A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Milotic's body trembled slightly a few times, and its originally tightly closed eyes opened slightly, revealing dim eyes.

The surrounding Pokémon instantly went into an uproar. Magikarp jumped anxiously on the water, making "Kuokuo" sounds, and the Clownfish in the pool nearby were wagging their tails quickly, making slight noises.

Yishu's face was filled with concern, and she was the first to ask, "Zhang Heng, how is Mienasi doing?"

Zhang Heng hurriedly moved closer, carefully observing the condition of Mienshao, and said softly, "It's very weak now, and its body functions haven't fully recovered. But the fact that it's awake is a good sign."

At this moment, Milotic slowly raised its eyes, staring directly at Zhang Heng. In that instant, Milotic recognized the human before it. It could sense the human's voice, the same one that had repeatedly called out its name when it was lost in that silent, dark world.

Those calls were like bright lights in the darkness, guiding it to find a glimmer of hope in the endless chaos.

There was a glimmer of light in Mienshao's eyes, as if expressing his inner gratitude to Zhang Heng, and then it returned to dimness, as if he was immersed in that world again.

Yishu's eyes were filled with heartache, and he asked again: "What should we do? How can we make it get better quickly?"

Zhang Heng then remembered that he came out to participate in a sea fishing competition and only brought some common medicines with him. He did not have any potions that could help Milotic recover quickly.

His eyes searched his surroundings, and a sudden flashback of his arrival on the island flashed through his mind. He remembered meeting Wu Bo and the Swamp King's family on the northeast side of the island. Beside that damp swamp grew a plant resembling ginseng, emitting a soft glow. It was called the Yuanqi Root.

According to the Pokémon Encyclopedia, the Energy Root contains magical energy and has an incredible effect on restoring the physical strength of Pokémon.

Milotic is now severely overdrawn and in an extremely weak state. If it can be restored to a relatively healthy state of low health, with the three recovery skills in Milotic's skill pool, it will be able to quickly recover to a healthy state with its own abilities.

Zhang Heng turned to Yishu and said, "I remember there's a vitality root on the northeast side of the island that can help Mienotic recover. I'll go get it. You stay here and take care of Mienotic."

"Hey, Zhang Heng, be careful."

"It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Zhang Heng quickly stood up and ran farther and farther, not forgetting to respond to Yishu, as he headed towards the northeast side of the island. He relied on his memories of previous visits to the island to identify the route. Dense grass scraped against his legs, and branches occasionally whipped him.

Finally, he arrived at the place where he had encountered Wu Bo and the Swamp King's family. The damp smell of the swamp hit him. Zhang Heng searched carefully around the area and soon found the vitality roots.

He squatted down and carefully dug out the vitality root, trying not to damage its rhizome. Then he quickly returned to the pond along the way he came.

Returning to Milotic, Zhang Heng washed and crushed the Yuanqi Root, squeezed out the juice, and brought it to Milotic's mouth with great anticipation, trying to get it to swallow it.

However, Milotic did not react at all. The juice full of life slowly flowed down the corners of its mouth without any sign of swallowing.

Zhang Heng frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness. He tried to feed the juice again, but still to no avail. Milotic seemed to have completely lost the will to live and was indifferent to the precious potion that could restore it.

Seeing Mienshao like this, Yishu was extremely anxious.

However, Zhang Heng said, "It seems that Mienshao has suffered a severe mental trauma. If we want to treat him, we must first understand why this battle suddenly broke out."

After saying this, Zhang Heng once again placed his hand on the weakened Milotic, and continuously tried to explore Milotic's memory fragments through the communication bridge built by the power of water control.

As he connected with the consciousness of the Minas, the images gradually became clearer. In this area of ​​water, the degenerate form of the Minas, the Uglyfish, had always been at the bottom of the ecosystem in this area.

Before they evolved, the Ghouls tribe suffered from bullying. As the strongest manager in the water, Gyarados often used its powerful strength to drive the Ghouls into the dark corners of the pool.

Those small, ugly fish looked like timid little pitiful creatures. They could only huddle at the bottom of the pool. Even when they surfaced to breathe, they had to be very careful, for fear of being discovered by Gyarados.

Like Magikarp, Shrike has a base stat of only 200 points, making it the weakest among water-type Pokémon.

However, like Magikarp, they also have the opportunity to change their fate. Once they evolve, they can achieve a leap in strength.

However, the evolution requirements for Gyarados and Magikarp are very different. In the game, Magikarp only needs to reach level 20 to evolve into the powerful and powerful Gyarados.

The evolution of the Clownfish is much more difficult. In the game setting, the Clownfish needs to improve its beauty to a certain level with the help of beautiful scales before it can evolve.

In the harsh living environment of the wild, it is extremely rare for a Clownfish to successfully evolve into a Milotic. Behind every Clownfish that has completed its evolution is incredible effort. It is no exaggeration to call them hardworking geniuses.

Finally, this Milotic successfully evolved. It was obsessed with finding a living space for its fellow members of the tribe, no longer wanting them to live in such a cramped state, hiding underwater and even breathing stealthily.

Thus, a battle to defend dignity and the right to survive broke out. After completing its evolution, Milotic bravely summoned the courage to challenge Gyarados, attempting to change the fate of their tribe, which had been oppressed.

However, reality was extremely cruel. Despite the tremendous power gained by Milotic after its evolution, and despite making every possible effort to prepare, including using the Water Ring skill to protect itself and the transformation skill Hypnosis during the battle, it was still defeated by the powerful Gyarados.

Now, Zhang Heng could clearly feel that Milotic had lost its former strength. It was like a rising star about to shine, but before it could even begin to radiate its light, it was ruthlessly crushed and defeated by Gyarados.

The despair of having his heart shattered was like a haze that enveloped the heart of Milotic, causing it to fall into endless depression.

"It seems that if we can't defeat Gyarados head-on, Milotic will not be able to make it through this hurdle."

Yishu now understood the implication of Zhang Heng's words and asked, "Are you saying that this Mienshao has given up on itself and lost its instinct to survive?"

"Yes, it has lost all its will to fight and even its survival instinct. If it hadn't been pulled out of the water just now, it would have perished on the seabed. If we leave it alone now, the same fate awaits it..."

While speaking, Zhang Heng took out a diving ball from the system.

"Ding~ 998 diving balls remaining..."
