Chapter 425 [In-depth]

There are four islands in Alola.

Mitsuki's home is on Melemele Island, an island with the largest city in Alola and home to Alola's most famous Pokémon researcher.

"But, this island... doesn't look like Melemele Island at all."

Each island in Alola has its own characteristics, but people who are not familiar with these characteristics will definitely not be able to judge them.

For example, the beaches on Melemele Island will definitely not be left unused. It can even be said that Haole City, the largest city on Melemele Island, was developed based on its extremely beautiful beaches.

"As for this place..."

Not long after walking into the forest beside the beach, Meiyue, Qiao Ran and their group saw two extremely huge mountain ranges in the distance. The mountain ranges were a strange black color, but one of the higher peaks was covered with white ice and snow.

"Ula'la Island."

Seeing such a scenery, the answer almost came out of her mouth, and Miyue directly said the name of the island.

Qiao Ran also reacted.

He also had a certain impression of the island.

——This was not because he was very familiar with Alola, but simply because of that tall snow-capped mountain. He still remembered that when the Alola Pokémon League was established, it was located on the highest peak, symbolizing the pinnacle of trainers.

"and many more."

Suddenly, just as everyone was observing the

When they reached the high mountains above, the bushes beside the forest suddenly shook.

"careful!"

Qiao Ran's wave power had already captured the other party's presence. In just a moment, everyone became alert.

A huge sword of energy flew out from the bushes, directly splitting all the nearby plants in half, and flew quickly towards Qiao Ran and his group.

“Di…!”

Diancie charged forward, blocking the opponent's attack with the indestructible diamond, causing a sharp collision sound. Not only that, the attack even left a visible gap in the shield Diancie had constructed, which had never appeared before.

"Such a strong attack power..."

Mitsuki, Mei, and the others all knew how terrifying Diancie's defense was in this state, but the opponent's attack still almost broke Diancie's defense.

"Shh-"

A light breeze blew by, and everyone realized that the one who launched the attack was actually a tiny creature only about thirty centimeters in size. Its body was like a piece of paper, and its shape was like an ordinary origami toy. However, judging from the attack it just launched, this thing seemed far from being as simple as it looked.

"Paper Sword."

"UB4: Slash!"

Qiao Ran and Lillie called out each other's names at the same time. Like Xuwuid, this was not a local Pokémon, but a terrifying "Ultimate Beast".

"Everyone, be careful. It's a Steel and Grass type. It has strong speed and attack, but its special defense is very, very weak. It can still be dealt with."

Qiao Ran made a calm judgment. Although this time was different from the previous times and there were several trainers working together with him, Qiao Ran was still able to give commands very efficiently based on the information exchange protocol in their minds.

"What? It's a Steel-type Pokémon?"

Mitsuki couldn't help but frown when she heard this, most of her Pokémon were poison-type, and this steel-type that was immune to poison was simply her lifelong enemy.

As for Mei and Lillie, after hearing this, they also made their own judgments and sent out Pokémon with relatively advantages.

As for Qiao Ran, it would be even easier.

"Reshiram! Cang Xiang! Silver Companion War Beast!"

The fire-type Reshiram has a terrifying four-fold restraint on the Paper Sword, and Cang Xiang can still use fighting skills to cause huge damage to the opponent. The most important thing is that the opponent also has a sharp "sword". When he saw the sword light before, Cang Xiang was already eager to try.

Qiao Ran also took out a brand new fire disc and inserted it into the Silver Companion next to him. The attributes of the Silver Companion can be adjusted at will according to the battle. This feature is like a BUG for Qiao Ran, who is familiar with the attributes of all Pokémon.

"Jet flames! Holy sword! Multi-attribute attack!"

The three Pokémon were filled with terrible energy and attacked Paper Sword together. Paper Sword probably never thought that it would encounter such a situation just by jumping out of the bushes.

What on earth is this? What on earth is this???

An explosion sounded, and Zhi Yujian was directly knocked away, without even being able to make a move to resist.

Latias on the side was not idle either. He teleported over and shot another ball at Zhi Yujian.

This strange beast looks much better than the previous mosquito, and the owner will definitely like it.

"..."

The aftermath of the battle shook the entire forest. Attracted by the noise, a large number of paper swords once again emerged from the nearby bushes and rushed towards Qiao Ran and the others.

If Qiao Ran was alone, it would probably be a bit difficult to deal with so many strange beasts at once, but now he is not alone.

With four people each responsible for one direction, there won't be too many blind spots in this battle. Even if Lillie's side is a little weaker, the two seniors, Mei and Mitsuki, can quickly make up for it.

