Chapter 212: Mutated Move, Gifted an Island
After releasing Bayleef, Bai Feng took out the Green Sprout that Zarude had given him.
The moment Bayleef saw the Green Sprout, its attention was captured by it. Its pair of round, black eyes stared intently at the Green Sprout.
"Bay~ Bay~" What is this?
Bayleef asked curiously.
"It's a good thing, a gift for you," Bai Feng said. Actually, he didn't know how to use this thing either. Zarude hadn't explained in detail back then. Anyway, he would just give it directly to Bayleef.
"Bay~ Bay~"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Bayleef's face lit up with surprise, and it happily bounced around.
The moment Bayleef touched the Green Sprout, the Green Sprout suddenly flew up, glowing green all over.
()
Bai Feng and Bayleef simultaneously showed expressions of disbelief. The Green Sprout flew to Bayleef's forehead and suddenly took Root there.
At this moment, the Power contained within the Green Sprout from Zarude and Bayleef's own Power seemed to have some kind of Unknown resonance. They intertwined and fused, eventually evolving into a new Power.
The Instant the new Power was born, countless dark green Patterns suddenly extended from the Root of the Green Sprout. The Patterns traced down from Bayleef's forehead, gradually expanding to its back and then to its limbs.
These dark green Patterns were like intertwined Vines, and also like vigorously growing Tree Branches, adorning Bayleef's Body and adding a touch of elegance and mystery to its temperament.
Then, the Green Sprout's light intensified greatly, suddenly transforming into countless green Light Spots, which drilled into Bayleef's Body like Fireflies.
At this Instant, the green Patterns wrapped around Bayleef's Body actually began to slowly twist, Grow, and climb, like a scene of spring arriving, everything recovering, and plants growing vigorously.
At the same time, the edges of the Patterns also flickered with golden light. The gold-green color combination made Bayleef appear like a noble "Green" Emperor.
Bai Feng and Bayleef were standing in the Courtyard at this moment. They saw new sprouts suddenly emerge from under Bayleef's feet, and then the sprouts quickly grew, turning into small trees.
These small trees were not real trees, but were entirely composed of Grass-type Energy.
More than one small tree appeared. As Time passed, sprout after sprout emerged from the Ground of the Courtyard, and the sprouts grew into Saplings in the blink of an eye, each one about as tall as Bai Feng.
Almost instantly, Bai Feng's Courtyard transformed into a Jungle. The Saplings, formed from Grass-type Energy, swayed gently, emitting green Fluorescence. Bai Feng felt as if he was in a dreamlike World.
Every time the Energy Saplings swayed, gold-green Light Spots would overflow. The Light Spots seemed to have Consciousness, splitting into two groups and drilling into Bai Feng and Bayleef's Bodies respectively.
The Instant the Light Spots entered his Body, Bai Feng felt completely filled with Power!
Could this be the move Jungle Healing that Bayleef inherited from Zarude?
No, Bai Feng had seen Zarude use Jungle Healing personally, and it wasn't like this. It should be a new move produced by the combination and Mutation of Bayleef's Grassy Terrain and Zarude's Jungle Healing.
It not only possessed the ability of Jungle Healing to instantly restore Stamina and dispel Status Conditions, but also provided continuous healing effects to allies in the subsequent Time.
This move should perhaps be called—Jungle Terrain.
There was also a Flower Garden in the Courtyard. Under the Function of Jungle Terrain, all the Fresh Flowers in the Flower Garden bloomed in an Instant, full of vigorous Life Force.
After an Unknown amount of Time, the gold-green Patterns on Bayleef's Body slowly faded, and the Jungle Terrain in the Courtyard also disappeared into the Air as formless Energy.
Seeing Bayleef open its Eyes, Bai Feng quickly asked, "Bayleef, how do you feel?"
"Bay~ Bay~" I feel great.
Bayleef's Eyes were almost narrowed into crescent moons.
"Let me check your Body," Bai Feng said.
"Bay~"
Bayleef nodded repeatedly.
Bai Feng placed his hand on Bayleef's back and then controlled his Golden Finger Energy to enter its Body. He was immediately shocked.
How did the Energy accumulation inside Bayleef's Body suddenly increase so much?
He quickly took out the Energy Detection Instrument to measure it. It showed:
Bayleef
Energy Storage: S+++ Rank
Energy Quality: A+ Rank
In terms of Quantity, this Energy had even caught up to Dragonair and Bai Ye. No... Bai Feng even suspected it had surpassed Dragonair and Bai Ye, because the upper limit of this Energy Detection Instrument was S+++ Rank, and anything more wouldn't be displayed.
