Chapter 696: Disasters Are Always One Step Behind Me (Two-in-One Chapter)

Champion’s Path.

It would be best to finish the Champion’s Path before summer vacation ended. Success or failure aside, a guaranteed Elite Four position should be secured.

Moreover, the island’s development would sometimes need the "Champion" status to help with small favors.

But before starting the Champion’s Path, Johan also wanted to visit the Alola region first.

At least get the "Fairy Plate" back first, helping Ninetales and Tinkaton get one final power boost.

With this thought, Johan said to Drake:

"Fifteen days."

"Fifteen days? Is that enough?"

Drake thought Johan wanted to use these ten-plus days to adjust his Pokémon to their best condition, which wasn’t easy.

Especially under the high-difficulty pressure of facing the "Champion’s Path."

"Should be... enough."

Johan thought about it.

The four Island Guardian Pokémon of the Alola region had strange personalities and weren’t easy to talk to.

But considering that he had been entrusted by Arceus and instructed by Xerneas to retrieve what should rightfully be returned, the Island Guardians would have to give it back no matter how bad their tempers were, right?

If worse came to worst...

One island per day, just four days.

Time was plenty.

However, besides the "Fairy Plate," Johan was also very interested in the plants of the Alola region.

After all, it was recognized throughout the Pokémon world as the region with the lowest development level and most natural scenery.

Surely there would be many valuable plants worth transplanting that wouldn’t cause too much environmental impact or damage?

"Alright then." Drake nodded. "Then we’ll also try to perfect the ’Champion’s Path’ during this time."

Johan showed the expression of a subway grandpa looking at his phone.

Perfect it more?

What, are you trying to kill me in the "Champion’s Path"?

Drake didn’t explain, just casually picked up another flower cake and stuffed it in his mouth, showing a meaningful smile that made Johan’s heart flutter.

"Oh, are those Applin?"

Sharp-eyed Drake noticed several "apples" slowly crawling under a tree and recognized them immediately.

After all, he was a real Dragon-type Elite Four member, unlike Flint who would mistake them for apples.

Since Drake had spotted the Applin, Johan went with the flow:

"Drake, as a Dragon-type Elite Four member, do you have any way to get items like Tart Apples, Sweet Apples, and Syrupy Apples?"

"You want the Applin to evolve?" Drake immediately understood Johan’s purpose.

He paused, then showed some confusion.

"However, I understand Tart Apples and Sweet Apples, but what’s a Syrupy Apple? An item?"

Hmm?

Hearing this, Johan was stunned.

Seeing Drake’s expression didn’t seem fake, Johan slowly realized.

Could it be that no one knew yet that Applin could evolve into Dipplin after burrowing into a "Syrupy Apple"?

Johan put his hands on his hips and looked up at a forty-five-degree angle.

So difficult, too difficult!

Others who transmigrated to the Pokémon world either discovered Eevee evolution forms and wrote papers, or discovered Mega Evolution, special evolutions, or Fairy-types, becoming famous through this.

His original goal was also to become a Pokémon Professor, not a trainer.

But unfortunately, whether it was Eevee evolution forms or Fairy-types, they had all been discovered already.

Even Mega Evolution was Professor Sycamore’s main research topic, and he had just caught the tail end of the project and got his name on it.

Now, could there finally be a special evolution method for him to "discover"?

Wait.

Then why did the Rotom Pokédex have information about Dipplin?

To be safe, Johan tentatively asked: "Drake, do you know... Dipplin?"

"Dipplin? Of course I know it. Isn’t it also one of Applin’s evolution forms?"

Johan: "..."

Drake continued on his own: "I heard that the research project on Applin’s evolution conditions depending on apple acidity and sweetness was proposed by a teacher at Orange Academy. What was the name... I can’t quite remember."

Apple acidity and sweetness?

Johan felt that the new "research topic" and the research funding about to be in his hands were getting further and further away.

"Professor Jacq?" he still asked.

Professor Jacq was a biology teacher at Orange Academy in the Paldea region, also a very famous researcher specializing in Pokémon ecology and Pokémon changes based on environment.

"Oh right, Professor Jacq. He first discovered the effects of Tart Apples and Sweet Apples, then discovered that apples with an acidity-sweetness level between these two types, within an extremely precise threshold..."

