Pokémon: Starting From Zero as a Legendary Pokémon

"At this level, it probably counts as fulfilling the legend of Volcanion destroying mountains with a single strike, huh?"

Fortunately, Volcanion's power could greatly improve the climate and environment of the Nebel Plateau.

Combined with Victini's all-purpose energy, no matter how massive the destruction was, the land could quickly be revitalized and restored.

Otherwise, Sora would never dare let Volcanion play around like this.

"T-this…"

Kimia looked dazed for a moment before suddenly reacting in alarm.

"Where's Volcanion?! After such a terrifying explosion, is it alright?!"

"Relax, relax."

Sora quickly reassured her.

"Volcanion's fine. That move can't hurt it."

Although he had named the move Hydrogen Cloud, it wasn't an actual hydrogen bomb or nuclear weapon.

There was no radiation.

Nor did it produce harmful substances.

On the contrary—the explosion generated by Hydrogen Cloud was astonishingly clean.

At its core, the move simply involved water- and fire-type energies colliding until part of the energy completely collapsed—

unable to return to either elemental energy or life energy.

That was the basic principle.

The problem was that carrying it out was incredibly difficult.

That last attack had nearly drained all of Volcanion's energy reserves.

During earlier training attempts, reckless experimentation had caused countless internal injuries.

Fortunately, Victini existed.

Those injuries and energy losses were insignificant to her.

She could restore everything in moments.

Without Victini, Volcanion probably would've spent its entire life unable to master this move.

One failed attempt would require months of recovery.

Who could endure that?

"It can't hurt Volcanion?"

"Because of its Ability."

Sora explained:

"Volcanion's Ability is Water Absorb."

"It can nullify water-type damage entirely and even absorb it instead, converting it into stamina to recover injuries."

Hydrogen Cloud looked catastrophic, but fundamentally it still belonged to the category of water-type moves.

Of course, Water Absorb wasn't omnipotent.

If an ordinary Pokémon with Water Absorb tried tanking this move—

it would explode from overload in seconds.

The Ability possessed a limit to how much water-type energy it could absorb.

How much energy could an ordinary Pokémon body withstand?

Maybe a few seconds at best before Hydrogen Cloud crushed it outright.

"Besides, the move also contains massive amounts of fire-type energy."

"In practical terms, it manifests as extreme heat and pressure."

It could be said that aside from Volcanion itself, no Pokémon could use this method.

Volcanion feared neither heat nor the burden caused by energy reflux.

Because the energy originally came from itself.

Reabsorbing it was completely natural.

The destructive force of the explosion was merely the large-scale outward phenomenon.

Internally, the elemental energy remained fundamentally unchanged.

To Volcanion—this move wasn't damage at all.

It was practically a recovery skill.

A super-sized recovery skill.

"S-so amazing…"

Kimia no longer knew how to evaluate it.

A self-destruct-like move capable of annihilating everything within several thousand meters—

while simultaneously restoring the user's condition.

Aside from its massive energy consumption, it was basically divine.

"Volcanion's mastery over this move is still far too shallow."

According to Sora:

"Out of one hundred units of energy, less than two percent are actually being converted into Hydrogen Cloud's true destructive power."

"It still needs more training."

"More?!"

You wanted Volcanion to continue training a move like this?!

"Don't worry."

"I'll find remote locations and avoid damaging the environment whenever possible."

Hydrogen Cloud was actually fairly clean.

And it possessed another advantage—it allowed Volcanion's power to spread across tens or even hundreds of kilometers of land.

After all, Volcanion functioned like a natural steam furnace.

It continuously supplied life energy to the plateau, regulating temperature and seasonal winds.

Aside from the actual blast radius of Hydrogen Cloud, the entire Nebel Plateau would benefit from the released energy.

"The best locations would actually be barren lands or deserts."

"With Volcanion's power, it could potentially revitalize an entire desert and restore life to it."

Of course, doing so might destroy the habitats of countless ground-type Pokémon.

In the Pokémon world, every environment served a purpose.

Carelessly erasing deserts could trigger catastrophic chain reactions throughout the ecosystem.

"Uh…"

What else could Kimia even say?

She could only indulge Sora's recklessness.

Though admittedly, because this area had been blasted by Hydrogen Cloud, future construction would become much easier.

"Oh right."

Sora suddenly remembered something.

"What did you come to see me for?"

After finishing the daily training session, he curiously asked why Kimia had specifically come over.

"Ah, I almost forgot."

The overwhelming shock had completely distracted Kimia from her original purpose.

"It's about the special battle facility."

"A special battle facility?"

Sora looked confused.

"What's that?"

Kimia patiently explained her plan.

She wanted to apply to the League for authorization to establish a unique battle institution within the Azoth Kingdom.

It would welcome trainers seeking challenges while simultaneously protecting the Nebel Plateau, safeguarding both humans and Pokémon from hostile organizations and dangerous threats.

"That's the general idea."

Kimia added:

"But whether or not we actually proceed depends on what you think."

"I'll follow your decision."

Sora knew Kimia meant well.

Especially her "get in line first and prepare early" approach—it suited his tastes perfectly.

"Since I've chosen this place, I really do need to start planning for the future."

"Your proposal came at the perfect time."

Sora had decided to settle on the Nebel Plateau, but that was a long-term plan.

For now, he still had no intention of stopping his journey.

"Oh right."

"In a few days, I'm planning to head to the Galar region."

"Eh?"

Hearing Sora say he was leaving, Kimia looked reluctant.

Thankfully, he had already decided to stay in the future.

This departure was only temporary.

That made it easier for Kimia to accept.

"Can you tell me why you're going to Galar?"

After speaking, she hurriedly added:

"If there's anything I can help with, please tell me. You don't need to be polite."

"No need to be so formal."

"And it's not some huge secret anyway."

Sora explained that he was heading to Galar because he had obtained information regarding a Legendary Pokémon.

"A Legendary Pokémon?"

Kimia was curious, but no longer surprised.

Sora already had four legendary Pokémon under his command.

One more honestly didn't seem that shocking anymore.

Rather than asking about the Pokémon's identity, she cared more about whether she could help Sora somehow.
