Chapter 943
"Alola, Dr. Kukui!"
Today, Xiaozhi is finally ready to start his first island tour in his life - the great test of Melemele Island!
The island tour is a traditional ritual unique to the Alola region. It replaces the previous challenge gym mode in various regions. For Xiaozhi, this is undoubtedly a brand new challenge.
In this tropical Alola region, once children reach the age of 11, they are eligible to embark on the journey of challenging the island tour. They will tour the entire Alola region and break through the tests set by the four islands one by one.
These tests are not simple. They cover various forms, including fierce battles with Pokémon, and may also involve searching for key props, competing in wisdom, etc. Every challenge is full of uncertainty and surprises.
After completing those tests, what awaits the challengers is to challenge the dominant Pokémon. These dominant Pokémon have powerful strength, and only by defeating them can they gain real recognition.
The last test is the great test of Pokémon battles with the island king or island queen who governs the island. The King and Queen of the Island are on their respective islands. They are all chosen by the four guardian gods of Tapu and Kokoro, and have extremely high status and prestige.
If you break through this big test, it means that you have officially completed all the tests on the island and can be regarded as one of the top trainers in the area.
The King of the Island on Melomele Island is an old man named Hara, who is a respected senior.
Since Xiaozhi is ready to start the island tour, Dr. Kukui said that he can take Xiaozhi to meet Mr. Hara, so the two agreed to go together today.
Starting from Dr. Kukui's Institute, Xiaozhi and his friends went north along Route 1, aiming to go to the town of Lili. According to Dr. Kukui, Mr. Hara, the King of the Island, lives there.
After leaving the bustling Haoole City, they entered a quiet rural area. There are large tracts of farmland here, with a large number of phoenix fruits planted.
However, when they just arrived at this place, there was a sudden commotion in front. Xiaozhi and Dr. Kukui walked forward curiously to check the situation.
A group of people gathered together, and it seemed that something had happened. Miss Junsha also rushed to the scene. She announced to everyone with a loudspeaker: "Please pay attention. This road is closed before the wood is cleared. Please cooperate and take a detour!"
Different from the Junsha that Xiaozhi knew before, Miss Junsha in the Alola region showed a different kind of gentleness. The way she held the loudspeaker was very cute.
After all, the land and water nurture the people!
The two walked up and understood that it turned out that the farmers here were transporting wood with Kentaro carts. For some reason, they were suddenly disturbed, causing the cart to overturn and the wood on the cart to fall down, just blocking the intersection.
"What happened, Miss Junsha?"
Seeing the two people coming, Miss Junsha hurriedly bowed respectfully, and then told them the situation in detail: "It was a group of wild Rattata and Rattata that destroyed the farm fields. They rushed onto the road in panic when they escaped, which caused the current situation!"
Just as Xiaozhi was about to step forward to help, suddenly, a tall, strong, white-haired old man appeared in front of him. The old man looked over 70 years old, but his body was still full of strength and vitality. He was followed by a Super King!
The old man effortlessly carried thick wood and placed it steadily on the Kentaro. Each of these woods was very heavy, and ordinary people needed a lot of effort to lift them, but the old man seemed to do it easily.
Seeing this scene, Xiaozhi couldn't help but smile: "Old man, you don't need to be so troublesome!"
After that, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and he began to use his superpowers. As he controlled it, all the wood seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, slowly rising, and then neatly falling on the Kentaro.
Even the wood on the old man's shoulder was no exception and was moved to the car.
The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, without any pause or lag. All this was seen by Grandpa Hara on the side, but he did not show the slightest surprise. On the contrary, he raised his head and his eyes happened to meet Xiaozhi's.
"Is this a superpower? It's really convenient!" Grandpa Hara said with a smile, revealing a hint of appreciation in his tone.
Dr. Kukui hurried forward and introduced to Xiaozhi:"Xiaozhi, this is Mr. Hara, the king of the island!"
Xiaozhi immediately introduced himself, "Hello Mr. Hara, my name is Xiaozhi, I am from Pallet Town, please teach me!"
At this time, Miss Junsha also came over. She first saluted Xiaozhi and the others, and then sincerely expressed her gratitude: "Thank you very much for your help!"
Xiaozhi smiled and waved his hands, indicating that it was just a small effort. Then, Miss Junsha left.
"Xiaozhi, I heard Kukui mention you! Especially you have a Z bracelet and Z moves that I have never seen before!" Grandpa Hara smiled at Xiaozhi and said, "If I am not mistaken, you are here for a big test, right? Then follow me!"
Seeing this, Xiaozhi and the others quickly followed Grandpa Hara's footsteps and came to Grandpa Hara's home.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiaozhi was shocked by the scene in front of him. Grandpa Hara's home was full of various Z bracelets, which were obviously made by him.
Grandpa Hara warmly invited Xiaozhi and the others to sit down, then looked at Xiaozhi seriously and said, "Xiaozhi, you should have heard about what happened just now, right? The residents of the island have been troubled by wild Rattata and Rattata recently. They always cause trouble and bring a lot of trouble to everyone. So, I want to ask you what solution you have for this?"
Then he added, "However, fighting must be excluded. After all, the concept of island pilgrimage appeared in the Alola region a long time ago. This is not just to cultivate the combat ability of trainers and Pokémon, but a deeper level!"
"That is to cultivate young people who love Alola Island, Pokémon, humans and everything, and can protect them."
From these words, it can be seen that the test has begun, and the answer to the question has a prerequisite. It needs to be answered after careful consideration, and it cannot be rash! This is one of the tests, wisdom questions and answers!
The Rattata and Rattata in the Alola region are different from those Xiaozhi saw in the Kanto region. They are Alola forms of Rattata and Rattata, and their attributes have become evil and normal!
It is not difficult to solve this problem. You just need to find their natural enemies and drive them away!
Dr. Kukui crossed his arms and smiled and said, "Come to think of it, Mr. Hara has asked me similar complicated questions in the past!"
Xiaozhi did not rush to give the answer, but raised his eyebrows, looked at Dr. Kukui, and asked curiously, "Dr. Kukui, have you participated in the island tour before?"
Dr. Kukui nodded and admitted frankly, "Yes, I have participated in the island tour before!"
Xiaozhi nodded, then looked at Mr. Hara and grinned, "This question is very simple. If the Rattata in Alola is really so troublesome, it will not come out to destroy it now! So I guess they must have natural enemies, let the natural enemies drive them away!"
"Rotom, call up the information of Alola Rattata!"
