LRAB Chapter 737 King of the Island
Chapter 737 King of the Island
After Yang Ming finished reading the letter, he was speechless.
As the king of the island, Merdan actually has a hidden identity. He is an Interpol member of the Alliance lurking in the Alola region, responsible for protecting Aserola, the last generation princess of the ancient Alola Kingdom.
Although the control over the Alola region is insufficient, the Alliance has already planned to enter the Alola region and intends to establish the Alola Alliance in the Alola region. In order to establish the Alola Alliance, the identity of Aserola, the last princess of the Alola Dynasty, is very important. Only by controlling her can the Alliance enter the Alola region. That's why they sent Merdan, an Alliance Interpol from the Alola region, back to Ula'ula Island to protect and monitor Aserola.
Merdan is a native of Ula'ula Island. When he was young, he couldn't stand the poverty and conservatism of Alola and chose to leave his hometown. He joined the Alliance, which he thought represented advancement and justice. He wanted to make contributions in the Alliance so that the top leaders of the Alliance would notice the backward Alola, and eventually change the backward situation of Alola by establishing an alliance in the Alola region.
But as his experience in the League grew, Merdan gradually changed his mind. Although the current League could not be described as dark and corrupt, it was already in a state of decadence. Although there were many people willing to do practical things, there were even more people attacking each other and scheming against each other. In such an environment, let alone settling in Alola, even the territories already controlled by the League were filled with underground forces like Team Rocket, Team Plasma, Team Flare, and Team Galactic.
After receiving a secret order from the top of the alliance, Merdan, who was extremely disappointed with his future, felt that the prospect of settling in Alola was not optimistic, but he still returned to his hometown with the mentality of giving it a try.
In his youth, Merdan was a prodigy in the Alola region. Now, after more than twenty years of experience, his strength has become remarkable. If it weren't for his lack of connections, he would have been fully qualified to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance. With his extraordinary strength, Merdan quickly gained the recognition of Tapu Moo, the guardian deity of Ula'Ula Island, and became the island's king.
But the situation on Ula'ula Island was already very chaotic at this time, so as the king of the island, he could only barely control the situation in the southern part of Ula'ula Island, but could not control the entire Ula'ula Island.
However, with his own power as a king, Merdan was able to ensure Acerola's safety. He took care of Acerola's daily life while teaching her how to raise Pokémon. Gradually, he developed a special feeling for this girl who could be his own daughter.
Merdan was a bachelor, without a wife or children, let alone a proper family. To alleviate his loneliness, he took in abandoned Pokémon and raised them in his home. Acerola's cheerful and lively personality gradually filled the void in his heart. As they spent more time together, Acerola became like a member of Merdan's family. Far from spying on her, he doted on her, treating her like his own daughter.
In this letter, Merdan chose Yang Ming to inherit the position of King of the Island because his good "daughter" Aserola had been speaking well of Yang Ming when she contacted him, which made him choose this young man whom he had never met to inherit his position.
"...I've heard Lizzie and Old Man Hala mention you before, and I know you're a rare rising star in recent years. Now, because of the Ultra Beast incident, I can't stay on Ula'ula Island. I can only choose one person from Marin, Kahiri, or you to inherit the position of king of this island. Now that Marin and Kahiri both obey your orders, the position of king of this island belongs to you."
"Although you haven't received the approval of the island's guardian deity, it doesn't matter. Aserola is the descendant of the Alola Dynasty. As long as she supports you, and with the recognition of me, the former island king, your legitimacy as the new island king will be completely unquestionable."
"Of course, in order to make you the king of the island, that little girl, Aserola, has said a lot of good things for you. Thank her very much. If she suffers any injustice from you, you will be the first one to be dealt with when I come back!"
"P.S. Help me take care of my adopted Pokémon."
Looking at this letter with rough content, Yang Ming felt speechless: after all this time, his status as the king of the island was obtained by the little loli Aserola's begging.
Looking at Aserola who was standing aside with a proud look on her face, Yang Ming felt that his efforts during this period were not as useful as her words.
But no matter what, Yang Ming has become the real king of Ula Ula Island, which is of great help to his rule over Ula Ula Island.
"You little girl, you're quite the worrywart."
Acerola stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "Of course. I think you can definitely be the king of the island."
"But since I'm helping you like this, shouldn't I be rewarded?"
Yang Ming thought about it and felt that as the princess of Alola, Acerola would definitely not be short of Z-pure crystals, so he stuffed the Mega Evolution Stone of the Almost Doll he got in the Kalos region into her hand.
"What kind of stone is this? It looks so beautiful!" Aserola couldn't let go of the Mega Evolution Stone in her hand. "I think I saw a similar stone in Sister Juer's hand."
"This is a Mega Evolution Stone, something different from a Z Pure Crystal," Yang Ming explained. "Of course, to use it, you must obtain a Key Stone, and you'll have to fight for it yourself when you grow up."
Acerola nodded, not quite understanding.
Although he inherited Merdan's position as the king of the island, Yang Ming still did not intend to announce the news easily. He quietly sent his men to inquire about his reputation on Ula Ula Island.
A few days later, his subordinates sent him a report.
"My king, your reputation right now is no longer just 'good'; it's the universal consensus! I don't think anyone would object to you becoming king now."
Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the time was ripe. He immediately sent invitations to Melemele Island and Akala Island, inviting important figures from the two islands to attend his coronation ceremony.
The civilians of Ula Ula Island also received invitations, but Yang Ming did not require everyone to attend. After all, everyone still has to support their families, so everyone can come and participate according to the circumstances.
Of course, he deliberately ignored Poni Island. Anyway, he had no old friends there. After he became stronger, Yang Ming planned to lead his troops to attack Poni Island personally and end the chaos there.
