In an extremely frustrated state, Lisia handed the two Rockium Z crystals to Ace and Little Green.
Then, upon learning the true strength of Ace and Little Green, Lisia's face instantly felt burning hot.
Recalling the words she had spoken earlier, Lisia felt like finding a hole to crawl into.
It was simply too embarrassing!
Afterward, upon learning the news that Ace and his companion were visiting for a vacation, Lisia shared a piece of information with them.
About ten nautical miles near Konikoni City, there was an uninhabited small island.
The scenery there was excellent, and because no humans had ever set foot on it, the Pokémon on the island had no defenses against people. Therefore, she suggested they could go visit it.
However, after telling Ace and Little Green about the island, Lisia specifically cautioned them.
That is, they absolutely must not casually catch any Pokémon on that island.
Of course, if a Pokémon was willing to leave with them, that would be a different matter.
Little Green specifically asked Lisia why they couldn't catch them.
In Lisia's words, it was precisely because the Pokémon on the island were defenseless against humans that the scenery was so beautiful.
If people setting foot on the island did not abide by this rule, the Pokémon on the island would become wary of humans.
Then, the natural beauty that belonged to that small island would cease to exist.
This was an unofficial, private rule among the local residents of Alola.
Unless they were close friends, local residents basically wouldn't mention this island to outsiders.
The purpose was to ensure that this small island could remain a pure land.
It was clear that Ace and Little Green were both interested.
After all, having grown accustomed to the brutal jungle law of wild Pokémon, encountering a paradise-like island would likely interest anyone.
Bidding farewell to Lisia, Ace and Little Green went to the pier. After releasing Lapras, the two boarded Lapras and slowly sailed toward the island Lisia had mentioned.
...
Meanwhile, on the very island that Ace and his companion were sailing toward, an Ultra Wormhole suddenly appeared in the sky.
As the rift gradually expanded, a wire-like, humanoid Pokémon soon squeezed through the crack and out of the Ultra Wormhole, then fell weakly into a swampy area on the island.
"Plop."
The mud instantly stained the massive figure. The powerless Pokémon did not struggle much, only lying silently in the wetland, slowly gathering its strength.
The Ultra Wormhole in the sky slowly vanished. Some Barboach and Wooper that had been scared away earlier now slowly gathered toward the massive creature, waddling on their short legs.
Just as these little Pokémon approached, the large creature's six flat "fingers" moved instantly, grabbing two Barboach that hadn't reacted in time.
The two Barboach struggled desperately, trying to break free from its grasp, but it was futile.
As the group of Pokémon scattered, the captured Barboach were stuffed into the giant Pokémon's white, sea urchin-like head by its arms.
Following a chilling, bone-crunching sound of chewing, when the two arms withdrew from the head, the Barboach that had been in its grasp were gone.
...
"This must be the place."
After two hours of leisurely travel, Lapras brought Ace and Little Green to the beach of a decently large small island.
Ace and Little Green jumped onto the sand, and Ace recalled Lapras.
They looked towards the island, and the first thing they saw were the towering Alolan Exeggutor.
Ace pointed at the cluster of Exeggutor and mentioned it to Little Green, who was also a little shocked looking at the tall Pokémon.
The Exeggutor noticed Ace and Little Green's arrival, but they didn't attack them. Instead, they smiled, picked up a long, slender branch in their mouth, bent their necks, and placed the branch in Ace's hands.
Ace glanced at the two Oran Berries on the branch. He and Little Green were certain that this was the island Lisia had mentioned.
"How unique. The Pokémon here really aren't afraid of people, and they're very friendly."
Little Green tried petting the Exeggutor. The Pokémon didn't shy away but smiled, enjoying Little Green's touch.
Watching as Ace and Little Green picked and ate the Oran Berries, the Exeggutor raised its head and slowly walked toward the interior of the island, following its group.
After finishing the Oran Berries, Ace and Little Green walked toward the heart of the island.
As they moved toward the center, Ace and his companion saw all sorts of Pokémon along the way. However, just as Lisia had said, the Pokémon on this island truly weren't afraid of people; instead, they observed Ace and Little Green curiously.
Those who were more friendly were quite willing to share their food with Ace and his companion.
Passing through a not-too-dense patch of woods, Ace and his companion arrived at the island's center, which was also a large freshwater lake.
At the edge of the lake, many Pokémon were drinking water. In the clear lake, a large number of Water-type Pokémon could be seen playing.
"Look, there are Squirtle too!"
Little Green suddenly called out to Ace, pointing toward the edge of the lake.
Ace looked in the direction Little Green was pointing and saw two Blastoise guiding a young Squirtle in swimming.
It looked like a harmonious family.
There was no fighting, no bloodshed here. It was truly a rare piece of pure land in this cruel world.
The two found a rock to sit on. Little Green, watching the scene, couldn't help but praise, "No wonder Lisia told us not to catch the Pokémon on the island. This kind of scene is simply too precious to destroy."
Ace also nodded. Since his transmigration, what he had witnessed were always cruel scenes. Seeing such a beautiful sight, Ace felt his whole spirit being healed.
"I truly hope that such beautiful scenes can be seen everywhere in the future."
Ace said sincerely. However, he also knew that reaching the conditions of this island was fundamentally impossible.
However, the Pokémon League was currently implementing the Berry Cultivation Plan. Once the mature Berry trees were cultivated and widely planted in the wild, the food supply for wild Pokémon would be secured.
At that time, the brutal jungle law in the wild would be greatly diminished, and people traveling in the wild wouldn't have to be constantly on edge.
Just as Ace and Little Green were sitting on the rock, enjoying the beautiful scenery, a large number of Flying-type Pokémon suddenly soared up from the distant forest.
Simultaneously, there were sounds of intense and fearful cries.
This sudden turn of events completely shattered the healing and tranquility in the hearts of Ace and Little Green.
Both of them frowned. Having finally been able to relax and enjoy the scenery, only to have it suddenly interrupted, anyone would feel a certain degree of anger.
Moreover, they absolutely could not forgive whoever was causing trouble and destroying the peace on this utopian island!
