Chapter 444: Z-Move, Get!
The position of the new Wolf King eventually fell into the hands of Big Black.
And.
What made the wolves admire the most was.
Big Black didn't win the battle by relying on schemes and tricks, but defeated Big Tail in a head-on battle.
He won by using his move pool more flexibly in battle.
This let many young Mightyena see the shadow of Will's battles in the past.
Seeing this, Will couldn't help nodding.
This move by Big Black presumably won the loyalty of many young Mightyena.
As for those older Mightyena, actually it was about the same.
After all, Big Black defeated Big Tail fair and square, proving his own strength is the stronger one,
There's nothing to be unconvinced about.
"Then the Wolf Clan and Wolf Mountain will be entrusted to you to protect from now on, Big Black."
"Awooo~"
Hearing this, Big Black howled excitedly towards the sky.
"Awooo~" (xN)
The other Mightyena followed one after another to express support.
But it wasn't without problems.
Will could sense the Aura in the hearts of these Mightyena.
Big Tail still harbored a grudge against Big Black becoming King, might not submit to his governance in the future, competition inevitably breaking out again.
After Will and Wolf Mom discussed.
Decided to let Wolf Mom take Big Tail to live in Celestic Town; maybe Big Tail can meet a desired trainer there.
Presumably with Big Tail's loyalty, he wouldn't refuse this matter.
After that is whether the four tyrants of Wolf Mountain stay or leave.
Floatzel actually quite wanted to leave with Will, but knowing Will might also be traveling outside most of the time usually, he gave up this idea, choosing to stay in Wolf Mountain with other little partners.
Everything settled.
Will, Wolf Mom, Druddigon, and Victini.
The four Pokémon headed down the mountain.
On the way leaving, Wolf Mom frequently turned her head, obviously still somewhat uneasy.
Will had no way to comfort her either.
After all, it's a clan she brought from the outermost periphery all the way here; the effort and sweat put in were not fake.
It's just.
She is indeed already tired of life in Wolf Mountain.
Going from frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is hard.
Having experienced the colorfulness of human society, few Pokémon can calm down again; Wolf Mom has also started to get annoyed over the years.
Let alone she already has something more important than the clan—a child.
Sadness when leaving is inevitable.
When there's nothing to do later, just come over and see.
Anyway the distance from Celestic Town to Wolf Mountain is okay, not particularly far, at least not across regions.
Thus.
Will sat on Druddigon's head; Victini hugged Wolf Mom's neck like a little koala.
When they went down the mountain.
Professor Rowan and Cynthia had been waiting for a long time.
In these days.
Cynthia really learned the first part of the Azure Flute movement—the "Celestica Flute" part—left by the Celestic Clan in the past from the ancient books left by the Pearl Clan.
As for the middle and latter parts.
Will had never heard of their existence.
"Wolf Mom~"
Cynthia saw Wolf Mom bounding over happily and gave her a big hug.
Blonde-kun is now considered half a child of Wolf Mom.
Just like Will is now also half a child of Kaoru.
"Cynthia, did you bring Poké Balls?"
"Mm! Mom already transferred the balls over."
Cynthia nodded, taking out two Poké Balls.
One is Big Silly's.
The other is empty.
Druddigon's size is too big, impossible to ride in a car back with them.
And although Wolf Mom's size is much smaller than Big Silly, it's not something an ordinary car can hold, also has to enter a Poké Ball.
And, entering a Poké Ball is honestly very convenient.
Using the Poké Ball transfer device, Druddigon and Wolf Mom can arrive at Carolina's laboratory immediately.
Going home from there is incredibly close.
"Then let's set off."
With Will's words falling.
Life entered normalization.
Stayed in Celestic Town for another more than a month.
When coming to the League Year 185.
Cynthia, who couldn't sit still at home, finally pulled Will out of the door.
The destination is not challenging any League.
But the Alola region located in the tropics!
In this more than a month's time Cynthia did sufficient homework, thus generating strong interest in the Alola region with its Ultra Wormholes, Island Guardian Deities, and Z-Power!
Cynthia went as a transfer student.
Air-dropped into the Trainer's School located on Melemele Island in the Alola region.
Go to school during the day.
Adventure at night.
The plan was beautiful, reality was slightly different.
The Alola region is indeed a very good resort.
In the first month there, Cynthia was full of interest and vitality, running around on the road searching for Alolan specific Pokémon every day.
But as time went on she couldn't stand it a bit.
Because the school hours at the Trainer's School were relatively long; the time after school was not enough for Cynthia to go to other islands to explore to her heart's content.
Only when having holidays every weekend could they run a bit farther.
Coming to the Alola region.
Time flashed and more than half a year passed.
Cynthia completely didn't find any Ultra Wormholes.
But not entirely without harvest.
The Tapu family, guardian deities of the four islands, and the Totem Pokémon distributed on the four islands, they all saw.
