Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 376 Xiao Guang, I'll give you a big surprise tomorrow.

Mammon was speechless upon hearing Talebagos's words.

Did some other force alter Talebagos's abilities?

The power of time and space—in the entire Pokémon world, only a handful of Pokémon possess this power.

Celebi counts as one, and Palkia and Giratina can also be considered to some extent. Although neither of them has the power of time, as the three Origin Gods, in a sense, all three of them have some time-space abilities.

Compared to Dialga, Palkia and Giratina are only slightly similar, and Palkia cannot rewind or travel through time at will like Dialga.

However, Celebi cannot affect Talebagos's abilities because the difference between the two is too great. Palkia and Giratina cannot either, as their time abilities are far from sufficient.

As for Dialga, let's set aside whether it had the power to distort the spacetime travel ability of Astral Teleporter before its Origin transformation. Even if it did, it was controlled by the evil Hoopa at the time, just like Astral Teleporter.
There was only one left; I was spying on an alpaca at the time.

Why do this?

Mammon was puzzled by this point. In reality, whether he traveled to Carlos's time three thousand years ago or the era of the Green Washer, it had no impact on Mammon.

Because that was the situation at the time, Kyurem was about to defeat Zygarde in his complete form. After Kyurem withdrew his hand, even though Mammon had not yet returned.

The evil Hoopa and their kind could not possibly catch Punish Hoopa.

Therefore, the outcome is predetermined. Even if Arceus's stance is biased towards Mammon, it has no need to provide such meaningless 'assistance'.

Rather, Arceus actually wanted Mammon to go to the Green Mist!
"Was it intentional on my part to let you know about Xiao Zhao's existence beforehand?"

Mammon was pretty sure of this, because he always arrived at the Red Lotus Wetlands, which wasn't far from Wusi's hut.

Moreover, Wang Luo happened to be nearby at that time.

"Tsk~ What a bias."

As he pondered this, Mammon couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle softly.

Yes, it's really favoritism, way too much favoritism.

Dialga, including Arceus of this world, may have foreseen the future, which is why they both showed a 'favoritism' towards Xiao Zhao.

Is this the world's favor?
"Huh? Mammon, what did you say?"

The slightly tipsy little turtle raised its head blankly.

"It's alright, you little rascal, just drink less alcohol in the future," Mammon chuckled, tapping the little turtle's head.

However, it seems that Talebages has a pretty good alcohol tolerance.

"Hehe~ That fruit wine smells really good." Talebagos revealed a human-like, silly smile.

"And I'm not drunk, you know. Hoopa and the others are so lame."

Talebagos proudly shook his little head.

That's true. Hoopa was so drunk he could barely fly, while Jirachi and Victini were fast asleep, belly up.

Fruit wine doesn't have a high alcohol content, but that doesn't stop them from drinking a lot of it.

Mammon saw it; such a huge wooden barrel, and Hoopa and the others almost drank it all.

It's not without reason that Mei Yali feels sorry for him.

"Okay, okay, you're amazing~" Mammon chuckled. This Talebagos, like the Punishing Hoopa and the others, also gave people a feeling of childlike innocence.

It's really cute.

"So, little turtle, tell me, can you please take me and Xiaoguang back to Xicui? This is very important to me."

"No~"

Talebagos tilted his head and looked at Mammon, a mysterious light flickering in his eyes.

“It should be possible. I can see the ‘threads’ on you, Mammon. They’re connected in so many ways. As long as I can find the ‘thread’ that you mentioned, the one that’s called Xicui, I can send you there.”

A moment later, Talebagos raised his head and said confidently.

“However, Mammon, my ability has a time limit. If there are two of us, it might be shorter than the time you spent there today, and it also depends on whether Xiaoguang has any ‘wires’ on her.”

The 'line' that Talebagos refers to is simply a shortened term that Mammon can understand.

This can be understood as a causal link. Only when there is a causal link between the target and the corresponding person can Talebagos activate his ability to allow the target to travel through time and space.

This is also a major difference between Talebago and Diallo.

Dialga's time travel is not subject to such restrictions.

"Then could you send Xiao Zhao to our era?"

Mammon came up with an even simpler way.

After all, in the story of "Zhu Zi", the person that Talebagos teleported to the Crystal Pool was Orin from the past, which means that as long as the conditions are met, it can also directly summon people from the past to the present.

"As long as there's a 'wire,' it's fine."

Talebagos blinked his big eyes.

"Okay, I see."

Once Mammon realized this, he picked up the cute little turtle, unable to hide his smile.

So he really loves little guys like Talebagos who are both strong and cute.

The size of the Talebages is really small. In its normal form, the Talebages is only 0.2 meters long, and in its crystal form, it is only 0.3 meters long.

However, in its star crystal form, based on today's observations, its size would increase dramatically to about 2 meters.

However, in reality, Talebagos's size is quite small compared to other top legends.

But as Mammon said, battles between Pokémon are never simply about size.

Just like the alpaca, which is less than 4 meters tall, but that doesn't stop it from being invincible in the sky and on the ground.

"gesi~"

Holding Mammon and rubbing his chin, Talebagos immediately relaxed, closed his eyes, and let out a soft, comfortable hum, thoroughly enjoying himself. "Moreover, crystallization is also much more convenient now."

Mammon glanced at Talebagos in his arms, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Taijing, a powerful enhancement system with significant tactical implications, can gradually be popularized within the Rockets after the introduction of Tailebagos.

Because Talebagos is the 'Source of Crystal'!
All teratogenic forms originate from Taleborg, just as Dynamax originates from Eternatus.

