Chapter 170: Mewtwo Seeking Eternity

Goodness! The change that really occurred was not the move, but the more important ability. Larvesta's ability became Drought. This can no longer be said to be an ordinary change; it can be said to be a true epic enhancement! The premise is that it can freely switch its ability in the outside world and continue to maintain it after evolution.

Drought Volcarona?

Compared to the regular Sunny Day, the Drought ability in reality will also bring a little power improvement. If the energy accumulated in the body is strong enough, maybe a "Drought" ability at the level of Groudon will appear!

Since it has become Drought, why not learn "Eruption" again?

"Mera~" Larvesta was unaware of its changes. Now it looks like it is bathing in holy light, turning into a light-bug posture, living and moving like a little sun, illuminating this land brightly. And as a price, the ground around Larvesta burned rapidly and became high-temperature soil, making everyone unable to approach.

It is said that Larvesta's flames can reach up to 3000 degrees, and even iron plates can be burned off. Well, the dead iron pot can prove that this is true.

"You have to learn to control your power, little guy."

The Swords of Justice discussed the issue of Larvesta's ability change. They could of course feel that the sunlight had become intense. This is the Drought ability. Theoretically, it is absolutely impossible to appear on Larvesta, even if this great bug possesses the noble title of messenger of the sun.

Excellent talent can no longer describe this big-individual Larvesta, but considering that if Larvesta in reality doesn't know how to control its power, it will cause great damage if it runs around. As the leader of the Swords of Justice, Cobalion decided to teach this bug.

For Cobalion, Larvesta had an urge to approach, but for Terrakion, who was grinning on the side, it produced a strange sense of fear. This was caused by its attributes. It would be afraid when encountering Rock-type Pokémon.

And Cobalion patiently said a lot of knowledge about power control. Larvesta listened in a daze, blinking its blue eyes, and finally actually started to spit out sparks, pinching the sparks into various wave shapes.

"Yes, that's it, control the shape of the flames, fix them, don't let them move around, and then apply this technique to the energy in your body to do whatever you want."

Elements like fire, water, and ice do not have a fixed form. Pokémon of corresponding attributes often have to spend a lot of effort when practicing these moves.

Larvesta didn't speak, focused on playing with the flames, wantonly showing its ancient artistic talent inherited from the ancient city.

And because of the changes in "Training Atmosphere," it was not just Larvesta that changed.

A strange power was produced in the Training Labyrinth. Compared to the Swords of Justice, even Xiang Guangtai, as a human, was the first to perceive the arrival of this power fluctuation.

That is Aura.

Training Gate, a rotating blue ball of light lit up in the darkness, rushing out of the gate at an extremely fast speed, but the trajectory of the control was twisted and could not be judged, and even the blue ball of light itself seemed to be trembling and seemed to explode at any time. And Virizion among the Swords of Justice showed the behavior it had done in the theatrical version. The green "Sacred Sword" condensed on its forehead, like a strong wind blowing through the grass, splitting the flying blue ball of light into two with one blow!

Boom, boom! The unstable blue ball of light completely exploded in mid-air. At this time, Doublade's figure floated out of the Training Labyrinth. It blinked, excitedly floating left and right on the spot, because just now it suddenly realized a move that was originally difficult to learn, and even shouldn't have been learned.

It is "Aura Sphere"!

Doublade couldn't wait to show the stunt just now. Two ribbons kept swinging at the intersection of the two swords, like rubbing balls to condense its Aura. However, this time it didn't go well. The blue halo just appeared and exploded by itself, blowing Doublade spinning two or three times in mid-air. Fortunately, the Fighting-type move only had impact and no substantial damage to Ghost-type, Doublade quickly adjusted its posture and showed a disappointed expression.

"Aura Sphere..."

"Hey, Doublade, don't throw such dangerous moves around!" Terrakion scolded Doublade's recklessness. It threw the newly learned move around, almost causing chaos, but Doublade's personality is careless, and occasionally it will do such unreliable things. It could only express somewhat aggrievedly that next time... definitely won't do this again!

Xiang Guangtai: "Fortunately, I thought this guy was going to say next time I will hit it."

Although Aura Sphere is a move that never misses, it would be meaningless if the "move" itself were cut off. Moreover, the "never-miss" property of Aura Sphere is likely because "Aura" itself senses the enemy's Aura, and it is only through this setting that it can achieve a guaranteed hit.

However, even if it was barely used, it was still unstable.

"Yo-woo~" Doublade was in a great mood after realizing the new move. It was startled when it saw Larvesta painting with flames!

It hadn't seen the dream egg brought back from the ancient city. The reason for the fear at this time was because the flame power on Larvesta was too strong. Just approaching, Doublade felt it was going to be melted.

"You have to overcome your weaknesses." Cobalion suddenly reminded faintly: "As long as you practice for a long time, even attributes that are unfavorable to you can be overcome, just like I cut off the Flamethrower with the Sacred Sword."

