Not a Trainer This Time

Chapter 624 The Pot of Punishment

"We're going to Desert City! Mayali, Hupa wants to eat a lot of donuts!"

Deep in the desert, Mayali stood on a sand dune, looking at the city in the desert in the distance.

After traveling for a day and a night, they finally arrived at their destination.

Hearing Hupa's words, Mayali showed a smile on his face: "You like donuts very much, okay, when we get to the city, I will go to the store to buy donuts for you!"

"Yeah, Mayali is the best!" Hupa celebrated.

A group of people successfully arrived in Desert City.

After Mayali placed a few Pokémon in a deserted stand to rest, he picked up his wallet and said to them: "I'm going to buy donuts for you right now. You guys wait here!"

The Heroes expedition team and the others had no objections, and Hupa happily agreed.

Several Pokémon were waiting here, but after waiting for a long time, Mayali didn't come back.

At this time, Hupa saw the distressed expressions on Mew and the others' faces, and a good idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Dream, are you hungry? It doesn't matter, Hupa will go get you donuts right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden halo around Hupa's waist flew out automatically, with a blue light flashing in the middle.

"Hupalaolao!"

Hoopa reached in and quickly pulled out the first donut.

Seeing this scene, Mew, Baby Bear and Victini opened their eyes wide.

"miu!"

Wow! What an amazing ability!

"Hehe!" Hupa was dazzled by the admiration in his eyes, and immediately stretched out his hand again: "There are more!"

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Sure enough, more donuts were fished out by Hoopa.

But just when Hupa was about to grab the fourth piece, he suddenly felt something grabbing his hand.

It was slightly surprised, and with a strong pull, it actually pulled out a human boy and a Pikachu.

The boy was about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was not wearing a shirt and only wore a pair of shorts.

He looked at the sudden change in the surrounding environment with a face full of surprise: "Where is this place?"

But the next second, the young man saw several familiar figures opposite the halo.

"Dream...Baby Bear...Why are you here?!"

Mew and Baby Bear also recognized Xiaozhi and Pikachu at this time.

"One?"

"miu?"

There were also doubtful expressions on their faces.

Xiaozhi seemed to understand, and then stood up and said with a smile: "I know, you must be traveling around here! Like you, I just came here!"

"Huh?" Hupa was very curious after seeing the interaction between several people: "Do you know each other?"

The baby bear nodded happily: "One, one, one!" (They are Xiaozhi and Pikachu, they are good partners!)

"Xiao Zhi... Pika..." Hupa muttered these two names.

"It's Xiaozhi and Pikachu!" Xiaozhi corrected: "Besides, you are..."

"Hupa!" Hupa introduced himself. It looked at Pikachu with curiosity: "This is the first time Hupa has seen it!"

The Hero Expedition team stood aside and happily watched the interaction between Hupa and Xiaozhi.

The baby bear took out his Rotom mobile phone and prepared to make a call to Naoki to tell Naoki about their encounter with Hoopa.

Soon, the call was answered.

Naoki's face appeared on the screen.

"Are they Mew and Baby Bear?" In the pasture, looking at the two Pokémon across from each other, Naoki asked with a smile: "Where are you traveling now?"

"Nini!" Victini flew over from outside the camera, and there it was and there it was!

"Long time no see, Victini!" Naoki greeted it.

"Nini!" Victini nodded happily.

The three little ones crowded in front of the screen and looked at Naoki opposite.

After a few simple greetings, Baby Bear got down to business.

"One, one, one!" (By the way, Naoki, we found Hoopa! But what should we do to help it lift the seal?)

Hupa? Naoki was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Did you find it?"

"miu!" (Yes!)

The camera automatically flipped, and the next second, the picture of Hoopa playing with Ash and Pikachu appeared on the screen.

That Pokémon...is indeed Hoopa!

Seeing this scene, Naoki immediately realized that the theatrical version of "Halo's Super Demon God" was about to happen!

This theatrical version was very famous in his previous life. In it, legendary Pokémon gathered, almost all the mythical beasts appeared, and there was an ultimate battle in Desert City.

It also gave birth to the famous scene of Black Rayquaza beating Seven and Groudon walking back to Hoenn.

Because of this, Naoki was very impressed by this theatrical version.

If he remembered correctly, Mayali's brother Balza would return with the Pot of Punishment, but he would be controlled and released to free Hupa.

Later, the Pot of Punishment was broken by the Rocket trio, causing Hoopa's sealed power to break free. Because of the anger that had been sealed for 100 years, that power turned into a clone of Hoopa, trying to replace Hoopa. , become the true self.

