Chapter 581: The Ultimate Beast and the End Cave

The handsome guy is still wearing his coat, suit and shirt, which makes people wonder if he doesn't feel hot.

Lila was still the same as always, wearing a well-fitting and capable uniform, and her purple hair was slightly messy, tied up by a black headband.

Both of them looked somewhat disheveled, as if they had been attacked by something. Lila's delicate face was covered with a lot of dust, just like the handsome guy's.

When the two saw Luo Mu, they were stunned for a few seconds. They never expected to meet him here.

Then the two of them looked at the Roentgen cat behind Luo Mu, with a slight look of joy on their faces.

That’s great, maybe Luo Mu has a way to restrain that beast that eats everything indiscriminately!

Because of the urgency of the situation, the two of them temporarily ignored Tapu Fin-Fin and Aoki and others behind Luo Mu and directly grabbed his hand.

"Are you free? Please help me!"

Luo Mu: (_)ヾ?
As a member of Interpol, the job of the handsome guy and Lila is to travel around the world and handle some difficult tasks from an outsider's perspective.

After the great victory of the last team up with Frost Mountain to capture Hunter J Team, the handsome guy continues to carry out activities as a senior Interpol.

But after completing several important tasks in succession, Lila, because of the special nature of her identity, jumped from being a handsome guy's subordinate to the director of the Interpol UB Countermeasures Headquarters.

In theory, this young Interpol officer, who seemed a little cold at first glance, was already the handsome guy's boss.

Of course, this is just one of the background introductions for their sudden appearance in the Alola region.

As they walked deeper into the cave, the two of them explained the current situation to each other.

UB, also known as "Ultra Beast", translates to ultimate beast or ultimate beast.

They are unknown creatures that "visit" this world from another dimension and are quite dangerous.

They are the creatures that have long threatened the Alola region. Because of their existence, the existence of the island guardian is known to everyone in the Alola region.

Because from ancient times to the present, the people of Alola have often witnessed the appearance of the four guardian gods of the island, protecting the island from the vicious Ultra Beasts.

These Ultra Beasts came into this world through a phenomenon called the Ultra Hole. Because they are quite threatening to the creatures in this world and often cause great harm, Interpol has been trying to find ways to deal with related issues.

The two of them talked about this.

Aoki, who somewhat regretted going out with Luo Mu today and getting directly involved in a strange incident, came close to Luo Mu and whispered, "It sounds a bit like a paradoxical Pokémon."

"It's not the same thing, but the brutality is very similar."

Luo Mu nodded slightly in response, then continued to listen to Lila and the handsome guy's story.

Lila's special identity also contributed to her becoming the director of Interpol's UB Countermeasures Headquarters.

When he first met Lila, Luo Mu wondered why she had changed so obviously compared to the Lila in the battle he had watched not long ago.

The reason is also very simple.

Lila is not from this world at all.

In this world, Lila is still in the Battle Frontier as the Battle Lord, waiting for a young man who has captured her heart to travel there.

And the Lila in front of Luo Mu fell into this world from the Ultimate Cave!

And like Moon, he lost his memory.

In other words, there are two Lilas in the world today, one is the Battle Lord and the other is Interpol.

This matter is considered the highest level of confidentiality within Interpol. If it were not an emergency and the two needed to seek Luo Mu's help, they would never reveal the whole matter.

After they mentioned the Ultimate Cave, Luo Mu remembered the setting of a side quest in the Sun and Moon game.

I had some idea of ​​what caused the two to be in such a mess and why Zubat and Golbat flew out of the dark cave.

Sure enough, after a somewhat lengthy "previous introduction", the two mentioned the main issues at hand.

"Because according to the current intelligence, the Ultra Hole almost only appears in the Alola region, so our headquarters is also set up in the Alola region."

"This incident was an accident."

Lila paused, her eyes fixed on the dark passage that stretched forward as if leading to the abyss, but her hand holding the flashlight remained steady.

"We at Interpol's UB Countermeasures Headquarters have detected energy fluctuations on this Poni Island that appear to be caused by the opening of the Ultimate Hole."

