Chapter 523 Alola Situation
Liushui is a famous luxury cruise ship in the Johto region. Although it is not as good as the Santiano in Kanto, not everyone can board this ship.
At this time, Yang Ming's two adjutants were feasting in the first-class cabin of Liushui.
"It's delicious, really delicious!" Tokugawa kept stuffing food into his mouth. "Boss, why don't you eat something so delicious?"
Yang Ming was looking through the information about the Alola region, not even bothering to raise his head: "I'm full, you can share the rest."
What a joke! I've already had a feast on the Shengtiannu when I was a pawn. Is it necessary for me to wolf down this little feast like a starving ghost?
Although the experience on the Sant'Anou is hard to describe...
"If you ask me, the biggest advantage of following the minister is that you will never suffer a loss in terms of material things," Jones said as he poured food into his plate. "Look, since we started following the minister, we have always had good food and drink, and we have never even had to sleep outdoors."
"That's right!"
Yang Ming chatted with the two of them in a casual manner, while verifying the information about the Alola region with his own memories one by one.
The Alola Islands are a region consisting of four large islands and countless small islands. The islands are rich in resources and produce a variety of tree fruits. In addition, the Pokémon ecology here is also well protected, and there are many Pokémon that are rare in other regions living here.
Just as Yang Ming remembered, the Alola Alliance had not yet been established. The entire Alola region was ruled by four "Island Kings" and "Island Queens".
The so-called King and Queen of the Island are positions that can only be held by people chosen by the local "Guardian of the Island". They are powerful, comparable to the King-level existence of the League, and have absolute say in the Alola region.
Under the King and Queen of the Island, there are seven captain-level characters. These people have a status similar to that of gym owners. They are responsible for assessing trainers and taking care of the "dominant" level Pokémon living in the Alola region.
Overlord Pokémon are a type of Pokémon that are unique to the Alola region. They live on various islands in the Alola region and command a large number of wild Pokémon. These Overlord Pokémon are huge in size and have the ability to summon and command wild Pokémon groups. Their unique "overlord aura" also gives them a unique ability enhancement.
"The robot Pokémon created by Team Rocket should also be the technology developed from these overlords."
Yang Ming continued reading. In fact, Team Rocket had captured these Overlord Pokémon before, but when they were taken away from Alola, these Overlord Pokémon would lose their special abilities. Except for their extremely large size, they were no different from other Pokémon. Relevant researchers speculated that the abilities of the Overlord Pokémon may come from the four island guardians of the Alola region, so they would lose their abilities after leaving the Alola region.
In addition, although these dominant Pokémon are huge and powerful, they rarely attack humans. Even the seven captains of the Alola region are each responsible for taking care of a dominant Pokémon and assisting the trainers in completing their pilgrimage to the islands.
"The island guardian corresponds to the island king and queen, and the overlord Pokémon corresponds to the captain..."
Yang Ming began to look through the relevant information of the four islands in the Alola region. These four islands are Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula'ula Island and Poni Island.
Melemele Island is an island in the northwest of the Alola region. The island has a small population and residents still retain many traditional customs of the Alola region. The patron saint of this island is Kapu Kokoko. The current king of the island is Hara, who is good at using fighting attributes, and there is only one captain, Ilima, who is good at using normal attributes.
Seeing this, Yang Ming couldn't help but smile knowingly. He had saved the life of Hala's grandson, Ha Wu, and had a special relationship with Hala himself. If he used Melemele Island as his base, it would be as comfortable as returning home for him.
Located in the northeast is Akara Island, which has the most developed business in the entire Alola region. It has the largest population and the largest town cluster in the entire Alola region. In addition, it has the largest port in the Alola region. It has also done a very good job in environmental protection, and several nature parks have been established here.
The island queen who rules here is a young woman named Lizzie, who was chosen by the island guardian of Akala Island, Kapu Butterfly, and is good at using rock-attribute Pokémon. In addition, since Lizzie is still single, she is currently actively dating to find a suitable male partner.
"Akala Island? This island is very suitable as the base of our Rocket Team," Yang Ming thought to himself, "But why do we need to specifically introduce the island queen's marital status when introducing her?"
However, when Yang Ming finished reading all the information about Lizi, he understood what was going on. It turned out that Lizi herself was very anxious about her long-term single status. Not only did she actively arrange blind dates, she even emphasized in all her information that she was still single. All official documents about her were labeled as eager to find a partner. Yang Ming shook his head helplessly and continued reading.
There are three captains on Akala Island, namely Suiren who is good at water attribute, Khaki who is good at fire attribute and Mao who is good at grass attribute. Akala Island has the most captains in the entire Alola region.
"Personal feelings aside, Akala Island is actually more suitable for Team Rocket to base itself on than Melemele Island because it has a larger population and more developed industries. Taking over here will allow us to better control the other three islands."
It’s a pity that he has no friendship with the island queen Lizzie, so it is much more difficult to march into Akala Island than Melemele Island.
The third island is Ula'ula Island, located in the southeast of the Alola region. The climate here is changeable and storms often rage. The patron saint of the island is Kapu Moo, and the king of the island is the policeman Merdan, who is good at dark attribute Pokémon. There are two captains here, Acerola, who is good at ghost attributes, and Mamane, who is good at electric attributes.
Compared to the previous two islands, there are several forces entrenched on Ula'ula Island. In addition to the island king and two captains, the native evil organization Skull Team of the Alola region has been entrenched here for a long time. The Aether Foundation has also established a base on Ula'ula Island. It is a place where all kinds of people gather.
"It seems that even Team Rocket doesn't know that there are more forces on Ula'ula Island than the ones on the surface." As a time traveler, Yang Ming naturally knows some special information. For example, in addition to his public identity, the island king Merdan is actually the international criminal police of the alliance.
His captain, Aserola, is the last descendant of the ancient Alola royal family and a true princess.
Although the other captain, Mamane, has a relatively ordinary identity, his cousin, Ma Ruiyin, is a top-level master hidden in the Alola region and is also a computer genius.
"A small Ula'la Island gathers so many people and forces of extraordinary status. It really should not be underestimated." Yang Ming sighed in his heart.
