Sorry, Zacian, I Can't Give You This Rusted Sword

Boom!!

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from Shaymin's body.

Shaymin used its signature move, Seed Flare.

Seed Flare could not only tear open space, but was also extremely effective for wide-range attacks.

Dazzling emerald light swept freely across the area, and the once-noisy battlefield fell silent in an instant.

When the light faded, the entire Ekans pack, including the Arbok leader, had all fallen unconscious.

Shaymin quickly flew back, landing on Mark's shoulder and returning to its usual hedgehog form.

"Mark, Mii has taken care of everything! Now we just need to wait for Zacian's next trial!"

Shaymin looked at Mark and saw the corner of his mouth twitch slightly. Then it looked down at Mark's feet, where Caterpie had already reverted to Kakuna and was snoring away.

The instant Shaymin used its power, both Mark and Kakuna had recovered all of their memories.

Mark shook his head helplessly and grabbed the Grass Hedgehog on his shoulder.

The latter promptly spread open its soft belly. Mark, looking utterly helpless, gently rubbed Shaymin's stomach.

Mark said, "I told you not to resist the power of the trial. You didn't resist, did you?"

Shaymin said, "Of course Mii didn't resist! Mii isn't as stupid as Victini, and Mii doesn't like playing pranks like Mew!"

Mark nodded. "It must be an ability you gained after becoming a Shiny Pokemon that made this trial ineffective on you. What a pity..."

Mark let out a soft sigh.

Honestly, he found this trial quite interesting.

Although his and Caterpie's strength had been reduced in the trial, their combat experience had been retained.

Using his current combat experience to control his weaker body from the past, Mark felt that it would greatly benefit his training. It would help him notice details he had been unable to notice
