"Rotom!"
"Bimi!!!"
At this moment, both Rotom and Victini were curious about Eevee's transformation.
Next, Eevee reported its condition to them, as well as to the guardian deities.
During this process, the guardians kept asking questions.
The question they most wanted to know was whether Eevee now felt any burden.
After the increase in power, they wondered if the power would continue to weaken or if there was a time limit on it.
Any of those issues would indicate that the Z Pure Crystals they provided were not of high enough quality to perfectly strengthen the succession.
Fortunately, Eevee affirmed.
It didn't feel the power dissipating; the excellent potential of the Moon Eevee Substitute had perfectly merged with it, most likely permanently.
At least for now, it hadn't detected any problems.
"Kapu!!!"
After Eevee's explanation, the Four Great Guardians exchanged looks and felt relieved; it seemed they were on the right track.
"So, it is a success now, right?"
Fang Yuan said, "Although the Z Pure Crystal is a one-time thing, Eevee has only a few evolution forms in total. Just prepare a few one-time Z Pure Crystals, and it should be able to complete the restoration."
"Kapu."
Elder Brother Cappu-Mingming, the family leader, nodded, agreeing with this logic.
Since it had been proven that a one-time-use Z Pure Crystal could work, it was better to go ahead with the complete restoration using it, rather than spend more time perfecting the Z-Move.
After all, with the help of Victini, the process could be thoroughly completed in just two or three days.
Eevee also very much agreed with this viewpoint and couldn't wait to undergo the restoration several more times to see where its limits lay.
Fang Yuan, Eevee: ♪(^∇^*) Oh yeah!
Four Great Guardian Gods, Victini: (__)ノ|Seems like it's going to be tiring.
"This is serious, Rotom."
Rotom muttered to itself, suddenly feeling sorry for Armed Magnemite, Monferno, Glutton, and Venusaur.
This was going to be an epic level enhancement.
Well, the results would be clear in a few days.
......
With a clear goal in mind, Fang Yuan, Eevee, the Four Great Guardian Gods, and Victini all worked hard.
The next day.
Under the sunlight.
With the flow of Fairy Energy, Eevee's Substitute evolved into a Fairy Type Eevee this time.
With its adorable and lively pale blue eyes, and a body interwoven with pink and white, the Fairy Type Eevee had a bow tie on its left ear and around its neck, each with two ribbons fluttering in the wind, looking quite elegant.
After the evolution, the Fairy Type Eevee entwined its ribbons around Fang Yuan's arm, further unifying their spirits. It was as endearing as the Moon Eevee, and everyone seemed to love the fairy-like Fairy Type Eevee.
However.
That was all just for show.
Once the novelty wore off, Eevee immediately used the Fairy Type Eevee Substitute as fodder and fed it to its own body, eagerly waiting to strengthen itself.
With the aid of Z-Moves from Fang Yuan, Eevee inherited the outstanding abilities of the Fairy Type Eevee after the Moon Eevee.
Like the Moon Eevee, the Fairy Type Eevee was characterized by special defense, so with the Moon Eevee as precedent, this evolution did not offer a dramatic improvement in Eevee's base qualities, it was a very slight increase.
However, the enhancement in other areas was significant.
Eevee felt that after this restoration, it became even better at using Mental Power.
At the same time, its understanding and use of Fairy-type Moves, Solar Energy, and Life Energy had also evolved.
The ribbons on top of Fairy Type Eevee's head could emit waves that soothed emotions and ended battles, making it an expert at controlling the heart and emotions. Eevee inherited this excellent potential.
Furthermore, since Fairy Energy originates from moonlight, which in turn comes from Solar Energy, this gave Eevee a new understanding of using Solar Energy, indirectly enhancing its proficiency in Fairy-type Moves.
To be precise, the restoration from the Moon Eevee laid the groundwork for this evolution, allowing Eevee to completely comprehend the transformation process from Solar Energy to Fairy Energy.
Soon after.
The guardians finished preparing all the one-time-use Z Pure Crystals.
Meanwhile, the Guardian Gods also gave Fang Yuan Evolutionary Stones of Fire, Water, Thunder, Leaf, and Ice that were beyond top quality, to be used for Eevee's evolution.
These were the essences extracted from the veins of Evolutionary Stones in the Alola Region, and their quality was extremely high.
In fact, it was just so. Fang Yuan had never seen Evolutionary Stones of such quality in the outside world. At least outside, top-quality Leaf Stones and Ice Stones could not induce Eevee's evolution, but the stones provided by the Guardian Gods had an effect comparable to the Moss Stone and Ice Rock, with very special effects that could directly lead to Eevee's perfect evolution into Leaf Eevee and Glaceon.
In the following days, Fang Yuan and the others carried out Back-to-Basics training around these five stones.
After evolving into Leaf Eevee with a brown body and razor-sharp leaves, Eevee's physical body inherited defense capabilities even superior to those of Moon Eevee after the Back-to-Basics training, and its defensive ability was significantly enhanced.
At the same time, because Leaf Eevee excels at using photosynthesis, Eevee's mastery and understanding of solar energy ascended another level.
The power of Grass-type Techniques also increased, which corresponded to the Grass Partner Techniques.
