As Ace approached the Tidal Song Hotel, he immediately saw the gigantic whirlwind mixed with leaves.
Looking at the scene before him, Ace was shocked.
"Can Leaf Storm form on this scale?"
With doubts in his mind, Aerodactyl brought Ace down near the Tidal Song Hotel.
Little Green was currently commanding her Blastoise and other Pokémon to resist the Leaf Storm as much as possible, preventing it from spreading further.
"Aerodactyl."
Ace called out to Aerodactyl, and Aerodactyl nodded, understanding Ace's intention.
With a flap of its wings, Aerodactyl soared into the sky, quickly reaching the very top of the Leaf Storm.
Looking at the raging Leaf Storm below, Aerodactyl violently flapped its wings, instantly forming an identical tornado from high in the sky.
However, compared to the Leaf Storm's rotational direction, Aerodactyl's tornado was clearly counter-rotating.
Accompanying Aerodactyl's charge, its tornado met the Leaf Storm—violence against violence.
The wind forces neutralized each other, and the original Leaf Storm gradually crumbled under Aerodactyl's assault.
As the outer Leaf Storm dissipated, Ace and the others could see the situation inside clearly.
On the already shattered ground, a Serperior held its tail high, with concentrated Grass-type energy gathering at the tail to form a Leaf Blade. The Serperior was glaring menacingly, pointing the Leaf Blade at a Pokémon hovering in mid-air.
In mid-air, a Kartana also raised both its arms, its Leaf Blade similarly condensed, but compared to the Serperior, clear injuries could be seen on Kartana's body.
Kartana, a Grass/Steel-type, was at a disadvantage against the purely Grass-type Serperior?
Ace glanced at the deep blue Serperior, guessing that the power of this Shiny Serperior was what made it so strong.
In a flash, Kartana moved, its arms crossed, launching a Psycho Cut slash toward the Serperior.
Serperior's body moved, its tail, concentrated with the Leaf Blade, whipped out like a lash. The Leaf Blade and Psycho Cut collided. Serperior retreated half a meter, while Kartana was directly sent flying, instantly leaving a long scar on its body.
"Hiss, the Attack power is so high."
Ace gasped, the Physical Attack of this Serperior was unbelievably high.
"Could it be the Contrary Ability?"
Ace pondered internally, but quickly dismissed the idea.
The Contrary Ability continuously boosts Special Attack by using Leaf Storm; it has nothing to do with Physical Attack, does it?
So where did this Serperior's extraordinarily high Physical Attack come from?
"I'll have a good look later."
Ace's interest was piqued. He threw a Premier Ball, and Ninetales, shrouded in high temperatures, lunged at Kartana.
The Grass/Steel-type Kartana was quadruply weak to Fire. Coupled with a Serperior that possessed an extremely exaggerated Attack power, Kartana didn't last long. It was hit by Ninetales' nine Flamethrowers and instantly fell to the ground, scorched black.
"It's over."
Little Green wiped the sweat from her forehead, walking up to the Serperior with a sense of helplessness.
Gazing at the arrogant Serperior, Little Green stroked its body and said to Ace, "Thank you, Ace. I just acquired this Serperior, and I didn't expect its strength to be so great that I'm having a hard time controlling it."
"It's nothing."
Ace waved his hand, closely examining the Shiny Serperior. The system quickly scanned the Serperior, and a data file appeared before Ace's eyes.
Pokémon: Serperior
Gender: Female
Level: 65
Ability: Overgrow
Shiny Ability: Energy Compression
Nature: Serious
Potential: Top-tier
Energy Compression: Can compress the energy within the body's energy organs, allowing the organs to store more energy. Both the quality and quantity of the energy far surpass that of regular moves.
Ace was suddenly enlightened.
In gaming terms, this Serperior's PP value directly exceeded the original number, and the power of the same move was approximately three times that of a regular one.
Therefore, even without the Contrary Ability, this Serperior's ability enhancement was terrifying.
Don't forget that Grass-type Pokémon generally know the move Growth, which increases both their Physical Attack and Special Attack stats with each use.
When this Shiny Serperior uses Growth once, it is roughly equivalent to a regular Pokémon using Growth three times. After a few turns, the Attack increase provided by Growth is extremely significant.
Moreover, because the Shiny Serperior possesses the Energy Compression Ability, its energy organs have also made its physical body incredibly tough, so the ceiling for increasing its strength via Growth is also much higher.
For regular Pokémon, using Growth six times is usually the physical limit, but this Serperior might be able to use it more than six times, possibly even higher.
Then, recalculating that one use is equivalent to three uses by others, it's equivalent to a direct increase of nearly ten times.
For regular Pokémon, this is an absolute obliteration!
Ace couldn't help but admit that after figuring out the details of this Serperior, his research desire was burning fiercely.
Ace felt that the concept of Energy Compression was not too difficult. As long as he had a suitable sample, arranging this effect for each of his own Pokémon shouldn't be a problem.
As soon as he thought of this, Ace felt an urge to immediately enhance the strength of his own Pokémon.
But Ace quickly calmed down.
The first issue was the lack of samples—he couldn't just dissect Little Green's Serperior.
Secondly, learning this kind of Energy Compression required accumulated time.
It couldn't be achieved overnight.
Just as Ace and the others finished dealing with Kartana, the Island Kahuna Olivia and members of the Aether Foundation arrived late.
Olivia glanced at Kartana, then looked at Ace and the others, nodding to them.
Afterward, the Aether Foundation members began to recover the half-disabled Kartana.
Ace didn't pay attention to any of this. After all, Ultra Beasts weren't the important thing. Ace needed to evolve Cosmog into Lunala as quickly as possible, and then use Lunala's power to enter the Ultra Wormhole.
Ace didn't pay attention to the Aether Foundation members, but the Aether Foundation members were particularly mindful of Ace's actions.
After ensuring that Ace wouldn't easily intervene, they quickly captured Kartana and then rapidly withdrew with it.
Olivia watched the Aether Foundation members leave, then walked up to Ace and Little Green, offering her sincere thanks, "Thank you for protecting this island."
"It's nothing, just doing what we can."
Little Green smiled slightly, recalling her Pokémon.
Ace, meanwhile, looked at Olivia and asked, "Olivia, I have something I'd like to ask you."
"What is it? Anything I know, I will surely tell you."
Olivia said seriously. She was certainly willing to help with whatever Ace was asking about.
"What I want to know is this..."
As Ace spoke, he took out the Moon Flute.
