Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Only Zeraora was the first legendary Pokémon that I truly captured, a legendary Pokémon with legendary strength, making it exceptionally significant.

Seeing that the two were bickering again, Gardevoir quickly tried to smooth things over and changed the subject, saying, "Gardevoir—(Didn't Zeraora just recover from its injuries? Is it really okay to put such a heavy responsibility on it?)"

Xia Chen was full of confidence and too lazy to explain. He simply pointed in the direction where Zeraora was located, his meaning clear—

You just need to learn it.

Sylveon, Gardevoir, and Milotic naturally looked up, following the direction Xia Chen pointed.

There, Zeraora charged at incredible speed towards a Guzzlord, and with a single punch, sent that monster, which was quite conspicuous even in front of the Ultra Cave, flying back into the cave.

The three children were stunned, feeling they needed to get to know Zeraora all over again.

They turned to look at Xia Chen, only to see their trainer nodding in satisfaction, muttering to himself, "Very good, we don't even need an Ultra Ball."

The three little ones: "......"

…………

The arrival of Rayquaza and Zeraora greatly reduced the pressure on Guruton.

Admittedly, none of the many Ultra Beasts posed a threat to it, but its overwhelming horde of Pokémon was truly overwhelming for Leton.

Originally, only one-fifth of the Ultra Beasts could be intercepted by Guruton; the rest escaped to the Alola region.

Now, only one-fifth of the Ultra Beasts can sneak into the Alola region, and the main credit goes not to Rayquaza, but to Zeraora.

It spared no expense in consuming energy, fully implementing Xia Chen's strategic plan. On average, for every Electric Beam it absorbed, it could send five Ultra Beasts back into the tunnel. It was practically a perpetual motion machine devoid of emotion.

Zeraora was also very excited at this moment, because it discovered that in this continuous process of consuming, charging, and consuming energy again, the total amount of Speed ​​Force in its body was increasing at a very stable rate.

Increased energy storage means increased "endurance". Imagine if the total amount can reach a certain level, it can use the Speed ​​Force without any worries throughout the entire battle.

And the legendary [infinite mass fist], which can unleash energy equivalent to a "white dwarf explosion", may no longer be an unattainable dream.

However, this is destined to be a long process. Right now, my Speed ​​Force limit is only one-third higher than when I first obtained it.

In addition to increasing the total limit, Zeraora also tried other uses for the Speed ​​Force in this battle.

For example, generating a shield sounds similar to the move you already know, "Protect," but in reality, the Speed ​​Force shield is much more practical than the energy shield created by Protect.

The most important point is that the energy shield that is protected cannot be controlled in its structure, and it must be formed in a form that completely envelops the entire body in 360 degrees.

The advantage is that it provides comprehensive protection, is not affected by the energy aftershocks of attacks, and can completely prevent sneak attacks from the shadows.

However, the downsides are also obvious: such a protective barrier consumes a lot of energy.

The shield generated by the Speed ​​Force is completely different. Not only is it stronger in terms of hardness and toughness, but its size and location are also entirely determined by Zeraora, resulting in much less energy loss.

While not as comprehensive as a barrier, Zeraora is confident in its reaction speed. Even if an enemy launches a surprise attack from behind, it can quickly generate a shield using its Speed ​​Force to intercept it.

…………

Zeraora's key experiment was on another effect of the Speed ​​Force, which is [speed transfer] as described in the "instruction manual".

The information indicates that it can use the Speed ​​Force to absorb the kinetic energy of other objects to increase its own speed, and vice versa.

However, the "instruction manual" only mentioned this one sentence, and Zeraora did not know how to operate it to achieve this effect.

Its first thought was naturally to release the Speed ​​Force directly at the subject. As a result, the unfortunate test subject was filled with the extremely high density of the Speed ​​Force's intense energy and was tortured terribly.

Zeraora then realized that the Speed ​​Force was an extremely corrosive and exclusive energy for other objects.

Fortunately, there wasn't much else outside the Ultra Cave, but there were plenty of Ultra Beasts. Zeraora kept adjusting and changing the way it released the Speed ​​Force, and finally found a way to absorb kinetic energy.

Ironically, the release methods of the kinetic energy absorption and ultimate absorption techniques are very similar. Both use energy to construct a channel between oneself and the opponent, except that the energy used to construct this channel is a special kind of speed force.

And the effect of this "move," which Zeraora temporarily labeled as [Kinetic Absorption], was unexpectedly powerful—

It can greatly increase its own speed, while the speed of the absorbed Pokémon will decrease accordingly.

The magnitude depends on the difference in strength between the two Pokémon. After many experiments, Zeraora concluded that when used on a Pokémon of similar strength, this difference is equivalent to using Agility twice!

Selfishness at the expense of others—what a powerful effect!

Although it won't cause direct harm, if used properly, this ability is definitely more effective than any enhancement move.

As far as Zeraora can think of right now, she'll first try kinetic energy absorption, then use an electric ball whose power is proportional to the speed difference...

hiss--

That intense soreness would probably be too much for most Pokémon of similar strength to handle, right?

As Zeraora's mastery of the Speed ​​Force grew, it became increasingly excited as it fought. Eventually, it even went to Rayquaza's side to "steal monsters," but fortunately, the Dragon God didn't seem to mind.

It came here partly to help Xia Chen, and partly to find a worthy opponent, such as the Eterna it encountered in Galar last time.

Unfortunately, although these ultimate beasts are incredibly powerful and ferocious, they are nothing but small fry in the eyes of the Dragon God. No matter how many small fry there are, they can't amount to much.

