Chapter 559: Tapu Finfin's Request

Even though his physical strength recovered quickly under the effect of the scale powder, Tapu Hihiko closed his eyes in despair.

Being defeated by the trainer he trained can be said to be in line with the development of a classic and passionate work.

But he flew thousands of miles from Melemele Island to cause trouble, and then was defeated, and was caught red-handed by his colleague Tapu Dede.

It could already imagine the future when their Tapu family held a meeting and Tapu Tete shared his embarrassing stories with the other two Tapu with an innocent look on his face.

Compared to Tapu Chime, whose mentality was a little out of control, Luo Mu looked at Tapu Cherokee vigilantly that was approaching him, and moved his feet slightly backward, trying to avoid the scale powder scattered by Tapu Cherokee.

In his opinion, these scale powders have excellent effects in healing injuries and restoring physical strength.

However, once exposed to large amounts of scale powder, the body will not be able to endure the changes caused by it and will become dying.

In Luo Mu's opinion, it is better to have as little contact with this thing as possible. After all, no one knows the standard of the so-called "large amount".

Fortunately, Tapu Dede seemed to be just here to watch the show. He circled around Luo Mu, as if to make sure that he knew this person. He nodded to Tapu Mingming and flew directly towards the depths of Akara Island.

When it left, a crystal stone fell in front of Luo Mu as if it had been lost.

After picking it up, Luo Mu's eyes flashed with surprise. He stared at the silver-white diamond-shaped crystal and murmured, "Z-pure crystal of normal properties?"

what is this?
Is this a “reward” from Kapu Diede for watching a good show?

At this time, seeing Tapu Tete leaving, Tapu Kokoro, which had actually almost recovered, stood up again and flew in front of Luo Mu.

“Puka--”

From its closed and opened shell claws, a bright yellow diamond-shaped crystal fell out and landed right on Luo Mu's palm as he was observing General Z.

This time, it was a pure crystal with electrical properties.

rear.

Gladion, who had been frightened for the umpteenth time today because of the sudden intrusion of Tapu Chou Chou, looked at the "trophies" that the two Tapu threw to Luo Mu one after another with a little disbelief.

It was the first time he saw the island guardian god personally give Z pure crystal.

Even the Z-pure crystal on me was obtained after touring the islands and challenging the dominant Pokémon in the Great Trial!

"Is this for me?"

Touching the electric-attribute Z pure crystal that was actually slightly warm, Luo Mu looked at Tapu Mingming in confusion.

After being beaten up by himself and still having explosive equipment, Tapu Kokoro is so generous?

“Puka.”

Tapu Mingming nodded, and now he looked a bit serious like the guardian of the island.

Just as it loves fighting, if there is someone or Pokémon that can impress it or even defeat it with hard power.

It will certainly not be stingy in rewarding such warriors.

Tapu Kokoro's sight fell on Swampert, who had already exited its Mega Evolution form.

Based on its previous voyeurism, oh no, it’s observation.

Swampert is already able to use ground Z, and Luo Mu already has a Z bracelet, so there is no need for it to run to the house of its island king to steal the newly made Z bracelet.

Tapu Chirp originally wanted to give the Water-attribute Z-Crystal, but he only had the Electric-attribute Z-Crystal left. And after observing for the whole day yesterday, it happened that Luo Mu also seemed to have an Electric-attribute Pokémon that he could not see through.

The other party should be able to make good use of this electric Z.

Luo Mu is not a shy person. Since both Tapu Butterfly and Tapu Chirp have been given to him, there is no reason for him to refuse them.

"Then I'll take the Z Pure Crystal. Thank you."

Tapu Kokoro nodded slightly, and at this time gave up the idea of ​​using his own ability to send Luo Mu to another world.

It was afraid that if it suddenly sent the other party over, the other party would chase it when it came back.

Anyway, the world over there should be able to hold on for quite some time, and as long as I can keep in touch with myself in another world, I can send people over there at any time.

It’s better to find an easy target to pick on later.

Thinking of this, Tapu Kokoro was about to fly away.

Luo Mu called out to it again.

"Wait a moment!"

"Kapu?"

Tapu Mingming stopped and looked at Luo Mu with some doubt.

Is this human being so perceptive?
He actually realized that he was planning to go back and rest, borrow some local specialties from the King of the Island and the Overlord Pokémon, and then come back to fight his Pokémon in the evening?
Fortunately, after Luo Mu told it the reason why he called it, Tapu Mingming breathed a sigh of relief.

