You're the only one who knows how to battle Pokémon?

"For example, move the statue to a designated location so that the door will open."

Dr. Kukui urged anxiously, "Ah! Don't touch that! If you move it, it will trigger the mechanism."

Through the information shared by Dr. Barnett, he already knew the mechanism here.

Because the Ether Foundation had conducted surveys and observations here before.

Ji Bei also chuckled: "If Liliae were here, she would probably have the same reaction as you."

"The theme of the test here is 'Don't be too smart'!"

"After all, it's hard for me to stop thinking like you."

"At the end of the day, physical attacks are ineffective against me."

Nangong Ye retorted dissatisfiedly, then deliberately moved the stone statue. Sharp iron spikes emerged from the ground under her feet, as if they wanted to pierce her.

Under Dr. Kukui's anxious gaze, the girl was unharmed. She transformed herself into a spirit in an instant and became completely immune to the attack of the spikes.

"This is a general attack, ineffective against ghost-type humans." Ji Bei was already used to it, and patted Dr. Kukui on the shoulder, signaling him not to be too surprised.

"It just looks weird."

"How rude of you to say that to a girl of the same age." Nangong Ye was slightly dissatisfied. He walked out from the spikes and regained his physical form.

They continued to move forward, relying on Nangong Ye's "instant teleportation" to cross a cliff a thousand meters high, and then came to a valley.

There are a large number of Heart Scale Treasures and many Scale Armored Dragons living here.

"There are so many of them. This is very rare in the Alola region!" Dr. Kukui exclaimed.

Even he had never seen so many "late blooming Pokémon" at once.

What is worth noting is that the leader of these Pokémon is a "Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon", and its size is much larger than that of ordinary Pokémon of the same kind.

"It's the dominant Pokémon!" Dr. Kukui came to the conclusion immediately.

Chapter 33: VS Overlord Staff-tailed Scaled Armored Dragon

As the name suggests, the overlord Pokémon is the overlord among its own kind.

They have greater strength, larger size, and a dominant aura with various buffs.

In Alola, the dominant Pokémon will conduct various tests on the humans they meet, and as long as they pass, they can obtain Z-pure crystals.

At the moment, Ji Bei obviously does not have the leisure time to conduct the test.

His ideas are also very simple.

"Dr. Kukui! Hurry up and use your invincible Blazing Roaring Tiger to think of a solution!"

In response, Professor Kukui simply waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I'm too old to go on a pilgrimage to the islands. It's against the rules to fight a dominant Pokémon."

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

God, I'm too old! How can Alola's traditions be so inconvenient!

Helplessly, Ji Bei had to fight on his own, which at least saved time than talking all the time.

"New Leaf Meow, you deal with the Overlord!"

"Arcane, Curly, Eevee, stop Scaleborg and Scutum!"

NeoLeaf immediately prepared for battle and evolved into Magical Masked Meowth, while the other three Pokémon immediately took up their respective responsibilities and drove away the Pokémon that were gathered here.

"Roar!" The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon roared, with a faint aura revealed on its body.

"Be careful, this Pokémon's dominance aura increases all abilities by one level!"

Relying on research instruments, Dr. Kukui easily measured the specific effects of its dominant aura and reminded Ji Bei.

The quasi-gods who could evolve to the third stage were already extremely powerful, and became even more difficult to deal with after all their abilities were upgraded by one level.

However, Ji Bei was not panicked at all.

If it's Dragonite, Dragonite or the quasi-gods from other places, it's really hard to deal with them.

But one thing was proven during the previous battle with Watari: this Dragon + Fighting Pokémon is four times weaker than a Fairy-type Gossamer!

"Roar!" The scales of the Staff-tailed Armored Dragon rubbed against each other, making a sharp and piercing sound, and attacked the Magic Masked Cat.

"It's the noise of scales. Be careful. This is the exclusive skill of the Armored Dragon!" Dr. Kukui has completely turned into an OB, enjoying watching the fun.

Ji Bei felt that he was totally wrong to regard him as a reliable adult!

"I know!"

Of course he knew the effect of this skill. It had dragon attributes, a power of 110, and its defense would drop by one level after use.

However, the dragon's roar has no effect on the mysterious and ethereal goblins!

At the same time, the goblin's sword will pierce through the dragon's scales!

"Magical Mask-nyan! Frolic!"

"Meow!"

The moment Magic Masked Cat used this skill, its attributes changed to that of a fairy, and it easily became immune to the attack of Scale Noise. It wandered around the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon with a playful pace, giving it two slaps from time to time!

This move was extremely effective. After all, it was a four-fold restraint. The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon soon let out a wail, obviously having suffered great damage.

It is worthy of being the dominant Pokémon. At least it knows the general meaning of "Changeable" and did not continue to use its own skills to attack. Instead, it used "Iron Head" to continue charging at Magical Masked Cat.

"Kick from the lower body!" Ji Bei responded immediately.

This is a fighting skill. Its power is not very high, but it can effectively reduce the opponent's speed. Combined with the speed advantage of Magic Masked Cat itself, according to the canyon theory of relativity, your slowing down and my speeding up is equivalent to hard control.

This is a win.

As expected, when the two Pokémon were fighting, Magical Masked Cat used an insidious sweeping kick, which directly broke the balance of Scaled Dragon, causing its huge body to fall to the ground.

"Play around!" Ji Bei gave the order to finish off the enemy in time.

This time, even though it was a dominant Pokémon, even though it possessed a dominant aura with all its abilities enhanced, it could not withstand the continuous bombardment of four times the restraining skills.

The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon lost its ability to fight, and a dark blue Z-purity fell out of its body, which was Dragon Z.

