Chapter 1346: The Guardian Arives
Though the outcome of the very first exchange between Cipher and Alola was not as Miror B had expected, he is still not worried.
Even with this weapon that Alola has, Miror B is confident in his army of well-trained soldiers led by elite trainers who can hold their own against some of the best Pokemon trainers in the world.
And if this weapon causes any more nuisance, Miror B plans to move in himself and destroy the weapon.

On Melemele Island, Kahuna Hala is fighting alongside Officer Jenny of the island.
Currently, they are getting overwhelmed by the army in front of them, their soldiers are getting pushed back and many Cipher soldiers have already set foot on the island. Many police officers and soldiers are trying their best to ensure these cipher soldiers don't get past them.
"There are too many of them," Jenny yelled and shot the flying board that was approaching her, causing it to explode and making its rider fall into the ocean.
"Don't give up young Jenny, we need to fight to the end for our homeland," Kahuna Hala, who is beside her, is ordering his Hariyama to destroy anyone that comes before him.
But even his strength is not enough to hold off the massive number of enemy soldiers that are attacking them.
He grits his teeth in anger and continues to fight. He vows to fight till his very last breath.
The massive cipher army starts to overwhelm the Melemele island soldiers, who are quickly backed off into the island.
The island's massive guns are effective, but they cannot target multiple enemies at the same time, allowing the enemies to just swarm it and destroy it very easily.
Melemele Island is losing and just when Kahuna Hala thinks it is all over, the sky above the island gets covered by dark clouds, which start to crackle with lightning.
The sudden change in climate surprises everyone, and then suddenly thick bolts of lightning descend from the dark could and strike multiple warships of Cipher, destroying them in the process.
The sudden destruction of their ships takes Cipher by surprise. They then question as to why only they were targeted by this lightning storm.
But they didn't have to wonder long because they heard a loud cry coming from Melemele island. Suddenly, from the depths of the island, a yellow light flashes and rushes towards the cipher army.
The yellow light, like the lighting, passes through numerous cipher soldiers, creating a light chain, zapping them with thousands of volts of electricity. Rendering them paralyzed.
The yellow light then came to a stop and slowly fades away, revealing the figure behind it. It is none other than the protector of the Melemele island. Tapu Koko, the island guardian of Melemele island.
Seeing the island's guardian show itself, the Cipher soldiers started to get nervous. This is the Pokemon that has been talked about in legends. Known for being powerful and merciless.
The commander in charge of this army quickly regains his composure and yells at his army using an advanced sound-transmitting tool, which makes sure everyone hears him.
"You idiots! It's just a single Pokemon, no matter how strong it is. It won't last long against our numbers."
He commanded his army to gang up on Tapu Koko.
Many pokemons belonging to the Cipher army launched the first wave of attack in an instant against Tapu Koko with their trainer's instruction.
Multiple special attacks ripped through the air and charged towards Tapu Koko. Seeing that it's being targeted by so many at once, Tapu Koko uses its armor and encases itself inside it.
All these attacks make contact causing a massive explosion and sending ripples down the ocean surface.
Cipher soldiers watch in glee as they see the result of their action, but the smiles on their faces slowly disappear as the smoke fades away, revealing that Tapu Koko has barely been scratched.
The commander sees this and frowns.
"Attack!" he shouts and charges towards Tapu Koko along with his army.
Seeing their guardian deity fighting for them, the morale of the Melemele island soldiers increases significantly.
Taking advantage of this, Kahuna Hala files them up and launches a counterattack.
With high morale and newfound confidence in the Melemele soldiers, the clash between the two armies seems even for now.
But this boost in morale and confidence dies down as time passes. They notice the Cipher's army not showing any sign of slowing down. Especially the trainers who control the shadow pokemons.
Their endless wave of attacks slowly drowned any offense Melemele Island could muster up.
Even the island guardian Tapu Koko is having a hard time as it is getting attacked from every direction and exhaustion is creeping up. Even its hard armor cannot protect it forever against the onslaught that is being thrown its way.
"Hahaha, who would have thought that we would get our hands on an Island Guardian so soon? I might even get a promotion," the commander in charge laughs aloud.
"Capture it alive," he orders.
Hearing his instruction, the cipher soldiers attacking Tapu Koko pulled out their best net gun to capture it.
But before they could fire the gun, everyone stopped as they heard a loud commotion in the water.
Chaos seems to have descended in the water as multiple wild Pokemons started to jump out of the water in terror hitting anything and anyone that came in front of them.
Cipher doesn't know what is happening, but they are concerned by the sudden development because it is their army that is being affected right now.
"Everyone get hold of yourself!" the commander in charge orders out loud, but the commotion from the chaos caused by the numerous wild pokemons is too much.
"Fine, I will do it myself," The commander in charge says as he looks at Tapu Koko, who seems to be regaining its strength. Right now, his only objective is to capture Tapu Koko. He doesn't even give the commotion taking place a single thought.
He speeds up his hover platform towards Tapu Koko with an ultra ball in his hand. He is thinking about capturing it.
Just as he is about to capture Tapu Koko, the water beneath Tapu Koko slowly starts to rise. This sudden occurrence instantly garners everyone's attention.
They watch in awe as this massive water pillar arises. Even Tapu Koko can't help but turn and look at the water pillar that is rising behind it.
The pillar of water then falls back into the ocean revealing the monstrosity that was hidden behind it.
Everyone's eyes go wide as they try to make sense of the monster they are looking at.
A massive red Gyarados standing tall over everyone.
"I..i..is that a fucking Gyarados?"
The commander in charge shouts.
