Chapter 391: The Teacup and the Treasure Chest
The cup was dirty, wet, and covered in moss. Bai Feng couldn't help but put it in water and wash it repeatedly, even taking out his spare toothbrush to scrub it again and again.
Just as the cup was about to be scrubbed clean, it suddenly trembled violently and let out strange bursts of laughter.
What the heck is this!
Bai Feng instinctively threw it out.
The cup didn't fall into the Sea Area but floated in Mid-air. Little by little, green liquid surged in the cup, and soon a floppy little head appeared within it.
This wasn't an Antique Teacup at all; it was clearly a Polteageist.
Polteageist, Grass Type and Ghost type, the Matcha Pokémon, the evolution of Sinistea. Legend has it that they blend into residential homes, disguise themselves as drinks, and then absorb stamina from the people who drink them.
Bai Feng looked at the Polteageist giggling non-stop in the air, his forehead covered in black lines, and couldn't help but look at the Seadra that had brought it.
The Seadra was also completely bewildered. It didn't know that the cup was a Pokémon! The cup had been stored in its Home for several years, and it had never noticed anything unusual.
This cup and the pile of bottles and jars were all picked up from a sunken wrecked boat, including that Treasure Chest.
"Um, Polteageist, I didn't mean to, are you okay?" Bai Feng said apologetically.
"Hehehe~~~"
The Polteageist floated over to Bai Feng, pointed to the only spot on its body that hadn't been scrubbed clean, and motioned for Bai Feng to continue scrubbing it clean.
"Alright, alright, consider it my debt to you."
Bai Feng reluctantly picked up the toothbrush and continued to wash and scrub the Polteageist's body. Before long, he had scrubbed it brand new.
During the washing process, the Polteageist giggled uncontrollably from being tickled by Bai Feng's brush. The reason it had woken up from its slumber just now was precisely because it was being brushed too ticklishly.
Without the moss and dirt, the Polteageist shone brightly. It narcissistically floated onto the Sea Area, using its reflection in the water to admire itself.
Quite vain! Bai Feng couldn't help but laugh.
Actually, calling the Polteageist an Antique wasn't wrong. The Teacup it inhabited seemed to be a masterpiece by a famous artist, and it was hundreds of years old.
After admiring its clean body, the Polteageist flew towards the Treasure Chest and reached out to slap the lid repeatedly.
"Come out! Come out! Come out!"
Seeing the Polteageist act like this, Bai Feng's heart stirred. So that Treasure Chest... was also a Pokémon?
Speaking of Treasure Chest-shaped Pokémon, there was only one...
After the Polteageist slapped it vigorously for a while, the Treasure Chest suddenly trembled violently. Then, the lid sprang open, and a small, dark face poked out from a chest full of Gold Coins.
It had probably just woken up, looking not only sleepy but also letting out several yawns.
Seeing this Pokémon, Bai Feng thought to himself: As expected, it's it!
Gimmighoul, Ghost type, the Treasure Chest Pokémon. Although its appearance resembles a Treasure Chest, it is actually a Pokémon. Legend says they like to use Ghost energy to control Humans to help them find Gold Coins. Once they collect enough Gold Coins, they can evolve into a more powerful stage—Gholdengo.
Actually, Gimmighoul has two forms. The one in front of Bai Feng, hidden in the chest, is called the Chest Form. The other form, which is separate from the chest, is called the Roaming Form.
Roaming Form Gimmighoul are born from the enthusiasm that permeates coins. As for how enthusiasm permeates coins, nobody knows.
Roaming Form Gimmighoul like to wander around carrying a coin on their back. If someone picks up their coin, their stamina will be absorbed.
The two forms of Gimmighoul each have their own characteristics.
Chest Form Gimmighoul have high Defense but are very slow and not good at moving, so once they stay in one place, they rarely move again. Roaming Form Gimmighoul have lower Defense but are faster; they like to run around everywhere.
Seeing that it was the Polteageist that had woken it up, the Gimmighoul looked a bit listless.
"Don't bother me when I'm sleeping."
"Wake up, wake up!" The Polteageist vigorously slapped the Gimmighoul, making its face swell up. "Look at that!" It pointed at Bai Feng and shouted.
Bai Feng: ()???
I'm a Human, what else could I be?
Even if you don't see Humans often, you don't need to be this surprised, right?
After being slapped by the Polteageist, the Gimmighoul gradually woke up and finally realized it was no longer at the bottom of the Sea Area. When it turned its head and saw Bai Feng, its eyes instantly lit up.
"A Human! It's a Human!" (Bai Feng: I know I'm a Human, you don't need to remind me.)
It darted out of the Treasure Chest, hopped and skipped over to Bai Feng, and tightly hugged Bai Feng's thigh.
"Do you know how long I've waited for this day?"
Seeing the Gimmighoul's excited appearance, Bai Feng looked helplessly at the Polteageist.
The Polteageist had no choice but to explain the reason for the Gimmighoul's excitement.
The Gimmighoul needed 999 Gold Coins to evolve, but it had only collected half, 499. To get the remaining half, it had been waiting to be picked up by a Human and taken Home, and then use the Human's help to collect Gold Coins.
However, it waited year after year, and no Human ever salvaged it from the seabed, so it could only pass the time by sleeping day after day.
Now that it finally saw a Human, how could it not be excited?
The Gimmighoul cried tearfully, "Boss, take me with you, please take me with you!"
Bai Feng pulled it off his pants leg. "Don't be so excited, speak properly."
"No, I won't!" The Gimmighoul quickly climbed back up Bai Feng's pants leg. "If Boss doesn't agree, I won't let go!"
"But I don't have Gold Coins either. Where can I help you collect them? Besides, you need quite a lot!" Five hundred Gold Coins!
"If there are no Gold Coins, Silver Coins will do too," the Gimmighoul said, settling for the next best thing.
Actually, Gimmighoul can evolve with any coin, but in the era it lived in, there were no such things as coins, only Copper Coins, Silver Coins, and Gold Coins.
Evolving with Copper Coins felt too degrading to the Gimmighoul. Gold Coins were best, and if not Gold Coins, Silver Coins were barely acceptable.
"I don't have Silver Coins either," Bai Feng said with a troubled look.
"Ah! That's right!"
At this moment, the Gimmighoul seemed to remember something. It jumped off Bai Feng's pants leg and drilled back into its Treasure Chest, rummaging through the pile of Gold Coins.
"Strange, where did it go? I clearly put it in there!" The Gimmighoul wiggled its butt around. "Ah! Found it!"
The Gimmighoul pulled its head out of the pile of Gold Coins, holding something up and shouting excitedly, "This!"
It was a Mega Stone! Bai Feng looked at the thing in the Gimmighoul's hand in surprise.
"I'll give this to you, and you take me in and find Gold Coins for me," the Gimmighoul said, holding up the Mega Stone.
"Okay... okay!" Bai Feng agreed after taking the Mega Stone.
He hadn't originally intended to agree, but the Gimmighoul was offering too much! A Mega Stone!
Getting Gold Coins wasn't difficult; you could buy them if you had money. Bai Feng had plenty of money, but a Mega Stone wasn't something you could necessarily buy even with money.
"Yay! Yay!"
The Gimmighoul jumped and bounced, pumping its fists, then plunged headfirst into the Gold Coins in the Treasure Chest, happily rolling around in them.
Bai Feng observed the Mega Stone in his hand. He saw red and gray spiral patterns intertwined within the transparent crystal. It was actually a Scizor's Mega Stone!
After finishing its excitement, the Gimmighoul finally remembered its little companion. It poked its head out of the pile of Gold Coins and looked at the Polteageist, asking:
"I'm going with Boss now, what about you? I don't want to be separated from you..."
"Wuwuwu... I don't want to either." The Polteageist looked at Bai Feng pitifully. "Can't Boss take me too?"
Hearing this, the Gimmighoul also looked at Bai Feng with a face full of expectation.
"Alright... alright."
Bai Feng's heart softened, and he agreed. Taking one is fine, taking two is fine too. The Polteageist could be a companion for the Sinistea at Home.
Besides, the Teacup it inhabited was a famous Antique, which would look great as a display piece at Home.
"Yay, yay!"
The two Pokémon immediately held hands and spun in circles.
Bai Feng didn't put them into Poké Balls but opened the Distortion Space and temporarily placed them inside.
