It seems that this Togekiss is not only powerful, but has also lived here for a long time and has had contact with humans before, though it's unclear whether the humans were from five or ten years ago.
On this continent, that was twenty-five years ago, or fifty years ago, or even earlier. After all, given Poxki's lifespan, surviving for that long was not a problem.
Aoki nodded and said, "That's right, I am the human you're talking about."
Although she didn't know what she wanted to say, Aoki still readily admitted it.
Upon hearing Aoki admit that she was human, Togekiss displayed a rather complicated expression.
"To be honest, your kind is very rare here. You're only the second human I've ever seen," Togekiss said.
Aoki didn't refute her. After all, they were on the Continent of Time and Space, and even if humans had the ability, they couldn't just enter at will. Moreover, Togekiss had Aura Power, which could naturally avoid danger. So even if humans approached with malice, Togekiss and her group of Togepi and Togetic probably wouldn't have appeared.
After a slight hesitation, Aoki said, "Actually, the world you live in, the world you know now, is just the tip of the iceberg of the whole world. It's just that your place is special, and not just anyone can come in."
Then Aoki explained to Togekiss the situation of the Continent of Time and Space and their environment.
Hearing Aoki's words, Togekiss was stunned from beginning to end. Clearly, no one had ever told her so much before, which had a certain impact on her worldview.
After Aoki finished speaking, Togekiss stood there stunned, unsure of what to say, seemingly struggling to accept the shock.
I originally just wanted to ask Aoki if she knew the human from back then, and if so, to express her gratitude on her behalf.
But what she heard was something that shocked her worldview.
"No wonder...no wonder that person told me he wanted to take me away from here."
"I thought they were taking me away from the valley where I live, but I never expected they would say they were taking me away from this world." Togekiss's expression was complicated.
No matter who it is, when someone tells you that the place where you live is just a tiny corner of the whole world, but you treat that corner as the whole world, it's a painful experience.
It really is like sitting in a well and looking at the sky, thinking you know everything, but you don't realize you're just a frog at the bottom of the well.
Aoki watched Togekiss leave, looking somewhat lost and dejected. She stood there for a moment, pondering, and then said nothing more.
Togekiss had no doubts about Aoki's words, after all, she was very skilled with Aura Power Pokémon, and Togekiss could sense if Aoki was intentionally lying to her.
It was precisely because she knew that Aoki was telling the truth that she felt such a great shock.
It directly destroyed the entire worldview and built an even larger world. No one could accept such a thing immediately.
Aoki sat down next to Salamence and watched Lucario having a great time with Togepi, Togetic, Clawitzer, and Clauncher. Suddenly, he wasn't in such a hurry to get going anymore.
Lucario's Aura Power has improved significantly thanks to Togekiss's development, but this is only their first encounter. If they could have more interactions, Lucario might be able to learn more about how to use Aura Power and combat techniques from Togekiss.
Moreover, it wasn't just Togekiss; the Clawitzer Pokémon also had a strong ability to control Aura Power.
Unlike Togekiss, Clawitzer's Aura Power is used more for attack, while Togekiss's Aura Power is used for flexible application.
One belongs to specialization, the other to wide application. It's hard to say which is stronger or weaker, but what is certain is that the affairs in this valley are dominated by Togekiss.
After resting for a while, Aoki released all her Pokémon.
They were told not to cause too much damage to the environment, and that after a long day's journey, it was time for them to eat.
Besides Lucario, Gardevoir, Diancie, and Magearna also quickly joined Togepi. Family and Clawitzer The family got along very well.
Magearna is also a Pokémon capable of using Aura Power, which is why she can clearly sense the feelings of each Pokémon, whether they are sad or happy. However, like Lucario, she lacks the ability and skill to use her own Aura Power.
Once Togekiss recovers his composure, he should be able to help with Hand. Magearna also awakens her Aura Power.
In fact, Magearna possesses potential that she herself could never have imagined.
Aoki can only say that the occult scientist who created Soul Heart is truly a genius. He created a divine beast with limitless potential all by himself.
As a reward for the night, Togekiss, who had left in a daze, reappeared in front of Aoki.
Although she still seemed somewhat unable to accept the fact, she chose to accept it, after all, facts speak louder than words.
When she reappeared in front of Aoki, she clearly had something she wanted to say to Aoki.
However, before she could speak, Aoki said, " Togekiss, your Aura Power is so powerful. My partner Magearna is also a Pokémon with Aura Power, but she doesn't know how to use this energy. I wonder if you can help her?"
Upon hearing Aoki's words, Togekiss put aside his own doubts and questions and looked at Magearna, whose entire body was made of mechanical materials.
