Chapter 687: The Divine Beast Girl's Expedition, Conquering Kamono!
Chapter 687: The Divine Beast Girl's Expedition, Conquering Kamono!
Crescent Town was bustling with activity during the Masked Festival, drawing numerous trainers from other regions. The town's lights illuminated the mountain path, connecting Crescent Town to Kamono's center, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
Visitors donned Japanese-style yukatas and wore various masks, mingling along the mountain path with their companions, thoroughly enjoying the lively festival.
A large crowd of trainers and residents had also gathered in front of the Civic Center.
The reason for this gathering was an extraordinary Pokemon battle taking place.
A young girl, seemingly five or six years old, was facing off against a teenage girl.
This scene caught the attention of many.
"What's going on here? That child looks so young, and she's already a trainer?"
"Impossible... She doesn't even look six years old yet! You have to be ten years old to become an official trainer."
"If that's the case, how do you explain those three Pokemon behind that girl?"
Amidst the whispers, everyone's gaze shifted to the three mysterious Pokemon standing behind the little girl.
There stood three majestic and awe-inspiring legendary Pokemon.
As a gentle breeze blew, the fiery red Pokemon's mane swayed like clouds, exuding an incredibly cool aura.
"That's... the legendary Pokemon, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou!" someone whispered, unable to conceal their astonishment.
The stance of these three Pokemon clearly indicated that they were guarding the girl in the center.
Who was this girl?
At that moment, everyone's minds were filled with curiosity.
Even Xiao Qing, already a champion, couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure amidst the whispers of the crowd.
"Sister Xiao Qing, I'm ready!" Little Tree exuded the confidence of a natural-born trainer, completely ignoring the surrounding crowd and focusing solely on the upcoming battle.
"Okay... I understand," Xiao Qing sighed, then took out a regular red and white Poke Ball from her side.
Seeing this, Little Tree also took out a Poke Ball from her pocket, saying, "Hey, let's go!"
Both girls released their Poke Balls simultaneously.
Two flashes of light appeared, and a large and a small Pokemon emerged onto the battlefield.
Xiao Qing sent out a Lunala, while Little Tree chose a Minun.
Wait, a Minun?!
The spectators were filled with astonishment.
Had the child chosen the wrong Poke Ball?
The Minun looked so young and inexperienced compared to the well-trained and excellently bred Lunala, which was clearly on a different level.
Was there something wrong with this battle?
Xiao Qing also looked perplexed.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little Tree, are you sure you want to continue?"
"Yes!" Little Tree nodded earnestly, her voice filled with anticipation. "I've been training with Minun for a long time. Sister Xiao Qing, let's have a real Pokemon battle!"
Xiao Qing paused, then understood Little Tree's intention.
Such behavior would be disrespectful to a child aspiring to be a trainer.
If that's the case...
"I understand." Little Tree raised her head. "Little Tree, let's get serious!"
Hearing this, a delighted smile appeared on Little Tree's face. "Yes! Minun, let's go!"
Both sides resumed the battle.
Under Little Tree's command, Minun raised its hand to use Thunder Wave, attempting to inflict a status condition on Lunala.
In the face of such an overwhelming power disparity, these tactics were utterly ineffective.
Xiao Qing's expression turned serious, "Lunala, Play Rough!"
Lunala moved with incredible speed, dodging Minin Dragon's Thunder Wave like a phantom. Then, with a powerful swing of its claws, it sent Minin Dragon flying.
Minin Dragon fell to the ground, its fighting ability completely gone.
"Minin Dragon!" Xiao Shu quickly ran over and took out Life Milk from the bag her father had prepared for her, feeding it to Minin Dragon.
Seeing Minin Dragon regain its fighting ability, Xiao Shu finally relaxed.
At that moment, she realized something.
Xiao Qing's strength was formidable! It was far beyond what Minin Dragon and Skrelp could handle.
If that was the case...
"Bogo!"
The Totten Turtle in the backpack couldn't hold back any longer. It flew out of Xiao Shu's bag.
As a close friend traveling with Xiao Shu, it couldn't stand by and watch her get defeated. So, it was time for it to step up!
Minin Dragon returned to its Poke Ball, and Totten Turtle took the field!
"Totten Turtle, do you want to battle?" Xiao Shu asked.
"Bogo!" Totten Turtle nodded its small head and looked at Lunala across from it with determination.
"Totten Turtle..." Xiao Qing was shocked. A child of Xiao Shu's age could control a Pokemon like Totten Turtle.
When she had visited Lan Mei Xue Yuan for an exchange, a teacher named Bai Lei Ya had told her about the Pantier Giant Pit, Tera Energy, and Totten Turtle.
This Pokemon, resembling a small turtle in appearance and size, was actually an ancient legendary Pokemon that had survived for millions of years!
Xiao Qing's face turned solemn.
Unlike Xiao Qing, the tourists and Trainers around them had never seen Totten Turtle before.
Initially, they thought it was just like Minin Dragon, a Pokemon that had barely reached novice level.
But when the battle started and the Pokemon's body erupted with dazzling light, everyone realized their mistake.
The brilliant light, the overwhelming Tera Energy, and the intimidating aura...
This Pokemon was definitely not a novice-level Pokemon!
