Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"But there is no need for that old seafood to lie to us. I'm afraid the danger of the Aether Paradise is far beyond our imagination."

Just when Liang Yin was so nervous that his heart was hanging in the air, Zeraora's next words made him feel relieved again: "But fortunately, we have your Tiantiantian. We don't actually need to have a head-on conflict with those so-called evil food kings - so the situation is not as bad as that guy said."

Then, without waiting for Liang Yin to react, the black cat stretched out its claws and grabbed his left wrist. It gently scratched the Z-Pure Crystal on the Z-Bracelet with its white nails. Finally, it sighed, looking a little gloomy: "Even the Z-Pure Crystal given by the Overlord Pokémon has dimmed as expected."

"Dim?"

Liang Yin didn't understand what Zeraora meant. He looked left and right, but couldn't see where the normal Z had turned black. However, seeing the other party's serious expression, he still asked out of trust: "Could it be that Lao Hai... ahem, Senior Ruo Dingyu actually gave me the broken one?"

"It's not broken, it's just dimmed," Electric Cat corrected, "There's a big difference between these two statements. Dim doesn't mean the Z-pure crystal is broken - if nothing unexpected happens, probably all the Z-pure crystals in the world have dimmed."

"If the Z bracelet is the medium between people and Pokémon, then the Z Crystal is the medium between people and nature."

"Z-Moves are the strong feelings of humans who carry the Z-Power of nature and amplify it with their own 'talents', and then pass it on to their Pokémon companions."

"I mentioned to you before that after the island guardians of Alola left, Z-Moves could no longer be used. The dimming of the Z-Crystal was one of the more obvious manifestations. This means..."

"Does it mean that the medium connecting humans and nature has been broken?!"

Liang Yin understood its meaning immediately.

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

According to Zeraora's explanation of the principle of Z moves just now, it seems that those Tapus are acting as "signal amplifiers" for the "Bluetooth wireless connection" between humans and nature...

Therefore, once the island guardians go on strike, Z moves cannot be used due to "bad signal".

"Yes." Zeraora nodded.

Liang Yin still had some questions that were not answered, so he asked again: "But I don't think this Z-pure crystal is dim at all. How did you tell it apart, Zeraora?"

Zeraora replied helplessly: "Dull does not refer to its color, but to the energy flow circuit around it."

"In the past, the energy around the purest crystal was scattered in lines, just like glowing. But now, the energy flow path is like a cocoon, wrapping the purest crystal tightly..."

Halfway through his words, the electric cat keenly noticed that the confusion in Liang Yin's eyes had deepened - it seemed that its answer was still too profound or abstract for humans who could not perceive energy.

"Forget it, just treat it as your mortal eyes."

So it changed its way of saying it and said it concisely.

Liang Yin: …

You cat, your words are so hurtful, can't you be a little more tactful?

These straightforward words made him understand that ordinary humans cannot observe these energy-level phenomena - at least not without the aid of tools.

However, Liang Yin remembered several special gifts on the gift panel - wave power, Changpan power, super powers and other things worth 2500 points of gratitude. If he learned these "talents", would he be considered "supernatural" and be able to see the energy world in Zeraora's eyes?

"I need to give you special training in the next three days."

Before Liang Yin could catch his breath, Zeraora dropped another blockbuster bomb, leaving him a little dazed.

According to common sense in anime, conducting targeted special training after losing a Pokémon battle is often a normal and effective action.

But when these words came out of Zeraora's mouth, the nature of them was a little different.

After all, it has always been human trainers who have given special training to Pokémon. How come when it comes to me, I have become the host and it is the Pokémon that is giving special training to humans?

This...isn't this right?

"Three days later, I will make that old seafood remember the fear of being dominated by me that afternoon of that year." Zeraora said "throwing harsh words" in a calm tone towards the sea.

This big black cat unexpectedly "holds a grudge"...

In Liang Yin's little notebook, he made a bold note in the column for "cold big cat" personality.

"The purpose of the Overlord Pokémon's test is not just to test the Pokémon's strength, but also to test the trainer's command ability."

"What about what Senior Ruo Dingyu said about the tacit understanding between partners?" Liang Yin suddenly interrupted.

Zeraora: ...

"Although everyone says that is the ultimate goal, I don't understand. I don't have a trainer."

After a few seconds of silence, the big black cat spoke out confidently - even though they had only been together for less than a day, Liang Yin noticed that there seemed to be some minor changes in Zeraora's personality.

Of course, this may just reveal a little of its true side.

But this should be a good thing, he thought.

……

"Is this really okay?"

Liang Yin stared nervously at Zeraora, who was approaching with light cat steps, thunder in his claws, and said in a trembling voice.

"Your reaction ability is very slow, just like a 'pet' that is locked in a closed small room every day. Your dynamic vision is too weak," Zeraora explained in a flat tone while twisting his neck, making a "crackling" sound of joints rubbing. "This causes you to be unable to keep up with the rhythm of Pokémon in battle, and therefore unable to make effective commands."

Huh? That's true...

Liang Yin immediately recalled his school experiences over the past years - well, that time when the physical education teacher was sick every day.

I have been studying hard in the classroom, so I rarely have the opportunity to exercise my reaction ability...

Is this really the reason?

He felt doubtful, but soon smiled in relief - it couldn't be that the humans in the Pokémon world were generally better physically than the people on Blue Star, right?

However, what Liang Yin didn't know was that even among the native trainers in the Pokémon world, there were very few who could keep up with Zeraora's speed in terms of reaction ability. People like him were actually the majority of normal people.

Zeraora didn't care about Liang Yin's thoughts and continued:

"And the first step to quickly acquire passable dynamic vision is to face high-speed moving objects directly!"

"So next, please stay still, don't move at all, and stare at my fist."

As if he had guessed Zeraora's next move, Liang Yin's face turned pale, but after forcing himself to take a deep breath, he said stiffly: "Just come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce fist wind surged up, and the yellow claws carried dazzling electric light, as if cutting through space and hitting his face.

"!!!"

Just come as you say, do you have to be so obedient?

In a panic, the only thing Liang Yin could do was to follow his instinct. He closed his eyes in fear and then suddenly retracted his neck.

Not until the electric light that could even penetrate his eyelids completely dissipated did he open his eyes and see the claw that was firmly resting in front of his nose.

"Gulu."

He swallowed and realized that in just a few moments, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead and were too stiff to move.

Zeraora said coldly, "Human, you're done so soon? Do you want to rest for a while?"

However, to the former's surprise, Liang Yin suddenly laughed.

Even though his face was pale, he still stubbornly squeezed out a complete sentence from between his teeth: "Don't stop, keep going."
