"Really did it..."
Even Beedrill gained the ability to generate electrical currents by eating Zapdos' feather, causing his speed to soar.
It seems like Togekiss using the technique "Power of the Moon" with the assistance of Xerneas' horn isn't that hard to accept.
Natsuhiko reached out his hand, parting Togekiss's feathers, gazing at the horn hidden beneath.
At the tip of the horn, where it connects with Togekiss's skin.
Natsuhiko discovered.
This horn isn't merely hanging or glued on.
It seems to be completely integrated with Togekiss's skin and flesh.
As if it grew naturally from Togekiss.
His brows furrowed slightly.
This situation, it's unclear whether it's good or bad.
At least for now, things seem to be in Togekiss's favor.
"Togekiss, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Or is there any place you're not adapting to?" Natsuhiko asked.
Though Xerneas' horn is a good thing, it allowed Togekiss to learn the technique "Power of the Moon", but if it means Togekiss has to pay some price for it, then it's not worth having.
"Chakoo?"
Togekiss tilted its head, its feather tips bent, gently touching its head.
The head shook.
Uncomfortable?
Seems there's no discomfort, it even feels quite comfortable, the power contained within the horn makes its body feel much lighter.
With Togekiss's confirmation, Natsuhiko breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Since nothing bad has happened, let's keep it this way for now.
But he still said, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the future, be sure to tell me immediately."
Xerneas, as the Legendary Pokémon ruling life, shouldn't do anything to harm other Pokémon.
After all, it's not the counterpart Divine Beast representing "Destruction", Yveltal.
If this component were from Yveltal, even if Togekiss didn't feel anything weird, Natsuhiko would aim to remove it as the first objective.
As things appear now.
Beedrill, integrating leader aura and overlord aura after eating the "Pure Gold Feather".
Alakazam harboring fragments of Dream Gene, absorbing pieces of Superpower Stone Plate.
Togekiss connected to Xerneas' horn.
Natsuhiko's Pokémon seemingly are approaching the status of a "small Divine Beast".
Though growing to the level of a Divine Beast is impossible.
But this undoubtedly shows their great potential, with plenty of room to exploit and grow.
Togekiss's small eyes were full of mischief, spinning around twice.
"Chakoo——"
Before Natsuhiko could finish his contemplation, Togekiss squinted its eyes, furrowed its brow, and let out a somewhat painful sound.
Natsuhiko's heart skipped, hurriedly asking, "What's wrong? Is there any discomfort you're feeling?"
This was indeed nerve-wracking.
Natsuhiko was ready to call Dragapult over to forcibly remove the horn.
"Chakoo..."
But then Togekiss gently flapped its wings twice, leaning against Natsuhiko.
'Feeling like no energy throughout the whole body...'
"Dra..."
Natsuhiko was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Togekiss's next sentence.
"Chakoo~~"
'I'm fine, maybe just need some ice cream to feel better.'
Natsuhiko: "..."
Realizing this, Natsuhiko instantly understood what Togekiss was up to.
Pretending to be sick?
"Baluya?"
But Dragapult still came to Natsuhiko's side promptly.
Upon nearing Togekiss, Dragapult gazed at Togekiss with slight surprise.
The Fairy Energy emanating from Togekiss made Dragapult feel a slight discomfort.
Previously, Togekiss wouldn't give Dragapult such a feeling.
Dragapult's glance swept over Togekiss's feathers.
The previous scene it witnessed was now clear.
But being close felt completely different from being observing from afar.
The horn... gave it a faint sense of threat.
Yet Natsuhiko expressionlessly hugged Togekiss, then told Dragapult:
"There's an issue, the horn on Togekiss's head should be harmful to it, I'm preparing to forcibly remove it, assist me."
Harmful?
Dragapult froze.
Even though it's a Dragon-type Pokémon, feeling a faint threat from the horn, it also clearly sensed the horn is gentle, shouldn't be harmful to Togekiss.
Then seeing Natsuhiko blink at it, Dragapult understood instantly.
"Baluya!"
Hearing about the forceful removal, Togekiss's body stiffened, slowly raising its head from Natsuhiko's embrace.
"Chakoo....."
'No need, I feel much better now, if I had two ice creams, I'd probably recover even faster.'
"No way!"
Yet Natsuhiko sternly refused with a firm attitude.
Then he softly reassured Togekiss, "Don't worry, it's just grown into your skin, removing it might hurt a bit, but shouldn't be too painful. At worst it might tear away some skin, if it's deep, even bone might come off.
But it's okay, such injuries might just hurt for a while, I'll take you to the Poke Center, handled in about ten days or so it'll be fully recovered.
There's a possibility the tuft of feathers on your head won't grow back, but that's okay, it won't affect you much, just might make you look a bit unattractive.
Togekiss, relax, we're very professional."
