He suddenly remembered that Cosmog—or rather, the Sun God and Moon God of the Alola region—were, strictly speaking, "Outer Gods," beings from another world.
The Pokémon from the same world as those two gods were known as Ultra Beasts.
In the games, capturing an Ultra Beast required a special kind of Poké Ball called a "Beast Ball."
Did the Illuminati also have similar special Poké Balls?
Thinking this, Roy opened the system and found the "Beast Ball." It cost one hundred thousand points.
An ordinary Poké Ball, meanwhile, only cost one thousand points.
"A hundred times more expensive..." Roy muttered as he tossed out the Beast Ball. This time, he successfully captured Cosmog.
Since Cosmog was currently in a willing self-sacrificing state of "work hard, live hard," the Beast Ball did not even shake once before the capture succeeded.
But soon, the Beast Ball automatically opened, and Cosmog reappeared before Roy.
"What's wrong?"
"momo!!"
Cosmog said that it did not like staying inside the Beast Ball. Remaining in a Poké Ball would affect its growth.
Roy fell into thought.
This was probably another manifestation of Cosmog storing energy... Aside from consuming food to absorb energy, it might also be constantly drawing some mysterious energy from the atmosphere.
