In the Lake of Purification, the powerful water pressure of the lake is related to spiritual power and superpower.
The various special effects are related to life energy.
One could say that the Cleansing Water is a type of special energy product, similar to Eevee's Sun Fire or the Armed Magnetic Monster's blue lightning.
Exclusive to the Legendary Pokémon Shui Jun—
Now, Fang Yuan and his team's exploration aimed to confirm whether Milotic could replicate the Cleansing Water.
If possible, Milotic would undergo a complete transformation.
After training in the Sea of Origin, Milotic gained a new understanding of the combined use of spiritual power, Water Series power, and life power.
However, due to the short training time back then, it couldn't transform this understanding into strength.
Upon returning to the Lake of Purification, Fang Yuan and his team quickly discovered that the Sea of Origin and the Lake of Purification could be considered in a hierarchical relationship.
Now, with Milotic exploring the Lake of Purification from a higher perspective, replicating the Cleansing Water was not impossible.
This exploration took one month.
"Did it succeed?" Fang Yuan asked expectantly.
In the lake, Milotic nodded.
............
One week later.
With Milotic's mastery of the Cleansing Water, Fang Yuan helped it to fully develop this new power.
At this time, Fang Yuan was preparing to leave Ice Plain City to head to Ghost City.
The opening of the Spirit World Mystery was imminent, and the date for the substitute selection for the World Championship national team was also approaching, so he needed to help Glutton evolve as soon as possible.
"With this, Eevee, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Glutton, Milotic, and Dragonite, all six main members, now possess master-level combat power," Fang Yuan looked up at the sky and heaved a deep sigh of relief.
The Master Domain was about to be conquered by him.
Milotic was now determined by Fang Yuan to have entered the Master Domain, due to the great gains it received from training in the Sea of Origin and the Lake of Purification.
Other Pokémon made more or less progress during this time as well, like Monferno's increased resistance to Water-based Spells.
In addition, the Iron Fist Trait was further developed.
Although there was progress, it paled in comparison to Milotic's.
The Awakened power, Water Series power, Life Power—these three powers were cultivated through the Sea of Origin and the Lake of Purification, allowing Milotic to master the Cleansing Water.
Using the Cleansing Water as a foundation, Fang Yuan helped Milotic develop three new abilities.
These three abilities are the foundation of Milotic's master-level combat power.
The Cleansing Water enhanced the overall power and effect of Milotic's Water-based Spells.

For instance, Water Gun, building upon its base at the Temple of the Sea, now has stronger pressure, faster speed, and much greater destructive power.
Similarly, Life Dew Moves and Water Ring, in addition to increased healing effects, can also clear abnormal statuses and have stronger restraining effects against Flame and toxins; even facing adversity against the Power of thunder and lightning, Milotic feels that with the Cleansing Water, it can still put up a fight.
Relying on "Cleansing Water" and "Superpower," the first breakthrough for Milotic was the development of the Hot Water Technique.
The form of the Hot Water Technique changed, erupting into high-temperature steam.
Even the surface of The Lake of Purification, when touched by the high-temperature steam, would instantly start to boil, as if the water exploded violently.
In terms of single-target destructive power, the lethality of this "high-temperature steam" surpasses that of Milotic's Water Tornado.
The second breakthrough was the further development of Milotic's Super Healing Physique.
In past battles, Milotic utilized Self-Regeneration, Water Ring, and Life Dew Moves to grant itself remarkable healing abilities, leveraging this technique to overcome stronger opponents many times.
Now, influenced by the Cleansing Water, this technique has been upgraded once more, benefiting not only from the improved effects of healing moves but also from Milotic's advancements in Superpower.
This technique, named "Creation Regeneration" by Fang Yuan, is centered around Awakened power·Superpower, Self-Regeneration, Water Ring, and Life Dew Moves.
When "Creation Regeneration" is activated, Cleansing Water flows throughout its body, and the moment Milotic incurs damage, the water begins to heal the injury rapidly and continuously at high speed, without affecting its attack rhythm. It's as if Milotic is cloaked in a layer of water armor with a life of its own; this consciousness is, in fact, a result of the interaction between Superpower and Life Energy.
Of course, there is a significant drawback: the healing is entirely automated and uncontrollable, consuming far more energy than Milotic would use when consciously healing itself. Even minor injuries that wouldn't affect much are treated.
For a Pokémon skilled in long-range combat with techniques like "high-temperature steam" and "Water Tornado," this can seem superfluous, especially if it's not engaging in intense close-quarters combat that would result in many injuries.
Fang Yuan, of course, is aware of this and thus "Creation Regeneration" must be used in conjunction with a third technique to achieve its full potential!
The third technique was named "Super Strength" by Fang Yuan. It was conceived specifically to complement "Creation Regeneration."
Under Fang Yuan's guidance, Milotic and Dragonite learned Dragon Tail Technique, as "Super Strength" is a quintessential close combat skill.
"Super Strength" requires precise control of energy, suitable for close combat moves but not for long-range ones. If energy leaves the body, the Pokémon's control over it weakens.
The essence of the Super Strength technique lies in concentrating energy far exceeding what's needed for a move in one part of the body, then unleashing it fully. This process demands supreme control; depending on how well the Pokémon manages the energy and the amount released, the force of the move can be doubled or multiplied several times. On the downside, due to the overwhelming magnitude of energy that exceeds the body's capacity, the body part used will suffer severe damage.
If Milotic were to use "Super Strength·Dragon Tail" or "Super Strength·Water flow tail," its tail would incur significant damage as a result.
However, if "Creation Regeneration" is paired with "Super Strength," Milotic can wield an unfettered and fearsome close combat capability. Despite the terrible energy consumption, at critical moments, Milotic can deliver a deadly blow to any close combat Sprite trying to ambush it!
With the combination of "Creation Regeneration" and "Super Strength," Milotic will shine briefly, adopting an aggressive, reckless style that ensures any Sprite that comes close does not return.
"Cleansing Water," "High-temperature steam," "Creation Regeneration," and "Super Strength," Milotic has undergone an epic level of enhancement over the past month, with Fang Yuan dedicating most of his attention to it.
The transformation of Milotic has made Fang Yuan's other Pokémon reflect on their own growth, realizing that compared to Dragonite, it was Milotic who gained the most, first from the Temple of the Sea and then from The Lake of Purification.
…
In Ice Plain City, at the Trainer Association's first-floor Spirit Center.
Before leaving Ice Plain City, Fang Yuan returned here to restore his Pokémon's Physical Strength, but no sooner had he entered than he sensed a commotion.
Fang Yuan pricked up his ears... It seemed to be related to an international training team, a world tournament training group from abroad that had challenged the Fighting United Dojo established in Ice Plain City.
