Chapter 99

Its ruby-like eyes are currently suffused with azure psychic power, appearing very mysterious.

On both sides of its head are red, hair-like fins similar in color to Latias, and it also has red "eyebrows" like a dragon's whiskers, which, when reflecting each other, add a touch of elegance to its temperament.

The tail of its cream-colored body is covered in blue and pink scales similar in color to Latios, and it also bears some black stripes.

In the center of the four large blue scales overlapping at the end of its tail are red oval patterns, looking just like a lady's fan; every element is incredibly harmonious.

With such a beautiful body, it is well-deserving of the title "Most Beautiful Pokémon."

"Fuu~"

An ethereal sound rings out, and Milotic swims wantonly in mid-air as if it were in water.

After evolving, Milotic is able to skillfully use psychic power to fly and swim in the air.

At the same time, its control over water is even more powerful; a single thought is enough to stir up giant waves.

Its physical fitness and vitality have also been greatly enhanced, and its resistance to various types of damage has seen significant progress.

She can feel a vast energy source within her body continuously improving all of her abilities; she imagines this must be the work of her older brother and sister.

【Congratulations, little Mei.】 The telepathic messages from Latios and Latias arrive simultaneously.

【We injected our own source energy along with the energy of the Dragon-type and Psychic-type Pokémon within the secret realm into the Soul Dew.】

【Then, the Soul Dew converted it into the energy most suitable for you, allowing you to merge with this energy during your evolution.】

【Now, your potential is no longer inferior to, and perhaps even surpasses, those Pokémon within the secret realm.】

Latios is very certain that after he and Latias worked together to control the "Infinite" authority to inject energy into the Soul Dew, supplemented by the energy gathered from various Dragon-type and Psychic-type Pokémon, it was enough to change the potential of little Mei while she was evolving.

Although Milotic's external attribute is still solely Water-type, her aptitude for the energy and moves of both the Psychic and Dragon types has reached a very high level.

This is thanks to the Ability 【Adaptability】 of Feebas that Su Hao and Latios discussed when they arrived.

Su Hao first explained the Adaptability Ability to Latios; the Adaptability Ability can increase the power of moves of the same type as the user.

At the same time, Pokémon with this Ability have a very high adaptability to various environments and external forces.

Su Hao proposed a hypothesis to Latios: if Latios and Latias were to artificially intervene during Feebas's evolution, could they improve Milotic's adaptability to the Dragon and Psychic types, resulting in raising Milotic's strength ceiling?

Latios felt that this method had high feasibility; perhaps he and Latias alone could not influence a Pokémon's evolution process, but it would be different if the Soul Dew were used as a relay station.

In fact, the results were very gratifying; through the energy influence of Latios, Latias, and many Pokémon living in the secret realm, Milotic's affinity for these two types even reached the point where a same-type attack bonus could occur.

Although Milotic's external attribute remains Water-type and her resistances are unchanged, her abilities have become more diversified.

Because of the intervention of Latios and Latias's 【Soul Crystal】, the Soul Dew, Milotic has simultaneously learned Purify and Mist Ball.

Milotic followed Latios and Latias, playing and chasing in mid-air for a while.

When Latios and the others were preparing to take Milotic back to the island, Milotic quietly leaned in close to Latios and said a few words.

【Are you sure?】

"Fuu~"

【I am sure.】

【...】

【My brother and I will not stop you, but you must remember, we will always support you from behind.】

Latias's slightly choked-up voice comes through; the three Pokémon cherish the moment for a while before returning to the island.

"The moonlight is truly beautiful."

Su Hao gazes at the moon overhead,

he sighs.

"Na na~" "Ka ao~"

Carbink and Incineroar respond; one human and two pets are currently lying on the grass, admiring the night sky.

Su Hao feels that since Milotic is bonding with her family, he shouldn't go and disturb them.

"Fuu~"

Following a light, ethereal sound, Milotic, draped in moonlight, descends from the sky with Latios and Latias.

Seeing that Milotic and the others have returned, Su Hao hurriedly stands up.

He pats the leaves stuck to his clothes and says to Milotic with a smile: "Congratulations on your evolution, Milotic!"

"Na na~" "Ka ao!"

【Congratulations!】

"Fuu~"

【Thank you, Su Hao. There is something I would like to discuss with you.】

Milotic's serpentine body slowly moves in front of Su Hao.

"What... is it?"

Su Hao looks at Milotic in confusion, then looks at Latios and Latias behind her.

Regarding Su Hao's puzzled gaze, Latios and Latias both choose to close their eyes and shake their heads, offering no response.

"Fuu..."

【I want to... travel with you, become stronger during the journey, and I want to join your team, just like Shiny and the big tiger.】

Although Milotic is very elegant in every gesture, Su Hao can still see from her slightly swaying tail that she is a little nervous.

"You can, welcome to our family, Milotic."

Since Milotic brought it up herself, and Su Hao is very fond of Milotic, why would he refuse?

"Na na~" "Ka ao!"

【Welcome!】

Although Su Hao and Milotic are in agreement, the opinions of Latios and Latias are also very important, as they are, after all, Milotic's guardians.

Thinking of this, Su Hao asks: "Latios, Latias, do you... agree?"

His voice is a bit hesitant, because he can tell from this series of events that these two dote on Milotic very much.

【We have no objections; little Mei has already talked to us.】

Latias says.

Although she is very reluctant to part with Milotic, the child has grown up and wants to go out and see the world, so as her older brother and sister, they can only offer their support.

After Latios is silent for a moment, he suddenly says: 【We have no objections to this, but... Su Hao, take this.】

A flute, black all over with orange patterns, emits a faint light as it falls from the sky.

This is... the Eon Flute?

Su Hao is a bit unsure, so he opens the system's scanning function to check.

【Eon Flute (Legendary Item): No matter where you are, as long as you blow the Eon Flute, you can summon Latios and Latias.】

The description is very brief, and the function is very powerful.

Although it lacks the Mega Evolution function, this ability to summon Legendary Pokémon is enough.

It seems this is all thanks to Milotic...

【This flute, if you encounter danger you cannot handle, such as the Nightmare Pokémon, or an evil organization like the one this time, and you feel you can no longer deal with it, you can summon us through the sound of the flute.】

Seeing the confusion in Su Hao's eyes, Latios explains the function of the Eon Flute to him.
