Chapter 1025: Incineroar vs. Diancie

After saying goodbye to Miao Yin and obtaining the information he needed, Su Hao set off on his journey toward Heihe City.

Starting from Mingjin City, he switched between Dragapult, Hisuian Braviary, and Metagross along the way. It took Su Hao only three days to reach the nameless wilderness near Heihe City, which led to the Greater Khingan Mountains.

Su Hao didn't mind the dirt and sat directly on the bare ground, where there were hardly even any weeds.

The nearby wild Pokémon tribes didn't have the guts to come and cause him trouble, especially one Weavile tribe; they had nearly been wiped out on the spot by Su Hao's Aura Sphere, so naturally, they wouldn't be foolish enough to come looking for trouble.

Su Hao took out the tail feather of Articuno and examined it carefully under the sunlight.

It had to be said, as the visual centerpiece among the three legendary birds, its ice-blue tail feather did look truly beautiful.

Furthermore, the tail feather, which had shown no reaction while he was in the Imperial Capital, Yangcheng, or Mingjin City, was now beginning to emit a faint, shimmering glow.

Su Hao remembered that Articuno had once mentioned it was a foreign bird from Great Britain, and the target they had originally planned to visit in the secret realm was also the Great Britain Alliance.

However, perhaps during the time he transmigrated into the Pokémon world, Articuno had done something that caused the secret realm to end up near the tri-border area of Heihe City, the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the Northern Bear Alliance.

But since Articuno had the leisure to move the secret realm, why didn't it go see its kin inside, instead of going through the trouble of having Latias and the others convey the message?

Su Hao didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop him from fulfilling his promise to Articuno.

Su Hao sat for a while, but the Articuno tail feather only glowed slightly without any other movement. Su Hao understood that he was likely still a long way from Articuno's secret realm.

"However, before entering Heihe City, I still need to try this..."

As he spoke, Su Hao raised his right wrist and stared at the Z-Crystal embedded in his Z-Ring. The pattern of the Firium Z had somehow changed into the tiger-head pattern of Incineroar.

He had discovered this change two days ago while flying on Dragapult, when he encountered a Magnezone blocking the path.

Not wanting to get entangled with the Magnezone, Su Hao intended to use the Firium Z with Dragapult to one-shot it. As a result, after he finished his awkward dance, the Z-Crystal and Z-Ring didn't change at all.

At the time, he thought something was wrong with the Z-Crystal or the Z-Ring. Unexpectedly, after they put in some effort to repel that late-Gym-level Magnezone, Su Hao checked the status of the Z-Crystal and the ring and discovered the unexpected fact that the Z-Crystal had changed into Incinium Z.

The sky had gradually darkened. Su Hao planned to test the power of the exclusive Z-Move with Incineroar, then camp on the spot to rest for the night before officially entering Heihe City.

As for Incineroar's sparring partner, it was naturally Diancie.

The Weavile tribe, which had been repelled by Su Hao alone, stood on the treetops, watching from afar as Su Hao released Incineroar and Diancie. They felt lucky that they hadn't been stubborn, or they would have received another brutal beating.

"I'll use the Z-Move with Incineroar; Diancie, you decide for yourself how much effort to use to resist, okay!"

Su Hao quickly set the rules. After receiving confirmation from Incineroar and Diancie, he went behind Incineroar and tried hard to recall the movements for Incinium Z.

He remembered that Incineroar's exclusive Z seemed to have the same movement as the Firium Z. Could it be because Game Freak was lazy and didn't want to make extra sets of movements?

His complex thoughts ended there. Diancie stood quietly on the other side, with the golden aura representing its Overlord aura surrounding it.

Only when facing Diancie in reality could Su Hao more deeply feel how extraordinary its temperament and potential were.

However, with Incineroar in its current heavily buffed state and having gained the help of its exclusive Z-Move, Su Hao expected that even Diancie would have to perk up and handle this move carefully.

"We're going, Tiger!"

Su Hao tapped the Z-Crystal, crossed his wrists, and a black-red light condensed into a huge tiger-head pattern.

A brilliant golden light descended like divine power, enveloping Su Hao's body. In the radiance, Su

Hao slowly moved his whole body, striking a full-power pose.

In just an instant, the golden light transformed into a fiery red color, enveloping Incineroar completely with Su Hao as the base point.

The steps here changed from the Fire-type Z-Move to the Dark-type Z-Move posture.

Then, in the next second, both the movements and the special effects changed.

The moment the fiery red radiance enveloped Incineroar, a touch of dark black bloomed within it, transforming the aura around Incineroar into a fusion of near-blood-red and black.

Incineroar leaped high into the sky. At this moment, it had already activated Perpetual Buff: Bulk Up and Electric Current Propulsion; it could be said to be in its strongest, peak state!

Coupled with the power of Incinium Z, Incineroar even felt that it could reach the back of Big Sister Diancie and catch up to her!
