One battle ended.
The results were remarkable.
The defeat of five Elite Level Pokémon also indicated that Natsuhiko and his four little ones' efforts during this period had paid off.
"Take a break," said Natsuhiko with a smile.
Seeing their results, the Pokémon were excited.
When each of them looked at each other, they all had smiles on their faces.
Cherrim created a "Grass Arena," and the Pokémon sat on it to rest and recover their strength. Yanmega and Tyrantrum sat at the edge of the grass, looking a bit uneasy.
They were truly frightened this time.
They originally thought they were no match and were waiting for Natsuhiko to release Snorlax to clean up the battlefield, but didn't expect the four little ones like Beedrill to give them a good "lesson."
They were completely convinced now.
As the Pokémon recovered, Natsuhiko took out a Pokeball to capture these Pokémon one by one.
Claydol's Ancient Pokeball was already broken, so it didn't prevent Natsuhiko from using a Pokeball to capture it.
The three Death God Coffins were quite strong, and Beedrill had knocked out a "Curse Talisman" from the Death God Plate, and the Death God Coffins were the most likely carriers of the "Curse Talisman."
After leaving the ruins, he could check if they were also carrying the "Curse Talisman."
When he got to the last Death God Plate, Natsuhiko didn't immediately capture it.
The Death God Plate evolved from the Crying Mask in its Galar Form. Currently, it's unclear if the Galar Region has discovered it, but there's no doubt that once the Death God Plate appears in public view, it will cause quite a stir.
The appearance of the Death God Plate looked even more bizarre than the Death God Coffin. Its chaotic spirit body lines and the dark red lines on the stone slab, staring at them for a long time, give a feeling of bewilderment.
Natsuhiko squatted next to the Death God Plate, looking a bit hesitant.
He remembered that the Death God Plate had some special abilities that the Death God Coffin did not possess.
The eerie lines drawn on the stone slabs that are part of it could show terrifying scenes and memories to anyone who touched them.
Natsuhiko was very curious about these ruins.
It looked like a place where ancient people studied Pokémon.
If he touched the Death God Plate, he might see some memory images about this research site from ancient times.
He could get some information from it, deciphering what this place was exactly, and what the deconstructed Pokémon was.
But he was also worried that the memories he saw after touching the Death God Plate might not only lack information about this place but might also affect his mind due to their terrifying nature.
Ultimately.
After hesitating for a moment, Natsuhiko took a deep breath, activated his superpower, and slowly reached his hand toward the stone slab of the Death God Plate.
He was at least a Superpower User, not just an ordinary person.
As his hand touched the icy, chilling stone slab of the Death God Plate, the scene before his eyes changed.
Like slides, they flashed by one after another.
And each scene was very terrifying and bloody, further intensified by the unique ability and alteration of the Death God Plate, escalating the level of horror several degrees.
"Yongji!"
Sitting on the grass and chatting happily with Beedrill and the others, Yujira suddenly stood up.
Its gaze swept across the entire ruins, finally settling on Natsuhiko.
It could feel clearly that Natsuhiko's spirit was fluctuating intensely, and his superpower was strenuously resisting something.
Obviously.
Natsuhiko's current state was quite abnormal.
The other Pokémon also sensed something was wrong with Natsuhiko.
Encased in Yujira's telekinetic powers, they all appeared beside Natsuhiko.
"Cha-ko-yii."
Togetic, a bit nervous, wanted to pat Natsuhiko.
But before it could touch Natsuhiko, it was stopped by Yujira.
"Cha-ko-yii?"
Togetic looked at Yujira in confusion.
Yujira just slowly shook its head.
After getting closer to Natsuhiko, it understood Natsuhiko's situation even more clearly, and an unusual feeling rose within its heart.
Its expression also became a bit strange.
After fully confirming Natsuhiko's situation, under the somewhat anxious gaze of the Pokémon, it helplessly offered an explanation.
"Yongji."
Upon hearing Yujira say that Natsuhiko was fine, the Pokémon collectively let out a sigh of relief.
But they didn't quite understand the content conveyed by Yujira.
What does it mean... found a method?
Out of concern, the Pokémon simply stayed by Natsuhiko's side to rest, and Cherrim helpfully summoned the Grass Arena again for everyone to relax.
No one knew how much time passed.
With tightly furrowed brows, Natsuhiko suddenly opened his eyes, the blue psychic power flickering in his pupils, sweat beading on his forehead, his face a mix of light and shadow.
After pondering absentmindedly for a long time, Natsuhiko finally felt the concerned gazes of the Pokémon.
He managed a smile, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
Suddenly, he realized that his inner psychic power had surprisingly made significant progress, both in quantity and control.
Looking at the Death God Plate with a face full of surprise.
From start to finish, he had just browsed through the scenes and memories engraved on the stone slab of the Death God Plate, many of which were unrelated to this place, purely created for terror's sake. However, sporadic scenes did relate to these ruins.
And indeed, Natsuhiko deduced some information from these scenes.
Yet the feeling earlier was really unpleasant; if it weren't for his psychic ability stabilizing his mood and resisting the Ghost Energy's erosion, he probably wouldn't be able to recover in months after watching it all.
For someone with slightly weaker willpower, forcing themselves to watch these scenes might leave lifelong trauma, the kind that can't be erased.
But what he hadn't expected was.
After watching these scenes, his superpower actually improved.
This was the first time he clearly felt an improvement in his superpower; previously, it had only been a tiny, almost imperceptible change, with most progression in controlling his superpower.
But just now, simply by viewing the Death God Plate's memories, his superpower had achieved a growth greater than all previous times combined, a significant improvement.
Looking toward Yujira.
Yujira nodded affirmatively at him.
There was an enhancement.
It was also surprised by Natsuhiko's superpower advancement.
Had it not known that Natsuhiko was human, it might have thought he was a Psychic Type Pokémon.
Gaining Yujira's confirmation, Natsuhiko fell into contemplation.
'Viewing terrifying images can raise superpower? No, it can't be that simple, otherwise the Superpower Users would have already become invincible and dominated the world. Could it be due to the Ghost Energy erosion? There's a possibility, but that shouldn't be the key; otherwise, there would still be many ways to exploit...'
Gradually.
As his thoughts untangled, Natsuhiko came to a realization.
It was willpower!
His psychic power awakening was derived from Azelf, the God of Will, as told by Azelf, it said his willpower was strong enough to meet the standard for awakening superpowers.
And just now, browsing the terrifying scenes and memories of the Death God Plate was indeed a test of willpower!
'That means, because I awakened superpowers through willpower, I might be able to enhance my superpower by strengthening my willpower?'
Natsuhiko felt this hypothesis was most likely.
Instantly.
He looked at the Death God Plate with a different perspective.
The awful and grotesque appearance of the Death God Plate seemed to become endearing.
This is not a Death God Plate; it's practically an Experience Baby!