Not to mention that as time goes by, fewer and fewer Ultra Beasts are emerging from the Ultimate Hole.

…………

Xia Chen also noticed this.

A full hour had passed since he arrived, and the opening of the Ultimate Cave was still two and a half hours away.

This reminded him of his and Lusamine's initial prediction that the Ultimate Hole would last for two hours.

Although the subsequent Ultra Hole was far more exaggerated than they had imagined, this possibility could not be ruled out until the Ultra Hole completely disappeared.

So at this moment, looking at the dwindling number of Ultra Beasts and the Ultra Hole that remained unchanged for the time being, he fell into deep thought—

Should we go in now?

We will definitely enter the market; it's just a matter of time.

The best-case scenario, of course, is to finish all the affairs in Alola and then head to the Ultra World without any worries.

But he knew that there were still many Ultra Beasts ravaging the island, which was far from the ideal situation.

But with the arrival of foreign players, the remaining problems can be left to them.

Moreover, Lusamine had previously stated that the disappearance of the Ultimate Hole was without warning, just as it had been when it opened.

The only distinguishing feature is that, as the extinction process nears its end, fewer and fewer Ultra Beasts will emerge from the passage...

It perfectly matches the characteristics of the current Ultimate Cave!

With that in mind, Xia Chen no longer hesitated. He called out to Gu Leton, who had already started to lazily loaf around, "Gu Leton, go to Melemele Island and call Deoxys. We're getting ready to go to the Ultimate World!"

With Rayquaza in charge, and Cynthia and Gadria each possessing a legendary Pokémon, the aftermath of Alola's troubles can be easily handled by them. Therefore, Xia Chen plans to take Deoxys away.

Compared to staying here, Xia Chen needs it more to take him on a journey through the mysterious ultimate world.

Therefore, Leighton nodded, casually tossed a pile of stones back into the Ultimate Cave, and then turned and swooped down.

Rayquaza flew over curiously and asked, "Ultimate World? Is this rift connected to another world?"

Xia Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, it's also the hometown of these ruthless guys."

He glanced sideways at Lie Kongzuo and asked, "Is Lord Dragon God interested in that place?"

It honestly replied, "A little, but I can't leave Hoenn for too long, so I probably can't go with you."

Xia Chen said nonchalantly, "It's alright. You weren't part of my plan to begin with. It would be best if you could help me clean up the mess in Alola."

Lie Kong readily agreed, "No problem."

Then, it stammered, "Um...you have to be careful over there."

Xia Chen teased, "Is the Dragon God concerned about me? I'm truly flattered."

Rayquaza's golden dragon eyes narrowed slightly, and he said awkwardly, "You're overthinking it. I'm just worried about Milotic."

Its past "mentor-apprentice relationship" with Milotic has now become an excuse for cover-ups.

…………

Therefore, Leton and Deochis were very fast, and they had already returned by the time Xia Chen and Lie Kong were saying goodbye.

Xia Chen thought for a moment, then jumped onto Guleton's back and recalled all the other Pokémon back into their Poké Balls.

He was worried that something might happen while crossing the passage and that he would be separated from the other elves.

As for himself and Guleton, even if they were separated, Guleton should be able to survive well on his own, and he also has Deoxys and Zeraora, so self-preservation wouldn't be a problem.

After tidying everything up and bidding farewell to Liekongzuo, Xia Chen rode Guleton and rushed towards the deep and mysterious Ultimate Cave, completely disappearing from the space of this world.

Rayquaza silently watched Xia Chen and Gu Leton, who had completely disappeared from sight, before turning around and flying towards the Alola region.

Less than ten minutes after Xia Chen left, the mysterious rift that had been hanging in the sky over the Alola region for nearly three hours disappeared without any warning.

The situation on all four islands is now completely under control.

Since half an hour ago, fewer and fewer Ultra Beasts have appeared in the rift, and the Alola League and the Aether Foundation have also sent enough elite trainers to support them, so it was only a matter of time before the situation was brought under control.

There are no clear figures yet for the casualties and economic losses caused by this incident, but the horrific scenes captured by drones alone show that this was a very serious incident.

Among the most destructive Ultra Beasts, Guzzlord, Electrified Treecko, and Boomhead are undoubtedly the most destructive.

While Kamitsuki and Tekka Kaguya were quite destructive, their size, abilities, and personalities limited the severity of the consequences.

In short, when most of the Ultra Beasts were contained in the Ultra Sphere and the mysterious rift in the sky suddenly disappeared, everyone in the world who was following the event breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows what this world would be like if that rift had remained open and continued to send powerful and ferocious Ultra Beasts outwards.

Perhaps local legendary elves will drive them away, but before that, human society will definitely have to go through a catastrophe.

While most people were cheering for the disappearance of the Ultimate Hole, a few people in the Ether Paradise were quite shocked.

They were shocked not only by the disappearance of the Ultimate Cave, but also by Xia Chen's vanishing along with it...

Chapter 514 Ultimate Metropolis!

"Xia Chen went to the Ultimate World?"

Many people ask this question, but their tones and emotions vary.

Steven and Michael, who had just arrived, were filled with a mixture of worry and curiosity. It was impossible for trainers like them, with their strong desire to explore, not to be interested in such a dangerous and mysterious world.

Lusamine, who had just finished dealing with the Ultra Beast incident, was even more agitated. She had been lying low for so many years, done so much, and made such a big commotion, all for the sake of going to the Ultimate World.

That guy had said he'd take me there after this incident was over.

fraud!