Fire-cutting sword skills... Doublade's eyes were full of brilliance.

Overcoming unfavorable attributes through exercise, similar knowledge Xiang Guangtai had already obtained before. The "Weakness Protection Knowledge" obtained when making Weakness Policy can make Pokémon better overcome attributes unfavorable to themselves through corresponding exercise, and can also improve Pokémon's endurance, physical strength, and toughness.

In the animation, there are also various special individual Pokémon that have overcome the attacks of unfavorable attributes through training. Some are clever methods, some are changes through their own mutations, and some are real long-term training.

The representatives of these three types of Pokémon are Pinsir of Bugsy, which can use the technique of Swords Dance to bounce off flames; the Crystal Onix of the Orange Islands, because its body changes, it is no longer afraid of water but afraid of fire, and even its attributes seem to have changed; and a Rhydon that is not afraid of water, because it can learn Surf, it swims freely in the water every day.

"Next time you practice Aura, just recite it like this." Xiang Guangtai suggested to Doublade: "Remember, 'Aura, resides in my heart'."

"Yo-woo? (What is this, a move?)"

Xiang Guangtai: "This is a spell used by the hero of ancient Aura. Well, just treat it as a spell."

Just then, the mist that had always existed not far away gradually dissipated. This movement attracted the attention of the Swords of Justice. In their gaze, a tall Pokémon in human form walked out of the mist.

Mewtwo's face still had tear stains, but his expression had swept away the previous haze and was full of satisfaction and joy.

"Thank you, legendary craftsman..."

Mewtwo said a lot, a lot to Amber, and the mist never dissipated. The sad, painful, confused, joyful, and all the trainers and Pokémon Mewtwo had seen were completely conveyed to Amber. This is pouring out, and at the same time, it is also completing what Amber once wanted to do on her behalf.

"From now on, I am her eyes. I will continue to meet more people or Pokémon. I will not escape anymore. I am also a life living in this world."

Mewtwo had a new goal, and the originally dark future became bright. He could feel that his life was full of hope, because Amber'

But, Mewtwo still had a little bit of greed.

"Can I still use these two statues to see Ai in the future? They seem to have lost their power."

Mewtwo handed the two statues to Guang Tai. Guang Tai checked them slightly and found that only the spirit power had vanished; it had likely been consumed in the rift between the real world and the spirit realm. Because of this, only a new Spell Tag was needed for them to be effective again.

"No problem. I happen to know a Pokémon from the Spirit Realm. I can trade for a high-quality Spell Tag from it. You keep these two statues; as long as you have a new Spell Tag, you can see Ai again at any time."

"Thank you, thank you." Mewtwo was overjoyed. At this moment, its focus and hanging heart finally settled down, and its chest was filled with endless joy. Only then did it slowly notice the three Pokémon it had never seen before, as well as a beautiful bug that was playing with fire.

Guang Tai introduced the Pokémon here to Mewtwo. Hearing that the Swords of Justice came from a distant region, were continuously training, and had now decided to settle on the floating island in the Dream World, Mewtwo's heart stirred.

"Is Calyrex's previous invitation still valid?"

'Dost thou decide to remain here to assist Us?' Calyrex was very pleasantly surprised!

"It is that the confusion in my heart has vanished. I know what I should do next. Moreover, now is not the time for me to give up my power. The Dream World is a very good place to soothe the soul; I want to train and cultivate here."

"This is double the training."

The Swords of Justice's dream training gave Mewtwo inspiration, and Mewtwo already had a thought in its heart. At this moment, it understood the thoughts of that "Dr. Fuji" from back then—why he wanted to research cloned Pokémon, why he wanted to research that tenacious life force. Everything already had an answer.

It, too, wanted to let Ai live in this world again. This feeling was so intense, and after seeing Ai's soul, it had not diminished in the slightest.

But Mewtwo was quite rational; it knew that repeating Dr. Fuji's research was not the right thing to do. However, in the natural world, there also existed powers and items capable of "resurrecting the dead."

Pokémon that travel through time, Pokémon that possess the Rainbow-colored light, and also, during its travels, it had heard that in distant regions there existed something that could share "eternal life."

It had to go and find this power.

"Please build a labyrinth for me as well." Mewtwo made the request to Guang Tai, and Guang Tai naturally agreed. Not long after, the new labyrinth, the "Labyrinth of Meditation," was created.

In the Labyrinth of Meditation, it was suitable for Psychic and Ghost-type Pokémon to survive, though Psychic-types occupied the majority. Moreover, the fact that Mewtwo lived here would itself have a huge impact on the labyrinth's environment!

【Invited Pokémon: Mewtwo (recruited via Calyrex)!】

【Effect: Mewtwo settling here will cause the floating island to expand and a "Psychic Terrain" to appear—a naturally occurring psychic-type environment that can improve the growth and move power of Psychic-type Pokémon, while also naturally producing substances that strengthen psychic power and mental strength.】
