It didn't take long before Tapu Bulu, somewhat reluctantly, summoned the other island protectors.
Fang Yuan was quite unapologetic...
He had come to them again to develop exclusive skills.
Moreover, he had already set the skill effects himself.
This...
Fang Yuan also asked them to develop exclusive Z-Moves, no problem.
However, Fang Yuan's requests were a bit too detailed.
Behind the detailed requests was an extremely complex exclusive skill.
Tapu Bulu temporarily had no clue and, relying on a single guardian deity, it would probably be very hard to develop successfully.
Therefore, it had no choice but to call its brothers and sisters to study it together.
"I hope it will be successful..."
Fang Yuan believed that the four great island guardians had a chance of developing this skill successfully.
Because it was a move similar to the Multicolored Ascend Gather Top.
Although the Tapus of this world had not yet developed Multicolored Ascend Gather Top, since it existed in the games and the anime, this indicated that they had the capacity to develop it.
The effect of Multicolored Ascend Gather Top is to allow the eight Pokemon into which Eevee can evolve to give their power to Eevee, greatly enhancing Eevee's attack, defense, special attack, special defense, speed, and other overall qualities. Theoretically, it's as if Eevee temporarily inheriting the species advantages of each evolution.
The exclusive skill Fang Yuan wanted the guardians to customize was very similar to this.
Only, the effect would be for Eevee's body to permanently inherit the species advantages of each evolution.
From the sound of it, Tapu Bulu found it outrageous.
How could it possibly sustainably inherit the evolutionary form's advantages as a normal state...
However, since the evolutionary form wasn't another individual but Eevee's own Substitute, this made Tapu Bulu think it might be feasible after all.
After all, both the original body and the Substitute belong to Eevee's own power.
Fang Yuan had indeed presented them with a difficult problem.
The four great island guardians murmured among themselves, finding it highly challenging.
Inheriting abilities wasn't hard to achieve, but permanent enhancement, achieving an effect similar to Fusion, that was very difficult, and they had to study it.
"Bwoo, Bwoo!!"
Because it concerned his own strength, Eevee was very generous, sending Victini straight to the Tapus.
"Bwoo!!"
Eevee nodded to the Tapus.
The idea was, with Lil Victini charging their energy, they needn't fear the consumption of power, and should dial it up!!
"Bimi!!"
Victini was also extremely serious about helping Eevee and made a victory sign with its little hand to cheer them on!
Eevee had promised it, after all. When the time came, they would split the winnings from Fang Yuan's big event fifty-fifty, allowing for more draws on the gatcha, delightful.
Thus, with Victini's charging, the four great island guardians threw themselves into research.
Obviously, Fang Yuan had no choice but to stay on the islands.
At least until the island guardians developed the exclusive skill, they weren't going anywhere.
However, what Fang Yuan didn't expect was that by evening of the same day, the four guardians had crafted the Z Pure Crystal and called Fang Yuan to give it a try.
"Kapu!!"
Tapu Koko handed over a brown Z Pure Crystal that was exclusive to Eevee, and started giving instructions.
This Z Pure Crystal was a one-use item containing a significant amount of their power, which could take Eevee's Super Relay move to the ultimate level.
The effect of the Super Relay move is to pass on the ability ranks and some status changes of one Pokemon to another.
After their enhancement, the Super Relay's effect was just as Fang Yuan described, allowing the Substitute's species advantages to be inherited by the original body.
As to whether it could be permanent or how long it would last, they were also unsure.
For now, it was just the initial test; further improvements were to come.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan had already set up a tent near the ruins, ready for the nightfall.
But when the four guardians suddenly arrived, he immediately decided not to rest so early after all.
Standing outside the tent, Fang Yuan talked to Eevee about the experiment.
"Bwoo." Eevee nodded.
Then let's try it quickly!!
As the sky gradually darkened, countless stars broke through the night and peered out, the night's tide making the air slightly moist.
Eevee looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and as shreds of gentle moonlight cascaded down upon it, its pupils brightly divided to form a Substitute.
Whether Eevee or its Substitute, the eyes beheld the same moon, their hearts also perfectly aligned.
```
However, since the Substitute contained Life Energy, it was not a problem to consider it as an individual entity at this moment.
Eevee, due to its extraordinary use of both Life and Mental Energy, had a Substitute that was already far superior to that of ordinary Pokemon, strikingly similar to the avatars of the Prince of the Sea and Dream.
Now, the very act of its main body creating a Substitute infused with life was akin to the King of Holy Pillar shaping the Trilogy Deity Pillar, approaching the realm of creating life.
