Chapter 563 Greed and Pride

Everything starts from small things.

Ten years ago.

In the Alola region, Melemele Island was suddenly occupied by a monster, the ultimate beast Ghoul King, codenamed "UB05: Big Stomach King".

Due to the island guardian's disappointment in humans, the attack on the Food King was carried out without being able to use Z-moves.

The result is obvious. Facing the Evil Eater King who can even swallow his moves, the resistance of the Ultimate Patrol Team is meaningless.

People fled from the Melemele Island where the Evil Food King lived, and had no choice but to move to other islands to live.

But perhaps this incident was just the beginning. Humans did not learn a lesson from this incident. Instead, because they lost the resources of the entire island of Melemele, they began to choose to intensify the development of the remaining three islands.

Poni Island is no exception.

The island guardians became disappointed with the humans' endless exploitation of the land and disappeared one after another.

The Z move was also unusable at that moment.

The company that won the qualification to develop Poni Island was the one that emerged after the fall of Melemele Island and became one of the largest companies in the Alola region, even squeezing out the Ether Foundation's Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company.

President Brucken has a violent personality, is full of ambition, and does things like a gangster.

He would do anything to achieve his own benefit, even breaking his promise.

It is better to say that it is precisely because of this style of doing things that Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company has been able to develop to this point.

During the development of Poni Island, President Bruggen saw the prospect of "energy development" and continued to build a large number of power plants.

Using some of the technology left behind by the disbanded Ether Consortium, he successfully opened the Ultimate Hole and summoned a large number of Ultimate Beasts called Denbeaks.

He also uses the technology he has developed to control these ultimate beasts. With the support of his power plant and the electric beam trees that absorb full of electricity, they are extremely powerful.

Before long, Brughen used force to eliminate all opposition voices, completely took over Poni Island, and developed it extensively.

Pollution is getting worse.

When Tapu Finfin, who was disappointed with humans and planned to hide away from the world for a while, realized something was wrong from his periodic slumber and woke up.

Everything is too late.

The speed of human development has exceeded the expectations of these "immortal species".

Seeing the sea polluted black, the dark clouds that blocked out the sunlight, and the devastated land of Poni Island, the angry Tapu Fin-Fin went to the power plant.

What awaits it is a mountain of electric beam wood.

Each one is so charged with electricity that it can unleash a force comparable to that of a serious attack.

Even though it was only a one-time thing, it was naturally in ruins under the siege of the electric beam trees that controlled it one after another, and because the ocean currents that served as its energy source were polluted.

Tapu Fin-Fin, who avoided fighting and was not as good at fighting as Tapu Chirp, was naturally defeated.

From then on, no one could stop Brughan and stop the development of "Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company".

In the blink of an eye, Poni Island turned into what it was when Luo Mu arrived.

As Tapu Fin-Fin's injuries had not healed for a long time and the source of his power had disappeared, he could only lie dormant.

Until two years ago, when it found an elf egg that was washed up by the dark waves on a hidden beach on Poni Island and miraculously still had life.

Tapu Finfin, who had already accepted that the entire Poni Island was lifeless except for those electric mushrooms that were not affected by him, was so excited that he almost cried. He embraced the Pokémon egg in his arms without hesitation and closed the shell, hoping to use his body temperature and the shell's ability to isolate the Pokémon from pollution to hatch the Pokémon egg.

Until recently, the elf eggs finally hatched into spherical sea lions, but due to the scarcity of resources and the harsh environment, the spherical sea lions were in danger.

At this time, Tapu Fin-Fin miraculously reconnected with himself in another world, but he chose to refuse the other party's request for help from humans as he could not trust strange humans.

But Tapu Fin-Fin over there didn't care about that and just threw Luo Mu over.

What happened next is now.

From the perspective of countless bystanders, Sofu told Luo Mu the cause and result of the incident.

It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

After listening to all the stories, Luo Mu fell into a brief silence.

He seemed to have some impression of that Brucken.

I remember that he was a minor villain who appeared in several episodes of Sun and Moon.

When he first appeared, he coveted Kage's ranch. He tried to buy it with money but failed, so he started to use some despicable means. In the end, it inexplicably turned into a Pokémon duel, and the Electabuzz he sent out lost to Kage's Alola Gallagher.

