Chapter 436 [Where]

After entering Po Town, Lillie and the others discovered that this place did have many similarities with Galar's Spike Town, with graffiti and paintings everywhere, as well as broken walls and ruins everywhere. However, unlike Spike Town, there was no breath of "life" here.

In addition, there are scattered tents in some open spaces. Not all people living here can live in houses. Many of those who come to seek refuge later can only temporarily settle in tents.

"They are just thugs who have taken over this place. They are certainly different from the natives of Spike Town."

Meiyue gave her own opinion. She had been to both places, but there was no doubt that the townspeople of Spike Town gave her a more humane feeling. The most important thing was that they loved the land under their feet. Their ancestors had lived there for who knows how long.

As for the Skeleton Team of Po Town, since they are just outsiders, the way they deal with the land under their feet will of course be different from that of the Shouting Team.

Although she had also heard from Yuri that the residents of Spike Town used to form a Shouting Team to interfere with other trainers in order to reduce Marie's competitors so that Marie could participate in the alliance battle smoothly, their behavior also caused a lot of trouble to the Galar Alliance.

Of course, Mary personally opposed this behavior. As for the other parts, Mary herself was also very helpless. After all, these people were all acquaintances from her hometown. She couldn't just call the police and have them arrested.

"Team Skull used to do bad things to disrupt the Alola Pilgrimage. The captains and island kings were almost annoyed by them. They weren't very powerful, but they were very troublesome to deal with."

"However, compared to Galar's Shouting Team, it's still easier to accept doing bad things for someone rather than just doing bad things."

Miyue smiled slightly. There were some things she could understand, but there were some things she couldn't understand. Although the things they did were similar, the feelings they brought were completely different.

"Is that easier to accept?"

Qiao Ran nodded, a smile appearing on her face. Although she usually liked to talk back to him when they were together, she was indeed very emotional.

Also, some trainers tend to follow the rules, but most people, such as Nancy and Phoebe, don't really care about the rules.

"It seems you have the potential to be a Dark-type trainer."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but make a joke, but Meiyue immediately denied it.

"I... can probably be considered half poison-type. If I have the chance in the future, it would be better to train more poison-type Pokémon."

Among the few people, Mitsuki's Pokémon preference is the most obvious one. As for the others, they tend to be like the type of Takenori. As long as it is a suitable Pokémon, no matter the attribute, it can be cultivated.

Both paths have their rationality, and the most important thing is actually the trainer's own choice.

"come in."

Bull Meili, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped in front of a villa. This was the largest building in the entire Po Town. There were many minions of the Skeleton Team standing at the door. I'm afraid this was their lair.

“…You don’t have to be so hostile to us.”

Bull Beauty turned around and sighed. She had heard bits and pieces of the conversation between Qiao Ran and Mei Yue. She didn't deny what the Skull Team had done in the past, but...

"Guzma actually disbanded the Skull Corps after what happened last time. We're only gathering now because of this disaster. Po Town is surrounded by walls, and the only way to get through is through the main gate, which is perfect for defending against attacks from Ultra Beasts."

As she spoke, she pointed to the skull symbol on her body, on which a large red cross had been drawn at some point.

Qiao Ran has seen this red cross in many places. Even the leader of the Skull Team, Guzma, has such a symbol on his body. Is this... the symbol of the disbandment of the Skull Team?

"Besides the former members of the Skeleton Team, many residents of Ula'ula Island live here. I don't know if you're aware, but a terrifying monster appeared in Malie City, so many residents there have been arriving recently, and our carrying capacity is almost at its limit."

Bull beautifully sighed

Their boss Guzma is a battle maniac who only knows how to fight and destroy, and knows nothing about management in this area, so these things are usually thrown to her to deal with, which gives her a headache.

"No need to talk anymore. Come on in first. If you have any questions, you can talk inside. Guzma should be in there too."

Bullmei shook her head and glanced at Qiao Ran meaningfully. This boy had left a deep impression on her before. He was able to suppress Guzma physically. At least, she had never seen this before in all the years she had been in the Skull Team.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qiao Ran opened his mouth gently and walked past her. Although they had done bad things in the past, everything they did now was still meaningful.

The others also followed Qiao Ran's footsteps and walked into the building. Following the direction pointed by the Skeleton Team members, they finally arrived at a huge hall.

The hall was very empty and there was nothing on it. When Qiao Ran saw this place for the first time, his first thought was, how many people can live here?

In the center of the hall, there was a huge throne. A white-haired man sat on the seat, tapping the armrests with his fingers.

Seeing Qiao Ran and others appear, he slowly stood up from his seat and looked at them.

"You guys are finally here."

There was a cruel and tyrannical smile on his face, and at this moment, he seemed to have become the leader of that gangster organization again.

"Let me guess... the purpose of your coming here should be..."

His gaze lingered on Liliae for a moment.

"For Lusamine, the chairman of the Aether Foundation, right?"

