Chapter 346: Letting Go of Past Grudges, A New Path
Seeing its Electroweb so easily shattered by Liepard, Pheromosa was momentarily stunned.
Salazzle cried out, not overthinking things, and loudly urged Pheromosa to attack.
Pheromosa snapped back to reality, moving swiftly. It moved like a streak of light and rushed towards Liepard, simultaneously raising its leg to use Double Kick on Liepard's belly.
However, Liepard was even faster. It raised its claws, revealing sharp claws, the tool it usually used for trimming fruit tree branches and leaves.
A cold glint flickered on Liepard's claws. Before Pheromosa could kick it, its claws had already swiftly struck Pheromosa's slender waist.
Sucker Punch!
"Muchi~~~"
Pheromosa screamed and flew backward.
Only then did Pheromosa realize how strong this Liepard, which usually gave it sidelong glances, actually was.
Just as Pheromosa was sent flying, Salazzle's Flamethrower struck towards Liepard. However, Liepard didn't dodge, its expression incredibly calm.
It opened its mouth and spat out a purple-black energy wave, which collided with Salazzle's Flamethrower. After a brief struggle, it shattered the Flamethrower.
Meanwhile, Pheromosa climbed up from the ground and knelt on one knee, looking solemnly at Liepard. It thought to itself, 'I was careless!'
"Muchi~ Muchi~~"
After some thought, Pheromosa called out to Salazzle twice, then began to dance gracefully.
It wanted Salazzle to stall Liepard temporarily while it seized the opportunity to use Quiver Dance to boost its stats.
Salazzle was troubled upon hearing this, muttering to itself that Pheromosa was asking for the impossible, because Liepard had somehow already arrived beside it.
Close combat wasn't its forte. It was delicate and soft-bodied, not suited for going head-to-head with others.
As expected, facing Liepard, Salazzle found it difficult even to dodge and took a Psychic Blade attack point-blank.
One must know that Psychic-type Psychic Blade is super effective against it.
Fortunately, as a Totem Pokémon, its HP was slightly higher than other Pokémon, and Liepard wasn't particularly strong in attack, otherwise, it would have definitely fainted.
However, before being sent flying, Salazzle opened its mouth and spat out a poison gas, engulfing Liepard, which was right next to it.
Toxic!
This was Salazzle's specialty, and it had always been effective.
Indeed, as the poison gas dissipated, Liepard's face twisted in pain.
It was now poisoned.
Salazzle rolled several times on the ground before regaining its balance. Seeing Liepard standing still there, it sprayed another Flamethrower.
However, Liepard's figure suddenly split into a dozen or twenty after a flicker. Salazzle's Flamethrower only hit one of them.
After that one dispersed, the others still remained, showing that the one hit was merely an illusion.
Liepard was using Double Team!
All the Liepard glared coldly at Salazzle, as if they wanted to tear it limb from limb.
However, from the painful expressions on those shadows, it was clear that Salazzle's Toxic was causing it great distress.
The pain from the corrosive poison and the weakness caused by constantly losing HP made Liepard feel that finishing the fight quickly was better.
Just then, Pheromosa's Quiver Dance boost ended. With Salazzle stalling, Pheromosa didn't just boost once, but danced Quiver Dance three times consecutively. As a result, its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed were greatly boosted.
Pheromosa let out a hiss, followed by a piercing Bug Buzz. Liepard, already troubled by Toxic, felt its head splitting even more. Almost instantly, all the Liepard shadows disappeared, and Liepard's true form was revealed.
Bug Buzz is super effective against Liepard, causing it considerable damage.
After its Special Attack was boosted, Pheromosa's Bug Buzz was too potent, affecting Salazzle as well. Fortunately, Bug-type moves weren't very effective against it, so it managed to endure.
Liepard wouldn't just take hits without fighting back. Purple radiance flickered in its eyes as Psychic Blade was activated, and two huge purple blades slashed towards Pheromosa one after another.
Due to the boost from Quiver Dance, Pheromosa, whose Speed was already very fast, was now moving at extreme speed. Its figure flickered as it dodged the Psychic Blade attacks, then used Agility to approach Liepard.
With the effect of Agility, Pheromosa was so fast its figure turned into streaks of afterimages.
Liepard wasn't panicked. It squatted on the original spot, its eyes darting around quickly, focusing intently on tracking Pheromosa's movements.
*Boom!!!*
Finally, amidst a blur of afterimages, Pheromosa kicked towards Liepard.
But Liepard blocked it using Shadow Claw.
Pheromosa didn't linger; it hit and retreated. It was frail, and even with a significant boost to its Special Defense, it was still frail. There was nothing it could do; its base stats were like that.
Just like that, Pheromosa kept running around Liepard at high speed, kicking whenever it found an opening.
One kick, two kicks, three kicks...
Liepard responded to all changes with stillness, blocking Pheromosa's attacks one by one, using Night Slash, Shadow Claw, or Iron Tail...
Time passed unknowingly. Salazzle, who had been standing by without interfering, felt its eyes were dazzled. Finally, both Liepard and Pheromosa stopped.
The two Pokémon stood facing each other, panting heavily. It was clear they were both quite tired.
Salazzle thought to itself, 'Now... should I go up?'
Finally, the two Pokémon decided to decide the winner in one move.
Liepard tilted its head back and opened its mouth. Purple-black energy surged in its mouth. It was Dark Pulse!
Pheromosa rubbed its hands together to form an orb. A blue energy ball slowly took shape. It was Aura Sphere!
Salazzle thought for a moment, then stepped back. 'Let them fight, I won't get involved.'
Liepard spat out the Dark Pulse.
Pheromosa threw out the Aura Sphere.
The two moves were about to collide when a Pokémon appeared out of thin air. It levitated in mid-air, standing between the two moves. It spread its arms, Psychic power condensed in its hands. With a wave of its left hand, the Dark Pulse dissipated into scattered points of energy; with a squeeze of its right hand, the Aura Sphere shattered like a balloon exploding.
Seeing this Pokémon, Pheromosa, Liepard, and Salazzle all shivered.
"'I told you not to cause trouble. What are you doing?' Bai Ye's voice rang in the three Pokémon's ears."
Especially for Pheromosa and Salazzle, this was the second time Bai Ye had warned them.
The reason Bai Ye appeared here was that Maushold saw them fighting and secretly went to report.
Under Bai Ye's pressure-filled gaze, Salazzle stuck out its neck and pointed at Liepard, saying, "'It was the one who started the provocation!'"
Bai Ye didn't care about that. "'Since you're so energetic, go run with Senior Ninetales!'"
As its voice fell, the three Pokémon floated up uncontrollably and disappeared from the original spot with Bai Ye the next second.
Senior Ninetales was running strenuously on the mountain path. There were also several Fletchinder and Corvisquire following in the air. If it dared to slack off, they would promptly report to Bai Ye.
"'Muchi~'"
"'Aisss~'"
"'Meowth meow meow~~~'"
Senior Ninetales ran and ran, huffing and puffing, its whole body of fat wobbling left and right. It felt like it was about to run out of breath.
Just then, three things suddenly fell from the sky. It looked closely and saw they were Pheromosa, Salazzle, and Liepard.
"'Starting today, the three of them will run with you!'"
Bai Ye's voice came from above. Senior Ninetales heard this and instantly felt energized. It had company, it had company!
"'Start running!'"
Bai Ye's stern voice came from above.
However, before giving the command, it healed the three Pokémon and cured Liepard's poisoned state.
Liepard had stayed on Fangxing Mountain for a long time and knew Bai Ye's temper, so it started running without a word.
Salazzle was relatively timid. It saw that even the powerful Liepard was obedient, so it ran along as well.
Pheromosa had an arrogant nature and wasn't so easily subdued. It sat slumped on the ground, looking like it hadn't heard what Bai Ye said.
Just then, Bai Ye's voice softly rang out, "'It seems certain Pokémon don't want their clothes, accessories, and makeup anymore!'"
Pheromosa was instantly caught and could only start running miserably.
The four Pokémon ran and ran together, circling the mountain path circle after circle. None dared to slack off.