With just one glance, Togekiss set his sights on the Soul Heart Lock-On implanted in Magearna's chest.
Rather than calling Magearna a lump of iron, it's more accurate to say that the Soul Heart is the real Magearna.
Togekiss closed her eyes, and her Aura Power spread out instantly. Magearna seemed to sense something and froze in place, but a wisp of light blue energy also appeared from her soul heart.
Togekiss opened his eyes instantly, and when he looked at Magearna, the expression in his eyes changed, from indifference to surprise, and now to shock.
She discovered Magearna Her soul heart possessed boundless Aura Power; she tried her best to draw upon it, but only managed to draw upon a trace of it.
"Poof—" Togekiss murmured softly in mid-air.
Togepi, Togetic, and Clawitzer, who were originally playing, all the Pokémon that could use Aura Power transferred their Aura Power into Magearna's soul heart.
This caused a major change in Magearna's soul heart.
A powerful Aura Power erupted from Magearna, illuminating the valley, which had been pitch black due to the night, into a vibrant blue.
Magearna slowly lifted off the ground under the Helping Hand of her soul heart, as a torrent of Aura Power surged from her soul heart, enveloping it completely.
The Pokémon who had poured all their Aura Power into Magearna at Togekiss's command had their Aura Power returned to their bodies almost instantly, and Magearna's Aura Power... Helping hands are more abundant than what is used.
Besides them, Lucario, who had recently awakened Aura Power, did the same.
So, like other Pokémon, his Aura Power surged rapidly under the influence of his Soul Heart, and he was fully restored in the blink of an eye.
Togekiss and the other Pokémon stared blankly at the object floating in mid-air, which looked like a blue light bulb.
Aoki looked at Magearna with a surprised expression, wondering what had happened to her.
However, when he started the chip to scan Magearna's data, he discovered that there had been significant changes.
Pokémon: Magearna (light purple)
Gender: None
Level: 75
Type: Steel-type + Fairy-type
Ability: Soul Heart (First Awakening)
Held Item: soul heart
Egg Moves: None
Basic Moves: Trick Defense, Assist Gear, Shift, Iron Head, Helping Hand, Sonic Boom, Defense Curl, Psybeam, Lucky Chant, Aurora Beam, Mirror Shot, Mind's Eye, Flash Cannon, Flower Cannon, Iron Defense, Pain Split, Synchronization Jamming, Aura Sphere
Learnt Moves: Magnet Rise, Last Resort, Pain Split, Shock Wave, Heal Bell, Please Go First, Iron Defense, Zen Headbutt
TM Moves: Protect, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Double Team, Energy Ball
The level jumped from 70 to 75, directly skipping the Senior Elite Four Level and reaching the Quasi-Champion level.
Although Magearna dislikes fighting, her soul heart provides her with a constant source of energy, and the energy cube Aoki prepared for her effectively helps her improve her strength. Therefore, like Diancie, Magearna achieved the rank of Senior Elite very early on.
However, this awakening of Aura Power brought Magearna a significant and rapid increase in level.
However, what Aoki valued more was not the improvement in Magearna's level, but the parentheses added after Soul Heart: "First Awakening".
Aoki said that these words are very simple and easy to understand, but this awakening happened too suddenly.
Or rather, Aoki never imagined that the soul heart could have the ability to awaken.
If there's one awakening, does that mean there will be a second, third, or even fourth awakening? What are the conditions for awakening the Soul Heart? Does each awakening significantly increase Magearna's strength and level?
He knew nothing about this.
Even Magearna herself probably doesn't fully understand her current situation.
Gradually, the blue light on Magearna faded, and the Aura Power within her slowly receded into her soul heart.
"Buzz—" Magearna shook her head, seemingly not understanding what was happening.
But Togekiss's gaze changed once again when he looked at Aoki.
She had originally approached Aoki again to ask if he had a Shiny Stone that could evolve Togetic, but Aoki interrupted her by making a request before she could speak.
Unexpectedly, Magearna's awakening brought her such a shocking scene.
If it weren't for a Pokémon capable of using Aura Power, she would never have known the immense, boundless, ocean-like energy fluctuations she felt from within her soul heart when she was about to awaken Aura Power for Magearna. At that moment, the Aura Power that Magearna awakened was merely a part of her soul heart.
Even though she possesses strength far surpassing Magearna's, she has to admit that, in terms of Aura Power alone, Magearna's talent and potential far exceed hers!
"Thank you!" Aoki said sincerely to Togekiss.
He continued, "Was there something you were trying to tell me?"
