Chapter 693: Ghost and Horse United! Miracle Berry!

Chapter 693: Ghost and Horse United! Miracle Berry! (Combined Chapter, Seeking Monthly Votes!)

"Is it Dynamax?!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Daiya quickly reacted.

A few days ago, he had encountered a super Dynamax Mammoth in the distance from Frost Village and even had a battle.

"Two beams!"

Two Galar Particles must mean that two Pokémon will be affected, entering an uncontrollable Dynamax state.

Jing He was also a bit puzzled.

"Have the Galar Particles in the Galar region become this uncontrollable? Has Eternatus awoken?"

The sudden appearance of two Galar Particles made it hard not to suspect that something was wrong with Eternatus.

Or perhaps...

Loz did this intentionally?

To provide Dan with more training and battle opportunities during his peak?

Or to build up Dan's reputation, so that when he becomes champion, it will be even more impressive?

Dan's peak strength is unquestionable, and he is very powerful. However, even before reaching his peak, his reputation as an "invincible champion" was already well-known, and Loz must have put in a lot of effort for this.

"What?" Daiya didn't catch Jing He's muttering.

"Nothing." Jing He shook his head and teased, "I told you, you're a jinx."

Daiya wanted to use his usual retort, "Maybe it's a problem with Teacher Jing He."

But then he thought about it.

This time, he did encounter the super Dynamax Mammoth first, and now two Galar Particles have appeared again.

Could it really be my problem?

Daiya was confused.

As Jing He and Daiya teased each other, the two crimson Galar Particles sliced through the night sky, descending vertically with no resistance.

One beam landed in the dense canopy of the Giant Tree.

The other beam struck the leader of the Ampharos nearby, right in front of Jing He and Daiya.

Rumble—

Instantly, a surge of intense energy rippled through the sky, forming swirling red clouds with faint thunder accompanying them. Two fierce auras surged wildly.

Feeling these auras, the wild Pokémon around them fled from their nests, only to immediately retreat in terror upon seeing the scene.

The Ampharos and Gligar chattered incessantly, seemingly confused about what was happening to their leader.

However, before the Ampharos leader transformed, a terrifying cry echoed from within the Giant Tree's canopy.

"Kreee—!!"

A large bird draped in black flames emerged, flapping its wings. Surrounded by the red clouds, its body rapidly expanded at an exaggerated speed.

It was clearly a Dynamax Flareon!

The next moment.

"Shrii!!"

A low, deep cry, and the Ampharos's body also began to rapidly grow, bathed in the red clouds and Galar Particles, reaching toward the sky.

The Gligar and Ampharos watched their leader with mouths agape, nearly at a ninety-degree angle.

How did it grow so big all of a sudden?!

Is the leader having a growth spurt?

Dynamax Ampharos!

In an instant, two powerful Pokémon completed their Dynamax transformations, their strength surging!

Daiya, who had seen Dynamax before, wasn't overly surprised but still asked:

"What do we do, Teacher Jing He?"

What do we do?

Jing He adjusted his glasses and said irritably:

"Obviously, we fight."

He quickly added:

"Try to end the battle quickly to minimize the impact. Keep the commotion to a minimum, and absolutely do not damage the Giant Tree!"

We must end the battle quickly and control the noise.

Otherwise, even if we win, it will be a disaster for this region and the wild Pokémon living here.

"This Ampharos is yours."

With that, Jing He ran toward the Dynamax Flareon, grabbing the Key Stone attached to the end of his glasses' anti-slip chain.

It was already glowing with a brilliant light.

Since we need to end the battle quickly and minimize the noise, we can't use this to train our Pokémon, and we can't hold back.

"Gengue, Male!"

Gengue, Male, already mounted on his horse, grinned and tightened the reins.

"Neigh—"

The Spectral Horse neighed, its front hooves high in the air, surrounded by a mist of spiritual energy, and it galloped through the air.

"Mega Evolution!!"

Gengue, Male's body erupted with a rainbow of light, and he underwent the transformation of Mega Evolution while riding the Spectral Horse.

Sharper spikes, a mysterious golden eye on his forehead, the same smile, and an even more powerful Ghost-type energy.

"Neigh!!"

The Spectral Horse seemed to be influenced by Gengue, Male's Mega Evolution. The reins fit perfectly, its front hooves high, and it neighed loudly in the air.

