**Chapter 253: Bai Ye's Black Hole**
It really succeeded!
Looking at the Mega Gardevoir floating in the air, Bai Feng's face was filled with ecstasy!
Bai Ye suddenly vanished from her Original spot, abruptly appearing beside Mewtwo, her entire body radiating a seven-colored radiance as she charged towards Mewtwo.
Dazzling Gleam!
Although Mewtwo was surprised by Bai Ye's transformation, its reaction speed was extremely fast. Its entire body erupted with intense purple radiance, colliding with Bai Ye at an incredibly high speed.
The Move it used was Mewtwo's Signature Move, Psystrike.
The special thing about this Move is that although it is a special category Move, when calculating damage, it uses the opponent's Defense instead of their Special Defense.
Bai Ye's Special Defense was already much stronger than her Defense, and she had the boost from Fairy Aura, so dealing effective damage to her with a special Move was incredibly difficult.
Therefore, using Psystrike against Bai Ye was an excellent choice.
Boom!!!
The seven-colored radiance enveloping Bai Ye and the purple radiance enveloping Mewtwo collided, creating a violent explosion. The resulting shockwave shattered large swathes of clouds.
Mewtwo was knocked back a distance, but Bai Ye was sent flying directly backward, tumbling several times in the air before regaining her balance.
Don't think Bai Ye suffered a great loss; you have to consider who her opponent was and what Move was used!
Bai Feng was certain that Bai Ye's attack just now was comparable to an attack from a Legendary Pokémon.
When a normal Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution, it only utilizes a portion of the power from the Mega Stone, which is external power; but Bai Ye is different. That Mega Stone is already a part of her. Her Mega Evolution is a premature release of her own power.
She utilized the power of her bond with Bai Feng, temporarily lighting up all of her hidden energy circuits, allowing her to temporarily use all the power within the Mega Stone. Naturally, she possessed Legendary strength!
Mewtwo naturally detected the change in Bai Ye's strength. It looked at Bai Ye with surprise, then at Bai Feng. It knew that Bai Ye's transformation was all because of Bai Feng, and couldn't help but feel that Bai Feng was a truly remarkable person.
Suddenly, dark energy balls reappeared around Mewtwo and shot towards Bai Ye at high speed.
This time, Bai Ye was no longer flustered. Two bottomless purple vortexes appeared deep within her pupils, followed by a Black Hole that materialized beside her. All the incoming Shadow Balls were uncontrollably sucked into the Black Hole.
Although Bai Ye had awakened this ability before, she found it extremely difficult to use, consuming a terrifying amount of psychic power.
But after Mega Evolution, it was different. She could activate the Black Hole at any time.
When Mewtwo saw the Black Hole, its eyes suddenly lit up, and the sense of crisis it had felt earlier reappeared.
This instead piqued its interest in the Black Hole, and it couldn't help but test it, creating one Shadow Ball after another and throwing them into it. But the Black Hole was like an insatiable beast; no matter how many attacks Mewtwo threw in, it couldn't be filled.
Mewtwo instantly seemed to have found an interesting toy.
This was just a sparring session, not a competition where a winner had to be decided. Therefore, seeing that Mewtwo was interested in the Black Hole, Bai Ye didn't rush to counterattack, allowing Mewtwo to test the Black Hole's limits.
However, maintaining the Black Hole was extremely draining on psychic power. As time passed, Bai Ye began to show fatigue, and the Black Hole slowly started to shrink.
Bai Feng noticed this and quickly flew to Bai Ye's side, shouting to Mewtwo, "Alright, alright, you can explore more another day. That's enough for today."
Hearing this, Mewtwo had no choice but to stop its attack, and Bai Ye also withdrew the Black Hole.
The moment the Black Hole disappeared, Bai Ye exited her Mega Evolved form due to power exhaustion, floating weakly in the air.
Seeing this, Bai Feng had no choice but to pick her up and fly back to the aircraft.
"Mother, how do you feel?"
Bai Ye raised a smiling face: "Sar na~ Sar na~" I feel good!
Although her face showed fatigue, a hearty battle allowed her power to be released, and the awkward feeling in her body caused by the sudden increase in power was also greatly reduced.
Hearing this, Bai Feng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mewtwo, asking, "A long-awaited battle, any thoughts?"
"Good, Bai Ye's strength is very strong!" Mewtwo said concisely.
Bai Feng shook his head helplessly at this.
