"Can I absorb it too?" Natsuhiko looked at the azure crystal in his hand and asked.
"Alakazam."
Alakazam decisively nodded.
These psychic abilities are ordinary ones, although pure, they don't help it much.
If it's Natsuhiko, he should be able to gain quite a bit of benefit.
After Natsuhiko and Alakazam communicated about this, he already understood.
Natsuhiko's psychic abilities have always been neither high nor low, although he learned a method to enhance psychic abilities from Jade Liya, Natsuhiko has never tried it.
Mainly because it's too dangerous.
Also, his demand for psychic abilities isn't high.
After all, he is not a Trainer specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon, just having telepathy is enough.
As for why he didn't ask Nancy how to improve his psychic abilities?
Is there a difference compared to asking Jade Liya?
Both are exceptionally gifted beings.
They don't have to worry about lacking psychic abilities; what they should be more concerned and pondered about is what to do with too much psychic power.
It's like asking a billionaire how to make money.
He will tell you, stocks, venture capital, starting a company, isn't money just earned effortlessly?
Everyone understands the logic, but the problem is you don't have the foundation, how can you learn from them?
Do you really think their "small goals" are also small goals for you?
"Then let's give it a try." He clenched the crystal stone in his hand.
Slightly permeated it with his psychic power.
At first, it felt difficult, like trying to dig a tunnel with a spoon.
But once a gap appeared on the crystal stone, the speed suddenly increased.
Threads of pure psychic power, under the traction of Natsuhiko's own psychic abilities, permeated his body, entering his mind and consciousness.
Gradually.
Natsuhiko felt his spirit detaching from his body and continuously ascending, accompanied by a mysterious colorful halo.
Twisting, turning, folding.
He felt a sense of dizziness as if he was about to vomit.
And he felt as if he has ascended to some height.
Suddenly.
The ascent of the spiritual body halted.
Following that was a sensation of a crazy fall.
All the surrounding colors seemed to fade, with only black remaining, slowly eroding other colors.
During the fall.
Natsuhiko seemed to see his own body.
Boom!!
In the moment of contact between consciousness and body, a thunderous sound exploded in his ears, followed by his consciousness returning to his body, and Natsuhiko felt a chill on his back once more.
His body uncontrollably swayed, having to lean forward and support the ground to barely prevent himself from falling.
The feeling of dizziness lingered persistently.
Bean-sized sweat continuously slid off the tip of his nose, and his back was already completely soaked.
Pale as a sheet, he seemed utterly drained as if he had gone through hell.
Observing this scene.
The nearby Pokémon who were playing rushed over.
Various assistive techniques were thrown onto him indiscriminately, regardless of whether they were useful.
Little Eevee was anxious, its eyes shimmering with tears.
Alakazam supported Natsuhiko.
It didn't expect this outcome.
It hadn't clearly communicated to Natsuhiko that such a large piece of pure psychic power crystal couldn't be absorbed all at once.
But mainly it was because Alakazam didn't think Natsuhiko could fully absorb it; it thought absorbing half would be good enough for him.
After a long while.
Breathing heavily and coming back to his senses, Natsuhiko raised his hand, his voice slightly weak, saying, "I'm okay..."
Hearing him speak, the Pokémon finally sighed in relief.
"But I might need to rest a bit, Beedrill, Alakazam, you take care of them and make sure they don't act out..."
"Buzz!"
"Alakazam!"
Having been captured by Natsuhiko earliest and being the stable Pokémon with a mature personality, a leader in the team, Natsuhiko trusted them quite a bit.
Actually, as long as Togekiss and Latios aren't in charge, there shouldn't be any major issues.
Whoosh—
Then, Natsuhiko's steady breathing sounded.
The Pokémon exchanged glances, and ultimately, Beedrill and Alakazam, being the most experienced, commanded the Pokémon and started to act.
Beedrill found a relatively safe and quiet place, Togekiss used "Secret Power" to open a small space in a tree, and Alakazam directed everyone to gather food and rest.
No major chaos ensued.
Once Natsuhiko collapsed.
All the Pokémon suddenly became more mature.
Even usually playful Togekiss and Latios acted very cooperative at this moment.
Like when the adults of the house go out, the children become the managers, feeling the weight of the house, they all felt the pressure and became considerably mature and steady.
...
...
"Uh..."
Feeling some tightness in his chest and a slight headache.
Natsuhiko opened his eyes once again.
Then he saw, in the small space Togekiss had opened, that Beedrill and Alakazam were engaging in their routine battle training.
Togekiss instructed Latios on flying techniques.
Aegislash silently practiced form transitions in the corner; in battlegrounds, the speed of transitions is crucial.
Monferno was training battle techniques with Bewear.
Even though Monferno was currently bruised and swollen, its eyes remained determined, the only Pokémon among Natsuhiko's team unfazed by Bewear.
Little Eevee curled up on his chest, its fluffy head snugly pressed against him, giving off the impression of an animated mink scarf.
