The sheer intimidation carried by the aura alone would likely deter some weaker Pokémon from battling it.
"Muu Muu!"
Kapu-Muu suddenly moved, its opened red shell abruptly closed, completely enveloping its body, leaving only the pair of horns on its head and the large metal bell beneath it exposed.
Dong dong dong——
The crisp and melodious bell sound echoed through the valley.
Where the sound waves passed, the vegetation in the valley grew wildly and exuberantly.
As the Guardian God of Ula ula Island, a Grass Type and Fairy Type Divine Beast, Kapu-Muu has the power to manipulate plants, including making them grow rapidly.
Not only that.
As the vegetation in the valley grew rapidly, Natsuhiko saw strands of twinkling light drifting from these plants, swirling around Kapu-Muu's bell.
It gave a feeling of being very vigorous and vibrant.
Natsuhiko didn't know what Kapu-Muu was doing, but just silently stood aside watching.
When Kapu-Muu gathered energy to a certain degree.
It flew next to the Beedrill.
Circled around it.
With continuous bell sounds, the green crystal-like energy surrounding Kapu-Muu's bell slowly drifted around the Beedrill's body.
And all this green energy unreservedly merged into the Beedrill's body.
"Hiss... Purr..."
Feeling the mysterious green energy merging in, the Beedrill felt no discomfort, even sighed comfortably, unable to hold back a moan.
"Hmm?"
Seeing this, Natsuhiko vaguely guessed a little of what Kapu-Muu was doing.
As seen.
With more and more energy dispersed, the aura surrounding the Beedrill's body became increasingly solid.
If originally the Leader Aura and Overlord Aura of the Beedrill were haphazardly blended together, although the overall appearance was dark red, upon closer inspection, one could still distinguish that the two auras were merely superficially mixed.
Then now with Kapu-Muu's help, these two auras were truly and slowly integrating into one.
How did those Overlord Pokémon in the Alola Region come to be?
Wasn't it because they had the protection and care of the Island Gods?
Now.
It seemed Kapu-Muu was also taking care of the Beedrill.
As someone nearly symbiotic with the Beedrill, Natsuhiko could clearly feel the changes in the Beedrill.
Not just the aura changes shown outwardly.
But also inside.
Some hidden, deeply concealed injuries that were almost undetectable were being healed.
Just as Giovanni said, his method of nurturing the Beedrill might not completely suit Natsuhiko.
Although Giovanni had made some adjustments, and Natsuhiko had further adjusted upon that, it still did not entirely suit the Beedrill; it was just that the impacts were so slight that Natsuhiko did not notice, thus assuming it had no effect.
But if these subtle impacts accumulate, it's not impossible that they could potentially affect the Beedrill's growth limits.
Besides.
The strong yet mixed toxin born from swallowing the poison sac has removed some impurities.
The Insect Energy is even showing signs of a slow transformation, a convergence into qualitative change.
This feeling is a bit familiar.
Natsuhiko lowered his head.
Suddenly looked up.
Power of the Eternal Plate?!
This distinctly gave him a feeling of the Power of the Eternal Plate.
Even the effect it exerted was more outstanding than the Power of the Eternal Plate.
Why could Giovanni's Beedrill reach such a terrifying level?
Could even resist Divine Beasts to some extent.
Was it because his Beedrill was excellent?
That's one reason.
Was it because he invested massive resources?
That's also a factor.
But more importantly, it's because Giovanni possessed the Power of the Eternal Plate, which greatly elevated the Beedrill's growth limits.
And now, it seems Kapu-Muu is doing the same thing.
But.
Why?
Dong!
As the final bell sound stopped.
Kapu-Muu unfolded its shell again.
The Beedrill, as if having enjoyed an ultimate massage, dispersed the aura that surrounded it, its wings' Thunderlight restrained, slowly landing on the ground.
In the next second, it unexpectedly fell asleep.
Slept because it was so comfortable?
This...
Natsuhiko looked at Kapu-Muu again.
And Kapu-Muu's gaze didn't avoid his, meeting his directly.
Natsuhiko even saw a hint of fatigue in its eyes.
Apparently, what it did just now wasn't as simple as it seemed to Kapu-Muu.
Although.
By doing this, Kapu-Muu certainly granted a huge boon to the Beedrill.
But why did Natsuhiko have a feeling...
That Kapu-Muu was first giving him a benefit to stop him from speaking?
A slightly absurd notion, yet it couldn't be shaken from Natsuhiko's mind.
He pursed his lips.
Kapu-Muu gently landed on the ground, the soft grass instantly grew and spread, forming into a soft cushion-like shape, allowing it to sit comfortably.
Natsuhiko pondered for a moment, then sat cross-legged directly opposite Kapu-Muu.
He spoke first, "Kapu-Muu, thank you for what you did for the Beedrill. But I still have doubts in my heart. I want to ask, what exactly is this thing?"
Saying this, he took out the black Crystal Stone.
Kapu-Muu's expression flickered.
It did not answer, just silently looked at Natsuhiko.
But really its actions already explained everything.
Natsuhiko took a deep breath, a slightly bitter smile appeared on his face, "So my guess was right?"
