Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Zapdos nodded emphatically, gazing into the distance as if it had pierced through the barrier of space and landed somewhere.

[Our Zapdos clan should arrive nearby in about a week. Until then, I will focus all my efforts on teaching Zeraora.]

[That’s right]

Zapdos's gaze fell on the seemingly ordinary fragments of the Thunderstone Slab. It was clear that the owner had taken good care of it, as there wasn't a speck of dust on the golden fragments.

However, it lacks that most important touch of spiritual charm, meaning that the fragments of the lightning stone slab are still in a state of self-concealment.

[Regarding the Lightning Stone Slab fragments, could you please keep them for a while? As far as I know, Zeraora can't resonate with them yet. In exchange, I'll try to activate them during this time. How about it?]

Zapdos looked at Su Hao with questioning eyes. Although it had considered taking the stone slab fragments, it couldn't afford to mess with Articuno, which was on the same side as it, or even the White Dragon.

Articuno might join in and fight me alongside that white dragon, while Moltres would probably laugh at me and kick me while I'm down.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a wise decision.

It's better to play it safe and use the time while teaching Zeraora to improve yourself with the stone shards. Then you can overtake and dominate Moltres.

Su Hao nodded slightly: "No problem."

He had long been aware of this, that some things could not be learned by relying on fragments of the Lightning Stone Tablet. He felt that exchanging the right to use the fragments of the Lightning Stone Tablet for a period of time in exchange for the God of Thunder personally teaching Zeraora was a very good deal.

At Su Hao's instruction, Zeraora handed the Thunderstone Slab fragments to Zapdos, bid farewell to Su Hao, and officially embarked on a seven-day solo training.

Meanwhile, Su Hao returned to Ice Island aboard the Emerald Warrior Eagle to devise training strategies for the remaining Pokémon.

...........

[As expected, although Diancie's appearance hasn't changed, a huge power is brewing within her, like a cocoon waiting to hatch at the right time and when the conditions are right.]

[As the Radiant Stones are consumed, one day in the future, when their power is unleashed, Diancie will undergo a dramatic transformation.]

Articuno retracted its wings from Diancie, having reached a definitive conclusion.

Reshiram, who was standing nearby, shared the same opinion. Su Hao had once shown it the radiant stone that had not been absorbed.

[This power is of a very high rank; it's called the Radiant God, isn't it? A creator god from another world. At least I've never heard of it in my world, and it never appeared when my world was occupied.]

However, the radiant power of Diancie is fundamentally different from the light within the Radiant Stone.

Lehiram and Freeze

Birds are not familiar with the power of light. Perhaps only when the legend of this power is revealed will Diancie's hidden talents be unleashed.

Hearing their evaluations, Su Hao and Tianxi exchanged a glance and made a decision.

Sure enough, we need to find the island's guardian spirits. Apart from the Sun-devouring Beast and the Moon-inviting Beast that might appear from the Ultra Cave, there are only four Tapu who have a good understanding of light.

Before Su Hao entered the secret realm of the high seas, he had heard that the appearance of ultimate caves in the world was becoming more and more frequent.

Perhaps, the arrival of the four island guardians is not far off.

Time flies, and a week later...

Aside from exploring the true nature of Diancie's power, the other Pokémon have also improved to varying degrees this week, and are not far from reaching the Elite Four level.

On the frozen bay of Ice Island, Su Hao was playing beach ball with Lugia. Although there was no sand here, Lugia was having a lot of fun.

When Articuno landed in front of them, Su Hao and the other Pokémon's expressions immediately turned serious.

[The Moltres and Zapdos sent word that their clansmen are almost at the edge of the sea outside their secret realm, and Incineroar and Zeraora's training is nearly complete.]

[I'm sending you to take a look and check on their growth. Then, it'll be time for the final preparations for implementing the plan.]

Su Hao nodded slightly, and Diancie and the others cooperated by entering the Poké Ball.

In an instant, only Su Hao, Articuno, and Lugia remained in the outside world.

Riding on Articuno, with their excited little Lugia, they first arrived at Fire Island.

As soon as it entered the vicinity of the crater, Articuno frowned slightly due to the environment.

To be honest, it can tolerate the thunderstorms on Thunder Island, but the volcano is really...

The temperature on Fire Island seems to have risen significantly in the past few days. The hot and dry environment would probably not last long for most people, as they would have to leave due to rapid dehydration.

Just as Articuno landed on the rocks in the crater, Su Hao heard Moltres's disappointed voice not far away.

[Don't talk about the debt of gratitude for teaching; as long as you don't speak ill of your master in the future, that's enough...]

Chapter 839 The Rise of the Blazing Roaring Tiger?

Su Hao: "......."

He almost lost his composure after saying just the first sentence.

A sense of disbelief welled up in Su Hao's heart. He comforted himself, after all, the God of Fire had personally taught him, and the Flame of Life was the other party's exclusive flame. It wasn't the combined power of Kyurem and Reshiram, or the pure energy utilization skills and special aura construction skills of Galarian Moltres' evil aura.

Even if he wasn't an expert, Tiger's physical condition should have been able to digest the life force and benefit from the enhancement of his fur.

