Chapter 861 Half a month of Z-Force special training!_1
Time flew by.
About a week later.
Every one of Fang Yuan's Pokémon, even the Klink, could now perform a specific action to use a Universal Z Move.
Of course, Fang Yuan was an essential part of the process. Without his Aura Power, Superpower, energy, and physical power traction Z Power, it was hard for the other Pokémon to directly master this power.
To master the Universal Z Moves of all 18 types, it took them nearly a week.
During this time, Eevee, who had already mastered the Z Power, was the first Pokémon to go with the Guardian Deities to develop its Exclusive Z Move.
Following Eevee, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Milotic, Venusaur, and the Mane Rock Werewolf, after mastering the Z Moves, went for special training as well.
Guiding five Pokémon at once was actually rather challenging even for the Island Protectors.
But how could they resist when Fang Yuan's side could reasonably make it easier for them?
Helping Pokémon develop Exclusive Z Moves is tiring? Well then...
Fang Yuan: "It's decided, it's you, Victini!"
Go help the Tapus replenish their physical strength.
Victini: (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Charge charge charge.
The guardian deities of Tapu: Σ(°△°|||)︴No excuse to slack off now...
And so.
The efficiency with which Fang Yuan's Pokémon suitable for developing Exclusive Z Moves did so was absurdly fast.
Almost another week had passed.
Eevee, the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Venusaur, and the Mane Rock Werewolf had all gotten a basic grasp of their Exclusive Z Moves.
At the same time, Fang Yuan also obtained the corresponding Exclusive Z Pure Crystals from the Guardian Deities.
With these, Fang Yuan and these Pokémon could use their Exclusive Moves anytime, as long as they had the physical strength.
The reason they developed so quickly was not only because of Victini's help but also because these Exclusive Moves were actually built on the skills the Pokémon had previously developed.
Fang Yuan provided many valuable suggestions during the development process of the moves.
Eevee, for example, developed the Exclusive Z Move "Multicolored Ascend Gather Top," which is an attack version.
It's essentially a battle technique that involves a combination attack of various form-change Attribute Energy Bullets.
Eevee used to find this move difficult to use in actual combat, as it required creating four substitutes to coordinate with itself, making the conditions of activation too strict and the move easy to interrupt.
But now, with the help of the Exclusive Z Pure Crystal and Fang Yuan's assistance, it could be used quickly without the need to gather substitutes.
Moreover, the form of the move had changed significantly.
Previously, it was about five attribute energy balls rotating and firing independently, but now, the form had evolved so that five kinds of energy were stably contained within a single sphere when fired.
As a result, the range was longer, the explosion more powerful, and the form more stable.
Even Darkrai felt queasy at the power.
The only regret was that this Exclusive Z Move was still not perfect.
As was usual, Eevee could only bring out the five colors, with the nine colors still a distance away.
In other words, the limit of this Exclusive Move depends on Eevee's own abilities.
Of course, this is also a good thing, as this ability can grow. If that's the case, Fang Yuan thinks that nine colors may not be the limit, and achieving eighteen colors could be possible in the future.
Truly the work of Arceus.
If only the Z Pure Crystals could be replaced with the Tablets of Arceus, how cool that would be.
...…
The Exclusive Z Move of the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster is based on the Blue Lightning.
Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele helped the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster develop a blue lightning that combines Electromagnetic Force with mental power.
Adding not only the magentic properties to the blue lightning but also the variability of the Psychic Type Gravity Technique.
In the end, if Fang Yuan used the Exclusive Z Pure Crystal in conjunction with the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's Z Move, they could create a special blue electric ball with enormous attraction and electromagnetic force.
This move could attract all objects like the Universal Dark Type Z Move "Black Hole Devours Everything," sealing and wrapping the enemy for a fall or an explosion.
You could consider it as an electric series enhanced version of "Black Hole Devours Everything."
It was almost like upgrading the Combination Skill Terra Starburst that Fang Yuan and the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster had developed into an instantly usable combat skill.
This move could finally be used in actual combat.
...
As for Venusaur,
Its Exclusive Z Move was based on a series of skills like Nature Reversion and Tree World Coming.
Taking Venusaur's talent into consideration, Tapu Bulu taught it more advanced methods of using natural energy.
If the Universal Grass Z Move is like sacrificing the energy of flora through Z Power, exploding life's natural energy like a bomb to attack the opponent,
Then Venusaur's Exclusive Z Move is about integrating this Z Power into its other moves, using it more cleverly and continuously.
This way, it would offer better tactical value than a one-time explosion.
Moreover, after Venusaur becomes more skilled in mastering natural energy, the ultimate ceiling of this move will also be higher than that of ordinary Grass Z-Moves.
In light of this, Venusaur developed its own exclusive Z-Move: Tree's Descent - True Thousand Hands.
In an instant, using natural Z power, it can create a huge Guanyin image with tree trunks much harder than Steelix, replete with numerous gigantic arms. The Guanyin image will pummel and crush the enemy with a barrage of massive wooden fists.
At the same time, the process will continuously absorb external natural power to repair the giant arms.
Compared to True Thousand Hands, Tapu Bulu prefers to call it: Nature's Wrath.
