I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

An invisible force swept out, fixing Hoopa's body firmly in place, making him unable to move, unable to take an even a step.

"Woo..."

Now, no matter how hard Hoopa tried, he could not move an inch in the air. He could only watch the purple-black mist filled with an ominous aura coming towards him.

"Roar......"

Faintly, it seemed to hear a terrifying roar like that of a monster coming from the fog.

Then, the purple-black fog hit Hoopa and swallowed him in one breath!

"what--!!"

Surrounded by the thick fog that burned like flames, Hoopa's face showed a painful expression.

It screamed as if it was being executed and enduring great pain, letting out a desperate and shrill wail.

The thick purple-black fog released by Balza climbed up its body like a cancer, wrapping its entire body tightly.

“Ah, ahh ...

Screaming, Hoopa's voice gradually changed.

It was no longer as light and playful as before, but gradually became hoarse and heavy, just like a child suddenly turning into a mature adult.

This is indeed the case...

"what--!!"

Hoopa roared loudly, as if he was going to break his throat, and his voice became violent.

Its petite body was controlled by the purple-black mist surrounding it and began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When he opened his eyes, Hoopa's eyes, like Balza's, were filled with red light full of ominous and evil aura, like a demon from hell.

“Hup-pa-!!”

It roared its own name in a voice that became thicker and heavier, and from light to powerful, and its swelled body flew towards the sky above.

"Hopa!"

It happened in an instant, and before anyone could react, Hoopa was controlled by Balza using the Pot of Punishment.

Mei Yali's tone was worried, and she called out Hu Pa's name loudly, but got no response from the latter.

Her gaze fell on Balzac's face, which was dull and moving mechanically like a puppet, and then shifted to the pot of punishment in Balzac's hand.

"That is--"

Mei Yali was stunned, feeling that this thing looked familiar, as if she had seen a similar portrait somewhere.

But before she could think carefully, a huge black shadow fell from the sky to the ground and appeared in front of her eyes, making her turn her head involuntarily to look.

"Hupa?"

Looking at the owner of the huge black shadow, Mei Yali's eyes were dull and she called its name in a stammering voice.

That's right, the dark shadow that fell from the sky and covered the entire garden was Hoopa's shadow...

“Hup-pa-!!”

Flying in the air, Hoopa let out a heavy roar.

Its body was controlled by the purple-black energy mist, and its appearance had changed drastically.

The petite body, which was originally less than one meter tall, had expanded rapidly in the short span of more than ten seconds, and exploded to a height of seventy meters like a balloon!

What a huge visual impact this is!

The changes before and after made Mei Yali stand there in a daze, unable to think.

"this......"

Looking at Hupa, whose appearance had changed and no longer resembled the image in her memory, Mei Yali's mind went blank and she was unable to understand what was happening before her eyes.

"Awakening Hoopa... or should I say Liberation Hoopa?"

Standing behind Meiyali, Aisha, Shay, and Lillie also witnessed the entire process of Balza using the Pot of Punishment to turn Hoopa into his current appearance.

Lillie's reaction was the same as Mei Yali's. They had never expected that the little guy who had just been sitting with them in the pavilion in the garden, sharing desserts and cold drinks, would turn into the giant he is now.

"How can it be......"

There was a hint of disbelief in the girl's tone, and her beautiful green eyes also revealed a deep sense of surprise.

Although Lillie was a person who had seen the world, she had witnessed with her own eyes several Ghouls wreaking havoc in the ruins of a city, easily destroying and devouring a building, and she had also witnessed from afar the shocking battle between Aisha and Ultra Necrozma.

However, she had just arrived in the Kalos region, and it was only the second day, and she was already involved in a new special Pokémon incident. This was still too exciting for her.

As for Xia Yi, her reaction was much calmer.

"Hey."

Looking at Jiefang Hoopa making a lot of noise in the sky and swinging his huge body excitedly, Xia Yi lowered his head helplessly and sighed.

She looked at Aisha standing in front of her and roughly understood what was going on.

"You kid, you really have a physique that invites trouble..."

Having known Aixia for such a long time, Xia Yi has a certain understanding of Aixia's "protagonist physique" that causes trouble wherever she goes.

If she guessed correctly, Aisha came to Desert City this time not only to keep his appointment with Qinglu for a fight, but also Hoopa should be one of his targets.

In fact, Xia Yi had guessed it when they first met.

Although she is not a researcher or a doctor, she is able to sit on the position of the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Great Yan region and become a big figure who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the Great Yan region. At least she is knowledgeable.

At the same time, due to family issues, Xia Yi also reads myths and legends from various regions on a daily basis, and is very familiar with the legendary Pokémon from various places.

So, the moment Xia Yi saw Hu Pa, he began to doubt this guy's background.

She had never seen a Pokémon that looked like Hoopa in the Pokémon Encyclopedia or any other book, but she had seen the description of "using a golden ring to teleport" in an ancient book that recorded the ancient legends of the Kalos region.

However, in that ancient book, the description of the Pokémon with this characteristic was "a giant with a huge body and six arms", which was completely different from Hoopa, who had only three rings and two hands on his body and was so petite that he could be said to be cute. So Xia Yi did not think about it in that regard.

But that's different now.

"Hey."

Looking up, Xia Yi looked at Hoopa's current appearance.

With a height of seventy meters, it is no exaggeration to call him a giant.