Hmm?

Even Jing He felt a bit strange.

It feels like...

I have four more legs?

Mega Evolution is a process where the bond between the trainer and Pokémon becomes tangible, with their wills and consciousness connecting.

Jing He and Gengue, Male have undergone Mega Evolution countless times, and they are thoroughly familiar with each other's states and changes after evolution.

But this time, there was a slight difference.

The "fusion" of the Crown King and the Snowstorm Horse was facilitated by the "Bond Reins", as well as the bond that had long been established between the two.

If the Crown King, Snowstorm Horse, and Spectral Horse were like the "Three Dragons of the Path", it would make sense. However, the Crown King and the two horses had gradually become compatible over time.

So, if Gengue, Male, the Spectral Horse, the "Bond Reins", and the power of Mega Evolution were all involved, wouldn't it be...

Otherwise, what would explain the feeling of having four more legs and the sensation of commanding them as if they were part of his own body?

Moreover, Gengue, Male and the Spectral Horse had attributes that were quite compatible.

"Screech!!!"

Just as Jing He and Gengue, Male were surprised by the changes, the already Dynamax Flareon was not about to remain idle.

It flapped its enormous wings, and a powerful, indescribable malevolence erupted from its body. With a long cry, the Dark energy burst forth like a volcanic eruption.

Dynamax Shadow Ball!

This was the Dynamax version of a Dark-type move.

In addition to the increased range, it also carried the special effect of the Dynamax move, which could lower the Special Defense of all the opponent's Pokémon.

The overwhelming Dark energy was impossible to dodge.

"Gengue, Male!"

Jing He and Mega Gengue, Male put aside their various thoughts and focused on the impending clash.

Hum—

The Spectral Horse snorted, and a mist representing Ghost-type energy enveloped both it and Gengue, Male, causing them to vanish into thin air!

Phantom Assault!

And just as the Dynamax Shadow Ball was about to land, it was met with a burst of Life Energy-infused moonlight.

"Howl!!!"

Nine-Tails!

Its four legs pressed against the ground, and the vibrant life force of the plain, especially the Giant Tree in the Giant Tree Hills, rustled in response to Nine-Tails' Earth Control.

Its nine tails spread out like a fan, and the bright moon in the clear night sky made Nine-Tails' Moonblast reach its maximum range.

Boom!!

The explosion echoed, and dust scattered.

The Dynamax Flareon's Dynamax Shadow Ball was countered by Nine-Tails' Moonblast, causing no damage to the plain, the Pokémon on it, or the Giant Tree.

At the same time.

Gengue, Male and the Spectral Horse reappeared in the sky behind the Dynamax Flareon.

"Ha-cha!"

With a somewhat playful cry, the Dynamax Flareon turned around just in time to see Gengue, Male raising his spiky palm.

Star-like light points began to appear around him and the Spectral Horse, quickly converging on Gengue, Male's palm.

At that moment, the moon in the night sky seemed to dim, and the light points around Gengue, Male and the Spectral Horse shone like countless stars.

Jing He's heart skipped a beat as he watched this scene.

He remembered what the Crown King had told him earlier.

"When I ride the Spectral Horse, my mental energy is channeled through the reins into its body, enhancing its power. In an instant, it can create countless soul stars. When we gather the power of these stars, this move is called—"

Star Shatter!

This move was a "strengthening" of the Spectral Horse's power by the Crown King, with the key being the Spectral Horse!

At that moment, Gengue, Male's palm was like the brightest star in the night sky.

With a low cry and the Spectral Horse's neigh,

He swung his palm.

Falling Star!

Star Shatter!

Boom!!!

A terrifying Ghost-type energy exploded from the back of the Dynamax Flareon, with such force that it knocked the Pokémon out of the sky.

"Screech!!!"

The Flareon cried out in pain.

"Ha-cha."

Gengue, Male looked down at his palm, seemingly surprised by the move he had just performed.

The feeling was... a bit strange.

"Neigh!!!"

The Spectral Horse glanced back at the Mega Gengue, Male on its back and pursed its lips.

The power was certainly less than when the Crown King used it, but the fact that they could use it at all was quite unexpected.

Moreover, unlike the Crown King, who infused Psychic energy, Gengue, Male infused purely Ghost-type energy.

Of course, the strain on Gengue, Male was significant.

Watching the falling star, Jing He clicked his tongue.

