Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 538 The God of Creation Appears, the Test of Arceus!

Poni Island, Village of the Sea People, 3:00pm.

In order to find Tapu Fin-Fin, Naoki and Guruton arrived at this coastal town in the southwest of Poni Island.

Looking around, this town is really full of Alola characteristics. It is different from towns in the conventional sense. The village of sea dwellers is actually a huge wooden ship!

A big green tree grows in the center of the wooden boat. The trunk is almost integrated with the building, and the green canopy covers a small part of the hull.

There are many ports extending outward on both sides of the wooden boat, and at the end there are several strangely shaped ships parked.

The Steel Snake ship, the Whale King ship, the Magikarp ship, the Grouper ship...

It was afternoon, and local residents were leisurely relaxing in the town. Some children around four or five years old were chasing and playing with each other.

The sky is blue and the water is clear. The warm sunshine shines on the earth. Along with the cries of long-winged gulls coming from afar, waves gather on the sparkling sea and gently hit the shore.

The air is filled with a leisurely and tranquil atmosphere, as if you have arrived in a paradise.

"This place is so beautiful!" Naoki couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, apart from Melemele Island, there are still many places in the Alola region that have not been developed and still maintain the past living habits.

Naoki and Guldon walked into the town and looked at the townspeople and Pokémon who greeted each other with "Alola", and immediately felt the strong local customs and culture.

The town is not big, and most of the people living here know each other. When they suddenly saw a stranger coming, they all cast curious glances over here.

There were also some bold and enthusiastic people who took the initiative to greet Naoki.

"Alola! You're from out of town, right?"

Naoki looked at the girl who was speaking. The girl was wearing traditional Alola clothing. Her skin was tanned by the sun, but her big eyes were bright and she was looking at him curiously.

He smiled and nodded, "Alora, that's right."

The girl was even more surprised to hear the man mention Alola.

Facing her expression, Naoki raised an eyebrow: "Isn't this the greeting used in the Alola region?"

"That's right!" The girl nodded: "You learned it too, Alola!"

"Alola!" Naoki repeated.

He knew that this phrase meant "hello" in the Alola region.

Gulden beside him also imitated and said, "Ah, gah!"

Seeing this scene, the girl was amused and giggled. She immediately had a better impression of this person and that Pokémon, so she invited them warmly:

"Is this your first time visiting our Ocean Dwellers Village? If possible, let me show you around this place!"

"Eh? Is it okay?" Naoki was a little surprised. The people here are so enthusiastic!

"Of course!" The girl introduced herself, "My name is Kirari, and I'm an expert in Fairy Eevee! Come on, come on!"

"Sorry for bothering you!" Naoki smiled. He was unfamiliar with the place, so it would be much easier to have a local show him around.

Then, he followed Kirali to visit the village.

Kirari pointed to the large ship in the shape of the King of Roaring Whales in the northwest and introduced it:
"That's the restaurant in town! You can take your Pokémon there at night. The seafood noodles in the restaurant are very delicious!"

"The big Steelix ship next to it is where trainers gather. The hull is as hard as steel, so many trainers often gather there to fight Pokémon!"

Naoki listened with interest. At this moment, he saw the Magikarp boat on the other side and asked, "Is that the boat over there?"

Kirali looked in that direction and replied, "That's the boat station in the village. The Magikarp boat on the east side can go to Hao'ao City, Kangdai City and Ether Paradise, and the boat on the west side goes to Coconut Tree Island!"

"I recommend you go to Coconut Tree Island. It's an undeveloped island in the sea of ​​Poni Island and a special protected area of ​​Alola. There are many cute eggs and Alola coconut trees living on the island!"

Alola Palm... It's a Grass + Dragon Pokémon.

Perfect for crossing, Naoki thought.

The village was small, so it didn’t take long for Kirali to finish introducing the more famous places and facilities.

She turned her head and asked innocently, "But what are you doing here, big brother?"

"Me?" Naoki said with a smile, "Actually, I'm here to participate in the island tour, but there doesn't seem to be an island king on Poni Island, so I plan to find the guardian god here, Tapu Fin-Fin, and receive the test from it."

