After walking through a not-so-long passage, there was a huge change in the scene before them.
It felt like entering an entirely new world.
The moon was still in the sky, surrounded by woods, thin pink mist enveloped the area, keeping the visibility within a certain range.
"Is this the Alternate Space of Lake Verity? The place where Azelf usually lives?" Natsuhiko muttered to himself.
The Pokémon were also curiously looking around, sensing the changes in energy.
"Yongji."
Yujira slowly raised the spoon in its hand, a thick aura of Psychic Energy swirling around it.
It gently invoked it, releasing Psychic Power much stronger than usual.
"The Psychic Energy in this space is much denser compared to other attributes."
This result is undoubtedly very suitable for Psychic-type Pokémon to live in, which also means...
"There might be quite a few Psychic-type Pokémon in this space."
Psychic-type Pokémon, once they can utilize their abilities well, are quite tricky and difficult to deal with in the wild.
However, Natsuhiko believed that entering this space, his safety shouldn't be a concern.
Azelf isn't a vicious Pokémon. Its existence is to balance and stabilize the Pokémon Realm, definitely a righteous character, and wouldn't actively harm others or other Pokémon without grudges.
So, letting him into this space definitely wasn't to face any danger.
Or rather, it wasn't a life-threatening danger.
And precisely because of this, Natsuhiko stepped in without hesitation.
"Azelf said that once I got in, I'd know what to do, do..."
Natsuhiko's muttering hadn't finished when he suddenly felt a strange feeling rising in his heart, looking up in a certain direction.
There was a strong feeling in his heart, urging him to find something in that direction.
This feeling was strange, like something of his had fallen there, and he was eager to go and retrieve it.
"Is this... what I need to do?"
It couldn't be wrong.
The feeling was too strong.
"I know where to go, just maintain our usual formation and state, Yujira, keep an eye around, and notify me immediately if there's anything unusual." Natsuhiko instructed.
"Yongji."
The rest of the Pokémon nodded.
Then Natsuhiko, with the Pokémon, embarked on the path.
Beedrill led ahead of Natsuhiko to clear the way, Yujira followed behind him, its Super Sensing extending out vigilantly.
Honedge hid in the shadows, the blue eye on its head scanning around.
This space felt similar to the feeling within the space of Divine Departure Mountain, except that the space within Divine Departure Mountain was filled mostly with Ghost Type energy, whereas here it was filled with Psychic Type energy.
The overly dense Psychic Type energy made it feel quite uncomfortable.
Togetic was nestled in Natsuhiko's arms, waving its hands, bit by bit enhancing Beedrill, Yujira, and Honedge with states and buffs.
Noticing Natsuhiko's seriousness, Togetic also set aside its usual playful demeanor, becoming quite earnest.
This way, under the protection of the Pokémon, Natsuhiko entered the forest shrouded in pink mist.
As soon as they entered, a faint fragrance wafted by.
'This is a real world,' Natsuhiko thought to himself.
Not much different from a normal forest, dense branches and leaves blocked the overhead view, complex and thick roots made the path difficult to travel, and occasionally a thicket in the target direction posed the greatest challenge.
The only difference.
"It's just too quiet," Natsuhiko said.
Compared to a normal forest, although quiet, there would be some light rustling noises.
But here, there was none at all.
Just like this.
After walking for half an hour, nothing happened.
Not even the shadow of a Wild Pokémon.
But Natsuhiko could feel that he was getting closer and closer to where he was being summoned.
"Yongji."
Suddenly, Yujira softly called out, its spoon pointing horizontally, a figure leisurely walked out from the woods.
The figure was very tall, the first thing that appeared in sight was a strangely smiling face.
Then came the trunk-like body in tree color, following that was a top crown like leaves, and beneath it were five heads with different expressions, each head was grown with a face.
"Exeggutor."
After seeing it clearly, Natsuhiko softly called out the name of this Pokémon.
A Pokémon registered in the Kanto Region, with the dual attributes of Grass and Psychic.
Each head of Exeggutor has its independent thinking ability, making the Pokémon's mental waves exceptionally strong, which can control very strong Psychic powers.
At the same time, unlike other Pokémon, Exeggutor has another characteristic.
That is, the number of heads like coconuts on Exeggutor is not fixed, ranging from three to six, and just like the fruits of coconut trees, the heads will continuously grow, when one head gets too large, it will fall off its body and then recombine into an Exeggcute, the form before Exeggutor evolves.
In other words, Exeggcute and Exeggutor as Pokémon, not only can reproduce to birth new Pokémon, but they can also generate new Pokémon through a form of division.
"Yongji!" Yujira's expression turned serious, being a Psychic-type Pokémon as well, it could feel the considerable pressure this Exeggutor exerted on it.
Elite Level!
Natsuhiko also sensed it.
However, he wasn't too panicked.
Because the combination of Grass and Psychic attributes didn't give Exeggutor good resistance, having a total of seven weaknesses, and being four times restrained by Insect-type.
"Beedrill," Natsuhiko called out.
"Buzz!"
Beedrill lightly rubbed its Twin Needles, its scarlet compound eyes flashing with malevolence, its entire body brimming with a sharp aura, and amidst this aura, there was a faint hint of kingly disdain.
Sword Dance!
Natsuhiko glanced at Beedrill, it still couldn't sense the changes occurring, but Natsuhiko felt it, the Leader's Aura absorbed by it did not dissipate but subtly brought about changes.
"Yawash----" Exeggutor's middle head called out.
The other four heads also made sounds, unleashing the Psychic Power from its body without reservation, the highly concentrated Spiritual Power gathered in front of it.
Mental Shock!
It launched an attack without hesitation, targeting Beedrill.
Bzz——
Beedrill's wings hummed, leaving a trail completely drawn from golden arcs at its original position, its body shot out like an arrow, enveloped by air currents, faintly flickering with the glow of Psychic Energy, the continuous flapping of wings kept boosting its speed.
Boom!
The Cross Cut executed by its crossed Twin Needles directly faced Exeggutor's Mental Shock head-on, the Insect Energy instantly dissecting the Psychic Energy, after a brief halt, it rapidly shot again towards Exeggutor.
Seeing that Beedrill was still charging, Exeggutor did not panic, a giant fruit was thrown from its head.
"Beedrill, dodge it," Natsuhiko timely reminded.
This was Seed Bomb, recklessly colliding was more dangerous compared to directly hitting Mental Shock.
Upon hearing this, the swiftly moving Beedrill folded and unfolded its wings, its body weaving, precisely dodging the Seed Bomb's attack.
Boom!!
An explosion erupted behind it.
Yet Beedrill had already appeared in front of Exeggutor, Cross Cut ready to strike.
"Yongji!"
At this moment, Yujira called out again, new figures appearing behind Exeggutor.
Exeggutor, a gregarious Pokémon!
Natsuhiko's expression changed slightly, he quickly said, "Finish one off first! Beedrill, don't worry about the others."
Then he said to Togetic, "Divine Power!"
Understanding this, Togetic released an attack that was invisible and could hardly be traced from its body, entering Exeggutor's body.
Exeggutor, ready to counterattack Beedrill, hesitated, the Wither Additional Effect was triggered.
The Cross Cut successfully landed on it.
Boom!!
