Chapter 826: Gifted Talent

The goal of the test was to learn two dances.

Bad Boy originally thought that if he untied the old shackles of his thinking, he would easily be able to learn them.

But in the end...

【You find that the dances they dance are exactly the same, with no difference at all.】

"The difficulty of the test is actually finding the Alolan Marowak that dances a different dance?" All Baimu twitched the corners of his mouth. After all the trouble, it still returned to "spot the difference."

Of course.

The test process of learning to dance is much more difficult than directly finding the difference in the game; one only needs to look, the other needs to learn.

【You search for wild Marowak all over the mountains and plains.】

Fortunately, what Bad Boy lacks least is patience.

Or rather, his patience was forged long ago when he was striving for others' forgiveness.

The picture accelerated.

Clearly, this was an extremely time-consuming and arduous test. Heaven knows how long Bad Boy spent, but he finally discovered his target.

【You discovered Totem Marowak.】

With a dance different from the norm and a size different from the norm, Bad Boy understood everything.

All Baimu frowned.

How come he didn't encounter Totem Marowak?

Was the territory occupied by the Totem Salazzle that migrated there later?

Very likely!

In the end, why did Totem Salazzle suddenly move to Akala Island? Was it because it found a way to cross the sea by itself, or did someone help it go? To All Baimu, it was a mystery for the time being.

In the picture.

Alolan Persian was fighting Totem Marowak hotly.

It once suppressed the latter, which only knew how to spin its bone club like a windmill and rush around with flames, and relied on attribute advantages to beat it back steadily.

But because the pixel screen of the simulated battle was relatively crude, the process was also rough, making Persian look like it was playing Mario.

Jumping around.

And Bad Boy stood on the side, seized the timing, and directly used Dark Z.

The terrifying vortex created by 【Black Hole Eclipse】 sucked Totem Marowak into it without any effort, and then triggered a huge explosion that shook the entire screen!

Boom——!!

All Baimu narrowed his eyes. It was also a battle against a Totem Pokémon, but Bad Boy's reliance on Z-Moves and Pokémon was far above the apothecary girl.

If the apothecary encountered this kind of test, she would only use the bombs she prepared to deal with the enemy.

Perhaps this was also one of the reasons why she ultimately failed to pass the big test.

【You defeated Totem Marowak, received Fire Z as a reward, and learned the second dance from it.】

Totem Pokémon were as fierce as ever before fighting, and as cooperative as ever after fighting. Not only did it give Fire Z, but it even taught Bad Boy the dance hand-in-hand.

To be reasonable.

If All Baimu hadn't seen the real Marowak fire stick dance, he might have really been deceived by the pixel version of the "dance" that had no aesthetic sense at all.

Some things are indeed more impressive when viewed in reality.

On the way down the mountain.

Bad Boy met the Kahuna who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

【You impatiently show the two dances you learned, and the Kahuna smiles and announces that you have passed the test.】

The picture changed.

Time flew to the next day.

The big test was staged.

Kiawe's grandfather was good at Fire-type, and his first Pokémon was also the Charizard All Baimu had seen with his own eyes.

【You sent out Alolan Raticate.】

The black-haired big rat with bulging cheeks appeared.

Bad Boy's tactic was to use Quick Attack to dodge long-range attacks and get close, and then use Super Fang to stably consume Charizard's physical strength.

Raticate being able to do this had a deep connection with its excellent jumping ability.

Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to hit Charizard, an aerial unit.

Finally.

Charizard fell under Raticate's killer fangs.

The rat slashes the flying dragon!

Afterward, the Marowak sent out by the Kahuna defeated Raticate with Flame Charge, and was soon defeated by Alolan Muk using disgusting moves like Minimize and Acid Armor.

Seeming to realize that there would be no chance to use it if he didn't use the Z-Move, the Kahuna released his third Pokémon, Magmar, and immediately triggered the Z-Move 【Inferno Overdrive】.

Alolan Muk couldn't block it at all and was defeated angrily.

Fire Z was different from Fighting Z. The energy attack of Fighting Z was relatively scattered. As long as the reaction and speed were fast, there was space to dodge.

For example, Ash's Pikachu barely dodged most of it.

Unfortunately, Fire Z directly covered most of the field, and there was no chance to dodge even if he wanted to. Alolan Muk's Minimize and Acid Armor were useless.

Fortunately, Bad Boy's general, Persian, only appeared at this moment.

It was also a Z-Move start, but who would have thought that its Dark Z actually successfully took away Magmar, who hadn't fully recovered after using Z, in one wave!

