Chapter 465 Sylveon Z, get daze!
October 6th, Thursday.
A few days have passed since the Ice Attribute Master Tournament ended.
Even the contestants have long since returned to their daily lives, and the Alola region is gradually returning to peace.
However, Qingyu reappeared on Meilemeile Island today.
The reason is simple—
He had previously made a promise with Tapu Koko: he had completed the mission of assisting in the extermination of Ultra Beasts, and it would naturally help him create a special Z-Crystal.
A Z-Card that has never been discovered before, exclusively for Sylveon.
Because they had agreed to pick it up in half a month, Qingyu took a few extra days off in the Alola region to enjoy the exotic atmosphere of this island.
However, after learning about his agreement with the island's guardian deity, Professor Kukui, an expert in Z-Moves, immediately became restless.
"The fact that a custom Z-Move can be created using a blank Z-Crystal—if we could figure out the mechanism behind it, it would be a major breakthrough in the research of Z-Moves!"
"Not only can all eighteen types of Z-Moves be mass-produced, but with enough materials, each trainer can even develop their own unique Z-Move!"
Dr. Kukui was incredibly excited as he walked toward the war relics.
It was because of this thought that he took the initiative to ask to visit Tapu Koko with him after Aoba mentioned this matter.
"However, it seems only the island's guardian deity possesses the ability to hand-craft Z-Crystals, right?"
Halfway there, Qingyu suddenly turned around and replied to him.
In his mind, Z-Moves and Ultimate Aura are essentially related to the energy emitted by Necrozma, the God of Light. Without the ability to control this power, humans simply cannot create Z-Crystals.
Even the island's guardian deities did not originally possess this power. It was only after they lost to the Sun and Moon Gods in ancient times that they were granted the power to control the ultimate aura.
It's not surprising that Solgaleo and Lunala can freely use the Ultimate Aura, as they already have close ties with Necrozma and can even "merge" with it to form a completely new form.
The Z-pure crystals discovered by humans are almost entirely generated by this land itself, so the yield is very unstable.
The gift Professor Kukui gave him as a thank you for his role as a commentator in Alola—a complete set of Z-type items with all attributes—was already considered the highest level of treatment available in the region.
"That's hard to say."
Dr. Kukui only smiled mysteriously at Qingyu's question, then looked up and sighed.
"A hundred years ago, humanity could not have imagined that our technology would develop to this level in the near future."
"The world has never lacked geniuses. Perhaps sooner or later we will understand all the principles that make up the world and integrate them into our lives."
"However—you are right about one thing: we do not yet have the ability to produce Z-Crystals."
"That's why I'm curious about that Sylveon Z-Move you commissioned Tapu Koko!"
Dr. Kukui laughed heartily, making no attempt to hide his thoughts.
Qingyu simply nodded, unsurprised.
In the Pokémon world, most humans are indeed very easy to understand and speak without beating around the bush.
It seems like I always manage to get along with them very easily?
This was the case when I met Leon at the Isle of Armor Dojo, when I encountered Steven in the Padilla Mines, and even when I only met Professor Kukui a few times.
After the two crossed the wooden ladder and arrived at the war ruins, Tapu Koko immediately appeared before them.
"I've resolved the Ultra Beast invasion incident on Akara Island. Shouldn't it be almost over by now?"
Qingyu got straight to the point, smiling as he spoke to Tapu Koko.
Tapu Koko nodded, clearly sensing what had happened on Akara Island, or having heard Tapu Lele mention it.
Since it's a transaction, I will naturally keep my promise.
Tapu Koko telepathically communicated with Tapu Koko, and then its statue-like arms unfolded, revealing bird-beak shaped fingers.
Qingyu immediately noticed the Z-pure crystal it was holding in its hand.
It still has a smooth rhombus shape, but the color has changed compared to the Eevee Z that was given to it before. The color has turned into a light pink, which is somewhat similar to Fairy Z.
"Is this Sylveon Z?"
Dr. Kukui blinked, looking somewhat excited.
"This is a brand new Z-Crystal that has never appeared before. Does this mean that other Pokémon can also acquire their own unique Z-Moves?"
Tapu Koko only glanced at him without saying a word, then quickly turned his gaze back to Qingyu and shook his arm.
