"Mew~ Mew~!"
"..."
Fang Yuan looked at Dream revealing a face of disbelief and was speechless himself.
Everything he'd said was the truth, the only discrepancy being that he might not be so ordinary.
Cough... As a top-tier Researcher and King Trainer, even modesty couldn't conceal it from Dream's insight, right?
He really was outstanding...
"Mew~~~!" Dream had an expression that suggested 'confess more for leniency and resist for severity', urging Fang Yuan to honestly disclose the origin of his Aura power. In Dream's eyes, the biggest mystery surrounding Fang Yuan was the usage of Aura.
"Are you talking about this?" Fang Yuan said, startled, then extended his hand and released a blue Power of the Heart.
"Mew~~!" Dream nodded.
Fang Yuan fell silent for a moment, realizing that relying on Aura really could attract Dream's attention.
Could it be that Dream had been observing him in secret all along?
Not appearing earlier or later... but waiting until they were running away to pull them back, wasn't that frightening?
For a moment, Fang Yuan didn't know what to say.
"Compared to Aura, Power of the Heart, and Superpower, calling it 'PY Power' might be more fitting," Fang Yuan thought to himself.
Initially, the Prince of the Sea thought Fang Yuan had Special Abilities, hence he associated Fang Yuan with another Legendary Pokémon.
Looking at it now, Dream thought the same—did most Legendary Pokémon like to identify others this way?
Had he really become part of the Legendary Pokémon PY chain?
"Mew Mew~~" Dream indicated for him to speak quickly.
"Bwoo..." "Rotom..." Nearby, Eevee and the Rotom smartphone knew that the Dream in front of them was not to be trificked with and waited obediently for Fang Yuan to tell his story, without any other ideas.
"This thing..."
Fang Yuan hesitated to speak, then, after collecting his thoughts, he told Dream about the origin of the Power of the Heart.
"Champion Mountain... Emuritto... playing a game of hide and seek... a reward..."
His Special Ability was merely the result of a chance encounter with Emuritto, who he had played a game with, leading to an accidental reward.
The current Power of the Heart was something he had developed further on his own.
That was the entire origin of the special Aura that Dream saw in Fang Yuan.
Under Fang Yuan's clear gaze, Dream, after hearing about the origin of the Aura power and recalling the keywords, was stunned.
"Mew?"
Dream was slightly taken aback, an accidental acquirement?
"Genuine and authentic."
Fang Yuan answered truthfully, to avoid any misunderstandings with Dream, since he really had no deep connection with Emuritto.
It was the Prince of the Sea that he got along with—a bond of one man and one Pokémon!
"Mew~~" Dream sighed.
Upon hearing that Fang Yuan's method of using Aura was accidentally acquired and not a choice and empowerment by Emuritto, Dream realized it had thought too much.
Indeed... Fang Yuan's Aura was simply too weak to be selected by that lineage.
The most powerful ability of that lineage should be the so-called Super Cronos Power, not Aura.
However, Dream did gain important intelligence—Emuritto had awakened!
"Mew~~~"
After confirming that Fang Yuan was not a suspicious character, Dream's gaze was filled with renewed vigor, and its attention shifted to other keywords.
Fang Yuan could actually gain Special Abilities from Emuritto simply by "playing games"!
Doesn't that mean... Fang Yuan and his group knew how to have fun?
It, Dream, had no other hobbies—it just loved to play!
Dream immediately focused on this point, considering that once the World Tree absorbed enough sunlight and nutrients to fully recover its state, it could find Fang Yuan for some fun.
.....................
"Mew Mew~~~"
After confirming multiple times that Fang Yuan's method of using Aura was an accident from Emuritto, Dream's doubts were all cleared up.
And Fang Yuan, now finally having met Dream, naturally couldn't just let Dream ask questions without asking some of his own.
Fang Yuan also had many questions for Dream.
The purpose behind Dream's challenges, as well as the true nature of the World Tree Mystical Realm's descent, he wanted to know it all.
"Dream..." After pondering for a moment, Fang Yuan started asking.
Mew?
Facing Fang Yuan's questions, Dream was taken aback, then shook its head.
"Mew~~~"
Won't say won't say won't say.
Can't speak can't speak can't speak.
"You can't say?"
Seeing Dream's troubled look, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought.
There was a problem.
Definitely a big issue.
"Mew..."
Dream became anxious, it couldn't say, telling Fang Yuan would be of no benefit to him, as Fang Yuan was simply too weak.
"Alright then."
Fang Yuan also realized Dream's reluctance, so he didn't press further.
This matter was triviak, and moreover, Fang Yuan's fundamental goal wasn't this!
Fang Yuan said, "Never mind that, oh Dream... by the way, have you ever... lost any eyelashes or something?"
Dream: ???
"Bwoo!" Eevee and Fang Yuan were in perfect sync. Eevee knew that it was probably its time to step in.
It was smart, and with its special connection to this Pokémon, it had already guessed that the Destruction Gene might be related to Dream.
It had already communicated this special feeling to Fang Yuan, so now it was time to see Dream's reaction.
Eevee was utterly bewildered—could it be that the owner of the fossil was this very Pokémon before it?
Fang Yuan changed the subject, and, of course, Dream was relieved, but Fang Yuan's next question put Dream into contemplation.
It had already sensed something was off about Eevee.
"Mew~~"
This time, after a close observation, Dream felt a sense of kinship from Eevee, as well as a very faint Homologous power, confirming that this Eevee was definitely extraordinary.
Dream had the genes of all Pokémon and could learn almost all Moves, so many believed it to be the progenitor of Pokémon. Although that's a bit of an exaggeration, most Ordinary Pokémon were indeed related to Mew.