What? I just want to ask Tapu Fin-Fin for help.

But then, Tapu Mingming's eyes narrowed again.

The competitive spirit of the island's guardian god made it curious about what else Luo Mu could have that required him to find Tapu Fin-Fin instead of asking for help directly from itself, the guardian god who was so close to it.

But after Luo Mu made two consecutive points, Tapu Mingming fell silent.

This... is indeed something that only that colleague can solve.

"Mist that can see the dead" and "clear water that purifies all filth", only Tapu Fin-Fin can do these two things at the same time.

But now Tapu Fin-Fin has rarely appeared in public because he has been hiding from the world.

The most it could do was take Luo Mu to see Tapu Fin-Fin. Whether the other party agreed to Luo Mu's two requests was not something it could control.

With the help of Zhihuixing's translation, Luo Mu learned the other party's opinion from Tapu Mingming.

Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded and said, "As long as you take me to see Tapu Fin-Fin, it's all fine. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with you."

Perhaps because he admired Luo Mu as a human, the usually moody Tapu Kokoro showed a magnanimity and patience that would surprise the island king Hala if he knew about it.

Luo Mu asked Chihuixing to stay in the villa and wait for Eruption and the others to come back, and told Gladion that he could ask Chihuixing for help if he had any problems. Then he released Dragonite and, led by Tapu Kokoro, flew towards Poni Island, an island in the west of the Alola region.

As one of the four major islands in the Alola region, Poni Island is the slowest developing island.

The tourism industry that thrives on other islands simply cannot take root in Poni.

Most areas of the entire Poni Island have retained a relatively primitive appearance, as if human development has been blocked from the outside world by a mysterious force.

Luo Mu felt that this might be related to the actions of Tapu Fin-Fin, the guardian of the island.

It is the guardian deity in the Kapu family who is most intolerant of human development of the island.

From its perspective, humans are destroying the natural landscape and establishing their own territory on their graves.

This is probably why there are very few developed areas on Poni Island.

But Bonnie also has important places such as the "Bonnie Grand Canyon", the "Sun Altar" and the "Moon Altar". Luo Mu is also very interested in the "Battle Tree" built on the island, but he probably won't be able to visit it today.

After completing the two purposes of coming to the Alola region, perhaps you can also visit the future island queen Hapuu and buy some of Poni Island's original specialty "Poni Big Radish" from her.

After building a good relationship, you might even be able to get relevant planting methods and some seeds, which you can then take back to the farm and prepare to sow and plant in the spring!

Tapu Chirp knew clearly where Tapu Fin-Fin usually stayed, and as soon as he entered the range of Poni Island, he flew straight to the southeast of the island.

From time to time it would stop and look back to see if Luo Mu had lost it.

It can be said that it is quite responsible. In the southeast corner of Poni Island, there is a ruin that the Alola people in the past called "the place where life ends."

Just like the ruins of Tapu Moo's harvest and Tapu Kokoro's war.

The ruins called "The Other Shore" were the occasional residence of the island's guardian deity, Kapu Fin-Fin, and were also the area where the altar was set up during the sacrifices to the island's king or queen.

Luo Mu also knew about things of this magnitude, and he could even find the place if he was willing to put in some effort.

But he still chose to seek help from Tapu Mingming.

Even if he found the place, if Tapu Fin-Fin was unwilling to show up, it would be very troublesome for him to stop the other party in the vast Alola Ocean.

Not to mention that after being surrounded and blocked, Tapu Fin-Fin would probably be even less willing to help.

"Bowu——"

While flying at a constant speed, a hint of uneasiness flashed in Dragonite's eyes.

At this point, it actually felt a little fear and resistance about meeting Tapu Fin-Fin.

In almost a year, my mother's condition has improved a lot.

Although the mother is always accompanied by an invisible transparent "human" and often has to prepare double portions of food, the other portion will not be touched even if it is cold.

But it can indeed establish some communication with the outside world. Accompanied by its three godmothers, it recently tried to deliver Moo Moo fresh milk to the farm several times.

What if this action not only fails to cure it, but makes the condition worse?
Perhaps the fear of gain and loss is what is referring to Dragonite right now.

I used to hope that my mother could get out of the shadow of the past, but now I feel a little hesitant.

