Chapter 454 Tapu Koko: What do you mean by "my characteristics are pirated"?
Qingyu's intuition was indeed correct.
When Tapu Koko emerged from the ruins of war and arrived at the bustling All-Powerful Celebration, he was the first person she noticed.
But the reason has nothing to do with Arceus.
However, it vaguely sensed a very subtle connection from the other party.
Tapu Koko seems to possess some trait that is the same as its own, which confuses Tapu Koko.
What do we, as humans, have in common?
However, Tapu Koko isn't the type to dwell on details; instead, it was very concerned about the battle it had just fought.
How long has it been since we've seen a human being who can truly pique our curiosity?
Thinking of this, Tapu Koko suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning once more and quickly disappeared from people's sight.
At the same time, a powerful voice suddenly entered Qingyu's ears.
I'll be waiting for you at the war ruins.
It's obvious without even guessing that this was Tapu Koko's invitation.
"They're gone—"
Not far from Qingyu, the island king Hala, whose hair had turned gray, sighed.
"So, even this year's all-out celebration didn't satisfy it?"
As a traditional festival on Melemele Island, the purpose of holding the All-Out Celebration is to convey humanity's gratitude to Tapu Koko, allowing it to enjoy wonderful times with everyone.
It is said that Tapu Koko used to dance around the campfire with humans, showing a more friendly side.
Unfortunately, he has never witnessed that scene since he was born.
As the current king of the island, his greatest wish is to hold a celebration that will satisfy Lord Tapu Naruto.
Looks like they didn't manage to do it this year either.
I don't think so.
Just as Hala shrugged and looked down, Qingyu walked over with a smile and offered words of comfort.
"Perhaps Tapu Koko is just too proud to admit it, and doesn't want to lose face in front of his friend's offspring?"
"Its appearance signifies that this year's celebration has been a success, doesn't it?"
"That's right!"
Dr. Kukui also came over and patted Hala on the shoulder.
"Perhaps for Tapu Koko, feeling our sincere gratitude is enough."
"————That's true."
Hala nodded, seemingly a little more invigorated.
However, at that moment, Qingyu suddenly spoke up: "Speaking of which, I think I just heard a telepathic message from Tapu Koko, saying that he's waiting for me at the War Remnants."
"???"
Not only Hala, but even Dr. Kukui looked shocked.
There are indeed related accounts in the legends about Tapu Koko.
This guardian deity of Melemele Island is a true martial arts fanatic. He will challenge any powerful trainer or Pokémon he deems worthy.
But this thing—it seems like it hasn't happened for many years.
Dr. Kukui looked at Aoba.
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard some rumors about "Teacher Yu" from Lillie before:
Qingyu seems to possess some incredibly bizarre ability to attract legendary Pokémon; every time he goes out, he either encounters a legendary Pokémon by chance, or his direct target is a legendary Pokémon.
So the intelligence was actually true?
Kukui was utterly shocked.
I think I played pretty well just now, even though I lost in the end, at least I showed some style, right?
Why can't I hear Tapu Koko's voice?
That's valuable data on legendary Pokémon!
To reach the war relics from Lili town, you need to pass through an ancient road called "Mahara Mountain Road".
That's right, it's the location in the opening CG of Sun and Moon where Lillie's Nebula is being besieged.
In fact, Aoba had never quite understood why Lillie, who lived at the Dr.'s research institute at the foot of the mountain, would appear on the road leading to the top of the mountain.
This road clearly only has one end point: the ruins of war.
And—it's really dangerous.
The wooden bridge, made of countless thick ropes and planks, swayed precariously. Looking down at the bottomless torrent below, Qingyu felt that crossing this bridge wasn't absolutely necessary.
So he simply dispatched his "Ai-chan" Salamence, choosing to fly by air to the war ruins.
As for Tapu Koko, he had been waiting there for quite some time.
Therefore, as soon as Qingyu landed, she immediately received a telepathic message from the other party.
Why do I feel a sense of familiarity about you, stranger?
Tapu Koko is outspoken, and its personality is just like the lightning bolt it just transformed into—straightforward yet unpredictable.
Qingyu scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then asked in return, "Is it related to Arceus?"
