Chapter 153 Sending You to Heaven
When the Wind Fairy returned to the manor, Ark was returning from training with his baby dragon on the mountain.
Baby Dragon has changed a lot today.
Compared to yesterday when it wanted to eat starfruit halfway through training, today it didn't even need Ark to take out his phone to play Dragon Movies before it huffed and puffed its short legs and climbed all the way to the top of the mountain in one go.
Standing on the mountaintop, the little guy looked down at the scenery below and gazed at the vast sky in the distance. Suddenly, he tilted his head back and let out a cute but fierce howl.
It really did it!
Baby Dragon turned its head, its eyes sparkling as it looked at the Ark, its face full of anticipation.
With all this effort, am I evolving fast?
"It will evolve soon!" Ark smiled and patted its head.
The first training session was the toughest, but the second one didn't seem so difficult.
Fangzhou secretly planned that once the Baby Dragon gradually adapted to this level of intensity, it would be time to have other Pokémon manually create an even more challenging environment for it.
However, if the difficulty is increased again, I'm worried it won't be able to handle it.
Ark didn't really want to increase its strength, but this would be very helpful for Baby Dragon to evolve sooner, so it had to be kept under constant pressure.
While applying pressure, we also need to offer some inspiration. Last time, I used movies to motivate people, but the same approach was much less effective the second time. We need to find a new way.
Fangzhou quickly came up with an idea: Baby Dragon's greatest desire was to fly in the sky.
In the evening, we'll have the tropical dragon help us take our baby dragon for a stroll in the sky, letting it experience the feeling of flying and recharge so it'll be full of energy for tomorrow.
"Beep beep beep!" Upon seeing the Ark, the Wind Fairy happily ran over.
"Huh? Whimsicott, you're out of Rayquaza's ruins so quickly? Did you encounter any danger?"
Upon hearing Ark's question, the Wind Fairy sent out a series of "beep beep" sounds, as if sending a telegram.
Dangerous? There are far too many!
It recounted its experiences in the ruins from beginning to end.
The first challenge was the turbulent airflow, which almost blew Pikachu into a daze.
The second level requires balancing the energy of the land and the ocean; one wrong move and you'll summon a bunch of flying phantoms to gang up on you.
The third level is even more outrageous, with a phantom of Rayquaza appearing out of nowhere, which is terrifyingly powerful.
Fangzhou felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this.
The remains of these mythical beasts are indeed all extraordinary.
Speaking of Rayquaza's final illusion, Whimsicott puffed out its little chest and proudly emphasized that it was Whimsicott that defeated it.
Fangzhou chuckled and ruffled its fluffy head: "You're getting more and more reliable, you wind sprite."
"Beep beep beep~"
"By the way, you said you felt stronger after clearing the ruins?"
The wind sprite nodded vigorously; it had never felt so powerful before.
It used to be as weak as a Swablu, but now it feels it's on par with Kirlia and Infernape!
[Sprite: Whimsicott]
[Gender: Female]
【Characteristic: Penetration】
[Growth Stage: Dojo Level]
[Skills: Solar Flare (Mastery), Tailwind (Mastery), Growth (Beginner), Seed Gun (Mastery)...]
[Affection Level: 85 (Ark knows everything)]
[Mood: 90 (I've become stronger; I can protect everyone now)]
Fangzhou glanced at the system panel and was startled.
In just one morning, Wind Fairy has already jumped from Elite level to the peak of Dojo level, and is only one step away from Elite King level!
It has become the third Pokémon in the manor to break through its current limitations.
The wind sprite carefully took out a roll of blueprints from its adventure backpack.
"Drip. (This is the treasure I found in the ruins, I don't know what it's for.)"
Relics and treasures?
Fangzhou curiously took it and unfolded it. The paper was covered with all sorts of strange patterns, looking like a rune array pieced together from multiple parts.
The center of the magic circle was a six-pointed star array, surrounded by layers of circles, which immediately reminded Fangzhou of the magic circle in "Cardcaptor Sakura".
In fact, the Pokémon anime also featured the concept of magic circles. One episode was about a woman from the future who traveled to the present through a magic circle to help a little girl muster the courage to become an archaeologist.
Fangzhou carefully examined the blueprints and could vaguely see that the evolution stones were arranged in a special order in the array, with twisted patterns engraved around them, resembling some kind of ancient script, neither the current Pokémon script nor the Unknown Totem.
Just then, a system notification popped up.
Congratulations on obtaining the Energy Conversion Array!
[Energy Conversion Array: This array can draw energy from items, helping Pokémon quickly digest and absorb this power.]
Fangzhou's eyes lit up immediately.
It can actually accelerate the Pokémon's absorption of the item's energy!
This is really good stuff!
He currently possesses numerous god-tier items, including Lugia's Silver Wing, Rayquaza's Dragon Scale, Heart Drop, and the Arceus Jade Tablet within the Venomous Moth.
However, these items require long-term use to gradually show their effects, which is too slow for improving strength.
With the help of this magic circle, wouldn't my Pokémon's strength grow rapidly?
Fang Zhou immediately made up his mind that he had to break the magic array as soon as possible!
Unfortunately, the system only explained its function but didn't provide specific operating steps, so I had to figure it out myself.
Fangzhou came up with a solution to decipher ancient writing: go to the town library and find some reference books.
He remembered that the library was right behind the mayor's house, so he immediately called Tropical Dragon to set off.
Just as they took to mid-air, a clear dragon's roar suddenly echoed from the mayor's mansion.
The Salamence spread its wings and caught up, blocking the Ark's path. Its eyes were full of expectation, yet it hesitated to speak.
Fangzhou hadn't expected it to appear so suddenly. Judging from its expression, he could roughly guess why it had stopped him.
"Don't worry, Babydra has been training very hard these past two days and is already one of the hardest-working Pokémon in the manor."
The Salamence let out a satisfied groan, then turned and flew back.
Watching the other person leave, Fangzhou was filled with emotion and thought of the phrase "Chen's mother asked about courage".
Upon arriving at the library, with the help of the librarian, Ark finally found a relevant book.
There are very few people researching this area.
He opened the cover and saw the author's name listed as "Dr. Xiuli".
Fangzhou vaguely recognized the name; he was Mei's father in the theatrical film "The Emperor of the Crystal Tower".
Fangzhou remembered that Dr. Xiuli was an expert in the study of unknown totems, but he didn't expect her to also have some knowledge of this ancient script.
He flipped through a few pages and felt a headache coming on; there were even grammar explanations inside!
The grammar of ancient Chinese is completely different from that of modern Chinese, and I suddenly have a feeling of déjà vu, like I'm learning English.
Thinking of the benefits of mastering ancient scripts, Fangzhou regained his spirits.
Ancient writing is wonderful; we must learn it!
Back at the manor, carrying a thick stack of reference books, Fang Zhou beckoned to his precious dragon, who was practicing its claws in the open space: "Come on, let me take you up to the sky."