At this moment, a pair of warm hands rested on its back.

Dragonite looked back, and what caught his eye was Luo Mu's gentle and soothing smile.

"It will be fine, trust me."

The trust built up over a long period of time calmed Dragonite's heart strangely and quickly.

After a while, the destination was within reach.

The rolling waves continuously hit the cliffs, stirring up layers of white foam and making a deafening sound.

If Luo Mu remembered correctly, beneath the turbulent waves of the sea, there was a hidden place where the kings or queens of Bonny Island of all generations tested the trainers who were touring the islands and launched great tests.

This is the Bonny Gulang Rock Bank, and further ahead is the cave where the ruins of the other side are located.

“Puka!”

Tapu Kokoro stopped flying, hovered in mid-air, and called out to Luo Mu and Dragonite.

It was to ask myself and Dragonite to follow it in.

Luo Mu understood what Tapu Mingming meant and looked forward, and indeed saw the entrance to a secret cave.

Tapu Kokoro flew straight into it, and Dragonite followed closely behind.

After entering the cave, the sound of waves hitting the rocks became much quieter, and the surroundings became completely silent as if the mute button was pressed.

After going deeper for a while, an altar that looked full of ancient traces and covered with various strange corals that looked valuable, surrounded by stagnant water that seemed to be connected to the external waters, came into view.

"This is the ruins of the other shore—"

After landing on the ground, Luo Mu did not take back Dragonite, but looked around to confirm where he was.

It seemed that Tapu Mingming hadn't visited here for a long time. After secretly picking up a few beautiful corals and putting them up, he started to get down to business.

Luo Mu, who had a clear view of everything: "."

Your hands as the guardian of the island are really dirty.

But the next moment, he had no time to care about Tapu Kokoro's behavior.

Tapu Hihiko made a loud cry as if calling someone.

"Tappu--click!"

The calm water surface around them suddenly began to waver. Both Dragonite and Luo Mu felt a strange breath approaching rapidly from underwater.

But after a while, accompanied by splashing water, a black shadow broke through the water surface and appeared in the ruins on the other side.

With flowing aqua blue hair and a mermaid-like black body, she is trapped in a shell that looks like the clam spirit in mythology.

It is Tapu Finfin, the last of the four guardian gods of the Alola region's islands, the guardian god of Poni Island.

It was called by Tapu Chirp and appeared in front of Luo Mu.

Naturally, Tapu Finfin was the first person to notice the human Luo Mu.

Although he was a little wary, with Tapu Kokoro around, Tapu Fin-Fin did not turn around and leave. Instead, he asked Tapu Kokoro questions in a questioning manner.

“Pukala——”

Facing the questioning of his colleagues, Kapu Mingming narrowed his eyes and used the unique way of communication among the Kapu family - ancient sacrificial dance.

That is the so-called awkward dance, which was fully conveyed to Tapu Fin-Fin.

Although it is a bit unbearable to watch the two legendary elves dancing awkwardly.

But when Tapu Finfin, who knew everything, looked over, Luo Mu still spoke: "Respected island guardian Tapu Finfin, please agree to my request and let the person I am looking for see him/her again through the fog. And grant me clear water that can purify all filth and completely wash away the curses and desires of the past."

Tapu Kokoro, who was listening in, turned his head silently.

Fickle human being, why haven’t I seen you show me so much respect!
After knowing Luo Mu's request, Tapu Finfin did not express his opinion immediately, but closed his eyes, as if he was communicating with someone.

Perhaps another self would need a human with the power to defeat Tapu Kokoro.

After a while.

Tapu Finfin opened his light blue eyes, looked at Luo Mu, and a gentle and loving voice sounded.

"Lacey—"

It is willing to help Luo Mu.

But the prerequisite is that Luo Mu needs to help him complete something.

Only then will it lift the mist that sees the dead and grant clear water that purifies all impurities.

"Finishing something?"

After repeating it several times, Luo Mu narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was a trap set in front of him.

After thinking for a while, Luo Mu nodded and said, "I agree with your request. What do I want to accomplish?"

"Pukala"

Tapu Fin-Fin smiled softly and slowly opened his hands.

When he gets there, Luo Mu will naturally know.

As Tapu Fin-Fin moved, a milky white mist that seemed to connect to another world gradually enveloped the entire ruins of the other side.