The body of the Guanyin image is several times bigger than Mega Venusaur; one hand can easily grasp large Pokémon like Tyranitar. It's an incredibly terrifying finishing move, but its consumption is also among the most extreme of the exclusive Z-Moves.
To achieve hundreds, if not thousands of giant arms, it seems Venusaur has quite a grind ahead of itself.
These exclusive Z-Moves owe half their success to the guardian deities, and half to Fang Yuan.
The power of guardian deities, combined with the wisdom of a Trainer, made the development process of the exclusive Z-Moves extremely efficient.
...…
On Mane Rock Werewolf's side, it was learning an exclusive Z-Move already developed by predecessors, called Splintered Stormshards, so the process was very smooth.
The storm of hundreds of sharp rocks, enhanced by Z power, will eventually envelop the enemy in flames generated by its friction with the air, similar to a meteor shower, making it a very powerful Z-Move.
...
As for Milotic, it was learning not an exclusive Z-Move, but the application of Cleansing Water, as taught by Tapu Fini.
However, what Fang Yuan and Milotic ultimately found surprising was that Tapu Fini was not teaching a healing or purification method.
Rather, it turned Cleansing Water into an attack method that perfectly transforms into a destructive mist.
Tapu Fini is averse to being hurt in battles, so it prefers to produce a dense fog, using the Fog Domain to make opponents self-destruct.
When it comes to controlling fog, Tapu Fini is quite adept.
Although Milotic was also an expert at controlling fog due to its outstanding Coordination Ability prior to this, when compared to Tapu Fini, it was bringing an axe to the class of a master.
After some learning, it successfully mastered the skill of perfectly transforming Cleansing Water into Freezing Fog.
This is a hybrid technique of Cleansing Water and the moves Mist and Smog, capable of instantaneously allowing ice fog to invade the enemy's body, freezing the opponent's spirit, internal organs, energy, thought processes...
Of course.
Whether it's Eevee's Five-Color Sublimation Ascension TOP, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's Terra Starburst, Venusaur's True Thousand Hands, or Mane Rock Werewolf's Splintered Stormshards, or Milotic's Freezing Fog, they're all at an initial half-entrance level.
From here on, to reach proficiency, mastery, and perfect control, continuous practice will be necessary.
In just half a month, Fang Yuan and the rest fairly much completed their introductory training in all Z-Moves with the guardian deities. This speed was entirely beyond the guardian deities' expectations.
Given the number of moves Fang Yuan and his group were learning, if it had been any other Trainer, it would have taken one or two years... definitely impossible to accomplish.
While Eevee and the others were developing their exclusive Z-Moves, Fang Yuan and the other Pokémon were not idle either, continuously practicing the universal Z-Moves.
Universal Z-Moves are also very strong. If Fang Yuan were to now use a Dark Z-Move Black Hole with Darkrai or Victini, Fang Yuan reckons... the Pokémon in the Guardian Deities' Domain would simply be obliterated without any special means to counter it.
In the end, with the powerful Z Bracelet and 18 Attribute Z Pure Crystals along with 4 Exclusive Z Pure Crystals, Fang Yuan's strength has risen by a level.
Though he's currently ahead, it won't be long before others will be able to close the gap with Fang Yuan.
"Have you already chosen the Island Kings?"
"Kapu! (We've preliminarily decided; after they pass the test, they can take up their duties. If possible, please help us refine them after their success.)" Lian Fangyuan, who had spent half a month in the Many Island Secret Realm, was quite surprised to receive this message from Kapu Koko.
In the course of this half-month, he had contacted the outside world and Shang Ren multiple times, but did not interfere with the Island Protectors' selection of representatives.
Even Fang Yuan only just learned about the progress of Kapu's selections.
Now, hearing that Kapu Koko had found the Trainers it recognized, Fang Yuan immediately understood that soon, a large number of Trainers would be able to access Z-Moves.
During this half-month, many more Trainers entered the Secret Realm… I wonder which four lucky ones will eventually be chosen by the guardian deities.
......
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Many Island Secret Realm, somewhere.
Shang Ren, the Reigning King, couldn't stop laughing.
He looked at the Luminous Stone Bracelet and special Pure Crystals in his hand; though he did not know what they were, the experience just now made him realize that he seemed to have encountered a legendary encounter.
It was simply too thrilling.
Now, that guy Fang Yuan must be looking for traces of the Island Guardians, not even acting together with them.
"Wait, maybe Fang Yuan has also been chosen by the guardian deities. After all, that guy is not simple," Shang Ren mused silently.
But, it can't be said for sure; maybe the Legendary Pokémon just took a liking to him, Shang Ren.
Anyway… the Island Protectors appeared before him and even bestowed upon him special powers.
This time, if Fang Yuan does not have a similar encounter, he could surpass Fang Yuan in one fell swoop; after all, there hasn't been a Trainer who's been granted power by a legendary Pokémon before...
Even if Fang Yuan has also been recognized by the guardian deities, Shang Ren has to work harder and perform even better to try to defeat Fang Yuan from an equal starting line.
Whatever the case, this is his chance. If Fang Yuan gets recognized by the guardian deities just like him, that would be hitting the jackpot. Thinking of the revered and oppressive presence of the Island Protectors, Shang Ren laughed, wondering how Fang Yuan could possibly exude an imposing dominance to be worshipped in return by such beings.
First, he must complete the trial given by that Legendary Pokémon...
