Chapter 827: One Step to the Sky

The Bonidao big test concluded.

The Island Challenge ushered in the final end, the big test that tests the strength of the challenger.

The venue was Mount Lanakila on Ula'ula Island.

It's just that the big test is different from the Pokémon League; it doesn't have a fixed time, so Bad Boy can prepare until he thinks it's appropriate before challenging.

【Under Nanu's suggestion, you go to Haina Desert for special training. At the time of parting, Nanu gives you a Razor Claw.】

Bad Boy was overjoyed and handed this key item to his partner.

Not long after.

【Your Sneasel evolved into Weavile.】

The team evolved into a complete form.

Bad Boy settled down in Haina Desert and began his formal practice. During this period, he encountered many travelers who had strayed into the desert and got lost, so he very kindly rescued them.

He also often helped people in nearby villages do some things.

Until one day.

Bad Boy came to the end of the desert.

This is the location of the Ruins of Abundance. When he had the big test with Nanu, they had come here to pray for Tapu Bulu's blessing.

【You see green light emitting above the ruins.】

Curiosity drove Bad Boy to climb to the top of the rock mountain where the Ruins of Abundance were located. Never thought he would actually see the Island Guardian Tapu Bulu.

The other party was lying on its side on a rock, sleeping.

【You are shocked to the point of being speechless.】

The last time Bad Boy saw Tapu Bulu was when Team Skull was convicted by Nanu.

Out of respect for the Island Guardian.

He didn't disturb Tapu Bulu's slumber and retreated lightly, but in the following days, he always came to visit, hoping to find it when it was awake.

Never thought that every time he went, Tapu Bulu was sleeping. If it weren't for the sound of breathing from time to time, Bad Boy would have really thought something had happened to it.

【You struggled for a while, walked up, and asked the other party to guide your battle.】

Having been a Trainer for so long.

Bad Boy had long understood the principle that cultivating Pokémon has the truth of becoming stronger when meeting the strong, and never becoming strong when meeting the weak.

Relying on the power mastered by the Island Guardian, even if it was just being beaten under its hands, he would definitely be able to learn things that would allow him and his Pokémon to progress.

But the embarrassing thing was.

Tapu Bulu lifted its eyelids and glanced at him, not paying attention to him at all.

Bad Boy begged for a long time without results and ran back to find Nanu, hoping that the latter, as Kahuna, could give some advice.

【You hear Nanu say that Tapu Bulu doesn't like to be active very much because it hates meaningless battles; you must take out something that interests it.】

Things that interest the Island God?

Bad Boy couldn't imagine what he had on him that could attract Tapu Bulu.

【You feel you are very ordinary.】

"Heh!"

All Baimu twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this narrator sentence.

With either 【Gifted Talent】 or 【Limit Break】, he couldn't be called ordinary.

What Bad Boy should really be worried about is not having enough distinct characteristics. So far, besides turning over a new leaf and outstanding battle talent, in All Baimu's view, he didn't have any strong memory points.

Hmm.

Except for the nanny-type ace Persian.

It seems that many weak Trainers will have a strong Pokémon to partner with them, and the two sides form a complement.

In the picture.

Bad Boy returned to the Ruins of Abundance. Thinking for a long time and not knowing how to attract Tapu Bulu, he decided to use practical actions to move the Island God—

Train Pokémon where it sleeps!

All Baimu moved his palms, sighing:

"Talent!"

Bad Boy's move could be said to be stupidly cute. He didn't even think about what emotions would be produced if someone fought by his bed when he was sleeping.

【You see Tapu Bulu open its eyes.】

Before he could be happy, Tapu Bulu flew over aggressively and gave him a heavy blow!

Bang!

Huge text highlighted the power of this blow.

Although it was just smashing its tail in front of him as a warning, it also scared Bad Boy and Alolan Persian, who had rushed to throw itself down to act as a meat shield, quite a bit.

【You apologize to Tapu Bulu with a sad face and leave in a gray manner.】

Empty-handed.

Fortunately, Tapu Bulu was generous enough and didn't do anything to Bad Boy, just warned him and let him go.

Bad Boy didn't dare to go to the Ruins of Abundance again, went back to Nanu to admit his mistake, changed tracks, and went to Mount Lanakila to restart special training.

And Mount Lanakila, as a ski resort, also had many unlucky travelers who had accidents.

Bad Boy trained while saving people.

Never thought Tapu Bulu would take the initiative to find him, and without a word, it launched an attack on his Pokémon.

