After securing the seriously injured Pheromosa with specialized restraining chains, Roy carefully applied a small amount of Potion spray to the Ultra Beast's wounds. He administered only the minimal dose necessary—just enough to bring the creature back to consciousness without fully healing its injuries.
Pheromosa's eyes fluttered open, imdiately registering the pain coursing through its body. As awareness returned and it felt the cold tal restraints binding its limbs, the Ultra Beast quickly assessed its predicant. Its gaze shifted between Roy and Lucario, eyes blazing with fierce resentnt and barely contained rage.
"Phero-mo-sa!" the creature hissed venomously.
The aning behind its words was unmistakable—it was demanding to be released imdiately.
Roy paid no attention to Pheromosa's protests, instead focusing his concentration on extending his Aura abilities to examine the captive Ultra Beast more thoroughly. Through this careful sensory investigation, he confird his earlier suspicions: there was absolutely no trace of the legendary "Ultimate Aura" emanating from Pheromosa's being.
"Has your strength increased at all since you traveled through the Ultra Wormhole to reach this world?" Roy asked directly, his voice carrying both curiosity and scientific interest.
Pheromosa responded with a stream of what could only be described as cursing, its tone growing increasingly hostile and defiant.
The language spoken by Ultra Beasts differed completely from the communication thods used by Pokemon native to this world. Roy recalled from his studies that even owth, with its exceptional linguistic abilities, had admitted complete inability to translate Ultra Beast speech patterns. The alien nature of their communication created an almost insurmountable barrier between the two species.
If not for the fact that w, Lucario, and Roy all possessed the power of Aura—which allowed them to understand aning beyond re words—they would have been completely unable to comprehend Pheromosa's responses.
"It's really not going to cooperate willingly," Roy observed with a resigned shrug. He turned toward w, who had been watching the interrogation with obvious fascination. "Would you mind using Hypnosis on it, w? We need honest answers."
w's curiosity about Ultra Beasts had been piqued from the mont Pheromosa erged from the dinsional portal. The ancient Pokemon imdiately agreed to Roy's request, its body beginning to glow with pink psychic energy as Confusion surged outward.
Under the overwhelming power of a Legendary Pokemon's hypnotic abilities, Pheromosa's resistance crumbled instantly. Its fierce expression softened into one of docile compliance, all traces of defiance vanishing as the ntal influence took hold.
When Roy posed his question again, Pheromosa provided a straightforward and revealing answer.
After traveling through the Ultra Wormhole and arriving in this world, its abilities across all categories had increased by a full five tis compared to its original strength in Ultra Space.
Roy's eyebrows shot up in surprise at this revelation. The magnitude of improvent was far greater than he had anticipated.
This information caused Roy to reflect deeply on how Pokemon researchers in this world categorized Ultra Beast abilities. The scientific community had collectively defined all Ultra Beast capabilities under the umbrella term "Beast Boost," treating it as their primary ability.
However, various observed phenona suggested that this classification was fundantally incorrect. In Pheromosa's case specifically, Roy believed that its unknown charm-based ability—the power to srize and confuse other Pokemon through beauty—was likely its true natural ability, rather than any form of Beast Boost.
The problem was that humans in the Pokemon world possessed limited knowledge about Ultra Beasts. When faced with the dramatic increase in power that these creatures displayed after dinsional travel, researchers found that explaining everything through "Ultimate Aura" alone lacked sufficient scientific credibility.
After all, when compared to their original world capabilities, Ultra Beasts showed truly extraordinary improvent. A complete five-fold increase in all abilities represented an almost unbelievable enhancent.
If Ultimate Aura could really provide such dramatic power increases, then by comparison, the Totem Pokemon's aura enhancent would seem utterly insignificant. The disparity in power scaling made the entire theory questionable.
Due to insufficient evidence and unconvincing explanations, researchers in the Pokemon world had been forced to add various hypothetical modifications to their theories, creating an increasingly complex web of speculation.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Roy's mind like lightning. A question that had been puzzling him ever since he first beca a Pokemon trainer suddenly resurfaced with new relevance.
The fundantal mystery was straightforward yet profound: Why had Pokemon beco significantly stronger after arriving on Earth?
Combining this long-standing question with Pheromosa's current abnormal condition, Roy began to formulate a bold new hypothesis that could potentially explain both phenona.
"Could it be that the ability to gain enhanced power after traveling to a new world isn't actually an exclusive privilege of Ultra Beasts?" Roy mused aloud. "What if this enhancent is actually a fundantal property that all magical creatures classified as 'Pokemon' naturally possess?"
He continued developing his theory: "Earth represents a completely new world for both regular Pokemon and Ultra Beasts alike. Therefore, both groups would experience the sa type of ability enhancent upon arrival. Under these equal conditions—where all creatures receive the sa proportional power boost—Ultra Beasts would appear as ordinary Pokemon rather than the overwhelmingly powerful beings described in original research. This would explain why Pheromosa seems relatively weak compared to expectations."