"Gengue, Male has received an epic boost."

But this "man-horse unity", the fusion of two Pokémon, or rather, the combination of two Pokémon, would definitely not be allowed in official league battles.

It was unlikely to be permitted even in the "Champion's Path."

A pity.

Jing He sighed inwardly.

Otherwise, if Gengue were to fuse with Mythical Beasts, he might even be able to steamroll the Champion’s path. After all, this would be the combined strength of the "Bonded Reins", which is far more powerful than the simple sum of their individual strengths.

No, no, no.

Perhaps this should be called a fusion of spirit and steed?

"Screech!!!"

The Dynamax Flareon managed to stabilize itself, its massive wings flapping as it fiercely charged toward Gengue and the Spectral Horse.

"Shadow Ball!"

"Gengue!"

Gengue took a deep breath and instantly formed a massive Shadow Ball.

Previously, the "Star Shatter" was Gengue lending his power to the Spectral Horse, using the horse’s strength to execute the move.

This time, the Shadow Ball was the Spectral Horse lending its power to Gengue, allowing him to execute the move with his own techniques.

After all, Gengue still mastered the skills of the "Ghost Legion."

So even without the "Star Shatter", the combination of Gengue and the Spectral Horse was still a significant enhancement.

The Shadow Ball struck.

Boom!!

The massive impact dispersed part of the dark red mist surrounding the Flareon.

"Screech—!!!"

The Flareon then struggled and let out a cry, no longer launching another attack but instead trembling its wings in place.

Seeing this, Jinghe immediately understood the Flareon’s condition.

Eternatus was powerful, but trying to make a Mythical Beast like the Galar Flareon completely lose its mind with just a single burst of Galar Particles was no easy task.

After Gengue and the Spectral Horse’s two powerful strikes, part of the Galar Particles on the Flareon were dispelled, causing it to struggle.

"Screech!!!"

It cried again, and dark red energy particles began to scatter from its body.

At the same time, the Flareon’s form visibly shrank, returning to its original size.

The red cloud vortex above its head dissipated, and it slowly fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Jinghe glanced at the Flareon, confirming that it had freed itself from the Galar Particles and had no intention of attacking again. He then signaled Gengue to turn around and head to Daiya’s aid.

"Click"

The Forger, holding a hammer, reluctantly put it down, scratching his head with a look of regret.

What a pity, such a big bird.

He had thought it would be another big battle, giving him a chance to join in.

But who knew that after just two strikes from Gengue, the Flareon would break free from the Galar Particles and recover.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Dynamax Ampharos and Daiya had already reached a fever pitch.

The Ampharos dared to face the Flareon not only because of the Giant Tree and its colony but also due to its own formidable strength.

With the boost from Dynamax and Jinghe’s instruction to avoid too much destruction, Daiya and his Pokémon were somewhat restrained.

But even so, the commotion was still significant, and there was a growing risk of losing control.

After all, Daiya was the type of person who would forget himself in battle, and his fire-type Pokémon were known for their destructive nature.

In a professional battlefield, this might be manageable, but in the wild, avoiding significant destruction was indeed challenging.

Fortunately,

Jinghe resolved the Flareon issue unexpectedly quickly and then rushed over.

"Neigh—"

The Spectral Horse hovered in front of the Dynamax Ampharos, carrying Gengue.

With the experience of dealing with the Dynamax Flareon, Jinghe and Gengue acted decisively.

"Hypnosis!"

After successfully drawing the Ampharos’s attention, Gengue waved his arms and cast Hypnosis.

The Ampharos’s eyelids immediately began to droop, and its massive body started to sway.

Dark red particles began to peel off from the Ampharos’s body.

Dynamax and Terastallization, in essence, are quite similar.

Both involve using the partial power of an incredibly strong Pokémon, transforming and applying it to the Pokémon, granting a certain level of enhancement.

Having experienced Terastallization and the Dynamax Flareon, Jinghe and Gengue had gained some understanding.

This method of forcibly injecting Galar Particles to induce Dynamax was much more crude compared to using the Dynamax Band.

"Whoosh."

As the Ampharos’s body leaned backward, it rapidly shrank in size.

Bang—

When it finally fell to the ground, it had returned to its original size, causing minimal destruction and commotion.

"Phew—"

Daiya let out a sigh of relief.

