Perhaps a hundred years after another war of the gods among various countries, people will recall that the strongest Guardian Gods in the world once cowered in the face of an Eevee...
And by then, will anyone believe it...
"So..."
As the world held its breath, eagerly awaiting President Antonio to declare Fang Yuan's successful conquest of ten arenas, suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Kapu—"
Tapu Koko suddenly spoke up.
"Nana~~"
Tapu Lele joined in as well.
The two of them nodded with smiley expressions, as if they were saying something.
"Oh my... Rotom."
At this moment, with Rotom the drone's surprising addition, the Kapu family suddenly interjected, catching everyone off guard.
This, this...
It hastily translated, "The Tapu Guardian Deity says that ending things like this would be a bit boring."
"They suggest having a performance battle between them and this Eevee, with them as Eevee's opponents, to serve as the closing match for the forenoon."
"And they're asking if everyone would like to see that, and whether Fang Yuan and Eevee are willing to accept, Rotom!!!"
"They want to show everyone the most powerful exclusive Z-Move of the Kapu Clan, Guardian of Alola!!!"
Fang Yuan: ?
Eevee: ???
Truth be told, Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele felt a bit uncomfortable themselves when Fang Yuan was forced to put on a show.
Tapu Koko, the strongest Guardian God in the Kapu family, was quite belligerent and often sought out battles with Trainers and Pokemon.
And Tapu Lele enjoyed battling the most; however, due to its incredible strength, if the opponent was weak, it would beat them until they were near death, heal them, then beat them again.
As for Tapu Bulu, serious, low-key and lazy; Tapu Fini, dutiful and kind-hearted with a fairly good temperament.
After careful consideration, Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele felt they couldn't let Fang Yuan get away with just putting on an act; they had to show off a bit themselves.
So, Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele secretly communicated with the other two Guardian Gods and planned a performance battle.
All four of us together, very stable.
It was time to perform miracles before everyone.
To them, even that Monferno from earlier would not defeat them had they acted together; and although this Eevee was not weak, it surely couldn't be stronger than the Monferno, could it?
After all, that Monferno had fought by burning its lifeline guidance.
The Kapu family had observed Eevee for a long time and deemed it to be on the same level as Darkrai and the Armed Magnetic Monster at best; and if it were any stronger, only marginally so.
Even if Eevee possessed fledgling High Legend strength, they could withstand it.
Though ganging up might seem underhanded and crafty, it ensured stability, and they wouldn't go too far as it was only a performance battle.
After all, Eevee was once half their student.
"Uh..." As the Kapu family finished speaking, President Antonio was stunned.
What, what?!
The Tapu Guardian Deities, facing Fang Yuan and Eevee in battle?!!!
"Holy shit."
"What kind of twist is this!"
"I wanna see it, definitely wanna see it."
"Go Tapu Guardian Gods!!!"
Some Trainers who had lamented not seeing the Armed Magnetic Monster and Eevee battle were suddenly thrilled.
The Tapu Guardian Gods, even if it's just a performance battle, legendary battles could be worth an entire house in tickets – and now they're getting to see it for free!
"Doctor Fang Yuan, you must agree to it."
"Go go go."
"This is a once in a lifetime chance to see the Tapu Guardian Deities fight together."
Fang Yuan had a weird expression. Did the Kapu family really like to show off in front of others that much? Weren't they afraid of a setback?
In the ultimate battle of Sun and Moon, Tapu Koko had even sought out Xiaozhi and Pikachu, and although many claimed that battle was Tapu testing Xiaozhi, given that even the Z Pure Crystal for Ten million volts was made with the help of the Kapu family, Fang Yuan suddenly had a bold guess at the current situation.
Could it be that Tapu Koko had goofed up? After all, Z-Moves rely on the joint power of Pokemon and Trainers, and with Xiaozhi's incredible potential as a super-rookie and Pikachu's potential accumulated from numerous divine battles, once their bonds combined to unleash a super Z-Move fusing nine shiny lightnings, if Tapu Koko were only in a testing mindset, it could indeed have miscalculated and turned the tables on itself.
"Is this okay..." Fang Yuan looked puzzled.
"Kapu—" Tapu Koko reassured Fang Yuan.
The Guardian of Alola was very unlikely to kill a Pokemon.
Fang Yuan, Eevee: "..."
That's not the problem.
It's that you might get killed.
"Well then..."
"We'll fight with all our might."
Fang Yuan hinted for the last time; as Victini's Trainer, he approached every battle with a desire to win. If things got tough later, don't blame him for not being considerate.
"Kapu—"
The Karp guardian gods looked at Fang Yuan appreciatively.
Very good, very good, as expected.
"..." Fang Yuan really didn't expect the Kapu family to be so eager for a showdown.
Initially, he planned to stop acting nice just once and challenge them himself. Now, seeing this... did they really want him to keep playing nice?
"Bwoo!!!" Eevee looked at Fang Yuan. Are we really going to fight???
Fang Yuan nodded at Eevee, no worries.
We're not unable to win.
It's just that you'll be tired, that's all.
Even though it wouldn't end up as tragic as Monferno lying exhausted for a long time, Eevee might still feel worn out for a few days after an all-out battle with the Kapu family.
Legend-level battles consume too much power.
