Acerola let out a long, cute breath. She patted her small cheeks and turned a beaming smile toward Caitlin. Her voice was sweet and clear.
"Thank you! Acerola is very happy!" (I had a great time!).
These were her honest feelings.
"Thank you. Acerola, you are also very strong. I will come to find you for another match when I have the chance."
Caitlin shook hands with Acerola. Although she did not win, Caitlin felt very calm. If anything, this battle was easier than she had imagined. After all, she had fought Mamon before. Mamon used [Ghost] type tactics in a very... unique way.
Caitlin felt that Acerola's fighting style was much more normal. It did not put as much pressure on her.
"Hehe~ Okay, okay! Let us exchange contact information. Acerola is very glad!" (I really like you!).
Acerola tilted her head cutely. She was very happy. She still loved Pokémon battles very much.
After exchanging contact info with the adorable Acerola, Mamon and Caitlin said their goodbyes to everyone at the Aether House.
"You must come back to see Acerola again! Caitlin, keep in touch!" (Do not forget me!).
Acerola stood on her tiptoes. she waved her arms vigorously. She gave them a thousand instructions and ten thousand warnings. She really liked the elegant, beautiful, and powerful Caitlin. Yes, she liked her very much.
The smile on the corner of Caitlin's lips deepened. She turned around and waved back to Acerola.
"Caitlin, you really are very charming. Whether it is those children or Acerola, they are all loath to see you leave."
The two of them walked down the small path. Mamon teased the [Psychic] girl beside him.
"Do not make fun of me. Acerola is a very pure girl."
Caitlin rolled her eyes at Mamon. She tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. Her tone was quite lazy.
'But I am very different from her.'
It was true. They were very different. She was now a member of Team Rocket. A girl like Acerola, who was pure, cute, and talented, would surely have a beautiful future.
"Caitlin, that kind of thinking is wrong." Mamon raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to say more, Mamon pulled out his phone. A message had been sent to him.
"It seems our luck is very good." Mamon grinned.
"What is it?" Caitlin asked curiously.
"Someone found the location of Tapu Fini."
[Chapter 28: Tapu Fini, I Like You]
"Someone found the location of Tapu Fini."
"So fast?"
Caitlin was very surprised. She was born in Sinnoh, so she was no stranger to myths and legends. Cynthia was a myth enthusiast who loved archaeology and studying the legendary Pokémon in stories. Because of that influence, Caitlin had some concept of legendary Pokémon.
Mysterious and powerful. These were the most direct descriptions of legendary Pokémon.
Caitlin knew that the Tapu here in Alola were different from the mysterious legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region. However, it had only been a few days. Finding the tracks of Tapu Fini this quickly was almost too fast.
"The Tapu do not have a very high level of wariness toward humans. It is not strange." Mamon shook his head.
He was not surprised at all that the location of the Tapu was discovered so quickly.
"Let us go. To Poni Island."
Mamon and Caitlin set off for Poni Island.
Poni Island was the island in the western part of the Alola region. Tapu Fini was the Guardian Deity of Poni Island. Poni Island was also currently the only island without an Island King. Mamon, who had played the games, naturally knew this.
In order to inherit the position of Island King from her late grandfather, Hapu'u would eventually travel to various places to temper herself. Only then would she be chosen by Tapu Fini as the Island Queen.
Unfortunately, she probably would not succeed in this world.
They arrived at a beach on Poni Island.
"Young Lord! Lady Caitlin!"
Two people wearing Team Rocket uniforms, one fat and one thin, hurried to meet them.
"Where is Tapu Fini?"
"Right there, Young Lord." The thin Team Rocket member pointed toward a purple shell on the surface of the sea.
"Tapu Fini does not like humans getting too close. We could only watch from a distance."
The thin man was originally from Poni Island. He understood the temper of Tapu Fini quite well.
"Very good. You did well. Go to Plumeria later and claim one thousand Merit Points."
Mamon praised the two of them.
"Thank you, Young Lord!"
The thin man and the fat man were very excited. One thousand Merit Points was quite a lot.
Mamon took out a Poké Ball. He walked slowly toward Tapu Fini. Caitlin followed behind him with light steps.
The thin Team Rocket member was right. Tapu Fini was indeed floating on the sea. It seemed to be sunbathing. Tapu Fini had a violet shell. Inside the shell was a black body shaped like a mermaid with grey-blue hair.
"Qi?" (Who is there?)
Tapu Fini heard the undisguised footsteps on the beach. The shell slowly turned around. Tapu Fini saw Mamon approaching.
"Hello, Tapu Fini."
The corners of Mamon's mouth curled up. He greeted Tapu Fini.
"Qiqi?" (What do you want?)
Tapu Fini stared at Mamon indifferently. It let out a confused cry.
