Chapter 457 Tapu Lele: This person is so rude, but I like him so much!
"Butterfly—"
When Qingyu turned her head and saw the pink demon's curious eyes, she suddenly had the illusion of having a heart attack and subconsciously took a step back.
Tapu Lele, whose role is similar to Tapu Koko's, is the island guardian deity of Akara.
Although its pink appearance and innocent smile should easily make a good first impression, it is easy to form a positive first impression.
But in reality—Tapu Chocho is the most troublesome little guy in Aoba's eyes.
"Qingyu, don't get distracted."
While Qingyu was in a daze, Lorelei was trying her best to direct Articuno and Buzzwole to deal with each other.
Noticing that his commands had stopped, Kona also turned her head, ready to remind him to stay focused.
Then, they saw the strange Pokémon that was almost touching Qingyu's face.
Its lower body is encased in a pink, cocoon-like shell, with only its slender upper body exposed. Its hands and body resemble a stick figure from a cheap cartoon.
Apart from her black upper body, the rest of her body was entirely a girlish pink, coupled with her bright, blinking, iridescent eyes and a distinctly fragrant scent—
so cute!
Kona's long-dormant girlish heart suddenly beat again, and she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses. The focus now was not on it, but on the muscle-bursting mosquito!
Qingyu also realized what was happening and immediately looked at Tapu Lele in front of her, speaking as softly as possible, "Lord Tapu Lele, could you please help me deal with that Ultra Beast from another world?"
"Butterfly?"
Perhaps it was because Qingyu gave it a decent first impression, Tapu Lele, which he had "arranged," subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing and immediately noticed Buzzwole, which was being entangled in a battle between Articuno and Salamence in the air.
Without any hesitation, Tapu Lele crossed her arms and shook her head vigorously.
""
???
Not to mention Qingyu, even Kona was shocked by its rejection.
Wait, didn't Lance say that the Alola Island God would help them deal with the Ultra Beasts? Why is it different from the information?
Is that really how it is?
Qingyu wasn't so surprised.
Not only because Tapu Koko had warned him before, but also because he knew Tapu Lele's personality very well.
The four island gods are the guardian deities of the islands and the embodiment of nature in Alola.
However, nature itself has a very contradictory nature, and this is also reflected in them.
Tapu Koko is always full of curiosity and eager to battle unknown powerful opponents, and may even provoke other people or Pokémon for this reason.
Tapu Amu has a calm and collected personality, but once angered, it will not let things go easily and can occasionally be very impulsive.
Tapu Fini is reserved and the most benevolent island deity to humans, but its approach is often accompanied by disaster.
As for Tapu Lele —
The word "chaos" is enough to summarize it.
It possesses both innocent and cruel traits, and no one knows what the consequences of its capricious behavior will be, nor can anyone fathom its thoughts.
When it's in a good mood, the scales it releases are a good medicine that can revitalize the body and heal any disease or injury;
But when it's in a bad mood, its scales can "mediate disputes."
As for the solution, all we need to do is exhaust everyone and all the Pokémon, then there will be no more conflict!
Don't be fooled by Tapu Lele's seemingly good mood; who can truly guess what's on its mind?
That's very difficult.
Perhaps it didn't want to deal with the Buzzwole, simply because it found the insects annoying and didn't want to get its hands dirty. So Qingyu decisively gave up thinking, ignored its existence, and cooperated with Kona again.
"Salamander, trap it with Flame Vortex!"
"Articuno, keep using Hurricane to chip away at its health!"
"Buzz—!"
In the sky, Buzzwole, which had gradually gotten used to fighting two Pokémon at once, began to think and quickly realized that the two Pokémon had different roles.
Even though it couldn't understand human language, its intelligence allowed it to discover that the bird covered in frost was the main attacker, while the other one seemed to be merely a distraction.
So, there's no need to worry about it!
After figuring everything out, Buzzwole immediately burst out of the vortex of flames spewed by Salamence, enduring Articuno's hurricane attack and continuing its charge.
"Hey——!"
Compared to close combat, Articuno is clearly better at using energy attacks to harass, so upon discovering its intention, it immediately stopped attacking, flapped its wings and circled upwards, and began chasing Buzzwole in the air.
