Chapter 796 Earth Defense Force, move out!
Hao Aole City, scenic beach.
Three masked members of the Skull Team stood on the beach at low tide, surrounding a blond boy.
Next to the blond boy stood a dark silver beast, wearing combat armor, with a heavy mask on its head, and a deep gaze.
If the Rotom Pokédex was here, it would be easy to identify this artificial Pokémon - Attribute: Empty.
The members of the Skull Team looked grim. They maintained the encirclement and whispered:
"What...Pokémon is that?"
"I've never seen anything like it, and it brought down a mountain of dust in an instant!"
Gladion's eyes were cold as he stepped forward, and the three members of the Skull Team quickly retreated. Gladion stood still, and the three immediately surrounded him again.
“You, stay here!” The leader of the Skull Team said fiercely, “Boss Guzma will be here soon!”
Attribute: Sora let out an angry growl, scaring the three people so much that they quickly retreated, and Gladion stretched out his hand to stop them.
If you rely on Pokémon to bully others, you'll be no different from these thugs.
Gladion crossed his arms, "I will fight with my Pokémon and defeat Guzma fair and square."
Then… Gladion's eyes were sharp as he questioned him about the whereabouts of Little Nebula and what exactly his mother and the Aether Foundation were trying to do! The atmosphere was tense, and a voice-over-like sound suddenly came from the rustling palm trees.
"There's no need for you to do anything, little brat!"
"We've also taken over the Alola region, meow~"
The leader of the Skeleton Team turned his head sharply, looked at the figure standing on the treetop, and shouted: "Who, who is here!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Turning his head to look at the corner, Gladion was stunned to see a Mimic casting "Strange Light" like a competent lighting artist.
Under the light, a man and a woman were standing back to back in the tree.
"She has a beautiful face and a slim waist, and she hides her face in shame as if she were hiding herself in the moonlight." Musashi was wearing a casual shirt and a sun hat.
"A flying dragon riding on the clouds, so heroic." Kojiro is wearing a floral shirt, has blue hair and sunglasses, and is holding a rose in his hand.
"Reborn from the same lotus, sharing life and death." The gold coin above Meow Meow's head flashed brightly.
They quickly threw away their casual clothes and changed into white R-style outfits. The trio said in unison: "Team Rocket, here we go!"
As expected, the old man saluted loudly, and Mimi Qiu made a cold "rustling" sound.
The situation became awkward, and Gladion put his hand on his forehead.
The pink-haired female team member whispered to the little leader:
"Boss, their lines seem to be cooler than ours..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" the little boss said angrily, "It's just a courier company, and you want to interfere with Alola's Skull Team!"
"I heard that Team Plasma, which was entrenched in Unova, was defeated by Team Rocket." The fat team member said dryly.
"Ah...Ah!? This is the first time I've heard of this!"
The trio leapt down from the treetops with graceful movements, recalling the battle plan from half an hour ago.
We can't let the 'watermelon-rind girl with glasses' take all the credit.
According to the news from Team Rocket, the mission goal of the cadres is to fight against Team Skull, and we can also do our part!
"Hey, that blond kid!" Musashi shouted, "Get out of here, we're blocking the way!"
Gladion stood still, frowning slightly.
Instead of acting rashly, it is better to stay here and wait for Guzma to come to you.
"You don't understand what I'm saying!"
Musashi turned his head and looked at the member of Team Skull who threw the Pokémon, and shouted: "Mimicryuu, come on!"
The mimic hill made a rustling sound, and Kojiro asked curiously, "What is it saying?"
Meow Meow was startled and her face turned pale: "Children can't, can't say bad words, meow..."
"Forget it..." Musashi sighed, "Sure enough, come here, use the counter punch!"
"Shu~Nanshi!" Sure enough, Weng was facing the attack of three Zubats alone. The sharp blade of "Air Slash" slashed at him, and Sure enough, Weng's body lit up with the white light of "Mirror Coat", and bounced all the air blades back! Bang! !
In a flash, three Zubats fell to the ground from the black smoke, with circles around their eyes.
Gladion was shocked.
What a strong man! Even the attack of the attribute of air could not break the "Mirror Coat" just now! "Stop!"
The shout came suddenly.
