"Someone has discovered the whereabouts of Tapu Fini."
"So soon?"
Catlin was very surprised. Born in Sinnoh, she was actually not unfamiliar with myths and legends.
Especially Cynthia is a fan of mythology and likes to do archaeology and research on the legendary Pokémon in mythological stories.
So, through what she heard and saw, Catlin also had some understanding of the legendary Pokémon.
Mysterious and powerful, this is the most direct portrayal of the legendary Pokémon.
Catlin knew that the Tapus in Alola were different from the mysterious legendary Pokémon in the Sinnoh region, but it was too fast to find traces of Tapu.Fini in just a few days.
"It's not surprising that the Tapus are not so wary of humans." Mammon shook his head.
It was really not surprising to him that Tapu's whereabouts were discovered so quickly.
"Let's go to Poni Island."
Mammon and Catlin set out for Poni Island.
Poni Island is an island in the western part of the Alola region, and Tapu Fini is the guardian of Poni Island.
Poni Island is also the only island that currently does not have an island king. Mammon, who has played the game, certainly knows this.
In order to inherit her late grandfather's position as the king of the island, Hapuu honed herself and traveled around the world, and was eventually chosen by Tapu Fini as the queen of the island.
But unfortunately, she probably won't be able to succeed in this world.
Arrived at a beach on Poni Island.
"Master! Lady Catlin!"
Seeing Mammon and Catlin coming, two people, one fat and one thin, wearing Team Rocket uniforms hurriedly came over to greet them.
"Where's Tapu. Finfin?"
"It's right there, sir." The thin member of Team Rocket pointed to a purple shell on the sea.
"Tapu. Finfin doesn't like humans getting too close to it, so we can only watch from a distance."
Skinny was originally from Poni Island, so he knew a little about Tapu Fini's temper.
"Very good, well done. You will go to Plumeria later to receive a thousand merits."
Mammon praised the two.
"Thank you, Master."
The thin man and the fat man were very excited. A thousand merits was really a lot.
Mammon took out a Poké Ball and walked slowly towards Tapu Fini. Catlin took light steps and followed behind Mammon.
What the skinny Rocket Team member said was right, Tapu Fini was indeed floating on the sea at the moment, seemingly basking in the sun.
Tapu Fini has a violet shell, and the main body inside the shell is a black body shaped like a mermaid with long gray-blue hair.
"fi?"
Tapu Fini heard the undisguised footsteps on the beach. The shell slowly turned around, and Tapu Fini saw Mammon approaching.
"Hello, Tapu Fini."
Mammon slowly raised the corner of his mouth and greeted Tapu Fini.
"fini?"
Kapufinfin looked at Mammon indifferently and made a puzzled sound.
Most of the legendary Pokémon in the game are genderless, and Tapu.Fini is no exception, but in the anime, its and Tapu.Fini 's calls are indeed female.
"It's nothing, actually. I think you and I are very compatible."
When Mammon heard Tapu Fini asking about his purpose of coming, the smile on his face became even wider.
"So can you please be my partner? Tapu Fini, I quite like you."
"..." Tapu Fini looked at Mammon speechlessly. If it hadn't felt that this human gave it a very friendly feeling, it would have ignored him.
As the patron saint of Poni Island, Tapu Fini's duty is to protect Poni Island. However, over the long years, many people who coveted Tapu Fini's power came to harass it without knowing the consequences.
Up to now, Tapu Fini has become very annoyed with this kind of people, so it rarely appears in front of humans now.
"fi~"
Tapu. Finfin shook his head to refuse, and the violet shell floated up and prepared to leave.
"What a cold attitude! You refuse without even a moment's hesitation?" Mammon raised his eyebrows, not too surprised.
"But it took a lot of effort to find you, I can't let you leave easily."
A black light suddenly shone on Tapu Fini's body. Tapu Fini felt the restraint and turned around suddenly, his cold eyes falling on the human boy.
Hehehe~
A low, evil laugh sounded, and scarlet eyes lit up. Gengar rose from Mammon's shadow, grinning.
It is the black eyes of Shiny Gengar! It prevents the opponent from returning to the Poké Ball, but it has a different effect when used on wild Pokémon.
Tapu Fini can't leave here for a short time unless it defeats Shiny Gengar.
Good fellow! Catlin glanced at Mammon and Shiny Gengar. This is too barbaric. Tapu Fini must be very angry now.
"fifi!!"
And precisely because of this, Tapu Fini's announcement seemed much colder and more angry.
"Don't be so angry. You should understand me. I like you so much, why don't you even give me a chance to win you over?"
Instead, Mammon pushed the blame onto Tapu Fini, still with that sunny smile on his face.
"fi! fi!! (But I don't like you, human!)"
Tapu. Fini almost couldn't hold it in. Just because you like me, I have to respond to you?
People who like me, Tapu Fini, can go around the entire Poni Island, so how long do I have to wait for my response?
"If you could get to know me better, I believe your attitude towards me would change."
Mammon played with the Poké Ball in his hand nonchalantly. He was not in a hurry as he had plenty of time today.
"How about a battle? If I defeat you, you'll be my Pokémon. Otherwise, I'll let you go."
Mammon felt that he was being reasonable.
"fi!"
In response to Mammon, there was a huge water cannon. Of course, Tapu Fini was the guardian of the island after all, and the water cannon was aimed at the Shiny Gengar in front of Mammon.
Tapu Fini is very unhappy! Especially the mocking smile on the face of this fat Pokémon.
"Raid." Mammon chuckled.
A black light flashed in the gray fat man's eyes, and his body turned into a gray shadow. He dodged the incoming bubbles like lightning and suddenly attacked Tapu Fini's side.
The black claws tore directly into Tapu Fini's body, causing Tapu Fini's body to shake a little, but that was all.
The evil-type first-choice attack!
Tapu Fini is resistant to surprise attacks, and its defense is excellent, so the damage of this surprise attack is very average.
but...
"Hehehe~"
The fat gray man grinned evilly again, swaying his body from side to side, and even sticking out his long tongue and shaking it at Tapu Fini.
The key point was that the tongue was dangling right in front of Tapu Fini's face, almost touching it!
Tapu Fini immediately controlled Shell to retreat, gritting his teeth, with a black '#' rising on his forehead.
"Do you feel it, Tapu. Fini? Gengar is very enthusiastic about you, and he likes you too."
"fi??"
