It was Chen Kai who reminded Tapu Bulu.
At this moment, he had already put on his mask and was wearing an invisibility cloak.
However, he did not activate the invisibility function. After all, Nihilego also has invisibility, and if Tapu Bulu accidentally injured him, it would be troublesome.
When they first discovered the first Nihilego, Acerola and Gengar were really startled.
Gengar immediately threw a Shadow Ball. Chen Kai didn't know how much damage it caused, but this action angered Nihilego, which immediately retaliated with a Power Gem.
Acerola was protected by Gengar, and a Mimikyu always followed her, so she was safe and sound.
But it was Chen Kai who suffered. Some of the Power Gems flew towards him.
Xiao Mei, Hydrapple, and Green had already gone through a round of battle and were exhausted, with little strength left.
In desperation, Chen Kai could only send out Seadra and have it use Bubble Beam to block the attack.
At the same time, he turned around and told Iron Bundle and the others in their Poké Balls that it was just residual impact, not a big problem, and to stay inside for now.
He also protected the panicked Swablu.
Seadra stood in a relatively safe position, exerting all its strength to emit swift and dense bubbles.
The bubbles and the brown Power Gems fiercely collided in the air, causing a series of small explosions, successfully shattering two brown beams in mid-air, and deflecting two other beams,
which smashed into the sand nearby, creating two charred craters.
However, Nihilego's level far exceeded Seadra's level.
The last beam, also the most tricky Power Gem, with a strange trajectory and full power, narrowly grazed past the Bubble Beam's interception, dragging a deadly brown tail flame, and heavily smashed into the sand less than a foot from Chen Kai's feet.
"Boom—!!!"
The deafening explosion almost shattered his eardrums.
The violent Rock-type energy shockwave, like a heavy hammer, slammed heavily onto Chen Kai's back.
"Ugh!" Chen Kai groaned, feeling an irresistible force strike him. His feet instantly left the ground, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tumbling awkwardly in a dizzying spin, finally crashing heavily into a dense bush and thick pile of fallen leaves at the edge of the nearby forest.
"Cough! Cough, cough..."
After several seconds, Chen Kai, seeing stars, struggled to raise his head from a pile of broken branches and rotten leaves, coughing violently and spitting out sand and rotten grass from his mouth.
He turned his head and saw a large hole in the back of his clothes, but fortunately, he was not injured; not even his skin was scratched.
Sometimes Chen Kai really felt that he had mutated, especially after eating the third legendary seasoning in France. He felt that he was becoming more and more resistant to Pokemon attacks.
Ordinary knives, spears, and clubs could still injure him, but attacks containing Pokemon attribute energy mostly failed to break his skin. He felt that he had truly become a "Super Pallet Town Person."
The Swablu, which had been extremely restless, flapping and screaming, causing trouble, was now unusually quiet.
Its small body was tightly curled up in Chen Kai's sandy arms, its cotton-like wings trembling slightly, and its small eyes stared unblinkingly at Chen Kai's close-up face.
Seadra also rushed over, looking displeased at Swablu.
It knew in its heart that if it weren't for this troublemaker, it and Chen Kai would be comfortably staying in the B&B right now, instead of suffering this torment.
Chen Kai didn't think much and said, "I'm fine, you two go back into your Poké Balls first."
He then recalled both Swablu and Seadra.
Taking advantage of the chaos to put on his invisibility cloak, he saw a large black bull without feet and a red pot lid on its head appear in the sky. It was Tapu Bulu.
Chen Kai was not surprised. After all, Tapu Bulu is the guardian deity of Ula'ula Island. Since the Ultra Beasts had invaded its home, it would certainly come to protect the island.
Immediately after Tapu Bulu appeared, it knocked that Nihilego flying with a single move.
Chen Kai considered that whether in games or anime, Nihilego usually appears in groups, so he casually reminded them that there might be more than one.
Who knew that his words would come true? In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Nihilego indeed appeared out of thin air.
The Nihilego were also helpless. They knew there was a powerful entity on this island, but this world was too beautiful, much more comfortable than where they originally lived, and there were humans, beings they could parasitize. If they wanted to settle here, they had to deal with the powerful Tapu Bulu.
So, they sent one Nihilego to lure Tapu Bulu out, while the others ambushed, planning a sneak attack. However, Chen Kai saw through their plan, so they had no choice but to show themselves and confront him head-on.
"Buzz—!!!"
Piercing resonance sounds intertwined, forming a chilling chorus of death.
Although Chen Kai had pointed them out, their encirclement had already formed.
Nearly ten thick, destructive energy-entwined brown beams—"Power Gem"—shot out from all directions, instantly weaving into an impenetrable net of destruction, completely enveloping Tapu Bulu in mid-air.
The violent Rock-type energy tore through the air, surging forward with a heavy momentum that could crush everything.
