Chapter 1346

It sighed helplessly. There was no helping it; since Ogerpon had become friends with Su Hao and had become his Pokémon, the magnanimous Ogerpon decided to satisfy its friend's whimsical request.

Thus, Ogerpon performed the skill of seamlessly switching masks in front of Su Hao. The Teal, Wellspring, Hearthflame, and Cornerstone masks were switched by Ogerpon incessantly, as quickly as the face-changing in Sichuan opera.

Su Hao watched the whole process in a daze, unable to figure out where Ogerpon kept the masks or why it could instantly produce a new one.

Facing Su Hao's inquiry, Ogerpon just turned its head away haughtily, indicating that it had its own clever methods and there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

Moreover, through the Aura, Su Hao could clearly perceive that every time Ogerpon switched masks, the energy within its body would undergo a certain change.

In gaming terms, it was as if each mask represented a separate energy bar and health bar, perfectly matching the battle plot from the game in Su Hao's memory when he captured Ogerpon.

Ogerpon with four masks possessed four energy bars and four health bars...!

This discovery made Su Hao gasp.

As a Legendary Pokémon, Ogerpon's power was already formidable with the masks, let alone having four independent energy bars and health bars...

Looking at it this way, Ogerpon's strength surpassed most of the Pokémon in the team right from the start!

The remaining few would have to fight it head-on to determine the winner.

By the time Su Hao returned to the vicinity of the camp, the Pokémon had already been back for a long time. A large pile of Terastal crystals was placed in front of Cyclizar for it to consume; it was evident that today's harvest was very good.

The return of Su Hao and Ogerpon immediately attracted their attention. Incineroar, relying on its larger size and strength, squeezed over in a few moves.

It looked like it was asking for credit, indicating that it had played a part in that pile of Terastal crystals.

"Alright, alright, you're the best."

Su Hao perfunctorily praised Incineroar a few times and agreed to its request for an extra meal tonight. Seeing its smug look, he pondered for a moment and then said, "Tiger, you and Ogerpon are both Pokémon skilled in power. Before eating, you can spar to increase your understanding of each other."

"Ga-roar?"

Incineroar looked at Ogerpon hesitantly. Could this little thing spar with it in power?

If they really fought, it was afraid it might accidentally make Ogerpon cry. Maybe it should just forget it; Ogerpon's background was quite pitiful.

But Ogerpon was quite interested in Su Hao's suggestion, constantly letting out "Oger-pon" battle cries and looking at Incineroar, eager to try.

It was just the right time to test its power after retrieving the masks.

Su Hao was also quite curious about exactly how strong Ogerpon's combat power was right now without Terastallizing.

Not counting Zeraora, Incineroar now possessed the Dark Aura, which was highly targeted against Psychic-type Pokémon, and the Current Propulsion, which had an even more exaggerated amplification amplitude after adding the Interlaced Force.

Even though it was currently at the mid-Gym Leader level, Incineroar's actual combat power was at least at the top level among Gym Leader-level Pokémon. Coupled with the power of the Magnetic Field Rotation prototype constructed by Zeraora's magnetic field, Incineroar could threaten Heavenly King-level Pokémon.

Su Hao really wanted to know who was better between it and Ogerpon, so he chose to stir the pot: "No way, no way, Tiger, are you afraid to fight a little girl like Ogerpon?"

"Ga-roar!!"

Incineroar's face turned red instantly. What did it mean that it was afraid to fight Ogerpon? It had finally shown some chivalry, only to be mocked. Fight then, who was afraid of whom!

The aggressive Incineroar grabbed Ogerpon and was about to go have a good spar.

Su Hao, whose scheme had succeeded, smiled and gave Diancie a look, telling it to keep an eye on Incineroar and the others.

Who knew that Milotic, Lucario, and the other Pokémon were also very interested in the battle between Incineroar and Ogerpon, and they swarmed over in a flash.

For a time, only Su Hao and Cyclizar, who was crunching on Terastal crystals, remained nearby.

Listening to the sounds of fighting that had already begun over there, Su Hao moved closer to Cyclizar, placed his hand on its back, and Aura power surged out.

Since its cover was blown anyway, Cyclizar had no intention of hiding, allowing Su Hao to explore its body.

After a while, Su Hao withdrew his right hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

He had always been curious about how Terastal crystals increased Cyclizar's power and why only Cyclizar could rely on crystals to increase its power.

Now, he might have already found the answer.

What Cyclizar essentially needed was still Terastal energy. It was precisely because it was wrapped in Terastal crystals that it allowed its constitution, which could not absorb energy, to retain Terastal energy.

And the essence of Terastal energy was that once it gathered to a certain degree, it could cause phenomena that traversed time and space.

The current Cyclizar was not "increasing its power" but rather, by borrowing the special effects of Terastal energy, "reproducing" its past power on its body.