Its meaning is obvious:
Let's take it and try it out first.
Qingyu nodded, took it, and carefully felt the surging energy contained within it in her palm.
"According to the agreement, the technique engraved in this Z-Crystal should be sketching?"
While thinking to himself, he took a Poké Ball out of his pocket with his other hand and immediately pulled the trigger.
"Buee~"
Sylveon made its appearance and landed lightly, then immediately noticed Tapu Koko not far away.
It looks so familiar!
That's right, it's that guy that looks a bit like the Milton in the gym!
Feeling the faint electric current and tingling sensation coming from under her feet, Sylveon shuddered and immediately remembered seeing it half a month ago.
"Give it a try, Aoba!"
Dr. Kukui urged him on somewhat excitedly, while also offering a reminder.
"Although I heard that you have experience using Z-Moves before, Z-Moves are very complex, especially when using a completely new move that no one has ever used before."
"Without a strong bond of absolute trust in each other, it might take a lot of time just to find the right dance moves."
""
Qingyu was stunned.
He hadn't thought of this before, but the fact that the Z-Move requires a dance sequence to maximize the activation of the Ultimate Aura is indeed the underlying logic of this world.
Therefore, there are obviously no other people's guides to copy for the exclusive Z-Moves that I and Sylveon have, so I can only figure them out on my own.
But the problem shouldn't be too big, right?
After all, Ash didn't seem to have studied how to dance before using Ash-Pikachu Z. His most distinctive move was handing his hat to Pikachu and letting it wear it.
To call this a "full-force stance" is a bit of a stretch.
""
Therefore, everything will fall into place naturally, and the ultimate aura will surely respond.
Qingyu then nodded to Sylveon without further hesitation.
He already has Z-Crystals and Z-Bracelets, so he can just try them out at the War Relics.
"Buyi!"
Given the bond he has with Sylveon, even before he speaks, Sylveon already understands his thoughts and immediately prepares to use its moves.
A warm feeling surged through Qingyu's heart. Then, he spread his feet apart, stood in a standing posture, and closed his eyes.
"Based on my previous experience using Z-Moves, I should first feel the Ultimate Aura flowing through the Full Power Z-Ring and unleash the energy from the Z-Crystal."
While recalling the details of when he used Eevee Z, Qingyu gripped his right wrist.
The essence of the ultimate aura is light, so as the Z-crystal in his palm gradually began to shine, a burning sensation came from his wrist.
This feeling—it's like I'm about to transform at any moment—
"Just a link—forget it, you can't say that!"
Qingyu mentally complained and then increased the power of introducing the ultimate aura into the bracelet.
Originally, in the Padia region, he didn't actually need this step to use Z-Moves.
Because his bracelet is made by Alpaca, it can still be used even without the ultimate aura.
However, since we're already here, we should naturally adapt to local customs and strive to unleash the full power of our moves.
"Buee~"
Sylveon followed Qingyu's example, immediately closing its eyes and focusing intently on sensing the energy emanating from its trainer.
But for some reason, after half a minute, it didn't seem to sense any change.
"Bu-i?"
Sylveon turned around and looked at its trainer with some confusion, only to find that he seemed to be immersed in his own world and hadn't thought about using a Z-Move to embed the Z Crystal into the Z-Ring!
No wonder I couldn't feel it earlier —
Sylveon snorted in dissatisfaction, then patted the trainer's shoulder and gently wrapped the ribbon around his arm with a little force.
Reminded by it, Qingyu finally realized what it meant and blushed.
It's because I haven't used it for so long that I've forgotten the correct way to use it!
I made a mistake, let's try again!
This time, Qingyu was fully prepared and struck a cool pose. As he raised his right arm, he also made a peace sign with two fingers of his left hand, tracing the shape of the Z Crystal, and shouted, "Catch my power, Sylveon!"
"Buyi!"
Sylveon gave a strong and resounding response, and then both of them and their Pokémon shone with golden light.
"It's coming!"
Dr. Kukui, who had been waiting quietly to the side, exclaimed in surprise.
The Z Crystal, unlike anything ever seen before, and the brand-new Z-Moves that no one has ever used before, will demonstrate their unique power here!
