The moment the pheromone landed, it knew it couldn't escape.
He turned around decisively, and his eyes fell upon the round, chubby bear-like creature, and Li Shuwen standing behind it.
The pheromone did not beg for mercy, nor did it show fear; instead, it resolutely launched its final charge.
The body glowed with a dazzling yellow light, a testament to the flywheel aircraft burning its full power to the extreme.
He kicks dozens of times per second, each kick carrying enough explosive force to shatter rocks, so fast that only afterimages remain in the air.
Wearing a bear costume, arms outstretched.
Those furry bear paws weaved through the gaps in the high-speed kicks.
Left block, right block, up block, down block.
The pheromone mantis's dozens of legs are as fast as lightning, while the bear's hands are even more accurate.
Every kick was blocked; not a single one slipped through.
Despite consuming so many feet, the bear didn't even retreat a single step.
He retracted his right fist to his waist, and a dense white light condensed on the knuckles.
True Qi Fist!
A punch was thrown, hitting Pheromone squarely in the chest.
The pheromone's eyes widened suddenly, and its body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground and sliding several meters before coming to a stop.
The Z-Crystals on her body scattered all over the ground, shimmering with various colors in the sunlight.
Li Shuwen stepped forward, squatted down, and picked up the scattered Z-pure crystals one by one, putting them into his pocket.
Wearing a bear costume, he walked over, hoisted the pheromone man onto his shoulder like a bag of flour, and followed Li Shuwen down the mountain.
Back at Hara’s house, Moen rubbed his hands together to greet him, his eyes filled with the fervor of a scientist.
"Shuwen, could you let me study this Ultimate Beast?"
Li Shuwen nodded. "Of course, no problem."
He glanced at the bear-wearing mannequin. "Bear-wearing mannequin, keep an eye on things. If the pheromone shows any signs of waking up, knock it unconscious with your full power."
The bear nodded, placed the pheromone on the ground, squatted down beside it, and stared intently at it.
"Eek~"
Li Shuwen handed the Z-Crystal to Hala. "Some of the Z-Crystals should have been absorbed by Pheromosa, and some of these should have been stolen from Pokémon in the forest."
Hala took the Z-Crystal and raised an eyebrow. "From Hau's description, this Ultra Beast should be a Fighting type, fast, and good at kicking techniques."
"If it were my Pokémon, it would be really difficult to handle."
Li Shuwen waved his hand. "It's probably because of the harsh environment of the Ultimate Space that Pheromosa's body is actually quite malnourished."
"Even after absorbing some Z-Crystals, its combat power hasn't reached its peak. With the strength of your Pokémon, Uncle Hala, as long as Pheromosa doesn't run away, taking it down shouldn't be difficult."
Hala smiled and nodded, offering no rebuttal.
Li Shuwen walked into the courtyard, where four children were sitting on the steps, looking dejected.
Gladio held Ibrahimovic, whose ears were drooping, while Hapu held the Mudstalker, resting his chin on its back.
Ha-wu leaned against the wall, while Mu-mu-xiao squatted on his head, both with their heads drooping in the same way.
Acerola held Doronmesia and leaned against the door frame.
Li Shuwen squatted down in front of the children.
"What's wrong? Getting discouraged after just one failure?"
Gladion looked up. "Brother Shuwen, are we too weak?"
Li Shuwen shook his head. "It's not that you're too weak, it's that the enemy is too strong. Besides, you've already been very brave to fight to the last moment to protect Z Pure Crystal."
Hapwu clenched his fist. "But we lost, we lost badly."
Li Shuwen looked at them, his voice calm. "Losing isn't scary; what's scary is not knowing why you lost."
"You should reflect on your shortcomings in the battle just now, and then train to become stronger."
"Gargio, what do you think is the problem between you and Ibrahimovic?"
Gladion thought for a moment. "Eevee and I don't have any particularly strong points. Attack, speed, and defense are all just average. We need to improve! We need to find our own unique strengths!"
Hapuu said, "The heavy mud-drawn horses' defense is not good enough, and their reaction speed is too slow. They need to be trained to improve."
"Otherwise, if you encounter an opponent who excels in speed, you simply won't be able to hit them."
Hau hugged Rowlet and lowered his head. "I used to think that training was good enough, but after meeting Pheromosa today, I realized that we are far behind."
Acerola sighed. "My training time with Doronmesia is too short; I can't really get involved. From today onwards, we're going to increase our training time!"
Doron Messia nodded in agreement. "Messi!"
Li Shuwen stood up and clapped his hands. "Very good. Now that you know where the problem lies, go and practice. Crying won't solve anything."