"The setting of dropping Z-pure crystals when defeating the Overlord is quite clear. This can even drop!" Ji Bei complained to himself and picked up the Z-pure crystal.

Although he doesn't have any dragon-attribute Pokémon now, he will definitely have a chance to capture one in the future.

After this long journey, he deeply realized that running on the ground could not replace flying in the air, and he might need a flying dragon Pokémon.

To be more precise, Ji Bei needs a means of transportation.

"Pa pa pa!" Dr. Kukui came over and clapped his hands, saying, "We often fight, and the instructions are given just right."

"I just checked the video. No wonder you were able to beat Du. Although you used new recruits, if you used the main force, the result would probably be the same, right?"

Ji Bei sighed helplessly, while Nangong Ye tried hard to suppress his smile.

God damn main force, why don’t I know I have a main force?

"Hurry up and get going. After passing this valley, the Sun Altar is just ahead!"

He gave up explaining and prepared to move on.

The most urgent task is to find Lusamine.

However, after the battle just now, the valley here was obviously very unstable. When Ji Bei approached the exit, a landslide occurred above, making a huge roar.

The three of them looked up and were all stunned.

The fall of such a huge rock really stimulated their hearts.

There is no doubt that if you don't dodge, you will be crushed into a meat patty.

"Is this true?" Ji Bei had never thought that such a thing would happen. He was at a loss for a moment and could only look at Nangong Ye.

However, as everyone knows, teleportation is not within the realm of psychic power. Even if she can barely use this move, it still takes time to prepare.

"Not good!" Professor Kukui took out the Poké Ball, ready to attack without reservation to protect the safety of his students.

However, at this moment, a golden ball of light and a black spiral wave came, blasting the falling rocks from above into pieces, and they did not hit Ji Bei at all.

At this moment, Nangong Ye completed the positioning and teleported the three people to the Sun Altar in front.

(When Nangong Ye is teleporting, Ji Bei will use the Poké Ball to retrieve the Pokémon, and the one on "shift" that day will jump directly onto his shoulder.)

(Because Arcanine has evolved, now only Eevee and Meowth are fighting for Jibei's shoulder.)

"It was the electric ball and the evil wave just now. I really saved my life." She said after the transmission was completed.

It refers to Ji Bei and Kukui. After all, Nangong Ye can completely transform into a spirit at the critical moment and be immune to physical attacks.

"It's Xiaozhi and Gladion, and maybe others are here too." Ji Bei quickly came to the conclusion.

After all, there are not many people who can use these two skills to such great power, and these two are the only ones among his friends.

Chapter 34: The Five Island Gods

Ji Bei turned around and, as expected, saw Xiaozhi and his group running hurriedly outside the collapsed valley.

Including Suiren, Mao, Mamane, Kachi, Liliae and Gladion, there is really a lot of them.

"Ah! Found it! Where are they!" Mao said, pointing at Ji Bei.

Because of Nangong Ye's instant movement, they just lost their target.

"Fortunately we made it in time!" Xiaozhi also showed a satisfied look.

He couldn't help feeling a little helpless. It was just as Professor Kukui said. Even if he acted alone, everyone in the Pokémon School would definitely catch up with him.

Looking back, I was too anxious at the beginning and didn’t consider how long the journey would take. It was already evening when I arrived, so I had to make up for it overnight.

This period of time is enough for everyone to catch up.

Think about it carefully. Dr. Kukui and Dr. Barnett have basically exchanged the information they have. He knows that this place can allow the small nebula to evolve. At least the Tai Foundation has surveyed it many times. How could there not even be a smooth path?

In conclusion, his impulsive and solo actions were completely meaningless.

It seemed that Professor Kukui had anticipated this, so he just followed him without stopping him, quietly waiting for the rest of the students to catch up.

"So, how about trusting your companions more? No matter what difficulties we encounter in Alola, we can work together to find a solution." He smiled heartyly and patted Ji Bei on the shoulder.

"But before that, it seems you have to figure out how to get through this difficult time!"

At this point, Kukui's smile turned into a gloating one. Ji Bei turned around and saw Liliae and Gladion walking towards him with angry faces.

It was the first time he saw Liliae so angry. It was completely different from her previous quarrels with her mother at home. It was obvious that she was really angry.

"Why did you act on your own without saying anything? Didn't you always say you cared about what I thought?"

"Mother is our 'Mother'. If we need to save her, it is our first responsibility. Besides, she was abducted to protect us."

"Are you the only one who knows that going to the Ultimate Cave is dangerous? We are also prepared to take the risk."

"Uh..." Ji Bei was speechless.

Logically speaking, what Liliae said was absolutely right. He was not Lusamine's family, he was just a guest. If he really wanted to help, he should just help.

Taking all the responsibility on myself is somewhat like taking away the main responsibility.

"You are too self-willed, Ji Bei!" Gladion accused him bluntly, seeming to be gloating.

In fact, it was the first time for him to see his sister going to war and ask for an explanation, so it was somewhat new to him.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Ji Bei lowered his head to admit his mistake and gave up quibbling.

"That's good, but don't do this again next time!" Seeing him apologize, Liliae didn't pursue the matter further and returned to her usual gentle and lovely appearance.

"We are already a family. It is our common responsibility that our mother was captured." Gladion stopped holding on and looked at Ji Bei and said.

This made Ji Bei quite moved. Although he knew that Gladion had always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside, he did not expect to receive such high recognition.

However, Gladion had simpler ideas.

As long as Ji Bei and Liliae really get married, they will be a family in the literal sense, without any exaggeration.