Togekiss gave Magearna, who was standing obediently beside Aoki, a complicated look, nodded and said, "I...I want to ask if you have any special stones that can help my people evolve? If so, I'm willing to exchange all our current resources for them."
Upon hearing this, Aoki frowned. The only stone that could allow Togetic to evolve into Togekiss was Shiny Stone.
However, apart from the top-quality Shiny Stone he collected before Florges evolved, he didn't pay much attention to Shiny Stones after that.
So at this moment he had quite a few Dusk Stones, Leaf Stones, etc., but no Shiny Stones.
Aoki looked somewhat helpless and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry... because I didn't expect to need to use Shiny Stone, I didn't bring it with me this time. I just don't know if Shiny Stone exists on your continent."
As for whether Aoki lied to her or not, Togekiss had her own intuition.
Fortunately, Aoki showed no malice or intention to deceive Togekiss from the moment they entered the valley.
Togekiss's face was filled with helplessness.
She felt helpless about this situation.
Over the years, through numerous attempts, she discovered that for a Togekiss to evolve, it must possess that particular stone; without that special stone, other Togetic cannot evolve.
As long as she exists, she can still protect the entire Togepi tribe and the entire Aura Power Valley. But if she leaves when her lifespan comes to an end, who will be able to protect the entire valley?
Without her presence, the Togepi tribe's fighting strength would be pitifully weak.
On the contrary, the Clauncher, who were originally under her protection, and their evolved form Clawitzer are much stronger in combat, and they will certainly be able to protect the Togepi tribe as well.
It's impossible for someone else to protect her people forever. Not to mention whether Clawitzer and the others would agree or not, Togekiss herself wouldn't want to trouble other Pokémon, even though these Pokémon had been under her protection before.
Seeing Togekiss's disappointed expression, Aoki thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why not choose to leave this place with your people? Leaving here might allow you to find the Shiny Stone you want, and maybe it will allow more of your people to complete their evolution."
"Leave here? We come from somewhere else, and I've never seen the light you speak of here... Wait, you mean leave this world?" Togekiss realized.
Sensing that some kind of power emanating from Aoki was radiating heat, Slowking, who was resting nearby, seemed to notice something and turned to look in Aoki's direction.
A lost Pokémon, unable to find its way in the future, and a Trainer with an almost limitless future and powerful persuasive abilities —what kind of Ember will emerge from their clash? Even without careful consideration, Slowking, based on Aoki's experience, could pretty much guess.
Slowking felt a little ashamed. There are some scenes that are better left unseen, and some things that are best left unseen. Knowing too much can easily lead to some unpleasant things happening.
So Slowking immediately found Honchkrow, who was bored anyway, and decided to have a little friendly match.
Meanwhile, Aoki paid no attention to Slowking's gaze, and Togekiss didn't have time to sense his surroundings either. They were both engrossed in what Aoki was saying, while Togekiss discussed the possibilities of the matter.
"Although the resources here are abundant and life is relatively comfortable, it's not a long-term solution. Every human who enters this continent has only one chance in their lifetime. If you want to get a Shiny Stone, only these people might carry one. But most people, like me, don't need a Shiny Stone and therefore basically won't carry one with them," Aoki said to Togekiss.
The region with the most Shiny Stones and the highest production is the Kalos region. Since a small number of Pokémon use Shiny Stones, there are indeed many extra Shiny Stones. Before entering this region, they will all be exchanged for resources to increase their strength as much as possible and ensure their safety.
Listening to Aoki's words, Togekiss was struggling internally. If there were a way, who would want to leave the place where they grew?
Pokémon are creatures that are very particular about their habitat; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Pokémon that they would form groups and live together in one territory.
" Shiny Stones are hard to find here, almost nonexistent, because there's no object called the sun here. Although there is sunlight, it's very diffuse. Given the conditions here, the chance of a Shiny Stone being born naturally is almost zero. Your successful evolution is truly a perfect storm of good timing, location, and people," Aoki continued.
He was telling the truth, since the conditions for producing Shiny Stones are extremely demanding. Let alone top-quality Shiny Stones, even the lowest-quality Shiny Stones might not be produced.
Furthermore, the quality of the stone used to evolve a Pokémon has a significant impact on its abilities and strength after evolution. If you don't want to waste a Pokémon's precious potential, then it's best to choose a high-quality stone.
" While Shiny Stones are also very valuable in Pokémon World, especially the high-quality ones, they are much easier to find here."
If you're willing to trust me, I can find you plenty of Shiny Stones once you leave this continent. Of course, the quality will vary, so you'll need to be careful when using them.
Aoki is offering her benefits.
It's not that he wanted to get anything from the Togekiss and their Togepi tribe. Even this Togekiss, aside from being a little surprised at first, didn't have much interest in him, Aoki.
