I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon-Chapter 1380: Folded Space

After Absol had absorbed all of Yveltal's source energy, Yuga activated the Insight ability and looked at it.

...
Absol had actually leaped from the Champion level to the Master level in one go, and now there were no longer any hidden dangers associated with the black orb.
"Absol~"
Absol let out a long howl toward the sky, its Master level aura surging outward, filled with immense pride.
Of course, whether it was Xerneas or Florges, both were still stronger than it. So Absol's excitement barely lasted two seconds before it calmed down.
It still had a long road ahead!
"Congratulations, human!" Xerneas sincerely offered its congratulations. It knew that with Absol's current strength, it was already an incredibly formidable existence in the human world.
Yuga was indeed overjoyed at this moment, so he replied with a broad smile, "Thank you! But now, how should we handle Yveltal?" He gestured toward Yveltal, which had now transformed into a massive cocoon.
"Uh..."
Xerneas hesitated upon hearing this. It couldn't just leave Yveltal here, could it? If it were discovered by someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be disastrous.
After thinking for a long time, Xerneas still couldn't come up with a suitable place to relocate Yveltal's cocoon.
Since no immediate solution came to mind, Xerneas finally said, "Let's set that matter aside for now. First, I should take care of this place." It glanced around at the Allearth Forest.
During its battle with Yveltal, some areas of the Allearth Forest had already been purified by Xerneas's Fairy Aura, but other areas remained barren wastelands.
"I'll stay behind to watch over Yveltal," Yuga took the initiative to suggest.
The Allearth Forest was enormous, and Xerneas couldn't possibly purify everything right away, nor could it carry Yveltal's cocoon on its back while doing so. Leaving someone behind to guard it was the best option.
"Then I'll leave it to you, human," Xerneas nodded in agreement. It hadn't even bothered to ask Yuga's name all this time, probably because it figured they would never meet again after this.
Since Xerneas didn't ask, Yuga didn't feel the need to bring it up either—it wasn't necessary.
With that, Xerneas activated its Fairy Aura and departed. Wherever the Fairy Aura swept across, the charred land gradually returned to normal.
Xerneas didn't return until the next day. As soon as it arrived, it excitedly told Yuga, "Human, I've found a place to relocate Yveltal!"
That fast?
Yuga was utterly puzzled. Wasn't Xerneas supposed to be purifying the Allearth Forest? The forest was barren and desolate—one could see everything at a glance. How could Xerneas have found a place to settle Yveltal?
"Really? Then let's hurry and take Yveltal over there!" Although Yuga felt confused, he didn't doubt Xerneas' words. Xerneas wouldn't joke about something like this.
"Alright, but..."
Transporting Yveltal was another problem. Xerneas found itself troubled again—there was no way it could carry Yveltal on its back!
After Xerneas explained the issue to Yuga, he patted his chest confidently. "No problem! Leave it to me!"
He then had Florges weave a net using green vines and let Dragonite carry the net in its claws, lifting Yveltal into the air. Just like that, Yveltal was transported.
Under Xerneas' guidance, Yuga and his team arrived at the center of Allearth Forest. Looking at the barren land before him, Yuga asked in confusion, "Is this the place you were talking about?"
"Yes!" Xerneas responded enthusiastically.
Yuga wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. Otherwise, how could he not see how this place was suitable for settling Yveltal?
However, what happened next made Yuga's eyes widen in shock.
A beam of light shot out from Xerneas' antlers, and a passageway appeared before it. Looking through the portal, Yuga saw a dense forest.
There was actually a folded space here!
At that moment, Yuga suddenly thought of the map provided by the system. It seemed that the large group of Electric-type Pokémon should be inside this folded space.
"This is the place!" After saying that, Xerneas stepped into the folded space, and Yuga hurriedly followed.
Upon entering the folded space, Yuga examined the surroundings. It looked no different from the forests outside.
But that wasn't important. As long as the place was well-hidden and could accommodate Yveltal, it would do.
Yuga followed behind Xerneas as they walked forward. Suddenly, he heard rustling sounds coming from the grass beside him. Turning his head, he caught a glimpse of a yellow figure dashing past.
