# Chapter 168: The Power of Bonds
Bai Feng made up his mind that from now on, he must diligently train his Psychic power and carefully raise his Pokémon. No matter what, being stronger would always provide more Safety.
Thinking this, Bai Feng pushed open the Door and walked into the Building before him.
Only upon entering did he realize that the Building was completely empty, bare, with not even a piece of Paper stuck on the walls.
After looking around the first floor and finding nothing, Bai Feng stepped up and walked towards the Second Floor.
The layout of the Second Floor was a bit more complex than the first. The first floor only had a Living Room and a Kitchen, while the Second Floor had a loop-shaped Corridor with empty Rooms along its sides.
Bai Feng initially thought all the Rooms were empty, but as he passed the innermost one, he saw a wooden table, and it seemed there was something placed on it.
Bai Feng strode over to the wooden table and saw two things on it: a neatly folded piece of Paper and an exquisite black Wooden Box.
Bai Feng picked up the Paper and opened it. It was covered in dense Text, and the Headline was "Revival Block Recipe".
Revival Blocks are a very precious Potion. No matter how serious the Injuries a Human or Pokémon suffers, they can help the injured party return to their pre-injury state without any side effects.
And the Raw Material for Revival Blocks is Revival Herb!
Revival Herb itself is also a medicinal material that can help Pokémon fully recover from Injuries, but direct use has side effects.
Revival Herb is not only unbearably bitter, but after a Pokémon uses it, their internal Energy will be weakened, and their Purity will be affected to a certain extent.
However, when made into Revival Blocks before use, these side effects disappear.
Bai Feng happily put away the Recipe, then picked up the black Wooden Box and slowly opened it.
Inside the Box was a deep purple Crystal, only the size of a thumb, rhombic in shape, emitting a deep and captivating Light.
Bai Feng reached out and held the Crystal in his hand. The next second, the Crystal shone brightly and transformed into countless purple Light Spots that surged towards his Head.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The moment the Light Spots entered Bai Feng's Head, he felt like his Mind was about to explode. Something seemed to be constantly churning and stirring in his Head, and he couldn't help but roar.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Because the Pain was too intense, Bai Feng collapsed directly onto the Ground, curling into a ball with his hands clutching his Head.
At the same time that the anomaly occurred with Bai Feng, Bai Ye, who was Training in Phantump Forest, also experienced an unexpected event. It suddenly felt its Mental Power rapidly expanding, and its Head felt like it was about to burst from the quickly increasing Mental Power.
"Gardevoir!!!"
Gardevoir's Mental Power around its Body went wild, creating a Mental Power storm that churned up the surrounding Land and Trees. The Giant Trees that originally required several people to hug were even uprooted directly and torn into a pile of fragments by the Mental Power.
Carbink was very close to Bai Ye and was directly thrown far away by the sudden storm.
"meixi~"
The Mental Power storm was too terrifying, so much so that Carbink couldn't get close and could only hide in the distance, letting out worried sounds.
At this moment, Jirachi's Spiritual Body appeared beside Carbink and said, "Don't worry, Bai Ye should not be in danger. It has established a very strong Bond with a Human, and has even created a Mental Power and Mind connection. This situation is likely due to the Power of their Bond taking effect. The Human it established a Mental Power connection with suddenly experienced a surge in Mental Power, which in turn caused its Strength to surge."
Hearing Jirachi's words, Carbink finally felt relieved. This seemed to be a good thing.
"meixi~meixi~" You know so much.
"If you lived as long as me, you would also know a lot of Stuff!"
After an unknown amount of Time, the Mental Power storm around Bai Ye finally gradually subsided, but its Eyes still emitted an unrestrained purple Light. When Carbink looked into its Eyes, it immediately felt a sense of Mental Pressure arise spontaneously.
On the other side, Bai Feng, who had been in Pain to the point of fainting, also slowly woke up.
"Holy crap!"
He let out a swear word as he struggled to get up from the Ground, vigorously patting his temples.
It was just too painful!
After getting up from the Ground, Bai Feng was surprised to find that his Body was surrounded by a faint purple Light, which was a characteristic of Mental Power manifesting externally.
Wait! Is my Mental Power this strong?
Bai Feng tried to mobilize his Mental Power, and then easily flew himself into the air.
He also tried Teleport. His figure flickered in the air continuously, flashing back and forth more than ten times without his Mental Power showing signs of depletion.
