As for breaking through the Barrier's limits.
Natsuhiko's superpower is far from reaching such a level.
Natsuhiko secretly took a deep breath.
Even though that king passed away more than a thousand years ago, and the Barrier has existed for more than a thousand years, the residual energy is still beyond what Natsuhiko can withstand.
Understand this.
There are so many sides to the entire Barrier, he's only dealing with one side, and at most, he can only take a few dozen steps forward.
The gap is too obvious.
It's unimaginable how powerful that old king of the "Earth People" must have been as a superpower user.
Of course, the Barrier was not only due to the old king's ability, but also the assistance of thousands of Psychic-type Pokémon.
But being able to carry the power of so many Psychic-type Pokémon is enough to prove his strength.
Natsuhiko stopped.
By now, he was nearing his limit.
"Nimi....."
'Enough, it's already enough.....'
The empathetic Victini grabbed Natsuhiko's arm, softly calling out.
"I refuse to believe it."
Natsuhiko's temper flared up.
A Barrier from over a thousand years ago, still able to possess such strong power?
Red light flickered.
Three Pokémon appeared behind him.
Alakazam, Oranguru, and Hatterene.
"Alakazam." Natsuhiko called out.
Alakazam understood Natsuhiko's intention and immediately stepped forward, placing its hand on Natsuhiko's shoulder.
In an instant.
Alakazam's formidable superpower fused with Natsuhiko's superpower, and Alakazam actively gave control to Natsuhiko.
Power far exceeding that of ordinary superpower users surged from Natsuhiko's body.
At that moment.
Natsuhiko's steps moved forward again, holding Victini in one arm while extending the other palm, step by step toward the bay.
However.
The farther he walked, the greater the Barrier's limitations became on Natsuhiko, and after a distance, his pace slowed down again.
By now, the sound of the waves had become very clear, and that faint ocean scent was captured by Victini's keen nose.
This should be the closest it ever got to the sea.
"Nimi..."
Victini blinked, its big round eyes filled with an uncontrollable longing.
But it also knew that Natsuhiko and Alakazam were already at their limit.
It opened its mouth, just about to persuade Natsuhiko.
When he looked down and smiled at it in his arms, saying, "Not far now, don't give up."
Victini was stunned.
Clearly, he was already very tired.
Clearly, his forehead was drenched in sweat.
Clearly, he didn't need to go this far just to help it.....
Before it could voice its doubt.
Natsuhiko called over his shoulder, "Oranguru, Hatterene."
The two Pokémon understood.
One fanned with its fan, the other swung the tendrils on its head.
Two completely different superpowers were infused into the spoon lifted by Alakazam.
That spoon, passed down from ancient times, carrying the superpowers of Alakazam and many Psychic-type Pokémon.
This time.
It was once again fulfilling its ancient role.
"Hudi!"
Unfamiliar powers infused, even though they were both Psychic powers, Alakazam couldn't help but let out a low hum.
Just these two Pokémon already made it feel immense pressure.
So how much pressure did the Alakazam of ancient times endure when it accepted the infusion from dozens of Psychic-type Pokémon?..... Alakazam mused.
Admiration for that ancient Alakazam mixed with a stimulation of its unwillingness to lose.
This method had been attempted by Natsuhiko before.
When he learned about ways to enhance superpowers from Jade Liya, this was not a rash attempt.
However, previous attempts were not as thorough as this one.
The pressure was not only on Alakazam but also on Natsuhiko.
But the external pressure didn't crush Alakazam and Natsuhiko, instead, it stimulated their superpowers to fight back, tapping into endless superpower from the depths within.
The steps continued forward.
Drip——
A drop of sweat as big as a bean slid from Natsuhiko's nose, dripping onto Victini's head.
Victini stared blankly at Natsuhiko.
Willpower!
The pressure brought not only a rebound of superpowers but also a test of Natsuhiko's willpower.
Natsuhiko hadn't forgotten how he obtained his superpower.
It was granted by Azelf, the "God of Will."
Willpower was the source of his superpower, the foundation of it.
As long as his willpower wasn't crushed, theoretically, he could obtain endless superpower.
"Nimi!"
Feeling Natsuhiko's determination and Alakazam's effort, Victini's gaze finally changed.
We can do it!
Today, we will definitely see the sea!
It was influenced by Natsuhiko and Alakazam.
The "V" on its head lit up with a flame-like glow.
The victory power belonging to Victini swept over Natsuhiko and Alakazam.
Suddenly.
Natsuhiko and Alakazam felt much less pressure, as if more power was unearthed from unknown corners.
He looked down at the serious-looking Victini.
"Nimi!"
Victini nodded earnestly and solemnly at Natsuhiko.
Feeling its attitude, Natsuhiko grinned.
In the original story.
Victini was able to help Ash Ketchum's clever kid, who was just born, with an Iron Head, knocking out Calita's Shining Three-headed Evil Dragon; what's this compared to that?
Since Victini has shown such spirit, naturally Natsuhiko and the others can't let this naive little fellow down.
"Alakazam, Mega!" Natsuhiko said in a deep voice.
"Hudi!"
The Keystone in his pocket and the Super Evolution Stone on Alakazam reacted.