A Pokémon! Yuga was thrilled.
Unfortunately, the little creature was too fast, and Yuga didn't get a clear look at it.
Xerneas had also just discovered this place for the first time. It had never been here before and was currently pondering where exactly in this folded space to place Yveltal's cocoon.
They hadn't walked far when suddenly, a loud commotion came from ahead. Immediately afterward, Yuga saw a large group of Helioptile and Heliolisk rushing out and surrounding them.
Electric-type Pokémon! Seeing this group of Helioptile and Heliolisk, Yuga was overjoyed.
At the same time, the Helioptile and Heliolisk were equally ecstatic upon seeing Xerneas. After decades, they could finally leave this place!
An aged Heliolisk slowly walked out from among the group and directly knelt before Xerneas in reverence.
It recognized Xerneas. Decades ago, during the "Great Destruction," it had been fortunate enough to catch a fleeting glimpse of Xerneas and Yveltal in battle.
After some inquiry, Yuga and Xerneas quickly learned the history of this folded space.
It turned out that during the "Great Destruction" decades ago, when Yveltal turned Allearth Forest into a wasteland, this group of Helioptile and Heliolisk had been trapped here, unable to escape in time.
At that time, the death aura was spreading throughout Allearth Forest. If they couldn't get out, they would soon succumb to the encroaching death energy, turning into nothing but dry bones.
Fortunately, at that time, the guardian of the forests in the Kalos region, Celebi, was present. Unable to bear seeing such a large number of Helioptile and Heliolisk perish, Celebi took action. While Xerneas was holding off Yveltal, Celebi encircled this area and transformed it into a folded space, providing the Helioptile and Heliolisk with a place to survive.
Creating this folded space was no easy task for Celebi. After exhausting its energy, it quickly vanished into the flow of time.
Following their fierce battle, both Xerneas and Yveltal fell into slumber, and naturally, neither of them discovered the existence of this folded space.
Moreover, since the Allearth Forest had become a forbidden land of death, no living creature had been able to set foot in it for decades, making it even less likely that this folded space would be discovered.
However, while this folded space had protected the Helioptile and Heliolisk, it had also trapped them.
It wasn't that they couldn't leave; rather, the outside world had become a dead land. If they stepped outside, they would immediately succumb to the erosion of the deathly energy. Thus, for decades, they had been forced to remain here.
The forest within this folded space was once just an ordinary part of Allearth Forest, abundant in the past but now scarce in resources—especially berry trees, which were essential for Pokémon survival and were almost nonexistent.
So, while the Helioptile and Heliolisk were safe, food had become their greatest challenge.
For years, many of them had survived by consuming ordinary plants.
Though such plants could fill their stomachs, they were far from sufficient to sustain Pokémon.
Pokémon rely on high-energy foods like berries to maintain their strength. Without them for an extended period, the abilities of future generations gradually decline. The most evident consequence was their weakening physical constitution.
After decades, a large number of Helioptile and Heliolisk had gradually perished. Though there were still survivors, most were the elderly, the weak, and the sick.
If this continued, their species would soon go extinct naturally.
Fortunately, fate had smiled upon them—Xerneas had returned, and they no longer had to remain trapped.
After listening to the Heliolisk leader's account, both Yuga and Xerneas were deeply moved.
Seeing the sympathy in Xerneas' eyes, Yuga seized the opportunity and said, "Xerneas, why don't you entrust these Helioptile and Heliolisk to me? I will find a proper place for them."
Since this folded space was going to be used to house Yveltal, the Helioptile and Heliolisk could no longer stay here.
Xerneas stared at Yuga for over ten seconds before finally nodding in agreement.
When Xerneas asked the Helioptile and Heliolisk if they were willing to leave with Yuga, Yuga deliberately activated the special energy in his body—Celebi's Blessing.
Since it was Celebi who had saved their species, they held unparalleled reverence for it. The moment they sensed the same energy radiating from Yuga, they agreed without hesitation.
