That helpless look in its eyes inexplicably softened Xia Yan's heart.
Actually.
All Manaphy wanted was its child.
And for a parent.
A child might be their greatest source of spiritual support and reliance.
Especially for a Pokémon like Manaphy, one that possessed an almost infinite lifespan.
"Manaphy, I mean no harm."
Xia Yan spread his palm.
And slowly approached Manaphy's consciousness.
Mega Alakazam remained where it was.
Because it knew that Manaphy harbored an inexplicable aversion toward it, though it had more or less guessed the reason.
But not moving did not mean it would do nothing.
Alakazam did not care why Manaphy had gone berserk. It only knew that Xia Yan's safety was its responsibility.
The moment Manaphy showed any aggressive intent, it would immediately take Xia Yan away.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, they had invaded Manaphy's mental space.
And within Manaphy's mental space, it possessed tremendous autonomy. It was potentially even more dangerous than facing Manaphy outside.
Much like the Alternate Spaces Xia Yan had once visited, belonging to Reshiram and Zekrom.
There.
The Twin Dragons had the final say over everything.
Though Manaphy was not on the same level as the Twin Dragons, it was still a powerful Mythical Pokémon that had lived for an unknown number of years.
A faint blue Aura shimmered across Xia Yan's open palm.
He discovered that even within a mental space, Aura could still be used.
It continuously conveyed goodwill.
The reason he had not used it before.
Was because Manaphy had been completely consumed by rage. Ordinary Aura could not have soothed it.
Otherwise, Aura would have been far too powerful.
But now.
With the boiling waters representing rage surrounding the mental space, Xia Yan had seen the most vulnerable part of Manaphy's consciousness.
