Chapter 456 Kona: Let me see what's going on with Ultra Beasts?
Two days passed quickly.
Regarding the upcoming appearance of Ultra Beasts, Aoba naturally informed Dr. Kukui, the current head of the Alola League, as soon as possible and received his full cooperation.
For the Alolans, Ultra Beasts have always been a major headache—
They have appeared in the written records of the ancient Alora royal family since the earliest known civilization, and were called "monsters that destroy everything" by humans.
No one can predict when they will attack, nor do they know where they will appear; there is absolutely no pattern to it.
All people know is that when Ultra Beasts are about to appear, the sky will be suddenly torn apart, creating a passage large enough for them to squeeze out and descend upon an island in Alola.
The reason why the four island gods are so revered by humans in the Alola region is largely due to their bravery and fearlessness in the face of Ultra Beasts, which have resolved many major crises that were extremely difficult for humans to handle.
However, this time, it was Qingyu who solved the problem.
Because he was someone Tapu Koko approved of, Professor Kukui had no doubts about his words and immediately activated the emergency evacuation plan, ordering the Pokémon and staff of Ohana Ranch to evacuate in advance, leaving Qingyu with a battlefield where he could do whatever he wanted.
but.
When Qingyu was about to leave the Haonohaono Resort and head to a nearby place where they were waiting for the arrival of the Ultra Beasts, she encountered an "old acquaintance" she was meeting for the first time.
"Oh, isn't this Teacher Yu?"
Outside the hotel, Qingyu, who was about to launch his Salamence, turned around and looked at the red-haired woman in a swimsuit who was walking towards him and greeting him. He blinked unconsciously.
"Miss Kona?"
He blurted it out subconsciously, but then immediately changed his mind after suddenly feeling the surrounding temperature drop sharply, as if he had been subjected to a suffocating environment of absolute zero.
The newcomer was none other than Lorelei, the ice queen of the Kanto Alliance!
"Just call me Cona."
Kona had already arrived in front of Qingyu, and without paying attention to his slightly impolite remark, she continued with a smile.
"I was going to say 'long time no see,' but then I realized it seems like this is the first time we've met."
"However, I did receive some help from Yu-sensei in Pokémon Champion."
"Not at all, I was just offering some suggestions. Whether it will be helpful or not depends on Miss Kona herself."
Qingyu waved his hand modestly.
A few months ago, he ran into Lorelei during a live stream and introduced her to Alolan Ninetales, who he thought could be developed as a core member of his team.
The conversation between the two just now naturally revolved around this matter.
Although I didn't react immediately, Kona's appearance was indeed quite normal.
After all, this tournament held in Alola is an Ice-type Masters Tournament, which is a perfect fit for Lorelei.
The Attribute Master Tournament is held three times a year, and six years have passed since then, with all attributes having gone through the tournament. Generally, trainers who are good at their respective attributes will not miss the opportunity.
For Kona, there must be a deeper reason as well —
As far as I remember, not long after Crimson became the champion, she and Grandma Kiku retired one after the other, so this should be the last tournament that Kona participated in, and naturally there is no reason for her to give up.
Furthermore, it would be even better if we could also showcase the Alola Ninetales we caught earlier on the international stage.
"Actually, besides expressing my gratitude, I also have something important to discuss with Teacher Yu."

After exchanging a few words with Qingyu, Kona got down to business and stated her purpose: "I heard from Adu that Teacher Yu is planning to deal with a problem called 'Ultra Beast'?"
"So, do you need any help?"
After saying that, Kona pointed to herself and gave a confident smile.
"Although I'm not a professional police officer like A-Du, I'm still a very reliable older sister~"
Akala Island, Ohana Ranch.
This area was originally Alora's largest livestock base, and most of the raw materials for dairy products on the four islands came from here.
It must be said that, thanks to the existence of Pokémon, all kinds of ingredients in this world are very unique. For example, Miltank's "MooMoo Milk" is a highly nutritious drink for any living being.
However, due to the crisis of Ultra Beasts, Ohana Ranch is now completely empty, with only the empty playground remaining.
"I never imagined that Teacher Yu would have the ability to predict the location of the Ultimate Void?"
