Chapter 95: Ultimate Exotic Beast: Ferromelid!

At dusk, Ash finished his "flower‑picking" journey,

returning from the deserted island.

Today, everyone again embraced a return to simplicity.

Only Keerni and Lucario were still persisting with a brand‑new creation.

Night fell,

"Thanks for the hospitality, I'm full!"

After thanking everyone, Keerni wiped her mouth and headed to the rooftop.

On the rooftop,

Keerni perched on the edge railing, arms crossed supporting her chin, looking up at the moonlit sky.

"I just can't figure it out, it's incomprehensible… If this keeps up, I still can't control the runaway waveguide!"

"Lucario!"

"When will we finally start the real special training!"

What made Keerni most uneasy was that Ash, clearly the challenger, now had to accompany her here to perform the most tedious flower‑arranging practice, which left Keerni feeling deeply guilty.

"Lucario, Lucario…"

Lucario thought of the Koga ninja frog that had been following the flower‑arranging these past days, from initial hostility to now sharing a deep remorse.

Especially,

Seeing the trainer's overwhelming self‑blame, Lucario lowered his head.

It was because I refused to bow my head that the trainer ended up so self‑critical, and because of my own weakness, unable to control the post‑Mega‑Evolution waveguide, that all this happened.

Silently through the window, watching the silhouette of a person and a dog on the rooftop,

Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Mepuru all wore a smile on their faces.

At last, the time to reap the fruits had arrived.

Ash's mouth twitched upward, "We still have to make Grandma and your house act out a play for us."

"Don't say that. Over the years the walls have been almost eroded by vines, I've long wanted to rebuild, and I must thank you, Ash, for your sponsorship."

"What about helping design Masara Town houses?"

"Of course, no problem."

"Haha…"

The few exchanged smiles.

…

A few minutes later,

On the rooftop, a slender black silhouette flickered across the moonlight in an instant; Keerni didn't notice, but Lucario, feeling something, turned to look toward the house behind.

"Lucario!"

"What's wrong, Lucario?!" Keerni turned back in puzzlement,

Only,

they discovered nothing.

Just as Lucario shook his head, thinking his judgment was wrong,

Boom—!

Somehow a huge hole had opened in the villa's ceiling, accompanied by Ash and the others' startled cries.

"Let's go!"

Keerni hurried with Lucario back to the room.

What caught their eyes was a fair‑skinned, slender figure, its segmented body resembling a feminine insect spirit.

Serena, puzzled, pulled out a field guide, which contained no information at all,

Let alone the guide, even if Bulatano and Professor Oak were here, they would still be unable to identify the spirit's nature.

Because this spirit doesn't belong to this world at all.

It is a spirit from another world, known to Alola residents as an Ultimate Exotic Beast.

Ferromelid! Code name "ub02: Beautiful"

Ferromelid

Ferromelid possesses a humanoid body, extremely slender, mostly milky‑white.

It has a flat head and drooping eyelashes, blue‑purple eyes, a yellow crown‑shaped spot atop its lashes, and two long antennae extending down to its feet.

Below its bamboo‑like neck lies a four‑layer, outward‑flaring, skirt‑like torso; limbs are long, the legs slightly plumper than the other slender parts, and the feet are two even finer yellow antennae, resembling high heels.

The reason Ferromelid appeared here inevitably ties back to Ash letting Mewtwo brutally beat Y God on a regular basis.

When an Ultimate Exotic Beast descends upon the spirit world, it seeks weak points in space; being struck by two Tier‑One deity battle waves naturally renders the spatial barrier extremely fragile,

resulting in several ultimate fissures and the simultaneous emergence of many Ferromelids.

Without exception, these extraneous beings were immediately targeted by Ash, Mewtwo, and even the then‑indignant Y God.

I damn can't beat Mewtwo, can't beat you little brats?

You dare invade the world created by the Father God? Looking for death!

Y God, frustrated for lack of an outlet, erupted in fury, instantly killing and petrifying a few leading Ferromelids.