"where is she?"

When Qiao Ran heard this, he couldn't help but frown. This guy... could it be that he really knows something?

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be impatient."

As Guzma spoke, he took out his right hand from his pocket. In his right palm, he was holding a red and white Poké Ball.

"If you want information, let's use Pokémon battles to speak."

He roared loudly, and the smile on his face became more and more "sunny".

"I, Master Guzma, think about giving you a good beating every day, every day, every day!!"

Chapter 437 [Better than Me]

Guzma, a native of Alola.

When he was young, he studied under Hala, the king of Melemele Island, and belonged to the same school as Professor Kukui of Alola. However, after years of hard work, both of them could not become the captain of Alola, especially Guzma. Not only could he not become the captain, but he was always second in the competition with Kukui. Over time, the second place trophies and certificates have filled his home.

Unable to become the captain, Kukui sought another way out and began to explore other areas, becoming a Pokémon professor. After returning from his studies, he worked even harder to build his hometown. Not only did he win the heart of a beautiful woman, he also started the construction of the Pokémon League and became one of the founders of the Alola League.

Guzma, on the other hand, embarked on a completely different path. The hatred of not being able to become a captain accumulated in his heart. He gathered a large number of like-minded trainers who hated the Pilgrimage and Alola's traditions to form a rogue group called Team Skull. He became a rat crossing the street, thinking only of how to sabotage the Pilgrimage, fighting wits and courage with the captains every day, and causing all kinds of trouble.

Kukui and Guzma are actually both people with certain talents, but their completely different endings at this time are caused by their different choices and patterns.

Ever since he was killed by Mitsuki and defeated in front of so many of his men, Guzma realized this. From that day on, he disbanded the Skull Team and embarked on a journey of training alone.

However, things don't always go as planned. An unprecedented disaster struck Alola. Countless former members of the Skull Team found Guzma and begged the King of Destruction to come out. In the end, they returned to their former stronghold and became the backbone of the protection of human settlements.

"Day and night, every day, every night!! During that time, I trained every single day. How was I any worse than those captains? How was I any worse than Kukui? Why was I even beaten by a little girl? Why did I always come in second place?"

ancient

The frustration in Zima's heart burst out like a raging wave.

Being defeated by the little girl was a shame that Guzma would never be able to get over. He originally thought that he could suppress it, but when he saw Mitsuki again, this emotion burst out again and he couldn't suppress it.

"Don't you want to know about Chairman Lusamine? Then come and defeat me. Or you can come and beg me, and see if I will show you mercy and tell you."

"..."

Mitsuki remained silent and did not answer. She probably knew what the other party was thinking. No matter what kind of gangster Guzma was, he was first and foremost a Pokémon trainer.

To talk to the trainer, you have to use combat.

"Since you want to experience the feeling of losing again, I don't mind—"

Mitsuki was halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Guzma.

"No, you can come back later. This time, I'm going to take on a whole group at once! As for you, I'll leave it to the very end. Experience the despair of seeing all your friends being crushed one by one by me!!"

Originally, the only target of Guzma's resentment was Mitsuki, but just now, someone made him look bad in front of so many people again, and the person he wanted to defeat was no longer just Mitsuki.

His finger pointed directly in the direction of Qiao Ran.

"First, starting with you!"

Guzma, who had just returned from training, seemed to be overflowing with confidence. However, he himself did not notice that when he pointed his finger at Qiao Ran, everyone present seemed to have a strange expression on their face.

"I?"

Qiao Ran pointed at himself and confirmed with a bit of disbelief.

This guy...is there something wrong with his brain?

How come you pointed at me?

"You can send three people to compete with me in a one-on-one match. If you win twice, I will tell you about Lusamine."

Guzma folded his hands over his chest and held his head high.

"The premise is that you can win first! Hahahahahaha!"

"Hey."

Qiao Ran sighed. The other party had made up his mind and he had no other choice. Even if he had to beat him up and extract information from him, he still had to fight him. In the final analysis, it was a battle anyway.

Fight, then fight.

Qiao Ran walked up to the opposite side of Guzma. It was not until now that he realized that the huge space of this room was not for any other purpose - it was specially designed for Pokémon battles.

Guzma had probably been thinking about this from the very beginning.

When passing by Mitsuki, Mitsuki also whispered something.

"Qiao Ran, hurry up."

This guy really didn't take Guzma seriously and was still looking for a quick victory. But like her, the others present didn't seem to take him seriously either.

"okay."

Qiao Ran responded. They were indeed in a hurry and had no time to fight slowly. Moreover, since the opponent was not a "senior" who could talk to him calmly, to deal with such a gangster-like person, they had to use their strongest strength to defeat him.

"Good, good, very good. How dare you stand across from me like this!"

As Guzma spoke, he threw the Poké Ball in his hand.

A Pokémon with a red steel shell and two large pincers in its hands appeared in the center of the field.
