Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

...In the ancient times, the ancestors who lived on this land once faced such desperate scenes.

No, the scene they faced was much more desperate than it is now. What kind of mood were they in at that time when they stood before the two gods?

"Gardevoir, Sylveon... do you have a way to send telekinesis over?"

Lowe clenched the Z-Crystal and Key Stone in his hands, however, Gardevoir looked embarrassed, and the ribbon that Sylveon wrapped around Lowe's wrist also revealed a helpless aura.

They don't have any good solution...

...There is no way around it. After all, they are still just ordinary Pokémon. Facing the power of legendary Pokémon, they are ultimately powerless.

“…Let’s give it a try.”

Lowe's gaze turned to the huge waves over there. Milotic was still shuttling through the waves. She did not give up and resolutely charged towards the terrifying whirlpool.

From her mouth, azure blue light spewed out, but it was meaningless... Even the Ice Queen Kona, who could freeze the giant waves of ice missiles... would probably be powerless in the face of this scene...

Milotic is very powerful, but it is obviously impossible to be stronger than the Pokémon cultivated by the Four Heavenly Kings. Facing this situation, it can only be futile...

...Although the sprayed freezing ray successfully froze a part of the sea water, it was shattered by the surging whirlpool in an instant, and skills such as water cannon could not penetrate the whirlpool at all.

In addition, the skills mastered by Milotic are more inclined towards defense, and she herself is also a semi-defense specialized Pokémon.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to move freely in such a storm. The problem was that this powerful defense gave her the confidence to move back and forth freely here, but it did not give her the strength to break through this desperate situation.

After several rounds of conflict, even she... was no longer able to face the might of the God of the Sea.

Of course she could choose to escape. With her ability... at least she could escape before the big whirlpool formed.

But in order to rescue the affected Pokémon, she would rather put herself in danger. If she continues like this, once the whirlpool is formed, she will not be able to escape.

“… Trouble.”

Lowe tried several times to break through with his telekinesis, but the invisible telekinesis could not penetrate the whirlpool at all. As more and more whirlpools merged together, the terrifying whirlpool was about to take shape.

"..."

If they can't find a way to stop it before the whirlpool is fully formed, Lowe himself might be affected.

The Z-moves infused with ultimate power, coupled with the power of mega evolution, still seem to be not enough to break through the vortex caused by the power of the legendary Pokémon.

What should I do……

"…Rowe the Kid"

At this thrilling moment, old man Hatch on the side suddenly spoke.

“…There’s nothing I can do now. I can only try my best. If possible, I’ll use the ultimate secret inherited from the Island of Awakening!”

"what?"

After hearing this, Lowe was also stunned. What is the ultimate secret of the Island of Awakening?

At that time, old man Hachi, President Zfuchi, and Genji formed a fleet and challenged the most mysterious Whirlpool Island in the Hoenn region. In the end, they successfully overcame all difficulties and landed on the island and met the super ancient survivors living on this island.

These ancient survivors inherited three powerful ultimate secrets, and the environment of the Great Whirlpool Island was a test for selecting successors. The three people who landed on the island inherited the three secrets...

Among them, President Zfuchi obtained the secret of water and gave it to Daigo, who then gave it to his good friend Mikoli...

Genji obtained the secret of fire, and not long ago, he passed it on to Xiaoyao...

...Finally, there is the secret of grass that old man Hatch obtained. He has never found a suitable successor. Old man Hatch had mentioned this matter before. He originally wanted to wait until things here were over before passing it on to Lowe.

At this moment, it seems that the situation is a bit out of control, so...

"…Try it. I will teach you the ultimate secret!"

Chapter 220 Hardened Plants

"Is the secret passed down here?"

Although learning skills in the game does require only a skill machine, and then 1, 2... your Pokémon can learn new skills.

However, a skill like the Ultimate Secret doesn't sound like one that can be learned in a few seconds, and since it is a skill passed down by the super ancient people, there shouldn't be something as convenient as a skill machine.

"It's true that there are no skill machines, but here is this..."

Old man Hatch reached out his hand and took out a diamond-shaped crystal from his pocket, which stunned Lowe...

"...Hey, why does this thing look familiar?"

That's right, the shape of this diamond-shaped crystal looks like pure crystal no matter how you look at it, but if you look closely, you will find that there are indeed considerable differences between them.

This crystal is not a completely regular rhombus. It has a two-layer structure inside. It looks like two layers of rhombuses at different angles are nested together, forming an overlapping posture.

This thing shouldn't be Z-pure crystal, but it does look more than 70% similar to Z-pure crystal.

(Could it be that this so-called ultimate secret is related to Z moves and ultimate power?)

Of course, if you understand it simply in the literal sense, the Ultimate Secret and the Ultimate Power do sound like they have some kind of inheritance relationship. So, could it be that the group of super ancient survivors are actually the survivors from the Alola region, and the so-called Ultimate Secret is actually a variant of some kind of Ultimate Power?

Of course, no matter what, there is no answer to this by thinking about it now, or you can visit the super ancient survivors on the Great Whirlpool Awakening Island later.

After all, the super ancient survivors in the Hoenn region should be divided into two main groups. One is the Meteor People who believe in the God of the Sky and sealed the Twin Gods of Hoenn.

Another branch is the ancestors of the main residents of the current Hoenn region, that is, the super ancient people who once believed in the Hoenn Twin Gods. The sacrificial rituals for the Hoenn Twin Gods passed down by these super ancient people have evolved into the current clan of Sending the Gods to Volcano.

Apart from these two groups of super ancient remnants, I have never heard of the existence of a third group of super ancient remnants. If the remnants on the Island of Awakening came from other regions, that would make sense.