The rest, without exception, were all seized by Mewtwo's telekinesis.

Encountering an Ultimate Exotic Beast was indeed accidental,

but Ash's backpack even contains spare Master Balls, not to mention the Ultimate Balls designed for capturing Ultimate Exotic Beasts.

Although the Ultimate Ball is a product of the Ether Group under Rosa Minai, originally belonging to Lillie's mother, neither side has ever seen one.

But thanks to the cooperation in the business module,

Ash, however, also managed to get a dozen or so Ultra Balls from the other side for his collection, unexpectedly having already used them in the Kalos region ahead of time.

Ash caught one of them, a 6IV level‑70 individual,

and happened to send it to Masara Town.

Of course, considering the safety of Professor Oak and Xiao Mao, before the transfer Ash didn't forget to call Professor Oak and explain the danger.

Afterwards, Ash left a lower‑level Pheromosa for Keerni.

The rest were sent back by Ash to the Ultra Beast Cave.

This Pheromosa right now is precisely the final trial Ash prepared for Keerni's training.

【Pokémon】: Pheromosa

【Type】: Bug+Fighting

【Ability】: Beast Boost (knocking out an opponent raises the user's highest stat)

【Level】: 43

【Moves】: Quiver Dance, Quick Guard, Leer, Rapid Spin, Low Kick, Double Kick, Triple Kick, Feint, Stomp, High Speed Move, High Speed Star, Silver Wind, Bounce, Flying Kick,

【IVs】: HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 4, Sp. Atk 31, Sp. Def 7, Speed 31,

【Base Stats】: Total 570, HP 71, Attack 137, Defense 37, Sp. Atk 137, Sp. Def 37, Speed 151,

Although it's only 4IV,

but for Pheromosa's pathetic 37 both defenses, there's really no difference between 4IV and 6IV in actual battle, aside from comprehension and growth speed.

Although at level 43 it leads Lucario,

the terrifying 151 Speed combined with the explosive 137 dual attack, plus Quiver Dance and High Speed Move which boost Speed,

Looks fearsome! But actually……

For Lucario, who masters the never‑miss move Aura Sphere, it's completely been caught in its weak point.

Keerni, who is proficient in Fighting‑type, surely knows the effect of Aura Sphere.

This is practically a free‑point question; the only difficulty is how to overcome the loss of control of Aura Sphere after Mega Evolution.

And this is exactly why everyone is here right now.

Just then, a dazzling white pillar of light descended from the sky, almost directly swallowing half of the villa.

Everyone stared up in shock,

their gaze passing through the side ceiling that had completely vanished, they all saw a huge dark‑red Y‑shaped figure.

That destructive death beam just now was exactly their doing.

Seeing a single blow destroy half the villa, Ash's mouth twitched; it's hard not to suspect that the Y‑God, holding a grudge in his Heart, is seizing the chance to settle a private score,

knowing that attacking him would be interrupted by Mewtwo and earn a beating, he switched to intimidation tactics.

And it indeed did so,

Including Ash, all living beings were startled by that attack.

The Pheromosa even fled outright on the spot.

Its body turned into a afterimage, shooting outward, finally hitting an invisible wall.

The Pheromosa suddenly recalled the earlier warnings from Ash and Mewtwo,

plus Ash had already commanded Mega Diancie to face the Y‑God, while Mawile directed Mega Big Mouth Baby to assist from the side.

With no threat to life, the Pheromosa promptly swooped back to the villa to cause trouble for Lucario.

"This is an Ultra Ball made in the Alola region! With it you can catch any Ultra Beast!"

Watching Ash toss him a ball, the group then immediately withdrew from the villa while battling the Y‑God,

The windswept Keerni lowered her head to examine the novel‑looking Ultra Ball in her hand, then glanced at the Pheromosa in front with one hand on its hip, looking displeased.

So…… what on earth is going on?

Unable to figure it out,

Keerni and Lucario exchanged a glance, both seeing the other's eagerness to try.

Screw it, let's fight first and talk later!