The leader of the Skeleton Team, Guzma, came with a large number of his men. The members stood at the entrance and exit of the scenic beach, shoulder to shoulder to form a human wall to isolate the citizens.
The citizens of Haoole City stood on the commercial street, looking at the beach and talking about it. An old man rushed into the backyard, moved out of Kentaro, and yelled: "You bunch of stinky boys, why don't you get back home!"
The members of the Skeleton Team originally came from left-behind families and single-parent families on the island, and were familiar with the merchants in Haole City. They laughed and said:
"No, old man, it will be over soon."
Compared to the elegance, indifference and inhumanity of Miare City, Haole City has the enthusiasm and righteousness of the Alola region.
The trainers stepped forward to negotiate, resisting the Skull Team's blockade of the beach and warning Miss Junsha to come immediately.
Guzma looked back at the commercial district, tutted, and said to Team Rocket, "I don't care whose subordinates you are, but in Alola, there are Alola rules!"
Musashi and Kojiro looked at each other.
Having gone through so many events with the cadres, he was not angry when he met the Skeleton Team, but just felt a little sympathetic.
The closed-off rural feeling, the human touch of Alola, the collision between conservative tradition and the rise of technology...
"Have you ever considered changing careers?"
Kojiro said in a friendly manner, "I mean, like the old Team Rocket, taking up a new job... like decoration?"
Guzma was startled, and became even more angry: "Are you looking down on me?!"
Kojiro was about to say something but stopped himself. Guzma reminded him of many familiar yet vague shadows.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's fight 1v1." Guzma held the Poké Ball in his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "If you win, you leave here. If you lose, make that guy apologize to my injured men!"
Gladion stepped forward: "I will add one more condition."
"If I win."
Guzma's expression froze, and Gladion's eyes were sharp:
"You need to tell me where Cosmogu is."
…
Over the Alola Sea, the R logo on the aircraft refracted the sunlight.
Manatori sat at the main console, staring at the surveillance screen, frowning slightly.
"Those three idiots...directly confronted Team Skull?"
The Skull Team is a product of Alola's unique background. On the one hand, basic education is imperfect, and on the other hand, technology has brought an impact on tradition.
Confused boys and girls, unwilling to follow the rules but unable to find their direction, join the Skeleton Team.
The best way to recruit the Skull Team is not to fight, but to invest in Alola's industry and absorb the Skull Team as employees.
This is Manato's cold and flawless battle plan.
Because of the trio's rash actions, Manato has to consider a new plan.
Manatori was silent for a long time, and the cold face of his rival Oliver flashed through his mind.
If it were Oliver, what would she do...
Suddenly, Zhenniao had an idea.
"In that case, assist Alola in establishing a league, get rid of the monopoly of the Aether Foundation, and let the league events bring economic benefits to Alola - just like the Galar League!"
The Skeleton Team, which was created due to the stagnation of the local economy of Alola, will naturally gradually disappear.
Rocket Logistics will also be able to obtain valuable development opportunities in Alola.
Guzma and Kukui are both apprentices of Hala. Guzma founded the Skull Team because he hated a series of old traditions such as the "Island Trial".
Professor Kukui is determined to establish the Alola Union to solve a series of hidden dangers in Alola.
The conflict between the two is irreconcilable, and they are actually both considering Alola.
At this moment, Manatori and Dr. Kukui's ideas coincide with each other.
Manatori couldn't help but pat his shoulder, and his face flushed when he came back to his senses.
Oops... it's gradually turning into a cadre...
The "Madori Matrix" is an elite team founded by Madori, covering multiple fields such as intelligence, public opinion, and combat, and is praised by Boss Sakaki.
Managi ordered, "Ignore those three idiots. Managi Matrix...First and foremost, do a poll on establishing support for the alliance!"
In the surveillance footage, the battle between Gladion and Guzma has come to an end.
Attribute: Kong brazenly knocked over the armored warrior, causing an uproar among the Skeleton Team members and the onlookers.
Guzma looked incredulous.
…
"How could this be..." Guzma was distraught.
No matter how bad I am, I am still the student of the King of the Island. How could I lose to a trainer who is not even an adult yet? "You and the Armored Warrior fought only based on experience."
Gladion hugged his chest and propped up his elbows, "And Pokémon battles are never that simple."