Honestly,

This restrained battle was truly uncomfortable and unsatisfying for him.

But his reaction made Jinghe suddenly think that perhaps he could give his Pokémon some "weight training"?

For example, by restricting Pokémon in their most familiar and proficient methods, habits, and practices, they can be pushed into a certain degree of discomfort, which can lead to reinforcement from a different dimension.

Take energy control, for instance.

Daiya’s Pokémon are more famous than he is for being “field destroyers.”

However, destroying the field, except in certain situations like using Earthquake, often results from a lack of energy concentration or the waste of energy or power.

It’s not necessary to completely avoid destroying the field, but if they can gain more control and focus more of the energy that would otherwise dissipate, wouldn’t their moves become more powerful?

This fleeting thought crossed Jinghe’s mind, and he silently noted it, deciding to try it out once he had the consent and approval of his Pokémon.

He looked at the unconscious leader of the Ampharos.

As it fell, a large number of items scattered from its fluffy tail.

Most were berries, but there were also some strange and unusual items that seemed quite complex at first glance.

Even the berries were of very high quality and rare, some of which Jinghe had never seen before.

Wow, this tail can hide so much?

It’s almost as good as Gengue's, right?

No wonder so many trainers in the wild like to target Ampharos, especially when food is scarce. They are often referred to as “survival rations in the wild.”

Thinking of Gengue,

“Gengue!”

Jinghe immediately called out to the purple, chubby little guy who was tiptoeing and cautiously approaching the unconscious Ampharos.

This sneak, trying to loot the spoils?

And in front of so many Gligar and Ampharos.

When Jinghe called out, Gengue gave a sheepish smile and paused his actions.

But soon, he picked up a fallen berry and placed it next to the sleeping Ampharos.

“Gengue~”

I’m just helping, I’m not that kind of sneak~

He said, grinning and showing his white teeth.

Jinghe rolled his eyes. He didn’t believe Gengue’s lies, but the Gligar and Ampharos did.

Finding lost items and returning them, this is what a good person does, right?

Especially after previously giving energy bars, sharing curry, and helping to “calm” the Ampharos leader, the Gligar and Ampharos now looked at Gengue and Jinghe’s group differently.

Snap—

Gengue lightly snapped his fingers, waking up the sleeping Ampharos.

“Shurili?”

The Ampharos sat up groggily, showing its two large front teeth, and yawned widely.

Upon seeing the big, ghostly face in front of it, it suddenly jumped up from the ground.

Then it noticed that its “treasure” was scattered all over the ground.

Its eyes widened, and it quickly forgot about Gengue, bending down to skillfully and swiftly stuff the items back into its tail.

It was hard to imagine how much the Ampharos’s tail could hold.

The already fluffy tail, which was already larger than its body, swelled up even more after stuffing all the “treasure” back in.

“Shurili—”

After confirming nothing was missing, the Ampharos let out a long sigh of relief and wiped its forehead.

“Shurili?”

It then looked puzzled, completely forgetting what had just happened.

Only after a few Ampharos and Gligar vividly recounted the events and acted them out with exaggerated gestures did the Ampharos leader understand what had happened.

The Ampharos looked at Gengue, who was eyeing its tail, and suddenly jumped over a meter high, lightly patting Gengue’s shoulder and nodding repeatedly.

“Shurili~ Shurili!”

Good kid, good kid!

“Gengue?”

Good kid? Me? Old me?

Gengue pointed at himself, looking bewildered.

It was the first time he had been called that.

Watching Gengue and the Ampharos argue about who was smaller, Jinghe smiled and shook his head.

Although the incident happened suddenly, it didn’t cause any major issues.

“Right! My curry!”

Jinghe suddenly remembered.

He had been busy dealing with the two Galar Particles and the resulting Dynamax, forgetting that he had curry cooking in the pot!

In the Crown Tundra, at the Crown Temple.

The Crown King led the Snowstorm Horse, gradually clearing the temple’s debris, especially focusing on clearing out the stables.

It suddenly looked up.

Frowning.

Two red particle beams streaked across the sky of the Crown Tundra.

As an “old rival,” the Crown King knew this was the power of the meteorite from outer space, Eternatus.

It had already sensed the energy of Eternatus throughout the Galar region upon waking, but these two dark red beams were much more concentrated.

“My people…”

It wondered if its people had been affected by Eternatus, if they were suffering.