Sharp light flashed in Tapu Bulu's azure eyes.
Its body erupted with astonishing reaction speed. Its hands once again gathered emerald energy hammers, transforming into blurred afterimages, dancing wildly at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang—!"
A series of dense, drum-like heavy explosions rang out.
The hammers precisely shattered several Power Gems attacking from the front. The emerald life energy and brown destructive energy fiercely collided and annihilated, exploding into rings of mixed energy impact, causing the cliff to constantly crack.
But it only had two hands, and could only form two hammers with them, while the attacks came from all directions.
Furthermore, it was ambushed and had to react hastily. Despite its strenuous blocking, which shattered most of the Power Gems, several tricky Power Gems still broke through the gaps in its hammer swings, solidly striking its dark shoulders, back, and side abdomen.
"Boom! Boom!"
Heavy thuds accompanied by the light of energy explosions.
Tapu Bulu's massive body trembled violently, letting out a low groan mixed with pain and anger.
Obvious scorch marks appeared where it was hit, and the heavy impact from the Rock-type energy clearly caused it pain.
Just as it was about to counterattack, the Nihilego that hadn't attacked earlier immediately began their assault. This was the Nihilego's plan: since they were numerous, they would attack in two rotating batches, giving Tapu Bulu no time to gather energy. Even if Tapu Bulu was strong, slowly wearing it down would eventually lead to its downfall.
The situation instantly became critical.
Just then, a clear but resolute female voice cut through the roar of energy explosions and the clamor of the sea breeze.
"Partners, we can't just watch! Help cover the guardian deity!"
It was Acerola!
Unbeknownst to Chen Kai, she had already rushed behind a relatively safe giant rock nearby, her Poké Balls already thrown out.
Five white lights flashed simultaneously.
Palossand, Froslass, Dhelmise, Drifblim, Banette, as well as the ever-present Mimikyu, and her close companion, the Totem Gengar, were all Ghost-type Pokemon.
This surprised Chen Kai even more in the back. Acerola's Pokemon, except for that Totem Gengar, were generally around Professional Class (Level 50), and that Palossand was almost at Gym Class (Level 60).
This stunned Chen Kai from a distance.
She's only just started junior high? She'll probably be even stronger than Grandma Ju in a few years, right?
Chen Kai couldn't help but inwardly complain, if she was so strong just starting junior high, what would that make Zhou Zicheng in the same grade?
As expected of Alola's first Four Heavenly Kings in the game, her strength is so formidable no matter which world she's in.
However, Acerola faced interdimensional invaders who were generally Champion Class or Master Class (Level 80-90+), so the level gap was still like an insurmountable chasm.
Nevertheless, the attack erupted instantly.
"Palossand, Shadow Ball!"
"Froslass, Shadow Ball!"
"Drifblim, Shadow Ball!"
Acerola spoke very quickly, and the three Pokemon acted almost simultaneously.
Palossand condensed an Energy Ball, from which black smoke constantly emanated, from the top of its sandcastle. Froslass elegantly pushed with both hands, and a dark Energy Ball entwined with icy cold air shot out. Drifblim spewed air currents from below, and an even larger Shadow Ball, seemingly with countless vengeful spirits churning inside, whistled out.
Three Shadow Balls, imbued with rich Ghost energy, traced strange arcs, converging into a super-sized Shadow Ball in mid-air, accurately blasting towards a Nihilego on the flank.
Almost at the same time, Acerola's subsequent commands were issued: "Mimikyu, Banette, Dhelmise, get close to them! Shadow Claw! Phantom Force! Harass them relentlessly!"
"Mim—!" Mimikyu's shadowy claws under its disguise suddenly grew. Its small figure and Banette transformed into two swift ghostly shadows, using their small size and Ghost-type elusiveness to boldly cut into the space directly beneath a Nihilego.
Mimikyu's tail and Banette's hands were covered with solidified Shadow Claws, carrying a soul-tearing chill, frantically scratching and tearing at Nihilego's translucent tentacles and lower body.
And Dhelmise was even more direct and brutal. Its huge, rusty anchor suddenly sank into its own shadow. The next moment, accompanied by subtle spatial ripples and a grating metallic clang, the giant anchor, as if returned from hell, with the eerie power of Phantom Force, violently hammered out from the shadow directly beneath this Nihilego, striking it from below upwards, heavily hitting its head.
In an instant, the long-range Shadow Ball bombardment and the close-range Shadow Claw tearing, combined with Dhelmise's heavy Phantom Force strike, perfectly converged.
Although Ghost-type energy generally has a normal effect on Nihilego, which possesses both Poison and Rock types, it now unleashed power far exceeding the Professional Class.
"Screech—!!!"
The two Nihilego, which were the main targets, simultaneously let out sharp and enraged shrieks.
