Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 418 "Mahakala"?
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is a subject of study for many scholars, but trainers are the ones who get closest to the relationship between the two races.

We eat, live, and fight together, basically spending 24 hours a day together. I am one of the most qualified people to speak on this matter.

Extensive data collection has shown that while Poké Balls may not be necessary, they are essential.

First of all, not all elves are diurnal creatures.

Take the Pokémon Cuckoo as an example. They need to be active at night, but trainers often have to battle them during the day.

How to resolve conflicts arising from different habits?

Trainers can certainly choose to have their guinea pigs only on guard duty at night, but eventually they will need to fight each other during the day.

Forcibly changing a cuckoo's habits can cause physiological stress responses and trigger various hormonal imbalances.

Perhaps it takes a long time for one party to adapt, but this is neither a long-term solution nor a universally applicable one.

"Although many trainers don't realize it, the Poké Ball plays a crucial role in this."

When Gugu is in a Poké Ball, it is in a state similar to hibernation, allowing it to rest peacefully without being affected by the outside world while traveling with its trainer to mountains and seas.

If they have to be sent out in a battle, they can maintain their full combat strength thanks to proper rest, and can go back to sleep after the battle.

This is similar to the survival environment of a cuckoo in the wild.

What may seem like a useless Poké Ball actually helps humans and Pokémon harmonize their habits, allowing them to work and live together.

Would Gugu object to him staying in his Poké Ball while he sleeps during the day? Obviously not, as it's much safer and more comfortable than the wild environment where he could be attacked at any moment.

Link suddenly thought of a certain electric rat: "It sounds like the Poké Ball really helped a lot. Speaking of which, is Pikachu diurnal or nocturnal?"

"Neither. Pikachu is a twilight creature, and is relatively active at dawn and dusk."

According to the Polymorph, this was to avoid the high temperatures and predators.

In other words, the daily routines of a normal Pikachu are completely different from those of a human.

The premise is that it's normal...

"But actually, quite a few Pokémon don't like staying in Poké Balls, right?"

"Wang!"

Polygon doesn't deny this point; both humans and elves are diverse, some are active and some are quiet, and overall it's an individual's preference.

However, basically only small Pokémon like Gugu have a choice.

For creatures like Arcanine, which are regulated in cities, and Snorlax, which could cause damage to surrounding buildings and the environment if released, Poké Balls are essential.

"Gambi~"

Munchlax also strongly agrees with this.

With a size like itss, how could it possibly have been soaking in hot springs in Furen the day before yesterday, eating honey in Rota Street yesterday, eating rice cakes in Dark Grey today, eating mochi in Kitakami Village tomorrow, and eating pizza in Unova right now without a Poké Ball?

Egui Peng also strongly agreed with this point, saying that there are many things in the outside world that one would never encounter even if they lived in Beishang Township their whole life.

In any case, Poké Balls greatly expand their range of movement, allowing even Fish-type Pokémon that live in rivers and oceans to travel to mountains and high altitudes...

If Team Plasma were to completely abandon Poké Balls as they advocate, such a good thing would never happen again.

It took humans and elves hundreds of years to gradually coexist, so how can we possibly return to a primitive way of life?

"In other words, if humans really sever ties with elves and release all elves back into the wild, wouldn't we be returning to the old days when humans and elves attacked each other and no one could survive alone in the wild?"
"I think Team Plasma's philosophy, principles and vision are completely contradictory. What they want is not for everyone to release Pokémon, but for only themselves to have the right to define who can coexist peacefully with whom, and who can oppress each other."

Link does believe that the current relationship between humans and Pokémon still has many problems, and there are indeed people like Team Rocket who treat them as tools and resources. However, a clean break would only render all past efforts futile. As a trainer who lives with Pokémon 24/7, he must continue to explore ways for the two species to coexist.

"Fu!"

To put it bluntly, it's just that he's overeaten and making a fuss over nothing!
The fire fox was too lazy to discuss such nonsense; it would get angry at anyone who separated it from its trainer.

Instead of dwelling on such a disappointing topic, let's all come and see the further improved "Haguro".

"It's only been a short while, and you've already come up with another version?"

The fox is proud; it's just that clever.

Of course, the main reason is that it has conducted in-depth research on terrestrial crystals.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, it immediately used its newly developed move.

A shadow gradually expanded from the fire fox's center, soon turning the surroundings into a pitch-black night where no light could be seen in front of one's face.

"Hey?"

Talebagos sensed the energy of the crystalline crystal within the shadow and realized that it was the diffused crystalline crystal acting as a medium that had darkened everything within its range.

Therefore.

Even when Link pulled out his Pokédex for illumination, it had no effect whatsoever.

Light cannot travel smoothly within this range.

Although it seems to have evolved somewhat, isn't the principle still based on energy?
Erguipeng once again pulled out the "Thorn Vine Staff" and hurled it into the air, but this time he failed to dispel the shadow cast by the fire fox.

"Boni?"

Strange, the feel is not right. It breaks easily when I hit it with moves like "Trick Room".

"Bagogo~"

Violence won't work; Fire Fox took advantage of the Taijing's ability to absorb energy.

Normally, it should form a shield to resist damage, but the Fire Fox further disperses the crystal, using it as a medium to generate shadows for its attacks.

The result is that countless tiny fragments of crystalline material float in this area, absorbing elemental energy and replicating themselves to a certain extent.

Even though the output of the Egui Pong was very high, exceeding the critical range for the energy absorption of the Taijing fragments, since these Taijing were not a whole, it could only break a small part of them... This part could be easily replenished.

"Fu!"

That's it!

Brute-force attacks are prohibited!

Everyone should honestly go through the system for Fu.

"It seems the Fire Fox harbors a deep resentment towards anyone being able to unleash a burst of power that ignores changes for a short period. So, is this move still 'Feather Black'?"

The fire fox shook its head. By now, it had completely altered the "Feather Black" technique.

If a "sunny day" is to activate the surrounding fire-attribute energy, thus creating an effect similar to sunlight.

Its move involves spreading crystals all around, creating an effect similar to darkness.

"Although it's the complete opposite of 'Sunny Day,' calling it 'Black Sky' feels a bit incongruous... Speaking of which, Fire Fox, have you considered how to suppress these energy-absorbing, self-replicating crystal fragments?"
