Chapter 857: Exclusive Z-Move?_1

After Fang Yuan, Eevee, and Victini finished their performance, the Four Island Guardian Deities felt their mentalities collapsing.

They looked at Fang Yuan and the others with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

Initially, their respect for Fang Yuan was solely because of his status as the World Tree Guardian.

But now, they had begun to respect him due to the abilities he demonstrated.

Without the Z-Pure Crystals, even they would find it difficult to perform continuous Instantaneous Z-Moves.

The Four Island Guardian Deities looked at Fang Yuan, Eevee, and Victini in astonishment.

They could tell that the combination they had just seen required all three of them.

Fang Yuan's power was one of the keys to instantly generating Z-Moves by connecting Eevee and the Brilliant Stone.

And that Eevee, having mastered the use of Light Energy, could directly harness Nature's Energy to use Z-Moves without the need for Z-Pure Crystals, which was also key for Instantaneous Z-Moves.

The appearance of this ability in an Eevee seemed preposterous to the Guardian Deities.

Though they themselves could achieve this, it had taken them decades of prolonged training to do so.

In an instant, the Guardian Deities had a thought... this Eevee's talent and potential was no less than their own.

If they could accept not using Z-Pure Crystals to instantaneously unleash Z-Moves, that was one thing.

But what came next.

Victini's instant replenishment of Fang Yuan and Eevee's physical strength allowed for their continuous performance of instant Z-Moves, which almost brought the Deities to their knees.

Even they wondered if they could achieve this step in places where Nature's Energy was dense.

It was difficult...

If seven full-powered, consecutive Z-Moves were the standard, they definitely couldn't do it.

Yet the combination of this human and two Pokémon just did.

Victini's presence had elevated Fang Yuan and Eevee's talents to a new level.

The Island Protectors' gaze towards Victini changed suddenly. They hadn't paid much attention to this little creature until now, when they realized how formidable it was.

Special Species Abilities that possibly even surpassed their own.

...

Sour.

It was a sour feeling.

In a moment, the Four Island Guardian Deities felt immense envy for the World Tree Guardian.

To have found such a Trainer as its guardian.

No wonder Dreams called Fang Yuan over to learn all the Z-Moves.

Z-Moves, with their high activation threshold and stringent usage requirements, seemed custom-made for Fang Yuan's combination.

Although they hadn't yet chosen their own "Island King," the Guardian Deities knew in the back of their minds that no one would compare to Fang Yuan.

Just thinking about their representative's gap with Fang Yuan made them feel sour.

No! It's not acceptable!

Even if their representative couldn't surpass Fang Yuan and his team, they definitely couldn't afford to be too inferior.

They had to raise the standards for becoming the Island King, invest more time in selection, and not rush into any decisions!

Quickly, the Four Island Guardian Deities made a decision...

Now, Fang Yuan was the proverbial 'child next door,' and they subconsciously compared their own upcoming "child" to him.

"Kapu..."

After the shock, Tapu Koko took the lead in nodding.

No wonder Fang Yuan was learning all series Z-Moves. With talents like his, Fang Yuan indeed had the chance to master the essence of Z-Power with minimal effort.

Fine, they would teach.

At this point, having demonstrated their ability to use Z-Moves without Z-Crystals, Fang Yuan also asked the question he most wanted to know.

"That is, Tapu Koko, my Eevee has a species variation and has mastered the use of Solar Energy, which allows it to use Fire Type and Psychic Type Z-Moves without relying on Z-Pure Crystals..."

"We came here hoping to learn whether it's possible for it to use Z-Moves of other types without relying on Z-Pure Crystals."

This question was crucial. Although they might receive all series Z-Crystals from the Island Protectors, Fang Yuan still didn't want to give up on developing Eevee's ability to use Z-Moves without Z-Crystals, which he dubbed Gratitude 5.0.

For the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and Monferno, who lacked the natural talent, relying on Z-Crystals for Z-Moves was fine.

But if Eevee had the chance to learn, why not try?

"Kapu..."

"Nana..."

"Ti..."

"Ji..."

Fang Yuan's question had stumped the Kapus.

Even when Fang Yuan had to learn the All Series Z Moves, the Guardians did not hesitate this much.

"Kapu! (It is possible.)"

Finally, after exchanging looks for a long time, Tapu Koko and the others gave an answer.

It is possible.

But it's difficult.