At that time, a large group of legendary Pokémon will start an unprecedented battle in Desert City.

Although there is no detailed description in the anime, according to Naoki's understanding of those legendary Pokémon, with their power, even if they move their fingers, they will bring terrible disasters to Desert City.

Not to mention that Groudon and Kyogre have now achieved the power of their original return, and on top of that, they have absorbed a large amount of natural energy and become stronger.

If it happens normally, the entire Desert City will be swallowed up by disaster.

Can…

If he hadn't gone through this, Hupa would never have been able to regain his original power.

"miu?" (Does Naoki know how to help Hupa lift the seal?)

Mengmeng looked up and saw that Hupa, who was playing with Xiaozhi, had also fished out the companions who were traveling with Xiaozhi.

The group is amazed by Hupa's magical energy.

"It all depends on Hupa himself." Naoki replied.

Only when Hupa understands the true meaning of "punishment" and is truly willing to accept the power that belongs to it, will the anger that has been sealed for a hundred years dissipate.

At that time, Hupa will take back his own power.

"miu..." (Hupa...)

Dream murmured and repeated Hupa's name.

The next second, Hupa's voice sounded in their ears.

Hupa flew over at some point, squeezed into the middle of the screen, and looked at Rotom's phone curiously.

"Hupa is here! Huh? Is this it?"

Victini: "Nini!" (It's Naoki, the logistician of the Heroes Expedition! Both Baby Bear and I got his help. Naoki is a very, very, very good human being!)

"Naoki..." Hupa suddenly felt itchy: "Hehe, let's ask Hupa to bring him over and play together!"

The next second, a golden halo emerged from Naoki's side.

Before Naoki could react, Hupa poked his head out with a wicked smile, stretched out his little hand, and pulled him over.

The force was so strong that Naoki couldn't even break free, and only had time to say, "Hey!"

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding scene changed, allowing him to travel from the ranch to the desert city far away in the Kalos region.

Naoki: "..."

Seeing Naoki, Baby Bear and Victini's eyes suddenly lit up.

Very good! Naoki is here too!

Not far away, Xiaozhi and his party also saw this scene, and Xiaozhi immediately ran over with surprise on his face.

"Mr. Naoki, why are you here too?"

Serena, Yurika, and Citron also ran forward and looked at the human in front of them who was also fished out by Hupa.

"Mr. Naoki?" Serena couldn't help asking.

Xiaozhi nodded: "Well, that's right! He is a very powerful trainer!"

Naoki rubbed his head with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here. It's been a long time, Ash and Pikachu." Hupa looked left and right, and then said happily: "It turns out that everyone is here." know!"

At this time, Mayali, who had gone out to buy donuts, finally returned here.

She looked at the few extra people and froze on the spot.

Xiaozhi and his group stepped forward to explain, while Naoki took the opportunity to borrow Mew and the others' Rotom cell phones, contacted the ranch and explained the current situation, and then turned his attention to Mayali.

Mayali was apologizing to Xiaozhi and others.

"I'm very sorry for bringing you into this."

"It's okay!" Serena said politely, "We just happen to be coming over here too."

"Yes, it was Hupa who helped everyone!" Hupa danced happily.

Naoki was pulled over inexplicably: "..."

At this time, Naoki suddenly felt a familiar aura from Yurika.

He looked suspiciously and saw a petite, cell-like creature on her backpack.

That's... Zygarde Core?

If he remembered correctly, Yulijia seemed to have named it Xiaoruan.

The core of Zygarde also noticed Naoki's gaze. It turned its head to look in confusion, but then, it felt the aura of cells and Z2 from the opponent.

Xiaoruan was stunned for a moment.

Naoki withdrew his gaze and thought to himself, who said that he would never call her by that name, but now it still smells so good.

But then again, it was Z2 he saw first, not Xiaoruan.

But they are both Zygarde's core, so after rounding off they are all Zygarde, there is no difference.

"Who is this gentleman?" Mayali looked at Naoki who was standing behind him.

"Hello, I'm Naoki." Naoki said.

"He is a good friend of Mew and the others!" Hupa added helpfully.

good friend? Mayali asked quite unexpectedly: "Are you the trainer of Meng Meng and Baby Bear?"

"Absolutely." Naoki turned his attention to Hupa and asked, "This child's power seems to be incomplete."

Hearing this, Mayali was slightly startled.