Through communication, Bai Feng was surprised to learn that the Gimmighoul and Polteageist actually knew the location of Dragon Island. What a coincidence!
It was truly a case of searching high and low only to find it right under his nose!
It turned out that the sunken boat found by the Seadra belonged to Poacher who had invaded Dragon Island. It was sunk by the Pokémon on Dragon Island and eventually drifted with the tide to the Seadra's territory.
However, the Polteageist and Gimmighoul were not the Pokémon of those Poacher; they had been captured and brought onto the boat as cargo by the Poacher.
Originally, the Poacher planned to make a fortune from the Polteageist's famous Teacup and the Gimmighoul's Gold Coins, but they unexpectedly met their demise at Dragon Island.
After the boat sank, the two Pokémon remained asleep at the bottom of the Sea Area.
Hundreds of years passed. Although Dragonite's memory was blurry, the Gimmighoul and Polteageist remembered everything clearly.
After settling the Gimmighoul and Polteageist, Bai Feng sorted through the collectibles brought by the Seadra and put them away. Then, he handed over the Dragon Scales to them, giving out dozens of pieces.
Dragonite's Dragon Scales weren't even enough, so Bai Feng used the Dragon Scales left behind from Dragonair's shedding in the past.
Bai Feng was practically half-trading and half-giving, as many of the Seadra's collectibles were not enough to exchange for Dragon Scales.
After getting the Dragon Scales, the Seadra were as excited as if it were a festival!
Learning from the Dragalge's lesson, this time the Seadra decided it was better to use the Dragon Scales directly.
Bai Feng was very curious about how the Seadra would use the Dragon Scales to complete their evolution, so he decided to stay and gain some experience.
Human Trainers need to use Link Trade with Dragon Scales to help Seadra evolve. But Seadra in their natural state can't perform Link Trade, so how do they evolve?
Led by a group of Seadra and Horsea, Bai Feng dived into the Sea Area and swam with them towards a certain place.
Soon, a huge grayish-brown rock appeared in Bai Feng's line of sight.
As soon as he got close to that rock, he felt a strange magnetic field on the stone.
So this stone was the key to the Seadra's evolution?
Indeed, all the Seadra and Horsea stopped at the edge of the rock.
The rock generally resembled a gateway, but it had no door, only an Archway.
A Seadra carrying Dragon Scales swam into the Archway and began performing the Dragon Dance within the Archway.
According to the Seadra, if they didn't learn the Dragon Dance move, even with Dragon Scales, they couldn't complete their evolution in a natural state.
As a section of the Dragon Dance finished, the Seadra within the Archway suddenly erupted with brilliant radiance.
"Woo~~~"
One Seadra let out a long cry towards the sky, and the other Seadra and Horsea quickly followed suit, as if cheering on the evolving Seadra.
Evolution was a sacred and solemn event for Seadra, as it was not easy for a single Seadra to evolve into a Kingdra.
As time passed, the radiance dissipated, and a brand new Pokémon appeared in Bai Feng's line of sight.
Looking at the majestic Kingdra, Bai Feng couldn't help but exclaim: Nature is truly amazing!
Compared to Seadra, Kingdra's size was much larger.
Kingdra's appearance still resembled a seahorse, but its head was very similar to a Chinese Dragon. It had a pair of fins on its back, and its body was covered in deep blue scales that shimmered with an elegant and profound luster.
It was indeed imposing.
It is said that Ancient nobles would present the scales shed by Kingdra to the King in exchange for rewards.
Kingdra generally only live in the deep Sea Area and are rarely seen by ordinary people, so their scales are regarded as treasures.
The Kingdra walked back from the Archway, and the Seadra and Horsea swam over one after another, showering it with praise.
"Woo~~~"
The Kingdra let out a cry, and only then did the Seadra and Horsea quiet down. The other Seadra quickly took their Dragon Scales and entered the Archway, completing their evolution one after another.
Who knows how long passed, but all the Seadra had used up the Dragon Scales they exchanged from Bai Feng, and the Tribe had gained dozens of Kingdra.
From now on, this Sea Area would be their domain. Let's see who dares to cause trouble without knowing better!
After watching the Seadra evolve, Bai Feng bid them farewell and set off on the journey to find Dragon Island, led by the Polteageist.
As for the Dragalge, it was still kept in the territory by the Kingdra. Unless it compensated them with Dragon Scales, the Kingdra would not let it leave.
Dragon Island was actually not far from the Kingdra's territory. About four days later, a patch of green appeared in Bai Feng's line of sight.
That was the dense vegetation on the Island.
"We're here! We're here!"
The Polteageist shouted excitedly, stirring the liquid in its cup non-stop, becoming more and more energetic as it stirred.
Dragonite's memory had been blurry, but upon seeing Dragon Island again, its memory gradually became clearer.
"It's here, this is Dragon Island!" Dragonite said with a trembling voice.
Bai Feng patted Dragonite's shoulder and comforted it, "Congratulations, Dragonite, you can go Home again."
"Woo~~~"
Dragonite couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky.
However, it would have been better if it hadn't called out. As soon as it called, a sound immediately responded to it.
Suddenly, a giant Dragon-shaped Pokémon appeared above Bai Feng and the others, looking fierce and aggressive, as if it wanted to swallow them whole.
"Roar~~~~" Who are you?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 392: The Old Dragon
Appearing before Bai Feng and the others was a ferocious-looking Salamence. Although it initially approached aggressively, it wasn't in a state of complete rage. But when it saw Bai Feng, a Human, its anger instantly ignited like a firecracker.
"Humans, it's Humans! Roar~ Despicable Humans!"
Saying this, it opened its terrifying mouth and spewed Flamethrower, intending to burn Bai Feng to ashes.
Just then, Dragonite used Extreme Speed and charged forward, instantly knocking the Salamence flying.
"Roar~~"
The Salamence let out a shrill roar. The next second, Dragonite closed in again and slammed an Ice Punch heavily onto the Salamence's jaw.
"Roar!!!"
An icy chill spread, and the Salamence wailed. Its body quickly froze over, and it then plummeted straight into the sea.
Being defeated so easily wasn't because the Salamence was too weak, but because Dragonite was too strong.
After defeating the Salamence, Bai Feng and his group officially advanced towards the Island. Two Members separated from the Lapras group and used the ropes Bai Feng provided to drag the frozen Salamence towards the shore.
Soon, they reached the shore.
The Lapras dragged the Salamence onto the shore and left it there. Anyway, Dragonite hadn't used heavy force. Once the ice melted, it would be fine.
Bai Feng didn't Recall his Lapras but let it stay in the sea to strengthen its bond with its parents. After leaving Dragon Island, they would have to separate again.
After landing on the Island, Bai Feng and Dragonite hadn't walked two steps before they were surrounded by a group of Scrafty and Scraggy.
Besides a large number of Dragon-type Pokémon, Dragon Island is also home to many Pokémon whose Egg Group includes Dragon. Scrafty and Scraggy are among them. Other similar Pokémon include Charizard, Arbok, Heliolisk, Sandaconda, and so on.
The Scrafty and Scraggy jumped and shouted at Bai Feng and Dragonite, their extremely arrogant attitude fully displaying their thuggish nature.
*You guys probably don't know who you're provoking, do you?*
The Scrafty and Scraggy raised their fists and attacked Bai Feng and Dragonite. Dragonite stepped forward, shielding Bai Feng behind its tall body, letting the fists of the Scrafty and Scraggy land on it.
But the Scrafty and Scraggy couldn't even break Dragonite's Defense. Their punches hitting Dragonite were almost no different from tickling.
"Roar~~~"
Dragonite roared, its wings vibrating rapidly. A Twister rose from the Ground, instantly flipping all the Scrafty and Scraggy away.
The Scrafty and Scraggy rolled a long distance on the Ground before regaining their balance. Now, they finally didn't dare to approach Dragonite and Bai Feng anymore.
Just then, a flock of Altaria and Swablu happened to pass by in the Sky. The Scrafty and Scraggy immediately cried out for help.
The Altaria looked down and saw that it was a Human with a Dragonite invading. How could this be tolerated? They cried out in anger, circling continuously above Bai Feng and Dragonite's heads.
As the leading one gave the command, streams of Dragon Pulse rained down from the Sky, almost enough to drown Dragonite and Bai Feng.