In the games, most legendary Pokémon were genderless. Tapu Fini was no exception. However, in the anime, its cry and the cry of Tapu Lele were indeed feminine.
"It is nothing much. I just feel that we are destined to be together."
Hearing Tapu Fini ask about his intentions, the smile on Mamon's face grew wider.
"So, can I ask you to become my partner? Tapu Fini, I quite like you."
"..."
Tapu Fini looked at Mamon with utter silence. If it did not feel a sense of kinship from this human, it would not have bothered with him at all.
As the Guardian Deity of Poni Island, its duty was to protect the island. Over the long years, many people who lusted after its power had come to pester it. By now, Tapu Fini was very tired of such people. It rarely appeared before humans anymore.
"Qi~" (I refuse).
Tapu Fini shook its head. The violet shell began to float away as it prepared to leave.
"What a cold attitude. You rejected me without even hesitating?" Mamon raised an eyebrow. He was not too surprised.
"However, it was not easy to find you. I cannot let you leave so easily."
A black light suddenly flashed onto Tapu Fini's body. Tapu Fini felt the restraint. It suddenly turned around. Its cold gaze landed on the human youth.
'Jie jie jie~'
A low, evil laugh sounded. Crimson eyes lit up. Gengar rose from Mamon's shadow, grinning widely.
[Skill: Mean Look!] (This move prevents the opponent from fleeing or being switched out).
Tapu Fini could not leave this place for a short time. Not unless it defeated the Shiny Gengar.
'Good heavens.'
Caitlin glanced at Mamon and the Shiny Gengar. This was too barbaric. Tapu Fini was definitely very angry now.
"Qiqi!!" (How dare you!!)
As expected, Tapu Fini's cry became much colder. It was full of anger.
"Do not be so angry. You should understand me. I like you so much. Will you not even give me a chance to catch you?"
Mamon pushed the responsibility onto Tapu Fini. He still wore that sunny smile.
"Qi! Qi!!" (But I do not like you, human!)
Tapu Fini almost snapped. Just because you like me, I have to respond? The people who liked Tapu Fini could wrap around the entire Poni Island. How could it respond to everyone?
"If you get to know me better, I believe your attitude toward me will change."
Mamon played with the Poké Ball in his hand. He was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time today.
"How about a battle? If I defeat you, you become my Pokémon. Otherwise, I will let you go."
Mamon felt that he was being very reasonable.
"Qi!" (Take this!)
The response Mamon received was a massive [Hydro Pump]. Of course, Tapu Fini was a Guardian Deity after all. This [Hydro Pump] was aimed at the Shiny Gengar in front of Mamon.
Tapu Fini was very annoyed! It especially hated the mocking smile on the face of that fat Pokémon.
"Sucker Punch." Mamon laughed softly.
A black light flashed in the eyes of the grey fat [Gengar]. Its body turned into a grey shadow. It dodged the incoming water at lightning speed. It used [Sucker Punch] to reach the side of Tapu Fini.
[Skill: Sucker Punch!] (A priority move that strikes first if the opponent is preparing an attack).
Black claws tore directly into Tapu Fini's body. It made Tapu Fini's body shake. But that was all. Tapu Fini was resistant to [Dark] type moves. Its defense was also excellent. The damage from this [Sucker Punch] was very average.
But...
'Jie jie jie~'
The grey fat [Gengar] laughed evilly again. Its body swayed left and right. It even stuck out its long tongue and waved it at Tapu Fini. The key was that the tongue was swinging right in front of Tapu Fini's face. It almost touched it!
Tapu Fini immediately controlled its shell to retreat. It gritted its teeth. A black vein popped on its forehead.
"Do you feel it, Tapu Fini? Gengar is very enthusiastic toward you. It also likes you very much."
"Qi??" (What is wrong with you??)
[Chapter 29: Tapu Fini is Mine!]
Tapu Fini was so angry it started laughing.
Fine! Fine!!
"Qi!!" (Behold my power!!)
Tapu Fini's clear cry rang out. A pink mist began to spread across the ground.
"This is?"
Caitlin's eyes flickered. This was [Misty Terrain]!
However, looking at the speed the mist spread, it was not a move. It seemed more like the [Misty Surge] ability.
[Ability: Misty Surge] (This ability automatically creates a [Misty Terrain] upon entering battle).
It was like the [Drizzle] ability compared to the [Rain Dance] move. Although both created rain, there was a fundamental difference in battle. [Drizzle] could start the rain without any warning. [Rain Dance] required using a turn. An opponent could use that turn to buff themselves or attack.
The strength of weather and terrain abilities was right here. They could deploy the field without any cost. For specific Pokémon, the buff from a weather or terrain effect was massive.