"A great opportunity!"
Qingyu narrowed his eyes and made a gesture to the Flying Dragon.
Salamence was indeed playing a support role, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a threat to Buzzwole.
Since we've ignored it, we should seize this rare opportunity and end the battle as soon as possible!
"Salamander, Mega Evolve while performing Dragon Dance!"
Qingyu immediately gave instructions.
Salamence can control the timing of its Mega Evolution, so it's not difficult for it to perform a power-up while evolving.
"Click!"
The Salamence, which had been feeling stifled for so long, suddenly shone with white light, which quickly formed a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
At the same moment Qingyu subconsciously covered her eyes—
Poke, poke~
Feeling Tapu Lele's repeated little movements behind him, Qingyu was speechless for a moment.
What exactly is it trying to do? And should I even pay attention to it?
If I ignore it, what if Tapu Lele gets angry because of my "silent treatment" and falls asleep as the trainer who is helping it?
But if you get caught up in a fight with it, you'll have to be distracted during the battle.
What a troublesome fellow! No wonder even Tapu Koko, its companion, looked helpless when it was mentioned!
After thinking for a moment, taking advantage of Salamence using Dragon Dance, Qingyu quickly turned around and looked at Tapu Lele, who was still smiling and looking at him with curious eyes.
"Since you're not planning to help, you can wait until I've dealt with that Ultra Beast before you say anything!"
Qingyu suppressed her dissatisfaction and spoke to it in a calm tone.
He then continued to ignore it and instead looked at the Buzzwole, which was engaged in an "ace air battle" with Articuno in the sky.
"Butterfly?"
It seems they didn't expect Qingyu's attitude to be so indifferent?
Tapu Lele's smile froze instantly, and her cheeks quickly puffed out, clearly showing her displeasure.
No human has ever dared to treat me like this before. In the past, any human who had the good fortune to see me had shown utmost respect and even dared not look me in the eye.
But it was precisely this human who had shown some interest to it that displayed a perfunctory attitude that infuriated it.
etc----
Is it possible that he is special because his attitude is different from that of other humans?
Tapu Lele, who was sulking and thinking about how to punish this wicked human who ignored her, suddenly realized something, and her expression instantly reversed 180 degrees, and she laughed again.
That must be it!
All those humans who only pray to themselves are not as interesting as the person in front of you!
This person seems to be called Qingyu?
Recalling how another human had addressed him earlier, Tapu Lele couldn't help but let out a soft hum.
It's rare to encounter a human who interests me. I really want to make him my follower. It would be great if he could play with me.
There used to be humans who were willing to play with me, but later, for some reason, they all became very afraid of me.
I didn't do anything!
Tapu Lele shook her head, temporarily giving up on recalling those memories that had angered it.
Come to think of it, eliminating that mosquito should have been my job?
Although I don't understand why these two humans would take the initiative to do the work for me, they must have realized that Tapu Chocho was working very hard!
What a good child!
So, since he said he would chat with me later, I'll just wait a couple of minutes!
This was the limit of Tapu Lele's patience!
Its gaze fell on Qingyu, quietly waiting for the other to deal with the annoying mosquito.
For some reason, Qingyu suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
It felt like I was being targeted by something dirty.
His intuition told him that it must be related to Tapu Lele, who had suddenly fallen silent.
"Not only will you not help, but you also have to keep an eye on me from behind, putting even more pressure on me?" Tapu Lele sighed inwardly. Then, Qingyu looked up at Salamence, which had completed its Mega Evolution and whose aura had suddenly surged, and immediately made a decision—
Let's finish this quickly. If we drag it out, the Buzzwole side might not have any problems, but Tapu Lele, this unstable factor, could make the situation more complicated at any time!
"Salamander, chase after it and use Hyper Voice!"
"Click!"
Whether before or after evolution, Salamence is a very standard dual-wielding attacker, capable of learning a wide variety of physical and special attack moves.
After its temporary Mega Evolution, it gained a flying skin and was clearly more intimidating when facing Buzzwole.
The original ordinary sound transformed into a flight-type sound when energy was condensed within the body, thus gaining even greater power.
