Totem Aura—
a special phenomenon found only among Alolan Pokémon.
And Totem Aura and Ultra Aura…
were deeply linked.
It was no exaggeration to say
they were born from the same source.
│ "So that's what it means…"
Bai Chen finally understood
why the system rewarded him with Totem Aura proficiency.
He stood up slowly,
patted Zinogre beside him.
│ "Come on. Let's use a Bond Move."
He swung onto Zinogre's back.
Bond Moves and Z-Moves were similar—
Both enhanced moves are powered by natural forces.
But there was one crucial difference:
Z-Moves: draw energy OUT of the trainer and Pokémon + natural energy → empower the move.
Bond Moves: absorb natural energy INTO the monster → massively amplify its own power.
Bai Chen activated the Bond Stone.
Natural energy gathered around it like a vortex.
Lightning descended from the heavens.
Zinogre's electric aura intensified.
He charged toward Buzzwole,
lightning spiraling around him.
His current lock is on the Ultra Beast.
Zinogre leapt high—
using his monstrous leg strength.
Zzzzzzztttt—!!
Electricity shrieked violently as
every volt in his body focused into his right claw.
He became a living thunderbolt.
Thunder Wheel Storm!
A move with power rivaling a Z-Move.
The sky turned pure electric blue.
A moment of silence—
Then a thunderous explosion cracked the ground,
fissures spreading like spiderwebs.
The battle was over.
Even a creature as strong as Buzzwole couldn't handle
two Z-Moves + one Bond Move
without fighting for his life.
Bai Chen slid off Zinogre's back
and approached the Ultra Beast.
He immediately copied Buzzwole's rarest moves:
Bodybuilding Physique (Rarity 7)
Ultra Aura (Rarity 6)
A Pokémon with 570 base stats—
even stronger than some world map bosses.
│ "This Bodybuilding Physique should merge well with Nergigante's Strength Incarnation.
And Ultra Aura should merge with Totem Aura…
Now I just need to figure out how to absorb it."
He activated his Totem Aura.
Something strange happened—
His aura wrapped around Buzzwole
and began drinking the Ultra Aura
like a starving beast.
And then the system messages began flooding:
[Totem Aura +1]
[Totem Aura +1]
Hundreds of notifications per second.
He absorbed 4573 proficiency before it finally stopped.
His Totem Aura now needed
just over three thousand more points
to reach Master level.
The system chimed—
mission complete.
He hadn't drained Buzzwole completely—
Just absorbed all the extra Ultra Aura
that Buzzwole had gained from fighting.
These came from Buzzwole's ability:
Beast Boost — increases the highest stat after defeating an opponent.
Unlike the games—
where stat boosts vanished after battle—
in the real world
This was a permanent power increase,
manifesting as a stronger Ultra Aura.
And now Bai Chen had absorbed all of it.
He exhaled deeply.
│ "Ultra Beasts really are treasure troves…"
Totem Aura was incredibly hard to level.
It only increased by:
defeating strong creatures, or
spending precious skill proficiency
Defeating a danger-level 5 monster
barely raised Totem Aura by 100 points.
But Buzzwole alone
gave him 4500 proficiency.
On top of that,
the system rewarded him EVEN MORE
skill points and Totem Aura points.
Bai Chen steadied himself,
then shouted toward Lillie:
│ "Call President Lusamine.
They need to take custody of this Ultra Beast."
│ "Okay!"
Lillie quickly dialed her mother.
At that moment,
Professor Kukui finally arrived at the scene.
He looked at the unconscious Buzzwole—
then at Nergigante and Zinogre—
then at Silvally—
and finally, at Indeedee floating above them with telekinesis.
He muttered:
│ "…Why are ALL these Pokémon ones I've never seen before?"
Kukui hurried over.
│ "What exactly happened here?"
Bai Chen explained everything.
Learning that Bai Chen was Lillie's bodyguard
Let Kukui relax.
If they were allies, it was fine.
He glanced at the destroyed schoolyard.
│ "…Just how intense was that battle?
Was this all caused by his Pokémon's aftershocks?"
Bai Chen studied Kukui out of the corner of his eye.
Don't be fooled by the lab coat—
The man was also the Masked Royal,
a legitimate pro wrestler
and someone with power on par with Island Kahunas.
Kukui pointed at the fallen Ultra Beast.
│ "What do we do with it now?"
│ "Wait for the Aether Foundation.
They'll know how to handle it.
I'll keep an eye on him until they arrive."
Buzzwole had been weakened heavily
after Bai Chen drained his boosted Ultra Aura—
—and Bai Chen himself had grown much stronger.
If Buzzwole tried to fight again,
He wouldn't be a threat.
Kukui trusted his confidence.
│ "Alright. I'll leave it to you."
After a short wait,
Lusamine arrived with Wicke and Professor Burnet.
The moment Lusamine laid eyes on Buzzwole—
Her eyes lit up
with pure, unrestrained excitement.
She had spent years chasing Ultra Beasts.
Now, finally—
One stood before her.