Its blue-grey skin had a steely luster, and it was covered in purple hair. Its torso was exceptionally large, and was wrapped in dense purple hair. A huge golden ring was embedded in its chest, and the centre of the ring was as deep and dark as a black hole, a pitch-black colour that was terrifying to the very sight of.

It began to grow thick legs that were not there originally, and its ankles were each bound by two golden rings. Its golden toes were curled upwards, as if it was wearing the kind of pointed shoes that ancient European gentlemen would wear. Its short tail became very thick, with a very sharp end, swaying behind it like a bladed steel whip.

At this moment, Hoopa seemed to have turned into a devil in an Arabian story.

Its hair was extremely long and was tied up behind its head with a golden ring, forming a huge ponytail.

Its facial features also became ferocious, its eyes became sharp, its nose turned black, and a mouth full of sharp teeth protruded from its mouth.

A purple beard wrapped around its chin and the ends of its horns, which tapered and lengthened.

The most eye-catching thing is its arms...

Hoopa's original two short arms split into six very strong and sturdy huge arms with three sharp claws.

Each of these six arms has a special golden ring on its wrist, which is quite eye-catching and makes people pay attention to it involuntarily, as if these six rings possess some unknown special magic.

"This feels right."

His eyes swept over Jiefang Hupa's body, and Xia Yi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died.

Hu Pa's current appearance was at least ninety percent similar to the portrait she had seen in the ancient books in her home library, if not exactly the same.

"A giant with a massive body and six arms... the legendary Super Demon of the Light Wheel. I never expected to see it here."

Xia Yi thought about the names people used for Jiefang Hupa recorded in that ancient book, and her expression became strange.

She looked at Aisha and whispered in a voice only she could hear: "Do you have a physique that attracts legendary Pokémon?"

"How come wherever you go, you're greeted by legendary Pokémon that others will only see once in their lifetime?"

No wonder Xia Yi said that.

The reason why legendary Pokémon are legendary Pokémon is because they are mysterious Pokémon that only exist in myths and legends.

The legendary Pokémon never appear in public, and very few people have seen them. Their figures only exist in word of mouth and are always shrouded in a veil of mystery. It is precisely because of this that they can be worshipped by people. Some powerful legendary Pokémon have even become the objects of people's faith and worship.

Children born in the Kanto region grew up listening to the story of the three legendary birds, but until they died, they would never see a feather of these three legendary birds.

Mizukyo, a famous figure in the Johto region, has been traveling for many years, and his lifelong goal is just to meet Suicune of the Ho-oh Guard.

Those who can see legendary Pokémon, or even those who are favored by them, can be said to be the darlings of this world.

And for monsters like Aisha, not only have they seen it, but they've also captured more legendary Pokémon than can be counted on one hand...

"Sometimes I really wonder if you are Arceus's illegitimate child."

Looking at the slender back of the black-haired boy, Xia Yi couldn't help but sigh as she recalled what he had experienced in the short two years since his debut.

His experience is truly legendary!

"Shin, evolved?"

Not knowing that Xia Yi had recognized the true identity of Jiefang Hupa, Liliel stared blankly at the demon god flying in the air, muttering to herself.

what.

no way.

In the girl's opinion, only evolution can cause such a drastic change in a Pokémon's appearance.

But, not evolution.

“This is what it really looks like.”

Aisha raised her head and looked up at the sky, saying this.

"Eh?"

Lillie didn't understand what he meant, and her pretty face was covered with confusion and bewilderment.

"Hoopa, the 'Super Demon God of the Light' of Kalos legend."

However, it was not Aisha who answered her, but Xia Yi.

Xia Yi took a few steps forward, coming to Aisha's side. She looked up at the sky, a pensive expression on her face, as if getting acquainted with the long-lost demon form of Jiefang Hoopa. In a complex tone, she recounted to Lillie the description of Jiefang Hoopa she had read in ancient books from the ancient people of Kalos: "He possessed immense power, yet was also incredibly stubborn. His lust had once led him to uproot castles containing treasures and seize them. He would use his six sturdy arms and the rings they wore to snatch everything away."

After saying that, she sighed softly.

"From a thief to a robber, this kid..."

"Because of its numerous evil deeds, it was sealed by people a hundred years ago with mysterious power. Its small appearance before should be its appearance after its power was sealed." After looking at Xia Yi, Aixia added the last paragraph to her explanation.

"The power is sealed..."

After hearing what the two of them said, Liliae repeated the key words from Aisha's mouth, seemingly understanding them not quite.

"Uh!"

It was at this moment that Balza, who was standing next to the Warrior Eagle and holding the Pot of Punishment and caused all this, suddenly made a painful sound.

His brain was trembling and a ferocious expression appeared on his face.

Balza stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

He subconsciously clenched the Punishment Pot with one hand, and covered his bulging forehead with the other hand, whimpering in pain.

"Balza!"

Seeing this, Mei Yali, Balza's sister, immediately ran towards him in a panic and supported Balza who was about to fall to the ground.

"plum......"

Hearing his sister's voice, Balza opened his eyes with a look of unbearable pain on his face.

At this time, the scarlet color in his eyes had completely faded away, and he regained his original clarity.

"Meiyali, how could I..."

Balza, who was supported by Mei Yali and did not fall, looked around with a look of deep confusion in his eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Eh?"
