Chapter 555: Tapu Mingming, the Secret Watcher

When the shrill sirens faded away, Kukui finally reacted.

At this moment, the look he gave Luo Mu could no longer be described as complicated.

How can I put it? When he watched his fellow apprentice, who was once his fellow disciple, being put on a silver bracelet and being taken into the police car with a confused look on his face.

His first reaction was--

There is such a method! ?
Looking at Kukui who seemed to have opened the door to a new world, Luo Mu smiled slightly. After Swampert closed the cracked ground of the Pokémon School again, he greeted him, Chengye, Oak, and Suiren, then turned and walked out of the Pokémon School.

Don't even mention how cool he looked.

Surrounded by enthusiastic friends, Shui Lian asked why Luo Mu greeted her and could only repeat that she met Luo Mu while fishing.

Kukui looked at Luo Mu's leaving back, seeming to be thinking about something.

If you think about it carefully, Guzma's behavior does meet the conditions of endangering the safety of students and provoking trouble.

After being taken away by Miss Junsha, he will probably have to stay in the detention center for a period of time, during which time there will be a special "teacher" to provide him with "psychological counseling."

Guzma's rebellious behavior is somewhat related to his experience. In addition, Mr. Hala has never had the heart to severely discipline him. Perhaps this lesson will make him restrain himself a little.
The more he thought about it, the brighter Kukui's eyes became.

Luo Mu found a brand new solution to this problem that has been giving him a headache for a long time!

While Kukui was thinking quickly, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the crown of the big tree above his head, caused by the friction between leaves and objects.

".?"

Kukui looked up in confusion, just in time to see a yellow figure emerging from the treetops.

The opponent's speed was extremely fast, and he disappeared in an instant, turning into a shadow, and the direction he disappeared in happened to be the direction Luo Mu left.

There was a faint smell of "electricity" in the air. Although the students around him were unaware of it, Kukui was able to see the true appearance of the yellow figure at that moment with his excellent eyesight.

One of the four guardian gods of the Alola region, Tapu Kokoro is the land god who lives on Melomele Island.

His master, Hala, is the king of the island of Melemele. When he was young, Kukui was fortunate enough to witness Tapu Kokoro several times, and learned some information related to him from Hala.

Tapu Kokoro is very curious and has a changeable personality. He is easily angered but quickly forgets the reason for his anger.

Tapu Kokoro is very interested in powerful trainers, and there have been many times when he stole the finished Z bracelets from Hara's room and gave them to trainers who he thinks have talent.

Could it be that because of the terrifying power of the last move, "Earth Roaring Final Move", the battle between Guzma and Romu just now even attracted the attention of Tapu Kokoro?

Not knowing what Tapu Kokoro was planning to do, Kukui was struggling over whether he should tell Luo Mu.

Although this sounds a bit strange coming from someone who was born and raised on Melemele Island.

But once Tapu Mingming is interested in someone, he will secretly follow that person and spy on him every day, just like a stalker.

For a moment, Kukui was torn between his friendship with Luomu and his respect for Tapu Kumu.

After leaving the Pokémon School, Luo Mu did not return to Akala Island immediately, but instead wandered around Melemele Island.

After seeing the students of the Pokémon School, he originally thought about having lunch at Mao's "Eina Restaurant".

But after careful recollection, he remembered that the Kentaro taxi driver mentioned that "Aina Restaurant" was not far from the villa where he lived on Akala Island, which meant that Mao should be from Akala Island.

But in the animation, she lives on Melemele Island.

In addition to the conflict between the settings of the game and the animation, Luo Mu believes that Mao might move to Melemele Island next year.

Speaking of Shui Lian, the same was true. When I met her, she was also fishing on the beach of Akala Island.

It’s weird.

Shaking his head, Luo Mu turned around and walked directly into the largest city on Melemele Island, Haole City.

As a popular tourist destination, Haole City is undoubtedly at the forefront of fashion.

Luo Mu's target was the shopping mall in Haole City. He planned to pick out some Alola-specific items and bring them back to the farm as souvenirs for the Pokémon.