"Can make Applin evolve into Dipplin. That’s your ’Syrupy Apple,’ right?"

Johan sighed lightly and nodded.

Indeed.

For a "fully open" Pokémon world, trying to catch a research topic was really not easy.

However, after learning this was Professor Jacq’s research topic at Orange Academy, Johan understood that the person to find wasn’t Drake, but his old dean whose connections were jaw-dropping, worthy of being called the "Pokémon social butterfly."

"Johan?"

Kanaz Pokémon Academy, Dean’s Office.

The old dean rarely wasn’t being pinned against the wall by Pangoro, but his face still showed bruises. Seeing Johan, he showed some surprise.

It’s just that his facial expression changes affected his injuries, making him grimace.

Johan was long used to this scene and smiled: "Dean, I’d like to ask for your help."

"Hey." The old dean waved his hand. "When did you become so polite? Whatever this old man can help with, just say it directly."

The old dean had watched Johan’s growth.

Back when the academy’s teacher evaluation was held, Johan’s reward was personally handed out by him.

No one expected that Johan, who had just shown his talent in the teacher evaluation, would become a household name in the blink of an eye.

He had shone brightly in several major incidents, becoming someone everyone pursued.

And Johan’s fame undoubtedly made Kanaz Pokémon Academy a hot commodity among Pokémon academies.

Look, summer wasn’t even over yet, and their Kanaz Pokémon Academy’s admissions office was reportedly packed.

Director Martin had suggested expanding enrollment and opening several more classes more than once.

This was probably the so-called "famous teacher effect."

At the same time, he had heard from some friends within the Hoenn League that Teacher Johan was preparing to challenge the "Champion’s Path."

If he really became Champion, this old man would have much more confidence when calling his old friend—Orange Academy’s Dean Clavell—next time.

After all, Hassel, one of the Paldea region’s Elite Four and a Dragon-type specialist, was an art teacher at Orange Academy.

So regarding Johan’s needs, the old dean always maintained... an absolutely supportive attitude.

"I want Tart Apples, Sweet Apples, and Syrupy Apples." Johan wasn’t actually being polite.

Then he added:

"The quantity doesn’t matter, and it’s not urgent either."

Anyway, those Applin were still quite weak, so consider it advance preparation.

"No problem."

The old dean agreed very readily.

He also knew about Professor Jacq’s research results at Orange Academy. With his relationship with Orange Academy’s Dean Clavell, it shouldn’t be difficult.

"Also..."

Johan hesitated before asking: "Dean, does our academy’s breeding house have Combee?"

This was something he suddenly thought of.

Their academy had two breeding houses, and "borrowing" some Pokémon didn’t necessarily need to go through the League.

"Combee?" The old dean was stunned.

"This... I really don’t know. You want Combee? I can help you ask."

"Uh, it’s not urgent either."

Combee, like bees, had an extremely strong sense of community.

Especially when there was a Vespiquen, they would serve the Vespiquen as their only object of devotion.

However, Vespiquen needed female Combee to evolve, and investigations found that in Combee colonies, the male-to-female ratio was 7:1, a typical case of "more monks than porridge."

But at the same time, a colony could only have one Vespiquen. Once another Vespiquen appeared, it would either be driven away or...

So the academy either had none, or would raise a large group.

The old dean nodded.

After chatting briefly for two more sentences, Johan took out a box of flower cakes and a box of energy cubes and placed them on the desk.

"Dean, I just made some flower cakes. These are for you, and this box of energy cubes is for Pangoro."

Huff—

Pangoro, who had been standing with arms crossed, snorted two puffs of white air from its nostrils and nodded slightly at Johan.

This was actually his main "mission" for finding the old dean.

During his time at Kanaz Pokémon Academy, he had received considerable care from the old dean.

Moreover, the old dean was also a regular customer at the café. According to Hatenna, the old dean had purchased the highest-level membership card.

So Johan often brought the old dean some food and snacks.

Nothing expensive, it was all about attitude.

Personal relationships involved give and take—the "take" part was very important.

After putting down the items, Johan left.

"This kid..." The old dean couldn’t help smiling.

Others would give gifts first then ask for help, but he was good—asking for help first, then "giving gifts."