After a series of clanging sounds, the battle was finally declared over. Twenty or thirty paper swords fell to the ground, and the surrounding forest was almost completely destroyed by the attack.

"It seems... not that difficult?"

Mei wiped the sweat from her head and smiled. This kind of outdoor battle... even involving the trainer in the battle, seemed quite interesting.

"No, to see whether it's difficult or not, you have to see how many people we have now."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but complain.

In addition to him, there are two future league champions, plus a young lady with a promising future. Not calling Yuli along has made things easier for this group of paper swordsmen.

The speed at which these two people were improving was nothing short of monstrous. It wouldn't be long before they reached the level of a Heavenly King. As for Yuri of Galar, as the woman who would one day defeat the strongest champion, Dandi, she was a monster among monsters.

“…Look over there!”

After defeating a group of paper swordsmen, Qiao Ran and his group continued to move towards the interior of the island. Soon, they found a huge, all-white building.

This architectural style seems almost out of place on the island of Alola, but Qiao Ran and others are already very familiar with this style.

“The Aether Foundation…!”

Chapter 426 [House of Ether]

As a large organization capable of building artificial islands in Alola, the Aether Foundation has branches on most of Alola's islands. These all-white, technologically advanced buildings are the "Aether Houses" of the Aether Foundation.

Even after Lusamine fell into madness and her temperament changed drastically, these Aether Houses continued to fulfill their original duties, helping Pokémon in need and adopting many homeless children. This is also the external side of the Aether Foundation - a charitable organization that helps the weak and protects the environment.

This, of course, was also Moon and Lusamine's original vision.

"We have to go there and take a look."

Lillie offered her own thoughts. She knew her mother was a very organized person. If she left the Aether Foundation and went to Alola, then she would most likely have ended up in a place like this.

No matter what danger she encountered and was forced to find a way to leave, or whether she thought of a way to remove the barrier and left on her own initiative, it was impossible for her to wander around on the sea like them.

Lillie believed very much in her mother's abilities, but Lusamine was indeed someone whose abilities were worthy of trust. Among the hundreds of millions of people in a region, there might only be one such person.

"...There are too few Pokémon on the road, and there might be something else hidden here."

Looking at the building in front of him, which looked quite intact, Qiao Ran frowned.

He also planned to go over and take a look, but he still had to be careful.

After possessing the power of wave guidance, Qiao Ran could clearly sense hidden life forms. Along the way, he also felt the presence of some Pokémon sporadically. However, compared to those monsters that actively attacked them, the Pokémon seemed to be hiding and had no intention of showing up. If he didn't have wave guidance, he would definitely not be able to sense these things.

These are the changes brought about by the appearance of strange beasts, and the Ether House of the Ether Foundation is probably not immune.

"Everyone, please be careful. We are approaching little by little."

In order to prevent the door from opening suddenly and killing them, Qiao Ran did not move forward rashly. Lillie and the others who had experienced battles along the way also nodded. They had long understood that the purpose of these beasts from the beginning was to kill them. This was also the way the Ultra Beasts got along with humans in their world. In that world, there was no harmonious coexistence like that between humans and Pokémon, but an endless war between the two sides.

Diancie, who had the strongest defense, once again stood at the front. As the distance got closer, what Qiao Ran felt with the power of the wave became more and more obvious.

"..."

He sensed the breath of life, and this breath...

"Wait, this doesn't feel like a Pokémon, nor does it feel like an exotic beast."

Qiao Ran felt the outlines of many humans, and under the detection of the wave power, their emotions also suddenly entered his mind.

He saw the flowers between despair and hope, and this emotion made him think of the refugees who fled to Spike Town in Galar.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Suddenly, a biting chill gathered around Qiao Ran, and a strange laugh came from his shadow. Although all this happened very quickly, in front of the extremely vigilant Qiao Ran and Meiyi, it took only a moment for countless Pokémon to attack at the same time, pointing directly at the black gas that was coming out from behind Qiao Ran.

The Pokémon formed a circle and surrounded Gengar in the middle.

"..."

The terrifying laughter disappeared instantly as if it was stuck. Surrounded by so many Pokémon, the opponent simply gave up struggling and ran out from the shadows trembling.

It was a Gengar with a purple body, red eyes, and a laughing mouth. However, it was like a frosted eggplant, stared at by Pokémon like Yveltal and so on, and it dared not move at all.

What the hell is wrong with these guys? Why are they so alert???

Gengar was like he had seen a ghost.