Having crossed the first hurdle of Champion Level, I'm not without my own Pokémon. Darkrai has that kind of strength. Gengar, Slowking, Tyranitar, and Blaziken are still a bit behind, but they will definitely reach that level in the future. Moreover, their growth upper limit and potential are much higher than mine.
Aoki suspects that the Shiny Stone used by this Togekiss during its evolution was not a high-quality stone. The person who gave it the Shiny Stone probably never imagined that Togetic would be able to evolve into Togekiss after coming into contact with the Shiny Stone.
Upon hearing Aoki's words, which carried a hint of charm, Togekiss fell silent.
To be honest, Aoki's words didn't seem to have any problem.
"Let me think about it," Togekiss said to Aoki, then gave Magearna a deep look, who was completely oblivious and still playing with Togepi and the others.
She saw an almost endless future in this strange Pokémon, which is why she hesitated.
Furthermore, Aoki has many other Pokémon with strong abilities, including several with great potential. From Aoki, she could sense that this human had great potential.
Of course, as a Pokémon that can use Aura Power, I was most impressed by Magearna, who can also use Aura Power.
Aoki didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.
No matter what choice Togekiss makes, Aoki will not suffer any loss.
He wasn't interested in Togepi in the first place. What Family can offer him? The only thing he might value is Togekiss's immediate combat power, which could potentially play a role on this continent of time and space.
However, his own Pokémon was having a lot of fun playing with the Pokémon in the valley, especially Ursaring, who had never left the forest and had never seen the world.
He was waving his Pokémon around like a complete idiot.
Aoki found a relatively dry spot in the valley, set up his tent, and went inside to rest.
The space here is completely sealed off, and the Teleport is unusable, so the Unowns ' secret power cannot open the Alternate Dimension.
Fortunately, Aoki had prepared for the possibility of not being able to use the Alternate Dimension before coming in, and brought enough equipment.
However, in such a 'rest' environment, Pokémon might be needed to keep watch at night, and this task is usually given to the Gengars, who become more active as the night goes on.
But now that Ursaring is here, Gengar no longer has to keep watch alone.
When Gengar is bored, he will chat with Ursaring, telling him about their past experiences, common sense about being a Pokémon, and how to respect Aoki.
Ursaring dared not disobey Gengar's words; that big head nodded repeatedly, almost shaking his head off his neck.
To be fair, although this Ursaring looks silly and goofy, sometimes it's like a complete idiot.
But actually, I have a lot of thoughts. I had only known Gengar, Slowking, and Honchkrow for a short time when I found out who among this group of Pokémon, besides Aoki, had the most influence.
Although Honchkrow isn't the strongest, many Pokémon listen to him because he's the eldest. Unfortunately, he's a bit cold towards Ursaring.
While the other Pokémon would listen to Slowking, Slowking always seemed to have everything under control, making Ursaring, who knew his situation, afraid to approach. After all, if the contrast was too strong, the cuteness of the contrast would be very obvious.
That's why he sought help from Gengar.
Gengar is not usually serious and enjoys playing with Pokémon. Moreover, he is very strong and, as a veteran Pokémon of Aoki, his words carry weight.
So... don't let his naivety fool you, he's actually quite shrewd at heart.
...
The next day, as soon as Aoki came out of his tent, he saw Togekiss waiting for him outside, along with the entire Togepi tribe.
Seeing this, Aoki knew what choice Togekiss had made.
This is understandable, after all, Togepi If Family truly wants to demonstrate its combat power, it still needs to evolve into Togekiss, whether in terms of attack, agility, or control over Aura Power.
If they didn't know that Togetic could evolve further, it wouldn't be so bad; they could simply seek refuge. But now that they know Togetic can evolve into Togekiss, who can protect their own kind, how can they let go of them? The Togekiss chose to let Aoki take them out not because they wanted Aoki's protection, but simply because Aoki promised to give them Shiny Stones.
Of course, there is actually a deeper reason: Togekiss is interested in Magearna's Aura Power and the subtle enhancement that the soul heart provides to the surrounding Pokémon.
Once Magearna fully unlocks the Aura Power within her, it will definitely provide a great help to all Pokémon that use Aura Power.
"Have you made a decision?" Aoki asked, looking at Togekiss.
Upon hearing this, Togekiss nodded, neither denying nor making any excuses.
Togekiss is a gentle and peace-loving Pokémon. If she didn't truly know that the Upper Limit of the species couldn't be fully realized here, she would never have chosen to leave with Aoki.
Looking at the resolute Togekiss and the anxious Togepi and Togetic, Aoki nodded, indicating that she understood what they meant.