The Fletchinder and Corvisquire acted like they were in charge, chirping in the sky. If anyone dared to slack off even a little, they would haughtily scold them.
Oh my, scolding the big shots (Totem, Ultra Beast) felt so good!
Ninetales, Salazzle, Pheromosa, and Liepard were furious. Usually, would these little brats dare to speak loudly in front of them? The world is going downhill!
These kinds of days passed for one day... two days... three days... Every day when Salazzle, Pheromosa, and Liepard returned home, they were exhausted. At first, they still had the energy to argue and quarrel, but in the end, they even needed to help each other get home. Where would they have the time or mood for conflicts?
Somehow, a feeling of mutual appreciation developed between the three of them. Their disagreements gradually disappeared, and unconsciously, they became good friends.
Later, when Pheromosa did live streams, it would sometimes invite Salazzle and Liepard. It would even teach Liepard and Salazzle how to dress up and groom themselves. It told Salazzle how to care for its scales to make them shiny, and told Liepard how to groom its fur to make the color shiny and the texture smooth.
The timeline goes back to Bai Feng.
After arriving at Poni Island in Alola, he came to the Altar of the Moone again and used the Summoning Ring to summon Lunala. With Lunala's help, he entered the Ultra Wormhole once again.
Inside the Ultra Wormhole, he took out all his Sparkling Stones and let them freely absorb the Ultra Aura.
After the Sparkling Stones were saturated with absorption, he took a pile of Sparkling Stones to Oak's Laboratory and began research with Professor Oak.
Professor Oak researched topics like the structure and properties of radiance and Ultra Aura, while Bai Feng researched the impact of Ultra Aura on Pokémon.
At first, he didn't dare to experiment directly on Pokémon, so he simply used himself as a test subject.
Gradually, he discovered that the Ultra Aura emitted by the Sparkling Stones could indeed gradually enhance his Psychic abilities, with no side effects, nor would it revert over time.
So, he then began boldly experimenting on Pokémon.
However, one thing surprised him: using Ultra Aura to enhance a Pokémon's strength would actually conflict with Mega Evolution.
That is to say, if Bai Ye and Lopunny absorbed large amounts of Ultra Aura, the Mega Stones inside their bodies would gradually dissipate. In this way, their strength would not only not improve but would continuously regress until the amplification brought by Mega Evolution disappeared. Only then would they again increase in strength because of Ultra Aura.
Essentially, this was a conflict between Ultra Aura and Ancient Genetic Factors. Absorbing large amounts of Ultra Aura would cause the Ancient Genetic Factors inside the Pokémon's bodies to fade away until they disappeared.
That is to say, among Bai Feng's main Pokémon, Diancie, Mewtwo, Meganium, and Tyranitar, none could enhance their strength through Ultra Aura.
Although Meganium doesn't have a Mega Stone inside its body, it possesses crystals similar to Mega Stones formed due to Ancient Genetic Factors. Its principle is the same as Mega Stones; it just can't make Meganium undergo Mega Evolution.
Relatively speaking, the effect of Ultra Aura was very positive for Pokémon like Primarina and Heliolisk, who haven't received significant benefits from Ancient Genetic Factors.
Although absorbing Ultra Aura caused the already few Ancient Genetic Factors inside the bodies of Primarina and Heliolisk to become even fewer, their strength genuinely increased.
Clearly, they could walk a path comparable to Legendary Pokémon through Ultra Aura!
Ultra Beasts can briefly reach a level almost comparable to Legendary Pokémon by passing through the Ultra Wormhole and using Ultra Aura. So, it's not surprising that Pokémon can gradually approach the level of Legendaries after completely absorbing Ultra Aura.
The effect of Ultra Aura is to gradually release the shackles restricting them inside the Pokémon's body.
However, what Bai Feng regretted was that the amount of Ultra Aura released by the Sparkling Stones that Pokémon could absorb was less than one-tenth. Most of it was wasted.
If this problem was not solved, then even if Bai Feng covered the Pokémon with Sparkling Stones, if they wanted to become strong enough to rival Legendary Pokémon, it would probably take forever.
This distress of his was quickly resolved.
One day, Professor Oak called Bai Feng over. As soon as he saw Bai Feng, he first apologized to him.
"'Bai Feng, I'm sorry. I've used up all the Sparkling Stones you brought back!'"
Bai Feng was stunned. "'Used up? All used?'"
"'Yes... yes,' Professor Oak nodded sheepishly."
"'How did you use them? You couldn't eat that many, could you?'"
He wasn't blaming Professor Oak. Material loss is normal in the process of scientific research. If you're reluctant to use materials, then science wouldn't progress.
He was just a little curious, after all, the number of Sparkling Stones Heatran gave him was quite large.
"'Come with me!' Hearing Bai Feng's question, Professor Oak said mysteriously."
Bai Feng followed Professor Oak to the Research Lab where he usually conducted experiments. In the center, there was a device full of technology, like a metal bud.
Professor Oak walked up to the device and gently pressed the button. The metal bud slowly opened like a blooming flower, revealing a golden stone placed in the center.
The stone was only fingernail-sized, but it emitted a captivating glow.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 347: Coma, Great Crisis!
"This is..."
Looking at the mesmerizing luster emitted by the crystal, Bai Feng's mind was instantly captivated.
"This is a crystal I obtained by refining the Sparkling Stone. I call it the Refined Shining Stone," Professor Oak explained.
"Refined Shining Stone..." Bai Feng murmured the name of the crystal.
"Exactly!" Professor Oak nodded. "The Refined Shining Stone was not easy to come by. Although a lot of Sparkling Stone was wasted during the initial experiments, all the remaining Sparkling Stone combined only yielded this one small piece."
Bai Feng understood upon hearing this. It truly wasn't easy to obtain; so much Sparkling Stone was refined into just one piece the size of a fingernail.
"You can take this Refined Shining Stone and test its efficiency in absorbing Ultra Aura," Professor Oak suggested.
"Okay!" Bai Feng nodded.
That same day, Bai Feng took the Refined Shining Stone and returned to the Altar of the Moone.
He activated the Summoning Circle, opened a spatial portal, and Lunala slowly flew out from within.
Bai Feng said apologetically, "Lunala, I have to trouble you again!"
"Woo~~~"
Lunala shook its head. Besides searching for Ultra Necrozma's Z-Crystal, it didn't have much else to do normally, so it was very willing to help Bai Feng.
Bai Feng took out some Pokéblocks and fed them to Lunala. Then, he and Lunala entered the Ultra Wormhole together.
When he took out the Refined Shining Stone, the Ultra Aura in the Ultra Wormhole began to stir. Eventually, it formed an aura vortex, and a large amount of Ultra Aura surged madly into the Refined Shining Stone.
Although Ultra Aura is invisible and intangible, at this moment, Bai Feng and Lunala could easily sense its existence.
As time passed, the Refined Shining Stone in Bai Feng's hand began to change color.
Originally, the Refined Shining Stone was light gold, but as it absorbed more and more Ultra Aura, it began to change color, from light gold to light blue, from light blue to azure, and finally from azure to deep blue.
When the Refined Shining Stone was saturated with Ultra Aura, Bai Feng examined it carefully and found it even more mesmerizing. Inside the deep blue translucent stone, there were tiny specks of light like white dust shimmering, giving people a dizzying feeling.
"What is this?" Lunala flew over and asked curiously. It felt that the aura emanating from this refined stone was somewhat familiar.
"This is a special crystal extracted from a Sparkling Stone," Bai Feng replied.
"So it's a Sparkling Stone!" Lunala suddenly understood. No wonder it felt so familiar.
When Lunala and Solgaleo's Ancestor first arrived in the Pokémon World, it was because they were attracted by the Sparkling Stone.
Seeing Lunala looking at the Refined Shining Stone with intoxicated eyes, Bai Feng asked, "You like it?"
Lunala nodded. It always felt a strange attraction to the Refined Shining Stone.
Bai Feng thought to himself: Since the Ultra Aura emitted by the Sparkling Stone is useful for normal Pokémon, perhaps it is also useful for Lunala.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Next time I come, I'll give you one!" He planned to go back to Heatran's place to get more Sparkling Stone and refine a few more Refined Shining Stones.
