He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Mr. Halla."

Kukui and the other man simply greeted each other, and it was obvious that they were all familiar with each other.

When he's free, Hala will come to the Pokémon School to give speeches.

"The incident started with a new teacher we invited from out of town."

Kukui cut to the chase and quickly introduced Xiaozhi and everything that happened during the day regarding Tapu Kukui.

Hala has small eyes similar to Xiaogang's, especially when he is thinking and stroking his beard, his eyes are almost just a slit.

"I didn't expect that even Tapu Kokoro has started to take action now. What is the purpose of these four island gods?"

Listening to Hala's silent thoughts, Kukui and Principal Oak looked at each other with shocked expressions.

Isn’t this phenomenon accidental?

"Well, there have been reports of people seeing the guardian spirits of the islands on the neighboring Ula'ula Island and Akala Island recently, and the frequency is increasing."

Hala said with a serious look.

Although there are sacrificial ruins built by people for the guardian gods on every island in the Alola region, which are said to be the places where the guardian gods live. But even if you go to the ruins, few people can actually see these guardian gods.

These Pokémon rarely show their faces in front of humans.

Of course, there are exceptions like Poni Island.

It seems that because the new king/queen of the island has not been elected yet, the local guardian deity, Tapu Fin-Fin, has not been recorded in any activities so far.

"Are you looking for a powerful trainer?"

Kukui couldn't help but speak up and put forward a hypothesis.

In fact, he had come into contact with more than one guardian of Alola. He had not mentioned this to anyone.

At that time, Xiaozhi was still a rookie and was challenging the Quartz League, and Kukui disguised as the Royal Masked Man also participated in that competition.

In order to demonstrate the momentum of the Alola region, Kukui went to the depths of the ruins on the four islands before setting off to pray sincerely, attempting to obtain the power and help of the guardian gods.

In the end, three guardian gods appeared, but Tapu Kokoro and Tapu Moo of Ula'ula Island both rejected his request to fight.

The Tapu Butterfly of Akala Island is a Pokémon with a personality like a romantic girl, especially playful, and even has some dark attributes.
In the end, Tapu Tete agreed to Kukui's request and temporarily teamed up with him to fight in the Quartz League together.

But in the end, he still lost to the strongest champion over there.
"Wait a minute, Kukui, are you the Royal Masked Man?!"

"Well, this contrast is a bit big."

Chengye Damu and Hala were both surprised and exclaimed when they heard that. The royal masked man on the ring was actually a wild muscular man!
"Haha, these are not important. What's important is that these island guardians seem to be looking for powerful trainers?"

Kukui scratched his head, gave a dry laugh, and quickly returned to the topic.

It’s not a big problem to reveal my identity to the two people in front of me.

As for the intentions of the island gods, could it be that they want to find human partners?

What’s the purpose of just finding a partner?

Hara crossed his arms and finally said in a deep voice:
"Perhaps, we are seeking strength to deal with the crises that may occur in Alola in the future?"

Kukui's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to ask, Hala waved his hand:

"Don't ask me, I don't know the details." But according to the local mythology of Alola, many extraordinary things have happened on this land.

And the legendary Pokémon here are not just the four island guardians.

What puzzled him was that as the strongest person on Melemele Island, why didn't Tapu Kokoro come to him if he needed help?

"Anyway, this trainer named Xiaozhi may be very important to our Alola region. If you two have any follow-up, please be sure to inform me as soon as possible."

Hala was about to leave, but before leaving, her eyes were suddenly attracted by two small objects on the table next to her.

"Is this, Brilliant Stone and Pure Z Crystal?"

Kukui quickly told Xiaozhi what happened, and he hadn't had time to give the things to Xiaozhi yet.

"Well, most likely, this is something that Tapu Kokoro was going to give to that Satoshi teacher. It was just revealed in advance."

Hala deduced that Tapu Kokoro's initiative to challenge was probably to test whether Satoshi was qualified to use Z-moves.

"Then leave this brilliant stone to me for now. I will make it into a Z bracelet."

The brilliant stone is equivalent to the raw key stone in the Kalos area and needs to undergo certain processing.

This processing technique is usually mastered by the king or queen of each island and passed down from generation to generation. When they meet a trainer they like, they will give the finished Z bracelet to him to help the latter master the power of Z moves.

As for things like Brilliant Stone, although it is not very common, it is not very rare either.

For example, Hara and Kukui both have Z bracelets made of Radiant Stone.

Like the Key Stone, the Radiant Stone may appear in any corner of the Alola region, and can be dug up with luck.

Or perhaps it was directly given by the island’s guardian gods.

These guardian gods seem to be born with a keen sense of smell and can detect where the brilliant stones are buried.

Is it even possible that the Brilliant Stone was created by them?

Hala held the brilliant stone in his hand. There was an arrow and the letter "Z" in the center of the stone, and even a diamond-shaped slot for installing Z pure crystal. It didn't look like a natural product at all, but more like some kind of black technology device.

"If there is time, let's also let Mr. Xiaozhi join us in our Alola island tour."

Hala suggested.

By completing various challenges during the pilgrimage, you can obtain corresponding Z-Crystals. Of course, they are all Z-Crystals of basic attributes, not those of a specific Pokémon.

Now there is only this one pure electric crystal that exploded from Mingming, which is not enough.

Kukui and Principal Oak could only smile at each other, hoping that they were overthinking it and there was no "crisis" at all.

Before leaving, Hala suddenly remembered something and reminded:
"By the way, our Lili Town is about to hold this year's All-Out Celebration. Please ask Xiaozhi to attend. I am very interested in this trainer who was personally chosen by Tapu Kokoro!"

Upon hearing this, Kukui's eyes lit up and he smiled nostalgically:

"Is this year's All-Out Celebration going to be held soon? Time flies so fast. I can still remember the scene from the last one so vividly~"

Last time, he participated in the All-Out Celebration as a Royal Masked Man and won the championship.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the royal masked man was Brother Kukui~"

Hara smiled bitterly, remembering the Blazing Roaring Tiger who stood side by side with Kukui at that time. His strength was a complete dimensionality reduction blow to the other contestants participating in the celebration! (End of this chapter)