The difference in attack targets made Bad Boy understand Tapu Bulu's intention, and he excitedly sent out Pokémon one by one to meet the battle.

"Good fellow, Tapu Bulu uprooting the willow."

All Baimu saw Tapu Bulu uprooting a big tree with a boom in the simulation and brandishing it like a hammer, thinking to himself, who can block this kind of wooden hammer?

A fierce battle.

All six of Bad Boy's Pokémon were beaten to the ground, but it also made him feel that he benefited a lot.

【You see Nanu, who appeared at some point. He tells you that although the reckless behavior of that day made Tapu Bulu very angry, the act of Persian sacrificing itself to save you also touched it.】

Tapu Bulu therefore silently observed Bad Boy.

After discovering that he often helped others and had no bad intentions, the Island Guardian understood that this kid wasn't deliberately offending it, just a bit stupid.

Tapu Bulu never fought meaningless battles, but it also knew that letting people like Bad Boy become strong was better than letting people with malicious intent become strong.

So it specifically appeared and participated in Bad Boy's special training.

At the same time, it also brought a gift—

Icium Z.

【You thank Nanu and Tapu Bulu with joy.】

——

The picture flows.

Special training has an end.

When Bad Boy learned that his parents were about to return, he decided to challenge the big test.

At that time, he would welcome them as a passer of the Island Challenge.

Undoubtedly, nowadays Bad Boy is no longer the rebellious child who only knew how to resent his parents. In the process of accepting Nanu's teaching and the Island Challenge, his thoughts gradually changed.

【In the Ula'ula Island test, you understood the price of making mistakes; in the Melemele Island test, you understood that conflicts between humans and Pokémon in nature are inevitable; in the Akala Island test, you understood that dance is also a cultural inheritance; in the Bonidao test, you understood the charm of nature.】

The Island Challenge has never been dross.

It is a method for people living on this land to have a deeper understanding of this land, and it is also a process for this part of people to gradually possess the power to protect this land.

【You think Team Skull's philosophy is wrong.】

Although the Island Challenge hasn't ended yet.

But Bad Boy has already realized it. The past him was only indignant because of Team Skull's approach; today, he has completely rejected everything about Team Skull from the inside out.

The big test began.

The first opponent to become Bad Boy was the Kahuna of Melemele Island, Hala.

The powerful Fighting-type still suppressed Bad Boy, who was good at Dark-type Pokémon, but the latter was no longer what it used to be.

Honchkrow, as a flying unit, had trained extraordinary eyesight while helping residents find things.

This also enabled it to tease Hala's Pokémon back and forth.

Besides, Alolan Muk also made great contributions. The two moves, Minimize and Acid Armor, were used in cycles, always able to avoid the fists, and then drag the opponent to self-destruction with fierce toxins.

And in the big test, every time a challenger meets a Kahuna, they can use a Z-Move once.

Bad Boy naturally wouldn't miss the great opportunity.

The Fairy Z 【Twinkle Tackle】 used with Persian's 【Play Rough】 as the base directly took down Hala's ace, Hariyama.

It didn't give him a chance to use Fighting Z at all.

【You defeated the first Kahuna.】

The second one was the Kahuna of Akala Island, the fiery Fire-type Pokémon.

Bad Boy sent out Alolan Raticate.

Enemies meet and are especially jealous. Charizard, who had lost to Raticate before, sprayed fire wildly as soon as it appeared on the field. Never thought Raticate's speed and jumping ability had gone a step further.

At the same time, its sensitivity to smell allowed it to always discover the smell of gunpowder smoke emitted when Charizard was about to release a move in advance, allowing it to avoid it in advance.

Relying on this special talent, after defeating Charizard and Arcanine, it also reduced the physical strength of Alolan Marowak to below the health line with Crunch.

Finally, it was defeated by Zoroark's range move 【Night Daze】.

Instead, Bad Boy successfully took down Magmortar with the Ground Z 【Tectonic Rage】 based on Dig, and let Zoroark create an environment to make 【Inferno Overdrive】 deviate, barely not falling, and counterattacked to finish off Pyroar.

Completely drawing a period.

【You defeated the second Kahuna.】

Bad Boy didn't win these two battles arduously; they could be called relaxed, which also reflected the difference between him and the apothecary.

The third opponent was Nanu, the Kahuna of Ula'ula Island.

Bad Boy's teacher.

