He shook his wrist, a glint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"So the biggest change is still psychic power...?"
The presence of the Unown had always helped Cain subtly strengthen his psychic power.
However, as his power grew, that effect became smaller and smaller. Although it still existed, compared to Cain’s enormous reserves, it was like a drop in the ocean.
But the addition of this question mark Unown allowed him to clearly feel that his psychic power was still increasing.
It must be remembered that even among Advanced-level psychics, Cain’s power was already considered outstanding. Compared to some members of the Sacred Church who specialized in psychic abilities, at most they were only slightly stronger than him. Even so, now he could feel clear progress.
This point alone was already enough to satisfy Cain.
And besides the increase in the growth speed of his psychic power, what surprised him the most was his spatial sensitivity.
Spatial sensitivity could also be regarded as mastery over spatial energy. It was an innate ability, determined at birth, impossible to increase directly, whether in humans or Pokémon.
Without a special trigger, it almost never changed.
That was why some psychics or Psychic-type Pokémon, even though they possessed immense power, could not use Teleport.
Because they could not perceive space, or even if they could perceive it, they could not grasp or fold it, and thus could not traverse it.
Spatial talent was something innate. Some discovered it after awakening their psychic powers; others possessed it even without powers, though it was irrelevant to them.
Psychic power was, in a sense, the fuel that activated that spatial ability.
And now, with the addition of this question mark Unown, Cain felt that his spatial talent had been reinforced.
He was no longer a beginner. He knew that his spatial sensitivity was excellent compared to most psychics he knew.
The problem was that his initial psychic talent had been mediocre, which had limited his spatial potential.
He had taken a long time to master Teleport... and now, his spatial talent was strengthening once again.
Cain felt as though he was about to touch the sky. When his psychic power fully unleashed his spatial talent, there would be nothing in the world capable of stopping him. freewёbnoνel.com
Of course, this reinforcement only affected his talent, not the ability itself. Turning it into real strength was still crucial.
His excitement grew... but it did not last long, because something even more shocking had just appeared.
An automatic lifting platform began to slowly rise from the place the Unown had opened.
When he saw what was on it, Cain finally understood everything.
Why Giratina had been willing to sacrifice a precious Griseous Scale to try to obtain something on this Continent. Why Dialga and Palkia had created such a powerful special barrier to protect what lay hidden.
Why that question mark Unown, so strong, had been there as a kind of key.
It was all for the objects placed there.
And what could be so valuable that Cain set aside all astonishment and almost took it for granted?
They were three eggs!
More precisely, three broken eggs.
One black, one blue, and one silver. Each was far larger than a normal Pokémon egg, at least five times bigger.
They were not intact eggs. They were eggs whose Pokémon occupants had already been born.
Or rather...
They were three eggshells!
And as for who the original owners of those eggs were, there was no need to say.
The Pokémon eggs of Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia!
"No wonder... no wonder Giratina was willing to gamble a Griseous Scale. If I hadn’t been here, it wouldn’t even have been a gamble. The Sacred Church’s initial target was these three shells, and as long as Steven and the others hid well, once the Sacred Church obtained them, they would leave," Cain thought silently.
But his hands trembled slightly.
Not out of fear.
But out of excitement!
As a Pokémon breeder, Cain was thoroughly familiar with everything related to raising Pokémon.
One of the fundamental areas of knowledge was the handling of Pokémon eggs.
Most Pokémon, upon being born, devour their own shells. For them, that shell is their first food in the world, full of trace elements, energy, and nutrients vital to their growth.
After spending so long inside the egg, the shell has already fused with the Pokémon. Even newborns can digest it without any problem.
A Pokémon that eats its own shell truly completes its birth. If it does not, it will need a long time to make up for that deficiency.
Cain could not understand why these three deities had not devoured their shells at birth, preserving them until now.
Moreover, these were eggshells of three first-tier Legendary Pokémon. Without exaggeration, they were far more valuable than Giratina’s Griseous Scale.
If not for some unknown reason, they should have devoured them at birth. That they had been preserved to this day was nothing short of a miracle.
Cain slowly approached the platform. Looking at the three shells wrapped in halos of pure energy, his excitement was impossible to contain.
Suddenly, an extremely bold idea emerged in his mind.
These shells, belonging to three first-tier Legendary Pokémon, still retained such intense energy... it was astonishing.
The birth of a Legendary Pokémon was the crystallization of the world’s essence, a partial manifestation of its will. Some Pokémon, upon reaching their limit, were invested with divinity and took on responsibilities befitting it.
Of course, that applied to unique Legendary Pokémon. Pokémon like Moltres, Zapdos, or Articuno, although they also reflected the will of the world, were merely the extreme of elemental Pokémon, fundamentally different from unique Legendary Pokémon.
And those three shells...
Contained the residual origin energy of Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia.
Something even closer to the origin than Giratina’s Griseous Scale!
