Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 321 Whose body is this?

Link had thought that after exchanging minds with Talebagos, he might suffer from interference from Talebagos's conscious crystal energy, and ultimately had to regretfully cancel the effect of the move.

But he soon realized he had worried too much. After both parties agreed, the "mind swap" body exchange did not cause any rejection reaction.

The same thing happened on the Talebagos side; there was no case of Manaphy's body suddenly crystallizing.

It was simply an exchange of "souls".

"This move is truly amazing..."

"How does it feel?"

"It's so awkward."

"really."

Having just switched bodies, neither the humans nor the elves were quite used to it yet, and they couldn't move freely for a while.

Only Suocailing manipulated the ancient sword with his spiritual power, making it float in the air and demanding its value.

"Priceless treasure!" declared the sword sheath within the body of the Money-Seeking Spirit.

The Blazing Roaring Tiger scoffed, "Wasn't it a free gift from the curator of the Qibao City Museum?"

"Such a priceless treasure!"

Before long, the elves had adapted to the other people's bodies.

Especially Talebagos, without the uncontrollable energy in its body, it felt that the burden on its back was much lighter, and its whole body felt relaxed.

Now let's look at Link entering its body...

Weapons forged from crystals materialized out of thin air and rained down on the walls of the maze like arrows.

"I always said there was no need for the 'Crystal Cluster' to be launched into the sky and then fall back down; wouldn't it have been faster to just condense a large number of crystalline projectiles?"

Taile Bagos: “???”

What, you're actually playing this game?!
Dragonite nodded repeatedly: "Wow, that move was really powerful!"

It feels more powerful than the "Crystal Cluster" that Talebagos used himself.

"I'll call this new move—'Turtle's Treasure.' Hmm, the power of the Primal Crystal is really convenient, much more so than water-attribute energy."

By this time, Link had undergone a lot of training, and his Intelligence and Perception had both reached 16. His control over moves already surpassed that of most Pokémon, not to mention the power of the Crystal, which is known for its convenience and versatility—he was a trainer who possessed the power of several badges at the same time.

After a brief period of adaptation, he was able to use the opponent's moves almost like a real Talebages.

While highly technical moves may be unusable due to insufficient proficiency, condensing a crystal and throwing it out doesn't require much skill, does it?

Is it really that convenient? Seeing this, Talebagos felt something was off. Is this my body or yours?

However, Manaphy's body is light and agile, so it doesn't care anymore; it can just play around.

Talebagos tried to use "Courage Fill" on his own, but failed.

There are many reasons, but the main one is that its own mental outlook is not compatible.

On the other hand, the other elves' dishes are also quite appetizing.

Dragonite, using Arcanine's body, experienced the true meaning of "Godspeed," and was unable to stop in time, crashing into the crystal on the wall.

Arcanine, still accustomed to walking on all fours inside Incineroar, ended up causing Incineroar, which had been standing up due to its evolution, to lie back down.

The true Incineroar adapted to Dragonite's body relatively quickly, but—

"How can your body be so clumsy? Is that really a Dragonite?" "Give it back if you can't use it!"

"I'll play a little longer... and Dog, you stand up straight."

So the elves decided to stay in their swapped-body state and go to the next level to fight another elf room.

After going through the usual procedures, the adventure team arrived at the 2nd floor and used the jade to teleport all the spirits on this floor to a large room.

The money-gathering spirit (single-sword sheath) watching from the sidelines trembled: "Do you guys fight like this every day?"

Talebagos wanted to say no, but after a moment's thought, it realized that these low-level games were just appetizers.

"Correct."

The Money-Gathering Spirit: "..."

It suddenly realized that it seemed to have boarded a pirate ship.

Meanwhile, the situation that should have occurred—that the person, having been reborn into a difficult battle in the artificial spirit's room—did not happen.

Link, who had a "mind swap" with Talebagos, displayed incredible fighting prowess.

Not only can it enlarge the "Tai Crystal Shell" into multiple layers of shields to block the opponent's attacks, but it can also make Tai Crystal into a sturdy net and chains to interfere with the enemy's movements over a wide area. The "Turtle Treasure" that follows is a barrage of attacks.

If the opponent is really tough, Link will even manipulate the crystal energy to force the opponent to crystallize into Ice + Grass + Bug type, achieving a triple type similar to "Forest Spell" or "Halloween Night", and then use "Crystal Cluster" to deal 8x super-effective damage...

While recklessly squandering energy, it achieved effective results with its varied attack forms, easily inflicting devastating damage on nearly a hundred elves that had been teleported there, knocking them out of the maze or turning them into crystal statues by the power of the crystal.

As the pilot's personality changes, Talebagos' fighting style also changes drastically, becoming incredibly powerful, almost like a different kind of elf.

Even Arcanine, Incineroar, and Dragonite lacked the confidence to defeat Link in this state while in their original forms.

In the end, after Link had almost single-handedly emptied the entire elf room, even Talebagos (Manaphy) couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Am I dreaming? Whose body is this?"

Why does it feel like Link is using it much better than I am?

Why is he able to flexibly control energies that he cannot control on his own?

The sweeping battle has come to an end.

Link, having reverted to his normal form, pondered, "That's right, this is the strength a first-tier god should have. Next, it's time to face pressure and stronger opponents—for example, Mega Mewtwo or Mega Rayquaza."

"I won't change it anymore! Give me back my body!"

Talebagos strongly opposes this!
Link's "mind swap" was thus forcibly terminated, and both returned to their respective bodies.

After returning to its body, Turtle always felt that the other Pokémon were looking at it with complicated expressions.

"So, Talebagos, would you like to learn from me how to use the power of the Primal Crystal?"

Does this sound like a word?

Talebagos initially wanted to object, but eventually reluctantly agreed.

In other words, maybe... no, it could definitely become as good as, or even stronger than, Link just now.

However, due to the considerable mental burden of maintaining the "mind swap," this body-swapping experience quickly came to an end.

The elves each gained something, but the one who gained the most was probably realizing that they actually possessed such a powerful Talebagos.
