The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

The four-jawed needle dragon let out a sharp roar, and a vortex of countless venomous droplets was formed around it.

At the same time, a massive amount of venom swept towards the Overlord Butterfly like a tidal wave, and countless swamps of poison surged up through the Z-Power, ready to sink the Overlord Butterfly.

Furthermore, the entire sky nearby was covered by purple poisonous clouds, and purple venom rained down, even more terrifying than acid rain.

Under the influence of the Shadow Stitch effect, the Overlord Butterfly could only watch helplessly as this terrifying attack struck her.

Even with the +3 Special Defense and Light Screen damage reduction, this exceptional move still boasts over 200 power, considering that Naganadel also has +1 Special Attack and a STAB power boost.

Once the poisonous clouds and swamps had dissipated, the Overlord Butterfly, panting heavily, stubbornly stood on the field with its remaining red blood.

"Not bad, it can withstand Z-Move attacks. In that case, Rowlet, give it the final blow with Brave Bird."

A resolute light ignited in Rowlet's eyes, and his body was enveloped in golden Flying-type energy as he charged towards the Overlord Butterfly like an arrow.

The overlord Butterfly wasn't about to sit idly by and wait for its doom, so it used its Absorbing Kiss to defend against the attack.

Even though the dominant Butterfly flapped its wings with all its might to resist, it could not withstand this powerful impact; the move was extremely effective.

With a muffled thud, the Overlord Butterfly-Bundled Fly was sent flying ten meters away before crashing heavily to the ground, barely alive. Its wings stopped fluttering, and the aura surrounding its body completely dissipated.

"With the Overlord Ribbon unable to battle, and Naganadel and Rowlet winning, the victor is Ash from Pallet Town, the challenger of the Island Challenge," Jasmine announced.

"Well done, Jaw-1 Needle Dragon, Woody Owl."

"Four Jaws!"

"Boooooo~!"

"Pikachu!"

"Buy, buey!"

"Ash, you could really create a great painting with yourself and your Pokémon as the subject."

Not only does it possess the Rainbow Flower, but it also defeated the Totem Pokémon attracted by the Rainbow Flower, and its teamwork with Rowlet and the others is also excellent.

You are truly an unparalleled Pokémon Trainer!

"Here, please accept this proof that you've passed my Jasmine test, Fairy Z."

After Jasmine finished speaking, she handed Ash a pink diamond-shaped crystal with a ribbon pattern on it, which was Fairy Z.

"Ding! It is detected that the host has obtained important items."

Name: Fairy Z

Note: This can be used to create Z-Crystals for battle, which can upgrade Fairy-type moves into Z-Moves.

"Thank you very much for your guidance. Very good, Fairy Z, I've got it."

"Pikachu!"

"Buy, buey!"

After passing the test, Ash said goodbye to Molly and prepared to return to the Pokémon Center.

On the way, we passed by Hapuu's house and planned to go in and say hello, but to our surprise, there was only an old woman tending to the white radishes she was planting in the field.

"Grandma, may I ask who you are?" Xiao Zhi asked as he stepped forward.

"I am Hapuu's grandmother. Are you Hapuu's friend?"

"Oh, so you're Hapuu's grandmother, and the lover of Mr. Sofu, the former king of Poni Island."

My apologies, hello, I'm Ash from Pallet Town.

As you said, I am a friend of Hapuu. Is Hapuu home right now?

She went out, to the ruins on the other side.

Ever since my husband passed away, Hapuu has made a daily trip to the Ruins of the Other Shore.

"Is it to gain the approval of Tapu Fini, the island's guardian deity?" Ash asked with a smile.

"Yes, this child is so stubborn; no matter how I try to persuade him, he won't listen."

If she could truly inherit our old man's mantle and become the new queen of Ponny Island, that would indeed be a good thing.

But so much time has passed, and Tapu Fini has not only failed to acknowledge her, but has never even shown himself to her.

How can she then claim to be the queen of an island?

The chances of this succeeding are extremely slim.

"Don't worry, old lady, Hapoo is very strong. Sooner or later, she will definitely be recognized by Tapu Fini."

"Then I'll take your good wishes. If that's really the case, then go to the Ruins of the Other Shore if you want to find Hapuu. She shouldn't have left there yet."

"I understand, thank you. I won't bother you any longer."

After saying goodbye, Ash got up and headed straight for the Ruins of the Other Shore.

The ruins are located on the southeast corner of Ponne Island, east of the Ponne Rocky Shore, and can be found in a cave.

This is the site of a ritual performed to worship the land god, the Pokémon Tapu Fini, and is considered by people to be the place where life ends.

Just a few minutes ago, Hapuu was praying devoutly here.

"Tapu Fizz, guardian of this pure land, water and land deity of Poni Island, I beg you, grant my wishes and prayers!"

Please let the image and voice of my grandfather, Sofwu, appear before me, so devoutly.

Grandpa, please come out and see me. I want to inherit your mantle and become the island queen.

"What am I lacking? Why doesn't Tapu Fini acknowledge my strength? Please tell me, Grandpa."

No matter how fervently Hapwu prayed, Tapu Fizz did not respond in the slightest.

He had no intention of helping her meet her deceased grandfather, Sofvu, nor of answering Hapuu's questions.

Having received no response all day, Hapuu could only leave dejectedly, as it was almost time.

She had just stepped outside when the rising tide submerged the entrance to the ruins on the other side. Only when the tide receded could she enter the ruins.

This is why Hapuu gets up early every day to come to the ruins on the other side, because if he comes late, he won't be able to get in.

A dejected Hapuu wanted to ride the heavy mud horse home to continue planting white radishes, but unexpectedly, the heavy mud horse suddenly became twisted and contorted as soon as it took a step. The usually docile horse became extremely violent at this moment.

Hapuu, with its small frame, was not even half the height of the heavy mudslinger's leg. At this moment, it had no solution and did not know why the heavy mudslinger had suddenly lost control. All it could do was hold on tightly to the heavy mudslinger's tail, trying to calm it down.

Just then, Ash arrived at the Other Shore Ruins and witnessed this scene.

"What happened, Hapuu?"

"I don't know, the heavy mud horse suddenly lost control."

Xiao Zhi looked closely and realized that there seemed to be something on the bottom of the hoof of the heavy mud-drawn horse.