"Bwoo."
After preparing, both Eevees called out simultaneously.
Fang Yuan looked towards the moon, also filled with anticipation. If it evolves now... it should take on that form, right?
With hope, Fang Yuan placed his hand on the head of Eevee's main body.
The only difference between the two Eevees now, perhaps, was that the Substitute had been stripped of the Dream gene by Eevee.
Without the Dream gene to solidify other genes, this Substitute still possessed Eevee's species good adaptability and evolutionary capabilities, easily evolving due to external factors that alter its genetic makeup.
"Evolve, Eevee."
Under Fang Yuan's guidance, the moonlight in the eyes of Eevee's Substitute grew increasingly bright.
In the sky, the moonlight passed through the Space Magnetic Field, showering Eevee's Substitute in dazzling golden light.
In the end, the golden light interwove with the white Evolution Light, creating a dual flash that enveloped this Eevee Substitute.
Fang Yuan and the Eevee's main body had their gaze drawn to the Substitute's magnificent radiance.
They, along with the Substitute, a total of three life forms, shared the same sensations due to their psychic connection.
Fang Yuan could distinctly feel that Eevee's Substitute was drawing strength from their bond, elevating the tier of its life.
And Eevee's main body, through the Substitute's experiences, received some mysterious enlightenment.
About Moonlight energy, about Life Energy.
At the moment when the Evolution Light was most brilliant, Fang Yuan and Eevee's main body were closest to the Substitute, while the Four Great Guardian Gods paid close attention from the perimeter, as the Substitute evolved in an unprecedented manner…
Victini, meanwhile, was urging Rotom next to it to take a few more pictures.
Looking sharp.
Before long, another hazy beam of moonlight descended.
And within the glow, a "gumi~~" sound was heard.
After the overlapping of the two lights, the Evolution Light finally dissipated.
At the same time, the evolved form of the Eevee Substitute appeared before Fang Yuan and the others.
Under the moonlight, Moon Eevee's Substitute was looking at Fang Yuan and its main body with bright red eyes, its large pupils exuding a hint of fierce cuteness.
On its black fur, bathed in moonlight, its golden patterns were faintly glowing, making it appear extraordinarily mysterious, beautiful, and enchanting.
From Moon Eevee, Fang Yuan and the others could also detect a scent akin to the night, seemingly luring other life forms closer.
Though the scent was enticing, it was actually a toxin secreted by Moon Eevee, combining temptation with danger.
"Moon Eevee, huh."
Fang Yuan pushed aside Eevee's main body and went to pinch Moon Eevee's ears and tail, fearless of the toxin, knowing it could not harm him.
So soft, and cool to the touch.
"Gumi~"
After being pinched, Moon Eevee's Substitute let out a gentle cry, and a "#" mark formed on its forehead.
With both the main body and the Substitute sharing the same soul, Fang Yuan's act of abandoning the main body to get close to Moon Eevee's Substitute was, what exactly?? This left Eevee speechless, not knowing how to react.
Tsk, that damn Fang Yuan.
Soon afterward.
After briefly experiencing the novelty of Moon Eevee, Fang Yuan did not forget about the task at hand.
He was now about to use the exclusive Z Pure Crystal to complete Moon Eevee's reversion, allowing Moon Eevee's Species Ability to return to Eevee's main body.
The Species Ability advantage of Sun Eevee lay in spiritual power, Predictive Ability, and reaction speed. Following its evolution, not only was Sun Eevee strong in this aspect, but Eevee in its normal state also indeed gained a relative Amplification,
Now, if Moon Eevee's Species Ability could also be reverted to the main body, what kind of change would that be?
If we're talking about Moon Eevee's Species Ability advantage... it should be exceptional Defensive Ability and energy resistance.
Relying on its outstanding Double Defense, Moon Eevee's tactics tend to involve plenty of tricky strategies, and Fang Yuan was very aware of this...
In any case, if Eevee could inherit Moon Eevee Substitute's Double Defense, then in the future, it might be possible to withstand Destruction Dead Light with its flesh alone!
Such is the charm of physical resilience.
"To withstand Destruction Dead Light with nothing but flesh…" Fang Yuan anticipated, his eyes gleaming as if they too held the moonlight.
Eevee: (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)
Bwoo??
Wait a second, that's not how inheriting abilities works!!
Why would increased Double Defense warrant withstanding moves head-on??!
Eevee felt internally conflicted, wondering what exactly was going on in Fang Yuan's mind all the time...
