Chapter 858: Huge Gain: Full Set of Z Pure Crystals!_1

Z-Moves are divided into two types.

The first type utilizes the Universal Z Crystals.

For instance, the Super Extreme Flame Bomb and the Supreme Psychic Destruction Wave used by Eevee are considered Universal Z Moves.

Any Pokémon can use these moves as long as it carries the corresponding Attribute Z Crystal.

The second type is Exclusive Z Moves.

Exclusive Z Moves can only be used by specific Pokémon species that carry a specific Z Crystal and use a particular base move.

For example, if Eevee carries the Eevee Z, specially made by the Guardian Deities, it could use "Multicolored Ascend Gather Top," a move that surely wouldn't be allowed in an official competition since it involves calling upon 8 Eevee evolutions to boost its strength.

Exclusive Z are essentially Z Moves prepared by the Guardian Deities for a specific Pokémon species.

Even in the original story, the quantity of Exclusive Z Crystals is few and far between.

Compared to Attribute Z Crystals, they are rarer because they are harder for the Guardian Deities to create.

If it's not a very special situation, they will not give away Exclusive Z or help ordinary Pokémon develop Exclusive Z Moves.

Besides Exclusive Z Moves prepared for a certain Pokémon species, there is actually another special type of Exclusive Z Move.

That is the Z Move prepared for a specific individual Pokémon.

The Pikachu Exclusive Z Move "Pika Papow" is a great move that most Pikachus can use.

However, "Ten million volts," the Exclusive Z Move that requires Z-Pika, can only be used by Xiaozhi's very own.

Rather than the name Exclusive Z Move, Fang Yuan prefers to call it "Specific Z Move."

Without a doubt, the performance of Z Moves specially prepared for a single Pokémon is much stronger than that of normal Exclusive Z Moves.

Fang Yuan's Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, by merely mastering a blue lightning infused with both Electromagnetic Force and Mental Power, has already gained a notable strength.

And "Ten million volts," a move that encompasses 9 different powers within shiny lightning, must be immensely powerful.

So now, Fang Yuan is curious. When the Guardian Deities asked if he had plans to develop Exclusive Z Moves, did they mean the common species-specific Exclusive Z Move, or did they refer to a Specific Z Move like "Ten million volts," prepared for a particular Pokémon?

"If possible, please guide us in developing an Exclusive Z Move, we would be grateful."

Fang Yuan glanced at Eevee, then looked up and said to the four Guardian Deities.

Whether it's an ordinary Exclusive Z or a Specific Z, either would be a terrific move, definitely worth learning.

It was just a question of whether the Guardian Deities would be willing to teach...

"Kapu~!"

After receiving Fang Yuan's response, the Kapus nodded to each other.

Fang Yuan had already shown his talent in using Z Moves, so they didn't mind teaching him more.

"Kapu!! (Then let's learn Exclusive Z Moves as well, but some Pokémon are naturally suited to learn Exclusive Z Moves, and some are not. We cannot help you develop Exclusive Z Moves for every single one of your Pokémon.)"

Tapu Koko stated.

Since helping other Pokémon develop Exclusive Moves would exhaust their strength significantly, they could only help develop skills for a select few of Fang Yuan's Pokémon that were suitable for learning Exclusive Z Moves.

They wouldn't teach those without much talent for learning Exclusive Z Moves.

Doing so would be a waste of both Fang Yuan's time and their energy and time.

Even though hard learning could eventually lead to mastery, the cost would be too great for both Fang Yuan's Pokémon and the Guardian Deities.

They also had to prepare for the island pilgrimage and cultivate the Island Kings. They couldn't spend all their time on Fang Yuan.

"Thank you," Fang Yuan said.

He naturally understood the Guardian Deities' point of view.

It was already nice of them to help, and it was unrealistic to expect every Pokémon to have its own Exclusive Move.

However... Exclusive Moves...

Eevee surely had the potential for such a move. As for Fang Yuan's other Pokémon, he wasn't certain.

Mane Rock Werewolf might also be possible, since in the original story it could learn "Z-move: Splintered Stormshards," its Exclusive Move.

What's more, before coming here, Dream specifically asked Fang Yuan to bring Mane Rock Werewolf, which suggested that it might benefit from this trip.

"Even if only Eevee gains a new Exclusive Move, that would still be a major gain."

After clarifying everything, the Island Protectors left.

They planned to begin teaching Fang Yuan Z Moves in an hour and asked him to wait while they made preparations.

"Kapu~!"

However, before leaving, Tapu Koko suddenly asked Fang Yuan to keep the island pilgrimage plans secret for the time being. They preferred to announce it after they had chosen the four Island Kings.

They did not want to see trainers entering the Secret Location with a strong utilitarian intention of becoming Island Kings.

As for promoting Z Moves and the island pilgrimage after the representative Island Kings had been selected, that wouldn't be a problem as the Island Kings and Overlord Pokémon would be there to test newcomers.

"Uh, okay," Fang Yuan nodded.

He had been considering inviting Jiang Li, Su Shu, and others to try it out. Although the restrictions after becoming Island Kings were significant, it was still a chance to connect with the Legendary Pokémon. But now it seemed best to forget that idea.

He mustn't cheat, must not cheat, mustn't cheat!

Yet, telling Shang Ren about the existence of the Guardian Deities and the need to take an unusual path after entering, did that already count as cheating...?

Probably not...

After all, he hadn't revealed that the Guardian Deities had plans to pick Island Kings...

