When it came to talking about the research process behind Z-Moves, Professor Kukui was beaming with excitement.
"Ordinary Z-Moves use a massive boost in attributes to drive up the power of moves."
"In my original idea, that was just one method. If absolute control over a move could be achieved, then perhaps it could also bring about a huge increase in attributes?"
"After seeing your Gardevoir use energy to condense another Gardevoir, I began to shift my research direction."
"Drawing inspiration from the manufacturing method of move discs, I attached the power of moves like Double Team, Substitute, and Hypnosis into the Z-Crystal."
"This lets Gardevoir use her extraordinary energy control to trigger them herself, activating these moves so she can automatically gain clones, unlocking that chariot-like form you used when fighting Kyurem!"
Axel blinked, and very quickly understood the significance of this move.
Last time, Gardevoir had used the Vivid-as-Ice trait to replicate Kyurem's fusion, but that kind of fusion had major problems.
Not only did it require Gardevoir to spend a very long time to perform, it was also relatively uncontrollable afterward.
Although it allowed the power of dual-skill release, the success rate was far from one hundred percent.
Originally, Axel had planned to rely on a long period of time, letting Gardevoir practice continuously and gradually master this ability.
But now, it seemed that this progress could be greatly shortened.
With the help of Z power, she could completely turn a move that required "manual control" into one that was "automatic."
More importantly, it saved a huge amount of time. It could be used instantly, without having to painstakingly look for the right opportunity.
In this way, even during battle, Gardevoir could constantly familiarize herself with this ability until it became instinct.
When that time came, even without using the Z-Crystal, Gardevoir would be able to instantly undergo a second transformation.
This point was the greatest highlight of this Z-Move.
Only then did Axel realize that the value of any professor could never be underestimated.
"I understand, Professor Kukui. Thank you."
"Since the theory has already become reality, why don't we try it now?"
Professor Kukui nodded decisively, "Let's try it."
Seeing how excited the two of them were, Reshiram subconsciously took a step back, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
He had personally witnessed Gardevoir's Fairy Queen form countless times and understood Gardevoir better than even Professor Kukui.
This was power that could suppress Kyurem on her own, and now they wanted him, a small Truth Dragon, to face it?
'These two people are devils!'
["I… I suddenly remembered I still have something to discuss with Kyurem. How about I swap Zekrom over to you instead?"]
["No need… Zekrom is too easy to fight. You'll do,"] Gardevoir looked seriously at Reshiram.
She felt that at the very least this guy had Fire typing, so at least he wouldn't be instantly taken down.
With the Fairy Queen trait and the Fairy Plate boosting her, Gardevoir felt that any Pokémon restrained by Fairy type were trash.
["Don't worry… it's just a spar. I won't summon a mount, how about that?"]
Reshiram glanced at Axel, who was watching the show from the side, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Deal!"
Reshiram felt that his bootlicking efforts were already more than enough. The only flaw was that he had never shown his true strength.
And now Gardevoir was saying she wouldn't use Glastrier?
Wasn't this his chance.
A regular Pokémon, still a Psychic plus Fairy type regular Pokémon, even if she had been strengthened countless times by the Lord God.
'But the advantage is on my side.'
As a noble Dragon plus Fire-type divine dragon, he, Reshiram, was not afraid of ordinary Fairies at all.
'This time, I'll make the Lord God look at me in a new light. When that happens, I'll be swimming in enhancement resources.'
Sensing Reshiram's thoughts, the corner of Gardevoir's mouth lifted slightly, drawing a beautiful curve.
Sure enough, as more Pokémon joined the team, someone else was starting to get itchy again~
Whether in her previous life or this one, none of these Dragons of Ideals and Dragons of Reality had ever been well-behaved.
Rayquaza, Dragonair sleeping in the trees, and the other Pokémon were all watching Reshiram with great interest, holding back laughter.
Rayquaza in particular had a smile that was even harder to suppress than Groudon's Precipice Blades.
He knew very well that in her previous life, even without the Fairy Plate or these strange abilities, Gardevoir could tear Zekrom apart with her bare hands.
Reshiram and Zekrom were brother dragons, their strength definitely not far apart, and he still wanted to fight Gardevoir?
Rayquaza beckoned to the Garchomp eating from the communal pot nearby, ["Little shark, come here for a moment. I need to tell you something…"]
"Roar!", Listening to Rayquaza's instructions, Garchomp nodded obediently, then quickly ran over next to Reshiram and dug a dragon-shaped deep pit beside him.
Reshiram stared blankly at Garchomp, his face full of confusion.
"Roar!", The little shark let out a cheerful roar.
'Lord Rayquaza said to dig you a pit in advance!'
Reshiram: "..."
'Damn it, so I have already been looked down on to this extent?'
'This battle concerns reputation! I have to fight properly!'
Axel saw that Reshiram had become completely serious and nodded in satisfaction.
At first, he had been worried that Reshiram would seize the chance to hold back, furiously flattering the highly ranked Gardevoir, resulting in the true power of the Z skill not being visible.
Now it seemed that this guy would not be holding back.
Since that was the case…
"All right, begin the battle."
"Roar!"
The instant Axel's words fell, Reshiram's eyes filled with fighting intent. The fur on his body surged like milky-white waves, carrying violent Fire-type energy as he charged toward Gardevoir.
The first move was his signature skill, the Blue Flare with its extreme high temperature.
Gardevoir's lips curved upward. Pink Fairy-type energy spread out indiscriminately, covering the entire courtyard.
Compared to the rampaging Reshiram, Gardevoir's movements appeared much lighter, like using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds.
With just a gentle snap of her fingers, she swapped positions with one of the fairy butterflies, teleporting into the sky.
Before Reshiram could even react, a sharp glint flashed in Gardevoir's eyes as overwhelming psychic power surged forth like a tidal wave.
At the same time, under Gardevoir's control, those pink fairy butterflies changed form, combining into a gigantic Kyurem formed entirely of Fairy energy.
Seeing this sudden change on the field, even Axel could not help but freeze for a moment. Kukui and the other Pokémon were even more shocked, almost unable to keep their mouths from hanging open.
Only Rayquaza showed not the slightest surprise. He had known it. As a Pokémon who could slay gods without opportunity, how could Gardevoir be simple?
After being connected with Glastrier's energy for so long, imitating the Vivid-as-Ice ability was far too easy.