Bad Boy himself didn't expect that Dark Z would become more powerful the more it was used. The move that was originally used for finishing now had the ability to kill in seconds!

【You are cheering in your heart.】

【You passed the big test of Akala Island.】

Kiawe's grandfather gave Bad Boy Poison Z because he felt Alolan Muk's performance was very outstanding.

"He won't use it even if he's given it..."

All Baimu had never seen Bad Boy use any Z-Move other than Dark Z.

How loyal is he to Dark Z?

【You returned to Ula'ula Island.】

The island was still calm.

Nanu was becoming more and more lazy, and his image almost overlapped with the era All Baimu was in, which showed how terrible the influence of the environment on people was.

After the battle of the Akala Island big test, Bad Boy discovered his shortcomings again.

【You feel that the team lacks aerial combat power.】

Charizard's mobility made Bad Boy very envious. It just so happened that his team only had four Pokémon, so he could completely add a new one.

【You ask Nanu what kind of Pokémon you should capture.】

Nanu's answer was very simple—

Take out the ball, open it.

A Honchkrow appeared in front of Bad Boy.

【You decide to capture Murkrow as a new partner.】

Murkrow was not a rare Pokémon on Ula'ula Island. They often appeared in Malie City, causing trouble everywhere like Team Skull.

Because the degree was relatively light, it could only be counted as pranks, so they weren't rejected by everyone like Team Skull.

But hearing that Bad Boy wanted to capture it and had the ability to make it obedient, the encouragement of the citizens to this warm-hearted young man also turned into encouragement.

It was as if they couldn't wait for Murkrow to be captured.

With the help of the citizens, Bad Boy successfully discovered the traces of wild Murkrow.

【You set up a net.】

Murkrow was indeed a very smart Pokémon and was particularly good at group cooperation. The traps Bad Boy set were easily seen through by them.

Not only that, to tease Bad Boy, they even took the initiative to approach, posing as if they were caught by the trap.

When Bad Boy took the bait, they immediately ran away and laughed loudly at him for his futile efforts.

It was just that Murkrow didn't expect the mantis to stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Bad Boy was indeed teased, along with Alolan Muk and other Pokémon with him. The Murkrows were too proud and didn't discover the real hunter—

Persian!

The hunter rushed out from the hiding place, straight to the most arrogant Murkrow. The silent sneak attack made Persian succeed, and the remaining Murkrows flew away in fear.

Cat catching birds was no different from cat catching mice. Bad Boy and the other Pokémon watching from not far away all had joy expressions floating above their heads.

Only Raticate had a string of ellipses above its head.

The bird dies and the mouse grieves, nothing more than this.

【You captured Murkrow, and the partner serving the residents has increased.】

The newly joined Murkrow was angry and naturally didn't cooperate much with Bad Boy.

But just like the function of asking for Pokémon's wishes in Scarlet and Violet, no matter how you think—

It's not up to you!

At least Persian looked down on Murkrow's attitude.

Although they were both Dark-type Pokémon, Persian, cultivated by Nanu, had a much more upright personality than Murkrow, and it was also a Pokémon that unconditionally agreed with and even supported Bad Boy's police ideal.

——

Bonidao.

The last island in Bad Boy's Island Challenge.

He came with high spirits and found the Kahuna in the Seafolk Village as he wished.

【You received a test from the Kahuna—go to Poni Garden to collect one kilogram of Purple Nectar.】

Collect nectar?

The apothecary's test seemed to be picking flowers.

All Baimu recalled simply, thinking that the two tests seemed different, but most likely they would all conflict with the Totem Ribombee inhabiting the garden.

It could be said that all changes remain the same.

However, the apothecary went smoothly to Poni Garden, but Bad Boy got lost in Poni Grove.

Even if he let Murkrow fly to a high place to point out the direction, he still couldn't get out.

【You realize that you might have been pranked by a wild Pokémon.】

Incredible.

Bad Boy encountered such a weird thing and wouldn't associate it with mysterious existences like ghosts; what he thought of was wild Pokémon!

This is too calm!

To be honest, All Baimu himself would inevitably consider existences like ghosts when encountering this situation.

After all, he had really seen those things.

After Bad Boy guessed that what was blocking his way was a wild Pokémon, he adopted corresponding means—Murkrow's Taunt, Persian and Sneasel's Screech.

Taunt goes without saying, Persian and Sneasel's Screech looked very terrifying at a glance.

The bubble frame occupying most of the screen was full of onomatopoeia like "screech screech," making people feel cold just looking at it.

This response method was a great success.