The four children wiped away their tears, clenched their fists, and ran to the open space to train.
Cynthia walked over, her gaze falling on the unconscious Pheromosa, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Is this thing really that fast?"
Li Shuwen nodded. "It's ridiculously fast, kicking dozens of times per second. If it weren't for me and Bewear, a regular Pokémon probably wouldn't have been able to stop it."
"Many Pokémon in the forest have fallen victim to Pheromosa's treachery."
Cynthia raised an eyebrow. "Then let my Lucario compete with it after Brother Moen finishes his research."
"I'll see if the Ultra Beasts are faster, or if my Lucario's Extreme Speed is faster."
Li Shuwen smiled. "Okay."
The pheromone mantis woke up several times during the night.
I had just opened my eyes and hadn't even had a chance to see my surroundings clearly when I felt a sharp pain in my head.
The bear's powerful strike landed precisely on its temple.
Everything went black, and I fainted again.
Li Shuwen laughed. "Wearing a bear costume, well done."
Wearing a bear costume, he retracted his fist and continued to squat beside him, staring intently with an expression as serious as if he were carrying out the most important task.
In the kitchen, Li Shuwen tied on an apron. Honey, milk, eggs, and flour were mixed in a bowl until the batter was smooth and fine.
Heat a pan, scoop a spoonful of batter into it, spread it into a round pancake, and cook over low heat.
The crust gradually turned golden brown, and the sweet aroma of honey and milk filled the air.
The fried sweet pancakes were fluffy and soft, and stacked up.
Li Shuwen came out carrying a plate, first distributing it to the four children, then handing the largest piece to the bear-themed child. "This is a reward for you."
Wearing a bear costume, she took the cookie, took a bite, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons. "Eek~"
Cynthia was cooking ice cream on another stove. Milk, egg yolks, and sugar were simmering over low heat, constantly stirred.
After the cooked ice cream mixture cooled, she had the ice sprite unleash a freezing wind.
A cold, icy blue wind blew by, and the ice cream liquid quickly solidified, turning into a smooth, creamy slush.
She scooped a large chunk of ice cream onto the cookie, took a bite, and squinted her eyes happily.
"It's delicious. Shuwen, you should try some too." She scooped out a spoonful and held it to Li Shuwen's lips.
Li Shuwen opened his mouth to catch it, the icy coolness of the ice cream and the soft warmth of the cookie blending together in his mouth. "It certainly has a unique flavor."
Acerola ran over, still holding Doronmesia in her arms.
"Oh, Cynthia is so cunning! She secretly ate ice cream without telling us!"
Cynthia smiled as she distributed the ice cream to the children, one bowl for each of them.
"Eat less, we'll be eating soon."
Moen stood up from the makeshift research table, took off his goggles, and his face was full of excitement.
"The data for Pheromosa has been basically entered. Based on the Ultra Aura of the several Ultra Beasts we've collected so far, we can start trying to develop corresponding Poké Balls."
"With a dedicated Ultra Ball, we no longer need to worry about how to deal with Ultra Beasts if they invade the Alola region."
The pheromone mantis woke up again.
This time, it didn't rush to open its eyes, but instead sensed its surroundings first.
My head doesn't hurt anymore.
It cautiously opened its eyes a crack and saw the bear next to it eating cookies, its face covered in honey.
It looked around again. Li Shuwen was sitting in a chair drinking tea, and the children were training in the yard.
It slowly got up.
The bear glanced at it but didn't make a move.
Pheromone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Shuwen walked over, holding three cookies in his hand, and handed them to Pheromone.
"Eat something to recover your strength. We have a Pokémon later, and we'd like to have a battle with you to test our speed and fighting skills."
The pheromone mantis didn't understand.
In Ultra Space, battles are for obtaining survival supplies and to stay alive. No Pokémon would waste their precious stamina on "sparring" for no reason.
But it won't refuse food.
It took the cookie and took a bite. The sweet aroma of honey exploded in its mouth, and the fluffy, soft crust melted in its mouth.
Its eyes were wide open, and even its chewing movements slowed down.
In the Ultimate Space, it rarely even gets to eat a fully ripe, sweet tree fruit, let alone such a delicacy.
It ate all three cookies clean, and even licked the honey off its hands.
Li Shuwen then took out two more fighting-attribute energy cubes from his pocket and handed them to the Pheromosa.
"This can quickly activate your body and restore your fighting ability."
The Pheromosa took the energy cube and put it in its mouth.
The heat flows through the body, the tired body recovers quickly, and the muscles are full of strength.