He opened the lid and casually picked up a piece to put in his mouth, his eyes lighting up slightly.

"Still as skillful as always..."

However, before the old dean could enjoy it for long, he heard "bang bang" sounds from the office.

"Don’t grab it! This is mine..."

Bang! Bang—

Night fell.

Inside the café.

"Hatenna~"

Hatenna hummed a little tune, gently waving its hand. Psychic power immediately spread out, kneading the dough in front of it, dividing it into equal small portions, then kneading them into different shapes.

Then Hatenna’s brother put these kneaded dough pieces into the Rotom oven, taking out the previously baked bread, immediately filling the air with fragrance.

"Alcremie~"

Alcremie held a small spatula, decorating different breads with fresh cream inside or outside.

This way, a simple cream bread was made.

"Sister’s psychic power has improved quite a bit."

Watching the three skilled little ones, Johan noticed the change in Hatenna’s psychic power and showed some surprise.

Mewtwo, wearing an apron, didn’t use psychic power but just expressionlessly kneaded the dough until smooth, then set it aside sealed to wait for fermentation.

"Hatenna~"

Hatenna smiled shyly, its eyes curving like crescents.

Its gaze looked at Mewtwo, and Johan roughly guessed the reason.

It seemed Mewtwo was quietly "training" Hatenna, helping it improve its strength and abilities.

Being able to get Mewtwo’s help was naturally excellent for Hatenna as a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Maybe in this "Champion’s Path" challenge, Hatenna could shine brightly.

Beep beep—

His phone suddenly rang.

Johan put down his book and picked it up. The caller ID showed Professor Oak.

"Professor Oak?"

Pressing the answer button, Johan greeted him.

"Hahaha, it’s me." As soon as the call connected, Professor Oak’s hearty laughter could be heard. "Johan, I heard you’re going to Alola?"

"Professor Oak, your information network is really well-informed..."

Johan had only called Professor Kukui during the day saying he was planning to visit the Alola region, and now he was getting a call from Professor Oak at night.

"Well, who told me I have a cousin who’s the principal of a Pokémon school in Alola?"

"Principal Samson Oak?"

"Right. He heard you were coming to Alola and wanted to invite you to give a few classes to the school’s students, saying the students all admire you greatly."

"Me? Teach? Don’t Pokémon schools in the Alola region have summer vacation?" Johan was stunned.

"I’m not too clear on the specifics. You can look into it when you get there."

"Alright, I understand."

This was the second person to invite him to a Pokémon school.

The first was Professor Kukui.

However, he would only stay in the Alola region for a few days at most, so even teaching wouldn’t be many classes.

"Oh, there’s one more thing." Professor Oak added.

"Hmm?"

"I heard that some... rather strange Pokémon have appeared in the Alola region. They seem to call them ’Ultra Beasts.’ If you encounter any, could you help this old man collect some Pokédex data?"

This was probably Professor Oak’s main purpose for making this call, right?

Ultra Beasts?

Those were creatures from the alternate dimension Ultra Space, belonging to an alternative type of "Pokémon" that came to the Pokémon world through "Ultra Wormholes." They were very dangerous.

"Uh..."

Johan was thinking about how to avoid these troublesome matters when visiting the Alola region...

"Um, Professor Oak, I have another call coming in. Let me hang up first."

"Then I’ll leave it to you, Johan." Professor Oak said hurriedly.

The call ended.

It wasn’t that Johan was being deliberate, but another call really had come in. The caller ID showed Matori.

"Teacher Johan, the transportation I arranged for you is ready and docked at Hau’oli City port on Melemele Island." Matori got straight to the point.

Since the Alola region wasn’t like other regions that were one continuous landmass...

The Alola region mainly consisted of islands, so if you wanted to travel between islands, you either had to fly or take water routes. Transportation was essential.

Therefore, Johan had asked Matori to help arrange this in advance.

However...

"So fast?" Johan was somewhat surprised.

Hadn’t he just called Matori not long ago?

Wait.

Johan seemed to think of something and tentatively asked: "You guys... aren’t also in Alola, are you?"

"How did Teacher Johan know? We’re currently location scouting in the Alola region. I have to say, the Alola region’s scenery is really beautiful, especially the beaches."

Johan: "..."

So the trio was also in the Alola region?

