LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 57: ch-57
Before the next round of the peak battle could start, a strange mechanical voice sounded:
**"In order to facilitate the next insights, we have specially invited Professor Kukui from the Alola Region!"**
As the mechanical voice finished, a white ball of light flickered slightly, and then a blue vortex door opened.
A healthy man with wheat-colored skin, wearing a white coat, stepped out confidently.
**Alola Region, Alola School.**
"Kukui? Wasn't Professor Kukui just here? How did he get there so quickly!?"
Kiawe looked at the screen, shocked to see Professor Kukui, who had been standing at the podium moments ago, now teleported to the grand Palace Gate Stadium.
"This is... really mysterious."
Mamane nodded in agreement.
"Look! Professor Kukui is now appearing on the big screen," Lillie exclaimed excitedly.

**Palace Gate Stadium**
Professor Kukui looked around at his surroundings, noticing countless pairs of curious eyes on him. Despite the attention, Kukui maintained his signature smile and greeted the global audience:
**"Alola! I am Professor Kukui from the tropical southern islands of the Alola Region."**
Professor Oak, seated among the distinguished guests, smiled warmly and greeted him back:
**"Kukui, long time no see!"**
The two professors exchanged smiles. As Professor Oak's cousin, Samson Oak, served as the principal of Alola School, Kukui and Oak had crossed paths numerous times before.
Professor Oak introduced Kukui to the audience:
**"Professor Kukui is the chief Pokémon researcher of the Alola Region. He is known for his keen interest in moves and has even tested Pokémon attacks on himself several times."**
**"Tested moves on himself!?"** Wallace and the other champions were stunned.
"That sounds like something Ash would do!" someone muttered in disbelief.
Kukui, seemingly unfazed by the attention, continued smiling.

Steven Stone, intrigued, asked, **"Professor Kukui, I'm curious. How can one obtain the special Z-Crystals of the Alola Region?"**
Kukui explained, **"The way to acquire Z-Crystals is straightforward. However, it's important to understand that Z-Crystals are naturally formed in the Alola Region."**
**"Trainers must gain the approval of nature before they can successfully use Z-Moves. Otherwise, even if someone possesses a Z-Crystal, it will shatter upon use."**
Steven's curiosity deepened. **"How does one earn nature's approval?"**
Kukui smiled and elaborated:
**"To gain nature's approval, one must participate in the Alola Island Challenge and earn recognition from the Island Kahunas or Island Queens. Trainers may also challenge the Totem Pokémon of Alola to prove themselves."**
**"However, the most reliable method is to gain the blessing of the legendary guardian deities—the Tapu Clan. They are the source of the special energy within Z-Crystals."**
---
At the mention of the Tapu Clan, the audience's curiosity was piqued.
**"The Tapu Clan? Guardian deities? Who are they!?"** murmured voices filled the stadium.
The green screen lit up once more, capturing everyone's attention.
The image displayed a mysterious Pokémon with a black body, orange legs, and half-shell-like hands decorated with intricate patterns.
Kukui introduced it with enthusiasm:
**"This is Tapu Koko, the guardian deity of Melemele Island in the Alola Region."**
Chairman Damaranch looked at the screen in awe. **"This guardian Pokémon feels much more powerful than Zapdos, one of the legendary birds of Kanto."**
---
The screen shifted to show Tapu Koko flying in the moonlit night. Suddenly, a pink Pokémon resembling a cat appeared before it—Mew!
Professor Oak exclaimed, **"Mew! The original Pokémon! I didn't expect to see it here."**
The champions watched in amazement as Tapu Koko and Mew interacted.
Cynthia was surprised. **"So that's Mew... It's even more adorable than I imagined."**
Giovanni, observing from Kanto, smirked. **"Mew, the original Pokémon... Hmph, not bad. But we already possess something stronger."**
---
The image shifted again, showing Mew receiving a special pink Z-Crystal from Tapu Koko and the rest of the Tapu Clan.
Kukui explained:
**"This is the legendary Mew-Z Crystal, infused with the power of the Tapu Clan. When activated, it unleashes the Z-Move 'Genesis Supernova,' capable of extraordinary destruction."**
The screen then displayed Mew in outer space, testing its newfound power by channeling the crystal's energy into an asteroid.
**BOOM!**
In an instant, the asteroid was obliterated, leaving only dust floating in the void.
**"Amazing..."** whispered spectators, stunned by the sheer power of Mew's Z-Move.
Rayquaza, observing from the ozone layer, looked baffled. **"Groudon... When did you learn to fly!?"**
The scene closed with Mew disappearing into the cosmos, leaving the audience in awe of its limitless potential.
---
The revelation of the Tapu Clan, Mew's Z-Move, and the sheer power of the Alola Region's traditions left the audience excited for the battles to come.
