Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 114 The Magical Stone Tablet! Wanlong, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Unova!

Seeing Hupa's shock, Li Luochen didn't think much of it and casually tossed the Dragon Stone Tablet over: "Hey, take a look, it's the real Dragon Stone Tablet."

Hupa didn't dare to be negligent and immediately emerged from the golden ring.

After firmly catching the dragon slab, it weighed it in its hand and tapped it a few times.

Then, Hoopa pressed her little face against the stone slab, listening to the dull thuds and feeling the primal energy within it.

"It really is the Dragon Slab, but its internal essence is severely damaged... Why did this slab end up in your hands? It shouldn't be like this!"

Hupa was greatly puzzled, and returned the Dragon Stone Tablet to Li Luochen, saying seriously, "No matter what, you must keep this stone tablet safe! No matter what happens, don't lose it!"

"This stone tablet? I got it from a Najatasatula. What's it for?"

Through the system's explanation, Li Luochen learned that the stone tablet could enhance the power of Pokémon moves, and that Arceus had an even more incredible effect when it held one.

Besides that, I don't know what other use it has.

"It's incredibly useful, more useful than you can imagine!"

Hoopa gestured exaggeratedly, roughly outlining a pattern resembling a halo, before continuing, "That great one once said that if any being could collect all eighteen stone tablets, then it would descend into reality and fulfill one of that being's wishes."

"Whether it's wealth and glory, unparalleled power, or eternal life, whatever that lord can achieve, will absolutely be granted!"

"What if I said my wish was to be able to make an infinite number of such wishes?"

Li Luochen had an idea.

Hoopa: "..."

A path never before imagined!

wrong!

How did Li Luochen suddenly lead her astray?

Hoopa quickly shook his head, interrupting Li Luochen's reverie: "Ahem, one thing at a time. In short, these stone tablets are very useful. Besides being able to summon that great one by collecting all eighteen tablets, the tablets can also repair the essence of Pokémon of the corresponding type."

"Oh?"

Li Luochen's eyes suddenly lit up.

There has been absolutely no news about the secret seasoning these past few days.

He was just worrying about how to restore the original source of Gu Leton and Po Kong Yan, and now this has another way!

"Ahem~ You lucky one, how about I discuss something with you?"

Hupa blinked, rubbing his hands together like a fly, and winked at Li Luochen, saying, "If you find the Magic Stone Tablet, the Evil Face Stone Tablet, and the Monster Stone Tablet later, could you lend me these three stone tablets for a while?"

Li Luochen asked suspiciously, "What do you need these stone slabs for?"

"To be honest, it's actually related to the evil thoughts within me. If I had the help of those three stone tablets, I guarantee that my strength would be at its peak, enough to make me stand out among most Pokémon in the world!"

When talking about his strength, Hoopa crossed his arms, making him look like Tauros (Fire Seed) unleashing Rage Bull on Miltank—so awesome!

"You know my ability; I can catch all sorts of Pokémon anytime, anywhere. Although there aren't many restrictions on how I catch Pokémon, there's one thing that's always been bothering me."

Hoopa, with a bitter face, complained to Li Luochen, "I can't bring back any beings that are too powerful, like Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, Reshiram, and Zekrom."

"I can't even get them to use moves to save me from a distance! I usually just fish out Suicune and the others."

Li Luochen understood.

To put it simply...

Hoopala can't handle those incredibly powerful legendary Pokémon.

You can easily catch creatures like Suijun, Entei, and Raikou.

And one can freely move between the golden rings.

In contrast, Hoopa's brother in Carlos couldn't freely traverse the Golden Rings, but he could still acquire powerful legends to enhance his reputation.

Well, everyone has their own difficulties.

"I'll definitely help you with this."

Li Luochen readily agreed.

It's just a matter of opening your mouth; I'll help carry it if I run into it again.

"Alright! Thank you, lucky one!"

Hoopa thanked him profusely before pointing to the Dragon Slab and saying, "Restoring the original essence of this slab is actually quite simple. All you need to do is have a legendary dragon-level Pokémon unleash a move on it, and the slab will be restored to its original essence."

As he listened, Li Luochen finally understood the stone slab's intended use: "So this thing is a power bank? You can replenish your energy with your techniques casually, and then absorb energy directly from inside when needed?"

"Pretty much, that understanding is indeed correct."

Hupa agreed with Li Luochen's statement, feeling that the analogy was perfectly valid: "It's a pity that the whereabouts of the remaining seventeen stone slabs are unknown, and we don't know when we'll be able to find the three stone slabs I need."

"What are you talking about?"

The door to the VIP viewing area was pushed open.

After finishing her battle, Gadriya walked in and saw Li Luochen and Huba talking about something, so she chose to join in the conversation.

"We're talking about the stone tablets. Hoopa needs three kinds of tablets, one for superpowers, one for evil, and one for ghosts..."

Li Luochen recounted the general outline of the events to Jiadeliya.

After listening, Gadriya remained silent, took out her phone, and contacted her family.

after awhile.

"Is this the stone slab you're talking about?"

Cattleya held up her phone, and a photo appeared on the screen.

It was a raspberry-colored slab of stone.

[Item: Magical Stone Tablet]

[Note: A Psychic-type stone. When held by a normal Pokémon, it increases the power of Psychic-type moves. When held by Arceus, it grants immunity to non-superior damage.]

The fact that the system can display it means it's genuine.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Hoopa's eyes lit up as she pointed at the magical stone tablet on her phone and exclaimed, "Girl, where did you get this?"

"Oh, this is what I bought for Zhulan to do research on. After we finished, we just threw it into the Battle Castle. I just asked my family to take some pictures of it."

Zhu Lan loves archaeology, so Cattleya used to buy her little gadgets to study.

Since Zhu Lan couldn't figure out anything about this stone slab, Jia Deliya found it quite pleasing to the eye and simply left it at home as a decoration to gather dust.

"Do you want it? If so, I'll have my family bring it over."

Cattleya pointed to the stone slab and asked Li Luochen and Hupa.

"Yes! Why not?"

Hupa nodded quickly: "From now on, you're my own sister! If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll definitely be the first to call my older brother to come and back you up!"

Li Luochen, on the other hand, wanted to be on the safe side: "If we're going to send it over, we need to get a strong trainer to escort it."

"Of course, I already have someone in mind."

Cattleya also knew the importance of the stone tablet. Besides her family, she also had a close friend who was someone she could trust.

"Baby, how about I call Wanlong over?"