Upon hearing the name of the creator of this world, Tapu Koko was clearly taken aback and subconsciously focused his attention.
Sure enough, I hadn't noticed before—this human did indeed carry the aura of that great one.
Strictly speaking, it and the other island gods were not directly created by the Creator, and therefore do not possess power comparable to those powerful beings.
However, it wouldn't be a problem to say that they are creations of that great being, since whether they are humans or any other kind of Pokémon, they are all inevitable results of the rules.
But this wasn't the answer it was looking for, so Tapu Koko shook its head.
Even the messenger of that great one could not possibly feel so familiar to me.
However, since you possess such a distinguished status, please state your name, and I will remember it.
"My name is Qingyu."
Qingyu nodded, not disliking Tapu Koko's direct statement.
This kind of communication, which avoids unnecessary chatter, is quite efficient.
However, if it has nothing to do with Arceus—
This universal strategy against legendary Pokémon failed for the first time, leaving Qingyu, who had gradually developed a path dependency on it, somewhat bewildered.
Could the similarities between him and Tapu Koko actually refer to someone other than himself?
Following this line of thought, he thought about it carefully for a while, and then his expression suddenly became a little strange. He glanced at Tapu Koko with a strangely comical look.
Tapu Koko: ?
For some reason, it suddenly felt a bit angry at the arrogance of the young man in front of it.
"I think I've found the answer."
But soon, Qingyu's words caught Tapu Koko's attention.
Suddenly, he took a special Poké Ball out of his pocket and gently pressed the trigger.
"Gah?"
After a flash of red light, a large, technologically advanced, purple lizard made entirely of metal appeared in Tapu Koko's line of sight.
Along with it, there was also the electrical energy that quietly dissipated from beneath its feet, quickly spreading in all directions until the entire surface of the war remnant was covered by an electrical field, occasionally emitting crackling sounds of electricity.
Tapu Koko: ? ? ?
Isn't this my special ability? So there are other Pokémon that can freely control the generation of Electric Terrain?
Looking at the bewildered expression on its face, Qingyu suddenly had an urge to say to it, "My lord, times have changed!"
However, in order to leave a better impression on the island's guardian, he forced himself to suppress his laughter.
Actually, you can't blame Tapu Koko for feeling strange; you can only blame Arceus (GF) for being too biased!
In the Sun and Moon era, the four island gods dominated the game by having the advantage of having four major fields at the start, becoming the core members of most teams.
At that time, apart from the four legendary Pokémon, there were no other Pokémon with the Terrain Maker ability.
But by the time of the sword and shield—
After the ability and moves were distributed, even the common roadside sea urchin can now have the same ability as Tapu Koko.
Of course, it's not the worst case.
It's worth noting that Tapu Bulu's presence was completely wiped out by Raptor's Grassy Slide, making it almost impossible to find this Pokémon anymore.
As for what comes next, it's naturally Millerton's turn to face off against Tapu Koko.
The key feature of Milton is its hadron engine, but while it's considered a single feature, it can actually be broken down into two parts.
First, like the "Electrical Maker" trait, it has the special effect of laying out an electrical field upon entering the battlefield.
But Milton's power doesn't stop there.
When it stands on an electric field, its special attack is also significantly boosted.
This is the power of the new era, as powerful as that lousy horse king who rides a horse across the bountiful snowfield and insists he is a Pokémon!
If we're talking about sheer power and strength, Tapu Koko is the one who's using a pirated ability!
'
For some reason, Tapu Koko always felt that the human named Aoba was looking at him rudely.
But it seems there's really nothing we can do about him.
Tapu Koko was naturally itching to fight, and when he noticed that such a skilled fighter had arrived on Melemele Island, he became a little more interested.
But after learning that he was Arceus's messenger—
He immediately became listless.
There's no way around it; the Creator is still too authoritative. Even humans, who have gained His approval, are, in a sense, agents of His will.
Surely no fool would want to continue fighting him after recognizing his identity?
What should we do then?
Tapu Koko pulled his gaze away from Aoba and looked at the listless Milton he had summoned.
This guy—he seems to be quite something.
