Honestly, if you disregard their appearance, they are indeed creatures that can use moves and skills, which overlaps with the definition of Pokémon... but it just feels so strange to say it like that...
That thing that looks like a sentient utility pole... it's called *Electric Pole Wood*, right? It really doesn't look like it's alive!
[The Paper Sword is pretty cool. Even though it's from another world, the design of that katana unexpectedly appeals to me!]
[You're not alone! Paper Sword is so cool, it looks like a flying sword!]
[That clown with the head exploding is the real hell, what kind of nonsense is that...]
Pheromosa are so beautiful... Am I missing something in my aesthetic sense?
[Replying to the comment above, you're not alone. The slender, elongated figure of the Pheromosa does indeed possess a strange and unsettling beauty...]
Uh... my cat is currently licking the picture of a pheromone on the screen like crazy...
[Where's the Devourer King? I think the Devourer King is kind of cute—don't pull me, I'm not crazy!]
Not only the comments section was buzzing, but the audience's reaction was equally intense.
But Lusamine had anticipated this reaction.
She waited for the shutter sound to subside slightly, then reached into a hidden compartment on the podium and took out a small ball.
The ball was about the same size as a regular Poké Ball, but its color was completely different.
The upper part of the sphere is a deep blue color, covered with a fine grid pattern like that of a circuit board.
"Ultimate Ball".
Lusamine held the ball to her chest so that every detail could be clearly captured by all the cameras.
"This is a special Poké Ball developed by the Aether Foundation. Its internal energy field has been specially tuned to match the life wavelength unique to Ultra Beasts."
"The success rate of catching Ultra Beasts with a regular Poké Ball is almost zero, but using an Ultra Ball can increase the success rate to a level similar to catching a regular Pokémon."
She gently placed the Ultra Ball on the podium, and the image on the screen behind her changed again.
This time, the screen displays a table that details the names, attribute classifications, and main move characteristics of all confirmed Ultra Beasts.
"Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to each of the currently confirmed Ultra Beasts."
She began to introduce them one by one.
From the Void Id, codenamed "Parasit," to the Electric Wood, and then to the enormous Gluttonous King.
Every time a different Ultra Beast image is shown, the live stream chat explodes with new excitement.
When it was Bang-Headed Clown's turn, Lusamine switched to a live-action video shot on the battlefield by Sniper Tree Owl.
In the scene, the Ultra Beast, whose head is constantly flashing like a colorful sphere, is accumulating some kind of energy. The flashing frequency of the sphere is getting faster and faster, and then it suddenly explodes.
The entire screen was engulfed by the light of the explosion.
The live chat exploded instantly.
Holy crap, this thing can self-destruct?!
[It wasn't a self-destruction; look, it floated up again after it exploded...it's a technique!]
[Bang-Head Clown: You didn't expect that, did you? I can explode, but I won't die!]
This is even more terrifying than Naughty Thunder, guys!
"6
'
"These are all the Ultra Beast types that have been confirmed so far."
As Lusamine finished speaking, she placed her hand on the podium again.
"Regarding the handling of these Ultra Beasts, after joint discussions between the Alola League and the Aether Foundation, the following decision has been made..."
Rosamina raised her head, her eyes fixed on the largest camera lens in front of her, as if she were looking directly at everyone watching the live broadcast.
"These Ultra Beasts will be open to all Trainers to attempt to capture."
After three seconds of absolute silence, the live chat exploded.
【？？？？？？？？？？】
[Did I hear that right? We can now capture and tame these things!]
Holy crap!
[Seriously? That's a monster from another world!]
Wait, let me sort this out. So, this means any trainer can come to Alola and throw a Poké Ball at that Teletubby?
[Theoretically yes...and with the Ultimate Ball, the success rate isn't low.]
[Oh my god, I'm smitten! What should I do? Actually, the electric beam wood is pretty cool after you look at it for a while!]
【Paper Sword, here I come! The katana design is so appealing!!】
Anyone want to team up with me to catch Pheromosa? I know it's an Ultra Beast, but those long legs...
