These inherited aura techniques sounded incredibly powerful!
Moreover, carrying out relevant training in the birthplace of these techniques would make the process far more effective and efficient.
The more Roy thought about it, the more excited he became. He wished he could immediately urge Tapu Koko to announce the continuation of the island challenge trials tomorrow.
He even forgot for a moment that there was a Psychic queen sitting beside him.
Caroline didn't feel offended in the slightest.
Sometimes she envied Roy's current enthusiasm and passion—emotions she had once possessed herself.
It took a while for Roy to react, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Sorry, I'm rambling to myself again."
Caroline shook her head and looked at the bright moon once more.
"It's fine."
Silence fell between them again. Just when Roy was about to stand up and bid Caroline farewell, she suddenly spoke.
"I'll be watching your progress, too."
"Do your best."
Before Roy could fully process this surprising statement, Caroline had already left the beach in a hurry.
Roy came back to his senses and pinched his arm hard.
"My goodness, the queen just encouraged me."
"Is she actually a Ditto in disguise?"
Lucario, who had been hiding behind a massive coconut tree, quietly emerged.
Behind him were Mimikyu, Ninetales, Blastoise, Salamence, and the other Pokémon.
The expressions on their faces were exactly the same—a mixture of surprise and amusement.
However, Ninetales' expression looked rather sour, and she didn't seem very happy about what had transpired.
Big Brother Lucario coughed twice to break the tension.
"It wasn't a dream."
Blastoise, no longer hiding behind the tree sheepishly, now jumped out with a huge coconut leaf in each hand, performing a strange dance.
Twisting his rear end and shaking his large shell rhythmically.
It made even Ninetales laugh despite herself.
The cold sea breeze blew past, yet it made Roy feel an inexplicable sense of warmth.
Well, there must be something wrong with my perception.
Get a good night's sleep—tomorrow will be another wonderful day!
At that moment, Solgaleo also walked toward Roy from a short distance away.
"Leo!"
Everything's settled. Let's head back.
Roy touched the lion's head in pleasant surprise upon hearing Solgaleo's announcement.
"Alright, let's go back and rest."
Salamence spread his wings voluntarily and, following Solgaleo, flew freely through the night sky.
He hadn't felt such a comfortable night sky in quite some time.
The air in Alola seemed fresher—perhaps due to the return of the two legendary Pokémon, even the atmosphere had become cleaner.
If Roy knew what Salamence was thinking, he would have offered a weak correction.
The fresh air was likely due to the rainstorm summoned by the Forces of Nature in their Therian Forms, which was why it smelled fresher now than before.
In a few days, Alola's air quality should return to its normal state.
And their special training in Alola would also begin in earnest.
Solgaleo didn't wait for the other Pokémon because they all said they wanted to play for a while longer.
Roy suspected they were actually planning to spy on Lunala.
Although Lunala's external injuries were slightly improved now, her overall strength was definitely inferior to Solgaleo's.
And Solgaleo had made some kind of agreement with Lunala.
Now Lunala had also decided to temporarily remain in the Alola region and carry out her daily duties alongside Solgaleo.
Roy speculated this might be because Lunala hadn't recovered to her peak condition yet and was no match for Solgaleo—the result of "mandatory volunteering."
Well, regardless, now that the most difficult step had been taken, he wasn't afraid of what lay ahead on this path.
Thinking this way, Roy jumped off Salamence's back as Solgaleo's flight gradually slowed.
Both Solgaleo and Salamence found comfortable positions to rest.
However, they weren't far from Roy's tent.
Even though they were in a completely safe environment, Roy's safety had never been something they neglected.
Roy naturally accepted this kind of protective behavior.
So after saying goodnight to everyone, he entered his tent and fell into a sweet, peaceful sleep.
On the other hand, after their conversation, Lunala's demeanor was completely different from Solgaleo's relaxed state.
A storm raged in her eyes.
She hated everything and wanted to destroy all the Pokémon in this region.
But the voice in her heart was completely opposing these thoughts.
This kept Lunala trapped in deep emotional turmoil, unable to reconcile with herself.
This was also one of the reasons why she continued to sink deeper into the abyss of darkness.
The chains binding Lunala had already been removed by Solgaleo.
Now Lunala flapped her wings freely but found that she still couldn't summon her exhausted strength for the time being.
However, a legendary Pokémon's body would slowly replenish itself, like water trickling into a dry spring.
Recalling the promise Solgaleo had made with her...
It's only a few months. When I regain my strength and turn this place upside down, what can you possibly do to stop me?
This place will become the next Ultra Megalopolis!
Thinking this, a cruel smile appeared on Lunala's face.
Perhaps because this smile came completely from the heart, it appeared strangely vivid and beautiful.
So beautiful...
Lunala quickly moved toward the presence of life, silently gathering bits of energy in her claws.
Lunala frowned in frustration.
It's not enough—nowhere near enough!
Seeing that their location had been discovered, all the Pokémon stopped hiding.
Among them, Blastoise holding two large coconut leaves was particularly conspicuous.
After all, coconut leaves couldn't conceal anything at all!
Blastoise, in his simple-minded way, completely ignored the warning look from Big Brother Lucario.
He even waved the large leaves in his hands toward Lunala, quickly ran over, and stuffed them into Lunala's claws.
Then he rapidly retreated.
Originally, Lunala had been wary of Blastoise's approach. She recognized them as that human's Pokémon.
They all carried the same aura.
However, Blastoise's speed wasn't too slow, and with Lunala being injured, she didn't react in time and suddenly found herself holding coconut leaves.
What is this supposed to be?
Blastoise ran back to his companions and gave himself a thumbs up.
Flowers suit a beauty!
Amazing! My emotional intelligence is off the charts this time!
Lucario simply grabbed Blastoise without a word and hauled him away.
This was all because of this foolish turtle! He'd made their spying plan fail completely!
The Pokémon slipped away in embarrassment, following the ancient wisdom: if I leave quickly enough, I won't feel embarrassed!
