"Hmm, almost there," Fang Yuan nodded, flashing a grin. After four months of intense training, even Ditto, carrying a top-tier Legendary Artifact, could now wield the strength of Top Guardian Gods. The actions of the Tapu guardian deities were swift; a mere blanket of their Dominant Field, and the shattered Lake Island was restored to its original form.
In the Hua Nation Preparation Zone, countless eyes were drawn.
President Antonio's heart twitched as he gazed at the Hua Nation Preparation Zone, wondering if Fang Yuan was contemplating another round as the defender of the title.
He always had this foreboding feeling.
Remember the divine battle tournament when other nations insisted that only one set of items was allowed, prohibiting the use of both Mega Evolution and Z-Moves? He knew who they were targeting.
However, with so many proposing the rule, it had to pass. Besides, most competitions did indeed limit the number of items, so it made sense to impose restrictions in the divine battle too.
But Fang Yuan didn't care for courtesies, bringing out his Autonomous Z Moves... In the end, the rule hindered those who had suggested it, bringing them to tears.
What were the other rules of the divine battle? Each nation was limited to acquiring ten Legends Resources... This was a rule that almost never came up because it was unimaginable for any one country to have the power to dominate ten arenas.
Yet now, seeing Fang Yuan's condition, President Antonio shuddered at the thought that this youth, who had created innumerable miracles, might indeed sweep away a majority of the resources...
The brief mid-game break ended, and the divine battle continued.
The third arena's Legends Resources were announced through a random draw.
At this moment, people were still immersed in the first two battles. Trainers watching the live broadcast were trying to understand terms like Super Ancient Transformation, Autonomous Z Moves, Dominant Field, and more, based on explanations from the Rotom drones, until President Antonio announced the resource for the third arena, snapping everyone back to reality.
"This..." As President Antonio began to speak, the screen projected in the air revealed a red stone resembling burning lava.
"Now, I will announce the Legends Resource for the third arena: the Volcanic Town Stone—"
"This is a resource associated with the Legendary Pokémon, Xidolanen."
"The Volcanic Town Stone is a product formed when rock is melted by scorching lava and then solidifies, still containing some of the lava, which serves as an item to strengthen the Lava Power."
"However, this particular stone stands out from most Volcanic Town Stones. It's worth much more and is adjudged a Legendary Level resource. Let me briefly introduce its origin and uses..."
"We must start with Xidolanen. According to myths and legends from the Pokémon World recorded in secret locations, and certified by the Capu guardian deities, there was once a great war between Dialga, the deity of time, and Palkia, the deity of space. The clash shattered spaces, and the fragments from their immense powers fell into volcanic magma. These fragments, combined with the Lava Power, gave birth to the Xidolanen clan."
"Hence, Xidolanen excels in harnessing the power of lava and even has an exclusive move, Lava Storm."
"One of the Pokémon Alliance's top Guardian Gods is a Xidolanen, and this Legends Resource comes from it. It achieved Top Guardian God strength, nearing Legendary Realm, because of this Volcanic Town Stone."
"The reason this particular Volcanic Town Stone contains such immense energy is actually also tied to another deity—Groudon, the legendary creator of land according to myths. Groudon is one of the earliest Pokémon to emerge, able to exhume the energy permeating its body as lava. It's said that every step it took could create continents and volcanoes, a deity on par with the Time-space Twin Gods in forging another Pokémon World. This Volcanic Town Stone is formed from the combination of Groudon's Lava Power and Fire Stone veins."
"According to the Alliance Guardian God Xidolanen, simply placing this Volcanic Town Stone inside a volcano allows it to slowly rejuvenate its energy, then becoming the top-tier exclusive resource for the Xidolanen clan, capable of empowering a Xidolanen to achieve Top Guardian Strength!!"
The Alliance Guardian God Xidolanen, no longer needing the stone for its own cultivation, passed it on to an old acquaintance, President Antonio.
And President Antonio decided to offer it as a Legends Resource reward to help a nation cultivate another Xidolanen of Top Guardian God Level.
Indeed, this special Volcanic Town Stone is an attraction for the Xidolanen clan and a cultivation item for Xidolanen, symbolizing that obtaining it equates to acquiring a Top Guardian God Level Xidolanen!
Compared to the previously hazardous Legendary Ghost Fire with side effects and the one-time resource, Revival Herb, the appearance of the special Volcanic Town Stone in the third arena further escalated its value.
After all, Xidolanen isn't just limited to the one in Alliance Island; much like the Three Divine Birds, they are a clan. Therefore, obtaining this Volcanic Town Stone means that with time and effort, the chance of pairing with a Xidolanen is considerably high. This deal is simply too profitable.
Now, as the Volcanic Town Stone related to the legendary Lord of the Land, Groudon, and prized as the top-tier resource for the Volcano Pokémon Xidolanen, emerges, numerous national associations are itching with eagerness.
That's the power condensed by the land's legendary master.
It's a resource fervently desired by Legendary Pokémon Xidolanen themselves.
