signalling for Goodra to attack first.

"Flash Cannon!"

Tapu Koko swayed his body and avoided the brilliant stream of metallic light.

Then he released powerful electricity, forming an Electric Terrain that covered the entire clearing.

Julian frowned slightly.

"Flash Cannon, three-shot burst!"

Goodra gathered energy and spat out three oval-shaped metallic light bullets.

Tapu Koko twisted his body, but one Flash Cannon still struck him.

Tapu Koko staggered back in a sorry state, yet the heat in his eyes grew even stronger.

A layer of pink light bloomed over Tapu Koko’s body.

Then fierce electricity surged out, and the world around him seemed to respond.

Julian waved his hand and shouted, "Steel Beam!"

Wrapped in electricity, Tapu Koko charged wildly towards Goodra.

Goodra also bloomed with light, lowered her head, and strode towards Tapu Koko.

The two sides collided, and a violent explosion bloomed.
