Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Totem Kommo-o

A/N:7/9 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

They had actually dared to attack Julian.

The anger in Hakamo-o, Sirfetch’d, and Goodra’s eyes burned hotter than ever before.

Gallade, Annihilape, Gengar, Miraidon, Combusken, and Electabuzz all emerged from their Poké Balls on their own.

Four Hakamo-o leapt out from the bushes with arrogant expressions.

They had been about to scold Julian for daring to treat the Cacturne they had defeated.

Then they suddenly realised that the four of them had already been surrounded by a group of furious Pokémon.

Julian said calmly, "Just teach them a lesson."

Julian had a good temper. The Hakamo-o attacking him was not a major issue by itself.

After all, during the island challenge, the Pokémon along Poni Canyon were allowed to test them.

But these four Hakamo-o had seriously affected the peace and stability of Poni Canyon.

They needed to be hit hard.

Decidueye was extremely excited.

It was these four who had injured him before. Today, he could finally repay that arrow!

Cynthia did not make a move.

Four untrained Hakamo-o were more than enough for Julian’s Pokémon.

Julian’s Hakamo-o charged in first, his Dragon Claw swinging wildly.

He easily tore apart all the dragon scales on both arms of one Hakamo-o.

Then his Dragon Tail swept out and struck the Hakamo-o’s neck.

The Hakamo-o’s eyes nearly bulged out. When he hit the ground, he fainted on the spot.

Annihilape burned with pitch-black flames.

The Hakamo-o attacking Julian had directly pushed Annihilape’s rage to its peak.

Rage Fist shot out, its power surged straight to the limit.

The punch landed squarely on the Hakamo-o’s jaw, and two dragon fangs flew into the grass.

The Hakamo-o shot into the sky and crashed into the distant cliff wall.

"Annihilape, that was a little too heavy."

Hopefully, the Hakamo-o would live...

Gallade did not swing his blades.

He knew these four Hakamo-o were not the true enemy behind everything.

His blades could be saved for the end.

He would remain calm and strike at the most crucial moment.

He was Julian’s sharpest sword, and he would play his role when it mattered most.

Gengar’s Shadow Ball, Electabuzz’s Thunderbolt, and Combusken’s Flamethrower struck the same Hakamo-o.

The violent explosion directly shattered the scales across that Hakamo-o’s entire body.

The final Hakamo-o was struck at the same time by Toxicroak’s poison spike and Sirfetch’d’s Meteor Assault. Two dents appeared in his body, and he snapped two large trees before falling.

Julian frowned slightly.

"Decidueye, please bring back the one that got sent flying."

Decidueye was a little depressed.

His Spirit Shackle had not even been fired before all four Hakamo-o had been defeated.

Still, Decidueye nodded.

They were, after all, the sons of Totem Kommo-o.

If they were beaten to death like this, explaining things to Totem Kommo-o would be difficult.

Totem Kommo-o’s status was not much lower than that of the island kahuna.

In fact, because Totem Kommo-o had lived long enough, his influence was even greater than the island kahuna’s, and his words carried weight with Tapu Fini.

Julian applied medicine to the two Cacturne, and they soon woke up.

After learning that Julian had helped them, the Cacturne were extremely grateful.

One of them took a seed from his body and handed it to Julian.

Julian accepted the seed and examined it with Aura.

"This is... a Miracle Seed?"

This one did not seem to be an ordinary Miracle Seed either. It appeared to have incorporated some effect similar to a Grassy Seed.

But the effect was not raising defence on Grassy Terrain.

It restored stamina instead.

"This Miracle Seed should be quite helpful to your lives. I can’t take it."

Cacturne shook his head and took out another Miracle Seed from his body.

He still had one, so Julian could accept it without worry.

Only then did Julian understand why the four Hakamo-o had not left.

They had planned to wait for the Cacturne to recover, then beat them again.

Those four really did have awful personalities.

At this moment, Decidueye returned, carrying the Hakamo-o that had been sent flying.

Julian checked their bodies, then gave them simple treatment.

As long as he ensured their stamina would not keep draining and threaten their lives, that was enough.

For the rest, they could slowly recover and properly experience what the Pokémon they had attacked felt after being beaten.

"Bring the four of them. We’re going to meet Totem Kommo-o."

Leaving the Hakamo-o here would not be good if, after they woke, they vented their anger on the Cacturne.

But Hakamo-o were neither particularly large nor particularly small. Bringing all four along really would make travelling inconvenient.

Julian was about to use branches and vines to make a simple stretcher and drag them along.

Then heavy footsteps came from the forest ahead.

A Kommo-o more than four metres tall pushed aside the branches and walked out of the forest.

He gave off a powerful pressure as he stared at Julian, who stood at the front.

Julian was not afraid. He looked straight back at Totem Kommo-o.

"Kommo-o, these four Hakamo-o are your sons, aren’t they? They’re causing trouble in the forest. Do you not plan to discipline them?"

Looking at the four battered Hakamo-o, Totem Kommo-o first felt anger.

Then even more anger.

The first wave of anger was because those four had snuck out behind his back to cause trouble again.

The second was because his sons had been beaten into this state.

Julian’s Hakamo-o stepped forward.

"Roar!"

Totem Kommo-o had come because he saw Decidueye flying through the air while dragging one of his badly injured sons.

He had to come and see what had happened.

Yesterday, after receiving the island kahuna’s message that a human would be coming to take the trial, he had warned these four Hakamo-o not to run out at this time.

He had not expected them to seize a chance in the middle of the night and sneak out anyway.

And they had run straight into the human taking the trial.

What Totem Kommo-o had not expected even more was that this human had raised such an outstanding Hakamo-o!

Hakamo-o wanted to shoulder all the responsibility for injuring the four Hakamo-o.

Hakamo-o knew very well that Julian wanted to meet Totem Kommo-o so he could see Tapu Fini, and so he could meet his mother.

Hakamo-o did not want these four Hakamo-o to affect Julian’s wish.

At this moment, Julian spoke.

"Mum was a gentle person. She definitely wouldn’t want the Pokémon in the forest to suffer."

"Hakamo-o, you don’t need to take responsibility alone."

Julian looked straight at Totem Kommo-o and said, "As the Totem, you failed to discipline your sons and allowed them to hurt the Pokémon of Poni Canyon."

"That is your failure. We were only correcting your mistake!"

Totem Kommo-o fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Hakamo-o.

He gave a soft growl.

"Roar~"

Hakamo-o opened his claws and raised his head, letting out a roar.

"Roar!"

His fighting spirit surged.

Cynthia asked quietly, "What did Kommo-o say?"

Julian frowned.

"He said Hakamo-o needs to battle him. If Hakamo-o’s performance satisfies him, he’ll consider our trial passed."

"He’ll hand over the Dragon-type Z-Crystal, but he’ll fight with his full strength. Hakamo-o may be killed by him. He asked whether Hakamo-o is afraid."

Cynthia narrowed her eyes.

This Totem Kommo-o was indeed very strong.

Even for her Garchomp, before gaining Dragon Dance, defeating him would not have been easy.