By the way, you can also buy some new skirts for the Eevee sisters. Uruk-O is also craving for the "Big Malasada", so you can go to a famous restaurant to taste it.

The Alola region also has the "Konpeito" that Cosmog likes, so you can buy some and bring it back for it.

I think it will laugh happily.

The innocent smile of Cosmogu appeared in Luo Mu's mind, and he felt that his mood that was ruined by Guzma was better again.

He and Crown of Buds also had their own considerations for not bringing Cosmog along on this vacation to Alola.

Cosmogu is still essentially an "ultimate beast", and the island guardian who is more sensitive to its aura will definitely discover it.

What’s more important is that Luo Mu doesn’t want Cosmog to be involved in the problems in the Alola region, for fear that he will be targeted by Necrozma, which would cause more or less trouble.

Staying away from the vortex of struggle is also a way of life.

Of course, if Necrozma smelled the scent and came looking for him, he would probably have to get past his furious "father" the Raphimosaur before he could harm Cosmog.

Thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, Luo Mu released the Xencats and the others from the Poké Ball and walked towards the shopping plaza in a mighty manner.

I ate a large Malasada, bought some "Electric Seeds" that are a specialty of the Alola region for the Roentgen Cat and the Thunder Drum that guards the house, and bought a cute-looking apron with a totem of the Alola region for the Blade of the Flame, and there were many other things.
After almost filling up his spare space backpack, Luo Mu finally stopped his crazy spending with a sense of unsatisfied desire.

It has to be said that there is a reason why the Alola region is a popular tourist city.

Not only are the residents warm and hospitable, but the staff in the shopping mall also have excellent attitudes and handle their work very efficiently.

When Ibrahimovic's elder and younger sisters were trying on skirts, the clerk heard that Luo Mu was planning to try the malasada, so he contacted the most popular store without saying a word and delivered the steaming hot malasada to them without having to wait in line.

Look at this service attitude.

Even Luo Mu would want to come again a second time.

After strolling around Haole City for almost an afternoon, Luo Mu, still unsatisfied, rode on Dragonite towards Akala Island.

Halfway through, Dragonite suddenly shouted as if it sensed something.

"Booo ...

Its ability to control air currents is now improving, and it can even obtain some limited information through the wind. Therefore, Dragonite discovered that after leaving Akala Island, there was a strange guy following them.

However, the opponent seemed to be very clear about how far away he should keep when tracking, and Dragonite was still unable to detect his position.

Luo Mu roughly understood what Dragonite meant, so he thought for a moment and chose to give up.

"What Pokémon is following us?"

[Ding! The Pokémon following behind the host is the island guardian of Melemele Island, Tapu Kokoro] Luo Mu: “????”

No, why is Tapu Kokoro following us?
It can't be that he wants revenge for Guzma.

Luo Mu, with a confused look on his face, stopped Dragonite and looked back before the sun completely set.

But there was nothing to be seen except a cloud dyed orange by the setting sun.

In such an empty place, where can Tapu Kokoro hide?

Luo Mu even suspected that the reminder system had not been used for too long and a malfunction had occurred.

As if sensing Luo Mu's suspicion, as if to prove itself, the prompt system popped up again, accurately pointing out the location of Tapu Mingming.

It was a cloud dyed by the light of the setting sun. If you didn't look closely, ordinary people wouldn't even notice it.

But once you look closely, you can find that there is a vague outline in the cloud that shows some specific details.

But the other party reacted quickly, as if he realized that Luo Mu had discovered him. His figure shook slightly and he disappeared.

"."

Seeing this, Luo Mu had no intention of chasing after Tapu Chichi.

Not only did he not want to fight another battle today, but more importantly, if Tapu Kokoro wanted to see him, he would show up.

If you don't want to see him, there's no point in going there yourself.

It’s better to go back early and see how Gladion, the fragile young master, is doing.

I even bought some special antipyretic medicine in Haole City.

Luo Mu patted Dragonite on the back, signaling it to continue flying.