Roy's hypothesis was undeniably bold, but it offered a logical explanation for several unexplained phenona. According to his theory, when Pokemon first arrived on Earth, they acquired certain mysterious "characteristics" inherent to this new world, resulting in their dramatic strength increases.
While Roy couldn't identify the exact nature of these acquired traits, he felt confident that his hypothesis possessed a reasonable degree of credibility based on all available information and observations.
"There are definitely many secrets hidden behind the arrival of Pokemon in this world," Roy murmured thoughtfully, his mind racing through the implications of his theory.
"w!" w crossed its small arms and nodded enthusiastically in agreent, as if it had been following Roy's reasoning and found it sound.
"Don't just nod along," Roy replied with mild irritation. "If you hadn't fallen into such a deep sleep on the day your world was destroyed, would I still need to be making these guesses in the first place?"
Roy had previously questioned w extensively about the destruction of the original Pokemon world, hoping to gain insight into the catastrophic events that had led to their current situation. Unfortunately, the answer he received had been deeply unsatisfying: w simply didn't know what had happened.
According to w's account, it had been in deep slumber when the world-ending disaster occurred. By the ti the ancient Pokemon realized that "world destruction" was taking place, it was far too late to investigate or intervene aningfully. The only action w had been able to take was using its remaining power to preserve the Tree of beginning, ensuring that at least so remnant of their original world would survive.
Roy knew that Ho-Oh possessed knowledge of the "truth of the world" and the real circumstances behind the dinsional catastrophe. However, the legendary phoenix differed greatly from w in terms of personality and approach. Ho-Oh was calculating, mysterious, and prone to speaking in riddles rather than providing direct answers.
Perhaps only by achieving the status of "master" that Ho-Oh had ntioned could Roy hope to learn the complete truth about what had really happened to the Pokemon world.
w maintained an expression of innocent helplessness, genuinely believing that even if it hadn't been asleep during the disaster, it would have been impossible to uncover the truth about the world's destruction. The psychic Pokemon understood its own nature too well—throughout its long existence, w had never participated in conflicts between legendary beings. Even if the world had been ending around it, w would most likely have been sowhere completely different, playing or exploring without any awareness of the cosmic drama unfolding.
Roy stared at w in speechless disbelief for several monts before being forced to laugh despite his frustration. "Should I praise you for being so self-aware of your own carefree nature?"
w responded with an adorable smile, clearly hoping to charm its way out of any further interrogation about its past negligence.
Roy shook his head in resignation, deciding to set aside all speculation about the "truth of the world" for the ti being. Even if he managed to uncover the complete truth about past events, such knowledge wouldn't necessarily help their current situation.
Without sufficient strength and ability, all the truth in the world would ultimately prove aningless. Ho-Oh had established the threshold for learning the "truth" at the legendary master level for good reasons—only soone with that degree of power could actually act on such dangerous knowledge.
anwhile, w seed to have developed quite a fondness for Pheromosa, deciding to keep the Ultra Beast as a permanent playmate. The ancient Pokemon appeared delighted at the prospect of having a new companion to interact with.
Naturally, the proud Pheromosa would rather face death than willingly submit to such treatnt. However, as soon as w activated its Hypnosis ability, the Ultra Beast's resistance crumbled completely, leaving it in a state of perfect obedience.
Their interactions quickly developed into a predictable pattern:
w would issue a command: "w! (Sit down!)"
Pheromosa would begin to protest defiantly: "Phero-mo-sa! (You ugly kitten, I will never—)"
w would imdiately interrupt: "Hypnosis!"
Pheromosa's tone would instantly change to complete submission: "Phero-mo-sa... (Master, I am completely obedient...)"
Roy watched this bizarre exchange with a mixture of amusent and concern. The dynamic between the two Pokemon was both entertaining and slightly disturbing.
w had always been a peaceful Pokemon by nature. Even when attacked directly, as Pheromosa had done earlier, w's typical responses involved either playing dead or simply fleeing from conflict. The ancient Pokemon genuinely disliked fighting and preferred to avoid confrontation whenever possible.
However, at Roy's suggestion, w had used its hypnotic abilities on another Pokemon for the first ti in its incredibly long existence. Watching the previously proud and defiant Pheromosa gradually succumb to its ntal influence, w experienced an entirely new sensation—the satisfaction that ca from "teaching" and controlling another being.
This novel experience awakened sothing within w that had never existed before: a genuine interest in dominance and control over other Pokemon.
Observing how w's behavior and personality were gradually being influenced by this new dynamic, Roy felt a growing sense of guilt about his role in corrupting the innocent ancient Pokemon. He had introduced w to concepts and behaviors that were fundantally opposed to its naturally peaceful disposition.
"Little Cosmog, are you feeling better now?" Roy asked gently, shifting his attention to the small nebula Pokemon resting on his shoulder. His voice carried genuine concern as he carefully examined Cosmog's condition after the earlier dinsional disturbance.