You know, previously, Teleporting once was already his limit!
So all of this was thanks to that purple Crystal that had just disappeared? What kind of treasure was that, it's so amazing!
What Bai Feng didn't know was that the Crystal was a Mental Power Crystal cultivated by Sha Sha and Nai Nai through daily Meditate and Training after coming to this World. In other words, he had gotten nearly fourteen years of Mental Power cultivated by two super strong Psychic-type Pokemon for free.
No wonder he was in so much Pain when fusing with that Mental Power; the burden required to absorb so much Mental Power was not small.
The moment he noticed his Mental Power had become stronger, Bai Feng was overjoyed, and his previous resentment was gone.
Let it hurt, let him not have Mental Preparation, as long as it could make him stronger.
At this moment, what Bai Feng didn't know was that he wasn't the only one who had become stronger. This was the Bond between Humans and Pokémon.
After not seeing anything else in the Building, Bai Feng came out of the Distortion World.
The Method for coming out was the same as going in: just input Mental Power into the Pendant, and the Dimension's entrance and exit would automatically open.
Coming out of the Distortion World, Bai Feng still felt waves of Dizzy spells. His Mental Power had surged too much, and he couldn't immediately Adapt.
Taking out his Navigator, after confirming the direction of Pallet Town, Bai Feng set off.
At this time, a Pokemon Battle was taking place in Professor Oak's Research Institute Courtyard.
Two Pokémon were confronting each other on the Grassland, gritting their teeth: one was a Greninja, and the other was a Dewott. Many people were watching around them, all looking like the children participating in the Summer Camp this Time.
In the crowd, Classmate Da Fu was shouting indignantly, "Student Shen Mu, hit him hard, preferably beat that guy's Head in!"
"Student Shen Mu, go!" Wa Lian, next to Da Fu, also cheered for Shen Mu with an angry face.
That's right, one side of the Pokémon Battle on the field was Shen Mu, and the other was their new roommate, that difficult Senior Student.
Dewott was Shen Mu's Pokémon, and Greninja was that Senior Student's Pokémon.
"Cha cha cha!!!"
Shen Mu's Dewott pulled out the Shell from its waist, turning into streaks of afterimages, and rushed directly towards Greninja. Water Blades were emitting from the Shell, clearly indicating they were extremely sharp.
However, before Dewott could get close, Greninja jumped high, and at the same time, each of its hands held a Shuriken, which it threw towards Dewott one after another.
It was Water Shuriken!
Dewott's movements were agile. Dodging left and right, it easily dodged the two Shuriken and also jumped high, raising its Shell Blade to slash at Greninja.
However, Greninja performed an agile turn in the air, not only dodging the attack by stepping on Dewott's Body but also using the Pound Skill with its other foot, stepping heavily on Dewott's back.
"Cha!"
Dewott cried out in Pain and fell to the Ground, smashing a Large Pit into the originally flat Grassland.
"Dewott!!!"
Shen Mu exclaimed, looking at Dewott with a face full of worry.
"Cha~"
Dewott climbed out from Inside the Pit with a twisted face. After smiling at Shen Mu, it glared at the Greninja opposite.
Greninja stood there straight with its arms crossed, its gaze towards Dewott full of disdain. Its Expression was exactly like it was carved from the same mold as its Trainer.
"Shen Mu, go! Don't lose to that guy! If you win, I'll cover Dewott's Food Expenses for one month!" Da Fu shouted, jumping up and down from the Arena Outskirts.
At this moment, Xiao Zhi happened to be passing by nearby. He saw a group of people gathered in the Courtyard, so he quietly slipped into the Bush and then entered the Courtyard.
Hearing shouts coming from the crowd, he squeezed in using his small and agile Body.
When he saw the situation inside, Xiao Zhi's Eyes lit up: "Wow, Pokemon Battle!"
After getting back up, Dewott waved its hands, and its whole Body was immediately wrapped in Water Flow, turning into a Water Gun that smashed hard towards Greninja.
"Greninja, Shadow Clone!"
As the Senior Student's voice fell, Greninja's figure flickered, splitting into several identical figures. The Water Gun that Dewott hit was just one of the illusions.
Greninja and its illusions kept circling around Dewott, making Dewott Dizzy, and took the opportunity to throw Shuriken onto Dewott's Body one by one.
"Cha!"
With a cry of Pain, Dewott fell to the Ground and couldn't get up.
