As Ash gave the command, a pillar of violet-red flame rushed across the ground, heading straight for the Kleavor lying in front of the Grandtree Arena.
Just as the flames were about to hit, the Kleavor, previously motionless, suddenly opened its eyes.
It propped its arms against the ground, and its huge body sprang into the air, narrowly avoiding the Flamethrower.
Irida and Lian were both stunned: "Was the Kleavor just pretending to be down? How's that possible?"
Before they could react from the shock, Cynthia's order rang out.
"Samurott, use Hydro Pump!"
Among everyone present, she was the only one who unconditionally trusted Ash, believing that Ash wouldn't attack the fallen King for no reason.
So she had long prepared Samurott for pursuit.
In the instant that Kleavor leaped into the air, Samurott's Hydro Pump erupted from its mouth.
The massive stream of water struck it squarely in the chest, pinning it back to the ground.
"Boom!"
Kleavor crashed back to the ground again.
The ground split around from the impact, and the golden light covering its body shook violently.
The golden light did not immediately disappear.
But the power that had been gathering in its body finally scattered completely after this blow.
Ash closed his eyes to sense for a moment, confirming that Kleavor had truly lost the ability to continue fighting this time.
"This time, it's done."
Irida still couldn't quite react.
If Ash hadn't noticed the abnormality earlier, they would have been attacked suddenly by Kleavor once they got close.
Considering the power of those giant rock axes, the consequences could be imagined.
It's safe to say, Ash saved all of their lives.
"Ash, how did you discover it?"
"I have a special power called Aura Power, and this power can sense the energy within Pokemon."
Ash walked towards the fallen Kleavor: "Even though Kleavor's body was still, the energy within it kept gathering, indicating it was waiting for a chance to counterattack."
"It was playing dead."
Irida: …
What is this Aura Power? Besides that thing called the Power of Viridian, now there's another ability called Aura Power.
Is this boy called Ash a superhuman? Why does he have so many strange abilities?
But Irida also knew these powers were secrets to Ash, and even if she asked, Ash probably wouldn't tell.
Therefore, even though Irida was very curious, she could only suppress this curiosity in her heart.
On the other hand, Lian wasn't thinking that far. He was only concerned about Kleavor's condition right now.
Seeing the golden light still lingering on Kleavor, he couldn't help but ask, "The King has been defeated, why is this power still here?"
"Because defeating it is just the first step." Ash squatted in front of Kleavor, raising his right hand, "Now comes the real pacification."
A gentle green light glowed from his palm.
The Power of Viridian slowly flowed into Kleavor's body through his hand.
The previously raging and chaotic Aura gradually calmed under the influence of the green light.
Ash also felt the pain that Kleavor had been enduring at that moment.
The Golden Power continuously stimulated its body, keeping it in a state of anger and chaos.
Even though it had lost its ability to fight, the power still tried to force it to stand again.
"It's okay now." Ash whispered with his eyes closed, his voice slowly entering Kleavor's mind, "The battle is over, you don't have to continue bearing the push and torment of this power..."
The Power of Viridian continually soothed Kleavor's consciousness, and the golden light covering its body began to change.
Initially, it slightly trembled, then a crack appeared on its chest, quickly spreading across its entire body.
"Crack!"
The golden light completely shattered, and countless golden particles rose from Kleavor and slowly dissipated in the sky above Grandtree Arena.
As the golden light vanished, Kleavor's huge body gradually reverted to its original size.
Its tense axes also slowly relaxed, and the violent emotion Ash sensed finally disappeared completely.
Kleavor returned to normal.
Everyone watched Ash intently, and Ash also opened his eyes, making a victory sign towards everyone,
"Pacification successful."
"Really? That's great!!" Lian cheered in celebration the first chance he got.
Irida also let out a sigh of relief, while Adaman by the side was full of admiration.
Since Ash can pacify Kleavor, it means Ash might also pacify the Kings of other regions, including the ones their Diamond Clan revered!
The Hisui Region is saved!
Once Kleavor's last shred of golden light dissipated, Ash clearly felt that the power disrupting its consciousness had left completely.
This time it was truly over.
As everyone's attention focused on Kleavor, a figure cloaked in black cloth quietly appeared behind the Grandtree.
The figure looked at the gradually dissipating golden particles, and clicked their tongue lightly.
"It's really been resolved… Could these two be that variable?"
An odd power surged beneath the black cloth, completely isolating his life aura from the outside world.
Even when Ash was using Aura Power just now, he hadn't sensed a person hiding behind the Grandtree.
The figure didn't linger and quickly entered the forest, soon vanishing near the Grandtree Arena.
On the other side, Irida and Lian quickly came to Kleavor's side.
The two first observed its breathing, then checked the positions on its arms and abdomen that had been attacked.