But the Crown King chuckled bitterly halfway through its thought.

Nobody remembers it anymore; how could it have any so-called “people”?

The Galar Particles streaked across the sky and landed on the Giant Tree Hills.

“Neigh—”

The Snowstorm Horse suddenly stirred, its hooves pacing back and forth on the ground, as if sensing the power of the Spectral Horse.

"Indeed."

The Crown King's eyes lit up slightly.

"Jinghe and Gengue can indeed command the Spectral Horse, and gain some of its power."

It had long sensed the possibility of a "fusion" between Gengue and the Spectral Horse.

This was why it hadn't rushed to reclaim the Spectral Horse and had let Jinghe and Gengue take it out with them.

On one hand, it wanted to thank Jinghe and Gengue for their help.

On the other hand, it wanted to verify its suspicions.

The facts proved that its guess was correct.

"Teacher Jinghe, what do you think those red beams that fell from the sky are? The Galar League said that you need a Dynamax Band to trigger Dynamax, and it has to be in a specific location, right?"

Daiya asked while eating his curry, the sound of his spoon clinking against the plate accompanying his words.

"Perhaps something we don't know has happened", Jinghe replied vaguely, not bothering to explain further.

"Oh~~"

Daiya nodded thoughtfully.

Eternatus was crucial to the Malokom Group in Loz, and the Malokom Group was omnipresent in the Galar region.

Its influence could be found in almost every corner and aspect of the Galar region, from the region's energy and Dynamax arenas to everyday life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

While its reputation wasn't as great as those of Silvion and Devon, its scale was no smaller than theirs. After Loz became the president of the Galar League, the Malokom Group could be considered a semi-official league asset.

Under these circumstances, unless Eternatus fully awakened and broke free from Loz's control, anyone who provoked the Malokom Group could be labeled as an enemy of the Galar League.

Alternatively, they could wait for Dan to become the champion and use his status and reputation to investigate the matter.

But that wasn't Jinghe and Daiya's concern.

"Stop posing over there. Do you want to eat or not?"

Jinghe turned to ask.

He saw Gengue, mounted on the Spectral Horse, standing under the moonlight with sunglasses, exuding a mix of righteousness and villainy.

Beside him, the Ampharos leader stood with its hands behind its back, gazing at the Giant Tree with an air of deep concern for the nation's welfare.

Upon hearing Jinghe's words:

"Gengue!"

"Shurii!"

Their carefully maintained poses instantly crumbled, and they rushed toward Jinghe with their eating utensils.

Gengue held its iron arm, while the Ampharos leader carried a wooden bowl, clearly bitten out of a tree trunk, so large it could serve as a bed.

They ran eagerly to Jinghe's large pot, holding their bowls expectantly.

Jinghe smiled and shook his head, giving them each a generous serving of rice and a thick layer of curry.

It was only because he could hide a lot of things in Gengue's shadow while traveling that he could afford this curry. Otherwise, just the rice alone would be a significant expense.

After a hearty meal, with even the bowls licked clean, Jinghe approached the Ampharos leader.

He expressed his desire to explore the tree canopy and perhaps break off a few branches from the central area for transplantation.

The Ampharos leader waved its hand in agreement for entering the canopy but, regarding Jinghe's request to break off some central branches:

"Shurii!" (Go ask it yourself!)

The Ampharos leader scratched its butt, sniffed it, and said casually.

This familiar gesture...

Jinghe glanced at Gengue, who also scratched its butt and sniffed it carefully, then grinned when it noticed Jinghe's gaze.

"Ask it?" Jinghe looked at the Giant Tree.

From the Ampharos's tone, did this tree have some form of consciousness?

Zygarde?

"Shurii~"

The Ampharos leader beckoned Jinghe and the others to follow.

It then walked toward the Giant Tree with its hands behind its back, swaying slightly.

Jinghe and the Pokémon followed, intrigued by what they might find inside the tree canopy.

Only Gengue kept its eyes fixed on the Ampharos's tail, its gaze intense.

This was a treasure trove!

When they reached the base of the Giant Tree, they saw the Flareon licking its wounds beside the tree. It showed no reaction when Jinghe and the others approached.

Jinghe walked up to the Flareon and placed some energy bars to help it recover, then followed the Ampharos into the tree canopy under the Flareon's complex gaze.