"Roar!!!"
Dragonite roared up at the Sky again, flapping its wings and soaring into the High Altitude. Immediately following, a violent gale appeared. The wind blades generated instantly cut through all the Dragon Pulse, leaving none behind.
The gale continued to rage. The Altaria caught in the wind couldn't continue flying at all and could only be tossed around like in a washing machine by the gale.
By the time the wind stopped and the sound subsided, the Altaria had fallen to the Ground one after another, unconscious.
This scene was witnessed by a group of Dragonite. How could this be tolerated? Someone was attacking their Home.
Immediately, five Dragonite descended from the Sky, surrounding Bai Feng and Dragonite.
Seeing this, Bai Feng said to his Dragonite, "Just battle, don't worry about me." He was too lazy to explain to the Pokémon on Dragon Island. As soon as they saw him, a Human, their eyes immediately turned red, which was simply unreasonable.
Dragonite nodded, punching its fists together. The surging Aura caused the five Dragonite who were about to Attack to pause.
But facing invaders, no matter how powerful the opponent was, they would charge forward fearlessly.
The five Dragonite, using Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, or Fire Punch, rushed towards Bai Feng's Dragonite fearlessly.
Bai Feng's Dragonite struck first. It possessed Speed faster than a Normal Dragonite. In the blink of an eye, it was behind one Dragonite, knocking it to the Ground with a Dragon Claw. Then, with a backhand Dragon Claw, it knocked down another Dragonite, without any hesitation.
The remaining three Dragonite saw how fierce Bai Feng's Dragonite was and instinctively took a step back. Bai Feng's Dragonite seized the opportunity, closed in, and knocked down two more Dragonite with a Dragon Claw on the left and a Dragon Claw on the right.
The last remaining Dragonite's eyes darted around. Seeing that it couldn't defeat the opponent, it actually turned its gaze towards Bai Feng and charged at him with roars.
Just as it was about to get close to Bai Feng, a Golden Ring suddenly appeared. The Dragonite plunged headfirst into the Golden Ring, and when it reappeared, it was face-to-face with Bai Feng's Dragonite.
Before that Dragonite could even feel confused, Bai Feng's Dragonite's Dragon Claw was already right in its face.
The commotion generated by the Battle here had long attracted the attention of other Pokémon on Dragon Island. When the last attacking Dragonite was defeated, Bai Feng found himself and Dragonite completely surrounded.
Dragon-type Pokémon were everywhere.
Standing on the Ground were Gible, Gabite, Garchomp, Axew, Fraxure, Haxorus, Druddigon, Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o, Kommo-o...
Flying in the Sky were Noibat, Noivern, Hydreigon, Salamence, Dragonite, Dragonair, Vibrava, Flygon...
Almost every common Dragon-type Pokémon could be found here, totaling at least a thousand.
These Pokémon all looked at Bai Feng and Dragonite with anger, as if they would swarm them at any moment. Bai Feng silently tightened his grip on Da Meng and Er Meng's Poké Balls, ready to release them at any time.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, a roar came from behind the multitude of Pokémon.
Hearing this sound, the Pokémon surrounding Bai Feng and the others silently made way. Immediately after, a Hydreigon descended from the Sky.
From the Hydreigon, Bai Feng sensed a powerful Aura similar to Dragonite's.
This was a Pokémon that had touched upon the legendary level!
Bai Feng wasn't surprised that there was a Pokémon of this level on Dragon Island.
"Roar~~~" Retreat, all of you.
The Hydreigon roared at the other Pokémon. They instantly quieted down and retreated one after another, though they didn't leave, only watching from a distance.
Seeing this, the Hydreigon turned its gaze back to Bai Feng and Dragonite.
"Human, if you leave now, I can forgive your mistake of trespassing on Dragon Island!"
Dragonite didn't retreat an inch, staring intently at the Hydreigon, seemingly trying hard to remember something.
Seeing that the one in charge of Dragon Island had appeared, Bai Feng stepped out from behind Dragonite and said to the Hydreigon, "The Dragonite beside me is also a Pokémon that originated from Dragon Island. I'm just accompanying it back for a visit."
Bai Feng's words startled the Hydreigon. It began to examine Dragonite carefully and, after a while, suddenly asked tentatively, "Are you Xiao Shuai?"
Dragonite also seemed to remember the Hydreigon. "Are you Xiao Mei?"
"It's me, it's me!" The Hydreigon suddenly became very excited and quickly flew to Dragonite's side.
"Xiao Shuai, I can't believe I'm seeing you again. I'm so happy!"
After Dragonite left Dragon Island back then, the Elders punished all the Pokémon that had bullied it. The Hydreigon was one of them.
But what was the use of punishment? Dragonite was already missing. The Elders searched the area around Dragon Island thoroughly but couldn't find Dragonite.
As time passed, Dragonite never returned, and everyone thought it had perished outside. The Pokémon who had bullied Dragonite, like the Hydreigon, gradually felt guilt.
In the words of the Elders, they were the culprits who killed Dragonite.
Countless years had passed. The companions of yesteryear had passed away one by one with regret, only it remained stubbornly alive, diligently guarding Dragon Island.
"It's great that you're okay." The Hydreigon actually shed tears.
Dragonite was momentarily unsure how to face the Hydreigon with its emotions. It had wandered alone for hundreds of years outside, and the Hydreigon and the others bore undeniable responsibility for that. It couldn't even forgive them to this day.
"How about everyone else? Are they okay?" Dragonite asked in a low voice.
The Hydreigon shook its head. "Everyone is gone."
The Pokémon on Dragon Island now were all their descendants. The Pokémon it knew and was familiar with had all passed away.
Hearing this, Dragonite suddenly fell silent. At the same time, its heart suddenly felt enlightened.
Everyone is gone, so it should also let go of the past and start anew! Thinking this, it couldn't help but glance at Bai Feng.
*He gave me New Life!*
Of course, Dragonite saying it would start anew didn't mean it forgave everything the Hydreigon and the others had done in the past. It had simply put down its burden and planned to set off again.
"I want to go see everyone," Dragonite said.
There is a Dragon Tomb on Dragon Island where all the Pokémon who have passed away on the Island are buried.
"Okay!" The Hydreigon nodded. However, its gaze shifted to Bai Feng and said, "But this Human cannot!"
Before Dragonite could say anything, the Hydreigon questioned it again, "Why did you bring a Human to Dragon Island? Have you forgotten the mistake your parents once made? Or are you trying to retaliate against Dragon Island using the same method?"
Bai Feng was taken aback by the Hydreigon's words. Did its attitude have to change so quickly? Just a moment ago, it was full of guilt, and in the blink of an eye, its eyes were full of questions. You truly live up to your name, Hydreigon!
Hearing this, Dragonite's eyes instantly turned red. Its parents' past was almost a sore spot it couldn't mention. It roared and questioned the Hydreigon, "Are you trying to provoke me?"
"Dragonite, calm down!" Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly patted Dragonite. Only then did Dragonite gradually regain its composure.
Bai Feng then looked at the Hydreigon and said, "I truly have no ill will towards Dragon Island. Otherwise, even flattening Dragon Island in an instant is not something I couldn't do!"
"Roar!!!"
The Hydreigon was enraged. It roared, "Stop bragging! Do you think I'll let you do as you please?"
"Don't believe me?" Bai Feng chuckled lightly. "Then today, I'll show you!"
Saying this, he took out a Poké Ball and threw it into the Sky. Da Meng, Er Meng, and Diancie immediately appeared outside.
"Diancie, you keep the Hydreigon busy. Da Meng, Er Meng, you two lift Dragon Island for me!"
Da Meng: "No problem!"
Er Meng: "Yes!"
Diancie: "Okay, Bai Feng."
After the three Pokémon responded, Da Meng and Er Meng immediately ascended to High Altitude, one in front and one behind.
The Hydreigon roared, wanting to fly up and stop them, but a Golden Ring appeared out of nowhere. The Hydreigon, caught off guard, plunged in and returned to its original spot. Waiting for it was Diancie's Dazzling Gleam.
Caught off guard, the Hydreigon was knocked flying by Dazzling Gleam and fell heavily to the Ground.
Fairy type Dazzling Gleam deals four times the damage to Hydreigon!
The reason Bai Feng did this was to vent Dragonite's frustration.
