Chapter 562 Revealing the Truth
Looking at Tapu Fin-Fin's reaction, Luo Mu knew that the owner of the strange footsteps was not the guest invited by Tapu Fin-Fin.

But -

Uninvited.

"Renten cat, you come back first."

Luo Mu whispered to the Xenon Cat to come back to him, and then opened another Poké Ball with his backhand.

"Swamp Thing!"

A red light flashed, and the figure of Swampert appeared in the ruins on the other side.

If he guessed correctly, the one on Melemele Island was the all-devouring evil food king, and the one related to the power plant on Poni Island was—

The footsteps were already close at hand.

The first thing that caught my eye was a head glowing with bright white light.

The towering humanoid body, like a bamboo stick, was made of wires, and the star on its head glowed white like an incandescent lamp, but no facial features could be seen at all.

The wires form cables with limbs and tails, and each cable is tied together with three white leaves, like zip ties or Christmas lights.

With every step forward, the cable body would shake strangely, like seaweed drifting with the current.

Just looking at that makes your SAN value drop wildly.

The bronze claws fell to the ground, and the mysterious creature stopped.

Although it was the first time he saw the other party in real life, Luo Mu recognized this creature.

"UB03: Thunder"

Or rather, it would be more appropriate to call it the ultimate beast - Electric Beam Wood.

In front of the ruins on the other side, Denshumu stopped.

Its body was still swaying, and its star-like head tilted back and forth, as if it was confirming something.

Although he has no facial features, this does not mean that Denshumu is blind.

As an ultimate alien beast, it is "normal" to go beyond the norm. No matter how you look at it, the other party has bad intentions, so Luo Mu naturally won't just stand there and watch.

He simply chose to give orders in a low voice.

"One hundred thousand horsepower."

"Lagu!"

The long-maintained tacit understanding allowed Swampert to take action the moment Luo Mu gave the order without any warning.

The moment Swampert jumped out, a pair of fists emitting ochre-colored light kept approaching the Electric Beam Tree.

The electric beam that "saw" Swampert somehow paused in its swinging motion, and the six flat copper fingers on its hands were pointed at it.

Saw this scene.

Tapu Finfin's expression changed and he was about to open his mouth to remind him.

But the electric beam wood is faster.

It was in a state of "power overload", and in just a moment, a thunderous roar exploded!

Countless bright blue electric currents seemed like overwhelming waves, surging forward.

Countless electric currents struck the ground, easily creating a big hole.

But even so, the electric currents were not satisfied. Under the control of the electric beam wood, they rushed forward with a hissing sound, as if they wanted to destroy everything in front of them.

Seeing this scene, Tapu Finfin couldn't help but close his eyes.

This reminded it of what happened that day.

The overwhelming thunder released by countless dark figures was like a mad snake that chose its prey. Even as the guardian of the island, he could not resist such power.

Even if it was just one individual, it was still a threat that I couldn't resist right now.

But the explosion that Capu Fin-Fin had expected did not happen. Instead, after a solid muffled sound, the piercing whistling sound of the lightning was disappearing.

Tapu Finfin opened his eyes and just happened to see the majestic Roentgen cat shaking its fur, causing the powerless blue thunder to dissipate into the air.

In front of the quietly standing Swampert, the electric beam wood was firmly embedded in the wall and could not move at all.

Is it solved just like that?
Tapu Fin-Fin stood there in a daze, having never expected things to turn out this way.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Dian Shumu twisted his body frantically trying to break free, but it was of no use.

Seeing that it still had energy to mess around, Swampert frowned and fired another freezing punch with his backhand. After seeing that the electric beam tree was completely frozen and could not move, he gave up the idea of ​​​​firing a third punch.

Only then did Tapu Finfin realize who the other self had sent to him.
Compared to Tapu Finfin who breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Mu stepped forward and stroked the fur of the Roentgen cat. Feeling the numbness from his fingertips, he immediately frowned.

"It's a bit bad——"

While muttering to himself, Luo Mu looked at the electric beam wood that was frozen in ice.

The process of Swampert and the others subduing this guy was not complicated.

It was just that Swampert was the main attacker, and Roentgens assisted by absorbing a large amount of electricity that could interfere with Swampert's attacks when its feet were off the ground, and finally completing the instant kill.

