Naoki looked at Alcremie and instructed, "This time, focus on Indeedee's fingers. Observe its movements closely, then try to imitate them."
"Maa-maa!" Alcremie responded, indicating it understood!
"Very good, let's begin!" Naoki signaled.
Lil' Indeedee shook its finger once again.
The intense white light enveloped its hand once more, and suddenly, a powerful current surged out, instantly covering Lil' Indeedee's entire body.
For a moment, the night was illuminated by the intense electric light, as if it were daylight.
Amidst the surging current, Lil' Indeedee charged forward.
But without a target, it hit nothing.
Moments later, the electric light vanished, and Lil' Indeedee returned to its previous state.
But this time, a look of astonishment appeared on its face as it looked down incredulously at its own hands.
"Ai-yee?" What was that move just now? It felt amazing!
Lil' Indeedee looked at Naoki with a seeking gaze.
Naoki: "If I'm not mistaken, the move you used should be Bolt Strike."
"Ai-yee?"
Naoki was somewhat excited: "It's not ordinary! This is the exclusive move of the Legendary Beast known as the Dragon of Ideals, Zekrom. In short, you were very lucky!"
It turns out pumpkin cookies really are effective!
Naoki looked at Alcremie again and asked, "Did you see Indeedee's movements clearly?"
Alcremie nodded with bright eyes, "Maa-maa!"
Naoki: "Want to give it a try?"
Alcremie responded, first looking down at its own hands, then imitating Lil' Indeedee's movements, it gently started to shake.
But after shaking for quite a while, no white light indicating the successful activation of a move appeared.
Seeing this, Lil' Indeedee stepped forward and demonstrated for Alcremie once more.
This time, it didn't shake out the exclusive move of the Legendary Beast, only a Normal Swift.
"Ai-yee— Ai-yee." Lil' Indeedee started to share its insights on using Metronome.
Alcremie listened intently, and under Indeedee's teaching, slowly began to practice.
First time, failed.
Second time, failed.
Third time, failed.
Gradually, the sky had completely darkened.
Pokémon coming to the Pokémon Tavern for a drink also gradually arrived at the ranch.
They were drawn by Alcremie's practice, and for the moment, didn't go to drink, instead gathering around to watch the excitement.
Fortunately, Alcremie wasn't disturbed by these Pokémon; it was fully immersed in practicing Metronome.
Finally, on the fifty-seventh attempt, the two little hands covered in cream lit up with intense white light.
Following that, Alcremie's eyes, as beautiful as rubies, shone.
"Maa-maa!" It succeeded!
At this moment, the gaze of all humans and Pokémon present concentrated on its hands.
The strong white light eventually coalesced into a bright, radiant orb.
That orb seemed to house tremendously powerful energy, causing what seemed like an ordinary orb to tremble slightly, as if unable to contain it.
Witnessing this scene, Naoki's heart rose with anticipation.
What move would it be?
The next moment, the answer to this question emerged in his mind.
He saw that orb suddenly launched by Alcremie into the sky.
It burst like fireworks in the dim night sky.
The scattering points of light resembled meteors, igniting crimson tails as they fell rapidly.
Then— it hit the ground with a resounding crash.
Just like a meteor shower.