Hearing this, Kirari covered his mouth in surprise: "Island pilgrimage? Big brother is awesome!"

Naoki was puzzled: "What's so great about this?" He remembered that all children in the Alola region could participate!

Kirari answered with admiration: "Because only very powerful trainers can challenge the island tour! Battle with dominant Pokémon, get Z bracelets and Z moves, and get the recognition of the king of the island!"

After hearing this, Naoki thought about it carefully and found that it seemed to be true.

Just like challenging gyms to collect badges, not everyone can battle through gyms.

"However, as long as you work hard, even if you can't defeat the dominant Pokémon, your spirit will definitely be recognized by them," Naoki said.

"Yes!" Kirari nodded happily, and then volunteered to say: "Big brother, do you want to find the guardian god Tapu Fin-Fin? In that case, let me help! Let's go to the elders, the elders must know where Tapu Fin-Fin lives!"

As he said that, Kirari pulled Naoki to a wooden house in the center of the village.

She stood on tiptoe and knocked on the door: "Elder Haisen, a guest is here to visit!"

After a while, the door opened and a bald old man walked out with a thick white beard under his nose.

"What is it, Kirari?"

Kirari: "This big brother here is a trainer who came to participate in the island tour. He wants to find our guardian god Tapu Finfin and complete the guardian god's test!"

"What? Pilgrimage to the islands?" The old man was shocked and looked quickly at the man next to him.

Naoki showed him his island tour certificate: "This is my proof of participating in the island tour. I have completed the test of Melemele Island."

The old man took the certificate and looked at it for a few seconds, then said with some difficulty: "But... there is no island king on Poni Island anymore, and the guardian god hasn't appeared for a long time..."

The king of the island is chosen by the guardian god, but since the death of the previous king of the island, Tapu Fin-Fin has never appeared in the town again.

"Ah? What should I do then?" Kirali was very worried.

The old man thought about it carefully, and then gave a possible location of Tapu Fin-Fin.

"However, there is a ruin on the southeast corner of Poni Island that is used to worship the guardian god. People in the past called it the place where life ends. You can go there and take a look. A few days ago, a tourist witnessed the guardian god nearby. Maybe the guardian god can sense your feelings and will show up."

Ruins on the other side? After getting the clue of Tapu Fin-Fin, Naoki nodded immediately and expressed his gratitude to Kirari and the old man.

"Thank you very much, Elder Haisen, and Kirari, for showing me around the village. This is a specialty from my hometown. Consider it a thank you gift!"

As he spoke, Naoki took out a few bottles of life goat milk and energy cubes from his backpack and gave them out.

"goodbye!"

Kirari stared blankly at the gifts in her arms. Before she could come to her senses, she saw the other party leaving with the Pokémon.

*
Poni Island, east of Poni Gulang Rock Shore.

Following the navigation of the map app, Naoki successfully arrived at the ancient ruins used to worship Tapu Fin-Fin. He looked around calmly, but did not find any trace of Tapu Fin-Fin.

Naoki carefully recalled the contents related to Tapu Fin-Fin.

As far as he knew, Tapu Fin was different from Tapu Chirp. Tapu Fin did not like Pokémon battles. It loved the land of Poni Island very much and would immediately punish anyone it saw doing anything that would destroy the land.

In the anime, it was because of a Pokémon battle between Ash and Ketchum at the Ruins of the Other Side that angered Tapu Fin.

The Pokémon's moves destroyed the land, making Tapu Fin very angry, so he appeared here and trapped Ash and Kawhi in thick fog.

Thinking of this, an idea immediately popped up in Naoki's mind.

Got it!

Since Pokémon battles can attract Tapu Fin's attention, he will use this method to lure out Tapu Fin!

Naoki immediately took out a Poké Ball from his pocket.

A white light flashed, and Babu Tubo appeared in the ruins. He looked around in confusion: "Bamo?"

This time when he went out, Naoki only brought four Pokémon with him: Guleron, Bubblehead, Dragonite, and Mount Goat. The other Pokémon were left in the pasture to bask in the sun.