"Hupa's power is incomplete, Miss Mayali, what's going on?" Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask.

Mayali looked at Hupa. She didn't hide the appearance of several people, but sighed.

"That's because Hupa's true power is sealed."

"Seal?!" Xiaozhi and others were surprised.

"That's right." Mayali nodded, and then explained: "A long time ago, Desert City was a very ordinary town, until one day, Hupa appeared in front of the residents."

"It took away some food, but then brought a lot of money to the town, brought prosperity to the town, and the residents adored it for that."

"One day, the residents wanted to see its power and asked it to fight other Pokémon. In that battle, Hoopa defeated many powerful Pokémon in succession."

"In order to prove his strength, Hupa even summoned the legendary Pokémon. In the end, it lost control..."

"It was at that time that our great-grandfather used the Pot of Punishment to seal Hoopa, and then it became like this."

"My brother has already gone to look for the Pot of Punishment. When he comes back, Hupa can regain his power."

Saying that, Mayali looked at Hupa.

"You weren't scared, were you?" Hupa scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Xiaozhi and others were stunned.

"It's just as I expected." Naoki said.

As soon as these words came out, several people's eyes immediately turned to him.

"If I read correctly, the power that sealed Hupa comes from Arceus, right?" Naoki asked.

"Arzeus?!" Citron was shocked. Isn't that the legendary Pokémon that created the world?

Mayali was startled, and then nodded: "Our ancestors had a connection with Arceus, so they were given power by him. For us, our great-grandfather was able to control that power freely. Unfortunately, we have not reached that level yet. It’s just... I don’t know how you knew?”

"That's because I also have a relationship with Arceus." Naoki replied.

Hearing this, Mayali was stunned again.

But Naoki turned his attention to Hupa.

"It's not allowed to go on like this. I can feel it. If Hupa's sealed power is directly released, that power will not merge with it, but will fight with it. The anger will devour everything, including Hupa. "

"But..." Mayali was at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, Hupa suddenly felt an aura of fear.

It quickly raised its head and looked around.

Then a sharp cry came from the sky.

That is the voice of the warrior eagle.

Mayali's eyes were filled with joy: "Brother is back!"

She couldn't wait to look at the sky and ran towards a small square ahead.

The Warrior Eagle landed on it, and Balza jumped down holding the Pot of Punishment.

"Great! You found it, you found the Pot of Punishment!" Mayali was very excited.

"Danger!" Naoki frowned.

Before anyone could react, Balza coldly opened the lid of the pot of punishment and pointed it at Hupa.

The next second, a black-purple energy surged out and enveloped Hupa's body.

Hupa then let out a cry of pain.

"ah?"

"What's going on?" Serena was a little worried.

In the light, Hupa's body continued to grow, and finally turned into a huge creature.

That look was clearly that of the original Liberated Hupa!

Balza held his head and woke up from being controlled by the Pot of Punishment.

Before everyone understood what was happening, purple energy surged out of the body of the liberating Hupa. Its eyes turned red, and it roared and stretched out its giant hand towards Balza holding the Pot of Punishment. .

As if sensing the evil energy, a burst of blue light erupted from the Pot of Punishment, forming a protective shield to protect everyone inside.

Seeing this scene, the golden halo on Jiefang Hupa slowly floated into the air. Its giant hand reached into it and broke a building forcefully, throwing it towards everyone.

"Dream, mental power!" Naoki frowned, turned around and said, "Miss Mayali, please use the Pot of Punishment to take back that power!"

"Ah? Yes!" Mayali woke up from a dream.

The dreamy mental force collided with the building, causing a huge explosion.

The huge body of Liberated Hupa rushed over through the smoke and dust.

At the critical moment, Mayali raised the pot of punishment in his hand and pointed it at it.

The next moment, a vortex appeared in the pot, absorbing the huge energy that liberated Hupa's body.

Time passed by, and when all the energy was sealed again, liberating Hupa immediately returned to punishing Hupa.

The weak Hupa staggered and fell from the air as if he had lost all his strength.

Meng Meng quickly caught it with telekinesis.

The power of liberating Hoopa's struggle caused the Pot of Punishment to fly out of Mayari's hand.

Naoki noticed that she still wanted to pick it up, and quickly stopped her loudly: "Don't touch the pot of punishment, it will control people's minds!"

Mayali quickly retracted her hand.

She looked at the mysterious man in front of her, and then at the weak Hupa, with worry on her face.

"Mr. Naoki...what on earth is going on?"