Hearing this, Lunala's face showed surprise. "Really?"
Bai Feng nodded. "Of course!"
"Thank you so much, Bai Feng, you're so kind!" Lunala said happily.
Bai Feng smiled and stroked its head. "We're friends, aren't we?"
Lunala narrowed its eyes and nodded cheerfully. "Yes, we are friends!"
Just as Lunala was about to send Bai Feng out of the Ultra Wormhole, a sudden change occurred.
"Roar~~~"
With a roar, another Ultra Wormhole opened, and a terrifying Pokémon made entirely of black crystal flew out from it.
Seeing this Pokémon, Lunala's face changed drastically.
"Radiant One!"
"Necrozma!"
Bai Feng also couldn't help but exclaim.
After Necrozma appeared, its gaze immediately targeted Lunala. However, when it saw the Refined Shining Stone in Bai Feng's hand, it also revealed undisguised covetousness.
Seeing Necrozma, Lunala instinctively wanted to use Teleport to escape.
However, at that moment, a black face appeared directly in front of Lunala. A terrifying shadow enveloped Lunala, causing it to freeze on the Original spot.
It was Scary Face!
Seeing that Necrozma had already charged towards Lunala, Bai Feng activated a Summoning Circle to appear in front of Lunala, while simultaneously activating another Summoning Circle to open a spatial portal.
Necrozma, caught off guard, crashed into the Summoning Circle, and its body appeared far away. At the same time, Mewtwo, Bai Ye, and Diancie flew out from it.
"Lunala!"
Bai Feng shouted. Lunala finally recovered from the shock of Scary Face and immediately tried to open a spatial portal to escape.
Over there, seeing Lunala about to flee, radiance surged within Necrozma's body, and a black light pillar immediately shot towards it.
Mewtwo, Bai Ye, and Diancie naturally wouldn't just watch.
Mewtwo waved its hand and unleashed a giant psychic blade, which flew out with a tearing sound.
Bai Ye swung the wooden stick in its hand, and a spiral fire pillar erupted.
Diancie condensed a brilliant light pillar and projected it.
Necrozma's signature move, Photon Geyser, collided with Mewtwo's psychic blade, Bai Ye's Mystical Fire, and Diancie's Power Gem, causing a fierce explosion that made the entire Ultra Wormhole unstable in Space.
At this moment, Lunala finally opened an Ultra Wormhole. It called out to Bai Feng, then quickly drilled into it. Seeing this, Bai Feng also motioned for Bai Ye and the others to follow.
After Bai Feng and the others came out of the Ultra Wormhole, Lunala quickly closed it.
At this point, Bai Feng found himself in an unfamiliar location.
But before Lunala could breathe a sigh of relief, another Ultra Wormhole appeared, and Necrozma flew out from it. It had actually chased them!
After appearing, radiance flickered in Necrozma's eyes, and an invisible power spread out.
Lunala instinctively still wanted to run, as it had become a habit, but then it discovered that it couldn't open an Ultra Wormhole.
What was happening?
Could the Radiant One have done this? But it didn't have this Ability before!
Bai Feng also wanted to directly use the Summoning Circle to take his Pokémon and Lunala away from here. Then he discovered that the surrounding Space was sealed.
However, he also found that although the Space leading to the outside was sealed, he could still use the Summoning Circle for spatial transfer nearby.
Since they couldn't leave, Bai Feng had no choice but to say, "Lunala, don't run anymore, let's fight!"
Lunala was startled, but for some reason, a surge of courage suddenly welled up in its heart. It gently nodded towards Bai Feng.
At this moment, Necrozma had once again targeted Lunala. Radiance surged within its body, and a mass of black energy condensed.
It was its signature move, Photon Geyser, again.
The moment the light pillar shot out, Bai Feng controlled the Summoning Circle to block in front. The light pillar shot into the ring, but appeared from behind Necrozma.
"Roar!!!"
Photon Geyser hit Necrozma's body, causing it to sway twice in the air.
At this moment, Lunala, Mewtwo, Bai Ye, and Diancie attacked simultaneously.
Lunala's entire body turned silver-white, as if all the surrounding radiance had gathered on it, resembling a silver disk.
This was Lunala's Full Moon form, which it took when using its signature move, Moongeist Beam.
Streams of light also appeared on Mewtwo's body. Its dark purple psychic power almost distorted Space. It was about to use its own signature move, Psystrike.
A silver moon appeared behind Bai Ye. Fairy-type energy gathered wildly in its hands, almost solidifying. It was using Moonblast.
Diancie put its hands forward, and countless pink diamonds appeared, forming a high-speed spinning tornado. This was its signature move, Diamond Storm!
Boom!!!
The moves of the four Pokémon simultaneously hit Necrozma, causing a fierce explosion in the air, filling it with smoke and dust.
Did they succeed?
Bai Feng and the four Pokémon thought in unison.
Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from the smoke and dust. Its speed was extreme, heading straight for Lunala.
It was Necrozma. It was completely unharmed by the combined attack just now! It was too terrifying.
Bai Ye and Mewtwo reacted quickly enough. One unleashed Mystical Fire, the other shot out a psychic blade.
But Necrozma's reaction speed was also fast enough. The moment Mewtwo and Bai Ye attacked it, it also unleashed two psychic blades.
Clang!
Necrozma's psychic blade collided with Mewtwo's psychic blade, actually cutting Mewtwo's psychic blade in two, and then continued towards Mewtwo.
At the same time, Bai Ye's Mystical Fire was also shattered by Necrozma's psychic blade, and that psychic blade continued towards Bai Ye with undiminished power.
Seeing this, radiance flickered in Lunala's eyes. It used Wide Guard, timely protecting Mewtwo and Bai Ye.
But because of this, it was too late to dodge Necrozma's attack.
Seeing this, Bai Feng activated the Summoning Circle again. Necrozma once again crashed into the ring and was teleported far away by the ring.
This was the second time. Even if Necrozma had no rationality, its gaze couldn't help but lock onto Bai Feng at this moment.
Its gaze was full of hostility!
When Necrozma's eyes, flashing with scarlet red light, looked over, the hairs on Bai Feng's entire body stood on end.
This Pokémon, once worshipped as a deity by the entire Ultra World, was truly terrifying. Even though it no longer possessed its former glory, it still wielded terrifying power.
Bai Feng realized he had truly underestimated Necrozma. The moment their eyes met, his brain felt like it was about to explode, experiencing intense pain, and at the same time, his consciousness felt like it was separating from his body.
Staggering, Bai Feng was about to fall from the air.
"Gardevoir!!!"
Bai Ye exclaimed, using Teleport to appear beside Bai Feng and timely catch him.
"Gardevoir! Gardevoir!"
Bai Ye kept calling out to Bai Feng, but Bai Feng's vision was already blurry. He looked at his Mother's panicked appearance, wanting to reach out and touch it, but found that he couldn't control his body at all.
Seeing Bai Feng like this, Bai Ye's psychic power surged violently throughout its body. With a flash of radiance, it completed Mega Evolution, and at the same time, used Teleport to appear beside Necrozma, crashing into it with bright radiance erupting from its body.
Dazzling Gleam!
Boom!!!
Caught off guard, Necrozma was knocked down from the air, creating a large Hole in the Ground.
Another brilliant radiance flashed, and Diancie also completed Mega Evolution. It waved its arms, and stone pillars descended from the Sky, blocking all of Necrozma's escape routes.
Looking at Bai Ye and Diancie both completing Mega Evolution on their own, Mewtwo pursed its lips. Only it couldn't!
Seeing Necrozma trapped, Lunala and Mewtwo simultaneously attacked with Moongeist Beam and Psystrike.
However, before the two Pokémon's attacks could reach, black light rays erupted from Necrozma's body, instantly shattering the diamond stone pillars created by Diancie, and it broke free.
The moment it came out, it targeted Bai Ye, who was closest to it.
At this moment, Bai Ye's heart was filled with anger, but on the surface, it looked unusually calm.