The Poachers back then were indeed brought to Dragon Island by Dragonite's parents, but they didn't know they were bad people. Dragon Island was also their Home, and they were also victims.
The only ones who were truly evil were the Poachers, from beginning to end.
But Dragonite's parents were hated and resented by all the Pokémon on the Island.
Even if Dragonite's parents were at fault, they paid the price with their lives in the Battle against the Poachers. All the grudges and hatred disappeared with them. What did any of that have to do with Dragonite? There was no reason for Dragonite to be bullied.
Those Elders seemed to criticize the bullies like the Hydreigon afterward, but what were they doing before? It was impossible for them not to notice Dragonite being bullied at all.
It was simply indifference!
So today, he was going to teach the Pokémon of Dragon Island a lesson.
"Roar~~~"
The Hydreigon flew up from the Ground, opening its mouth and firing a Dark Pulse at Diancie. Diancie raised its hands, and Diamond Storm appeared out of nowhere, shattering the Dark Pulse.
The Hydreigon flew higher and higher, continuously spitting Dark Pulse to defend against Diancie's Attack and trying to stop the two Mewtwo. But as soon as it flew to a certain height, a Ring would suddenly send it back to its original spot.
The Hydreigon was furious.
Diancie seized the opportunity. Spears shot out, hitting one of the Hydreigon's wings and pinning it to the Ground.
The Hydreigon struggled fiercely, enduring the intense pain to break free. It opened its mouth and unleashed a Tri Attack at Diancie, but Bai Feng used Summoning Circle to return it to itself.
The Hydreigon wailed. Diancie, however, seized the moment and launched a Moonblast. The Hydreigon wailed again and fell to the Ground.
Diancie was holding back its strength. Otherwise, how could the Hydreigon have endured it, and how could it have watched Dragon Island being lifted?
Suddenly, the Earth trembled violently. Da Meng and Mewtwo in the air were emitting intense purple radiance. Under their Psychic control, Dragon Island was actually rising into the Sky little by little.
Seeing this scene, all the Pokémon on the Island looked at the two Mewtwo with awe.
Bai Feng looked at the Hydreigon with a half-smile and said, "How about that? I keep my word! If I had ill will towards Dragon Island, you wouldn't be able to stop me!"
(End of Chapter)
**Chapter 393: Hydrapple**
Although Hydreigon could fly, under the mutual cooperation of Bai Feng and Diancie, it was constantly harassed and couldn't shake them off, let alone stop Da Meng and Er Meng.
Seeing that half of Dragon Island had already lifted off the sea surface, Hydreigon finally didn't dare to resist any further. It shouted loudly:
"Enough! Enough! I surrender, I'm willing to trust you. Do whatever you want on Dragon Island!"
Hearing this, Bai Feng waved his hand at Da Meng and Er Meng in the air and looked at Hydreigon, asking, "Truly?"
With Bai Feng's signal, the rising Dragon Island stopped.
"Truly! Truly!" Hydreigon said, its face full of frustration.
"Very good!" Bai Feng nodded in satisfaction. He waved his hand again, and the two Mewtwo understood, controlling Dragon Island to slowly descend back into place.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of all the Pokémon on the Island, which had been hanging in their chests, finally settled. They were truly afraid that the two powerful Pokémon would shatter Dragon Island in anger, leaving them homeless.
Hydreigon looked at Dragonite with a complex expression, then looked at Bai Feng, feeling an unspeakable discomfort in its heart.
Dragon Island returned to its original position. Da Meng and Er Meng flew back to Bai Feng's side and were sent into the Distortion Space to rest. Diancie also went with them.
"Let's go, Dragonite. Didn't you want to see the Dragon Tomb?" Bai Feng called out to Dragonite.
"Dra~~" Coming!
Led by Dragonite, Bai Feng swaggered towards the direction of the Dragon Tomb. Now, no one dared to jump out and shout things like "He's a Human, he's not allowed to stay on Dragon Island."
The Dragon Tomb on Dragon Island is on the other side of the Island. There is a Cliff here, with many Cave on either side of the Cliff. These Cave were dug out by the Pokémon on the Island, and each Cave buries one or several deceased Pokémon.
Dragonite's parents are also buried here.
Standing on the Cliff, letting the strong wind blow against its body, Dragonite quietly looked at the Cave below, seemingly recalling something.
All the Pokémon it was familiar with were buried here.
There were too many Cave here, and Dragonite couldn't distinguish which one buried whom.
Bai Feng asked, "Aren't you going down to take a look?"
Dragonite gently shook its head.
After about half an hour, Dragonite finally withdrew its gaze and said to Bai Feng, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to see the Forbidden Area? I'll take you!"
Hydreigon watched Bai Feng and Dragonite from not far away. When it learned they were going to the Forbidden Area, it couldn't help but say, "The Forbidden Area is very dangerous. It's better if you don't go!"
Although Hydreigon had never been to the Forbidden Area, the Elder of Dragon Island had warned them about it generation after generation.
Dragonite looked at Hydreigon and said faintly, "Back then, when you stole my food and I almost starved to death, I survived by hiding in the Forbidden Area and devouring the things inside. Compared to the Forbidden Area, I think you are more dangerous."
These words stirred Hydreigon's guilt. It immediately fell silent and watched Bai Feng and Dragonite fly towards the Forbidden Area.
The location of the Dragon Island Forbidden Area is on the edge of the Island, very close to the ocean.
When Bai Feng arrived there, he discovered that the so-called Forbidden Area on Dragon Island was actually a giant Meteorite Crater, with a black, smooth meteorite lying in the middle.
However, that meteorite had split open in the middle, like an eggshell cracking after a baby hatches.
The inside of the Meteorite Crater was full of sparkling crystal, emitting a strange radiance. Bai Feng suspected these crystal were caused by the high temperature generated when the meteorite fell. Even after countless years, the crystal still shone brightly.
The closer Bai Feng got to that meteorite, the more he could feel the clear aura of Dynamax Energy emanating from it.
Dragonite told Bai Feng that what it ate back then were fragments of the meteorite.
In fact, what Bai Feng didn't know was that the ancestors of Dragon Island listed this place as a Forbidden Area because whenever a Pokémon approached here, its size would become incredibly huge, causing extraordinary destruction to Dragon Island, and it would take a long time to return to normal size afterward.
It was clear that this phenomenon occurred because the meteorite released Dynamax Energy.
However, that problem no longer exists now, because the Dynamax Energy contained in the meteorite has been almost completely released and can no longer affect the surrounding environment.
Bai Feng thought to himself: This meteorite is definitely related to Eternatus!
That's right, according to legend, didn't Eternatus descend to the Pokémon World accompanied by a meteorite? Could this be that meteorite?
Very likely!
Bai Feng decided to take this meteorite back to show Eternatus.
He immediately put his plan into action. He summoned Da Meng and Er Meng from the Distortion Space again and, together with them, used Psychic to put the meteorite into the Distortion Space.
After collecting the meteorite, Bai Feng and Dragonite left the Forbidden Area together.
However, on the way back, they passed by an Apple Orchard.
Red and green apples hung on the branches, looking very appealing.
This Apple Orchard was home to many Applin, Flapple, and Appletun.
Since this was Dragon Island, it wasn't strange to find these Pokémon here, so Bai Feng didn't pay much attention at first and planned to leave with Dragonite.
But the Applin, Flapple, and Appletun in the Orchard seemed startled. As soon as they saw Bai Feng, they became panicked.
Well, that couldn't be helped, considering Bai Feng had almost ordered his Pokémon to flip over Dragon Island earlier!
Just then, five heads suddenly emerged from a giant golden apple, launching an attack on Bai Feng and the others.
Five beams of light shot out simultaneously, erupting with powerful power. Fortunately, Bai Feng and Dragonite reacted in time. Bai Feng used Summoning Circle to block three of them, while Dragonite used its fist to scatter the other two.
It was Random Light!
Bai Feng looked in surprise at the Pokémon with five snake heads. It twisted its body, baring its fangs and claws at Bai Feng.
It was the evolutionary form of Dipplin—Hydrapple, and it was Shiny.
A normal Hydrapple's apple underneath is red, but the one in front of Bai Feng was golden yellow.
Hydrapple, Grass type and Dragon type, the Apple Serpent Pokémon. Don't be fooled by the five heads sticking out of the apple; inside, it actually houses seven green snakes (or rather, worms). The front five show their heads, while the back two show their tails.