Different regions in the Pokémon world are equivalent to different countries. Even in the ancient times, there was sufficient communication between human kingdoms that mastered the power of Pokémon. It is indeed possible that people from other regions stayed in the Hoenn region with the power from other regions and left behind their heritage.

In any case, when Lowe saw the crystal that was suspected to be Z-pure crystal in old man Hatch's hand, he felt that it looked familiar. To be honest, whether it was Z-pure crystal or key stone, they all existed in the form of crystals, which was quite similar in a sense.

After all, even if the power comes from different gods, the source is ultimately the god of creation, Arceus, so it is normal to have similarities.

"This is……"

Lowe carefully stretched out his hand and took the crystal from old man Hatch. The moment Lowe's fingers touched the crystal, a brilliant light burst out from the crystal.

"Oh..."

At this moment, Lowe still maintained his ultimate power and mega evolution. It seemed that this crystal had produced some corresponding call with the ultimate power in Lowe, which caused the crystal to change.

"Sure enough, it's just as the old man thought. Lowe boy... you seem to have been 'recognized'!"

Did it recognize Lowe's strength, or did the crystal itself recognize the ultimate power in Lowe, and thus resonate with the power that came from the same source?

No matter what, in this situation, it doesn’t matter. The key is whether we can overcome the difficulties ahead…

While he was thinking this, the crystal suddenly turned into a stream of light, but it did not fly towards Lowe, but flew directly towards the Masked Cat next to him.

Since the beginning, Masked Cat could only stand by and worry. After all, she didn't have as strong telekinesis as Gardevoir and the others... and couldn't affect the whirlpool from a distance.

Therefore, she could only stay by Lowe's side to protect his safety, but she could not offer any help in the current situation...

At this moment, the crystal flew over. The Masked Cat, which had already had this experience once, simply stretched out its claws... and held the crystal steadily in its hand.

At the same time, the Z-pure crystal that was originally fused to the Masked Cat also emerged at this moment. The two crystals seemed to resonate and merged into a complete crystal in an instant...

On the ordinary Z crystal, two sharp corners formed multiple snowflake-like structures, and then disappeared on the body of Masked Cat...

“…Let’s give it a try!”

Lowe calmed down. Judging from the current situation, Masked Cat has inherited the ultimate secret. As for whether he can successfully display it, he can only know by trying...

Masked Cat did not hesitate, nodded, and then cooperated and started to prepare...

“…It’s about to happen!”

As Lowe roared, golden flames burst out from his body again, and the flames continued to merge towards the Masked Cat...

...And Masked Cat also raised its head at the same time, and its whole body burst into emerald green light!

The three ultimate secrets passed down in the Hoenn region correspond to the three skills of the three elements of water, fire, and grass...

That's one of them, the so-called...

"…hardened plants!"

The emerald green light surged in an instant. The next second, the vortex was covered by the light. From the light... a large area of ​​hard plant roots that looked like vines actually grew out in an instant...

It was obvious that the rhizomes of these plants had no root connections at all, and they were completely like rootless trees growing out of thin air. However, under the blessing of the ultimate power, these vines actually spread madly towards the entire whirlpool in one breath!

The huge whirlpool that stretched for more than dozens of miles was unable to completely swallow the vine...

The ever-spreading roots created a huge green sphere on the sea surface, wrapping and protecting all the Pokémon trapped in the whirlpool along with most of the sea water!

The overwhelming plant roots seemed to be splitting off a portion of the seawater in this area, forcibly separating it and taking it away...

Naturally, seeing this scene, both Lowe and old man Hatch couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, this effect is a bit scary, right?"

However, the vortex was not broken up, and the rainstorm above was getting more and more intense. The green field constructed by the hardened plants could only provide temporary protection and was not enough to break the seal...

...But at this moment, something that had been in Lowe's backpack for a long time and had not moved suddenly burst into a golden light.

Chapter 221 Two Gods Can't Make Up a Tube of Blood

"Huh?"

Lowe was a little surprised...a warm current came from his backpack, instantly dispelling the chill brought by the heavy rain and strong wind that seemed to penetrate into his bones.

At first, Lowe couldn't remember what this thing was, but soon the answer came to his mind.

(The Sun Flute? Why would this thing react now?)

This was something that Lillie gave to Lowe when they first met, with the original intention of hoping that Lowe would preserve this important ancient relic.

Lillie didn't say clearly where this thing came from at first. Later, according to Lillie's confession, she took this thing out with her when she fled the Aether Foundation with Little Nebula.

It seems that this thing is related to the ancient legend of the Alola region. Like the small nebula, it is also an important key to open the Ultimate Cave...

...So, when Liliae took this secret treasure, the research of the Aether Foundation was affected to a considerable extent, and they have been looking for Liliae ever since.

Not only to retrieve the Little Nebula, but also to retrieve the Sun Flute.

Lowe knew that the Sun Flute was related to the Sun and Moon Gods of the Alola region, but the question was why this thing suddenly changed. Could it be due to the influence of the Ultimate Power?

It is true that the ultimate power comes from the Sun and Moon Gods, and is what the Sun and Moon Gods originally brought to this world from another world. And if the ultimate mystery is also related to the ultimate power, then it is possible that a resonance may occur.

So in this situation, what use can the Sun Flute be of?

"...I'll have to ask Mr. Hatch to keep the next matter confidential."

Lowe said this to old man Hatch beside him. The old man was stunned for a moment, but immediately nodded affirmatively, "No problem, do whatever you want to do as soon as possible, we probably won't be able to hold out for much longer here."