"As usual, the two detectives will go out together to send the Ultimate Beast that strayed into this world back to where it belongs before the Ultimate Hole closes."

"The mission went smoothly, but the unexpected happened and we were caught off guard."

Seeing Lila lost in memories, her heroic brows slightly wrinkled, and the handsome guy took over the conversation.

"As someone who traveled through the Ultimate Hole, Lila was bathed in the energy of the Ultimate Hole, and became a person who would be chased and attacked by the Ultimate Beasts. We at Interpol call this "FALL."

Taking advantage of FALL's characteristics, Interpol used it as "bait" to capture many Ultimate Beasts, and after understanding them, they released them back to the Ultimate Cave, but the handsome guy did not say it.

He simply explained: "After handling the incident, we were planning to return, but an unknown Ultra Beast that appeared for the first time was attracted by Lila's physique, tore open the Ultra Hole, and appeared behind us."

Thinking of the other person's appearance, the handsome guy's already sad features became even more sad.

"As soon as that guy appeared, he started to devour everything around him. We tried to neutralize him, but we found that he could even devour Pokémon's moves. His strength was beyond our ability to resist."

"We can only choose to temporarily retreat under the enemy's pursuit and return to the headquarters to prepare for a counterattack."

"If something hadn't attracted that guy's attention, I'm afraid that the guy who rushed out with us just now would have been him."

When the handsome guy said this, Lila's expression became a little worried.

"Like those Zubats, there are still many wild Pokémon living in this cave. If we let the Ultra Beasts wreak havoc here, there will definitely be unacceptable consequences before we can get back."

"So, as the head of the UB Countermeasures Headquarters, I have activated temporary measures—"

"Seek help from a powerful trainer."

"Mr. Luo Mu, King Qingmu, I hope you can lend a helping hand."

After some conversation, the two of them basically explained the current situation.

Even Aoki could condense these words into one sentence.

These two people were looking for me and Luo Mu to be thugs——

When Aoki thought about having to deal with a Pokémon as ferocious as the Paradox, he felt his temples, which had relaxed during the three-day vacation, begin to throb again.

Is Luo Mu a walking disaster beast? Why do strange things happen wherever he goes?

Although he thought it was troublesome, Aoki never said no. He couldn't bear to let the wild Pokémon in this cave be attacked.

Even if you have to work overtime yourself.

Since Aoki was like this, Luo Mu naturally had no objection, not to mention that the worries of Tapu Fin-Fin behind him were about to materialize.

Tapu Finfin doesn't want anything bad to happen in this beautiful Alola.

In this case, it would be unreasonable not to lend a hand with something that is so easy to do.

Not to mention that there are golden flowers in this cave, so I can't just sit there and watch.

Luo Mu probably knew the true identity of that "unknown" ultimate beast.

If it was that guy, it wouldn't be surprising that Lila and the handsome guy couldn't handle it.

If I had no information, I would have watched in confusion as the Roentgen cat's attack was swallowed by the other party, and my first reaction would definitely be to run away.

However, in the detailed descriptions of the two, Luo Mu still had a question.

What on earth could be more attractive to that Ultimate Beast than to Lila, who is a "FALL"?
With some doubts, Luo Mu asked the two people: "This cave looks quite big, does it have a specific name?"

Lila and the handsome guy looked at each other, and after a brief thought, the handsome guy replied, "The end."

"The residents of Poni Island have passed down this cave from generation to generation, calling it the Cave of the End."

The few of them soon arrived at the place where Lila and the handsome guy had dealt with the Ultimate Beasts before.

However, apart from the obvious signs of fighting and some ground and rock formations that had been gnawed into a mess, there was almost nothing here.

If we have to say something is related to the ultimate beast, it is the white collapsed network passage that is quietly suspended in the air, as if leading to some unknown world.

“This is the Ultimate Hole”

When Aoki saw the Ultimate Hole for the first time, his eyes widened and he could barely maintain the calmness of an adult office worker.

