(Shouting loudly)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capu Moomoo, stunned by the unexpected result, hesitated; Luo Mu seized the opening and shouted, “Now, Play Rough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrapped in Fairy-type light, Mimikyu, after its Sword Dance, saw its attack power skyrocket and slammed straight into Capu Moomoo, sending it crashing into the rock wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking off the rubble, Capu Moomoo squinted and let out a faint, pained grunt; though its immense stamina wasn’t significantly damaged, it still hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, nourished by the endless vitality of the Grass Terrain, Capu Moomoo returned to its peak condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu clicked his tongue—Capu Moomoo was far more stubborn than the angry Magmar at home; it was an ancient Legendary, with a massive HP bar, impossible to wear down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t KO it quickly, Capu Moomoo would recover rapidly under the Grass Terrain’s support; Luo Mu guessed that, with just him and Mimikyu now, defeating Capu Moomoo was nearly impossible—though with Plusle, there might be a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trial of strength ended; Luo Mu no longer wished to continue fighting Capu Moomoo. He raised his Z-Ring, already embedded with the Mimikyu Z-Crystal, and shouted, “Mimikyu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Called by name, Mimikyu instantly grew excited; behind it, Dragonite had already begun its opening pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, for no clear reason, Luo Mu had a wild idea—he pulled out the Terastal Pearl he’d charged at the Orange Academy and said with a strange expression, “Since there’s no item limit anymore, this should work, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he decided to try it—failure meant only begging Capu Moomoo for another chance. Luo Mu had a hunch about Mimikyu’s Terastal type; with Kukui astonished and Capu Moomoo puzzled, he hurled the glowing Terastal Pearl toward Mimikyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sound of crystallization made Kingdra, Snorunt, and Cramorant pause; behind them, the other Pokémon’s green eyes shimmered with awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So beautiful the crystallization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp crack, Mimikyu, bathed in Terastal light, was covered in crystalline armor, crowned with a massive pink heart bearing white wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d guessed right—Mimikyu’s type was Terastal Fairy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this was the decisive moment, Luo Mu unhesitatingly crossed his arms before him; his Z-Ring erupted in blinding light, and his hands, Mimikyu’s Shadow Claw, and Dragonite, reveling in its dance, struck their full-power poses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Z-Ring’s radiance and most of his own HP poured entirely into Mimikyu; its Terastal form did not block the energy’s flow—and, to Luo Mu’s delight, the unique Z-Move symbol appeared before Mimikyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing his embarrassment, Luo Mu swore inwardly he’d someday find a way to skip the Z-Move dance, then declared sternly, “Mimikyu, Intimate Crush!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonite raised both arms and roared, “Boooh~~!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two real eyes on Mimikyu’s doll blazed with brilliant light; its speed skyrocketed as it lunged straight at Capu Moomoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was the hunter—and Capu Moomoo, the prey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capu Moomoo’s keen senses sensed an immense danger approaching—undoubtedly, the feeling came from Mimikyu, which had not only used a Z-Move but now appeared as if carved from crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capu Moomoo chose to flee at full speed; across the grassy field, it and Mimikyu engaged in a chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their pursuit, Mimikyu, in its current state, proved superior; just as it closed in, Mimikyu leapt high, its doll transforming into a vast “capture net” that descended over Capu Moomoo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by overwhelming danger, Capu Moomoo hastily lowered its shell, assuming the defensive posture all Capu family members could enter, hoping its hardened shell could withstand Mimikyu’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After “capturing” Capu Moomoo, a thunderous crash echoed, pink smoke surged around Mimikyu, and glittering particles from the Terastal boost scattered like fireflies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Mu knew Mimikyu’s attacks were now raining down on Capu Moomoo like hail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This assault lasted a full minute—and coincidentally, Mimikyu had captured Capu Moomoo near the original crater left by the mallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that crater had expanded more than several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack sounds faded; Mimikyu, visibly weakened, stepped out of the crater, and as Dragonite blew away the pink smoke, Capu Moomoo’s true form was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My god…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui’s eyes widened, as if witnessing something beyond his worldview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the crater, Capu Moomoo’s shattered shell lay battered and wounded; though the Grass Terrain and its passive absorption of surrounding plant energy were repairing its shell and injuries at a terrifying pace,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kukui had to accept this reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Luo Mu and Mimikyu had just landed a devastating blow on the Island Guardian, Capu Moomoo—something utterly unimaginable for a native Alolan like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after challenging the Elite Four of Kanto, Kukui had never imagined he’d fight—and defeat—an Island Guardian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly ten breaths, Capu Moomoo’s condition had recovered over half its strength; its shattered shell was fully repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It floated up, shaken—had its strength and durability not surpassed Mimikyu’s, it would have been instantly KO’d.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of outsider is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the stunned Kukui and Capu Moomoo, Luo Mu, Mimikyu, and Dragonite lowered their eyes in frustration—was even this not enough to defeat the Island Guardian, Capu Moomoo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In their view, Capu Moomoo regained mobility within three breaths, while Mimikyu, burdened by both Terastalization and the Z-Move, could not pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they continued, they would lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capu Moomoo didn’t know their thoughts; it solemnly dismissed the Grass Terrain and looked at Luo Mu and Mimikyu, saying, “Moomoo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your trial—has passed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this weekend, updates will return to the usual schedule: two 4K chapters per week; if I have time, I’ll write more and drop extra chapters unpredictably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-20T17:11:47.132Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6303a264af19f30c1c3537126fcce0d368a03ec7845724cf36727cd052a84610","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-97","pokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-chapter-95",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-the-reemployment-of-a-paldea-former-cham-cover.jpg"]
