Pokémon: Newborn Ash Ketchum, starting from Hoenn

"Leave him to me!"

At this moment, a figure walked out from the direction where Rockdog had walked. It was Xiaozhi! Pikachu and Eevee followed closely beside him, and they walked quickly towards Tapu Butterfree together.

Tapu Butterfly didn't seem surprised or scared by Xiaozhi's arrival. Instead, it let out a series of clear and sweet laughter, and like an innocent child, it flew lightly to Xiaozhi's side and danced around him happily three times. Then, it floated away like a gust of wind, leaving only a string of silver bell-like laughter echoing in the air.

Then Xiaozhi walked to the side of Rock Dog, took out a resurrection grass, and fed it into Rock Dog's mouth. However, before Xiaozhi had time to use the power of Changpan to heal Rock Dog's injuries, Rock Dog suddenly woke up!

Completely ignoring the wounds on its body that had not yet healed, it suddenly jumped up and rushed into the depths of the dense forest without hesitation, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Facing this sudden change, Xiaozhi did not seem too panicked. He just stood there quietly, staring at the direction where the rock dog left. After a while, he took a step and followed the rock dog at a distance, not hurriedly, for fear of disturbing it.

Time passed minute by minute, and before they knew it, the sky gradually turned pale. Professor Kukui and the others finally discovered that Satoshi and the others were missing.

You know, Xiaozhi originally agreed with Miss Lizzie to have a big test today. At this time, Miss Lizzie recalled the abnormal behavior of Rock Dog before, and immediately guessed that Xiaozhi's Rock Dog might be about to evolve, and Xiaozhi secretly followed it.

Then everyone passed through Hoopa's halo without hesitation and came to Xiaozhi's side in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Xiaozhi kept a considerable distance from Rock Dog, and Rock Dog was completely unaware of their presence.

Time passed quietly, and around noon, everyone returned to the Pokémon Center with the help of Hoopa's aura to have lunch. At the same time, they also placed some tree fruits where the rock dog might pass by.

After eating a few fruits, the rock dog seemed to have recovered some strength, but it did not stop. Instead, it continued to move forward and walked straight towards a steep rock wall.

The rock face was extremely steep, but the rock dog was determined to climb to the top of the cliff as if summoned by some force. Its injuries had not been properly treated, and although its strength had recovered a little after eating the fruit, this kind of climbing that required a high degree of concentration still made its nerves tense to the extreme.

However, just as the rock dog was climbing up with difficulty, it suddenly lost its balance, its body swayed violently, and it almost fell off the rock wall.

At the critical moment, the rock dog clenched its teeth tightly and used all its strength to stabilize its body. It raised its head and let out a long, childish but firm howl, as if to cheer itself up and encourage itself to keep moving forward.

Not far from this rock wall, there is a hidden cave. Liliae's brother Gladion had come to Akara Island at some point and was actually training here.

However, at this moment, his dark-looking werewolf seemed to have sensed some kind of call and turned around and walked in one direction without hesitation.

"Remember to come back at night!" Gladion saw this and did not try to stop it, nor did he ask too many questions. He just whispered a reminder.

Then, Gladion led his moon elf and slowly walked deeper into the cave. They passed through narrow passages and around winding bends until they reached the dark and silent deepest part.

There, Gladion stopped and took out a memorial ball from his pocket. He stared at the memorial ball and then threw it.

Meanwhile, below the rock wall, the rock dog was climbing up with great difficulty. It climbed up step by step, and each step seemed extremely strenuous. However, something unfortunate happened, and the rock dog eventually lost its footing and fell down.

Under the rock wall was a turbulent river. Seeing that Rock Dog was about to fall into the river, Xiaozhi immediately commanded Hoopa to use his halo to catch Rock Dog, and then placed it on the ground by the river.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around the unconscious Rock Dog and sighed helplessly. They had all witnessed the hardships that Rock Dog had gone through, and it was really not easy for him to evolve.

At this moment, Miss Lizzie's daytime Lycanthropy jumped out of the Poké Ball, landed steadily on the ground, and stared down at the Lycanthropy lying on the ground.

At the same time, Gladion's Nightmane Werewolf also arrived.

"Is Gladion also on Akara Island?" Xiaozhi's eyes lit up and he immediately recognized this Wolfman.