Besides, since Yuga had arrived together with Xerneas, they had no reason to doubt his intentions.
Only Xerneas remained unconvinced. It fixed its gaze on Yuga for another ten seconds, making him break into a cold sweat.
Now, Xerneas had finally seen through him—this human wasn't a bad person, but he was certainly not as innocent as he appeared.
This boy is quite cunning!
Having obtained such a large group of Electric-type Pokémon, Yuga had essentially accomplished his goal for this trip, though it had not been without its ups and downs.
While Xerneas continued searching within the folded space for a suitable location to place Yveltal, Yuga remained where he was, working on building rapport with the Helioptile and Heliolisk.
He took out a large pile of berries—enough to fill the stomachs of every single Helioptile and Heliolisk present.
Although Yuga had some Pokeblock on him, there was no way they would be enough to feed so many Helioptile and Heliolisk, so he could only let them make do with berries for now.
A few of the surviving Heliolisk from the time of the "Great Destruction" shed tears of excitement upon tasting the berries. After decades, they were finally able to eat the delicious berries once more.
While the Helioptile and Heliolisk were eating, Yuga took the opportunity to conduct a rough count of their numbers and assess their potential.
There were nearly eight hundred Helioptile and Heliolisk in total. All of the Heliolisk were survivors from the time of the "Great Destruction"—among the newborns, none had evolved into their final form.
For a Helioptile to evolve into a Heliolisk, it required a Sun Stone, and naturally, there was no such thing in this folded space.
The surviving Heliolisk were all relatively high-level. The lower-leveled ones had naturally shorter lifespans and had long since perished due to the lack of high-energy food, unable to make any further progress.
Of course, the remaining high-level Heliolisk were all weak and frail, almost no different from ordinary Pokémon at this point.
Apart from the dozen or so high-level Heliolisk that were still left, among the remaining Helioptile, only about a dozen had green potential, but nearly half of the rest were at the yellow potential Pokémon.
Yuga had to admit that while the system had been frustrating this time, the final quality of these Pokémon was at least guaranteed.
If the quality of this Helioptile group had been as bad as that of the Skrelp group he had meet before, he would have been devastated.
As long as his luck wasn't completely terrible, he could slowly use Innovation Potions to enhance their potential after taking them back. The number of high-potential Pokémon that would emerge from this was bound to be considerable.
Currently, the success rate of the Innovation Potion for improving yellow Pokémon had increased to fifty percent. Yuga believed that before long, he would be able to complete his main storyline mission.
The system's mission requirements specified that the Pokémon could not be cultivated from the groups already existing in his Ecopark. Although Yuga did have a single Helioptile in his Ecoaprk, a single Pokémon did not constitute a group. So, after confirming with the system, he had verified that this Helioptile population met the mission requirements.
Once the Helioptile and Heliolisk had eaten and drunk their fill, Yuga began capturing them one by one into Poké Balls.
With so many Pokémon, just purchasing the Poké Balls alone had cost him over a hundred thousand Pokédollars—and that was just for standard red-and-white Poké Balls. Fortunately, he was wealthy now, and buying from the system shop was convenient.
Currently, standard Poké Balls and common berries were permanent stock in the system shop, available for unlimited purchase.
Not long after, Xerneas returned, having finally found a place to settle Yveltal. With that, Yuga had Dragonite carry Yveltal's cocoon and accompanied Xerneas to the designated location.
The place Xerneas had found was a deep pool located in the depths of the folded space. Though not particularly large in surface area, it was bottomless—just the right size to hold Yveltal's cocoon.
At the edge of the deep pool, Yuga carefully removed the green vine net that had been wrapped around Yveltal's cocoon, then gently pushed it into the water.
As they watched the cocoon sink slowly into the depths, disappearing from view, both Yuga and Xerneas let out a breath of relief.
Afterward, Yuga went to another area, dug up some shrubs, and transplanted them around the pool. The branches and leaves of the shrubs spread out, concealing the pool's entrance. If one didn't search carefully, it wouldn't be easy to discover.
Seeing how meticulous Yuga was, Xerneas nodded in satisfaction.