Although only a glance from afar, without any intersection.
But Cynthia was already very satisfied and excited.
And Will is not interested in these few Second-Level Gods either.
The four Island Guardian Deities of the Alola region really don't have the appearance of Second-Level Gods.
Three out of four have a relatively high frequency of appearance, especially the electric-using Tapu Koko and the thief high-profile, loving to make huge noises Tapu Bulu; anyway not "Legendary" at all.
Emotions are also not very stable, but tentatively still within the understandable scope.
Base stats 570, lower than the second-level bottom layer like Legendary Beasts and Swords of Justice.
Various reasons.
Will had no interest in contacting them.
His attention was basically on the Fossil Restoration Center on the neighboring Akala Island.
Will once secretly flew over to see the situation inside when Cynthia was having class, indeed seeing many Fossil Pokémon.
This also confirmed his previous guess.
The fossil resurrection technology of this world is actually relatively mature, just hasn't been exposed to the public eye.
After sizing up those Fossil Pokémon a bit more, Will quietly left.
Fossils from ancient times are still being constantly excavated.
Maybe one day in the future.
Will can also see Fossil Pokémon that have never appeared in the anime.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed.
This half a year's time.
Will and Cynthia did nothing else, only went to research Z-Moves.
Blonde-kun, relying on her own Pokémon's overpowered combat power and rich theoretical knowledge accumulated in the past, achieved first place overall in the final exams, obtaining the reward of the Trainer's School—a Z-Ring.
At the same time, through grandmother Carolina's connections, and working hard to contribute, obtained a Z-Crystal from the local Pokémon Professor, Professor Oak's cousin Samson Oak.
Originally Cynthia wanted to choose the Fighting-Z corresponding to Will's own type "All-Out Pummeling", or Steel-Z "Corkscrew Crash".
But was hurriedly stopped by Will.
He doesn't lack Fighting-type and Steel-type moves, also doesn't need high-power moves of Water-type and Fire-type.
What he wants...
Is of course Ice-type!
Our Ice-type moves only fight high-end games, use one, won't utter a sound.
Especially facing these dragons and those dragons' Gods and pseudo-Legendaries.
Ice-type will become a very easy-to-use means.
The only Ice-type move Will mastered is an Ice Punch, damage is also not high, and he doesn't have items to enhance the power of Ice-type moves.
So what he lacks is actually an Ice-type ultimate move!
Isn't this a good opportunity right now?
So Cynthia followed Will's wish, choosing Ice-Z—Subzero Slammer!
Afterwards.
According to Will and Cynthia's study and consultation,
The release method of Z-Moves in this world is different from the game.
Same as the anime.
In the game.
Requires both trainer and Pokémon to carry Z-Crystals to use the corresponding moves, like Mega Stones and Key Stones.
But in the anime, the Pokémon doesn't need to also carry a Z-Crystal.
This is of course advantageous for them.
This way they don't need to go find another identical crystal.
As long as Cynthia incarnates as a dancing fairy during battles, dancing while chanting, it can resonate herself, the Z-Crystal, and Will, using "Subzero Slammer".
If Will dances together with Cynthia, the power of this move will even be enhanced.
But in battle, there's certainly no time to dance.
The opponent is not a fool.
Watching him doing hand seals here.
Even for a Swords Dance he has to find an opportunity.
Let alone dancing this kind of slow radio calisthenics,
In the subsequent measured training process of Will and Cynthia.
He also gradually understood the usage principle of Z-Moves.
When using a Z-Move, the Z-Crystal will release powerful Ice-type energy, through the pathway of "Z-Ring—Cynthia—Will", transferring the power of the Z-Crystal to Will.
During the energy transfer process.
Ice-blue energy and snowflakes will emerge around Cynthia.
Her entire golden long hair will fly in the air along with these cold airs.
When the movements on her hands and the words chanted in her mouth end, these energies will shoot onto Will like countless ribbons.
Z-Moves are not only powerful, the effect also looks very gorgeous.
And this time it's not the gorgeousness of the Pokémon alone, but trainer and Pokémon being gorgeous together, as if naturally born to participate in Pokémon Contests.
Will, who somewhat looked down on Z-Moves in the past.
When truly contacting this power couldn't help sighing:
So fragrant (So good).
But it's not without places to pay attention to.
When the power of the Z-Crystal disperses.
Cynthia and Will's body temperature will lower in a short time, and a faint layer of thin ice will form on their hair or fur.
This is the negative setting of Z-Moves—it will cause an extreme burden on trainers and Pokémon.
So in one battle.
Can only use a Z-Move once.
Using too much.
The trainer might not be able to withstand it.
Unless it's the physique of Super Pallet Towner (Ash), the kind where Mega, Z, and Dynamax coming continuously won't cause accidents, then maybe can fire a few more Z-Moves.
