I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Ho-Oh turned its face away speechlessly. That was thanks to the World Tree, what does it have to do with you, Mew... Oh, you two are symbiotic, you are me and I am you? Never mind then.

Seeing how Dreamy was acting like a bully, Ye Feng was speechless. He had always thought that Dreamy's nickname "Dreamy the Fool" was just a joke, but now it seemed that was indeed the case.

The World Tree, whose full name is the Tree of Origin, needs no explanation as to what this name represents.

Anything related to the World Tree can become reasonable, no matter how illogical it may seem.

Ye Feng accepted immediately.

Chapter 236 Thanks to Xerneas for his kind gift

Although he accepted it, Ye Feng was still full of doubts.

Why was I brought to Yggdrasil? Why are Ho-Oh and Mew in front of me?

Ho-Oh is quite dignified; it seems the title of photographer in his previous life was just a joke. But why does Mew act like we're old friends?

“I’ve been observing you ever since you came into this world,” Dreamy explained, guessing Ye Feng’s thoughts.

"Observing me? All along?" Ye Feng pointed to himself in astonishment.

Mew nodded: "That's right, I've been observing your growth ever since you appeared. I even gave you your Key Stone and Mega Stone."

Ye Feng was stunned. He finally understood how the Key Stone and Mega Stone had suddenly appeared in front of him.

"But why..." Ye Feng scratched his head, his mind filled with doubt. Although he was a transmigrator, there was nothing particularly special about him.

Without any cheat codes or external advantages, the only slight edge might be its superior knowledge of Pokémon, which is ahead of the rest of the world. But that shouldn't be anything special in the eyes of legendary Pokémon.

Ye Feng is probably the most down-on-his-luck among the transmigrators.

Why would someone like this attract attention from the Dream World?

"Well, how should I put it? Although you're not very skilled, you still have some special qualities," Dream said.

"Where?" Ye Feng asked curiously, automatically ignoring the fact that he lacked the ability.

"Your soul."

"soul?"

“That’s right. I don’t know if it was always like this, or if you experienced some kind of mutation during your time travel, but your soul is different from the humans of this world.”

"What's different?" Ye Feng was completely confused. How could it mutate? He hadn't even noticed it himself.

"Hmm, this is very complicated, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you." Dream paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes and said.

"...You don't know how to explain this, do you?" Ye Feng was speechless.

"Simply put, you've awakened superpowers, right?" Dream asked.

Ye Feng nodded.

"So what is your superpower?"

"Um... I don't know if being able to use other people's mental energy counts, it's just that's the only ability I have right now." Ye Feng scratched his cheek.

“Then that’s it.” Dream tapped her right hand against her left palm. “That’s what makes it special.”

"What's so special about it?" Ye Feng still didn't understand.

"Isn't this special?" Dream blinked her big eyes and looked at Ye Feng.

"···"

"···"

"Alright, that's all there is to it!" Dream waved her little hands. "Don't worry about the details."

How can I not care! You didn't explain it clearly at all! Ye Feng felt a slight pain in his chest.

"In short, there's still room for further development of this ability. Work hard, and you'll find out in the future. Finding out too early will only hinder your development," Dream said earnestly.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Feng figured it out; Dream was unlikely to be able to explain anything.

What else can we do? Of course, we have to accept this explanation.

"Alright, your sprites are about to wake up, go check on them first," Mew said.

Ye Feng was overjoyed and quickly ran to the elves' side.

Gardevoir was the first to wake up, followed by Arcanine, Gyarados, and the others.

"Shauna?"

"Ouch?"

"Roar?"

"Kuogu?"

"Ci Lu?"

"Keith?"

The group of elves stared blankly at Ho-Oh and Mew.

Although they had never seen them before, their instincts, ingrained deep in their genes, told them the identities of the two elves before them.

Meng Huan waved her hand, leaving the explanation to Ye Feng—she had already put in a lot of effort to explain to Ye Feng, and it would be too much trouble to explain it again.

Ye Feng could only give a brief explanation of what had happened.

The elves exchanged glances. Unlike Ye Feng, they weren't as quick to understand, and they were still completely confused.

However, they didn't plan to think too much about it. With Ye Feng around, it was always right to follow their trainer.

"Alright, alright, now that you're awake, I'll give you the things from before." Dream spun in the air, gesturing for Ye Feng to follow her.

Although he didn't know what Dream was going to give him, Ye Feng still obediently followed along—he might as well go his own way, but Dream was still a divine beast, and he might get something good this time.

Dream led Ye Feng and the other elves to another huge cave.

Ye Feng was astonished to discover that there was a huge ball of light in the very center of the cave.

"Garde!" Gardevoir exclaimed.

"What? You're saying that's all life energy?" Ye Feng's eyes widened.

"Hmph, this is compensation I got for you from Xerneas! Aren't you going to thank me?" Mew proudly patted Ye Feng's shoulder with its tail.

So much life energy? My God, where did it come from? Did Dream drain Xerneas dry?

"What kind of look is that?" Meng Huan was unhappy. She had gone through all the trouble to ask Ye Feng for benefits, so what was wrong with her little brother?

"Is Xerneas alright...?" Ye Feng asked cautiously.

"What could possibly happen?" Dreamy said nonchalantly, and Ye Feng felt it probably rolled its eyes. "You're so stingy with this little bit of energy, what a poor wretch!"

"..." Ye Feng didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If I agree, I'll feel bad for Xerneas; if I don't, the dream is right in front of me, and I might get beaten up.

Forget it, let's just keep quiet. Ye Feng can't afford to offend either side.

When Dreamy received no response, it clicked its tongue in displeasure and pointed at the cluster of life energy, saying, "Go ahead and let your spirit absorb these."

"What?" Ye Feng was taken aback.

Absorb? These?

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get going!" Dream urged, slapping Ye Feng with its tail.

"Mew, are you crazy? Do you want Ye Feng's Pokémon to explode and die?" Ho-Oh couldn't stand it anymore. It was one thing for Mew to just wander around normally, but why was it acting so foolishly now?

Even if such a large amount of life energy were divided into six equal parts, could an ordinary elf withstand it?

"Huh? Oh, you're right, I forgot." Mew paused for a moment, then scratched its head with its tail.

Ye Feng was speechless.

If it weren't for Ho-Oh, his Pokémon might have been killed by Mew.

"What should I do..." Dreamy paced around in distress.

It had originally thought that Ye Feng's elves, by absorbing this life energy, would be able to improve their strength on the most fundamental level, and that this might allow them to pass the World Tree's test and become guardians.

But it forgot that Ye Feng's elves were still ordinary elves, not at the level of legendary elves, and had no way to directly absorb so much energy.

"That's fine. I'll compress this life energy and have Ye Feng take it back for his Pokémon to absorb slowly. It'll be a bit slow, but at least there won't be any danger."

"Moreover, these life energies can be used to strengthen Xerneas's protection in critical moments."

Ye Feng was overjoyed. He had originally thought that he had no chance with this life energy and could only give up, but he did not expect that the Phoenix King could compress life energy.

That makes sense, though, because Xerneas possesses eternal life and can share it with all living things;

Ho-Oh is a legendary Pokémon that controls the life force of Pokémon. Its main ability is to revive dead Pokémon. Although they are slightly different, they are both powers related to life, so manipulating life energy should not be a problem for Ho-Oh.

Dream's eyes lit up, and she happily spun around: "Thank you so much, Aunt Phoenix!"

Aunt Feng Wang? Ye Feng's ears twitched involuntarily.