The Muscle Buzzard is clearly a traditional body-building expert. Even if he can withstand the storm with his strong muscles, he has no way to deal with "magical attacks" like sonic waves.
Just like how mosquito bites aren't usually that uncomfortable, but if they keep buzzing in your ear in the middle of the night, they can cause hundreds of times more mental harm.
Now, Qingyu chooses to repay this hatred a hundredfold!
"Crack!!!"
After being enhanced by both Dragon Dance and Mega Evolution, Salamence not only reached a new level of speed, but the sonic waves it emitted were also completely different from before.
"Articulated birds, stay away from them!"
Lorelei reacted immediately and commanded Articuno to keep its distance to avoid being accidentally injured.
But the muscle-bursting mosquito is in a much worse situation~
"Buzz—?!!"
Originally chasing Articuno, it suddenly felt a series of demonic sounds erupting in its head, and instinctively turned its head to look at Salamence pouncing towards it.
Are you planning to use these little tricks to distract me again?
At first, Buzzwole didn't intend to pay any attention to Salamence, but as the sound drew closer, its brain began to vibrate under the sonic waves, making it extremely difficult to even concentrate, let alone catch up with Articuno.
If this continues, I'll be driven crazy by this sooner or later!
It immediately changed direction and suddenly charged towards the Salamence that was deliberately keeping a certain distance from it.
But to Salamence, whose speed had increased to match that of lightning, its previously weakened speed was pitifully slow.
Without even expending much effort, Salamence simply flapped its wings slightly, instantly creating a significant gap between itself and Buzzwole.
However, they were not too far apart, always maintaining a "social distance" that allowed the burrs to hear their own rough howls.
"Buzz!!!"
Buzzwole's movements became increasingly agitated, but it was still unable to close the distance with Salamence even an inch.
When unable to get close to its opponent, its muscular physique becomes useless, and its sharp mandibles are unable to plunder life energy from its body.
So—after much deliberation, the burr-like mosquito instantly looked down.
Previously, it seemed that every time these two troublesome guys took action, it was accompanied by the voices of humans below.
In other words, if we take care of them first, those two might immediately panic and lose their composure?
Buzzwole had no time to think; it couldn't comprehend the relationship between humans and Pokémon. All it knew was that it needed to find a target to plunder life energy to replenish the stamina it had lost in the battle.
So it immediately took action, flapping its wings and attacking downwards.
If it were an average trainer, they might instinctively feel panic when they see a Pokémon charging towards them.
But Kona is a "super Kanto person," and Aoba also has experience in no-rules brawls.
Therefore, the actions of the burr mosquito did not frighten them at all; instead, they made the two of them smile.
"Finally, they've taken the bait."
Because Buzzwole had been in the air the whole time, the two were worried that it would fly away from the island and get out of control, so they could only command flying Pokémon to fight.
But once it has the idea of landing, the battle will only become easier.
"Go, Abbot!"
"I'm leaving it to you, Alola Ninetales!"
Before Buzzwole could land, two more Pokémon appeared.
In order to recover its depleted strength as quickly as possible, the burly mosquito chose to sprint at full speed, and naturally, it was too late to stop.
Therefore, "Emotional control, hypnosis!"
"Mmm~"
Under Mewtwo's guidance, Indeedee's sister, though unable to learn Dark Hole, became quite adept at using hypnosis.
They even developed a tactic that incorporates hypnosis into mental spaces to expand its reach.
Besides completely exhausting their stamina, there are certainly easier ways to make Ultra Beasts behave.
For example, making them temporarily lose consciousness?
"Buzz—?"
After being hit squarely in the face with hypnosis, the already exhausted Bursting Mosquito quickly fell into a deep sleep, and its attack was interrupted.
Its incredibly dense, muscular body crashed heavily to the ground, and then Qingyu struck it squarely on the head with the Ultimate Ball he had taken from Dr. Kukui.
Because it was asleep, it had no ability to resist and was easily sucked into the ball.
The crisis was thus resolved.
but----
"Butterfly—?"
Tapu Lele's attention had already shifted from Blue Feather to the fluffy, adorable Pokémon he had summoned, and she puffed out her cheeks again.
Why does that little guy use the same mental field as me?
I have a vague feeling of unease!