It's actually different from Dynamaxing which is simply restricted to a specific location, because Dynamaxing requires an 'energy point' and then using the Dynamax Ring to mobilize the Dynamax energy to make the Pokémon in the Poké Ball Dynamax.

Therefore, Dynamax has the strictest restrictions of all enhancement methods, but Dynamax is indeed powerful, even with time limitations.

Unlike Tai Crystallization, Tai Crystallization can be used anywhere as long as there is a Tai Crystal Bead full of Tai Crystal energy.

The problem is that, apart from Padia and the depths of Zone Zero, the Crystal Beads are essentially disposable items in other regions.

Because there is nowhere to replenish the energy within the Crystal Orb, Padia has Pokémon Centers that can help replenish it for free, and some environments with abundant Crystal Energy will automatically replenish the Crystal Energy.

Therefore, in other regions, Taijinghua actually has no strategic significance whatsoever.

But now that Mammon has acquired Talebagos, things are different.

Just have Talebagos create a few items that can continuously replenish the energy of the Crystal Beads, and that's it.

Just like Eternatus, as the source of Dynamax, if you can capture Eternatus...

Therefore, Eternatus can place energy points anywhere, so Dynamax will not be limited by region.

Because Taleborg and Eternatus are the origin of these two enhancement methods, without them there would be no Dynamax and Gigantamax.

In fact, at present, any enhancement method has a traceable pattern.

Z-energy, the ultimate energy to activate Z-Moves, was originally brought to Alola from Ultra Dimension by Solgaleo and Lunala in the Alola lore.

However, neither of them should be the source of Z-energy. The source is most likely Necrozma, since Necrozma can unleash ultimate power, or it could be the entirety of Ultra Space.

As for Mega Evolution, according to Dr. Blatano's research in the story, Mega Stones are likely special stones, such as Evolution Stones, which are created when Xerneas and Yveltal are illuminated by the energy of the Final Weapon.

Well, if this research hypothesis is true, then super evolution is actually the least impressive of the four enhancement methods in some ways.

However, from a realistic perspective, Mega Evolution is definitely the most useful of the four enhancement methods.

After all, Mega Evolution isn't limited by region, and its boost to a Pokémon's strength is extremely direct, making it crucial for the tactics of your main team. (PS: From a purely game battle perspective, I think Dynamax is definitely stronger than Mega Evolution and Crystallization; Dynamax is just too overpowered in the game.)
So in reality, Mega Evolution is really incredibly useful.

Dynamax and Crystallize each have their own advantages and disadvantages, but both are definitely very powerful enhancements. Dynamax increases a Pokémon's HP by almost double in a short period of time, and allows the use of powerful Dynamax moves during its duration.

Crystallization can directly change a Pokémon's type, making it almost unparalleled in strategic significance. It can turn a type disadvantage into an advantage and amplify the power of moves, which is equivalent to indirectly increasing combat power.

As for Z-Moves...

Yeah, the Z move can be used for awkward dancing.

After a while, Mammon carried Talebages back into the house. As soon as he entered, Mammon raised an eyebrow.

Serena and Prantina were fast asleep, one on the sofa and the other on the soft carpet.

Judging from the appearance, Serena, who was lying on the carpet, had rolled off the sofa.

As for Cattleya, Mammon glanced into the room and saw that she was also asleep, breathing evenly.

The house was prepared by Balzac; it has only two rooms and a living room. Salina and Prandina did not sleep in the other room, perhaps intentionally reserved for Mammon.

“I told you all to drink less, but you can drink this much fruit wine.”

Mammon found it quite amusing. In fact, the three women hadn't drunk much, only about two cups each, and stopped after realizing they were getting a little dizzy.

However, being my first time drinking, my alcohol tolerance was indeed quite low.

Mammon stepped forward and first pulled Serena's skirt down a bit. Hmm, he saw her black safety shorts.
That's normal, though. Serena isn't a carefree person. Her short skirt might expose her if it's windy, so she definitely needs to wear safety shorts.

But Mammon didn't expect that Serena was quite vigilant.

Seemingly sensing someone approaching, Serena, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes. After vaguely seeing that it was Mammon, her eyes became hazy again.

Clearly, Mammon was someone she could absolutely trust.

“Mr. Mammon, you’re back…”

The voice was like a dream, very soft and gentle.

"Okay, don't sleep on the floor, you'll catch a cold."

Mammon pulled Serena's skirt up, wrapped one arm around her waist and the other around her legs, and gently lifted her up.

The girl's waist was slender and supple, and her thighs were equally soft and delicate.

Serena was clearly still in a daze, and in her weightlessness, she instinctively hugged Mammon's neck.

A drowsy feeling kept Serena's eyes half-open and half-closed.

"Well……"

Soon after, Serena leaned against Mammon's chest and fell asleep again.

Mammon carried Serena to the room and carefully placed her on the bed. Then he returned to the living room and picked up Plantina.
Like Serena, this little girl was quite alert. As soon as Mammon approached, her pretty brows furrowed, but without even opening her eyes, she sniffed the air with her cute nose, and her brows relaxed.

Mammon picked her up in a princess carry as well, and Prantina leaned against his chest naturally and peacefully, even nuzzling him gently, with a smile on her face.

After placing Plantina next to Salina, Mammon didn't rush to leave. He sat down and carefully observed Plantina's sleeping face for a while, seemingly lost in thought.

"Mr. Mammon, that's amazing!"

A few minutes later, upon hearing Miss Bellizzi's girlish ramblings, Mammon chuckled and shook his head.

Mammon got up and covered the two women with blankets before leaving the room.

"Good night."

I hope you can accept the big surprise tomorrow, Xiaoguang!
