Back home, Yang Tao stuffed his Void Armor into a chest, deciding not to use it for now.
He figured that since the villagers and investigators hadn't been affected, the corruption effect of the robe must have some kind of condition or limit.
"This thing is a serious weapon! I can't use it carelessly."
The last thing he wanted was to visit another group member's world and find it completely overrun by corrupted creatures and monstrous tentacles.
"There are still so many secrets in the Mysterious Era mod…"
Stepping outside, he glanced at the Pokémon spawning around him. That reminded him—he still hadn't been to Ultra Space yet!
Last time, he had found a naturally generated Ultra Wormhole but didn't enter, worried he wouldn't find his way back.
"I should craft either Solgaleo or Lunala first. Then I can open my own Ultra Wormholes!"
He summoned his shiny Arceus, hopped onto its back, and soared into the sky.
Was it just his imagination, or was Arceus flying faster than Suicune?
Could Legendary Pokémon have different flight speeds in Minecraft?
Groudon, what do you think?
He flew straight toward a Sunflower Plains biome, where he planned to find the first Pokémon needed to craft Solgaleo—Cosmog!
The wind rushed past as he flew, the cool breeze feeling incredibly refreshing.
Soon, he spotted a vast field of sunflowers below. Controlling Arceus, he descended.
There were no Cosmog spawns yet, so he started battling the small Pokémon around, passing the time while he waited.
"Go, Arceus !"
The boss-level Pokémon had started appearing, but the regular wild Pokémon in the area were still low-level.
He had been grinding here all day, but as expected of his bad luck, there was still no sign of Cosmog.
"Why is it so hard to find? Come on, Cosmog! Hurry up and show yourself! Follow me, and I'll take you to the good life!" He shouted into the empty plains, venting his frustration.
According to Murphy's Law, what you want to happen might not happen, but what you don't want to happen always will.
The sun rose again, marking another half day gone.
"Haku, I miss you! Come back already!" Cao Thief muttered to himself.
Thinking about Haku's ridiculous luck and intuition, he missed him even more.
If Haku had stayed, they might have already fused Solgaleo by now.
"I wonder how Zabuza and Haku are doing. There's been no news from them." Since Zabuza wasn't in the group, there was no way to contact him.
Bored, he sat on the ground, waiting for Cosmog to respawn while chatting in the group.
Naruto: "Sister Wenjing, I want to learn magic too! It would make cleaning my room so much easier!"
Yang Tao read Naruto's message and thought, Wow, so you want to learn magic just to be lazy?
But to be fair, magic in the Harry Potter world was super useful for daily life.
Zhang Wenjing: "If you want to learn, I'll upload it to the group share. You can give it a try!"
Zhang Wenjing uploaded a spell to the group share: *Scourgify*.
Naruto downloaded the file.
Naruto: "It's not working! What a shame!"
Zhang Wenjing: "No worries, you can try again later!"
Yang Tao also downloaded it and gave it a shot, but he couldn't use it either.
"Naruto, how's the Chunin Exam going?"
Naruto: "Big bro, you're here! The final round of the Chunin Exam is in a week. Are you coming?"
Yang Tao thought about the timing and replied, "We'll see. If I have time, I'll come. Oh, and if you see Zabuza and Bai, let them know to come back for a bit."
Naruto: "Got it, big bro!"
Ren Fa: "Group leader, you've been quiet these past few days! What have you been up to?"
Yang Tao: "I've been waiting for a Pokémon to spawn, but it just won't show up! It's driving me crazy! (|||)"
Yang Tao was having fun chatting in the group when, suddenly, he noticed a Cosmog had appeared nearby.
It was floating around him, almost as if it was saying, "Come chase me! If you catch me, I'll let you have me!"
Its gaseous body looked like a dark purple cloud, with two large antennae shimmering with tiny stars.
With an adorably innocent expression, it drifted back and forth across the plains.
Hearing an unfamiliar Pokémon cry beside him, Yang Tao immediately turned and saw the newly spawned Cosmog.
He quickly closed the chat.
"Almost missed you! Come on, Master Ball!"
With plenty of Master Balls on hand, he had basically become a one-throw capture master.
Cosmog had no chance to resist and was instantly caught.
Yang Tao released the newly captured Cosmog and held it in his arms to take a closer look.
"So light! This thing is basically just a cloud!"
Feeling its soft texture, he had to admit—if not for needing to evolve it into either Solgaleo or Lunala, he would've been tempted to keep it as a cuddle pillow.
Just as he was about to head home, he suddenly spotted a Ralts appearing nearby.
"This one looks good too—Psychic and Fairy type. Let's take a gamble!"
Yang Tao threw a Poké Ball and caught Ralts!
He quickly checked Ralts' stats.
Perfect! Absolutely perfect!
For the first time, Yang Tao felt like luck was on his side!