Parallel with Aoba in the sky, Kona, riding Articuno, adjusted her glasses and looked at the calm young man on the other side.
"It was just borrowing the power of the Twin Dragons of Time and Space."
Qingyu gave a casual answer while keeping her attention on her Articuno.
The three legendary birds theoretically exist in groups, as they can be found in every region, and they also have a special form in Galar.
But the one that Kona tamed was extraordinary in terms of its aura.
It is highly likely to be a direct subordinate of Lugia, the god of the sea, and like the Moltres revered by the Kanto Alliance, it is the most powerful individual in its kind.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone other than myself who can travel with a legendary Pokémon.
In some ways, male/female mythical beasts are even rarer than mythical beasts themselves.
Qingyu couldn't help but think about it, but she didn't dwell on it too much.
Legend has it that although Pokémon are rare, when they encounter a trainer they respect, they are willing to follow them through a human's short life.
For example, the two heroes of the Galar region, and the black and white dragons of the Unova region.
"The Sinnoh Time-Space Twin Dragons?"
Kona blinked, a hint of surprise flashing across her face before she quickly recovered.
As expected of Teacher Yu, she gave an answer that was hard to imagine with ease.
However, she had heard some rumors about what happened in Sinnoh, so she knew that Aoba was definitely not lying.
If he can summon legendary Pokémon for help, then mere Ultra Beasts are indeed not a problem.
Legendary Pokémon are so powerful that there is an almost insurmountable gap in strength between them and ordinary Pokémon.
Even if Articuno, which is willing to accompany me, is just a familiar of Lugia, the sea god, its strength is enough to overwhelm the champion's main Pokémon.
As for those legends born alongside the world, their power is only more terrifying.
If Teacher Fan Yu can command the Sinnoh Three Dragons to fight, any champion would probably be mercilessly crushed by him.
However, this wouldn't be interesting for trainers.
The two quickly landed at Ohana Ranch, and Qingyu immediately noticed the unusual aura in the sky.
Although no abnormalities have been found yet, the gradually increasing ultimate aura tells him that a special phenomenon called "Ultimate Hole" will soon appear in the sky.
"Is it coming? The extradimensional visitor recorded by the international police as UB (UltraBeast)?"
Kona looked up, her expression showing obvious curiosity.
Because she accepted Wataru's request, she also learned some information about Ultra Beasts.
They are the number one enemy of the International Police stationed in Alola. Each Ultra Beast is as powerful as a Champion Ace and has monstrous stamina.
Not only do we need to use a series of attacks to wear them down, but even after defeating them, we must use the "Ultimate Ball" specially made by the Aether Foundation to temporarily suppress them and find an opportunity to open the Ultimate Hole to send them back to their own world.
As for subjugating them for one's own use—such examples do exist, but they are extremely rare.
After all, according to Adu, they are creatures whose instinct is destruction.
In their world, the ultimate aura is as abundant as air, while life force is extremely scarce, a stark contrast to the world today.
Therefore, if the Ultra Beasts want to survive, they must enter into an endless struggle for energy.
Even after arriving in this world, their habits will not disappear instantly, and they will still indiscriminately attack the life around them.
It's hard to imagine that such a cruel world exists.
After Qingyu and Kona stared at the sky for about two minutes, a deep purple crack soon appeared in the low sky and continued to expand outward until it formed an iridescent hole.
It was as if that space had been forcibly torn apart from the outside, but it was different from Palkia's way of traversing space, and it looked very violent.
"It's coming!"
Qingyu narrowed his eyes, ready to send out his Pokémon at any moment.
Kona, standing to the side, adjusted her glasses again and looked at Articuno behind her.
Please.
"Hey——!"
Articuno also sensed the impending danger and was therefore on high alert.
Click—crack!
Strange noises came from the ultimate void, which was rainbow-colored and stretched to an unknown end. Then, a spiral needle emerged from it.
Then, with another burst of crimson iron fist, space was suddenly shattered, and a giant mosquito monster covered in bulging muscles, exuding an oppressive aura, descended from the universe and hovered in the air, flapping its wings.
It's a muscle-bursting mosquito?