Although it doesn't have the same feeling of expanding physical strength as Z-Crystal, the fact that Li Shuwen could casually give it to this former enemy to eat is enough to show that this thing is not precious.
It should be a common food.
Pheromone looked at Li Shuwen, and her expression slowly changed.
Seeing the pheromone beetle standing there in a daze, Li Shuwen thought it hadn't eaten enough, so he took out two more from his pocket and handed them to it.
"If it's not effective enough, take two more."
The pheromone took the food and felt better than ever before.
Cynthia sends out Lucario.
Lucario stood in the open space, blue light flowing between his palms, his eyes calm and steady.
Pheromosa stood opposite, knees slightly bent, assuming a fighting stance.
Li Shuwen pointed to the open space beneath his feet. "Your battle area is this empty space without grass; you cannot go beyond it."
The pheromone looked around.
An open space that is about 100 meters long and 60 meters wide is not large for their speed.
It calculates the distance and angle in its mind.
The pheromone mantis moved first.
It started running, moving in an arc, circling around Lucario, getting faster and faster, leaving behind trails of white afterimages.
He wanted to attack from the side, from behind, or from any blind spot in Lucario's line of sight.
Lucario did not move.
His eyes were closed, and his waveguide power was fully activated.
Every change of direction and every acceleration of the pheromone was clearly perceived by it.
Lightning fast.
Lucario vanished from its spot and reappeared behind Pheromosa.
The pheromone's eyes narrowed sharply as it sensed the change in airflow behind it.
Without turning around, he kicked backward.
A blue bone club materialized in Lucario's hand.
The bone club collided with the kick, bang!
Pheromosa was knocked back. Lucario gave it no chance to catch its breath, swinging its bony club one after another at a speed that Pheromosa's eyes couldn't keep up with.
The pheromone desperately tried to block, using its feet, knees, arms, and even its head.
But Lucario's bone club always manages to slip through the gaps in his parries and strike where his defenses are weak.
After a few moves, the Pheromosa was forced to retreat repeatedly.
Cynthia shook her head. "This Pheromosa is a completely untrained fighter who relies solely on instinct; it hasn't undergone sufficient training."
"Although it's fast, it's not making full use of that speed. Only if it receives top-level leg technique instruction will it be qualified to compete with Lucario."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucario struck Pheromosa in the abdomen with his staff, sending her flying.
The pheromone mantis crashed to the ground, slid several meters, and fell into a coma.
Li Shuwen stepped forward and took out medicine to treat the pheromone mantis.
The cool medicine sprayed on the wound quickly relieved the pain and restored my strength.
Pheromone opened her eyes, looked at Li Shuwen, and was filled with shock.
In the ultimate space, if you get injured, you can only rely on yourself to endure it. If you can endure it, you live; if you can't, you die.
Not only is there plenty of food to eat whenever you want, but you even get this level of medicine to heal you after a sparring match? What kind of heavenly life is this?
Li Shuwen retrieved the healing medicine. "Let's go, we'll take you back to the Ultimate Space."
Pheromone waved her hands hastily, her voice urgent. "Pheromone~ Phero!"
Li Shuwen blinked. "What did you say? You want to stay and be my Pokémon?"
Pheromone nodded decisively. "Pheromone!"
The pheromone's eyes were resolute.
If you are willing to accept me as your trainer, I am willing to become your trainer.
Moen leaned closer. "Since she's willing to stay, why don't you take her in?"
"Although I can't leave the Alola region for the time being, I have enough money to let her stay at my house."
"I'll go back now and help you develop an Ultra Ball that can capture Pheromosa."
Li Shuwen then nodded. "Alright, then you can stay."
Li Shuwen, along with Cynthia and Caroline, set off for Akala Island to instruct Liz.
Pheromone wanted to go too, but Li Shuwen patted her head. "You've just arrived, so rest well first. Don't worry, you'll definitely have a chance to show your skills later."
What if the reckless Pheromone makes a move that makes Liz even less confident?
The pheromone obediently stayed behind, but Li Shuwen didn't forget to warn Hala to be wary of the pheromone playing tricks.
Hala gave Li Shuwen a look, reassuring him to go ahead.
However, the waveguide emitted by the Pheromosa proves that the Pheromosa does indeed yearn for the beautiful and peaceful life here.
Moreover, Li Shuwen left the bear-themed outfit at Hala's house to play and train with the children.
I'm not worried that the pheromones are feigning surrender.
If Pheromone dares to lie to him, Li Shuwen will show Pheromone what true fear is!