As an Electric-type Pokémon, even though Roentgen cannot use a large amount of electricity for its own use with its "Electric Engine" like Electabuzz, it can still absorb some electricity for "charging" and clear obstacles for Swampert.

Once the obstacles are cleared, all you have to do is push hard.

But some things were still beyond Luo Mu's expectations.

This was just a vanguard scout's electric beam, but the electricity it released at that moment was almost the same as the electricity released by the Roentgen cat when it used its normal moves.

It was unclear how many electric beams there were on the island.

But his intuition told him that the abnormal situation of the electric beam wood might be closely related to the reason why Poni Island became what it is now.

At this moment, the roar of Swampert brought Luo Mu, who was lost in thought, back to reality.

In front of the frozen electric wood, countless blue silk threads collapsed like a spider web, forming a mysterious passage, slowly sucking the frozen electric wood into it.

It's the ultimate hole!
He praised Swampert, who was the first to alertly leave the range of the Ultra Hole, and waited for the Ultra Hole to suck in his target and disappear as if he had never appeared.

Only then did Luo Mu look at Tapu Fin-Fin with a questioning look in his eyes.

I'm afraid only Tapu Fin-Fin knows the truth behind all these phenomena.

at the same time.

The headquarters of "Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company" is located on an artificial island.

The well-maintained scalp reflected a shiny glow under the light. The man, stroking his lush beard, had a slightly ferocious look on his face. When he saw the information displayed on the screen, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"No. 1146 lost contact and was sent back by the Ultimate Hole—"

He knew that Tapu Fin-Fin was still lingering around Poni Island.

However, the opponent should not have retained enough strength to repel the Ultimate Beast, especially the Electric Beam Wood that was strengthened in its own power plant.

Is there a helper, or something?
After a brief thought, the man sneered and typed a series of commands into the screen in front of him.

After a while.

Located on the rocky mountains of Poni Island, numerous electric trees densely "rooted" next to huge cables raised their heads.

A clear target point appeared in their perception.

After doing all this, the man stood up from his boss chair and released a sturdy electric shock beast.

"Anyone who stands in the way of Lord Benbruggen's fortune will eventually taste the bitterness of despair."

"A rare island guardian should be able to attract a large sum of funds--" Taking the electric beast with him, Bruggen walked out of his president's office.

At that time, those guys were unwilling to tell him where Tapu Finfin was hiding, but it didn't matter now.

He planned to capture the other party himself.

"First of all, we need to relocate our base, and we need to do it as quickly as possible, immediately, and right away."

"If it's as I expected, this place should have been exposed."

Luo Mu rationally explained the current situation to Tapu Fin-Fin.

"If you can trust me, then come with me. The base I found earlier should be enough for us to hide for a while."

Tapu Fin-Fin was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking.

Finally, it nodded.

"Pukala." (I'll go with you.)
"it is good."

There was no need for translation, Luo Mu also knew what Tapu Fin-Fin meant at this moment.

Considering that the other party can directly find the ruins on the other side, he plans not to take the original passage, but to dig another one directly.

With Swampert, this idea has ample room to become a reality.

After a while, a rumbling sound of the ground shaking slightly was heard in the ruins on the other side.

Tapu Fin-Fin followed Luo Mu silently without any extra reaction.

Only Tapu Fin-Fin himself knew, even though he once hated fighting and anything that would destroy the island itself.

But now it has become numb to all this, not to mention that Luo Mu still wants to take it to a safe place.

This human was quite calm. He knew that if he showed up in the outside world rashly, he would be easily tracked, so he chose a safer method.

Soon.

As the last layer of rock in front of them was dug through by Swampert, a dead forest came into view.

Because Luo Mu first let the Roentgen cat observe the external environment through the X-ray vision, and only dug out the last barrier after confirming that there were no ambushers, so they did not exercise any unnecessary vigilance and left the mountain directly.

After determining the direction, Luo Mu took back Swampert, rode on the back of Roentgen Cat and reached out to Tapu Finfin.

"We need to get to the base as soon as possible. I'm afraid your flying speed can't keep up?"

Along the way, he was observing Tapu Fin-Fin from this parallel world.

The other party is obviously in an unprecedented low state, otherwise he would never allow Poni Island to become what it is now.

But the exact truth should be confirmed after we reach the natural shelter under the Sun/Moon Altar.

