As Zeraora slowly controlled his balance, even though he had adjusted the pressure to maximum, he still stood up tremblingly.
He hadn't gotten used to this kind of weight yet, so he could only let his arm hang down to relieve the pressure of the bracelet.
"Why don't you give up? It won't do you any good. Just like the way Lucario's strength grows, this kind of thing needs to be done step by step. Rushing won't benefit you or help you gain strength."
Roy really couldn't stand it anymore. He tried to use his great Aura Force to slowly remove the object from Zeraora's wrist, but Zeraora himself was like a stubborn kitten. His entire body began to bristle and emit crackling electricity.
Although Aura Force was somewhat special, it still belonged to a category of special energy. When Zeraora emitted this crackling current, the Aura Force was also interfered with by such electrical waves, so Roy couldn't control or remove the pressure bracelet from Zeraora's wrist.
"Forget it. If you want to keep this thing, you can keep it, but I don't want you to suffer any harm. At least you should first adjust the restriction of this power to the lightest level, then gradually increase the intensity as you grow stronger. Slowly expand the pressure you can handle."
Sometimes courage and recklessness were completely different. Zeraora's stubborn appearance really reminded Roy of another Pokémon, but that other Pokémon's stubbornness was smart—he grew step by step instead of directly adjusting the power to maximum like Zeraora had. As a result, this strongest power made him unable to resist it.
Wasn't such an act reckless?
Zeraora realized this and made the bracelet's light glow again.
When the radiance was at its brightest, there was no pressure on the bracelet. The dimmer the light became, the greater the pressure the bracelet generated.
In the end, Zeraora adjusted the pressure to level one. This pressure wouldn't impact his movements or make him feel particularly strained.
This was Roy's final compromise. Zeraora was a precious Electric-type Mythical Pokémon.
Even for training purposes, Roy would never allow him to suffer any kind of harm from Roy's own equipment.
"Na~"
A lovely, soft cry came from a large rock outside the cave.
Immediately, layer after layer of blue Aura Force was transmitted directly outside the cave. Because they had Pokémon waiting outside, they hadn't spread the Aura Force too far away. But now, because they heard this cry, they used Aura Force to check what kind of creature had appeared outside.
After all, such a sound had never appeared before, and they had never felt any Pokémon emit such a cry. Sensing something strange, they used Aura Force to investigate first.
Aura Force would never make any Pokémon or human feel uncomfortable. It was just like a gentle breeze, blowing over the body from a relatively subtle angle.
Some people's perception was sharp—they could feel this kind of vague surveillance. But basically, neither people nor Pokémon would have any stress response to this special power.
The first layer was Lucario's Aura Force, projected from where he trained outside. His Aura swept outside the cave and found the appearance of that mysterious Pokémon as expected. But when he searched through his memories, none of them matched.
Therefore, his Aura Force also radiated his rather doubtful feeling.
This doubt allowed Roy to confirm his theory. After all, he had felt a certain sense of familiarity from the meteorite fragment. Would the thing he had encountered really become reality?
If it was true, then this event would definitely happen sooner or later. If it wasn't true, then there was nothing wrong with keeping such a stone by his side as a keepsake.
And the special situation happening now seemed to match his guess.
Although slightly slower than Lucario, when Roy's Aura Force spread outward, he clearly saw the appearance of this Pokémon.
After sensing this appearance, he even exclaimed slightly.
"To actually meet a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon here—Jirachi! Although in special types like the Psychic category, there are many powerful legendary-level existences, in terms of rarity, Jirachi may be second only to Mew."
Although Mew was rare and came and went without a trace, it at least existed in the world. It was possible for Mew to appear in other people's time and space or appear in their sight. But this particular Pokémon was completely different—it might only exist in this world for a few days. Before its energy was exhausted, it would either return to the sky or continue sleeping. Otherwise, continuously consuming energy would be very dangerous for it.
Jirachi needed to supplement its energy from the stars in the starry sky, which was what allowed it to continue having the power to survive in this world. Otherwise, if it stayed on this planet, it couldn't absorb stellar energy here. It could only continuously consume its own energy—either falling into a thousand-year sleep period to recover its energy, or absorbing stellar power to continue maintaining its strength.
Jirachi's power was quite special. Although it was from the Psychic type, it wouldn't use many Psychic-type moves. Most of its power came from its unique ability to grant wishes.
This power was very wondrous. It was said that Jirachi could grant wishes, but the consumption of this power must also be replenished. Every time it used this ability, it would consume part of the power from its body. Once the body's power was exhausted, it would either turn into a stone and sleep for thousands of years, or return to the starry sky to replenish its energy.