As for Tapu Koko beside him, he maintained his calm gaze, staring at Aoba, who was radiating ultimate aura energy and shining brightly.
As per his request, this exclusive Z-Crystal was not chosen to enhance the power of moves, but rather to focus on "versatility".
While it perfectly suits the sketching technique, giving this signature Z move endless possibilities, however—
The difficulty will increase accordingly when using it.
Therefore, even for the messenger of the creator god, it would be extremely difficult to master this Z-Crystal on the first use.
After assuming the starting stance for the full-power pose, feeling the surge of power coursing through her body, Qingyu immediately exclaimed, "Sylveon, this is a move unique to us!"
Its name is—
""
"A dream of illusion and fleeting beauty, a dream from which there is no return!"
"Buyi!"
Qingyu hadn't actually thought of the name for this move beforehand; he just blurted it out instinctively.
Moreover—as soon as he opened his mouth, his body instinctively began to move, and he quickly broke into an impromptu street dance.
Guided by the "Full Power Pose," his originally exposed Ultimate Aura was gradually transferred into the Z Crystal and Z Power Bracelet, and then guided into Sylveon's body.
Of course, this alone is far from enough—
As a member of the Eevee family, even after it has fully evolved, Sylveon should still have the ability to integrate into the "Eevee Network".
Having already experienced borrowing the power of Eevee from all over the world, Sylveon instinctively let out a shout this time as well.
The sound traveled across space, spreading at an incredibly terrifying speed throughout the Alola islands and even the world.
In a warehouse of a value supermarket in the Alora region, a sales clerk suddenly looked up, seemingly sensing something.
"Are they asking for help again? —"
"Seriously, remember to pay me back double next time!"
The various Eevee creatures behind him did the same thing.
Clusters of energy were sent out from all over the world and quickly arrived above the war ruins, gradually gathering above Sylveon's head.
After absorbing the power of Eevee from all over the world, Sylveon's aura suddenly surged and quickly broke through its limits, reaching a level that even Tapu Koko was somewhat dumbfounded by.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Tapu Koko's head, making it momentarily doubtful—
Is this still a Z-Move? Something doesn't feel right.
"Buee!!!"
Once the energy had accumulated to its limit, Sylveon let out another roar, and at the same time, it quietly unleashed its Z-Move.
There was nothing fancy about it; it was just a clear, clean mass of energy suspended in the air, with a slight pinkish tinge due to the characteristics of the fairy skin.
Dr. Kukui glanced at it and then suddenly realized that he was in the ruins of war just a second ago, and in the blink of an eye he was in the place he could never forget.
The road to the Kanto championship ten years ago.
And the Dragon King Awatari, known as the "Strongest Dragon Tamer," had already appeared in front of him, giving him a somewhat mocking smile.
"Is this... a dream?"
Dr. Kukui was stunned and subconsciously began to observe himself.
He could feel that his mind was perfectly clear, but he couldn't see any flaws in his opponent or the playing field.
In other words, relying solely on one's willpower might not be enough to leave this place.
But this is for the best.
Because he never intended to leave this place in the first place!
"If it were me now, I might be able to rewrite the ending of that decisive battle ten years ago!"
With that in mind, Professor Kukui no longer hesitated and immediately took a Poké Ball out of his pocket and threw it.
"Go, Blazing Roaring Tiger!"
"Even if it's a dream, let's unleash our full power!"
Remnants of war.
Half an hour had passed since Sylveon used its Z-Move, and Qingyu had already recalled Sylveon.
Sylveon's Z-Move was undoubtedly used successfully, and it even borrowed the power of other Eevee's Pokémon to evolve its Sketch move to an incredibly terrifying level.
However----
However, a small problem has arisen.
When will these two wake up?
Looking at Tapu Koko and Dr. Kukui lying motionless on the ground not far away, seemingly immersed in a dream, Aoba couldn't help but feel a little scared.
So sketching can really go a step further and create an illusion-like effect, causing the opponent to lose their ability to fight?
Wouldn't that make me invincible in open-world battles from now on?
With just one Z-move, the entire opposing team will be rendered incapable of fighting, leaving them completely at his mercy.
Even in a formal competition, it's pretty absurd to think that you can take down a Pokémon with a single move!
