Chapter 1153: Spoon: You are noble, you are remarkable

"Uh... are you really sure you've awakened superpowers again?"

Su Xu wore a strange expression. Su Hao was straining so hard that the veins on his forehead were about to pop, yet Diancie, the subject of the experiment, remained completely motionless, showing no signs of being lifted at all.

Su Hao stopped his actions for a moment, rubbed his aching forehead, and looked at Su Xu with an expression of disbelief: "You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you... it just feels a bit absurd."

Su Xu considered himself an ordinary person without any special abilities, just a bit handsome.

As for the child's mother, Su Qing, she was just a bit smart and pretty, and had absolutely nothing to do with special abilities.

The Power of Aura is one thing, but this thing really has no pattern for awakening; as for the Power of Viridian, it's already absurd enough that his own son awakened it just by being born around Viridian Forest.

But what was going on with superpowers!?

Even mutations have to follow basic laws; even Peter Parker only mutated after being bitten by a spider.

Diancie floated slowly to the sofa on the side and suggested tactfully: "Why don't we try a small object... like this spoon."

As if echoing Diancie's words, the spoon slowly floated in front of Su Hao under the control of Diancie's psychic power, its intentional swaying filled with mockery.

Su Hao, who was being questioned: "........"

Oh no, the little darling has also turned into a natural black-belly. This is painful.

Su Hao humiliatingly took the delicate little spoon, cheered himself on in his heart, and just like that, under the intense gaze of a group of Pokémon, stared fixedly at the spoon in his hand.

After staring fixedly at the spoon for who knows how long, a fleeting blue light suddenly flashed in Su Hao's eyes, and under its influence, the spoon bent slightly.

It really was just a little bit, changing from its straight appearance to being slightly curved downward.

"Kraw-raw-raw!" (Laughing my head off, guys! This bit of psychic power isn't even enough to burn through 0.1 seconds of my evil aura!)

Just as the surrounding Pokémon and Su Xu were silent as cicadas in winter, Incineroar fully displayed the ease and arrogance of being Su Hao's second Pokémon, clutching its stomach and laughing loudly.

No sooner said than done, a super-effective Aura Sphere smashed directly onto Incineroar's forehead, causing it to involuntarily clutch its head and crouch in defense.

Milotic glanced at Incineroar as if looking at an idiot, and said disdainfully: "Fuu-woo~" (Serves you right~)

"Yeah, I can pretty much draw a conclusion." Holding that slightly bent spoon, Su Hao had to admit the reality: "I have indeed awakened psychic powers, but this psychic power is a tiny bit weak. Forget about teleportation or precognition; I can't even fully bend a spoon."

Su Xu: "......."

Su Hao changed the subject and easily bent the spoon physically with one hand: "But psychic power can also be trained. After all, my mental strength is quite decent because of Aura, but because my talent and proficiency in psychic power are both too poor, I can't fully exert its effect."

Su Xu understood vaguely; as a rough man, he didn't understand these fancy things. On the contrary, Diancie, Milotic, Hisuian Braviary, Lucario, and Metagross, who had some experience with psychic powers, understood very well.

For example, if Su Hao's mental strength were like a pot filled with water, the spout of the pot was only the size of a needle's eye, which is why he sat on a substantial reserve of mental strength while his psychic power was so lackluster.

Compared to his innate talent in Aura, psychic power was another extreme for Su Hao.

Having finally sorted out the crux of the matter, Su Xu tilted his head and asked: "Then what do you plan to do? Go to some psychic dojo to learn? But there are only a few days left before you participate in the youth tournament. Aren't you planning to use 'that' in the competition?"

Su Hao was stunned and nodded: "It's indeed about time. Grandpa Xia has also collected quite a few Mega Stones. I'll leave the following matters to you all."

Su Xu laughed and scolded: "You brat, you only know how to order people around. Have you contacted your mom? Doesn't it need her paper as a foundation?"

(Note: Line break in source)

"I haven't reached her." Su Hao shook his head. Intuition told him that Su Qing might be at a critical moment in her research on Terastallization, so she hadn't even replied to calls or messages. "The relevant paper was finished long ago; it's just a matter of setting a release time on the website. I can handle it myself."

"Fine then."

Seeing that Su Hao had already made arrangements, Su Xu didn't have much to say. Instead, he felt some emotion now; the world was developing too fast. The tide of the next era was rolling forward, and he was fortunate enough to have caught the first train.

Today is January 6th, and there are three days left until the International Youth Exchange Tournament. Su Hao has to go to the assembly point by the last day at the latest, so he actually has at most two days left.

This time, a new member has been added to the outing team, and an old member has temporarily left. Su Hao's number of Pokémon on hand remains at nine, no more, no less.

The Articuno Secret Realm is undoubtedly the most suitable place for training. There is no need to worry about causing damage to the surroundings—after all, the Articuno don't care at all.

The secret realm is now hidden above the Su family's residence, completely undetectable by existing technological power. Only Su Xu alone keeps such a big secret, trembling with fear.

Most of the objects in the secret realm are related to wind, snow, and ice mountains. Previously, there was no other life besides the Articuno.

Later, Skadi used that crystal Su Hao felt was a bit familiar to adjust the environment within the secret realm, creating a forest for the Grass-type Pokémon. Although it couldn't completely prevent the wind and snow, this was already the best environment.

Ice-type resources are very abundant in the secret realm. The Never-Melt Ice, which is priceless in the outside world, is weighed by the kilogram here. Because there are no Ice-type Pokémon in the team, Su Hao gave it all to Milotic to use for training the power of its Ice-type moves.

With over a dozen legendary Ice-type Pokémon feeding it nearby, Milotic's Blizzard and Ice Beam became increasingly biting.

Su Hao lay on a lounge chair, rarely enjoying such a leisurely vacation, his whole body incredibly relaxed.

Occasionally, the figure of the Hisuian Braviary could be seen sweeping across the sky. The environment of the Articuno Secret Realm might be relatively unfriendly to some Pokémon, but although the Hisuian Braviary is countered by the Ice type, it adapted well.

Perhaps it's because its species can naturally live in icy and snowy areas.