"Tactics, moves, timing, weaknesses, and bonds..."
Gladion closed his eyes, recalled the time when he was a student of Lu Ye in Kanto, and opened his blue eyes:
"Blindly trusting in experience will only lead to failure by holding on to old and incomplete ideas!"
"Tsk... shut up... you clearly don't understand anything!" Guzma said hysterically.
Guzma was born in a poor but kind family in Alola. His parents' greatest wish was for him to become the captain of the island. The young Guzma lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the island trial, but was kicked out of the captain list because of his brutal and unscrupulous fighting style.
His junior fellow student Kukui returned from studying at Yuhong University and became the first Pokémon professor in Alola, while Guzma was still idle.
"Just imagining myself spending the rest of my life on these four islands of Alola gives me goosebumps," Guzma said.
Guzma attempts to overturn Alola's traditions and opposes Kukui's dream of an alliance, believing that the alliance will lead Alola into another dead end.
In order to change everything, Guzma and Zaobo work together, believing that the "Ultimate Beasts" will be the way out for Alola.
However, at this moment, the young yet powerful Gladion completely aroused Guzma's jealousy and inferiority.
"What do you know? The son of the Aether Foundation, a guy who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth!" Guzma roared.
The subordinate lowered his eyes and advised: "Go back, boss."
"We lost the Pokémon battle, there's no reason to stay..."
Under the strange gazes of the citizens.
Guzma roared as if to vent his anger, turned around, and then stopped. He kept his promise and turned back to say in a hoarse voice: "Cosmogu was taken away by Zaobo... Your mother doesn't know about it. Go to the Space Research Institute now, maybe you can still see Zaobo."
Gladion's eyes flickered: "What does Zaobor want to do!?"
Guzma put his hands in his pockets and left: "Who knows."
The members of the Skeleton Team left one after another.
The trio pricked up their ears, their hearts slightly moved.
Meow Meow looked up and asked, "Do you want to contact the officers, meow?"
"Isn't it better for us to offer Cosmogu to the cadres than for the cadres to do it themselves?" Kojiro rubbed his hands.
Musashi chuckled, "This way, the contribution of the watermelon-skinned girl with glasses can't compare to ours!"
The trio looked up at the sky, bubbles connecting into imaginary images.
Fairy Eevee sat aside angrily, and the figure in the shadows reached out and stroked Meowth's head...
The trio cheered up: "Let's go to the Space Research Institute now!"
Forest, tree hole.
Wearing a bear holding an armful of fruits, he looked up at the second floor. From the second floor came the sound of the trio's constant discussion.
"Woo~" The bear in suit felt relieved, picked up the sweet food and fed it to the bear doll.
On the second floor, next to a round table were three dolls with built-in radios: Kojiro, Musashi, and Meow Meow. The radios kept replaying: "So that's how it is..."
"That's it, meow."
For a whole half day, the bear in the suit was unaware of it, it was like the calm before the storm.
…
Ding, ding.
At the Trainer School, Turtle Bear rang the bell for the end of get out of class.
Gengar was packing up his textbooks and found that he had no textbooks, so he picked up a notebook and turned it over horizontally and vertically, then nodded with satisfaction.
During the break, the students huddled together, looking worried.
"Teacher Lu went out for a class and hasn't come back yet." Mao said.
"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of little Nebula." Xiaozhi sighed.
Liliae said generously: "Little Xingyun is very naughty, and no one can stop it from teleporting... But Mr. Lu will definitely be able to bring Little Xingyun back."
"Come and see!"
The laptop that Mamane was carrying displayed the latest news about Haole City on the screen.
"There's also a video showing someone fighting with the Skull Team!"
Mamane clicked on the video. Liliae stared at the blond boy on the screen, her eyes flickering, and she said in a lost voice: "Brother?!"
Dong! The students looked up in surprise at Dr. Kukui who pushed the door open and walked in. His face was unusually serious.
"Lilia, come out with me."
Dr. Kukui frowned.
According to the news from Dr. Kukui's wife, Dr. Barnett from the Space Research Institute.
In the 'Ether Paradise' of Liliae's mother, Lusamine, an Ultra Beast escaped, causing a huge commotion.
