Chapter 305:
"...It seems it really was just a sparring match between them."
Tapu Koko’s departure didn’t embarrass Dr Kukui.
On the contrary, the heavy stone in his heart finally eased at this mont.
Clearly, during the battle just now, Tapu Koko was clearly outmatched, yet now it was completely unhard.
This indicated that the other party had likely healed Tapu Koko’s injuries.
They hadn’t tried to capture it or had any other ulterior motives; this was the best possible outco.
It’s just...
"This Trainer probably isn’t from the Alola region..."
He began to focus on Hayashi Kaede’s identity.
He knew most of Alola’s powerful Trainers, if not all of them.
But now, this Trainer was so young, yet accompanied by such a powerful Pokémon...
"I wonder which league’s that Trainer is from." Dr. Burnet nodded in agreent beside him.
Then, the group exchanged glances, feeling sowhat helpless again.
Although the Alola region had its unique cultural heritage and distinctive Island Challenge tradition,
it hadn’t yet established a Pokémon League and remained semi-disconnected from other leagues.
So, trying to get information about this Trainer from other leagues would be very difficult.
"It seems establishing the Alola League needs to be put on the agenda..."
....
After leaving Tapu Koko, Hayashi Kaede, carried by Dragonite, returned to the street in front of the Pokémon School.
[Congratulations, Host. Tapu Koko’s happiness value has increased from 10 to 40. Reward: 1 Premium Rare Candy, 3 bags of Premium-Grade Fertilizer, 1 Electrium Z.]
Hearing the system notification and sensing Tapu Koko still following behind,
Hayashi Kaede shook his head.
He understood why Tapu Koko was still following.
After all, wtwo was so powerful and on its turf; it wasn’t wrong for it to keep an eye out.
However, the reward for pleasing Tapu Koko was just an Electrium Z?
That was a bit underwhelming.
There was no doubt that Z-Moves were powerful.
But...
He was just a plantation owner!
Moreover, he didn’t even have a pure Electric-type Pokémon yet.
"Better find a place to stay first." Muttering to himself, Hayashi Kaede started looking around the streets.
But he soon discovered a problem.
Because the Alola region hadn’t established a league yet, the currency here wasn’t fully interchangeable with the Eastova League’s.
He needed to go to a specific place to exchange it.
"No money..."
Hayashi Kaede hadn’t expected his first long trip to be stumped by a lack of funds.
"..."
wtwo beside him also fell silent.
Today’s battle had been very satisfying.
But who would have thought that after the battle, they wouldn’t even have a place to sleep.
"Forget it, forget it. Let’s just find a random spot to set up a tent for the night."
Looking at the lights coming on around him, Hayashi Kaede shook his head.
He was only here for one night.
No need to make a special trip just to exchange currency.
Besides, the Alola climate was pleasant; it wouldn’t get cold at night.
"What do you think?" Hayashi Kaede looked at wtwo.
wtwo shrugged, indicating it didn’t care.
Thinking about how sastified wtwo had been during the battle, Hayashi Kaede said, "You know, there are actually three other Pokémon like Tapu Koko here."
"Hm?"
wtwo beca interested. "Three more?"
Hayashi Kaede nodded. "Yes, each has its own unique ability, on different islands. Like Tapu Bulu..."
Before Hayashi Kaede could finish, wtwo grew excited.
"I want to go et them..."
"Uh... Then at least let tell you about them..."
"Not necessary!"
wtwo turned into a streak of light and vanished on the spot.
"..."
"Don’t go too far!" Hayashi Kaede shouted after it.
The starry sky was bright, and only a faint "Okay." drifted back.
This left Hayashi Kaede wondering whether telling wtwo about the four Tapu deities was a good or bad idea.
But wtwo had much better judgnt now than before.
Probably nothing would happen.
Shaking his head, Hayashi Kaede stopped thinking about wtwo and focused on finding a secluded spot to solve dinner first.
But the mont he snapped back to reality, he froze.
Because his loud shout just now seed to have drawn the attention of everyone around.
"Alola, what’s this guy doing? Shouting at the sky?"
"Alola..."
"Uh..."
Hayashi Kaede’s expression stiffened, and even he couldn’t help but look embarrassed.
Then he quickly ran towards the far end of the street.
Only after putting distance between himself and that section of the street did he finally relax.
"Phew..."
Just as he relaxed, Tapu Koko, which had been following him, flew in front of him again.
"Tapu Koko..." (Where did it go?)
Tapu Koko asked curiously.
"...It probably went to challenge your companions to battles." Hayashi Kaede knew it was asking about wtwo.
"Tapu Koko?" (Battles...)
Tapu Koko fell into thought, then waved its hands as if it also wanted to go.
Hayashi Kaede quickly stopped it. "Wait!"
"Tapu Koko?"
"You’re not going to gang up on it four against one, are you?" Hayashi Kaede asked worriedly.
Although wtwo was strong, Hayashi Kaede thought a four-on-one would be really tough.
"Tapu Koko..." Tapu Koko gave Hayashi Kaede a strange look and shook its head. "Tapu Koko." (One of them has a very strange temper. I need to go check, otherwise it might cause trouble.)
It wasn’t a sore loser...
"So you’re going to stop them from causing too much trouble, right?"
"Tapu Koko!" Tapu Koko nodded.
"That’s good... that’s good." Hayashi Kaede breathed a sigh of relief.
He had so idea about the Pokémon Tapu Koko referred to as having a strange temper.
That would be Tapu Lele.
Innocent and whimsical, but also with a cruel side.
Was Tapu Koko mainly worried Tapu Lele and wtwo might truly clash?
Now that another Guardian Deity was going to diate, there naturally shouldn’t be any problems.
Shaking his head, Hayashi Kaede was about to find a place to eat and sleep when he looked up and saw a restaurant called ’Aina’s Kitchen’ in front of him.
The person just coming out was Mallow, whom he had t that afternoon.