"Brother is nearby too?" Lillie exclaimed in surprise while holding Bai Gungun in her arms. She quickly scanned the surroundings, as if looking for Gladion.

At this moment, the two werewolves looked at each other. Their eyes met, and they both grinned, revealing their sharp fangs and growled, as if to say hello.

Then the Night Mane Rock Wolf Man walked straight to the Rock Dog and carefully picked it up. Then, the two Mane Rock Wolf Man turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, they followed from a distance.

On the top of the mountain is the test stage on Akara Island, and it is also the life relic for worshiping Kapu Tete, and is regarded by people as the birthplace of life.

At this moment, Kapu Dede was dancing lightly above, like a playful little girl, enjoying her own happy time.

The Kapu Butterfly running around recklessly scattered colorful scales and powder. At this moment, an injured meerkat stumbled here.

Its body was covered with scars and it was exhausted, but when it came into contact with the scale powder sprinkled by Kapu Butterfly, its wounds were healed instantly and it left here cheering.

When the two werewolves and their rock dogs arrived here, the sun had already set and the sky was dyed orange-red.

They carefully placed the rock dog on the ground, and the Nightmane Rock Werewolf growled at Tapu Butterfly to attract its attention, hoping to use its scale powder to heal the rock dog's injuries.

However, Tapu Diedie did not play by the rules at all. He suddenly launched an attack and directly knocked the Nightmane Werewolf away.

Seeing this scene, the Daymane Wolfman couldn't help but widen his eyes and stared at Tapu Butterfly nervously, but despite this, he still moved the Wolfdog forward a little, and then let out a low roar at Tapu Butterfly again, hoping that it could save the Wolfdog.

Just as Tapu Tete was about to launch another attack, the Daymane Rock Wolf decisively used his body to protect the Rock Dog and was directly knocked away.

At this moment, Kapu Tete's gaze finally fell on the rock dog lying on the ground. After seeing it, Kapu Tete actually cheered, with a happy smile on his face, accompanied by a string of cute laughter.

Then it happily sprinkled a piece of colorful scale powder towards the rock dog, but the scale powder had no effect on the rock dog.

Seeing this scene, Kapu Diedie couldn't help but frowned. At this moment, Kapu Diedie noticed that two more werewolves came up, and a cunning flashed in its eyes.

Kapu Diedie's body began to emit a dazzling light, and its eyes became extremely cold, staring at the two mane rock werewolves. The two mane rock werewolves did not flinch, they tightly protected the rock dogs behind them, and faced the guardian of Akala Island with gnashing teeth.

Because they knew that Rock Dog was seriously injured and could not bear the teasing of Kapu Diedie. So, no matter what, they had to protect Rock Dog.

At this tense moment, Xiaozhi suddenly appeared. He walked straight to the two Wolfdogs and picked up the unconscious Wolfdog.

When Tapu Butterfly saw him, it immediately returned to its original innocent appearance and flew around Xiaozhi.

However, before everyone had time to react, Tapu Diedie suddenly rushed towards the Nightmane Werewolf.

The Darkmane Werewolf was completely caught off guard by this sudden attack, and before it even had time to react, Tapu Butterfly used the fairy-type absorbing kiss on it, stealing its energy.

The Daytime Wolf-Mane on the side became nervous immediately when he saw this scene, but Tapu Butterfly seized the opportunity and absorbed its energy. The two Wolf-Mane on the side fell to the ground powerlessly.

Finally, when Tapu Butterfly turned his gaze to Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi already understood its intention. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Come on!"

Tapu Butterfly suddenly laughed happily, then flew lightly in front of Xiaozhi, came over and kissed him gently on the forehead.

After absorbing Xiaozhi's energy and combining it with the energy of the two Lycans, Tapu Clicquot's body began to radiate a dazzling golden glow.

Then it slowly floated to the top of Xiaozhi's head, opened its arms, gathered all the strength it had previously obtained, and transformed it into circles of colorful halos that enveloped Xiaozhi and Rock Dog, injecting invisible energy into Rock Dog's body.

"Kapu Tete is helping Rock Dog!" Miss Lizzie shouted in surprise. She had already seen through what Kapu Tete was doing.

As the colorful halo continued to pour out, the rock dog's body began to emit a faint green light, and the injuries on its body recovered rapidly at an astonishing speed under the light.