This time, Tapu Finfin did not hesitate and accepted Luo Mu's invitation and rode on the back of the Roentgen cat with him.

It’s just that due to the limited size of the X-cat, Tapu Fin-Fin can only be held by Luo Mu, and it would be somewhat difficult for the X-cat to carry a person and a Pokémon.

At this time, Luo Mu missed the spirit horse that he had sent to look after the Eruption and Eevee sisters. He didn't know how they were doing over there.

With all kinds of thoughts in his mind, Luo Mu kept moving, stuffing several cans of portable oxygen into Kapu Finfin's arms, and said, "If the gas runs out, help Roentgen Cat replace it."

Tapu Fin-Fin peered at himself in the water for a while and thought that it might be possible to simply replace the oxygen.

Holding several cans of oxygen, Tapu Finfin realized how uncomfortable Roman and Romulus, as people and Pokémon from another world, were with the current environment of Poni Island.

If only I still had the power to purify these——

As the thoughts emerged in Kapu Finfin's mind, the Roentgen cat took a deep breath, stimulated his muscles with strands of electric current, and ran at high speed in the direction indicated by Luo Mu.

Shortly after they left.

A large group of electric beam wood army landed near the coast of Bonny Gulang, and in the distant sky, a helicopter was also flying in this direction.

The Roentgen cat is very fast on its feet.

After arriving at the base, Luo Mu immediately ordered Swampert to block the surrounding area with the "Rock Blockade" move, leaving only a few tiny gaps.

“Puff.”

Noticing that this was actually the Sun Altar, Tapu Fin-Fin looked at Luo Mu with a little surprise.

Luo Mu put the Xenon Cat, which was panting slightly due to excessive oxygen consumption, back into the Poké Ball to rest, and then took out the Diving Ball.

Just like before, he prepared a suitable pool before releasing the sea lion from the diving ball.

The Puff Sea Lion was still sleeping soundly at this time. The moment he saw the other party, Tapu Finfin flew to the edge of the pool with a little excitement and stroked its body with pity.

Tapu Finfin could feel that the life breath of the sea lion had stabilized.

Even some of its congenital adverse symptoms have improved. Apart from the inevitable pollution caused by the environment of Poni Island, its condition can be said to be the best since its birth.

Tapu Fin-Fin looked at Luo Mu gratefully, not knowing how to repay him.

In a sense, even as the guardian of the island, Tapu Fin-Fin has inherited the simplicity that is unique to most Pokémon.

"Well, it would be better to let it rest in the Poké Ball. I'll take it back first."

After obtaining Tapu Fin-Fin's consent, Luo Mu took the initiative to end this brief meeting.

There are more important things to do now, and if you want to get close, there will be plenty of opportunities after the problem is solved.

"Let's sort out the current situation."

Luo Mu and Tapu Fin-Fin's eyes met in mid-air.

"You should know everything about my identity, right?"

“Puka.”

In response to Luo Mu's question, Tapu Fin-Fin nodded slightly.

Luo Mu narrowed his eyes and said without hesitation: "Then tell me the reason why Poni Island has become like this and the culprit."

"What kind of incident happened in this place to make it turn out like this?"

"Reveal the truth to me."

In fact, Tapu Fin-Fin knows very well that it doesn't matter if it trusts anyone in this world.

But Luo Mu crossed the gap between the worlds in order to solve the problem and finally came to him.

The opponent's attitude towards the ball sea lion also shows his character, and the easy defeat of the electric beam wood also shows that he has the corresponding military power.

I can trust Luo Mu.

After reaching this conclusion, Tapu Finfin's eyes flickered slightly, and finally turned into determination.

A thin white mist, as if it would be dispersed by the wind, rose around it.

But due to the limitation of power, the fog can only be maintained within a one-meter range around Tapu Finfin.

And in the mist, the figure of an old man slowly emerged.

However, under the illumination of the light prepared by Luo Mu, there was no shadow under the opponent's feet.

The other party seemed to know very well what he was doing at this moment, and his old voice sounded in this closed space.

"Welcome, the trainer from another world sent by the island's guardian god Tapu Fin-Fin."

"I am Sofuu, the former king of the island of Poni. As you can see, I am now just a ghost."

"I will tell you all the truth about any problem on Poni Island."