Didn’t that mean there was a chance of encountering the "true god" Bewear?

"Alright, I understand."

Hanging up again, Johan sank into the sofa.

"Oowoo~"

Ninetales stepped lightly and naturally settled into his arms.

This trip to Alola also included taking Ninetales to see its birthplace. The little one’s heart probably wasn’t very calm either.

He gently combed through Ninetales’ crystalline white fur, softly muttering to himself:

"Why do I feel like something will definitely happen on this trip..."

"No, no, no."

He shook his head decisively.

"As long as I move fast enough, disasters can’t catch up to me!"

Sunny skies.

Ocean waves carried white veils, teasing the beach again and again.

The Alola region had a warm climate. The undeveloped islands were extremely rich in resources. Besides four natural islands, there was also an artificial island located at the central junction of the four islands.

Each island in the Alola region had a large stretch of beautiful beach, distinctive island festivals, and legendary guardian deities.

As a paradise for tourism and vacation, it attracted massive numbers of visitors every year. Sunshine, beaches, and bikinis were classics among classics in the Alola region.

In the northwest of the Alola region was "Melemele Island," with the legendary Tapu Koko as its guardian deity.

At the same time, Melemele Island also had the largest and most prosperous city in the Alola region—Hau’oli City.

It was said that because tourists from around the world first arrived at Hau’oli City on Melemele Island, the city gathered everything from around the world, making it the most developed city in the Alola region.

It was mainly divided into commercial, beach, and port districts, making it a distinctive seaside city.

In Hau’oli City’s suburbs sat the first Pokémon school in the Alola region, and wild Pokémon with Alola region characteristics could be seen everywhere in the wilderness.

And at this moment in Hau’oli City...

Having just arrived in the Alola region, changed into Alola-style beach clothes, carrying flip-flops, and wearing a sun hat, Johan came to Hau’oli City’s famous Malasada chain store at his little ones’ repeated requests.

Malasada was a specialty food of the Alola region.

Given his little ones’ situation... obviously they couldn’t refuse these delicacies.

"Is that enough, Gengar?"

Johan pressed down his sun hat, looking helplessly at Gengar, who was also wearing Alola beach clothes and sweeping through the counter.

The clerk nearby watched this scene with delight, obviously understanding they had encountered a big customer.

It wasn’t until the counter was completely empty that Gengar and Marshadow, who had somehow emerged from the shadows, reluctantly stopped.

Johan painfully paid the bill.

"Esteemed customer, given your purchase amount, this is our Malasada chain store membership card. You can enjoy a 97% discount at all chain stores." The clerk handed Johan an exquisite card with a full smile.

97% discount?

Thank you so much, how generous.

But considering that even a mosquito was meat, Johan still accepted the membership card.

Then he went to the Pokémon Center, got the key Matori had stored, and headed straight to Hau’oli City’s tourist beach, with the port right next to it.

The sun was blazing, palm trees swayed gently, several Lapras swam leisurely on the sea surface, and white Pelipper circled in the sky.

Several Alolan Exeggutor lined up, swaying their slender necks and walking shakily across the beach. A group of Toucannon circled around them, seemingly looking for bugs that might be hiding on them.

Crabrawler that had originally been hiding from the sun in reef caves by the beach saw this scene and followed along, waving their fists excitedly as they chased behind the Exeggutor, looking like they wanted to knock down the "coconuts."

Under a beach umbrella, beach chairs were laid out, and the little ones sat around together enjoying the Malasada they had just bought.

Johan leaned back in his beach chair, his gaze hidden behind sunglasses scanning across the beach.

Wow, this beach is really white—no, this mood is really good...

"Too bad Cynthia isn’t here." Johan clicked his tongue.

This time Flint hadn’t followed him. It wasn’t that Flint didn’t want to, but... as one of Sinnoh region’s Elite Four, after slacking off for so long, Lucian really couldn’t stand it anymore and dragged him back with one phone call.

Not only was the Hoenn region preparing the "Champion’s Path," the Sinnoh region was also preparing it.

"After Cynthia finishes her ’Champion’s Path,’ I’ll bring her to the Alola region for vacation!" Johan eagerly made up his mind.

After preparing for so long, regardless of the results after finishing, they should relax a bit, right?

Reluctantly withdrawing his gaze, he looked at his little ones.

