Dragonite Elder picked up an ancient hourglass. After Qingwu confirmed the trial began, Dragonite Elder inverted the hourglass.
The silver-white sand, illuminated by the moonlight, shimmered faintly, each grain imbued with the texture of moonlight.
The moonlight on the crystalline hourglass diffused a beautiful, soft halo, gently rippling.
The Dragon-type Pokémon unrestrainedly released their immense Dragon's Might, causing many of the Dragon-type Pokémon observing on-site to seemingly be stunned, retreating a step one after another.
In their eyes, the position Qingwu occupied seemed to have become a vacuum.
The immense Dragon's Pressure seemed to have driven all the air away.
Qingwu bore the immense pressure of the Dragon-type Pokémon without changing his expression, secretly complaining in his heart.
"Is that all? It's far less oppressive than Groudon and Kyogre. I even had a little expectation."
Qingwu didn't notice a light green Delta symbol flickering on his forehead.
However, due to the moonlight, it wasn't very obvious.
One minute passed.
Lance had already been proven wrong. Looking at Qingwu's relaxed expression, Lance even wondered if he was faking it.
When the entire hourglass ran out, the sand grains stopped falling and lay quietly at the bottom of the hourglass, emitting a golden glow under the moonlight.
Qingwu yawned, as if waking from a dream. Although this action and expression caused no actual harm, it was extremely insulting.
Only the Dragon-type Elder's eyes were filled with praise. It hadn't expected that Qingwu could endure what it considered the most difficult trial.
"The next trial, the Trial of Wisdom, will be presided over by this old one," Dragonite Elder clapped its hands.
A Dragonite then flew over, carrying a Turtonator.
"This Turtonator, for some unknown reason, can no longer breathe fire, and its body is emaciated. Young friend Qingwu, please diagnose it."
Turtonator is a large, dragon-turtle-like Pokémon, with a tube-shaped nose and a flat head and shell, both hexagonal.
Turtonator's back is covered with spine-like explosive growths, and the star-shaped indentation on its chest is its weakness, so it always faces away from enemies during battle.
Turtonator can spray flames and poisonous gas from its nostrils.
Due to eating sulfur and other substances near volcanoes, a layer of explosive material with sulfur as its main component forms inside its shell.
If struck, it will scatter sparks from the spines on its shell, igniting and causing an explosion. Its droppings are also explosive, with various uses.
Turtonator mimics the shapes of rocks near volcanoes to hunt prey.
Once prey lands on its shell, Turtonator seizes the opportunity and uses its tail to strike and detonate its shell, causing an explosion.
Turtonator is a very dangerous Pokémon, with a volatile temper and easily prone to exploding when stimulated. It is recognized by the League as an extremely dangerous Pokémon.
Because of Turtonator's special nature, it is a Pokémon managed by the League and not allowed for trainers to capture.
Even trainers who unintentionally capture a Turtonator will be imprisoned by the League.
Turtonator will be directly released in a League-arranged location, and Pokémon with dampness abilities will be assigned to heavily monitor it.
Qingwu glanced at Turtonator's face and saw a bluish-purple color appear on it.
Qingwu was somewhat surprised; this was a symptom of Ice Poison.
How could a Fire-type Pokémon living in a volcanic region contract Ice Poison? This made Qingwu feel a mix of amusement and frustration.
Dragonite Elder noticed that Qingwu had discovered the cause, and its old face flushed red. There was no way to hide the embarrassment of a Fire-type Pokémon getting Ice Poison; it was quite a loss of face for Dragon-types.
"Truly worthy of being a top-tier Breeder," Dragonite Elder, having lived for so long and seen countless types of people, followed its own trainer on adventures.
It only returned to Dragon Island to inherit the position of Dragonite Elder after its trainer passed away.
"Young friend Qingwu, since you know the answer, why not speak it? After all, it's already a shameful matter," Dragonite Elder admitted frankly.
Qingwu merely stating the answer wasn't enough; he had to solve the Turtonator's severe illness to gain the approval of all the Dragon-type Pokémon.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Turtonator is addicted to Ice Herbs," Qingwu said, pointing to a burnt leaf on Turtonator's body.
"This is an Ice Herb leaf. Ice Herbs have a freezing taste and are also sweet."
"For Dragon-type Pokémon, it's like drinking an ice-cold beverage, but for Turtonator, it's a deadly poison."
"Turtonator is a Fire-type Pokémon. Appropriate consumption of Ice Herbs can alleviate its internal Fire Poison and help it maintain its sanity."
"However, if Turtonator consumes Ice Herbs long-term, it will become a chronic poison. Turtonator will feel like it's experiencing both ice and fire."
"This is a symptom of Ice Herb addiction. If I'm not mistaken, other Turtonator will also have these symptoms."
Qingwu Conan went online.
"And their conditions are no less severe than this Turtonator's; it's just that this Turtonator is the most severely affected."
Qingwu took out Spicy Berries from his backpack, piling them like a small mountain on the ground.
After juicing the Spicy Berries, Qingwu prepared Pokéblocks, adding Dragon Heart Fruit, which made him feel a pang of heartache.
After a while, Qingwu directly prepared a Pokéblock that sparkled like a ruby.
Qingwu named this the "Special Spicy Berry Pokéblock." Don't underestimate this small Pokéblock; ordinary people could not tolerate its spiciness.
Qingwu directly placed the Pokéblock into Turtonator's mouth, only to see Turtonator suddenly turn completely red, its entire body appearing to be on fire.
Blazing flames suddenly erupted from Turtonator's body.
"Everyone, step back! Turtonator is about to self-destruct!" Qingwu shouted loudly, immediately lying down himself. A booming sound followed.
An astonishing roar occurred at Turtonator's location, and then a crater about five meters deep appeared where it stood.
A large amount of frost surrounded the crater. Qingwu understood that Turtonator had expelled the Ice Poison from its body through the explosion.
Turtonator's entire body was aflame, and it regained its vitality. Qingwu had added berries that replenish stamina to the Pokéblock, allowing Turtonator to quickly recover its strength.
"This Turtonator has completely expelled the internal Ice Poison. It just needs to consistently consume one Spicy Berry every day."
"The remaining Turtonator will each receive one Pokéblock and one Spicy Berry," Qingwu said to Dragonite Elder 5.7.
"This young Breeder's talent is astonishing. He should be brought into the League to contribute to its development."
Lance watched Qingwu's display and thought to himself that he absolutely had to recruit Qingwu onto his 'pirate ship'.
Lance noticed his own Dragonite quietly eating a Pokéblock. These seemed to be gifts from Dragonite's parents to their daughter.
This greatly surprised Lance, as his Dragonite was notoriously difficult to please. It wouldn't eat anything too hot, too cold, or not delicious.
Lance had to beg and plead with top-tier Breeders in the League to get these Pokéblocks, yet Dragonite was very disdainful.
Lance almost knelt down to this 'grandma', yet Dragonite ate them so readily and with such relish.
Dragonite crammed its entire cheeks full.
