Chapter 966: The Awakening of the Mane Rock Werewolf_1

The Mane Rock Werewolf is now very happy.

It was finally its turn, huh?

Growing up listening to Luo Kuo's tales of adventures and the firsthand adventure stories of its teammates, it had waited too long for this day.

It was indeed unique, only it could see the black energy of the World Tree Remnants!!

According to King Poke Landis's description, could it be that this indicated it had a natural talent for perfect Super Ancient Transformation?

This time, it had judged correctly, it was indeed a unique adventure quest.

"Woof!!"

The Mane Rock Werewolf pressed its paws against the stone box, its eyes shining brightly as it pleaded with Fang Yuan.

It was willing to accept the inheritance of Super Ancient Power.

That way, if this negative energy was indeed the main culprit causing the exhaustion of the World Tree's energy, once it returned to the original timeline, it could help the World Tree and Mew by absorbing negative energy.

Besides, since the World Tree had given it the ability to see this foreign invasive energy, it had to fulfill its responsibilities. All the negative energy on this planet, it was determined to absorb and cleanse!

It had the ability, and if it saw the rampant negative energy and did nothing, it would feel reproached by its conscience.

It... wanted to be an ambassador for protecting Earth's ecology!

Only then would it not fail the World Tree and Fang Yuan's nurturing.

The Mane Rock Werewolf was moved to tears, suddenly feeling the weight of its responsibility.

"Cut the crap, you just want to cheat and become stronger... Don't give me these high-sounding reasons..." Fang Yuan cut through the actual thoughts of the Mane Rock Werewolf with a single sentence.

It did have feelings for the World Tree, but it wanted to become stronger, didn't it? It's too naive to think it could deceive me, the one with the Power of the Heart.

The Mane Rock Werewolf: >̣̣̥᷄⌓

The dog won't split if not forced to.

There's no need to make things difficult for the werewolf.

"There are still some risks..." Fang Yuan mused. However, it's rare for the puppy to have this kind of determination.

Looking at the Dragon Island Giant Rapid Dragon, besides the uncontrollable size, there didn't seem to be any other side effects to the Super Ancient Gigantic Form.

On the contrary, it would grant the Pokémon an incredibly terrifying physical strength and defensive power, stamina.

But that single side effect is still a bit distressing.

"What if the Super Ancient Transformation is successful, but it turns out different than expected, and you can't return to your normal size? You might have to live a solitary life forever." Fang Yuan smirked.

"At that time, you won't even be able to find a mate."

The consequence of that could be seen from the Dragonite; a literal old bachelor, only playing by himself, too tragic, and not even as happy as Lickitung.

"Are you still willing to take this risk?" Fang Yuan estimated that even if he allowed his own Dragonite to learn this power, Dragonite might not want to learn it.

Becoming as big as the Huge Gyro Dragon, how could it chase after Milotic? If it couldn't be reversed, wouldn't it also face a lonely end? Everything is fine except for the "what ifs".

Unless Milotic also grew larger...

"Wooow!"

However, the Mane Rock Werewolf was resolute in its gaze; there was no helping it, its journey was destined to be lonely, melancholic, and too cold at the top. It had made its mental preparation.

The strong should never be trapped by emotions.

Fang Yuan: "..."

Grass (a plant)! What on earth has Luo Kuo taught you?

Considering that the Mane Rock Werewolf was only one or two years old, probably unlike the Dragonite, still ignorant of the beauty of love, Fang Yuan sighed and gave up trying to convince it.

"Bwoo..."

By the side, Eevee couldn't stand it any longer. The puppy was hopeless; anyway, it was no longer its concern.

Eevee took one step at a time away from this place, rarely forgoing playing with its smartphone and instead fell into silent meditation.

With the Strengthening BUFF active, when better to train than now?

As long as it could make a breakthrough during this limited 10x experience event, there'd be plenty of time to play afterward.

......

"Let Mane Rock Werewolf absorb the Negative Energy from the remnants of the World Tree and try Super Ancient Gigantification..."

The suggestion Man Rock Werewolf made did indeed seem worth a try to Fang Yuan.

The arguments from the Mane Rock Werewolf were logical, sentence by sentence.