The explosion of the Shadow Ball unleashed not only a double-damage energy impact but also terrifying physical penetration.
Their translucent bodies twisted violently, and their entire bodies were sent tumbling backward by the immense kinetic energy of the Shadow Ball, almost losing their combat capability. The brown energy of the "Power Gem" they were halfway through condensing instantly dispersed.
They were forced to twist their bodies and wave their tentacles to drive away these harassers, which were like leeches attached to their bones.
Acerola, relying on the tacit long-range and close-range cooperation of her Pokemon and their type advantage, actually succeeded in holding back the attacks of two Nihilego, gaining a precious moment of respite for Tapu Bulu, which was in heavy encirclement, and forcefully tearing a small gap in the impenetrable encirclement.
But this was her limit. She then turned to Gengar and said, "Little Gengar, please help me find Chen Kai. He was blown away just now, and I'm worried about his safety."
"It's fine, I sent him to a safe place." Chen Kai, wearing a mask, spoke in a high-pitched voice, pretending to be profound, as he approached Acerola.
"Ah, who are you?" Acerola looked at the strange man in a mask and Green clothes in front of her, momentarily not recognizing him as Chen Kai.
"Who I am is not important." Chen Kai took out three Poké Balls and said in Chinese:
"It's up to you! Iron Bundle, Iron Hands, Iron Thorns! What class are those Ultra Beasts? What class are we Paradox Pokemon? Beat them hard for me! Let them know there's a difference between interdimensional beings!"
Chen Kai had been feeling suppressed all night, and it was time to unleash himself.
Three white lights flashed, emitting a cold aura of futuristic technology, distinctly different from the Pokemon of this era.
Iron Bundle, covered entirely in smooth metal, penguin-like in form but holding strange metal spheres, was the first to act.
It stood steadily on the ground, a subtle hum of energy emanating from within its body.
Facing the dense and terrifying enemies above, the blue metal spheres at the ends of its arms suddenly opened a mouth.
"Zzz—Boom!!!"
An incomparably thick, extremely condensed high-pressure "Hydro Pump," like a cannonball fired from a barrel, shot towards the sky with a piercing whoosh, following an almost perfectly straight trajectory.
The Hydro Pump's speed and power far exceeded the ordinary, its core even exhibiting a cold, pale blue glow due to extreme compression.
Moreover, Water-type attacks are super effective against Rock/Poison-type Nihilego.
This violent jet of water, like precise anti-aircraft fire, instantly struck a Nihilego that was about to fire a Power Gem at Tapu Bulu.
"Screech—!!!"
The struck Nihilego let out a shriek far more agonizing than before.
The high-pressure Hydro Pump brought not only a double-damage energy impact but also terrifying physical penetration.
Its translucent body twisted violently, and its entire being was sent tumbling backward by the Hydro Pump's immense kinetic energy, almost losing its combat ability.
Iron Bundle's cold electronic eyes flickered continuously, locking onto the fast-moving targets in the air. The metal spheres on its arms constantly made minute adjustments, and one devastating high-pressure Hydro Pump after another continuously shot into the sky, truly like using the most advanced anti-aircraft guns to swat mosquitoes. For a time, it actually disrupted the formation of the Nihilego in the air.
The Nihilego swarm in the air immediately detected this highly threatening ground target.
Amidst sharp buzzing, more than half of the Nihilego immediately changed direction, their brown energy frantically condensing again, as they dive-bombed Iron Bundle like a swarm of bees, attempting to completely destroy this troublesome "anti-aircraft gun."
However, this was exactly what Chen Kai wanted.
Iron Thorns walked in front of Iron Bundle, its terrifying energy fluctuations, far exceeding its companions and reaching Level 100, erupted without reservation.
Facing the dive-bombing Nihilego swarm, its foot suddenly lifted, then slammed down onto the earth like a battering ram.
Earthquake!
A destructive energy burst, originating from the earth's core, mixed with wild Grass-type power and pure shockwaves.
Centered on Iron Thorns' giant foot, a visible, terrifying shockwave, mixed with emerald Green energy and pulverized rocks, erupted in a ring, powerfully impacting towards the Nihilego with overwhelming force.
Ground-type moves are quadruple effective against Rock/Poison-type Nihilego, like a devastating divine punishment.
Those dive-bombing Nihilego were like moths actively flying into a fire.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of heart-stopping dull explosions erupted almost simultaneously.
The dive-bombing Nihilego couldn't even fully let out their screams. The moment their translucent bodies touched the destructive shockwave, they fell straight down like mosquitoes hit by an electric swatter, truly a one-way trip.
With just one blow, the dive-bombing Nihilego were swept away.
Meanwhile, Iron Hands could only silently activate Electric Terrain, boosting its two teammates' damage and providing support...