Cough cough]
[Something's off about you up ahead (Magneto's sly smile.ipg)]
[The Gluttonous King is the real father, okay? With that huge size, just standing on the field terrifies the opponents!]
[Then you realize you can't afford to feed it at all. With such a big mouth, how much food does it eat in one meal? Probably ten Snorlax in one sitting?]
[Help! I'm already considering the cost of raising them... Am I going crazy...?]
So Alola is going to become a massive Ultra Beast battle royale?
Not only the live chat, but the audience was also in an uproar.
Lusamine waited quietly for them to calm down.
She knew how much of a shock this decision would cause, and how many people would question or even oppose it.
But she also knew that this was the best solution at the moment.
There are too many Ultra Beasts that have escaped from the Ultimate Hole.
No one knows the exact number.
The footage from the battlefield can only capture a portion of it; many Ultra Beasts had already scattered to the deep forests or uninhabited seas of Alola's various islands long before the battle ended.
The Aether Foundation's containment facilities simply cannot hold so many.
Not to mention that most of them have very bad tempers.
Even ignoring this factor, just providing them with food and water is an astronomical logistical problem.
No matter how powerful the Ether Foundation is, it is still just an organization.
It is impossible for it to simultaneously undertake the long-term breeding and containment of hundreds or even thousands of Ultra Beasts.
That's something even the entire Alola League couldn't achieve with all its might.
Let's just open them up.
In fact, it was Xia Chi who proposed this method.
After the battle was completely over, Lusamine told Natsumi that the Aether Foundation might not be able to contain such a large number of Ultra Beasts.
Then he came up with this idea.
Since we can't manage it all anyway, we might as well let the capable trainers give it a try.
Just like those paradoxical Pokémon in the Padilla region's Sector Zero, as long as you can make them willingly accept you, there's no problem.
Lusamine took a deep breath, pulling her consciousness back from her memories.
She continued, "We will set up dedicated Ultra Ball supply stations and safety training centers on each island. Any trainer who intends to try to catch an Ultra Beast will need to undergo safety training to understand the basic habits, combat characteristics, and emergency response measures of the target Ultra Beast."
"We will not let trainers face these creatures from another world unprepared."
She paused, then continued, "Of course, we won't let trainers do this empty-handed. Every trainer who attempts to capture an Ultra Beast will receive a certain number of Ultra Balls for free. If you succeed..."
Lusamine smiled slightly and said, "Then that Ultra Beast is your partner."
The sound of camera shutters in the press conference room reached its peak after she finished speaking.
The flashlight illuminated the small white room as if it were daytime.
Rosamina didn't say anything more. She bowed slightly to the audience, then turned and walked off the stage.
The press conference did not address Z-Crystals or Z-Moves.
In fact, this is quite reasonable.
Because apart from Natsumi, who was in a coma, everyone else, including Daigo, had no idea what these crystals collected from Necrozma's remains were.
The first thing Daigo did after returning to Melemele Island was to take out the few crystal fragments he had secretly kept and scan them one by one using a portable energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyzer.
The data on the screen made the Hoenn champion, who was used to seeing all kinds of rare minerals, raise his eyebrows.
The data is astonishing.
The energy density inside those prismatic crystals far exceeded that of any natural mineral he knew.
Attribute energy orbs, evolution stones... these stones, which also contain special energy, have an energy density that is more than an order of magnitude lower than that of these crystals.
Perhaps only super stones and crystal beads, which serve special purposes, can rival them.
However, knowing that it contains enormous energy is one thing, but how to use it is quite another.
Researching Z-Moves will take time.
Fortunately, the triggering mechanism of Z-Moves is not complicated.
Unlike Mega Evolution, which requires a high degree of bond and understanding between the trainer and the Pokémon, or Dynamax, which relies on the unique particle field of the Galar region.
The essence of Z-Moves is the energy resonance between Z-Gemstones and the corresponding attribute gemstones embedded in Z-Bracelets.
Through the research of the vast Aether Foundation, the process progressed from identifying the properties of these crystals, to discovering a kind of untapped energy channel between them and Pokémon, and finally finding a way to activate it.
