Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 368 Soul Mist, Purifying Water

After successfully passing the test of the ghost of lights(?), Shi Qiu only walked about a dozen steps when he saw a vague purple figure on the platform in front of him.

Seeing them coming, Tapu Fin-Fin nodded slightly.

"It seems that this is the special training location."

The fog around showed no sign of weakening, but instead became stronger and stronger.

Feeling the rich fairy energy in the mist, Shi Qi knew without even thinking that this was the fairy-type move "Mist Field".

Um, "mist"...

This field-type move is so exaggerated that it is exactly the same as Kapu·Mingming.

Seeing that Aledo had already walked forward, Tapu Fin-Fin did not start. He just shook his head and gestured to Shi Qiu twice.

Shi Qiu pointed at himself: "Ah, do I need it too?"

Tapu Finfin: "(...Of course. As a trainer, you definitely need it.)"

After a pause, she continued.

"(The trial of this level is 'Soul Cleansing', the threshold is not high. Before I can master the use of natural energy, I will be the one to take the trial tour after Kapu Mingming.)"

One is a special training for the physical limit, the other is a special training for the mental limit.

“(So, after completing the special training on Americus Island, your other companions will also need to come here.)”

Aledo had already reached the threshold of using natural energy before the special training, which is why Tapu Butterfly and Tapu Moo were added.

Shi Qiu: “……” Ah, how could this be…

…………

…………

And the fact is, the torture and tempering of the spirit in this soul mist is indeed very hardcore.

When he saw his relatives and friends from his previous life, even though Shi Qiu was knowledgeable, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

How could the soul of the previous life come to the other side of this life? !

I vaguely remember that in the anime episode "In the Mist of Tapu Fin-Fin", the mist of Tapu Fin-Fin did allow Ash's Tonkinen and his friend Mao to see their deceased relatives, and even allowed Mao to meet the grateful elf Shaymin.

However, Shi Qiu did not think that she had the ability to summon souls from other worlds across time and space.

So, the scene in front of us is an illusion.

If I remember correctly, he was equipped with the power of waves, superpowers, the power of creation, and blah blah blah... With so many energies protecting his body, he didn't even notice anything unusual when his mind was attacked.

Shi Qiu: “……”

It doesn't feel any better.

…………

According to legend, Tapu Fin-Fin is a guardian deity that controls water. He lives in the depths of the fog and is feared by people. Although he is called a guardian deity, he sometimes brings terrible disasters to those who approach him casually.

She can manipulate water to attack, and the ocean currents are her source of energy. However, she hates to be hurt by fighting, so she tends to create thick fog to confuse her opponents and self-destruct.

However, it is said that because the move consumes a lot of energy, Tapu Fin-Fin sometimes looks listless after using the move.

But since the first time Shi Qiu saw her, Tapu Finfin has always had this expression.

It is said that Kapu-Fin-Fin can create special water that purifies the body and mind and removes impurities. However, to obtain this purified water, one must endure the mist produced by Kapu-Fin-Fin and gain its approval.

In order to obtain purified water, many people challenge the fog it produces. Among them, many challenge with bad intentions, and it is said that it is very tired of such people, so it no longer appears.

This water mist was truly extraordinary. Both Shi Qiu and Aledo could feel their souls being washed away in constant torture.

None of them were the type to dwell on the past, so they soon returned to normal from the souls that were either illusory or real.

After the first round of flushing, the sudden sense of clarity and relaxation in my heart can even be reflected in the improvement of my strength.

Then, the next round of tests came one after another.

Under the oppression of Tapu Fin-Fin's thick fog, the still immature Aledo, like Shi Qiu whose mental defense was ignored, had no ability to fight back and had always maintained its original regression posture. Since it could no longer communicate with nature, it was directly forced to return to its original form.

And this round is no longer a test of conscience.

Countless fairy winds carried blue vapor and covered Eledo's face.

This is an attack that penetrates deep into the soul.

It was okay on Shi Qiu's side, as Tapu Fin-Fin was not so cruel as to force a human to accept all of this, but Aledo did feel unprecedented pressure.

Unable to communicate with natural energy, the circulation circuit in the body is equivalent to non-existent.

Aledo barely relied on Moon Breathing Form 5 and Moon Soul Vortex to defend himself.

By constantly spinning itself, it generates a huge vortex of blade wind around itself, and at the same time generates countless crescent blades along the slashing trajectory, which barely deflects the fairy wind that attacks it.

However, the effect was not as ideal as expected. Just after some of the fairy winds were deflected, more fairy winds collided with each other and produced a huge explosion.

After barely withstanding this round of Fairy Wind, Aledo was seriously injured.

What's worse is that his mental strength fell into an unprecedented state of exhaustion.

The thick fog around had dissipated after the explosion.

Shi Qiu sat down on the side, breathing heavily, looking at the equally miserable Eledo with a complicated expression.

"This round of trials is a bit hardcore..."

"What does it take to qualify? It can't be that I have to defeat Tapu Fin-Fin, right?" Shi Qiu thought with a smile.

Even though he was not the main target of the assessment, Shi Qiu still felt the threat of death from those demonic winds just now.

At the same time, without giving them much time to react, Tapu Fin-Fin waved his hand.

The next round of water mist and fairy wind began to brew...