When Qingyu saw the strange needle, he already knew the answer in his heart, and at the same time breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although the Exploding Muscle Mosquito was strong, it did not have any troublesome abilities. It was best at defeating its opponents with strength.
There's no mechanism, it's all just numbers.
Therefore, as long as it is not allowed to use its needle to absorb energy from other organisms, it should be considered one of the easiest Ultra Beasts to deal with.
"UB02: Inflatable, Inflatable Pokémon, Buzzwole————"
Kona recalled the information she had obtained from Wataru and quickly confirmed her opponent.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think that the Buzzwole's attributes seemed to be Bug + Fighting?
I should have dragged Adu over too; that guy would definitely know how to deal with it.
However, since things have come to this point, there's no other way but to go ahead.
Seeing that Buzzwole was already rolling its compound eyes in the air, clearly searching for its prey, Lorelei and Blue Feather didn't hesitate any longer and launched their attack simultaneously: "Articuno, Absolute Zero!"
"Go, Salamence!"
Faced with the Ultra Beasts invading their world, there's no need for martial arts in a 1v1 fight. The correct solution is to defeat them as quickly as possible before they cause serious harm and to restrict their movements with Ultra Balls.
"Crack!!!"
Salamence makes a dazzling appearance and immediately roars at the Buzzwole in the sky.
As the king of the sky, it would never allow any other creature to fly higher than itself, and would make it look up to it!
—Except for trainers!
The Intimidate ability was activated silently, immediately attracting Buzzwole's attention and intimidating it with Salamence's powerful aura.
That brief moment of hesitation was enough for Articuno to unleash its signature move, "Screech!!!"
Articuno flapped its wings, which were covered in countless frosts, with all its might. The biting cold air was instantly activated, and the water vapor in the air instantly froze, turning into a sword of ice that stretched forward.
"Buzz—"
By the time Buzzwole realized what was happening, it was too late to dodge. It could only instinctively raise its fists to block Articuno's attack.
In the game, a Pokémon hit by Absolute Zero will instantly lose all its HP.
However, it is clear that the physical constitution of Pokémon in reality cannot be generalized.
Buzzwole not only forcefully swallowed Articuno's special move with its arms, but also seemed completely unaffected.
With just a slight exertion of its arms, the instantly expanding muscles shook off all the ice shards that had adhered to the attack, while the severely frostbitten skin quickly regained its color and healed at a visible speed.
"So it wasn't that simple after all—"
Kona sighed.
She and Qingyu coordinated very well just now, and Articuno's absolute zero attack power is beyond doubt.
However, for an Ultra Beast with extremely abundant stamina, it can only be considered an appetizer.
No wonder it's called a monster.
"Buzz"
After being attacked, the Buzzwole instantly locked onto the area below, immediately flapped its wings and charged downwards, aiming its bulging fists at the Articuno attacking it.
It didn't seem to be moving very fast, but it was faintly shimmering with an orange light.
That move is—Enhancement?
Qingyu narrowed his eyes and immediately realized what was happening: "Salamander, use Terrifying Face to slow it down!"
"Articuno, Hurricane!"
Kona and he gave the instructions almost simultaneously.
"Click!"
Salamence's roar and glare successfully attracted Buzzwole's attention, but Articuno's hurricane that followed failed to interrupt its actions.
Perhaps due to its high muscle density, even when hit by a blistering storm and instantly covered in blood, the bursting mosquito continued its forward attack.
However, its speed was slightly affected by Salamence, giving Articuno a chance to flap its wings and dive down to avoid its attack.
Despite the righteous two-on-one attack, Buzzwole quickly recovered from its injuries and seemed even more eager to fight, but with the help of Salamence, its various abilities were indeed weakened.
Since it's a war of attrition, if we continue to wear it down like this, defeating it is only a matter of time.
Qingyu had this plan; from the beginning, he never expected to be able to resolve the battle quickly.
When the time is right, let Salamence complete its Mega Evolution to further accelerate its stamina consumption.
Everything was going according to his plan.
until----
"Butterfly—"
A somewhat confused and dissatisfied voice came from behind, which immediately startled Qingyu.
He instinctively turned around and discovered that a pink demon had appeared behind him at some point, looking at him with great interest.
(Pink-faced but cunning little devil, Tapu Lele)