However, even though Mane Rock Werewolf could see Negative Energy, it was still uncertain if it could perfectly control it.

The words of the King of Poke Landis couldn't be trusted without question either.

"In a couple of days, I'll take Mane Rock Werewolf to Dragon Island; let it communicate with the Huge Gyro Dragon, then finally allow it to decide," Fang Yuan sighed lightly.

While he respected the decisions of his Pokémon, the method of gaining strength was risky, and it was crucial that Mane Rock Werewolf thought it through.

If it truly had perfect talent and could freely control the power upon receiving it, that would be great, but if it ended up like the Dragon Island Giant Rapid Dragon, then it would only be capable of guarding the World Tree, likely unable to be captured with even a Heavy Ball... the Super Ancient Giant Elf would be beyond reach.

But...

Teaming up with Mewtwo's inventive ability, Fang Yuan had the confidence to research a more advanced Poké Ball that might just be able to contain a Giant Spirit of tens of meters.

"Mewtwo, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan wanted to hear the opinion of Mewtwo standing beside him.

"I'm against gaining power by such shortcuts," Mewtwo said calmly, "However, if it truly has the mindfulness it claims, then I support it."

Earth and the Pokémon World were both enormous ecosystems, their development close to stable.

But amongst the energy and Pokémon from outer space that fall upon these worlds, the beneficial ones are one thing, but the harmful invaders have a hugely negative impact on ecosystems - in Mewtwo's eyes, possibly worse than the impact of Humans.

As one of the symbols of the Pokémon World, the World Tree unexpectedly endowed Mane Rock Werewolf with the ability to see energy not of this world; if Mane Rock Werewolf used that ability for the protection of Earth's ecology, then it indeed deserved Mewtwo's recognition, which was also the reason Mewtwo was willing to support Mane Rock Werewolf.

"If that's the case, then of course I support it..."

Although Mane Rock Werewolf probably just wanted to become stronger, Fang Yuan didn't feel any insincerity in its words. Having spent so much time in close contact with the World Tree, and having served as a Guardian at the Fossil Elf Sanctuary for so long, it had indeed developed a sense of responsibility.

Fang Yuan showed a smile.

Perhaps, that was also why the World Tree looked favorably upon Mane Rock Werewolf.

In line with its ability to see invasive energy, if it had that sense of responsibility, it truly would be a boon for the ecology. Z God and the World Tree Guardian would be overjoyed.

Even Zygarde, a Pokémon world eco-monitoring God ranked high among Legendary Pokémon and at full strength, could not see into the core of Negative Energy and had to rely on Xiaozhi's Greninja and its Helping Hand Ability.

Since Mane Rock Werewolf could see Negative Energy just like Xiaozhi's Greninja, perhaps the World Tree wanted to nurture it for the same reason as Z God - for the protection of the ecosystem.

As a World Tree Guardian, compared to Eevee and others, Mane Rock Werewolf's abilities were indeed more in line with Fang Yuan's role.

...

Atop a certain mountain peak.

The Mane Rock Werewolf, its orange fur and slightly shaking rocky mane on its neck, made its way to the summit. It opened its blue eyes, gazed in the direction of the World Tree remnants, and let out a howl.

"Awooooo..."

Mane Rock Werewolf didn't understand grand principles; it just wanted to get stronger quickly so as to help everyone.

Whether it was Fang Yuan, who had hatched it personally, disregarded its biting and Tackling, complained verbally but always took care of it during its juvenile phase—bathing and feeding it himself, or the World Tree, that enabled its evolution, allowed it to be unique, and forgave its capriciousness time and again, Mane Rock Werewolf wanted to give back.

But it was too weak.

Even Gear Group, Ditto, Rotom, and Dragon were able to support Fang Yuan under different circumstances.

However, it had always been the one most in need of care within the team, the least useful.

Now, the opportunity was right in front of it. If it seized the chance, it could become the core of Fang Yuan's battle force, significantly helping the World Tree and assisting Fang Yuan, the World Tree Guardian, in many ways. It didn't want to miss this chance no matter what; it firmly believed it could overcome any difficulty.

It was certain it could master the power of Super Ancient Gigantification perfectly. After all, Brother Monkey had not yet recovered.
