The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Damn it, what is this thing?!"

Kachi angrily slammed his fist into the energy shield. When he glanced up, he was startled to find that Tapu Fini, the creature they were looking for, was standing right above the energy shield, coldly staring at them.

At the same time, an aged voice suddenly came from behind Kachi.

"Tapu Fizz is furious right now."

Kachi turned around and saw an old man leaning on a cane. Even though he was wearing high wooden clogs that were more than ten centimeters high, he was still less than a meter tall. He had a small tuft of white hair on his head and a large white beard.

Kachi was startled again by the sudden appearance of the old man.

This is considered good, because Ash, trapped inside the energy shield, is facing Kiawe and can clearly see what's behind Kiawe.

Just now, Ash clearly saw that the old man suddenly appeared behind Kiawe like a ghost, and condensed into human form behind Kiawe. If Kiawe knew this, he would be even more frightened.

However, Ash is not unfamiliar with this person.

Don't even mention that Xiao Zhi had seen his picture before.

Even without seeing a photo, just based on the similarity in height and appearance, Xiaozhi could immediately tell the difference.

The old man in front of me is Hapuu's deceased grandfather, the former king of Poni Island, Sofu.

After all, Tapu Fini's mist can reveal the abilities of those who have passed away.

The old man pointed his cane at Kachi's face, first letting out a sudden roar, then angrily rebuking him.

"Have you not yet realized the unforgivable crime you have committed?"

You have disturbed Tapu Fini's rest.

Those who commit grave crimes on this land must atone for their sins with their lives.

"To atone with our lives! But we didn't do anything!" Kachi said, spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face.

But the old man turned his head away, seemingly unwilling to listen to Kachi's explanation.

Seeing this, Kiawe had no choice but to turn to Tapu Fini and plead,

"Tapu Fizz, they are my most important friends, please let them go."

Tapu Fizz did not respond, but instead fired a stream of purifying water, which transformed into something resembling a timer in Kaki's hand.

"What is this?" Kachi asked, looking completely bewildered.

"This is the Water Clock. If you want to appease Tapu Fini's anger, go and bring back Tapu Lele's scales."

However, you must do it before all the water in the clock runs out.

"Once this time passes, your friends will be in grave danger. This is the only way you can save them," Sofwut said.

"Taputie's scales, huh? Okay, I understand. I'll be back before the deadline."

"Come out, Charizard!"

Kaki put the water clock on his wrist, then took out a Poké Ball and released his Charizard. He flipped over and climbed onto Charizard's back, saying,

"Charizard, target Akara Island, let's go!"

The fire-breathing dragon then flapped its wings and took off, flying rapidly towards Akara Island.

Ash said impatiently after Kiawe left.

"Alright, alright, Kachi's already gone."

"Hey old man, I've already helped you show off enough in front of Kachi, haven't I? Shouldn't you let me out now, or do I have to go out on my own?"

Upon hearing this, Sofwut, furious, glared and rebuked him.

"You brat, what do you mean 'cooperate with me'? Did you think I was joking? Let me tell you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tapu Fini deactivated its energy shield, releasing Ash and the others. This surprised SofU, who was scolding Ash, causing him to widen his eyes in astonishment and abruptly stop his scolding.

"Tapu Fizz, what are you doing..."

Sofwut wanted to question Tapu Fini, but when he saw Tapu Fini's cold eyes, he swallowed his words.

"Alright, alright, Tapu Fini only helped you out once because you were the former king of Poni Island, to fulfill one last wish of yours."

"It's not your Pokémon, do you really think you can control it at will? You're really making a mountain out of a molehill." Ash said disdainfully.

"How did you know that!" Sofwu asked in surprise.

Aside from the person who asked him for help, no one else should know that he had asked Tapu Fini for assistance.

"You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. All you need to know is that I'm Tapu Fini's brother and I have connections with all four guardian deities of the Alola region."

When Ash said these words, they were incredibly calm, but to Sofia, they were like a bolt from the blue.

Moreover, when he looked at Tapu Fini, Tapu Fini showed none of the arrogance of a superior that it had displayed when it was in his presence.

Instead, there was a deep sense of respect.

This proves that the young man in front of them wasn't bragging.

Otherwise, anyone who dared to say that Tapu Fini was his subordinate in front of Tapu Fini would have been punished by Tapu Fini long ago.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a sentence.

"You are truly a promising young man. However, I was merely acting on someone's behalf, and my actions are not excessive."

"You mean Kiawe's grandfather, that's what I meant by 'asking someone to do it'?" Ash said with a smile.

"You really can't hide it from me. That's right, it's my old friend. I was asked by him to test his precious grandson."

“Hey Tapu Fizz, you and Kiawe are both from the same generation, you were family five hundred years ago. Even if you’re going to set a test for him, there’s no need to be so harsh, is there?”

And they even made me act in their play without my knowledge. You know, my performance fee is very high.

As soon as Ash finished speaking, a blue diamond-shaped crystal with a Primarina face pattern on it floated from Tapu Fini to Ash's front and landed in his palm.

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

Name: West Lion Sea Ren Z

Note: This can be used to create Z-Power Crystals for battle, which can upgrade Primarina's Bubble Aria into a special Z-Move.

Upon seeing the Primarina Z, Ash's eyes lit up instantly, and all the complaints he had been holding back vanished in a flash.

There was no way around it; it gave them just too much. You can't be too obligated to accept something for nothing.

Ash's complaints about Tapu Fini instantly turned into beaming smiles, and he repeatedly said, "Come to me more often if there are any good opportunities like this!"

It's just playing a hostage, anyone can do that. Just acting like that will get you Z Chunjing.

If this happens a few more times, wouldn't I have enough Z-Crystals without even having to do the island pilgrimage?
