Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

"We should be almost at the Alola region by now, right?" Ash asked the crew member not far away as he returned to the deck after his swim in the sea.

"I just confirmed with the captain that I will be entering the Alora Sea soon and will then dock at Kangtai Beach on Akala Island," the crew member replied immediately.

This was a trip that Xiaozhi had planned in advance. Xiaolan's Space Research Institute was located in Kangdai City, and she had already made arrangements for the group to stay at the Tingtao Hotel in Kangdai City.

Moen will be settled there until a deal is reached with Rosamund.

Of course, that's not the main point. Xiao Lan will be picking up the boat at the dock later, and that's the most important thing!

"Hmm?" The cruise ship continued its journey, and the coastline of Akala Island was close at hand, but Ash suddenly became alert.

The nearby sea had become unusually quiet, as if an unknown superpower was gathering strength ahead!

"Hey, is this pollen?" The sea breeze carried clusters of light like fireflies, gently swirling around the ship's side. Lila curiously brushed them away with her hand; they were slippery and slimy, much like drifting pollen.

"Psychic powers, scales... Everyone be careful, it's the guardian spirit of Alola!"

Ash immediately became alert and used his psychic powers to protect Lyra and Misty, while Bea rushed to Ash's side.

Meanwhile, the crew members on deck, including Xiao Gang who was farther away, were all unconscious!

Accompanied by a ripple of superpowers, a Pokémon with dark skin, pink braids, and a face that looks like a young girl suddenly appeared in front of the cruise ship!

Its lower body resembles a pink eggshell, and it also has a pair of small butterfly wings growing on its back, constantly releasing fine scales.

Tapu Lele, the guardian deity of Akara Island!

"Tsubasa...Tsubasa!" By conventional standards of beauty, Tapu Lele is quite cute, but its attitude towards Ash and the others is anything but friendly. Without a word, it unleashed a Psychic Beam!

hum!

Ash immediately unleashed his psychic powers to counterattack. The two invisible forces clashed in the air, eventually transforming into a violent distortion.

"Hmm..." Ash's body swayed slightly, and Tapu Lele, whose attack had failed, also showed a puzzled expression.

However, it quickly became enraged again, and its immense superpowers spread out, causing a huge wave to surge across the entire sea.

Tapu Lele, she's here specifically to cause trouble!

Chapter 385 Radiant Stone and Electricity Z, Arrival in Kangdai City

"What's going on? Why did that Pokémon suddenly attack us?!"

On the deck, Misty, who was being protected by Ash, frowned in confusion.

"This is the guardian spirit of the Alola region. It's a Pokémon with a strange temperament, and no one can figure out what it's thinking," Ash said warily.

Tapu, the guardian deities of the Alola region, are probably the four most unrestrained. They can basically do whatever they want on the four islands, and no one dares to or can control them.

Tapu Tweet acts entirely on whim, and is even labeled as 'brutal', so there's simply no logic to her.

“It might be coming for me…” Lila said hesitantly. “I can feel that its anger is basically directed at me.”

"Is it sensing the Ultimate Aura...?" Ash's expression grew cold. Because Lyra had passed through the Ultra Cave, she was naturally tainted with Ultimate Energy. This energy would not only attract Ultra Beasts, but would also be detected by the Guardian Deity Tapu.

But no matter what, this is not a reason for Tapu Lele to attack at will!

"Tapoo, stop!" Ash unleashed his psychic powers, going toe-to-toe with Tapu Lele. "Lyra is my sister. She's just a human who traversed the Ultra Slug, not some alien beast you're trying to guard against!"

"Tsubasa!" Tapu Lele ignored Ash's words, letting out a sharp cry in the air as it unleashed another psychic attack downwards!

"Pikachu!!" At the critical moment, Pikachu rushed out of the cabin and unleashed a powerful bolt of lightning to barely neutralize the attack.

Following closely behind, Nihilego and Moen also arrived at the same time... When Moen saw Tapu Chocho in a rage, he was stunned.

"Tapu Lele, why...?"

"Chocolate!!" Tapu Choco didn't give him a chance to speak. After he and Nihilego arrived, Tapu Choco sensed an Ultra Aura that surged dramatically. It also became extremely angry and included Moen and Nihilego in its attack range!

"Lillie, come back! Pikachu, use Thunder Speed!"

Ash made a quick decision and immediately recalled Nihilego to prevent it from further agitating Tapu Lele.

At the same time, Pikachu transformed into a streak of light and darted out, crashing into Tapu Lele with incredible speed!

With a preemptive strike to a vital point, combined with Ash's fully activated Heart of the Ancients, Tapu Lele was instantly sent flying backward, a look of astonishment on its face.

How could that Pikachu...?

"Tapoo, we mean no harm! Calm down, I'll explain things to you!" Taking this opportunity, Ash used the power of Viridian to reach Tapoo, trying to dispel its hostility.

However, Tapu Lele, who was already furious, refused to listen to any advice. Her superpowers surged so violently that they created waves more than ten meters high in front of the cruise ship!