"Babuda, come and fight against Gulden!" Naoki said.

Upon hearing this, Babu Tubo and Gultun were both shocked.

"Bamo?!"

"Ah gah?!"

"Of course, we don't really want you to fight, we're just putting on a show to lure out that Pokémon named Tapu Fin-Fin!" Naoki whispered, "Pay attention, try to use low-power moves, and don't destroy the land here."

The two Pokémon immediately understood Naoki's plan.

"Bamo..." Babu Tubo breathed a sigh of relief.

So Leton also looked surprised.

"Well, let's start!" Naoki said.

"Bamo!"

"Ah gah!"

Babu Tubo and Gultun immediately started a Pokémon battle in an orderly manner.

Babu Tubo swung up the small hammer and rushed forward. Gulerton also looked serious and clenched his right fist to meet him.

The two Pokémon collided with each other, making a "boom" sound.

So Lewton and Babu Tubo hinted at each other with their eyes.

The next second, a yellow electric current was released from Babu Tubo's body and enveloped Gulden's body.

"Ah, gash!" Gultun immediately let out a cry of pain.

However, the thunder was loud but the rain was small.

The electric current released by Babu Tubo was only ten volts and would not cause any harm to Gulden.

Seeing Gulden's appearance, Babu Tubo couldn't help but be speechless and whispered: "Bamo..."

Gulden roared, turned around and used "close combat" against Babu Tubo, throwing Babu Tubo away.

So Leton used very little strength, and Babu Tudou stabilized his body as soon as he was thrown out, but he remembered Naoki's instructions and fell backwards very cooperatively, with a look of pain on his face and a sound of pain from his mouth.

"Bamo!"

Gulden: “…Ah, gash.” Still talking about it!
Naoki glanced at the two Pokémon acting, then began to pay attention to the situation around him.

At first, it was fine.

But as the battle between Gultun and Babu Tubo became more and more intense, gradually, a thin mist began to appear around the ruins.

Tapu Finfin is attracted here!

Very good, Naoki was very satisfied, and said to the two Pokémon at the same time: "Keep going!"

In a hidden corner, Tapu Fin-Fin stared angrily at the two Pokémon that were destroying its beloved land.

This kind of behavior should be punished!
"Fin-fin!"

Tapu Finfin let out an angry cry.

In an instant, more fog appeared in the air.

The fog continued to spread, and soon enveloped the entire ruins.

"Guleton, Babu Tubo!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scene turned completely white. Naoki immediately called out to Gulden and Babu Tubo, asking them to come over to his side.

However, a strange thing happened. At a distance of only four or five meters, Naoki did not receive any response from the two Pokémon!
His heart sank, and he immediately ran in the direction of Gultun and Babu Tubo. However, after running for three minutes, he could not find Babu Tubo and Gultun.

Instead, a "door" emitting a faint light appeared in front of him.

Naoki: "?"

At the same time, Tapu Fin-Fin, who was controlling the thick fog, suddenly felt a terrifying breath.

The mist released by it is out of control!

A surprised expression appeared on Tapu Finfin's face. It felt very clearly that an unknown force had intervened!
"Fin-fin..." Tapu Fin-fin looked at his hands in disbelief.

At this moment, a majestic and sacred voice of unknown gender sounded in its ears.

"Don't worry, leave this to me!"

"Fin-Fin?!" Tapu Fin-Fin quickly turned his head and looked around, but it saw nothing.

"I'm here." The voice sounded again.

Tapu Fin-Fin turned his head to the right, and then he saw a tall figure radiating a holy light.

Infinite power emanated from His body. That light was so sacred, so sacred that it made people want to bow down and worship Him from the bottom of their hearts.

At this glance, Tapu Fin-Fin felt as if he had seen again the Pokémon called the God of Light by humans tens of millions of years ago, Ultra Necrozma!

But the aura emanating from the other party was very different from that of the Glorious God...

At this moment, Tapu Finfin couldn't help but ask: "Finfin?" (Who are you?)

Arceus did not turn his head, but his voice rang out from nowhere:

"My name is Arceus, the creator of this world."
