Honchkrow absorbed all of Ho-Oh's energy.
With a level of 67, it became the highest level among Aoki's Pokemon, the same as his Slowking. And because of the feather, its talent was also upgraded to light blue. Once a Pokemon officially enters the blue qualification level, the inherent potential gap becomes gradually more apparent. According to the current situation, the strength of Honchkrow's flying-type moves may now be slightly stronger than its dark-type moves. The Honchkrow regained its fighting strength, further ensuring the safety of the camp. Even if a group of wild Pokemon were to attack the camp now, Honchkrow's Overconfidence ability would definitely play a significant and unexpected role.
Not long after the Honchkrow finished, Blaziken also successfully absorbed the energy from the feather. The overall appearance of the Blaziken did not seem to have any obvious changes, except that its feathers were brighter and more vibrant. Flames seemed to burst out from its sharp eyes. After the absorption was complete, it moved its body a few times with great vigor, feeling the changes in its physique and the internal energy flowing within it. A ball of flame rose from its right hand; the original red flame had now completely turned a brilliant gold. Although it had not reached the level of the flame within Ho-Oh's feather, it had improved a lot compared to before. And when Blaziken narrowed its eyes and concentrated all its strength, a flash of red-gold flame could be seen within the larger golden flames. It was very little, almost unnoticeable.
Aoki used his system to scan the data of Blaziken.

After looking at the data of Honchkrow, Aoki was not too surprised that Blaziken's level was increased by two levels and its talent was promoted to deep blue. Although Ho-Oh is a Fire and Flying-type Pokémon, its strongest attribute is still Fire, so Blaziken should get more benefits from the feather than Honchkrow. The key point was in the column of Blaziken's skills, where there was an additional move: Sacred Fire, listed as a defective version. The last time he saw a defective version of a skill was when his Larvitar evolved into Pupitar and learned Groudon's exclusive move, Precipice Blades. He didn't expect that Blaziken could actually learn the Sacred Fire skill from Ho-Oh. Judging from the system's scanning results, this Sacred Fire was highly defective, possessing only about 5% of the characteristics of the real Sacred Fire. In other words, when it was used, it was actually just called Sacred Fire in name, and it looked not much different from ordinary powerful flames, though perhaps there was a hint of the divine fire's true nature contained within it.
"It may be related to the concentration and purity of the flame," Aoki guessed in his heart. The flame of Blaziken should be fundamentally different from the flame of Ho-Oh. Because the flame that had appeared from the feather before was a distinct red-gold, while the flame of the Blaziken now was a pure gold, which was still a level lower in terms of essence and power. The Sacred Fire move can only be used naturally by Ho-Oh and Entei. However, in fact, the one used by Entei, strictly speaking, could also be considered a defective version, but its similarity to the true Sacred Fire is relatively much higher. Aoki's heart moved slightly. At this time, the similarity of his Tyranitar's Precipice Blades had reached 30%, and the similarity of Blaziken's Sacred Fire had reached 5%. It seemed that some of the exclusive moves of the Legendary Pokemon were not completely impossible for other Pokemon to learn, but the conditions for learning them were exceptionally high and rare. He showed a thoughtful expression.
Legendary Pokemon, why did they become Legendary? The Pokemon world was created by Arceus, and many of the Pokemon were also created by Arceus. However, before Arceus created the Pokemon world, many Legendary Pokemon actually already existed. So where did these Legendary Pokemon come from? This was a question that went straight to the root of the matter. Even if Aoki racked his brains, he would not be able to figure it out, as it was far beyond his current knowledge and understanding.
"Blaziken, try using the Sacred Fire on that tree," Aoki said to Blaziken. Blaziken nodded seriously. It had just discovered that it seemed to have learned a new move, and it did not know what the effect and power would be. It stretched out its right hand. Flames rose from its fist again. Seeing the actions of Blaziken, Aoki narrowed his eyes slightly. "It seems that different Pokemon use this move in different ways," he mused. The color of the flame on the fist gradually intensified, slowly changing from the original red-dominated flame to a purer, more brilliant golden flame. Then the Blaziken exerted its strength again, and a distinct ray of red-gold flame shot out from the very center of the larger golden flames. This time, both Aoki and Blaziken, who were watching closely, noticed the appearance of the red-gold flame. But no matter how hard Blaziken tried, there was only that small amount of the special flame. After struggling for a while without any results, Blaziken gave up trying to produce more. It ran towards a tree in the distance, the flames on its fists drifting in the wind as it ran, with no sign of dissipating or fading. It threw a straight punch.
Boom!!
It was as if a missile had hit the tree. With Blaziken's fist as the center, the effect spread in a fan-shaped area, causing massive splash damage! The trunk of the big tree that was hit head-on by the Blaziken turned directly into black ash, and the big trees behind this primary target also had large, bumpy, charred holes blown into their trunks. Everything that came into direct contact with the flames evaporated instantly. It did not catch fire due to the appearance of the flame, as if the flame had lost its fuel after leaving Blaziken's body; ordinary tree matter was not sufficient enough to be its fuel. Blaziken was also a little stunned when it saw the power of its own attack. Could flame be used like this?
Aoki's expression was somewhat solemn. Just five percent similarity could have such power? The big tree had turned completely to gray ash, and Aoki began to search carefully within the black ashes. Sure enough, he found a single seed emitting a faint green fluorescence from within the black ash. "It is just like that, the fire of Ho-Oh, rebirth from the nirvana..." Aoki stared at the seed in a trance. The true Sacred Fire of Ho-Oh, when used to its full potential, can resurrect the dead and transform Pokemon into Legendary beasts, as it did with the creation of the Legendary beasts Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. It didn't seem so surprising that the defective version of Blaziken's Sacred Fire could leave a viable seed within the ashes of a completely burnt tree. Aoki put the seed away carefully. He would plant it on the island later and see how a tree grown from it differed from other ordinary trees.