Seemingly sensing Su Hao and his group's arrival, Moltres turned its gaze directly over. Its eyes lit up when it saw Lugia, but upon seeing Su Hao, a strange resentment crept into its gaze.

Su Hao and Articuno's gazes fell on Incineroar. After a week apart, Incineroar's aura was much more solid than before, and its physique looked stronger. It seemed to have grown a little taller. Was it because it absorbed magma energy or the Flame of Life?

It seems that the Blazing Roaring Tiger is just one step away from reaching the Heavenly King level.

After spending a while getting close to Lugia, Moltres's voice finally rang out.

"You've come at the right time. The training is basically over. Disciple... no, Blazing Roaring Tiger, show us your progress over this period."

"Crack!"

The Blazing Roaring Tiger roared excitedly, its gaze falling on a giant rock in the distance, and its familiar, smug smile appeared on its face.

On its robust body, muscles bulged instantly, flames and lightning exploded together, and the explosive power brought by the new electric current propulsion technique formed by the intertwined forces filled the entire body of the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Incineroar's aura instantly surged to the peak of the Gym Leader level. In its current state, Incineroar was capable of exchanging several blows with an ordinary Elite Four Pokémon.

But that's not all!

The tiger's eyes gleamed with a dazzling light, and its body trembled as it roared. The flames on its body grew even darker, almost turning into the same crimson color as the magma beneath the volcano.

Driven by high heat energy, the power of lightning was further aroused. Under the enormous power born from the intersection of lightning and fire, the power of the Blazing Roaring Tiger increased explosively, wildly, and powerfully!

It is infinitely more powerful than ever before!

Hehehe, take this Roaring Tiger Explosive Fist from Tiger Lord!

Aiming at the boulder, the Blazing Roaring Tiger's fist, carrying terrifying power, exploded.

With a loud, clearly audible tremor, the Blazing Roaring Tiger blasted the boulder, which was dozens of times its size, into dust with a single punch!

Su Hao's eyes widened slightly. This was...

Seemingly sensing Su Hao's shock, the Moltres spoke with a hint of smugness:

It possesses a very interesting skill in using power; the interaction between fire and lightning, besides their mutual combat, can generate such a powerful force. I couldn't resist teaching it a little.

It doesn't have a high compatibility with my life force, which I use to heal. Even though I spent several days infusing my life force into its flames, it could only heal some of my injuries.

However, the Blazing Roaring Tiger has a high affinity for energy extracted from magma. Currently, it's super-compressing fire energy, simulating a force similar to magma energy, to power that... what's called an electric current... no, according to it, it should now be called a nascent magnetic field rotation.

[Providing the highest quality energy to the nascent magnetic field rotation, it unleashes extraordinary power. Incidentally, because magma energy has extremely strong corrosive power, even ordinary Fire-type Pokémon might not be able to withstand it; this attack has a slight side effect.]

As soon as Moltres finished speaking, Incineroar, which had been so powerful just moments before and unleashed an attack that was a threat even to Elite Four Pokémon, exploded!

Su Hao, Articuno, Moltres, and Reshiram within the Sea of ​​Spirits: "........"

Little Lugia tilted her head: "Lu?"

What's that? It looks so fun! Lugia wants to play too!

Articuno quietly pulled Lugia back into its arms. The scene was too bloody; children shouldn't watch it.

Su Hao approached and saw that the Blazing Roaring Tiger was emitting black smoke, indicating its extremely high heat resistance.

The tiger's fur was also slightly curved.

It lay on the ground, its body covered in wounds left by the energy rampage.

Just as Su Hao was about to use the power of the Everlasting Rock to heal the Blazing Roaring Tiger, the Moltres's indescribable voice rang out again.

It says that the original form of rotating using a magnetic field relied on the magnetic field released by a Pokémon named Zeraora, but it cannot use this power without Zeraora, which is undoubtedly a limitation.

[Using supercompressed flame energy to simulate magma energy can provide a certain degree of temporary replacement, but its stability seems questionable. After just one use, it often explodes on the spot due to energy overload.]

As soon as he finished speaking, the Moltres brushed Su Hao aside and spewed flames imbued with a rich life force, skillfully beginning to heal the Infernal Roaring Tiger's injuries.

It's obvious that Moltres has been healing Incineroar quite a bit lately.

"Rahiram, do you know what's going on?"

Standing to the side, Su Hao chose to inquire about the main family of the intertwined power.

Rahiram's voice then rang out.

[Hmm... Our intertwined energy is generally an intertwining of equal fire and electricity attributes, emphasizing balance like yin and yang, possessing excellent stability, and will not place an excessive burden on the body.]

[It now appears that the fire-type energy compression technique that Incineroar learned from Moltres has directly disrupted the balance of its otherwise unremarkable lightning power by compressing magma energy.]

The price of unleashing immense power in an instant is an explosion caused by energy imbalance. In such cases, the only solutions are to grant the Blazing Roaring Tiger special lightning abilities and to enhance its control over magma energy to maintain balance.

Personally, I recommend letting it practice controlling magma energy.