After evolving into Glaceon with light blue skin, resembling one wearing a double-layer knitted hat for warmth, Eevee's mental power underwent a mutation.
Eevee's original mental power, which could merge with solar energy to form orange-coloured Confusion with a burning characteristic, could now also blend with Frost Power to form ice-blue Confusion with properties that could freeze everything—very similar to the Frost Mist that Milotic learned from the Guardian Gods.
After evolving into Vaporeon, which had deep blue stripes and cells in its body similar to water molecules, capable of perfectly merging with water, Eevee became more compatible with Water Series Energy after Back-to-Basics training. It could easily summon winds and rain with Confusion and alter the elemental composition of the air.
Fang Yuan saw such ability in the anime movie "Mewtwo Strikes Back," where Mewtwo manipulated the storm using Superpower.
At the same time, Eevee's physical strength improved again, and it was probably now even better than that of Dragonite and Milotic. After all, Vaporeon was very bulky.
After evolving into Lei Eevee with a body of golden yellow and Thunder and Lightning-like spikes, Eevee, besides being able to master the corresponding Electric Moves more easily, experienced a vast improvement in its speed attributes.
This speed included both movement and reaction times. Eevee could now run as fast as lightning, and its reactions were as quick as Thunder and Lightning, very much like the Lightning Armor that Monferno mastered—seemingly through electrical stimulation of cellular activity and neural enhancement in the brain, thus increasing speed.
After the Substitute evolved into Flareon, which looked most like Eevee with a fiery red body and a large fluffy tail, Eevee's strength greatly increased.
In the games, Flareon, known as the "Lone King," has the highest physical attack Species Value in the Eevee Family. In reality, this represents physical strength. Moreover, the greatest gain for Eevee after evolving into Flareon was the upgrade in Fire Awakening.
This time, Eevee's control over flames became even more effortless, and like when it evolved into Moon, Fairy, and Leaf Eevee, because flame energy is related to solar energy, its mastery of such advanced energy as solar energy advanced further.
If this were a game, Eevee would have nearly achieved its current feats.
HP Species Value: 130 (Vaporeon).
Physical Attack Species Value: 130 (Flareon).
Physical Defense Species Value: 130 (Leaf Eevee).
Special Attack Species Value: 130+ (Glaceon, Sun Eevee)
Special Defense Species Value: 130+ (Moon Eevee, Fairy Eevee)
Speed Species Value: 130 (Lei Eevee)
Total: 780
To call it Arceus would be an understatement for Eevee.
Of course, Fang Yuan was well aware that reality and game data cannot be equated, so he was just joking. However, it's undeniable that Eevee had become truly powerful.
"Bwoo,"
Standing beside Fang Yuan on the mountaintop and having completed its final Back-to-Basics training, Eevee gazed down below, feeling a significant shift in its mindset.
After several days of Back-to-Basics training, Eevee successfully reached its Species Limit, which is to possess top-level Fourth Stage, top-level extreme combat power.
Unlike other Pokémon, Eevee had no weaknesses.
For instance, the Species Limit of Rolling Rock might lean towards the development of strength and defense, and even if it reached its Species Limit in speed, it couldn't possibly be too fast. But Eevee, by inheriting the advantages of multiple forms, had a limit that other Pokémon couldn't match.
Even Phantom Elves like Darkrai couldn't compare with it.
This means that without the need for flashy techniques, relying on basic qualities and common Moves, Eevee could match or even surpass the core battle force of top Trainers like the Twelve Branches.
On top of that, Eevee could also use Mental Life Power to strengthen Moves and master various advanced energies, including Solar Energy. So when it fully unleashed its power, even without using Z-Moves, it would now be comparable to Darkrai when it first broke through to Guardian God Level.
In three days, Eevee almost achieved the results of other Pokémon's decades of arduous cultivation, reaching the battle power of an ordinary Guardian God Level Pokémon.
Eevee felt it, this time, was the taste of being invincible.
So what about the Armed Magnetic Monster that acted as one? So what about the Monferno that opened five gates? This time, it could, based on Eevee's normal state and combined with multi-attribute Partner Skills, single-handedly take them on.
Currently, having adapted to the forces of various evolutionary forms and mastered multi-type Partner Skills, Eevee's actual combat power was in no way inferior to that of an undeveloped Legendary Pokémon, and it had to be one of those with a Species Value of over 680.
"Let's go,"
After watching the sunset, Fang Yuan called out to Eevee. This journey to the Many Island Secret Realm should come to a perfect end.
It was time to return.
Next, they could enjoy a good rest for a while.
Whether it was the Road of Champions or the World Tree instance, with Back-to-Basics Eevee, Armed Magnemite, Monferno, and Super Gengar, he could disregard them all.
If Legendary Pokémon and veteran Guardian Gods didn't show up, Fang Yuan was now the strongest on Earth. After that, it was time to fully prepare for the disaster of the legends years later and wait for Celebi's emergence to help Mew collect Tablets in parallel dimensions.
"Bwoo~" Eevee nodded, jumped onto Fang Yuan's shoulder, and they were off!! To play games, play games—this time they could slack off for quite some time!!
