Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 689 Ultimate Space

Xijiana slowly opened her eyes, and the pain coming from her chest made her frown.

"You're awake," Yang Ming's voice came from his ears. "Don't move yet. Your wound just opened. I'm rebandaging you."

Only then did Xi Jiana realize that Yang Ming was concentrating on treating her wounds, and his movements were very gentle.

Shijiana's face flushed unconsciously: "Did you save me from Lusamine?"

"You think too highly of me," Yang Ming shook his head. "I didn't have my trump card with me at the time, so how could I have saved you with just my Pokémon? It's just that the Ultra Hole happened to appear, so we were teleported here."

Xi Jiana didn't believe Yang Ming's words at all. This guy rarely spoke the truth on a daily basis. He was probably just making up excuses to fool her after saving her.

Yang Ming naturally had no idea what Xi Jiana was thinking, and he continued to explain seriously: "The place we are in now is called 'Ultimate Space', which can only be reached through the 'Ultimate Hole'..."

"Stop! You're confusing me. What is the 'Ultimate Hole'? What is the 'Ultimate Space'? What on earth happened to Lillie?"

"Don't you understand? It's true. Having lived in Hoenn since childhood, you probably don't know anything about Alola," Yang Ming explained patiently. "The so-called 'Ultimate Hole,' also known as the 'Ultimate Alien Hole,' is a passage connecting the Alola region to a parallel world. And the world parallel to Alola is called the 'Ultimate Dimension.'"

"The deity that created this parallel world is called 'Necrozma.' It was originally a deity that brought light, but for some reason its power was divided, plunging it into endless darkness and suffering. The Pokémon that live in the Ultra Dimension are called Ultra Beasts. They are attracted to those who possess 'Fall' and come from the Ultra Dimension to the Alola region."

"So what you're saying is that Lillie is the human who possesses 'Fall', and Nebula, no, should I call it Cosmog, is actually an Ultra Beast?"

"That's roughly it." Yang Ming was vague. He didn't want to tell anyone except himself that Cosmog was actually a part of Necrozma.

"So Lusamine attacked her own daughter in order to capture Cosmog?" A hint of coldness flashed in Xijiana's eyes. "What a terrible mother!"

"Who says it isn't? But this is no longer important," Yang Ming said calmly. "Because Cosmogu evolved into Cosmomu, we have all entered the Ultimate Space now. It won't be easy to go back."

"The native inhabitants here—creatures known as Ultra Beasts—are incredibly powerful, many of them rivaling the combat power of legendary Pokémon."

"So it's best for us not to act alone, but to find a few cannon fodder to explore the way for us."

Xi Jiana agreed with this, but it was a pity that she was now completely unable to move, and she might hold Yang Ming back in the future.

"I've retrieved your Pokémon and put it in your bag. I'll carry you on my back from now on."

Xi Jiana nodded and let Yang Ming carry her on his back, but the next second she couldn't help but want to curse.

"Good weight."

"You're so heavy!" Xi Jiana was so angry that she broke down. "How can you talk to a girl like that?"

"Just telling the truth. Don't girls like to hear the truth?"

"...A guy like you will never have a girlfriend!"

"No, then no. I don't know how to pick up girls anyway," Yang Ming said dismissively. "Besides, I'm not interested in skinny girls. I prefer plump ones."

"So, according to what you said, you were actually praising me just now?"

"...It doesn't count."

The two people searched around noisily, but they didn't encounter any ultimate beast.

"Strange, it's as if there are no living creatures in this place."

Yang Ming's face darkened. Although he knew that there were very few living creatures in the ultimate space, it shouldn't be like this.

However, he didn't know that at the same time as the Ultra Hole in Moon Lake opened, Ultra Holes appeared all over the Alola region.

Because a large number of humans and Pokémon were sucked into the Ultra Hole, in order to maintain balance, a large number of Ultra Beasts in the Ultra Dimension were also teleported to various places in Alola.

A large number of Ultra Beasts wreaked havoc across Alola. Even though most of them were weaker Toxopus and Tetrajak, they still brought enough havoc to the Alola region.

In order to deal with this crisis, all trainers in the Alola region were dispatched. Under the leadership of the three island kings, all captains led other trainers to fight against these Ultra Beasts with all their strength.

Even the dominant Pokémon living in the Alola region joined the battle, bringing the Pokémon in their respective territories to try to drive out these foreign invaders.

In the end, even the four island guardians Tapu Chirp, Tapu Clichop, Tapu Moo, and Tapu Fin-Fin who were sleeping in the four ruins reappeared and joined in this fierce battle.

However, Yang Ming, who was still wandering in the ultimate space at this time, did not know about these things. At this time, he was still encouraging Xi Jiana and promoting his theory of "doing big things."

Although Yang Ming doesn't know how to pick up girls, he is very good at motivating his subordinates. He was talking very eloquently, saying that there were many benefits of being his subordinate, and that he would definitely become the king of the island in the future. As long as he became the king of the island, he would never treat Xi Jiana unfairly.

"Oh, how are you going to treat me well then?"

"Needless to say? As long as you work diligently for me, I will confer upon you the title of Duchess when I become the king of the island. How about it, am I generous enough?" Yang Ming felt that the conditions he offered were already very sincere.

"Tsk, who wants a duchess?" Shijiana rolled her eyes. "Besides, there doesn't seem to be a duke title in Alola, right?"

"If I say yes, then yes!" Yang Ming suddenly lost his composure and retorted, "As long as I become the emperor, I can create as many titles as I want!"

"Tsk, he was the king of the island just now, how come he's the emperor now?"

"What do you know? Once I become the king of the island, it will be easy for me to add the title of emperor to my name."

Xi Jiana, who wasn't as wild-minded as Yang Ming, was amused by his nonsense. "Even if you want to be the emperor, you should have a harem, right? So, you've already chosen the harem master?"

"A harem...? What's that?" Yang Ming was stunned. He had never considered this question before, so he evaded the question by saying, "I'm the emperor now, so it's my decision whether to have a harem or not. After all, no one has ever said that a bachelor can't be emperor."

Just as Xijiana was about to continue complaining, she suddenly heard an unusual noise ahead.

"There seems to be a battle ahead." Xijiana said in a deep voice.