The essence of a Z-Move, in fact, can be said to be a method of using parts of the body of the Brilliant God, Necrozma, to harness Natural Energy and enhance Moves.

Under normal circumstances, only when Humans and Pokémon work together can Z-Moves be used.

However, some Pokémon with exceptional talent can use Z-Moves on their own.

Like them.

After their lengthy training, not to mention the All Series Z Moves, they could also use some Z Moves that contained special powers.

Their best demonstration of having perfectly mastered Z power is their ability to condense Natural Energy to create Z Pure Crystals and teach others how to use Z-Moves.

Currently,

Fang Yuan's Eevee is going through a phase that is very similar to their early days of learning Z power.

It is also only capable of autonomously using Z power that matches its own species ability.

If Eevee wants to achieve what Fang Yuan mentioned about using All Series Z Moves without the help of Z Pure Crystals, then Eevee, too, must undergo lengthy training focused on Natural Energy.

They started off on a much higher plane than Eevee due to their unique species abilities and were closer to Natural Energy than Eevee is now. Even so, it took them countless years.

For Eevee to achieve that... it might need more than a hundred years.

However, if it were done one attribute at a time, it might not take many years for it to learn new abilities, such as using General Series Z Moves with the help of Fang Yuan's power.

"Bwoo..." Upon hearing the Guardians' descriptions, Eevee felt overwhelmed.

This is so hard.

I don't want to learn it anymore.

Psychic Type and Fire Type are enough... I'll rely on Z Pure Crystals for the rest, after all, they work just the same.

"A lazy bum."

Seeing Eevee suddenly deflate, Fang Yuan picked it up with one hand and said, "No way, even if it takes a hundred years, you have to learn."

Eevee's path now is very similar to that of the Island Protectors. Doesn't this mean that if Eevee works hard, it could be like them and eventually create Z Pure Crystals on its own?

A brand-new legend is right before their eyes; Fang Yuan definitely can't let Eevee slack off.

Who knows, maybe hundreds of years from now, Eevee could become like those Island Protectors, becoming a Legendary Pokémon adept at using Natural Energy.

Adding on the legendary path of Life Energy, Eevee could be said to be invincible. With the paths of life and nature, if it steps into the Legendary Realm, it will definitely surpass ordinary Legendary Pokémon.

"Bwoo! (Then I'll learn!)" Eevee, being picked up, realized Fang Yuan was determined and started calling out.

If it really took a hundred years to learn, that would be fine; it meant Fang Yuan could always be there to train with it.

"Kapu~~~!!"

Watching Fang Yuan and Eevee squabble, Tapu Koko fell silent for a moment, then shook its head.

It really wanted to say, you won't be able to learn it.

It was only because of their unique species that the four of them could master it.

But ultimately, it chose not to say it.

Looking at the Trainer and Pokémon with a good bond before it, Tapu Koko felt peculiar.

Perhaps, in countless years, it really could see Fang Yuan and Eevee grow to that stage.

After all, since Fang Yuan was recognized by the World Tree, he must also have something special about him.

"Kapu! (Due to our different species, it is very difficult for us to teach you, but, up next, you could make use of Z Pure Crystals of different attributes to experience various Natural Powers, which might relatively be a shortcut, we wish you success.")"

In the end, Tapu Koko indicated that Fang Yuan and Eevee could start by using Z Pure Crystals to unleash Z Moves of other attributes, perhaps after they became skilled, they could master it.

What they could teach them at most was the basic usage of Fairy Type Natural Energy. Fang Yuan's greedy desire to learn the uses of all Natural Energies was something they really couldn't teach, because even they hadn't reached that stage themselves.

"Thank you very much." Fang Yuan nodded and expressed his thanks.

Meanwhile, the Kapu family was pondering that All Series Z Moves shouldn't be difficult for Fang Yuan anymore.

It remains to be seen, however, whether Fang Yuan has any idea of developing exclusive Z Moves for his own Pokémon.

"Kapu." After that, Tapu Koko inquired.

They had to prepare the training grounds in advance, so it was better to ask everything at once.

"Exclusive Z Moves??"

Nine-colored sublimation gather top??

"Kapu! (Exclusive Z Moves will have different effects depending on the specific situation of the Pokémon, they are great moves that transcend ordinary Z Moves, but the difficulty of successful development is also much greater, requiring our combined efforts to assist the Pokémon in development.)"

Fang Yuan thought: Like Xiaozhi and Pikachu's Ten Million Volts that defeated you?