The moment Necrozma charged towards it, a Black Hole surging with terrifying aura suddenly appeared behind it.
Necrozma charged headfirst into it. Bai Ye used Teleport to dodge, allowing Necrozma to crash directly into the Black Hole.
Necrozma disappeared just like that. The Black Hole slowly closed and quickly vanished.
Was it solved just like that? Mewtwo and Diancie couldn't help but wonder.
The Radiant One is gone? Lunala was stunned.
Bai Ye coldly stared at the location where Necrozma disappeared, lost in thought.
Suddenly, spatial cracks appeared where Necrozma had vanished.
Not good!
All the Pokémon exclaimed simultaneously.
Bai Ye immediately wanted to use Teleport to leave, but the surrounding Space seemed to solidify.
Teleport couldn't be used.
Boom!!!
With a loud noise, Space exploded, and the resulting aftershock instantly engulfed Bai Ye.
Necrozma reappeared.
And Bai Ye had already lost consciousness and fallen onto the Grassland in the distance, reverting from its Mega Evolution form, looking quite injured.
Necrozma could actually break through the Black Hole and return to the present world! Mewtwo and Diancie thought in horror.
Before Mewtwo and Diancie could react, Necrozma set its sights on the unconscious Bai Feng again.
In just a blink of an eye, it arrived beside Bai Feng and lifted him up.
"Bai Feng!"
"Woo~~~" Bai Feng!
Diancie and Lunala exclaimed. One used Moongeist Beam, the other used Stone Edge, simultaneously blasting towards Necrozma.
Necrozma casually waved its hand, and two psychic blades appeared, easily slicing through Moongeist Beam and Stone Edge, hitting Lunala and Diancie at the same time.
Diancie and Lunala cried out in pain and were sent flying backward.
Necrozma had no rationality, but at this moment, it quietly stared at Bai Feng, seemingly trying hard to think of something.
Suddenly, it poked the tip of one of its nails towards Bai Feng's forehead, as if to lift his skull.
Seeing this scene, Mewtwo's eyes were about to split. A surge of furious anger and fear erupted from its heart.
"Let him go!!!"
Mewtwo roared.
Hearing Mewtwo's voice, Necrozma's movements paused slightly.
In the Sky, a mass of colorful radiance shone, like a dazzling sun.
When the light dissipated, Mewtwo, appearing in a new form, hovered in the air.
Mega Mewtwo Y appeared!
Its figure vanished in a flicker and reappeared beside Necrozma.
Boom!!!
A Shadow Ball was unleashed by Mewtwo Y, hitting Necrozma's head and sending it flying. At the same time, Bai Feng, who was in its hand, was also thrown out.
Mewtwo Y's figure flashed, and Bai Feng was in its arms.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 348: Hey~ Where Did This Charcoal Head Come From?
After sending Necrozma flying, Mewtwo Y flashed and appeared beside Diancie, handing the unconscious Bai Feng over to it.
"Take good care of him!"
Leaving these words behind, Mewtwo Y vanished again in a flash, leaving Diancie staring blankly and nodding.
At this moment, Mewtwo Y had reappeared opposite Necrozma.
Necrozma had clearly felt the pressure and threat from Mewtwo Y, its gaze shifting from Bai Feng to Mewtwo.
The two powerful Legendary Pokémon faced off. Both Lunala and Diancie felt unimaginable pressure.
Although Lunala was also a Tier 1 Legendary, it was still young and lacked the experience that comes with time. It also hadn't been trained with top-tier resources like Mewtwo, so its strength was only slightly stronger than Diancie's.
Finally, radiance surged on Necrozma's body, and a pitch-black pillar of light erupted from it.
It was its Signature Move, Photon Geyser.
Similarly, Psychic-type energy continuously gathered in Mewtwo's hands, and a deep purple pillar of light was projected out.
This was also Mewtwo's Signature Move, Psystrike.
Boom!!!
The two pillars of light collided, causing a violent explosion. Even the space locked by Necrozma trembled slightly.
The first exchange ended in a draw, and the two Pokémon attacked simultaneously again.
Bang bang!
Two Psychic Blades collided again, causing a violent explosion.
Diancie and Lunala looked up at the Sky, their eyes unblinking. They saw the two Pokémon had transformed into streaks of light, constantly colliding violently in the air. Each collision generated intense airwaves.
After Mega Evolution, Mewtwo Y gained even more terrifying Speed. In the process of clashing with Necrozma, it continuously circled the opponent for rapid attacks. Necrozma was mostly forced to passively take hits.
Necrozma's Ability is called Prism Armor, which reduces the damage taken from super effective moves by a quarter, making it very resistant to hits.
During the battle between Mewtwo Y and Necrozma, the Crystal formed by Golden Finger Energy in Bai Feng's mind continuously released mysterious pulses, dispelling the negative status applied by Necrozma to Bai Feng's spirit form.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Feng finally woke up slowly.
Seeing Bai Feng open his eyes, Diancie asked happily and with concern, "Bai Feng, you're awake? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"
Bai Feng gently shook his head. His head still hurt badly, but it was within a tolerable range.
"How is everyone?" Bai Feng asked weakly.
"Bai Ye is unconscious..."
Diancie briefly explained the current situation to Bai Feng. Bai Feng quickly struggled to get up and went to Mother's side, taking out G-Max Sweetness and feeding it to her.
After checking Mother's body and finding that she wasn't seriously injured, Bai Feng finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
At this moment, the battle between Mewtwo Y and Necrozma had entered a fierce stage.
Mega Evolved Mewtwo was indeed powerful. Initially, relying on its unstoppable momentum, it did temporarily suppress Necrozma.
However, as time passed, Necrozma's advantage as an ancient Legendary Pokémon that had lived for countless years became apparent.
It had deep reserves. Mewtwo couldn't defeat it in a short time, and instead, it was Mewtwo itself that fell into a difficult situation.
Don't look at Necrozma being covered in injuries at this moment; in reality, it was Mewtwo Y whose momentum was dropping again and again.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, then the second time is less effective, and the third time is exhausted. At this moment, the energy inside Mewtwo Y was almost depleted. If the battle continued, Mewtwo would definitely lose.
Seeing this situation, Bai Feng was extremely anxious.
Suddenly, he noticed that the space lock around them seemed to be loosening!
It turned out that the battle between Mewtwo and Necrozma was too intense, breaking some of the locked space.
"Lunala, please help me with something!" Bai Feng suddenly turned to Lunala and said.
"Tell me!" Lunala nodded.
Bai Feng whispered a few words to Lunala. After Lunala nodded, it flapped its wings and flew into the Sky.
At this moment, Necrozma's gaze was entirely on Mewtwo Y, and it didn't notice the situation on Bai Feng's side at all.
Bai Feng looked at Lunala, asking with his eyes: Are you ready?
Lunala nodded gently.
Bai Feng then looked at Mewtwo Y and Necrozma, who were still in battle.
A minute later, under Mewtwo Y's barrage of Shadow Balls, Necrozma was forced to descend. Seeing this, Bai Feng gave Lunala a signal.
Lunala understood. After a long cry, it began to fully release its psychic power, fiercely attacking the surrounding space.
At this moment, Bai Feng, enduring the severe pain in his head, had established a psychic power connection with Lunala. He activated the Psychic Bracelet on his wrist, fully assisting Lunala in its attack.
Finally, with a crisp sound, the space lock, which already had cracks, was broken. Bai Feng was finally able to use the Summoning Circle to communicate with The Outside Space.
However, Bai Feng wasn't planning to escape himself; he was going to send Necrozma away!
The descending Necrozma didn't realize that a Summoning Circle had appeared below it, so it fell directly into the spatial portal formed by the circle.
As soon as Necrozma entered, Bai Feng quickly closed the spatial portal. At the same time, he fell unconscious again due to excessive use of psychic power.
By the time Necrozma regained consciousness, it had arrived in an unfamiliar environment. There was nothing here but endless Void and scattered crushed stone.
It looked left and right, and for the first time, a hint of confusion appeared in its irrational scarlet eyes.
Just then, a Dragon-type Pokémon leisurely flew nearby, and Necrozma was instantly attracted to it.
