After the stimulation of Fang Yuan's tournament and the rewards for making a wish, all of Fang Yuan's Pokemon became fervently enthusiastic.
From this moment until the end of the Fang Yuan tournament, they would be enemies!
Eevee, Monferno, the Armed Magnemite, Darkrai, and other Pokemon were considered hot contenders for the championship.
Of course, Glutton, Milotic, Dragonite, Venusaur, and even the Mane Rock Werewolf didn't want to be outdone after hearing about the rewards.
If they couldn't get first place, they had to at least compete for the top three.
After all, the higher the ranking, the better the chance of getting to make a wish.
Even the normally reticent Nightmare God had its little schemes.
Next, the process of merging with the Blue Orb to enhance their Wave Techniques, as Fang Yuan had said, was their only chance to quickly boost their strength.
They must seize it!!!
Soon, the special training for everyone's Wave Techniques began.
Fang Yuan placed the Blue Orb on the ground, and the Mane Rock Werewolf was the first to merge with it.
Its paw barely touched the orb when the "α" pattern on the Blue Orb embedded in the ground immediately shimmered with blue light.
At this moment, the Mane Rock Werewolf felt the power within the orb desperately wanting to invade its body.
"Awooo! (It's... it's entering me.)"
As the orb merged, the Mane Rock Werewolf bared its teeth and didn't resist, even hoping that the orb would hurt it a little.
However, to the Mane Rock Werewolf's disappointment, as the Blue Orb merged into its body, its inherent Super Ancient Power immediately balanced with the power of the orb, so Kyogre's will couldn't affect it at all.
Still, changes were evident, like the appearance of blue patterns on its body, reminiscent of the black patterns seen during Super Ancient Transformation—even though it was in its normal size.
"(ಥ_ಥ) Awooo."
The Mane Rock Werewolf felt wronged.
"Bwoo!!" "Bluuurrr!!" "Koje!!" "Booowoo!!"
Several Pokemon glared at the Mane Rock Werewolf, telling it to stop dawdling and start practicing since a whole bunch of Pokemon were waiting their turn.
At this time, Fang Yuan had already started to record the Mane Rock Werewolf's changes with Rotom.
"It's similar to when Pikachu and Ditto merged with the orb in the animation, no problems, start the special training."
The Mane Rock Werewolf now appeared to be in a state akin to Primal Reversion, which was far stronger than the Super Ancient Transformation because the latter was only an imitation concept by humans of the former Super Ancient era.
"Awoong!!" The Mane Rock Werewolf was the first to try activating Aura.
In the first round of Wave Technique intensive training, Fang Yuan allocated roughly the same amount of time for each Pokemon, temporarily between 30 to 60 minutes.
This was the optimal timing calculated by Fang Yuan and Rotom. Any longer, and the burden on the Pokemon's bodies would increase and the efficiency of the training would significantly drop. Then, Kyogre's will could make a real invasion into their minds.
This time was not short either, if used wisely, the gains were expected to be significant. At the very least, the progress made by the first Pokemon, which was the Mane Rock Werewolf, surprised all the other Pokemon.
In this special state, the Mane Rock Werewolf began to practice its Wave Techniques. Its Waveguide Talent initially manifested when it awakened its Fighting Attribute, and then, influenced by the World Tree, its eyes mutated, allowing it to harness Wave-guiding power to perceive all things.
However, the Mane Rock Werewolf in this state still had its Waveguide Talent oriented toward scouting, unlike Pokemon like Lucario that could condense Wave-guiding missiles to attack enemies and had their talent focused on offense. The Mane Rock Werewolf had never achieved this.
Eevee was more or less the same.
Unless Fang Yuan used his Aura to assist the two Pokemon, they would have no chance of condensing a Wave-guide Missile.
Now, Fang Yuan's expectation was that both of them could master the Wave-guide Missile on their own by using the Blue Orb.
Fang Yuan's hopes were quickly becoming a reality.
After only ten minutes of using the Blue Orb, the Wave Motion that lingered around the Mane Rock Werewolf gradually formed a blue sphere imbued with powerful Wave Power.
After assimilating some of Kyogre's experience in utilizing Wave Power, the Mane Rock Werewolf controlled the Aura with greater ease, no longer restricted to scouting, it could finally substantiate it as a means of attack.
"Awooo!!"
The Mane Rock Werewolf quickly tested it out, launching the Wave-guide Missile hovering before it towards the distant ground.
The blue Wave-guide Missile buzzed as it rapidly roared through the air towards the earth.
There was a loud bang as a bottomless pit appeared out of nowhere, and the ground around the pit began to crack like during an earthquake, rippling out layer by layer. Above the pit, a vortex of smoke continued to expand.
Fang Yuan and the other Pokemon looked eagerly towards the masterpiece created by the Mane Rock Werewolf.
It had truly mastered the Wave-guide Missile.
And furthermore,
"Compared to Xiao Mai's Blastoise and others, the power of their Wave-guide Missiles...no, it's the level of mastery, it's much higher. The difference lies in their use of Wave Power."
Fang Yuan revealed a smile and continued to have the Mane Rock Werewolf practice.
After 30 minutes, the Mane Rock Werewolf had mastered the Wave-guide Missile, and, following Fang Yuan's suggestions, upgraded Earth Power to a kind of Earthquake Wave Technique.
After Super Ancient Transformation, combined with its huge body, the destructive power it could cause was considerable; it could likely destroy a small city in an instant. Such skilled use of Earthquake Technique probably approached the level of Ground techniques that a master like Giovanni painstakingly researched and wasn't too absurd. But it's important to realize that, like the Wave-guide Missile, in theory, the Mane Rock Werewolf shouldn't be able to learn Earthquake Moves at all.