"Pikachu, use Surf!" Ash had no choice but to let Pikachu use its partner move to attack, while also activating its own psychic powers and the power of Poseidon to barely suppress the restless ocean!

"If you keep going like this, don't blame me for being impolite! Pikachu, fly!"

"Pickup!"

Upon hearing Ash's command, Pikachu shot into the sky like lightning, circled behind Tapu Lele, and swooped down, kicking the Guardian Angel, who was manipulating the seawater, out of the air!

"Unleash your full power, Thunderbolt!!", "Pikachu!!"

"knock!!"

With the full support of Viridian Heart, Pikachu burst forth with terrifying lightning, like a sharp sword piercing Tapu Lele's body!

However, just as the lightning was about to strike the guardian, a swift figure suddenly appeared, wielding an eggshell-like yellow shield to sever the surging thunder!

"Is it an accomplice?" Cai Dou clenched her fists. The new Pokémon with the rooster-like head also had a black body and eggshell elements. It looked like it was from the same batch as Tapu Lele!

"It's Tapu Koko, the guardian spirit of Melemele Island. It's very difficult to deal with." Ash's expression was also extremely solemn.

Most of his main players are not around right now, and his younger brother is busy taking care of his child. The only player he can fight is Pikachu.

Tapu, the guardian deity, is a genuine level two legendary being, even stronger than the peak power of the three idiots from Biasia Island. Ash and Pikachu, going all out, were not afraid of facing one of them.

However, if the two opponents work together, and Tapu Koko, who is also an Electric-type, Ash and Pikachu will have a very difficult time.

"Butterfly..." "Click!"

Fortunately, Tapu Koko seemed to have no intention of getting into a fight with Ash. In fact, when Tapu Lele stepped forward in protest, Tapu Koko even waved its hand to block her.

"Click... Thud!" Tapu Koko seemed very interested in Ash and Pikachu. After tilting its head and thinking for a while, it suddenly appeared in front of Pikachu at an extremely fast speed, startling Pikachu so much that it took off on the spot.

After that, it immediately came to Ash and almost touched his face to his.

Ash didn't flinch at Tapu Koko's scrutinizing gaze, and at the same time tried his best to explain to it.

"This is a misunderstanding. There are special reasons why we possess ultimate auras and why we travel with Ultra Beasts, so..."

call out!

Before the words were even finished, Tapu Koko suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when everyone was puzzled, it reappeared and threw a pitted stone with special patterns to Ash.

"This is..." Ash instinctively caught it, and Tapu Koko also flew forward and gently touched the center of the stone with its sharp claws.

A wisp of electric arc converged, and out of thin air, a yellow, rhomboid crystal with a lightning bolt pattern appeared on the stone!

Glossy Stone and Electric Z!

"Tsubasa!" Tapu Lele complained from behind, but Tapu Koko ignored her and just stared straight at Ash.

"Is this a gift for me? Thank you so much."

Ash gratefully accepted the gift, and Tapu Koko nodded in satisfaction. After turning around and waving to its companions, Tapu Koko floated away.

Before leaving, it released a ring of electric arcs, which roused the group of crew members who had been knocked down.

"Tsubasa...Tsubasa!" Now that things had come to this, Tapu Lele couldn't stay and cause any more trouble. It glared at Ash resentfully, then flew away angrily, carrying a large cloud of scales.

"They're gone... But those two Pokémon are so strange. They're both guardian spirits, so why are their attitudes so different?" Misty was still completely confused after the two Tapu left.

"They're just being willful," Xiao Zhi said, shaking his head helplessly.

He's probably in for some trouble now.

The guardians of the Alola Islands are all Pokémon with distinct personalities. For example, Tapu Koko is very curious and often transforms into Tapu Sprite.

It gave me the Shining Stone and the Electric Z-Move, probably because it was interested in Pikachu's power and wanted to see if it could use a Z-Move with Pikachu.

On the contrary, Tapu Lele is a total pink-faced but secretly scheming and petty person. She's definitely holding a grudge this time and is probably already plotting how to make things difficult for herself.

But that's all in the future. As the coastline drew closer, the dock in Kangdai City was already in sight!

Xiao Zhi had already spotted her from afar; the girl he hadn't seen for many days was at the edge of the pier, waving continuously in the direction of the cruise ship!

Chapter 386 Reunion, the girl's home turf remains strong~

"Ash, Ash~"

At the pier on Kangdai Beach, a girl dressed in a cool outfit waved her hat happily and called out someone's name in a familiar way.

The next second, before the cruise ship even docked, the boy teleported away.

He appeared in front of the girl unexpectedly, and before she could react, he grabbed her waist, spun her around, and held her tightly in his arms.

"Ash..." Feeling the familiar embrace, Blue was taken aback for a moment, then snuggled up to Ash's chest happily, rubbing against him and enjoying the moment.

As she rubbed against him, she kept murmuring softly, the words of which were utterly tempting.

"It's been so long since we last saw each other... Sigh, no one cares about me or hugs me, I can't even sleep soundly at night~"

"Blue..." Ash's mind began to stir. The atmosphere had gotten this heated, and if he still didn't know what to do, he would be doing a disservice to his persona.