The rock dog in Xiaozhi's arms slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes were a little confused, and it seemed that it had not yet fully woken up from its coma.

At this moment, the sun just set below the sea level, illuminating the entire Alola sea into a dazzling golden color.

Seeing that the rock dog had finally recovered, Tapu Tete immediately cheered in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the colorful scales on its body fell like snowflakes.

The golden light of dusk seemed to have an irresistible magic, which deeply attracted the eyes of the rock dog. It licked Xiaozhi gently, and then jumped out of Xiaozhi's arms.

Then the rock dog walked towards the sunset step by step until it reached the edge of the cliff, then it stopped and stared at the sun slowly sinking below the sea level.

At this moment, the sunset, which was supposed to gradually dim, suddenly underwent a miraculous change. The last ray of afterglow slowly turned from golden to a vibrant green light.

Professor Kukui and Miss Lizzie, who were standing behind Xiaozhi, were stunned by the sudden wonder in front of them. They exclaimed in unison: "That, is it the green flash?"

The sun was clearly setting, but the green light did not dim. Instead, it became even more dazzling.

The rock dog stood there quietly, its eyes attracted by the mysterious green light, and its eyes became dull. Its eyes gradually turned green, as if it had some kind of resonance with the green light.

The reason why the rock dog came here so desperately is because it felt the call.

"Ouch!!!"

The rock dog suddenly let out a long howl, and the sound seemed particularly loud and steady!

As the rock dog howled, the two maned rock werewolves were also awakened, and then came to its side without hesitation, howling with it and echoing each other.

Under the shining green light and the howling of the two werewolves, the rock dog's body finally began to emit the light of evolution. Under the cover of this light, its originally tender body began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It still maintains the posture of walking on all fours, but there are obvious differences compared with its day and night forms.

Its hair is orange-yellow, as if dyed by the afterglow of the setting sun. The mane on its body is even more unique, with four mane rocks on its neck during the day and a structure that pierces its forehead at night. The most eye-catching thing is its lively green eyes.

Just like that, the three different forms of werewolves in the Mane Rock, day, dusk and night, gathered together and stood facing each other!

Seeing that the Wolf Mane had finally completed its evolution, Kapu Butterfly was also very excited. It flew happily, making joyful noises, and finally disappeared into the distant sky.

Xiaozhi also showed a happy smile on his face, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is the appearance of the Wolf Mane Dusk, who has the characteristics of both day and night!"

Hearing Xiaozhi's words, Rotom's Pokédex quickly flew to Lycanroc, took photos non-stop, and loaded relevant information into the database. This was an unprecedented discovery - a brand new form of Lycanroc!

【Werewolf Mane·Dusk Form】

【Attribute: Rock】

[Features: Hard Claws]

[Strength: Late Gym]

[Moves: Rock Charge, Double Return...]

Obviously, after absorbing the power of Xiaozhi and the two Lycans, the strength of this Lycan has been greatly improved, and it has actually reached the late gym level!

"The Look of Dusk, this name is really appropriate!" When everyone heard the name that Xiaozhi gave to Lycanroc, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Miss Lizzie then said, "I think the reason why this werewolf evolved into such a unique form is probably because of the influence of the green flash phenomenon."

"Green flash? What is that?" Everyone was obviously curious about this phenomenon. After all, it was the first time for everyone present to see such a magical sight.

Facing everyone's questions, Dr. Kukui smiled and explained: "You should have seen it just now. The sunlight flashing with green light is the green flash phenomenon. This phenomenon is very rare and usually only occurs at sunset or sunrise."

Miss Lizzie was also deeply moved by the scene before her. "This is an extremely rare natural phenomenon. That's why there's a legend circulating on Akala Island - as long as you see the green light, you'll have good luck. Xiaozhi and you guys are so lucky!"

Hearing what Miss Lizzie said, Xiaozhi's mouth curled up slightly. He knew very well that this was not just good luck. The reason why Rock Dog came here was probably because he was summoned by this green light.

Together with Day and Night and his power, this led to the evolution of the Rock Dog into the unprecedented Maned Rock Wolf Man Dusk.

Xiaozhi stroked the newly evolved Lycanroc, his eyes fell on Miss Lizzie and said with a smile: "Miss Lizzie, I will take the final big test, please give me your guidance!"