Although the process will encounter many difficulties, we should be able to achieve a breakthrough in a relatively short period of time.
It's not impossible that Z-Move might be unveiled at the upcoming Masters tournament.
Of course, all of this is temporarily irrelevant to Xia Chi.
He didn't wake up until eight hours after the world-shaking press conference ended.
Nearly twelve hours had passed since he fell into a deep sleep.
It was early morning of the second day.
The morning light in Alora seeped in through the gaps in the half-open blinds, casting a row of fine golden stripes in the room.
Xia Chi opened her eyes.
He was still feeling extremely tired, and it took him several seconds to refocus his blurry vision.
Sensation gradually returned to various parts of the body.
He instinctively turned his head to look.
A person was sitting by the bed.
No, saying "person" is not accurate, because the one sitting is none other than the Crowned Queen.
Xia Chi was slightly taken aback. "Why is it you?"
The Crowned Queen glanced at him.
"What? Should I leave? I shouldn't be here. Should I go?"
It made a move to stand up from the chair, leaning slightly forward.
That's not what I meant.
Xia Chi quickly sat up, and her abdominal muscles protested with a soreness the moment she exerted force.
The dual exhaustion of mind and body was like an invisible wall. He had just sat up about 70-80 percent when the muscles in his back spasmed, and he collapsed back onto the bed.
Yesterday's battle left not only the Pokémon physically and mentally exhausted, but also the trainer.
Especially the final wave of Ultra Beast attacks.
Dozens, nearly a hundred, ultimate monsters charged from all directions simultaneously; the overwhelming sense of oppression still lingers in his mind.
Maintaining his superpowers and aura power nearly exhausted all his mental energy.
Seeing Xia Chi in such a sorry state, King Lei Guan laughed with schadenfreude.
"Hmph, this is what happens when you offend me."
Summer Pond:
.
'
He looked at the smug face of the Queen of the Rathalos and his lips twitched.
never mind...
He silently rolled his eyes in his mind.
Considering its miraculous appearance yesterday, I won't bother with this guy.
After all, if it weren't for the Queen of the Rathalos descending from the sky on her Spirit Horse and carving a path through the encirclement of those ultimate beasts, he might have really had to play his trump cards to save his life.
Xia Chi took a deep breath, shifting her attention away from the irritating face of the Queen of the Brilliant Crown and focusing on adapting to her body, which seemed to have been disassembled and reassembled.
The good news is that there were no fractures or dislocations; the body was simply hollowed out.
He leaned against the headboard, tucked the pillow behind his back to a relatively comfortable angle, and then let out a long breath.
Before he could even finish exhaling, his stomach rumbled.
The sound was so loud that even the Lady Crown, who was sitting in a chair, could hear it clearly.
Its emerald green eyes blinked, its gaze moving from Xia Chi's face down to his abdomen, then slowly back to his face, its expression revealing an undisguised mockery.
Xia Chi wasn't embarrassed at all.
He met the Crowned King's gaze and said rather rudely, "I'm hungry, get me something to eat."
King Lei Guan glanced at Xia Chi sideways.
"All I know how to cook is instant noodles. Do you want some?"
Xia Chi said disdainfully, "I've never even eaten instant noodles in Galar, what do you think?"
Although Galar is known as a culinary desert, there are still some decent restaurants.
Only someone like Lei Guan Wang, who just came from a remote mountain village, would love to eat instant noodles.
"Latias..."
Xia Chi subconsciously wanted to call her family's head chef.
But as soon as he spoke, he remembered that she had also fought with all her might in the battle of the gods yesterday.
Milton's Lightning Rush was one of the main damage dealers, while Latias served as a support and assistant, flying continuously for several hours over the sea that was being boiled by the high temperature.
She guessed that he probably wasn't in much better shape than she was, and was probably fast asleep in his Poké Ball, which was even getting slightly warm.
Let's not bother them.
Xia Chi's gaze swept around the room before finally settling on the Queen of the Lace Crown.
He started seriously debating whether he should just make do with the instant noodles this guy cooked.
He opened his mouth, about to compromise, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