It really looks like it is leading to some unknown world.

I heard from the handsome guy and Lila that this thing will be randomly activated in the Alola region, and different Ultra Beasts will jump out of it to cause trouble.

In a sense, they are even more dangerous than the group of violent paradoxes imprisoned in the Padya Pit.

After all, the Paradox Pokémon sneaking out of the Padia Pit was an isolated case, and the Ultra Hole was opened completely randomly and could not be prevented in advance.

Although Luo Mu also knew about the Ultimate Cave and had actually seen it, the Lotus Crown King who took in Cosmogu told him what the Ultimate Cave looked like.

But it was actually the first time he saw the Ultimate Hole with his own eyes.

Looking at the mysterious passage, he inexplicably felt the urge to jump in and see where it would lead him.

But soon, this dangerous thought was firmly suppressed by his own reason and no longer revealed.

Looking at the still open Ultimate Hole, the handsome guy stroked his chin and frowned slightly, "The other party should be moving."

Before the handsome guy could finish his words, a deafening roar of a wild beast sounded from the depths of the cave.

"Hmmhhhhhhhhh!"

"!!!"

Lila's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "It was that guy's cry!"

Luo Mu, who was investigating the traces, paused and his expression became strange.

No, this cry——

"Pukala!"

Tapu Fin-Fin seemed to have sensed something, his expression was tinged with anxiety, and he urged Luo Mu to follow him.

Luo Mu also reacted quickly. He looked at the Roentgen cat and followed Tapu Finfin's actions without hesitation.

Lila and the handsome guy were a beat slow to react and looked at Aoki.

It seemed that they wanted to know from Aoki why Luo Mu was followed by an island guardian who looked different from what they expected.

Aoki just shrugged and replied indifferently: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Under the leadership of Tapu Finfin, Luo Mu and Roentgen Cat quickly arrived at the place where the sound came from.

The space here is wider than the interconnected passages they passed through before, and is supported by many rock pillars.

A creature made of a black sphere, supported by a pair of thick legs, was making a commotion in the cave.

There is a big yellow mouth in the middle of its body, with two rows of teeth on the top and bottom of the mouth, which are yellow in front and black in the back. As it makes a lot of noise, two thick, pincer-like tongues extending from its mouth are swallowing everything around it without saying a word.

Many stone pillars have collapsed and turned into food for unknown creatures.

There was a human greed in the two glowing blue eyes above the creature's upper jaw and in a pair of even smaller blue eyes on another small conical head on top of the main sphere.

It is enjoying its own eating.

The same thought emerged in the minds of the three people who followed Luo Mu's steps.

Luo Mu narrowed his eyes and recited the name of the unknown creature in his mind.

It turned out to be the ultimate beast codenamed "UB05: Big Eater", the King of Evil Eaters.

This guy was the one I mentioned before when I went to Tapu Fin-Fin's world. In a parallel world, he turned the Haoale City on Melemele Island into a ruin and became the culprit for the Ultimate Tower.

If we let this guy continue eating and no one stops him, the entire Poni Island will suffer a disaster sooner or later.

A few panicked buzzing bats flapped their dragon wings and flew hurriedly over the heads of the few people, fleeing from this dangerous place.

As if he was looking for some delicious food, the King of Evil Food, who was eating happily, completely ignored Luo Mu and his group, including Lila, and just used his forked tongue to continuously form the rocks of the rock pillar.

——At least on the surface, that's what it seems.

A place where the four humans, Luo Mu, and the Pokémon, Roentgen Cat and Flower Bird, cannot see.

In Tapu Fin's field of vision, he could clearly see green objects that occasionally fell into his big mouth when he grabbed the rock pillars and swallowed them.

We can't let this guy keep eating like this!
Although this area is not under his jurisdiction as the guardian of the island, Tapu Fin-Fin knows better than anyone what terrible things will happen if he allows the Food King to eat it.

The other self might have sensed something and is rushing over.

Now it will assist Luo Mu in delaying the Evil Food King, or even defeat him and send him back to the Ultimate Cave!