"Tera Energy..." Someone recognized the change occurring in the Pokemon's body, a popular form of transformation in the Paldea Region!
"But without a Gigantamax pearl, how can it undergo Tera Energy transformation?"
No one knew the answer to this question.
No one could have imagined that this Pokemon was the origin of Tera Energy transformation! But just as everyone thought it was a regular transformation, they were horrified to see that the changes in the Pokemon's body didn't stop!
Its body continued to grow, eventually taking the shape of a planet, surrounded by a circle of crystals formed from various Type Energies.
Above this planet, a giant turtle lay, and on its head, a small turtle perched! This scene caught everyone off guard.
What was going on with this Pokemon?
Totten Turtle had grown even bigger!
Xiao Shu had never seen Totten Turtle like this before, and her mouth hung open in surprise.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
It was like a star!
"Bogo!"
With its Star Crystalization complete, Totten Turtle's Tera Energy intensified to a terrifying level.
It turned to look at Xiao Shu and said, "Bogo!"
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
It felt like an eternity had passed, yet it could've only been a few seconds.
When everyone snapped back to reality, they witnessed the Lunala lying on the ground, its battle prowess diminished.
The crowd exclaimed in unison, "!!!"
Some stared blankly at the scene they had just recorded on their Rotom Phones.
How could this Pokemon be so formidable?
Xiao Qing stood speechless.
Meanwhile, Little Tree gazed at Totten Turtle's back, deep in thought. Suddenly, she spoke up, "Xiao Qing Sister, let's call it a day here!"
Xiao Qing was slightly taken aback but noticed Little Tree's demeanor. Without saying much, she gently nodded.
"Okay."
"This is the milk Dad gave me. If a Pokemon drinks it, they'll regain their health!" Little Tree ran over and handed Life Milk to Xiao Qing.
She stroked Totten Turtle's head, now restored to its original form, and said, "You did well, Totten Turtle!"
"Bogo!"
"Xiao Qing Sister, let's head back!" Little Tree tugged at Xiao Qing's hand.
Xiao Qing nodded and, accompanied by Little Tree and the Three Emperors, returned to their lodgings.
Little Tree seemed preoccupied. As soon as she entered her room, she eagerly picked up her Rotom Phone and called her father.
The call connected quickly.
"What's up, Little Tree? Have you arrived safely in Kamono?" Mr. Shizuru asked.
Little Tree nodded, "Yes! Dad, I just had a Pokemon battle with Xiao Qing Sister!"
Mr. Shizuru's eyes widened. He knew it!
"How did it go?" he asked patiently.
"I lost..." Little Tree's tone was dejected, "...but Totten Turtle helped me defeat Xiao Qing Sister's Lunala."
"Then why aren't you happy?" Mr. Shizuru had sensed something amiss with his daughter from the moment the call connected.
"Because..." Little Tree furrowed her brows, looking deeply troubled, "...I feel like I'm not a qualified Trainer..."
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why would you suddenly think that?" Mr. Shizuru was genuinely surprised.
"I've never raised a Totten Turtle, and I don't know how to command one. I don't even know what moves it can use."
"Defeating Xiao Qing Sister's Lunala was solely due to Totten Turtle's strength. With just me and Minin Dragon, we wouldn't have stood a chance."
"In that case, I'm not a qualified Trainer," Little Tree voiced her thoughts.
Relying solely on a Pokemon's power while the Trainer does nothing doesn't make one a true Trainer.
"I see..." Mr. Shizuru paused, then smiled with relief, "You're truly my daughter, Little Tree. I'm glad you realized this so early on."
Little Tree looked up at her father.
Mr. Shizuru continued with a smile, "Totten Turtle likes you a lot. They want to travel with you, and from their perspective, your relationship isn't quite that of a Trainer and their Pokemon. What should we do in such a situation?"
Little Tree's face was filled with hesitation. After much thought, she shook her head, "I don't know..."
"Listen, Little Tree," Mr. Shizuru began, "Your thoughts aren't wrong. In times like these, we should focus on training and nurturing Burning Bug and Minin Dragon to become powerful Pokemon."
"When your strength surpasses theirs, when it's enough to earn Totten Turtle's approval, only then can you become their true Trainer, standing behind them and fighting alongside them."
Mr. Shizuru was delighted that his daughter had come to this realization early on.
Unlike him, he knew he had a ways to go in terms of commanding Pokemon compared to champions like Dante and Adek.
His victory in that Master Eight Tournament was purely due to luck.
However, being just a farm owner and not a professional Trainer, he could get by with minimal effort when it came to commanding Pokemon in battles.
Hearing these words, Little Tree's expression turned thoughtful.
After a long while, she snapped back to reality, apparently having figured things out.
Looking at Totten Turtle by her side, determination filled Little Tree's face.
"Totten Turtle, I'll definitely work hard to become stronger, earn your approval, and fight alongside you!"
"Bogo!" Totten Turtle, though unaware of the situation, sensed Little Tree's desire to battle with them and happily agreed, "Bogo!"
Mr. Shizuru, watching through the Rotom Phone, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as events would prove, Mr. Shizuru's relief was short-lived.
The next day, a trending topic swept across the internet: "Shocking! Kamono Town Girl Seen with Multiple Legendary Pokemon!"