"Are you done eating? After you finish, let’s find accommodation first." Johan reminded them.

"Ka-kaah~"

Gengar pointed to the nearby waves, representing all the little ones in expressing: such a nice place, they wanted to play in the water.

"Our little island is surrounded by ocean, but I don’t see you being so enthusiastic..."

Johan couldn’t help complaining.

However, considering that although their island was surrounded by ocean, it really didn’t have beaches.

After all, it was an island constructed from Groudon’s lava, and beaches needed time to accumulate.

Perhaps when they returned this time, they could choose to create an artificial beach?

Then even without coming to the Alola region, they could bring Cynthia to the beach to play...

"Alright then." Thinking this in his heart, Johan agreed verbally.

After all, they had been on a plane for most of the day, and the little ones hadn’t trained or been allowed to move freely. If they didn’t burn off this excess energy, the wild Pokémon on Melemele Island might suffer tonight.

Although he wanted a quick victory, there was no need to be so hasty.

Getting Johan’s permission, the little ones immediately cheered and rushed toward the ocean.

"Just right, I’ll also stretch my muscles."

Infected by the little ones’ mood, Johan smiled and stood up.

"Slow down, Rotom!"

On the azure sea surface, a small speedboat rode the wind and waves.

Behind it, Johan stood on a wakeboard, gripping the tow rope. With his considerable physical fitness, he rode the waves while calling out to Rotom, who was driving the speedboat.

"Got it, Rotom~"

Hearing this, Rotom sheepishly slowed down the speedboat.

This speedboat was exactly the transportation Matori had prepared for Johan.

"Draaa~~"

Dragonite flapped its small wings, flying close to the sea surface beside them. The airflow stirred up seawater, creating white spray.

Gengar lay with its hands behind its head, wearing sunglasses, floating naturally on the sea surface with a rope tied around its belly. The other end was connected to a piece of driftwood with iced fruit juice, Malasada, and berries placed on it.

When it came to enjoying life, Gengar was the master.

"Bangi~!"

Tyranitar’s excited calls came from nearby.

A dark green head could be seen floating on the sea surface, its expression showing unstoppable excitement.

If you didn’t look at how its limbs were flailing underwater, you’d think it was a swimming expert!

However, Johan was still somewhat surprised.

You had to hand it to Urshifu being a "bear instructor." Under its continuous guidance for several days, Tyranitar had really learned to swim.

But it looked like mastering the Surf move was still some distance away.

"Be careful not to bump into Lapras!" Johan reminded.

"Bangi!" Tyranitar confidently responded.

Lapras, which were extremely rare in other regions, had almost become overpopulated in the Alola region due to excessive protection.

Many Lapras were cruising around the tourist beach outside Hau’oli City.

This was also why so many Pokémon hunters were enthusiastic about cross-regional Pokémon hunting.

"Let’s head back, Rotom."

"Roger, Rotom!"

Returning to shore, Ninetales immediately handed over a chilled fruit juice. One sip instantly dispelled all heat and irritation.

Johan contentedly rubbed the little one’s head.

Turning around...

He saw Snivy, Ceruledge, Marshadow, and Tinkaton circling around several green coconuts.

Tinkaton indicated these coconuts were all unripe, as their color was still green.

Snivy argued that it had just seen several Crabrawler knock them down from coconut trees, so they should be ripe.

"Goka~"

Ceruledge drew its blade, accompanied by a ringing sound as it spoke.

Regardless of whether they were ripe or not, roasting them would make them edible.

Swoosh!

A flame rose from its blade, causing Snivy and Tinkaton to change expression.

Roasted coconuts?

This was the first time they’d heard of such a thing. Could coconut water still be drinkable after roasting?

"Marsha!"

In the end, Marshadow was the most straightforward. It produced a wooden stick from somewhere and whacked one of the coconuts. The green coconut immediately cracked open, and sweet juice flowed out.

Seeing this, the little ones all crowded around to taste it.

"Sni!" (I told you they were ripe!)

Snivy put its hands on its hips with a proud expression.

"Cha~" (They really are drinkable. Green coconuts can be drunk too, how strange...)

Tinkaton discovered for the first time that green coconuts could also be consumed.