Bai Feng saw this scene when he came back.
"Dewott!"
Student Shen Mu ran over in a panic and held Dewott in his arms, but then heard the Senior Student opposite say in a disdainful voice:
"I warned you long ago not to stick your nose into others' business casually. What Strength could you guys from the Breeding Department possibly have? Truly overestimate yourselves!"
Hearing this, Student Shen Mu's Face turned red. He wanted to refute the other party but didn't know what to say.
The scene was tense because of this sentence, and it wasn't just Classmate Da Fu, Wa Lian, and Shen Mu who were angry. Even if others had no direct Contradiction with this Senior Student, many of them were from the Breeding Department. How could they feel good hearing the other party make such a sweeping statement?
So everyone glared at the Senior Student with angry eyes.
But would anyone step forward at this time? No!
Because just in this short while, that Senior Student had consecutively defeated Da Fu's Tsareena, Wa Lian's Pikachu, and Shen Mu's Dewott with just one Greninja.
In this Situation, who would dare to step forward? Wouldn't that be asking for humiliation? That Senior Student's words were not pleasant to hear.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the anger was somewhat tense, Bai Feng couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Bai Feng!!!"
Seeing Bai Feng appear, Da Fu, Wa Lian, and Shen Mu exclaimed in unison.
Xiao Zhi, squeezed in the crowd, also recognized the big brother he had met once. "It's that big brother!"
Seeing Bai Feng, the Senior Student pursed his lips. "Heh~ Another one. There's no end to it!"
For some reason, the "heh" sound the Senior Student made made Bai Feng feel extremely annoyed.
At this moment, Da Fu walked to Bai Feng's side and briefly explained the Contradiction that occurred between them and the Senior Student in the Dormitory during the two days Bai Feng was away.
This Senior Student was a Student from the Battle Department. He woke up early every day to take his Pokémon for Special Training. His schedule was not the same as Da Fu and Shen Mu.
When he woke up early, Da Fu and the others were basically still sleeping.
But if you say you wake up early alone, then you should be a little careful and not make too much noise.
But this Senior Student never paid attention. As soon as he got up, he made a lot of noise in the Dormitory. He even put his Pokémon in the Dormitory to feed them, not to mention the noisy sound that made!
The Dormitory is only that big, and it was early morning. If you make such a fuss, how can Others sleep? Isn't such a large place outside enough for you to feed your Pokémon?
Da Fu and the others were extremely angry.
This Senior Student not only woke up early but also slept late, and insisted on using the Speakerphone at night to watch Pokémon Battle Video. Others told him to wear Headphones, but he turned a deaf ear. Wouldn't you be angry?
Da Fu and Student Shen Mu endured all this.
This morning, Classmate Da Fu and Student Shen Mu were gathered in the Dormitory, studying the Method of making Energy Cubes together, when a Malamar suddenly appeared. It not only snatched away half of the Energy Cubes the two had made but also made a Grimace at the two.
Truly ill-mannered!
In a fit of anger, Da Fu let his Tsareena give Malamar a good beating.
The Senior Student entered from outside and happened to see his Malamar being beaten, so without a word, he beat up Da Fu and Shen Mu again. And after that, he said:
"You Students from the Breeding Department aren't you just serving us from the Battle Department? My Malamar just ate some of your Energy Cubes, that's your honor, you should feel proud, because you are finally useful!"
Hearing this, could Da Fu tolerate this? So he issued a Challenge to the Senior Student.
No... it should be called a Duel! A Duel concerning Dignity!
Obviously, Da Fu couldn't be this Senior Student's opponent. He not only lost the Confrontation but also suffered very severe humiliation from the other party.
Wa Lian was also there at the time. Although she and Da Fu didn't get along, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Seeing Da Fu being humiliated, she couldn't help but stick up for him.
The result was predictable, she was also humiliated.
That Senior Student didn't hold back his tongue just because Wa Lian was a girl and almost made Wa Lian cry.
Student Shen Mu, as one of the parties involved, naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing seeing his two Companions being humiliated. But they hadn't even started fighting yet, and the other party humiliated him beforehand.
Saying things like don't try to be a Hero saving the damsel if you don't have the Strength, it's better to be discerning, when encountering someone stronger than yourself, just obey obediently...
In the end, he talked Shen Mu into fighting even though he didn't want to.
And then happened the scene Bai Feng saw.
