Ten days.
This time, the adaptation took quite long, a total of ten days.
But it still hasn't reached the ideal state.
There's no helping it.
Because in Natsuhiko's plan, the ideal state would probably only be achieved when the Pokémon reach the Elite Trainer Level, or when Monferno and Latios reach Elite Candidate Level.
He doesn't have that much time to stay here.
After all, the Meteor People's original intent was to have him remind Rayquaza that Groudon and Kyogre might be about to awaken.
To prepare it and minimize the potential loss.
These ten days.
Were mainly for Togekiss to adapt to the state and techniques of Fairy-type Pokémon.
In the Pokémon Realm where Fairy Energy is scarce, Togekiss doesn't have enough Fairy Energy to continuously practice techniques and gain combat experience, so a considerable amount of time was spent improving proficiency in Fairy-type techniques.
To deal with Hydreigon, Togekiss's Fairy-type techniques are the most crucial part and cannot be overlooked.
Also, refining the tactics of two teams and two systems.
At the same time, instilling the most basic tactical concepts in the newly captured Pokémon.
But it's clearly even more difficult than Natsuhiko imagined for Pokémon with their own mature combat styles and rhythms to accept this process.
In the end, only basic coordination between them was achieved.
Returning to the Rock Area once again.
Natsuhiko, along with a group of Pokémon, and....
"Natsuhiko, are we really going to trouble the nasty... Hydreigon?"
Ono's cheeks were flushed, with an indescribable excitement.
The Kommo-o standing beside her looked the same.
Only those like them who live here, both people and Pokémon, truly understand what Hydreigon's presence represents.
It's a mountain pressing down on them.
In Hydreigon's eyes, they are just "food" to be taken at will.
"Almost, even if we can't deal with Hydreigon this time, we must at least seize the Seven-Colored Crystal Stone." Natsuhiko said calmly as he looked at the rugged Rock Area.
To be honest.
His certainty wasn't very high.
But to leave here, the Seven-Colored Crystal Stone on Hydreigon is an unavoidable part.
Actually.
According to Ono's description, in this space, Hydreigon isn't the only Pokémon carrying a Seven-Colored Crystal Stone.
She heard it from her late Aweng.
On the other side of the Celestial Pillar, there are other Pokémon holding the Seven-Colored Crystal Stones.
There's a yellowish, somewhat fatty being, with the gentlest temperament.
And a Pokémon whose wings spread like a blood-red crescent, equally fierce and brutal.
There are probably more than just these three.
But the ones Ono's Aweng had seen were only three.
Rayquaza's Alternate Space is too vast, the wild Pokémon are all very strong, combined with the suppression of the strong convection, flying is impossible, relying on walking is dangerous and easy to get lost.
Thus, Ono's understanding is limited to one area.
For now, Natsuhiko has no intention of seeking trouble with Fatty and Salamence.
Without Ice-type Pokémon, seeking trouble with them is too risky.
Besides, they haven't provoked Natsuhiko or his Pokémon, so it's unnecessary.
The target is locked on Hydreigon.
"Do you know where its lair is?" Natsuhiko suddenly asked.
Hydreigon's territory is large, last time they just happened to encounter it patrolling the Rock Area.
"I know the general area, but it's quite a distance from here," Ono hesitated and said.
Rolling up obviously much longer sleeves and pant legs.
Natsuhiko never brings female clothes when going out, so Ono is wearing his spare clothes, which naturally seem a bit large.
"Let's go."
Natsuhiko summoned Steelix and leaped onto its head.
"Alright."
Ono took out a Pokeball, recalled Kommo-o, and then sat next to Natsuhiko's feet.
Natsuhiko glanced at smiling Ono and chuckled, "You're used to it?"
Ono rubbed her nose and laughed, "I'm quite used to it, but Awu doesn't like it much, says it's too small inside."
"This is just an Ordinary Pokeball; I'll get you a better one once we're out."
"Mm-mm!"
Ono's eyes carried a bit of hope.
She remembers clearly, in his last days, Aweng most wanted to leave here.
Unfortunately.
He never attempted to challenge Hydreigon.
Now.
She and Kommo-o were going to do what Aweng once wanted to do most.
The thought was a little too exciting to contain.
Steelix's speed in moving straight was not slow, and due to its massive size, it could completely disregard the impact of the terrain.
Plus, with its unabashed release of aura, while Natsuhiko didn't actively attract wild Pokémon, very few wild Pokémon were willing to provoke it, a powerful creature with high Defense Power and metallic lumps unsuitable as food.
So.
As the sky gradually dimmed, Natsuhiko and his group finally reached the area Ono described.
A Grand Canyon of unknown length.
Almost as soon as they approached, Natsuhiko confirmed it was the place where Hydreigon lived.
The number of wild Pokémon sharply diminished, the canyon sides were desolate, with occasional scattered bones spotted.
The entire area resembled a desert.
"It should be around here."
Natsuhiko looked around, "Just don't know where its lair is."