Rayquaza was just thinking about which meteorite to taste today when it was suddenly hugged by something pitch-black.
What the heck?
Rayquaza was startled. It looked up and met a pair of scarlet eyes, which scared it into spitting out a Hyper Beam.
Under the impact of the Hyper Beam, the charcoal head was sent flying. Only then did Rayquaza get a clear look at its appearance. Its pitch-black crystal body reflected a strange radiance in Space.
It was indeed Necrozma!
However, Rayquaza didn't recognize Necrozma.
Weird-looking thing, what is this?
Rayquaza muttered inwardly.
However, Necrozma lunged at it again. Rayquaza wasn't going to tolerate it and swatted it away with a Dragon Claw.
But Necrozma wasn't afraid and lunged forward again regardless.
Soon, Rayquaza discovered that this weird-looking guy was quite powerful, not weaker than itself. So, it used its ultimate move.
Dragon Ascent!
Originally, Rayquaza hadn't learned this move, but after attending the banquet at Bai Feng's Home and enjoying a satisfying Rejuvenation, it went Home, slept, and suddenly knew the move.
Because of this, the slight opinion it had of Bai Feng was gone.
It had been wondering when that guy would summon it again for another Rejuvenation, but unexpectedly, there had been no activity since then.
Annoying! No, annoying for a Dragon!
After performing Dragon Ascent, Rayquaza's entire body shone with brilliant radiance, and its appearance underwent a huge change.
Yes, it Mega Evolved.
After Mega Evolution, Rayquaza sharpened its claws towards the charcoal head. This was the first time it had used Mega Evolution in battle.
Just like that, the two Legendary Pokémon fiercely collided, fighting so intensely that the world seemed to darken. Countless meteorites around them were reduced to dust as a result.
Because it was already covered in injuries from the battle with Mewtwo Y, Necrozma was naturally no match for the Mega Evolved Rayquaza, so it was beaten badly and fell unconscious.
Looking at the charcoal head it had defeated, Rayquaza was very satisfied. After returning to its original form, it swaggered away.
Necrozma quietly levitated in Space. After an unknown amount of time, it slowly woke up.
In the boundless Space, there was no direction. Necrozma could only follow Rayquaza's aura to find its way.
And so, in the time that followed, Rayquaza and Necrozma played out a scene of chase, with Necrozma having nowhere to escape.
Because it was lost in Space, it was impossible for Necrozma to cause trouble for Lunala again for a while.
Bai Feng finally woke up after being unconscious for two days and two nights. After waking up, he unexpectedly found that the accident had turned into a blessing.
During his unconsciousness, the Golden Finger Energy had dispelled all the negative status applied by Necrozma to his body. Although he still felt a bit heavy-headed, most of the discomfort had disappeared.
Because he had used his psychic power desperately, he also found that his psychic power had made a small breakthrough. Although it wasn't a breakthrough in quality, it was still significant progress.
After waking up, Bai Feng found himself lying in a simple thatched hut. There was nothing in the hut but a pile of dry grass.
He got up and walked out of the thatched hut, finding that the surroundings were filled with tall, strange trees that he had never seen before.
Just then, he suddenly saw a tall figure passing by not far away. The figure was at least two meters tall. He looked closely and saw that it was a Buzzwole.
Bai Feng saw the Buzzwole, and the Buzzwole naturally saw him too.
However, Bai Feng clearly saw that after the Buzzwole saw him, its face showed astonishment, and then it ran away like the wind, its four legs moving as if motorized.
Do I look scary? Even a Buzzwole gets scared seeing me?
After the Buzzwole left, Bai Feng began to observe the surroundings. The environment here was similar to the Pheromosa Village he had visited before. There were many thatched huts around, so he theorized that this should also be an Ultra Space, likely inhabited by Buzzwole.
However, there were no Buzzwole active in the village. He didn't know where they had all gone.
Just as Bai Feng was about to wander around, Lunala, Bai Ye, Mewtwo, and Diancie (carried by Mewtwo) appeared in the air simultaneously.
Bai Ye quickly descended from the air and hugged Bai Feng. "Baby, you're finally awake! You scared me to death, boohoohoo..."
Feeling Bai Ye's worry, Bai Feng gently patted its back to comfort it. "It's okay, I'm fine, aren't I? By the way, are your injuries okay?"
After confirming that Bai Feng was really fine, Bai Ye stopped crying and smiled. It took Bai Feng's hand and spun around. "I'm fine too, all better!"
Bai Feng had given it G-Max Sweetness before he fell unconscious, so it was completely recovered.
Just then, Mewtwo and the others also landed. Bai Feng asked again, "How about you guys? Are you all okay?"
Mewtwo and the others shook their heads simultaneously. They hadn't suffered serious injuries in the first place.
"That's good." Bai Feng said with a smile. Then he thought of something and asked again, "Oh, right, how long was I unconscious?"
Mewtwo held up two fingers.
"Two days?"
Mewtwo nodded.
"Then we need to hurry Home, otherwise Lopunny and Hatterene will be worried," Bai Feng said anxiously.
Bai Ye and the others nodded upon hearing this.
Bai Feng then looked at Lunala and said, "Lunala, would you like to come to my Home as a guest?"
Lunala was startled upon hearing this. It had never been to a human's Home before.
"Stay at my Home to recuperate for a few days, and I'll send you back then."
Hearing this, Lunala nodded gently, feeling a sense of expectation in its heart.
Before leaving, Lunala and Bai Feng's group expressed their gratitude to the Buzzwole Tribe. If they hadn't taken them in, Bai Feng would probably have had to sleep in the Wilds for the past two days.
The Buzzwole that Bai Feng saw earlier had actually gone to deliver a message to Lunala and the others, not because it was scared by Bai Feng as he thought.
Bai Ye and the others had been helping the Buzzwole Tribe with work, as a way to repay their hospitality, which was why they weren't by Bai Feng's side.
The Buzzwole Tribe, like the Pheromosa Tribe, were old acquaintances of Lunala, so they were happy to help Lunala's friends and didn't think much of it. Moreover, Bai Ye and the others had helped with work in the village.
However, Bai Feng still left them some G-Max Sweetness.
After returning Home, Bai Feng rested for several days before fully recovering. During this time, he also carefully researched the Refined Shining Stone that had absorbed Ultra Aura.
The Refined Shining Stone obtained after refining and purifying solved the problem Bai Feng had encountered before. Although a considerable portion of the Ultra Aura it released was still wasted, the quality of the Ultra Aura it released was higher than that of a simple Sparkling Stone, and the Pokémon's absorption efficiency was greatly increased, completely incomparable to before.
In other words, as long as a Pokémon wears the Refined Shining Stone that has absorbed Ultra Aura, its strength can increase rapidly.
They just need to regularly take the Refined Shining Stone to an Ultra Wormhole to replenish the Ultra Aura!
Ultra Aura has an all-round effect on Pokémon. Whether it's the Pokémon's physical body, the energy circuits Inside the body of the Pokémon, or the energy flowing in the energy circuits, all can be greatly amplified under the influence of Ultra Aura.
Now he needed to get more Sparkling Stones to refine Refined Shining Stones.
However, before going to mine Sparkling Stones, Bai Feng felt that he should first set up a Laboratory, buy a set of experimental equipment, and hire a few Researchers. Otherwise, he couldn't always run to Professor Oak's place, right?
Speaking of Pokémon that could serve as Researchers, Psychic-type Pokémon were naturally the first choice.
Thinking this, Bai Feng opened the Summoning Circle and appeared on Fertility Island, where many Psychic-type Pokémon resided.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 349: Accessories
Various Pokémon inhabit Fertility Island, and many of them recognize Bai Feng, so his arrival was nothing unusual to them.
Bai Feng appeared before Calyrex's Throne. Urshifu was currently cleaning up here with several Kubfu, waiting for their king to return at any moment.
Seeing Bai Feng suddenly appear, Urshifu and the Kubfu were startled, but after recognizing who it was, they were relieved.
"Long time no see, Kubfu, Urshifu!" Bai Feng waved and greeted them.
"Kubfu~~"
"Kubfu~~"
...