【The scene in front of you has changed, and the wild Pokémon that appeared because it couldn't stand the disturbance is right in front of you.】

The Fox Pokémon Zoroark.

After a brief astonishment, Bad Boy decisively took out a Poké Ball.

Zoroark saw that the situation was not good and used illusions to change its appearance to escape, but was controlled by Murkrow's Mean Look and beaten up by Persian.

【You captured Zoroark, and the partner serving the residents has increased.】

After some tossing.

Bad Boy successfully gathered six Pokémon, and the team was formed.

"Zoroark, huh..."

All Baimu was inexplicably moved. This kind of Pokémon is quite rare as a cute creature of the fifth generation. Except for seeing it once beside N, he had never seen other individuals with his own eyes.

Perhaps there are still some in the Pokémon Paradise, but they most likely won't appear in front of others at will.

Passing through Poni Grove and Poni Plains.

Bad Boy and Persian successfully arrived at the quiet Poni Garden.

【You excitedly start collecting Purple Nectar.】

Before formally collecting, Bad Boy thought he would finish it soon, until he discovered that the nectar that could be collected in each purple flower was less than one gram.

【You feel this is a protracted war.】

Bad Boy guessed wrong.

This was not only a protracted war, but also an encounter battle.

The Totem Pokémon inhabiting Poni Garden—Ribombee officially appeared. It was clearly unkind and took the initiative to launch an attack with its companion Florges.

Bad Boy had to put down the nectar first and sent out Persian and Muk to meet the enemy.

A great battle kicked off.

It was just that while fighting, both sides moved away from the flower field and flower vines, and neither side undoubtedly wanted to destroy the garden's environment.

And Bad Boy's strategy was deeper.

After moving away from the purple flowers, he didn't hesitate to use the Z-Move—the Poison-type 【Acid Downpour】.

Using a Z-Move other than Dark Z for the first time, Bad Boy performed very skillfully.

This also made the power of Poison Z not affected at all, fully venting on Totem Ribombee.

And Muk was superior to Persian in aggressiveness. The Poison Z released with Gunk Shot as the base was naturally powerful, easily defeating Totem Ribombee.

Although Florges escaped because it was far away, it couldn't escape Persian's pursuit.

The Totem side was defeated.

After the battle.

Totem Ribombee gave Bad Boy Fairy Z, and Florges gave Bad Boy a large bag of Purple Nectar, making the latter happy to the point of "madness," and in his excitement, he fiercely kissed Florges.

Florges was shy, and both left under Totem Ribombee's teasing.

【You pour out the nectar in the leaf bag and find that you are only one step away from success.】

Bad Boy calmed down and continued to collect.

Before long, the goal was achieved.

He returned to the Seafolk Village before the sun set in the afternoon and submitted the harvest to the Kahuna.

【You passed the test.】

The next day.

The big test was conducted on Exeggutor Island, not far from Bonidao.

The attribute the Kahuna was good at was Ground-type. Bad Boy decisively sent out the Flying-type aerial unit Murkrow to meet the Alolan Dugtrio.

Compared with the three hairs of the Diglett period, the Alolan Dugtrio had a golden bob, a ramen head, and big waves.

At a glance, the feeling of a heavy metal rock band came rushing.

Because Dugtrio couldn't leave the ground, after a few rounds of entanglement, the Dugtrio side retreated steadily.

The Kahuna had no choice but to exchange Pokémon and send out Gastrodon.

With long-range attack means, the Kahuna's side finally stopped being beaten unilaterally.

But Murkrow was too cunning, often inducing Gastrodon to attack in a diving posture, and as soon as Gastrodon took the bait, it flexibly and maneuverably raised its altitude, avoided the attack, and then used Dark Pulse to counterattack.

Forcing Gastrodon to use Recover, never thinking that this move had already fallen into the trap deliberately set by Bad Boy.

Murkrow used Snatch to turn Recover for its own use, and also attacked Gastrodon, which had attacked in a panic, one step ahead, completely defeating it.

The fierce attack like thunder and lightning made even All Baimu, who was across the screen, couldn't help but praise Bad Boy.

【Gifted Talent】!

Murkrow was already like this, let alone the other Pokémon.

One was more cunning than the other.

Even if the Kahuna successfully used the Ground Z 【Tectonic Rage】, it still couldn't reverse the ending of Bad Boy's victory.

【You successfully passed the Bonidao test.】

The Kahuna gave Ground Z and an Dusk Stone.

Murkrow's performance amazed him, so this was a special reward.

Bad Boy thanked him again and again, and expectantly gave the Dusk Stone to the expectant Murkrow.

Light flashed.