This is a serious matter involving Liliae's family, and there is no reason to hide it from her.
Liliae was slightly distracted when she heard the news, and said uncomfortably:
"So, what should I do now... Doctor?"
Dr. Kukui adjusted his mentality, smiled, put his hands on his hips and said, "The afternoon class is cancelled."
"Liliae, please invite the students to visit the Aether Paradise and observe the Pokémon there!"
Despite the appearance of Ultra Beasts, Kukui trusts his students' abilities. After all, they are the backbone of the Alola region.
Kachi is the youngest person to pass the "Island Trial", and Xiaozhi is the champion of the Miare Conference.
Mamane's hacker talent can help everyone; and with the company of Mao and Suiren, Liliae can also stabilize her mood.
In addition, I and Teacher Lu were present.
Dr. Kukui looked serious.
I hope that Ether Paradise, the Space Research Institute, Liliae... can all survive this crisis safely! …
Interpol, UB Countermeasures Department.
On the round table in the conference room, there is evidence collected by the handsome detective: photos, genetic samples, and audio comparison of Xuwuide's screams.
"You mean, without Lusamine knowing, Zaobo would be unable to restrain himself and release the Hollow Id to attract attention and use the small nebula to open the Ultra Hollow?"
Lu Ye looked at Chief of Staff Lila, who was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and black gloves.
"The establishment of the Ultimate Defense Force has reduced the scope of authority that originally belonged to Zaobo. And with the intervention of Interpol, his research on the Ultra Beasts will become more difficult."
Lila said seriously: "Therefore, opening the Ultimate Hollow and controlling the power of the Ultimate Beast is Zaobo's last chance."
"Why is he so confident?"
"According to the research of scientists from the UB Countermeasures Department, due to the influence of the aura of Xuwuid, the small nebula will open a hole leading to the 'Ultimate Deep Sea'."
"And the 'Ultimate Deep Sea' is inhabited by the army of Xuwuidu... They are the ultimate beasts that are most easily controlled by radio waves and auras."
Lu Ye nodded slightly and asked again: "Why have I never seen the scientists from the Countermeasures Department?"
The handsome guy looked a little embarrassed and said, "Because that scientist is still in jail."
Lu Ye was slightly startled, and the image of a certain mad scientist emerged in his mind.
As he was being taken away, he still shouted wildly: "The next research project will be to study Pokémon from other planets!"
Lu Ye had a complicated expression: "Could it be that I personally sent it in..."
"That's the one."
Lila nodded and said, "The former chief scientist of Team Plasma, the one who controlled Kyurem, Acroma."
"He is currently in a state of redeeming himself for his crimes, and has shown amazing passion and talent in his research on Ultra Beasts. Therefore, his superiors have decided to assign him to provide remote technical assistance."
"He is quite satisfied with his current research work," Lila said calmly. "He can eat three bowls of rice just by reading his research papers."
The scene of Akroma controlling Kyurem and forcibly crashing the plasma destroyer appeared in front of him.
"He didn't even eat the peanuts." Lu Ye murmured, "Prison is indeed a place where talented people come from..."
"It's time, sir."
The 'handsome guy' was wearing a brown coat, with messy hair and sharp eyes: "The mastermind behind the scenes has surfaced, we have to give him a 'surprise'!"
Lu Ye crossed his hands and placed them on his nose, with a gleam in his eyes.
It seems that this Lusamine is the good mother in the 'animated version' who listened to the slander in order to find her husband.
Zaobo can either attribute the 'Hollowid' to Lusamine's collecting habit, or he can use the small nebula to go to the 'Ultimate Deep Sea' and control the Hollowid Army.
Due to the cooperation between Interpol and the Ethereum Foundation, they were forced to implement the plan ahead of schedule.
"Lila, 'Handsome', come with me to the Space Research Institute to arrest Zaobo——"
Lu Ye's eyes were stern, and he shouted, "Earth Defense Force, move out!"
"It's the Ultimate Defense Team." Lila reminded in a low voice.
“It’s all the same!”
…
Enter the main story. () Lusamine in the game and comics is too dark, so I will follow the anime.
In the special episode, Akroma was disguised as Kuroji, but here it is Akroma himself. The relationship between Kukui and Barnett is also brought forward a bit.