The Kubfu adorably waved and greeted Bai Feng, while Urshifu coolly nodded at him.
After chatting for a bit, Bai Feng asked Urshifu, "Do you know where the Psychic-type Pokémon on the island reside? I'd like to ask them for a little help."
"Urshifu~ Urshifu~~"
Urshifu beckoned to one of the Kubfu, signaling it to lead Bai Feng.
"Kubfu~ Kubfu~ Kub... Kubfu~ Kubfu~ Kub..."
That Kubfu skipped happily ahead, indicating for Bai Feng to follow.
Bai Feng said "Thank you" to Urshifu and followed the Kubfu into the Jungle.
The Kubfu was in a good mood, skipping and leading the way while happily singing a little tune with an unclear melody. Every now and then, it would stop to pluck a leaf from a branch, or sniff a wild flower by the roadside, or play for a bit with a Pokémon it encountered.
Bai Feng wasn't in a hurry and just quietly followed behind it.
After walking for some time, a Grassland and a Lake appeared before Bai Feng. Here, he saw many Psychic-type Pokémon: Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Galarian Ponyta, Rapidash, Exeggutor, Xatu... There were even several Beldum, Metang, and Metagross.
As expected of Fertility Island!
Of course, one of the Galarian Legendary Birds, Galarian Articuno, was also there, and all the Psychic-type Pokémon were gathered around it.
"Kubfu~ Kubfu~~~"
The Kubfu seemed very afraid of Galarian Articuno. It pointed into the distance and cried out twice, then scampered away in a flash.
Galarian Articuno's senses were very keen. The commotion the Kubfu made was immediately noticed by it. It suddenly turned its head to look in Bai Feng's direction, and its icy gaze scared Bai Feng so much his heart almost stopped.
No wonder the Kubfu was afraid of it.
As expected of the Cool Pokémon.
Discovering that it was Bai Feng, Galarian Articuno was a little surprised. Its icy gaze softened slightly, but only slightly. Its cool exterior was natural, not something it intentionally put on.
Bai Feng confidently walked out of the Forest and waved to the Pokémon.
"Hey, Articuno, and everyone else, good afternoon!"
"Why are you here? Do you need something?" Galarian Articuno asked after nodding at Bai Feng.
"It's like this," Bai Feng explained. "I want to set up a research laboratory, and I need some intelligent Pokémon to help out. So, I wanted to ask, is anyone willing to help me?"
The Pokémon looked at each other after hearing Bai Feng's words.
They had never left Fertility Island and couldn't imagine what the outside world was like, let alone go help Bai Feng.
Bai Feng quickly explained again, "Don't worry, you won't be working for free. I'll provide food and lodging, plus pay."
Thinking for a moment, he took out some delicious Berries and gave two to each Pokémon.
The moment they ate the Berries, these Psychic-type Pokémon were won over by the wonderful taste. These were the best Berries they had ever eaten!
Seeing the Pokémon's reaction, Bai Feng nodded with satisfaction. He said to them with a smile, "You can eat as many Berries like these as you want at my place, there's plenty."
Hearing this, many Pokémon were tempted.
Indeed, for Pokémon, food is the best medium of communication!
Bai Feng then detailed the various benefits of working at Fangxing Mountain and promised that if they wanted to return to Fertility Island, they could do so at any time.
Suddenly, everyone became even more eager.
However, while they were tempted, they still had concerns about taking actual action, as they knew nothing about the outside world.
Even if this human was talking it up, what if he was a liar?
They involuntarily looked towards Galarian Articuno.
Galarian Articuno knew what they were thinking, so it said, "If any of you want to go, feel free to do so. This human is quite reliable!"
Bai Feng was the person who helped Calyrex and Spectrier and Glastrier reconcile, resolving the long-standing dispute on Fertility Island. In Galarian Articuno's view, he was a trustworthy person.
With Galarian Articuno's words, everyone immediately lost their worries. They rushed over to Bai Feng all at once, clamoring to recommend themselves.
Just thinking about being able to eat those delicious Berries every day in the future was simply amazing.
"Alright, alright, quiet down everyone!" Bai Feng called out helplessly. "I have limited spots, I can't take everyone. How about this, we'll do a test, and those who pass will be selected!"
He was looking for Psychic-type Pokémon to work in the Laboratory, so naturally, he had to choose those with sharp minds; he didn't want little simpletons.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, everyone instantly quieted down.
Bai Feng then gave them some intelligence test questions and some small experiments that required hands-on operation.
After a round of testing, Bai Feng selected four Pokémon: one Metagross, two Indeedee (one male and one female), and one Alakazam.
Metagross and Alakazam were selected purely based on their extremely high intelligence. Their calculation ability left Bai Feng in awe.
He considered himself an academic ace, but compared to these two Pokémon, he felt like the decades he had spent studying in his past and current lives combined were wasted.
As for the two Indeedee, their intelligence wasn't particularly outstanding among the Pokémon present, but they excelled in their hands-on ability and were meticulous and observant, which is why they were also selected.
After the selection, those who were chosen cheered happily, while those who weren't were dejected.
But Bai Feng couldn't help it; he didn't need that many Pokémon. He couldn't possibly take them all home to live for free, could he?
After bringing the four Pokémon home, Bai Feng called over Lopunny and Hatterene and asked them to show the new employees around their future work environment first.
It definitely wouldn't work to have the four Pokémon start working in the Laboratory immediately. He planned to send them to Professor Oak's Laboratory for a period of training first.
After getting the four Pokémon settled, Bai Feng opened a Spatial Portal again and returned to the Altar of the Moone in the Alola Region with Lunala.
After a period of recovery, Lunala had fully recovered from the distress caused by Necrozma. It had its own things to do, so it couldn't stay at Bai Feng's home for a long time.
After seeing Lunala off, Bai Feng went directly inside Wela Volcano through the Summoning Circle.
Deep underground in the volcano, Heatran was sleeping on a pile of Shining Stones. These days, it had eagerly awaited Bai Feng's arrival day and night, but he hadn't come, leaving it in a very low mood.
Sigh~~
Heatran opened its eyes and sighed deeply. Another day passed without that human.
Just as it was about to return to the lava, a Spatial Portal suddenly appeared. Heatran's body trembled. It was that human, that human was here!
Just as Bai Feng was stepping through the other side, he saw Heatran spinning in circles with an excited look on its face.
"Heatran, what are you doing?" Bai Feng asked, puzzled.
"Human, look, these are all the Shining Stones I saved up for you! Do you like them?" it asked Bai Feng with a face full of expectation.
Only then did Bai Feng notice the pile of Shining Stones, which was like a small mountain. He looked surprised; this was several times more than what he had taken last time.
"They're all for me?"
"Mhm mhm~~~" Heatran nodded quickly.
Bai Feng smiled. "I like them very much, thank you, Heatran, you were a great help."
"Then... then... is there any of that sweet honey from last time..." Heatran suddenly showed a hesitant manner.
Bai Feng instantly understood and quickly took out a few bottles of G-Max Sweetness. "Heatran, this is your thank-you gift!"
Seeing the long-desired G-Max Sweetness, Heatran was as excited as a big dog, losing all semblance of a Legendary Pokémon's demeanor, practically spinning in circles on the spot.
It put away the G-Max Sweetness and said with satisfaction, "Human, you're not bad. If you want Shining Stones again in the future, come find me anytime!"
"That's really great!" Bai Feng said gratefully. "Oh, by the way, my name is Bai Feng."
"Bai Feng, huh!" Heatran nodded. "I'll remember you!"
The temperature deep underground in the volcano was too high. Even without fully entering, Bai Feng found it a bit hard to bear. So, after chatting with Heatran for a while, he left with a large pile of Shining Stones.
In the following months, Bai Feng basically shuttled between home and Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Through Professor Oak's connections, he acquired a lot of the most advanced experimental equipment. At the same time, Metagross, Alakazam, and the two Indeedee were diligently learning at Professor Oak's place.
Professor Oak was happy to help Bai Feng, as he had gained many opportunities to research Legendary Pokémon from Bai Feng.
And Shining Stones.
