"Of course I know that!"
"Besides, he's a deity-level Pokémon, so he won't get hurt. But what about you?"
"What if you got injured?"
Although his tone was harsh, it also contained genuine concern.
It was just that Roy found it difficult to express his thoughts directly.
After all, Solgaleo had only just merged with the light and wasn't yet proficient at controlling his own power.
If Solgaleo had panicked just now, the force he exerted on Lucario could have completely crushed him.
The power of a deity could not be underestimated!
When Lucario heard Roy say this—being the partner who had been with Roy the longest—he naturally understood what Roy was worried about, and his heart warmed slightly, though he also felt very regretful.
"Rio..."
I was wrong. I definitely won't do this again next time...
Hearing Lucario's rare admission of fault, Roy couldn't help but soften.
The tension between his brows also faded slightly, and his tone became gentler.
"I was wrong too. I shouldn't have been so strict."
"I was a bit too anxious."
After a brief moment of tension between the one human and two Pokémon, things had returned to normal.
Tapu Lele watched Roy as an observer and could feel that this human truly loved his Pokémon deeply.
Whether they were as strong as Solgaleo or as weak as Cosmog.
What's more, the example of little Cosmog naturally served as good proof of this point.
For a moment, Tapu Lele suddenly felt a bit envious of Mimikyu.
"Since Solgaleo is here too, I can finally explain my reason for coming."
Roy took out the Beast Ball containing Lunala once again.
"Lunala is inside this."
Even though Tapu Lele had already guessed most of it, now that Roy confirmed it himself, she was naturally even more excited.
Roy's eyes were filled with sincerity as he continued speaking to Tapu Lele.
"What I'm asking of you this time is to help heal Lunala's wounds."
Tapu Lele pointed to herself in surprise.
"Lele?"
Me? Can I heal a deity's wounds?
The usually confident Tapu Lele's eyes also showed rare confusion.
She clearly thought this was completely impossible.
Roy also understood there was a significant gap between the guardian deities and the legendary deities.
But Roy also understood it was impossible to heal all of Lunala's injuries at once.
Lunala's injuries, especially the inner distortion, could only be healed with Solgaleo's help and her own powerful recovery ability as a deity-level Pokémon.
"I know this will be very energy-consuming for you."
"But Lunala is in a critical condition right now."
"Don't worry, I have some items made with human technology here that can quickly restore your energy."
Roy also understood what Tapu Lele was worried about.
It was very possible that even if Tapu Lele exhausted all the energy in her body, it wouldn't be enough for a deity-level Pokémon.
"It's okay. I can understand if you refuse."
"Lele!"
Tapu Lele stretched out one hand and placed it on her chest, encouraging herself.
Ollie!
Seeing such an energetic and fearless Tapu Lele, Roy couldn't help but smile.
Roy gently stroked Tapu Lele's head.
"Then thank you for your hard work!"
Tapu Lele squinted her eyes, looking very comfortable as she nuzzled her head against Roy's palm.
"Lele!"
I would try even if you didn't ask me to!
After all, that's Alola's deity, and of course... her deity!
Roy held the Beast Ball in one hand and five other Poké Balls in the other.
Looking toward Lucario and Solgaleo, he signaled that they were about to begin.
"Rio!"
"La!"
Both of them responded at the same time, indicating they were ready!
Roy first threw the five Poké Balls in his left hand, and light materialized on the ground.
It was the majority of Roy's Pokémon—Salamence, Mimikyu, Blastoise, Electivire, and Ninetales.
Together with Solgaleo and Lucario, the seven Pokémon naturally formed a circle with a large open space in the middle.
In the next second, starting from Roy himself, cyan-colored Aura power connected the Pokémon one by one.
First Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, then Blastoise...
Until the complete connection of this circle was successful. The Pokémon's strength hadn't increased significantly, but their coordination with each other became more synchronized, almost like a single entity.
Lucario also felt some changes at the moment he connected to Roy's Aura power.
Roy's Aura power has improved a bit...
I want to become stronger so I can keep up with Roy's pace!
Lucario's determination naturally influenced the other Pokémon in the circle as well.
Perhaps this was also a form of competition, but in such a positive atmosphere, this kind of rivalry could have positive effects.
It formed a cycle of positive energy.
Whether for Roy or the Pokémon themselves, it was entirely beneficial.
Standing in the circle closest to Solgaleo, Tapu Lele was shocked.
Good heavens, what kind of extraordinary team is this?
To be able to use Aura power to coordinate as a team was simply unprecedented!
At least, it was something Tapu Lele had never heard of in all her time.
The human world is truly fascinating.
After Roy released his Aura power, he also noticed Tapu Lele seemed a bit distracted.
So he called out loudly as a reminder.
"Pay attention! I'm about to start!"
This shout naturally served as a strong reminder to Tapu Lele, snapping her back to focus.
Tapu Lele clutched the small pouch labeled 'Max Revive' that Roy had just given her.
He had said this could quickly replenish a Pokémon's energy.
This was another thing Tapu Lele had never heard of before.
But seeing Solgaleo's staring eyes, Tapu Lele subconsciously protected her small pouch.
It seemed this must be something good.
Thinking this, Tapu Lele held the pouch in her hands even more tightly.
Roy noticed Solgaleo's behavior and kindly reminded Tapu Lele.
"This Max Revive has no effect on Pokémon at Solgaleo's level."
"Don't give it to him just because you feel bad for him."
Tapu Lele nodded, feeling that she was already quite tired from healing Trainers' Pokémon all day long.
So she opened her mouth and consumed the Max Revive that was offered to her.