Not willing to give up, they called a bunch of construction machinery to try to demolish the house, but were stopped by Miss Junsha who arrived.

Later, in the royal battle, he used underhanded tactics to try to defeat Kukui, who was disguised as the anonymous Royal Masked Man, and Xiaozhi who assisted him.

All in all, he is a standard villain whose methods are crude but whose plots are repeatedly shattered.

I didn't expect that such a thing could be done in this parallel world.
Sofuu obviously had his own thoughts and considerations. He looked at the equally silent Kapu Fin-Fin with concern, and then said, "The mist of Kapu Fin-Fin, the guardian of the island, can allow those of us who have passed away to return to the world for a short period of time."

"And what I just said is also a summary of the countless lives that have passed away on Poni Island in the past ten years, plus some of what Kapu Finfin said himself."

When Luo Mu heard Sofuu mention the "dead lives", he noticed that Tapu Finfin's body trembled slightly. Obviously, he felt very guilty about this matter.

As the guardian of the island, in the end he failed to protect anything.

During these ten years, guilt and self-blame must have always lingered in Tapu Fin-Fin's heart.

Luo Mu's eyes fell on Tapu Fin-Fin who was standing beside him, but instead of discussing who was more responsible for this matter, it would be better to focus on the present.

Clearing his throat, Luo Mu said, "I understand the general situation."

"That is to say, there are currently an unknown number of Ultra Beasts, Electric Beams, and the culprit of all this, the president of Rainbow Happy Development and Construction Company, Bruggen, standing in our way, right?"

"That's right." Sofu nodded slightly and added a reminder, "Those electric beam wood may not be very strong individually, but they have sufficient energy and are huge in number."

Indeed, what Sofu mentioned is the biggest difficulty.

Luo Mu had just met one of them.

Even Dragonite couldn't rashly take the instantaneous burst of electricity. In a sense, it was not unfair for Tapu Fin-Fin to lose before.

It's attribute restraint, and there's also numerical advantage and energy support.

If it were a game, it would definitely be at the level of shit.

The fact that Tapu Fin-Fin didn't give himself away for nothing was enough to make him proud.

The only combat forces that can be used on my side are probably Roentgen, Swampert and Dragonite.

Three pairs of electric beams with possibly thousands of them, even Luo Mu couldn't say without hesitation that the advantage was mine. Besides, the oxygen problem was also the most important problem.

Unwilling to give up, Luo Mu tentatively asked Tapu Fin-Fin, "Do you still have the power to temporarily purify the environment within a certain range?"

If it were possible, if I were not so restricted, I might be able to accomplish extraordinary things.

If not, the combat effectiveness of his side will never be able to reach a full state of victory. Just replacing the quickly consumed portable oxygen in the fierce battle is enough to give Luo Mu a headache.

At least he wouldn't rush forward regardless of the possibility of overturning when he knew it was very likely.

In response to Luo Mu's question, Tapu Fin-Fin shook his head awkwardly and tangled his hands together in embarrassment.

It doesn't even have the power to help the sea lions purify pollution, so how can it maintain large-scale environmental purification?
Luo Mu was not surprised as he was mentally prepared. After thinking about it, he felt that he had to start with Brugen.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as Brughen is killed, those electric beams will no longer be a threat.

It's no problem to slowly send them back to the Ultimate Cave one by one.

But before that——

Luo Mu looked at Tapu Fin-Fin, smiled and said, "Can I check your body?"

Relying on his mediocre medical skills, Luo Mu gave a full body check-up to the inexplicably shy Tapu Finfin.

Let me talk about the conclusion first.

Compared to the Pokemon, Tapu Finfin's condition is actually much better. Thanks to its physique as a legendary Pokémon, it is hardly affected by pollution or erosion.

But its main problem is different from that of the sea lion.

One is what Sofuu mentioned, that he had never recovered from the injuries he suffered after being defeated in the battle with a group of electric beam wood.

The second is the overwhelming lack of energy. The ocean currents and nature that are the sources of its power have been destroyed. Its condition cannot be compared with that of the other colored Tapu, Kokoro, on Melemele Island, which was almost unaffected.

