The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　【Life Flow: Milotic creates a life-giving flow of water that wraps around itself and its allies, restoring 1/4 of their maximum health (mana), and then restoring 1/16 of their maximum health (mana) every thirty seconds thereafter.】

　"As expected? The fusion of 'Drops of Life' and 'Water Ring' has granted Milotic even greater healing abilities."

　"And like 'Water Ring,' it restores 1/16 of maximum HP each turn, and this effect can continue indefinitely."

　"Of course, that's impossible in reality."

　"Although the feedback did not explicitly state it, it is clear that when the life force contained within the 'Life Stream' is exhausted, that is when the 'Life Stream' dissipates."

　"This is clearly related to the total amount of vitality that it brings back to the target."

　"But judging from this, could this Milotic be a support-oriented, healer-type magical Pokémon?"

　"However, my lineup is indeed very lacking in magical spirits with wide-range healing abilities."

　"If Milotic is equipped with equipment or items that can generate life force, it will become a mobile fountain!"

　"Wait a minute, isn't this just a portable version of 'Paradise'?"

　Dak suddenly realized something, and his eyes immediately lit up.

　With Milotic's "Life Stream," the magical spirits' collective journey is no longer a dream.

　He was very satisfied with this and continued to look at Milotic's third special move.

　Among the two consecutive adjusted ultimate moves, this third ultimate move... is still an adjusted ultimate move!

　[Moon's Protection: Grants the Moon's Protection state to the player's side of the field, protecting the player and allies from most abnormal statuses such as Confusion, Drowsiness, Burning, and Freezing for five turns (three minutes). The duration is doubled under moonlight, and the player also gains the power of purification.]

　"A perfect team-enhancing ultimate move!"

　"The 'Moon Guardian' should be the moonlight version of the 'Mysterious Guardian'."

　The existence of "Life Stream" and "Moon Guardian" makes Milotic's role very clear.

　But that's not all there is to it.

　Dark turned his gaze to Milotic's final attack—"Water Cannon"!

　The existence of the "Water Cannon" transforms Milotic from a support unit into a turret!

　[Water Cannon: Milotic manipulates water elementals to unleash a highly compressed water cannon attack on the opponent, rendering itself unable to move for the next turn.]

　As Milotic's only original special move, Hydro Cannon is extremely powerful, making it arguably the most powerful Water-type move!

　……

　Merry Christmas Eve! I suddenly heard during dinner tonight that tomorrow is my lunar birthday, I didn't expect it to fall on the same day as Christmas!

　[I've put up a year-end bounty until December. I've already tied my hair up and hung it from the rafters, and I've prepared an awl to stab my thigh. All that's missing is a knife to my neck.]

　[In December, I'm 80,000 words short of the bottom line and 130,000 words short of my small goal. I'll aim for 80,000 and strive for 130,000.]

Chapter 685

　Hydro Cannon is a move that only Water-type Pokémon among the starter Pokémon can learn in the original Pokémon series. It has power comparable to Hyper Beam.

　Excessive power will cause Milotic to be unable to move for thirty seconds after unleashing its "Water Cannon".

　But its other three signature moves will not stop there.

　Milotic can remain standing as long as "Life Stream" and "Lunar Guardian" are activated before unleashing "Water Cannon".

　Even after the initial impact, it remains an excellent team support.

　But its true stage is far from the magical duel.

　Its capabilities are truly demonstrated in small to medium-sized legion battles.

　Dark immediately associated this with the Dragon Legion.

　With Milotic present, the Dragoon army's endurance is greatly guaranteed.

　……

　After a brief analysis, Dark prepared to summon Milotic.

　But just as he was about to chant the incantation, he suddenly paused, remembering that although Milotic gave people a rather slender impression, it was actually a large Pokémon with a body length of six or seven meters.

　If a summoning were to actually be performed indoors, it would surely be a disaster!

　"Luckily, I realized it in time."

　Dark's eyes darted around, and he picked up "Paradise IV: Moon" as well, then put on his card holder and prepared to go out.

　"Not summoning here anymore?" Little Devimon asked curiously, his eyes wide.

　Dark shook his head slightly and said, "To the clubroom."

　Little Devimon suddenly realized that the most important evolution experiment was about to begin!

　The other magic managers also suddenly perked up, and one by one they jumped off the beds and chairs at lightning speed, gathering around Dark.

　Even Renamon and Gatomon followed rather slowly behind.

　"In that case, let's go together."

　Dak smiled.

　"And to welcome the new family members."

　……

　November 27th, Wednesday night.

　The night was cool and refreshing.

　It was past nine o'clock, and the first-year students who were taking astronomy class at the top of the spiral clock tower had already left. Only the Magical Creatures Club classroom was still lit up on the entire clock tower.

　As soon as Dak entered, he was greeted by the "Gu Huo Niao" that pounced on him.

　As time passed, the little Guhuo bird gradually grew up and no longer shed its feathers and transformed into human form at every turn.

　Although Dark didn't spend much time at the club, it still clung to it like a mother, and seemed to be clinging to it more and more.