The Hydrapple in front of them glared fiercely at Bai Feng and Dragonite but didn't attack rashly again.
Bai Feng could actually see that it was very afraid of him and Dragonite, but to protect the weaker Applin, Flapple, and Appletun behind it, it didn't retreat a single step.
Truly brave!
Seeing it, Bai Feng thought of the Dipplin he had at Home.
For Dipplin to evolve into Hydrapple, it needs to learn the move Dragon Cheer as a prerequisite. Unfortunately, none of Bai Feng's Pokémon knew this move, which had delayed Dipplin's evolution.
Now, if this Hydrapple could teach Dipplin, wouldn't that mean it could evolve?
Thinking this, Bai Feng approached Hydrapple step by step.
"Hiss~~ Hiss~~~ Hiss hiss~~~"
Hydrapple's five heads bared their fangs and claws, trying to force Bai Feng back, but they were merely fierce in appearance but timid in heart. They were terrified of Bai Feng.
Bai Feng remained unmoved, approaching step by step with a normal expression.
"Roar~~~"
Finally, Hydrapple launched its signature move, Random Light, at Bai Feng again.
Random Light is a Dragon-type move with decent power. It also has a certain probability of doubling the move's power, and if this effect triggers, it becomes very terrifying.
With a roar, five golden beams of light shot towards Bai Feng simultaneously. But Bai Feng wasn't flustered. He calmly controlled the Summoning Circle to block them, redirecting Hydrapple's attack elsewhere.
Boom!!!
A roar sounded in the distance, and a fruit tree was blasted down.
Bai Feng smiled, "You can't hurt me. Just surrender obediently!"
Dragonite also cooperated with Bai Feng, glaring menacingly from the side.
Hydrapple put on a look of brave sacrifice and asked pitifully, "If I obey you, can you promise not to harm everyone?"
Hearing this, the Applin, Flapple, and Appletun in the Orchard wailed mournfully, their gaze full of anger towards Bai Feng and Dragonite.
"Roar~~~"
Dragonite roared angrily, and a Dragon Pulse shot out, shattering a boulder in the distance. The Applin, Flapple, and Appletun were instantly scared motionless.
Oh my god, is there anyone who can deal with this bully? Is there any justice left!
Bai Feng replied to Hydrapple, "As long as you are obedient, I promise not to harm them."
Hearing this, Hydrapple stuck out all five of its heads, flopped onto the Ground, and assumed a posture of letting him do as he pleased, saying, "Come on, feel free to do whatever you want with me!"
Bai Feng: ()???
Is there something wrong with this Hydrapple's brain? Do whatever one wants? Why does that sound so strange?
He activated the Summoning Circle, summoning his Dipplin from Home.
Dipplin, who appeared beside Bai Feng, was still a bit dazed. Bai Feng pointed at Hydrapple and said to it, "This is your evolutionary form, Hydrapple. As long as you follow it and learn the move Dragon Cheer, you can evolve."
Hearing this, Dipplin's eyes lit up.
And Hydrapple, who was sprawled on the Ground, finally understood Bai Feng's purpose for finding it.
So it was just to learn a move! It had thought... Fortunately! Fortunately!
"Come, come!" Bai Feng beckoned to Hydrapple and said, "Show me how you use Dragon Cheer!"
Hydrapple nodded obediently, not daring to resist. It had witnessed the terror of the Pokémon around this Human; Dragon Island had almost been flipped over.
After Bai Feng placed his hand on Hydrapple, Hydrapple used the move Dragon Cheer.
Hydrapple's five heads let out roars that rose and fell in pitch. Immediately, even Bai Feng felt encouraged. Every cell in his body was clamoring with eagerness, and at this moment, he had an impulse to grab anyone and give them a good beating.
Dragon Cheer is a support move that can increase the critical hit rate of allies other than the user, and its effect is particularly significant for Dragon-type Pokémon.
Bai Feng used his Golden Finger to observe the energy circulation route when Hydrapple used the move.
However, as soon as Bai Feng's Golden Finger energy entered Hydrapple's Inside the body, Hydrapple seemed to be stimulated. Its five snake bodies went limp and drooped onto the Ground.
"Hey, hey~~ What's wrong with you? You're too useless. Do it again!" Bai Feng nudged Hydrapple.
"You... you used poison on me!" Hydrapple cried out mournfully.
"Are you crazy? Who used poison on you? Get up!" Bai Feng said.
Due to Bai Feng's deterrence, Hydrapple didn't dare to remain sprawled. It wobbled and climbed back up. It was also because Hydrapple was inexperienced and misinterpreted the feeling of "pleasure" as being poisoned.
Under Bai Feng's command, Hydrapple used Dragon Cheer fifteen times in a row, finally unable to use it even once more, panting and lying on the Ground.
It was partly due to exhaustion and partly due to the pleasure.
Although the feeling of being "poisoned" made it somewhat unable to stop even if it wanted to, it truly couldn't continue.
Fortunately, Bai Feng had by this time almost mastered the method of operating this move, so he looked at the Hydrapple lying on the Ground and said, "Alright, the learning stops here. Go back and rest yourself."
Hydrapple couldn't move at all at this moment. It lay there motionless. If its body weren't still trembling, others might have thought it was gone!
Bai Feng walked up to Dipplin, placed his hand on its body, and said, "I'll control the energy to circulate Inside the body. Feel it carefully!"
Dipplin nodded repeatedly, feeling a pleasant surprise in its heart. It didn't expect extra rejuvenation.
As Bai Feng simulated the operation method of Dragon Cheer over and over again, Dipplin finally indicated that it had learned.
"Learned it? Then give it a try," Bai Feng said with a smile to Dipplin.
Dipplin nodded confidently, and then emitted intermittent cries from its mouth.
"Hoho~ oh~ Hoho~ oh~"
So, Dipplin's incredibly strange cries echoed through the Orchard. Even Hydrapple couldn't help but climb up from the Ground.
You call this Dragon Cheer? Then go cheer up others, don't cheer me up!
However, at this moment, a brilliant radiance burst forth from Dipplin's body.
How is that possible?
Hydrapple was stunned. It could evolve like this?
Dipplin's light of evolution was the most brilliant and dazzling it had ever seen.
Within the white light, Dipplin's size continuously increased. Originally, it was only half a meter tall, but now it was almost as tall as Bai Feng, who was 1.9 meters.
When the light dissipated, another Hydrapple appeared before Bai Feng. However, the one on Dragon Island was Shiny, while Bai Feng's own was in its normal form.
That bright red apple looked very appetizing.
But if you looked closely, you would notice that the red apple underneath Bai Feng's Hydrapple was truly rosy and lustrous, like it had been waxed, emitting a sweet smell.
In comparison, the color of the one on Dragon Island was much duller.
This is the difference between a wild Pokémon and a carefully cultivated Pokémon.
Bai Feng congratulated his Hydrapple with a face full of smiles, "Hydrapple, congratulations on finally evolving!"
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 394: The Sudden Dynamax
"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~~~"
Hydrapple's five exposed heads twisted excitedly, expressing their joy to Bai Feng.
"Alright, Hydrapple, go Home first. Go back and tell Hatterene and the others that we'll be back soon too," Bai Feng said to Hydrapple.
"Hiss~ Hiss~~" Got it, got it!
Hydrapple's heads said one after another, vying to be heard.
Bai Feng shook his head helplessly. Their situation was comparable to Dodrio's. Fortunately, they only resided in an apple, unlike Dodrio sharing a single body, otherwise, they would surely argue endlessly.
Opening the Summoning Circle, Bai Feng teleported Hydrapple Home. Then, he continued flying forward with Dragonite. They just needed to pick up Lapras from the Seaside and they could teleport directly Home.
Seeing that Dragonite seemed to be leaving Dragon Island, Hydreigon flew up and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Dragonite nodded.
Hydreigon looked sad. "You can't stay with me? We can protect Dragon Island together!"
Dragonite pondered for a moment. It glanced at Bai Feng beside it and finally shook its head.
If it were before, it would definitely have stayed on Dragon Island, but things were different now. It was more willing to help Bai Feng protect Fangxing Mountain.
"Why?" Hydreigon was puzzled. "This is your homeland, your Home!"
"No!" Dragonite shook its head. "This has never been my Home, not before, and not now." It could have been.