And under the perception of Bai Feng's Golden Finger, the Energy inside Bayleef's Body was clearly quite a bit more than Bai Ye and Dragonair. If its Quality hadn't been insufficient, Bayleef would probably have jumped to first place by now.
However, Bai Feng felt that after he improved the Energy Quality inside Bayleef's Body, it would still have at least S-Grade Storage.
With a greatly increased Energy Storage inside its Body and having comprehended a new move, Bayleef's Strength had also greatly increased. Bai Feng patted its Neck with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. Keep up the Effort in the future!"
"Bay~"
Bayleef rubbed its Neck against Bai Feng's Palm, then trotted out of the Courtyard on its four legs and went to the S-Rank Star Peach Fruit Sapling (obtained from the Auction) to continuously Test its new move.
Meanwhile, on the Sea not far from Couriway Town, a Giant Bird-type Pokemon suddenly rushed out of the Sea, causing gusts of wind to sweep across the Sea Surface.
However, the gusts of wind appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly, soon transforming into a breeze that made the Sea Surface shimmer with light.
Bai Feng watched Bayleef run out from the Courtyard. He suddenly felt the Wind picking up outside. He walked to the Courtyard Entrance and indeed saw the colorful Flowers in the Fairy Flower Field not far away swaying in the Wind. At the same time, the Fruit Forest also made a rustling sound.
The next day, Bai Feng was Busy in the Fruit Forest when he suddenly felt a light drizzle falling from the Sky. He looked up at the Sky in confusion.
"Why is it suddenly raining? Wasn't it Sunny Day just now?"
The Water-type Pokémon helped water the Fruit Forest every day, so Bai Feng didn't need precipitation here. He walked towards the group of Sunflora, wanting them to use Sunny Day to dispel the rain clouds, but was surprised to find that all the Sunflora had run away from their usual sunbathing spot.
Bai Feng finally found them in the Employee Dormitory.
"What's wrong with you guys? Shouldn't you be dispelling the Rainwater at this time?" Bai Feng asked in confusion.
At this moment, a Sunflora stepped forward and explained, "It's strange, we can't dispel today's Rainwater."
"Can't dispel it?" Bai Feng looked surprised.
"Mhm mhm~~"
The Sunflora nodded repeatedly. Because they couldn't dispel the clouds and rain, and they didn't like Rainwater, they had to return to the Employee Dormitory to hide.
"Then you guys rest first, I'll go out and take a look."
Bai Feng walked out while deep in thought. Why couldn't they dispel it for no reason?
He walked to the Doorway of the Employee Dormitory and looked at the drizzle outside.
The Cloud Layer in the Sky wasn't thick, and the Rainwater was only a drizzle, yet the Sunflora said they couldn't dispel such rain...
Unless this rain wasn't naturally generated.
Just as Bai Feng lowered his head in thought, he seemed to hear a sound in his ear, somewhat like the cry of a large Creature.
But when he listened carefully again, the sound disappeared.
Was it his imagination?
After staring at the Sky for a while, Bai Feng decided to go back and continue being Busy. Anyway, the rain wasn't heavy and didn't hinder work. At most, he could just wear a Raincoat.
However, just then, the drizzle in the Sky suddenly disappeared, and gusts of breeze blew against Bai Feng's face. He saw thick white clouds appearing at High Altitude. The clouds stacked up layer by layer, looking very spectacular.
"Cree!"
"Cree!"
"Cree!"
Not long after, three bird calls came from the Cloud Layer. Bai Feng vaguely saw three colored Light Spots, blue, red, and yellow, moving quickly within the Cloud Layer.
Bai Feng was too familiar with these three calls. Weren't they the voices of the Legendary Birds?
"Roar~"
As the Cloud Layer churned again, a cry came from within. Bai Feng heard it clearly this time, and at the same time, he saw a huge white dragon head emerge from the thick Cloud Layer.
The white dragon head turned downwards, meeting Bai Feng's gaze exactly. It showed Bai Feng a friendly Smile.
It was Lugia!
It had finally fully recovered and no longer needed to be bound in the Sea God's Cave.
At this moment, Bai Feng finally understood what was going on with the sudden rain and Wind. Lugia was the Lord of the Tides and the Lord of the Ocean Currents. Its actions would inevitably cause changes in weather phenomena.
"Roar~"
Lugia's cry sounded again. This time, Bai Feng heard its call to him, so he used his Psychic Power, controlling his Body to fly towards the Cloud Layer.
This thick Cloud Layer was created by Lugia for Concealment. It had come specifically to see Bai Feng, so the Cloud Layer was not very high from the Ground.
