Due to the need to use the gacha, Caleb and Mewtwo temporarily exited the Extreme Realm instance and teleported directly back home...
"Is Dragonite here?" Caleb asked, looking at Celebi and Mimikyu who were lying on the sofa drinking juice.
"Bi!"
"Kyuu!"
The two little Pokémon shook their heads.
Dragonite was different from them. Because of his size, Dragonite would feel very stifled if he stayed in the room all the time.
Even though Caleb had already expanded the room once, Dragonite still preferred to stay in the Paradise. It only returned at night or when Caleb was around.
Seeing this, Caleb nodded slightly, then accessed the Paradise's permissions to lock onto Dragonite's location and teleported directly there.
When he arrived at the destination, Dragonite was lying on the grass with Hydreigon, leisurely sunbathing.
Sensing a familiar presence suddenly appearing in the air, Dragonite slowly sat up from the grass, opening his large lake-green eyes to look in Caleb's direction, "Wuu?"
Hydreigon, lying nearby, also opened its eyes at the sound. Upon seeing Caleb, it immediately rushed over and enthusiastically licked his face, smearing saliva all over it. This was Hydreigon's way of expressing affection.
Although Caleb didn't mind, he still turned his head and said in a faint tone, "You stole the strawberry cake I left in the fridge."
He could smell the strawberry scent.
Hearing this, Hydreigon's body stiffened and instinctively took a small step back, a guilty look flashing in its eyes.
Caleb: "..."
"Never mind, it's fine if you ate it. Go play!" He rubbed Hydreigon's head and didn't make a big deal of it. After all, it was just a snack he had prepared for them.
Hydreigon's previously tense mood immediately relaxed upon hearing this, thinking, 'Dad is really too good to me!'
Caleb didn't know what Hydreigon was thinking at that moment. He turned around, sat down in front of Dragonite, opened the gacha interface from his inventory, and pulled the big spinning wheel in front of Dragonite.
Dragonite blinked, recognizing this thing. He was supposed to put his paw on it, then this thing would spin automatically, and then his trainer would become very happy.
Thinking this, Dragonite proactively extended his paw and gently placed it on the wheel...
Caleb was taken aback, 'I didn't even say anything yet!'
But the next second, he saw the pointer on the wheel start spinning wildly. Soon, the big wheel stopped, and a red light shone from it:
*Ding!*
[Congratulations on obtaining the A-grade item
«Ban Card (A-grade item): Can be used on a designated target to automatically disable one Pokémon from the opponent's team.
Note: This item only works on players and has no effect on trainers within Instances...»
«Rewind (S-grade item): A magical item with save and loading functions. The player can save at a certain point in time. The save will automatically record the status of all the player's Pokémon and the contents of the player's inventory.
The player can choose to load the save at any subsequent point in time. After use, everything returns to the state before the save. Can only be used once per Instance...»
"Whaaat?!" Caleb looked at Dragonite in shock.
'Does this Dragonite of mine have some kind of super luck buff on him?!'
"Wuu?" (What's wrong?)
Dragonite looked over somewhat puzzled.
Caleb snapped back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I'm just too happy."
This was truly something worth celebrating. Caleb rubbed Dragonite's chubby, plump little face.
"Wuu..." Dragonite deliberately puffed out his cheeks.
Caleb smiled, poked them, and said, "As a reward, is there anything you want?"
Today, even if Dragonite wanted the stars in the sky, Caleb would buy them for him.
But Dragonite didn't want anything. He already had a warm home, a trainer who treated him very well, and a group of unique companions.
Compared to his previous life in the Dragon Holy Land, things were very good now...
Sensing Dragonite's thoughts, Caleb was touched. Like Mimikyu, Dragonite was a companion who had been with him since the first Instance until now.
Caleb still remembered the unruly appearance Dragonite had when they first met.
Unknowingly, Dragonite had shed his wild nature, gradually becoming gentle and well-behaved, even learning to proactively accept and care for newly joined companions...
Caleb thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing you want?"
Dragonite shook his head with a silly smile, "Wuu." (No.)
If possible, he wanted to live together with Caleb forever, and he also wanted Caleb to always be happy.
But Dragonite didn't say this out loud... He just pushed Caleb's hand with his paw, thinking, 'Alright, go do what you need to do! I want to continue sunbathing!'
Caleb sensed Dragonite's intent. He smiled and stood up, saying, "Then I'll go first. See you at noon."
The time was now 10 a.m. He could probably manage one more tier of the Extreme Realm Instance before it was time for lunch.
Dragonite had already lain back down on the grass, responding lazily, "Wuu~"
"Let's go." Caleb said to Mewtwo beside him and entered the Extreme Realm Instance again.
The name of the third tier of the Extreme Realm was:
[Tier 3: Great Tsunami! The Battle Against Dark Lugia!]
The moment he entered this stage, Caleb saw an all-black Lugia floating in mid-air with its eyes closed.
It was still that kind of ruined world, and below was similarly a deep, bottomless ocean.
Mewtwo used his psychic power to help Caleb float in the air. He silently looked at the dark Lugia and suddenly said: >..It's very strong..<
Caleb, who was checking the items in his inventory, was taken aback by this. He looked up at the dark Lugia, noticing it hadn't moved.
Caleb quickly guessed that its activation method should be the same as Celebi's in the first tier... Meaning it would only attack after being attacked.
But it wasn't awake yet. Caleb turned to look at Mewtwo. He wasn't surprised that Mewtwo could sense Dark Lugia's strength. So he asked, "How does it compare to you?"
A blue light appeared in Mewtwo's eyes. His tone unchanged, saying: >..There's still a bit of a gap. Shall we act now?..<
"Not yet." Caleb turned his gaze to Rewind, the S-grade item that Dragonite had drawn in the inventory panel.
Unlike the Book of Answers and the Warp Beacon, which could only be used in Instances and not in the Infinite World, this item showed a 'usable' prompt at this moment.
'Is this a loophole in the Infinite World?'
Caleb's calm mind raced. Looking at this item, he remembered using the SL (Save/Load) method to catch legendary Pokémon in the Pokémon games when he was a child.
So the question was, could SL be used in the Extreme Realm? Save before the challenge... If the item dropped after the battle wasn't what you wanted, is it possible to rewind to the state before the save and attempt the challenge again?
Instances already completed in the Extreme Realm couldn't be challenged a second time.
The Celebi and Legendary Birds Instances Caleb had previously challenged had now turned black, indicating they were inaccessible.
If it were possible, wouldn't that mean he could reset infinitely until he got the reward he wanted? Like the rarest item of all; a Dark Lugia Pokémon Egg...