For a moment, it looked at the coconut trees lining the beach, its eyes gleaming.

Ceruledge felt somewhat regretful.

Too bad, it had wanted to try roasted coconut.

"Your coconuts..."

Johan, who had silently watched the entire process, suddenly spoke.

Swoosh—

The next second.

Four Pokémon made four almost identical and perfectly synchronized movements, hiding the coconuts behind them.

Then they whistled, looked at the sky, and hammered the ground.

Not far away, several Crabrawler waved their blue fists angrily, looking very upset but helpless.

Johan: "..."

"Cough."

Clearing his throat, "I was going to say... if you’re not in a hurry, you can drink them later tonight. I’ll make some coconut specialty dishes for you."

Hearing this, the four little ones looked over in unison.

Coconuts could be made into dishes?

Johan smiled mysteriously, "Have you ever heard of coconut chicken, coconut rice, coconut pudding, and coconut cake?"

Could there really be such preparations?

Wasn’t this just to trick them out of their coconuts?

The little ones looked at each other.

"Too bad there aren’t enough. I can probably only make coconut chicken."

Not enough coconuts?

The next moment.

The Crabrawler that had been waving their fists angrily on the beach suddenly froze in place. An inexplicable chill ran up their spines, making them feel an extremely strong "malice."

Then they saw four Pokémon with very "kind" expressions walking toward them with smiling faces. freewebnoveℓ.com

One swinging a hammer, one dancing with swords, one wielding a stick, one cracking whips...

Aftermath of the tourist beach Pokémon latest incident—

Crabrawler 1: Crab! (Miserable)

Villains! They’re all complete villains! Just some energy cubes, and they made us knock down hundreds of coconut trees! My fists are all soft now...

Crabrawler 2: Crab! (Tearful)

It’s all their fault! It’s all their fault for giving too much! Woo woo woo—

Night, Hau’oli City Pokémon Center.

"Finally finished being busy..."

Nurse Joy sat down in her chair, let out a long sigh, and said to the Pokémon beside her:

"Blissey, Comfey, let’s rest for a bit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nurse Joy’s nose twitched slightly, catching a... unique aroma she’d never smelled before. Saliva unconsciously started flowing.

Having been busy for so long, she immediately felt hunger pangs from her stomach.

"Lucky~"

Blissey and Comfey also caught this scent. Comfey immediately drifted toward the aroma, with Blissey close behind.

"Wait for me!"

Following the aroma, they soon arrived at the Pokémon Center’s backyard and saw...

"Don’t grab it! There are enough coconuts. If there isn’t enough, we’ll just cook more!" Johan was trying to maintain the fragile "balance" of the picnic table.

Seeming to hear the commotion, he turned around and saw Nurse Joy, Blissey, and Comfey at the entrance.

He immediately smiled and extended an invitation: "Nurse Joy, Blissey, Comfey, would you like some? Pokémon specialty coconut chicken."

Coconut chicken?

Blissey and Comfey immediately moved closer, confirming this was the aroma they had detected earlier.

"Oowoo~"

Ninetales obediently brought them utensils.

"Thank, thank you!" Nurse Joy’s stomach rumbled slightly, making her face turn red, but she still accepted the utensils.

Teacher Johan was not only handsome and strong, but could even cook... Cynthia was really too fortunate!

"Don’t be polite." Johan immediately had his little ones make some room.

"I’ll dig in!" Nurse Joy clasped her hands together and called out with flushed cheeks.

Having been busy all afternoon, being able to eat such a bite made her satisfied.

"It was worth staying busy until now..." Nurse Joy muttered quietly.

But it didn’t escape Johan’s ears.

"Hmm? Were you very busy today?"

"Yes." Nurse Joy nodded, blowing on her small bowl. "I heard that around 4 PM this afternoon, a strange black hole suddenly appeared by the sea, and quite a few trainers’ Pokémon were injured."

Hearing this, Johan was stunned.

"Black hole? Pokémon?" he asked tentatively.

"I don’t know. Many people said they only saw the black hole, then their Pokémon were mysteriously injured..."

"What about now?"

"I heard the International Police and Officer Jenny intervened, and the black hole seems to have disappeared."

Johan fell silent.

Then he muttered:

"Indeed, as long as I’m fast enough, disasters will always be one step behind me!"
