Chapter 304: Battle Maniac

Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Battle Maniac

Julian raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Steelium Z and Psychium Z in his hand.

It seemed their performance just now had greatly satisfied Tapu Koko, that generous big spender.

He had specifically rewarded Goodra and Gallade with one Z-Crystal each.

Julian asked curiously, "Cynthia, what’s the one in your hand?"

Cynthia handed it to Julian.

"You take a look. I don’t really understand these."

Julian smiled and said, "This is a Ground-type Z-Crystal. Looks like Garchomp’s Earth Power made Tapu Koko very satisfied."

Gladion waved his fist.

"Amazing! In the future, I want to challenge Tapu Koko like Julian and Cynthia too!"

"And gain the kahuna’s recognition!"

Lusamine smiled.

"Alright. Mummy supports you!"

As she stroked Gladion’s head, Lusamine began thinking about what kind of Pokémon she should arrange for Gladion later.

The group returned to find Mohn while still savouring the battle from earlier.

Hearing their movements, he turned his head and asked, "I saw so many fireworks exploding in the sky. Did you go off to set fireworks? Weren’t you supposed to be sparring with Tapu Koko?"

Julian smiled.

"I actually do know how to use moves as fireworks."

"Annihilape, Focus Blast. Gengar, Shadow Ball. Kommo-o, Aura Sphere. Goodra, Flash Cannon."

Watching them fire colourful spheres into the sky, Miraidon swayed his tail and spat a purple sphere upwards.

Julian praised him with a smile.

"Not bad, Miraidon. You actually learned how to turn Dragon Pulse into a spherical attack."

Miraidon was crying inside.

Who did Julian think was the first Pokémon to face spherical Flash Cannon?

Wasn’t it him, Miraidon?

After taking so many spherical Flash Cannons, Miraidon had unknowingly learned how to use a spherical Dragon Pulse.

Miraidon had not even tried to learn it actively. His body had simply moved on its own.

Before he knew it, he discovered that he had already been turned into a battle maniac.

Combusken still did not know any spherical moves, but he could spit Ember into the sky!

When the sparks exploded in the air, were they not basically fireworks?

As for Electabuzz, an electric sphere gathered between his hands.

After watching Tapu Koko use that electric sphere earlier, Electabuzz had gained some understanding.

Although his comprehension was not as ridiculous as Kommo-o’s, Tapu Koko’s electric sphere had been far too shocking.

Electabuzz remembered it clearly. Combined with the control he had trained so persistently, an Electro Ball formed in his hands and was fired into the sky.

It burst into golden sparks.

As for Sirfetch’d, powerful Fighting-type energy gathered around his leek sword.

It turned into a meteor and launched from the blade.

Dragging a dazzling tail of light behind it, it exploded into a brilliant shooting star in mid-air.

If Phil knew that the penetrating-force technique his Infernape had barely managed to learn was being used by Sirfetch’d to set off fireworks, who knew whether he would be so shocked his jaw would drop?

The Poison-type moves Toxicroak had mastered were obviously unsuitable for fireworks.

He could only follow the crowd and fire a Focus Blast into the sky.

At a time like this, the question was not whose move made the prettiest fireworks.

It was who would feel awkward for not firing anything.

Bagon kept clapping happily, clearly feeling no embarrassment at all.

Bewear was even more straightforward. She simply sat there quietly and watched everyone perform.

But Eevee was different!

With such a lively scene, how could he not take part?

Thankfully, Eevee had learned Shadow Ball from Gengar.

Eevee, you can do this!

Eevee took a deep breath and condensed a Shadow Ball, firing it into the sky.

Although the Shadow Ball was a little small and its colour was a little pale...

It was still a Shadow Ball!

Julian smiled.

Next stage, he needed to spend more effort on Eevee.

Just look how anxious the child had become.

The other Pokémon were training steadily according to plan.

Miraidon, Bewear, Combusken, Electabuzz, and Eevee would be the focus of Julian’s next stage of training.

Bewear’s strength was immense, but it was all wild style.

Her fighting style needed correcting.

Bewear had already formed her own set of techniques, so correcting them would be far more difficult.

But no matter how difficult it was, Julian still had to do it.

Conveniently, Miraidon and Bewear would make suitable opponents for each other.

Mohn blinked.

"So you really took Tapu Koko to watch a fireworks show? Isn’t Tapu Koko a battle maniac?"

Julian directly showed him the Steelium Z and Psychium Z, then smiled.

"That’s right. Tapu Koko thought the fireworks show was beautiful, so he gave me two Z-Crystals as gifts."

Mohn blinked.

"Is that so?"

Gladion could not help explaining.

After listening, he laughed loudly.

"You almost tricked me."

"But I actually missed such an exciting battle. What a pity."

Darach revealed a camera.

"Don’t worry. I recorded the entire battle."

Mohn smiled.

"That’s good. Once I finish studying the Ultra Beast, I’ll watch it properly."

Caitlin looked at Darach in shock.

"When did you film that?"

He smiled.

"You were simply too absorbed in watching the battle to notice, my lady."

Darach had recorded it precisely because he planned to use it to guide and motivate Caitlin.

Lusamine smiled.

"Darling, how is your research into this Ultra Beast going?"

Mohn’s expression immediately turned serious.

"I discovered that Celesteela has a large amount of high-energy gas accumulated inside her body. Once ignited, it could very likely cause a fire that burns down this entire bamboo forest."

"Fortunately, Celesteela still needs several years before the gas is fully accumulated. Before then, we have enough time to create a firebreak."

"Based on Celesteela’s body structure and her behaviour of storing high-energy gas, I suspect that Celesteela wants to return to the moon!"

"Steel and Flying type, with a body structure similar to a rocket. Especially her two arms — the propulsion generated by their internal structure is even more powerful than the rockets at the Unova Space Centre!"

Lusamine raised an eyebrow.

"Then what are you planning to call this Ultra Beast? You can’t keep calling her Princess Kaguya forever."

He rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then turned his head towards Julian.

"What do you think?"

Julian smiled and said, "Steel type, flies by spraying fire like a rocket, and has the legend of Princess Kaguya. How about calling her Celesteela?"

He nodded.

"Celesteela. That is indeed a good name!"

Cynthia held the Groundium Z and walked to Julian’s side.

"Julian, lend me your Z-Ring. I want to try this Groundium Z. I feel like it may help Garchomp master Headlong Rush."

Julian directly handed the Z-Ring to Cynthia.

"Tomorrow, we’ll go see Hala, the kahuna of Melemele Island."

"Since Tapu Koko gave us Z-Crystals, I think Hala will definitely be willing to give you a Z-Ring."

Unfortunately, the Dragonium Z had become Kommo-o’s exclusive Z-Crystal.

Tomorrow, he would go to Poni Island and ask old Sofu.

Was there a way to obtain another Dragonium Z?

Or could the exclusive Z-Crystal still be used to activate an ordinary Dragon-type Z-Move?