Luo Mu had thought about going to other islands to ask for help from the patron saints of other islands.

But when he asked, the prompt system mentioned that the other three island gods were no longer within the Alola region.

Only the stubborn Tapu Fin-Fin is still guarding here.

"Well, after all, it's better to treat the injury first."

Luo Mu, like a blue robot cat, took out another bottle of "Life No. 1".

However, this is the last bottle in his stock, and he really can't afford any more. He can prepare two bottles for the vacation, which is already the limit of his caution.

But the medicine made from a mixture of secret seasonings should have a significant effect on Tapu Finfin's injuries.

Looking at the strangely colored liquid in front of him, Tapu Fin-Fin was silent for two seconds, and seeing Luo Mu's surprised expression, he swallowed all the liquid in one gulp.

He didn't even have the chance to say the provocative words, "You don't want Qiuqiu Sea Lion to be without a comfortable home in the future, do you?"

Generally speaking, it takes about ten minutes to half an hour for "Life No. 1" to take effect.

The weak physique of the sea lion will take longer.

But for Kapu Fin-Fin, after drinking it for just over a minute, his slightly pale face suddenly turned rosy.

But because its skin is black, you can't see it at all if you don't look carefully.

"Hey."

Noticing the changes in his body, Tapu Fin-Fin looked at Luo Mu in surprise.

The recovery effect is almost comparable to that of Tapu Butterfly's scale powder, and in some aspects it is even more effective than the scale powder!
The injuries that had troubled it for a long time were healing rapidly under the effect of the medicine.

"Oh-oh——"

The illusory figure of Sofuu standing nearby stroked his beard with an expression of admiration.

This man named Luo Mu is really reliable.

With him around, perhaps Tapu Fin-Fin can really be freed from the pain that has lasted for ten years.

It took nearly five minutes for Tapu Finfin to absorb most of the drug's effects.

The change that came with it was that for the first time in ten years, it felt its body was relaxed, so light that it seemed it could swim around Poni Island several times.

But now there is no such beautiful sea for it to swim in.

Although it no longer has the power to create thick fog covering the mountain with a wave of its hand, it can now at least use some of its former abilities.

It's just that the power and effect are greatly reduced.

After all, most of its power comes from nature and ocean currents.

Tapu Finfin couldn't wait to ask Luo Mu to release the Ball Sea Lion. It planned to take advantage of the fact that it still had the ability to condense "clear water that can purify all filth" to expel the pollution for the Ball Sea Lion.

In this way, even if things fail in the end, it can still ask another self to help Qiuqiu Sea Lion and Luo Mu——

At the same time, the ruins on the other side.

Accompanied by the sound of propellers turning at high speed, Brucken visited here with his subordinates with flattering expressions.

"The ruins on the other side, is this where No. 1146 disappeared?"

Even though he was wearing protective clothing, Brucken still wore a large gold chain like a nouveau riche as he patrolled the surroundings, and his large gold teeth were faintly visible as he spoke.

After checking the interior, the subordinate beside him said, "Master President, there are signs of a fight here, and the other party seems to have left by digging a hole."

"You don't have to tell me. I can see it too."

Bruggen replied impatiently, but he was thinking in his heart.

Although he found the "ruins on the other side" that he had never found before and that those people refused to talk about, the environment was only slightly better than the outside and he really couldn't get interested in it.

The famous "Higan Ruins" is just like this.

On the contrary, he found Tapu Fin-Fin and the invader who assisted it very interesting.

He would make that person know what regret is if he dared to invade Master Bruggen's territory.

Brugen, who usually stays behind the scenes and uses the power of the electric beam woods to crush everything, does not intend to waste time in the ruins on the other side. He decides to take action himself today.

"Go to the power plant and send out 800 electric beams at the same time. Even if we have to turn Poni Island upside down, we must find them and bring them to me."

Brugen showed a cold and violent smile, and under the protection of electric beams, he walked into the helicopter parked outside.

Anyway, this island is about to reach its end. It is only a matter of time before it breaks and sinks. The worst that can happen is that we can just move to another place.
