Oh, I forgot about the part where you recite the Z-Move chant.
There's a chant for Mega Evolution, super cringeworthy, and Z-Moves have chants too, even more so.
Never mind, I'll think of it when I get back.
At that moment, Fang Yuan looked up at the Fossil Winged Dragon Uncle, hoping it wouldn't hold a grudge...
Super Fossil Pterosaur: ╰_╯
...............
After the experiment was complete, Fang Yuan left the secret location in disarray once again.
He gave a bunch of Energy Blocks to the Fossil Pterosaur, which fortunately made it let go of any hard feelings.
Still, the effect of the Energy Blocks was limited, it was mostly due to Dream's influence.
"With Sun Eevee's current level of mastery over light energy, it can convert Z power into Fire Attribute and Psychic Attribute Z-Moves. For other attributes, the technique is clearly not up to par. As for the Eevee partner, perhaps it's time to test whether it can use other attribute Z-Moves with the amplification of the Power of the Heart."
After returning, Fang Yuan thought deeply into the night, with only two months left, he needed to become skilled in using Z-Moves that could instantly suppress Top Level Fourth Phase Pokemon.
Although there's only one strike, that Supreme Psychic Destruction Wave from earlier was almost impossible to dodge. With this in mind, in the World Tournament, even if Di Anxi, mentioned by Sister Xie, participates, as long as he uses the right tactics, he would have a chance to defeat her!
Whether it's Mega Evolution or Z-Moves, they are the top training priorities for the next two months.
Lying in bed, Fang Yuan breathed out and remembered the issues that had bothered him in the secret location.
The chant for Z-Moves...
In the animation, Z-Move chants come in many varieties, and as far as purpose goes, Fang Yuan could probably guess—it's to stimulate the fighting spirit of both the trainer and the Pokemon through words.
Of them all, Xiaozhi was the laziest; no matter what Z-Move, Xiaozhi's chant was basically, "This is our full power!"
Xiaozhi's chant was obviously too careless... was the voice actor too expensive?
Compared to that...
"Battered by the light of Z Pure Crystal under the pale moon, seal this doomed world eternally! Face the onslaught, Gigantic Rockfall from Destructive Skies!" Fang Yuan slowly recited Galagio's overly dramatic chant and thought, no doubt, this guy was the king of cringe in the animation.
"The Tranquil Snow falling from the heavens, countless shining Ice Crystals, the Cold Ice Z that covers the land, join with my fervent soul, and let us soar to the skies once again! Raging Earth's Thousand Mile Ice... Nah, Lily Ai's chant is pretty cringeworthy too, no surprise they're siblings, huh."
Fang Yuan laughed thinking about the trainers in the animation who used Z power.
Even though he could use Mind Induction instead of commands, could language possibly enhance the Z power?
Just as Fang Yuan was about to steal a chant from another trainer, he suddenly realized, there were no Psychic Type Z-Moves shown in the animation—he had nothing to copy from.
There were a ton of exclusive Z-Moves, but not a single Psychic Z-Move had been shown...
"Too much loss of face," Fang Yuan helplessly mused.
Then, he brooded deeply.
If that was the case, he'd find one from another animation then.
The Supreme Psychic Destruction Wave, a Psychic Z-Move, is described in the Pokedex as manipulating the opponent with Z power to make them experience pain to the fullest.
So, then...
"Explode, reality! Shatter, spirit! Banish this world, Eevee, Supreme Psychic Destruction Wave!"
"Feel the pain, experience the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain... From now on, let the world suffer... Eevee, Shenra Tensei... Oops, Supreme Psychic Destruction Wave!"
Fang Yuan suddenly realized, the purpose of the Z-Move chants and movements wasn't to inspire fighting spirit at all; they were purely because Z-Moves took too long to activate, and trainers needed to distract the opponent with nonsensical talk or cringeworthy phrases and movements!
So that's it...!
That night, Fang Yuan suffered from insomnia under the disdainful gazes of both Eevee and his phone, Rotom.