As Fang Yuan pondered this, the Guardian Deities had already disappeared.

.........

An hour later.

Still on that unnamed solitary island.

Fang Yuan decided to wait there for the return of the Guardian Deities.

Actually, they returned in less than an hour.

Meanwhile, Fang Yuan had called out all the Pokémon he had brought with him.

One team consisted of Eevee and the other five main forces, and the second team was the nursery group, which included Venusaur, Ditto, Rotom, Klink, and Mane Rock Werewolf.

Twelve Pokémon in total.

There were also the Legendary Pokémon Darkrai and Victini.

Fang Yuan's lineup consisted of a total of fourteen Pokémon at this moment.

Currently, every one of Fang Yuan's Pokémon was eager to try.

In this past hour, Fang Yuan had told them about an important opportunity that was coming their way—a chance to grow significantly stronger!

Let's set aside the universal Z Moves for now. Every Pokémon had the chance to master them, as long as Fang Yuan was willing to cooperate; even Rotom could use Z Moves.

However, the chance to learn an Exclusive Z Move was much rarer.

Exclusive moves... those are the trademark of Legendary Pokémon!

Darkrai and Victini might not care since they already have their own exclusive moves, but Monferno, Dragonite, and the others, were slightly tempted.

I mean... just hearing "exclusive moves" sounds awesome.

Wait a bit, and see who gets the chance to learn the Exclusive Z Moves based on the Guardian Deities' selection.

"Kapu..."

"Nana..."

"Dada..."

"Jiji..."

The appointed time arrived.

After the Tapus arrived, Tapu Koko first glanced at the Pokémon behind Fang Yuan, then handed over the items they had prepared over this period to him.

"Kapu!!"

With a growl from Tapu Koko, eighteen Z Crystals of varying colors floated from behind it to the front of Fang Yuan.

"This is." Seeing the full set of Z Crystals, Fang Yuan was ecstatic.

Now... I'm truly invincible.

Meeting a Fire Type Guardian God? I'll just unleash a Water Series Z Move. When confronting a Water Series Guardian God, I'll hit them with an Electric Z Move.

I have the moves to counter your type, and paired up with Victini, I'm simply unbeatable.

After delivering the Z Crystals to Fang Yuan, the Guardian Deities had completed a small part of their task.

If Fang Yuan wanted to learn the Z Moves of all types, then they would provide him with the full set of Z Crystals.

But now, there's a small problem. These Z Crystals would shatter after one use, and if Fang Yuan wanted to keep using them, even potentially Exclusive Z Moves, they would need to help him strengthen his current bracelet.

It must be said, the Z-Ring Fang Yuan made himself was too crude; it couldn't perfectly fit with the Z Crystals.

"Kapu!! (We will reinforce your Luminous Stone Bracelet for you.)"

"Eh." "Bwoo!!" Just as Fang Yuan received a pile of Z Crystals and was about to thank the Tapus, his wristband burst into light and detached itself from his wrist.

Then, under the extremely astonished gazes of Fang Yuan, Eevee, and the other Pokémon... the bracelet was eaten by Tapu Koko.

It wasn't so much eaten as Tapu Koko, by closing the shells on its back, gulped it into its embrace.

At this time... a strange BGM began to play.

The other Island Protectors accompanied Tapu Koko with a chorus...

"Kapu~~!!" "Kapu~~!!" "Kapu~~!!"

The next second, Tapu Koko started swaying left and right, jumping up and down.

It danced an awkward dance, resembling a shamanistic ritual, with electricity spreading from its body.

Amplification successful, Z-Ring level +1.

*Puff*

Having strengthened it, Tapu Koko spat the Z-Ring back out and tossed it over to Tapu Lele.

Next up was Tapu Lele, which commenced a similar shamanistic dance. It swallowed the bracelet with a body resembling an insect's cocoon, then used Scale Powder to enchant it with power.

"Nana~~" "Nana~" "Nana~~"

Amplification successful, Z-Ring level +1.

*Puff...*

Later on, the other two Guardian Deities used the same method to enchant and enhance Fang Yuan's bracelet.

This method of enhancement made Eevee and the other Pokémon face-palm in disbelief.

It was too much!

Only Dragonite seemed to be contemplatively nodding its head, appreciating the dance.

It thought the dance... was not bad.

After about a minute, the Island Protectors used their power to thoroughly enhance Fang Yuan's Z-Ring.

Then, the Z-Ring flew back onto Fang Yuan's wrist.

The Key Stone was still embedded in it; however, compared to before, its reverse side now had an extra spot for setting a Z Crystal, truly realizing a dual-purpose ring.

Moreover, after the enchantment by the Island Protectors, the power of the Luminous Stone seemed to have increased as well.

Fang Yuan could clearly feel that his Super Z-Ring had now become extraordinary.

If it had been merely a blank piece of equipment before, it was now a +4 enhanced Legendary Artifact.

It glistened with golden light.

"Thanks, everyone."

Fang Yuan shook his new Z-Ring, feeling pretty cool.

In the story, Xiaozhi's Z-Ring was also strengthened this way, so that Xiaozhi could use Solgaleo Z and Z-Pika.

Now I can do the same.

He couldn't wait to try out the effects of the Z Moves of other types.

But before that, there was something even more important.

Fang Yuan looked at the row of Pokémon like Eevee standing before him, and the Island Protectors in the sky observing them, and asked, "May I ask, how do we determine if they're suitable to learn the Exclusive Z Moves?"
