Chapter 460 - Chapter 460: The Doctor Brought Back by Mew

Chapter 460: The Doctor Brought Back by Mew

Golden skills didn't require any energy from the Pokémon.

This was something Hikaru only knew after getting [Time Rewind].

Gardevoir used [Time Rewind] at no cost.

All that was needed was a bit of cooldown time.

This type of skill had clearly surpassed the scope of what could be explained by energy alone!

Some other kind of power?

The first thing Hikaru thought of was Legendary Pokémon... perhaps this was their power?

The Ember gradually extinguished, but the Razor Leaf still remained.

Hikaru once again opened the altered golden skill.

[Golden Skill (Fleeting Moment) — Eliminates all Fire-type properties within a three-kilometer radius for three seconds. Cooldown: 3s.]

Seeing this time, Hikaru's eyelid twitched.

A duration of 3 seconds, a cooldown of 3 seconds. The two canceled each other out, which meant they completely overlapped; there was no cooldown time at all.

"Even so, it's not enough. Unless it's permanent immunity..."

Hikaru became interested. "Charizard, Flamethrower, slowly increase the intensity."

The flame gradually turned into a Flamethrower, but each time it came out, it vanished into thin air. This continued until Charizard's face was flushed, and not a single bit of flame had emerged.

Clearly, [Fleeting Moment] was still in effect. In its golden form, it seemed it could really make Latias permanently immune to Fire-type moves.

"Something's not right..."

Hikaru had Charizard retract its Flamethrower. Latias being immune to Charizard's flames might be because Charizard had also absorbed flames from Arceus's Plate. She might not necessarily be immune to other Fire-type Pokémon.

So, he now needed to find another Fire-type Pokémon to test it.

The moment Charizard's flames were retracted, Mew also returned.

As expected, beside it was a somewhat bewildered male doctor, who looked to be around thirty years old, followed by a Chansey.

"Hikaru? I'm back! Huh, you're awake?"

Mew had clearly rushed back and was a bit stunned to see Hikaru awake.

"I'm fine... you really brought a doctor..."

Hikaru's face darkened as he looked at the doctor who had landed before him. "Sorry, my apologies..."

Mew said nonchalantly, "It's fine. After he's checked you, I'll erase his memory of this period. It won't have much of an impact!"

This made the doctor who had been brought here, Cao Mingming, scowl.

He was an attending physician specializing in neurology at a top-tier hospital in a city in Qian Province. He was also a professional Psychic-type trainer himself. Some powerful Psychic-type Pokémon could indeed erase or alter memories in the human mind.

But this erasure or alteration had a time limit and required psychic power to maintain. Once that psychic power disappeared, the lost or altered memories would return.

Erasure was one thing, but if memories were tampered with, and subsequent actions were not of the person's own will, it could have a huge impact on their life. In severe cases, it could even have a major impact on society.

"Is this the patient to be examined?"

Cao Mingming didn't know what this Pokémon was, but for it to appear in the hospital without any warning and evade the city's detection systems, it was definitely not simple.

To be able to tame such a powerful Pokémon, this must also be a powerful... huh, is that Hikaru?

The moment he sized up Hikaru, Cao Mingming's eyelid twitched.

Wasn't this the trainer who won first place in the Youth League?

"Sorry, sorry, Doctor, I'm fine," Hikaru hurriedly explained to the doctor, then turned to Mew, exasperated. "Your Aura should be able to tell that I just overused my own Aura."

"I was just worried about you~" Mew said aggrievedly.

"..."

Hikaru was speechless.

Now, the brought-over Cao Mingming had become a problem.

The existence of the Tree of Beginning was best known by as few people as possible.

Their conversation quickly made Cao Mingming realize the situation; it seemed his being brought here was just a misunderstanding.

A trainer like this couldn't be treated as a mere student.

He quickly said, "I don't have any instruments here... so I can't perform an examination. My name is Cao Mingming. I'm a doctor at Renji Hospital in Daming City, Qian Province. If you need anything, you can come to the hospital to find me."

He didn't have psychic powers. Examinations involving the human brain couldn't be done by manpower alone.

But he also didn't want Mew to just erase his memory of this period.

It was, after all, a rather fantastical experience.

"Alright then, I'll send you back..."

Mew reluctantly took control of Cao Mingming again, leaving a trace of psychic power in his mind. This way, as soon as he returned, this power would erase all his memories related to the Tree of Beginning.

And Mew's unique psychic power could last at least until his death!

...

Watching Mew depart again, Hikaru let out a breath. For some reason, he felt this incident would bring some results he didn't want to see.

"It's a bit late today. We'll try again tomorrow."

Looking at the time, Hikaru said softly.

"Okay, Hikaru."

"Roar!"

After Hikaru rustled away, the Tree of Beginning remained quiet and peaceful, like a lake without any ripples.

But suddenly, at the spot where Cao Mingming had just landed, the ground seemed to ripple, as if something wanted to drill out from within the Tree of Beginning. But in the end, it was blocked by some barrier, and nothing changed.

These changes were unknown to anyone, not even Mew.

The next morning.

First thing in the morning, Hikaru rode Latias to search for Fire-type Pokémon in the forest. But to his frustration, finding a Fire-type Pokémon in the forest was like finding a needle in a haystack.

In the end, he found a Talonflame in a rocky area and, with a box of Pokéblocks, had it use a few Fire-type moves.

The result was no different from what he had studied yesterday.

"Does this mean Latias is now immune to Fire-type moves?"

Looking at the Talonflame that had flown away, Hikaru murmured.

But that shouldn't be right.

Although she was immune to Fire-type moves, Hikaru felt the previous effect of [Fleeting Moment] was also quite good.

"Can't figure it out..."

Shaking his head, Hikaru decided not to think about it anymore.

He had Latias land on the ground and then called out Serperior.

When he had let Latias out today, she told him that Serperior seemed to have something to talk to him about.

The slender Serperior first surveyed its surroundings upon coming out. It relaxed only after seeing Hikaru nearby but was still a bit unaccustomed to its new identity.

"Sii?"

"Didn't you say you had something to tell me?" Hikaru asked softly.
