Pokémon: A Roundup of Ash's Eight Masters' Peak Battles!

"Pickup!"

"That's really exhilarating! I'm so happy to battle Ash with you!"

"Me too!"

"Then I'm going!"

Professor Kukui excitedly took out a Poké Ball and threw it into the air.

however.

But an unexpected event occurred.

The Poké Ball, which was about to open in mid-air, was suddenly knocked away by a figure.

Poké Ball: ? ? ?

The moment I saw the figure appear.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

I do not know how long it has been.

The once quiet venue erupted into thunderous shouts.

"Tap-po! It's Tapu-po!"

"The island's guardian spirit has appeared. Is it here to stop this battle?!"

"What should we do? Should we continue?"

How is this going?

Tapu Koko's sudden appearance and the scene of it knocking the Poké Ball out of Professor Kukui's hand were just too bizarre.

They were also unsure what this island guardian was up to.

[Dr. Kukui: So that's how Tapu Koko came to be. I was wondering when I caught Tapu Koko; it seems I was overthinking it.]

[Dr. Barnett: Darling, even though you're a royal masked man, you shouldn't even think about something as magical as subduing an island's guardian spirit.]

[Kachi: So cool! Is the island guardian trying to stop this battle from continuing?]

[Lan: Are you an idiot?! Didn't you see the livestream say from the beginning that Tapu Koko was there to participate in the battle, and that he was representing Professor Kukui?!]

[Hao: Oh right, I was so nervous I didn't remember.]

[Kamidai: Why is their entrance so high-class?! It feels like they're even more impressive than my pillars!]

[Serena: This god seems really strong! Much stronger than Ash's Melmetal!]

[Cynthia: It is a true god with divine authority! Ash's Melmetal can only be described as a god, not a deity.]

Professor Oak: Gods are also ranked in terms of strength. The highest-ranking gods possess authority, followed by those with divine offices, and finally, ordinary mythical beast gods like Melmeta.

After an explanation from Cynthia and Professor Oak.

Viewers who watched the live stream also gained some understanding of God.

That is to say.

Ash is about to face a god who has divine authority.

Is Ash really able to beat him?

They originally thought Ash would definitely lose.

They hoped that even if Ash lost, he would have a happy ending.

Ash left a very deep impression on them during this special review.

Both psychological qualities and tactical compatibility.

Ash definitely deserves the title of champion.

If Ash could defeat a god who possesses divine authority.

Ash's strength is among the top of the champions!

...

Chapter 55 Terrifying Strength! This is the Island Guardian!

How will the final battle unfold?

The audience is eagerly awaiting it!

Tapu Kombu remained silent.

It quietly watched Dr. Kukui below.

Tapu Koko has some connection with Dr. Kukui.

Their eyes met.

Dr. Kukui also understood the other party's intentions.

"You want me to become your trainer again so we can have this final battle, right?"

"..."

Tapu Koko didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

Those eyes revealed a thirst for battle.

"it is good!"

A single "okay" summed up the matter.

In other words.

Dr. Kukui's last Pokémon was Tapu Koko, the island guardian of Melemele Island!

After seeing that his opponent was Tapu Koko.

Xiao Zhi showed absolutely no fear.

Instead, their enthusiasm grew even stronger.

"Tapuk, do you want to battle me?!"

Ash looked excited, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

Tapu Koko simply nodded.

"Tapu~"

This is the strongest opponent Alola faced in her final battle.

"Professor Kukui's last Pokémon is Tapu Koko! The match continues!"

……

As the host introduced...

Only then did the audience notice Tapu Koko's appearance.

Tapu Koko has a black body; orange hair and legs; and each hand has half a shell, which is patterned. When the shells are closed, they resemble a golden bird's head.

Its entire body looks somewhat like a totem of a primitive tribe.

No, Tapu Koko is an Alola totem.

Words like mysterious and solemn are insufficient to describe the sacredness of Kapuminori.

It was a quality that transcended everything.

When Tapu Koko arrived at the battlefield.

The entire stadium erupted in a deafening roar!

Their generation had never seen the island's guardian deity personally participate in a battle.

They can be spectators here for once.

That's already a great honor!

"Tapu~"

As usual.

After entering the arena, Tapu Koko habitually greeted Ash.

"Long time no see, Tapu Koko."

Xiao Zhi was a little shy.

This island guardian deity was also Ash's mentor in Alola.

It can be said that Ash's first Z Crystal was a gift from Tapu Koko.

Tapu Koko is both a teacher and a friend to Ash.

I never expected that my opponent in my final battle in Alola would be Tapu Koko.

at this point

Aside from Tapu Kompa, almost no one expected it.