When it had no place to belong, Dragon Island did not offer it shelter, and now it no longer needed it.
Hearing Dragonite's answer, Hydreigon was filled with regret. If it could go back in time, it would definitely not bully Dragonite.
With its former companions passing away one by one, Dragonite, its only old acquaintance, became increasingly cherished.
"Are you really not staying?" Hydreigon asked, unwilling to give up.
"No," Dragonite shook its head.
"Then... take care." Hydreigon finally gave up trying to persuade it and watched Dragonite and Bai Feng leave.
On the way back to the Seaside, Bai Feng hesitated for a moment before saying to Dragonite, "You really don't want to stay on Dragon Island?"
Dragonite shook its head decisively. "Of course not. Didn't we already make a promise? You cure my illness, and I help you protect Fangxing Mountain."
Bai Feng thought for a moment and then said, "If you refused Hydreigon because of your promise with me, I can consider the promise invalid."
Dragonite said helplessly, "I truly never thought of staying here. I've been wandering outside for hundreds of years. How long did I even live on Dragon Island back then? Just being able to come back and see is enough."
"Alright!" Bai Feng spread his hands. "Of course, I'm very happy you can stay by my side."
Just like that, the human and the Dragon flew happily to the Seaside.
Seeing Bai Feng return, the Lapras surrounded him at once.
Bai Feng said to the Lapras couple, "We're leaving now. You two take care as well."
The Lapras couple nodded, looked at their child reluctantly, and then raised their heads and let out a long cry.
"Woo~~~"
Seeing this, the other Lapras also raised their necks and sang.
"Woo~~~"
This was a farewell song.
"Woo~~~"
Bai Feng's Lapras also began to chant along.
Bai Feng opened the Summoning Circle and flew in first with Dragonite. Lapras looked at its parents with reluctance, then leaped up and jumped into the Ring, disappearing.
Hydreigon flying in Mid-air and the Lapras floating on the sea watched the spot where the Ring disappeared for a long time.
"Roar~~~"
Hydreigon roared, turned, and flew into the depths of Dragon Island, disappearing.
"Woo~~~"
The Lapras Leader let out a long cry and led the Tribe to continue migrating along the ocean current.
Bai Feng did not go Home immediately after passing through the Summoning Circle. Instead, he came to Giga Eden to see Eternatus again.
Seeing Bai Feng again, Eternatus was naturally very happy. After Bai Feng chatted with it for a few minutes, he took out the meteorite he had brought back from Dragon Island.
"Eternatus, look, do you recognize this meteorite?"
Eternatus stared at the meteorite for a long time, finally its eyes lit up. "I remember now, I came here following this stone! But I separated from this meteorite halfway through my descent, that's why I forgot about it!"
As expected! Bai Feng knew his guess was correct.
"Then is this meteorite still useful to you?"
"Useful, useful!" Eternatus said.
As Eternatus's words fell, its entire body suddenly erupted with streaks of purple light, illuminating its bone-like body until it was translucent.
Then Bai Feng saw many purple light particles of varying shades floating out from the meteorite, drifting towards Eternatus like fireflies, and then being absorbed into Eternatus's body.
After absorbing the purple light particles, Eternatus's body became even more radiant.
Just then, a machine deep within Giga Eden sounded an alarm. The Staff Members immediately began to busy themselves.
Bai Feng grabbed a Staff Member who was passing by and asked, "What's going on?"
The Staff Member replied, "Eternatus's efficiency in releasing energy suddenly increased. One storage capsule is already full."
"Are there any problems?" Bai Feng continued to ask.
"No problems, Mister Bai Feng, don't worry. We just need to release the capacity of the storage capsule," the Staff Member replied with a smile.
"That's good!" Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, the energy in the meteorite was completely absorbed by Eternatus, and the entire meteorite turned into grayish-white powder.
"Ang~~~"
Eternatus roared towards the sky, then happily flipped over in the air.
Just then, Bai Feng suddenly noticed something faintly sparkling in the pile of powder scattered from the meteorite.
Bai Feng pushed aside the powder and saw a purple sphere revealed inside. He looked surprised.
"This is... an Eternatus Core?"
At this moment, Eternatus also came closer.
"It really is!"
Bai Feng hadn't expected that another Eternatus Core was actually nurtured inside this meteorite.
Perhaps this meteorite might have originally nurtured a second Eternatus, but perhaps due to some accident, it only managed to nurture a Core.
Bai Feng picked up the Core. It was dim and lusterless; the originally purple Core was almost turning black.
Bai Feng thought to himself, could he go Home and replace the artificial fake Core he had there with this real one?
Thinking this, Bai Feng held up the Core and asked, "Eternatus, can I take this with me?"
Eternatus nodded. "Of course, you brought it back, so it naturally belongs to you!" It didn't need a second Core.
The Core was Eternatus's most important thing, and also the vessel of its consciousness. If it were to install another Core, would it still be itself?
"Then I'll head back today. I'll come see you again when I have time!" Bai Feng said to Eternatus.
"Okay!" Eternatus nodded.
After returning Home, Bai Feng let the Pokémon out to move around on their own. He took a bath and then had a good night's sleep.
He had been traveling outside for several days. Although he hadn't done much, the feeling of fatigue instantly surged when he returned Home.
After waking up, Bai Feng felt refreshed. He then took the Core and went to find Pseudo-Eternatus.
Pseudo-Eternatus was leisurely flying around in the air above Fangxing Mountain.
"Hey!!!"
Bai Feng waved vigorously at it (them). Pseudo-Eternatus, which was swaying, slowly turned to look. Bai Feng then shouted, "To the Space Disk!"
The Unown within Eternatus's body controlled Eternatus's body to make a nodding motion, then slowly flew towards the direction of the Space Disk.
Bai Feng also used Psychic to control himself and fly towards the direction of the Space Disk.
Today, Clefairy and Clefable were not in the Space Disk; they must have gone out to play. So the Space Disk was empty. When Bai Feng arrived, there was only Pseudo-Eternatus there.
Bai Feng flew to Pseudo-Eternatus's side, held up the newly obtained Core, and said to it, "Take out your Core and try replacing it with this one."
Pseudo-Eternatus nodded, opened its chest bones, and controlled the artificial Core to fly towards Bai Feng.
Bai Feng took the artificial Core and was about to hand over the other Core when a sudden change occurred.
The real Core in his hand suddenly flew out and directly collided with the fake Core. The fake Core stored a large amount of Dynamax energy, which now rapidly poured into the real Core.
In just a few seconds, the fake Core, which had been emitting red light, completely dimmed, while the real Core emitted brilliant radiance all over.
Whoosh!
The real Core turned into a streaking light and drilled into Eternatus's body. Then the body also began to burst with brilliant radiance. Its bone-like structure became like crystal.
Suddenly, screams rang out. The Unown that were originally attached to Eternatus's body were actually forced out.
The Unown were all introverts. Without anything to possess, they became very flustered, flying around wildly in the air in anxiety.
"Roar~~~"
At this moment, Eternatus's body actually let out a roar.
Bai Feng: ()???
The Unown controlling the body had come out, so why was the body still moving and roaring? Did that Core still have consciousness?
But before Bai Feng could figure it out, streaks of Dynamax Beam erupted from Eternatus's body. Under Bai Feng's surprised gaze, Eternatus's size began to rapidly increase.
Eternatus transformed into its Eternamax form.
Eternatus's enlarged form is not called Dynamax or Gigantamax, but Eternamax. It is formed when it absorbs energy and becomes overloaded.
As streaks of light pillars shot out, the entire Fangxing Mountain was affected.
A Corviknight that was on patrol was hit by a Dynamax Beam and immediately underwent Gigantamax the next second.
Its sudden increase in size made it somewhat at a loss. Fortunately, Deoxys was nearby and quickly comforted it, "Be good, don't move, it's okay!"
Naturally, Corviknight wasn't the only one affected.
Mismagius, Gengar, and Chandelure were playing hide-and-seek in the forest when they were suddenly swept by a Dynamax Beam and then Dynamaxed.
However, Mismagius was very sensible. It knew that if it moved around after Dynamaxing, it could cause great damage to the surrounding environment, so it stayed obediently in the Original spot without moving an inch.
There was also Baodao Panda's younger brother, who was practicing with Xiong Da, Xiong Er, and their brothers and sisters. He was suddenly hit by a Dynamax Beam and then turned into a "Giant".
