Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 24 Little Nebula Likes You

There are no Gyms in the Alola region, but instead, there is the traditional Alola region ritual, the Island Tour.

The so-called Island Tour involves challengers traveling to four islands, overcoming various trials led by the captains, and finally facing the island king and queen in the ultimate trial.

Once you pass the test, you have completed the challenge of this island.

Of course, the king and queen of the islands will go easy on challengers; that's inevitable.

Lilytown is a place known as 'a place to thank Pokémon'.

This is a town inhabited by people familiar with Kapok and Mimikko, carrying on ancient traditions.

Similarly, this is also where Hara, the king of Melemele Island, puts his challengers to a great test.

The town of Lili is unusually lively today, because after a long time, challengers have finally come to take on Hala's great trial!

The celebration stage in the center of the town was now crowded with people, as many townspeople had come to witness whether this great trial would be successful.

The festival stage is usually used for the Tapu Koko Festival, but the Great Trial is also held here.

Hala, a robust man with white hair and beard, wearing a yellow overcoat, stood on the stage, watching the girl slowly walk up to him.

"Mizuki, are you ready?"

"Of course! Come on, old man! I'll win!"

Straightening her beloved flower-covered straw hat, the bright-eyed and white-toothed girl flashed a big smile, her expression both excited and sharp.

"Hehehe... That's quite a nice expression."

Sensing the girl's intense fighting spirit, Hala couldn't help but chuckle softly.

As the king of Melemele Island, he is also the oldest king of islands in the Alola region.

He was delighted to see such a pure and outstanding junior trainer as Mizuki; this child... was far more outstanding than his own grandson.

"Then I, the King of the Island, Hala, will personally guide you, challenger!"

Hala suddenly changed his demeanor, raising his right hand directly at Mizuki, his imposing and dignified presence drawing attention.

Even outstanding juniors must defeat him in this great trial to continue their journey!
Melemele Island. Island King Hara has come to challenge!
Mizuki's first major trial officially began, and Hala naturally went easy on her, after all, Hala was a veteran Elite Four level trainer.

In the game "Sun & Moon", he is one of the official Alola Elite Four, which speaks volumes.

But this is just a big trial, and Hala certainly won't go all out against a rookie trainer who has only recently started his journey.

Even so, defeating Hala is still not easy.

However, Mizuki is not an ordinary trainer!
All the onlookers watched the intense battle on the festival stage with great excitement, especially when Mizuki's Hakuryu defeated Hara's Makushita Rikishi, they cheered excitedly.

"Mizuki really has... monstrous talent!"

Kukui, arms crossed, couldn't help but sigh, and the 'monster' he referred to was, of course, a compliment.

Regardless, he found the girl who had moved from Kanto to be absolutely stunning.

Its combat experience grew rapidly, its talent for cultivation was outstanding, and its combat intuition was like that of a monster, making Kukui feel extremely ashamed.

He considers himself a genius trainer back then, but compared to Mizuki Ichika now, he feels that he was actually quite bad back then.

Look at them, it's only been a short time! They've already grown to this level.

“Yes, Mizuki is really amazing.” Lillie, standing to the side, had a bright smile on her fair and delicate face.

"With such a successor, Alola really deserves to rise!"

Kukui was filled with relief and anticipation. Although Mizuki was originally from Kanto, what did it matter?
Now that she has moved to Alora, she is an Aloraman!

And once Mizuki fully matures, this 'monster' will surely make the world take notice of her! Kukui has this confidence. It is said that Leon, the undefeated champion of the Galar region, reached his peak right from his debut, defeating all opponents to become the Galar champion.

But now that Alora has Admiral Mizuki, she is definitely no less capable than Leon!

"Huh? Little Nebula! Don't run around, Little Nebula!"

Lillie was watching the battle on stage intently when she suddenly noticed her bag moving; the mischievous Nebula had popped out of the bag again.

The little nebula, looking around, seemed to have pinpointed its location and drifted unsteadily toward that direction.

Lillie panicked and quickly ran towards the little nebula.

Because of the Great Trial, there are too many people here now, and Lillie is afraid that Little Nebula will get lost.

"Excuse me, little Nebula! Little Nebula, where are you?"

After Lillie squeezed through the crowd, she realized that she had lost Nebula.

Lillie sighed wearily, but she was used to it, and began searching around.

According to the little nebula's usual habits, it won't go too far; that's generally the case.

Lillie looked around, but when she saw a tree not far away, she froze.

The afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the boy's figure, like shimmering waves on a calm lake. His gaze was fixed on the girl's profile, which appeared exceptionally gentle and radiant. His dark eyes, bathed in the afterglow, held a captivating smile.

He raised one hand, holding a pink candy between his fingers, and fed it to the little guy in front of him. The interplay of light and shadow created a scene as beautiful as an oil painting reflected in reality.

The girl stared blankly at the boy and Little Nebula. Despite the noisy surroundings, she seemed to hear nothing at that moment.

The scene was so harmonious and beautiful that it made her feel somewhat dazed.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

Mammon noticed the girl in the white dress standing not far away, straightened up, and greeted her with a smile.

"mo~mo~"

Seeing that the boy's attention had been drawn away, Little Nebula floated in front of him somewhat dissatisfyingly and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll touch you, I'll touch you."

Mammon's smile deepened. He pinched Nebula's cheek and then took out a candy and fed it to Nebula.

"My lovely lady, don't you recognize me?"

Seeing Lillie's dazed expression, Mammon raised an eyebrow.

"Ah... I'm sorry, sir, I was just lost in thought."

Upon hearing this, Lillie finally came to her senses, blushed, and lowered her head in embarrassment, realizing how rude she had been.

And cuteness and stuff...

“It’s alright. I didn’t expect such a coincidence. I just came to see the island king’s grand trial, and I never thought I’d run into you again, Miss,” Mammon said with a smile.

"This child is just as energetic as last time."

Mammon's gaze shifted back to Nebula, his smile deepening.

"Yes, Little Nebula is very energetic, but it seems to really like you, sir."

Lillie's mood had improved somewhat, but she looked at the clingy Nebula with a strange expression.

Come to think of it, this handsome young man mentioned before that his abilities are quite appealing to Pokémon.

P.S.: Mizuki, the female protagonist of *Sun & Moon* and *Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon*, is a powerful female character who defeated Necrozma to her knees in the games and single-handedly took down Team Rainbow Rocket. She is one of the most formidable main characters.