After returning to the aircraft, Venus resumed control of the ship and set sail, while Bai Feng performed rejuvenation on Bai Ye and Mewtwo in the Living Room.
After a session of rejuvenation, the two Pokémon were once again radiant.
In the following days, Bai Ye would actively seek out Mewtwo for sparring every day. After each sparring session, both Pokémon felt exhilarated, and Bai Ye gradually adapted to the new power she had gained in her body.
According to Bai Feng's estimation, when Bai Ye is not Mega Evolved, her strength is comparable to Xatu and Togekiss. After Mega Evolution, her strength is roughly on the same level as Senior Ninetales, slightly weaker than Senior Ninetales.
Mewtwo's interest in the Black Hole created by Bai Ye remained undiminished, and it even wanted to imitate Bai Ye and create a Black Hole itself.
But this relies on talent. Mewtwo tried and tried for several days but couldn't figure anything out.
Several days later, Bai Feng's aircraft arrived at Pallet Town and landed in his Rose Manor.
When the aircraft flew into the range of Pallet Town, Delia noticed it. She and Chansey were watering the Flower Bed in front of their Home at the time.
When she saw the aircraft flying towards Rose Manor, she immediately realized Bai Feng had arrived. She quickly took out a Poké Ball, released a Dodrio, mounted it, and galloped towards Rose Manor.
Tom the Noctowl, the Steward of Rose Manor, saw Bai Feng descend from the aircraft and immediately flapped his wings to greet him.
"Tom, long time no see!"
Bai Feng smiled and greeted Tom.
"Hoo hoo hoo~~" Tom also squinted his eyes, smiling and greeting Bai Feng.
Looking around the Manor, Bai Feng found that it had barely changed since he left. The Courtyard was clean and tidy, the Grassland was neatly pruned, and the Flower Bed was blooming beautifully. It was clear that Delia had put a lot of effort into it.
After exchanging pleasantries with Tom for a while, Bai Feng was about to go find Delia and Ash Ketchum when he saw Delia already galloping over on her Dodrio. She had the Manor's key, so she could enter and exit freely.
"Bai Feng!"
Delia started waving at Bai Feng from afar.
When she reached Bai Feng, she dismounted from the Dodrio skillfully, her movements incredibly practiced.
Because she usually rode the Dodrio back and forth between her Home and Rose Manor, Delia's riding skill had been honed. The Dodrio she rode had been given to her by Professor Oak.
"Sister-in-law!" Bai Feng called out.
"You came so fast! I thought I'd have to wait a few more days," Delia said.
"Big Brother's matter is important!" Bai Feng said. "I bought a private aircraft, so I came quite quickly."
Delia thought Bai Feng had specifically bought the aircraft for Red's sake, and said with guilt, "I've caused you trouble!"
Bai Feng waved his hand, saying, "Sister-in-law, you're being too polite. I stayed at your Home and ate and drank for free without being polite!"
Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Delia's face. "Yes, we're all family, I won't say any more polite words."
"Shall we go to Professor Oak's place first to understand the situation?" Bai Feng asked Delia.
"How about you rest first? We can go later. You just arrived in Pallet Town, you must be tired from the journey."
Although Delia was very worried about Red's situation, she had thought it through before Bai Feng arrived. So much time had passed, and rushing wouldn't help.
"No, I'm not tired." Bai Feng shook his head. "Let's go to Professor Oak's place first! It's better to resolve the matter sooner!"
Seeing Bai Feng's urgency, Delia had no choice but to agree. "Alright then, we'll go to Professor Oak's place first."
Leaving the Pokémon to play in Rose Manor, Bai Feng and Bai Ye went with Delia to Professor Oak's Laboratory.
Professor Oak was also very surprised by Bai Feng's sudden visit. Although he knew Bai Feng was coming, he didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
Knowing that Bai Feng was eager to understand Red's matter, Professor Oak didn't waste words and immediately began explaining the ruins where Red had disappeared to Bai Feng.
That ruins existed deep within Mt. Silver, adjacent to the Residence of the King of Mt. Silver, which is why it had gone undiscovered for so long.
The King of Mt. Silver is an extremely powerful Tyranitar, the guardian of Mt. Silver, and could be considered a part of the Pokémon League.
However, the League's people didn't have much contact with it and didn't know much about it, so naturally, they couldn't have known about the ancient ruins next to its Residence.
Later, a Pokémon Trainer accidentally discovered the ruins while catching Pokémon deep in Mt. Silver and reported it to the League.
