"Solar Beam!"
Victreebel raised its petals, having long finished gathering the sunlight. A pillar of light instantly fired out, shooting at Tapu Lele with extreme speed.
Tapu Lele was about to dodge, but the surrounding plants instantly sprang to life, launching suicidal attacks at Tapu Lele.
Tapu Lele immediately had a massive headache. Delayed by the surrounding plants, it had no way to escape the range of the Solar Beam.
With no other choice, Tapu Lele suddenly retreated into its shell, using its body to forcefully tank the Solar Beam attack.
Hiding inside its shell, Tapu Lele breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the Solar Beam dissipated, it opened its shell, only to be met by a barrage of Razor Leaves from Victreebel!
What the heck?
Tapu Lele thrust its hands forward, and a Psychic attack rushed out, blocking the Razor Leaf barrage.
But before it could relax, one Energy Ball after another was fired at it, continuously colliding with the Psychic barrier.
In that instant, Tapu Lele felt extremely annoyed.
This was a firepower suppression, and it was especially terrifying now that Victreebel had mastered high-intensity mobility!
A powerful psychic force erupted, and Tapu Lele instantly suppressed Victreebel's firepower.
A silhouette of a full moon appeared behind Tapu Lele. An Energy Ball as large as three or four soccer balls instantly converged. With a wave of Tapu Lele's hand, the Moonblast shot toward Victreebel.
Victreebel glanced at the energy fluctuation of the Moonblast and instantly understood that being hit by it would at least severely injure it.
With a thought, Victreebel vanished from its spot the moment the Moonblast descended.
When it reappeared, it was already on Tapu Lele's left side.
Tapu Lele sneered, waving its arm to the left. The Moonblast, which should have hit the ground, suddenly took a sharp turn and shot toward Victreebel.
"Controllable?"
Ace frowned slightly, then called out: "Grass Knot!"
"Woosh!"
The moment Ace's voice fell, a tornado formed by countless leaves enveloped Tapu Lele's Moonblast.
The leaves spun, fiercely grinding down the Moonblast inside, counteracting it again and again. The volume of the Moonblast was continuously shrinking.
Victreebel disappeared from its spot again. When the Grass Knot vanished, the original Moonblast was only the size of a fist, completely incapable of causing significant harm to Victreebel.
"Splash!"
Victreebel suddenly opened its mouth, spraying out a dark purple venom that poured down onto Tapu Lele.
Tapu Lele pointed a finger. The highly toxic venom was instantly defeated. Although it had the Fairy type, it also possessed the Psychic type. Poison-type moves trying to get close to it were lacking.
"Sizzle..."
The venom landed on the ground, immediately making a sizzling, corrosive sound.
But at that moment, Tapu Lele was instantly stunned, because its Psychic Terrain was rapidly disappearing!
Seeing this scene, Ace smiled slightly.
Victreebel's venom was never meant to attack Tapu Lele; it was meant to corrode Tapu Lele's Psychic Terrain.
Victreebel's method of plant manipulation was somewhat counteracted by a Pokémon that possessed a Terrain ability.
After all, any attack direction first had to break through the Psychic Terrain, allowing Tapu Lele to instantly grasp Victreebel's attack direction and avoid the most lethal attacks.
And now, that advantage no longer existed!
Instantly, a large number of plants burst out of the ground, quickly wrapping around Tapu Lele.
Seeing this, Tapu Lele extended its arms, and an invisible Psychic barrier enveloped its entire body.
But the next moment, it was firmly tied into a ball by a mass of plants again.
Tapu Lele felt the stable Psychic barrier and sighed in relief. These attacks looked scary, but the actual damage was not significant; they only served to trap it.
If Ace knew Tapu Lele's thoughts at that moment, he would probably burst out laughing.
Trapping the enemy is precisely for better damage output, isn't it?
Especially right now!
Just as Tapu Lele's heightened guard slightly relaxed, a slender vine shot out like lightning, piercing through Tapu Lele's Psychic barrier and burying itself into Tapu Lele's body.
Before Tapu Lele could even react, a mixture of three kinds of Powders was injected into Tapu Lele's body.
Outside, the plants slowly receded. Tapu Lele, enveloped within, fell into a deep sleep and dropped weakly onto the ground.
"Success!"
Ace smiled faintly. Without Ace having to do it himself, Victreebel's vine quickly scraped some of Tapu Lele's unique scales from its body.
After all this was done, Ace took out a few Berries and had Victreebel place them next to Tapu Lele.
They were mostly for curing paralysis, poisoning, and restoring stamina.
When Tapu Lele woke up from its sleep, it could immediately start eating.
Ace found a sealed bag, stored the scales properly, and then checked his Title Quest.
The quest was successfully completed after Ace collected Tapu Lele's scales.
The Title for this quest was called Guardian Deity.
"Guardian Deity (4-Star): When worn, Pokémon's strength is increased by 10% on Akala Island."
A very practical title, but somewhat useless for Ace.
After all, this title was geographically limited. Outside Akala Island, the title was useless.
Ace was not settling on Akala Island, so this title was destined to be used as fodder to upgrade Ace's main title.
"It's over?"
Little Green saw the dust settle and walked forward, looking at the grounded Tapu Lele. She asked Ace: "Aren't you going to catch it? This Pokémon looks very strong."
"No need. The Pokémon I have on me now are sufficient."
Ace shook his head and said: "Besides, these types of Pokémon are the local deities of a region. Catching them would more or less have an impact on the local ecology."
"Alright then."
Little Green didn't press the matter. She stretched, showing off her attractive figure, and asked: "Where are we going next?"
"I'm taking you to a fun place, one that will be very helpful for boosting your strength."
Ace said with a smile, while pulling out a bracelet from his waist bag and tossing it to Little Green.
Little Green caught the bracelet and inspected the groove on it, asking in confusion: "What is this?"
"This is a Z-Ring."
Ace explained to Little Green: "This is something unique to the Alola region. If you embed a corresponding Z-Crystal of a certain type into it, you can boost the power of a Pokémon's move once."
"There's something like this?"
Little Green's eyes lit up, clearly interested in what Ace had said.
Ace was also very interested in Z-Crystals. After all, in the game, Mega Evolution and Z-Moves could not be used together.
However, in reality, this situation could definitely be achieved.
After Mega Evolving, then unleashing a full-power attack—how powerful would that move be?
Ace was very curious!