"Cree!"
"Cree!"
"Cree!"
The moment Bai Feng flew into the Cloud Layer, the Legendary Birds also flew over and greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Hello, long time no see," Bai Feng also waved and greeted the Legendary Birds.
"It seems your Psychic Power has awakened, and your Training is quite good," Lugia's voice sounded in Bai Feng's heart.
"I owe it to your Gift," Bai Feng said gratefully. The Psychic Power Lugia had given him had indeed brought him a lot of convenience.
"You helped me, that's nothing," Lugia said with a Smile.
"Why did you think of coming here today?" Although Bai Feng was very happy to see Lugia fully recovered, he still asked with a puzzled expression.
Lugia replied, "Since my Injuries have fully recovered, it is Time for me to leave here and fulfill my duty. We came here today to bid you farewell."
Bai Feng had saved it after all, so now that it was leaving, it had to come and say goodbye.
Bai Feng suddenly understood upon hearing this. He smiled and gave his Blessing to Lugia and the Legendary Birds, "Then I wish you a smooth journey!"
He felt no reluctance to part. Separation and meeting were the normal state of life.
Then he heard Lugia say, "Before I leave, I want to give you a small Gift."
"Gift?" Hearing Lugia's words, Bai Feng was startled. Was there such a good thing?
Lugia nodded, then turned its head and roared behind it. The thick Cloud Layer slowly separated to both sides, and a giant Island appeared before Bai Feng's Eyes.
Good heavens! Good heavens! Good heavens!
This is what you call a small Gift? This is a damn Island!
No wonder he had felt earlier that the cloud behind Lugia and the Legendary Birds was excessively thick. It turned out it was used to conceal the Island.
Fortunately, they still knew to use the Cloud Layer for Concealment, otherwise, it would definitely be on the news Headline tomorrow. Bai Feng could already foresee the Headline, something like, "Mysterious Island Inexplicably Appears in the Sky - What's Going On?"
Looking from afar, Bai Feng saw that the Island was lush and green, covered with Sky-reaching Giant Trees. The Trees were also full of Berries of various sizes, different shapes, and various colors.
The more Bai Feng looked at the Island, the more familiar it seemed. He turned to look at Lugia, "You moved the underground space of the Sea God's Cave here?"
Lugia nodded, then shook its head, "Only half of it was moved."
The underground space of the Sea God's Cave was jointly created by Lugia and Kyogre back then. The Dimension was incredibly vast. After thousands of years of proliferation, a large number of high-level Fruit Trees had grown there, and a portion of Wild Pokémon also lived there.
Of course, Lugia couldn't deprive other Pokémon of their living space just to give Bai Feng a Gift. So it split that underground space into two. The part where other Pokémon lived remained in the Sea God's Cave, while the part with abundant Resources was brought out to be given to Bai Feng.
Lugia knew that high-grade Berries were very precious in the Human World. It thought that the surplus Berries would be wasted if they stayed in the Sea God's Cave anyway, so it might as well use them as a parting Gift for Bai Feng.
Hearing Lugia's answer, Bai Feng looked at the Island again. And you call this "just"? It's already big enough!
Seeing Bai Feng stunned, Lugia asked, "Where do you want to place it? I'll help you."
Bai Feng looked troubled upon hearing this, "Placing an Island will cause a big stir. What if it alarms Others?" Will he make headlines tomorrow because of this? "How about we place it tonight?" Others wouldn't be able to see at night.
There were still workers doing construction on his Fangyuan Mountain! (Bai Feng's four Mountains are Fang Xing Mountain, Fang Cun Mountain, Maple Leaf Mountain, and Fangyuan Mountain.)
Lugia smiled, "You can rest assured about this. I can definitely help you settle it properly. You just need to say where to place it."
Seeing Lugia so full of confidence, Bai Feng had to say, "Alright then."
Bai Feng circled around his several Mountains and finally chose the Valley between Fang Xing Mountain and Maple Leaf Mountain. The Terrain there was flat, and the size of the area was just right.
"Confirmed to place it there?" Lugia asked.
"Confirmed," Bai Feng nodded in reply.
Lugia nodded upon hearing this, then its Eyes emitted an intense purple light. Then Bai Feng saw thick mist gradually rising in that Valley. In a moment, the entire Valley was covered.
Then Bai Feng saw that the Cloud Layer concealing the Island in the Sky began to pour down into the Valley.
Seeing Bai Feng looking worried, Lugia smiled, "Don't worry, I used Psychic Power to create light Concealment. No one will notice the Situation here."
So that's how it is! Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief!