This was the person he knew best, and also the person who helped him the most.

【The feedback you can give is to go all out.】

And in this battle, Bad Boy fought even more easily than the first two. It wasn't that Nanu held back, but that his own state had improved significantly!

Bad Boy proved to All Baimu that the real 【Limit Break】 is not a meteor that flashes by.

It is strength that is exploding and growing every moment!

Bad Boy and his Pokémon, especially Persian's strength, increased with the change of state of mind, once suppressing Nanu.

Finally.

Both sides ended this battle with a double 【Black Hole Eclipse】.

Bad Boy also presented his "final exam" paper that he was most satisfied with.

【You defeated the third Kahuna.】

With the 【Limit Break】 talent that continued to play a role, Bad Boy brought in the last Kahuna of Bonidao.

Without any hesitation, Bad Boy used the Z-Move at the beginning of the battle.

The Ice Z 【Subzero Slammer】 used by Weavile took down the opponent's first Pokémon without any effort.

The three Kahunas watching and the one in the battle were clearly surprised that he was so decisive.

Afterward, the second one, Weavile, showed its terrifying speed of walking on snow without leaving a trace. If it had possessed this ability before evolution, Bad Boy would have been very hard to catch it.

Of course, this also had to do with Bad Boy never letting Weavile play before, ensuring its best state.

After winning two Pokémon in a row, Weavile finally lost.

The successor was the aerial unit Honchkrow.

This Pokémon, which had once amazed the opponent, performed well again this time. The dazzling flying skills didn't look like a Pokémon that had just gone through three wheel battles at all.

It successfully defeated the opponent's third Pokémon, and also fell in front of the fourth one because its mental state was not good after fighting for too long.

But the fourth one was also quickly taken down by Alolan Muk, and both sides perished together.

The final moment arrived.

Persian vs. the Kahuna's last one.

As Bad Boy's first Pokémon, it certainly possessed the Dark-type, but it always took care of the former's body and mind, leading him to the right path.

It could be said that besides Nanu, it also made great contributions.

Bad Boy also knew Persian's dedication to him, so at this most critical moment, he bet everything on Persian.

It wouldn't let him down!

【You let out the final shout!】

"Dark Pulse!"

The pitch-black halo covering a small half of the screen blew the opponent's Pokémon away. It was also at this moment that the simulation screen began to flash back to the bits and pieces of Bad Boy and Persian getting along.

All Baimu was stunned.

Flashback?

Is this a resonance?

Without waiting for him to study it carefully, the Kahuna's last Pokémon fainted, and the narrator popped out.

【You defeated the fourth Kahuna, you successfully passed the Island Challenge.】

Passed!

What about after the Island Challenge?

All Baimu looked at the screen expectantly. From the rewards of the apothecary before, it was not hard to judge that the Island Challenge is equivalent to the League Conference. Passing it is the level of the Conference winner.

So what will the Champion League after passing be replaced by?

The answer is—

Nothing.

In the Alola region, the Island Challenge ends upon passing. Even if you defeat the Kahuna, you cannot become them. Therefore, if the orange talent is staged in the Alola region...

All Baimu might only have the reward of the Conference winner!

"This! What a loss of a region!"

He bared his teeth, unable to believe that this was the result of the Alola region.

The simulation screen was still continuing.

【You welcome back your parents, tell them you passed the Island Challenge, and announce your future goals.】

【Your parents are very surprised, but they agree with your thoughts.】

【You go to the Police Academy for further studies with the help of your family and Teacher Nanu.】

【You become an International Police officer.】

At the end of the picture.

It was a picture of Bad Boy wearing a police uniform with a khaki trench coat on the outside.

All Baimu: "!"

wtf!?

One step to the sky!?

【Fixed Reward: TM × 5 (Attribute can be specified)】

【Fixed Reward: Professional Memory of a Police Officer—Tracking Chapter (Can be read repeatedly)】

【Fixed Reward: Alolan Persian's Care Memory—Bedtime Story Chapter (Can be read repeatedly)】

【Choice Reward 1: Any Pokémon increases by 5 levels (below lv70)】

【Choice Reward 3: Skill—Dark Pulse (Can choose a Pokémon to learn)】

【Choice Reward 4: Keep the 【Elite System】 talent for the next round of simulation】

Seeing the heading of the fixed reward, All Baimu was even more confused.

Does this mean the model has changed again?

Prodigal returns...

Returned so thoroughly! ===== CHAPTER 828 =====
