"Gosh!!! (I got it, I got it!)"
Prince of the Sea leaned closer, pressing against the screen. The opponent was none other than the Phoenix King Guard, actual Legendary Elves that nobody would care to engage with, except for Ho-Oh itself. Even PY needed a little time, you know.
Lately, Prince of the Sea was truly on a winning streak, getting acquainted with many Guardian God Level combat powers, all of them terrestrial. Now, it harbored new ambitions, not just to be the Prince of the Sea, but also the Prince of the Earth, the Prince of the Sky—step by step, taking it slow.
"Shui Jun... I get it." He Xiaomai's face fell; meeting Shui Jun wasn't hard, but commanding him in battle was just too difficult...
He Xiaomai's eyes lit up, "If it were you, teacher, what would you do?"
She wanted to ask Fang Yuan for advice, hoping he could share some more profound wisdom.
Fang Yuan said, "Me? I'd go straight to Ho-Oh. Once you've conquered Ho-Oh, wouldn't the Three Sacred Beasts follow your commands at will?"
Three times the efficiency.
He Xiaomai, Prince of the Sea: "..."
"Keep it up," Fang Yuan said with a slight smile.
Without his foresight into the plot, it would be quite challenging for someone to surpass him in PY...
Except for Xiaozhi, the Child of the World, who practically equals the plot itself.
...
Fang Yuan had just finished another round of special training in Superpower. He'd been quite busy recently with Nadic Astrobiology, the World Tree, Arceus' two schools of Wave Motion, and Super Cronos Power to be mastered together, no less demanding than training a Pokemon.
After ending the call with Xiao Mai, he stretched lazily and looked into the distance, curious about how his senior's training with X Deer was progressing.
Control over the Earth, Fairy Aura, Life Power, Autologous Ultra-Evolution... just mastering any of it would launch you to new heights.
Once his Eevee was through with the tablet training, Fang Yuan resolved to shove Eevee into X Deer's care for a few days. After all, without a Fairy Tablet of his own, he might as well regard X Deer as a mobile Fairy Tablet.
Speaking of Eevee, it was now exceptionally powerful.
Its specialized training was nearing completion; not only was it using Autonomous Z Moves more freely, but it could now effortlessly create eight Substitute dolls without depending on Victini.
Moreover, without any props and relying solely on its mastery over natural attribute powers and Life Power, it could freely evolve its Substitutes.
And, including its original form, nearly every evolved Substitute form could display the combat power of a regular Legendary.
The only downside might be its less than impressive stamina.
Of course, if it desired more stamina, it could fight alongside its original form without splitting into Substitutes—no problem; or it could evolve into Sun Eevee and harness the Sun Power, essentially bypassing the stamina issue, much like Groudon.
Indeed, Eevee's current strength was undoubtedly on a par with any member of the Kapu family.
What Fang Yuan found most interesting was that his Eevees now possessed the ability to generate "Legends Resources."
For instance, Eevee could now create a plush doll Substitute and transfer some power into it. Later, this Substitute doll could become a resource akin to the Flame of Life from the Fire God.
The Fire of Life could persist independently of Moltres for a century, possessing healing abilities, a remnant consciousness akin to a program, and the capability to attack. The Substitute doll could do the same—if Eevee wished, it could imbue its Substitute with all sorts of abilities to achieve similar effects.
For instance, Eevee could create Substitutes for "protection," "healing," "attack," "amplification"... it could craft them all.
For example, the Armed Magnemite could now conjure a Legendary Magnet imbued with potent Electromagnetic Power from thin air, making it a Legendary Electric Resource.
And there's no need to mention Darkrai's Nightmare Realm, an even more BUG-like resource, which had followed in Armed Magnemite's footsteps to fully step into the Legendary Realm, thanks to the tablet. It could now effortlessly preserve Nightmare fluctuations for decades.
Aside from Monferno... Fang Yuan's three Legendary Elves all had the capability to create Legendary resources.
The level of resources they could produce... might not even be lower than the rewards from a God Battle.
As for Monferno... it was actually possible too, since it mastered the Fire of Life. But because it wasn't yet proficient, it could currently only heal itself. For it to exist independently of its body for a century, transform, and still heal was a bit challenging, mainly because it never considered training in that direction.
The Fire God merely had too much time on its hands, which allowed it to develop all sorts of abilities.
However, Monferno was now all about muscle and focused solely on combat power. Otherwise, a month or two dedicated to training to create a Flame of Life's Will that could ignite the fighting spirit and potential of other Pokemon would likely be achievable.
With this in mind, Fang Yuan stepped outside to check on the training progress of other Pokemon.
But suddenly, he seemed to hear something... like Mew's voice?
Fang Yuan looked up slightly; in the vast backyard training field outside, many Pokemon were practicing in their own domains.
Eevee commanded its evolved form Substitutes holding tablets to engage in survival of the fittest training while the original Eevee played cards with Victini and Hoopa. The three little rascals sat solemnly around a stone table, and after Lake Trio Emrit, Uxie, and Azelf watched them for a while, they began their own game, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