　Dark managed to pick it off with great difficulty and handed it to "Big Milk Tank" to watch over. Then he called out to the magical spirits in the clubroom and led them to the open space in the center of the classroom.

　"Is there a new partner?" Agumon's eyes lit up as it saw Dark draw a Magic Card from its card pack, and it asked excitedly.

　"Drow!" The elusive "Drow Balto" suddenly appeared in front of Dark and licked Dark's face.

　Dak instinctively dodged, then reached out and patted its head before looking around.

　Among the magical Pokémon that have recently been trained and awakened to intelligence, "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" and "Luna Soul" get along well, "Magical Beast: God of Destruction" is being taught astrology by Eevee teacher, and "Dragon Balrog" has a good relationship with "Misdreavus", and it can often be seen being taken by "Misdreavus" to play pranks.

　The three-meter-long, seven-star dragon "Dragonball" follows the lead of its three-star predecessor "Dreamlike," which is quite interesting.

　"Shouldn't Milotic get along well with Popplio?"

　I wonder if the Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon will be attracted to it?

　Dark thought for a moment, and then saw "Sylveon" walking proudly to his feet.

　Since the introduction of Flower Cards, "Sylveon" has established its position.

　Dark had previously discovered that his magical spirits were not ranked according to combat power, star rating, etc., but had always been ranked according to "first come, first served".

　But now, they seem to have a new sorting method.

　That's the number of "flower cards"!

　Of course, since there is a ranking, it is inevitable that some people will disagree.

　It is said that a certain magical spirit proposed the "Elysium-1" proposal, requiring the magical spirits of "Elysium" to deduct one.

　Some magical spirits went even further, proposing the "Elysium-2" initiative, and surprisingly, some people agreed to it.

　In short, the sheer number of ten "Sylveon" undoubtedly earned the approval of most magical Pokémon, which was truly convincing.

　There's no way around it, ten is just too many!

　Therefore, for the past two days, "Sylveon" has been openly crawling into Dark's bed every night, and the other magical elves have not reacted much.

　……

　Dark then looked down at "Sylveon" again, then at "Milotic" in his hand, and blinked.

　"Meow?" Sylveon asked, puzzled.

　Dark then said seriously, "I will begin the summoning."

　As the magical spirits focused their attention on him, Dark began to cast a summoning spell.

　The method still uses mindless magical spirits as sacrifices for the final sacrificial summoning.

　"In the name of Dark Deemon, a sacrifice is made to summon—'Milnus'!"

　……

　As soon as he finished speaking, the offerings on the ground turned into light and rose up, gathering in the pool in the center of the open space to form a mysterious and complex sacrificial summoning circle.

　Within that slowly rotating array of light, Milotic, hailed as the most beautiful Pokémon, suddenly leaped out of the water!

　The splashed water droplets resembled stars under the bright light.

　Milotic's slender, creamy-colored body exudes an irresistible charm; its soft chirping is melodious and alluring, and its "Elysium" aura is so thick it forms a thin mist, which is astonishing.

　The magical spirits' gazes were already focused on it, and now they were completely captivated by it, leaving the scene momentarily silent.

　Some forms of beauty transcend race.

　……

　“miu——”

　Milotic slowly turned around as it coiled in the pool, its red eyes as gentle as jade.

　Like all "Elysium" magical spirits, it was most profoundly influenced by "Elysium" in its mind at the time of its initial birth.

　That kind of influence can make them unable to control their desire to express themselves.

　Even gentle and docile magical spirits like Milotic are like this.

　When its gaze met Dark's, Dark suddenly became alert.

　"Wow!"

　With the sound of water splashing, Milotic leaped out of the pool and darted towards them.

　It fully demonstrates the power of the Seven Star Magical Spirit.

　But in front of Dark, the figure of "Dorombaluto" that had automatically disappeared suddenly reappeared. It raised its head sharply, and "Dorombmesia" in its horn hole was also eager to move.

　The two dragons faced each other head-on, simultaneously radiating their dragon might.

　"Stop!"

　Dark Demon's forceful orders prevented an impending conflict and also prevented the emergence of discordant elements.

　In large families, once a rift develops, it is likely to widen further.

　Sometimes, Dak also pays special attention to these things.

　"Dorlong—"

　When Draco saw Milotic stop its charge, it relaxed.

　It was also attracted by Milotic's amazing charm. But as an embodiment of Elysium, it naturally had a considerable degree of immunity to Elysium's allure.

　It was not completely misled.

　However, given the allure that Milotic is displaying at this moment, it could probably charm some creatures with weak wills even without contact with it.

　Its alluring effect is far beyond what "Sylveon" can achieve.

　"Um……"

　Before he knew it, Dark found his arm was tightly wrapped in Sylveon's ribbon.

　Clearly, after Milotic appeared, Sylveon finally sensed the threat.

　Feeling the ribbon tightening, Dak had no choice but to gently pat it with his other hand.

　Sylveon can sense the other person's mind through the ribbon, and at this moment, the expression on its face relaxed slightly, and it moved closer to his leg.

　Dark raised his head and met Milotic's gaze head-on.