Despite possessing terrifying strength, even surpassing his own, he gave off a completely "invisible" feeling.
If you don't pay special attention to it, you might subconsciously overlook its existence.
That is precisely why it appears so powerful.
If I could, I'd love to fight this guy!
"Gah?"
Millerton didn't seem to understand the situation or why Qingyu would send him out.
But anyway, it's all the same no matter where you are, so it doesn't really matter.
Under Tapu Koko's battle-ready gaze, Milton completely ignored its presence, taking heavy steps to reach Qingyu's back in a few strides, and then unleashing a tiger-like descent from the mountain—
He sat down on the ground and yawned towards Tapu Koko.
,
Does the other party not take me seriously at all?
Tapu Koko felt provoked, and his expression turned angry.
"Look, you're in such a hurry again."
Qingyu reached out at the opportune moment, spreading her palm to block its view, and continued speaking with a smile.
"Ignore those trivial matters, Tapu Koko."
"Actually, I came to Alola to see you all."
Why?
Seeing that Qingyu had spoken, Tapu Koko went along with it, temporarily ignoring the iron lizard that was making him angry, and turned to ask him.
Qingyu smiled without speaking, and after a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Tap Koko, I'm here to negotiate!"
After saying that, under the other party's somewhat confused and strange gaze, Qingyu took out two Z-pure crystals from her pocket, placed them in her palm, and handed them to it.
"I want to know, can a Z-Crystal Ore containing no type energy, combined with Eevee's signature Z-Crystal, be used to create a brand new Z-Crystal suitable for Sylveon?"
After chatting for a while, Qingyu finally got to the point.
Tapu Koko didn't directly agree or refuse, but instead reached out and took the two Z-Crystals from the other person's hand.
At the same time, it also noticed the Z-powerful bracelet on Qingyu's wrist and immediately recognized its unusual nature.
Z-Moves are limited to use in Alola because only in the vicinity of Alola is there a sufficient Ultra Vibe, and only in such an environment can Z-Moves be charged.
But Qingyu's bracelet always maintained an abundant ultimate aura.
Of course, after all, he is that person's messenger, and the entire world was created by him, so it is normal that he can create things that other beings cannot understand.
Tapu Koko turned his attention to the two Z-Crystals.
Indeed, as Qingyu said, one of them is a Z-Crystal that has already been finalized, and only a specific Pokémon can activate its power.
The other one was a rough stone that they had almost never seen before.
It contains no impurities and no energy intrusion; it can be described as flawless.
It's important to know that even Primogems used to create exclusive Z-Moves have distinct attribute biases, which is why exclusive Z-Moves are so rare.
But if this raw stone existed—
It might actually be possible.
The island guardians were given Z-power after a great battle, thus possessing the ability to craft Z-Rings and Z-Crystals by hand. Tapu Koko was clearly intrigued at this moment.
[You're planning to create a custom Z-Crystal for your Sylveon, right?]
"Yes!"
Qingyu nodded. He vaguely sensed that the mission was accomplished, and thus became slightly excited.
Eevee Z-Move "Rainbow Ascension" already gives a +2 to all stats, so imagine what would happen if we got a Sylveon Z-Move – it would give a +6 to all stats!
Ah!
"...
Tapu Koko glanced at Aoba, who had become agitated, and was speechless for a moment.
Although the other person didn't speak, their expression conveyed their guess.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
Tapu Koko shook his head.
If there were no restrictions on the creation of Z-Crystals, when the four island gods created "Giants Guardian Alola" for themselves, they would have simply used a powerful brick-like attack to wipe out all of the opponent's stamina in one go.
But obviously, what can't be done is simply impossible.
The more powerful the attack, the heavier the burden on the Z-Crystal.
Furthermore, a foundational move is required before a unique Z-Move can be unleashed.
Tapu Koko reminded Aoba somewhat impatiently.
Still hoping for a windfall? You'd be better off asking the Creator God for help; only He could do something like that!
"Oh, I see. What a pity—"
Qingyu sighed, but quickly regained her composure.
That makes sense. What if your Z-Move is too powerful and overpowered, and no one wants to battle you anymore?
In order to deceive and gain more powerful opponents, one should not be too greedy.