And there were Tinkaton, Machamp, Trevenant, Eldegoss, and so on.
Too many Pokémon suddenly Dynamaxed and Gigantamaxed, and the entire Fangxing Mountain was almost in chaos.
Originally, Bai Ye and Da Meng were also almost swept by the Dynamax Beam, but fortunately, they reacted quickly and dodged in time.
After discovering the anomaly on the Mountain, Bai Ye, Da Meng, Er Meng, and other Psychic-type Pokémon quickly ran Home, retrieved Poké Balls, and recalled the Pokémon that were swept by the Dynamax Beam one by one. This solved the problem.
And Bai Feng was still in the Space Disk, staring wide-eyed at Eternatus.
After Eternamaxing, Eternatus just quietly levitated in Mid-air, completely motionless. The red light emanating from its body illuminated the entire Space Disk brightly.
Bai Feng tried to call out to Eternatus, but received no response. It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
The Unown also tried to reattach themselves to Eternatus's body, but unfortunately, they were repelled by the body and failed.
Seeing that Eternatus remained motionless, Bai Feng had no choice but to leave the Summoning Circle with the Unown.
The commotion outside had already subsided. Fortunately, Da Meng and the others were there, otherwise, with so many Dynamaxed and Gigantamaxed Pokémon appearing at the same time, they would have been seen by the outside world long ago.
Back Home, Bai Feng comforted the Unown and let them attach themselves anywhere in the House. Only then did the Unown gradually calm down.
At this moment, he remembered that Sinistea and Gimmighoul were still in the Distortion Space, so he quickly released them.
"Sinistea, Gimmighoul, this is my Home. Welcome."
Sinistea almost immediately spotted the Polteageist disguised as a teapot on the table. So it swayed out and landed next to Polteageist, sticking tightly to it.
Polteageist felt very unable to adapt. It silently lifted its lid and extended a small hand to push Sinistea away.
Sinistea was pushed and rolled around on the table, then floated back again, landing steadily next to Polteageist and continuing to stick tightly to Polteageist.
Polteageist pushed several times in a row but couldn't do anything about Sinistea. It simply decided to ignore it and continued to sit there quietly pretending to be a decoration.
As for Gimmighoul, it found a corner in the House at random and quietly nestled there.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Bai Feng went to the Space Disk every day to see the Eternamaxed Eternatus, but unfortunately, it showed no reaction, still maintaining its Eternamax form, quietly levitating in the air.
One day, Bai Feng unexpectedly discovered that Eternatus was actually using Cosmic Power to absorb energy from Space by itself.
Was it severely lacking energy? What would happen if he supplied it with enough energy?
Originally, Bai Feng had planned not to let Clefairy, Clefable, and Minior use Cosmic Power to charge it until he figured out Eternatus's situation.
Now, he changed his idea.
Thinking this, Bai Feng summoned Clefairy, Clefable, Minior, and other Pokémon, and had them all use Cosmic Power together to continuously replenish energy for the Eternatus Core.
Otherwise, relying solely on itself, how much energy could it absorb?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 395: Two Years
Time passed day by day. Eternatus remained in its Eternamax state, with no other movement at all.
So, in the time that followed, besides regularly having Clefairy, Clefable, and Minior supply energy to Eternatus, Bai Feng didn't pay much attention to it anymore.
As for the homeless Unown, they started hanging out with Deoxys.
Fangxing Mountain contains many secrets. In the past, Da Meng generally used Psychic to create a barrier to cover the situation on the Mountain.
Later, Deoxys came, and Da Meng was busy helping in the Laboratory, so this work was transferred to Deoxys.
Actually, compared to Da Meng, Deoxys is more suitable for this work.
Now the Unown are all following Deoxys and helping out.
Although the Unown's individual strength is quite weak, gathering together will produce incredible power. One of these is distorting and creating Space.
Using this power, and cooperating with Deoxys's Psychic, immediately outside Fangxing Mountain, except for areas where roads were specifically built, were all covered with large and small distorted Space. Ordinary people simply couldn't sneak in.
Almost every day, people would come to visit Fangxing Mountain out of curiosity, but at most, they could only wander around the Mountain base. After discovering they couldn't get in no matter what, they would naturally and silently leave.
But everything has exceptions.
Time passed in the blink of an eye, two years.
On this day, a young boy came from outside Fangxing Mountain. Hmm... probably a young boy.
He was originally just passing by Biyi City with his traveling companion. Later, he heard people say that the strongest Trainer in the League lived in Biyi City. Out of curiosity, he came along.
In discovering there was no way to enter Fangxing Mountain, the others left one after another.
Originally, he also planned to leave, but unexpectedly, his Chespin triggered something he didn't know, and it actually disappeared before his eyes. This really scared him.
But he tried every method and just couldn't find a way to enter the Mountain.
As for Chespin, it fell into the distorted Space created by the Unown. The Space here is small, yet extends in all directions, like a Maze. It couldn't find a way out at all.
So Chespin wandered around inside, almost crying from anxiety, and still couldn't find the exit Passage.
Losing Chespin, the young boy was extremely anxious. Seeing that the sun was about to set, he could only sit at the Mountain base wiping away tears.
Just then, a car drove towards here. It looked like it was going into the Mountain. The young boy was like someone grasping a life-saving straw. He quickly got up, ran to the roadside, and waved at the car.
"Stop! Stop!"
Hearing someone call out, the car indeed stopped. The car window opened, and Dongyu's head poked out from inside.
"Little Brother, what is it?" Dongyu asked.
Because he was too worried about Chespin, the young boy didn't pay attention to Dongyu's address to him. He said in a crying voice, "My Pokémon is lost."
Dongyu was confused. "If your Pokémon is lost, you should go find Officer Jenny."
The young boy pointed at Fangxing Mountain and said, "My Pokémon got lost on the Mountain. Are you going in? Can you take me in with you?"
Dongyu was startled upon hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, get in the car. I'll take you to find it."
"Thank you! Thank you, Big Brother!" the young boy said excitedly.
"Come up quickly," Dongyu smiled.
Upon hearing this, the young boy quickly got into the car.
The car slowly drove up the Mountain along the road, successfully entering the Mountain. It didn't just circle around in Original spot like other visitors.
The driver was Dongyu's assistant. Dongyu sat in the back. Today, he came to the Mountain to give Bai Feng the quarterly Berry sales report.
Looking at the young boy next to him, Dongyu asked with a smile, "Are you also here to challenge the strongest Trainer in the League?"
The young boy nodded and whispered, "I saw they all came, so I came along."
Dongyu shook his head helplessly. "What's your name?"
The young boy replied, "My name is Mairin."
"Mairin, ah~~" Dongyu said, "You just became a Trainer, right?"
"Yeah!" Mairin nodded vigorously.
"Are you traveling outside alone?" Dongyu asked again.
"Oh dear~~~" After Dongyu reminded her like this, Mairin seemed to remember something. "I forgot Alain at the Pokémon Center!"
Thinking like this, Mairin was about to cry again.
Dongyu laughed, "What's the big deal? After finding your Pokémon, can't you just hurry back? You're a real man, how can you cry over such a small matter?"
"What real man? I'm a girl!"
So Mairin wasn't a boy at all, just a girl dressed somewhat boyishly.
"You're a girl?" Dongyu was startled, then laughed. "Sorry, you're dressed too much like a boy."
Mairin pouted and said, "I forgive you."
Soon the car arrived at the Mountain top. Mairin was very curious the whole way, leaning against the car window, looking left and right.
She asked curiously, "Does the strongest Trainer in the League really live here? It's so beautiful here, like a Paradise."
"Of course," Dongyu said. "Isn't that why you came along?"
Mairin scratched her head sheepishly. "I just came to join the fun, I didn't even understand what was going on."
Dongyu was amused by Mairin.
Soon the car stopped in front of Bai Feng's Yard.
"Get out of the car, we're here!" Dongyu was the first to push open the car door and say.
"Oh oh oh~~~" Mairin quickly followed and got out of the car.
At this time, Bai Feng was returning from the Orchard wearing a straw hat. Seeing Brother Dong Yu, he happily shouted, "Brother Dong Yu, you're here!"
Soon he noticed Mairin next to Brother Dong Yu, so he asked doubtfully, "This kid is..."