If Bai Feng hadn't brought so many Shining Stones and the hard-to-obtain Ultra Aura, he wouldn't have had so much research material.
In return for Bai Feng's help, he naturally had no objection to letting a few Pokémon study with him.
Moreover, these Pokémon were very intelligent, making teaching them particularly easy. Most of the time, he didn't even need to say much; they could learn independently just by being with him while he worked.
Time flew by, and in a few months, Bai Feng's Laboratory on Fangxing Mountain was completed. It was located on the mountain next to the Space Disk. Because he had money, all the equipment in the Laboratory was top-tier.
After a period of study at Professor Oak's, although Metagross and the others couldn't yet conduct scientific research independently, they could reliably handle certain experimental procedures, such as refining Refined Shining Stones.
Although Metagross and the others had recently started working in the Laboratory on Fangxing Mountain, they still occasionally returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory to study.
In addition, Mewtwo and Solosis would occasionally come to the Laboratory to help out; they also had a certain interest in scientific research.
There's no need to mention Mewtwo. In the original work movie, it managed to crack Team Rocket's cloning experiment and created a large number of cloned Pokémon all by itself. Its talent in scientific research is undeniable.
What Bai Feng didn't expect was that Solosis also had great talent in this area.
However, helping out in the Laboratory didn't interfere with Mewtwo's beloved aircraft. It even wanted to independently develop a super aircraft.
Since Bai Feng obtained the Summoning Circle, the aircraft at home had become little more than decorations; only Mewtwo would fly them around every day.
One day, Bai Feng came to the Laboratory, and the female Indeedee walked out carrying a tray. On it were six fingernail-sized, pale gold Refined Shining Stones. These were the result of the combined efforts of Metagross and the others recently.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Bai Feng said to the Pokémon.
They shook their heads happily. Although they had been very busy during this time, they were also fulfilled and happy. Here, they had seen the rich and colorful Human World, learned advanced knowledge, and eaten delicious food they had never enjoyed before...
Everything here felt both new and fun to them.
Bai Feng said no more and shifted his gaze to the Refined Shining Stones on the tray. The pale gold stones emitted a beautiful radiance.
The next step was to go to the Ultra Wormhole and let these Refined Shining Stones absorb enough Ultra Aura.
This wasn't a difficult task for Bai Feng. He easily went to the Alola Region, found Lunala, and quickly charged the Refined Shining Stones with Ultra Aura.
After parting ways with Lunala, Bai Feng, as agreed, gave it one of the Refined Shining Stones as a thank-you gift.
Returning home, Bai Feng called over Primarina, Heliolisk, Dragonair, Unfezant, and Fennekin and gave each of them a Refined Shining Stone.
Unlike Mega Stones, which can only be used by Pokémon that have evolved to their final evolution, Refined Shining Stones can be used even in a Pokémon's initial form because their influence on the Pokémon is subtle, and the earlier they are used, the better.
Bai Feng crafted an accessory for each Pokémon and then set the Refined Shining Stone in it.
Primarina's was a blue hair ribbon, tied in its flowing long hair, making it look even more ethereal.
Primarina said it liked it very much.
Heliolisk's was a golden collar, a decoration with a very ancient Indian style. Wearing it around its neck gave it an exotic flair.
Dragonair received a silver tail ring, worn on its tail, giving it a more sacred and dignified aura.
Unfezant received a silver anklet. It loved the wind and freedom and was used to being unrestrained, so it didn't really like wearing accessories on its body.
But in order to become stronger, it had to bear with it.
Fennekin received a delicate and small stud earring. After getting it, it treasured it greatly; this was a gift from Bai Feng!
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 350: Is It Going to Transform?
Following this, Bai Feng began observing the changes in the Pokémon after they absorbed the Ultra Aura released by the Refined Shining Stones.
After some time, he found that while the speed at which they grew stronger by absorbing Ultra Aura wasn't as immediate as using a Mega Stone, the Pokémon's progress was still astonishing.
Take Fennekin, for example. Originally, its body wasn't strong enough to contain its overly powerful psychic power, which was why it needed to maintain a mental power link with Bai Feng at all times. If the mental power link was broken, Fennekin would become blind.
But as the Ultra Aura continuously modified its body, causing its strength to rapidly increase and its body strength to be greatly enhanced, it no longer needed to worry about losing its sight even if it was no longer linked with Bai Feng via a mental power link.
Not only that, it could now freely use the psychic power it had been forced to suppress.
When Fennekin was young, using psychic power casually could easily cause damage to its body, but now there was no need to worry. Its body had become tough enough to use psychic power freely.
Bai Feng also discovered that when the Pokémon trained by absorbing Ultra Aura, if he used Rejuvenation on them, it could greatly increase the Pokémon's absorption and digestion efficiency.
Even though he had started using Sparkling Stones and Ultra Aura to enhance the Pokémon's strength, Bai Feng still didn't give up researching them.
After further research, Bai Feng was surprised to find that the Totem Pokémon of the Alola Region were also born from the interaction between Sparkling Stones and Ultra Aura.
The Underground of the Alola Region contains rich Sparkling Stone Ore Veins, which generate a special attraction, continuously drawing Ultra Aura. This results in natural Ultra Wormholes frequently appearing in the Alola Region.
The Ultra Aura leaking from the Ultra Wormholes, influenced by the special gravitational pull, partially permeates into The Earth below and is absorbed by the Sparkling Stones there. Pokémon living near these Sparkling Stones may then be affected.
Under the subtle influence of the Ultra Aura, Totem Pokémon are born.
To some extent, the Pokémon Bai Feng is currently using Refined Shining Stones on are evolving in the direction of Totem Pokémon.
Time flew by, and over a year passed in the blink of an eye. The results of Bai Feng's Pokémon training with the help of Refined Shining Stones were pleasing, and their strength had made significant progress.
Especially Dragonair, which was already very powerful. With the boost from Ultra Aura, it could now almost go toe-to-toe with Meganium, who had stepped into the realm of legend.
Although this was partly due to Meganium being a non-combat Pokémon, it still showed how fast Dragonair's progress was. After all, legend and normal Pokémon are two different levels, existing in two different worlds.
During this year, Bai Feng successively equipped Refined Shining Stones for Hatterene, Talonflame Captain, Pheromosa, Salazzle, Liepard, Tinkaton, the Diggersby family, Gyarados Leader, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, the Pangoro brothers and sisters, Gengar, Mismagius, Chandelure, five Cursola, Trevenant Leader, the Meowstic siblings, Solosis, Vaporeon, Leavanny, Machamp, the Nidoking and Nidoqueen couple, Clefable Leader, and others.
Of course, there was also himself!
His psychic power could also be strengthened through Refined Shining Stones.
Therefore, during this past year, he traveled back and forth between the Alola Region and the Kalos Region.
Because he manufactured too many Refined Shining Stones, Bai Feng consumed a large amount of Sparkling Stones. Eventually, Tapu Koko and Tapu Fini successively found him and subtly suggested that he restrain himself a bit.
Tapu Lele was even more furious and fought him.
The result, of course, was that Bai Feng won, and Tapu Lele was severely taught a lesson.
He didn't know what they were worried about. The Underground of Alola contained countless Sparkling Stones that could never be fully mined. Others didn't have the ability to mine them either. The small amount Bai Feng consumed was just a drop in the ocean, completely insignificant.
Because he frequently visited Heatran, Bai Feng was now completely familiar with it.
However, since he received a warning from the Alola Guardian Deity, Bai Feng did restrain himself somewhat and didn't continue to collect large amounts of Sparkling Stones. He was a person who followed the rules.
Anyway, Refined Shining Stones were not consumables, and what he had on hand was temporarily enough.
In the past month, Bai Feng had only collected Sparkling Stones once.
Today, he was helping Metagross and the others process this batch of Sparkling Stones, planning to refine them into Refined Shining Stones.
After refining this one, Bai Feng wouldn't go mining Sparkling Stones again for a while.
Halfway through the processing, the Male Indeedee suddenly let out a surprised cry.
"Indeedee, what's wrong?" Bai Feng looked over in confusion.
