Chapter 517 The Alola Journey (3)
Lillie and Rebecca switched heads and feet and talked a lot throughout the night.
Speaking of artificial spirits, Lillie is reminded of her brother's.
And when she thinks of her brother Gladgio, she thinks of her parents.
There's also the little nebula she brought from the Ether Foundation.
……
"Although according to Alola's tradition, there are various trials and assessments before challenging the island king."
"But for a world-renowned powerhouse like yourself, let's skip that step."
After breakfast, Kukui returned the Pokédex to Rebecca.
He was shocked after reading the information about various natural disasters recorded in the encyclopedia.
This Rebecca is no ordinary person; it's probably only a matter of time before she reigns supreme over the entire elven world.
It's fortunate that she's a woman.
Ultimately, they might just occupy a certain region and become a champion.
No... perhaps she has bigger ambitions!
Otherwise, how do you explain her joining the Rockets?
Alola is located in a non-mainstream area far from the Pokémon League.
However, this area has close ties with the Kanto region.
The reason for this is the Rockets' trade!
Thinking about this...
Kukui decided that it would be best to send this "Golden Queen" away as soon as possible.
……
What are we here for?
Poni Island, the westernmost of the Alora islands.
Because they ride on Latios, they can travel very quickly between islands.
The Doctor's Brave Eagle and Magneton were left far behind.
But Kukui still chose to follow her all the way.
Otherwise, the Alola region might be taken over by Team Rocket very soon!
"Didn't you want to challenge the island's queen? I've arranged a fight for you right here."
In the ruins on the other side.
In front of the enormous altar.
A stone statue made of various natural objects such as seashells, large leaves, feathers, rocks, and trees is placed here.
"This is where we worship the island's guardian spirit, Kapu-Fin, and it will watch over our battle."
Watching her fight?
Oh……
In fact, Rebecca had already discovered the gods of these islands long ago.
She had already locked onto Tapu Koko while she was on Melemele Island.
But that cunning guy, upon seeing Rebecca's superpowers and Delta Force, turned tail and ran.
I suspect this Kapu-Fin is no exception.
This time, the island king, Hapuu, is just a child.
She recently succeeded her grandfather as the "King of the Island".
A trainer specializing in Ground-type moves?
"Sister, you should know the rules, right? You can't use medicine here in Alola."
"know."
"Alright, let's use mud to pull the horse!"
"Gem starfish!"
……
In less than 3 minutes.
All five of Hapuu's spirits were defeated!
Although she is not strong enough yet.
But considering her age, that's already incredibly amazing!!
This seven or eight-year-old kid's average Pokémon level is close to 70!
This demonstrates the profound family background of these island kings.
They've lived in Alora for generations, practically like local tyrants!
Hapuu's Pokémon lineup
"No wonder you're a four-time champion! You're amazing, can I get your autograph?"
After saying goodbye to Haupt.
The doctor, along with Rebecca and Lillie, looked down over the entire island of Pony Island from high above.
"Doctor! I want to go there and take a look."
Rebecca was referring to "Bonnie Grand Canyon".
Pony Island
The landscape of the Grand Canyon
This is also the birthplace of the Alola region's "exams," as mentioned on tourist maps.
The island pilgrimage tour was developed to perfect this system.
The so-called "island tour".
In the Alola region, children aged 11 and above must complete the tests on the four main islands.
The assessment content includes many things.
But the ultimate goal of quantification is to defeat the "dominant spirit" of the corresponding island!
Four islands, which means four overlords!
But it is said that there are more than four dominant Pokémon.
In short, after defeating the overlord.
Only then can one challenge the island king of the "corresponding" island.
Rebecca essentially skipped the process of defeating the "overlord".
"Booooooooo!!!"
A commotion arose in the canyon.
"Drip!"
"The Staff-tailed Armored Dragon will use its entire body of scales to make a piercing sound to intimidate enemies when it encounters them. Its thick scales are both offensive and defensive, and can even be processed into weapons."
Is this what a "hegemon" is?
Although she had seen quite a few dominant elves in the city elves.
However, their greatest strength lies in their size and potential.
In this world of memories and spirits, the overlord is more than just "big"!
"Be careful! The Overlord Pokémon are powerful individuals blessed by nature. They are surrounded by a special aura and are much stronger than ordinary Pokémon!"
Ankylosaurus
[Scales shoot out!]
Rebecca didn't care about any of that and secretly instructed Latios to unleash Scale Shot.
"Well!"
Transparent, glassy feathers transformed into layers of flying arrows, bombarding the giant dragon.
"oh oh!!!"
This is a strike "beyond visual range".
Before the "Overlord Staff-tailed Armored Dragon" could even react, it was astonished who was attacking it.
It's a powerful, dominant spirit; who dares to attack it?!
This behemoth, used to its imposing presence, wanted to roar a couple of times in a show of defiance.
But it couldn't withstand such a terrifying attack, and it screamed repeatedly, trying to find cover.
Latios' second, third, and fourth Scale Shots rained down like a storm!
Such a dense array of "scales" overlapped without any warning!
This barrage of attacks completely stunned Kommo-o!
His skin was torn open, scales were flying everywhere, and he was covered in blood!
The young elves of the surrounding tribes were either dead or wounded, many teetering on the brink of death...
"stop!"
“I know you want to capture it, but once the dominant Pokémon leaves this island, it’s just a larger version of a regular Pokémon.”
I see, that makes sense.
The so-called "dominant aura" is born in extremely harsh environments.
Once the favorable "timing" of nature, the "geographical advantage" of the island, and the "human factor" of the ethnic group providing sustenance are lost...
The "aura" will then cease to exist.
Let's forget about it then.
Rebecca went down and caught a few Heartscale Dragons and Armored Dragons, and that was it for her visit.
If they were all arrested, it might affect the natural ecosystem here.
It's best not to push things too far in front of a PhD student.
Lillie watched the whole thing and was so overwhelmed by Rebecca's power that she was speechless!
If she were that strong, would her mother change her twisted thinking...?
The group continued flying north along the Great Valley.
Soon a magnificent altar came into view.
It is the "Sun Wheel Altar".
Why is there only one altar?
Sun Altar
Looking at the golden, corona-shaped ruins that had absorbed the sunlight, Rebecca asked a question.
"Legend has it that the 'Moon Altar' exists in other dimensions, and some say that at certain times, the Sun Altar will transform into the Moon Altar."
Dr. Kukui explained.
The group descended from the sky and arrived at the plaza in front of the altar, in front of the towering black stone monument.
This contains ancient legends about the Alora region.
Long ago, the Alola region was a world in complete darkness.
Later, a legendary Scourge, radiating golden light, visited Alora.
It brought light to this dark sea.
People revered that spirit as the "Radiant God"!
The Radiant God is an existence that is ridiculously powerful in the lore.
After it burned out all its light, it disappeared completely...
The altar here is dedicated to another god who is closely related to it.
It is the sun god named "Solgaleo"!!