Honestly, the view from the outside and the inside of the tree canopy were completely different. Despite the dense foliage, the space inside was surprisingly vast and spacious.

Even though it was night and the moonlight was blocked by the thick leaves, the light inside the canopy was surprisingly good.

Numerous tiny lights, perhaps fireflies, emitted a faint glow, illuminating the entire canopy with a soft radiance. It felt as if they had stepped into a vast starry sky.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

A gentle breeze blew, and the leaves rustled like waves.

The leader of the Ampharos was clearly very familiar with this place. Even with eyes closed, they knew the way, leading Jing He and the others to the very center of the canopy.

For some reason, as they approached the center, Jing He felt a vibrant, invigorating energy. With each breath, it seemed as if every pore in his body was slowly opening up.

The Power of Life?

Having experienced the blessing of Zygarde, Jing He had become quite sensitive to the Power of Life. The reactions of Nine-Tails and the Blacksmith confirmed this.

"Ge ga~"

Gengue tugged at Jing He's clothes and pointed to the center of the canopy, where three fruits of varying maturity were hanging.

Tree fruits?

Jing He was taken aback.

Was this a Miracle Berry tree?

Why had he never heard of such a tree?

No, wait.

Grandpa Fu's "Berry Encyclopedia" mentioned something about it.

Jing He furrowed his brow, trying to recall.

Slowly, his eyes brightened.

"Miracle Berries?!"

The raw material for making "Miracle Candy"!

Jing He had obtained "Miracle Candy" before and still had three left.

Unlike in the games, where a single "Miracle Candy" could instantly level up any Pokémon regardless of its level or power, the real "Miracle Candy" had more nuanced effects. The specific benefits varied depending on the Pokémon's condition.

But in any case, it was a good thing.

According to the League, "Miracle Candy" was almost impossible to produce now, and the existing stock was dwindling. Some researchers in the League were still trying to replicate it.

For example, in the Pokémon Super Generation series, a researcher named Dr. Gordon developed a special candy similar to "Miracle Candy." However, due to its incomplete development, while it could boost a Pokémon's power, it also caused side effects like abnormal growth and deformities.

In the Pokémon Special series, "Miracle Candy" was used to not only level up Pokémon but also to provide a significant temporary power boost.

Grandpa Fu's "Berry Encyclopedia" mentioned Miracle Berries, but he noted that the Miracle Berry tree seemed to have vanished. He speculated that the tree's extremely high environmental and nutritional requirements made it difficult to cultivate.

He also guessed that such trees might still exist in special, enclosed spaces, ruins, or secret realms, or perhaps near the World Tree.

Jing He never expected to find one here.

"No wonder."

Jing He was enlightened.

No wonder the Ampharos living in this tree were generally of a higher level, with an average level exceeding forty, far surpassing those in the wild. Not to mention the Ampharos leader who had faced off against the Flareon.

He had assumed it was due to the rich natural conditions and perhaps the influence of the giant tree and its fruits.

It also made sense that even the temperamental Galar Flareon would calm down when facing this giant tree.

This might be one of the few remaining Miracle Berry trees in the world.

While unprocessed Miracle Berries might not be as effective as "Miracle Candy", they were likely still very powerful.

"Come to think of it, if there are tree fruits, there must be seeds, right? Or perhaps, like Wenyou Berries, they are better propagated through cuttings and transplants?"

Jing He thought to himself. At the Ampharos leader's gesture, he went to pick the mature fruit.

According to the leader, any Pokémon that entered the canopy and encountered a ripe fruit could take one. This was the will of the "Tree Spirit."

"This might be one way the tree propagates itself."

Just like dandelions, which spread their seeds through the wind, some trees rely on Pokémon eating and excreting the seeds to propagate. The giant tree before them used this method.

The three Galar Legendary Birds might return to this area every few decades to help the giant tree propagate?

Since reading Grandpa Fu's books and notes, Jing He had gained a new understanding of such matters.

He grabbed the deep purple fruit with light pink spots, which fit perfectly in one hand. The texture was not much different from ordinary tree fruits.

Snap.

With a light, crisp sound, the fruit fell into his hand.

His Pokémon gathered around, their eyes gleaming with interest.

"Maybe, with the help of Groudon's Magma Soil, the power of the God of Fertility, the Crown King, and some Grass Pokémon like Chewbugs, we can cultivate this tree."