He took out a lot of empty Poké Balls from his backpack and put them all on the ground.
Fortunately, after gaining experience in abducting an entire group, Aoki always carries a large number of empty Poké Balls with her when she goes out, so that she can abduct some Pokémon groups that she likes to put on her island. In any case, Aoki has a dream of becoming a farmer.
Moreover, his island is now completely different from what it used to be. Thanks to the combined efforts of Tyranitar and all the Pokémon, the island has expanded four times in size. There is now plenty of empty space on it, and it would be no problem to put several large groups there, let alone small groups like Togekiss and his friends.
Togekiss had clearly given Togepi and Togetic a pep talk last night, so although they looked apprehensive, they weren't afraid.
Perhaps it was because Aoki and his Pokémon left a good impression on Togepi and his friends.
To Aoki's surprise, when Togekiss prepared to leave with his entire tribe, the Clawitzers, who shared a symbiotic relationship with them, also chose to leave together.
Is this the legendary buy-one-get-one-free deal?
Aoki, of course, was open to Clawitzer, as he was quite interested in this Pokémon.
Moreover, Clawitzer The leader of the Family is also very strong, and can be considered a timely combat power Pokémon.
However, when Aoki looked at Togekiss, then at Clawitzer and Lucario standing happily to the side, a very creative idea suddenly popped into her head.
However, Lucario's current capabilities are still somewhat lacking, and Aoki's vision may not be realized in the short term.
The process of subduing the entire Togepi tribe went very smoothly, so smoothly that Aoki couldn't believe it... went so smoothly!
Looking at these innocent-looking Pokémon, Aoki became even more determined to provide them with a more comfortable, peaceful, and supportive environment.
However, while subduing the entire Togepi tribe, Aoki discovered a Pokémon that caught his eye.
Pokémon: Togepi (blue)
Gender: Male
Level: 30
Type: Fairy-type
Ability: Serene Grace
Held item: None
Egg Moves: Mirror Move, Future Sight, Extrasensory, Secret Power
Basic Moves: Growl, Charm, Finger wave, Sweet Kiss, Yawn, Encore, Look at me, Pass the gift, Pray.
Learnt Moves: Desire, Magic, Telekinesis, Noise, Hyper Voice, Heal Bell, Water Pulse, Snore
skill learner: None
This Togepi has the highest potential and talent in the entire Togepi population, and the skills it inherited are also quite outstanding.
If Aoki hadn't recently lost interest in raising more baby Pokémon, this Togepi might have caught his eye.
Aoki might only consider training Pokémon again once things have stabilized recently. Otherwise, training all his Pokémon to Champion level is what he wants to do most right now, and what he absolutely must do.
Whether on this continent or in the Pokémon World, there is an atmosphere of impending doom.
Before the storm truly arrives, Aoki must stabilize his rudder and increase the ship's stability in order to weather the storm.
Besides Togepi, Aoki also discovered a very good Pokémon while catching the entire Clawitzer population.
Pokémon: Clauncher (blue)
Gender: Male
Level: 30
Type: Water-type
Ability: Super Launcher
Held Items: None
Egg Moves: Water Jet, Find Partner, Endure, Crab Claw Hammer
Basic Moves: Splash, Water Gun, Water Play, Clamping, Foam, Flail, Bubble Beam, Swords Dance, Crab Claw Hammer
Learn Moves: Iron Tail, Aqua Tail, Icy Wind, Snore, Water Pulse, Bounce
TM Moves: None
This Clauncher is also the most talented one in the entire Clawitzer population.
Aoki had no intention of targeting the Togepi and Clawitzer groups from the beginning, so apart from randomly scanning the data of a few Pokémon, she did not scan them one by one.
So this can only be considered an unexpected surprise.
However, just like with the Togepi, Aoki was pleasantly surprised but not particularly astonished by this Clauncher.
Raising his current few Pokémon has already saturated his resources.
When it comes to raising Pokémon, Aoki is meticulous and willing to invest heavily. Therefore, the resources he invests in raising each Pokémon are seen by others as extravagance and waste.
Aoki is essentially trading resources for time, using a lot of resources to save the time needed for Pokémon to grow. Others may think it's not worth it, but Aoki thinks it's all worth it.
After subduing the two major groups, especially the Togekiss, Aoki's understanding of the surrounding environment has reached a new level.
At least you don't have to blindly charge in with your head down. Being able to know the strength of the surrounding Pokémon and the terrain is still a good thing.
Aoki wanted to go to one of the waterfalls she had arranged to visit with Steven and the others, and Togekiss happened to know the location of that place as well.