A while after they left, a figure appeared in the area where they had just stayed, hovered quietly for a while, and chose to continue flying towards Akara Island.

at the same time.

Liliae had just finished a day's classes and was picked up by her butler James. In the car, she excitedly shared what she had seen and heard today with him.

"I see. It seems that the opponent is a very powerful trainer."

James drove the car without looking around, and while the car stopped and waited for the traffic light, he responded to Liliae.

Then, he asked carefully, "So Miss, do you think you can come into contact with those three Pokémon?"

Judging from Liliae's tone, it seems that she thinks Roentgen, Dragonite, and Swampert are very handsome.

If the other party does not object, then he must contact his wife immediately and inform her of the good news.

I think the lady will immediately prepare the initial forms of the three corresponding Pokémon as a gift for the young lady.

Unfortunately, Liliae realized what James was asking and gave a forced smile with a lonely look in her eyes.

"Maybe. It may still be a little difficult."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became silent.

After apologizing for his recklessness, James drove in silence towards a large manor.

This was the residence of Liliae's family, but ever since Master Moon disappeared, Lady Lusamine had been absorbed in work all day, and Master Gladion had started to keep to himself, leaving only himself, Miss Liliae, and some servants living here.

As soon as they entered the manor and stopped the car, a hurried maid ran over and whispered in James' ear, and his expression suddenly changed.

The maid said that Master Gladion hasn't been home for several days!
Although the other party usually keeps to himself and doesn't ask them to serve him, he comes back basically every two days.

Or replenishing Pokémon's food, props for exercise, or sleeping alone in the room for half a day.

A few days ago, he noticed that Master Gladion had not shown up, so he specifically asked the maid to keep an eye out for any signs of his return.

As a result, it’s almost dark today and he still hasn’t come back!

James no longer hesitated. After taking Liliae home, he hesitated for a moment when she asked him about his concerns, and decided to keep the matter secret.

Then he drove away from the manor amid the roar of the car engine.

He planned to tell his wife the news immediately!

South of Melemele Island, in the bright chairman's office on the artificial island "Ether Paradise", the "Headquarters of the Ether Foundation".

Lusamine, who has long golden hair like a waterfall and still has a slim figure even though she has a son and a daughter, rests her well-maintained face on the desk, staring at a family photo in a daze.

However, the bright smile in the photo has not appeared in this almost falling apart family since her husband Moon disappeared, but she is powerless to do anything about it.

The rebellion of her son Gladion, the burden of finding her husband, and the operation of the Aether Foundation made Lusamine feel overwhelmed by work.

She also had to take care of the research on the Ultimate Beasts. Only her daughter Liliae, who was as well-behaved as a doll, made her feel a little relieved.

Only now could she do nothing but lie on her desk and stare blankly, recalling the happy memories of the past.

"Moen, where are you?"

Lusamine whispered, calling out her husband's name.

Although the public statement was that Moon was missing, Lusamine, who witnessed his disappearance with her own eyes, knew that it was just an excuse.

Moon was swallowed by the Ultimate Cave several years ago, and his life or death is unknown.

The reason why she was madly researching the Ultimate Cave and the Ultimate Beast was that she hoped that one day she would be able to open the Ultimate Cave and enter to find Moon.

She didn't believe that Moon would leave this home so easily.

It was because of his neglect due to being busy with work that Gladion became as if thorns grew all over his body.

After being depressed for a while, Lusamine finally pulled herself together and continued to work at her desk.

Until the arrival of butler James diverted her attention.

Looking at James, who was panting and anxious, Lusamine instinctively sensed something was wrong and frowned as she asked, "James? Why are you here at this time? Where's Lilia?"

James panted slightly, spitting at his old body, and without caring about etiquette, he told Lusamine that Gladion had not returned home for several days.

Deep down in her heart, Lusamine loves her children so much that her love even surpasses her pursuit of Ultra Beasts. Her expression changed drastically, and she stood up immediately, even raising her voice subconsciously.

"You said Gladion is missing!?"
