Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

It seems that only a small threshold remains to reach the Heavenly King level.

And this hurdle is precisely the most difficult to overcome.

To use Xia Yan's favorite quip, it's like this...

One less opportunity.

After confirming that Beedrill was alright and its condition was gradually stabilizing, Xia Yan threw a Poké Ball at Greninja.

After the battle, he had confirmed that this Greninja was not only an Elite Four level Pokémon, but also had the "Alter" ability.

However, it seems that it hasn't fully developed its own characteristics, so it hasn't been able to utilize them effectively.

But it fell into Xia Yan's hands.

Putting aside other things.

Even if it doesn't need to fight, just by standing there providing the "Changeable" ability, allowing Pokémon like Alakazam to have a source of "role-playing" and "ability swapping," Xia Yan can maximize the effect of this ability.

Not to mention that this Greninja is by no means weak.

In addition, there's the three-headed dragon in Xia Yan's possession...

He wanted to try for the highest position in the Hunter's Guild.

Putting away the Poké Ball containing Greninja and calming down his various bold ideas and designs, Xia Yan finally took a slow step and walked towards the withered tree that Xerneas had transformed into while he was asleep.

rustling—

"Buyi!!"

Before he even got close, he saw that Eevee and the others looked like they'd seen a ghost.

around.

The vegetation that was destroyed during the battle between Beedrill and Greninja miraculously sprouted new branches and quickly became lush and green again.

Is this the power of the "God of Life"?

Xia Yan clicked his tongue in amazement.

I walked up to the dead tree.

The faint, refreshing fragrance that wafted towards him made Xia Yan feel relaxed and refreshed, and all the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days quietly dissipated.

Not only him, but all the elves felt the same way.

Xia Yan also composed himself, suppressing his various expressions and chaotic thoughts, and tried to connect with the Zygarde core on his back.

"Are you awake?"

As a result, the news disappeared without a trace.

She pursed her lips and looked at the withered tree.

Could it be...?

Should we try contacting Jernias first?

Hesitating.

Xia Yan reached out and placed his hand on the smooth, jade-like, withered tree, slowly closed his eyes, and released his superpower.

next second.

Holy crap!

Xia Yan's eyes snapped open, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and his back instantly becoming soaked.

He "saw" the "ultimate weapon" firing at him!

What do these mean?

Second Battalion Commander, bring up my Italian cannon!

Chapter 212 Traditional Strategies Win Hearts and Minds

Sweating profusely, Xia Yan subconsciously withdrew his hand.

He didn't know what Xerneas wanted to do by showing him this scene.

But he did indeed witness a scene from three thousand years ago.

That "ultimate weapon," a product of thousands of years of history, was created three thousand years ago; that flower, blooming like a crystal artifact, was a weapon built by the legendary King Az with the utmost resources of the entire nation.

Given the technology of the time, building such a weapon would have been absolutely enough to destroy the world.

of course.

The cost of driving it is also very high.

It requires a large amount of life energy.

Although Az's original intention in building this weapon was to resurrect his tragically deceased fairy, Flower Leaf.

In fact, he did succeed.

That flower petal stem became the Eternal Flower Petal Stem, and AZ thus gained an endless lifespan.

But later...

In retaliation for the wars that claimed Flowery's life, AZ transformed the "Ultimate Weapon" into a real weapon, causing immense casualties throughout the Carlos region.

Xia Yan learned about it through Xerneas's perspective.

When AZ first activated the "ultimate weapon" to revive Flower Leaf and grant himself an endless lifespan, he absorbed the life energy of countless elves.

To do this at such a cost can definitely be described as ruthless.

When he activated the "ultimate weapon" for the second time, he used Yveltal's power, causing horrific destruction and indirectly satisfying Yveltal's desires.

Only after that did Az realize his mistake.

What Xia Yan saw was the second occurrence of the "ultimate weapon" from Xerneas's perspective.

The terrifying destructive energy emitted from the center of that enormous, pure instrument, as beautiful as a lotus flower, greatly shocked him.

It terrified him, leaving him drenched in cold sweat.

and so.

Even though Xerneas is asleep, what it fears most is actually that "ultimate weapon".

This also illustrates the point.

At this moment, Xerneas is temporarily unconscious?

Having calmed himself down, Xia Yan rested his chin on his hand.

What should I do?

Xerneas is unconscious, Yveltal is reviving, and even Zygarde's core is now unconscious.

What's the point of finding the awakened Xerneas?

“Cha Ke Yi….”

Before Xia Yan could figure it out, Pokkis stared blankly at the withered tree.

It was only then that Tokis realized that the small horn on its head, which had become completely connected to it, originated from the withered tree in front of it.

Because after getting close.

The pointed horn on Tokiss's head also emitted a faint glow, just like the withered tree in front of it.

and.

It can still feel it.

The hazy, ethereal fairy energy was flowing into its body through this sharp horn.

Togekiss's Fairy-type has already awakened.

This fairy-type energy blended seamlessly with its own fairy-type energy without any discomfort or disruption.

as if.

These energies should naturally be the same as its own.

But the energy surging in was so great that Pokkis had to close his eyes and try to sense and control the surge of energy.

As he withdrew his hand and pondered what Xerneas wanted to tell him, Togekis's unusual behavior caught his attention.

"Pokkiss".

Xia Yan frowned and called out.

Seeing the glow emanating from the single horn among the feathers on its head, it was immediately realized that the "Horn of Xerneas" had created a connection with Xerneas, influencing Togekis.

And under such influence, the momentum of Pokekiss began to fluctuate, rise and fall, and decline.

This phenomenon only occurred when Togekiss advanced from the Gym Leader level to the Quasi-Elite Four level.

Xia Yan realized what was happening.

The life energy that Xerneas, who was unconsciously reviving, released was enough to change the appearance of this vast forest, benefiting countless elves as a result.

As Togekis possesses the "Horn of Xerneas," upon approaching this place, the "Horn of Xerneas," like Xerneas himself, experiences a "revival" from its slumber.

A large amount of life energy, mixed with rich fairy energy, was fed back to Togekiss.

This results in Pokekiss benefiting.

only.

Excessive intake of external energy is not entirely a good thing.

Growth is a gradual process.

However, like pulling up seedlings to help them grow, even if the intention is good, such behavior can turn into poison.

“Chocolate…”

Pokkis opened his eyes and spoke with difficulty.

Xia Yan's gaze softened, and he gently patted Togekiss's back, whispering, "Focus on dealing with these energies, leave the rest to me."
