Chapter 291: Tapu Bulu’s Trial

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Tapu Bulu’s Trial

A/N:8/10 Bonus Chapters

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

Riding Dragonair, Mohn smiled as he introduced Aula to Julian and Cynthia.

"Aula’s family used to be Alolan royalty. Although they’ve already declined..."

"Aula still has a few small problems, so don’t mind him too much. I’ll handle communicating with him later."

"You two can play with his daughter, Acerola. Julian, you have plenty of snacks in your backpack. If you coax her well, Aula will definitely behave."

Julian nodded.

Aula should be Acerola’s unnamed father from the games.

Communicating with children was indeed something Julian was good at.

Mohn had truly helped him far too much during this trial.

No matter what, Julian had to help him dig out Celesteela.

Mohn directly brought the two of them all the way to Aula’s home.

As a fallen royal family, Aula’s home was a villa.

Judging by the plants in the villa’s courtyard, his family was doing quite well.

Buying a villa cost little compared to properly maintaining one.

After they rang the doorbell, a voice quickly came through the speaker.

"May I ask who has come to visit?"

Mohn smiled and said, "Butler Karl, it’s me, Mohn. I’ve brought two friends to visit Aula."

Butler Karl said, "Please wait a moment. I’ll send a car to pick you up."

The fact that they needed to take a car from the gate to the villa showed how expensive managing this estate was.

After taking the car to the villa, Aula, wearing a purple suit, stood at the entrance to welcome Mohn’s arrival.

"My friend, welcome."

Mohn warmly stepped forward and hugged Aula, then introduced Julian and Cynthia.

After learning that Julian had passed Tapu Fini’s trial, Aula was somewhat surprised.

For an ordinary island challenge, passing the trials of the kahuna and Totem Pokémon was enough.

Only the kahuna’s trial required recognition from Tapu Fini.

"Is this the successor chosen by Sofu?"

Julian shook his head.

"No. I’m not Alolan, so I cannot become kahuna."

Aula immediately withdrew his gaze and continued smiling at Mohn.

"My friend, why have you brought these two here?"

Mohn waved his hand.

"No rush. Where is Acerola? I haven’t seen her in ages."

Aula turned his head.

"Go and invite the young lady over."

Acerola soon arrived in the living room, led by a maid.

"Papa."

Acerola threw herself into Aula’s arms, and Aula immediately revealed a brilliant smile.

He was a father who loved his daughter.

If Julian gained Acerola’s favour, he could indeed gain Aula’s help.

A flash of blue light passed through Julian’s eyes as he examined Acerola’s body.

Julian smiled and said, "Acerola is a beautiful girl, and she has remarkable talent for raising Ghost-type Pokémon."

"She should have a special ability, shouldn’t she, Mr Aula?"

Aula was somewhat surprised.

"I didn’t expect Mr Julian to discover that."

Aula stroked Acerola’s purple hair.

"Acerola is indeed more talented than I am. When she grows up, she should be able to become Ula’ula Island’s kahuna."

"She’s better than her father!"

Julian smiled and said, "The growth of a Ghost-type special ability places high demands on Acerola’s life force."

"I have some fruit rich in vitality here. It should be of some help to Acerola."

Julian reached into his backpack, but in truth, he was taking out a system reward: fruit from the Tree of Beginning.

As Julian took out fruit after fruit from his backpack, Aula’s expression immediately became serious.

"Mr Julian, can you provide these fruits steadily? They only need to last until Acerola turns ten."

Julian shook his head.

"Sorry, I only obtained some by chance. However, Alola’s Berries are also excellent. As long as they are properly combined, they will also be very helpful to her body."

"I imagine this is also why Mr Aula wants to become the kahuna of Ula’ula Island?"

Aula nodded.

"Tapu Bulu controls the richest land on Ula’ula Island. If I can obtain Berries grown by Tapu Bulu..."

"Acerola’s talent will be able to develop fully without harming her body."

Mohn frowned.

"Why didn’t you tell me about something this important? Do you still consider me your friend?"

Aula waved his hand.

"Precisely because you are my friend, I couldn’t bring such a troublesome matter to you."

Mohn rubbed his chin.

"I study Ultra Wormholes, so I’ve also done some research into Alola’s unique environment."

"With the right equipment, I should be able to create an energy-rich environment and grow fruits and berries of sufficient quality for Acerola’s needs."

"For Acerola’s sake, don’t refuse me."

Of course, they definitely could not compare to the fruits Julian had taken out.

The unique environment of the Tree of Beginning was not something technology could simulate.

Aula held Acerola and nodded.

"Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

Julian picked up a bunch of crystal grapes and handed them to Acerola.

"Acerola, try these. They’re very sweet."

Acerola glanced at Aula first before accepting the crystal grapes.

After eating one, her eyes shone brightly.

"It’s really tasty. It feels like there’s a cool, gentle air moving around inside my body. It’s very comfortable."

Only then did Mohn explain why they had come.

After learning that Julian only wanted to see his mother once, Aula was deeply moved. This kind of mother-and-son affection really moved him.

"I’ll definitely help!"

Although Aula was not yet the kahuna, no one in his generation could compare with him.

He had the greatest chance of succeeding as kahuna. It was just uncertain whether he could hold the position for long.

The pressure of being kahuna was immense. Without enough strength, one might not be able to withstand it.

"I know which part of Ula’ula Island Tapu Bulu has been active in recently."

Aula rode a Tropius and introduced Tapu Bulu as they travelled.

"Although the seasons on Ula’ula Island aren’t especially distinct, Tapu Bulu farms in different areas during different times of the year."

"This season, he should be planting Berries in the west."

After flying to the foot of the mountain, Aula led them down to the ground.

"We’ll need to walk the rest of the way ourselves. Tapu Bulu doesn’t really like people flying around in the sky. Keeping your feet on the ground makes a better impression on him."

From the foot of the mountain to Tapu Bulu’s farmland, there was not even a mountain path.

The climb was extremely difficult.

When the four of them reached the top, Tapu Bulu was sleeping on a large stone slab covered in grass.

Aula stepped forward.

"Honoured Tapu Bulu, there is someone who wishes to take your trial."

Julian took out a bunch of crystal grapes and offered them to Tapu Bulu.

Tapu Bulu immediately became alert. He flew over, accepted the crystal grapes, and stuffed them all into his mouth to chew.

Tapu Bulu’s eyes lit up.

Using his tail, he softened the soil, then spat all the seeds into it.

It seemed casual, but every seed was spaced extremely evenly.

Julian used Aura, and Tapu Bulu asked excitedly, "Did you grow these crystal grapes?"

Julian shook his head.

"These crystal grapes were born naturally from the world. They were not grown by human hands."

Tapu Bulu’s expression immediately returned to calm.

He pointed at a piece of land covered entirely in weeds and stones and said, "Your trial is to reclaim that piece of land by yourself."