Brother Dong Yu burst out laughing. "She's a little girl!"
Bai Feng upon hearing this, quickly apologized to Mairin. "Ah? Sorry, sorry, I saw wrong."
Mairin, blushing, gently shook her head. At the same time, she couldn't help but think to herself: Could this be the strongest Trainer in the League? He's too young.
Dongyu then introduced, "Her name is Mairin. Her Pokémon accidentally got lost on the Mountain, so I brought her up to look."
Bai Feng suddenly realized. "So that's what it is. Leave it to me. What Pokémon was lost?"
Mairin answered softly, "It's Hali-kun~ ah, no, it's Chespin." Hali-kun is Mairin's affectionate name for her Chespin.
"Okay, I understand." Saying this, Bai Feng shouted towards the Sky, "Unown, there's a Chespin lost on the Mountain. Please help look for it!"
The Space in the Sky suddenly twisted. A group of text of various shapes appeared. After chirping and gurgling for a while, they suddenly disappeared again.
Mairin, looking at those Pokémon that suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, was stunned.
Bai Feng, seeing this, said to Mairin, "Leave the matter of searching for Chespin to the Unown. There should be results soon. Let's go inside the House and wait."
Saying this, Bai Feng led Mairin and Dongyu and that secretary into the House together.
After entering the House, Audino warmly welcomed Mairin, serving her drinks and snacks and pastries. Meanwhile, Dongyu and the secretary were on the side giving Bai Feng the quarterly Berry sales report.
At the same time, another young boy came to the Fangxing Mountain base. He was a bit older than Mairin. This person was precisely Alain, who was currently traveling with Mairin.
Alain was originally Professor Sycamore's assistant. He is now traveling around to help the Professor collect Mega Evolution information. He accidentally met Mairin, who had just become a Trainer. Under Mairin's persistent pestering, he only then started traveling with Mairin.
Today, he waited for Mairin at the Pokémon Center for a long time but didn't see her return. Only then did he come out to search. After some inquiries, he finally learned that Mairin came to Fangxing Mountain.
Actually, Alain and Bai Feng know each other. After all, Bai Feng is very familiar with Professor Sycamore. It's just that the two didn't interact much, so they aren't considered familiar.
Alain wandered around at the Mountain base for a while, but couldn't find a way up the Mountain at all.
After thinking for a while, he sent out Charizard. Pointing at a spot in the Sky, he said to Charizard, "Charizard, use Flamethrower!"
"Woo-oh~~~"
Charizard nodded, flapped its wings, and flew into the air. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of flames towards the direction Alain was pointing.
The flames impacted that spot, rippling out circles of transparent waves. This was clearly not normal.
Just then, the patrolling Talonflame Captain happened to see this scene. It thought it was an intruder, so it swooped down from the Sky. Using its massive body and sharp claws, it instantly pinned Charizard to the Ground.
"Roar~ Roar roar~~~"
Charizard wanted to struggle, but facing the Talonflame Captain, it had almost no power to resist and was firmly pinned to the Ground.
Seeing this scene, Alain was about to activate Mega Evolution to contend with the Talonflame Captain, but saw the Talonflame Captain let out a long cry towards the Sky. Immediately after, a Corviknight descended from the Sky and directly pinned Alain to the Ground as well.
Come to Fangxing Mountain to cause trouble? How dare you.
After the Talonflame Captain shouted, it grabbed Charizard and flew into the Sky. Corviknight, grabbing Alain, followed closely behind.
Alain was stunned. What happened? Where am I? Why did it turn out like this?
Bai Feng here had just finished listening to the report when he saw symbols suddenly flash in the House. It was precisely the Unown.
As the Space twisted, a Chespin was thrown out. Tears were still on its face.
"Hali-kun!" Seeing Chespin, Mairin excitedly pounced over.
"Chespin~ Chespin~" Chespin was also very excited to see Mairin and immediately darted into Mairin's arms.
Heaven knows how scared it was while wandering around in the distorted Space. What if it couldn't get out? What if it could never see Mairin again? What if it got hungry?
After Chespin calmed down, Dongyu said to Mairin, "Since Chespin has been found, then hurry down the Mountain. Your friend must be waiting anxiously. I happen to be going back too, I can give you a ride."
"Okay, thank you, Mister Dong Yu." Mairin said gratefully.
"I'll see you off too!" Bai Feng stood up and said.
Bai Feng had just seen Dongyu and the others off to the Yard Entrance when he saw the Talonflame Captain and Corviknight descend from the Sky, throwing Alain and his Charizard aside.
"Alain?" Mairin exclaimed.
Bai Feng also recognized Alain. "Alain?"
"Cough cough cough~~~" Alain ate a mouthful of dirt, climbed up from the Ground, and coughed violently. "Bai... Mister Bai Feng... Mairin."
"Alain, why are you here?" Mairin asked.
"What do you think?" Alain said speechlessly.
"So you came to find me!" Mairin scratched her head sheepishly.
At this time, the Talonflame Captain and Corviknight were complaining to Bai Feng. Bai Feng said helplessly, "It should be a misunderstanding. This is someone I know."
"Caw?"
The Talonflame Captain and Corviknight were both stunned.
Finally, under Bai Feng's explanation, the Talonflame Captain and Corviknight apologized to Alain.
Alain said sheepishly, "It's okay. I was also wrong. I shouldn't have let Charizard attack."
Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, it's fine if we clear it up."
"Alain, let's go back," Mairin said happily.
However, Alain shook his head. He glanced at the Talonflame and Corviknight that had already flown into the Sky, then looked at Bai Feng and said,
"Mister Bai Feng, I have a request."
Bai Feng was slightly startled. "Speak."
"Please have a battle with me," Alain said solemnly.
Although he embarked on his journey because he was assisting Professor Sycamore with Mega Evolution Research, he also yearns for the strong and desires to battle with the strong.
Bai Feng hadn't spoken yet when Mairin said to him in a low voice, "Alain, you're so sudden, it's too presumptuous. The person opposite is the strongest Trainer in the League!"
Bai Feng didn't feel it was presumptuous. Trainers are all like this.
"Okay then, let's have a match."
"Thank you, Mister Bai Feng," Alain said gratefully.
Actually, he knew that after Bai Feng became the strongest Trainer in the League, he rarely appeared in front of people and hardly ever accepted challenges from others. He was just worried about being rejected.
Bai Feng looked at Mairin and said, "Then will Alain and I take up a little of your time?"
Mairin nodded. "Okay... okay."
"Since that's the case, then come with me," Bai Feng said. He also asked Brother Dong Yu a question, "Brother Dong Yu, do you want to go take a look together? And also Xiao Hai?"
Xiao Hai is that assistant of Brother Dong Yu.
Brother Dong Yu, hearing this, joked, "Of course I have to go see. The strongest Trainer in the League's battle is not easy to see." Actually, he and Bai Feng's Pokémon are incredibly familiar, and he doesn't know how many times he's watched their battles.
"Okay then, let's go together."
Just as Bai Feng waved his hand, Alain, Mairin, and the others flew up uncontrollably.
Because there was the mysterious slate assisting with meditation, Bai Feng's Psychic is now extremely powerful.
Before long, they landed on the Fangxing Mountain Battlefield.
Mairin, holding Chespin in one hand and patting her chest with the other, still felt lingering fear. Suddenly flying up just now almost scared her to death.
"Let's begin."
After the two stood ready on both sides of the Battlefield, Bai Feng took out a Poké Ball and said to Alain.
Alain nodded, patted the Charizard next to him, and said, "Charizard, I'll be relying on you."
"Roar~~~"
After letting out a cry, Charizard flew and landed on the Battlefield.
Bai Feng, seeing this, threw out the Poké Ball. With a flash of red light, a Braixen appeared opposite the Charizard.
In two years, Fennekin had long since evolved into Braixen, and now is also completely capable of evolving into Delphox.
As the Golden Finger continuously improved, Bai Feng lighting up a Pokémon's Hidden Energy Circuits is now much faster than before.
As long as the evolution is successful, Bai Feng can give it that Crystal left by Zhi Huo.
Looking at the Braixen opposite him, Alain couldn't help but frown. Use a Braixen that hasn't evolved to its final stage to battle Charizard?
Even if Bai Feng is the strongest Trainer in the League, he still felt he was being underestimated.