The League's archaeologists were very interested in the ruins, but the ruins were guarded by the King of Mt. Silver, who wouldn't allow anyone to enter unless they could defeat it.
In desperation, the League contacted Professor Oak, who got in touch with Red, who had practically retired.
Red indeed lived up to expectations, successfully defeating the King of Mt. Silver and entering the ruins, never to return.
Initially, everyone just thought Red was held up by something during his exploration of the ruins and couldn't come out in time. It wasn't until several months later, when Red still hadn't emerged, that everyone realized something was wrong.
Because the King of Mt. Silver was guarding it, it was very difficult for others to go in and check the situation again. The League sent several Champion-level Pokémon Trainers, but none could defeat the King of Mt. Silver like Red had, including Blue!
Finding a clue in the ruins this time was thanks to the League paying a certain price to invite the Old Ancestor from the Dragon Master Family.
The Old Ancestor from the Dragon Master Family difficultly defeated the King of Mt. Silver, giving the League an opportunity to enter the ruins. This time, they found clues related to Red.
After hearing Professor Oak's account, Bai Feng asked, "Can I go to Mt. Silver to take a look?"
"You can go..." Professor Oak said with a troubled expression. "But if you want to enter the ruins, you'll still have to face the King of Mt. Silver..."
"Regardless, let's go take a look first. Whether I can get in is another matter!" Bai Feng said.
"Alright, I'll contact the people at Mt. Silver and let them know you can go anytime," Professor Oak said. "Give me your PokéNav, and I'll input the location of the ruins, so you can follow the PokéNav to find it."
"Okay." Bai Feng handed his PokéNav to Professor Oak.
Bai Feng then learned more about the situation at Mt. Silver from Professor Oak before leaving with Delia.
On the way back, Delia looked conflicted. Bai Feng noticed her expression and asked, "Sister-in-law, just say what's on your mind."
Delia hesitated before speaking, "Bai Feng, do you... have a method to defeat that King of Mt. Silver? If... if not, then... forget it! I'll figure something out myself!"
Bai Feng smiled and said to Delia, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about it. I won't do anything I'm not confident about. If I really can't handle it, I won't push myself.
Besides, didn't you hear Professor Oak say? Actually, that King of Mt. Silver is also part of the League. Even if I can't defeat it, I believe there won't be any danger!"
Hearing this, Delia finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good!"
Not long after they left Professor Oak's Laboratory, a yellow shadow suddenly darted onto Bai Feng. If it hadn't cried "Pika Pika," Bai Feng and Bai Ye might have already used Psychic to blast it away.
Seeing Pikachu rubbing against him in his arms, Bai Feng scratched its chin and said, "Pikachu, long time no see!"
"Pika~ Pika~" Bai Feng, long time no see, I missed you so much!
Pikachu said with charm.
"You're here, where's Ash Ketchum?" Bai Feng asked, confused.
"Pika~ Pika~"
Pikachu pointed to the Hillside not far away. Ash Ketchum was huffing and puffing as he ran towards them. It took him a while to reach Bai Feng and Delia with his short legs.
"Un... Uncle, you really came!" he said, panting.
Bai Feng said helplessly, "Aren't I standing right in front of you? Why are you running so fast? I wasn't going anywhere."
"Hehe..." Ash Ketchum scratched his head. "Pikachu ran too fast, I couldn't keep up."
"You child!" Delia wiped the sweat from Ash Ketchum's forehead, saying helplessly.
So the three of them chatted as they walked Home. Perhaps because he hadn't seen Bai Feng in a long time, Ash Ketchum talked a lot, pulling Bai Feng along.
In the evening, Delia made a delicious dinner for Bai Feng. Bai Feng ate heartily, but he didn't sleep at Delia's Home and instead went to his Rose Manor.
Before leaving, Bai Feng said to Delia and Ash Ketchum, "I'll pick you up first thing tomorrow morning!"
During dinner, Bai Feng told Delia about his plan to go to Mt. Silver first thing tomorrow morning. Delia suggested she wanted to go too, and Bai Feng agreed.
Mt. Silver is a League Protected Area, with a League base established there. As long as they didn't wander around, Delia would not be in danger if she went.
If Delia was going, Ash Ketchum naturally wanted to go too. He also really wanted to know about his Father's situation.
"Okay!" Delia nodded.
The night passed in a flash. The next morning, Bai Feng took the aircraft to Delia's doorstep, picked up the Mother and Son, and set off towards Mt. Silver.