"dee~dee~~~"
Indeedee held up a palm-sized Sparkling Stone for Bai Feng to see. At first, Bai Feng didn't notice anything unusual, so it held the Sparkling Stone closer to Bai Feng.
"dee~dee~" Look closely, look closely!
It was then that Bai Feng finally noticed the uniqueness of this Sparkling Stone. It contained a grayish-white rhombus-shaped crystal in the middle, and in the center of the crystal was a black star pattern.
Seeing this crystal, Bai Feng's heart trembled.
It was Ultra Necrozma's Z-Crystal!
Lunala and the others had searched for a long time. Who would have thought it would be wrapped in a Sparkling Stone and buried deep Underground?
It was truly finding something without searching, and obtaining it effortlessly!
With this Z-Crystal, did it mean that Necrozma could restore its true form as the Radiant One?
Thinking of this, Bai Feng took the Sparkling Stone containing the Z-Crystal from Indeedee's hand and said to Metagross and the others, "You guys keep busy, I have something I need to leave for."
Indeedee and the others were high-intelligence Pokémon and guessed that the crystal must be very important, so they all nodded, telling Bai Feng to go ahead, and they would complete the work properly.
Leaving the Laboratory, Bai Feng immediately opened the summoning circle and went to the Alola Region, where he summoned Lunala at the Altar of the Moone.
"Bai Feng, long time no see. Do you want to open an Ultra Wormhole?" Lunala asked, squinting its eyes as soon as it saw Bai Feng.
Thanks to the Refined Shining Stone Bai Feng had given it, its strength had made significant progress, and it was now even more grateful to Bai Feng, almost granting his every request.
Bai Feng shook his head, "I came to find you today for something more important!"
"Hmm? Something more important?" Lunala tilted its head, looking puzzled.
"That's right, look at this!" Saying this, Bai Feng took out Ultra Necrozma's Z-Crystal.
The moment it saw the Z-Crystal, Lunala's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that the Radiant One's Z-Crystal?"
Having searched for so long, Lunala naturally couldn't fail to recognize Ultra Necrozma's Z-Crystal. It was just that something it had searched for countless days and nights suddenly appeared before it, making it a little hard to believe!
"That's right, it's the Radiant One's Z-Crystal!" Bai Feng nodded affirmatively.
"That's great, that's great!" Lunala was almost crying with joy.
As long as the Radiant One was restored, they would no longer have to worry about sudden attacks.
"Now what we need to do is help the Radiant One return to its former appearance!" Bai Feng said.
"Yes, yes!" Lunala nodded repeatedly. "Without further ado, I'll go find everyone now. Bai Feng, can you come with me?"
"Everyone" in Lunala's words referred to the other Lunala and Solgaleo.
Bai Feng nodded, "Of course!"
"Thank you, Bai Feng!" Lunala said gratefully. Bai Feng had helped it so much.
"You're welcome, we're friends, helping each other is what we should do. I always have to trouble you to come and help me open Ultra Wormholes, and I haven't been polite about it!" Bai Feng said, patting Lunala's neck.
Bai Feng needed to frequently enter Ultra Wormholes to replenish the Ultra Aura for the Refined Shining Stones. Lunala always helped him patiently, and he had always kept it in mind.
"Then let's go!"
Lunala let Bai Feng ride on its back, then opened an Ultra Wormhole and flew in with Bai Feng.
Lunala brought Bai Feng to a new Ultra Space, which was the Home for the Lunala and Solgaleo.
However, after observing the situation there, Bai Feng found that besides a limited number of Cosmog and Cosmoem, there were no other Lunala or Solgaleo present.
Only after Lunala's explanation did Bai Feng understand that everyone else was out doing things.
With Lunala's call, the other Lunala and Solgaleo returned one after another. However, including the one Bai Feng knew, there were only two Lunala and two Solgaleo in total here.
One of the Lunala and one of the Solgaleo were precisely the pair of legends that descended upon the Alola Region in ancient times.
These two Legendary Pokémon were very friendly towards Bai Feng. They had heard about Bai Feng from Lunala and knew about all the help Bai Feng had given Lunala.
When they learned that Bai Feng had brought them the Radiant One's Z-Crystal, these two ancient Pokémon were also overjoyed.
They were Pokémon who had lived with the Radiant One in the Ultra World since very, very ancient times and shared a deep bond with the Radiant One. They wished more than anyone for the Radiant One to return to its former appearance, not only for the prosperity of the Ultra World but also for their mutual affection.
"Without further ado, let's start quickly!" Lunala urged.
"But where do we find the Radiant One now?" the young Solgaleo asked in confusion.
"Leave that to Bai Feng! He has a method!" Lunala said confidently.
Bai Feng nodded, "Leave it to me, don't worry. However, before calling the Radiant One, we must make sufficient preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong!"
"Preparations? What preparations?"
All four Legendary Pokémon looked at Bai Feng in confusion.
"That's right!" Bai Feng nodded. "Please wait a moment."
Saying this, Bai Feng activated the summoning circle and simultaneously opened two spatial portals. From them emerged Bai Ye, Mewtwo, and Calyrex riding Spectrier.
Compared to before, Calyrex now looked even more powerful, carrying the noble aura of a king in its every move.
It was very happy to see Bai Feng.
"Bai Feng, long time no see!"
"Luu~~~"
Spectrier also raised its head and greeted Bai Feng.
"Calyrex, Spectrier, long time no see! How have you been recently?" Bai Feng smiled and waved at the two Pokémon.
"Very well, very well!" Calyrex said with a smile.
By revealing "divine power" in various parts of the world, Calyrex had gained a large amount of faith.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Feng explained to Calyrex the reason for calling it over and also introduced Calyrex to Lunala and Solgaleo.
"The moment I summon the Radiant One, you will all exert your strength simultaneously and quickly restrain the Radiant One. With the seven of you together, I believe you can restrain the Radiant One," Bai Feng explained his plan to the seven Pokémon.
The Pokémon nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
If it were Ultra Necrozma, they might not be able to restrain it, but the current Necrozma certainly couldn't withstand the combined efforts of seven Legendary Pokémon, especially when six of them were tier 1 legendary.
"If you're ready, I'll begin!" Bai Feng said, looking at the seven Pokémon.
The seven Pokémon nodded simultaneously. They formed a circle, with Bai Feng's summoning circle levitating in the center.
Receiving the response from the seven Pokémon, Bai Feng began to activate the summoning circle.
In Space, Necrozma was frantically chasing Rayquaza when a ring suddenly appeared, causing it to plunge headfirst into it.
When Rayquaza looked back, it just saw the ring disappear.
It recognized that ring; it belonged to Bai Feng!
Rayquaza accelerated, wanting to follow Necrozma to Bai Feng, but just as it reached the edge of the ring, the ring suddenly vanished.
Rayquaza was furious, raising its tail and smashing several large meteorites.
On Bai Feng's side, the moment Necrozma appeared, the seven Psychic-type Pokémon simultaneously unleashed their psychic power, instantly immobilizing it.
Necrozma hadn't even had time to unleash its power when it found itself unable to move. It struggled desperately, outputting psychic power frantically, causing the surrounding Space to distort.
Mewtwo Y, which had completed Mega Evolution, was quick-witted. It flicked its hand and cast Imprison, and Necrozma instantly quieted down.
The seven Legendary Pokémon exerted their strength simultaneously again, and Necrozma gradually fell asleep.
Seeing this, Bai Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were no accidents.
"Alright, step two, open the Ultra Wormhole!" Bai Feng commanded.
Lunala nodded, and a beam of light shot from its forehead. The Ultra Wormhole opened accordingly.
"Take the Radiant One inside!"
The seven Pokémon nodded, using psychic power to carry the sleeping Radiant One into the Ultra Wormhole.
Necrozma floated there quietly, completely still, completely different from its usual violent, frantic appearance.
Bai Feng floated over to its side and placed the Z-Crystal on its forehead. He was then surprised to find that the Z-Crystal slowly sank into its body.
Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly retreated to the side and watched Necrozma with the seven Pokémon.
Is it going to transform?
The two Lunala and two Solgaleo were excited.
